Wang Shuo smiled slightly and said: "The imperial court has reached this point, the border is constantly in civil strife, the building will collapse, and then govern the country by virtue of the past laws and regulations, isn't it ridiculous As for tea, as long as we have the right way and make the merchants profitable, there will naturally be people selling them."
Yes, I thought of a new way, say it today, and ask the boss to correct, I don't know if the boss is willing to teach me" Qi Ting said in his heart, this tea and horse market is not as simple as you think, the Tao is deep, just you, a layman, what new way can he not say so, and smiled at the moment: "The general is very smart, there must be a clever plan, the little old man should listen to himself." ”Wang Shuokankan said: "This one, the tea and horse market is no longer open regularly, but every day, if there are special reasons, it will be notified separately."
Second, the market price is no longer set by the government, but is set by the market, and the buyer and seller set the price according to their needs.Third, the tea and horse market can not only trade tea horses, but also any goods. ”Qi Tingzhi listened without comment.What Wang Shuo is talking about is a free market.It must be known that these Nanren and Zhufan are not only of different nationalities, but also have different languages, and no one can understand each other, and their personalities are also very different.The southerners are treacherous, the Tibetan people are barbaric, this has to be a piece of free trade, the chicken says the duck price, it is not completely messed up, it has to be fought and, the Tibetan people mostly barter, rarely use silver taels, and the southerners are just the opposite.It sounds like a good idea, but it doesn't work at all.Wang Shuo then said: "Fourth, the classification of goods, uniformity, unified bidding for similar goods, the lowest sell, the highest buy priority, the rest of the waiting, can not exceed the order." ”This Qi Tingzhi didn't understand, and couldn't help asking: "How is this a trading method" Wang Shuo explained: "Let's take the horse first."
Of course, tea belongs to a special tea market, and all goods need to have a special place to buy and sell.Let's just talk about the horse market, which is easy to understand.The horse market has a discriminator to separate good horses from bad horses, for example, it can be divided into three grades, good horses, medium horses, and bad horses.The three grades of horses can be bought and sold in three places in the horse market.Horses and horses that are not of sufficient grade are not accepted or sold.Let's only talk about things at the level of a good horse.For example, the owner of the horse brings thirty horses, which have been verified by the market appraiser to be good horses.When he came to the special good horse market, he could not go directly to the horse market to call and sell, but to save his horses in our horse pen, in exchange for the same number of good horses of bamboo chips, and report the price he wanted to sell to the quotation officer, who sang the price.Then set up a big sign in the good horse market, and write the price and quantity of the person's horse on the sale column.For example, thirty good horses, each of which costs two taels of silver.At this time, there was another man who had ten good horses, and he also wanted to sell them for two taels of silver.The quotation officer added another ten horses to the end.Whoever quotes first will close the deal first.If someone offers less than these two, write a cheaper price above them, and so on.Then there is the buying price, and the most expensive one is at the top, which is the same as what I said earlier.After the transaction, everyone relied on the bamboo chips traded in their hands to exchange for real goods or exchange silver taels.In the horse market, each transaction is erased from the big brand, and the price of the horse fluctuates with the buying and selling. ”Wang Shuo repeated the story and demonstrated it many times, and Qi Tingji thought for a long time before he understood what he meant, and asked: "The general's meaning is that the price of this horse will go up and down with the demand, and if there is more demand, the price of the horse will be higher, and if it is not, it will be lower" Wang Shuo said: "Yes."
In this way, everyone buys and sells voluntarily, reflecting fairness.Moreover, the quotation by the quotation officer also avoids misunderstandings caused by language barriers. ”Qi Tingji couldn't help but nod and said, "That's a good idea." ”Then he asked, "However, everyone is bartering, and there is no ready-made silver tael in their hands, how to trade" Wang Shuo smiled: "This is what we do to manage the tea and horse market."
When a merchant comes to the tea and horse market, he can first go to the place we manage, price his goods, and exchange them for the corresponding bamboo chips, and if he wants to exchange money directly, he can also exchange them for equivalent silver taels according to the value of the goods.The first time the market opens, the official price is set, and after the market opens, the closing price of yesterday's goods is the silver price of the goods on the second day, and so on. ”Qi Tingji couldn't help but nod and praised: "This is fine" and then asked, "If this is a lot of transactions a day, how much silver and two sides of the official family will have enough to spend" Wang Shuo said: "It doesn't take much, the official family only needs to make some chips to replace the silver taels, or it is equivalent to bartering."
After the transaction is completed, the merchant can exchange the remaining chips in his hand for silver taels to go out of the market, and the official only needs to prevent someone from making fake chips to fraudulently receive silver taels. ”This is the same as casino chips, Qi Tingji immediately understood, this is another good idea, so he listened to Wang Shuo and said: "Before the market opens, merchants who need silver must first mortgage the goods to exchange chips, and the price changes after the market opens.After the market closes, merchants can exchange their chips for goods or silver taels at the closing price of the day.If the exchange price is high and the price is low at closing, the merchant will make a profit, and the merchant will lose otherwise.If the merchant does not redeem the goods and cashes the silver directly, the goods belong to the official family, and the official family can sell them in the market on the second day.In addition, the market only trades in chips, and the goods and silver must be deposited with the official's house, and returned after the market closes with the deposited chips or bamboo chips marked with the goods number. ”:
