Spring flowers wither, and summer comes quietly and unknowingly.
In this early summer season, Yangzhou people with their bright natures all feel more or less that this year seems to be slightly different compared to previous years.
The run a while ago has completely passed.
As the center of the turmoil, Yangzhou Printing Bank cashed everyone's banknotes for a small sum, and even waived the handling fees for small households.
Such financial resources, such skill, such attitude!
Jean's original plan was to die! The people who did not hand over their money again were shaken!
The money was all exchanged, and just when everyone was holding a lot of copper coins and wondering what to do in the future, an imperial edict came rushing all the way from Chang'an.
"Under the door:
In order to sympathize with the people and save material resources, a bank account was set up in Yangzhou to supervise the transactions of all copper coin substitutes! If there is any injustice or is unclear, we can get to the bottom of it! "
The bright holy edict was recited once in front of all the merchant houses that participated in the issuance of banknotes!
Although the words here are vague, smart people will know at a glance: His Majesty the Emperor has acquiesced to the existence of banknotes, and even set up a supervisory agency for this purpose!
In other words, the banknotes of those merchants are no longer their personal belongings! Once there is a problem, the government will get to the bottom of it!
The holy edict was recited in Yangzhou for two days. Soon, almost everyone knew about it, and many of them were directly interested in it.
"Hey? Lao Liu! Putting so many copper coins at home will easily attract thieves, and it's not easy to carry them around, why not?"
"I said Lao Wang, can you stop leaning against the wall in the future? Have you seen where my money is buried?"
"Ahem, how is that possible? I didn't know when you buried the money in the pigsty!"
"..." Old Liu had a black thread in his head. He thought about it again and again. In the end, he picked up the hoe and dug out the copper coins he had just buried a few days ago. He rinsed them with water casually, and then carried them to the place without waiting to dry. Go to Yangzhou Commercial Bank.
There are many similar things in Yangzhou City.
After all, in this era, the credibility of official uniforms is still quite strong!
With its endorsement, those who worried about gains and losses finally chose to believe.
As a result, the copper coins that had just flowed out of the cloth warehouse quickly flowed back, filling the empty warehouse to a full one.
"Supervisor, huh, I'm afraid that in a few years, we will be imprisoned..."
Yin Can was very dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, but this dissatisfaction was just talk. He now simply did not have the qualifications and ability to compete with the emperor.
In addition, Xiao Han also made it clear to him from the beginning: It is impossible for Datang to ignore such things as banknotes and money orders! Supervision is a must!
Of course, this kind of supervision is also measured, one of which is: the government must not interfere in the specific operations of commercial banks.
Compared to Yin Can, who had a displeased look on his face, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was quite satisfied: "Haha, don't be anxious, young master. Didn't Xiaohou say that? If we start first, we have the right to occupy the market first! Wait until our Yangzhou money shop opens. All over the Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t the world’s wealth be pouring in?”
Imagine the blueprint Xiao Han had drawn up: with their banknotes, they could go to any bank in any county in the Tang Dynasty to withdraw money. By then, the banknotes would no longer be banknotes, but real money. Money!
"Still thinking about making a lot of money? With that kid's temper, if such a good thing had happened! He would have done it himself, and it's our turn?"
Silently complaining in his heart, Yin Can finally couldn't bear to break the shopkeeper's fantasy, so he had to let him go.
What happened at the bank is just a microcosm of the changes in Yangzhou these days. In addition, there are many new and novel things quietly added to the market in Yangzhou.
Although most of the extra weird gadgets are so expensive that ordinary people can only jump at them and scold them, there are occasionally one or two that are of high quality and low price.
"Shopkeeper Xue, the perfume is not enough! Please give me more!"
On this day, in front of the Xiaojia Cloth Village, a figure rushed over in a hurry. Before the person arrived, the sound had already arrived!
"Ahem, **, line up, line up..." someone in the store said dissatisfied.
"Huh?" Shopkeeper Hu, who had his head lowered and was covered in sweat from running, was shocked when he heard the sound. He raised his head sharply and waited for his eyes to adapt to the light in the room.
Only then did he suddenly realize: It turned out that the small shop was already crowded with people!
Moreover, he knew most of these people, they were all big and well-known businessmen in Yangzhou!
Xiaojia Cloth Store, the place where Yin Can was fooled in the first place, is now closed. All the fabrics that were originally piled in the store have been removed, but the sign has not been removed.
Of course, this does not mean that the Xiao family's business cannot continue.
But after a new bidding meeting was held a while ago, Xiao Han personally decided to remove all stores in Yangzhou and concentrate on behind-the-scenes supply.
Later, other shops were rented out one after another, leaving only this place as an office space, specially used for handling transactions with other merchants and keeping accounts.
"Haha, shopkeeper Hu is here? Just in time, come over and talk to Boss Ma about how the shares between your two families should be divided?"
In the middle hall of Buzhuang, Manager Xue, who had been pestered by Ma Laoliu, saw shopkeeper Hu coming. He rolled his eyes, immediately stood up with a smile, and invited him over.
"Huh? With him? I'm a wine seller and he's a water seller. What do we have to say! Manager Xue, are you trying to trick me? This can't be done! Fifty thousand yuan is a one-time payment from me. Clear, no delay at all!" Seeing Manager Xue stand up, Ma Laoliu hurriedly stepped forward, staring at him closely, as if he was afraid that Manager Xue would run away!
Fifty thousand dollars! Every time he talks about these 50,000 yuan, Ma Laoliu feels his heart bleed! At the same time, I have the urge to destroy the whole family in Yangzhou!
Back then, on the boat, you refused to let me buy 30,000 guan!
Now it's fine, they fucking shook hands and made peace, but he spent an extra 20,000 yuan for no reason, just to steal the right to sell it from all the competitors!
Now if the Xiao family is not allowed to supply more, they will probably be unable to wear the pants this time!
"Ahem, Mr. Mule, please speak with some conscience. Why do you mean I sell water? What I sell is perfume! Who went to Yuefeng Tower two days ago and shamelessly chased after other girls to smell the perfume?"
Shopkeeper Hu is also from a wealthy and powerful family in Yangzhou, so he is naturally not afraid of Ma Laoliu. When he heard this, he glared and not only revealed the scandal about Ma Laoliu, but even shouted out the nickname he had given him on the boat.
"you……"
Ma Laoliu, who was already upset, suddenly became angry, gnashing his teeth, blushing and thickening his neck?
It seems that if they weren't concerned about each other's identities, they would probably take action at this time! .
"Hey, everyone, please stop saying a few words. We are no longer children. We are still angry when we meet!"
Manager Xue, who had just sat down to take a breath, was immediately troubled when he saw the two of them like this. He stood up and separated the two of them, smiling bitterly.
