readx;?ps: There have been too many things lately, and the update may not be very stable, but the guarantee of two more per day can still be guaranteed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info∑,。。。 In addition, thank you for the gift of the local tyrant brother Tianhai Xiangyun again, kneel and thank you.

"Yes, General!" Yan Hong thought for a while and asked, "General, in this case, are you planning to sell our goods to them?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Changyuan nodded, but he smiled strangely and said, "It's okay to sell it to them, but you have to add some restrictions." ”

Now it is only merchants from the coastal areas who come to buy goods, and if one day the news that Riyue Island is the base of goods spreads throughout China, and even to the surrounding Korea, Fuso, Luzon, and Ryukyu, then it will be okay.

When the time comes, let alone ten cars, even if you keep transporting supplies from modern society day and night, you won't be able to meet the needs of the entire earth.

What to do? Of course, there are some restrictions.

"They can buy our items if they want." Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, motioned for Yan Hong to stand up, and said, "From today onwards, you will set up a special department on the island, the logistics department. ”

"The logistics department doesn't have to worry about other things, it is responsible for the storage and transportation of materials on the island, as well as the sale, the amount, the finance department must have an accountant to follow up when selling, and everyone will supervise together."

After saying so much, Zhu Changyuan also stood up, picked up a one-yuan note from the table and said: "Don't those merchants want to enter our goods, of course they can, but we don't accept gold or cash, only this kind of banknote." ”

Only paper money is accepted, and the benefits are still greatly dropped. First of all. Those merchants had to get the banknotes first. He had to find a way to coax the inhabitants of the island, but the inhabitants were not fools, and they could not give him their own things for nothing.

In this way, businessmen will naturally think of a way, and there is only one way, which is to trade.

In this way, they will in turn transport large quantities of supplies from the land to Sun Moon Island to exchange paper money in the hands of the residents. Then use the banknotes to go to the logistics department of Sun Moon Island to buy items.

After a reincarnation, the banknotes finally returned to Zhu Changyuan's hands, and he could continue to use these banknotes to pay his salary.

Two things have quietly changed in this cycle: first, a large number of goods in their hands have left the island, bringing modern information and ideas to the entire Asian region; Second, if a merchant wants to change regional banknotes, he must transport the island's urgently needed supplies from outside the island, and if so, he will have to transport grain, vegetables, clothes, and so on.

In addition to this, very valuable jade porcelain can also be exchanged for banknotes! Note. It is very precious, not in the general sense of the word.

"Of course. Before that, all the inhabitants were to be informed that all the silver taels must be exchanged for money by tomorrow, and if they wait until tomorrow, they will not be exchanged. ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Changyuan said again: "Strictly guard the news, drive all the rich merchants to the sea before the exchange of banknotes is over, and do not disclose the specific reasons to the residents." ”

Quite simply, he didn't want to exchange all the money he had worked so hard to bring from modern society to the rich merchants, and he was counting on the rich merchants to change his direction.

"Of course, these people attending the meeting are all high-level leaders on our Sun Moon Island, the backbone, and the talents that I Zhu Changyuan fancies, so I will give you the same separate benefits, and tell you to mention it, so if you have silver at home, all of them will be exchanged for banknotes, and after tomorrow, all the silver will have no place on Sun Moon Island."

"Thank you, Holy General." Everyone thanked Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan said: "Okay, go and solve this matter, and then it's a big deal to build the foundation pit." ”

After that, the meeting was adjourned.

After the meeting was dismissed, the island began to get busy, and the administrators, despite the bad snow, drove all the rich merchants from the island to the sea, and told them that they could come from the sea tomorrow to buy goods.

After the rich merchants were driven away, all the soldiers received an order, and then braved the wind and snow to go from house to house to inform the inhabitants of the island: the Holy General had ordered all the silver to be exchanged for banknotes, and the circulation of silver on the island was forbidden in the future.

The residents had no choice but to come out of the warm quilts and brave the heavy wind and snow to exchange banknotes.

The residents didn't have much money, and they came over one by one with silver taels, most of which were only ten taels or twenty taels of silver, and Zhu Changyuan personally opened up three houses in the office building specifically for exchange, and one tael of silver was exchanged for one yuan.

In one afternoon, all the 20,000 people on the island had been exchanged, and the silver in the house was piled up like a hill, which was hundreds of thousands of taels, and Zhu Changyuan's banknotes were quickly reduced by hundreds of thousands.

It's all change.

Except for Yan Hong and other managers, few of the people below have the ability to exchange hundred-yuan bills.

The next day, the merchants who had come to the island full of excitement to buy goods were dumbfounded when they arrived, and whether it was to go to the store to shop, eat, or even to stay, they almost felt cramps and vomited blood.

There is no money on the island, only money.

"Banknotes, or banknotes, what is banknotes?" A wealthy businessman from Zhejiang stomped his feet angrily, creaking the snow under his feet, but he still didn't know what a banknote was.

