Chapter 524 Shanxi Merchants!Double lead the way party!
Now that he has slept with his wife and daughter, he has to be short-mouthed and soft-hearted.Shou Han is not the kind of person who wipes his mouth after eating and drinking.
It is necessary to have a complete copy of the post, and invite Huang Yunfa to the mansion to recount it.
Sitting on both sides, Li Shouhan blushed and said with shame: "What happened yesterday is absurd, I am ashamed of Mr. Huang, but it has happened. If you can forgive me, please feel free to ask for compensation."
Huang Yunfa smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Ning Yuan's words are wrong. The so-called man's ambition is far away, and love for children is nothing more than a trivial matter. If Uncle Ning Yuan likes this way, the merchants can give it to him in the future. As for compensation, I dare not take it seriously." However, Shangmin has one thing to ask Uncle Ning Yuan, but it is stated in advance that it is a request. Whether Uncle Ning Yuan grants permission, Shangmin dare not say anything."
Li Shouhan still had a smile on his face after hearing this, but he was secretly ashamed in his heart. Your sister is indeed capital's innate profit-seeking nature!I have long been mentally prepared for the greed and shamelessness of businessmen, but seeing ≈≈ {}.{}.{} today is an eye-opener.As my grandfather said back then, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, those unscrupulous capitalists threatened that they would not hesitate to get their wives, daughters and concubines in order to get government contracts.No wonder the chairman wanted to engage in three antis and five antis back then.That's all!Your mother's ambition is thousands of miles away, but it's nothing more than betraying the country thousands of miles away.But these words can't be said now, after all, the wife and daughter who have just finished sex, can't pull up their pants and beat Wu Dalang and father-in-law, right?Thinking of this, Li Shouhan said: "Mr. Huang, you also know my Nanzhong law, even Benbo himself. You can't break the law arbitrarily. However, I can guarantee that if what you ask is reasonable and legal, Benbo will not make things difficult."
Huang Yunfa heard this, but didn't say much. He immediately got up and thanked Li Shouhan. Li Shouhan quickly stopped Huang Yunfa and said, "Mr. Huang, what are you doing? You haven't said anything yet, how do you know that I will definitely agree?"
Huang Yun showed a characteristic smile of a businessman and said, "Uncle, this matter is of great benefit to Uncle."
"Businessman Huang Yun is not talented, and he dare not imitate the sage and benefit the world. But he is willing to contribute to the world. So the businessman has an idea. In the market, the big transactions are still mainly silver, and the small people use all kinds of Tongbao. If Starting from the trumpet, only silver dollars are used to purchase goods. Only Nanzhong Tongbao is used to purchase goods such as paying the salaries of porters. After a few years, the money in the world can be attributed to one. To ensure this, the merchants are willing to first use the trumpeter If there are other companies that want to exchange in the future, I hope that the uncle will also allow Huang to handle it on his behalf. Don’t worry, the uncle will never take advantage of the silver dollar exchange, I don’t know What do you think?"
You damn it!Shou Han didn't know how to deal with this smiling guy, he wanted to push him out and kill him, but he couldn't say it.There are other people's outhouses and daughters in my house, and if it is spread, it will be a bit of a good thing to say.
"In order to occupy the daughter of businessman Huang Yunfa's concubine, Uncle Ning Yuan just found an excuse to kill Huang."
In this case, those guys in Chaozhong and Jiangnan who hate Shouhan to the core can definitely tell, and it is inevitable that after the Hunan Army ordered Zhang Wenxiang to assassinate Ma Xinyi, they also wrote some literary works such as operas and commentaries and staged them in various places. In that way, not only would Uncle Ning Yuan's name be a little bit like a high official from Ximen, but the banner of the Southern Guangdong Army would also be tainted by these people.
However, Huang Yunfa's proposition, as he himself said, brought huge benefits to Li Shouhan and the Southern Guangdong Army.
Shou Han knew very well that Huang Yunfa's coming this time was definitely not the intention of his family, but the request of the entire Shanxi Merchants Group.
The voice of the entire Shanxi Merchants Group, even Shou Han, his Nanyue Army, and Nanzhong Group should carefully weigh it.
Serve as the financial leader of the Southern Guangdong Army.This is the request of Jinshang Group.
