Chapter 375: Unprecedented Prosperity

This is obviously a very serious problem. With so many gold, silver and jewelry, it is obviously to attract others to rob. Many people are frightened by this, but soon the Hou Mansion came to solve the problem for them.

In fact, this is easy, and it is inconvenient to carry gold and silver. The Hou Mansion has built a money house and stored the gold and silver here. Then you will give you an equal amount of silver notes. At that time, you only need to take the silver notes to exchange them.

The Marquis' Mansion is guaranteed and absolutely safe.

It is said that all gold and silver will be deposited into the Marquis' treasury, and this Marquis' treasury has countless guards to guard, so there will be no problems.

Once this news came out, not many people actually deposited the silver. Annan and others were frightened birds, and no one was willing to be suckers. In fact, their thinking was no different from the gentry of the Ming Dynasty. They were full of the doctrine of the mean, and they would never be greedy for merit and advance. Although they knew that it was inconvenient to carry these big boxes of things, they were always safer to be on guard against others.

However, then, the Li Hongren and others took the lead in cusing them. Then, the Hao family directly sent him silver notes, and exchanged a truckload of gold and silver for a large stack of 100 taels of money. The money has private seals and secret notes, which are similar to the Ming Dynasty money, and even have special numbers and passwords. If an ordinary person wants to forge it, it will be useless if he doesn't match the secret notes in the money shop.

The bank not only states the date of issuance, but also specifically states that the banknote can be exchanged for silver at any time, and any transactions of the Hao family can be purchased with this money.

Someone tried it, and there were actually a few merchants using the silver notes to buy the Hao family’s mahogany chair. It turned out to be true. Not only did they not make things difficult for them, they were meticulous and did not neglect at all.

In Lang Son, the Hao family has a lot of transactions. Many people need to buy goods or even buy land, and they need to trade with the Hao family. Therefore, there are actually people on the market who are willing to trade with the people who have bought the banknotes. After all, this banknote represents the credit of the Hao family. Even if someone uses the banknotes to buy their own things, at most, they can go to the Hao family's money house to exchange them. Even if they do not exchange them, they will temporarily store them on them and they can also trade with the Hao family in the future.

Not only did this silver note not depreciate as much as the Ming Dynasty money, but more and more people gradually accepted it.

Those who have not exchanged will naturally have no doubts. Hurry up and bring their own goods to exchange.

The Hao family's money house was indeed Hao Fenglou's idea. Lang Son has reached this situation today, and its wealth is increasing day by day, and it is very inconvenient to rely on gold and silver transactions alone. At this time, the launch of silver notes circulating in Lang Son, and the small-scale launch can be regarded as a test of the water temperature.

In the past few days, countless Annan merchants have visited him. Hao Fenglou accompanied Hao Zheng to the reception and suddenly felt his head was getting bigger. He suddenly realized that his father did not seem to be as relaxed and comfortable as he had originally imagined. On the contrary, dealing with him is actually difficult, and Hao Fenglou even suddenly felt that building a ship has become extremely relaxed.

I saw off the crowds of visitors, and I just exchanged greetings first, then waited for the other party to pour out bitterness, comforted him, and then saw him off.

There are many skills here. Hao Zheng asked Hao Fenglou to meet with him and hoped that Hao Fenglou could learn a little bit, but unfortunately Hao Fenglou was just playing on the side. Although he was laughing, there was a bit of force in his smile.

Hao Zheng was helpless and couldn't help saying, "You deal with it properly in the palace, why are you so lazy to treat these guests?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "It's enough to have a father, my son is just right to hide, right?"

Hao Zheng smiled helplessly and said, "You, don't be so lazy. You don't have to distinguish between high and low when dealing with others. Don't look at these people now, you have wealth after all. Our Hao family will be able to use it sooner or later in the future. Although you are a father, you don't expect them to be able to help you in the future, but you are content with adding icing on the cake. Sooner, since you are not determined to be here, just go ahead and go."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, but the child is unfilial. That, I'll go out for a walk."

Hao Zheng waved his hand, with a little anger, but there was a little warmth behind the anger. He knew that this son was still drawing all night at night. It was said that there were many disputes about shipbuilding in the coastal defense. In the end, Hao Fenglou came to make a decision. The son was most concerned about shipbuilding. He didn't sleep all day, and he was thinking about the shipbuilding drawings. Even in the fish pond in the mansion, this guy built it.

