The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Thank you for finding a name and bnbn1988 for the monthly tickets of the two book friends, sincerely thank you!)

The popularity of Huitong Yinzhuang is astounding. After the opening in the morning, people lined up in front of the Yinzhuang gate at noon. Send people to maintain order and prevent chaos.

The folks in Yinzhuang were quite unfamiliar at the beginning, but later they became more proficient and faster, but until the end of the Shen Dynasty, they only received more than 100 common people, and the rest were treated in a convenient way; because Su Jin strictly stipulated the time, night is the most unsafe time, the most important thing is to ensure safety, and there must be no mistakes.

After the application time passed, the nursing home of Yinzhuang began to clear the place, and the people were invited out of the gate of Yinzhuang. After explaining for a long time, the number plates were distributed according to the order of the queue, and they were asked to come back to save money tomorrow morning, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Su Jin stared at it almost all day. After the officials who came to congratulate him at noon, he stayed in the attic on the second floor and watched the storage in Yinzhuang. His mood gradually changed from inexplicable worry and anxiety. It must be eased, these guys are very adaptable, and it is not easy to reach this level for the first time.

After the customers dispersed, Yinzhuang's special double-layer iron net gate was immediately pulled down and locked. Qian Henian and three nurses sat behind the counter as steadily as Mount Tai to guard several large boxes of money. Even if Su Jin came downstairs , Qian Henian did not leave half a step.

Su Jin is extremely satisfied, this is exactly the rule of Yinzhuang he asked for, before the money is put into the treasury, one must be extra cautious, and there must be no mistakes.

After an inventory, a total of 130 customers deposited money on the first day, depositing a total of 150 taels of silver and more than [-] copper coins, which is quite impressive.

After the money and silver statistics are sent to the treasury in the backyard, the thick iron gate is locked with four large locks. The nursing team of the hospital guards the hospital day and night in three shifts to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After a brief tidying up, Su Jin held a brief meeting and highly praised everyone's performance today. The door opened today, and every Yinzhuang employee distributed a big red envelope to encourage them to make persistent efforts.

Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, Su Jin also euphemistically put forward a few requests: "Everyone, Yinzhuang has Yinzhuang's rules, and these rules are stricter than any merchants. Of course, your wages are also unmatched by any merchants." Yes, you can inquire about it, the salary of an ordinary employee in Huitong Yinzhuang is two to three times that of other merchants."

Everyone nodded and said: "The big boss has nothing to say to us. I will follow the big boss to the death and work with this big boss for the rest of my life."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I, Su Ji, will not abandon my old buddies, this is my Su Ji tradition; I pay everyone such high wages, so that you can treat every customer carefully, Every payment; the accounting room should be summarized in more detail, and the income and expenditure of each counter clerk must have a detailed running account, which must be checked at the end of each month. Whether there is more or less, as long as the accounts are not balanced, it means you If you make a mistake, you will be punished.”

A young man said: "If there are too many, won't it help Yinzhuang make more money?"

Su Jin lowered his face and said, "What is the motto of Su Ji's store? Su Ji pays attention to integrity and profit in business, and the word "profit" is at the end. If there are too many accounts, the customer must suffer. From the standpoint of the customer, you will come again Do I have deposits in Huitong Yinzhuang? Anyone who makes a mistake in the accounts will find out the reason, and the mistake of heart can be forgiven once. If you do it intentionally, don’t blame me, Su Jin, for not being sympathetic."

The boy was blushing, and hung his head in silence. Everyone looked at him with contempt, blaming him for saying such words.

Su Jin's tone was gentle, and he continued: "In the future, all of you will go to various state capitals to be the big shopkeepers of my branches in Huitong Yinzhuang. You must bear in mind that those who pursue small profits will lose big fortunes, and take a long-term view. I, Su Ji, can be prosperous, truly like the 'connecting the world' that the emperor expected."

Everyone applauded, praising Da Dong's long-term vision and being a big business man.

