Ye County, the city gate of the east gate.

After a notice was posted, countless people were watched immediately.

The yamen runner who posted the notice stood at the bottom of the notice, pointed at the notice, and loudly introduced: "From today, Jizhou will issue paper money. What is paper money? The picture on the notice is very clear. Only paper with a length and width of the hand is the paper money to be launched. This paper money can be used with copper coins. If it is inconvenient to carry copper coins, you can go to the government to exchange copper coins for paper money."

After the yamen runner finished speaking, he left quickly.

The people watching the notice started to make a fuss and talked about the paper money on the notice.

"I personally think that the paper money introduced by the government is useless. I just need to have copper coins in my pocket, and I have copper coins to be down-to-earth. As for the paper money of the government, who knows what purpose it is?"

"Don't let your mother gossip, are you suspicious of the governor?"

"That's right, can we live a good life without the Lord of the State Council?"

"Compared with copper coins, paper money is indeed more convenient. What's more convenient to carry a bag of paper money or copper coins? Besides, this is an order issued by the provincial and ministerial palace. There must be a reason for Wangzhou Mu to do this."

"Yes, support the Lord of the State Council."

"I believe that Lord Zhouzhu will not harm us."

"Hey, I know the news about this." said a fat man in the crowd.

A thin man echoed: "Speak quickly, talk quickly, what is the news?"

The fat man was proud and raised his voice and said loudly: "My brother-in-law is the manager of Lord Tian Feng's mansion. When he was drinking with me, he mentioned that the provincial governor wanted to promote paper money. At that time, I was wondering what paper money was, but now I finally know. My brother-in-law also said that the salary of all officials in Jizhou has been distributed to paper money, and no more food and salary will be distributed."

The thin man said again: "That's true."

"I think it's still inappropriate. If people who sell things don't accept paper money, that's useless."

At this time, someone asked another question.

A Confucian scholar smiled and explained, "Who said it was useless? Zhen Yan, who was responsible for promoting paper money, summoned grain merchants, oil merchants, clothes merchants, and merchants selling clothes in Ye County, and even merchants in Ye County, and all received orders that they must use paper money. You can use money to eat and buy things. Even after paying, it is still paper money."

"That's how it's useful!"

"It must be useful, otherwise, what will the provincial governor promote paper money?"

...

The debate among the people is getting more and more intense.

After the paper money was announced, the entire Ye County seemed to have become a noisy city, and the people in the streets and alleys were talking about the paper money they were promoting.

As time goes by, with the use of the people, coupled with the cooperation of policies and the participation of merchants, paper money is quietly integrated into the lives of the people like spring breeze and rain.

This situation continues to happen in other counties and counties.

A change has been carried out throughout Jizhou.

There are fewer and fewer copper coins on the market, and more and more paper money is replaced.

However, in this process, there were also merchants who could make profits by paper money and then take risks. Unfortunately, at this time, the secret department in charge of Jia Xu and the responsible Zhen Yan kept staring at him.

All businessmen who make fake money are implicated in the three tribes.

The ruthless handling methods and the benefits brought by paper money have gradually made the people get used to it.

Time flies, and February 194 is coming.

At this time, paper money had been completely passed in Jizhou, almost replacing the status of copper coins in Jizhou. However, Zhen Yan, who was in charge of this matter, felt embarrassed.

With doubts, Zhen Yan came to the provincial governor's mansion.

In the study, Wang Lei smiled and said, "How about it, is the promotion of paper money okay?" At this time, Wang Lei had two beards on his lips and black stubble under his jaw. He looked much more mature and had a hint of majesty.

Wang Lei saw the development of Jizhou and was quite proud of it.

Zhen Yan reported: "My lord, the promotion of paper money has achieved unprecedented success. However, I feel that paper money has encountered a bottleneck today. Many bulk trades, a piece of paper money represented by a copper coin, are difficult to use again. Many commercial transactions are transactions of more than one thousand coins, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and each piece of paper money is difficult to satisfy."

Wang Lei frowned and said, "It seems that it's time to print a large amount of paper money."

Zhen Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Did your lord have expected this year long ago?"

Wang Lei smiled and did not answer, but ordered: "This way, from now on, you will let the person in charge of engraving prints out ten, hundreds, and thousands of paper money. Such paper money can be used for small transactions and large transactions. Only a hundred or thousands of paper money must be cautious and cannot flow out in large quantities. Take it slowly, otherwise it will be easy to lose control."

After hearing this, Zhen Yan understood it immediately.

With a smile on his face, Zhen Yan said excitedly: "The lord's advice is really good. If you have a piece of paper money worth 1,000, you can replace a thousand most common paper money. And if you have a piece of one hundred, you can also replace a hundred pieces... If you have more types of paper money, the effect will be better. It is more convenient to use it in parallel."

Wang Lei nodded, and Zhen Yan immediately went to execute.

...

The introduction of large amounts of paper money has reached a new level on Jizhou.

Business in Jizhou is becoming more and more prosperous.

As a result, many businessmen no longer took a pile of gold and silver when they went out. They could hold a pile of large amounts of paper money and traveled all over Jizhou. The business in Jizhou became more and more prosperous, and at this time, the surrounding prefectures and counties were gradually affected. Paper money unique to Jizhou gradually appeared in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.

This situation immediately reflected on the state patriarchal desks in each state.

...

Youzhou, Jixian.

State Palace Mansion, in the hall.

Gongsun Zan sat high above with a serious expression. There was a strong sense of pride in his eyes. Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou, was vulnerable. After being defeated by him, he had become the dead soul under Gongsun Zan's sword.

What made Gongsun Zan angry was that the governor's seal disappeared.

At the same time, Liu Yu's son Liu He was also gone.

Gongsun Zan lost his seal and in anger, he not only killed Liu Yu, but also killed Liu Yu's entire family and all the young and old. All the forces belonging to Liu Yu in Youzhou were killed.

However, Youzhou also has forces hostile to Gongsun Zan.

Liu Yu was killed, Xian Yu Fu, Qi Zhou fled, and then organized soldiers to resist on the northern border.

Guan Jing looked serious and said, "Lord, Xianyufu from Youzhou, Qi Zhou was just a small fight, and it was not a big deal. Instead, Jizhou's moves are very big. Jizhou recently launched paper money, which has a great influence. Many businessmen in our Youzhou have begun to use such paper money. Hu Zhi is worried that Wang Lei is jealous."

Gongsun Zan's eyes turned, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Send the order to block the border, prohibit trade between the two sides, and prevent paper money from Jizhou from flowing into Youzhou."

"promise!"

Guan Jing got the order and went to execute it immediately.
