Zhao’er and Xue Qinghuai went to see the shop.
In fact, they have seen this shop before, and they are more satisfied when they visit it again. Xue Qinghuai asked Zhao'er if he should start the layout now, but Zhao'er said that he would wait for two days.
In the evening, when Xue Tingxiang came back from outside, the family of three adults and two children ate together, Zhao Di took the two children away, and looked at Zhao'er with a smile before leaving, Zhao'er blushed.
"Second sister, what happened?"
Zhao'er choked on the saliva and said, "What's wrong? It's nothing!"
Xue Tingxiang didn't break her, and went outside for a walk to enjoy the coolness.
Zhao'er also followed.
It was the summer of June, and the weather was very hot, but Dinghai was close to the seaside, so it was quite cool at night because of the sea breeze.
The two walked very slowly, and Zhao'er said what he was thinking about during the day.
Xue Tingyan's eyes lit up and he stopped: "You mean you want to build a ticket number?"
A look of confusion flashed in Zhao'er's eyes: "Is it the ticket number? Isn't the ticket number the same as the bank?" She has been in contact with the bank more in the past, and she has heard of the ticket number, but she doesn't understand the difference between the two.
Xue Tingxiang explained it to her.
In fact, the essence of the ticket number and the bank is very different. The origin of the bank comes from currency confusion. The main circulation in the market is copper coins. However, copper coins are too heavy and difficult to carry, so a paper currency has been developed.
This kind of currency is mainly issued by the imperial court. Both Song and Ming dynasties have issued such currency as 'Jiaozi' and 'Daming Baochao'.
It is a pity that the imperial court issued banknotes indiscriminately, which made the money worthless. In the previous dynasty, there was even an incident in which a hundred treasures could only be exchanged for one stone of rice, which aroused public resentment, so the imperial court stopped the treasured banknotes, opened the silver ban, and allowed silver and copper coins. common circulation.
It is a pity that China has a vast territory and vast territory, and the standards for making money in different places are different. There are even privately minted copper coins, which makes it extremely inconvenient for the common people to use. Therefore, there have been shops specializing in exchanging copper coins and silver.
At the beginning, these money shops were only exchanges, and gradually developed into the business of custody and storage. But the money shop soon discovered that the money stored in the money shop was just dead money, and it could be used for some without affecting the operation of the money shop. The money was taken out and given to powerful but ineffective merchants, or even to do other things. Everything else is profitable.
This is the so-called bank.
With the development of commerce, the circulation of silver and money has been greatly inconvenient. At this time, there is a problem. Generally, the bank is only in a certain town. If the scale is larger, it is a province, but if it is cross-province and cross-city, it cannot be used. , so some powerful businessmen set up ticket numbers.
The ticket number is not only specialized in deposits and loans, but also cross-regional exchange.
The so-called exchange is that a ticket is issued by the ticket number, and the ticket can be exchanged in other places with the ticket number. In this way, it is not only convenient for guests, but also avoids the insecurity of long-distance transportation of money, so it is sought after by many businessmen.
In fact, this kind of meeting ticket appeared in the Song Dynasty. Its name was Fei Qian, but it only circulated among merchants, and the circulation range was extremely small. It was not until the last years of the previous dynasty that this kind of ticket number flourished, so something called a silver ticket appeared.
The so-called silver ticket is actually a meeting ticket.
With the ticket, you can exchange it at the ticket number that issued the ticket. This act is very convenient for the common people, so it is very popular. Of course, the receipt of the bank note depends on which ticket number was issued. If the ticket number is not well known, the common people still do not recognize it.
"I only regard the bank and the ticket number as one kind of place. I didn't expect there are so many differences."
"The difference here is huge." The reason Xue Tingxiang knew it was because of that dream.
"That being said, what I want to build is the ticket number."
Xue Tingxiang laughed and flicked her nose: "Your ambition is not small. It is easy to build a bank, but it is difficult to build a ticket number."
Zhao'er's nose hurt from being flicked, she glared at him, and said, "I can't do it, I can't think about it yet? What kind of business is not thought about first, and then I do it after thinking about it."
"That's true." Xue Tingxiang nodded, frowned and thought: "Actually, I was thinking about this before. I originally wanted to contact a big ticket company to enter. Now it seems that it is better for our family to do it yourself?"
