Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 72 Some people are happy and some are sad

In fact, when Zhao Guangmei secretly shipped goods before, Sun Liancheng's heart was trembling. He had sold millions of dollars one after another. However, with such a large shipment volume, the price in Kaifeng City could still be maintained. Come on, who knows how much money was mobilized.

And when these copper coins were redeemed one after another, Sun Liancheng couldn't help but sigh: "Why are these grandsons so rich?"

He used to be a top businessman in Kaifeng City. He thought he was rich enough, but now he realizes how big the world is.

So much so that when Zhao Guangmei wanted to sell out the remaining less than 100 million, Sun Liancheng was a little reluctant to part with it.

Of course, there is still no discount in execution.

One million guan of copper coins were piled directly into a mountain of copper and placed on the square. One tael of silver was exchanged as usual, and they were exchanged as soon as they came. The purchase limit was only 100 taels of silver per person at a time.

Copper coins here are often exchanged for one tael, and three hundred for them on the black market. All the merchants in Kaifeng City went crazy, and they came to exchange money frantically. And soon, all the merchants in the east and west of Beijing came to exchange money. I came from nearby to exchange money.

Seeing that the copper coins here are so cheap, those in Kaifeng City who really still have a large amount of copper coins can only be anxious.

Who else can afford a large amount of cash to collect it?

Not only that, in just a few days, the copper coins sent from the Southern Tang Dynasty also arrived one after another. These were supposed to be transported by the imperial army, but Zhao Guangmei specially hired Ji Li river workers to send them box by box to the treasury. Go for luck.

Then at night when no one was around, they arranged for the Imperial Guard to move the copper coins out of the treasury, secretly transport them to the ship, and then transport them from the ship to the treasury during the next day, and so on.

The common people didn't know what was going on, so they felt that there was no end to the Nanqian coming from the river. No matter how they were transported, they couldn't finish it. Box after box, boat after boat, the money bank seemed to be a piece of money. Just like a sponge that absorbs water, it absorbs as much as it absorbs.

In addition, the official newspaper also said that Li Yu has indeed admitted this coward, and 1000 million yuan was shipped just like this. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but later on, it turned out that so much money had been transported for so many days. , this seems to be more than 1000 million!
At this juncture, Zhao Guangmei's Nanqian money had been exchanged out, but those monkey-like businessmen suddenly covered their wallets and started to wait and see.

After this wait and see, the high-ranking Nanqian immediately couldn't hold it anymore, and the nearby merchants got this cheap Nanqian in exchange, which really solved their urgent need. Soon, there was no circulation at all on the market. The southern money was circulated again.

"Sir, sir, things are not going well. Sir, the price has been reduced, and it has been reduced again. Our money cannot be exchanged for less than one thousand."

It's still the small courtyard, it's still the old man, but he still has no grace at this time. His hair is disheveled, his eyes are dark and red, and the originally plump face has gradually become sunken.

Hearing this, he still pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic, this must be Zhao Guangmei's bluff. Can he deceive me? Where did Nan Tang get 1000 million in cash to give him? Nan Tang It's impossible to find 1000 million copper coins in your own treasury. Is Li Jing sick? He saved so many copper coins?"

"It's fake. It must be fake. It's just to scare us. I've already written a letter to the officials to buy another batch. As long as I buy the last batch, I will be able to buy up all the money in the market. There is still hope. , even if the current high position cannot be maintained, seven hundred, no, eight hundred cents and a tael will definitely not be a problem. Even if we pay compensation, we should not be able to pay much, not much."

"Sir, sir, sorry sir, Sunji Trading Company has started selling copper coins."

"Sun Kee Trading Company? They...aren't they selling seafood? Behind them is...Nan Han? Come on, take me to see, how much do they throw?"

"One thousand and two, just throw away one thousand and two, and you may not be able to sell it. No one will exchange it with them." "What?"

With a pop, the old man suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Nanhan, we are about to withdraw!

After all, copper coins are small change that is only used in private circulation. Normally, top merchants and princes from all over the world would not transport copper coins stupidly. For long-distance transportation, they would definitely exchange gold and silver for gold and silver as much as possible.

This is true for the Southern Han Dynasty, but their situation is actually much worse than that of the Southern Han Dynasty, because the Southern Han Dynasty is still very confident in doing business in Kaifeng. After all, the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty are not bordering on each other, and there is no hostile relationship between the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. Wu Yue was on good terms with Wu Yue, and Wu Yue was on good terms with the Northern Song Dynasty. Qian Chu was even personally awarded the title of Generalissimo of the World's Military and Horses by Zhao Kuangyin.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty would not embarrass the merchants of the Southern Han Dynasty. After all, the Southern Han Dynasty was founded on commerce and opened up sea trade. Every year, countless overseas treasures were shipped to Kaifeng for sale. These things were also urgently needed by the powerful people of the Song Dynasty. , everyone is happy to cooperate. At least until the Song Dynasty destroyed Hunan and joined the Southern Han Dynasty, this hostile relationship can be established, right?

Houshu does not have such conditions. The two families have deployed heavy troops to fight in the Guanzhong area. They have to do everything secretly and fish in troubled waters. When transporting copper coins, they can only transport them little by little on a small scale and transport them on a large scale. If it cannot be exchanged for gold and silver, it will have to be transported by the army.

But now, where can they go to exchange for gold and silver?
"Shu money, what's going on with Shu money now, how much is it worth in exchange for Song money?"

"This...sir, Shu money, no one has any use for it, and Song money, it's two for one now."

"Two for one? Increased?"

"It's two for one... iron money. It takes two Shu coins to exchange for one Song Dynasty iron coin. It's equivalent to twenty Shu coins to exchange for one Song copper coin."

"I...I...our Shu money is not pure iron, isn't it?"

As he said that, the old man rolled his eyes and fainted in an instant.

"Sir, sir, wake up, sir, wake up quickly."

But he saw another person suddenly take off his clothes and cover the old man's head suddenly.

"Ah, you...what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"After losing so much money this time, can we still go back? Why not kill him? Let's pretend to pass on his orders, divide the money, and find a way to get our family members out of Shu. Maybe, He can still stay in Kaifeng and become a rich man. If this person lives, we will die, and our whole family will die."

"This……"

For a moment, the people in the courtyard looked at each other. Immediately, all kinds of people swarmed up, pressed the old man under them, and covered him to death.
