Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 581 The copper coin business that profiteer Shen Wansan won’t lose money on
Suzhou is also called "Gusu". There is a secret cave in Suzhou, which makes Zhang Wuji feel a little familiar.I seem to have heard of it somewhere.

But now he also noticed a practical problem, that is, the money was in Suzhou city.

It is not difficult for him and his men to sneak into Suzhou City. If it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, with their extreme masters, they can take it all with just a little on their backs.

But these millions of taels of silver, even if they were pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, would probably need to be loaded into a lot of cars.And if it was known that the Su family was so rich, not to mention Zhang Shicheng would seize the money, even other people in Suzhou City would be jealous.

Zhang Wuji murmured: "This money is in Suzhou City. If you want to get the money, you have to kill Zhang Shicheng first?"

Su Mengqing said at this time: "Yes. I think this is not difficult for Wuji with your current strength. Moreover, Suzhou is a place with abundant money and food, and there are many wealthy businessmen. In addition to the 500 million taels of gold and silver from our Su family. Suzhou There are nearly ten million copper coins hidden in the city."

Hearing the news, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but widen his eyes. He asked, "Oh? How did Sister Su know the news?"

Su Mengqing wiped away her tears at this time, sat back at the table, and then continued to make tea.

Huo Jia and Su Mengqing met each other very late. Huo Jia was proficient in tea ceremony, but Su Mengqing was even more proficient than her.

The only difference between the two is that Huo Jia is proficient in the tea ceremony of the old Tang Dynasty.During the Tang Dynasty, the tea culture from China was also spread to Persia.That's how Hogar learned it.

But Su Mengqing is a girl from Jiangnan who likes tea the most.Huogan's tricks, in front of her, is like a trick.

Su Mengqing poured a cup of tea for Zhang Wuji and said, "Sit down and let's talk slowly."

Zhang Wuji then sat in front of Su Mengqing. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said, "Good tea, good tea!"

Zhang Wuji naturally didn't know anything about tea ceremony, and when he took the tea into his mouth, he only tasted a bitter taste and couldn't really taste the "fragrance".What he said was just arty.

Su Mengqing said: "Those copper coins were purchased by Shen Wansan. I also heard about this from friends in the martial arts world. I used to be philanthropic and attracted many people from various religions. You must know that shopping malls are like battlefields. To be a A successful businessman must keep abreast of the trends of all parties. Therefore, intelligence is very important. It is like an invisible network that pulls everyone in inadvertently."

Zhang Wuji's pupils trembled when he heard this, and he felt that he might have underestimated the woman in front of him.

Su Mengqing's current status, if placed in Water Margin, would definitely be "Rain Song Jiang in time".

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it would be "Shan Xiongxin", the leader of the nine provinces in the Green Forest.

If she were placed in a certain popular anime, she would be the leader who infiltrated all-pervasive organizations in the Six Nations.

It's just that Su Mengqing's layout is a bit small, and she accommodates so many people.Turns out he was just here to inquire about his own business.What a waste of such a good resource.The news that Shen Wansan hid the copper coins came from a Qinhuai singer who had been sponsored by Su Mengqing from the steward of the Shen Mansion.

Su Mengqing said: "Before the rebels captured Jianghuai, Shen Wansan sent people to spread rumors that all the copper coins of the Old Yuan Dynasty would be invalidated. The new coins of the New Dynasty, which are half copper and half lead, will not replace the old coins of the Great Yuan Dynasty's copper, four and six lead. If The exchange rate is one for three, and one for four. There are even rumors that it is one for five or six."

"After the people heard the news, they were very panicked. They were afraid that their few remaining properties would shrink. So they sold off the copper coins in their hands and exchanged them for silver. Originally, according to the official system, one tael of silver could be exchanged for money, that is, One thousand copper coins.”

"But because the people were so frightened by this rumor, the price of copper coins fell sharply. In the end, one tael of silver was exchanged for two thousand coins, or even coins. Taking advantage of the low price of copper coins, , Shen Wansan sent people to secretly collect most of the copper coins in the three provinces of Jiangnan. There have been no famines in the Jiangnan provinces in these years, and the Shen family’s appetite has swallowed at least nearly million copper coins."

Zhang Wuji couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.He was very angry at the moment, although it was not a shameful behavior for a merchant to hoard goods.

But Shen Wansan's move is no longer a commercial competition, but a harm to the people.The people believed these rumors and threw away their property and exchanged it for money.In just an instant, his family fortune shrank by half.

Shen Wansan's move was faster than the bandits stealing money.Those who sell bread for 50 gold marks must be admired.

Zhang Wuji asked: "I remember Zhang Shicheng has been entrenched in Jianghuai for several years. Didn't the people realize that this was a scam?"

Su Mengqing replied: "Of course not, because there are less copper coins on the market. And Zhang Shicheng does not have enough copper mines to mint too much new coins. Therefore, the price of Zhou Wang Tongbao has naturally gone up. Some people even feel lucky to themselves. I believed this rumor and exchanged my old money for silver.”

Zhang Wuji said: "Oh! I understand! It is precisely because there are fewer copper coins and new coins are more expensive, that the difference in the price of making and exchanging coins is made up, so this lie has been made up."

Su Mengqing looked at Zhang Wuji's half-understanding look, and continued to explain: "That's right. Originally, the new dynasty was unstable, and there wasn't much time to mine copper mines to make coins. If the emperor issues new coins, then he can only collect the former ones. To replace the old money with new money, and to melt the old money into new money, and gradually replace all the old money.”

"This is also the business opportunity where Shen Wansan hoards goods. He buys copper coins at a price of one tael of silver for two thousand cents, or one thousand five hundred cents."

"When the new dynasty is established and the government exchanges the old money for the new, he can exchange the old money in his hand to the government at the price of one thousand yuan for one tael of silver. In this way, his profit will be Double. Even if every tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand one, one thousand two, he can still make a profit. If you are lucky, this is a % profit."

Zhang Wuji's face looked a little ugly, and he held his hands tightly under his dragon robe. He then asked: "Then he hasn't sold the money yet. He is probably waiting to see who will win in this world?"

Su Mengqing nodded and said: "Yes. What he is waiting for now is the stability of the world. In the future, whether the rebel army or the Yuan army wins, he will not lose on this deal. If Wuji, you or other princes win the world , then it is necessary to mint new money, and he can get % of the profit by taking out the money."

"And if the Yuan army suppresses the 'rebellions' in various places and takes control of the artifact again, then his money can still be circulated and used. Then the profit he makes will still be %. He will even be exempted from the need to melt and mint new money. trouble."

"But if the copper coins in his hand are not needed after the new dynasty is established, then it doesn't matter. He bought the copper coins at a very low price. He can melt the copper coins in his hand into copperware and sell them. Although the profit is not as great as the two methods, I estimate that I can still make a profit of to %. This business is still profitable."
