"Slow down, don't break it. These are expensive woods. You can't afford to lose any of them!" Manager Xu shouted to the worker who was carrying the wood. In fact, he knew that the woods were very strong and not so easy to damage. However, there was a middle-aged man in official uniform next to him supervising, so of course he had to show it.

After all the wood on the car was unloaded, Manager Xu then came to the middle-aged official with a pleasing look on his face and said, "Master Qian, look at my batch of wood, all of them are good wood transported from the south, and there is absolutely no defective!"

"This is not the first time I have bought wood from Manager Xu. Of course I can trust your character!" Qian said coldly. Although he is only a small ninth-rank chief, he is much higher than a businessman like Manager Xu in terms of identity, and he is also in charge of purchasing wood. Wood merchants like Manager Xu naturally have to flatter him.

Manager Xu didn't care about the coldness of the money manager at all. Instead, he boasted a few more words again. Then he changed his mind and said with a smile again: "Master Qian manager, I have sent you several batches of goods, and there is not much wood in my hand. I will go to purchase it next. Look..."

Master Qian had known for a long time that Manager Xu was just asking for money. If it were done on a normal basis, he would definitely have to take care of the other party, and it would be normal for a few days to owe him. However, today he said happily: "No problem, the money has been prepared for you!"

Seeing that the money manager was so happy today, Manager Xu was also stunned. This was beyond his expectations. He had prepared a lot of words to fix the money manager, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly?

The Qian manager took out an account book from his sleeve, then calculated several accounts of Manager Xu, and obtained a total of 377 jin, and then asked someone to withdraw the money.

Manager Xu woke up as soon as he dreamed, and immediately praised Qian again for his words. Soon someone brought the money over, but what Manager Xu didn't expect was that the other party only took a thick stack of paper and handed it to him.

"This... is this treasure banknote?" Manager Xu frowned when he saw the thing he handed over. He knew this. Since the past few days, the court hired civilians to only use this treasure banknote to calculate wages. He heard that it could be exchanged in full. He also collected a few treasure banknotes because he was curious, but the maximum face value was only twenty cents. Now all these in front of him were big banknotes of hundreds of cents.

"Yes, from today on, the court will use this new treasure banknote to settle the purchase of all kinds of goods. Shopkeeper Xu, you have no problem here, right?" Mr. Qian suddenly asked Shopkeeper Xu with a smile.

"No...no problem!" Manager Xu also hurriedly took Baochao and said. He had always been smart and had already felt the implication of Qian Zheng's words. You must know that he was relying on the person who provided food to the court. If he dared to have any objections to the court, would he still be able to do business in the future?

However, after Manager Xu took the treasure money, he always felt that the thick treasure money made people feel uneasy, so he finally mustered up the courage to ask Master Qian: "Master Qian, I heard that all these treasure money can be exchanged in full, so can I get all the money from the bank to exchange it for copper coins or silver?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Master Qian nodded again, but then he said again, "In fact, today is an exception. Because it is the first time to pay the bill with treasure money, we will give you treasure money. When paying the bill in the future, we usually write a note, and then you can take the note to the bank to withdraw the money."

When we talked about this, the money owner paused for a moment and then said, "When you go to the bank to withdraw money, you need copper coins if you want copper coins, and if you want silver, you need silver. However, we said that you should give priority to using treasure banknotes in the future, so if any merchant is more willing to use treasure banknotes, the court will give priority to purchasing his goods!"

After saying that, Master Qian smiled and turned around and left. He had already made the point. If Manager Xu had some brains, he would definitely understand what he meant.

Manager Xu was stunned for a while when he saw Master Qian leaving. After a moment, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. Master Qian had already made it clear. If you want the court to continue purchasing your goods, you must use treasure banknotes. And if you hold too much treasure banknotes in your hand, the court will give priority to doing business with you. This is simply holding his seven inches.

Thinking of this, Manager Xu couldn't help but look down at the treasure banknotes in his hand. Although this new treasure banknote is far more exquisite than the old treasure banknotes, it still makes him feel cold. He believes that there is definitely no problem in exchange for this treasure banknote, but after the exchange, if the court no longer purchases his wood, he will lose a lot of money. If he doesn't exchange it, he is afraid that if this treasure banknote will turn into waste paper one day.

"Wait a minute, the court just doesn't want us to exchange it, but it didn't say that I won't spend it. Now many businesses are willing to collect treasure money. Maybe I can pay the bill when I buy wood!" Manager Xu suddenly lit up his eyes and said to himself.

As soon as the above idea appeared, the more Mr. Xu thought about it, the more he thought it was good. In the past, the demand for timber was very large, and it could be said that it was in short supply. As long as the timber was fine, he was almost not afraid of no buyers. Especially in Beijing, he had to move the capital and build houses everywhere, and the demand for timber was even more urgent. For this reason, many merchants have accumulated a lot of timber in advance and prepared to make a big profit.

However, no one expected that the court actually created a cement, which was cheap and easy to use, and could replace wood in many aspects, such as columns, walls, etc., which greatly reduced the demand for wood. People who used to store building blocks were also angry and scolded. Now, not only did the price decrease, but they also asked others to buy it.

Manager Xu had also accumulated a batch of wood before, but he lost hundreds of coins before selling it. Now he can buy other people's wood and pay the bill with treasure money at that time, so he is not afraid that they will not want it.

What Manager Xu didn't know was that his idea fell into Li Jie's calculations. The reason why Li Jie used treasure money to pay the merchants' accounts and hinted that the court would give priority to doing business with merchants holding treasure money was mainly to let them find ways to spend the treasure money in their hands. After all, only when the treasure money was flowing can it be used as a currency.

Similar to the situation of Manager Xu, the entire Beijing city was happening everywhere, and all purchases related to the court were replaced with treasure banknotes. Some of the smart merchants had expected that they had even settled the wages of workers with treasure banknotes. Obviously, the court planned to force the promotion of new treasure banknotes, so they would definitely have this day.

However, because Baochao was recognized by the workers at the bottom before, and some vendors also began to collect Baochao, these merchants' repulsion of Baochao was much smaller. Of course, this is because they rely on the court to make a living and dare not disobey the will of the court. After all, they all have families and jobs, and it is easier for them to compromise than those at the bottom.

Of course, at the beginning, although merchants used treasure banknotes, they were still worried that treasure banknotes would depreciate, so from time to time, someone would bring a small amount of treasure banknotes to the bank to exchange, mainly to test the bank's attitude. If the bank had the intention to depreciate, it would immediately attract a run for everyone.

Li Jie is naturally very clear about the above point, so the bank not only exchanges in full, but also opens twelve hours a day. Even if you come to the bank in the middle of the night, there are people here to help you exchange it in order to improve these people's confidence in Baochao.

Of course, Li Jie dared to do this, the most important thing was that Lao Zhu had handed over all the silver shipped from Japan to him. With this huge deposit, Li Jie dared to spend money so unscrupulously.

However, even so, the bank's inventory of silver and copper coins is beginning to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just one month, the inventory is half reduced, and the speed of spending money is terrifying.

In fact, this money was not spent by Li Jie. It was mainly because of moving the capital, and all the money was spent in every place, and all of this money had to be released from the bank. Li Jie was like a accountant, who only cared about money but could not decide where to go. In this situation, I am afraid that in another month, the bank would have no money to use it!
