Section 40 Grain for silk coins
The leading elder brother came out of the Elder Brother's Banquet Restaurant and led everyone to the Qincha Mansion, where the two attendants were cleaning the wooden boxes of silk coins to check for damage.
"The report is poor, and the wooden box of silk coins is intact!" A attendant reported.
"Good, good!" The leading elder brother pointed to the door, "It's hard work, let's go to the elder brother's banquet for dinner, it's booked!" β
After the two attendants hurriedly walked out of the door, the old brother asked, "Silk coins, what does it look like, can you see it?" β
"Of course!" The leading elder brother replied, "In the future, this will be under the care of the old elder brother, you should be familiar with it!" β
The other two personal attendants of the leading brother opened the wooden box with a key, and the package was tightly wrapped, and they took layer after layer, and finally revealed their true faces, and the leading brother stepped forward to uncover a piece, pointed out to everyone, and introduced the key content on this coin: there is a title "Beauty Valley Exchange Coin", a gold ingot pattern, capitalized with the number of coins charged, and the words "Beauty Valley Qincha Mansion" by the coin manufacturer and coin issuing unit.
"It can only be used in Beauty Valley Town, right?" Liu Sanbian asked, "The scope seems to be too narrow!" β
"Yes!" "If the trial is successful, it can be promoted and the scope of the trial can be further expanded. β
"There it is!" The old brother said excitedly, "Salt is a product exclusively sold by the imperial court, and it is tried out from the purchase or shipment of salt, so the amount of large-scale sales is large. β
"Hey, can Brother Dart do the money exchange business on your behalf?" Jiaoyu proposed, "Only in this way can silk coins form a circulation situation, so that the scope of use can also be expanded." β
"It should work!" The old brother listened to his wife's talk about the economy, and stretched out his thumb to praise, and the old aunt said, "There is a rule in the TongguΓ² Dynasty that the salt merchant industry uniformly uses silk coins. When they go out to buy or sell in bulk, they can exchange bulky coins for silk coins on the spot, isn't it convenient? β
Brother Wu Gong said: "Beauty Valley and Yanxing use silk coins in a unified manner, and I will manage the money exchanged for huΓ n, but what?" β
"Amitabha, why are Buddhist disciples interested in money?" The old elder brother joked, "Could it be that the Bodhisattva blessed this trial will be a great success?" β
Liu Sanbian took the initiative to ask the leading brother to rehearse and immediately stage a series of silk coins, so as to attract enough attention and open up the market for the use of silk coins.
Mrs. Rich Landlord. This old lady is not young, but she is not conservative in her thinking and accepts new things quickly.
"It's the time of famine, and it's easier to negotiate a scheduled business." The wife of the rich man said, "It stands to reason that you can buy and sell at a low price, and I do not seek any profits, but order at the purchase price of the production season." β
The leader and Mrs. Brother and Mrs. Old Brother who came to supervise were very relieved to hear that the old lady was so open-minded. The leading elder brother praised: "The old lady helped the farmers to get through the difficulties. The merit is immeasurable, and I am grateful for the worries of the court! β
"Atonement, atonement for the immorality of my dead spirit. That's how you can have peace of mind! The landlord's wife said, "My family's agricultural and sideline products shop can try this kind of coin, order the product from the farmers, and negotiate the price." Finally settle the bill, isn't it! β
She said, as she left the rehearsal hall. The leading elder brother stopped her: "Old lady, thank you for your strong support, but this has to be exchanged for huΓ n coins!" β
"Is the amount of silk coins large?" The wife of the rich man asked, "Is it suitable for a family of peasants to buy or sell grain?" β
The leading elder brother happily told him: "According to the market price, it can be worth one liter of grain, it can also be worth one stone of grain, and it can also be combined to get more grain." β
"It's kind of easy to use, right?" After asking, the old lady said, "My grain shop has more than 500 stone a year, so there should be no problem, right?" β
"Of course not!" The leading elder brother replied, "It will definitely meet the old lady's business needs." β
The old lady hurried away.
