Vol 2 Chapter 763: Currency war

"His Royal Highness, can this thing really replace the copper coin?" In the Shouchun of Yangzhou, the singer Shangshu Lusu Lu Zijing, holding a piece of the same thing as a portrait, is a very beautiful one in Shouchun. Famous building, Hall of Heroes.
"Of course!" Liu Wei also took a piece. Lu Surui’s hand is the Hall of Heroes. It is a man of value, because he is worth a gold, so it is also called a gold banknote.
Liu Wei’s own hand is only worth 5,000 yuan. The portrait above is Liu Wei’s own. Although there is no such sketch in this era, Liu Wei also thinks that the people on this painting and I really have a little imagination.
The tens of thousands of money, the confession of five thousand dollars, and the one who has a thousand dollars, and the ones of five hundred dollars are also there. As for the one hundred yuan, there is no money, then there is no, still Use copper plates to buy and sell transactions.
"His Highness, these things, will not be counterfeited?" Although Zhuge Liang said that he is a big talent, but really have not seen such a thing, with such a small piece of paper instead of the gold and copper coins in his hand? Is this a bit too much fun?
"Imperial? Hehe!" Liu Wei smiled, yes, Liu Wei is thinking about using paper money instead of the original copper coins and gold, because they are too inconvenient to carry, for example, Liu Wei’s Yangzhou Army is and When the Liaodong Gongsundu trading, the amount of the transaction reached more than one million gold, so that those gold would need hundreds of ships to transport from Liaodong to Yangzhou, if it is replaced by a banknote of this kind, According to the tens of thousands of gold bills, only one million is enough.
A piece of paper can have more than one million, I am afraid that a ship will suffice, let alone Liu Wei is also prepared to release the money of the hundred gold and the gold, which is more convenient at that time.
As for counterfeiting, perhaps the appearance of banknotes is indeed with the possibility of counterfeiting, but for Liu Wei, such counterfeiting does not make much sense.
First of all, Liu Wei's paper he used to print paper money is characteristic, or a kind of bleached paper. The texture of this paper is very good. His bleaching process is only owned by Yangzhou and other papers on the market. They are all yellow or with a kind of green, and they are rough and not look at them. The paper in Liu Wei’s hands is made of bamboo from Chuanzhong.
His paper is smooth, so he is not afraid of forgery outside the paper.
In addition, when the above seal is in circulation, Shouchun will send a stamp to each state and county, and each county will send a stamp to each government. The governments will send a stamp to each county, and each county will send a stamp to Qianzhuang. Finally, Qian Zhuang issued a mark to the people, which is an effective anti-counterfeiting measure.
The above numbers also need one-to-one correspondence.
Then there is the punishment for the forgery of banknotes. It has been written into the legal provisions of Yangzhou by Zhuge Liang, the criminal secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The person who should brush the banknotes privately is sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for more than ten thousand yuan. If it is 100,000 yuan, Sentenced exile, lettering.
As for the above 100 gold, do not think about it, directly sentenced to death, Mingzheng.
These three aspects have fallen directly. For a long time, Liu Wei did not dare to say that at least in a short period of time, the normal circulation of these parties can be guaranteed. Not being copied. As for the future things, the materials should be brushed up slowly.
"These are very convenient!" Lu Su nodded. With these intercourses, it is much more convenient for businessmen from all over the world to come and go.
"His Highness, these manipulators print geometry?" It is not a matter of managing money, and Shang Shu, the head of the family there, asked the idea directly. Look at Liu Wei over there, if these ones are wireless printing without restrictions, then Yangzhou will not become the richest person.
Liu Wei shook his head. The printing of these Jiaozi is not so simple. "Zi Fang, how much stock gold does Yangzhou have now?" Liu Wei asked the embarrassment over there.
He took out a bill, which read the stock of gold in Yangzhou Shouchun.
"There is a gold of 1.32 million!" He said to Liu Wei and others.

So little?
Zhuge Liang was a bit skeptical, because some time ago, there was not enough money from the Liaodong to have millions of gold.
"Kong Ming, you don't know if you don't know the richness of the oil and salt!" The sorrow and smile over there shook his head. If you have the entry, you will naturally have a direction. Yangzhou does not need any money, for example, those officials. Salary, this is a lot of money.
