Chapter 272: Mo Dao is magnificent
The money village only emerged in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and was specially used for the business of exchanging copper coins, gold and silver. Before that, there were similar cabinets like those in the Tang Dynasty. They are all rudiments of a kind of bank, but they are only equivalent to the insurance role of banks. Not only does it not pay interest to the customer, but a certain percentage of the storage fee is charged. The cabinet kept not only gold and silver, but also silk and millet.
The cabinet is only responsible for safekeeping, and can be withdrawn with tokens.
There is also a kind of flying money in the Tang Dynasty, which is a remote withdrawal voucher and belongs to the exchange business. The money bank is almost equivalent to a combination of a cabinet and a flying money.
The Four Seas Money Village introduced by the bookstore shopkeeper was actually reopened by Chen Ke. Chen Kefu controls Liaodong and is the biggest force. And after he conquered Liaodong, the gold, silver and copper coins in his hands were really piled up, one library after another. Later he found out that in this day and age, if you buy less, it's fine, if you buy more, it's definitely a painful thing.
The money has always been six catties and four taels, but it is only a thousand dollars. Just buy a little more, it won't be a small amount. And ordinary people, you can't always take three or five pounds of money with you everywhere, right?
Thinking of the money in his warehouse, Chen Kefu simply set up a money bank, combining the two functions of the Tang Dynasty cabinet and flying money in the later generations. Because he has enough money, his business is very fast and convenient. After having this money bank, Chen Ke made many small copies
The amount of silver tickets ranges from consistent money to two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred. Almost the same as the face value of the RMB, these quotas do not need to be tokenized, and belong to the kind of bearer bills that can be redeemed at sight.
Chen Kefu could directly issue silver tickets for all kinds of salaries, rewards, and pensions in the Liaodong Army, and then they would go to the money village to get them. Silver tickets issued by Four Seas Money are free of custody fees. However, if it is a registered storage room of the same type, you will need to pay for the storage. This kind of money requires a registered silver ticket and a token.
Not only that, but the Four Seas Money Bank also carries out some small loans, mortgages luxury valuables, and various gold, silver and copper coins exchange business. A micro bank, it is precisely with the four seas of money that the commercial development of the cities in eastern Liaodong will be more prosperous. And Chen Kefu also plans to develop the Four Seas Money Village to all parts of the Central Plains, this thing seems inconspicuous, but it is very useful when it is critical.
Meisheng took a long time before he said: "This money village from all over the world is really amazing, and it can actually be exchanged all over the world." But I don't have so many copper coins, is it okay to use gold and jewelry? ”
"You can go to the Four Seas Money Village to exchange, and the Hua people also exchange this kind of gold, silver and jewelry. Everyone went to Qianzhuang with Meisheng and saw this new thing.
The money village is very wide, and there are several ordinary shops. It looks the same as an ordinary pawnshop, with a high counter in front of it, basically up to the head of the person. There is a row of money fences in the window that resembles a bank, where a digital account keeper sits, and in addition to the account room, there are also several appraisers who specialize in mortgaging and pawning luxury items such as jewelry.
Meisheng asked his entourage to fetch a few boxes of gold and a few boxes of jewelry, and someone from the money bank quickly got the business done for him. In less than half an hour, Meisheng's few boxes of gold and jewelry were counted as 40,000 silver tickets. Holding those fluttering silver tickets, Meisheng was still a little incredulous.
Looking left and right at his hand, what he was holding in his hand was 40,000 yuan and exchanged it for copper coins, which was more than 1,000 stones. All the way back to the bookstore, I still call it magical. Back at the bookstore, there was a person from Sihai Money Village, who took a photo of the two phases, and soon the transaction payment was completed. Meisheng only needs to designate a place, and the bookstore will have someone to deliver the book.
Today, Chen Kefu also deliberately let them visit Liaodong City, so that they can feel the wealth and prosperity of Luodong, so that they can be in awe. Let all countries understand the strong strength of Liaodong, and also occupy some active position in the nose of Liaodong in the future.
For Chen Kefu, what he hopes for is not to make enemies in all aspects of the tribes in western Liaoning, but to pick one to fight, but in fact, he has to use the tribes in western Liaoning to fight against each other. No matter how strong a country or nation is, it can't stand making enemies on all sides. Just like the Sui Dynasty, if the Sui Dynasty won a foreign war and recuperated for decades, then the Sui Dynasty would definitely last longer. Instead of being like Yang Guang, who immediately continued to play the next one after beating one, such a result would only make the Great Sui completely collapse.
