Chapter 623 Transfer

"In this way, each company will have to pay out another 150,000 to 20,000."

After calculating his own copper coins, Wang Dengku and others looked very ugly.

There is not much inventory. Apart from buying copper coins from this money house, they are mostly bought from large money houses such as the capital. The quality of these coins is uneven and they are not worthy of taking them out to fight with He Yusheng. If you want to continue this bet, there is no other way except to continue to mint the money.

Not only do you need to cast, but you also need to speed up the speed. There are large enough money shops in the capital that are qualified to cast money. Now it is too late to give away silver in the past. However, you can buy it first and then entrust it to cast it on your behalf. You can always get the shortcuts back and forth. It is expected that you can get more than 100,000 taels to the capital area and you can find a lot of qualified gold-backed coins.

But this is the price, of course it is not small.

"The money shop is the lifeblood of us." Jin Liangyu, who rarely attended the meeting, said firmly: "He Yusheng competed with us for various businesses in Zhangjiakou. Now everyone is watching the trend. He Yusheng is now the first to take the lead. If we feel sorry for the money and refuse to invest, who is strong and weak will be clear at a glance. Who will cooperate with us in the future? We go north to smuggle and smuggle requires a large amount of grain, cloth and other types of groceries, many of which are on credit. If there is no bulk source of goods, what should we use to discuss cooperation with the Donglu? Now, taking advantage of the restrictions on both the Beilu and the Donglu, we can earn hundreds of thousands a year in recent years. Even if we cannot retreat, we must win at least to keep the current situation. Otherwise, it will be all over."

Wang Dengku covered his face and said, "Oh, everyone should make money quickly."

Wan'er, eight thousand taels, and these companies are not a big problem. Two or three thousand may not be able to be taken out at once. Even if the net worth hundreds of thousands, it is mostly in real estate, fields, and goods. It is impossible to hide tens of thousands of silver without using it. Until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, super rich merchants such as the Qiao family and Chang family among Shanxi merchants had a net worth of millions or even millions, and they would dig out a cellar at home, melt hundreds of thousands of taels of silver ingots into silver blocks, and hide them deep in the cellar.

"How about the price comparison?" Tian Shenglan said.

Wang Dengku glared and said, "They put it to 95 yesterday, so we can only add 30, 98."

Wang Yongfa said: "This price comparison is close to the principal price, and there is no profit."

"So what?" Wang Dengku said irritably: "If you don't let it go, you will lose this move."

Everyone was speechless, and no one expected that things would develop to such a point at once.

"It's listed, it's listed here too."

He Yusheng was still transporting copper coins. Every time he transported a box, he opened the lid. Huang Cancan's copper coins attracted a lot of attention. Qijia Money House also hung a big red sign, one tael of silver and gold back coins, and the price comparison dropped to 98.

This price is a low price that has never been seen before. The official price has always been 1 to 800 yuan. No money house has ever been lower than this. Even during the Renxuan period, the Ming Dynasty, when the country was the strongest, there was also a shortage of copper. The famous Xuande furnace used copper not Chinese copper, but came from overseas places such as Myanmar. Emperor Xuanzong was reluctant to take it out and cast it into copper coins, but ordered the Ministry of Works to cast various bronze ware. Xuande furnace is the most cast and the best quality batch. Now, it has been the most cherished and popular bronze antiques by antique players for more than a hundred years.

"It seems that these seven families are confident."

Although he has never set up copper coins for everyone to watch with such a big fanfare, the seven money houses that have such a pose can only show that they have their own foundation and are not afraid of He Yusheng's challenge.

The Qian shopkeeper who is familiar with the money shop affairs smiled and said, "It seems that these seven families are going to have a heavy capital and have a big battle with Hutchison Money Bank. You see, today there will be people from the seven banks bringing silver to the capital, and tomorrow and the next day, they will bring a lot of gold-backed money back from the capital."

Wang Datong was stunned: "Dragons fight against tigers, dragons fight against tigers."

Ma Chaowen smiled very reservedly: "It seems that the winner is still between the two, and the decision is not wrong."

...

"This store only accepts money from the people for the time being, and bulk reservations are not acceptable for the time being."

"Don't say one to nine hundred, even one to eight hundred, you can only exchange it for a small amount for the time being."

Liu Ji, Wang Faxiang, Li Guobin and others were all in the money shop. The store was filled with crowds, and the three of them were sweating profusely before they could squeeze behind the counter.

The maximum proportion of silver to be exchanged shall not exceed 5 taels of silver, which means that it can be exchanged for 4,500 coins at a time.

This comparison is also about taking care of small-scale handicraftsmen and small grocery stores. Otherwise, at most one or two taels can be almost taken care of by mixing them at a time.

In daily life, the people of the Ming Dynasty would not spend money without spending money. The actual exchange is still very popular. However, if you have good copper coins with excellent quality at hand, you will undoubtedly save your time and effort and even save costs when buying and selling items.

The farmers who come to the city will always bring home something that is difficult to buy in the suburbs of the city for more than ten miles away, just like the feeling of ordinary cities or rural residents coming to a big city hundreds of years later. It is naturally the best if you have enough copper coins to use them.

