Borrow the day to change the day

Wang Fuxi took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and took out a one-two banknote, one one-cent banknote, two one-cent banknotes, one three-cent banknote and one three-percent banknote , a total of six banknotes, and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter in the shop watched Wang Fuxi count the denominations, so there was no problem with the denominations, but he didn't dare to accept the banknotes, so he looked at Wang Fuxi and said, "Guest officer, can I use cash?" ?”

"Why, I'm not cash money anymore. It's real money. See if you can use it with silver money. It bears the official seal of the imperial court." Wang Fuxi said.

"Guest officer, that's not what it means, this, that." The waiter didn't know what to say.

The shopkeeper in the store has been paying attention to the movement here, and now seeing this situation, he came over and explained to Wang Fuxi on behalf of Xiaoer: "Guest officer, my shop is small and can't afford to lose money. Is your banknote the same as before?" I really don’t know about the precious banknotes, so please ask the guest officer to use cash banknotes instead.” [

"It's unreasonable. This is a new treasure banknote issued by the imperial court. It is not the previous Daming Tongxing treasure banknote, but the Daming Jiusi treasure banknote. It is different. This kind of banknote can be freely exchanged for silver in the Daming Royal Bank." Wang Fuxi He pretended to suppress his anger and said.

"Here, guest officer, wait a few days, after I go to the bank for verification, can I use this precious banknote to pay the bill? Now, can I change it to silver bills for the time being?" The shopkeeper still explained kindly, obviously a A person who can do business.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, the merchant wanted to pay the money himself.Wang Fuxi shook his head at him, and said: "Will this store be able to do business? Officials' salaries will be all these Jiusi treasure notes in the future. If they don't accept this kind of treasure notes, there will definitely be fewer customers in the future."

"What the guest officer said is that the shop will definitely accept it next time." The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed, but the meaning in the words was that this time it must be in real currency.

Wang Fuxi seemed very helpless, so he put the Daming Jiusibao banknote back into his bosom, took out a large ingot of silver, threw it to the shopkeeper, and said, "I have ten taels of silver here, go and settle your account."

The shopkeeper quickly thanked Wang Fuxi for his understanding, and then went to the counter to weigh.

After the shopkeeper left, Wang Fuxi complained to the people at the same table: "I really don't know how to flatter, and it's not troublesome to use cash."

The merchant comforted: "Brother, you don't need to have the same knowledge as them. I'll treat you later, and I invite you to eat at another restaurant."

The strong man and the short man also agreed, but they were thinking in their hearts, if someone took the banknotes to buy things in our store, would they accept it or not?

After a while, the shopkeeper came back to this table and brought back the rest of Wenyin to Wang Fuxi.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Fuxi made a fuss again, saying that the weight given by the shopkeeper was not enough, the color was not enough, and so on.

The shopkeeper knew that the guest officer must be angry at him for not accepting his banknotes just now, so he had to apologize with kind words, and if he was not satisfied, he would exchange it for taels of silver. It took a long time to settle the matter.

During this period, the strong man wanted to stand up and persuade Wang Fuxi to forget it, there should be no problem.But the merchant held him down and didn't let him speak.

Other people in the store watched the farce here, thinking in their hearts that this physical currency is indeed not as convenient as banknotes, and this kind of dispute is often seen.

Wang Fuxi seemed to be rather angry with the shopkeeper. After finishing the bill, he said goodbye to his deskmate.

The merchants repeatedly invited them to the next dinner, but he just asked that he was busy and would meet again by fate, so he left first.

After Wang Fuxi left, the three merchants also left the restaurant.

After going out, Shangjia said to his two sworn brothers: "Come on, let's go to the Daming Royal Bank to see the situation."

Naturally, the strong man and the short man have no objection. Before, they were only watching from a distance, but now it is good to be able to see the concrete building up close. [

The merchant asked as he walked, "What do you two think of this Daming Jiusibao banknote?"

The two followed behind the merchant, glanced at each other, and then the short man said, "Brother, we have no idea."

"In my opinion, the imperial court has put a lot of effort into preparing to use this banknote to replace silver taels. Otherwise, it would not have spent so much thought on printing, and it would not have changed the salaries of all officials in Ming Dynasty to this banknote. More importantly It's "Shang Jia said this, he stopped, and turned to look at the two of them.

