Chapter 245 - Five Baht Coins
Pei Wei stood up and said for the family: "Lord, second ...... Isn't there something wrong with twenty to one? Those ordinary people have been given a two-to-one exchange ratio, but the ratio to the family is too high! It doesn't matter if the families in the two places are peaceful, but the families in other places are afraid of ......"
Unexpectedly, the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth sneered and said: "Since the family thinks that twenty to one is inappropriate, then simply don't exchange it!" Do you think I want the money bank to exchange with them?! Twenty to one is still agreed by me in front of you, otherwise I will exchange it for the family! ”
"How much windfall profit did those families make by privately minting bad coins? It's their turn to bleed them today! Wen Ji, you tell the families everywhere for me, either they agree to twenty for one, or just wait for the old money to mold in your hands! After this village, they didn't go to the store, and Lao Tzu didn't have the time to play with them. ”
Listening to Wei Shuo's categorical words, Pei Wei sighed and sat down. The lord of his own family is good at everything, but he has too much prejudice against the family, and he especially hates the insatiable greed of the family.
Mo Han whispered in Pei Wei's ear: "Lord Changshi, don't worry, in fact, the gesture that the lord just made was for others to see!" According to the bank's calculations, even if the family exchanged new money for 20 to 1, its loss would not exceed 30%. At most, the loss of thirty percent will make the family feel pain, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones. ”
"The issuance of currency is a profitable business, but the lord does not allow the money bank to make money from ordinary people, so he has no choice but to pass on the loss to the family. Although the family lost some of its money, it benefited Liaodong! ”
"Mr. Wen Ji, you can't blame us for taking the family to the knife, you can only blame the families everywhere for being too greedy! More than eighty percent of the various bad coins popular on the market come from the workshops of the family, and their fineness is not only poor, but also of poor workmanship. Some bad coins will fall into several pieces when they are thrown on the ground. ”
"As the lord said, a few years ago, the family grabbed huge profits from the money business, and today they should compensate the people who were ruined by them."
"Mr. Wen Ji, as the lord who relies on him a lot, I hope you can persuade those families as soon as possible and make your due contribution to Liaodong's victory in this currency war!"
After listening to Mo Han's explanation, Pei Wei's mood became heavier and heavier. He knew the virtues of the families everywhere, and if he wanted them to give up nearly thirty percent of the interests in their hands, it was better to kill them directly with a knife. It can be seen that Wei Shuo's behavior today is obviously not ready to make any compromises, once the two sides clash again over the issue of currency issuance, will the local families attack Liaodong?
Wei Shuo sat on the top, looking at Pei Wei, whose face was not very good-looking, and he was a little dissatisfied with the family in his heart. Now Pei Wei has become the spokesperson of the outside family in Liaodong, and Wei Shuo's strength is getting stronger and stronger. His contact with the family also became more and more frequent. Pei Wei acts as a microphone between Wei Shuo and the family, and his role is becoming more and more important.
Fortunately, Pei Wei was able to distinguish between the main and the secondary, and he would never dare to harm Wei Shuo's interests, and the reason why he stood up for the family this time was mainly because he was worried that Wei Shuo's move would arouse the opposition of the family from all over the world.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shuo did not take the family in his eyes at all, and Wei Shuo did occupy the initiative in the issue of currency. There is no need for the support of the family at all; Secondly, whether the Maison allows it or not. None of them can stop the circulation of new coins.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that everyone will pay attention to this currency issuance, this is not a simple economic activity, but an extremely critical currency war!"
"Currency wars?"
"Yes, it's a currency war! Expelling bad money with good money! It was Liaodong who launched the currency war and won the war. It means that Liaodong will first achieve monetary unification. ”
After months of careful preparation, Liaodong Qian Zhuang has finally opened for business!
The new coins were soon circulated in Youping and Youping, and some families in Youping and Youping took out the high-quality five-baht coins stored at home to prepare to exchange them at the money bank in order to show favor to Wei Shuo. And some ordinary people, out of trust in Wei Shuo, also found out all the bad and good coins in their hands!
