Chapter 774: Imagine the paper money, the road starts!

Three days later, the first batch of funds raised by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, 335 thousand units, had all arrived. Seeing a room full of copper coins, Li Zexuan sighed in his heart:
"The times are too backward~! With more than 300,000 sticks in this mere trivial amount, a room is a bit too much to fit, and the servants in the house have counted the money for a long time! Nothing is like modern times, with a finger on the phone, Whether it’s three hundred thousand or thirty million, everything arrives instantly! The worst, modern cash is much better than the copper coins at this time! Eleven thousand one wad, thirty million is a box thing, no Like now, 300,000 sticks are directly piled up in a room!"
Regarding the currency of this era, Li Zexuan actually doesn't know how many times he has complained about it in his heart. Just imagine, if you want to buy a horse in the West Market, you don't have to talk more than a dozen times. In ancient times, money was basically about three to four kilograms, and a dozen of them was about forty to fifty kilograms. The weight of copper used to buy horses was almost equal to the weight of a person. You can imagine the large transactions in this era. How inconvenient it is.
"Paper currency, paper currency, we must develop paper currency in the future~!"
Li Zexuan said with emotion.
Modern online payment is still too far away from the level of Tang Dynasty, but paper money can still be looked forward to.
In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a shadow of banknotes. According to historical records, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu for many years, and the treasury was empty. In order to solve financial difficulties, he made "three baht coins" and "platinum coins" (alloy coins made of silver and tin). The "White Deerskin Coin" was issued.
The so-called "white deerskin coin" uses the white deerskin of the palace as the currency material. Each piece of square ruler is painted on the periphery, and each piece of leather coin has a fixed value of 400,000 yuan. Because its value is far from the value of the leather coin, the "white deer leather coin" is only used as a gift between the princes and is not used in the circulation field. Therefore, it is not a paper currency in the true sense, but can only be said to be a paper currency. Pioneer.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a currency called "Flying Money". At that time, it was inconvenient for merchants to bring a large amount of copper coins to go out for business, so they first went to the government to issue a voucher that recorded the place and the number of coins, and then took the voucher to withdraw money and purchase goods in other places. This voucher was "flying money." "Flying money" is essentially only a kind of exchange business. It does not intervene in circulation and does not perform the function of currency, so it is not a real paper currency.
The "Jiaozi" in Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty, was the beginning of real banknotes.
Why paper money did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, or in dynasties earlier than the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not accidental, it is an inevitable product of social, political and economic development. The development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was very rapid, and more currency was needed in commodity circulation. At that time, there was a shortage of copper money, which could not meet the demand in circulation.
At that time, iron coins were widely used in Sichuan. The iron coins were low in value and heavy in quantity, making it extremely inconvenient to use. One copper coin equals ten iron coins. For every thousand iron coins, the weight is 25 catties for big money and 13 catties for middle money. Buying a piece of cloth requires iron money of 20,000 yuan, weighing about 500 kilograms, and requires a car. Therefore, objectively a light currency is needed, which is also the main reason why banknotes first appeared in Sichuan.
Furthermore, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocratic country, the national currency was not unified. There were several currency zones, each of which was independent and not universal. At that time, there were special copper coins for Shisanlu (the administrative unit in Song Dynasty), four special iron coins, and Shaanxi and Hedong both used copper and iron coins. Currency outflow is strictly prohibited in various currency areas, and the use of banknotes can prevent the outflow of copper and iron money.
In addition, the Song Dynasty government was often attacked by the Liao, Xia, and Jin, and spent a lot of military and indemnities. It also needed to issue paper money to make up for the fiscal deficit. A variety of reasons led to the birth of the paper currency-"Jiaozi".
According to the original history, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to have banknotes, but now, he, a modern man, has passed through, and he has also passed through a rich second generation with a wealth of money, so he has to do something.
After thinking wildly in his mind, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning. Regarding banknotes, he will do it in the future, but he will definitely not do it now. This requires time and talents in related fields.
When he came to the academy, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning's office.
"Shaoning! The money for road construction is all in place, so you can arrange for manpower as soon as possible and start construction~!"
Li Zexuan pushed the door and walked in, seeing that Yan Shaoning was still alone inside, and straight to the point.
Yan Shaoning stood up and said in amazement: "The money is coming so soon? Then, I have already arranged it here. In this case, let's start today~! How is the cement preparation on the factory side?"
Li Zexuan replied: "There is no problem at the workshop, the output of cement can definitely be supplied~!"
Since Qiquge Workshop moved its main production capacity to Meicun~EbookFREE.me~ The output of carriages, scooters, glass, cement and books has gradually increased. Now Qiquge’s supply capacity has been obtained. It has greatly improved, and the scenes where the people looted like before, but disappeared in an instant, have rarely appeared.
This is also the purpose of Li Zexuan's expansion of the workshop. Although hunger marketing can mobilize people's enthusiasm in a short period of time, it will only make people disgusted after a long time. After all, he has also experienced the torture of a certain brand of hunger marketing in his previous life.
Yan Shaoning nodded and said, "That's good~!"
Li Zexuan just swept around and asked with a smile, "Where is Miss Mo in your family?"
"She has been at the workshop recently, ask the master of the workshop to help her make the lens~!"
Yan Shaoning replied subconsciously, but he instantly reacted to Li Zexuan’s ill-spoken language, and hurriedly cursed:
Damn, what is our girl Mo? Don’t you guys don’t talk nonsense and ruin Miss Mo’s reputation. At that time, Mr. Mo will have to settle the account with you~!"
Li Zexuan laughed and went back out. His words were left in the air, "Haha, Mr. Mo will probably come to you instead of me when that happens. Who made you steal the heart of your daughter~?"
Yan Shaoning's scarcely embarrassed ears were red. He chased out the door, trying to find Li Zexuan for theory, but there was no shadow of Li Zexuan outside?
This guy could only "pooh" and murmured: "How does this kid think about that stuff all day long? Fortunately, he is still the mountain leader of Yanhuang Academy, he doesn't look like a mountain at all. What a vain teacher~! Oh, getting married? What kind of relationship? How good is it to be free to be alone~!"
