I want to be a grandson

Chapter 527 The New King's Thunder Wrath!
"Master..."

"Find out what news, tell me."

At night, in the courtyard, the coachman came back from outside to inquire about the news, and came to Gao Yuan's study to report.

"Master, I went out today to inquire about the news, and there is nothing special at home, but the young master just came back after going out for two or three days a few days ago.

The Eldest Young Master brought along all the master's confidantes, as well as the Eldest Young Master's own wife and brother, so I don't know where he went, but I can still find out..."

Gao Yuan didn't react at all. Although he knew what the family was doing without telling him, he didn't go into it.

The coachman continued: "Master, I found that there are a lot of eyeliners in the city, and there are secret sentries watching out of the city..."

Gao Yuan sat on the chair, held the jade paperweight in his hand, and said, "Then...they really belong to the government?"

Except for the government, no one will stare at him so hard.

The coachman's eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't answer any more. After a while, Gao Yuan said: "It seems that I am really being targeted by the government. Since the other party is following me, they must be showing their feet somewhere...

But now is not the time to talk about this, can you find out where they are from?Is it from the state capital?Or the soldiers who have been sentenced and inspected? "

The coachman hesitated for a moment, his face became more serious, and he looked at his young master and said, "Master, the person who came this time should be from Jinyiwei, and not from the state government. The accent should be transferred from afar..."

"Jinyiwei?!"

Gao Yuan, who had a calm expression just now, was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help standing up from the chair, the heaviness and shock on his face quickly climbed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jin Yiwei, that is Jin Yiwei!
And it wasn't the local Jinyiwei that was used, which meant that the person in charge was very cautious, afraid of leaking the news, that's why he made such a big move!
If it's a trivial matter, he wouldn't dare bother Jin Yiwei to dispatch it!There is no need to do anything!

It seems that the identity of the person staring at him is also extraordinary!Now that they are eyeing them, it may be difficult to escape.

"Young master, what should you do at this time..."

Looking at the dark night in the plateau, the sky was so dark that no stars could be seen, as if the entire sky was covered by a curtain.

A voice rang out: "It's time to find a way out..."

In the city, cloth line.

Wang Yi sometimes does some business to deceive others. After all, his status is very embarrassing, and he can't stand the careful inspection of interested people.

Therefore, in order to avoid exposing the trade between himself and the Japanese slave country, he would also take out some goods and sell them, maintaining his appearance as a businessman and secretly pirates, but in fact he was a "spy" of the Japanese.

The identity of a businessman is for ordinary people to see. Pirates can only be known by their peers or after detailed inquiries. As for "spies", only a few people know.

So today Wang Yi brought some raw silk and cloth to the cloth shop for trading, negotiating prices, measuring and weighing everything went smoothly, but something went wrong in the final settlement...

In the back hall of Buxing, the shopkeeper and Wang Yi chatted with each other while drinking some tea.

After a while, the store clerk and accountant came over and put the account book in front of the shopkeeper.
Said: "The shopkeeper, the raw silk and the cloth have been checked clearly. The raw silk is 340 a catty, and the cloth is 460 bolts, with different colors. This is the estimated price. A total of [-] five guan, please take a look at the shopkeeper..."

The shopkeeper looked at it, and then showed Wang Yi the account book. After Wang Yi confirmed that it was correct, the two parties began to deliver.

After dismissing the clerk and accountant, the shopkeeper approached and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, what is the convenience of this transaction?"

Hearing this, Wang Yi understood what it meant, and said, "I usually travel all over the country to do business. If it's really inconvenient to carry it all into copper coins, I can't carry it... Hahaha, let's change it to precious banknotes."

Although the Daming banknotes have depreciated, merchants have formed "hidden rules" when using them. They will only pay for the actual value of Baochao, and will not use it according to the currency value.

In addition, the precious banknotes have not depreciated to the point where people hate dogs and are not even as good as butt wipes, so sometimes they have to be used for the convenience of transactions.

Of course, if you save it at home and put it on hold for a long time, you will definitely need copper coins, after all, this thing preserves its value!
"light and spacious!
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to do business with shopkeeper Chen. I have some treasures on my cabinet, so I'll take them from you..." He stood up and was about to go out.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Master Chen, the imperial court is now minting silver coins. You must have heard of this incident, right?"

Wang Yi was taken aback: "That's natural, it's a good thing, we might use silver coins when we do business in the future, I heard that it's very strong..."

"That's that..." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then shopkeeper Chen...have you received any silver coins?"

"Where do I get that blessing!"

Immediately, a bad thought flashed in Wang Yi's mind, and he hurriedly said, "I have heard that all the silver coins minted by the imperial court were exchanged by the soldiers in the capital. …Hehe, I don’t know what year and month it is!”

The shopkeeper said: "It is true that they are not used extensively now. After all, it takes time for the imperial court to mint silver coins... But a few days ago, a relative in the village who was a minor official in the Beijing camp returned to his hometown to visit relatives, so he brought back the silver coins.
After I found out, I hurried over and collected those silver coins after paying a high price, hehe, I don’t know whether it’s a loss or a gain..."

"That must be a profit! And it is a big profit! Does the shopkeeper have silver coins?"

Wang Yi said excitedly: "To be honest, I want to collect some, but unfortunately the capital is too small and there is no way to do this business.
But I know that many people are willing to charge a high price, and if the shopkeeper has it in his hand, then... I don't know if it can be converted into a cloth price... It will also open my eyes..."

"It's easy to say..." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, "But I have to speak clearly, I don't have much in hand, you can't let me lose money..."

After some bargaining, the two finally increased the transaction price of silver coins by [-]%, which means that Wang Yi charged silver coins at [-] times the price.

In fact, this price is not high. After all, silver coins are sought after by people, but they are not cheap, because there are many silver coins in the first batch.

Some people are more fanatical. In order to get the first-hand, the price will be much higher. It may be two or three times higher. After all, there is no shortage of fanatics in any era.

In fact, think about the fact that some people in future generations can queue up overnight in order to grab a mobile phone that comes out of the assembly line as soon as possible.

Don't forget that scalpers exist because they have the soil for their existence.

And the one with the waist!
However, charging high prices is not the norm after all, nor is it the price that a large transaction should have.

The shopkeeper came to the accounting room, and the accountant told him to exchange the 460 pentacles into silver coins and deliver them.

The accountant frowned and said worriedly: "Shopkeeper, I see that this shopkeeper Chen is strange, he is not our regular customer, if I give him the things... will there be any problems?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him, and said impatiently: "Did you forget what the young master ordered? If you don't leave these things first, it won't be easy if you want to disperse them later.

Besides, there is still a [-]% profit now, what about in the future?What if the young master blames the loss of profits? "

"Shopkeeper, but I'm still worried. Let's choose a few regular customers according to the old rules. It's safer..."

"Regular customers? All the regular customers in the shop have dispersed, so there are still regular customers? Besides, he is a foreigner, and he will leave in a day or two. There will be no problems..."

Not only Wang Yi, but the shopkeeper's regular customers who knew everything about him had left a lot in the past few days, and there was nowhere to go.

The shopkeeper also knew his worry, so he moved closer and said in a low voice: "We negotiated [-]% profit, and [-]% profit is good on the account. As long as it is favorable, the young master will not care about it. You and I add [-]% to [-]%. How about it?" ?”

"Well, listen to the shopkeeper!"

The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

The shopkeeper and the accountant are part-time workers, and they also belong to the mutual restraint relationship in the store, just to prevent someone from filling their own pockets.

But if the shopkeeper colludes with the cashier, hehe, there are too many places where he can do his best!
And both of them understand that if you don't disperse the silver coins when they are in high demand, and when almost everyone has them, who will care about yours?Who will pay a high price to buy?

As a result, profits plummet...

If the young master earns less, what profit margins do they have?
So the best choice is to sell as soon as possible, cash out as soon as possible, and earn the money first!
As for the risk, they have done this kind of thing not once or twice, and the more times they do it, the less fearful they will be.

