For example, the three-cup coins cast by the imperial court are exquisite in style and full of weight. They are the most popular among the people. In the current market, they are also the most widely circulated. If exchanged for gold, every ten coins can be Exchange it for one tael of gold.
Next came the coins cast by the state of Wu and the Deng Tong coins cast by Deng Tong, because two large copper mines were discovered in the state of Wu and the large copper mine discovered in Shuzhong, both of which were of excellent quality. Almost all coins in the Han Dynasty There was nowhere else to match it, so the purchasing power of the copper coins they minted was a close second.
Almost every eleven copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of gold, and then there are the miscellaneous coins minted in various places, which were the least valuable in the Han Dynasty, and even mixed with a large amount of iron coins.
If you want to convert it into gold, you need to convert it all according to the copper price. There is no way to say the specific conversion ratio.
Just a few years ago, in order to stabilize this situation, Liu Heng once again issued a ban, stipulating the weight and size of three-baht coins in the form of legislation. Anyone who did not mint coins that did not meet the standard would be beheaded!
Thanks to this policy, the fundamentals of copper coins have been stabilized, which has greatly increased the difficulty for the powerful to mint bad money, and it can also be considered a good thing for the people.
But there are policies and countermeasures, just like King Wu Liu Bi. In the past, he could barely resist his greed because of the profits from boiling the sea and making salt. However, since the salt industry suffered a fatal blow, he Immediately, several money-making masters were called in to study the counterfeiting matter.
The guy in front of me is one of the best!
"Mr. Zhao, if we follow your method, how much money can we make in one day? How much profit can we make?"
After King Wu Liu Biping stepped back, he held the two copper coins in his hand and watched carefully while lowering his voice and speaking.
"If you follow my method, take the money-casting workshop in Guangling City as an example, you can get 900 guans in one night, and the king's profit will be 300 guans! If the king can increase the scale, Deli will It will naturally be more generous!”
This is really the best business in the world. With the generous price and the exquisite copper coins in his hands, Liu Bi was immediately attracted to it.
"Sir, please go down and rest first. Let me think about it again!"
"promise!"
Zhao Xian has been learning how to make money from his master since he was 15 years old. It has been twenty years now. He was originally Deng Tong's master coin maker. Later, he was introduced to Liu Bi by Deng Tong and stayed in the state of Wu. It's been five years. Although this research only started in the past few months, he has been thinking about this matter for more than ten years. Until today, he finally came up with a formula that he was most satisfied with.
The copper coin now minted perfectly meets the requirements of the imperial court, regardless of its size, thickness and weight.
More importantly, there is no need to mine copper mines at all. You only need to put the three baht coins minted by the court directly into the furnace, and you can get 30% of the profits for nothing!
And there is no shortage of sales for this thing. In the current Han Dynasty, no matter how much money there is, it will be swallowed directly by this gold-eating beast.
More importantly, there is another gold-swallowing giant beast in Guangling City. No matter how much copper coins you have, you can exchange them for stronger hard currency-green salt there!
"Father, are you looking for me?"
After Zhao Xian left, King Wu Liu Bi sent people directly to find his son Liu Xian.
"Come and take a look at this thing. Can you see any difference?"
Liu Bi said and handed the two copper coins in front of him to Liu Xian.
Although Liu Xian didn't know what his father meant, he still obediently picked up two copper coins in front of his eyes and watched carefully.
Then he put two copper coins under the lamp and compared them carefully. After comparing them carefully for a long time, he really couldn't find any difference between the two things.
"Except that this one looks newer, there seems to be no difference in anything else. Is there anything wrong with these two copper coins?"
"This new copper coin can make a profit of 30%! Do you think this business can be done?"
Hearing what Liu Bi said, Liu Xian's eyes suddenly widened. He picked up the two copper coins in his hand again. After weighing them carefully for a long time, he really couldn't find any difference, but just by the feel of this thing Definitely not. The exact weight still needs to be weighed before we know it.
"No need to look, I've already found someone to weigh them, and the weights of the two are exactly the same!"
"Father, are you telling the truth?"
Liu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up. This is a money-making business!
"Of course it's true. You must have heard about the Hun mission, right? It seems like that bastard Liu Deng is going to make great achievements again this time. I just don't know if this guy is planning to marry his sister. Which family's daughter are you planning to send over? How about we give him another big gift!"
Compared with other things, due to the emergence of SF Express, the price of salt in the entire Han Dynasty has become increasingly stable. Among the business travelers in the Wu Kingdom, some people have begun to secretly communicate through certain aristocratic families. I expressed my opinion to Liu Bi and wanted to join the SF Express model.
However, due to the relationship between King Wu Liu Bi and Liu Deng, no one dared to bring it up in person for a while. This was almost a thorn in Liu Bi's mind.
Last time about the fake salt stamps, Liu Bi was slapped firmly in the face by this boy. This suffocation still made Liu Bi feel depressed in his heart until now.
He never expected that that kid would actually do so many tricks on a small salt stamp. He spent so much effort and invested no less than 100,000 yuan in order to create those fake salt stamps. !
But in the end, he didn't get a penny, but instead made a fuss. What made him even more disgusted was that after this incident, the value of the salt ticket became more stable.
Even many of the big businessmen in the Kingdom of Wu directly exchanged copper coins for salt stamps. After arriving at the destination, they could directly use the salt stamps in their hands to exchange them for salt at the local SF Express branch, and then Then take it to the Big and Small Salt Stores to exchange it for copper coins.
Although this round of transactions directly allowed SF Express and Salt Bank to earn 10% of their profits, it greatly reduced their risk of carrying large amounts of copper coins.
After all, with tens of thousands of copper coins carried around, there are too many jealous people, and one careless move could lead to death.
After switching to salt stamps, it is really convenient to carry them with you. As long as you sew a hidden bag on your body and wear it close to your body, you may not be found out even if you encounter a robber.
Seeing that the business of SF Express is getting better and better, King Wu Liu Bi is getting more and more motivated. This time, he can finally take care of this guy!
Didn't he always want to promote his Shunfeng line among the major vassal states?
Then I will give him a chance this time, first swallow the 20% of the profit that he gave up, and then use the copper coins I added to pay for it. During this time, the copper coins added will be It all went into the hands of this kid, and after he swallowed a sufficient amount, he would detonate it himself!
Let’s see how this kid dies!