The leading elder brother said to the old elder brother: "Uncle, you go back to the Qincha Mansion and assist the martial arts elder brother to exchange huΓ n coins, okay?" β
When the old aunt heard the leading elder brother begging her husband, she stood up with a smile, stretched out her hand and pulled the old elder brother and said, "Just say it, the business is important, I will accompany the husband!" β
"Sister Yu, you should go too!" Jiao'er looked at her brother-in-law, and then at her sister, "Jiao's family rules, you can't go on stage if it's itchy, it's uncomfortable here, it's better to leave, the old brother and his wife are exemplary!" β
"Don't go!" Jiaoyu stood up and took the arm of the leading elder brother, "Don't go, see how some people are embarrassed!" After saying that, he left with a smile.
The leading elder brother came out and said to Jiaoyu: "When you go back to the house, I will go and gather others to go to the countryside with the old lady to talk about the business of ordering agricultural and sideline products, okay?" β
"Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their strength is broken!" Jiaoyu put the weight of her body on her husband's body even more, as if she would fly away if she didn't press it, "This is my wife's hometown, and my uncle and aunt are very familiar with each other, so when will I not help my husband at this time?" β
As soon as the old lady arrived at her store, her personal maid shouted, "Where are the accounts and the money keeper?" β
The account office and the master in charge of the money were about to come out, greeted in the middle of the street, and stood in front of the old lady respectfully: "Welcome the old lady, I don't know what to order?" β
The old lady leaned on crutches and said loudly: "Immediately raise the money of 200 stone of grain, and go to the Qincha Mansion to exchange huΓ n silk coins." β
"Money is ready!" Master Guan Qian asked, "What's the use of redeeming so many huΓ ns?" β
At this time, more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and the old lady looked up and asked, "Are there any households short of grain, can you exchange the purchase price of the seasonal output for my current grain and survive the current famine?" β
The man carrying the basket and carrying the bag squeezed forward and asked, "There is such a good thing, what is the lady trying to do?" β
The personal maid of the rich man's wife replied loudly: "The old lady said that in order to atone for the sins of her dead husband, there were things that could not be done to everyone before, please understand!" β
A middle-aged man with a basket on his back asked: "Is it true that grain is set and exchanged at the price of seasonal production, and there are such good things in the world?" Isn't it a trap for tricks! β
"Is the grain moldy, or is it rotten and spoiled?" Another person with a bamboo pole on his shoulder and a sack tied to his head asked, "Or are you really kind?" β
"Have you ever sold moldy and rotten grain in my grain shop?" The old lady replied energetically, "What are you waiting for your eyes to do?" Can't you recognize the quality of the food you eat every day? β
One of the middle-aged women squeezed into the crowd, came to the landlord's wife, bowed to her, and begged: "Old lady, can you start ordering from this village, I will go and inform the villagers, I will wait for your old man in the afternoon." β
"Good!" The old lady nodded, "However, anyone who wants can do it, and it can also be handled in this grain shop!" β
The rich man's wife, Mu Liang, used silk coins to spread in the town of Beauty Valley for a while, and the vibration was quite strong, and the dispute between belief and unbelief was enthusiastic.
In the afternoon, the rich lady's wife took a luxurious carriage to the Tu family manor, but there were many lively followers along the way, some people paid attention to check the carriage, very suspicious, where are the coins, isn't it empty talk?
When they arrived at the gate of the manor, the black pressed people were waiting, and the middle-aged woman stepped forward and pulled the landlord's wife and asked, "It's okay, I sell five stone rice, okay?" β
At this time, in front of the table that had already been set up sat the master in charge of money, he wrote it in the account book, took out the silk coins from his waist, counted them one by one, and handed them to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman grabbed it in her hand and raised it: "This, this is five stone rice?" β
For a while, like cold water poured into boiling oil, there are many people who shake their heads hotly, who dares to believe that a few handkerchiefs can be worth a lot of food, deceive people!
The old lady's personal maid stood on the carriageway: "Don't believe it, right! Doubt, right! The old lady said that among the people who are willing to go to see the excitement, choose a few to take a carriage and enter the city immediately to see if they can exchange it for rice, is it possible? β
Some people are pouting, some people are disdainful, and many want to see what is going on. Soon, a carriage was full, and the whip of the horse led everyone straight to the town, entered the grain store, helped carry the rice to the car, and returned to the Tu family manor.
Seeing the white flowers, the rice attracted the attention of many people, and they rushed to sell grain. (To be continued......)
