Chapter 525
"The old thing is abomination, the marquis helps me to kill it!"
Lu Duosun gritted his teeth and suggested to Ye Hua. He looked solemn, his fists were clenched, and the blue veins on his temples were tensed up. He was really furious!
Ye Hua leaned against the seat, but instead wanted to laugh, "Mr. Lu, who do you want to kill?"
"Marty!" Lu Duoxun snorted angrily: "Marty is a great talent, why bother to pretend to be confused? Of course, it is the old guy Wei Renpu!"
Ye Hua said: "Gonggong Wei was the presiding minister of the late emperor. He was a veteran of the two dynasties. Now he has worked hard and goes south to Suzhou to comfort the people and show his power. There is no reason to kill him!"
"Why didn't there?" Lu Duoxun took two steps, came to Ye Hua, tapped the table with his finger, and cursed, "The court asked him to go to Suzhou, but what did this old guy do? As soon as he got off the ship, he promised to help him become the top ten money. Marquis, do you know how big this hole is? I'm afraid it can't be filled in three to five million coins!"
Lu Duosun was about to explode, and he glared, "I came to Chuzhou this time to bring in some money to go back and solve the current predicament, but now it's better, there's not a single tael of silver, but I have to take so much money to send it to Suzhou. Isn't this cheating? Wei Renpu is generous to the treasury and buy him the money of the people of the court to buy him reputation. His heart can be killed, but he can be killed! Marquis, if you don't dare to write a letter, I will write a letter by myself, asking Your Majesty to kill the old thief to correct the court's principles!"
"etc!"
Ye Hua waved his hand quickly, "I said Mr. Lu, your crime is too serious. Suzhou surrenders, so it is worth giving some benefits. Why bother to be shady?"
"Marquis!" Lu Duoxun stomped his feet and said, "Is this a benefit? I want to ask the Marquis, how much money does Suzhou have to be used as the top ten? We have exchanged them all, can the court take it out? If someone takes all the top ten money from Southern Tang to Suzhou and let us exchange it, it will be more than ten million yuan! My Marquis! For a mere Suzhou, the treasury was empty. Should you bear the consequences or let me bear the burden?" Lu Duoxun said angrily: "I heard that the Marquis has a rich family. A few days ago, you minted coins with Mr. Li, and you probably made a lot of money. I am rich and powerful. My little arms and legs are not comparable. As long as you don't use the treasury, I will let you do anything, and I have nothing to say!"
Lu Duosun released all his anger like a cannon, and sat in his seat and sulked.
Ye Hua smiled indifferently and was not panicked, "Mr. Lu, you are now the three envoys of the current dynasty. Your Majesty has given you the important task of financial management. If you cannot see the mystery behind wealth, cannot create something out of nothing, cannot turn stones into gold, and cannot turn decay into magic, how can you shoulder the important task of financial management?"
"This..." Lu Duoxun scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Marty, does the Three Sessions need to do this? Isn't it just enough to manage finance, taxation, land and taxes?"
Ye Hua shrugged, "Of course you don't understand, but Mr. Li understands!"
When talking about his ex, Lu Duosun frowned, his heart was beating and he could only say tremblingly: "Marquis, the official is really confused, so please give me some advice."
"What's hard to understand?" Ye Hua chuckled and said, "Didn't you find out? This time, providing a guarantee for the top ten money is a good opportunity to make a fortune. As long as we operate properly, we will not only not have to pay a penny, but also hold the entire Southeast economic lifeline in our hands!"
Ye Hua stood up from his seat with a faint smile on his face, very relieved.
"The situation in Suzhou really surprised me. At this point, Suzhou has become a fulcrum and a fulcrum that can leverage the world!" Ye Hua said confidently: "As long as Suzhou is managed well, it can not only unify Jiangnan, but also pave the way for the next step of reform. I didn't expect that this would be the case!"
Ye Hua asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, have you ever seen a irrigation truck?"
Lu Duosun thought for a while, "It's the trolley by the Wuzhang River that is used to lift water and irrigate?"
"That's right, Suzhou is now a barrel car, which can draw us from Southeast wealth!"
...
The Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to provide guarantees for Suzhou's currency, but how to exchange the money, you can't just set up a stall and put a bunch of copper coins, so let the people come over to exchange for money!
The meaning of Dazhou here is to let the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce stand up and form a Suzhou Bank. The Chamber of Commerce provides talents, venues, and various conveniences, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Dazhou contributes capital, accounting for 70% of the shares.
Through Suzhou Bank, exchange it for all business people as the top ten money!
In addition, Suzhou Bank also launched a business, which is interest-bearing deposits, with a tentative annual interest rate of 10%. This number is definitely outrageously high compared to later generations, but in any dynasty where currency is generally short of money, it is very low.
However, there is one thing that others cannot compare with Suzhou Bank, which is that the Ministry of Revenue of Dazhou provides guarantees.
For example, if you deposit ten thousand trump cards into the bank, no matter what the bank is, as long as you hold the certificate of deposit, you can withdraw the deposit as much as you want at Dazhou at any time, no difference!
