The happy life of a prodigal

It's not crazy, what is that?

What's more, how can a person who can sell more than 1 taels of silver for dividends be short of silver?

Since there is no shortage of money, why is she doing this?

The trader looked at Zhao Yan with puzzlement in his eyes.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and persuaded him: "Girl, now is the time for dividends to rise. His Royal Highness and An Guogong are masters and apprentices. The friendship between the two far exceeds that of monarchs and ministers. This dividend can go up for a while, you...don't you consider keeping some?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, hesitation appeared on her face.

She was still a little reconciled.

However, for some reason, she remembered the matter of Xiaying Shipyard again, and remembered many things. She gritted her teeth, stared at the trader with red eyes, and scolded angrily: "I said you still have It's endless! I said sell them all! Sell them all! Don't you understand?"

When the trader heard this, the expression on his face also became a little strange, and he muttered in his heart: A dog biting Lu Dongbin does not know a good heart!

He said lukewarmly: "Okay, then sell them all."

After a series of procedures, he handed out a bunch of banknotes.

"This is all the money you got after you sold it as a dividend. It's 320 to 150 seven coins in total. You must keep it. You will not be responsible for any problems after you leave this counter."

"Got it, it's really long-winded!"

Zhao Yan was in a bad mood, reached out to take the bank note, and muttered a few words.

When the trader heard this, he really wanted to argue with her, but then he thought about it, a little girl can come up with more than 1 taels of silver, her background must be extraordinary, and she is by no means something she can provoke.

So, also silent.

After Zhao Yan collected the money, she stood there? Watching the price of dividends on the exchange constantly changing? The expression on her face was also constantly changing.

She has started to regret it a little.

Will I sell it too early?

If you sell it later, maybe you can earn a lot of money!

She gritted her teeth and began to struggle. Should she buy some or not?

While she was struggling, not far away? A young man in a fancy dress was also staring at the change in the dividend price.

If the price of the dividends of these shops has increased? It is written in cinnabar.

If it falls? It is written in black ink.

In the past, in this exchange, cinnabar red and black were equally divided.

But in the past few days, it can be seen? At a glance? It's all cinnabar red, and there is almost no black.

In other words, the money in almost all shops is rising.

Among other things, there are some shops that cannot be maintained at all. At this moment, the exchange is still cinnabar red? Isn't this ridiculous?

Is this reasonable?

If this continues, won't there be any problems?

These shops are not worth so much silver? But they have been raised to such a high position in this exchange, among other things? Does Dachu have so much silver?

Even though Baolefang has printed so many banknotes, what if one day many people go to exchange the banknotes for silver at the same time?

This is not impossible... even in Zhang Wenbai's eyes? It is inevitable!

As long as the exchange is always rising, at a glance, it is all cinnabar red.

Well, this is bound to happen!

Because these shops are not worth so much money!

Zhang Wenbai stood where he was, with an uncertain expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

The people next to them were still frantically buying dividends, and everyone was extremely excited and excited.

But every little bit of money is exchanged for dividends, as if one day later, if you exchange for dividends, you will lose as much money as you want!

But Zhang Wenbai felt a chill all over his body.

As far as the present is concerned, the situation he imagined is in the not-too-distant future.

If such a situation really happened, the exchange would be the first to collapse. After the exchange collapsed, it would be Baolefang, then the bank notes, and then... the whole Dachu!

The family property of countless people for decades or hundreds of years will be reduced to ashes in an instant and disappear, just like a handful of sand sinking into a stream without even causing a wave.

How terrible is this situation!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenbai suddenly felt a creepy feeling. For a moment, he even felt that he couldn't breathe.

In the next second, he made a decision!

Sell ​​all dividends!Then change it all to silver!

If the situation I imagined really happened, then only silver is real!Everything else is fake!

Moreover, he had a hunch that the situation he imagined would not take long!

At that time, there will definitely be countless people who are disheartened and almost desperate... He doesn't want to be one of them.

So, he walked to the counter, looked at the trader, and said solemnly: "Sell all my dividends."

The trader was stunned when he heard this.

What's happening here?

Why is there another one to sell dividends?

It is enough to meet a fool today, why did I meet two in such a short time?

With the previous lesson, the trader didn't bother to say so much anymore, without raising his head, he asked directly: "Name."

"Zhang Wenbai."

Zhang Wenbai?

Hearing the name, the trader subconsciously looked up at Zhang Wenbai, with a look of surprise on his face.