So after the two reached a consensus, the shopkeeper took the silver coins and handed them to Wang Yi in the back hall.

When Wang Yi opened the purse with joy on his face, all he saw was white flowers, but before he finished enjoying the happy mood,

Suddenly, I realized that the amount of silver coins in my hand was wrong!

It is obviously heavy to start with!

Wang Yi's heart was shocked, and he tried his best not to show any flaws. He carefully observed the silver coin, and found that the color of the silver coin was also wrong, obviously a bit dim.
"There must be too much platinum (tin) in it!" Wang Yi thought to himself.

Suppressing the shock in my heart, I tried to maintain a bright smile, "Shopkeeper, these silver coins... Hehe, according to the price we negotiated, let's reduce it by another [-]%!"

Seeing his knowing expression, the shopkeeper knew what he saw, and said calmly: "Business pays attention to harmony and wealth, and harmony is the most important thing, don't you think? Minus two achievements Take a [-]% discount and let it be your customer!"

The shopkeeper asked the cashier to give him [-]% more silver coins, and Wang Yi showed a satisfied expression on his face, "The shopkeeper is really happy! Well, well, then I will take my leave, and we will meet later!"

The shopkeeper blinked his eyes, he did not react at all, but he replied with a few polite words, and sent Wang Yi out of the shop.

Standing in front of the shop door, the shopkeeper was a little distracted for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

The accountant came to his side and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper, did he see it?"

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Well... It doesn't matter if you can see it or not, don't worry about him."

Since it is a counterfeit currency, it is also a common thing to be seen by others.

But sometimes an unspoken rule will be formed, you know and I know, and then it is tacit.

Silver coins are fake, but don’t forget that when buying counterfeit coins, those in the counterfeit coin business are paying real money!And sometimes the price is not cheap!
Those "regular customers" also know that it is counterfeit money, but why do they still want it?
It's because it's profitable!

There is such a famous saying in the theory of capital that capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum.

Once there is a proper profit, the capital will be bold.If there is a 20.00% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a [-]% profit, it will be active,

If there is a 50.00% profit, it will take risks; for double the profit, it will trample on all human laws!
With three times the profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging.If unrest and strife bring profit, it encourages unrest and strife!

"My lord, my lord..."

After Wang Yi came to the post station and secretly showed his token, someone immediately passed it on to Ma Hetong, and when he came to the house where he lived, Wang Yi shouted impatiently.

Ma He said: "I can hear you, keep your voice down! Why are you here in broad daylight, and you are not afraid that others will see you and lose your identity!"

"How can I care so much!" Wang Yi hurried forward, "Look, my lord, something serious has happened!"

"What made you so..." Before Ma He could finish his sentence, he saw him take out a handful of silver coins from his leather bag, and with a glance, Ma He saw the clue!
"This silver coin is fake!"

"My lord, please take a look!" Wang Yi handed him the silver coin.

Ma He quickly took it over and looked it over carefully, "The weight is wrong, it's obviously heavy, and the color is wrong. It's clear that too much platinum is used, and there is also brass. There is very little silver in it, and I'm afraid it's not even half a percent... The pattern and text are also wrong. , not as exquisite as real coins at all..."

Wang Yi put all the silver coins in the leather bag on the table with a clatter, Ma He was startled, "Where did you get so many silver coins?!"

If there are only three or two counterfeit coins, that's all. It means that even if it is imitated, its scale is not good enough.

But with so many silver coins piled up on the table, it is obvious that someone is imitating them!I don't know how big it is!

Good money drives out bad money, but sometimes bad money can destroy the reputation of good money!

If there are such counterfeit coins all over the street, then the fake ones will become real!

When a fake is true, it is also a fake!

At that time, even if you have real coins in your hand, others will doubt its authenticity!

Although His Majesty ascended the throne, although he did not explicitly mention reforms, and did not explicitly say "the ban on the use of silver", everyone can see that this is the first year of Xuanwu, the first major policy of the new emperor!
If His Majesty finds out, it will be the fury of Thunder!