"Sure enough, it's a good plan! On the one hand, we have colluded with Jiannu, sold grain and rice materials wantonly, and helped Jiannu sell the property they looted in the interior; The scholars have a good relationship. Now they have joined the lord's command to do money exchange business with the lord, it really is a good business!"
Shou Han used the excuse that the matter was a big one, and he wanted to discuss with many of Long Shengxing's managers and shopkeepers, which was very perfunctory for Huang Yunfa.Looking at the figure who exited Xingyuan after respectfully saluting, Shou Han suddenly felt very powerless.
Obviously knowing the danger of the person in front of him and the giant behind him, but he can't kill him, alas!Who let his first boss can't control his second son, let this guy become his cheap father-in-law, and conveniently, he gave him an environmental protection logo hat on his head?
In desperation, Shou Han had no choice but to convene shopkeepers of nearby shops to analyze the pros and cons, to see whether it is feasible to carry out financial cooperation with Shanxi merchants.
Chen Guoxi first heard others firing a cannon, but his face was full of smiles.In his opinion, what he said was too bookish.Speaking of doing business with enemies of the imperial court, did Long Shengxing do little?
He didn't talk much, he just signaled to Shou Han quietly, there was Wang An standing outside the door, that guy was an eunuch in the palace.
"Okay, Wang An, you go and tell them to bring the gentlemen's lunch here, and Benbo will accompany the gentlemen to eat here, and then go back to have dinner with them at night."
As he spoke, he couldn't help thinking of the rich charm of Qi Muge and the greenness of Huang's family. This mother and daughter, one seems to be a ripe peach, which is sweet and juicy when bitten, and the other is just entering the mature stage. Fruit, slightly sweet and sour.
However, from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see some embarrassment on the faces of the people present. Shou Han couldn't help but feel hot, and waved Wang An back.
"Hey! Look at Uncle Ning Yuan, and look at our emperor." Wang An muttered to himself.
"The two are about the same age, it seems that the uncle is older. But look at the spirit of the uncle, his face is ruddy, his voice is loud, and he speaks confidently. He lives luxuriously every day, and his clothes and food are exquisite. That's it. Between the beds is also majestic and majestic, killing the two girls without stopping. But look at our emperor again. Compared with him, he is a miserable little country old man. How many days have not seen luck Come on concubine."
With a flash in his mind, Wang An quietly reminded himself, "We are no longer the servants of Emperor Chongzhen, we are now the servants of Ningyuan Bofu. In any case, we must remember this identity clearly."
"...My lord, there was already a cotton gin in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was recorded in Wang Zhen's agricultural book. But at the beginning of the dynasty, when the Taizu founded the country, the world was in chaos, and this thing was lost. Fortunately, Xu Guangqi and Xu Xiangguo in Shanghai more than ten years ago It was "invented" again. The subordinates thought that this thing can be vigorously promoted in various farms. Today's agitator, one person can be three people. Among them, in Jurong style, one person can be four people; Taicang In this way, two people can be eight people."
Someone behind him suggested to Shou Han to use a cotton gin to improve the processing efficiency of cotton.
For the promotion of agricultural machinery, the Southern Guangdong Army has always spared no effort.What's more.There are already successful precedents for this thing.Immediately Shou Han nodded his approval.However, he was secretly muttering in his heart.Although this thing is recorded in the Agricultural Policy Book, but this thing is not very easy to use, really easy to use.What is not limited by the power situation is Whitman's cotton gin.However, right now, having this is better than nothing.
Seeing that Wang An's figure disappeared, everyone began to discuss the important matters in their hearts.
The people present are well aware of how competitive and lethal their own money is.Ever since Zhang Juzheng, Chancellor of Jiangling, began to implement a whipping method to collect taxes and only collect silver, treasuries in various places have become silver treasuries.However, limited by the level of economic development and technical conditions, if you talk about the whole country, the content of money and regulations are different between provinces.There are horseshoe treasures, official treasures, fine silk noodles, etc., and so on.Generally speaking, the silver in the south of Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces is relatively uniform in quality and regulations because of the affluence of the place, while the silver in Sichuan, Guizhou, and even more distant Uszang is much rougher.
