As early as before the crossing, when they were studying the "Qingming Riverside Map", they found a pawn shop with a pawnshop sign. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Pawnshop, in the Great Song Dynasty, was by no means a shameful and obscene industry as it was in movies and television, but it was respected and valued.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the government further increased its efforts to promote the economy, and they needed pawnshops to play an auxiliary role as private banks.

Gaozong once issued an edict: Anyone who opens a pawn can be awarded the official title of court, be among the official versions, and be exempted from taxes and forced labor.

Since then, "Chaofeng" has become a respectful title for pawnbroking practitioners.

The status of the pawnbroking industry is so important. So much so that even the clothes are different from ordinary merchants.

"Tokyo Menghualu" recorded: "Chevalier farmers and industrialists have hundreds of households, and their clothes have their own colors...... The head of the quality bank is wearing soap shirts, horn belts, top hats, and the like. ”

Giving the pawnbroking industry such a high status has its own reasons.

In ancient China, the pawnbroking industry played the role of a bank for the poor.

Comparatively speaking, pawnshops serve more people from ordinary families. In modern parlance, the main business of a pawnshop is a small mortgage.

Generally, the collateral of peasants is mainly agricultural products, and the collateral of urban residents is mainly household goods such as gold and silver ornaments and clothes.

Therefore, this pawnbroking industry has a role in maintaining social stability, and can fully supplement some public functions of the government, so it can get more status than other industries.

The ancients were not stupid at all...... Their ruling class will never be bent on monopolizing business and killing the private enterprises of its own people to make a fortune on its own.

In the name they are also different from now, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the northerners called the pawnshop for the solution, and the southerners called the quality store.

Pledge depot can be said to be a very common business.

Especially in the bustling city of Lin'an, Kyoto, there are no less than dozens of large-scale quality warehouses, and the daily operating amount is no less than 50 million yuan.

Of course, Lin'an County will also have similar business sites.

Before the crossing, they had made relevant plans.

On the one hand, they are ready to use the goods they bring to pledge the cash of the Great Song Dynasty to the pledge warehouse, and then turn it into the high-quality resources of the Great Song Dynasty and resell it to the world there------

Think about it, how rich it will become, it's unimaginable, roar, everything is owed to us!

On the other hand, there will definitely be a so-called dead thing in the quality bank, and if you don't get it, you can still find good things!

Wang Defa was wearing a silk straight jacket, and his big sleeves looked like he was walking in the breeze.

He was followed by two servants.

Wu Dapeng pushed the wheelbarrow, Song Ziqiang put his coat on the slanted shoulder, and both of them were short clothes and straw sandals with cloth towels.

They walked in the crowd with their eyebrows crossed, what were they afraid of? Not a single uniformed ----- have yet been seen

Wang Defa knew in his heart that they were practicing in this county, and that Lin'an Mansion was the final decisive battle.

So they didn't bring out the good things, they only brought the ordinary things.

The shopkeeper showed them the way, and it was easy to find.

After passing through the vegetable market and cloth market, they swaggered to a place similar to a bank street.

There are four or five of them here, and the key is that there are antique shops, and that's the last important place they want to go, and we'll talk about that later.

They entered a better-looking storehouse.

In this warehouse, it is not what they thought in advance, there are long and tall counters, and the guys and the like sit on high stools in the back, and they will take advantage of this to look at the customers condescendingly, giving people a sense of oppression, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to drive down the price.

It's about forty square meters in size, and there are counters, but it's not tall or long, and it's about right.

There is also a moon gate on the opposite wall of the door, which is afraid that it is the inner room of this quality warehouse, and it looks very deep.

Maybe it's because I came too early in the morning, but there are only two guys here.

During this period, the service attitude of these "private banks" was really much better.

A guy entertained them, Wang Defa sat on the upper seat, and there was a bouquet of fiery red flowers on the coffee table, but unfortunately I didn't know what the name was.

Two of his servants also gave their seats, but approached the door.

Song Ziqiang tilted his head and stared at the ancient painting on the wall, but unfortunately he didn't know who painted it.

Wu Dapeng couldn't tell who painted it, but he felt that it was much better than any decorative painting he had seen before.

Out of the room of this warehouse came a courtier dressed in a soap shirt and horn belt, and he waved his hand at Wang Defa and asked, "This guest officer has invited ------?"

After he finished speaking, he swung his straight hem and sat down on the chair next to Wang Defa.

Wang Defa didn't hear what he said clearly, but he didn't care, so he used Hakka to say his purpose directly.

We are merchants from overseas, and we want to pledge some goods here, and we need a sum of money, so that's all.

As he spoke, the courtier took a serious look at the somewhat strange merchant, and saw that although he was also wearing ordinary clothes, he always felt awkward.

His voice is also a little weird, it seems to be the accent of Quang Nam East Road, and he can barely understand some of it.

Human physical behavior is the best way to convey information.

