At the same time, if Place B does not have that much cash temporarily, it can also use this period of time to transfer it from other places.
Once the merchant arrives at place B and connects with the Jiaozi shop in place B, he can only withdraw the money in place B, and the ticket stubs from other places will have been destroyed.
Moreover, small and medium-sized merchants were not qualified to deposit money in Jiaozi shops. Only top merchants were qualified. Once merchants did such things, the imperial court could confiscate their property and exterminate their clans, directly draining their assets.
Although the national conditions are different, to make an analogy, it is equivalent to modern China opening a top-level bank. Only listed companies with good operations and a large number of real industries are eligible to deposit money into it. Once a listed company wants to take advantage of loopholes, the company and the industry will be confiscated. That's roughly what it means.
"I see."
Now everyone understood, and Yan Shu immediately boasted: "Teacher Zhao is truly the God of Literature who has descended to earth."
As he spoke, he winked at Lü Yijian, Wang Zeng, Fan Zhongyan and others.
Lu Yijian was very smart and immediately followed up, "There has never been anyone as smart as Teacher Zhao in our village."
"The village is too remote, and it's not easy to get down the mountain. The old people in the village are bored and like to read some miscellaneous books and ancient books, but they can't understand them and don't know what they are talking about. Now that the teacher is here, they know how interesting history is."
"If only my child were half as smart as Teacher Zhao."
"With such an outstanding teacher like Teacher Zhao teaching in the future, who knows, our village might also have a college student in the future."
Everyone came to their senses and started praising him.
Everyone had been listening to Zhao Jun for so long that they naturally knew some modern rhetoric, and they all praised Zhao Jun to the skies.
Zhao Jun was delighted, but he kept waving his hands modestly, saying, "Oh, it's just so-so. Village head, Party secretary, I'm embarrassed by your praise."
He said this, but everyone could see that the corners of his mouth were stretched even wider than a flower, and he was so happy that his head was spinning.
After all, this is also a kind of pretense.
When he was in school, everyone was a top student who had been admitted to Renmin University from all over the country with high scores. Many of them were even the top scorers in a certain county or city. Their levels were similar and there was no way for them to show off.
But now, as a favored child of the National People's Congress, he has come to a poor mountainous area where he loves history. It is naturally different for him to show off his knowledge and act pretentiously in front of everyone.
As a contemporary college student born in the 2000s who possesses both clarity and stupidity, Zhao Jun likes the shocked looks on the faces of these naive people.
The main reason is that the situation is different.
When he first came to this small mountain village, he was unfamiliar with the place, blind, and covered in wounds, which filled him with fear.
So at that time Zhao Jun spoke very carefully and cautiously, not daring to be too presumptuous.
But he has been here for almost a month now, and is very familiar with Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan. Although the villagers only met him today, with acquaintances around, he was less cautious and more relaxed when speaking.
Everyone complimented him, and then Yan Shu asked another question.
While Zhao Jun's attention was drawn to him, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then left to go to Guanjia Hall to talk in private.
"Do you gentlemen understand what he said?"
After entering the hall, Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Jun who was sitting on a recliner in the corridor outside the hall from a distance of more than 20 meters, and asked several prime ministers.
Sheng Du bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I understand what Zhao Jun said. However, in the eighth year of Emperor Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu reign, after the Jiaozi shops jointly operated by sixteen merchants in Chengdu went bankrupt, the imperial court dared not open any more Jiaozi shops and ordered that Jiaozi affairs be properly managed. This is because there are so many complex issues involved, and it is definitely not as simple as Zhao Jun suggests."
"Um."
Zhao Zhen nodded.
Sheng Du continued, "This Jiaozi is a matter of great importance. There are many issues to consider, including how much to print, how to prevent counterfeiting and theft, exchange settlement, storage, and so on. After all, this is backed by the imperial court's credit. If we're not careful, the imperial court's reputation will be destroyed, and the Jiaoyin system may even fail."
Lü Yijian also said, "We still need to discuss this matter more. We can't just accept Zhao Jun's words as the truth. He doesn't understand the realities of the Song Dynasty. If we blindly believe him, as he says, it might accelerate the demise of the Song Dynasty."
Wang Zeng objected, saying, "Your Majesty, Zhao Jun's plan sounds very reasonable, and the many relationships and interests involved have been explained. How can it not work?"
"Maybe it can work, but this is our first time doing this and we have no experience. Will there be any problems if we act rashly like this?"
"I think what Zhao Jun said is true. We can try opening a Jiaozi shop in Bianliang first."
"Sir, I agree to try it out."
Cai Qi supported Wang Zeng, Song Shou supported Lu Yijian, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
"Okay."
Zhao Zhen interrupted their quarrel and said, "Let's open a Jiaozi shop in Bianliang and connect it with the Yizhou Jiaozi office in Chengdu. From now on, merchants traveling between Bianliang and Chengdu can use Jiaozi silver notes. Let's try it as Zhao Jun suggested. If something unexpected happens later, we can stop. Zhao Jun's eyes will recover soon anyway, so what are you afraid of?"
Lu Yijian and Song Shou looked at each other. They didn't expect that the emperor had become so much more decisive. In the past, when the two factions quarreled, the emperor was hesitant and unable to make a decision, but now he was so decisive.
It seems that Zhao Jun's appearance did give the emperor some small shock and also inspired him a lot, but I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