The large-scale circulation and use of the silver dollar we are familiar with began in the late Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty followed the habit since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Also called "Baoyin", it weighs 50 taels, is oblong in shape, with both ends upturned, shaped like a boat, and looks like a horseshoe when it is buckled, so it is also called "horseshoe silver".There are various shapes of treasure silver circulating in various places, so there are also names and colors such as long trough, square trough, single dip, and double dip.The second is the middle ingot, which weighs ten taels, or seven to eight taels. It is generally made into a hammer shape, and some are made into a treasure silver shape, called "small ingots".The third is 锞子, also known as Xiao 锞, small ingots, weighing one to five taels, mostly made into the shape of small steamed buns;The industry or institution that melted and cast silver in the Qing Dynasty was called Yinfu, also called furnace room or silver furnace.There are two kinds of bank shops, government-run and private. Most of the official bank shops are affiliated institutions of financial institutions, such as treasuries of governments at all levels.Private silver shops need to be approved by the government, and the government will issue a license. The silver used by merchants and people can be melted in silver furnaces at will.The silver furnace should cast the location of the silver furnace, its name and the name of the silversmith on the silver ingots it casts, so as to be responsible for the weight and fineness of the silver ingots it casts.In the 41st year of Qianlong (1776), it was also stipulated that in addition to casting the names of Shangzhou counties and silversmiths, the diding ingots sent to the central government by the provinces must also be cast with the year and month for easy verification.If the fineness is not enough, or the silver color of the bottom and upper part of the ingot is different, in addition to punishing the undertaker, the silver taels must be taken back and recast before payment.
The two main problems in the circulation of silver taels are the fineness and weight of silver taels.The silver tael issued by the Ming and Qing dynasties—"grain silver", although it is called "pure silver" and its fineness is determined to be [-]%, in fact, it does not reach [-]% pure silver, and the silver content is only [-]%.The silver used by merchants and people in various places is of different fineness, color and shape, so there are many names, such as Yuansi in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, salt in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places; soil troughs and willow troughs in Sichuan. , fennel; Shanxi's Xicao, Shuisi, Shanxi's Yuancao;Although silver ingots vary in quality and name in different places, the weight of pure silver must be converted according to the standard of [-]% of the feet stipulated by the government when trading.In the Qing Dynasty, the weighing standard of silver taels was "ping", which refers to the weight standard of a certain unit (generally referring to taels) when the balance is weighed, so it is also called "ping weight".There are hundreds of kinds of "ping" used in the country, the main four are Kuping, Caoping, Guanping, and Shiping. Kuping was formulated during the Kangxi period and is an important standard for the government to collect taxes and cashiers.The Kupin in the center is different from the Kupin in the local governments.Among them, Guangdong Kuping is the largest and Ningbo is the smallest.
Moreover, there were a lot of counterfeit silver at that time, and there were many people who boiled copper, tin and lead with potion, drilled holes to inject copper and lead, cast copper and lead into ingots and then outsourced silver. (As for the matter of counterfeit silver, interested friends can go to Mr. Feng Menglong’s Three Words and Two Pai, and Emperor Yongzheng of Eryuehe, there are descriptions in it. If it is not to guard against counterfeit silver and exchange scattered silver at the same time, those Big merchants will not prepare scissors to inspect and cut silver. In Lihe film and television works, one ingot to pay for a meal is basically nonsense.)…
"Look. The exchange of silver dollars and our own Tongbao with Huang Yunfa. What scale should be controlled?" Shou Han thought for a moment, then asked everyone.
This undoubtedly controls the discussion on the technical level. I decided to cooperate with Shanxi merchants. Give me an idea.See what scale level the control is at.
Which one of Chen Guoxi's group is not a genius who just got out of the crowd?Immediately understood the meaning of the Lord.
"That's fine! Anyway, if our silver dollars and Tongbao are used in Nanzhong, it would be a bit of a waste. We have to try to avoid money and high prices, and have a headache to give various subsidies to farmers and workers. It is better to transfer the silver dollars to the inland! "
Several shopkeepers and deacons of Longshengxing who were doing business in Denglai, Henan, Shandong secretly planned in their hearts.
"My lord. In my humble opinion, how about using the first transaction to exchange one million silver dollars with Huang's house and Tong Bao equivalent to one million silver dollars? After that, it will be increased every year or according to the agreed time limit?"