"There are many people complaining these days." Li Guobin wiped his sweat and said, "The Xiangcheng Bo's family originally ordered two thousand taels of silver to be given copper coins, saying that they were kept for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year. They usually spend money slowly, and it was enough. As a result, I asked me to get the ticket back. The Xiangcheng Bo saw me at the Funing Marquis' Mansion the day before yesterday, and his face was not very good."

Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "This is the Military Affairs Office's decision. What can we do?"

"And Eunuch Tan from the Silijian also told me to ask for copper coins, what should I do?"

"These guys are really bad." Liu Ji couldn't help but complain: "Now who doesn't know that Shanxi merchants raised more than 100,000 silver to Beijing to buy copper coins, and they designated to have good gold back coins. The price of money in Beijing rose sharply. At this time, they came to book one by one, just because they were afraid that the price would continue to rise, and they would save a lot of money when they entered and exited."

"These masters are all the masters who cut their flesh on mosquito's legs. You guys went to the capital for the first time?"

Wang Faxiang's face was full of funny expressions. He has been in the capital for many years, from a young man to presided over military affairs in the entire capital and even the northern Zhili area. Years of training have made him extremely mature. The storm in front of him can no longer cause him to fluctuate emotionally. However, the excitement and dissatisfaction of the two partners made Wang Faxiang feel funny.

"That's not what I said." Liu Ji said: "In recent times, He Yusheng has really made a name for himself in the capital. However, the insufficient amount of copper coins made me feel a little disappointed. It's not because I'm embarrassed, but because I feel it will affect He Yusheng's reputation and profit."

Li Guobin nodded and said, "That's right, I always feel that the boss doesn't pay much attention to the capital."

"The owner said it a long time ago." Wang Faxiang said: "The water in the capital is too deep, and He Yusheng is more about transit stations and displaying existences, rather than making money."

"But..." Wang Faxiang looked at the disappointed faces of the two, and smiled: "If the copper coins are exchanged, they will really make a lot of money. But you must remember, who can we offend here in the capital? The noble eunuchs, civil and military officials are more of the exchange of interests. Can you really do business here with peace of mind? If we can get dozens of cars of copper coins at a time like Zhangjiakou, the capital will be sensational, and he will be really worried about it. He Yusheng's power is effective in the capital?"

After saying this, Liu Ji and Li Guobin are not so opposed to the recent decision of the Military Office to suspend the capital exchange business, reduce the scale, and even lower the level of loans and other businesses in the reconciliation office in order to tighten the silver bank.

"Everything is the most important thing." Wang Faxiang said.

"Um."

"Too."

Li Guobin and Liu Ji both nodded.

...

"The latest decision of the Military Office has arrived. We will lead our troops to Taiwan first. The two will only take a few personal soldiers to follow Cheng Fang to the Thirteen Mountains."

Before boarding the boat, Li Shouxin gave a military salute first, and then bowed to Cheng Fang, Wen Zhongfa, Bad and others with fists.

The port behind him is still a fleet of eleven large ships. It is the second time that people on Pi Island have seen a fleet of such a size, but they still cannot stop them from coming to watch.

Less than a month later, the island was still cold, but at least it was no longer snowing, and the sea from the river mouth to the shore did not freeze. However, the sea breeze was very strong, the waves were surging, and the waves were really strong, and the fleet was shaking violently on the sea surface.

The main military officers such as Li Shouxin will follow this fleet to leave the port, with more than 5,000 people accompanying the ship, plus the first batch of troops and families to Taiwan, the number has exceeded 10,000.

Taiwan only provides the simplest supplies, and everything has to start over.

Allocating land to the family, building houses, providing daily necessities, and providing medical supplies are all heavy logistics work. The most important thing for Li Shouxin and others is to quickly establish a military system after they arrive in Taiwan, then conduct daily training, followed by small-scale practical exercises, which ultimately drove the Dutch away from Taiwan and established a real foundation in Taiwan.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge. At present, Chang Wei has done a relatively successful job in Taiwan. From leading dozens of people to Taiwan to now, nearly a thousand people have established camp bases and ports in Bengang, and have begun to prepare for the construction of shipyards, opened a naval school, and initially recruited instructors and a small number of students. In addition, this fleet consists of eleven hundred-tonne lucky ships and Guangzhou ships... This has been done very well, although it has cost nearly one million taels of silver.

The third group of personnel will be led by another brigade commander. In addition, Li Shouxin left some officers and sergeants on Pi Island and continued to train another regiment until the officer sets up the racks, and the commander of the next regiment will bring his officers to Pi Island to take all the soldiers away. It is expected that it will take two or three months at the earliest.

The whereabouts of Wen Zhongfa and Bald Head changed temporarily. They would no longer go to Taiwan, but turned to Shisan Mountain, which was also the reason why Cheng Fang rushed over. Li Shouxin was a little dissatisfied with this decision. Wen Zhongfa and Bald Head were both very experienced in combat, with excellent performances in front of the formation, and were familiar with intelligence work, and had no problem with controlling infantry and cavalry. It was not a pleasant thing to transfer these two excellent officers to the right of a confident military chief. However, Li Shouxin also understood that the situation in Shisan Mountain was much more serious than that in Taiwan, and asking to transfer Shisan Mountain was what Wen Zhongfa and Bald Head meant, and gave Li Shouxin a tactful and persuasive explanation, at least giving Li Shouxin a step.

"Commander Li has a smooth journey."

"Everyone, both of you are safe along the way."-
