Chapter 621: Waiting

"Nine hundred and fifty?" As soon as Wang Dengku arrived at Qianzhuang in the morning, he confirmed the news he got last night, and he was immediately stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He Yusheng's money has also been seen, the quality is indeed good, the weight is full, and it is definitely not under Jiajing Jin's money. Generally, this quality of copper money is not only high price, but also many times the price is high and rare, people use money, people are not forced to use those bad money and small money, but like to use gold back money, there are many times, a good copper money to buy items is much higher than ordinary copper money, people would rather accept a gold back money, do not want to accept three or five inferior money.

One to eight hundred is the most suitable price, and when Yu rises to nine hundred, there is a feeling of price war, and when it comes to nine hundred and fifty, the meaning of suppressing Jin Shang Qian Zhuang is very obvious.

After dawn, there were many idlers standing at the door of the two banks, and even many serious businessmen, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of the small and medium-sized commercial houses also gave up their busy business and went to the two banks to watch the battle.

Of course, they can't stand at the corner of the street with their sleeves crossed like idlers, and it just so happens that there is a restaurant between the two banks, so the private room above the second floor is announced to be finished in the morning.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant smiled toothlessly, there was such a thing that made people feel refreshed, and their own business was very good, which made people feel better.

"Proprietor Qin, proprietor Ma, proprietor Wang, shopkeeper Fan, and this gentleman, the second floor is already full ......"

When Fan Yongming heard this, he said with a displeased expression: "The shopkeeper wants the silver and says directly, and we will give it." ”

"It's full, indeed." The hotel shopkeeper said with an embarrassed face: "If you proprietors and shopkeepers want to go upstairs, then you can only add seats and crowd with others." ”

When Fan Yongming heard this, he had to look at Wang Datong and the others.

Wang Datong came to this restaurant with several friends, as well as this special person, to see this rare event for many years.

Between the Jin merchants, there is no lack of open and secret fighting, and even all kinds of bad moves, and Xiang and Yusheng first took the lead step by step, constantly suppressing the Jin merchants with commercial means, forcing the businessmen of all parties to stand in line, and finally launched a decisive battle against the Jin merchants in the matter of the money village, and the seven Jin merchants knew that they had to fight, and this kind of skill was also admirable.

Everyone climbed the stairs upstairs, sure enough, the upstairs was already full of pits, and there was no empty table, fortunately, they were all familiar with each other at least and knew the names of the business firms, it seems that the hotel shopkeeper is still counted, this second floor is not to give money to go up, but also a certain status to cooperate.

Zhangjiakou here is also worthy of being the most important commercial center in the north of the Ming Dynasty, not only because of the horse market and prosperous, after all, it is an important node to go to Beijing, Xuanda and Shaanxi, the north of the north of the province, and even as far as Henan, the merchants of Shandong have merchants who have business here, the horse market is closed, the most affected is the trading houses that sell furs and cattle and sheep, and the rest of the trading houses will more or less be supplemented from other channels, so Zhangjiakou is not only prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, but also prosperous until the Qing Dynasty, but the port was opened in the late Qing Dynasty, The speed of development in the south far exceeded that of the north, and when the Jin merchants declined, Zhangjiakou naturally declined.

Because of the extraordinary prosperity, there are of course a lot of big businessmen, many businessmen are family-run, even from other places to Zhangjiakou, after several generations to gain a foothold, such as the Fan family is Shanxi Jiexiu, in Zhangjiakou has been operating for several generations, Wang Datong is a native of Baoding Mansion, Hebei, but also in Zhangjiakou for several generations.

Most of the businessmen here are proprietors with a net worth of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or big shopkeepers with status, if Fan Yongming comes alone, I am afraid that he is not qualified to go to this floor, once the children of the Fan family were first-class businessmen in Zhangjiakou, and at this time they had to rely on Wang Datongcai to come up, Fan Yongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After everyone had said hello, the hotel shopkeeper came over to confess his guilt, and added a few stools to a large round table where three or four people were seated, and sat down for Fan Yongming, Wang Datong and others.

There are also small snacks such as tea and melon seeds on the table, everyone basks in the sun, feels the spring sun, eats melon seeds and looks at the movement at the door of the two money villages, and does not feel that there is a sense of freedom to watch the fight in the clouds, even if the good show of the money village is also related to their own family, but before the winner is decided, everyone just needs to watch the excitement.

"I don't know what the proprietor of Wang Dengku will do today?"

As soon as they sat down, they heard people's discussions, and Wang Datong and others also smiled.

This is also everyone's question, after all, He Yusheng made a move, Wang Dengku and others responded, and then people made another move, although it was just a matter of copper money concessions, one came and one returned, and the obstacles were really big.

An old Cheng shopkeeper said: "I know if I calculate the copper book, the gold back money of the imperial court is eight taels and eight coins per thousand Wen, and the copper price is one tael of silver and one catty, and the court is now 400,000 taels of silver The copper money of one thousand Wen weighs four taels and eight dollars, and four hundred thousand taels can be sold for nine hundred thousand, not counting artificial or anything, it can net five hundred thousand taels, and Yusheng's copper coin is no different from the previous gold back money of eight taels and eight eight dollars and one thousand Wen, and eight hundred Wen means that you can earn about 25,000 taels by investing in 100,000 taels, because it still costs to mint money, If they let 900 Wen, they would already earn less than 20,000 yuan, and yesterday they had already made 950 Wen, and the profit of investing 100,000 taels was only a few thousand. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Wang Datong praised: "It is worthy of being the old shopkeeper of Qian, who has worked in Qianzhuang all his life, and this kind of thing is very clear." ”

Fan Yongming was slightly embarrassed, he couldn't help but think about his strengths, thinking about it, it seemed that there was really nothing surprising, he secretly decided that he would have to put more thought into all kinds of things in the future.

