Chapter 90: New Money
In Pingzhou Mansion, Jiang Hexing was holding a few new money samples, and several big businessmen were also present. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info the river line: "We still use the five baht money here, everyone can rest assured." Plus, we're going to have to make our own money. A few of you should also take a look, after all, you use it the most. ”
Yang Hong, the Kong brothers, and the old man Dupont, looking at the new money on the table, took it in their hands one by one and looked at it carefully. DuPont asked, "And Wang, I think this money is much lighter than five baht coins, and the two are not as heavy as one five-baht coin." ”
Jiang Hexing held the new copper coin in his hand and said: "Of course, my 10 are one tael, and one of them weighs one penny." How much does this five baht weigh? ”
Du Pont laughed and said: "Five baht is five baht, one tael is 24 baht, almost 5 coins are more than one tael." ”
Jiang Hexing said: "How much money is the key to this, not in terms of size, but in how much you have to adapt to the output, too much and too little are in trouble." We don't send it first, how many five-baht coins are here, let's exchange them first, and then consider sending new money after three years. ”
Yang Hong, DuPont, and the Kong brothers all agreed.
Kong Fei picked up a silver coin and said, "He Wang, it would be nice if this silver coin was bigger." ”
Jiang Hexing looked at him and said, "What do you say?" ”
Kong Fei said: "Sometimes when we buy something, the copper money we pull is heavier than the thing we want to buy, if it is silver, it is convenient, but small silver money is also troublesome, it is good to have a large silver nugget." ”
Jiang Hexing's eyes lit up and said: "Your suggestion is good, we will do it in the future, and we will not let you bring too much money, otherwise it will be too troublesome." ”
Several of them were delighted.
Jiang Hexing originally invited them to ask about textiles, harvesters, and some matters of the Chamber of Commerce, but Zhang Jie just sent sample money over, and Jiang Hexing also showed them it.
DuPont told Jianghexing that a lot of cotton cloth has been made, but there are many people who see it and few people who use it, and everyone seems to be not used to it. Originally, he didn't do much, because last year everyone blocked the door of his house to ask him for cotton, he saw that everyone liked cotton, and if he could sell it, he sold a lot first, anyway, he could make the same money, and he saved a lot of trouble.
Jiang Hexing comforted him and said that the promotion of new things is a long-term process, and cotton cloth will be taken slowly, and people will get used to it in the future, maybe there will not be much linen to wear. The weather in Pingzhou is very cold, cotton is a good idea to make quilts, cotton cloth can also be used on quilts first, not necessarily made into clothes.
DuPont nodded yes.
Kong Fei talked about his own planter, as well as the preparation of the harvester, he said that according to the instructions of Jianghexing, all of them are made into standardized parts, and they are assembled in various counties, which is fast and easy to transport, but the task of the seeder in the previous section seems to take a while to complete, and it is too much at once. I also talked about the preparation of the harvester, steel is not a problem, and now there are many skilled craftsmen in hand, and it should not be a problem to complete it.
Jiang Hexing nodded, more satisfied with the cooperation of the Kong brothers, without them, relying on the production organized by Wang Ke alone, I don't know when it will be promoted to Pingzhou.
In the end, Jiang Hexing looked at Yang Hong and said, "Yang Hong, after this year, many things will trouble you." ”
Yang Hong said with a smile on his face: "He Wang, I love to have He Wang give me a task." ”
Jiang Hexing smiled and said: "Yang Hong, you have always been the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and I, I see that your relationship in all aspects is well maintained." I hope you do it for a long time, and besides, it is only good for your business, and there is absolutely no harm. In the past two years, silk has made a lot of money, but the task given to you this time will delay your money. ”
Yang Hong continued to smile and said: "Whether I make money or not, I am willing to do more for Pingzhou." ”
Jiang Hexing said: "I estimate that in the recent period, businessmen from Chang'an, Luoyang, Nanyang, Handan and other places may come more. You know that your peers are enemies, although some things are okay according to the law, but there may be a lot of tricks behind the scenes, and it is also helpless, just to make you disgusting. I want you to pass on a message on my behalf, I won't care about normal business, I won't ask. If anyone is a deceitful, he will not be able to get along with me. We've known each other for several years, and you know me well, and I try to be considerate of everyone's difficulties. ”
Yang Hong's face became serious, and he nodded again and again: "He Wang has always been kind to us, and I dare not forget He Wang Daen." ”
Jiang Hexing continued: "It's not that I don't have preferential treatment for people, I just hope that when the time comes, maybe the business will not be as profitable as it is now, and some people will feel uncomfortable and make things difficult for newcomers." You have to try to make a bowl of water as flat as possible, and if some people you find really embarrassed, tell me directly. I see who dares to find fault when the time. ”
Jiang Hexing also had a serious face when he said this.
