You can no longer eat the fat meat in Buddhism, but there is still oil and water in other places.
The wealthy families in the Central Plains region are all watching the great transformation of the Central Plains region.
I don't know where the person came from. The royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty said that the heavenly being brought people from the time of Feng Chan before, so let's take it as such.
The major transformation that started in Kaifeng has now moved towards Luoyang. The wide roads, the vehicles on the road, the street lights, the electric lights and electrical appliances, and daily chemical products for each household, these big households in the Central Plains find everything novel.
They are even more eager for the RMB in the hands of those in Kaifeng.
Now Kaifeng City's use of RMB is no longer limited to eating and reading. It has also begun to purchase modern household appliances from the stores set up by Sima. The most popular ones are lamps, CRT TVs, DVD players, and discs.
CRT TVs and DVD players have been eliminated in modern times, but these things were very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, these things are much more interesting than those songs and dances.
As for these things that are very popular in Kaifeng, you can buy them with real money, but no one will sell them. You can only go to the exchange office to exchange them for RMB.
RMB can now be exchanged not only for real gold and silver, but also for silk brocades, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, precious wood, rare medicinal materials, jewelry and jade.
The wealthy households in Kaifeng City and the surrounding areas took out their gold and silver and began to exchange them. They did not exchange much, because most of them were household appliances, which could be used.
Those merchants who traveled north and south exchanged a lot. After all, according to their past experience, whatever was popular in Kaifeng would also be popular in the Song Dynasty, so they spent a lot of gold and silver to buy a lot of I want to sell household appliances overseas.
It’s a pity that what they don’t know is that those household appliances can only be sold around Kaifeng now. If they are far away, no one will use the appliances. It’s not that they don’t want to use them, but that they don’t have electricity. Now only in Kaifeng Prefecture, every household has them. Electricity, they still don’t understand why it can only be used near Kaifeng, and no one has explained to them, because no one knows what is going on. They only know that they bought some wires underground and connected them to their homes, and then these things can be used. .
When those merchants discovered that the electrical appliances could not be used, but the toiletries and various daily necessities that were used as supplements were sold very quickly, and these things could be used everywhere, those merchants began to buy large quantities of daily necessities. Chemical supplies are sold in other places.
When they first started selling daily chemical products in other places, not many people bought them. In the Song Dynasty, a handful of plant ash, a laundry stick and a river were enough to wash clothes. Who would use soap or other things? , and I have never seen it.
Those who want to make up are more accustomed to using things like rouge. No one has seen or used the cosmetics they brought, and they don't know how to use them.
It was the idea given to them by the exchange house. They found people to try it out in public. They had to do laundry, wash hands and face, put on makeup, and so on. They used curiosity to attract people, and then asked their own people to buy, and they also had to buy in large quantities. There can't be just one person buying, many people have to buy together, causing an artificial supply shortage. After all, there are only so many people who can buy good things.
Cosmetics can be promoted in the brothel Chuguan, where people have the greatest demand for cosmetics, and the exchange house can also teach people how to apply makeup.
What can't you learn? It's simple. You buy a diesel generator and go out with a TV and DVD. There are detailed makeup instruction videos in it. You don't need to know how to do it yourself. It teaches people how to put on makeup.
By the way, why don't you sell diesel generators again? We still have diesel here. With diesel generators, you can sell the household appliances you bought before.
You see, our exchange office is thinking about you in every aspect. Why don't you exchange more RMB? After all, people from other places don't know the exchange rate. You collect some real money from them when you sell it to them, and then give the real money to them. How about redeeming it with us?
This is not about selling high and buying low, or hoarding goods. These things are inherently valuable. Think about it, we haven't built the infrastructure yet. They have nowhere to use them now. They want to buy them. It’s also impossible to buy.
what about you? But in order to let them enjoy the life in Kaifeng one day earlier, this is a good thing. Besides, the emperor now uses the same things you sell, and these can be said to be tributes.
In this way, despite being deceived, the gold and silver in the Central Plains area generally flowed to the exchange office, and a large amount of RMB was exchanged. Billions of RMB were exchanged for hundreds of tons of real gold and silver.
Starting from Kaifeng, RMB has been a hard currency in the Northern Song Dynasty. Businessmen in the Central Plains have also become accustomed to using RMB, and bulk commodity transactions have begun to use RMB.
Over there, RMB has begun to take on the status of ancient copper coins and Jiaozi. All the real gold and silver on the market in Kaifeng area has been exchanged by Zhuo Qun, and the expenditure is also huge.
However, the royal family and court officials could not collect the gold at 120 one tael. After all, these people knew the price of gold.
But Zhuo Qun still tried to trick those people and said to those people, of course I will buy your gold at a high price. After all, what is our relationship? However, there are some problems with the fineness of your gold and it cannot meet the standard of thousands of pure gold. Why not give us 200 per gram? , Zhuo Qun, with tears in his eyes, exchanged ten tons of gold from the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties. Zhuo Qun cried all night in bed. That’s 2 billion. Among the people, one kilogram of gold is only 2,400 yuan. This Big loss.
After the real gold and silver arrived, Zhuo Qun made a phone call and handed it over. It happened that during the economic crisis, the price of gold was ridiculously high. As it rose every day, the growth rate of gold in the national treasury slowed down. This time, there was a lot of gold. One hundred tons, plus several hundred tons of silver, will make the treasury a little fatter, and the financial pressure on the top will also be relieved a little bit. It can be regarded as an explanation for the 300 billion, let the top know Zhuo The group is not just for food.
After the inflow of gold and silver slowed down, Zhuo Qun made another request. Silk brocade, calligraphy and painting, rare wood, and rare medicinal materials could be exchanged and purchased in unlimited quantities.
The finest silk brocade, Shu brocade and Su embroidery can be purchased in unlimited quantities for a thousand yuan a piece.
Rare wood, only those with a diameter at breast height of 100 or more, is purchased at a high price. How much does it cost per square meter in modern times? Then use the price per square meter to buy a tree. It is a real price.
For jewelry and jade, how much does one gram cost now? Just buy it according to the price per gram, but you have to change the gram into two. If you are doing business, no one should lose.
It was not Zhuo Qun who wanted rare medicinal materials, but the laboratory wanted to see how they were different from modern medicinal materials.
Calligraphy, painting, literature, and toys must be appraised by experts, and purchased at a modern price of one-twentieth minus zero. After all, they are just handicrafts. It is already a sky-high price to pay so much.
