He left the bank building and headed to a huge market on the opposite street.
In the market, many people bought supplies with their newly issued silver and copper coins.
Although most of the people in Weihai Wei received food as remuneration, there were always some who worked hard and were smart enough to do a good job, thus getting promoted and getting a raise.
For example, the first batch of fishermen on the Liu Clan Island who submitted to him had almost all started to make a small fortune.
In the market, there were a few big shops that were very lively.
One was a shop selling sea salt, another was a shop selling salted fish, another was a shop selling grain, and the last was a shop selling cloth.
These four shops and four industries could be said to be the four pillar industries in Lin Feng's territory. The daily transaction volume was huge.
Of course, to Lin Feng, this transaction was not a sale.
It was because he wanted the people of Weihai Wei to work for him, so he had to pay these things.
Other than that, the trading volume of the metal shops that sold various tools made of steel was also increasing.
"Such high-quality sea salt is actually three copper coins per catty?!”
"My God, this brightly colored cloth with flower patterns is actually only ten copper coins per roll?”!
"High-quality rice, one copper coin for a catty?”
" Salted fish costs two copper coins per catty?!"
" Ten eggs for one copper coin?!"
"My God, isn't this too cheap?!!”
Looking at the best-selling price of daily necessities on the market, all the rich merchants were stunned. They were all dumbfounded by this scene.
Then, he looked at the silver coins that he had exchanged out of curiosity and calculated how many things he could buy with these silver coins.
After calculating for a long time, it gave him a headache. He might as well not calculate it!
There were simply too many things to buy!
"This…"
"If we buy these things in large quantities and sell them to other places, we can easily earn more than ten times!”
When Great-grandfather Ren thought of the profits, he felt dizzy.
The current Da Ming, the prices of goods were absurdly high, even terrifying.
For example, the price of rice in the capital had soared to more than ten taels of silver per stone!
One stone was only about 150 catties. If he calculated, it would cost more than 100 copper coins to buy one catty of rice.
The price of salt was even more terrifying!
As for salted fish, many people in the mainland couldn't even eat rice, let alone meat.
Just based on whether this salted fish had salt or meat, it could be sold at an astronomical price!
Can we buy a boat?"
Great-grandfather Ren reacted very quickly and asked the wealthy businessman surnamed Wang.
Wang was stunned for a moment, then he quickly nodded.""Yes, of course, and the price is very cheap!”
Then, he said,"They sell their 300-ton warships, which are equivalent to a thousand-ton ship!”
" You're selling that kind of boat?!"
The eyes of the other squires and merchants lit up when they heard this. They felt that they were dreaming.
The Weihai Guards had crossed the sea, and they knew about their powerful warships. Be it the structure or the sails on it, they were all very powerful.
The fastest sailing speed sometimes exceeded 20 knots!
One had to know that on the surface of the Daming Sea, the vast majority of ships only had a speed of a few knots!
The speed of the ship was 20 knots. This was simply flying on the sea!
It was five to six times more than a common large ship!
This could save five to six times the time!
"I'll buy it, no matter how much it costs!!”
Old Master Ren said firmly!
This kind of high-speed warship was a sharp weapon for sea trade. Not to mention, it also had a powerful self-defense ability. He had never seen a ship that was more powerful than this.
Although the ships in the south had very powerful cannons, they were still very powerful.
But they came to Weihaiwei to take a look?
If they couldn't even catch up, what was the use of cannons?!
Not only could the ship save time, but it was also safe.
Although he didn't know why the owner of the Weihai Guards was so crazy as to sell the warship, he felt that this was his chance!
The opportunity for the Ren family to rise!
Without another word, he went to the commercial building to discuss the purchase of the warship.
......
The Weihai Guards 'headquarters had been rebuilt and became the Lord's Manor.
Lin Feng moved into Weihai Wei's base camp when he was preparing to set up his base camp in Weihai Wei. The previous guard station was originally a standard military fortress. After the hard work of the commander of the guards, it had already become a large manor, a real mansion.
Lin Feng would be able to live in it after some construction, and his safety would be guaranteed.
Lin Feng moved the town center from Liujia Island to Weihaiwei as soon as he moved in.
In the lord's manor.
"My lord, we have cast 200,000 silver coins and have distributed them all. They have begun to flow into the market. At the same time, more than ten million copper coins had entered the market!”
"As long as the time is right, we will be able to issue gold coins!”
Zhang Can, who was in charge of the bank's finance, reported to Lin Feng about his work these days.
" Silver coins are being issued so quickly?!" Lin Feng couldn't help but be surprised. He could charge almost 10% of the casting fee for each silver dollar because it was made of 90% pure silver and some other metals.
200,000 silver dollars would be able to recoup 20,000. This money-making business was too easy to do!
Of course, this was only the beginning. When the time was ripe, they could start issuing paper currency. If they did not have money, they could issue paper currency. At that time, they would earn several times more!
Even if paper money was exchanged with silver and gold, it would be the same.
If he disregarded everything, he could do it ten times or even dozens of times.
Of course, Lin Feng would not be so crazy.
Maintaining financial stability was the most important thing.
Money meant nothing to him. As long as he had the resources, money would come naturally.
"It's mainly because those rich merchants spent a lot of money to buy our warships!”Zhang Can smiled.
Three hundred ton warships, also known as the Thousand Material Large Ships, cost five thousand silver per ship. Because Weihai Wei's silver coins were two-thirds of Ming's, five thousand silver coins were equivalent to seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
The price was neither expensive nor cheap, but because of the fast speed of the ships, the rich merchants exchanged 20,000 silver dollars and bought four ships.
Lin Feng was in favor of these rich businessmen buying ships to go out to sea.
However, the rice was not currently being sold. The only things that were being sold were sea salt, cloth, salted fish, and metal tools.
Although he sold it cheaply and it looked like these merchants had made a lot of money, as they dumped a large number of them, the price was bound to drop.
Lin Feng didn't care about how much he earned. What he cared about was dominating the entire market.
As well as revitalizing the entire Weihaiwei business economy!
When Weihai Wei's reputation of being cheap and cheap spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, there would be a huge number of merchants pouring in, and at the same time, a large number of resources would pour in.
More importantly, the financial system that he created with silver and copper as the main currency would also spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
Among them, he had transferred a lot of things!
Weihaiwei would become a real port city, and its silver and copper coins would dominate the Ming Dynasty's financial market and set a new financial order.
At the same time, they would be able to obtain a large amount of resources that they lacked and input them into Weihai Wei without much effort!
Moreover, it would attract many talents!
He had yet to develop his firearms and artillery skills. He needed talents in this field!
It could be said that no matter what, he would definitely make a profit!
