Chapter 174 Hot treasure coins!
Chapter 174 Hot treasure coins!
No one objected to the paper money issue.
The opening of the bank is also scheduled for the first day of April.
The first to open was the headquarters of Daming Royal Bank in Beijing.
After the headquarters is running smoothly, we will slowly open it to other cities in August and September.
Song Hai expects to complete the first phase of the overall construction of the two capitals and thirteen cities before the end of the year.
The opening is about to begin.
In the past few days, the people of the capital have seen a magical scene.
Song Hai and others gathered a total of 360 million taels of silver and pulled it from the city gate to the bank warehouse one by one.
Moreover, the money was not hidden at all, and all the boxes were flaunted on the streets of the capital with their lids open.
Almost all the people saw the silver being transported into the bank's underground warehouse!
For this bank...
The people in the capital already knew the significance of its existence years ago.
But most people are still in awe of this thing.
After all, what happened to the treasure banknotes issued in Hongwu Year.
Even if the newspapers are promoting it every day, they say that they will adopt the silver standard.
Bind the amount of currency issued and the amount of silver deposited.
But most people don't understand this at all, and many people still prefer heavy amounts of money.
But now, seeing those big businessmen pulling truckloads of money into the bank, some people are doubting their decision.
Everyone knows that businessmen pursue profits.
If banks are risky, they will certainly not be so supportive.
Is this bank really different?
In fact, compared to the convenience brought by banknotes, most people are more interested in what the emperor said about deposit money.
Most people don't have two taels of silver in their hands, and there is not much difference between banknotes and silver taels.
On the contrary, it is easier to impress them by saving money for interest.
No one cares that the money in their hands can make money.
For a time, many uninterested people were considering whether to deposit their money in the bank.
And here it is, April [-]st!
Early this morning, there was a crackling explosion at the door of the bank headquarters.
Dozens of red firecrackers exploded, startling countless birds around.
After the firecrackers were set off, a palace eunuch carefully placed a bright yellow dragon flag at the entrance of the Royal Bank.
Then he took out the imperial edict and read it to the people.
"Follow the heavens and carry the emperor's edict!"
"Daming Royal Bank is officially open for business today!"
"I issue Chongzhen treasure coins today in the name of the royal family!"
"This move is for the benefit of the world."
"Anyone who holds treasure coins can withdraw an equal amount of silver at any bank in the Ming Dynasty."
"Anyone who dares not to exchange the money, or is greedy for ink, will be punished by me and the other three tribes!"
"Kin this!"
Wait until the edict is read out.
The bank door that was originally closed slowly opened!
With a dull sound, all twelve doors that could accommodate dozens of people entering and exiting opened.
Many people around who were watching the show couldn't help but walk towards the bank.
But as soon as he got closer, he was stopped by Jin Yiwei.
Considering that many people would come to visit today, Tian Ergeng had already ordered Jin Yiwei to go there to limit the flow.
As long as everyone goes in, nothing will happen.
Not long after, the first batch of fifty people were put into the hall.
Stepping on the solid wood floor under your feet, you look at the brilliant and majestic circular space.
These people are all a little timid...
"Welcome to Royal Bank."
"Please go to the left for deposits and the right for exchanges."
"If you want to visit, you have 3 minutes to visit."
Just as they were shrinking their necks and looking around curiously.
Twenty beautifully dressed young ladies came out to welcome him.
These are the maids Zhu Youjian selected from the palace.
As they are good at service, they naturally fit into this field.
Not to mention that Zhu Youjian gave them extremely high welfare benefits.
After just ten days of training, they have mastered all service instructions.
At this time, they had already followed the training and walked towards the fifty people with smiles.
Guide them to special counters to handle relevant business.
"I'll go! Did I see it wrong?"
"Is this the treasure coin?"
"Oh my god, is this Liuli?"
"It's still changing color? My eyes are going to go blind!"
Many of these 50 people came to watch the fun.
There were also a dozen people ready to exchange some banknotes.
Most of them are people in the army, and they have all kinds of trust in Zhu Youjian.
Of course, they didn't change much, basically half a liang or a liang, which was considered as support.
result...
When this treasure coin was exchanged into their hands, they were almost blinded!
This is too gorgeous!
Especially the half-liang treasure coins have Chongzhen's portrait on them.
I was so scared that they didn't throw the money on the ground!
Fortunately, after the maids around them repeatedly assured that there would be no trouble with these banknotes, they tremblingly put them away.
He was even more careful with his movements, for fear of getting bumped.
After they finished the exchange and left the bank, they were soon surrounded by people watching the excitement outside and asked about the situation.
At this time, some people who had exchanged currency couldn't help but show the banknotes in their hands.
Looking at the irregularly colored banknotes reflecting in the sunlight, the gasps of air-conditioning from all around never stopped!
You call this paper money? !
It is said that the temperature throughout the capital rose several degrees that day.
The reason is because everyone has exhausted the air conditioning.
Until noon, the number of people queuing in front of the bank was not less but more.
Many people who received the news and had some money left in their hands almost wanted to exchange one and a half taels of Chongzhen treasure coins to take home!
This is a legal possession of the emperor’s portrait, who wouldn’t want it!
Not to mention Zhu Youjian's increasingly terrifying prestige among the people.
It's only half a tael, and none of the men in the capital have any spare money.
-------------------------
"Your Majesty! I'm so happy!"
"Song Hai came to report that today the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty exchanged a total of 430 million taels of silver."
"Among them, [-] taels of large notes have been sold out, and half a tael of small notes have also been exchanged."
"Song Hai hopes to get another batch of half-a-tael bills immediately. People who want it in the entire capital are still squatting in front of the bank!"
In the side hall, Wang Daman rushed in with a gust of wind.
Zhu Youjian, who was still a little nervous at first, laughed twice after hearing the news from Song Hai.
good good!
He earned 400 million in silver in just one day, and all he paid was some colorful bills.
This money-gathering ability is really terrifying!
"By the way, no one wants Grandpa Cheng's tickets?"
After laughing several times, Zhu Youjian suppressed his joy and asked with some doubts.
Why didn't you hear about the thousand-dollar bill?
"This.."
"It seems that Grandpa Cheng's notes can't be exchanged."
"It seems that those who have the ability are all looking for [-]-yuan bills, and the rest are concentrated on small-denomination coins of [-] yuan and below."
Wang Daban's face looked a little embarrassed at this time.
It can’t be said that no one has changed, but compared with the popularity of Banliang and Wanliang, it is really far behind...
"Tsk..."
"How could you neglect Grandpa Cheng like this!"
"Send the order and ask Song Hai and the others to exchange some more thousand taels of banknotes!"
Zhu Youjian rolled his eyes when he heard this.
These businessmen...
You just know how to pick the rare ones, right?
My grandpa Cheng is shameless?
Too much!