After this article was announced, the business people in Suzhou suddenly had a reliance on their hearts.
Speaking of which, what everyone is most afraid of is that Wu Yue sends troops to suppress it, or Nan Tang takes advantage of the chaos to send troops! Once that happens, all your wealth and life will be gone.
Everyone does not believe in the weak Wu Yue, nor does they believe in Li Hongji. Even the Chamber of Commerce doubts that the only thing that can bring safety to the people is the Great Zhou!
Suzhou Bank is endorsed by Dazhou, and putting money in Suzhou Bank is safer than anything else.
What's more, Suzhou Bank also promises to exchange it as the top ten money, which would be even better!
It is worthy of being a great country, why have you thought about everything for everyone!
The people of Suzhou flocked to the bank's business points.
At first I just came to exchange it as a top ten money for copper, but gradually, some people found that it was not safe to have so many copper coins at home, so it would be better to just deposit it into the bank for interest!
In this way, people first exchanged it for copper coins and then deposited it in the bank.
Gradually, someone figured it out again, isn’t it a waste of time to save like this?
Just deposit the top ten money into the bank, what else can I change? It’s just taking off my pants and farts!
What's even more gratifying is that because of the guarantee provided by the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the top ten money was recognized by the people, the currency value became increasingly stable. From the beginning, it could only be used as three-money, but gradually it turned into five-money and seven-money, and later it was just ten-money.
Some people think it is simple and convenient to be the top ten money, so they take the initiative to collect the top ten money.
At this moment, Ren Tianxing's fleet brought a batch of top ten coins, which was very exquisitely cast, far better than Nan Tang's inferior quality as top ten coins... Suzhou Bank announced that in order to facilitate market transactions, Suzhou Bank issued top ten coins, and exchanged them for the top ten coins on the market.
The news spread and the people of Suzhou became even more excited. There were people queuing up all night in front of the bank business site, so there was no need to mention the excitement...
Although Lu Duoxun did not go to Suzhou, he read the reports sent from Suzhou every day. The more he looked, the more he became more and more dumbfounded. When he saw it, Lu Duoxun was about to vomit blood!
"My God! Da Zhou didn't even give up a single son, so why did he get 70% of Suzhou Bank's shares? This is too much!"
Ye Hua doesn’t like to listen, “Why didn’t I pay for it? Who made those top ten dollars?”
Lu Duoxun suddenly remembered and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Marty, those fake coins used as the top ten coins are the counterfeit coins you and Li Gu. You, you are too bad!"
Ye Hua smiled calmly, "Mr. Lu, if you are not bad enough, why are you playing with money?"
Lu Duoxun was speechless. He wanted to be quiet... Lu Duoxun was stunned, but Li Gu in the capital was so happy that he wrote an IOU to Chai Rong not long ago. Although Guo Zongxun returned it to him, Li Gu did not dare to forget the money he owed to the royal family.
In order to pay back the money as soon as possible, he dared to cast even fake money.
But Mr. Li has only now discovered that opening a bank is even more profitable than minting fake money!
He not only paid back the ten million he owed, but also had a continuous stream of wealth.
Li Gu can finally face Chai Rong with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei announced that he would be the top ten money for Suzhou merchants. He first borrowed two million guan of copper coins from the merchants in Suzhou. In just five days, he exchanged 3.5 million guan!"
"etc!"
Chai Rong was confused when he heard this, "I borrowed two million and exchanged them for 3.5 million. Li Gu, are you confused?"
Li Gu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am not confused. It is because some people deposited the money back to Suzhou Bank during this period. In fact, on the third day, the deposit balance was reached. The next step was a large amount of deposits. At present, there are more than 3 million guan in Suzhou Bank. According to 70% of the shares, there are more than 230 million guan in the Great Zhou Dynasty! In addition, the old minister minted ten million guan and had been transported to Suzhou. The merchants and civilians fully accepted it and used it at ten cents. After deducting the cost, they made about 80% of the money, which is 8 million guan. With the discount of the shares, it is more than 10 million."
When Li Gu said this, he bowed deeply and smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister has filled the gap. Please ask Your Majesty for the Holy Tribunal!" Li Gu said it twice in a row before Chai Rong woke up suddenly. He shook his head, as if he was listening to a myth.
"Mr. Li, I'm confused about what's going on." Chai Rong said: "A small Suzhou can swallow so much money, and I won't believe it even if I die!"
Li Gu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have to thank Li Hongji for this matter! He promoted the five major money and ten major money, which made the market in Jiangnan mess. What would he do if His Majesty was those rich big families?"
Chai Rong was so agile, and immediately said: "Of course I have found a way to save my property."
"What method should I use?"
"Drop to Suzhou Bank!" Chai Rong slapped the table, "I understand. The money they deposited was exchanged for the top ten money from the Great Zhou Dynasty! Your skills are amazing!"
Li Gu said proudly: "It takes some effort to be the top ten money. In fact, it is more of a certificate of deposit. If it is just a piece of paper, it means it is a letter of vain. But with the endorsement of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it becomes real money, more real than gold!"
