Chapter 68: The Buried Treasure
Wang Fang has already said so clearly that Ao Xian, who has no financial knowledge, is still not enlightened.
"Counselor Wang, what does this mean?"
Faced with such ignorance, Wang Fang, who wanted to pretend to be a timid, had to say bluntly: "Fourth Prince, if everyone knows that when you have the treasure of the demon clan, you write a thousand taels of gold on a piece of paper and say that this piece of paper can be exchanged for one thousand taels of gold, then it is worth one thousand taels of gold.
You write a million taels of gold, and as long as it cannot be forged, it is worth a million taels of gold."
Ao Xian still looked confused and asked, "But can't the demon tribe be dug out? How can I prove that I have a treasure if I don't dig it out? How can I redeem it if I don't dig it out?"
Wang Fang explained patiently: "The treasure of the demon clan cannot be dug out, but as long as everyone knows that you have it, it's fine. As for how to exchange it, it's the business I mentioned.
I want to cooperate with the Scales to open a money house. Starting funds of several million taels of silver should not be difficult for the Scales. I have 50,000 taels of silver here, and there will be 5,000 taels of gold in a few days, and then I will sell it for houses and land.
Borrowing some more can make up some money.
When the money shop is opened, there is working capital for exchange of silver notes, and if the demon tribe is at the bottom, we can issue at least ten times the silver notes with the working capital.
This money can be used to invest in maritime trade, and the scales can be escorted, and maritime trade can be made without losses; it can be lended, and in order to win over the scales, the prime minister will definitely give a lot of convenience.
I am in the North Palace Guard.
West Palace Guard and South Palace Guard, I find a way to clear it.
I will share some of the shares for them. Anyway, no one dares to dig out the treasure. This is to withdraw the treasures of the demon clan in disguise and let everyone make money together.
With the support of the Jiang Kingdom's ruling layer, with the support of the scale clan and the treasures of the demon clan as collateral, our money house can quickly build up its credit.
At that time, we can attract spare money from all parties to deposit into our money shop, and we can continue to issue additional bank notes and continue to expand investment and lending."
Ao Xian was very fascinated by the blueprints drawn by Wang Fang. He could only write a number and it was money. He didn't dare to think about it before, but this time the money shop that Wang Fang mentioned seemed to be able to achieve.
However, Ao Xian still said worriedly: "We will issue so many additional silver notes, how can we cash out the treasures of the demon clan if we don't dig out?"
Wang Fang patted the silver notes on the table and said, "Fourth Prince, if you knew there was a super big treasure that could cash the silver notes in your hands, would you turn the silver notes into heavy gold and silver?
This is a silver note of 50,000 taels of silver. It is to give it to a child and you can take it away with one hand. But if it is exchanged for 50,000 taels of silver, how many people will need to lift it."
Ao Xian nodded in agreement.
When he first came into contact with silver notes, Ao Xian was also very resisting, thinking that this was just a piece of paper, how could it be compared with real money and silver? But when he took a silver note and really exchanged real money and silver from the money house, he no longer brought a large amount of gold and silver.
Now he is asked to pay the bill with real money, he feels that he has lost his identity.
I, the fourth prince of the Dragon Clan, is it a dragon that costs a small amount of money?
Ao Xian, who likes human life, often comes to travel on land with hidden identity. He is accustomed to silver notes, of course he knows who the people who use silver notes, and also knows that as long as the bank issuing bank has good credit and sufficient funds, most people will not exchange all the silver notes in their hands for gold and silver.
Especially for merchants, the daily bulk transactions are much more convenient than gold and silver trading with silver bills.
If you rely on the treasures of the demon clan to open a money house, I am afraid that no money house in the world can compare with them. Therefore, as long as you build your credit, you can attract all parties to deposit the money in their money house. Then in the future... the amount of silver notes is a bit exaggerated, but it will definitely have a value for it.
Ao Xian didn't expect that the treasure at the bottom of the lake could be exchanged like this. It was really the same as what Wang Fang said, both useful and safe.
He pulled Wang Fang to sit beside him, and his tone of name changed. He ignored the age difference between the two sides and said, "Brother Wang, sit here... When Brother Wang said this money house, I seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, but there were still many confusions.
The main thing is this demon treasure. If King Jiang, Xiang Li, Prince, and Zhenxihou all participate in it, they will definitely know about the additional issuance of silver notes. I am afraid that they will use this to threaten us and let us secretly divide the treasure.
What should I do with this?"
Seeing Ao Xian like this, Wang Fang warned seriously: "No one can participate in the management and decision-making of the money house except you and me. No matter who it is, no matter how powerful it is, he can only share the stocks. The dividends can be given more, but management must not allow them to participate.
If someone asks us to dig up the treasures of the demon clan, whether it is open or secret, the bottom of the Longtan Lake will never move.
Otherwise, you and I will die without a place to bury!"
After hearing what Wang Fang said so seriously, Ao Xian couldn't help but ask: "Why is this?"
Wang Fang whispered: "Because we don't know if there is really a treasure under Longtan Lake. The Fourth Prince, two thousand years have passed, and you are really 100% sure that the treasure is under our feet."
Ao Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "This... According to the records passed down by my dragon clan, the treasures of the demon clan are buried below. But you said you are 100% sure, but I really don't. After all, so long has passed, but I still have 90% sure."
"Ninety percent of the time means that there are 10% possible that you may remember it wrong. In the other two thousand years of geological changes, is it possible to send treasures to other places, and is it possible to disperse treasures in various strata.
Is it possible that someone has found the treasure and taken it away quietly?
As long as we don’t dig it out, we don’t know whether it is there or not; at the same time, as long as we don’t dig it out, everyone thinks it is here, then it is here.
So if your people are digging, let them stop immediately.
King Jiang, Xiang Li, and Marquis of Zhenxi, all those who can sit in high positions know this truth. There are only two possibilities for digging treasures, one is that they have money and the other is that they have no money, but as long as they don’t dig, they will always have money to get it.
Those who benefit will not force you to dig for treasures, but will help us stop others from digging for treasures. They will only try their best to get our money house.
So…you know what to do?”
Although Ao Xian doesn't know how to make money, he knows that Wang Fang definitely understands it, and he knows it better than everyone else. Moreover, in this cooperation, Wang Fang is strong in the scale clan and is weak in his personal power, and the scale clan will definitely take the majority of the profits. Wang Fang has no way to embezzle the treasure.
But if the upper powers of Jiang Kingdom are involved, the strong human race will definitely take the money house for themselves.
Moreover, Ao Xian was really impressed by Wang Fang at this time. To be honest, if he didn't dig it open, he was really not sure that there was a treasure under Longtan Lake. Even if there was... it was not convenient to dig and transport it away.
