Chapter 231: Five surnames and seven hopes jointly make banknotes, a dirty trick

The news of the banknotes shocked the powerful people in Chang'an City.

On the first day the bank was established, tens of thousands of people exchanged banknotes.

Although the people who redeemed it were mostly out of curiosity and to please the Emperor.

But for the bank, it is already good to have such business on the first day.

That night, Fang Yuan held another Bafang Group meeting to make all Bafang Group's products support the use of banknotes, and all products that use banknotes will receive a 10% discount.

At the same time, at Fang Yuan's request, Changsun Chong, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin all went home to discuss with their fathers, and their stores also implemented this policy.

Naturally, this is true for all the Du family's businesses, including tea and fine salt, which greatly attracts people's interest in using banknotes.

Therefore, in just the next day, the number of banknotes exchanged by tens of thousands of people out of curiosity and to please the Emperor increased to 50,000.

Although the amount exchanged is not large, it is a very big figure for the bank. The bank exchanged a small amount of banknotes for a large amount of copper coins at once.

On the third day, the royal family's business also followed Fang Yuan's policy, and all purchases using banknotes were given a 10% discount, which once again stimulated the people's determination to exchange banknotes.

On that day, almost 100,000 people exchanged banknotes and lined up in front of the bank. The banknotes prepared by the bank were all empty for a while, which Fang Yuan and others did not expect.

At this point, banknotes have been officially promoted in Chang'an City. They are liked by a small number of people and will be used by more people.

Because most of the banknotes exchanged are of large denominations, you will get cash back when buying things.

At this time, I naturally look for banknotes to go back.

Therefore, as you come and go, copper coins are taken into the bank and banknotes are exchanged.

Another point is that the Bafang Group's factory in Chang'an City will also be paid in the form of banknotes.

As time goes by, the impact of paper money can be seen by those who are interested, and it has greatly reduced countless money.

For a time, many people secretly studied banknotes.

One day half a month later, Qiwang of the Five Surnames suddenly announced a major news, that is, they also promoted banks and banknotes!

Their bank has the same function as Fang Yuan's bank, and the face value of their banknotes is the same. The only difference is that there is no portrait of Li Yuan on the banknotes, but some Feng Shui paintings.

In subsequent operations, they are almost all in sync with Fang Yuan's policy. All their stores, even stores not owned by them, will offer a 10% discount for those who use banknotes.

Five Surnames and Seven Hopes jointly launched banks and banknotes, and the momentum instantly surpassed Fang Yuan's bankers and banknotes.

Because the five surnames and seven wishes are spread all over the world, the relationships are very complicated. As long as they want to do something, few things can be successful.

After their banks and banknotes were launched, more aristocratic families moved closer to them, and even a large part of the people moved closer to them.

Fang Yuan's banknotes and banknotes felt like they were going to disappear almost at that moment.

"Husband, dad asked me to tell you, don't lose your sense of proportion."

Du Miaoyan found Fang Yuan and comforted him.

"The Five Surnames and Qi Wang are really amazing."

Fang Yuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

When I was in Bingzhou, I competed with the governor of Bingzhou, but the other party's performance was average.

But now it seems that I seriously underestimated the five surnames and seven hopes. The thousand-year-old family is really extraordinary.

Even if this kind of family has no innovation, like banks and banknotes, as long as they imitate it, countless people will support it, and then the copycats will kill the original creator.

"Master, there is a summons from the palace, and you must enter the palace immediately."

Gouzi found Fang Yuan and reported.

"I'll go to the palace first."

Fang Yuan looked at Du Miaoyan and nodded slightly.

I was too lazy to shower and change clothes, so I went straight to the palace.

Imperial Study Room.

When Fang Yuan arrived, Li Shimin and Li Yuan were also here.

Looking at the eyes of the two of them, they both seemed unhappy. In front of them were the banknotes issued by Qiwang of the Five Surnames.

"Sit down, and you won't have to pay any courtesy."

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and asked Fang Yuan to sit in front of the two of them.

The two of them already had positions in front of them and had been preparing for Fang Yuan for a long time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan was not polite and sat directly in front of the two of them.

"What do you think of the banknotes and banknotes launched by Five Surnames and Qiwang?"

Li Shimin knocked on the table and said in a deep voice.

This move by Qiwang of the Fifth Surname is so cruel, it is a slap in the face of the royal family.

Fang Yuan's bank was opened in the capacity of Chang'an County Government, that is, in the capacity of the imperial court.

But even so, Wu Xing Qi Wang still launched banks and banknotes half a month later.

And they have the support of countless aristocratic families, big and small, and under the aristocratic families there are tenant farmers who depend on them, etc., which is countless support.

After they launched the bank and banknotes, Fang Yuan's bank and banknote business dropped sharply, almost disappearing into the crowd, and the market was occupied by the Five Surnames and Qi Wang.

"Can Your Majesty order the people to only support Datang treasure banknotes?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The banknotes he introduced also have a name, which is Datang Baobao.

"Can't."

Li Shimin's face looked a little ugly.

It was because he couldn't that he called Fang Yuan over.

If possible, he would directly issue an imperial edict to the five surnames and Qiwang.

The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are too powerful. This kind of imperial edict cannot be issued easily, as it will anger them.

From their introduction of banknotes to the stores that responded, we know that they influenced all aspects of Datang.

Once the decree is issued, it will fall out with everyone, and it will be difficult to implement the court's policies in the future.

"Does Your Majesty want to promote Tang Dynasty treasure banknotes?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

As he said that, he took the banknotes pushed out by Qi Wang of the fifth surname.

In terms of workmanship and technology, it is quite different from the Tang Dynasty treasure banknotes.

But the feel is already good, the difference is not much, and it’s acceptable.

"Yes!"

"I also want to ban their banknotes."

Li Shimin said without concealment.

When he was in Liaozhou, Li Shimin didn't think much about paper money, he just cared about being famous throughout the ages.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

But after Fang Yuan officially launched banks and banknotes, Li Shimin deeply felt that there were huge benefits in it.

Not only can it control the economic lifeline of the entire people, but it can also control people's money, making the connection between the people and the court stronger.

From a long-term development perspective, it is beneficial to the court's governance of the people.

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to promote paper money and crack down on the banks and paper money of the Five Surnames and Qiwang.

"Or you can use dirty tricks!"

After Fang Yuan looked at the banknotes with the five surnames and Qi Wang for a while, he said in a deep voice.

"Tell me more about it."

Li Shimin and Li Yuan became interested and asked.

"Fake!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The research and development of Wu Surname Qi Wang's banknotes may have taken less than half a month, and many technologies are not yet in place.

There is no way to compare with the Tang Dynasty treasure banknotes in terms of anti-counterfeiting. With the technology of Juzi and others, there is no problem in counterfeiting their money.

"Fake?!"

Li Shimin and Li Yuan looked at each other and did not continue.

One is the emperor and the other is the Supreme Emperor. Their methods are openly honest.
