Chapter 291: Financial Innovation
Bianjing has a population of one million, and tens of thousands of people get married every year, and if you count the rich families, it is almost the same to sell 100,000 bronze mirrors a year, no matter what, in three days, you will sell almost 100,000 noodles, and fools know that there is a problem.

The Imperial City Division is not a dry meal, and it is related to the solution of the money shortage, how can Zhao Zhen not care. Since the beginning of suppressing the price of copper, 180,000 copper mirrors have been sold, not to mention the copper mirrors of Bianjing Qian Jian have been exhausted, and the inventory transported from Raozhou has also been rapidly consumed.
"I want to know!"
Zhao Zhen looked very angry, like a raging lion, and roared loudly: "Who is it, who is fighting against my national policy!?" β
Wang Ningan bowed down and stood in front of Zhao Zhen, he was ready to be scolded, who knew that as soon as Zhao Zhen came up, he pointed directly at the black hand behind him, Wang Ning'an was overjoyed.
This is not an accident, Zhao Zhen is not stupid, and the bronze mirror can't eat or drink, what's the use of hoarding so much? What's more, a few days ago, he commended Wang Ningan for his merit in solving the money shortage, but after a few days of hard work, some people frantically bought bronze mirrors, making it clear that they couldn't get along with him.
It's not bullying Wang Ningan, it's slapping him in the face of Zhao Zhen!
"Unscrupulous, some unscrupulous!"
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Wang Qing, your selling strategy has worked, and now there are people who are against me, and they want to see my jokes." What I have done as a genius is really a failure, and anyone dares to climb on my neck. In the past, they made a lot of money, but they didn't know how to stop, and they repeatedly provoked, I will never be polite! β
It is said that when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and blood flows thousands of miles.
Although Zhao Zhen was a little faced, he was really angry, it was definitely a bleak wind and rain, the wind was gusting, and the vertical arch hall had dropped several degrees, and Wang Ningan shivered. He was not frightened, but happy.
About four or five months ago, the Wang family's workshop developed a glass mirror.
Originally, he wanted to sell it as a luxury item, but Wang Ningan kept it strictly secret at home, and got the workshop to Changsheng Island, where he was waiting for the right time to throw out the glass mirror and make a lot of money.
But when he began to snipe at the price of copper, Wang Ningan suddenly thought that the role of the glass mirror is definitely not just to make money!
When new materials appear, old things are obsolete.
The end of the Stone Age was not because the stone was gone, but because bronze appeared, and the end of the Bronze Age was not because the copper was gone, but because iron appeared!
By analogy, as long as the glass mirror comes out, the importance of copper will inevitably plummet and withdraw from daily life...... Subversive upheaval will definitely cause a major reshuffle.
β¦β¦
Don't look at Wang Ning'an looking a little weak in front of the old lady, that's what he did on purpose, you can't show your skills everywhere in front of your elders.
Besides, if you can do anything, do you need anyone else! With the old lady's temperament, if she hadn't seen the big risk, would she not hesitate to intervene?
Do you want to ask the old lady to share more and not pretend to be cowardly?
If you let the Bai family know your son's dirty thoughts, you have to beat this kid's ass to pieces, bastard, even your mother will dare to calculate!
In front of Zhao Zhen, Wang Ningan could not show weakness, on the contrary, he was full of confidence, "Your Majesty, to the point, Weichen recently checked the account books of various money supervisors and found a lot of drawbacks, most of the problems are concentrated in the purchase of copper materials, and the outflow of this piece every year is as much as 2 million!" β
"So many?" Zhao Zhen asked in surprise.
"Not only that, but the profits of the bronze ware are also deducted, so according to the minister's estimate, every year from the minting of money, there are seven or eight million pieces of wealth lost, or even tens of millions, and this money originally belonged to His Majesty and the imperial court."
Syllable!
Zhao Zhen slapped the table hard, shaking his arm numb, he gritted his teeth, and was furious.
"Big rats, big rats, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty were harmed by these big rats, and my money was also greedy for them!"
Zhao Zhen roared angrily: "I immediately ordered the Imperial City Division, whoever dares to hoard the bronze mirror and go against the will of the imperial court will be arrested immediately and severely punished." β
"Don't!" Wang Ning'an forgot the courtesy of the monarch and the minister in a hurry, and stopped: "Don't send troops." β
"Why? Wang Qing also wants to mention these thieves and rats to intercede? β
"No, no, no......" Wang Ningan said: "Your Majesty, ordering the arrest at this time will only cause panic, and the copper price will rebound immediately." And according to the minister's estimate, all that can be caught are some small fish and shrimp, or it won't be long before they will relapse, which is really not cost-effective. β
Zhao Zhen inhaled hard and smiled bitterly.
But no, if his holy decree worked so well, the Great Song Dynasty would not have been like this, how many years, for the so-called harmony, the overall situation is important, so that the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the awe is gone, and it is too difficult to find it again......
"Wang Qing, as far as I know, the bronze mirror in your hand is only a few hundred thousand, as long as you invest one million, you can easily buy it, when the copper price rises, the money supervisor can not continue, and you have signed a contract with the political hall, if you can't pay enough coinage, the Royal Bank will have an accident."
is worthy of being the king of a country, and he can see the problem clearly.