The main official Liu Wei is a high-paying and honest-keeping policy. Therefore, those who are officials are all rich people. At least there is no problem in supporting a family. As for what you are, as long as you don’t play anything. Seventy-two squats in the Three Palaces and Sixth House, you can still afford three or four small wives.
These are all taken out by the Yangzhou family.
This is still one of them, and there are those military expenses. Although the military expenses are transferred from the military, the Ministry of Military Affairs has to ask for money from the Ministry of Housing. This is another big expense. Those cannons are worth seeing. Both are distressed.
Then there are the construction of some cities, such as several dams around the city, need to be re-constructed, and some water conservancy facilities, these are the policies of the people, as the road needs money, now Yangzhou The merchants are well-developed, and there are countless merchants. The original official roads are no longer suitable for use now, so they need to be broadened and re-reinforced. This is also money.
So millions of gold simply couldn’t last long and they were dispersed.
"One hundred and three hundred and two thousand gold!" Liu Wei said to the swearing words on the side, "So I should give me a gold ticket of 1.32 million gold!"
"Ah!" Tian Feng on the side has never spoken. Now I heard the protagonist Liu Wei’s words, and I couldn’t help but frown. "Your Highness, we have 1.32 million gold, we should only brush one hundred." The donation of 320,000 yuan? Is this a waste of money! "Tian Feng asked doubtfully.
This banknote is not a gold or copper coin. It is a risk of being forged. But now it is only the same as gold, so it is not worth it for convenience.
"Mr. Yuan Zhen, don't worry! Our courage will only appear. I am afraid that no one will use it. So we must come one-on-one. We have one gold and one gold, and there are ten gold." Ten gold, there are hundreds of thousands of people who will send out hundreds of thousands of friends! This way, we can establish the integrity of the Jiaozi! "Liu Xiao smiled and said to Tian Feng.
This is a new thing, everyone may not accept it at once, because my hard-earned gold suddenly became such a piece of paper, no matter who was unacceptable at first, waiting for everyone to accept it. .
Then I can brush more. Of course, it is impossible to print without limit. In this way, the banknotes you printed are worthy of depreciation. Finally, it is your own regret that the inflation is unfortunate.
Not too much, but we can brush at a ratio of one to three.
For example, if I have a million gold, I will be able to brush out 3 million yuan of friends. As long as everyone is not crazy, I will be able to guarantee my credit, so I will be equivalent. There are three million gold that can be bought on the market. When I earn 3 million gold, I will send another nine million gold, so that I will only accumulate more and more.
Of course, making money is one thing. What Liu Wei wants is to control the hard currency of gold in his hands. Waiting for the confidant to circulate in the hands of everyone, such a thing that is convenient to carry and not devalued, who does not like it. Well, everyone will not be stupid any more, with a dozen large boxes filled with gold to buy things.
It only suffices to have a stack of crosses.
How do you get the confession? Naturally, you need to come to me with the gold in your hands to call. Under this circumstance, you have a hand in your hands, and gold in my treasury.
Then your financial power is in my hands, and most of the gold is slowly coming to our treasury.
Once I declare that the confession is gone, then you are waiting to see a pile of waste paper to cry.
"This is a very good plan!" Several foxes on the other side suddenly illuminate their eyes. Once the enemy has begun to use the cross-section on a large scale, then it is really financial power to teach them Yangzhou.
"But your Majesty, how do you guarantee that everyone will use your friends? If the people are not willing?" Lu Su stood up and expressed his different views.
"This will take time! It is also necessary for us to enforce the implementation, Zifang!" Liu Wei looked at the side of the shackles.
"in!"
"Is the salary of the officials this month, and whether the grain of the soldiers have not been released yet?" Liu Wei looked at the beggar over there.
"Yes!" He nodded. Every month's salary and food are a big head, and he is very worried.
"The salary of all the officials of this month and the grain of the soldiers are all replaced by the mate!" Liu Wei ordered the swearing.
"Ah!" Hey a little bit of "His Royal Highness, if these soldiers, they don't want to?"
"I don't want to have to use it!" Liu Wei has made up his mind to change the currency.
