Chapter 500: Yamatai's Ambition
The robbery caused a lot of uproar.
But with the advent of banknotes, they soon fell silent again, and with the work arranged by Yang Zhao, banknotes officially entered the sight of those businessmen.
The first real merchant exchanged banknotes, successfully left Luoyang, returned to Julu County, and successfully passed the banknotes in Julu's money bank, and the matter of exchanging back coins spread out, directly pushing the banknotes to a new peak.
These large banknotes are specially numbered.
If you exchange money at the money bank to a merchant in need, you will register various identity information according to the number, even if you let the thieves rob it, but when you go to the money bank to exchange coins, as long as the identity information does not match, you can't exchange it.
will even be arrested by the money bank.
This kind of anti-theft measure is highly sought after by merchants, who are more enthusiastic about paper money.
Banknotes were successfully promoted, and more and more people used them.
In the beginning, it was used by merchants, who used large banknotes, which were equivalent to certificates of deposit, but over time, some small banknotes also began to circulate.
For example, it is a banknote of ten coins and fifty coins.
In addition, there are also one-money and two-money, which are convenient for people who use paper money, shopping change, etc.
When people go out to shop, they no longer need to carry heavy copper coins, or gold and silver coins, which completely liberates the money bag, spends money more easily, and can stimulate economic growth.
At this time, Yang Zhao picked up two 100-dollar banknotes and looked at them, and said with a smile: "You guys are promoting it very quickly!" The official robbery has also had a very good effect, Wen You has done a good job, and our bandits have all withdrawn, right? ”
"It's all withdrawn."
Li Ru nodded and said: "If I don't withdraw, they will have to nag me, as the leader of the bandits, during this time, the pressure I have withstood is not small!" ”
Zhen Yan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but smile and said, "Wen You is capable, what is this pressure?" ”
Li Ru echoed and smiled: "As long as the banknotes of the money village are effective, it can make the current business more prosperous, get more taxes, and I can bear the pressure." ”
Paper money has been introduced, and the business tax they have recently received has almost doubled.
That's a great start.
"Our bank, it's not enough to make a profit."
Yang Zhao continued: "Next, I want to launch a loan business. ”
Lu Zhu first asked puzzledly: "What is a loan?" ”
"It's about borrowing money!"
Yang Zhao explained to them: "Our money bank, you can lend to everyone, as long as you pass our review to ensure that there is no problem with the credit, you can borrow money from the bank, of course, these borrowed money, not in vain, when repaying, you need to pay interest, that is, in addition to repaying the principal, you have to pay an extra amount of money." ”
Interest is something they can all understand.
As soon as you hear it, you will understand.
Li Ru asked curiously: "So there are still people willing to borrow money?" ”
Before Yang Zhao could explain, Zhen Yan first said: "There must be someone who is willing, many businessmen do business, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow from the bank, we have seen a lot of people who want to buy certain goods, but the money is not enough, and they raise money everywhere." ”
Lu Zhu echoed: "Such a person does have, our bank, with loans as the main way to make profits, this is feasible." ”
"So you guys expand your business."
Yang Zhao briefly told them what he knew and what he could carry out the money business.
Zhen Yan and Lu Zhu are both old fritters in business, and they can understand what Yang Zhao said as soon as they hear it.
Li Ru didn't know much about business, but when he saw that Yang Zhao could say so much casually, he naturally admired it in his heart, and felt that the lord could do anything, both civil and military, and even so proficient in business.
It should be arranged, Yang Zhao has almost arranged it.
Zhen Yan and Lu Zhu went back to prepare first to expand the business of Qianzhuang.
Then, Li Ru also left.
Yang Zhao briefly dealt with some government affairs, and then asked people to contact Ma Jun, who made weapons in Yecheng, to see how the progress of mining was, and whether any new weapons had been created.
and that knowledge, Yang Zhao copied it down again and asked someone to send a copy to Ma Jun.
In addition, he also printed a few copies, first stored in the General's Mansion, these knowledge can be comprehended and applied now, let Ma Jun take people to comprehend as much as possible, if you can't do it, you can store it first, and wait for the future people to slowly comprehend and develop.
What he can do now, he does as much as he can.
Fast on, it's the beginning of February.
The weather is getting warmer and the snow and ice are melting.
Yang Zhao's next plan was to capture Guanzhong, but he did not immediately send troops to attack Hangu Pass, and not long after the end of last year's campaign, the army also had to recuperate for a while.
It's the third day of February.
Yang Zhao got a report from the people below that Gouwei Xiu was here again.
Their ship came to the edge of Luoyang through the Yellow River, and after the ship docked, Gouwei Xiu got the consent, and then entered Luoyang, and finally was summoned by Yang Zhao.
"Finally see the general again!"
As soon as Gouwei Xiu came, he said excitedly: "I came a few times last year, and the general didn't come back from the battle outside, and I thought I would miss the general this year." ”
Yang Zhao smiled and said: "This year, I am waiting for the envoys to come, do you still have a large amount of silver on your ship?" ”
"That's right!"
Dogtail Xiu nodded and said, "We want to continue exchanging weapons with the Great General." ”
Yang Zhao said curiously: "There should be a lot of weapons you have exchanged back, and now there are still so many, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to use them up?" ”
Gouwei Xiu didn't hide it, and even said with a little pride: "We are ready to attack Benhan, Ma Han and Chen Han, and the more weapons there are, the better." ”
"Oh?"
After Yang Zhao heard this, he looked at Gouwei Xiu's eyes, and he was a little unfriendly, but he quickly reined in and said, "Your goal is not small!" ”
Benhan, Mahan, and Jinhan are the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
In the next generation, it is probably the place of Xiao Xipa.
In the north, there are still four counties of the Han Dynasty, and now they have been recovered by Yang Zhao, and they are still the places of the Han Dynasty.
If the timeline is pushed back a little further, most places such as Liaodong and the northern part of the peninsula are called Goguryeo, and the later Xiaoxiba is only a part of Goguryeo.
The Samhan region already borders Dahan.
After cultivating them and unifying the entire island nation, they began to expand to the peninsula, and their ambitions began to be revealed.
Yang Zhao even felt that this Evil Horse Terrace could not stay, and now he just wanted to get their silver, and he would not do it for the time being, and he did not have time to cross the ocean to destroy this small island.
"Expanding the frontier has always been what we wanted."
Gouwei Xiu hadn't noticed Yang Zhao's killing intent at him, and said with a smile: "Benhan and the others, they are very weak, so a large piece of land is in front of them, and they won't fight in vain, but the general, please rest assured, we won't have any thoughts about your big man's place." ”
He also knew that he was worried that doing so would make Dahan angry.
The current Yamatai is far from having the strength to fight against the big man.
If there is, it is not as simple as fighting Sanhan, but directly sending troops to Donglai County in Qingzhou.
