Who is Li Qi? He is a big businessman. He talks about profit all the time. How could he suffer such a loss?
The people sitting here are all making big money, not only a thousand coins, but also eight hundred coins. What did they go to the Feiqian Bureau for? Isn't it just a safety? Now they go to the Feiqian Bureau to redeem the votes.
But they are all unique, with their signatures, and you have to use the handwriting to exchange them for silver at the Feiqian Bureau.
And this money note is not unique. Anyone can exchange it for silver after getting it. It is a universal one. If you go south with so many money notes, if you encounter a robbery, you will have to cry to death and go through some procedures.
It's really worth it to have peace.
Don't look at what Uncle He Jiu said. If you ask him to exchange money notes, would he dare? What is his motto? As a businessman, remember not to expose your wealth.
Uncle He Jiushan smiled sarcastically and said, "I'm just asking. I have no other intention. I have no other intention."
Fan Shaobai said: "Doesn't this money ticket not even charge the cost?"
Money notes also need to be made with paper and ink, and there are many tricks. This will definitely cause costs. Today is not as cheap as it was in later generations, and the paper is not cheap. Although it is much better now, it still requires money.
"Not accepted."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "In the past, our country's treasury was empty and we were unable to do anything. But in recent years, the economy has recovered and the treasury is relatively abundant, so the imperial court decided to start improving the welfare of the people, and this money ticket is one of them.
The essential.
In fact, even if the cost was not charged, the court would still make a huge profit.
Why did the court do this? It was to help small businessmen. Businessmen have to pay taxes. The more money they make, the more taxes they pay. The circulation of currency can create more profits, and the smoother the currency
, then the more profits will be created, the more taxes the court will collect, so after all this calculation, the court will still make a profit."
At this point, he paused and said: "Actually, I had already thought of this when I suggested reopening the money bureau. But at that time, there were only a few major places with money bureaus. But now it is different. Almost every state has a money bureau.
The government and many counties have large and small flying money bureaus, so the cost of money tickets is even lower."
Zhou Qing worriedly said: "But this money ticket is very similar to Jiaozi. I'm afraid the merchants won't accept it."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This money ticket is just a kind of exchange ticket. If the court really wants to cheat merchants, it will be to cheat your exchange tickets, not those exchange tickets with smaller face values. You are not afraid, but those small businessmen will still be worried."
What?"
Everyone nodded.
Uncle He Jiu frowned and said, "But we don't need this money ticket. The court should also come up with some policies to provide convenience for us."
Fan Shaobai said: "Uncle He Jiu is right. Once Lingnan is developed, our business will have bottlenecks. The imperial court should think of ways to take precautions and help us reach a higher level. We attach great importance to this launch."
A new currency. But now it seems that apart from the currency itself, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with us.”
Businessmen's desire for money will never stop. No matter how much money they have, they will still try their best to make money. This is the nature of businessmen. It is difficult for people who are contented to gain a foothold in the business world.
"That's wrong."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Now our army is on the Western Expedition and has achieved a major victory. It is only a matter of time before Tubo is included in our territory. Tubo's land is not small. Of course, this will take some time. By then we will still have
We can talk about it in detail, just for now. The currency launched this time will redefine currency and meet the demand for currency on the market. In the past, currencies were distinguished based on the weight of copper, but now with the depreciation of copper prices, the currency
The value has increased a lot, so in the future currency will exist in the form of currency. In other words, although a copper coin has some wear and tear, its value will not change."
Uncle He Jiu asked: "How is this possible?"
Li Qidao: "Because of the existence of the Legislative Yuan, this is possible. In the future, currencies will not be launched blindly, but based on market demand. The Commerce Bureau will conduct currency statistics every year. The basis of this statistics is the circulation of currency. Currency
Once it becomes standardized, each currency can create value, and the currency itself will not depreciate. There is a saying that breaks a currency and uses it. This describes the life of the poor, but
When currency is strictly controlled, and the currency on the market becomes more circulated, and everyone needs currency, then the value of currency will be stable, and no one will care whether the currency wears out."
Fan Shaobai said: "Is that all?"
"of course not."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "The introduction of money tickets is not only beneficial to those small businessmen, but also has a great relationship with you. If you are willing, these money tickets can help your business to a higher level."
As soon as they talked about their own interests, the businessmen cheered up one after another.
Fan Shaobai asked: "How do you say this?"
Li Qidao: "For money tickets, this is just the beginning. If the market for money tickets is good, we will immediately launch the second batch of money tickets. This second batch of money tickets has a great relationship with you, because the imperial court
I hope to cooperate with you to launch this money ticket."
"Cooperate with us? This---."
Everyone was confused when they heard that this currency has always been controlled by the imperial court, not to mention them, not even the dignitaries can touch it.
