Chapter 756 Earned in tears(2/2)
Han Du watched Second Sister Shi's face turn red and white without saying anything. This was something Han Du had planned. After all, the difference in the exchange of treasure banknotes was too obvious. In the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver could be exchanged for one treasure banknote.
It takes ten taels of silver to exchange for a treasure banknote. No one is a fool, there will always be people who will raise objections.
Han Du can't just eliminate all the people who raise objections. Without people, who will Daming trade with?
In this case, there must be a reason for the world to accept it. It just so happens that the world is extremely interested in the fineness of gold and silver. The higher the fineness of gold and silver, the greater the value, and may even reach more than ten times that of equally important gold and silver.
.
Han Du seized on this point and claimed that the silver that could be exchanged for treasure banknotes had a fineness of 95%. The value of silver with this fineness was almost ten times that of ordinary silver. This was because of the silver purification technology.
In this era, it is still very complicated. To purify ordinary silver to 95%, it requires such a huge expense.
In this way, people will be more accepting of it.
And Han Du has the technology to purify silver. Even if someone doubts it in the future, Han Du can instantly purify a large amount of 95% silver from ordinary silver. Others do not have this technology, so they can only bite it.
The teeth suffer from dumbness.
"Uncle, is it too high to exchange ten taels for a consistent price? For the sake of the Shi family's attachment to the Ming Dynasty, can it be lower?" Sister Shi still felt that such an exchange would be too much of a disadvantage.
Han Du shook his head and refused to let go at all, "No matter who exchanges the treasure notes from Uncle Ben, it will be at this price. Of course, if you have the ability to exchange it for someone else at a higher price, Uncle Ben will not care about it."
"Okay, I'll change." Sister Shi was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Han Du. Although she wanted to ask Han Du, did the Ming Dynasty have so much silver with a fineness of 95%?
The Ming Dynasty banknotes were so exquisite that she might actually be able to make a profit by exchanging them.
Who told Fu Yong and others to only recognize treasure banknotes now, not gold and silver? If she wants to buy Ming Dynasty goods, she must use treasure banknotes. Therefore, she can't exchange them even if she doesn't want to.
The Shi family exchanged all the hundreds of thousands of coins in Han Du's hands in one go, found Fu Yong and others, and bought all their goods at a slightly higher price. In one fell swoop, they monopolized all the Ming Dynasty goods in the entire old port.
The goods, if they hadn't had Han Du backing them up, they might have been torn alive by the jealous people around them.
Unlike the high-spirited Shi family, Fu Yong and others were almost on the verge of tears and came to Han Du to cry.
"Uncle, help me!"
