From the mouths of the Okabe brothers and other retainers, Gao Xianda had a general understanding of the current economic situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

During the Warring States period of Japan, the main currency in circulation was copper coins, and the usual money was 1,000 copper coins. However, because Japan's gold and silver mines were unevenly divided, and there was no unified government to regulate the exchange of gold and silver, the exchange of gold and silver under the rule of each daimyo was different.

In general, the eastern region prefers to use silver, while the western region prefers to use gold. But in fact, the difference is only the exchange rate, as long as it is real money, there is no worry about not being able to spend it.

The Imagawa family, the Takeda family, and the Hojo family all have gold mountains in their territories, and they usually pay great attention to mining. So in the eastern regions, gold was a more widely circulated currency, resulting in a higher exchange price for silver than elsewhere.

The general exchange rate is that one tael of gold can be exchanged for 10 yuan, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 5 yuan. But silver ingots like the ones that Gosenda took out were of high purity and in gorgeous condition, and if they were sold as collectibles, the price would be even higher.

Gao Xianda was quite fortunate that when he left the copy of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he took a box of silver out as a backup.

He later counted that in this large box were 500 ingots and 16 taels of silver, and 8,000 taels of silver. If you exchange it for copper coins here, it will be 40,000 kan.

That's a lot of silver, but few merchants can eat it all.

Of course, if Goldenda wants to buy expensive goods, it can pay the silver directly.

After Tomono Jiro Beiwei of Tomono House got that big silver last time, as the royal merchant of the Imagawa family, he also came to Gao Xianda and asked Gao Xianda if he had any needs recently.

"Demand? Absolutely! "I want to eat meat." "Gao Xianda has never shied away from his thoughts, what does the ban on meat issued by the emperor hundreds of years ago have to do with me?

Although some of the so-called merchants are like department stores, mainly selling some valuables to make money, they also have no meat there.

"Your Highness, forgive the villain for being incompetent, I can't meet this request of yours." Jiro Bei said, "I believe that the adults will be able to find a solution on their own, such as large pieces of fish and meat." ”

It seems that the news of Co-Xianda buying fish at a high price has spread.

Gao Xianda said: "Since you can't meet such a simple request, then do you have anything else?" ”

Erlang Bingwei said: "The villain came this time to ask the adults if they have any needs for valuables?" I have here a copy of The Tale of Genji that I just copied from Kyoto, a tea vessel made by the tea man Chisho Yixin from Kaimachi, a famous sword cast by Fujishiro Yoshimitsu, and some gadgets that I have searched for from all over the world. ”

"So you're a salesman." Gao Xianda said with a smile. I didn't expect a big merchant like Tomonoya to do door-to-door delivery services like merchants. It makes Gao Xianda feel like he is a courier.

But since he came, it was not good to drive him away directly. Gao Xianda looked through what he had brought.

Sure enough, as he said, he brought a lot of good things. Books, tea utensils, katanas, and a bunch of bits and pieces.

The three things he took out and talked about alone were relatively high in value, and the value of the items was 5 or more, which was a rare object. Other so-called bits and pieces, with a value of 4 or below, are also sold in large quantities in other merchants.

And among his so-called bits and pieces, there was a snow-bright ingot of official silver.

Gao Xianda remained silent and asked about the value of the valuables first.

"The Tale of Genji": Blue props, general Japanese books, worth 6, carry around to enhance 5 points of personal charm, 495 times.

"One Strike": Blue weapon, Japanese war knife, value 5, high damage, 274 and 500 texts.

"Mountain Well Shoulder Rush": Blue props, tea bottles, worth 5, can hold a tea party, 193 500 texts.

I don't know how it came about, but Gao Xianda knows the truth of no treacherous business, especially when someone delivers goods to your door.

And those bits and pieces are much cheaper. There are also some books, tea sets, weapons and the like, but the value ranges from a few to dozens of times.

"You're a good thing, how do you sell it?" Gao Xianda slowly picked up his ingot of silver at this time and asked.

Erlang Bingwei smiled: "My lord, you are really joking, isn't this silver yours?" You exchanged it for some fish, and everyone in Junfu Town heard about it. If you want to buy it back, I'll just charge you the cost price. What do you think of 200? ”

As soon as Gao Xianda heard it, he knew what it meant to be a traitor.

At the current exchange rate, his ingot of silver is worth 80 yuan. And Jiro Bingwei doubled and a half times in one mouth.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Erlang Bingwei, he also has his own mental journey.

After he recovered the ingot of silver at a price of 80 yuan, he went through a detailed appraisal and was convinced that the silver was a treasure from the Ming Kingdom. Both in terms of purity and shape, it can be called a work of art. Of course, it's silver made in the official treasury after all! Although he couldn't understand the words engraved under the official silver, he thought that the silver might be an antique, and he was even more convinced of the preciousness of the silver.

Therefore, he felt that this ingot of silver must have been received by Imagawa Yoshimoto from the Ming Kingdom at a high price, and it should be regarded as a good thing for family heirlooms. As a result, in the hands of the Imagawa clan, a loser, it was spent.

If he knew that such a treasure had been spent by his son, Imagawa Yoshimoto would definitely have to be anxious. Then the Imagawa clan is sure to be in a hurry to redeem it.

This time, when Gao Xianda asked him about the price of the silver, he revealed that he wanted to redeem it. If Erlang Bingwei doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune at this time, he will be so sorry for himself.

Gao Xianda looked at him and said, "Cost price?" Are you sure? ”

Erlang Bingwei nodded, "Really, really! ”

Gao Xianda asked again: "Can't it be cheaper?" ”

Erlang Bingwei was even more sure that Gao Xianda wanted to redeem it, and at this time, he couldn't reduce the price, so he said with a painful face: "Your Highness, I really took it back with this price!" ”

Gao Xianda said: "Are you sure you are talking about 200 guan?" It's not 20, it's not 100, it's 200? ”

Erlang Bingwei gritted his teeth and said, "Sure." ”

Gao Xianda nodded and said, "It seems that it is really the cost price!" Good! Then I can't let you suffer! I still have five ingots of silver here, please collect them at cost price as well! ”

As he spoke, Gao Xianda auctioned out five identical ingots of silver.

Jiro Beiwei was stupid all of a sudden, it turned out that he didn't want to recycle, but to sell it again!

He hurriedly cried and said, "My lord, I want to accept it, but I don't have so much cash here!" ”

Gao Xianda smiled: "It's okay, you can exchange your valuables!" ”
