Qin Shaoyou ignored his hands, which had both advantages and disadvantages for Yang Jiong. Of course, the advantage was obvious, that is, the less Qin Shaoyou interfered in the meeting hall, the more authority he, the speaker, also had. ~,

However, the meeting hall had just started, and the dispute was in a big way. Even the basic discussion could not be carried out. He could not hide his face and adopted any coercive measures, because once he was strong, it would become an offensive thing. The merchants naturally had to accuse him of being a gentry and favoring the gentry. However, the gentry felt that he was not favored and considerate enough, and the biggest possibility was that both sides were not pleased.

Yang Jiong came to "ask" Qin Shaoyou, hoping that Qin Shaoyou would be this bad guy, but Qin Shaoyou was unwilling to be fooled, which made him a little anxious.

After thinking about it for a while, he stopped asking for advice and decided to solve it himself.

He said, "What does Your Highness think of the proposals of those merchants?"

Qin Shaoyou had almost no thoughts and said bluntly: "In less than three years, this case will definitely become a Lu Wen."

"Is that true?" Yang Jiong seemed very surprised: "This is obviously absurd Ru Wen. Where can anyone be punished for hard labor when they are idle? Your Highness joked."

Of course he didn't believe it, but Qin Shaoyou believed it deeply. He said lightly: "Nine out of ten local gentry are still living on rural farms. They have become accustomed to this kind of pastoral scattering, but the income of the farms is far from the same level as the interchangeable, so sooner or later, you will still become merchants. Of course, it is different from ordinary merchants, but those who do business always seek profits, haha... let's talk far."

Yang Jiong thought about it and gradually became acknowledged that many gentry people are doing business now, and even the Yang family cannot avoid the customs. Moreover, the market is very good now, and any business on the market can make a lot of money. Prices in various places are soaring, and the ending of the surge is even more unbearable for the gentry.

The gentry relied on the farm and made money slowly, and after suppressing the price of grain, they became even more like this. They finally made some money, but the price soared, and the money they had in their hands became more and more worthless. Moreover, bills of exchange had begun to be launched in the farm and began to be accepted.

The bill of exchange was launched by Shence Mansion. This was not Qin Shaoyou's idea, but it had reached a point where it was absolutely necessary.

In fact, there is only so much money minted by the court. If it is followed in the previous model, this will work. After all, the copper output of the court is only so high, and minting money also requires time and cost, which is very suitable for the self-sufficiency economic form. But the problem is that Mengjin's commercial activities are very prosperous. Moreover, the transaction volume of commercial transactions is also rising steadily. Some people even trade for one transaction, which is rare in other places. But how much is the money of thousands of guan? One thousand coins is one thousand coins, one thousand coins is one hundred thousand coins, and thousands coins are hundreds of thousands of copper coins. A big merchant often needs more than a dozen cars of money to conduct transactions. It takes several days to deliver, liquidate, and enter the warehouse.

This trading method has delayed too much time, especially for some merchants who have repurchased goods, it is simply fatal. You may think that the price of cloth may rise recently and want to buy a batch, but the transaction has not been completed, but the market has changed again.

This is true for merchants, and even more so for Shence Mansion. The daily shipments of Shence Mansion are extremely high. There may be only thousands of people producing tea, but there are as many as a hundred accountants in charge of transactions. Why? With such frequent transactions, almost everyone needs to count coins. From early to late, it is not only time-consuming and laborious.

So, some people began to change their methods and trade with gold, but gold also has disadvantages. On the one hand, the scales of this era are not very accurate. There are many errors between one or two gold and one or two gold, but this money is not a small amount, and the quality of gold is also different. In addition, the price of gold fluctuates greatly. Today, the money may always be one or two gold, but tomorrow it may become nine hundred coins. However, the Shence Mansion is at this critical moment and makes bills of exchange. For example, the Shence Mansion wants to purchase some raw materials and after taking the goods, it will issue a bill that is difficult to imitate, and it states the amount of money. When merchants want to withdraw money, they can all come to Shence Mansion to collect it.

After all, Shence Mansion has enough credibility, so the merchant is relieved to take the bill of exchange. If you keep it in your hand, you will naturally get it if you need money.

But gradually, some merchants began to trade with such bills of exchange released by Shence Mansion. After all, this thing can be withdrawn at any time from Shence Mansion, and the transaction is simple and fast. You only need to verify the authenticity.

Finally, bills of exchange became more and more popular, and even the money and grain room of Shence Mansion specially set up exchanges for money and bills of exchange, and began to vigorously improve the anti-counterfeiting level of bills of exchange, and began to consciously release bills of exchange.

And isn’t the bill of exchange not just using copper coins to ensure credit, but some of them are goods from Shence Mansion. This has led to the increasing number of bills on the market, which has long exceeded the amount of copper coins themselves.

In layman's terms of exchange in Shencefu belong to the currency of tea and cloth. It is not copper coins or gold or silver that are used as margin, but goods.

The emergence of bills of exchange has made money more rampant, which has made copper coins more valuable. The rich men of the gentry who had originally insisted on gold, silver or coins were even more uneasy. Money would depreciate, and the more popular the business behavior, the more powerful the money would depreciate. For example, cloth, which was only two cents of qian last month, but now it has risen to nearly three cents of qian. The property they guarded has shrunk unknowingly.

In other words, the previous model of saving money is gone forever. If you cannot let money be born, you will inevitably shrink your wealth.

The situation faced by the gentry is both an opportunity and a cruel reality.

This is also the reason why Qin Shaoyou dared to assert this way. If they refuse to take out the money, the final outcome will be a dead end.

Once these people invest a large amount of wealth in Mengjin, what is the difference between them and ordinary merchants? Their interests will naturally coincide with those of the merchants.

Qin Shaoyou talked a lot of gossip with Yang Jiong, but Yang Jiong benefited a lot. He looked at Qin Shaoyou and felt an illusion in his heart. Why did this guy have so many inexplicable thoughts?

While he was talking, someone hurried over and said, "Your Highness, someone is looking for Speaker Yang to speak, saying that he was a family member from Hongnong County."

Yang Jiong frowned, family?

What did this family come here to do?

He felt that this was rude, so he looked very bad, so he smiled at Qin Shaoyou awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, I will leave."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, but the people outside shouted: "What happened, something big happened. Hurry up, it won't be able to take a moment. I want to see my third uncle..."
