I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

There are still smart people among foreign merchants.

After selling nearly a hundred banknotes, they faintly felt that something was wrong. They all heard the news. How could those merchants of Tang Dynasty be so dull?
Someone slowed down the speed of selling, ready to take a look at the direction of the market.

They noticed that in just a few days, foreign merchants sold at least nearly [-] banknotes, but this huge sum of money fell into the market without making a sound, and was swallowed almost instantly Be clean.

It made them shudder.

Can the merchants of Datang achieve this level?

Of course, relying solely on the merchants of the Tang Dynasty would not be able to achieve this level—it was simply about the means of trade, or the size of the funds.

There are many merchants in foreign countries who are better than those in Datang.

The market turmoil this time was driven by Wu Jue. She noticed it on the first day, and then in the next few days.

Nearly half of the banknotes in the market were eaten by Wu Jue.

These banknotes can be exchanged for banknotes printed by Datang in equal amounts at that time.

It is also for this reason that Wu Jue has already prepared for the matter of the bank, and has communicated with the household department, so that he can put up a sign and start business at any time.

But nearly a month has passed, and the bank has not opened for business.

Wu Jue just stared at the market, plucking at the fleeces that had been sold.

Until now, only a few banknotes are sold sporadically a day, and the sheep have been squeezed out, so Wu Jue reluctantly gave up this market and prepared for the opening of the bank.

Early publicity is essential.

The magazine printed an advertisement for the bank, and on the front page, an academic paper by Wu Sui was published.

The content of the academic paper is about the banknote disturbance some time ago.

In this article, Wu Jue proposed the concept of "trust currency".

It is pointed out that the banknotes can be circulated not because of how many copper coins can be exchanged for a piece of banknotes, but because of everyone's trust in Zhengyang Gong, the banknotes can be circulated and used.

And this one thing.

It was because of the spread of some gossip that the trust of Zhengyang Gong with foreign merchants declined. They chose to sell at a low price to minimize losses as much as possible.

As for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, because their trust in Lord Zhengyang has not diminished in the slightest, they took the opportunity to take the bottom line.

The article did not state whether the behavior of Datang merchants made money or lost money.

But... Looking at the meaning between the lines in Wu Jue's words, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty undoubtedly made a lot of money.

What distressed foreign merchants the most was the advertisement in the magazine.

Qianzhuang!

A week later, Tongfu Bank will open in Dongshi and Xishi. People in Chang'an City can deposit money in the bank and hand it over to Tongfu Bank for safekeeping.

For demand deposits, the annual interest rate is three renminbi, that is to say, if you deposit your ten guan money in Tongfu Bank, you can withdraw ten guan [-] ren in the previous year.

Of course, it can be withdrawn if it is not saved enough for one year, and the interest will be calculated according to the time at that time.

For fixed deposits, the annual interest rate is 150 Wen. If you deposit [-] Guan in the bank for a fixed period of one year, you can withdraw [-] Wen after one year.

Although the money is a little less, it is better than nothing.

The people of Tang Dynasty counted one by one, and they all belonged to hamsters. Almost every penny they earned would be saved up, and it was all written in the plan when they planned to go to Tongfu Restaurant for a meal. .

If the money is kept at home, it will still eat ashes, maybe it will rust, and it may even be stolen.

But it’s different in Zhengyanggong’s bank, so you don’t have to worry about these problems—and you can make money with money, even if you make less money, it’s still money!

The people of Datang were very moved.

Foreign merchants glanced at it, and were very moved. After all, they had a large base of money, and it was a good choice to store it in a bank.

It's just that that's not what they're focusing on right now.

It's rather... the last sentence of the entire advertisement - all banknotes in circulation on the market can be exchanged for Sheng Yuanbao banknotes of the same amount after Sheng Yuanbao banknotes are printed and issued.

This made many foreign merchants suffer from myocardial infarction.

good guy...

It is equal to 95 Wen, and they sold 5.00 Wen, and the loss rate was as high as [-]%. The more they sold, the more they lost.

Looking back at the paper written by Wu Jue now, the lines are full of sarcasm.

Let you not trust Zhengyang Gong!

It makes you feel that copper coins will always keep their value!
Now you know the fate of not trusting Lord Zhengyang, right?
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were overjoyed, but everyone who participated in this matter made at least a dozen or so pennies.The happiest are of course those who earn more.

Wu Jue is the happiest person.

She is the one who earns the most, not only from a wave of foreign merchants, but also from banknotes.She has been thinking about it for a few days.

Since the banknotes can be exchanged in equal amounts for the printed Sheng Yuanbao banknotes, doesn't that mean... In fact, the banknotes in my hand are just extra wealth?

She tentatively asked if she could print and distribute some more banknotes, but the household department did not agree. After Wu Jue made this request, she sent a hundred people there.

In the future, he will guard those gambling houses.

They are very at ease with Yin Xuan, but they are very worried about the girl Wu Jue.

This made Wu Jue a little disappointed. He could not come out with more white wolves empty-handed. If it could still be printed, Wu Jue could make his own gambling shop rotate 24 hours a day until the imperial court stopped exchanging banknotes for Sheng Yuanbao banknotes.

The bank opened as scheduled.

Yin Xuan even showed his face in person, which made the people in Chang'an City even more crazy.

Mr. Zhengyang has come forward in person, so what problems can this bank have?
They are more and more eager to deposit their money in Tongfu Bank.

But... Chang'an City has two cities in the east and the west, and two banks in total. There are only eight windows in total, and it takes a few minutes to receive a person.

To make passbooks, keep files...

The above text and numbers cannot be handwritten, and must be made in advance with a seal.

After all, it is about money, and these things must be treated with caution.

It took eight days in a row before the bank received the people who came to line up one by one, and the workers at several windows were so tired that they could fall asleep lying on the table.

Wu Jue was very tired, but she was too excited to fall asleep.

During these eight days, a total of more than 8 customers have been received, of which there are more than 6 in Chang'an, and the remaining 2 are foreign merchants.

A total of more than 200 million yuan has been deposited in the bank - of course, this is not counting the income of Tongfu restaurants, the current demand is more than 100 million, and the time deposit is only more than 60.

It was, indeed, a huge sum of money.

She read these accounts over and over several times, and then reluctantly put them down, took the pen and paper, and began to write invitations.
