Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 190 Depreciation of treasure money

"Let's do this, shorten the billing period from now on, and collect the current debt as soon as possible."

Shen Bin thought about it again and again and said softly.

In fact, there is no hope of saving these arrears. As long as the price of treasure notes stabilizes and stops depreciating, or even rebounds, he can still recover the cost of the money.

What's more, even if he can't get it back, as long as he can win the market, it's worth losing money and making a fuss. His family has a big business, so he can afford to lose the money.

"Yes, sir."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Is there any movement at the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce?" Shen Bin asked after giving his instructions.

He has always been concerned about the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce. When those shops suddenly switched to his side at first, he was worried and suspicious. However, later he found that the supply of Minghuang Chamber of Commerce to various stores continued to shrink, so he believed that these shops were because of Minghuang Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce could not meet their demand for goods, so they turned to their own side to purchase goods.

Later facts proved that this was indeed the case. The business of these stores has always been very good, and the demand for goods is very high. However, the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce has been reluctant to supply goods. This change is also reasonable.

As for why the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce reduced its supply to shops, this is easier to understand. Just look at his current situation and you will know that he is losing money by supplying goods now. It is estimated that Prince Consort Li also saw the depreciation of treasure notes and was afraid of the accounts. If you retract slowly, you will lose money, so that's why you do it.

But he, Shen Bin, is not afraid of losing money. He takes this opportunity to win these stores and make back the money he loses in the future!

"The Minghuang Chamber of Commerce seems to have slightly increased its supply to various shops recently, but it's not a lot."

The shopkeeper replied softly.

Shen Bin frowned slightly. Could it be that the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce started supplying goods again after seeing the recent stable trend of treasure notes?

In fact, Li Wei's arrangement was indispensable for the stabilization of Baoqian before. He asked Laifu to take down the old banknotes and not replace them. There were a lot of Baobao missing in the market. Coupled with the efforts of the Ministry of Accounts and Shen Bin's cooperation, Baobao became Only then did the banknotes stabilize at a position where the value of each banknote was less than [-] cents.

However, now that Li Wei has ordered a change of approach, the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce will soon use a large number of old banknotes for a run, and the treasure banknotes will definitely continue to depreciate significantly by then.

Shen Bin didn't know about Li Wei's next operations at this time, he just thought that he just wanted to regain the market.

"Forget it, let's put the matter of shortening the account period on hold for now and wait until we see the situation."

Shen Bin took back what he said. If it was true as he thought, he had already invested so much and could not give up at this time and return the market to the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce.

"Master, this..."

The shopkeeper was immediately embarrassed and wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Shen Bin raised his hand to stop him.

"Just wait and see."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper could only sigh.

……

At the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, Laifu began to follow Li Wei's instructions and began to distribute the goods stored in various warehouses by the Chamber of Commerce to various places, and Shen Jing's workshops were also operating at full capacity.

After a period of leisure, Abu and his deliverymen began to get busy again. They started running around the streets and alleys early every morning, using various donkey carts and small carts to visit various shops. deliver goods.

Although the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce can also sell goods on credit, they are far less generous than Shen Bin. They still have to recover part of the payment every time, and the account period is much shorter. Li Wei set the rules at the beginning and controlled this aspect. Very strict.After the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce began to supply various shops, a large amount of treasure banknotes began to flow to the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce. After receiving these treasure banknotes, Laifu immediately sent people to take the qualified faint banknotes to the bank's warehouse in Beijing. Go and exchange new banknotes.

Driven by these people, Xingyongku, which had been calm, became crowded again.Ordinary people who hold precious banknotes that cannot be ranked are eager to spend their old banknotes, preferring to discount them at a higher price.

The discount of old banknotes has led to a decline in the overall value of treasure banknotes. The previously stable treasure banknotes have become turbulent again. The value of each banknote has quickly dropped from 250 to [-] cash, and the trend has not stopped.

At Shen Bin's house, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over.

"Sir, it's bad! Those shops that used to switch to us have all switched to the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce to purchase goods!"

The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Shen Bin said in surprise: "So fast? It shouldn't be!"

Shen Bin frowned deeply. The conditions he offered were better than those of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, and he withdrew his plan to shorten the payment period. Ordinarily, these shops should not switch to the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce so happily!
"If you do this, any shop that betrays us will immediately go to collect the debt and get the payment back!"

"Okay, sir." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and then continued: "But there is one more thing I have to report to you, that is, the value of treasure banknotes has begun to depreciate again, and the speed is very fast. Now it has reached the point where it can only be exchanged for money." The price is 250 Wen!”

Shen Bin stood up suddenly and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

He had expected some stores to be snatched back by the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, but the treasure notes suddenly began to depreciate sharply again, which made him a little panicked.

Now he owes so much money for goods. If the value of his treasure currency continues to depreciate like this, all his money will be wasted.

"I sent someone to inquire, and they were from the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce. They suddenly started exchanging large amounts of money, and that's why this situation happened!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly reported the news he had learned to Shen Bin.

"Why did they do this?" Shen Bin asked with surprised eyes.

The shopkeeper shook his head. He couldn't understand that even if the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce distributed goods like this, there would still be debts owed by the store. Although they were strict in controlling the money and didn't owe much, it was still money. If the value of treasure money continued to depreciate, No matter how much money they make, they will still be a pile of waste paper in the end!

Shen Bin lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He had been in business for most of his life, and he immediately felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be a conspiracy, and he keenly grasped the key point, which was the value of the treasure.

This Prince Consort Li seems to want to manipulate the value of the treasure notes. If the treasure notes depreciate, his goods can be sold for more treasure notes, but it is wrong to do this, no matter how much he earns in the end. , it’s all waste paper, and you’ll still lose money in the end.

Does he still want to bring back the value of the treasure banknotes after he has earned enough?

Thinking of this, Shen Bin immediately shook his head and rejected the idea. This kind of banknotes have always only continued to depreciate, and it is difficult to appreciate them in value.

After all, banknotes are just a piece of paper. The court can print as many as they want. In the BC Yuan Dynasty, every time a new banknote was printed, the old banknotes would be discounted. Some of them would even be discarded if they were damaged. Who is responsible for the rot? Anyone in this situation can only admit that they are unlucky. This is also the reason why people would rather spend money at a discount. The discount is always invalid.

"In this way, I'll go out for a while, and you can stabilize the shops we have in hand first, and then we'll talk about it when I come back."

"Okay, sir!" The shopkeeper bowed and agreed.

Shen Bin gave instructions and hurried out the door. He wanted to find his cousin who worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs to find out what was happening with the treasure money now.