His mind turned quickly, and he said: "Now that there are not enough people, we can make a smaller one first, issue the ticket by the ticket number, and let it be exchanged locally. However, the reputation of the ticket number is not obvious, others are naturally worried, I can let the market The shipping company is the guarantee. But those businessmen are all over the world, and this kind of thing is not easy to solve. In fact, it is not impossible to solve it, but the manpower and material resources used are too large. The storage fee is too small and it is not worthwhile. There are too many, and others will probably be unwilling to…”
"We can combine the local ticket numbers to exchange and share the benefits equally." Zhao'er said.
Xue Tingxiang's eyes lit up: "According to this, it's not impossible." He touched his chin and smiled: "When we grow up, we can kick them directly and do it ourselves."
Zhao'er laughed at him: "You are really bad. Before you can do it, you are thinking about how to kick people away. If I were the ticket number, I would not cooperate with you."
Xue Tingxiang glanced at her and said lazily: "You must know that those who do this business will not share the meat in their mouths with others. When we are thinking about kicking each other, they also want to kick us, and we The only recourse is Shuangyu Island, and they have to cooperate with us because of this. I don’t know if this is a fake public benefit, and if there is a censor to impeach me, what should I do?”
As soon as she heard this, Zhao'er frowned, she hesitated: "Then why don't we do it?"
Xue Tingxiang laughed: "If you say you are stupid, you are really not smart. Without affecting the general direction, you can make money for the court. Even if someone impeaches, the above will help me suppress it. It makes no sense and wants to run away. I also think that if horses don’t eat grass, how can there be so many good things in the world.”
The last two sentences, he muttered, so Zhao'er didn't hear it clearly, and asked him what he said.
Xue Tingxiang shook his head and said nothing. At the same time, his mind was still spinning, inspired by that dream, and he also knew that this ticket number was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. If it was done well, it would be a veritable cornucopia.
It's a good idea, but unfortunately it's not something that can be done overnight.
And as the shopping on Shuangyu Island finally ended, Shibosi also made a huge sum of money for the court that had never been seen before. Anshun was so excited that he immediately decided to leave for Beijing immediately. Xue Tingyan couldn't keep him, so he could only send him away.
At the same time, the court also caused a heated discussion because of the joint letter of Dou Zhun, governor of Zhejiang, and Ye Ju, the commissioner of the procuratorate.
Zhejiang actually wants to form a navy!
When the civil and military officials heard this, they first felt that the place in Zhejiang was really demonic.
If it's anything else, it's okay to form a sailor? Know how much money it takes to build a warship? Do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to set up a sailor? I'm not really afraid of killing myself.
In this regard, Emperor Jiacheng did not make any statement, just let the court discuss it, and of course the cabinet also wants to discuss it.
Discussions come and go, and the result is inappropriate.
why
Don't look at the fact that the court is now richer than before, but there is consumption in Liaodong, and there is a drought today, and a flood tomorrow, where is there no need for money? To set up a sailor for a small shipping company is equivalent to spending a basket of eggs to hatch a chick.
It's not that it can't be done, but it can't be done right now. Let's wait until the court has money to discuss this matter.
But when will the court be rich
Even though the Shibo Division sent money back twice, the first time it filled the border, and the second time it was distributed to various places for disaster relief. In addition, Emperor Jiacheng felt that he was rich, and he inevitably swelled up. It cost another sum of money to repair the palace in Xiyuan, and the Ministry of Household really had no money.
It is inevitable that some people will criticize Dinghai's shipping department and Xue Tingxiang's promotion. Said that he was arrogant and ambitious. Shibosi had just opened, and he was tossing around to open the Fujian business town. He had a big bowl and a big bowl of rice, and he didn't have to support himself to death.
It doesn't matter if you die, don't implicate the court.
Even a group of officials seized the handle and suggested that Xue Tingxiang's nomination be withdrawn, and another minister should go to govern. Saying that he has no hair on his mouth and that he does not do things well is young after all.
All in all, everything is said.
Emperor Jiacheng was finally happy for two days, and then pulled his face down.
At this moment, the angel of Anshun returned to Beijing.
"What did you say? Twenty-five million taels!" Emperor Jiacheng threw away the red pen in his hand, which was enough to prove how much shock this matter had brought him.
Anshun nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, you heard right, it's 25 million taels!"
"Stand up and tell me well."
Zheng Ancheng hurriedly motioned for someone to help Anshun. It was also Anshun's unlucky situation. Just when Emperor Jiacheng was stabbed by the minister below, he was in a depressed mood. He came back from outside to ask for an interview. Emperor Jiacheng questioned him on the spot. .
No, the action is too violent, the knees are blue, and it seems a little reluctant to get up and stand up.