Yan Hong was not far from these managers, holding a one-yuan bill in his hand and distributing one to each of the wealthy merchants, and said: "Friends, this is my banknote from Sun Moon Island, this light green ticket in your hand is worth one tael of silver, and this official will give each of you one tael for free today on the order of the holy general, for viewing." ”

"This, this is the banknote?" The eyes of the wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang lit up, and they were amazed, and said: "Sure enough, it is Riyue Island, it is really a big deal, and the paper can be carved and printed so exquisitely, it is simply amazing." ”

"One dollar, one tael of silver, good, good!" Holding the banknote and looking at it repeatedly for a long time, another businessman from Shandong was surprised: "Lao Hu, take a closer look, what is special about this banknote in addition to the exquisite printing?" ”

"Peculiarities?" Zhejiang, whose name is Lao Hu, wrapped the leather jacket on his body, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "Realistic." It is difficult to imitate. There are also some characters I don't recognize. Is there anything else? ”

"Huh." The Shandong merchant said, "You rub it carefully with your hand." ”

Lao Hu according to what he said, rubbed it and still didn't find anything, suspecting that it was because his hands were too frozen in winter, he vigorously took a few breaths of hot air on his hands, and then carefully rubbed it, and when he touched the blind lines, he was suddenly startled, and said: "Big stroke, big stroke." The banknotes of the sun and the moon are much better than those issued by the imperial court to officials. ”

"With this craftsmanship alone, a dollar bill can be worth hundreds of taels of silver."

Everyone admired in front of Yan Hong, and then asked in a low voice: "Lord Yan, I don't know how we can exchange these banknotes, please show me the way." ”

Yan Hong nodded, smiled and said: "This official is here to show you the way, Mr. doesn't know, the workers and residents of my island, the money in circulation is this kind of banknote." Suffice it to say, as long as I am a resident of Sun Moon Island. Everybody has money. My filial piety and the county lord have ordered the opening of the market in the southwest of the town, and you can buy real estate shops there at that time. ”

"Oh? Is there such a beautiful thing? Lao Hu said with a smile.

"Old Hu, don't be happy yet." He Yihao, a businessman from Shandong, was a majestic-looking man, looked at Yan Hong, and said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, isn't the money in circulation on the island banknotes?" How can you buy a shop without banknotes? Not to mention the gift of the Sun Moon Island account! ”

"Uh, h!" Lao Hu patted his head and said to Yan Hong, "Yes." ”

The Fujian merchant was a little black man, and then asked Yan Hong, "Manager Yan, how should this be?" ”

Yan Hong smiled slightly, and said: "My county lord is thoughtful, he has long thought of your difficulties, Sun Moon Island has opened a special money village in the town, if you have treasures as collateral, you can go there to take a loan, and it is a low-interest loan, only five percent a year." ”

"Five percent?" Everyone was stunned.

"That is, the annual interest, half out of ten." When Yan Hong said this, everyone understood.

Half out of ten, even if you take a loan of 10,000 taels of silver, the interest for a year is only a mere 500 taels, which is considered to be too low in ancient times to be lower.

After a while, Zhu Changyuan also came over to meet with a few wealthy businessmen, said a few words of encouragement, and said: "As for the opening of a port on the island, the county lord of Xiaohe has already ordered, you don't have to worry, you can buy a set of shops at that time, and you can give away a person's household registration." ”

"But you have to think clearly, we have everything here, except for the basic rice and vegetables, there are not too many things missing." Zhu Changyuan reminded.

He Yihao, a businessman from Shandong, laughed and said: "General, you are too worried, even if you think about it on Sun Moon Island, you can't get all the things in the world to the island, we have our own way." ”

After speaking, in order to show that his views were correct, He Yihao walked dozens of meters away and pulled over a young resident, and asked with a smile: "This little brother, is it good to live on the island?" ”

"Okay." When the young man saw Zhu Changyuan, he knelt down and shouted, "Divine General." ”

Zhu Changyuan said: "Get up and answer Mr. He's words truthfully!" ”

"Yes!" The young man said: "I think it's good to have enough to eat on the island and earn wages, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

He Yihao asked again: "Do you feel that something is missing?" ”

As soon as he asked, the other merchants craned their necks to find out the answer, knowing that they could get almost anything that the inhabitants lacked, and then sell it to collect money, and then buy goods to sell.

"There's no shortage." Young people think about it, they can eat and sleep well, and the island is very peaceful, like this kind of cold weather can still have food and clothing, what else can be missing?

"Little brother, think about it again, but what is missing?" He Yihao asked hopefully.

"Think again?" The young man repeated He Yihao's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "You say so, I think there is really something that is in short supply, but the shops on the island do not sell it. ”

"What is it?" In addition to He Yihao, those businessmen from Fujian and Guangdong also asked.

However, the young man's words almost made these people spurt blood.

"I think there is a lack of a daughter-in-law now!"

"Poof!" (To be continued.) )u