Chen Guoxi thought for a while and proposed a plan.
"Benbo doesn't care about these things. You are all proficient in this way, remember, don't hurt the foundation of my Nanzhong, don't hurt the people in the interior."
"The subordinates will always remember the Lord's teachings."
"Okay, let's eat!"
After a sumptuous lunch that made Wang An and the others weep secretly, Chen Guoxi calmly took a few assistants to a compound of Huang Yunfa by the Daming Lake.
"Treasurer Huang, it really is a good trick, easy to calculate. The two women made a hero like my lord unable to advance or retreat, unable to stop. They had no choice but to submit unwillingly."
Seeing Huang Yunfa's face, Chen Guoxi sneered twice, and threw a few words to Huang Yunfa's clip gun and stick.
"Everyone, each other. When you do business, you always need some means that are not known to outsiders. For example, Mr. Chen, you can move freely among millions of thieves and be treated as a guest by thieves everywhere. It is Huang who will learn for decades."
Chen Guoxi was not surprised to hear that Huang Yun revealed his old background in a calm manner, and exposed the relationship between Chen Guoxi and the peasant army under Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai who were currently besieging Kaifeng. Chen Guoxi was not surprised. It is also an open secret to communicate closely with each other based on the relationship between Qin and Jin provinces.I don't see that since Gao Yingxiang, there has been a large number of peasant troops who have traveled from Shanxi to and from the Central Plains?Aren't they all taking other paths?You can also say that Xuanda's army and horses have meritorious defense, but is it really for purely military reasons?
"If the shopkeeper is like this, the officials in various places will probably spend more money in the future, and the life of the people in the Central Plains will be even more difficult!" Chen Guoxi changed his tone, his tone softened, and his words were full of words. Feelings of compassion.
"Shopkeeper Chen's words are on point! When I went to meet my uncle that day, what I said was of great benefit to him, and it is precisely because of this! Shopkeeper, we are all businessmen who travel far and wide. If this is the case, it is inevitable that the local governments will collect fire consumption, or even more. But in this way, Uncle’s immigration plan can be carried out. You are outside Kaifeng City Only friends can we have a steady stream of soldiers!"
The two guys looked at each other for a long while, neither of them said anything, but there was a vague smile on their faces.
Then, the two sides started business negotiations.
On behalf of the Nanyue Army Group, Chen Guoxi reached an agreement with Huang Yunfa's Shanxi Merchants System on authorizing the Shanxi Merchants System to remit Nanzhong silver dollars and Tongbao. However, the two sides had heated discussions on the scale and quantity of the exchange.
"It's only 200 million? Well, that shopkeeper Chen! Isn't this amount too small?"...
After hearing Chen Guoxi's offer, Huang Yunfa couldn't help grinning.Started to complain.If he could only have an exchange quota of 200 million silver dollars, then he would have lost his fortune in this business. 200 million yuan sounds like a lot, but the average share of the eight Shanxi merchants is only more than [-] yuan each. What's more, there are still many large and small businesses under the eight merchants who need to allocate some. I'm afraid that each of the eight of them has [-] in their hands.
Seeing Huang Yunfa's distraught look, Chen Guoxi felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus shaved ice in the dog days.Forgive you for being an old fox.In the face of our absolute strength, we must obediently deflate!
"Dadong Huang's family, everything is difficult at the beginning. Our two families have just started this business. Everyone should be more cautious. However, a certain family also asked the lord for an explanation."
Chen Guoxi deliberately betrayed a pass.But he didn't expose it, he just bargained with Huang Yunfa, entangled in the exchange price of silver and silver dollars.
Huang Yunfa simply stopped asking.Just be patient and carefully grind the price with Chen Guoxi.
The two groups of people discussed from never to until Youshi.
"Boss, that's it! One tael of Zusewen silver, in exchange for one silver dollar from your side."
Some exhausted people talking about the negotiations, repeating the results just now.
"Okay! A certain family will report this price to my lord, and your silver will be exchanged according to this price, as much silver as we have!"
Chen Guoxi deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"really?!"
Huang Yunfa couldn't help but be overjoyed.If there is such a condition, let him wash the wives, concubines and daughters of the family and give them to Uncle Ning Yuan, and he will also send them with drums and gongs.
