I am the king of the dead

Li Xian looked at Xu Chengzong's back, smiled and sat up straight.

There is no need to worry about the issue of tung oil, because besides coal, Yunnan copper, panax notoginseng powder, gold and wood, there is another special product of Yunnan and Guizhou, that is, tung oil.

There are a lot of tung trees in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, and the tung fruit grows on the trees. The people in Yunnan and Guizhou can squeeze tung oil, but the traffic in the past is inconvenient, and the tung oil cannot go out at all.

The dredging of the [-]-mile waterway is imminent.

If "people" are lightened and materialized, then what Xu Chengzong said can be clearly understood.

Abnormal female households, Tongyuan, and bristles are all means of labor. They hold the means of labor firmly in their hands, so they have no fear.

How to break the monopoly on the means of labor is not difficult for Li Xian, His Majesty has already demonstrated it.

Li Xian stood up, ready to go to Longjiang Shipyard to see it in person.

Say one thousand, say ten thousand, it is better to take one step and come down to earth.

Li Xian's ostentation was huge, Jin Yiwei led the way wherever he went, and a group of people rushed towards the old site of Longjiang Shipyard at high speed.

At this time, Henglin Fei's family and Fei Ying, the general manager of Zhejiang maritime merchants, came to the gate of Baoyuan Bureau.

He is going to save money.

After Fei Yiying showed his badge, he found Sun Bingfu, the director of Baoyuan Bureau. Sun Bingfu had lost weight, but he was still very lucky.

Sun Bingfu is teaching apprentices how to measure fineness with the watertight method.

Sun Bingfu weighed a pile of silver in his hand and said: "Look at the scale, put gold flower silver or silver material into the water, every time the water rises by one scale, the gold flower silver is two taels."

"I have some silver nuggets in my hand, which are just full for a moment, but only one or two or four coins, which proves that the pile of silver nuggets is [-]% silver."

"Then he can't ask for it. Let him find a way to melt the gold flower and silver, or it can be cast directly at the Baoyuan Bureau."

The principle is actually very simple, that is to use density to measure its approximate fineness, which is not accurate.

Therefore, Baoyuan Bureau only accepts gold flowers and silver.

An apprentice raised his hand and asked: "Master, what if someone pours lead? Does this method make the test inaccurate?"

Sun Bingfu nodded repeatedly and said, "Good question."

Lead is heavier than silver, so filling lead is almost the first choice for counterfeiting silver ingots.

Sun Bingfu took out a needle, which was very thick, and it was a special silver testing needle. He said with a smile: "Silver is actually very soft, and it can be pierced with this kind of silver needle. If it is halfway through, it will not move. "

"Then change the hammer, because it is a secondary lead casting, and it will crack when it is struck."

The apprentice suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Baoyuan Bureau had a hammer, and that's the thing about feelings.

When Sun Bingfu was on duty at Beijing Baoyuan Bureau, he was caught by His Majesty lying on a rattan chair and playing with birds.

He wanted to do something, but he couldn't do it. All his abilities must be useful, right?

He continued to explain the method of identifying the fineness of silver nudes until the get out of class was over.

When he finished his work, he saw Fei Yiying, and finally said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Fei Shang! What kind of wind has brought you here, come and see tea, watch tea!"

Fei Yiying was helpless, he had dealt with this Sun Bingfu several times, and this guy was just blind to money.

Sun Bingfu is not greedy for money, but seeing the eyes of these business owners is like seeing a big fat pig.

To pluck the bristles, you have to feed some distiller's grains first, to earn money from the merchant, and give him a good cup of tea first.

Sun Bingfu's bowl of tea is not so delicious.

"Boss Sun, I have a matter. Is it true that Nanjing Baoyuan Bureau pays interest?" Fei Yiying asked a little strangely.

"There must be." Sun Bingfu explained the policy carefully.

Fei Yiying still hesitated and said: "Songjiang City Shipping Department, Mizhou City Shipping Department and Yuegang Xuanwei Department all have Baoyuan Bureau, can they also accept it?"

Fei also asked a key question.

If it can only be accepted in Nanjing, it is meaningless.

Sun Bingfu smiled and said, "That's natural."

Fei Yiying's eyes lit up, he moved closer and asked, "Is there no one saving money yet?"

