Several guards were checking the vendors coming and going.
"Ouch, Lao Tan, why are you so fast this time? You just made a trip and came again a few days ago?"
Leading a horse team was a merchant named Lao Tan. This man traveled between Beijing and Liangzhou all year round and made a lot of money. He was also very famous in Yangzhou.
Old Tan burst out laughing: "Who told us that Zuiyinzhou tastes so good! The two military masters don't know that Zuiyinzhou is in Beijing and is already an indispensable fine wine for the banquets of princes and nobles. No, just now
I sent two cars there and they were all gone!"
"Okay, okay, let's go in!"
The two guards also laughed and waved their hands.
Lao Tan quickly thanked him and walked with a caravan of gold and silver, smiling all the way. He was already thinking about how much money he could make from doing business this time.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to take a rest in Yangzhou, he suddenly heard a piece of news.
"Yinzhou coins?"
"What? You can't buy it with real money?"
"Must I use Yinzhou coins?"
Lao Tan looked surprised and quickly asked what the Yinzhou coin was.
In the past few days, vendors in Yinzhou, Yangzhou, and Kezhou are all discussing this Yinzhou coin. After all, they all rely on this Yintan City for their meals. How can they not care about a Yinzhou coin that suddenly comes out?
?
"Old Tan, hahaha, the wind direction has changed. It's hard to use your carts of gold and silver! Now when you go to Yintan City to purchase goods, you have to use Yinzhou coins. Well, did you see it? This is it.
!”
Old Tan was anxious: "Oh, I don't know, what should I do? Where can I exchange Yinzhou coins?"
A bystander said: "I can't exchange it. The issuance of Yinzhou coins in Yintan City has been suspended!"
Lao Tan was so anxious that he jumped: "This can't be done, my boss over there is waiting! What should I do? What should I do?"
This business involves credibility. If a wealthy family in Beijing wants wine, he will not be able to deliver it to them and will have to pay for it!
He hurried to Yinzhou. In the past two days, he made many connections, but to no avail. No one could use gold and silver to pull goods from Yintan City.
This made him even more anxious, and his hair turned white in a few days.
He settled the accounts and gritted his teeth: "Whoever has Yinzhou coins, I want to collect Yinzhou coins, one gold and one silver!"
In Fengming Tower, everyone moved when they heard the wind.
One gold and one silver?
Is there such a good thing?
"I have it, come on, how much do you want?"
"Is fifty enough?"
"Fifty is enough, let's continue, is there anything else?"
Lao Tan calculated an account. He must get 500 gold, which is 10,000 taels of silver, in Zuiyinzhou within three days, and then return to Beijing. Otherwise, he will lose his pants on this transaction.
There's nothing left! If one gold and one silver is calculated, he still makes a profit!
In the past few days, traders like Lao Tan have also encountered this situation.
That's how the market is.
Change in an instant.
If you can catch me, you can make money; if you can't, you will lose money.
Heaven and hell are just a thought away.
then.
Fengming Tower became the trading market for Yinzhou coins.
"What's the price of Yinzhou coins today?"
"I want it, I want it!"
"One gold, one silver, whatever you want!"
Many people from Yinzhou flocked over and gradually joined this team. Because just a few days ago, Liu Zheng announced a policy that from now on, all public officials in Yinzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, and Kezhou Prefecture,
All staff in Yintan City and all enlisted soldiers in the Yinzhou Army will have their monthly money paid in Yinzhou coins instead.
At first, people were reluctant.
However, based on their trust in Mr. Liu, they took over temporarily.
At this time, they were crazy with joy.
"This means how many taels of silver have we made?"
"Mr. Liu is indeed Mr. Li. I have told you before that he will not let us suffer!"
The people of Yinzhou all smile heartily.
Lao Tan saw more and more people competing for Yinzhou coins with him, and he became anxious: "Is there any more? I don't have enough here, I want more! One gold and two silvers, one gold and two silvers!"
boom!
When many people who were watching heard this, they couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Lao Tan.
Several small vendors over there were also anxious.
"I also have one gold and two silver coins!"
"As much as you want!"
At this moment.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Everyone, stop robbing and get to the gate of Yintan City! Someone over there wants to return Yinzhou coins!"
"What?"
When Lao Tan heard this, he ran out like crazy.
These small traders, you look at me and I look at you.
