Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 236 Banknote Circulation

"Yes, General!" Yan Hong thought for a while and asked again: "General, in this way, are you planning to sell our goods to them?"

"En." Zhu Changyuan nodded, but with a strange smile, he said, "It is possible to sell to them, but there are some restrictions."

At present, only merchants from the coastal areas come to buy goods. If one day the news that Sun Moon Island is a cargo base spreads throughout China, and even reaches the surrounding North Korea, Fusang, Luzon, and Ryukyu, then it will be fine.

At that time, not to mention my own ten cars, even if we transport materials from modern society day and night, it will not be able to meet the needs of the entire earth.

what to do?Of course there are some restrictions.

"It's okay if they want to buy our items." Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, motioned Yan Hong to stand up, and said, "Starting today, you will set up a special department on the island, the logistics department."

"The logistics department doesn't need to worry about other things. It is responsible for the storage and transportation of materials on the island, as well as the sale. Er, the finance department should follow up with the accountants when they are sold, and everyone will supervise them together."

After talking so much, Zhu Changyuan also stood up, picked up a one-yuan note from the table, and said, "Those merchants want to buy our goods, of course, but we don't accept them." Gold does not accept silver, only this kind of paper money."

Only accepting banknotes, the benefits are still great. First of all, those merchants who want to get banknotes first have to find a way to coax them from the island residents, but the residents are not fools, and it is impossible to give him their own things for nothing.

In this way, the businessman will naturally find a way, and there is only one way, which is to trade.

In this way, in turn, they will transport a large amount of supplies from land to Sun Moon Island to exchange for the banknotes in the hands of the residents, and then use the banknotes to go to the logistics department of Sun Moon Island to buy items.

After a round of cycles, the banknotes finally returned to Zhu Changyuan's hands, and he could continue to use these banknotes to pay wages.

Two things have quietly changed in this cycle: first, the goods in their hands leave the island in large quantities, bringing modern information and ideas to the entire Asian region; There is an urgent shortage of supplies. If this is the case, you will save yourself the trouble of transporting food, vegetables, clothes, etc.

In addition, very precious jade and porcelain can also be exchanged for banknotes!Note that it is very precious, not just in the general sense.

"Of course, all the residents must be notified before this, and all the silver taels must be exchanged into banknotes before tomorrow. If they wait until tomorrow, they will not be exchanged."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Changyuan said again: "Strictly guard the news, drive all the wealthy businessmen to the sea before the banknote exchange is over, and refuse to enter the island, and are not allowed to disclose the specific reasons to the residents."

It's very simple, he doesn't want all the money he has worked so hard to bring from modern society to be exchanged for rich businessmen, and he still expects rich businessmen to work for him.

"Of course, these people attending the meeting are all the high-level executives of our Riyue Island, they are the backbone, and they are the talents that I, Zhu Changyuan, fancy, so I will give you the same separate benefits and tell you to mention it, so those who have money at home , let’s exchange them all into banknotes, after tomorrow, there will be no place for all the silver on Sun Moon Island.”

"Thank you, Sacred General." Everyone bowed their hands to Zhu Changyuan to thank him.

Zhu Changyuan said: "Okay, go and settle this matter, and then it will be a major event to build the foundation pit."

After speaking, the meeting is over.

After the meeting, the island began to get busy. Regardless of the bad weather, the management staff drove all the wealthy businessmen from the island to the sea, and told them that they could come from the sea tomorrow to buy goods.

After driving away the rich merchants, all the soldiers received the order, and then braved the wind and snow to go door-to-door to inform the residents on the island: the holy general's decree, all the silver should be exchanged for banknotes, and the circulation of silver on the island will be prohibited afterwards.

The residents had no choice but to get out of the warm blankets one by one, braving the snowstorm to exchange banknotes.

The residents didn't have much money, so they came here one by one with silver taels, most of which were only ten taels and 20 taels. Zhu Changyuan personally opened three houses in the office building for exchange, and one tael was exchanged for one yuan.

In one afternoon, all 2 people on the island had exchanged money, and the silver in the house was piled up like a hill, amounting to several 10 taels, and Zhu Changyuan's banknotes quickly decreased by hundreds of thousands.

It's all change.

Except for Yan Hong and his management staff, few people below have the ability to exchange hundred-dollar bills.

The next day, the merchants who came to the island full of excitement to buy goods were dumbfounded when they arrived. Whether it was shopping, eating, or even staying, they almost felt like cramping and vomiting blood.

There is no cash on the island, only banknotes.

"A banknote, or a banknote, what is a banknote?" A wealthy businessman from Zhejiang area stomped his feet angrily, and the snow under his feet creaked, but he still didn't know what a banknote was.

Yan Hong was not far from these managers, holding a one-yuan banknote in his hand and distributing one to each of the wealthy businessmen, saying: "My friends, this is my Riyue Island banknote, the light green note you are holding in your hand , worth one tael of silver, today I am ordered by the Holy General to give each of you one tael for free for viewing."

