My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 464 Promotion of Banknotes
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

Wei Cheng did not fly back to China on purpose this time, but traveled directly to the time and space of the Three Kingdoms in Zimbabwe.

As for the visa issue, he is now an investor in the Xia Kingdom, which basically means he has obtained the permanent residency in Zimbabwe.

Another reason for not returning to China first is that it is more convenient to buy gasoline and other supplies here.

Here, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

After returning to China, you have to report every gasoline you buy, which is too easy to reveal your secrets.

After deliberately asking Lisa to send herself to the airport, Wei Cheng walked into the bathroom and crossed directly.

Three Kingdoms time and space.

Compared with modern time and space, the temperature here is significantly lower, perhaps because there are more green plants, and the air is slightly cooler.

Wei Cheng changed into Hanfu, and sprinkled herbal powder on his body specially to remove the smell of perfume that Lisa left him.

Wei Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is, and it's a great reward."

"Well, this plan is feasible, no matter how big the transaction is, I agree." Wei Min smiled with a twist.

The boy watched them leave, sighed wryly, "Leaving again, today is the seventh wave."

"Jing'er, is the retreat going well this time?" Wei Yan asked with a smile.

As long as one's profile picture can be printed on banknotes, it will be a real honor to be passed down through the ages.

The little servant chuckled, and said: "This master is a man of temperament at first glance, there are, there are, as long as it is banknotes."

Although Cai Yan is not good at handling the government affairs of the harem, she is qualified as a good wife and mother.

"Uh... yes, yes, yes, Chen also remembered that there are still some chores at home that need to be dealt with, so I will leave."

"Hey, there's such a good thing!" Several merchants regained their energy in an instant.

Several people looked at the banknote in their hands. They had doubts just now. The portrait of the person on the banknote was very strange, and they didn't know who it was.

Behind the glass counter, a few young girls were so busy that they never touched the floor.

Wei Cheng knew that they would have this doubt, so he took out the pen and paper he had prepared long ago, and said: "Being afraid of fire is afraid of fire, but the advantage of being easy to carry is enough. It won't go bad for years, you can rest assured."

One of the wealthy businessmen's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Little brother, where did you hear this news?"

The same scene plays out here as well.

One of the merchants looked around, took out a 10-yuan note from his pocket, and said, "Little brother, can this thing work?"

Mrs. Zhou took the banknotes and looked at them, then frowned and said, "Okay, let me tell you why you came back last night to be sneaky, and your feelings are that you didn't tell me when you got a monthly salary, so I won't break his dog legs when I go back. "

Among the several properties under Hao Niang's name, this is the one with the best business and the most sought after by the people.

Wei Min's eyes lit up, "But there's another big move?"

Wei Cheng put the banknotes on the table, and said, "Tentatively set the hundred-yuan bill, the 50-yuan banknote, the 20-yuan and [-]-yuan bills, and the five-yuan and one-yuan bills. The one yuan here corresponds to the The purchasing power of a copper coin."

There is nothing to discuss, it must be done.

Suddenly someone reacted and shouted: "Oops, if the news is true, the tickets we hoarded will be lost."

"Of course, and you use banknotes to shop, and you don't need receipts. I guess that after a while, those cloth and food stamps will be useless."

"Paper money?"

"Want to try?"

The few people smiled narrowly, and walked towards Huamanlou with their shoulders crossed. This should be a tacit understanding that only belongs to men.

"Oh, everyone, it's inconvenient today. If someone is still with you, you have to take a step first."

···
Fan's balm shop.

Second Uncle Wei Min, Fifth Uncle Wei Hao, Eldest Brother Wei Kai, Xu Ding, Tian Feng, and Xun Yu rushed over as soon as they learned that Wei Cheng was leaving the customs.

The wealthy merchants were startled for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Shen Tang is in charge?"

"This is a new type of printing machine, which is specially used to print new currency. Take a look first, and build a workshop in the palace later."

The servant smiled slightly, acquiescing to their guess.

···
Hao taste pastry shop.

"It's no wonder that Huamanlou's business is so good. I heard that that person has a lot of background. Mr. Wei once called her sister."

"Don't worry, don't crowd, come one by one, as long as there are enough pastries for today, don't worry, if you squeeze the counter, you will have to pay for it."

Those who have pastry tickets are rich families, and they will not come to buy them in person, and usually send them over.

Regarding this, Cai Yan smiled lightly and stopped asking.

He thought of those big guys in the space, and couldn't help but smile, this time it was a real dimensionality reduction blow.

