Chapter 603 Donglin Jiangnan Silver Number (Part 2)
In the evening, the water was too cold to hold a banquet in the inner hall behind the garden. He invited Li Guodong to drink alone, and two beautiful maids stood next to him to serve him.
Han Dashan and others who were waiting outside also made arrangements. Shui Tailiang found a house for them to rest in the town and also brought them a few tables of wine and food.
"My uncle just said that in the future, we will find the amount of money we have, so customers can exchange real money at any time. In this way, the money and silver notes are not different from silver notes?" Shui Tailiang took a sip of wine, put down his glass and said. He thought a lot just now, and suddenly thought of this question.
The beautiful maid hurriedly walked forward with a wine pot and filled the cup that was too cold to the water.
Li Guodong laughed and said, "This is very simple. Mr. Qian, we cannot just look at the present moment, but the future. If there are too many goods circulating in the future, relying solely on gold and silver will definitely not be able to circulate. At that time, the money shop can announce that it will no longer exchange gold and silver for equal amounts. Of course, it is okay to exchange it, and the banknotes will definitely depreciate. For example, if a piece of money could be exchanged for one tael of silver, it may be ten yuan or even one hundred yuan in the future, and it will only be exchanged for one tael of silver. At that time, we have the final say on how much we want to print it?"
"Things to come seem to be too far away."
"It's very far away, but after the money shop opened, we were rolling in silver." Li Guodong smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The beautiful maid hurried forward and filled Li Guodong's wine glass. Another beautiful maid came forward and stood behind him, gently pounding his back and pinching his shoulders.
"Mr. Li talks with Mr. Qian, so there is no need to bother the girl. You go and stand behind." Li Guodong said, gently patting the beautiful maid's delicate little hand.
The little beauty said shyly: "My uncle has worked hard in the state, thank you for your hard work."
Shui Tailiang asked, "Wuweibo, have you ever thought about the name of this money house?"
"Just call it Donglin Jiangnan Money House." Li Guodong said with a smile.
"No, no!" Shui Tailiang shook his head repeatedly, "Donglin Academy is a gentleman's name, how can it be glued to the smell of copper? Money house is a profitable move by merchants. How can one name the money house after Donglin? It's inappropriate."
Li Guodong laughed: "Don't the Donglin Party receives support from merchants to be able to do today? Why can't this name be used? Not to mention Donglin scholars, even the imperial officials, many people have opened shops or used their power to facilitate merchants. This matter is known to everyone in the world, but only His Majesty the Emperor does not know."
"Hey!" Shui Tailiang sighed, "Although you know and I know about the businessman's support for the scholars, this thing really cannot be put on the surface. You know, you know that many court officials have opened shops, but these things cannot be said openly. If they are put on the surface, it would be a disgrace to be gentle."
Li Guodong smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, Li just drank too much, just kidding. Actually, it's called Jiangnan Bank, what's the name?"
“This name is available.”
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Guodong felt a little tired, so he bowed to the water too cold: "Mr. Qian, Li is tired from traveling, it's getting late, and I have to walk around nearby tomorrow, so I'll have to rest early."
Shui Tailiang hurriedly said, "It just so happens that I will go out for a walk tomorrow, visit the famous scholars of major families in Jiangnan, and also contribute to this matter. Then let's take a break early."
When Qian Qianyi stood up, he gave a wink to the two beautiful maids. The two girls hurriedly supported Li Guodong, who was a little drunk, and walked towards the guest room arranged by the water too cold.
When he arrived at the bedroom, two beautiful maids helped Li Guodong remove their coats, but he did not let the two beautiful maids serve him. After all, he was too tired and drank a lot of wine, so he really had no strength. But to be honest, the two beautiful maids were pretty pretty, but they were not as good as Liu Rushi. Thinking of Liu Rushi, Li Guodong said in his heart: The water is too cold, I am really sorry, Miss Liu and you will never have a chance.
Li Guodong lay on the bed and recalled the various deeds of the Donglin Party. It was right that the Donglin Party ruined the country, but then again, although the Donglin Party ruined the country, they were actually born at the wrong time. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty entering the pass, even if the Nanming could be preserved, the Donglin Party representing the textile industry, tea and maritime groups might have evolved into China's first capitalist party. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, interrupting the historical process and dragging Jiangnan, which was about to enter capitalism, back to the slave society.
What Li Guodong has to do at present is to give another push to the Donglin Party and the textile industry and merchant group they represent and speed up their entry into capitalism.
As for the Donglin Party’s mistake, it was also the Chongzhen country. What does it have to do with it? Anyway, the Ming Dynasty, an old store that is almost three hundred years old, is about to go bankrupt. The Donglin Party’s mistaken country only accounts for a small part of it. The problems facing the Ming Dynasty are also vassal kings, military households, nobles and gentry in the north. All kinds of problems are very serious, just like a terminally ill patient, with many serious illnesses, and all of them are deadly terminal illnesses. There is no solution. Only by pushing everything back and establishing a new dynasty can China be saved.
Li Guodong, who was a little drunk, fell asleep in a drowsy way. This sleep was particularly sweet, and it was already dawn when he woke up.
Shui Tailiang went out early in the morning. The matter of opening the largest money house in Jiangnan can be said to be a future money-making tool. Shui Tailiang must not ignore it. Of course, this shareholder of Jiangnan Bank naturally cannot use the name Qian Qianyi. He would find a family member to put the shareholders on his family. In fact, the gentry officials at that time did this. They opened shops and engaged in business, but would not use their own names, but instead found someone who could trust to name them.
Qian Qianyi went out to walk and took several days to come back. Within these days, Li Guodong took Han Dashan and others to walk around Changshu, Changzhou, Suzhou and other places, visiting the fields designed by him and transformed by the engineering team.
When I walked to a farm, I saw farmers driving the buffaloes to cultivate in the paddy fields. The new plow led by three buffaloes was the new plow designed by Li Guodong. The three buffaloes worked hard at the same time, and a row of plows were plowed, and a large area of fields could be plowed soon. On the high ground, a farmer was busy in the mulberry forest, picking spring tea and mulberry leaves. It seemed that this three-dimensional farm not only increased the yield of mulberry leaves and tea, but also allowed the grain in Jiangnan to be self-sufficient.
Since the Jiangnan changed rice fields to mulberry tea, the grain output in Jiangnan has been seriously insufficient, and grain needs to be purchased from Huguang. However, Li Guodong designed this new farm so that those fields that are not suitable for planting tea forests and mulberry forests can be restored to plant rice, because of the nourishment of silkworm manure, pig manure and pond silt, the rice yield has also increased a lot.
An old farmer sat in the seat of a new type plow, waving his whip to drive away the buffalo. This new type of paddy field plow is very labor-saving and has improved the efficiency much. After the old farmer finished a piece of land, he drove the buffalo to the side, stood under the mulberry tree, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit it, and took a few mouthfuls happily.
"This old man, has spring plowing started this year?" Li Guodong asked.
"Young master, you have a good temperament. It seems that you are not a local, right?" The old farmer looked at Li Guodong in white, dressed in gorgeous clothes and hung a jade pendant. He looked at the appearance of a rich man. When he looked at the strong men behind Li Guodong, he knew that this person must be not simple.
Han Dashan roared: "We Wuweibo has arrived, the bold village man, how dare you be rude!"
The old farmer was startled and knelt down quickly: "I don't know if it's Wu Wei Bo coming! I'm rude! I'll forgive you!"
"Old man, get up quickly." Li Guodongxu helped him.
