I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 85 Bills
When it comes time for He Shao to fulfill his promise, of course He Shao will not renege on his promise and lose weight, but how can he have so much money now!

"Commander Xue, you and I don't have so much property with us in Kelan County now."

"Do you want to renege on your debt?" Xue Cheng asked.

"Of course not, I have a note to make everyone feel at ease."

"Master He, please tell me"

After all, he was the God of Wealth of Xiang Jun, and Xue Cheng was very polite.

"I will issue a bill for everyone, and when I return to Taiyuan Mansion, I will exchange it to everyone according to the bill."

"Master He, I don't believe you. After all, a large amount of gold and silver is more reassuring. Besides, the bill is easy to make and Master He will lose money when the time comes."

Obviously, Xue Cheng didn't want to use a flimsy piece of paper to replace the credit for this fight.

"Don't worry about counterfeiting. This bill first indicates the identity and place of origin of the money taker, and then writes down the number of heads and money. One copy is for the soldiers of the Xiang Army and the other is for me.

And the one I took away requires the money taker to leave an extra digital password. At that time, the two receipts will be compared and then told me the reserved password as verification, and the money can be withdrawn with a lot of money! "

"Just one ticket may not be enough to convince everyone"

"I am the nephew of Mr. Zhang Qixian, the pacifier of the Economic Strategy of Hedong Road. The commanding envoy won't trust me if he shouts, but he won't trust Mr. Zhang?" To use a piece of paper to pay for real gold and silver, all you need is reputation.

"Brother Xue, if you still don't feel at ease, I can also use my reputation in Tianbo Mansion as a guarantee for him."

Tianbo Mansion has a very high prestige in the Great Song Army, and Yang Wenguang's personal appearance is more useful than He Shao's lip service.

"I have the pacifier and the Tianbo Mansion's guarantee, I will go and talk to the brothers below."

Just now when He Shao told Xue Cheng about this IOU, he suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. The earliest banknotes in China appeared in the economically developed Song Dynasty.

The first key to the circulation of banknotes is to have strong credit, so that the holders are willing to believe that this piece of paper has the value of real money, and secondly, a large number of people need to hold and use it!
In terms of credit, He Shao is of course not good, but Tianbo Mansion and the 21-year prime minister Zhang Qixian can do it.

Now that nearly 2000 members of the Xiang army hold the bills, why can they upgrade the bills into banknotes without doing anything else? The next thing He Shao wants to do is how to get other soldiers to accept it!
After the enthusiasm of the brothers reunited, Yang Wenguang became worried about He Shao's situation again.

"Although we temporarily defeated the Liao army today, we will continue to attack the city tomorrow. Why don't you take advantage of the darkness and leave quickly at night?"

"Leave? I won't leave now even if I lift the sedan chair eight times."

It was a critical moment to think about how to issue bank notes, how could He Shao leave.

"Although the men and horses you brought here are all desperate, it's okay to be caught by surprise. If you fight head-on, you will be defeated. I have a military order and I can't leave, but you are a merchant."

Yang Wenguang glanced at He Si

"Get your young master away tonight"

"Yang Hutou, you still have a bit of conscience and know that I am thinking about my safety. Let me tell you another good news. We sent out 500 people when we charged today and burned the Liao army's grain and grass depot."

"What did you say? The grain storehouse burned down?"

Yang Wenguang was excited. Without a grain storage, as long as he sticks to the city, the Liao army will naturally retreat within two days.

"I have a big deal now, do you want to do it?"

"I'm the chief general now, so the business is not very good." Yang Wenguang scratched his head, but he could still distinguish the priority from the secondary.

"This business can make your soldiers a small fortune, and then it can make me a big fortune."

"Tell me"

Yang Wenguang has the same level of trust in He Shao's ability to make money as he has in his fighting ability.

"Do you clean up the battlefield every time after a battle, and what spoils do you have?" He Shao asked.

"If these corpses are not buried in time, there will be a plague. When this kind of nomads fight, they usually put their wealth on horseback, so the spoils are also varied. There are still some usable weapons and armor on the battlefield that will be packed back as supplies. Whoever placed the order will receive it," Yang Wenguang said.

"What about the broken armor?"

"If it can be repaired and it can be used, it will be kept. If it is badly damaged, of course it will be thrown away."

He Shao excitedly slapped the table and applauded repeatedly, even God was helping him.

"How long will it take to return to Kaifeng from here?"

"Hedong Road is only a few hundred miles away from Kaifeng City. If you work hard, you can get there in one day and one night!"

"A Si, go to Lao Ji and ask him to send all the money he can bring back from the cabinet to Taiyuan Mansion, where he will set up a bank called Huitong Ticket Number!"

He Si took He Shao's letter and rushed to Kaifeng City overnight. Yang Wenguang stood aside and felt that he was a fool. He didn't understand what He Shao was going to do.

"Hutou, go and tell all the soldiers of the Kelan Army that when cleaning the battlefield, except for those that need to be recycled for supplies, I will collect all the remaining trophies, including the broken armor."

"Feng Lang, are you crazy?"

Yang Wenguang couldn't keep up with He Shao's crazy ideas, because most of the trophies captured on the marching battlefield couldn't be taken away with him, and most of them would be burned on the spot and bought with money?God knows how much money this will waste!

"You just have to believe that it is impossible for me to do business at a loss. I can recycle all these things, but because of the special situation now, I can't settle the money. I can only issue a bill, and the Tianbo Mansion will serve as an intermediary guarantee. When the war is over, rely on me. The bills can be exchanged into paper money at the Huitong Bank in Taiyuan Prefecture or Kaifeng City."

Yang Wenguang didn't understand what He Shao wanted to do, and in the end he chose to do what he said. The monthly salary of the imperial army is only six guan, and the Xiang army only has one guan. Yang Wenguang is happy to see that he can make some money without affecting the battle.

As soon as he said it, He Shao set up a table outside Yang Wenguang's military account, and a large scale beside it attracted many people to watch.

"Brothers, if you see any spoils while cleaning the battlefield, you can send them here. I can trust He Shao. He will give you a suitable price and issue you a receipt.

There is a place called Huitong Bank in Taiyuan Prefecture and Kaifeng City, you can go there and withdraw money with this receipt.”

"I, Yang Wenguang, relied on my ancestors to make up for this general of the Kelan Army. Originally, no copper stink was allowed in the ranks, but now that the two countries are at war, those of us who are soldiers will die someday. Keeping some points for family members can be regarded as reducing worries.

Even if you were killed on the battlefield for a while, I will send the money to your family members according to this bill, and I will guarantee it for Shao Shao in the name of Tianbo Mansion."

Originally, these officers and men were skeptical, but Yang Wenguang believed most of them after taking Tianbo Mansion's guarantee.
