Chapter 399: The first issue of the banknotes

When the people who cooperated with Jiang Lan found that the restaurant couldn't make money and discussed with Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan took out the contract he had signed and showed them the various terms written on it.

The businessmen were stupid now, looking at Jiang Lan, they meant that they wanted to prepare everything to do in accordance with the contract, and they didn't have the kind of easy talk they had at the beginning.

If you don't have the heart to do it, you can't recover your investment, you can go, but you can't take the money with you, and it will be cheap Jiang Lan and the others.

Feng Dongjia, who specializes in contracting the first floor, couldn't help it, and said to Jiang Lan helplessly: "Jiangdong family, now the first floor of the few blue sea and silver sand I have contracted is almost not profitable, if it goes on like this, it won't take a few days to wait for the loss of money, can the Jiangdong family think of a way?" ”

Other businessmen who did not buy and sell well also echoed it, and since they couldn't threaten Jiang Lan, they had no choice but to say soft words.

Jiang Lan frowned, with a look of empathy, "Oh, it's hard to find a way, if there is a good way, the blue sea and silver sand will not be as good as the water and clouds, if you want to say a way...... There is such a one, but I don't know if you want to try it. ”

"Jiangdong family, there is really a way, please come on." Wang Dongjia asked anxiously.

"Well, in fact, it's not difficult, since others don't want to go to the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha to eat, it's better to send it to someone else's home, recruit more guys, and keep running on various roads every day.

Write a good word in front of the car, let people shout while walking a few days ago, and when there are more people who know, you can shout to order food, and then let people ride back to the restaurant, do a good job to send it over, do you think it is feasible? ”

Jiang Lan kindly gave everyone ideas, and the businessmen thought about it, and found that this method was really good, and some people usually sent people to the restaurant to order food during dinner, and then asked the restaurant to deliver it, which was naturally not as good as someone riding a bicycle and shouting.

Many people's eyes lit up, and they were grateful and admired for Jiang Lan, and it was not easy to think of such a solution.

At this time, Feng Dongjia spoke again.

"Jiangdong's family, it's good, but there aren't many people coming to the restaurant, isn't the place empty?"

When the others heard what Feng Dongjia said, they also discovered this problem, since they can be sold out, isn't it a waste for the first and second floors to be idle there?

"Ah~! Yes, it's empty, so if you think of other ways, you can't always be empty. Jiang Lan looked helpless.

"Then let's do it first, I really can't do it, I can only admit compensation." Some people in the crowd retreated, and would rather give up the money they had invested than continue to build in it, and it didn't matter whether they still dealt with Shui Yunjian.

Others haven't done anything yet, but Wu Feng, who also came to the meeting, was in a hurry, and finally united a group of people to deal with Shui Yunjian, and if they disperse like this, they will not be able to organize it in the future, which will make Shui Yunjian more famous.

Hurriedly dissuaded: "Everyone, don't worry, think about it again, there is no endless road." ”

Jiang Lan also followed and said: "Okay, when I go back and think about it carefully, I will discuss with you when I have a way, let's go buy a bicycle first." ”

The businessmen left one by one very dejected, originally planning to deal with other people's water and clouds, and now they were going to buy the bicycles of Zhang and Wang's family.

The bicycle is not cheap, Zhang Wang's two families are not selling well, except for the rich people to buy one or two pictures back, no one wants to buy it, and the worst bicycle is more than 100 yuan.

You can still ride in the city, but when you get outside the city, when it rains, and the road is not good, it is better to ride a carriage or a donkey.

When everyone left, leaving only Jiang Lan and Wu Feng, Wu Feng said to Jiang Lan with a sad face: "Jiang Dongjia, I don't know if I can still come up with money, I want to buy a batch of silk recently, and my hands are a little tight." ”

Jiang Lan shook her head regretfully, "Steward Wu, the money is there, but it can't be transferred, there must be arrangements on the Jiangnan East Road, it's better to ask other businessmen, three days, at most three days, I will definitely be able to come up with a solution to the restaurant's difficulties." ”

"It's okay, I'll find someone to ask again tomorrow." Wu Feng has no recruitment, he has collected too much silk recently, and he has collected it privately, and the price is nine or a half percent of the original, for fear of startling the snake, he has not yet been saved in the money village, and he is ready to live for a while, save it together, and then take it out in parts.

