Chapter 17: The Festive Little Fat Man
"Liu Wuluo wants to buy words from me?"
After introducing each other, Lin Chong listened for a while before he understood that this product stopped him, and he just wanted to ask himself to buy a good song that he could get his hands on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Weixiong said with a serious face: "Yes, but it can't be scolding, it's better than the song "Fixing the Storm". ”
Lin Chong smiled, thinking that this product was very cute, and although he didn't have any background, he was also a powerful man, which met his goal of cooperation, but could he agree to him like this?
Naturally, no!
"Liu Wu handed it over slightly, Lin Chong was very grateful and frightened, he originally thought that he would not allow it, but there was no more." Lin Chong said with a sad face.
"What's missing?"
"It's that Taoist priest Su Dongpo who has only chanted twice."
Liu Weixiong was a little anxious and said: "I know this, I want you to write a song for me." ”
Lin Chong smiled bitterly: "How can I write this?" ”
"Why can't you write it, didn't you just think about it for a while, and then made a song "Crab Song"? I think your poetry is much better than those talents. ”
Gu Pengzhen and the others looked resentful, and silently drew villains in their hearts to curse the two......
At the same time, I was secretly thinking in my heart, it was just a sudden inspiration after walking shit luck, and now the poem is finished, and the two words of the Taoist priest have been used up, and I can't do it again in the future!
And this guy doesn't look like a poet at first glance, and the words written are at the level of Mengtong......
"I can't really make it, speaking of which, Lin Chong has only skimmed the book for a few days and knows a few words, where can he compare to those talents who have read the books of sages for more than ten years."
Lin Chong was still prevaricating, and his mouth was extremely modest, but the eyes of the scribes behind Liu Weixiong with a disdainful look betrayed his heart.
"Brother Lin is too modest, if you want me to say that even if you only skim a few days, you are better than these talents, don't you know, every time they compose a poem, they always have to think about it for a long time......"
Sure enough, Liu Xiongwei, who was upright, immediately made up for it very cooperatively, and Gu Pengzhen and the others were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Lin Chong and Huan Yiqiang couldn't hold back their laughter, but they saw Liu Weixiong take out a large stack of handover notes from his waist, and he slapped Lin Chong's hand without counting half of the count: "That's it, you think about it for the past two days, and make me a good song, this is a deposit." ”
Lin Chong took a general look, they are all the largest denomination banknotes, and they are all newly issued banknotes, this superposition together is not to mention the face value of four or five hundred yuan, this is just a deposit, Lao Tzu is going to send it.
Lin Chong held back the joy in his heart, and pretended to pretend to prevaricate twice, then gritted his teeth with a bitter face and promised to make a poem within three days, but he didn't dare to guarantee it, Liu Weixiong said that it must be good, the two sides exchanged addresses, Lin Chong said goodbye, and walked out of the alum building.
"I've made a fortune, five hundred and fifty yuan in banknotes, what is the current price of banknotes?"
Huan Yi thought for a while and said, "This is a new banknote, and it is roughly the same as paying 700 yuan." ”
Lin Chong calculated, that is, it can be used as copper money for 385 yuan, and after three days, he will write Su Dongpo's words casually and send it over, at least 400 yuan, plus the money earned from selling flower water, 1,000 yuan can be easily completed in ten days.
It's just that this product is given to pay money, and you can't keep it in your hands, so you have to use it out as soon as possible.
The earliest paper money in China first appeared in Sichuan, where there was a shortage of copper coins and could only use a large number of iron coins, so there were 16 wealthy households to jointly raise funds to print and issue Jiaozi, but only circulated and used among merchants near the CD.
After the bankruptcy of the civil Jiaozi, the imperial court set up Jiaozi in Sichuan, Jiaozi was changed to the government, prohibiting private manufacturing, and the issuance of Jiaozi began to slowly spread in the whole Song Dynasty, and has been used to this day, although later Zhao Ji changed "Jiaozi Affairs" to "Qian Yin", and Jiaozi was also renamed "Qian Yin", but the people also called it Jiaozi.
The biggest feature of the Song Dynasty banknotes is the time limit, the land, generally two years as a boundary, the denomination is usually consistent, five, ten, Zhao Ji when the emperor has a denomination of fifty times, not only limited circulation area, and when the time comes, the old banknotes can not be used, must be exchanged for new banknotes to use.
At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty was still relatively cautious and restrained in the issuance of banknotes, and the supervision was not bad, and the banknotes were quite reputable at that time.
However, since Zhao Ji became the emperor, he reused Cai Jing to help him manage his finances and make money, and the number of banknotes issued has become more and more, and there is no reserve for the issuance of banknotes, and banknotes are printed out of thin air, so the reputation of banknotes is not as good as day by day.
First of all, the banknotes depreciate as soon as they are issued, and they depreciate almost every day, and they may always pay 700 wen today, 690 wen tomorrow, and 685 wen the day after tomorrow...... In the end, it is even less valuable, because every time a new note is issued, the court will always stipulate that the new banknote will be exchanged for the old banknote by a one-to-several ratio.
For example, the ratio of new banknotes to old banknotes is one to five, and the new banknotes can only be discounted by six or seven percent according to the face value, and then in this way, the old banknotes are only worth more than one percent of the face value, and the people's money is greatly depreciated, but the Song Dynasty court can take advantage of this to plunder the wealth of the people.
Cai Jing is also very favored because he can help Zhao Ji with money because of this method, even if he has been impeached several times because of his arrogance and lasciviousness, he will soon be reactivated, just because others are not as shameless as him, and he will be so desperate to make money.
