Chapter 321: Hollowing Out the Tartars

"My brother-in-law is really good, and his guess is not bad at all. ∽ ↗ top ∽ ↗ point ∽ ↗ small ∽ ↗ said, www. ”

Deng Wentong said with admiration: "My ability is too far behind the second brother's unpredictable. In the past, it was the Tartars who robbed us of our silver, but now the Tartars are holding the silver and sending it to the door, the vicissitudes of life, it is really embarrassing! Second brother, have you calculated how much silver you can earn? ”

"This is still being calculated, but in the past few days, a few Taiji have exchanged 100,000 taels, and we have earned 30,000 taels, and the princes and nobles of the grassland have at least 10 million taels of silver in their hands, if they can all take it out and exchange it for huàn, you can get 3 million taels just for the coinage!"

"Oh my God! How can there be so many? ”

"Brother-in-law, this is still a small man, and the most important thing is that the silver dollar is popular, and the trade of the grassland has completely fallen into our hands, and the annual commercial tax alone can be one or two million taels. And if the Tartars have a bunch of silver dollars in their hands, do they know how to manage their money? Obviously, we don't have this ability, and with it, our money bank has entered the grassland. As long as the Tartars open an account in the bank and deposit the silver dollars in it, they will fall into the palm of our hands, and whoever dares to disobey and freeze the account and stop the trade, most of those Taiji who like pleasure will obediently bow down! ”

"Wonderful, that's wonderful!"

Deng Wentong stroked his palms and laughed, especially happy: "I never thought that a mere silver dollar could win the war, it is really incredible." ”

"Brother-in-law, people often say that money leads to the divine path, as long as you control the golden vein, you will control a qiē! He is the king of the world! ”

Zhang Ke's arrogant oath really touched Deng Wentong too much, and the charm of finance was unstoppable, which made people involuntarily sink into it. Deng Wentong indulged in it, and the scholar who talked about the economy in the first half of his life turned into a financial wizard, a financial celebrity who single-handedly promoted the progress of the empire......

Let's not talk about it for the time being, the abolition of Liaodong and the reform of the yuan are in full swing.

The first batch of 100,000 silver dollars was put on the market, and it soon became the most important currency in the market. Silver dollars are beautifully minted and easy to trade. It is very popular with the people.

Merchants, in particular, who deal with money every day, naturally see the advantages of the silver dollar, and although they know that the silver dollar is cheaper than silver, they have to use it.

From the initial rejection, to acceptance, and then to love and admiration, soon on the ground of Liaodong, if anyone still trades with silver, they will be ridiculed.

Imagine throwing out a few silver dollars at the same time. And the account was settled.

You also have to put the silver on the balance and weigh it, cut off a piece with scissors from time to time, and balance it for a long time before the transaction is successful. And what was left in his hand was a pile of shapeless broken silver, which was too different from the silver dollar.

Gradually, some landlords also accepted the silver dollar, and they fell in love with it madly, and they didn't care about it, and a large number of silver dollars were exchanged for huàn away. These people have a lot of money. I wasn't busy trading, but I even collected the silver dollars.

The number of silver dollars in the market decreased, and suddenly the price of silver dollars rose, and even a black market appeared. Some people exchanged 105 taels for huàn 100 silver dollars. Buying on a large scale, the appetite is getting bigger and bigger, it is simply a bottomless black hole, devouring a silver dollar that can be seen by a qiē.

There are also people who specialize in this business. Sell silver dollars to Kannai.

There are so many wealthy merchants in the mainland that the silver dollars sold in the past disappear in an instant, which is like a frenzy. Sweeping the northern half of China, the silver dollar has become the hottest topic. There are even counterfeit silver dollars in some places, which are confused and difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

……

The original abundance of silver dollars in the market was almost exhausted at once, and the people who were accustomed to silver dollar trading were willing to go back, and the merchants were even more complaining, hoping that the imperial court would crack down on the reselling of silver dollars.

But the more some things are suppressed, the stricter they are, and originally reselling was only a few merchants, but now it's good, every merchant who goes to Liaodong regards the silver dollar as a specialty, and no matter what, he has to get a little.

Since the end of spring ploughing and the beginning of summer, the price of silver dollars has risen three times a day, almost to the sky. On the one hand, there is large-scale reselling and smuggling, and on the other hand, the market is hungry and thirsty, and the currency crisis has broken out in this way!

Even the king of Liaodong Jinglu Zaijin and the governor Wang Huazhen couldn't sit still, whoever caused trouble looked for whom, and they went to Yizhou together,

After the Battle of Yingzhou, Zhang Ke recuperated from illness and pushed all affairs to his subordinates on the surface. This is also Zhang Ke's clumsy technique, after all, the gun shoots the first bird, even if there is a King Kong incorruptible body, he can't stand the endless entanglement of the official, and picks bones in the eggs every day. simply handed over everything, just to seem that he was quiet and indifferent, and he didn't care about fame and fortune.