"This, this is the banknote?" The Zhejiang rich businessman's eyes lit up and he was full of admiration. He said, "It really is Riyue Island. It's really a big deal. The paper can be described and printed so beautifully. It's simply amazing."

"One yuan, one tael of silver, good, good!" He held the banknote and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and another businessman from Shandong said in amazement: "Old Hu, take a closer look, this banknote is not only exquisitely printed, but also What's so special about it?"

"What's unique?" Zhejiang named Lao Hu wrapped up his leather jacket, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "It's so lifelike, it's hard to imitate, and there are some characters I don't know. Do you have the rest?"

"Hehe." The Shandong businessman said, "Rub it carefully with your hands."

According to what he said, Lao Hu rubbed it for a while and still couldn't find anything. He suspected that it was because his hands were too cold in winter. He took a few breaths of hot air on his hand, and then rubbed it carefully. When he was scratching, he was startled suddenly, and said: "Great money, big money, the banknotes of the sun and the moon are much better than those issued by the imperial court to officials."

"With this craftsmanship alone, a one-yuan banknote can be worth hundreds of taels of silver."

Everyone admired in front of Yan Hong genuinely and falsely, and then asked in a low voice: "Master Yan, I don't know how we can exchange these banknotes, please show me the way, Lord Yan."

Yan Hong nodded, and said with a smile: "I am here to show you the way, sir, I don't know, the workers and residents on my island, the money in circulation is this kind of banknotes, so to speak, as long as it is my Sun Moon Island Everyone in the town has banknotes. My Xiaohe County Lord has ordered the opening of a market in the southwest of the town, and you can buy real estate and shops there. The Princess said that if you buy a shop, you can give one person a Sun Moon Island account."

"Oh? There is such a beautiful thing?" Lao Hu said with a smile.

"Old Hu, don't be too happy." He Yihao, a businessman from Shandong, was a mighty-looking man, looked at Yan Hong, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, isn't the money in circulation on the island banknotes? How can you buy a store without banknotes? Let alone a Riyue Island account!"

"Uh, uh!" Lao Hu slapped his forehead and said to Yan Hong, "Yes."

The Fujian businessman was a black man, and he asked Yan Hong, "Boss Yan, what should I do?"

Yan Hong smiled slightly and said: "My princess is very thoughtful and has thought of your difficulties a long time ago. Riyue Island has set up a bank in the town. If you have rare treasures as collateral, you can go there to borrow money, and it's low. Interest loan, only 5.00% a year."

"5.00%?" Everyone was stunned.

"That's the annual interest rate, half out of ten." When Yan Hong said this, everyone understood.

Take half out of ten, even if it is a loan of 1 taels of silver, the annual interest is only a mere 500 taels, which is considered to be the lowest interest rate in ancient times.

After a while, Zhu Changyuan also came to meet with several rich merchants, and after a few words of encouragement, he said: "As for the opening of the port on the island, Princess Xiaohe has already ordered it, you don't have to worry, you can buy a set of shops at that time, and you can give it away as a gift." One-person account."

"But think about it, everyone. We have everything here. Except for the basic rice, vegetables and seasonal vegetables, we don't need too many things." Zhu Changyuan reminded.

He Yihao, a businessman from Shandong, laughed and said, "General, you are worrying too much. No matter how well-thought-out Sun Moon Island is, it cannot bring all the things under the sun to the island. We have our own way."

After finishing speaking, in order to show that his point of view is correct, He Yihao walked tens of meters away and pulled a young resident over, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, is it good to live on the island?"

"Okay." Seeing Zhu Changyuan, the young man knelt down and shouted, "Holy General."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Get up, and answer Mr. He's words truthfully!"

"Yes!" The young man said: "I can eat enough to eat on the island and earn wages, I think it's very good, there is nothing wrong with it."

He Yihao asked again: "Do you feel that something is missing?"

When he asked this question, other merchants also stretched their necks to know the answer. You must know that as long as these residents lacked things, they could almost get them. When the time came, they would sell and collect banknotes, and then buy goods for sale.

"There is no shortage." The young people really think about it. They can eat enough and sleep well, and the island is very peaceful. Even if they can have food and clothing in this severe cold weather, what else is there to lack?
"Brother, think again, but what is missing?" He Yihao asked hopefully.

"Think about it again?" The young man repeated He Yihao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "You say that, I think there is one thing that is really in short supply, but the shops on the island don't sell it."

"What is it?" Besides He Yihao, those businessmen from Fujian and Guangdong also asked.

However, what the young man said next made these people almost spurt blood.

"I think there is a lack of a daughter-in-law now!"

"puff!"

　There are too many things happening recently, and the update may not be stable, but it is still guaranteed to be updated twice a day. . . .In addition, I would like to thank the big brother Tianhai Xiangyun for the gift again, thank you on my knees. . . .