When Du Pont and the He brothers heard this, their bodies also trembled, and their faces became serious. Du Pont was a little bolder, and said with a red face: "He Wang, but what news have you heard?" ”
Jiang Hexing said: "That's not true, I'm just taking precautions in advance, you two will also let the words out, don't let Lao Yang be embarrassed alone when the time comes." ”
"Although this is one thing, the more people come, the more opportunities for business, and most of the time it is a good thing," DuPont said. We have the opportunity to tell the king's intentions and give a vigilance to those who want to make small moves. ”
The He brothers also expressed their attitude, and Jiang Hexing was very satisfied.
After they left, Jiang Hexing carefully sorted out the affairs of Pingzhou, the recent things are basically cooked, and Jiang Hexing thinks about staying here for a long time, it is not a thing. After a while, I will go to see the surrounding places, so that I can know by heart. made up his mind, Jiang Hexing explained the matter to Zhang Kai and Li Xiaowen.
He went home for a while, accompanied Zhao Qingyi, looked at Fan Jiao, hugged the child, and stayed at ease for a while. The weather is gradually getting warmer, and spring ploughing has begun in some places.
Jiang Hexing packed up, said goodbye to his wife and children, took a few personal soldiers, traveled lightly, took two carriages, left Pingzhou Mansion, and headed east.
Along the way, walking very slowly, Jiang Hexing looked at the people who were busy with spring plowing on both sides of the road, the seeding machine was used a lot, and this year's planting area was seen to be much larger than in previous years. Along the way, I saw the busy peasants, although they were busy, their faces were not sad, and after they were busy with this field, they had to rush to the next field, looking in a hurry.
Walking and stopping all the way, looking at the farmland on the side of the road, but at this time I was too busy to go to people's homes to see. Jiang Hexing had a little regret, and walked on the road for four days before arriving in Jilin City.
Jilin City has changed, unlike before, it was on the east side of the river, and now there are also many houses built in the west of the river. Jiang Hexing got out of the car, went down to look around, and found that there was a big market in front of him.
Jiang Hexing took two personal soldiers and walked to the entrance of the market, and a fishy rush came to his face. The market is huge. On the wide avenue, there are tall storefronts on both sides. The signboards are very conspicuous, and some of them are also hung with wooden flat fish hanging at the door. Jiang Hexing noticed that both sides of the road were related to fish.
Jiang Hexing walked in, there was no one inside, and the guys at the doors of the various stores stood listlessly at the door. Seeing Jiang Hexing dressed up, everyone looked at him with wide eyes and shouted loudly. One shouted: "Guest officer, come here to take a look, fresh live fish, just arrived, you come and take a look." The other shouted, "Sir, look, fresh live fish, the largest live fish in Jilin City." ”
Jiang Hexing has nothing to do anyway, and plans to see them all. He first walked into the first store near the entrance of the market, the signboard of this shop is large, with four big characters written on it, the signboard has a black background, the words are golden, and it seems to be smeared with gold powder, which is dazzling and extremely dazzling. Two young men, with short neat hair, black canvas uniforms, and long buckskin boots underfoot. There are also a lot of mud spots and fish scales on the clothes, which looks a little dirty. However, when the two saw Jiang Hexing and his party, they immediately stood on both sides of the door and shouted loudly: "Guest officer, please come in." ”
