Chapter 322: Silver Bullet Offensive
Wang Zaijin worked in the local area, and served as a squire in the household department, the military department, and the Ministry of Industry, and concurrently served as the three departments, which was extremely rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty. ~Top Novel, x.
The household department manages finance, the military department manages the army, and the engineering department is responsible for the project. It is precisely because of his rich experience and ability that there are not many people who can be seen by Wang Zaijin.
But it was a scrap and two yuan, which completely made Wang Zaijin see Zhang Ke's ability to fight outside of war. Especially the old man, how many days and nights, I can't figure it out. In the past, the Mongols frequently invaded and extorted excessively. The Ming Dynasty promised to exchange markets, and after appeasing and rewarding, it was capricious and bit the Ming Dynasty a few times.
And what Zhang Ke did, encroaching on the grassland land, wantonly cultivating the fields, and forcing the Mongols to send silver, but the Mongols were obedient to him, and they didn't even dare to let out a fart.
If it is said that the Yizhou soldiers are strong, but they are full of calculations, Zhang Ke's hands are only 10,000 people|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|, if the Mongols are willing to fight to the death, Zhang Ke really has no choice.
Before the banquet, Wang Zaijin drank a few glasses of wine, his old face was red, and he asked with a smile: "Yongzhen, the old man is a stomach of questions, I don't know if you can solve my doubts?" ”
"Please speak up, I must know everything!" Zhang Ke said with a smile.
Wang Zaijin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yongzhen, let's start with the silver dollar, this silver dollar is obviously only seventy percent silver, but why are there countless people rushing to it, don't they know?" ”
Not only Wang Zaijin, but Wang Huazhen also stared at Zhang Ke with round eyes, staring at Zhang Ke curiously, they really didn't understand where the charm of the silver dollar was!
"Hehe, Lord Ministry, what do you think is the use of silver?"
"This, the silver is used too much, to put it mildly, the military rations of the imperial court, and the salaries of hundreds of officials. Disaster relief, to put it mildly, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, everything at home is inseparable from silver! ”
"What the ministry said is right, I don't know if I can say this, silver itself is useless, it only has value when you buy things and pay for wages."
Wang Zaijin frowned, and nodded for a while: "You can also say the same." ”
"That's right. Silver dollars, like silver, are used only when they are exchanged. The silver dollar system is exquisite, easy to trade, easy to carry, and there is no problem of zài fineness. With so many benefits, although the value is insufficient, the people can accept it. ”
"I see!"
Wang Zaijin said with a smile: "It seems that the people are losing and gaining, and there is no damage!" That's right, Yeong-jeong. The Tartars brought the silver, and they also gave them the silver dollars, and they had nothing to lose. ”
"Of course not, Lord Ministry. In fact, when the Tartars gave us the money, they had already given us their lives. ”
"Seriously!" Wang Huazhen's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Yongzhen, don't you talk big?" Three million taels of silver. You can earn a maximum of 100,000 taels, and you have to deduct wages and material money, where does it have such a big effect. Do you dare to swallow all the silver of the tartars? ”
"Hahaha, Shibo, don't say it, I really swallowed all the silver!"
Boom, the wine glass falls to the ground!
Wang Zaijin stood up in shock and said sharply: "Yongzhen, don't come nonsense!" A few million taels is a lot, but once the Tartars become angry and fight with us, Liaodong will be in danger. ”
Zhang Ke was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Lord Ministry, don't worry, only if I swallow the silver, we and the Tartars can live in peace!" ”
Wang Zaijin looked unbelieving, and Wang Huazhen was also full of suspicion. Zhang Ke smiled and waved his hand, and asked people to invite Deng Wentong over, and immediately gave Wang Zaijin and them a flickering lesson.
It turned out that when the Tartars came to exchange for huàn silver dollars, the bank first told them that there was only a 3 percent discount for the huàn silver dollars immediately, and if they waited until after the autumn, they could rise to 5 percent.
If you're not in a hurry, just wait for the time being!
As soon as I said this, someone suddenly fried the pot, Lao Tzu worked hard to send the silver, you have to wait, don't forget, you said that you had to exchange huàn silver dollars to trade!
What you say doesn't count, take people as stupid boys, don't look at your Yizhou soldiers to win, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian, and suddenly a few people showed their scimitars, and if they didn't agree with each other, they would do it.