Shanxi merchants have nothing else, but they have money.It has been accumulated by several generations over a hundred years, let alone the eight merchants alone, what can they do if there are hundreds of catties of gold winter melons and silver winter melons in the warehouse?
Now that the gold and silver held under pressure can be turned into liquid funds, how can Huang Yun not be excited?With these silver dollars as the only currency, the ticket number and exchange business discussed by Fan Yongdou and others can be carried out that day.
In that way, it would be much more profitable and less risky than trekking thousands of miles across the grasslands and deserts against the wind and snow to transport smuggled goods to Mongolia to build slaves.
"When I went out, my uncle deliberately explained to me that the matter of the day before was due to the kindness of shopkeeper Huang, and there was no way to repay it. I asked Mr. Huang to be involved and take charge of the money exchange between your fellow villager and me in Longshengxing."
Shou Han also generously returned a favor to Huang Yunfa, replacing the environmental protection logo on his head with a golden hat.
Imagining that the tide of silver would pass through his hands in the future, Huang Yunfa seemed to be intoxicated by the sweet smell of silver.
"In the future, the money will be exchanged from my family to Mr. Chen. As for the amount of silver dollars to be returned, Mr. Chen will decide. I can trust Mr. Chen!"
Toss it with peaches and plums and repay it with Qiong Yao.Huang Yunfa also generously gave Chen Guoxi a big pie, and he didn't have to pay for it himself anyway.
"I don't dare to take it. Does the old club have any words and things to give to the family in Fuzhong to bring to Miss Huang?"
Chen Guoxi pushed Wang Xi in front of Huang Yunfa and asked.
Huang Yunfa understands the meaning of this very well. After our business is over, the connection between you and the two live treasures you presented will also be severed, otherwise everyone will look a little ugly in the future.
At that moment, Huang Yun sent people to pack all the daily necessities of the Muge mother and daughter, including clothes and jewelry, into boxes and cages, and hand them over to Wang Xi to bring them back.It is unavoidable to stuff some gold and silver jewelry, headgear and other things into the inside. After all, a husband and wife must have some incense. Who knows if there will be a place to use the pillow style of this mother and daughter in the future?
A deal was concluded that benefited the Southern Guangdong Army, Shanxi merchants, Korean, Chinese and military local officials, and even Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others.
However, the only ones who suffered were the people from all parts of Daming.As Huang Yunfa said, after the use of silver dollars, the fire consumption in various places was collected correctly, or even more, turning countless lingering peasants who were struggling on the death line into hungry people, refugees, or entered Li Zicheng The camp of the peasant army, or boarded Li Shouhan's big ship and went south to reclaim wasteland.
When the vehicles of Chen Guoxi and others were walking along the bluestone road by the Daming Lake to the palace of King De, several cavalrymen galloped past Ximen, shouting incessantly.
"Great victory! Great victory!"

The two main problems in the circulation of silver taels are the fineness and weight of silver taels.The silver tael issued by the Ming and Qing dynasties—"grain silver", although it is called "pure silver" and its fineness is determined to be [-]%, in fact, it does not reach [-]% pure silver, and the silver content is only [-]%.The silver used by merchants and people in various places is of different fineness, color and shape, so there are many names, such as Yuansi in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, salt in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places; soil troughs and willow troughs in Sichuan. , fennel; Shanxi's Xicao, Shuisi, Shanxi's Yuancao;Although silver ingots vary in quality and name in different places, the weight of pure silver must be converted according to the standard of [-]% of the feet stipulated by the government when trading.In the Qing Dynasty, the weighing standard of silver taels was "ping", which refers to the weight standard of a certain unit (generally referring to taels) when the balance is weighed, so it is also called "ping weight".There are hundreds of kinds of "ping" used in the country, the main four are Kuping, Caoping, Guanping, and Shiping. Kuping was formulated during the Kangxi period and is an important standard for the government to collect taxes and cashiers.The Kupin in the center is different from the Kupin in the local governments.Among them, Guangdong Kuping is the largest and Ningbo is the smallest.