Anshun didn't care about the pain in his leg, so he described what happened after he arrived in Dinghai, focusing on Xue Tingxiang's opening of the Fubo store. It may be that that scene really impressed Anshun too deeply. He described it very vividly, and it sounded like a rush of blood and arrogance.
"Okay! Good! Xue Aiqing is really my servant, I see what else they can say this time!" Emperor Jiacheng patted the armrest of the dragon chair and praised repeatedly.
"Zheng Ancheng, go and invite Xu Shoufu. This time I want to slap these people in the face."
"Yes."
Just at the time of the establishment of the Zhejiang Navy in the Chaotang, there was a turmoil on that small island in the Chaos Reef Ocean.
"What does the hall master mean? Could it be that some of you have gone to Shuangyu Island again behind my back?"
In a poorly constructed house, the walls are made of wood, the bark on it has not been peeled off, and the roof is made of bundled leaves and various branches of a tree that is abundant in the coastal area.
It seems very simple, but the area is not small. At the first place is a large wooden chair. At this time, sitting on the large chair is a man about fifty years old. bunt old man.
This person is the grandfather.
He sat there in a dignified manner, and while speaking, a pair of harrier-like eyes stared at the group of people below, as if he wanted to see who was unruly and acted privately.
Xie Rong is probably very sensitive because he was reprimanded last time and received a few whips. Seeing Yaoye looking over, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Yaoye, I have never gone out in private, and the injury on my body hasn't healed yet."
"Yao Ye, Brother Rong really never took anyone out. I will testify for him."
"You testify for him, what are you testifying for him?" Yao Ye raised his brows, obviously being reprimanded and angry. "The hall master said that this time the incident was a big one. What happened when you went to the Shuangyu Island last time? The letter said that there are many court officials, including Governor Shao, but you bastards dare to dare Shoot the cannons up! Do you know that the imperial court is going to set up a naval division in Zhejiang!"
"Fire guns? What guns are fired?" Xie Rong said in confusion.
Kuozi also shouted injustice: "We didn't shoot the cannon, my lord, we just went to those few brothers at that time. The boss said he wanted to give them a slap in the face, so he attacked the laborers. Without the laborers, they would not be able to do their jobs. It's best. It was because they were so scared that no one dared to come and work for them. Naturally, this business town couldn't do it.
"I just didn't expect that there were many soldiers stationed in the guard station on the island, so we would fight with them. When we went out, we brought bird guns, and relying on the bird guns, we retreated completely. It was a pity that they had already run away. They sent warships to chase and even shot us, only to lose a ship."
"You didn't fire a cannon?" Yao Ye looked suspiciously at the people below.
"Yao Ye, we really didn't shoot." Several people who went out together that day said in unison.
"Then you didn't fire the gun, why did the hall master write to say that Governor Shao was angry and said that we were doing shit together?"
"Then we don't know."
Xie Rong scratched his head: "Could it be that someone framed it?"
"Who can frame us and frame us? Xie Rong, don't tell me you let your brothers say you didn't let it go because you didn't dare to recognize it." Someone teased.
Xie Rong's face was full of injustice, and he swore to the sky: "I swear to Lord Dragon, if we really fire a cannon that day, let me be buried in the belly of a fish and never survive!"
People who walk on the sea pay attention to these things the most. This kind of oath is extremely cruel. Only then did Yao Ye dispel his suspicions.
"Looking at it this way, are those dog officials who are trying to deceive and deliberately frame things?"
"It must be those dog officials, Yaoye, you forget that these dog officials are the most insidious and cunning!"
"Yes, of course."
The following people joined in.
The first master pondered: "Whether it is or not, it is not good news for us that the imperial court wants to set up the Zhejiang Navy. The task ordered by the hall master..."
"Yao Ye, if we don't take advantage of the fact that the navy has not yet formed, we will directly hit the Shuangyu Island? If we beat them to pieces, this mission will be completed?" Someone suggested that this suggestion was echoed again.
The young master glanced angrily at the brainless people below, and scolded: "Just our few ships, who can we win? You don't know the situation in Dinghai, it's not what it used to be. Having said this, Hall Master said in the letter, Hall Master Mo will personally bring someone to assist us in handling this matter.”
"Master Mo is coming? Then we don't have to worry about it."
"When Hall Master Mo brings people, we will wash the pair of islands and let them know how powerful our Red Gang is."
Hearing this, Yao Ye was full of anger again, and scolded: "Fuck off, a bunch of brainless people, don't block me here, get off!"
So the group went away.