After leaving the bookstore, the group continued to wander the bustling streets of the West Market. All kinds of exquisite goods make these messengers very fond of it. The crowd walked along the way and bought a lot of items along the way. ,
At this time, an armory workshop attracted the envoy of Murowei, Zamuan. It was a weapon shop full of all kinds of fine goods, but this shop looked like one that specialized in aristocratic business. The weapons in the store are all kinds of extraordinary equipment at first glance, horizontal swords, ring swords, all kinds of long swords, short swords, and daggers. In particular, the ring knives in it are all inlaid with gold and jade, and the rings of the handle are full of precious stones. Even on the scabbard, there are all kinds of precious stones and gold wires.
However, apart from these weapons, there are no crossbows, spears, spears, swords, armor and other equipment in the store. These equipment are all prohibited items, and Chen Kefu has issued a strict order, and it is forbidden to beat long weapons, heavy weapons and armor in all weapons shops in Liaodong. All of these weapons and armor belong to the military standard and can only be made by military craftsmen. Even if it is a bow and arrow, the hardness of the bow is strictly limited.
However, Zahe'an was clearly not attracted by the precious swords displayed in the store, but by a knife on an armory rack made of rosewood in the center of the store.
A real murder weapon about a zhang long, the Mo knife in the Mo Dao Army in Liaodong. If this big knife is placed in the Mo Dao Army, it can only be regarded as ordinary, the black and faint is very rough, and there are many fine small gaps on the two blades of the basic big knife. Chen Kefu could see at a glance that this was not a real Mo knife, this was a Mo knife that was originally transformed into a horse sword. Now in the Mo Knife Army, these knives have been eliminated and have become training knives. There are even some disabled soldiers in the Modao Army, because they are brave in battle during their service, and finally reward them with the Modao they were going to hand in as a souvenir.
Chen Kefu's Liaodong Modao Army can be said to be prestigious, and they must be there in every big war. Among the commentaries and miscellaneous dramas that are now being sung outside, many of them are stories about the Modao Army. If there is a Mo knife in this shop, it means that there may be a retired and disabled soldier of the Mo Dao Army in this shop.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this knife cost?" It was as if Zamu'an had seen a stripped beautiful girl lying in front of him. A pair of eyes were red, and his breathing was a little short.
The young man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guest officer, this knife is my father's personal weapon when he was in the army, and it is not for sale." It was placed here for my father to exhibit for the guests to see. If you like knives, we also have a variety of horizontal knives in our shop, which are absolutely exquisite. I can tell you more about it, there are various styles. The young man was only in his early twenties, but he was very gentle and spoke politely.
Zamu'an's gaze couldn't take his eyes off it since he saw this strange knife.
The tall body even trembled slightly, and a blush appeared on the bearded face.
"No, I don't feel any other knives, that's why I want this one. I know the name of this knife, it's called Mo Knife. It was used by the strongest Mo sword soldiers in the Liaodong soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. Since he was your father's weapon, then your father must have been a strange sword soldier before. Your father is a warrior, so what do you think of me taking my most precious scimitar and exchanging another hundred taels of gold for your father's sword? …,
As he spoke, Zamuhe took a scimitar from his waist, the scabbard of the scimitar was actually made of gold, and there were several bright gems on it. And the handle of the knife was wrapped with gold wires, and Zha Muhe gently pulled the knife, like a pool of autumn water, and the cold air hit people.
Seeing this knife, everyone praised the good words in their hearts. Zamuhe pointed to the scabbard of the knife with some pride, and the scratch on it... It's full of traces. "I've been with this golden knife since I was ten years old, and I've been with me ever since. Every time I kill an enemy, I slash the golden scabbard according to the tradition of my Murowei people... Last trace. There are already ninety-nine traces on it, and with just one more, I can complete the 100-person slash, and from then on I will be the bravest warrior in the clan, surpassing all known tribal warriors. This little brother, this knife is very precious, I hope to exchange this knife for your father's Mo knife, and I am willing to add another hundred taels of gold. ”
After listening to Zamuhe's words, Chen Kefu didn't have to admire it a little, he didn't expect that this bearded man was still a warrior who had already killed ninety-nine people. If you only look at the knives of both sides, then the deal proposed by the bearded man is very fair. It is even said that the shopkeeper took a big advantage of the deal. After all, no matter how expensive the Mo knife is, it can't be worth three hundred taels of gold, let alone such a precious knife.
"I'm sorry, I can't sell this Mo knife!" A burly man with a height of seven feet walked out. When Dahan walked out of the yīn shadow, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. I saw that there was a terrible scar on the big man's face, starting from the left forehead and ending at the lower right. The scar crossed the entire face, the left eye, and then the nose, disfiguring the whole person, and one eye is now méng in the blindfold.
This scar reminded Chen Kefu of Hu Hai, but it was much deeper than Hu Hai's. Just by looking at this glance, Chen Kefu understood that this must be the shopkeeper. And he is the owner of this Mo knife, he used to be a brave Mo knife army, but because he was blind in the end, after the war, he was retired.