Moreover, there were a lot of counterfeit silver at that time, and there were many people who boiled copper, tin and lead with potion, drilled holes to inject copper and lead, cast copper and lead into ingots and then outsourced silver. (As for the matter of counterfeit silver, interested friends can go to Mr. Feng Menglong’s Three Words and Two Pai, and Emperor Yongzheng of Eryuehe, there are descriptions in it. If it is not to guard against counterfeit silver and exchange scattered silver at the same time, those Big merchants will not prepare scissors to inspect and cut silver. In Lihe film and television works, one ingot to pay for a meal is basically nonsense.)…
"Look. The exchange of silver dollars and our own Tongbao with Huang Yunfa. What scale should be controlled?" Shou Han thought for a moment, then asked everyone.
This undoubtedly controls the discussion on the technical level. I decided to cooperate with Shanxi merchants. Give me an idea.See what scale level the control is at.
Which one of Chen Guoxi's group is not a genius who just got out of the crowd?Immediately understood the meaning of the Lord.
"That's fine! Anyway, if our silver dollars and Tongbao are used in Nanzhong, it would be a bit of a waste. We have to try to avoid money and high prices, and have a headache to give various subsidies to farmers and workers. It is better to transfer the silver dollars to the inland! "
Several shopkeepers and deacons of Longshengxing who were doing business in Denglai, Henan, Shandong secretly planned in their hearts.
"My lord. In my humble opinion, how about using the first transaction to exchange one million silver dollars with Huang's house and Tong Bao equivalent to one million silver dollars? After that, it will be increased every year or according to the agreed time limit?"
Chen Guoxi thought for a while and proposed a plan.
"Benbo doesn't care about these things. You are all proficient in this way, remember, don't hurt the foundation of my Nanzhong, don't hurt the people in the interior."
"The subordinates will always remember the Lord's teachings."
"Okay, let's eat!"
After a sumptuous lunch that made Wang An and the others weep secretly, Chen Guoxi calmly took a few assistants to a compound of Huang Yunfa by the Daming Lake.
"Treasurer Huang, it really is a good trick, easy to calculate. The two women made a hero like my lord unable to advance or retreat, unable to stop. They had no choice but to submit unwillingly."
Seeing Huang Yunfa's face, Chen Guoxi sneered twice, and threw a few words to Huang Yunfa's clip gun and stick.
"Everyone, each other. When you do business, you always need some means that are not known to outsiders. For example, Mr. Chen, you can move freely among millions of thieves and be treated as a guest by thieves everywhere. It is Huang who will learn for decades."
Chen Guoxi was not surprised to hear that Huang Yun revealed his old background in a calm manner, and exposed the relationship between Chen Guoxi and the peasant army under Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai who were currently besieging Kaifeng. Chen Guoxi was not surprised. It is also an open secret to communicate closely with each other based on the relationship between Qin and Jin provinces.I don't see that since Gao Yingxiang, there has been a large number of peasant troops who have traveled from Shanxi to and from the Central Plains?Aren't they all taking other paths?You can also say that Xuanda's army and horses have meritorious defense, but is it really for purely military reasons?
"If the shopkeeper is like this, the officials in various places will probably spend more money in the future, and the life of the people in the Central Plains will be even more difficult!" Chen Guoxi changed his tone, his tone softened, and his words were full of words. Feelings of compassion.
"Shopkeeper Chen's words are on point! When I went to meet my uncle that day, what I said was of great benefit to him, and it is precisely because of this! Shopkeeper, we are all businessmen who travel far and wide. If this is the case, it is inevitable that the local governments will collect fire consumption, or even more. But in this way, Uncle’s immigration plan can be carried out. You are outside Kaifeng City Only friends can we have a steady stream of soldiers!"
The two guys looked at each other for a long while, neither of them said anything, but there was a vague smile on their faces.
Then, the two sides started business negotiations.
On behalf of the Nanyue Army Group, Chen Guoxi reached an agreement with Huang Yunfa's Shanxi Merchants System on authorizing the Shanxi Merchants System to remit Nanzhong silver dollars and Tongbao. However, the two sides had heated discussions on the scale and quantity of the exchange.
"It's only 200 million? Well, that shopkeeper Chen! Isn't this amount too small?"...