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's right. All of you who are doing this are the pillars of our business community in the Song Dynasty. In business, we can say that you are the sea, but the sea is also made up of streams, and those small businessmen are the streams.
They have an inseparable connection with you. Money notes can make currency more circulated and accelerate economic growth. Your business will naturally grow accordingly. If you save the step of exchanging, it will become more stable.
accelerate."
"Save the exchange step? Are you going to use this money note as currency?" Zhou Qing exclaimed.
"You can say that, but it's not entirely like this." Li Qi said with a smile: "Actually, the meaning of the imperial court is very simple. It is to work with you to jointly launch money tickets. For anyone who participates, the money tickets can be purchased directly in your store.
use.
For example, if our Zuixianju participates in this joint issuance, but Fanlou does not, then those who hold the money tickets can directly use it in our Zuixianju, but if they want to use it in Fanlou, they must first
Go to Fei Qian Bureau to exchange the currency, and then go to Fan Lou to use it. Shaobai, where do you think those who hold money tickets will spend money?"
Fan Shaobai's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he immediately fell into deep thought.
Li Qi continued: "A meal may not be enough to explain many problems, but like Uncle He Jiushu, Zhou Yuanwai's business often requires a large amount of purchase and shipment. Although the money required is not a lot, it is still quite a lot.
, and it may be cooperating with traders in the Tokyo area. In the past, there was no need for a flying money bureau because it was too close. Usually, it was just a matter of transporting currency, which was time-consuming and laborious. Once you participate in this cooperation, the money tickets will be
It makes the whole process simpler and more convenient. When you have a lot of money in your hands, you can go to the Feiqian Bureau to exchange it for currency, and then the Feiqian Bureau will exchange it for those merchants. In this way, the currency can move quickly.
From this point of view, this money ticket is far more useful to you than to those small businessmen."
As he spoke, he seemed to feel a little dry in the mouth. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "In my martial arts novels, there is a martial arts secret that will never go out of style. That is, in martial arts in the world, only quickness is unbreakable. In the same way, the same goes for doing business.
In this way, there are too many businessmen today, and the competition is very strong. If you are one step ahead of others, you will get much more than this. If you want to be invincible, you have to be faster than your opponents. You are lucky, you were born in Tokyo, and now
So far, the people the imperial court has cooperated with have only been wealthy businessmen like you, and others who want to participate are not yet qualified."
This temptation is far more attractive than the money ticket itself.
If you are not moved, then you are not a businessman.
In fact, cooperating with these merchants to issue banknotes was to pave the way for the emergence of banknotes. After all, Jiaozi left an indelible fear in the hearts of the people. If Jiaozi was introduced at this time, it would definitely result in losses. No one would believe it, so this is
Step by step, first limit the circulation of money notes, gain recognition from a small number of people, and slowly accumulate trust. When the time comes, slowly expand the scope of currency use, and gradually push money notes to the position of banknotes.
These businessmen look at me and I look at them. You must know that there are very good competitors here. They are thinking in their hearts that if I don’t participate, then I will be one step behind. Those customers will definitely do it for more convenience.
Choose a place where you can use money to spend. If you fall behind one step, you will fall behind step by step.
Uncle He Jiu said: "But the money note is not unique, wouldn't it be easy to forge?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, since the imperial court dares to launch this money ticket, it has naturally put a lot of effort into this aspect. I won't go into details. The paper used for this money ticket will be a brand-new paper, very special."
It's so special that you can detect it by just touching it. It also has official seals and secret seals. As long as the merchants participate in the cooperative issuance, the court will tell them to identify the authenticity. Of course, what I tell you is only part of it. The court will also retain some know-how. Not only
In this way, money bills will be updated very quickly, and the Legislative Yuan will also introduce laws at the same time. Those who forge money bills will be charged with serious crimes, so in this regard, everyone can rest assured that there will never be any forgery."
"That's right, that's right, we have absolute confidence in the imperial court." Uncle He Jiu chuckled. This smile was clearly evident in the businessman's face, and said: "Privy Councilor, this money ticket is exactly what we urgently need. I, He Jiu,
Absolutely support it, I think why not just release it for the first time, why bother waiting for the second time.”
Of course, the sooner the better, because once word spreads, more businessmen will definitely get involved.
However, the purpose of the imperial court is to gain the support of more businessmen, and it must take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. Li Qi smiled and said: "The imperial court also wants to go fast, but the problem is that it cannot be fast. The court still has to publicize it. Interested businessmen must first go to business."
The money ticket will be registered with the bureau, and some information of the merchants participating in the joint issuance will be hidden in the money ticket. This will be known to the customer and identified with you. But don't worry, once the person who jointly issued it is determined,
, the imperial court will issue it immediately, and I believe it will be issued during the autumn harvest this year."
