The opening ceremony of the Jingshi General Store of Daming Qianzhuang can be said to be very successful, strictly speaking, such a success is completely beyond Jiangxia's plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just on the first day, the exchange amount of the silver and treasure banknotes in the general shop was as high as 250,000 taels of silver, of course, there are many oddities, so I will not go into detail here.

For a currency that has already caused many people to suffer losses and lost its credibility, Yun Xian's original plan was to be able to absorb 30,000 taels of silver on the first day.

But now 250,000 taels have popped up all at once, which is simply unusual. We all know that the following three words that are unusual are "There must be demons." ”。

Jiang Xia asked people to check, and among the 250,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels were deposited by the same person. What is the identity of this person, Qianmen is still investigating.

After the opening of the Jingshi General Store of Daming Money Village on the first day, in the following time, several other Daming Money Houses in Jingshi, as well as money villages in various provinces, prefectures and counties outside Jingshi City, also began to open one after another.

Because the Daming treasure banknote has failed once before, there are still a lot of stumbling blocks from starting over. At least the attitude of the people of the Ming Dynasty towards the treasure banknote is still in a wait-and-see state.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter, because the state always has the means to make money circulate.

Jiangxia, for example, issued several orders.

First, from now on, all officials' salaries will be distributed in Daming treasure banknotes. Second, local agricultural taxes and commercial taxes are all allowed to collect treasure money. The exchange rate is still 1:1. Third, the government procurement funds will be allocated using Daming treasure banknotes.

With such three orders, the circulation of Daming treasure banknotes was basically promoted from the official compulsion. Then, with the passage of time, the Daming treasure banknotes will inevitably circulate slowly.

With Jiangxia's status, it is naturally impossible to continue to do everything by himself, and he can only control it at the macro level. However, for the implementation of the Daming treasure banknote, this matter is very important, and Jiang Xia's energy is still scattered a lot to pay attention to this matter.

In the first month, it can be said that everything went smoothly.

There are more and more people exchanging treasure money, although the amount is not large, but the number of people in all parts of the country is not small. Because of the exchange of silver, except for a part of the silver left in place for backup, the rest of the silver will be collected into the silver coffers of several provincial banks.

Therefore, the amount of silver circulating in the market will inevitably become less and less, and gradually, the circulation of treasure banknotes will become larger and larger.

At the same time, Daming Money's loan business and investment business are also developing vigorously. What is the most difficult part of bank loans? Undoubtedly, credit review and follow-up are the two that Qianmen excels in.

Everyone who applies for a loan in Daming Qianzhuang will submit information to Qianmen people for inquiry before allocating funds, and after the inquiry is correct, Qianzhuang will allocate funds to ensure that there will be no mistakes in lending.

As for the investment, this is the simplest, spend 100,000 taels of silver in Longjing Village, Hangzhou to buy all the spring tea. After the spring tea is picked, it will be transported to Fujian and sold, and the profit can be multiplied several times as soon as it is out and out.

In short, everything in the money bank is developing in a good place for the time being.

But what is the most fearful thing about starting such a banking business?

The first is of course the counterfeit money passing off as the real thing, and the second is that the hard-pass money store is too low the amount of paper money in circulation, causing inflation. Finally, there is the run on the storm.

In the final analysis, the foundation of banking business is still the word "reputation", once the reputation system collapses, then the entire banking business and the banking economic system will also fall into collapse.

Currency has no credibility, and the consequence of bringing it out is that the entire currency loses its value and becomes waste paper. If such a situation really happens, then the entire Ming economy will regress I don't know how much.

In an old mansion not far from Eryuanli, Qi Wu, who was wearing a silver mask, sat in the study, looking at a wooden box that his henchman had just delivered, his eyes were a little deep.

She reached for the lid of the wooden box and tapped it gently, failing to remove it.

It can be seen that Qi Wu seems to be hesitating about something.

Finally, she sighed slightly, and opened the lid of the wooden box. Inside the wooden box, neatly placed is a stack of Daming treasure banknotes. And all the denominations are the largest of one hundred taels.

Qi Wu took out a treasure note from the box, and then took out another treasure bill from his arms. She specially pulled the oil lamp on the table closer to herself, and then carefully compared it under the oil lamp.

The same is paper made of cotton linters, and the same is a pigment made of Hui Qing ink. The two treasure bills are almost identical.

That's right, the treasure money that Qi Wu took out of the wooden box was fake.

She knew exactly what she was doing, which is why she hesitated. Because she knows that now the Daming treasure banknotes have begun to circulate. Once you circulate this forged Daming treasure banknote, I am afraid that the result will cause a lot of people to die.

After thinking about it again and again, Qi Wu finally put the family's treasure money on the oil lamp and set it on fire and burned it to ashes.

Qi Wu casually closed the lid of the wooden box and walked out of the study with the wooden box.