"Hurry up. Move fast! ”
The housekeeper of the Wei Mansion kept urging more than a dozen strong men who were pushing carts, and the carts were full of copper coins ready to be exchanged for new coins, which were 20,000 yuan, weighing tens of thousands of catties!
As the leader of Liaodong, Wei Shuo had seen the quality of the new coins with his own eyes, so as soon as the money village opened, he instructed the steward of the Wei Mansion to take out the old money in the house and exchange it for new money.
In addition to the Wei Mansion, the rest of the Youping families such as the Pei family, the Gao family, the Liu family, the Song family, the Feng family and other Youping families have also set an example to the people of the two places.
When the steward Wei took people to feel the money village, the front of the money village has been surrounded by people inside and outside three layers, fortunately, there are government soldiers to maintain order, otherwise I really don't know what chaos will happen.
Finally, it was the turn of the Wei Mansion, and the Wei housekeeper was not like other people who cared about it, only transporting a cartload of old money to the money village for weighing, and then exchanging it into a cart of yellow and clear new coins and shipping it out.
There was also someone next to him who carefully reminded him not to be taken advantage of by Qian Zhuang, but Steward Wei just pouted and didn't bother to answer at all, the entire Youping and the two states belong to my Wei family, and I still care about this little money. Besides, even if Qian Zhuang takes advantage, what is the difference between it and the Wei family?
In the end, Steward Wei went home with the new coins!
As the families of Youping and Youping took the lead in exchanging money, coupled with the excellent quality of the new coins, the common people, who had been a little hesitant before, took out the old money and bad coins that had been prepared one after another, and rushed to the office counter of the money bank to go through the exchange procedures.
The village was crowded with people, and some professionally trained clerks were sweating profusely, but everyone's faces were full of excitement. Just now, the chief said that after being busy, those who have meritorious service will always be rewarded. In order to get the reward, all the clerks are eager to use all their strength to eat.
Mo Han, the head of Qian Village, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, although this was only the first step in the long march, but having a good start gave him more confidence to deal with the next impact.
The new currency was quickly circulated and listed in Youping, mainly because the county guard headed by Wei Shuo had high prestige in the two places, and the implementation of a number of policies to benefit the people allowed Wei Shuo to accumulate a good reputation in the hearts of the people in the two places! These people are convinced that the 'Lord Wei', who loves the people like a son, will never harm them!
Outside of Youping, Wei Shuo could only rely on the influence of the Laoshan Trading Company to promote the unification of the currency, but fortunately, no one realized the importance of the currency at the moment. Moreover, the circulation of currency cannot be solved by administrative means alone, so even if other families resist it, they cannot stop the circulation of Liaodong's new currency in various places.
Wei Shuo's only concern is that the local families will be unable to stop the circulation of new coins, and will vent their dissatisfaction in other aspects. The first is the relationship between Liaodong and Jiangzuo, with the fall of the Central Plains, Jiangzuo is now the most concentrated and powerful place of the family.
Moreover, Jiangzuo's currency is extremely chaotic, there are both the currency issued by Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and there are five baht coins of Han and Wei, once the new currency circulates to Jiangzuo, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of the family. At that time, in the face of the family's attack on Liaodong, presumably King Langya will not offend the whole world for him, no matter how much he appreciates Wei Shuo.
It's just that now, Wei Shuo has no way out, so he can only fight his way out!
In just half a month, Qian Zhuang exchanged millions of yuan in Youping and Youping, and Qian Zhuang made nearly 100,000 yuan of profits from it. The harvest was so huge that Mo Han, the head of the money bank, was excited, and he couldn't help but jump with excitement when he thought that he would be in control of the issuance of the world's currency in the future.
Because the money bank was too important, Wei Shuo directly attributed the money village to his direct leadership, and was subject to the dual supervision of Ji Cao and Song Shi Shi, so as to avoid the management of the money village from violating the law and discipline.
Qianzhuang's victory in the first battle made Qianzhuang excited!
A month later, the new currency will be circulated everywhere, and whether the currency can be unified depends on the performance of the next bank. At the same time, Wei Shuo is also ready to fight with families from all over the world! (To be continued.) )
