Seven hundred and twenty-nine banknotes (below)
After Feng Ang finished speaking, Suning nodded constantly: "That's it. Moreover, only very famous and reputable warehouses can get the trust and support of everyone. Set up such warehouses. Then, people need to be sent to protect this warehouse to ensure that the money will not be lost, stolen or robbed. Before those people come to withdraw their own money, ensure the safety of the money.
Feng Gong, these days, what merchants are most afraid of is that when they travel around the world, they encounter strong men, and their money is stolen, and they are likely to lose their lives. However, with such warehouses and such banknotes, this situation can be completely avoided! In this way, such warehouses can also charge a certain fee. As a fee to save money and ensure the safety of money, this fee may be charged less. Compared with the risk of transporting money from south to north, merchants must be willing to choose this kind of banknote and store it in close proximity, even if it is placed in a crotch cloth, it is OK!"
Suning said that he laughed out loud, Feng Ang also laughed, nodding constantly while laughing, and then stared at Suning and said, "You want to say that I will be the person who set up the Lingnan warehouse, and then, you will be the person who set up the northern warehouse, and then, work together, right?"
Suning was stunned. He really didn't expect this. To do this, he should first report to Li Er's writings. Both of them were officials, and there was no reason not to report to His Majesty Li Er. Then he summoned merchants, determined the charter, and then started processing. However, in this way, as the convenience and credit level increase, many merchants would probably do this soon, and the amount of money in the warehouse would rise sharply. At that time, the court would not care?
Fortunately, Feng Ang was the identity of the King of the South. He was in Lingnan and had a lot of words. No one dared to question him. He also had enough strength to ensure the safety of the warehouse. However, he was different. The big guys in Chang'an City were walking all over the ground. Although his status was also very high, his overall strength was not in the ranking. It didn't matter if a few people were dozens or hundreds of people. However, once the number rose to a certain level, Suning was really not sure to ensure the safety of the warehouse.
And doing this can easily lead to other people's words, so using a private identity will definitely not work.
Suning shook his head and said, "No. Mr. Feng, I can foresee that if you and I were in charge at this time, then it won't take long to make this warehouse ruin. Mr. Feng's family has a great business, but his capital is small and profits are small, and it is possible that the whole family will be killed. This matter seems very small now, but once it becomes large, the amount of money in the warehouse is definitely not something that can be played with. This matter must not leave the court."
Feng Ann had never seen Suning look so serious, but he really didn't think about how to cause trouble if he did this. He was very puzzled. Suning had to explain that one person could save, ten people could save, one hundred people could save, and one thousand people could accept it, but what about going on? How much would that cost? Hundreds of thousands of guan? Millions of guan? The annual income of the Tang Dynasty in a year is not as good as your warehouse, how much commission can you receive from it?
How many people are jealous? How many people are unhappy about you? How many people also want to obtain such qualifications? Imitate? Open warehouses everywhere? Then they bring people to deposit money, and even use various means to do despicable things. They are hard to guard against! Maybe they secretly gather a large number of bandits and strong men to attack the warehouse, and destroy the things in a torch. The copper coins are okay, but the silk cloth is? Who will compensate after burning them? Who will make up for the loss of credit? Who will bear the accountability of the court? A person will definitely not do these things, absolutely!
Feng Ang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he wiped it with a handful, saying with fear: "What you said is not unreasonable. So, since you don't plan to do this with me yourself, why should you discuss it with me again?"
Suning said: "I plan to report to the court and ask His Majesty for permission, because this matter can be said to be to facilitate transactions between maritime merchants and domestic merchants. The full power of maritime trade is in the hands of the Audit Department of the Zongheng Department, and also in the hands of the Xiamen. Therefore, such warehouses can be set up in the name of the Audit Department and such warehouses in the name of the imperial department. Needless to say, there is credibility, and safety. Who dares to attack the imperial department at will? Are you looking for death?
In this way, the part in the north can be responsible, but in Lingnan, the meeting will report to His Majesty to ask Mr. Feng to take the lead and join forces with a group of respected people to handle the matter together to ensure the safety of the Lingnan warehouse. In this way, safety can be guaranteed, and Mr. Feng can also obtain a considerable amount of money, right? The income from Lingnan is 70% and the Audit Department accounts for 10% and the remaining two are given to other participants. Part of the income from the north belongs to the Audit Department, and the other part is directly regarded as taxes to the court."
Feng Ang frowned and said, "You don't want it yourself?"
Suning shrugged helplessly: "It's not that I don't want it, I really can't afford it. Feng Gongde is respectful and doesn't have to worry about gossip, but he always has to worry about the impeachment of the censors. This money seems not much now, but in a few years, it will definitely be a huge sum of money. I can't afford it and I dare not ask for it. Besides, it will be the Audit Department, that is, the Zongheng Department, and the Zongheng Department will be the one who is at the bottom. It is also good to develop the Zongheng Department better.
The functions of the Zongheng Ministry are very heavy and require a lot of funds from the imperial court. If they can rely on their own, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will definitely support it, not to mention that the Ministry of Civil Affairs can also receive part of it as tax revenue. They will support it more, so it will be easier to accomplish."
