Anyway, these merchants are always for profit, so they can't just exchange it for grain, which they have exchanged a lot of before, and every household is not short of grain now. Listen, listen! This is the work of the chief! There is one thing to say, counting from now on, which dynasty and which generation of emperors can do it, and every ordinary person is not short of food? !

Hum?! Have it?!

But since they are not short of food, but they are still short of other things, such as salt, they always have to buy some, and since these merchants are for food stamps, then whether it is salt or other things, they always have to be cheaper than the official family to exchange them for food stamps.

The old village chief naturally didn't mind opening this mouth.

In this way, they can exchange more necessities for life, but unfortunately, these merchants are there to exchange cloth from the chief, so it is estimated that they will not be able to exchange cheaper cloth.

But that's enough, people have to be content, these are all brought by the leader! Otherwise, would these traitors give them these mud legs to take advantage of such loopholes? Those who can survive the famine without increasing the price of grain and are too ruthless can be regarded as loyal and righteous merchants.

Zhao Qi didn't think about it so much, for him, whether it was a loss of food or salt, it was the same, in short, it was in exchange for more food stamps, so the old village chief's suggestion was naturally very useful to Zhao Qi, as long as it was not in the official exchange point, they could take it out.

For those things that are not available, they only need to convert them into a relatively favorable price, and the big deal is that they can exchange it for food stamps at a price that is not profitable, which is cheaper than the ones on the market. And things like food and salt, mainly these are the things that these ordinary people need the most, and they are also the easiest things.

At the beginning, when they were a family, they naturally didn't need to prepare these, if other merchants got the news later, these exchange people would naturally be the ones who needed the most.

So it's still good to prepare these things in advance.

Zhao Qi had an idea in his heart, and he could start to implement it after he went back, but before that, Zhao Qi still took the carriage and went to the official exchange point at the time when the least number of people directly exchanged a large amount of woolen cloth, and he also exchanged a small part of the cheaper burlap and fine linen.

After exchanging these things, because the speed of exchange today is relatively fast, Zhao Qi directly left Yiwu City with the goods as soon as possible and went to Gaochang, he didn't have to go to Gaochang City, just in the county near Gaochang, these things can be sold out!

However, what Zhao Qi didn't know was that not long after his caravan left, some news immediately began to circulate in some shops in Yiwu City, and it was naturally Mingyue who operated all this.

If these shops react on their own, it is estimated that it will take a few days, and this time is actually indifferent to Mingyue and them, but knowing their leader's plan, Mingyue naturally hopes that this matter will ferment more quickly.

That's why she pushed this matter from behind, although the overall thing seemed to be nothing, and these caravans seemed to have exchanged these food stamps directly to their official place to exchange them for woolen cloth.

In this case, it seems that the food stamps are not in circulation, but this is not the case, and in the process of these caravans, more and more merchants will subconsciously think that food stamps are a good thing.

Since it's a good thing, the next time someone makes a three-way deal with food stamps, they will naturally not refuse.

With the support of these different merchants, the three-way trade of the entire grain stamps will soon be popularized, and after this fact, the positioning of the entire official exchange point will automatically become an "exchange rate" popularization point, but it is obviously impossible for the current Han to implement the gold standard or the silver standard, and now the entire Han implements only one kind, that is, the grain standard.

I am afraid that for a considerable period of time in the future, there will still be insufficient food in this world, so as long as there is not enough food to eat, then the food standard can be implemented.

Until Huo Gang has saved enough gold, he can directly implement the gold standard at that time.

When the gold standard is implemented, both money and paper money will be implemented, and for the time being, the grain standard will still be implemented in this way.

However, in the case of food stamps, the only way to issue them is through the payment of wages to all in the territory. This is true for soldiers, officials, and other ordinary people.

For example, Shi Wannian and the city lords naturally also issued them food stamps, but they also had some "subsidies" for food stamps, and these subsidies were naturally subsidized according to the population in their families, so that they had enough food stamps to receive food.

Zhao Qi returned in only two days, just like he thought, he didn't need to go to Gaochang City at all, after all, Gaochang City was still a little far away from the entire Han Dynasty, he just went to the nearest county town in Gaochang and sold out all the wool cloth and other cloths.

