Li Qin's consideration is not unreasonable.

Even if the atmosphere in Xinxian County is good, the vast majority of businessmen are still cautious.

After all, people who are not prudent may have died eight times out of ten long ago.

What's more, the environment in Beijing is complicated, there are officials everywhere, and there are also children of officials and eunuchs everywhere, but if someone has bad intentions towards you, even if it is just remembered, this is absolutely terrifying.

But it seems to ...... This Liu Wenchang has no worries in this regard.

But seeing that he was in high spirits, he walked into the exchange with the flow of people.

Li Qin hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu Xian, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Why, you say." Liu Wenchang said again: "You and my brother, what can't you say." ”

"You need to be cautious in your daily life, I see that you are a very wise person, but you need to know that trouble comes from your mouth, and illness comes from your mouth. What you and I said today, I should have not heard, but ...... These words shall no longer reach the ears of others. ”

Liu Wenchang looked at Li Qin in surprise: "Brother Li is talking about ......"

"Wealth shall not be exposed."

Liu Wenchang suddenly realized, he suddenly thought of the cautious nature of the businessmen.

At first, he thought these people were ridiculous, but now Li Qin looked scared, but Liu Wenchang seemed to slowly understand something, in fact, Li Qin's expression at this time, and these words, were nothing less than in the depths of Liu Wenchang's heart, like a small pebble thrown into a pool of stagnant water, causing ripples, but he didn't make a sound, just smiled slightly, and said: "The student remembers, there is a reminder from Brother Lao Li." ”

The two of them went in, and the exchange occupied a large area.

And here, the first building to see is the Money Hall.

Here, it seems that there is also a sign to explain the role of this money hall.

To put it bluntly, you take real money and exchange it for something similar to a silver ticket.

In this era, Daming treasure banknotes have almost no credit at all.

In the East, the use of paper money has a long history, starting from the Song Dynasty with Jiaozi, and this banknote has continued to this day.

It's just that...... Whenever the country was weak, or after the imperial court was overdrawn, paper money slowly began to withdraw from the stage of history and was abandoned.

So at this time, someone hangs a sign of paper money exchange, in fact, there is no need to explain too much, people like Li Qin can understand in their hearts, this kind of paper money model, they can't understand it anymore, from Jiaozi to treasure money, this thing has appeared dozens of variants, but the final result is the same.

People have begun to have an instinctive distrust of paper money.

"Exchange banknotes, lose what they think, real money and silver go in, in exchange for a piece of paper, and so on, this paper will become less and less valuable, how can there be such a good money in the world."

Liu Wenchang smiled: "But Brother Li, although this is the case, but this thing, once it is there, it can't be separated." ”

When Li Qin heard this, he was stunned.

Because of this...... And it makes sense.

Especially now...... With the acceleration of the circulation of goods and commercial circulation, more and more large-scale goods transactions have been more and more, let's just say this stock, stock this thing...... A transaction is tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

What is the concept of a thousand taels of silver, this is a hundred catties.

Did you come here to exchange stocks with your burden?

Not to mention, there are some big merchants, how much is the amount of transactions.

On the one hand, it is indeed extremely inconvenient, and on the other hand, the fineness of gold and silver is different, which also brings a lot of trouble to the transaction.

Liu Wenchang sighed and said: "This hand is really powerful, as soon as the stock comes out, and then the paper money is promoted, this is forcing people, and it has to be changed." ”

Li Qin said: "Really? What is the reason for this? ”

Liu Wenchang said: "Because the trading of stocks, and the previous trading is not the same, the previous trading, you can still sit down, drink tea, and then sign and draw, and then wait for their respective housekeepers, agree on a day, everyone with their own goods and gold and silver, and then each on the scale delivery, even if it is delayed for a few days, even if it is ten days and half a month, it is not too much of an obstacle, although there are many inconveniences in this kind of transaction, but at least, everyone is at ease." ”

Liu Wenchang immediately said: "But now it's different, you know, now everyone is trading stocks, what are stocks?" The rise and fall of stocks, not to mention ten days and half a month, not to say one day or two days, is an hour and two hours, and the ups and downs are extremely amazing. Yesterday morning, the selling price of the railway company once reached 28 taels, but at noon, it suddenly fell to 27 taels, and in the evening, the price suddenly rose again, and I even heard that someone sold it for 29 taels. Let's talk about it, in the past, everyone could trade slowly, but how to ensure the success of this stock? If you are late, you may not have finished counting the silver, but the price has suddenly risen, so will the seller still sell it? If the price falls, will buyers still buy it? Once you have clarified this truth, you will know that stock trading is indispensable for paper money, and you can't do it if you don't exchange it, unless you ...... You really don't plan to buy or sell stocks, and even if you don't want to now, sooner or later you'll be pulled down. ”

