The Royal Department Store has only been open for less than seven days, and it has already caused public resentment in both places.

Why?

The reason is very simple, since it is called the Royal Department Store, why only do the business of the soldiers of the forbidden army, but not the business of ordinary people?

As for the fact that the opening of this chain of Royal Department Stores has affected the business of a large number of small traders and hawkers, not much attention has been paid to it.

However, Cai Dao still asked all the royal department stores to adhere to this rule for a month.

A month later, the restrictions were finally relaxed, but the people who entered the Royal Department Store to buy things found a new unsolvable problem, and the copper coins in their hands could not be settled here.

The Royal Department Store only collects silver coins, not copper coins, and as for change, the Royal Department Store can give the people a new kind of copper coins - Tianyou Tongbao.

The copper content of this new copper coin is somewhat worse than that of the previous copper coin, but the quality and strength have not changed. The words on it are also clear.

"Shopkeeper, what is this silver coin, and where can I exchange it?" This is the most asked sentence by the common people who enter the Royal Department Store.

These shopkeepers gave a standard and unified answer: "The silver coin is a new currency issued by the three envoys this year, there is only one, see no, this is this kind of silver coin, it is called the Qilin silver coin, which is engraved with the Great Song Empire, half a tael, and a unicorn picture." One silver coin is worth five hundred coins.

By the way, I forgot to tell you. There was also a notice issued by the three envoys themselves.

I'll give it a thought to the big guys.

First, all the people who are naturalized in Bianliang City (Luoyang Mansion) can take their household registration certificate and tax payment certificate, and they can get a silver coin of this kind for free at the official office of the third envoy. No matter how many strong men there are in a family, they can only receive one silver coin.

Second, from February 1, all the people can use the copper coins in their hands to go to the Yamen of the Three Divisions to exchange this kind of silver coin.

Third, the specific exchange ratio.

In February, the exchange ratio was that a unicorn silver coin was exchanged for 480 copper coins minted in the past of the Great Song Dynasty, 490 miscellaneous coins from the previous dynasty, and 500 Tianyou Tongbao.

Please note that this exchange rate is subject to change from month to month.

The exchange ratio in March is that a unicorn silver coin is exchanged for 481 copper coins minted in the past of the Great Song Dynasty, and 491 miscellaneous coins of the previous dynasty, and the exchange ratio of Tianyou Tongbao remains unchanged.

At the same time, Cai Dao also pasted this Gao family on the announcement wall in front of the yamen of the three envoys, which was also a pioneering act of Cai Dao after serving as the third envoy.

After the news spread, everyone was waiting and watching.

At the beginning, there were many people who went to receive free unicorn silver coins, but there were not many people who actually exchanged the copper coins at home.

Even, in the next few days, the county offices in the Gyeonggi region and Luoyang Prefecture became busy, and these people actually came to handle the separation. In principle, a strong man can become a family independently, but the Chinese people attach great importance to the family, so in the past, even if there are several strong men in the family, many families are unwilling to separate.

Now, just to receive a free silver coin has disintegrated countless small families in the city. This also shows that the business thinking and business atmosphere of urban residents in the Great Song Dynasty have been very strong.

It's not that no one came to exchange the Kirin Silver Coins, and there were quite a few people who came. However, most of the people who came to exchange were mid- and low-ranking officers in the forbidden army.

As for most of the ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army and some ordinary people, they wanted to exchange it, but the problem was that most of them really couldn't get the nearly 500 copper coins in their hands.

In order to expand the influence of the Qilin silver coin, Cai Dao also sent the subordinates of the three envoys to the surrounding areas of the Gyeonggi region and the vicinity of Luoyang Province, and went down to the countryside to spread this notice to every peasant.

Moreover, Cai Dao is still secretly giving ideas to those people and forbidden soldiers who want to exchange Qilin silver coins, if one person can't make up five hundred dollars, then a few more people, everyone will make it together, and then take the silver coins to go shopping in the Royal Department Store together, isn't this solved?

Of course, this is all a small fight, and the number of people who exchange Qilin silver coins is very small for Bianliang City and Luoyang Mansion.

The presence of two people broke the deadlock.

These two people are naturally Cai Dao's friends, and Ding Ding, a huge rich man in the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, has talent and money.

Ding Youcai came in a group,

On the one hand, he has confidence in Cai Dao, not to mention, most of the wealth he has accumulated now is actually obtained by Cai Dao, anyway, he thinks so himself.

On the other hand, the Kirin Silver Coin actually has a very good advantage - for transactions between merchants, it is convenient and fast to use silver coins.

If, pulling several carts of copper coins to trade with people, if they are all in the city, it is still easy to do, but what merchant does not go south and north to seek profits, and will also carry gold and silver on his body, with this kind of official silver coin, wouldn't it be more convenient?

Ding Youcai believes that with these two reasons, even if they lose a little when they exchange, it will not hurt their wealth. What's more, he also understands Cai Dao, when the time comes, this kind of currency will definitely be recognized by the official, and they businessmen can use this currency to pay taxes.

Money actually came earlier than Ding Youcai, but he didn't dare to go to Bianliang City, but came to Luoyang Mansion. He thought he was doing something hidden, and he didn't know that even if Cai Dao didn't care too much about his heart, but with this kind of behavior, Cai Dao had so many secret agents who had already reported this matter to him. Since he didn't have much faith in the silver unicorn coin, he also chose to do the same thing as other families in the two places - hold on and wait and see.

Unexpectedly, Cai Dao directly gave those who were watching from the wall a ruthless blow.

After Ding Youcai and the merchants he brought in finished exchanging, the three envoys announced that they would no longer accept the exchange business of large sums of Qilin coins from now on.

In the future, only one exchange business of no more than 10 million unicorn silver coins will be accepted every month.

After learning this news, Qian immediately regretted it, because he learned two hidden things from it.

First, the exchange of Kirin silver coins will increase by one penny every month.

If it stops now, it means that every time he exchanges a Qilin silver coin, his money will already be less than Ding Youcai and the fellows who came with him.

Money will ensure that you will be able to get the right to exchange for next month, that is, the quota for a large amount of exchange for Kirin Silver Coins in March.
