When the people who worked with Jiang Lan found that the restaurant was unable to make money and discussed with Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan showed them the contract signed at the beginning. Various terms were clearly written on it. One day, the stairs were built outside.
The businessmen are stupid now, watching Jiang Lan mean that he wants to prepare everything to be done in accordance with the contract.
If you don't want to do it, and you can't recover the investment, people can go, but if you can't carry the money, they will be in vain to Jiang Lan and others.
Feng Dong’s house, who specially contracted the first floor, couldn’t help it, and said helplessly to Jiang Lan: “Jiangdong’s house, now I have contracted the first floor of Bihai Yinsha, almost no money. If this goes on, it won’t take much. Heaven is waiting to lose money, can Jiang Dong's think of a way?"
Other merchants who were not trading well also echoed out loudly. Since they could not threaten Jiang Lan, they had no choice but to speak softly.
Jiang Lan frowned, feeling empathetic, "Oh, it's hard to find a way. If there is a good way, Bihai Yinsha will not be better than the water and clouds. If you want to talk about a way... there is one, I just don't know what you think. Don't want to try."
"Jiangdong family, there is a way, please tell me." Wang Dongjia asked anxiously.
"Well, it's actually not difficult. Since other people don't want to eat on the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha, it's better to send them to other people's homes, recruit more folks, and run on various roads every day, and sell them elsewhere. The bikes are not bad, buy a few and let the buddies ride.
Write a good word in front of the car. A few days ago, let people walk and yell. When there are more people know, they can call to order food, and then let people ride back to the restaurant, and give it to the restaurant. Do you think it is feasible? "
Jiang Lan kindly gave everyone an idea, and the businessmen thought about it and found that this method was really good. Usually some people send someone to the restaurant to order food during the meal, and then the restaurant delivers it. Naturally, it is not as good as someone riding a bicycle to yell.
Many people's eyes lit up, and they were grateful and admired for Jiang Lan. It was not easy to think of such a method.
At this time Feng Dongjia spoke again.
"Jiangdong's house, it's good, but not many people come to the restaurant, isn't the place empty?"
Others heard Feng Dongjia say that they also found this problem. Since they can be sold out, wouldn't they be wasted on the first and second floors
"Ah... Yes, it's empty, you guys think of other ways, you can't always be empty." Jiang Lan looked helpless.
"Then do it first, it's really impossible, I can only admit compensation." Some people in the crowd retreated, preferring to abandon the money invested, rather than continue to ride in, as whether to deal with Shuiyunjian is no longer important.
Others are not doing well, but the martial arts who came to the meeting were in a hurry, and finally united a group of people to deal with Shuiyunjian, and they scattered like this, and they will not be able to organize in the future, which will make Shuiyunjian famous. More prosperous.
He quickly persuaded him: "Everyone, don't worry, think again, the sky is infinite."
Jiang Lan also followed up and said, "Well, when I look back and think about it, I will discuss with you when I have a way. Let's buy a bicycle first."
The businessmen left one after another very discouraged, originally intending to deal with other people's Shuiyunjian, but now they are going to buy the bicycles of Zhang Wang's family.
The bicycles were not cheap. The Zhang and Wang family did not sell them well. Except for the rich people who bought one or two of them, no one wanted to buy them anymore. The worst bicycles had to be more than a hundred.
You can still ride in the city, but when you get outside the city, when it rains, and the road is not good, you might as well take a horse-drawn carriage or a donkey.
Waiting for everyone to leave, when only Jiang Lan and Wufeng were left, Wu Feng said to Jiang Lan with a sad expression: "Jiangdong family, I don’t know if I can use the money. I have to buy a batch of silk recently. I have a tight hand. ."
Jiang Lan shook his head regretfully: "The military officer has money and wealth, but it can't be transferred. There must be arrangements on the Jiangnan East Road. It is better to ask other merchants. Three days, at most three days, I will be able to figure it out. The solution to the difficulties of restaurants."
"Alright, I will find someone to ask again tomorrow." Wufeng has not recruited either. Recently, I have collected too much silk, and I have collected it privately. The price is 10% or 90% of the original price. Deposit it in the bank, prepare to live a period of time, deposit it together, and then take it out in batches.
