"Strong, aphrodisiac wine?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. When he saw Yuzhang for the first time after returning from Jiangnan, the other party used such a strong thing to deal with him. Not long after he drank it, he only felt that his whole body was hot and uncomfortable.
It was time for the other party to see what it meant to be a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage. Qin Huaidao no longer concealed his true thoughts, boldly took off his clothes, and went to Wushan with Yu Zhang's hand.
After half a day and many rounds of fighting between heaven and man, Qin Huaidao walked out of Yuzhang's palace tiredly. The government affairs had not been completely dealt with, so he had no time to relax yet.
After finishing many matters, Qin Huaidao took time to explain relevant matters to the people who were transferred from the Ministry of State.
The content of the talk was nothing more than the authority, responsibilities and important responsibilities of the representatives of the Ministry of State, etc. In addition, Qin Huaidao also told them one by one about the hidden skills of various officials in the local area, such as corruption and bribery.
, In the following days, he worked in the palace and state affairs department, and from time to time he would go to Daye City to see the progress in the city.
On Zhao Wenshu's side, when the division of various sections of the entire Changhang-Hangzhou Highway was initially sorted out, Li Jingtai came to visit with the funds he had raised from various places. The money was used to build industrial cities and build roads in various sections.
Although the money is not completely enough, with the cooperation of the two of them, they can make money while building and exchange space with time. In this way, the cost of road construction can be completely covered.
Thanks to Wang Xuance's efficient promotion of the banknote policy, Zhao Wenshu and Li Jingtai felt a lot more relaxed. Originally, not only did they need enough space to store hundreds of millions of taels of silver, but they also had to be wary of thieves coming to snatch them. Now that's better.
Wang Xuance used various prefectures along the highway construction area as a pilot project to collect silver and establish banknotes in various places. After issuing a large amount of banknotes, Zhao Wenshu no longer worried about where to put so much silver. All the problems could be solved through banknotes.
.
When the state and government learned about the emergence of banknotes, they first had various worries. After more than a month, they found that banknotes were not only safe and convenient to use, but also difficult to counterfeit. Compared with the use of silver, they were much more convenient.
There was a trend of using banknotes in the construction areas along the roads.
Henanfu Market.
A man from Longyou Dao came to Henan Prefecture for the first time and planned to buy some fine grass to feed his horses. After negotiating the price with the boss, he took out some silver and prepared to hand it over to the boss. The boss refused repeatedly when he saw that it was just silver.
"Sir, this place no longer accepts cash. Please collect the money or hand it over to Henan Prefecture." The boss reminded him kindly.
This Longyou Taoist was surprised and confused: "If you don't accept money? How do you do business? And why should I hand over my money to Henan Prefecture for no reason? Is your Henan Prefecture so dirty?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, the boss took out a banknote from his bag and handed it to him: "Sir, you have misunderstood. Since His Majesty issued banknotes, everyone in Henan Province has been using the Dahan silver certificates and certificates printed by the government.
The uranium money of the Han Dynasty is a certificate. With these two certificates, you can trade in the market. As for handing over the silver to Henan Prefecture, it is not that Henan Prefecture swallows the guest officer's silver, but through Henan Prefecture, the guest officer can exchange it for
Transactions are conducted on behalf of such persons.”
"A piece of paper?" The Longyou Taoist was a little confused, but after observing the surroundings, he found that everyone was trading in the market with this certificate. Not only was it printed with the official seal of the Han Dynasty Currency Division, but it also read the number of the Han Dynasty Silver Certificate.
When I saw that no one had any silver or copper coins, I led the horses to Henan Mansion with doubts.
In the Henan Mansion, Wang Xuance was learning about the implementation of currency in Henan Mansion. He saw someone coming with a horse with hesitation and asking about money exchange, so he took the initiative to step forward.
"I have seen you, Wang Xuance, of the Department of Currency of the Great Han Dynasty. May I ask if you want to exchange money?" Wang Xuance asked with a smile.
When the people from Longyou Road saw this man coming from Henan Prefecture, they thought he was an official, so they asked: "The common people have seen Shangguan. The grassroots people came from Longyou Road. After entering Henan Prefecture, they found that all the silver was discarded and used as evidence.
, I don’t know why this is so?”
Wang Xuance explained: "Your Majesty is located in Chang'an, but he cares about the people. Since ancient times, silver and copper coins have been precious and must not be lost at all. However, this kind of copper and silver will suffer some loss whether it is in the transaction process or stored in the treasury.
The second loss for the common people is that the future Han Dynasty is about to carry out comprehensive reforms, which requires a large number of various commodities for trade exchanges. If paper money is used, the efficiency can be greatly improved. The most important thing is that this paper money can only be used by the government.
They have the right to issue them, and their value is equal to silver and copper coins. People can exchange these banknotes for silver and copper coins at any time, and they can also exchange them for banknotes at any time."
After his explanation, this person suddenly understood.
"Exchange of silver paper, each as a certificate? Come on, give me a hundred taels first."
"Okay, take it, Your Excellency." After Wang Xuance accepted the silver taels, he ordered someone to put it into the Henan Mansion Bank. He also took out a hundred taels of banknotes and handed them to the person. After taking the banknotes, the Longyou Daoist
He led the horse happily towards the owner who sells sesame grass.
"It's interesting. I want to exchange silver for banknotes. I'll give it a try first. If it works well, I can brag about it back to Longyou Road."
When he came to the boss, he handed over the banknotes. The boss not only brought him the best quality grass, but also gave him an extra bundle. At the same time, he gave him the remaining silver and taels of banknotes.
"Master Fu Yin said that banknotes are newly issued. All merchants who use banknotes will give extra gifts to guests. All gift fees have been distributed to each merchant in advance by Henan Prefecture. Guests, please feel free to accept them."
The Longyou Taoist was stunned for a moment, took the fine grass and left with great joy.
Longyou Road many days later.
Someone loudly recounted his story in the teahouse: "I'm afraid you don't know that no one in Henan Prefecture uses silver anymore. They only need to take a piece of paper and go out to buy whatever they want."
A group of onlookers were confused when they heard: "You can buy something with just a piece of paper? Are you stupid or is the boss stupid?"
The Taoist from Longyou said: "Don't believe it, I bought the food and grass I wanted with just a piece of paper, stayed at an inn, ate delicious food, and even spent a lot of paper on my way back."
A good person walked out of the crowd and handed a piece of ordinary paper to this person: "Since you said that paper can buy things, do you think this piece of paper can buy your horse?"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
If he says he can, then the other party has nothing to lose. If he can't, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
But I saw that this Taoist from Longyou had already prepared. He slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms, with several large characters printed on it.
