Chapter 112: The Copper Coin Business That Profiteer Shen Wansan Will Not Lose Money

Suzhou is also called "Gusu", and there is a secret cave in Suzhou, which makes Zhang Wuji always feel a little familiar. I think I've heard of it somewhere.

But now he also noticed a practical problem, and that is that the money is in the city of Suzhou.

It is not difficult for himself and his subordinates to sneak into Suzhou City, if it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, with these top masters of them, one person can take it all if he carries a little on his back.

But these millions of taels of silver, even if they are pulled by horse-drawn carriages, I am afraid that they will have to carry a lot of carts. And if it is known that the Su family is so rich, then not to mention that Zhang Shicheng will occupy this silver, even the other people in Suzhou City are afraid that there are many people who are red-eyed.

Zhang Wuji muttered: "This money is in Suzhou City, if you want to get the money, you can only kill Zhang Shicheng first?" ”

Su Mengqing said at this time: "Yes." I don't think that's a difficult thing for Mowgli to be your current strength. Moreover, Suzhou is also a land of abundant money and grain, and there are not a few wealthy merchants. In addition to the five million taels of gold and silver of our Su family. There are also nearly 10 million copper coins hidden in the city of Suzhou. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he asked, "Oh? How did Sister Su know about this? ”

Su Mengqing wiped away her tears at this time, she sat back at the table, and then continued to cook tea.

Huo Jia and Su Mengqing can be said to have met late, Huo Jia is proficient in the tea ceremony, and Su Mengqing is more proficient than her.

The only difference between the two is that Hoga is proficient in the tea ceremony of the old Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty came to the dynasty, and the tea culture of Middle-earth also spread to Persia. That's how Hoga learned.

But Su Mengqing is a Jiangnan woman who likes to drink tea the most. Hogana points out the doorway, and in front of her is the class gate with an axe.

After Su Mengqing poured a full cup of tea for Zhang Wuji, he said, "Sit down and let's talk slowly." ”

Zhang Wuji immediately sat in front of Su Mengqing, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Good tea, good tea!" ”

Zhang Wuji naturally doesn't know what tea ceremony is, and after this tea is eaten, he only drinks a bitter and astringent taste, and he really can't taste the "fragrance". When he said this, he was just a vassal elegance.

Su Mengqing said: "Those copper coins were all purchased by Shen Wansan. I also heard about this from a friend in the rivers and lakes. In the past, I was a philanthropist and recruited a lot of people from three religions and nine streams. You must know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and to be a successful businessman, you must keep abreast of the trends of all parties. Therefore, intelligence is very important. It's like an invisible net that inadvertently packs everyone in. ”

Zhang Wuji's pupils shook when he heard this, and he felt that he might have underestimated the woman in front of him a little.

Su Mengqing's current identity, if it is placed in the Water Margin, it will definitely be "timely rain Song Jiang".

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is the chief scoop of the nine provinces of the green forest, "Shan Xiongxin".

If it were in an anime that didn't move, she would be the leader of the pervasive organization that infiltrated the Six Nations.

It's just that Su Mengqing's pattern is a bit small, and she accommodated so many people. I just came to find out about my family's business. What a waste of such a good resource.

And the news that Shen Wansan hid the copper coins was heard from the steward of the Shen Mansion by a Qin Huai singer girl who was sponsored by Su Mengqing.

Su Mengqing said: "Before the rebels captured Jianghuai, Shen Wansan sent people to spread rumors, saying that all the copper coins of the old yuan would be invalidated. The new money of the new dynasty is half copper and half lead, and the old money of Dayuan copper four lead six will not be replaced. If you want to exchange, you can also exchange one for three, and one for four. There are even rumors that one for five or six. ”

When the people heard the news, they were terrified. Fear that what little property he has left will shrink. So they sold the copper coins in their hands and exchanged them for silver. Originally, according to the official system, one tael of silver could be exchanged for money, that is, a thousand copper coins. ”

But because the people were very frightened by this rumor, the price of copper coins fell sharply. In the end, it came to the price of two taels of silver for two thousand yuan, or even two thousand five hundred yuan. Taking advantage of the low price of copper coins, Shen Wansan sent people to secretly collect most of the copper coins in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River. In recent years, there has not been any famine in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and with the appetite of the Shen family, at least nearly 10 million copper coins have been swallowed. ”

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He was furious at the moment, though it wasn't a shame for a merchant to hoard goods.

But Shen Wansan's move is no longer a commercial competition, but a harm to the people. The people listened to these rumors and threw away their possessions for silver. In just an instant, his family property shrank by half.

Shen Wansan's move was faster than the bandits robbing money. The gang who sold bread for 500,000 gold marks is estimated to be admired.

Zhang Wuji asked: "I remember that Zhang Shicheng has been entrenched in Jianghuai for several years, didn't the people find out that this was a scam?" ”

Su Mengqing replied: "Naturally, no, because there are fewer copper coins on the market." And Zhang Shicheng didn't have enough copper mines to mint too much new money. Therefore, the price of Zhou Wang Tongbao naturally rose. Some people are even glad that they have listened to this rumor and exchanged the old money for silver. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Oh! I get it! It is precisely because there are fewer copper coins and the new money is expensive that it makes up for the difference in the exchange of money, so this lie is made up. ”

Su Mengqing looked at Zhang Wuji as if he didn't understand, and continued to explain: "That's right. Originally, the new dynasty was unstable, and there was not much time to mine copper ore to make money. If the Son of Heaven issued new money, then he could only collect the old money of the previous dynasty, exchange the old money for the old money, and melt the old money into new money, and gradually replace all the old money. ”

This is also where Shen Wansan's business opportunities lie in hoarding goods. He bought copper coins for two thousand pieces of silver for a tael, or fifteen hundred dollars. ”

"When the new dynasty is decided and the government exchanges the old with the new, he can exchange the old money in his hand for the government at the price of 1,000 yuan for one tael of silver. In this way, his profit will be doubled. Even if it is for every two pieces of silver for one thousand, one thousand two, he will have to earn. If you're lucky, that's a 10% profit. ”

Zhang Wuji's face was a little ugly, his hand under the dragon robe was tightly clenched, and he then asked: "Then he hasn't sold this silver yet, I think he is waiting and seeing, who will die in this world?" ”

Su Mengqing nodded and said, "Yes." Now what he is waiting for is the stability of the world. In the future, whether the righteous army wins or the Yuan army wins, he will not lose this deal. If Wuji or other princes win the world, then they all need to mint new money, and he can get ten percent of the profit if he takes out the money. ”

"And if the Yuan army quells the 'rebellions' in various places and regains control of the artifact, then his money can still be circulated and used. Then the profit he has obtained is still ten percent. It even eliminates the hassle of smelting new money. ”

"But if the new dynasty is settled and he doesn't need the copper coins in his hand, then it doesn't matter. He bought copper coins at a very low price. He could melt the copper coins in his hand into bronze utensils and sell them. Although the profits obtained are not as much as those of these two roads, I estimate that they can also make three or four percent of the profits. The deal is still profitable. ”
