Chapter 458

The issue of banknote tickets

Zhao Xianxing immediately understood: "Young Master Liu's words are reasonable. We can't bear the responsibility. Even if the prefect Tao wants these Liaodong rice beans to be temporarily stored in Hefengcang, he has to take the responsibility first. He refuses to take the responsibility. Then I am just a Xiaocang official. If I can't bear such a big responsibility, I can only say sorry!"

Lei Chuyang reminded him that Zhao seemed to know what the key to the matter was. Now these Liaodong people are indeed powerful. They not only follow the path of Dengzhou Prefecture, but also follow the path of Dengzhou General Town and Denglai Road.

Now, it is said that they have no scruples in transporting rice and beans from Liaodong. They have directly parked dozens of official ships in Penglai Water City. However, no matter how powerful their magical powers are, their life gate is in the hands of Zhao Xianxing.

This life gate is the Hefeng Cang in Zhao Xianxing's hand. Zhao Xianxing said proudly: "I see where their rice beans can be stored! They transported 200,000 stones this time, and it is said that they will transport millions of stones later!"

Yes, the energy of the grain merchants in Liaodong is amazing, but the more energy comes, the more food they need, the more amazing the warehouse capacity they need. In the entire Dengzhou area, there are the largest warehouse capacity of Hefeng Warehouse.

As a prefecture warehouse, Hefengcang is naturally the well-deserved first warehouse in Dengzhou. If Hefengcang says he is the second in Dengzhou, there is absolutely no second warehouse that dares to say that he is the third in Dengzhou. The entire Hefengcang is located in the east of Dengzhou Prefecture City, with 197 warehouses, which is almost a small city.

A warehouse in Hefeng Cang was taken outside to at least a large warehouse. It was already very good to have a hundred stones of grain in the private warehouse. Even a top gentry like Zhong Yuzheng in Qingzhou could only take out nearly a thousand stones of grain in the year of the Great Wilderness. However, a warehouse in Hefeng Cang could store at least thousands of stones of grain, and some large warehouses could even store tens of thousands of stones of rice and beans.

Now the 200,000 stone rice beans transported by the grain merchants in Liaodong may soon face the problem of how to save them. Penglai Water City cannot save these 200,000 stone rice beans. Not to mention 200,000 stones, even 100,000 stones or even 50,000 stones Penglai Water City cannot save them at all. They are piled on the dock and let the wind and rain blow.

Although Penglai Water City used to be known as the leading port in the East Three Prefectures, the port facilities here are very incomplete, the warehouse size is small and unreasonable, and it cannot store much materials at all, so merchant ships keep running towards Longkou.

As a port, Penglai Water City cannot save so many rice beans, let alone Penglai Prefecture City. The barn warehouses in the private sector are too small, and it is the limit to save a thousand eight hundred stones, but Liaodong transported more than 200,000 stones at one time.

Even if the Liaodong grain merchants found some larger private barns, they probably wouldn't dare to open these private barns. After all, these barns may be poorly designed and poorly ventilated. The ground often leaks when it is wet. It is natural to take great risks to store hundreds or thousands of stones of rice grains in these warehouses.

Not to mention that it is a year of great disaster. I wonder how many people are eyeing these Liaodong rice beans and are ready to rush up and take a big bite, spread the 200,000-stone rice valley into dozens of warehouses, and set up defenses everywhere and passively. This is a great irresponsible for their own money bags. Just an anti-theft and robbery is enough to make these Liaodong merchants run away.

In this case, they can only give priority to borrowing the warehouse capacity of Hefeng Cang, but Zhao Xianxing will certainly refuse these Liaodong merchants with confidence: "Old Lei, please rest assured that as long as I am a warehouse ambassador in Hefeng Cang for one day, these Liaodong profiteers will not want to save a grain of rice in Hefeng Cang!"

Zhao Xianxing felt that he had a strong anger, and Lei Chuyang also told Zhao Xianxing: "Old Zhao, don't worry, as long as you do this, Mr. Liu will not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly. After dealing with these Liaodong businessmen, you will naturally be indispensable."

"I'm definitely fine!" Zhao Xianxing suddenly thought of something: "You have to be careful in the preparation warehouse, the storage capacity there is not small!"

There should have been three important warehouses in the entire Dengzhou Prefecture City. In addition to the Fengcang, Dengzhou Prefecture and Penglai County should each have a reserve warehouse. However, in actual operation, these two reserve warehouses are combined into one, and even the rice beans inside are combined into one. The two rice beans handed over by the county government finally turned into one rice beans, but one rice bean can be reported to the account twice to get two money or even to deal with two inspections. In short, there is endless mystery.

But it is precisely because of this endless mystery that the reserve warehouse has enough spare storage capacity, and can store tens of thousands of stones of food at any time. However, Lei Chuyang laughed: "Young Master Liu has already made arrangements for this matter. Lao Zhao, you can't force Tao Fujun to do everything, and you have to give Tao Fujun a step!"