The key is to get through this for a while.

Waiting for Wu Feng to leave with the others, Jiang Lan smiled and picked up the tea that was already cold in front of him, took a sip, and muttered, "Just because you still dare to fight with the little boy?" Collect it, collect it, and see who suffers in the end. ”

The capital is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

There are a lot more animals in the zoo, and the animals that can be raised have been opened to visitors one after another, and in order to ensure the freshness of visitors, the new animals will not be seen immediately, but will be taken out little by little.

People who have no other way to know about all kinds of animals are still very eager for the zoo, which has caused the zoo's income to be much higher than that of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at that time.

In addition to the cost of feeding and research, there is a sum left.

Today is the day of settlement at the end of the month, Gao Lishi took people over to enter the account, and when he came back, there was a team dedicated to pulling money, and he came to Xingqing Palace all the way to report to Li Longji.

"This month, you have earned a total of 6,000 yuan by collecting tickets and renting out booths? Okay, I've made a lot of money, and I have extra spare money to spare. ”

Listening to the data that Gao Lishi said, Li Longji wrote down an integer, 6,000 guan is not much compared to taxes, but after all, there is income, and it is increasing month by month.

"Your Majesty, Xiaobao sent a letter, saying that two sharks will be sent in a few days, and let this side build a pond first, which is the place where Your Majesty wants to build that lake, and use it to raise sea creatures first, after all, the salt in Jili Prefecture has not yet been enough.

Also, Xiaobao proposed to let His Majesty open the royal garden more, several times a month, otherwise it would be a waste to put it there, and Jili Prefecture would provide a lot of things over there to buy and sell in the garden. ”

Colliers mentioned two more things.

In the past, Li Longji would not agree to open the royal garden at will, which was a symbol of identity and status, but now he has changed a lot, he knows the importance of money, he wants to occupy more territory, and it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

In particular, it is better to recruit conscripts than to let each place raise its own money to recruit soldiers, so as to prevent others from rebelling.

So he agreed.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to two things, Gao Lishi took out a few pieces of paper from his arms that looked special, six inches long and two inches wide, and the reverse side was printed with exquisite and delicate patterns.

Li Longji received it in his hand, and looked at it one by one, there were different numbers written on it, some were written with 100 yuan, some were 1,000 yuan, and the smallest was 10 yuan, and the paper was a little smaller.

Look at the only unchanged word on it is Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"This is ......," Li Longji asked, raising the paper in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the money that Xiaobao and Juan Juan let people make, and it will be used instead of copper coins and silk in the future, it is said that there are countless craftsmen, so that the anti-counterfeiting thing is made, you look at the light, you can see that there are convex and concave places on one side, and it is not on the surface of the paper."

Colliers explained.

Li Longji pinched the fluttering paper in his hand, looked at the largest amount of millions of coins on it, and always felt that it was not so secure, it was not as weighty as copper coins, and asked uncertainly: "Will anyone be willing to use it?" What about less than 10 dollars? ”

"The small treasures and juanjuan under ten dollars are being made, and they need to be pressed with a die, not cast as before, and if anyone wants to forge them by hand, the effort is not worth the effort.

As for whether anyone is willing to use paper money, this is easy to do, Xiaobao wants His Majesty to make a will, when the paper money begins to be issued, the tax of the court will collect paper money in the future, and Xiaobao will also cooperate with other merchants to recognize the purchasing power of paper money, and when you get used to it, it will be done. ”

Gao Lishi said and introduced: "Your Majesty, the advantage of using paper money is not only to prevent someone from making copper coins privately, but also to be able to cancel the cost of saving silk, but more importantly, it is easy to carry, and it is much more labor-saving than copper silk when transporting, and there are other benefits Xiaobao did not say, it will not be simple." ”

Li Longji pinched the banknote in his hand and thought for a while, then said: "Let Xiaobao print more first, where is the place to print the money?" ”

Li Longji is not stupid, he knows that printing money is unusual, if someone prints money to play in the future, then the country will be over.

"Your Majesty, now that the place where the money is printed is in Jili Prefecture, Xiaobao is ready to move the printing house to the capital, and His Majesty will find someone to guard it firmly at that time."