The copper mines of Jiaozhi and Dali continue to be transported to the Great Song Dynasty, and the decline in copper prices is an inevitable trend, and the question is who should grasp this general trend!
If the Royal Bank wins, then Zhao Zhen will be equal to holding the financial power, and he can compete with the three divisions of the Political Affairs Hall, and with the bank containment, the imbalance of the court will be corrected.
What national policy Zhao Zhen wants to promote, the obstacle is much smaller.
On the contrary, if the Royal Bank fails, the entire coinage power will return to the hands of the scholars, and with their greedy style over the years, they will be even more crazy to knock the bone and squeeze the benefits dry, and when the time comes, they will not be able to find weapons to fight back.
Zhao Zhen's sober and calm made Wang Ningan very pleased, he wanted to fight with those people, the most important thing was to have a stable backyard, at least the emperor could not shake left and right, otherwise he would be miserable.
After taking the reassuring pill, Wang Ningan said confidently: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will definitely have a way to stabilize the price of copper, and the minister can let them pay a clean one." β
"Really?"
"The minister is willing to make a military order!"
Zhao Zhen nodded with relief, "Wang Qing, over the years, you have done a lot of things for me, and you have always been beautiful, and I believe in you this time!" In this way, in order to help you do things, I will send Yang Huaiyu to you, and then transfer 500 people from the front of the palace and the imperial city division to your command, and you must fight this battle well! β
Zhao Zhen blocked the dignity of the emperor and supported it vigorously.
Wang Ningan came out of the palace and immediately promulgated stricter sales restrictions, the price of the copper mirror remains the same, but if you want to buy a copper mirror, you must explain the purpose, and take out the identity certificate, each person is allowed to buy only one copper mirror within ten days, more than one, you need to make an appointment in advance to apply......
Wang Ningan's move was still very effective, and the sales volume of the bronze mirror suddenly pressed to 5,000, which was eighty percent less than the previous peak.
Everyone finally took a breather, but unexpectedly, this situation lasted for two days, and the sales of copper mirrors exceeded 10,000.
And not only copper mirrors, but other bronze utensils, such as copper basins, copper musical instruments, ornaments, furniture, ornaments...... All in all, everything with copper has risen wildly, and it is completely sweeping, and it has reached the point where it is swept away regardless of price or condition, as long as it is copper.
Countless people sprang up from everywhere, and the Royal Bank sprung up, forming a long queue, like crazy, to buy copperware.
If it weren't for the people of the palace front office, they would have broken through the door of the Royal Bank.
Yang Huaiyu pressed the handle of the knife, sweating profusely, dealing with the crowd of panic buyers, it was even more tiring than fighting!
"We're going to buy a bronze mirror, let us in."
"Is there no bronze mirror in the bank?"
"You lie and deceive!"
β¦β¦
Yang Huaiyu can only let everyone calm down, but look at this posture, where to calm down.
Mess him around. At this time, Wang Ningan walked out of the bank with Han Wei and Wang Anguo. When Yang Huaiyu saw it, he hurriedly said: "Oh, you can figure it out, I can't stop it." β
Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'll deal with it." β
asked someone to make a table, Wang Ningan jumped on it, took a tin roll and a horn, and used it as a megaphone.
"Folks, don't worry, you want to buy copperware, as long as it is for normal use, there will be no delay, let alone out of stock!" Wang Ningan said again: "But everyone is also a reasonable person, the bronze mirror is not said to be made, you have so many people, you want so many people, at least give some processing and allocation time, don't you say?" β
"It's not!"
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, "Now that the copper mirror is so cheap, what if you don't buy it quickly, what if the price rises in a few days?" β
The rest of the people also shouted, "Yes, yes, are you planning to raise the price and make a lot of money?" β
The crowd was talking and talking, and their heads were about to explode.
Wang Ning'an finally appeased the big guy, "Everyone, please listen to me, the price of bronze will never increase, this is the Royal Bank, it was built by His Majesty's order, and His Majesty will not harm his own people." β
Not to mention, Zhao Zhen has been diligent and loves the people for decades, and has a good reputation, which really suppressed the people.
But someone shouted again: "We believe in Your Majesty, but we don't believe in you!" β
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, see if you don't." Wang Ningan took out a piece of paper and held it high, "This is a bill issued by the Royal Bank, with the name and specifications of the bronze on it, and the delivery time also marked. Take the bronze mirror as an example, two money on one side, you pay the money now, get a bill back, at the appointed time, come to the bank to pick up the goods, if there is a little mistake, just go to the yamen to complain, we are all courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, dare to joke with His Majesty's reputation? β
"Will the price go up then?"
"No, today is two dollars, and when it comes to delivery, no matter how expensive the copper mirror is, we will still give you the copper mirror, and we won't ask for one more copper!"
Wang Ningan pulled his throat and explained five times, and someone in the crowd finally loosened, they went to the faΓ§ade next to them, handed over the money, and exchanged for a brand new bill, and the squeeze frenzy was finally temporarily alleviated.