Then Zhao Qi rushed to Yiwu City with the grain, salt and other materials purchased from these county towns, for them, time is money! The profit in these few days alone is more than the profit they made in a month before.

Of course, such a thing had to be done quickly, but what Zhao Qi didn't expect was that when he returned to Yiwu City, the guys who stayed in the store ran over as soon as possible.

"Shopkeeper, no, I don't know who sent the news out of you to exchange cloth from the exchange point in the past few days, and in the past few days of your absence, several merchants have sent people out!"

"This!" Zhao Qi was immediately shocked! "How did this news leak so quickly!"

"I don't know, but the shopkeeper, we still have an advantage now, after all, these merchants are in a hurry, and they don't have many supplies in their hands." The fellow immediately spoke, "And I've heard a piece of news. ”

"What's the news? Hurry up? Zhao Qi hurriedly spoke.

"I heard that some of their caravans are preparing to go to the area of Huo Cihai, because all the Turks have migrated to that side before, that is, the former Ake City, it is said that all the Turks have migrated there, and there are a lot of recruits, so they have a lot of food stamps in their hands."

"This, no, I have to discuss this matter with the master's family, in this way, you tell Lao Luo, let him continue to exchange these things for food stamps, I will rush back first, I will organize a batch of large goods to exchange."

"Yes!"

When Zhao Qi heard the news, he decisively put down the entire caravan, and then turned around and left Yiwu City, he knew that the next thing was the point, Huo Cihai He knew that the whole Yiwu City knew about it, it was the original Peacock Sea, but because the Peacock Sea dried up, and then because the leader of Huo Gang became what it is now, it was renamed Huo Cihai.

It is also said that a new river has appeared there, the Hoch, and all the Turks are there, and in any case, there are more food stamps there, and having food stamps means that they have more cloth, and it means more profit.

At least these wool cloths at present, there is no other place where new wool cloth is born, and not only wool cloth, even linen cloth is impossible to be as cheap as the big man, how do they achieve such a cost, it is really unimaginable.

But these things are none of Zhao Qi's business, he doesn't need to know this, he just needs it, he can buy these things, and then go to other places to sell them.

Just when Zhao Qi left and rushed to Gaochang Kingdom, a team of soldiers quickly entered Suoyang City in Guazhou and went straight to the military camp in the city.

After this group of soldiers entered the barracks, with one order after another, the hussar general, the supreme commander of the Suoyang City Unified Military Office, was replaced.

This kind of news, as the Liangguo public security Xinggui, who is in charge of the defense of the entire Liangzhou and Guazhou, naturally knows, not only knows, but the other party has already seen An Xinggui when he came here.

An Xinggui has returned to Wuwei, not that he is unwilling to stay in Suoyang City, but that the things on Guazhou's side are a bit unexpected by him, and the things he reported to Li Er are like a stone sinking into the sea, whether Li Er does not want to give him a secret letter, or whether the secret letter has not been delivered to Li Er's hands at all, An Xinggui is not clear.

But no matter which one it is, An Xinggui feels the strangeness in this, Huo Gang's power has been established, and now it is not something that he An Xinggui can do casually, so An Xinggui can only return to Wuwei's side, after all, there are still many military and political affairs in Liangzhou and Guazhou that he needs to deal with.

Especially recently, the Li family in Longxi even took the initiative to repair several official roads from Liangzhou to Guanzhong, the original roads of these official roads were very bad, affecting traffic, and the repair of their locations cost a lot of money, Liangzhou naturally did not have that money.

As for the treasury, don't even think about it, unless His Majesty Li Er wants to use troops against the Western Regions, otherwise, the roads here will not be repaired.

However, this time the Li family in Longxi actually took the initiative to repair the official road, and it was at his own expense, An Xinggui naturally had no reason to disagree, building roads and bridges has been a good deed since ancient times, so this matter is not only the Li family of Longxi, but the An family also contributed a sum of money.

The road repair has been summoned nearby to start construction, and even the Li family in Longxi has given enough salary, some of the roads have basically completed the preliminary repair, and the few sections of the road alone have reduced the journey required to enter Guazhou from Guanzhong by at least one or two days.

What are the reasons for these, of course An Xinggui knows, naturally it is the trade between the Li family of Longxi and Huo Gang that is constantly expanding!
