He used his own analogy, and the meaning of what he said was very simple and straightforward.

A merchant surnamed Zeng said: Just like his business dealings with Liang Shanjun, he used to pay money to buy a large amount of soap and soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, refined salt and sugar, canned sauce meat, vermicelli noodles, biscuits and cakes, liquor, fur and other goods from Liang Shanjun.

Then he sold these goods to the people of Mizhou through his family's shop, because most of the people used them were also paid money, so he collected a large amount of paid money; After that, he used the money to buy the goods of the Liangshan army, and then sold them to the local people.

And so, it's a full cycle.

But now Liang Shanjun does not accept banknotes, and if he wants to do business with Liang Shanjun, he must exchange gold, silver and copper coins for gold and silver coins to complete the transaction. Then he transported Liang Shanjun's goods to the Mizhou store and sold them to the local people.

Because the most people use in their hands is to pay money, then in the end, will not he have less and less gold, silver and copper coins in his hands, and more and more money?

Seeing that the imperial court is issuing more and more banknotes, and the banknotes are depreciating day by day, maybe one day these banknotes will become waste paper!

Wouldn't he have worked hard for a whole year, but in the end he had a bankrupt family?

Rather than this, it is better not to do the business of Liang Shanjun, so that even if the banknotes are turned into waste paper, the garlic gold, silver ingots and copper coins stored in his family can still be kept, and he is still a rich man.

After listening to him, Li Gu immediately echoed: "What I said is, in this way, all the money will be smashed in our hands, once the money cannot be handed over one day, won't we all have to go bankrupt?" ”

Others also said: "This is too unfair, everyone should be fair and equal when doing business together, why don't you collect money?" ”

"You can't do this kind of business......"

On the side, General Lu and Lin Chong exchanged glances, and said in their hearts that these businessmen are really cunning and cunning, and they really know how to lead the rhythm with partial generalizations.

Fortunately, my brother has already thought about all this you said, and the four military advisors of the Liangshan Army (plus Zhu Wu) have already done research, discussion and deduction.

General Lu put down the glass teacup, cleared his throat and said, "You guys are exaggerating, aren't they?" In fact, it is better to look at the problem from a different angle. ”

The merchant surnamed Zeng said: "Change your perspective? Please also ask Lu Junshi to talk about it in detail. ”

"Actually, it's very simple, you just don't need to treat my Liangshanjun as a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, you assume that my Liangshanjun is a merchant of the Liao Kingdom, or a merchant of the Nanyang Kingdoms, or even the Great Food Country.

Do you trade privately with Liao, do you also use banknotes to trade? It's not that real money, silver and copper money are traded, and I haven't seen these big merchants who do maritime trade smash the money in their hands and end up bankrupt? ”

"This ......" The businessman surnamed Zeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak.

Li Gu's thinking was more active, and he immediately said: "But you Liangshan Army are not merchants of Liao State, can they be the same?" ”

"How is it different?"

General Lu smiled: "To put it bluntly, the soap and soap, toothbrush and toothpaste sold by our Liangshan Army, bags of refined salt, glass mirrors, glass cups, and Beizhu, fur, etc., are all from overseas.

Your dealings with us are essentially no different from those of the maritime dealers behind us. Isn't it? ”

After a pause, General Lu looked at Li Gu and the others: "And you deliberately ignored one thing.

According to what this former said, he bought two pieces of soap from us for one tael of silver, took them to Mizhou, assumed that each piece of soap was sold for half of a piece, and then assumed that he always paid 500 yuan in money.

In other words, the local people need to pay six bills to buy these two pieces of soap, right? ”

"That's right."

"So you mean, you use one or two pieces of silver, and after a busy work, you only get six bills of the same money, and these bills accumulate more and more, and in the end it is likely to become a pile of waste paper, which means that you exchange real money for a pile of waste paper, and finally go bankrupt, is that what you mean?"

"That's right!"

Lu Jiang and Lin Chong looked at each other and smiled, then turned their heads and looked at the man: "But you deliberately ignore a problem, that is, the local people do not have money in their hands, they continue to use money to buy your soap, or sugar, liquor, etc., where do these money come from?" ”

"This ......" Zeng was speechless again.

"Naturally, the money in their hands flows out of your hands."

Lin Chong then said to General Lu: "The two families raised a lot of silkworms, and finally reeled raw silk and sold it to Zeng Yuanwai's warehouse, in exchange for the money in Zeng Yuanwai's hand, so the money in Zeng Yuanwai's hand flowed through He Er's hands.

After He Er got the money, he used the money to buy soap, refined salt, sugar, etc. in the store opened by Zeng Yuanwai's family, so the money was recirculated to Zeng Yuanwai's hands, isn't this a complete cycle?

After that, after Zeng Yuanwai purchased the raw silk of He Er's family, he woven it into silk silk in his own workshop, and then sold it to Liang Shanjun.

When my Liangshan army sells soap, it does not accept banknotes, only gold, silver and copper coins; Likewise you will not be paid money when you buy your silk, but you will be paid in gold, silver, and bronze.

Moreover, in addition to buying silk, we also bought a large number of tea, porcelain, lacquerware, spices, etc., which means that we can pay you a steady stream of gold, silver and copper coins, which is also a complete cycle.

Therefore, if you do business with our Liang Shanjun, you will definitely not go bankrupt, and you will only harvest more and more gold, silver and copper coins. Well...... There is also the payment of money.

But even if the banknotes collapse in the future, all the banknotes in your hands will be smashed, but these banknotes are not issued by our Liang Shanjun. ”

Including Li Gu and Zeng Yuan, everyone was speechless again, and at the same time began to hate and envy Liang Shanjun.

It's still cool to be an anti-thief, pay the money and say you don't need it, you don't need it, the court can't do anything about him!

Unlike himself, the court came to him to buy all kinds of materials with the money, but he didn't dare not accept it!

People are so strange, they don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, and when everyone used to pay money, they didn't feel anything.

Now that Liang Shanjun announced that he didn't have to pay the money, unconsciously, everyone's dissatisfaction and resentment against the court deepened.

At this time, General Lu said again: "If you feel that you can't continue to do business with our Liangshan Army, we are not reluctant, and naturally there are other people who are willing to do business with us." ”

When Li Gu heard this, he hurriedly said: "We thought about it before, of course this business will continue, don't you say?" It's just that Liang Shanjun can really do the two points promised? ”

"This is nature, our Liangshan Army has always been true to his word and a promise. If you are not at ease, you can exchange as many gold, silver and copper coins as you can buy goods, and then exchange the gold, silver and copper coins in your hand into gold and silver immediately, and ensure that you do not suffer losses. ”

Li Guxin said, wouldn't it be that you have to pay two more points for the handling fee every time, and hurriedly said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, why don't you worry." ”

But the real idea in his heart was that in this way, Liang Shanjun would earn to death, and how many gold, silver and copper coins were in circulation, he would make almost four times more money for nothing!

It's so cool!