Outside the study, Qi Wu's henchmen and subordinates were standing there. Qi Wu handed him the wooden box in his hand and said lightly: "Destroy the engraving plate, and then burn all the fake treasure banknotes that have been made." That's the end of the plan. ”

The henchman glanced at Qi Wu with some surprise, and then immediately nodded: "Yes, the subordinates will do it immediately." ”

Watching his henchmen leave, Qi Wu sighed slightly, turned around and walked in the direction of his boudoir.

Let's talk about Qi Wu's henchman Geng Li.

Geng Li was originally a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and he belonged to the kind of person who specialized in taking people's money and doing things for others. It's kind of like a mercenary profession.

It's just because of an accident that Geng Li took on the next task and got into trouble with a big guy who shouldn't be messed with. And he happened to have just finished doing something for Qi Wu before, so Qi Wu helped Geng Li.

Qi Wu exchanged a full 50,000 taels of silver for Geng Li's safety, and since then Geng Li has been by Qi Wu's side and exists as her henchman.

Geng Li got Qi Wu's clear order to destroy everything about the forged treasure money immediately, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately went to the forged workshop.

The workshop is in the depths of the Ohachi Hutong, in a very inconspicuous small courtyard.

Although it seems that the scale is not large, only people like Geng Li, who participated in the whole process, know how much manpower and financial resources were spent on this workshop.

Geng Li didn't knock on the door, but jumped directly into the courtyard.

The backyard of the courtyard was brightly lit, and two men in black stood outside the workshop and watched, and the workers in the workshop were in full swing.

"Ahem. Geng Li coughed softly.

The two men in black immediately turned to look at Geng Li, both of them showed a flattering look on their faces, and one of them shouted, "Brother Geng Li, are you still staring at it so late?"

Another man in black smiled and said, "Brother Geng Li, you seem to be too distrustful of us. With our brothers watching, nothing will go wrong with the storage. In the past few days, we have been working overnight, and the treasure money that has been made is nearly one million taels. If all this is converted into silver, then I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it all in a few lifetimes. ”

"That's it, this time the master will be rich, and I don't know if she will reward us with a little silver at that time. ”

Geng Li glanced at the two Tian brothers in front of him, these two were old partners who had been swordsmen with him for several years. This time, Qi Wu needed manpower, but he couldn't find someone he could trust for a while, so Geng Li found the two Tian brothers.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for a year, and the two brothers seem to have changed a lot compared to before. It's a little more like a flim tongue. Geng Li, who has always had a dull and upright personality, is not a person who likes flamboyant tongue very much.

Geng Li frowned slightly, and then said bluntly: "Don't think about that, the master asked me to burn all the fake treasure banknotes and destroy the engraved plates." ”

"Burn...... Burned?" Boss Tian Chong looked at Geng Li in surprise, although he knew that Geng Li was a person who never joked, but he still wondered if Geng Li was joking.

Tian Hu was also puzzled, and asked: "Why did you burn it? This is all hard to come out, we have all seen it, and it is almost exactly the same as the real treasure banknote, and it can be messed with at all." These are not ordinary waste paper, these are silver, white silver. ”

Geng Li's brows tightened, and he looked at the two of them and said lightly: "The master said it, all burned." ”

"This ......" Tian Chong and Tian Hu both had painful expressions on their faces, and Tian Hu couldn't help but say, "That...... Can we keep a little bit of it for our brother to spend on himself?"

Geng Li looked at Tian Hu and said, "It's all burned, not some." ”

"I ......" Tian Hu was a little displeased, but Tian Chong pulled Tian Hu by the hand, nodded and said, "Okay, well, since it was ordered by the master, and it was Brother Geng Li who came to do things, we won't say anything." Burn, burn, burn. ”

Geng Li glanced at the two of them, and then walked in the direction of the workshop.

As soon as he passed by Tian Chong's side, suddenly Geng Li felt a strong wind coming, and it turned out that Tian Chong was holding a dagger and stabbing Geng Li's waist at a rapid pace.

Geng Li turned sideways to dodge, grabbed Tian Chong's hand and glared at him and shouted coldly: "Look for death!"

"It's you who is looking for death!" Tian Hu shouted, and with a wave of his right hand, he threw a handful of lime into Geng Li's eyes. Geng Zhong's eyes closed immediately as soon as he was in pain.

At this moment, Tian Chong and Tian Hu hurriedly seized the opportunity and stabbed Geng Li with daggers together.

Geng Li suddenly lost his sight, so he couldn't react at once. The Tian brothers' two daggers were inserted into Geng Li's chest almost at the same time.

Geng Li held the hands of the two tightly, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.

Tian Chong and Tian Hu glanced at each other, and immediately pulled Geng Li's corpse and ran to the workshop. r1058