Zhao Xianxing had already figured it out. Although there was a spare warehouse of tens of thousands of stones in the reserve warehouse, for the rice beans with 200,000 stones or even millions of stones, it was a drop in the bucket. This was an explanation for Master Tao.

So he laughed: "Okay, I see if this merchant will cry or laugh at that time!"

But at least until now, these Liaodong grain merchants are still laughing. They are striding heavily when they walk, and their faces are filled with smiles!

This time, the trip to Denglai was really right. It turned out that the deserted rice selling scene suddenly became enthusiastic and came quickly. However, the military and civilians in Penglai Water City heard that a large amount of Liaodong rice beans were transported to Daoyu Village, and they all came to buy them with silver coins.

Daoyu Village used to be stationed in the Beiwudu Division, and the Beiwudu Division was the Shandong Xingdu Division. The Beiwudu Division was in charge of the battalions and garrisons in the three eastern prefectures. It can be said that it is the coastal defense headquarters in the entire Shandong three prefectures.

Although the Pre-Water Dusi has been demoted to Dengzhou General Town, there are still thousands of people in the entire Daoyu Village who live a very comfortable life with the Dengzhou Navy by relying on Dengzhou General Town. The military and civilians here also have more money than other places.

Therefore, they took out the silver and banknotes hidden at the bottom of the box to buy the long-lost good rice and beans. However, now the Liaodong grain merchants found that no matter how they made up their minds to refuse to accept banknotes, they had to collect some banknotes first before talking about it.

After arriving in Penglai Water City, they had to cope with all kinds of expenses, some of which were very reasonable. For example, some of the wages of dock workers were not very reasonable, some of which were not very reasonable, some of which were completely unreasonable for the management and filial piety of Dengzhou General Town, such as some of which could not be explained clearly in the account.

But no matter what, in short, before making a fortune, they need to spend several large amounts of money first. After they purchased bulk rice beans and shipped them to Dengzhou, they didn't have much money left. Fortunately, they found that the banknotes of Beihai Money House were the currency in Daoyuzhai.

They walked around the entire Daoyu Village and found that no store would refuse to accept the bank tickets and money tickets from Beihai Money House.

However, these Liaodong merchants still maintained a half-doubted attitude towards the money tickets of Beihai Money House. They still felt that this was purely a waste of money and were still worried that they would return to Liaodong to get the money tickets and would be a stack of waste paper, so they adopted a strategy of collecting the money tickets.

Not only did they refuse to accept banknotes, they just asked to pay for banknotes mainly silver and money. The general Liaodong Grain Chamber of Commerce requires a ratio of 70% silver and 30% silver and 30% silver. A few more risky grain merchants will ask for 60% silver and 40% to use banknotes to pay for the rest.

This strategy was a huge success in business. People who bought rice at the wharf immediately lined up in a long line, and negotiations with local merchants in Denglai also achieved great success because of this strategy. Some people at the wharf even started a business of using silver to exchange banknotes, so that many Dengzhou people who only had banknotes could take out 70% of the silver to deal with when buying rice.

Seeing that the rice beans were sold out, the Liaodong grain merchants had already found a deposit. They urged them to remove the rice beans from the ship and quickly return to Liaodong to transport a large batch of rice beans to make a fortune.

However, Liaodong grain merchants have to face a problem that they cannot avoid, that is, what attitude they have towards the Beihai Money House tickets!

Everyone felt it was very hot when they got the bank tickets, so they spent the bank tickets as soon as possible. As a result, they found that in Dengzhou Prefecture, whether it was promoted to small people, hundreds of households, thousands of households, or Bantou, they all regarded bank tickets as real money and silver. The bank tickets were used in the entire Daoyu Village store without any obstacles, and they could even use bank tickets to pay the government.

"Should the Beihai Money House be charged the banknote ticket? Isn't this thing just treasure money? But if you don't collect the banknote ticket, you can't do business in Dengzhou!"

Tong Guoyong said this. He was a leader among these Liaodong grain merchants, and his name also means that he came from a very famous family - the Tong family in Liaodong.

However, no matter how famous the Tong family in Liaodong is, it cannot solve the problem facing Tong Guoyong, that is, should a large number of tickets be collected into the banker?

Although every grain merchant is now starting to collect bank tickets, collecting and collecting large amounts of bank tickets are completely different. Some people analyzed: "If you collect 50% of bank tickets or 60% of bank tickets, I guess the business will be at least twice as good. If you collect all bank tickets, then the business will be five times better!"

Whether to collect bank tickets or not has such a magical effect. Now the bank tickets on Dengzhou market have an absolute advantage. Many military and civilians in Daoyu Village cannot take out silver or copper coins, but can take out a large amount of bank tickets. This is what they ask about all day long.