Feng Ang smiled with interest, and then said, "After a long time, you really don't have any benefits. It's all cheaper for the court and me? Do you really serve the country, the people, not yourself?"
Suning smiled: "If you don't want to buy land for yourself, why should you buy the land and set up a sugarcane manor? You just want to do something to avoid the problem being frustrated. Now be prepared, and then all problems will have a solution, and you don't have to be frustrated. Such a position is indeed high and has great power, but it is like a crater. If a volcano erupts, you will die without a burial place. Doing so is just to save your life.
Moreover, the main source of financial resources of the Zongheng Department is Lingnan. Lingnan is also the source of political achievements. Lingnan has made good efforts, and the political achievements of the subordinates are safe. Moreover, he has given so many benefits and so many ways to make money. When his subordinates need help from Feng, he has to take action. With Feng Gong's help, he is safer. If he wants to deal with the subordinates, he must also consider his own weight before taking action. This is the benefit he gets."
Feng Ang looked at Suning deeply and said, "Boy, you can accomplish great things."
Suning smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have such a big ambition, I don't want to accomplish great things. I just want to live happily until I die naturally. Then I'll be content. What a big thing is very tiring, hahahahahaha!"
Feng Ang was stunned. Then he laughed: "This is a big thing, this is a big thing! In this world, if you can live until you die naturally, you must live until you die naturally, that is a big thing. How many people have been able to do this? All of them are amazing people. I dare not ask that you can live until you die naturally. This is even more difficult than being an emperor!"
Suning smiled and said, "What's the best thing about being an emperor? In the palace, you can often see that Your Majesty can't rest until late at night. It's so tiring that the emperor's food, clothes and utensils are not as good as those of a rich man! Being a left minister of the Zongheng Department is already tired of that kind of virtue, let alone the emperor. It's better for Duke Feng now. Don't have to do things or worry about anything else. Just take care of the family affairs well. I'm still quite envious of Duke Feng!"
Feng Ang smiled bitterly and said, "The higher the status, the harder it is to live. Eat well, wear good clothes, and don't have to worry about spending money. So what? I feel uncomfortable in my heart. The most unbearable thing is to make you feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable so much that I want to die, but I can't die. If I pass away, will this family of thousands of people fall apart? The ancestors pass on this family business to me, and I must protect it, otherwise how can I have the face to meet my ancestors?"
Suning echoed: "Who said it was not? People were glamorous, and they could only suffer the pain in their hearts by themselves. They dare not tell their family members, for fear that they would worry. It would be fine if they suffered this kind of pain by themselves, so why bother with their family members? It would be too bad for one person, and the family would feel uncomfortable together, so don't mention it!"
Feng Ang smiled and said, "I heard that you are the head of the Su family. Now it seems that you and I still have a lot to talk about. At a young age, I am quite mentally! I am almost caught up with me. It is so uncomfortable to live like this!"
Suning smiled bitterly and said, "The head of the family doesn't want to feel uncomfortable, so the whole family should be uncomfortable. Since you are the head of the family, you have to carry the burden, otherwise what kind of head of the family should be? Isn't it better to use some money to have fun outside, and the whole family will not be hungry if you eat one person?"
Feng Ang laughed again: "Miaomiaomiao! One person is full, and the whole family is not hungry. This is really wonderful! If I can do this, that would be great! There are more than 10,000 people in this family, and everyone has to eat, drink water, and dress. If I don't have to eat, they don't have to eat, that would be great! Hahahahahaha!"
The chat with Feng Ang unexpectedly went smoothly, and the matter was finalized, and unexpectedly received Feng Ang's appreciation. It was not the kind of appreciation of the official position, but the appreciation of being a human being. Feng Ang seemed to appreciate Suning's behavior in the following days. He kept sending Suning some delicious food and drinks, but never mentioned anything else. Suning also had his own things to do, and wrote his own ideas and gains into memorials to send to His Majesty Li Er through a secret channel. He was waiting in Lingnan for the arrival of the money from the imperial court to purchase land.
Now it seems that if the warehouse is really done, it would be too easy for the imperial court to do something in Lingnan, right? However, this matter really requires caution and caution, be careful and careful. First of all, you must prepare a batch of gold, silver and silk cloth as reserve deposit to determine that if something bad happens, you can fight back and save the fire and have a chance to survive.
There is no way to predict the others...
When Suning's letters were quickly transported to the north, a large amount of money from the court was also quickly transported to Lingnan. Out of caution and training newcomers, His Majesty Li Er named Xue Rengui as the person in charge of this mission and commanded two thousand soldiers to transport the huge sum of money to Lingnan. Xue Rengui was extremely excited. This was one of the few opportunities he had ever joined the army to lead a large army on missions. Although the number of people was not too large, it was no easy thing for Xue Rengui, a novice.
Although he made many military achievements and received a lot of appreciation, Xue Rengui was still very young, and there was no war for a year after the Tubo incident. After Xue Rengui was transferred back to Chang'an City, he followed Su Dingfang and others to practice military affairs, practice martial arts, and read military tactics. He himself felt very bored. This time, His Majesty Li Er chose to transport this huge sum of money. He was very happy. Two thousand people, from Chang'an to Lingnan, was indeed an extremely important task, and the amount of the huge sum of money also shocked him.
