Feng Heming

Chapter 437
It was already cold winter when the merchant team returned to Dayong, just in time to sell the furs and various blankets brought back from the Western Regions. There are many noble ladies and young ladies scrambling to buy it first.

At this time, the people in the golden land also came back. When a state machine is running, the efficiency is astonishingly frightening. The Jinsha River in the golden land has long been emptied, leaving only the dry mud at the bottom of the river. Nearly 20 catties of gold bricks were added.

And after the Jinsha River in the Golden Land was emptied, Chang Mingyi found out that there were two large gold mines and three large silver mines on that island. Even Chang Mingyi sighed, "Really! Heaven-sent place."

With 20 catties of gold bricks, the bank was finally successfully opened, and Jiang Yuanxi personally wrote a pen and named it: Tongbao Bank.

Behind Tongbao Bank is the imperial court, and the common people can only watch for fun when it appears. The people who will really enter the bank are either powerful families or big merchants, and these people are all watching.

Tongbao Bank has been open for five full days, and the doors are crowded. Jiang Bojin's face is very dark, so he simply sent invitations to the aristocratic families and merchants in Chang'an City, forcing these people who are still watching to bite the bullet and go behind Jiang Bojin After leaving Tongbao Bank, along the way, they were worried that Jiang Bojin, a black-hearted man, would buy and sell again.

As a result, after arriving at Tongbao Bank, under the heavy guard of soldiers, the whole room was covered with gold bricks, which almost blinded the group of people.

Many people swallowed their throats with a thud. So many gold bricks are worth [-]% of the wealth of many people here.

"These are just a small part of our gold brick reserves. As long as you deposit gold in our Tongbao Bank, you can get the corresponding gold ticket denomination. If you want to withdraw gold, come here with your gold ticket. After checking that there is no problem , we will also send sergeants to escort you home.”

Jiang Bojin put his hands on his sleeves, and Shi Shiran said, bewitching these people to bring gold here to exchange for gold tickets, "Think about it, if your business journey is far away, you are afraid of being robbed of gold with a carriage, right? Bring gold tickets Who knows how much gold you have with you? Your Majesty intends to set up Tongbao Banks in every county, and you will be able to extract gold wherever you are."

The dignitaries and merchants of the Dayong Dynasty had a lot of gold, and the combined gold owned by these people would not be less than the national treasury. However, the gold circulation on the market has not been large, because when these people are buried, they must be buried with gold utensils.

Jiang Bojin felt that if the tombs of the ancestors of those aristocratic families were dug up, the gold wares that would be brought out would be several times more than the imperial treasury.

Most of the gold that exists on this land is buried underground.

In the past, Jiang Bojin naturally wouldn't think there was any problem. Since he was in business, years of experience made him understand a very strange phenomenon. Only when there is more gold and silver in the market, the sale of goods will be good, and then the production There are more and more people with goods.

He didn't understand this phenomenon, but the increasing amount of gold he earned made him understand that only by circulating gold in trading can he earn more gold and silver, so he raised his hand in favor of Jiang Yuanxi's desire to build a bank.

And Jiang Bojin's words made the eyes of those in power in these aristocratic families brighten. With the gold ticket, they can get gold from banks in various places in Dayong?

If this is the case, it is really very convenient!
Originally, these people were afraid that Jiang Bojin would be deceived, but after seeing the gold bricks in this house, their doubts became much less.

It is said that Wei Guogong Huo Jingshan discovered a heaven-sent land and thus won the third gold medal for avoiding death. At first, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now he realizes that it is more modest.

"Dare to ask Master Shangshu, do you have silver tickets besides gold tickets?" It was the merchant who saw the question most practically, and was the first to ask at this moment.

Jiang Bojin liked this man a lot in his heart, and he still worried about how to throw out the banknote.

"Of course there are silver notes. If the bank doesn't have enough silver, you can exchange them for silver notes with gold, but it takes 11 taels of silver to exchange for one tael of gold."

In the market, ten taels of silver are usually exchanged for one tael of gold, but basically you have to add another tael or two taels of silver to exchange successfully, because people here believe in "serving death as life", and believe that after death, only those who died must be buried with them. Only the things you are used to can live well in the underworld, and gold wares are indispensable as funeral objects, so the supply of gold is in short supply. If you can exchange silver for gold, you will definitely get the gold in your hands without saying a word.

Originally, these people were worried that if the money could not be used in the bank, there would always be some trouble, but now they heard that there were even bank notes, and they were relieved.

"Master Shangshu, what are the denominations of the gold and silver notes?" Someone asked again.

Jiang Bojin replied: "A gold brick weighs ten catties, so the minimum denomination of our gold and silver notes is one hundred, then five hundred, and the largest is one thousand. There are only these three types."

Many people nodded slightly, and immediately someone asked: "Master Shangshu, can I exchange for gold tickets at this moment?"

What Jiang Bojin wanted was someone to exchange for the gold ticket, and he looked at this person with gratified eyes, "Of course it is possible, how much denomination do you want to exchange for the gold ticket? As a big merchant in Chang'an City, you don't want to exchange it for a few thousand gold Tickets are not worthy of your status."

This man's face turned slightly green, and the others looked at him sympathetically, as expected, they knew that this black-hearted Minister of the Household Department would not let them go so easily, and it cost him a few thousand to open his mouth.

The man bite the bullet and said: "My lord, I don't have so much gold at home for the time being, I want to exchange it for a thousand and five gold tickets."

He originally wanted to exchange it for five hundred, but Jiang Bojin spoke up, fearing that he would feel better if he didn't save face, so at least he added another thousand.

Jiang Bojin sighed in disappointment, "This is not in line with your status at all, okay, fifteen thousand is one thousand five."

That reluctant look made this man's teeth itch. He is just a merchant. There are so many families present here. If he dares to come forward to exchange thousands of gold tickets, he will be treated as prey by the family later. Didn't you see that the once famous giant Gu's family was ruined?

Jiang Bojin got a bargain, and turned his eyes to other people, smiling, making their backs shudder when they saw it, "How much do you plan to exchange?"

Come on, those who have dealt with Jiang Bojin understand that none of these people present can be lower than [-], or else he will lose face, and the people from the household department will stare at their permanent property and the taxes to be paid in the autumn harvest. I do not know how much more.

Such black-hearted people dare not provoke, dare not provoke.