Wang Defa didn't talk nonsense, took out a small mirror directly from his sleeve pocket and gently put it on the coffee table.

Then I made a gesture and looked, how much can this cargo be pledged?

This is a nude mirror, and in order to save space and weight, the other parts were removed.

Decorative things, maybe the Song Dynasty people have more ways than them.

The courtier's fingernails were long, but flexible, and he took the small round mirror in his hand with a light touch.

He looked down and saw that he was in the mirror!

Then I turned it over and looked at it, but it was just the pink side, and there was nothing.

If you look at it again, you can't let it go!

The smugglers have studied the asking price of their goods beforehand.

For example, this mirror, they refer to the price of this space-time bronze mirror, this bronze mirror is only related to weight and workmanship, the value of ordinary people is about five times, and even they estimate the number of the general liquidity of this space-time quality bank, plus Huizi, the ordinary quality library is almost 2,000 to 3,000 per day.

They set a number, a thousand! If it's all given to the meeting, it will cost 8,000 times!

This price is the total value of the property of ordinary urban households in the Southern Song Dynasty, and if they want to borrow such commodities to start a business, of course, they must consider many factors, and it is impossible to kill them with a stick, and they must have follow-up means.

The courtier was so excited that he was shaking his beard a little.

"This --- this ------"

Wang Defa sighed in his heart and said, are you calm and calm? ! Did you see something good?! You know you can make a lot of money, right?!

Wang Defa continued at this time: "I only want to die, and there are a few more sides, I don't know if you can ------pledge all of them."

The courtier jumped up and said, "Merchants, please come into the inner room to talk------

Wang Defa glanced at Wu Dapeng, and said in his eyes: "Look, it's easy!" ”

Wu Dapeng made an "ok" gesture, and the two smiled.

In the end, they pledged five small mirrors.

Of course, the name of the small mirror cannot be called that, it should be the Dongshan Yuchi crystal mirror, which needs to be carefully ground, so it produces very little.

In particular, the Dongshan Jade Pond is far away from thousands of miles overseas, and it takes several years along the way, not to mention, there are countless sea monsters and gales, and you need to fight to the death when you sail before you can transport it.

In the end, they got 1,500 yuan of copper coins and more than 40,000 yuan of huizi, and the pledge bank probably took out all the working capital and savings.

They carried their blankets and pushed their wheelbarrows back to the store, and there was no accident, both cars were loaded with cash.

Their cart was loaded with two large bamboo baskets, and two large bamboo baskets contained copper coins, although many of these copper coins were in the face value of three to five to ten, but they still came back and transported them twice, which was the result of dispatching two wheelbarrows.

Wang Defa thought to himself, in the play "Fifteen Runs", a scholar walked around with fifteen copper coins on his back, could he be all ten?

If not, the money will always cost four kilograms, and sixty kilograms will not be able to carry it.

After returning to Didian, they were really happy, and success was so easy!

But they all quickly calmed down and had to think about the implications.

They were happy in their hearts, they could deceive the Song Dynasty fools so easily, and in the future, they could transport Duoduo at any time to this Dongshan Yuchi Crystal Mirror!

Of course, they don't know it now, after the Song Dynasty that they thought was stupid enough to accept the death, they rushed to Lin'an Mansion overnight, and the treasure street there casually sold the five Dongshan Yuchi crystal mirrors on four sides!

And the price makes these people who think others are stupid so angry that they vomit blood......

Then they opened the pledge warehouse on the famous bank street in Lin'an City------ and later, when they met on this bank street, everyone sighed.

That's all for later, of course.

Now, everyone is rich, and you have to think about how to do it. It must be a fool to bring copper money back, in the world over there, this is afraid that it will be sold by catties.

As for Huizi, although there is no such thing in the world on that side, it is not cost-effective.

Song Ziqiang muttered and said: "Look, I'll just say that you don't know how to study operations, how good it is to order the goods directly at that treasure shop at that time, and then pledge it, why bother to transport the money for this trip?!" ”

Wu Dapeng said: "Shut up, who can think so carefully, or you come to make a plan, we will listen to you!" ”

Song Ziqiang stopped talking, he only cared about the consequences.

Six overseas businessmen became wealthy, and the news spread quickly in Lin'an County, and no matter what time and space, the wind of gossip still exists.

In the evening, the Yalang came, and he did find the house, but he secretly quadrupled the agent fee immediately.

This guy didn't know the market at the time, and he happily paid the fee.

Later, after a long time, they also lived here for a long time, and they knew that the tooth man had secretly calculated against them.

Except for Song Ziqiang, he didn't care about this little thing, but Song Ziqiang couldn't swallow this breath, he said: "Money is a trivial matter, and I can't stand the breath of being blackmailed all the time!" ”

He found the tooth, tugged at his clothes, and asked for half of the money back!

Where did that Yalang dare to talk more, at that time, Song Dalang and Song Ziqiang were already the tyrants of the county.

Of course, that's all for later.