But this is undoubtedly to quench thirst, the infinite indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, and finally completely lost its credibility in the end, before the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty banknotes in the original history, it evolved into a rapid depreciation as soon as it was issued, and the consistent (1,000 Wen) banknotes can only be used as more than a dozen Wen, do you dare to believe it?
Lin Chong couldn't help but think that in the original history, if there was no sudden rise of the Jurchens, the Song Dynasty might have died a little faster.
Because of the presence of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who was arrogant and lascivious, and the absurdity of the emperor, and the presence of traitorous ministers such as Cai Jingtong, Gao Yu, and Zhu Mian, how could they not provoke a large-scale revolt among the people by plundering the wealth of the people in such a blatant and frenzied manner?
Moreover, the redundant officials and redundant soldiers have reached the point of no return, and will continue to deteriorate, the people have long been unbearable, and when the economy collapses completely, the 800,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty are rotten to the bones again, and the people below revolt everywhere, and the beacons are everywhere, how can the Song Dynasty not be finished immediately?
On the contrary, as soon as the Jurchen soldiers came, they broke through Bianjing and kidnapped a large number of powerful people in Huiqin Erzong and Bianjing, but they solved the tumor of the Dumen Forbidden Army at once, and the problem of redundant officials was also alleviated, and the economy that had almost collapsed was revitalized.
Then an army with combat effectiveness such as Yue Feiyue's family army emerged, which quelled the rebellion in the territory by force, and finally seriously injured the female Allah force, greatly weakening the armed forces of the Jin State, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could be blessed and settled by misfortune.
Lin Chong couldn't help but sigh, he just felt that it was not worth it, and his mood suddenly became a little emotional, until after returning home, Lu Jiang, who was full of joy, greeted him.
"Big brother, it's sold!"
Seeing that Lu Jiang was excited, Lin Chong nodded and said calmly: "Well, how much did you sell?" ”
General Lu hurriedly stretched out a finger, Lin Chongxin said, Isn't it enough to sell ten more times together, as for being so excited?
"A hundred times, it's good."
"No, it's a hundred per bottle!"
Seeing that Lin Chong had misunderstood what he meant, General Lu stomped his feet excitedly.
it!
Lin Chong was also excited, you must know that one hundred guan is fifty taels of silver, ten taels of gold, and the purchasing power is almost equal to 30,000 soft sister coins in later generations, and at this time, the price of grain in the Great Song Dynasty did not rise as wildly as in the later period of Song Huizong, and it remained at a price of about 900 wen per stone.
In other words, a small bottle of flower water sold by Lu Jiang is equivalent to 110 stone of grain, which is more than 12,000 catties in the future.
This Bianjing City is really a huge deformed consumer city that has been piled up for the whole country, consumption is high, and there are many rich people!
"Tell me quickly, why did it sell so high?"
General Lu told the process, it turned out that he first went to find a tooth man who seemed to be both shrewd and reliable, and the two of them entered a rouge shop called Champs one after another, and the tooth man took out three bottles of flower water to sell, and the price was thirty yuan each.
The shopkeeper said that he dared to sell something so expensive, and the tooth man talked about the various benefits of flower water, and the shopkeeper naturally did not believe it, so he argued loudly, so he attracted the attention of two noble ladies who came to buy rouge gouache with their husbands.
Then the two ladies had to buy them all, and they didn't give in to each other, and finally the shopkeeper stood up and said that the tooth man was going to sell them to their store, so he bought all the bottles for one hundred and twenty yuan, and then sold one bottle to the two noble ladies for one hundred and twenty yuan, and kept one bottle in his own store, and asked the tooth man to sell it to their store when he had the goods.
Lin Chong was very happy and asked, "You weren't discovered, were you?" ”
"Nope."
"How much commission did you give to the tooth man?"
Lu Jiang said: "At first, I promised to give him a commission of five cents, that is, four and five hundred wen together, and then the sale was high, so I gave five taels of silver together." ”
Lin Chong nodded: "Well done, you tell him that for every bottle sold in the future, you will give him a commission of two taels of silver plus one cent of the selling price, as long as he is reliable and has a strict mouth." ”
So Lin Chong, who had spent almost all the money in the family in order to make the first batch of toilet water, became angry, went in to drink tea for a while, rested for a while, and Lu Jianghuanyi and Lu Jianghuanyi each carried one hundred and fifty yuan in their pockets, and went out very much, and began to purchase various raw materials in large quantities, and at the same time asked the blacksmith and carpenter to build another set of distillation utensils.
At the same time, the two thirteen-year-old maids named Jin Chu'er and Yu Chu'er also smeared a little diluted Jinliang Flower Dew on their bodies, and Qingliang Liang Liang came to the street where the rouge gouache shop gathered, and asked from door to door: "Shopkeeper, do you have flower dew water to sell here?" ”
So it wasn't long before the toilet water became popular.
At the same time, with what happened in the alum tower that day, as well as the poems and songs of "Crab Song", "Wangjiangnan", and "Bead Curtain", Lin Chong also became famous after the spread of these Oiran girls.
And because of the ethereal, melodious, tactful, and beautiful song, and it meticulously describes a versatile and amorous woman's love for her lover, the sentimentality and loneliness of waiting for her lover day and night "Bead Curtain" actually resonated with these sentimental Qinglou women.
As a result, the rumors about Lin Chong and the influence of this song have set off more and more continuous waves, and with the deepening of time, they have continued to expand.
