Chapter 113 Reminder (please recommend tickets, thank you!!!)

Li Shimin stroked these silks and satins again, the meaning was self-evident.

The old man sighed and explained patiently:
"Who can spend thousands of taels of silver at every turn, how can he be an ordinary person?"

"Those caravans don't care about this little silver. Trading with the Turkic people will make more profits here!"

"With this bank note, it's more convenient to do business with them, why worry about the ten taels of silver from the bank?"

"I used to be afraid that the Turks would rob them of their goods, but now that I have the banknotes in hand, as long as I tear them up cruelly, the Turks won't get anything."

"Turkic people are not fools. They don't have to do such thankless things. They are much safer than before."

"Moreover, some caravans even offered preferential prices to the Turkic people to accept the bank notes. The 100 taels of silver bills were only discounted by 90 taels to buy their goods."

"These savages are also smart, because the bank opened up, and they insisted that if they want to sell the goods to them, they must give them 100 taels of goods for 110 taels of silver!"

"Turkic people can even make a difference of 20 taels out of thin air. Who wouldn't like that?"

"This silver ticket is now a sweet potato. If you don't accept silver tickets, then the Turkic people are not rare to do business with you!"

After the old man's careful explanation, Li Shimin nodded slightly, knowing clearly.

Needless to say, this bank was created by Changsun Wuji and the others.

And those caravans who insisted on using silver bills for settlement, and even gave preferential treatment to the Turkic people, were naturally theirs too.

The trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks was often a transaction of valuables.

But these values ​​are only relative.

The prices of Silk and Porcelain of Tang Dynasty are relatively stable in China, but if they are sold to foreign countries such as Turks, there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

On the contrary, the jewelry and war horses taken in by Hu merchants can also be sold at a higher price in Datang.

Even though there are some taxes to be paid, the merchants still keep going, because the price difference they can earn is too high.

But right now, the emergence of bank notes is something that businessmen on both sides are happy to see.

In the previous transactions, the merchant would come with the goods and leave with the goods.

Using bank notes can save at least half of the transportation time.

And the security is also greatly increased, it is not too fragrant.

Especially for the Turkic people, trading with bank notes can make a bigger price difference, so why not do it?
What economic war, what inflation, the nomads on the grasslands don't even have serious coins, so they care about this?

The currency of the Turkic people is those animals, a natural disaster can make them bankrupt, how can they figure out the danger behind this banknote?
Li Shimin sighed: "The old man has a thorough understanding of this bank note."

"Who does business here, who doesn't know this bank note?" The old man said cheerfully, "How much satin does the customer want?"

"Let me tell you, the Turkic people like these silks and satins the most. If you buy one or two from me, you can sell them for three or five taels!"

"That's why I'm old, so I guard this shop. If I were young, I would have gone to the Turks by myself!"

"The old man is joking." Li Shimin shook his head, "This satin is not worth a dollar or two."

"Then I'll give you a cheaper price, eight dollars!" The old man's face showed a look of pain.

But Li Shimin remained unmoved: "Two dollars a horse! What kind of silk is this!"

Being exposed by someone, the old man became a little annoyed: "Customer, it's fine if you don't buy it, but don't ruin my reputation out of thin air!"

Li Shimin got up and left, followed by Changsun Wuji and Yu Chigong.

"Hey! Hey! Don't go, my guest, five cents! Five cents!"

"Three coins! Three coins a horse!"

"Okay, okay! Two dollars is two dollars, just treat it as a friend!"

Li Shimin pretended he didn't hear it, and left straight away.

A child stuck his head out from behind the cabinet:

"Ah Weng, you are too greedy, you usually only sell this satin for a penny!"

……

Li Shimin walked on the street and said softly to Changsun Wuji:

"Auxiliary machine, you have done a good job in promoting the banknote. Let's go to the Turks to have a look."

Yuchi Gong became anxious, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty's body is invaluable, what if you are bumped by those Turkic savages..."

Li Shimin raised a hand, motioning him to shut up: "That day on the Wei River, I didn't even fear Jieli, why are I afraid of these barbarians?"

"Auxiliary machine, do you have a bank note?"

Changsun Wuji tapped his chest: "I have already brought tens of thousands of taels of silver notes."

"Why bring so much?"

"I printed it myself, so naturally I have to print some large amount and carry it with me."

Li Shimin made a serious face on purpose: "Okay, auxiliary machine, I didn't expect that you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, would do such a thing to enrich oneself!"

After staying with Jiang Sheng for a long time, Li Er also learned some strange oral habits.

"Your Majesty just joked, this is taken from the bank, in case His Majesty needs it anytime soon."

Changsun Wuji touched his face, a little puzzled: "Is this also considered thick eyebrows and big eyes?"

He glanced at Yuchi Gong again, and said, "General Yuchi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, right?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Yuchi Gong: "..."

This street is where the county's market is located, and all trade must come here.

Therefore, Li Shimin saw a few Turkic businessmen within a short distance, and one of them was leading a tall horse, which was very miraculous.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

Li Shimin walked up to the Turkic man slowly, but before he could speak, the Turkic man spoke out first, his tone full of impatience:

"This horse is worth a hundred taels, and only cashier receipts!"

"If you want to buy it, give the bank note, if you don't buy it, get out!"

Yu Chigong was not happy, so he wanted to go forward to show some color to the Turkic man, but Changsun Wuji blocked it with his hand.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, then stretched out again, and walked away with Changsun Wuji and Yu Chigong.

Behind him, came the disdainful laughter of a few Turkic people.

"Hmph, the Tang people are really spineless!"

"Don't forget, a few years ago our Khan fought outside their Chang'an city!"

"It's ridiculous that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, trembling under the Khan's majesty, finally lost a lot of good things to our Khan!"

"Aren't they using this banknote just to please us? 100 taels of silver bills only buy our 90 taels of goods. They must be afraid of us!"

"Haha! Sooner or later, these Tang people will kneel under the horseshoes of our Turks!"

Yuchi Gong's eyes were shattered, he wished he could turn around and kill these Turkic barbarians on the spot.

"Respect!" Li Shimin suppressed his voice and sternly said: "This trip is a top secret, if anyone knows what I'm doing, anyone can guess that it has something to do with the bank note!"

"Three months, another three months, I will let you be the vanguard, kill me!"

"Let these Turkic people be proud for a while, and I will let them know that these bank notes are their reminders!"