"What is it?" The short man cooperated well.

"The imperial court used this cement to build a bank first, and used it for the exchange of precious banknotes and silver." The merchant completed his words.

"Will it be exchangeable for a long time?" The short man asked a key question.

The merchant couldn't answer this question. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let's go and see the situation first."

After speaking, the three of them started to move forward again, and after walking for a while, the merchant asked again: "If, like just now, there are also people who bring Daming Jiusibao banknotes to your place to buy things, will you accept them or not?"

The brawny man has thought about this problem just now, accept it, I am afraid that this treasure is unreliable; if you don't accept it, you may lose your business and lose your profit, it is really a dilemma.

Seeing that the short man was also hesitating, he didn't answer what the elder brother said, so he spoke out his thoughts.

The merchant was silent for a while, and then said: "Brother, I suggest you take it. It is true that this banknote is more convenient. But it is best for you to change it every day."

"Brother, why change every day?" the short man said at this time.

"It's just before the bank closes every day, take the banknotes received that day and exchange them for silver taels." The merchant replied.

"Brother, this idea is good, I think it will work." The strong man agreed.

The short man thought that if he changed it every day, even if the government cheated and refused to allow the exchange, he would just lose a day's income.

And doing so is equivalent to collecting banknotes every day, which not only saves a lot of trouble in exchange, but also attracts many customers who hold banknotes.

Therefore, the short man also agreed with the merchant's suggestion.Several people walked to the bank while discussing the banknotes.

After arriving at the Daming Royal Bank, the three of them were amazed by the bank's architecture, feeling magnificent and magnificent.And although the ground is not paved with marble, it is as smooth as marble.

All the doors are made of glass, which makes the light in the room very good.The strong man and the short man were very curious about this, and the merchant had more knowledge than them, so he explained to them in detail that this glass is different from colored glaze.

Then they turned to the gate of the bank and saw a large notice area with a large notice posted on it, explaining the functions of the Daming Royal Bank in detail.

The three of them saw people approaching in twos and threes, looking around like them, apparently to find out the situation.

There are arrows at various gates and intersections, and there are texts indicating where to go.The three of them easily found the outlet for exchanging banknotes for silver taels. [

They found that the mouth was like a pawn shop, with the workers inside and the money changers outside. The three looked around for a while and then stayed aside to see if anyone came to exchange the banknotes.

While waiting, the merchant asserted that he could definitely exchange the silver taels.It is impossible for the policy just issued by the imperial court to be unable to be implemented from the beginning, otherwise it would be a slap in the face for oneself.

Sure enough, at dusk, someone hurried over. After reaching the banknote exchange, he took out some banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the people in the room.

The people in the house were obviously prepared, and after a while, the silver was exchanged, and the man stuffed it in his arms and hurried away, like a thief.

The brawny man looked rather strange, and asked the merchant, "Why is he in such a hurry, under the Ming Imperial City, it is impossible for someone to rob him of his silver."

The merchant looked at the man's back, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "This man must be a family member of an official. He was worried about the banknotes, so he sent his family over to exchange them. But he was afraid that others would see him and say he didn't Supporting the new policy of the imperial court, so come and go in a hurry."

"Why is the elder brother so sure that he is an official's family?" the strong man asked in puzzlement.

"Whoever has banknotes among ordinary people today, you, or you, right? None of us have banknotes. Now only court officials have banknotes." The merchant explained.

"Then what about the brother from the restaurant today, doesn't he have it too?" The short man said unconvinced.

Shang Jia looked at his second brother, and said, "Do you think he is not a member of the government?"

Hearing this, the strong man suddenly realized: "Brother already knew his identity, no wonder I was not allowed to spoil his good deeds."

The merchant smiled slightly, the court's trick of finding someone to talk about things is nothing to put it bluntly, as long as they do business, they will know it.

He said to the two brothers: "Go, go back, we don't care about their identities, we just need to know the meaning behind it."

"Brother is right." The short man also agreed with him.

The three walked back, and when they reached the intersection, the merchant stopped the two who were about to go home and said, "There should be a small fortune here. Although it is risky, I think it is worth a try."