After hearing Chen Guoxi's offer, Huang Yunfa couldn't help grinning.Started to complain.If he could only have an exchange quota of 200 million silver dollars, then he would have lost his fortune in this business. 200 million yuan sounds like a lot, but the average share of the eight Shanxi merchants is only more than [-] yuan each. What's more, there are still many large and small businesses under the eight merchants who need to allocate some. I'm afraid that each of the eight of them has [-] in their hands.
Seeing Huang Yunfa's distraught look, Chen Guoxi felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus shaved ice in the dog days.Forgive you for being an old fox.In the face of our absolute strength, we must obediently deflate!
"Dadong Huang's family, everything is difficult at the beginning. Our two families have just started this business. Everyone should be more cautious. However, a certain family also asked the lord for an explanation."
Chen Guoxi deliberately betrayed a pass.But he didn't expose it, he just bargained with Huang Yunfa, entangled in the exchange price of silver and silver dollars.
Huang Yunfa simply stopped asking.Just be patient and carefully grind the price with Chen Guoxi.
The two groups of people discussed from never to until Youshi.
"Boss, that's it! One tael of Zusewen silver, in exchange for one silver dollar from your side."
Some exhausted people talking about the negotiations, repeating the results just now.
"Okay! A certain family will report this price to my lord, and your silver will be exchanged according to this price, as much silver as we have!"
Chen Guoxi deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"really?!"
Huang Yunfa couldn't help but be overjoyed.If there is such a condition, let him wash the wives, concubines and daughters of the family and give them to Uncle Ning Yuan, and he will also send them with drums and gongs.
Shanxi merchants have nothing else, but they have money.It has been accumulated by several generations over a hundred years, let alone the eight merchants alone, what can they do if there are hundreds of catties of gold winter melons and silver winter melons in the warehouse?
Now that the gold and silver held under pressure can be turned into liquid funds, how can Huang Yun not be excited?With these silver dollars as the only currency, the ticket number and exchange business discussed by Fan Yongdou and others can be carried out that day.
In that way, it would be much more profitable and less risky than trekking thousands of miles across the grasslands and deserts against the wind and snow to transport smuggled goods to Mongolia to build slaves.
"When I went out, my uncle deliberately explained to me that the matter of the day before was due to the kindness of shopkeeper Huang, and there was no way to repay it. I asked Mr. Huang to be involved and take charge of the money exchange between your fellow villager and me in Longshengxing."
Shou Han also generously returned a favor to Huang Yunfa, replacing the environmental protection logo on his head with a golden hat.
Imagining that the tide of silver would pass through his hands in the future, Huang Yunfa seemed to be intoxicated by the sweet smell of silver.
"In the future, the money will be exchanged from my family to Mr. Chen. As for the amount of silver dollars to be returned, Mr. Chen will decide. I can trust Mr. Chen!"
Toss it with peaches and plums and repay it with Qiong Yao.Huang Yunfa also generously gave Chen Guoxi a big pie, and he didn't have to pay for it himself anyway.
"I don't dare to take it. Does the old club have any words and things to give to the family in Fuzhong to bring to Miss Huang?"
Chen Guoxi pushed Wang Xi in front of Huang Yunfa and asked.
Huang Yunfa understands the meaning of this very well. After our business is over, the connection between you and the two live treasures you presented will also be severed, otherwise everyone will look a little ugly in the future.
At that moment, Huang Yun sent people to pack all the daily necessities of the Muge mother and daughter, including clothes and jewelry, into boxes and cages, and hand them over to Wang Xi to bring them back.It is unavoidable to stuff some gold and silver jewelry, headgear and other things into the inside. After all, a husband and wife must have some incense. Who knows if there will be a place to use the pillow style of this mother and daughter in the future?
A deal was concluded that benefited the Southern Guangdong Army, Shanxi merchants, Korean, Chinese and military local officials, and even Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others.
However, the only ones who suffered were the people from all parts of Daming.As Huang Yunfa said, after the use of silver dollars, the fire consumption in various places was collected correctly, or even more, turning countless lingering peasants who were struggling on the death line into hungry people, refugees, or entered Li Zicheng The camp of the peasant army, or boarded Li Shouhan's big ship and went south to reclaim wasteland.
When the vehicles of Chen Guoxi and others were walking along the bluestone road by the Daming Lake to the palace of King De, several cavalrymen galloped past Ximen, shouting incessantly.
"Great victory! Great victory!"