At this time, Deng Wentong hurriedly walked out, reassured everyone with good words, and told everyone that it takes time to mint silver dollars, so don't worry. With so much silver brought by everyone, it would not be easy to take it back, and there might be robbers on the way.
Why don't you leave all the money and deposit it in the zài bank, and give you five percent interest. Add up to a total of 10% interest, 100 taels for 110 yuan, why not.
The Mongols were inherently insensitive to numbers, and they were completely confused by Deng Wentong, one left and one right.
"My lord, just say, is it possible to make money if the silver stays here?"
"That's right!" Deng Wentong smiled: "That's what it means." ”
The Mongols present looked at each other, and they all rolled their eyes, not at all in disbelief. Just kidding, the Han and the Mongols have been fighting for hundreds of years, when did the two sides talk about credit!
The Han people are cunning, it seems to be a matter of taking advantage, and the guarantee is a pit, they have suffered too much.
"It's good if you don't take advantage, and you can still let us take advantage, who are children?"
Deng Wentong didn't care, and laughed: "Don't you know that things in the world can be a win-win situation, and you deposit the silver in the bank." Banks can use the money to invest in workshops, lend money to merchants who are short of money, and earn profits, and when they have a profit, they can naturally share it with you. ”
"What if you lose it?"
"If you lose money, Zhang Shaobao will personally take responsibility and compensate you for your losses."
Zhang Shaobao!
Hearing Zhang Ke's name, everyone present shrank their heads, the prestige of the first battle in Yingzhou, the Zhang brothers are like gods among the tartars, with Zhang Shaobao as a guarantor, there should be no problem!
"Is there any proof of that?"
"Come and see!"
Deng Wentong took out a few bank deposit receipts and put them in front of them.
"As long as you write a note on it and agree on the way to withdraw the money, no one will be able to take it except you!" Deng Wentong said with a smile: "I heard that the grassland is constantly being conscripted and looted, and many people's hard-earned wealth will be seized by the enemy. It is different if you put it in the bank, whether you are a Taiji or a defeated beggar, as long as you are a customer of the bank, the money is yours, and no one can take it! ”
Deng Wentong's words completely touched the heart of the Tartar, if you really have a sum of money in the bank, no matter what time it is, you can be a rich man at worst.
It's worth it!
These Taiji agreed one after another, kept all the silver they brought, and went home to clean up their homes to see how much more silver could be sent.
The Tartars calculated clearly, depositing the silver in the zài bank, they could also earn interest, and when trading with the Ming Dynasty, they didn't have to bother to carry a pile of silver, which was the best of both worlds.
They were delighted, but they forgot one thing, they came with the silver, and when they returned, there was only a piece of paper in their bosoms!
"Hahaha, Lord Ministry, if the Tartars dare to betray the Ming Dynasty, their deposits will be confiscated in an instant, so the lifeblood of the Tartars is pinched in our hands. Moreover, the Tartars have saved so much money that we can borrow money to build roads in the city, pay for military rations, and purchase goods and supplies. In the future, you will use the money of the Tartars to fight the Tartars, what do you think? ”
Wang Zaijin and Wang Huazhen glanced at each other, their eyes were full of incredible expressions, obviously these two were strongly shocked, and they were so shocked that the three souls and seven spirits flew out, floated for a long time, and returned to the body, Wang Zaijin was shocked.
Suddenly, the old man suddenly got up and said sharply: "Yongzhen, the bank can be managed by the old man, this is an important weapon of the country, and it is not allowed to be used casually!" ”
……
With the full support of Wang Jaejin and Wang Huazhen, and the silver sent by the Tartars, the minting workshops in Uiju were busy day and night, and thousands of silver dollars were baked with residual warmth.
Zhang Ke specially arranged a thousand carriages to transport silver dollars, and the carriages full of silver dollars left deep ruts on the ground. When the common people saw this scene, the wave of frenzied buying and hoarding silver dollars gradually subsided, as if spring snow had disappeared in a blink of an eye!
There was an abundant supply of silver dollars in the market, and the great families also took out the hoarded silver dollars.
The Liaodong market stabilized again, and at this moment, Zhang Ke found a few merchants, and in a secret room, Zhang Ke ordered: "Listen, immediately transport 30,000 silver dollars to Liaoshen, and exchange them all for silver." ”
"Well, isn't that the territory of the Tartars?" An old merchant slipped out directly under the stool. (To be continued......) R640