"No." Sun Bingfu said with a smile full of blessings: "Isn't this what Fei Shang always looks forward to?"

Fei Yiying was a little embarrassed and said, "Can I see the bank? I'm a little worried."

"It's easy to say." Sun Bingfu brought Fei Yiying to the bank of Baoyuan Bureau.

This is actually against the system, but Fei Yiying is a big accountant. At the beginning of the establishment of the Baoyuan Bureau, exchanging silver coins was to take advantage of the large accountant. Therefore, the large accountant should see where they put their silver coins, whether it is safe or not is the right thing to do.

His Majesty gave Sun Bingfu three months of authority to facilitate Sun Bingfu's absorption of reserves.

Fei Yiying followed Sun Bingfu to the bank, only to find that this was actually the high wall where the concubine lived before. Inside the three-foot-high wall, there was only a thick and heavy door.

The gate opened slowly, and there were thick iron fences inside. After leaving the gate, it was not a silver vault, but a narrow passage.

"You need to change your clothes, and all personal belongings cannot enter the bank." Sun Bingfu explained and took off his clothes.

After being searched by Jin Yiwei, he changed his clothes in the inner room and entered the bank.

Inside the silver vault were rows of sandalwood boxes. Sun Bingfu opened a box, which contained silver coins wrapped in red silk oilcloth.

Sun Bingfu said with a smile: "The high wall is heavily guarded, and Fei Shang must have heard of it."

Fei Yiying said dumbfounded, "That's...of course I've heard of it."

When Emperor Taizong Wen set up the high wall, Zhu Wengui, the youngest son of the deposed emperor Zhu Yunqi, was shut in. No one in the world knows that the high wall is heavily guarded.

It is more fortified than the palace.

After Zhu Wengui was released, this place was remodeled by His Majesty to be used as a treasury, which Fei Yiying never expected.

"Any questions?" Sun Bingfu said with a smile.

Fei Yiying immediately shook his head and said, "Not anymore."

Fei Yiying followed Sun Bingfu back to the Baoyuan Bureau, and Fei Yiying finally said, "I have not only silver coins, but also golden flowers and silver. Can I exchange them for silver notes?"

Sun Bingfu shook his head and said, "If you exchange silver notes for silver notes, you can't do it if you want to exchange silver coins. You can only exchange silver coins. I have to tell you in advance."

Fei Yiying nodded again and again and said, "Well, it's better to exchange for silver coins."

Since His Majesty used strong means to pass the imperial silver coins in Nan Ya, and saw the convenience of silver coins, the merchants in Nan Ya couldn't do without them anymore.

It would be best to exchange for silver coins.

"I deposit 60 silver coins and 240 million taels of silver." Fei Yiying said.

Sun Bingfu blinked his eyes. He knew that Fei Yiying had more than 50 silver coins, but he was still a little surprised by so much silver.

Fei Yiying explained: "It's like this. I'm the head of Zhejiang merchants. All my money belongs to Zhejiang merchants, not my own."

"I trust the court."

Fei Yiying had surrendered long ago.

When meeting such a majesty, it is best to cooperate.

Resist ass!

Rebellion comes and goes, and in the end, the whole family is involved. If you don't tell your majesty a joke, won't this delay making money?

Fei Yiying said worriedly: "Actually, the only thing I am worried about is whether this banknote will become a treasure of Ming Dynasty."

Sun Bingfu shook his head and said, "No, bank notes are not precious money."

Daming banknotes are the currency issued by the imperial court, and they are banknotes, while silver notes are silver notes that only receive one tael of silver or one silver coin before issuing one silver coin.

One is banknotes and the other is a certificate of deposit, which have completely different meanings.

The banknotes sent to Japan are paper banknotes.

"As long as it can be paid." Fei Yiying stood up and said, "The silver will be delivered today."

If silver is kept at home, it will not grow silver, and it will be stolen.

There are many maritime merchants in Zhejiang, and he is the general manager of maritime merchants. He travels between Mizhou, Yuegang, Nanjing, Songjiang, and Jingshi, and does a lot of business.

Every time the silver coins are used for settlement, it is a headache just to transport the silver back and forth.

Seeing Fei Yiying leaving, Sun Bingfu could only sigh with emotion that His Majesty really does not cheat the poor.

Fei Yiying's silver carts began to enter the city, with a total price of 400 million silver coins. A total of 5 carts were loaded, and each cart was about [-] taels, which were sent to the silver treasury.