Mrs. Zhou's husband is a civil servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He often visits her on weekdays, and the two of them can be regarded as acquainted.

Of course, that was before.

"What kind of paper? People from the Ministry of Industry said that this is money, which will replace copper coins in the future."

The boy standing at the door saw a group of people approaching, and greeted them with a smile, holding a roster in his hand.

"As for banknotes of other denominations, how many denominations are there?" Fifth Uncle Wei Hao asked.

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, and took the money printing machine manual that he had prepared earlier from the side.

Several people looked up.

"Oh, is there such a beautiful thing?"

When Wei Min heard this, he immediately said: "Yuan Hao is right, the largest denomination must use the portrait of Cheng'er, there is no need to discuss this."

The plump shopkeeper walked out of the counter with a smile, holding a 50 yuan note in his hand, and said, "That's it, Mrs. Zhou, haven't you seen it? It shouldn't be, I remember that the court's monthly salary for this month has already been issued Understand."

"Girl, hurry up, pack three pieces of cake for me, one piece of mango and two pieces of durian."

"Haha, I didn't expect it to work, so I'm relieved."

Several people looked at each other, and Xun Yu asked curiously: "Wei Jun wants to print currency with paper?"

Compared with the column of "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", there is also the honor of the Temple of War, and even a special honor, an honor that no one can refuse.

Wei Cheng nodded as a tacit consent.

"Yes, if you use banknotes, you can get a 108% discount, and grandma will give me [-] yuan."

"Yeah, I was worried all morning, and almost thought I was tricked by the people from the Ministry of Industry."

Wei Cheng chuckled lightly and said, "The cost of minting copper coins is too high. I should use this kind of paper and pen. Not only is the cost low, but also I am not afraid of others imitating it. Whether it is paper or ink, I am the only one who has the secret recipe."

After lunch.

The proposal of the last bearded man was approved by everyone.

The eyes of several people were shining, and they couldn't hear Wei Cheng's meaning.

Wei Hao and Wei Ji nodded again and again, this is not only the reputation of Wei Cheng alone, but also the glory of their entire Wei family.

Wei Cheng looked at the second uncle speechlessly, saw that he was admitting death, smiled wryly and shook his head.

···
half a month later.

He greeted warmly: "Masters, welcome to Huamanlou. Would you like to drink or listen to music?"

Where does money matter?

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, nodding in unison, there is no doubt about this.

Several merchants were gathering together to discuss something, and they all held a strange kind of paper in their hands.

There are many ways to mint copper coins. Some places are rich in copper resources, such as the fiefdoms of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong. They can mint coins by themselves, so for a market, inflation and other bad situations are likely to occur.

Walking out of the warehouse, the female guard quickly informed the girls of Cai Yan that his retreat had ended.

Wei Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "It's so wonderful. With this kind of banknotes, I don't have to worry about those kings with different surnames thinking about it. I'm afraid that's why Cheng'er developed the pen and paper. Bar?"

"What do you call this? We sent so much coal, but in the end we only got these few sheets of paper?"

It was Wei Cheng who shook his head and said, "Don't flatter me, it doesn't matter if you use me or not, I'm not the kind of person who cares about fame."

The boy rolled his eyes and said mysteriously: "To tell you the truth, our master's surname is Zhang."

The crowd scattered as birds and beasts.

After the Imperial Knights are equipped with the latest weapons, they will be taken for a walk around the territory of the Four Spirit Army.

The girls dispersed separately, Wei Cheng also tidied up and came to the imperial study.

"The cake you want, mango thirty cents, durian two ninety cents, total..."

"Husband, is there any gain from this retreat?" Cai Yan asked curiously while filling the soup.

Wei Cheng nodded, and said: "It's going well. Second Uncle will probably be busy in the next few days."

A tea house in Luoyang.

Especially with Lu Bu and Sun Ce, we must let them clearly understand the gap, so that they will not have messy thoughts.

"Yo, it's Mrs. Zhou. That's right, you don't need to check the physical ticket, but you have to pay with banknotes."

After Wei Cheng finished speaking, several people all reacted.

Wei Yan took the pen and paper and found that there were several, so he divided two of them.

"That's what I said, but compared to the heavy copper coins, no matter how I look at it, I think this thing is not reliable."

Behind it are architectural drawings and landscapes. As for the characters, I don't even know them. It feels like characters from the Western Regions.