Model, putting the wooden boat in the pool water to patrol, creating a "giant wave", and ordering people to fan the wind with big palms. Sometimes they sit by the pool in a daze, and sometimes muttering to themselves, nothing more than saying: "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it's not going to be a sea boat, and if it happens, it's a treasure ship. If it happens, it's a bad idea to go on the keel..."

Hao Fenglou felt relieved and went there happily.

He likes to visit Tongshan Festival. Now this Tongshan Festival has changed a lot. There are crowds everywhere and trade is particularly developed. Now there are 100,000 people living there, which is very lively.

In fact, overall, Hao Fenglou was quite relaxed. Although the Jiaozhi rebellion was a result of military information, it did not affect his mood.

It is naturally impossible for a place to surrender to such a simple situation. Even in Yunnan back then, I don’t know how many resistances it experienced. Although many resistances in Jiaozhi were all mistakes in the court’s own policies, in Hao Fenglou’s view, no matter what, this is a process, there will be killing and ugliness in this process. All he can do is to try his best to grasp this direction and develop this direction in a better way.

After several months, a lot of news came from the court, which was mostly furious. Many officials lost their heads. Then, Fengcheng Hou Shi Jin came to Jiaozhi in person to supervise the battle and fight. The emperor personally wrote an order, which was full of voice and emotion, scolded the officials for being illegal, and sent additional imperial envoys to Jiaozhi, which was very meaningful to work hard to deal with a group of stupid insects.

Of course, Hao Fenglou knew that this was just a gesture of doing things. Jiaozhi's affairs affected his whole body. If one person was finished, many people would have to uproot the roots and even involved the temple. Therefore, it was destined that only someone would be pulled out to take the blame for this matter, and it would be impossible to really punish anything.

However, in the past three or two months, the government army has been attacking everywhere, but the effect is not significant. Although it is claimed to have several great victories, according to the virtues of the government army, the so-called great victories are very heavy. Analysis of the various signs from the Shenwu Guard, many government troops are afraid that they will involve killing good people and making achievements. In this way, people's hearts will be even more of a loss.

Hao Fenglou could only shake his head when he saw this. He gritted his teeth at these pig-like teammates, but found helpless. The palace ordered him to build a ship. If he meddled with other people's business, he would not know how much trouble he would cause. Once the Hao family, the official army and the three Maoshangs of Jiaozhi, the chaos in Jiaozhi would intensify.

However, during this period, the whole of Lang San suddenly became very lively.

This is not just a simple increase in population, but a huge change in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Near the Hou Mansion, more than 20 miles of land had begun construction one after another. The yamen's servants had already measured the land. Even if there were countless mud and carpenters recruited, the business of several nearby brick kilns suddenly soared. Several merchants who opened brick kilns couldn't wait to open the kilns everywhere, for fear that someone would take the lead.

The price of wood has also increased by 20%, not to mention the manpower, because Lang Son is short of manpower and has a high wage. Now people are recruiting labor everywhere, and the wages are also rising. The same civil engineering, the price is more than twice that of Guangxi. Even so, the problem of labor is still not solved.

However, many people in Guangxi were attracted by this place and brought their families with them. They would rather have to work here if the fields were deserted.

In fact, the real tension in manpower is not just about civil engineering. Thousands of gentry and merchants suddenly came here to settle down, and nearly 100,000 servants were brought by them. The food and clothing of these people were originally a bottomless pit. They were used to silk, silk, satin, and fine wine and delicious food. Therefore, Lang Son's demand for silk, wine, even chickens and ducks, as well as books, horses, and incense suddenly increased.

A small county town was already very difficult to meet the needs of merchants from all over the country, not to mention that so many people suddenly settled down. As a result, countless people saw business opportunities, shops rose up again, bookstores, silk shops, even incense, candles, horse shops, wine shops, tea shops, and butchers were all full of business.

This made some people complain, and suddenly there was so much new demand, and ordinary meat alone actually increased by 50% in just half a month, and they had to buy it at the time of the chu. If it was one step late, it might be sold out.

This huge demand is like a wild beast, with no bone residue left to swallow the prey. Although countless shops sprouted like mushrooms after a rain, a problem arises again. When opening a shop, there needs to be goods. Where does the goods come from?

Lang Son naturally has some specialties, such as cloth, ironware, and furniture. However, these are not current demands, but books, paper, pens and ink, silk, wine and meat, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain have become Lang Son's most popular products.

Under such circumstances, Lang San unknowingly completed a gorgeous turn, transforming from a commercial transit point to become the largest consumer market in Guangxi and even the Jiaozhi area.