Of course, Zhang Ke will not be ambiguous about the really important things, and Zhang Ke has to listen to reports every day about the silver dollar, and even go to the market to inspect it in person.

Wang Zaijin and Wang Huazhen came, and Zhang Ke was not surprised at all.

"Ministry Hall and Lord Zhongcheng, please take a seat, come here, hurry up and serve tea!"

His subordinates hurriedly poured tea, Wang Zaijin took a sip, and said with a smile: "This is the best Ming Qian, I can't imagine that Yongzhen still knows how to taste tea?" ”

"Lord Ministry, where do I understand! It's just to entertain distinguished guests before taking it out, I usually prefer and honey water, there is a sweet who suffers! ”

"Hahaha, what a young man after all!" Wang Zaijin laughed: "There is no sweetness without bitterness, and the real sweetness is when the bitterness comes to it." ”

Zhang Ke scratched his head and said with a smile: "The lesson of the ministry is that it is no wonder that after I drink honey water, I always feel sour in my mouth!" ”

"Alright, you two are really idle!" Wang Huazhen said unceremoniously: "Let's hurry up and think about how to save the city, Yongzhen, you can't let the silver dollar collapse, right?" ”

Zhang Ke looked at Wang Huazhen, who was extremely anxious, and smiled slightly: "Shibo don't be impatient, there is a shortage of silver dollars on the market, so we can just mint it." ”

"Say it lightly!" Wang Huazhen said: "To mint silver dollars, you need silver, you need craftsmen, you need workshops. Looking at the market, two or three hundred thousand silver dollars are not enough, and you may conjure up so many silver dollars in an instant? ”

Wang Zaijin also put down the teacup and said with a wry smile: "Yongzhen, in the spring, the silver dollar ran very well, why was it chaotic in the summer, the old man was really puzzled." ”

"The ministry, in fact, to put it bluntly, the people who hold the silver dollar in the spring are ordinary people and merchants, and they get the silver dollar and immediately spend it. And the big families, as well as the wealthy merchants in the mainland, when they saw the value of the silver dollar, they hoarded it frantically, and the monks had more porridge and less porridge, and it became the situation in front of them! ”

"Damn!" Wang Huazhen was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded bitterly: "These things, when they first proposed to abolish the two yuan, they were all opposed. As a result, Liaodong was temporary, and they came to dig the foot of the wall again, which is really killable! ”

Wang Huazhen said to Wang Zaijin: "Lord Ministry, in my opinion, it should be a thunderbolt method, and whoever dares to hoard Juqi will be punished immediately, and those who are strict will be cut on the spot." Anyway, we have the banner of the king's order, and killing a few profiteers is like killing a chicken! ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, people's lives are at stake, let's listen to Yongzhen's good way." Wang Zaijin looked at Zhang Ke with a smile.

Zhang Ke was smiling at this time, looking confident.

"When I was ploughing in the spring, I asked Gonggong Wei for a group of craftsmen who would mint copper coins, and they would all mint silver dollars now."

"So what are you waiting for? Why not cast? Wang Huazhen asked in surprise.

"Shibo, naturally I'm waiting for silver."

"Now it's there?"

"Almost, there are almost more than three million taels of silver in the bank's treasury now, and a large number of silver dollars can be minted at any time with an order."

As soon as these words came out, even the old and serious Wang Zaijin almost spewed a mouthful of old blood.

"Yongzhen, don't be kidding, the old man is still thinking about minting silver dollars for you with military salaries, where did you get more than three million taels of silver?"

Zhang Ke smiled and pointed to the west, and said, "Naturally, the Mongols sent it obediently!" ”

As soon as he became aware of the silver dollar crisis, Zhang Ke immediately implemented a new set of plays, and he immediately informed the Mongolian ministries that they would deposit silver in the bank and exchange it for huàn silver dollars after the autumn, and they could return three percent of the interest. And when you trade with Daming again, you can also get discounts.

Although they don't know what tricks they play, but the grassland tribes are still boiling, they are still hesitant to exchange silver for huàn silver dollars, and now when they hear that there is a discount, three percent, one million is thirty thousand, which is not less.

Immediately, a large amount of Mongolian Taiji presented the silver with both hands, and Meizizi exchanged it for a deposit receipt. Even Lin Dan Khan has changed 500,000 taels from afar, waiting for the autumn to enjoy interest and discounts.

"Yongzhen, you kid is too ruthless! You can't borrow silver at two cents of interest in the market, but you actually got three million taels from the Mongols at three percent interest! Old man, there is really nothing to say! Wang Zaijin said with a smile: "I think, I'm afraid that the Tartar's treasury has been emptied by you!" (To be continued......) R527
