After all, a family's annual income, converted into common currency, is only a dozen or twenty guan. A 100-guan banknote is equivalent to their entire income for five years. How can ordinary people afford it?
?
The purpose of printing large-denomination banknotes in Korea was mainly for use in bulk commodity transactions, as well as for the payment of salaries to officials, and as rewards for Lao Zhu.
Large-denomination banknotes have limited uses, so Han Du will naturally not print too many. In fact, what Han Du wants most is to print banknotes of less than 100 renminbi, because only treasure banknotes of less than 100 renminbi can fundamentally be printed.
A true replacement for using copper coins.
But there is no way. The production cost of current banknote paper is too high. If it is used to print one-pen or five-cent treasure banknotes, it will be a loss.
Lao Zhu is very poor now. If he knew that the treasure banknotes he was counting on to make a fortune not only did not bring him a penny of wealth, but also caused Lao Zhu to lose money. Although Lao Zhu may not necessarily cut Handu
His head, but at least he would hang Han Du up and beat him.
Therefore, Handu could only put aside the idea of printing small-denomination treasure banknotes for the time being, and only wait until the production cost of banknote paper decreases one day before printing.
Four hundred thousand guan, compared to the Ming Dynasty's current demand for 40 to 50 million guan of treasure banknotes, is naturally a drop in the bucket. However, Han Du does not want to replace all the treasure banknotes with new ones at once, but slowly
Let it out little by little.
Nodding, Han Du said: "Tell the craftsmen to let them work harder during this period, and try to print as many treasure coins as possible to prepare. When the work is completed, I will be generously rewarded."
When Xiong Shi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Then I will thank you for them."
Han Du responded to Xiong Shi with a smile, and continued to instruct: "In addition, you should try your best to rotate them so that they can rest, and the meals prepared in the canteen should also be richer. These craftsmen are my treasures.
, don’t let me use it up.”
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates have already made arrangements."
Both the banknotes and the banknotes needed to be made, and the Banknote Bureau and the Banknote Printing Bureau were already very busy. For this reason, Han Du had to temporarily stop the work after the wall was built in accordance with Li Wenzhong's requirements.
plans to continue building the house.
With the fence, it is now easier to protect the Banknote Bureau and the Printing Bureau. As for the house, we can only wait until the busy period is over.
Xiong Shi saw that Han Du was silent and silent. After a while, he asked tentatively: "Sir, are you still worried about something?"
Han Du came back to his senses, shook his head and replied casually: "Nothing."
In fact, Han Du was thinking about things in the shop just now.
Although Lao Zhu directly gave the shop to Han Du, all the people inside were transferred back by Lao Zhu.
There is no one in Han Du's shop now. If he wants the shop to open, he must first invite the assistants and shopkeepers. After all, Han Du cannot handle the business of buying and selling mirrors himself.
The clerks were easy to deal with, just go to the dental shop to recruit a few, but the shopkeeper turned out to be a problem.
Originally, Han Du thought that recruiting a shopkeeper was like looking for a clerk, so he just asked Yahang to help find him. He didn't know until he asked Uncle Mu to go and come back.
It turns out that Ya Bank has no way to help Han Du recruit shopkeepers. Shopkeepers at this time are professionals. The shopkeepers of various trading firms are almost all trustworthy people trained by each firm. These people will not leave at all unless
It was just like what Fuqi Trading Company did last time. It was completely destroyed. Fuqi Trading Company couldn't take care of it anymore. That's why the shopkeepers under it ended up living outside.
Even so, these shopkeepers will not be reduced to the point where they need Yahang to find a meal for them.
As soon as they came out, they were poached by other trading houses that had been targeting them for a long time.
Han Du's desire to recruit shopkeepers through a dental shop is similar to later generations' desire to find professional managers with an annual salary of one million on recruitment websites.
At this time, Han Du realized why Zhu Biao kept coming to him when Yu Shaodong was unlucky, asking him to find a way to help him recruit Yu Shaodong.
If not for anything else, it's because it's hard to find shopkeepers, and there are very few business owners like Yu Shaodong who can train shopkeepers.
Therefore, Han Du has been worrying about this matter.
Seeing Xiong Shi looking at him with concern, he told Xiong Shi what was bad about him.
Then he sighed and said casually: "I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to find a shopkeeper to look after the shop."
After hearing this, Xiong Shi pondered for a moment and came up with an idea. "Sir, do you think this will work? How about sending two scribes from the Baoqian Lifting Department?"
"Is this okay?" Han Du wondered. Why does it feel like a public tool is for private use, and the person who holds the treasure bank account can be selected by himself at will?
Seeing that Han Du didn't understand, Xiong Shi quickly explained: "Yes, why not? If you are using it for personal use, there may be some problems. But you are running errands for the emperor and dispatching two scribes, and no one can do it."
What are you talking about? Besides, strictly speaking, these scribes are not officials who belong to the treasure collection department, but hired scholars. Anyway, they are all hired, and whoever hires them is not hiring?"
Han Du also realized now that although the scribes in the Baochao Division had to pay them salaries, they were not officials. Some of these scribes were recruited by the Bureau to assist them.
Some of the people who work are brought in by others. Anyway, there are all kinds of situations.
"Then are they willing? Can we visit the store?" Han Du was still a little unsure.
Xiong Shi immediately smiled, nodded and replied affirmatively: "Okay, they will definitely be willing."
Since Xiong Shi patted his chest and gave his assurance, Han Du naturally had no doubts and felt relieved. At the same time, Han Du remembered something, got up and walked back and forth in the room. His expression was serious, as if
Thinking about something important.
Xiong Shi saw it and knew that Han Du was thinking about something big. He stood aside without saying a word, not daring to make any noise to interrupt Han Du's thoughts.
Han Du was thinking about using mirrors to recycle old banknotes. Now that he knew that someone was printing banknotes privately, he might not receive fake banknotes when selling mirrors. Han Du was not worried about receiving fake banknotes.
If you put a treasure banknote in your store, you will cause losses to yourself. But I think if you put someone in the shop who can identify the real and fake treasure banknotes, you might be lucky enough to catch those who secretly print the treasure banknotes.
Han Du stood still instantly, looked up at Xiong Shi, and said in a deep voice: "When you are looking for someone, it is best to find someone who is very familiar with Baobao."