As traders, they usually chat with some people.

He often heard about this text.

This person often writes some opinions about the exchange in Zhuxuanzhai's newspaper, which is very unique!

It can even be said that his eyes are like torches!

For this reason, there is even a section in Zhuxuanzhai's newspaper dedicated to him, which seems to be called Zhang Wenbai's column.

Many people come to the exchange for the first time and do nothing, so they will recommend those people to read Zhang Wenbai's column.

Not only that, he often went to the exchange to buy dividends by himself, and every time he bought dividends, he could earn silver!

Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, but so many times, every time you can earn money!

This is not an easy task, no!Not only is it not easy to describe!

He has been on the exchange for such a long time, bought so many dividends, and has never lost money. It seems that he is the only one in the entire Kyoto Prefecture!

Even if other people earn money, they may lose money next time, but this article has never happened.

It can be seen that he is powerful!

But now he actually told himself that he wanted to sell all the dividends?

This......

Is he crazy too?

The trader's face was in disbelief.

The first thousand and one hundred and forty-one chapters, the worried servant of the household department

For a while, the trader began to doubt his life.

If it's just that one girl who sells all the dividends, that's fine.

It can be explained that she doesn't understand anything, she doesn't know what so many dividends mean.

But... Zhang Wenbai has to sell all the dividends, which cannot be explained.

The trader had a thoughtful look on his face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure you want to sell all the dividends?"

The expression on Zhang Wenbai's face did not change at all, and he said very calmly: "Sure."

Hearing this, the trader took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Zhang Wenbai held the silver, stood where he was, and looked at the dividends of many shops on the exchange, looking worried.

Soon, he made a decision.

It is not enough to escape from here alone!

If this exchange is really as I imagined, the problem will be troublesome!The entire Great Chu will be in trouble!

Zhang Wenbai thinks that he has never been a person who cares about the dawn of the world.

But, anyway, he is also a child of a family, and his father is also the servant of the household department.

His fate is also closely linked with the Great Chu court, if there is a problem with the Great Chu court!

Then their family will also have problems!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and left the exchange with a solemn face.

Behind him, there was a burst of noise that never stopped.

"Buy me Zhang's cloth shop for 100 taels of silver!"

"I want to buy 500 taels of Linzefu Iron Mine!"

"320 taels of silver, all of which will be bought in the coal mines of Du Ming's mansion!"

............

Household Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Maoshi, the servant of the household department, was in the study, looking at the letter sent by his subordinates, his brows were furrowed, and he looked worried.

Because of the existence of Baolefang, many rules have been broken.

It turned out that the salt and iron were tightly held in the hands of the imperial court.

But because of the exchange, many state capitals put the salt mine and iron ore on the exchange and sold them for dividends because they had no silver.

When the household department found out, it was too late to stop it.

After all, the laws of the Great Chu did not stipulate that the dividends of salt and iron could not be sold.

Da Chu is indeed in control of Yantie, but it is still different from before.

[-]% of Yantie’s income is going to the Kyoto Prefecture, and the remaining [-]%? [-]% is given to the local state capital? [-]% is given to the salt and iron envoys in various places.

This process is also very complicated? First of all, the salt iron is mined by the state capitals of various places.

But the state capitals in various places are not qualified to sell? Instead, they have to be sent to the Ministry of Households. After the Ministry of Households has made statistics, it will be sent back to the salt and iron envoys in various places, who will sell them.

In this case? It will not cause the price of salt and iron to vary from place to place.

At the same time, there is also a state of checks and balances between the state capital and the Salt and Iron Envoy.

If the salt and iron envoys are unruly, the state government will not sit idly by.

If the state capital left Yantie behind, the Yantie envoy would not just sit idly by.

In the end, [-]% of the silver obtained from selling salt and iron was sent to the household department of Kyoto Prefecture? [-]% was kept by the salt and iron envoys?

The price of salt and iron is not fixed, sometimes it will be high, and sometimes it will be low.

If it is low, the state government can earn some money from it. What if it is low? Not to mention earning money, the cost of mining?

In short? There is risk.

It is precisely because of this that after the exchange appeared, many state governments put local salt and iron in the exchange to make up for the shortfall. Anyway, they still have [-]% of the dividends to dispose of.

However, in this way, the imperial court could no longer control the price of salt and iron.

If the price of salt and iron is high, the people in the exchange will benefit, and if the price of salt and iron is too low, everyone will be unlucky in the end!
