"Your Fan family's grain number is mainly responsible for exchanging grain for Sihai Tickets!"
Catherine said unceremoniously to Fan Yongdou: "The same goes for several other companies. I only know that they are involved in the salt and grain business with Yan'an Prefecture. The Sihai tickets issued by Nanhaiwei must be circulated as cash!"
"There is absolutely no problem with the circulation in Yan'an Prefecture!" Fan Yongdou felt slightly dissatisfied with this Banren woman who gradually showed a bit of domineering with the contact: "I am asking another question now.
Whether it is the Fan family or the Tian family, Yan'an Prefecture is not the only one doing business. After the Sihai Ticket is issued, it will definitely move to other places with the flow of the population. Then, our merchants in other places must be the same as Yan'an Prefecture.
What?"
"It must be the same!" Catherine nodded solemnly: "If it really circulates in other places, I don't think it is a bad thing. At least, Sihai Piao is a kind of Ming Dynasty banknote issued to ordinary people.
After we have gained initial credibility, when more and more people recognize Sihai Piao, just think about how big our business will be in the future!"
"I don't think this is all a good thing!" Fan Yongdou shook his head: "This can only mean that there is something wrong with Sihai Commercial Bank's exchange, and you can't exchange money here, so these Sihai Ticket people will find a way.
Spend these things where you are!"
"The reserves of Sihai Commercial Bank are now distributed as much as they are. Even if everyone comes to cash in, they will cash it out without hesitation. But are your grain account and the salt field ready? Once it is officially issued, from now on
Once the army reaches the people, it is not that easy to stop again!"
"If there is no problem here in the salt field, there will be no problem in the grain house!" Several merchants from the grain house nodded in unison. For them, it was nothing more than exchanging grain and silver for salt, but now it has become a matter of exchanging grain and silver for salt.
If you exchange your tickets for salt, the difference will not be big.
As for the Sihai tickets that were finally gathered at the salt farm, they had to be handed over to Nanhaiwei and Sihai Trading Company. After such circulation of these Sihai tickets, the result was that everyone had no money before, but now everyone has money.
"Then it's decided. I will take the results of our discussion today as the final result and report it to Mr. Jiang!" Catherine said: "Everything is ready on our side. We will wait until Mr. Jiang gives the order to start distributing military pay with Sihai Tickets.
Got it!"
The discussion in the backyard seemed to have a result. A group of people walked out of the backyard. Zhao Huchen stood up and was full of energy.
"Zhao Huchen!" Catherine also came out and called to him: "Where is Ren Baihu?"
"Master Baihu should be watching over there in the cellar!" Zhao Huchen said respectfully: "According to Master Jiang's instructions, we searched in many places before we found a suitable cellar to bring the things you brought Catherine.
Keep planting, I want to grow something this season, but it’s a bit troublesome, Ren Baihu doesn’t dare to slack off at all!”
"Actually, it's not that troublesome!" Catherine shook her head slightly, "The things I brought are easy to grow, but you adults are too careful about these things, and that's why Ren Baihu is so nervous!"
"If you have any orders, just tell me directly!" Zhao Huchen also laughed.
"I want to take a look at the firearms workshop in the city. I don't know if it's possible!" Catherine hesitated. After all, after arriving in Yan'an Prefecture, she had wanted to take a look at this newly established firearms workshop for a long time.
, but Jiang Wan never invited her, and the person in charge of the firearms workshop was another woman next to Jiang Wan.
She didn't really like this woman hanging around Jiang Wan all day long, and naturally she wouldn't beg this woman.
"I don't know about this!" Zhao Huchen was stunned, "Last time you saw the new muskets in our guard, do you want to replace these muskets for everyone?"
The hundred households of Zhao Huchen had a lot of muskets brought from Haojing'ao, especially short-fire muskets, almost one per person. However, compared with the flint-haired long muskets currently equipped by Nanhaiwei, they had
The short-fire musket appears to be much smaller in both range and power.
Although many of these short-fire muskets were handed over to the guard station and equipped with your personal soldiers, some were still left in their hands. If it was not for combat, but just for self-defense, Catherine could be regarded as the best guard in Yan'an Mansion.
Strict and the second person with the most powerful firepower.
"What's the use of changing that!" Catherine pouted: "I'll be fine now. I want to see how Xu Qianshi has taken care of your Lord's firearms workshop. I heard that she didn't know anything about firearms before.
I don’t know why Mr. Jiang asked her to take care of this!”
"Haha!" Zhao Huchen laughed softly: "You don't need to understand Xu Qian's affairs, just those people from the Ministry of Industry understand..."
He lowered his voice and said to Catherine: "I have heard that this Xu Qian is very popular in the capital and has a good background. When he came to our Nanhaiwei, he was just going to go through the motions.
I don’t know why, but he didn’t leave, and we adults actually kept him here!”
"But she is a woman!" Catherine's eyebrows moved: "She also became an officer. I know that there are no female officers in the Ming Dynasty's army!"
"But Xu Qianshi is a man on the roster!" Zhao Huchen racked his brains, thinking about the secrets about Wei Li that he had learned from his friends in Zhouzhuang after arriving in Yan'an Mansion: "Anyway, the people above are not interested in this kind of thing.
Everyone knows, but everyone doesn’t say it, without her, we might not be able to hire people from the Ministry of Industry..."
"Hey!" Catherine sighed and rolled her eyes: "By the way, you said, is it okay if I join the Ming Dynasty's army? When I was discussing things with the businessmen inside, I thought, if I were an officer, I would
You can’t be so polite to them!”
"I don't know about this!" Zhao Huchen was stunned and said with a smile: "How about you ask Master Jiang yourself next time you see him?"
"Why not next time!" Catherine walked towards the outside: "I just happened to have something to tell him, so I will ask him now. Well, with my identity, I should not go to the firearms workshop again.
That’s a problem, it’s a very expensive place. If they are rude to me, it won’t be that convenient if they want to take money from me in the future!”
"No!" Zhao Huchen followed up a few steps: "Miss Catherine, you are our adults' money bag. Although the firearms workshop is important, but there is no money, how can they make muskets..."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Catherine's mouth. Yes, if you think about it this way, in Jiang Wan's heart, she is still much higher than that woman. That woman is just his subordinate, but she is in charge of the entire army for him.