Colliers responded immediately.

"What about the silk that is collected? There are a lot of silks in Datang, can they be sold to the people? Li Longji thought of another problem that needed to be solved.

Gao Lishi sighed at this time and replied: "Your Majesty, Silk already has a market, Xinyuanzhou and *** and Silla can be sold, as well as Tubo, Turkic, Xiaobao is considering the merchants of cooperation, Xinyuanzhou and *** are ready to be handed over to the merchants of Jiangnan Dongdao, and other places have not been considered." ”

"Gangnam Dongdao? Blue sea and silver sand? Li Longji suddenly remembered the restaurant that was against Shui Yunjian.

"Yes, Xiaobao said in the letter, Bihai Yinsha is also his, it is not a good thing for the Shuiyun family to be dominant, there needs to be competitive opponents, but it is bitter to cooperate with Bihai Yinsha to deal with the merchants in Shuiyunjian, a large part of their money is ***, and they can only make a little money."

Colliers had a gloating expression.

Li Longji was stunned, and Fang said: "No wonder, I can open the restaurant so well, I thought that there was another capable person, write a letter to Xiaobao, leave a line, don't rush to kill everything." ”

Li Longji did not doubt Zhang Xiaobao's ability at all, if he wanted to make the person who opposed him lose all his family property, there were still people who could survive.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Xiaobao has stayed, and in a few days there will be new moves on the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha, and at the same time, the third floor of Bihai Yinsha adjacent to Shuiyun or opposite will also change, there will be competition and cooperation."

"Come on, come on......"

The state capital of Jili Prefecture was very lively, Xiaobei and others watched Pan'er and the two little guys turn over hard there, cheering up, and from time to time they had to do a demonstration.

The two little ones couldn't understand what others were shouting, and when they saw someone turn over, they followed along, and they would giggle a few times every time they flipped, and seemed to be very interested in this kind of game.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also temporarily put down their work to accompany them and feel the warm moment.

It wasn't until the two little guys were tired and hungry and ready to cry that Xiaobei and the others stopped and found the nurse to feed their younger brothers and sisters.

"Xiaobao, when will you do it?" Wang Juan suddenly asked something that the others couldn't understand.

"Wait a little longer, come together when the news reaches all the money houses, on the sixth day of the first month of next month, I will see who will cooperate with Concubine Wu Hui after this incident."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Xiao Bei and the others, who said that they were going out to find a guard for themselves, and ran out one after another, and replied to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan didn't say anything more on this issue, and moved on to something else: "What about printing money?" How can Li Longji not be blindly printed? ”

"Li Longji will not print casually, and he is not short of eyes, unless there is a problem with the overall finances, he will deal with it by depreciating the currency, as for whether anyone is crazy about printing money in the future, then we can't care."

Zhang Xiaobao really can't do anything about this matter, let alone now, even if it should be printed at other times, which country hasn't done this?

Wang Juan stretched his waist, "Then wait for the sixth day of the new year, if you are sleepy, go back and squint for a while, and send a thousand people to act tomorrow and go to North America to find good things for you." ”

The days passed day by day, and when the sixth day of the new year came, Datang Qianzhuang suddenly posted a notice.

There are two things to be said.

The first item is naturally paper money, Zhang Xiaobao contacted a lot of merchants, promised to accept paper money, anyone who uses paper money to buy things, this month will enjoy a discount of 95%.

People who are accustomed to flying money have no objection to this, but ordinary people are confused, can a piece of paper be spent as money?

Even if there is a promise from the merchant, they are hesitant one by one, and they all want to see the effect after others change it first.

More intelligent people immediately thought of counterfeiting, in the past, they could make copper coins privately, but now they can also try to make paper money, but when they saw the paper money, they were all discouraged.

It's too difficult to make, if you use a pen to draw, then a subtle place is easy to make mistakes, but also to find the same paper, the same oil, it takes at least a few months to draw a picture, if it is a hundred strokes.

The question is how to get the bump and dimple on the money and the imprint sandwiched between the paper in the shiny place.

People who want to fake have their thoughts suppressed for the time being, and they need to improve their skills.

The second thing on the notice is the acquisition of silk, and people who have silk in their hands can come directly to exchange it, but they can only exchange eighty percent of the money.