The shopkeeper covered his mouth with a smile, and reminded: "After Mrs. Zhou goes back, remember to exchange the food stamps and cloth stamps at home for banknotes, as well as copper coins. In a short time, the whole big man will only be able to use There's new money, madam, don't throw it away."

Seeing that none of them had any objections, Wei Cheng reminded: "Of course, apart from these, you also have to think about how to promote paper money smoothly, and don't make people resentful."

Although the Fan family did not directly marry the Wei family, because of Cai Yan's relationship, they were the first family to receive benefits.

Because there is no need for pastry tickets, it is rare to see a few people in the shop on weekdays.

Wei Cheng bought the old banknote printing machine, on the one hand, to promote the development of the market economy, and on the other hand, he also took this into consideration.

As for the girl who is full of flowers.

Wei Cheng pretended to eat a lunch, and retreated for five days, and it would be unreasonable not to eat something.

Not long after, a group of people came to the busiest Changle Street in the east of the city.

Some come to see the world, some come to listen to music, some have more money to drink and have fun, and most of them come to see beautiful women.

"I want three catties of mung bean cake, little girl, you can help me pretend first, I'll come first."

Tian Feng was the first to suggest: "The banknote with the largest denomination must be Wei Jun's portrait."

Others naturally had no objections, and at the same time they also discovered the beauty of paper money, which is indeed much more convenient than copper coins.

Two people left suddenly, and the other wealthy businessmen were startled.

Wei Ji looked at the 10 yuan paper and pen in his hand, and said: "This kind of paper is really different from the paper we write on daily. It feels smooth and smooth, but it is tough enough. There is a layer of ink on the surface. As long as it is not soaked in the water for a long time In water, it should not spoil."

If you want to buy some pastries on weekdays, you can't do without a special pastry ticket.

The boy's eyes lit up, his attitude became more respectful, and he said, "You can use it, you can use it, and you can enjoy a [-]% discount if you spend it in our Huamanlou."

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks hurriedly asked: "Is there a discount for calling a girl?"

Seeing Wei Cheng's mysterious smile, Cai Yan knew that the so-called harvest should be a firearm.

Wei Cheng said with a smile: "I invite you here today, and there is another important task."

After that, there was a long silence, and the heavy breathing of several people.

Wei Min frowned and said, "Paper is easy to rot and corrode, and you're afraid of water and fire. I'm afraid it's not right?"

Wei Cheng waved the hundred-yuan bill in his hand, and said, "You have also seen this bill. Besides the words, there are two patterns on it."

Huamanlou is one of the more popular flower buildings, and it costs ten Wen to enter.

It's a precautionary measure.

"Go to Huamanlou."

Of course, there is one more important point.

"Girl, I have new money, don't I need pastry tickets?"

Tian Feng tugged at the hundred-yuan bill, and said: "That's true. If you're only afraid of fire, it's okay. No one throws money into the fire pit."

But today, the pastry shop is packed with people.

"Shopkeeper, is there any ice cream left?"

The servant heard this, and said with a smile: "At first glance, the masters are big figures who have come to the city to do big business. You may not know that the imperial court now encourages the use of this currency. Not only Changle Street actively responds, but people like Wei, Xie There are also discounts in the shops of some big families such as the Yang family and the Yang family."

Wei Ting said with a smile: "I drew these characters casually, and I can change them into Chinese characters later. As for the patterns, I need your advice. Whose head portrait is better to put, and the landscape behind it can also be discussed."

"Okay, here's a hundred-yuan one, and a ten-yuan one."

They had tasted the sweetness of running Wei Cheng's soap business before, and they have kept in touch with Wei Shi since then.

"That's right, I'll give you two yuan, please keep it."

Fortunately, the boss had expected it a long time ago, and invited a few people to help today, so that the scene would not be too noisy.

"Treasurer Fan, is it true that you can buy perfume without a ticket?"

Even though it was still broad daylight, the brothels on Changle Street were already full of guests.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou asked curiously, "Does my sister have any inside information?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, and said narrowly: "It's not about any inside information, people with connections already know about it, if you don't believe me, go back and ask your family, although I don't know why he didn't tell you, heck."

Mrs. Zhou blushed and said angrily: "What else can I do? This guy is so courageous. He probably wants to exchange money secretly without telling me. If I don't come, I don't know that bills can be exchanged for money." , it must be hidden by him at that time."

The shopkeeper knew it well, took Mrs. Zhou's big hand, and said: "Then Mrs. must go back and have a look, lest she turn around and suffer from being dumb."