Qian Henian clasped his hands and said, "Big boss, I'm actually not satisfied with today's business. Many details didn't follow the pre-made Yinzhuang regulations, which seemed a bit messy. As the big shopkeeper, I'm here to ask big boss Apologies, I punish myself with half a month's salary as punishment."

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "You can see that the imperfections are not dereliction of duty. In fact, the biggest dissatisfaction today is not these small fallacies. These mistakes will naturally be corrected one by one in the future. The only thing that needs to be thought about is this." Method."

Qian Henian pondered: "Does Da Dong mean the exchange of money? Today, not a single amount of money was exchanged to Yinzhuang in Yingtianfu. The merchants are indeed waiting to see."

Su Jin nodded and said: "You can also see that the merchants are very cautious and very old-fashioned. Some people would rather pay for escorts than try the method of exchanging money. The main reason is that they are afraid of mistakes, but Most people probably don't know the function of my Huitong Yinzhuang."

Qian Henian thought for a while and said, "Boss, I have an idea. Instead of waiting for someone to come to the door, we should take the initiative to visit. Tomorrow the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper will be in Yinzhuang, and I will visit the merchants in the capital and explain Yinzhuang in detail. What do you think of the convenience and safety of exchange, let them know about it?"

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "It's possible, but I suggest not to go door-to-door, but to send invitations to a banquet, in the name of my Xinke Jieyuan. Thousands of merchants in the city, you have to run over one by one. It’s a year that can’t be finished, so let’s cast the net everywhere, catch big fish, and explain the exchange at the banquet. Wouldn’t it be easy? We don’t want to eat a fat man at one bite, as long as fifty merchants can pass me Huitong remits currency, and other merchants must rush after waiting and watching; the cost is so much saved, and it is so convenient and safe. It is no wonder that merchants who are better than monkeys do not do it. Guaranteed to be absolutely fast and safe, and dispel their worries." b Travel through novels: sj131netb

Qian Henian was overjoyed and said: "It would be better if the big boss is willing to come forward. I was afraid that the big boss is busy with affairs, so I didn't dare to mention it."

Su Jin smiled and said: "I just came out to say hello, the rest is for you and the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper to come out, and you will deal with them in the future. You have to have a good relationship with them, and I still have a lot of trouble here. "

Qian Henian said with a smile: "I understand, there are still [-] days until the Ministry of Rites Examination, and the boss is going to come back with a Huiyuan this time."

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it, my brain is blown, I ordered the chef to serve the food quickly, I ate here with you and hurried back, my waist was exhausted this day."

……

The opening of Huitong Yinzhuang is different from dropping a bomb in the capital. The whole court and business circles are discussing this matter. Some people think it is a risk. However, it was finally banned. At that time, the imperial court issued an official document: "Public-private transactions of more than ten guan coins, that is, both use the horses, Weiduzhi, Yantieshi, and Jingzhaoyin will make fractional rumors, tea merchants, etc. Public and private will be exchanged for money, and must be banned. '

The reason is that the exchange of flying money is probably a spontaneous method of private merchants, and the imperial court can't get a penny, and the generation of flying money makes the court's currency almost useless. Later, some people even took the flying money directly. The trading of bills led to the loss of the imperial court's financial authority.

Based on this, most people waited to see Su Jin's jokes; although Su Jin knew nothing about the flying money of the previous dynasty, he chose to cooperate with the imperial court at the beginning of the establishment, and only exchanged, and the exchanged bills did not need to be obtained. You can only buy goods and materials by withdrawing cash, and you accidentally avoided the disadvantages of flying money. You can't help but say that you walked to the golden bumps and got lucky.

Until the end of April, the business of Huitong Yinzhuang basically stabilized. After Su Jin summoned merchants in the capital to exchange money, after more than ten days of waiting and watching, some merchants gradually tried with small sums of money exchanged.

A stone in Su Jin's heart fell to the ground. I am afraid that you will not believe me, but I am afraid that you will not come. As long as you have the first business with Huitong, Su Jin has the confidence to catch you firmly.