Fei Yiyi distributed the silver notes to all the Zhejiang maritime merchants on the spot. If anyone wanted to go back on his word, he could immediately enter the Baoyuan Bureau to exchange these silver coins.

Fei Yiying quickly brought the bank notes to the Shipping Department of Songjiang City. He had a batch of goods that needed to be settled.

It's calico, triangular, twill, and damask.

Songjiang Mansion is rich in cotton cloth, known as the inexhaustible Weitang yarn and the inexhaustible Songjiang cloth.

The white cotton cloth costs three coins and one piece of silver, and every 120 pieces is a load. Fei Yiying bought a thousand loads of white cotton cloth, with a total price of [-] silver coins.

And the triangular cloth is smooth and fine, colored and flowery, six dollars a piece, 72 taels of silver per load, a total of one thousand loads, and a total price of 7 silver coins.

The makeup brocade is made of silk, which is extremely expensive, ranging from six taels to ten taels per piece. He bought a total of [-] pieces and spent [-] silver coins.

The total price is 13 silver coins, and the tax is 200 taels.

When Fei Yiying took out the bank notes for settlement, the local cotton merchants in Songjiang immediately became unhappy.

The cotton merchant patted the table and said, "Aren't you bullying people with paper money?"

Chapter 482 Internal and External Weaving and Dyeing Miscellaneous Bureau

"Paper notes?" Fei Yiying stood up and said, "Then let's see if we can accept it."

Fei Yiying brought Songjiang Cotton Merchant General and Suzhou Silk Merchant General to the Baoyuan Bureau of Songjiang Mansion and began to accept silver coins.

Soon, 13 silver coins were handed over to the two merchants.

In this process, there is a completely unnecessary small procedure, which is quite troublesome.

That is, the bank note must be transferred to an account. To be precise, Fei Yiying's signature is required. First, the bank note must be passed to the two merchants, and then the two merchants will start exchanging silver coins.

When Fei Yiying was depositing money at Baoyuan Bureau, he was a little confused about such a convenient bank note.

Why is it an anonymous system instead of an anonymous one?

The reason given by the Baoyuan Bureau was to leave documentary evidence to prevent unnecessary troubles in the future.

The slogan of Baoyuan Bureau is: "Every silver coin has a name."

Any formalities need to be signed by the person before the account can be posted, in order to completely establish the neutral position of Baoyuan Bureau in trade.

They only care about money and nothing else.

Fei Yiying walked out of Baoyuan Bureau and said with a smile: "Now, do you still think it's paper money?"

The two merchants looked at the nearly 14 silver coins on the carriage, and asked suspiciously: "Why is this, Your Majesty? What interest do you want to give us?"

This simple pile of silver bills was actually exchanged for silver coins, which was beyond their expectation.

Fei Yiying didn't answer. After the smooth delivery, he turned and left.

He will take a thousand loads of white cotton cloth, a thousand loads of triangular cloth, twill, and satin, and set out to the country of Wa by sea.

Last winter, many people froze to death in the country of Wa, and the price of cotton cloth was extremely high. A load of white cotton cloth for three coins and silver could be sold for three taels of silver, or even five taels of silver in the country of Wa.

With a rate of return of ten times or even twenty times, Fei should be quite excited. With a total of two shipments, he can get extremely high rewards.

Fei Yiying was not a good person. Although he was as docile as a little sheep in Daming, when he went out to sea, he was a sea merchant who was more ferocious than pirates. They had cannons and blunderbuss, which were almost all acquiesced by His Majesty.

Moreover, he has brothers, and the entire Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce has business in the country of Japan. Once one party has something to do, they will flock to it immediately.

After Fei Yiying left, the two business owners were left standing in front of the Baoyuan Bureau of Songjiang Prefecture in a daze for a long time.

The silver coins are on the car, they just pull them back, but... the world is not peaceful.

They are being watched.

Many wandering beggars who were begging in the city seemed to have passed by several times by accident.

Once they left the scope of the Baoyuan Bureau, their convoy could easily be greeted by bandits on the way home, had a pleasant exchange of ideas with them, and then took away their goods or money.

The team's goal is simply too big.

The two bosses gritted their teeth, returned to Baoyuan Bureau, and deposited the silver coins back.