"This is a long process, you see here, people only hang out a sign, exchange banknotes, but no one takes the initiative to invite you to exchange, this is called Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait. In the future, sooner or later, someone will not be able to bear it, and then later, even if you still refuse to use paper money, but when you want to buy stocks, people say that new shares must use paper money, so do you want to exchange it? Or one day, when you are going to sell stocks, and the buyer says, I only have paper money here, are you willing to sell him? If we think about it again, when more and more people start to hold this banknote, you go out of the stock exchange, you go to the silk shop to shop, you ask the store, I am here is the banknote, can I buy it? If the store insists on not collecting, then you will naturally enter the second silk shop, and people are willing to accept it, so those who are willing to collect paper money will become a deal. ”

Li Qin thought about it, and his face changed: "So people don't worry about whether we can redeem it at all, anyway, sooner or later?" ”

"Nature." Liu Wenchang sighed and said: "This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, now we can only count on it, this exchange ...... There is also this Liaodong county king, who sincerely wants to do business for 10,000 years, not only greedy for immediate profits, as long as he still cares about long-term interests and maintains the credit of paper money, he can let people take out real money and silver from paper money at any time, and his business will be nine out of ten. ”

Li Qin sighed: "Actually, I have always admired the king of Liaodong County, but I didn't expect that you admired him even more." ”

"Of course, he's like my parents."

"Ah......" Li Qin looked at Liu Wenchang in surprise: "You still know His Royal Highness the King of the County." ”

"I don't recognize him, but he has been famous for a long time, and I yearn for him, if it weren't for him, I would still be a poor creature who is confused and pedantic, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is my reborn parent, and it is for this reason that he taught me to find a way out."

Li Qin lowered his head, thoughtful, he couldn't help but think, why wasn't he like this, if it wasn't for Xinxian, he was only afraid of starving to death in Guanzhong.

In the new county, many Guanzhong people have a joke, saying that the people in this Guanzhong are in the capital, no matter how big the quarrel is, no matter how much they fight with each other, they may even intensify to the point of adding fists and feet, but as long as they talk about the king of Liaodong County, they will immediately have a common topic, and they will soon be able to hook shoulders and burn yellow paper to be brothers.

Liu Wenchang said at this time: "It's not good. ”

"What."

"I just talked about the new shares."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Wenchang became nervous at this time: "Do you remember that I told you that new shares may require paper money to be purchased?" ”

"This ...... It seems to have been said. ”

Liu Wenchang said anxiously: "Nine times out of ten, there is such a possibility, I need to go out immediately, let the steward, take my cart of silver, and hurry up to exchange the banknotes, if not...... When the new shares are released, it is too late to trade. ”

Li Qin comforted him: "Perhaps...... Or is it real money trading? ”

Liu Wenchang shook his head: "No, no, no, this king of Liaodong County will never do something for no reason, since he is determined to do it, then he must do it well, Brother Li, you wait a while, I have to inform you, it matters to exchange silver." ”

Liu Wenchang said goodbye and went out with a smoke.

And here, it's already bustling.

The stock exchange is extremely spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people.

Of course...... It's vertical.

In the lobby, red lanterns are hung.

A whole wall hangs the stock price of each period from early morning to now.

And the stock price is fundamentally everyone's record of trading here, which can be refreshed at any time.

All those who want to buy and sell can make a record, someone wants to spend what price to buy shares, just record, once the price arrives, the exchange guys, will automatically generate a transaction, and the buyer to do is to take the insurance ticket to receive the stock he bought, and the seller can go directly to collect the silver.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the exchange.

Only then did people find that here, the price refresh speed is far beyond what they imagined on weekdays.

It may be a stick of incense, the price has been refreshed three times, the price on the wall, constantly changing, there will be someone responsible for constantly taking off the original price brand, replacing it with the latest price.

This way of trading is really eye-opening, and everyone thought that the rise and fall of stocks in a few days may determine a person's fate.

Can ...... now Everyone has just discovered that a fluctuation of maybe half an hour is enough to determine a person's future.