"Your Majesty, officials are okay, those soldiers, it is hard to say, after all, they do not understand the good intentions of their Majesty, if they are provoked by the people, it will be a turmoil for me Yangzhou!" The old-fashioned Tian Feng said.
"Well?!" Liu Wei frowned. He really didn't think about it, but it was easy. "If those big soldiers don't want to, then they can let them go to the gold bars everywhere to accept the bonds in their hands." How many acceptances are given to them!"
"Yes!" In this case, there is no big problem.
The people discussed it according to the details of some of the announcements, and it took a long time for this to leave.
After a few days, there is a new thing in the various cities of Yangzhou. It is Jinxing. This gold bank is not the other, but a money house opened by the government. All the money can be put into the bank if you I think that the home is not safe and can be put in.
Of course, this gold line is not the kind of past life that gives you interest, interest is not, but it is free to keep you money, if you want, you can pick it up!
After a few more days, Yangzhou began to pay salaries and issued various kinds of rewards.
There are people who have built roads and repaired dykes. There are those who have swords and swords, and those officials who are officials. But what they got this time is not the food of white flowers or the gold of gold, but a piece of paper. Ink paper.
"What is this thing!" The first reaction of everyone is this.
"You, everyone! You listen to me, this is the new money that our Royal Highness sent to us! These things are called Jiaozi. You look at this one in my hand, which is printed on my Yangzhou. The flag of the camp, he is worth a hundred dollars!" Everywhere there are people who send the family to the past to explain to everyone.
"One hundred dollars, just a piece of paper worth a hundred dollars? You are not crazy!" A common people are not willing, I worked hard for you for half a year, I was thinking of collecting money to go back and buy a good field. , buy some tools to go home.
But now, the money is gone, it becomes such a broken paper, although the paper is very comfortable to touch, but the paper is paper. So everyone is very dissatisfied.
"This brother, I am doing what you are doing, boxing you, how can I drop more pieces of meat, you guys, don't you say that the rewards you send are these ones, that is, all of our officials are also I got this stuff!" The head of the household who said this explanation took out a few notes from his pocket.
Printed on it is a thousand dollars, a total of two, is his moon.
"Those big men are also sending this stuff?" Some people are a bit like each other. After all, the royal king of the king has really not owed wages and wages to the people. They must be taught to the people. If anyone is corrupt The money of the people, Liu Wei’s big knife in his hand can’t agree.
"That is of course!" The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took out the money in their hands, and the flag of the Yangzhou City Management Army was painted on it.
"Can this thing buy something?" someone asked. ,
"This can naturally buy things!" the cadre official explained.
Immediately, there were ordinary people who wanted to buy a few meat buns with another stall vendor on the side. He used to be reluctant to eat. This time he had ten openings, three for one, and ten for thirty. A piece of money for the money to let this trade to find him seventy.
The business is crying and ruined. The ten big buns of the big business he wants to do, but he has to have money to find it, and there is also a concern that he does not dare to confirm that this is called a friend of the game. Use it, if it doesn't work, will his small business be finished?
"Look, you see, this is not useful, or give us big money, we want copper coins!"
"You, you, you see how convenient this is!" As long as this one is worth a hundred words! "The cadre officials said bitterly.
"We don't want to be convenient. We only need our big money!" The people simply don't buy it.
It is useless for your cadre officials to say that they have broken their mouths.
The cadre official took a sip of water, so there is a way to go to the prince of the king! Otherwise, he really can't come to Taiwan. "Okay, well, don't make any noise, don't make trouble, don't you just ask for money? Good! Give it to you, take your friends! Do you know the gold in the city? "The cadre officials asked the people below.
"Know!" This gold line is a new thing. Many people have already tasted it. If you put the money in, you will not be afraid to put it at home. If you don’t have a gold bank, you can lose it if you have a bill. your.
"Go to the gold line, take your friends, your confession says how much value, then you can redeem how much money from that gold line!" the cadre official explained.
When Liu Wei and others discussed it, they were afraid that those ordinary people would not buy it, so this took out the alternative. If you don’t want to abandon the copper coin, you feel that it is not good, good! Then you go to the gold line to exchange, how much I will give you how much.
"Okay, let's go to Jinxing! We want big money, don't want this one!" the people shouted loudly.