The key is to survive this while.
When Wu Feng took the people and left, Jiang Lan smiled and picked up the cold tea in front of him, took a sip, and muttered: "Just because you dare to fight the little boy? Take it, take it, and see. Who loses in the end."
…
People come and go in the capital, which is very lively.
There are a lot more animals in the zoo, and the animals that can be raised have been opened to tourists one after another. In order to ensure the freshness of tourists, the newly arrived animals will not be seen immediately, but taken bit by bit. come out.
People who don't have other channels to understand all kinds of animals still yearn for the zoo. This results in the zoo's income being much higher than that of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
In addition to the cost of feeding and research, there is a sum left.
Today was the day of settlement at the end of the month. Gao Lishi took someone to enter the account. When he came back, there was a team specializing in pulling money. They came to the Xingqing Palace and reported to Li Longji.
"This month, I made six thousand in total from the collection of tickets and the rented stalls? Okay, I made a lot of money, and I have extra spare money to use."
Listening to the data from Gao Lishi, Li Longji recorded a whole number. Six thousand guanxi is not much compared to taxes, but after all, there is income, and it is increasing month by month.
"Your Majesty, Xiaobao wrote to you that two sharks will be sent in a few days, so that a pond will be built here. That is the place where your Majesty wants to repair the lake. It will be used to raise the creatures in the sea. After all, the salt in Jilizhou Did not make up enough.
In addition, Xiaobao suggested that his Majesty open the royal garden more times a month, otherwise it would be a waste to put it there. Jilizhou will provide a lot of things there to buy and sell in the garden. "
Gao Lishi mentioned two more things.
In the past, Li Longji would not agree to open the royal garden at will. It was a symbol of identity and status. Now he has changed a lot. Knowing the importance of money, he wants to occupy more territory. No money is absolutely impossible. .
In particular, recruiting conscripts is better than letting various places raise money to recruit soldiers, which can prevent others from rebelling.
He agreed.
Seeing that the emperor agreed with the two things, Gao Lishi took out some special-looking pieces of paper from his arms, six inches long and two inches wide, with exquisite and detailed patterns printed on the front and back. The place can also feel the unevenness.
Li Longji received it and looked at it one by one. There were different numbers written on it. Some were written one hundred dollars, some were one thousand dollars, and the smallest was ten dollars, and the paper was a little smaller.
Looking at the above, the only constant word is "Kaiyuan Tongbao."
"This is..." Li Longji raised the paper in Yang's hand and asked.
"Your Majesty, this is the money made by Xiaobao and the cuckoo. It will be used in place of copper coins and silk in the future. It is said that there are countless craftsmen, and this has produced anti-counterfeiting things. You can look at the light and you can see one side. The blank space is convex and concave, and it is not on the surface of the paper."
Gao Lishi explained.
Li Longji squeezed the fluttering paper in his hand and saw that the largest amount on it was millions of dollars. He always felt that it was not so safe. It was not as weighty as copper coins. He asked uncertainly: "Will anyone be willing to use it? What if it is less than ten dollars? "
"Little treasures and cuckoos less than ten dollars are being made, and they need to be pressed with a die instead of casting as before. If someone wants to forge it by hand, the effort will not be worth the effort.
As for whether anyone is willing to use banknotes, this is easy to handle. Xiaobao wants to make his Majesty a will. After the banknotes are issued, the tax will be collected from the court. Xiaobao will also cooperate with other merchants to recognize the purchasing power of banknotes and wait for the habit. That's it, that's it. "
Gao Lishi said and introduced: "Your Majesty, the benefit of using paper money is not only to prevent someone from making copper money privately, but also to cancel the preservation cost of silk, and more importantly, it is convenient to carry, and it is better than copper silk when transported. It saves a lot of effort, and there are other benefits Xiaobao didn't say, it won't be easy to think about."
Li Longji held the paper money in his hand and thought for a while, then said: "First let Xiaobao and the others print more, where is the place where the money is printed?"
Li Longji is not stupid. He knows that printing money is unusual. If someone prints money to play in the future, then this country will be over.
"Your Majesty, now the place where the money is printed is in Jilizhou, and Xiaobao is already preparing to move the printing plant to the capital. Your Majesty will find someone to guard it firmly at that time."
Gao Lix immediately responded.
"Then what about the silk? There are a lot of silk from all over the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't it be sold to the people?" Li Longji thought of another problem that needed to be solved.
Gao Lishi sighed at this time and replied: "Your Majesty, silk has been sold. Xinyuanzhou, Japan and Silla can be sold, as well as Tubo, Turk, and Xiaobao are considering cooperation with merchants, Xinyuan The state and Japan are going to be handed over to the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Other places have not been considered."
"Jiangnan Dongdao? Bihai Yinsha?" Li Longji suddenly remembered the restaurant that was against Shuiyun.
"It's exactly, Xiaobao said in a letter that Bihai Yinsha is also his. It is not a good thing for Shuiyun to have a single family. It needs a competitive opponent, but it is difficult to cooperate with Bihai Yinsha to deal with the merchants in Shuiyun. A large part of their money is restricted and they can only make a small amount of money."
Gao Lishi showed a gloating expression.
Li Longji was stunned, and Fang said: "No wonder, I can open the restaurant so well, I thought there was another capable person, writing to Xiaobao, staying a line, don't rush to kill."
Li Longji has no doubt about Zhang Xiaobao's ability. If he wants to make the person who opposes him lose all the property, there will be someone who can survive.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Xiaobao has already stayed. In a few days, there will be new actions on the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha. At the same time, the third floor of Bihai Yinsha, which is adjacent to Shuiyun or directly opposite, will also be changed. Change, there is competition and cooperation."
…
"come on! Come on… "
The state capital of Jilizhou was very lively. Xiaobei and the others watched Pan'er and the two little guys were trying hard to turn over there, cheering up, and doing demonstrations from time to time.
The two little guys couldn't understand what other people were screaming. When they saw someone turning over, they would follow along. They would cluck a few times each time they turned over. They seemed to be very interested in this kind of game.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also temporarily put aside their work and accompany them to feel the warm moment.
It wasn't until the two little guys were tired and hungry that they were about to cry, when Xiaobei and others stopped and found the nurse to feed the younger siblings.
"Xiaobao, when will you do it?" Wang Juan suddenly asked something that other people didn't understand.
"Wait a second, come together when the news reaches all the banks. On the sixth day of next month, I will see who will cooperate with Concubine Wu Hui after this incident."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Xiaobei and the others who said he was going out to find a guard for him, and the others ran out one after another, and replied to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan didn't say anything on this issue, and moved to another place, "What about printing money? How can I prevent Li Longji from printing casually?"
"Li Longji will not print casually, and he is not lacking in his mind. Unless there is an overall financial problem, he will deal with it by devaluing the currency. As for whether anyone will print money crazy in the future, then we can't control it."
Zhang Xiaobao really has nothing to do with this matter. Let alone now, it should be printed in the same way at other times. Which country has not done this before
Wang Juan stretched his waist. "Then wait for the sixth day of the year. If you are sleepy, go back and squint for a while. Tomorrow, you will send a thousand people to go to North America to find good things for you."
…
Days went by day by day, and when the sixth day came, Datang Bank suddenly posted a notice.
A total of two things were said.
The first one is naturally banknotes. Zhang Xiaobao contacted many merchants and promised to accept banknotes. Anyone who buys things with banknotes will enjoy a 5% discount this month.
People who are used to flying money have no objection to this, but ordinary people are confused. Can a piece of paper be used as money to spend
Even with the promises of the merchants, all of them hesitate, wanting to see the effect after others have changed first.
Smarter people immediately thought of counterfeiting. In the past, copper coins could be made privately, but now they can also try to make paper money, but after seeing the paper money, they are all discouraged again.
It’s too difficult to make. If you use a pen to draw, it will be easy to make mistakes if you are not careful. You have to find the same paper and the same oil, and it will take at least a few months to draw a picture. If you draw a hundred Consistent is fine.
The problem is how to get the mark between the convex and concave places on the money and the bright place.
Those who want to make fakes temporarily suppress the thoughts in their minds and need to improve their skills.
The second thing on the notice was the purchase of silk. People who have silk in their hands can come and exchange it directly, but they can only exchange 80% of the money.