There is another person here: "If the money village here makes more profits than He Yusheng, it will be no income or exit, and there will be no profit at all." ”

Ma Chaowen, who followed Wang Datong upstairs, said: "As far as I know, Wang Dengku and several other proprietors have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this money village, and the main business is still lending, and the profit is very large, but the scale of the money exchange is not small. ”

Money and silver are big deals, in the important place of the private capital is difficult to control, the local vassal and gentry will intervene, especially in the commercial prosperity of the place, silver or money is the most important part of the local economic lifeline, like Zhangjiakou seven Jin merchants together to open this money bank, involving a wide range of local businesses, and Yusheng seized the opportunity, hoping to at least hit the other party in reputation, it is indeed the most critical point.

Ma Chaowen said again: "Although He Yusheng has a big family, the seven proprietors here are also wealthy, to be honest, I am still optimistic about this side." ”

After that, he looked at Ma Superman beside him and smiled: "Big brother, forgive me for being arrogant." ”

Ma Chaoren this time is also Zhang Han personally instructed, with the identity of the company's director to Zhangjiakou to persuade the local businessmen, his cousin has actually been out of the five suits early, just the same ancestor hall number, Ma Chaowen's great-grandfather is from Tianchengwei to Zhangjiakou business, here has been several generations, the tree has deep roots, if the gap is opened from here, the future can get twice the result with half the effort. It's a pity that Ma Chaowen, like most of the Jin merchants in the city, although he knew that he and Yusheng's family had a big business, but before that, he Yusheng did not invest too much in Zhangjiakou after all, and this is the concentration of Jin merchants and Shaanxi merchants, and the proprietors of the commercial houses have a broad vision, and they may not have much respect for Zhang Han, a descendant, and the wrestling between the seven Jin merchants and He Yusheng has not yet been decided, and now Ma Chaowen's attitude is not surprising.

Ma Chaoren smiled and said: "When the matter is over, if you lose, brother, you have to set up a high-grade eight treasures banquet to make amends to me, who is a brother." ”

Ma Chaowen said: "How can you say this, in the genealogy, you are the eldest brother, I am the fifth, and it was originally the eldest brother who had the final say." If it weren't for the fact that such a matter is so wide-ranging, in fact, it would not have been so much trouble in the first place. ”

Ma Chaoren smiled and said nothing, he joined and Yusheng as a lifter, and the Ma clan did not completely agree, for example, this Ma Chaowen's brother was a four-grade Beijing official in Beijing, and seemed to be closer to the Donglin Party, and wrote a letter back to scold Zhang Han for joining the eunuch party, telling Ma Chaoren to leave and Yusheng and Zhang Han, of course Ma Chaoren ignored it, but the relationship with this side was also relatively distant and indifferent. Today's incident, the other party's attitude can be regarded as a small revenge for the previous incident, but the reason why he did not tear his face was not because of clan affection, but because the other party could not be sure whether he won or lost.

Wang Datong saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and interjected: "Ma Dongzhu, I don't know how much principal you and Yusheng have prepared to buy copper coins, are you casting this coins yourself or entrusting someone to mint them on your behalf?" ”

This is also a topic that everyone is extremely concerned about, and the people next to him heard that Ma Chaoren was Heyusheng's person, and immediately paid attention to it.

The matter of the grassland copper mine has so far been classified as a secret in He Yusheng, and only the high-level and relevant technicians know that the people who went north said that they were going to reclaim the wasteland, and people did not know that He Yusheng had discovered a huge copper mine in the north.

Not to mention this matter, the main reason is that he is afraid of being noticed by the imperial court, after all, He Yusheng is nominally only very little to the north, which is already considered a miracle, and if it is said that it is hundreds of miles deep, there is a large amount of land expansion in the east, west, north and south, and the territory is stabilized, not only can be reclaimed but also mine, this movement is too big.

Since the copper mine can't be said, Ma Chaoren actually doesn't know the specific number of the first batch of coins, whether it is silver coins or copper coins, they are all responsible for the mint bureau on the north and south canals, and the people there are very strict in their hands and work, and they all live in the demarcated area after the next value, just for fear that they will leak the secrets of the mint bureau at will, the machines and factories over there are all built near the river, and there are soldiers guarding them, and idle people can't get close, and Ma Chaoren's identity can't know the specific operation, and of course he doesn't know the numbers.

Fortunately, Ma Chaoren will not show timidity, just smile, drink tea calmly: "Everyone, just wait for it, according to the arrangement of the proprietor Zhang, the copper coins should be shipped today." ”

And Yusheng's money village began to accept reservations a few days ago, so far there are only reservations and price comparisons, and there are not many people who are scheduled now, just a few businessmen and people who are in urgent need of money won by Li Mengnian, and the rest of the people are waiting for the final result, and will not be in a hurry to make a move.

Ma Chaoren's words did not arouse people's approval, on the contrary, because of the ambiguity of his attitude, it made everyone's perception become a little hesitant.