"Yeah, we don't want to pay the children, we have to pay big money, go with them, go together!" The swarm of people all flocked to the gold line in the city.
The cadre officials couldn’t help but feel relieved. He took out two confessions from his own arms, and he couldn’t help but wonder. This gadget can really exchange two thousand big money.
The gold banks in the various localities seem to have been prepared as early as possible. All the gates are open. The armed police officers armed with armor are armed with the swords. This is to prevent some people from rushing to grab the gold. of.
Even so, the influx of those people still caused them to eat a lot, because there are too many people.
Fortunately, they are also hard-working and hard-working, so how many people will give them a lot of money.
This thought of redeeming the people suddenly began to change. From the beginning, no one believed that the paper-cut paper was useless, or changed the money, and slowly arrived at the present. It seems to be quite valuable.
Because as long as someone wants to redeem, the gold bars in all places are exchanged. No matter how much you are, you are a hundred dollars. I will give you one hundred copper plates. You are a thousand dollars, that is one thousand, copper plates, this one. There are many people who don't believe.
Therefore, the team is very long, even if the efficiency of the gold line is too fast, it can not hold the exchange of so many people.
When the team grows up in the world, it will be delayed. The people behind will see that they want to exchange big money at least tomorrow. Look again, as long as there are people who have a good relationship, the gold line is all redeemed,
Therefore, the heart that was very urgent to exchange at the beginning stopped.
Looking at the endless team, think about it, this confession seems to be worth the money, come back tomorrow.
So many individuals have begun to leave.
On the second day, there are still cases where you don’t believe in coming to exchange big money. The gold banks everywhere don’t push away. How much is your face value?
In this way, after seven or eight days, there were fewer people at the door of Jinxing, and there were not so many people who went to exchange big money.
Because everyone seems to have found out that this is called a funeral as long as you have, you can go to the gold line anytime, anywhere to exchange big money gold.
In this case, can't I wait for the exchange? Or, for example, a trader, he has a hand in the hands of a city, do not worry about going to exchange big money to go to another city to buy and sell.
Instead of redeeming it now, I would rather wait for the city to go to the city, and then I will go to the gold bank of the city to redeem the party.
In this way, the credibility of the slower Jiaozi is getting higher and higher, and the merchants, especially the merchants with relatively large transactions, are more welcoming this kind of thing called Jiaozi.
Because he is slack and convenient, and the value is still stable, if you don't worry, you can exchange the same big money and gold in the gold line of any city in Yangzhou.
In the long run, go to the restaurant, go to the hotel, buy goods, buy food, unless it is too small, for example, to buy a bun three money, otherwise if it is more than one hundred dollars, if you do not have to pay, but with A string of copper coins to go to buy and sell is a joke that will suffer from the big guy. This fool has a convenient hand, so you have to use that heavy copper coin.
Liu Wei listened to his hand and gave him a smile on his face.
"Hey, the Lord doesn't know when it's so happy!" Xu Wei just walked in and saw that he and Liu Wei were there, and they couldn't help but ask.
"Yuan straight, you are just right, I plan to start brushing a new one!" Liu Wei saw Xu Wei talking to Xu Wei, this should be a brush, but Liu Wei can do it alone. Must bring the internal phase Xu Wei and six books together.
Because Liu Wei also knows that he is not a sage, there will always be mistakes. If he is fascinated, Xu Wei can help him to turn back. If he decides himself, if he is wrong, he will not be able to repent.
"Oh? So to say that the exchange of the son in Yangzhou is very smooth?" Xu Wei also asked with a happy color.
"You asked Zifang, Zifang, you tell Yuan Yuan!" Liu Wei said.
"The prime minister, according to the Jinxing from all over Yangzhou, the exchange rate of the Jiaozi is much less than that before the dozens of days. Now, at most ten people who enter the gold line, only ten people have to pay the bill." Turning into gold, 30 out of the remaining 90 people are going to change the gold in the hands of the gods! "Ten people are more than thirty people. As long as they are mathematically qualified, they can basically count. come out.
The Jiaozi is getting more and more accepted by everyone.
What Liu Wei wants is this effect. Only after letting everyone trust the Jiaozi, after the Jiaozi has a credibility, Liu Wei can further print the party to maximize his own profits! R1152
