Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety: The Family is Terrified)
It’s another new year.
During this Chinese New Year, Li Min took Xu Hui home.
Princess Qin Mengxin didn't know much about Xu Hui.
All I know is that she was rescued by Xiang Gong due to illness, and now Xu Hui's father has passed away.
And Xu Hui seems to be working for His Highness.
Although I don't know what to do, it is very helpful to His Highness.
During the Chinese New Year, Wu Meiniang also came back, and the girls were in peace together, which made Li Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
…
After the New Year, Wu Meiniang had made preparations to establish banks and began to establish banks in Yizhou City and Chang'an City.
As for the early stage, Li Min decided to complete the construction of the bank in the entire Jiannan Road.
Then slowly, banks were opened throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this is a slow job and may take several years to complete.
Jiannan Road is now under Li Min's jurisdiction, so naturally he is not afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble.
Chang'an City is an imperial city, and no one dares to touch it.
But on the territory of the Five Surnames and the Seven Hopes, they will definitely use one kind of stumbling block, and it will definitely not be smooth sailing.
Then, Li Min ordered Xia Yuntian, editor-in-chief of Yizhou Monthly Newspaper, to carry out a focused publicity campaign on the bank.
The establishment of banks has no meaning at all for ordinary people.
Anyway, they don't have much money to deposit in the bank, so they can just take a look at this kind of thing.
But for those businessmen, the opening of banks is really great!
With the bank, they no longer need to carry so much money when going out.
Although it can only be used in China Commercial Bank at present, for those big businessmen, who don’t need to deal with China Commercial Bank?
Some big businessmen were immediately moved and prepared to experiment to see if the banknotes were useful.
They exchanged hundreds of banknotes in Chang'an City and decided to try it in Yizhou City.
If it is easy to use, it will be much easier to buy goods next, just use banknotes to make transactions.
If it doesn't work, you can go back to Chang'an to exchange it.
Even if they can't exchange it, it's only a matter of a few hundred coins, and they can't afford to lose money.
Of course, they didn't think that the Chinese Commercial Bank would be so unreliable.
After all, the person standing behind this is the majestic King of Shu.
As for the establishment of the Datang Bank, they did not believe that it had nothing to do with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Many merchants began to exchange banknotes in Chang'an City, and then headed to Yizhou City.
Or exchange banknotes in Yizhou City and go to Chang'an.
Or simply exchange the banknotes at the office first and use them in the Chung Hwa Commercial Bank.
As a result, they discovered that this banknote was really useful.
The people at Chung Hwa Commercial Bank will always accept banknotes.
No matter what goods you buy, you can pay with banknotes.
Moreover, I don’t know what kind of paper this banknote is printed on.
The denominations are divided into one thousand guan, five hundred guan, one hundred guan, fifty guan, ten guan, five guan, two guan and one guan.
The picture on the One Thousand Guan and Five Hundred Guan banknotes is of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
The pictures of one hundred strings and fifty strings represent the city of Chang'an.
Those with ten strings and below, the pictures are the common people of the Tang Dynasty.
The paper used for this banknote is exquisite, not easily damaged, the printing is clear, and the printing is in color.
This level of printing cannot be imitated by anyone else in the current Tang Dynasty.
This banknote quickly became popular after a period of trial use.
It is really inconvenient to pay for large transactions in the past.
But now that we have banknotes, it is so convenient and fast to pay.
Everyone who has used it once said it is good. Gradually, more and more people are using banknotes.
Even those banknotes that are consistent with two, five and ten are now circulated not only within the Chinese Commercial Bank.
Some people took these banknotes to other shops to buy things, and gradually they were able to use them.
This is mainly because the reputation of Zhonghua Commercial Bank is very good, and the amount of banknotes below ten guan is not too large, so they are not very worried.
Gradually, small-denomination banknotes became popular in Chang'an City and Jiannan Road and became the main currency.
After all, you can easily hit the road with a handful of banknotes.
And with ten or eight dollars of money, you still have to carry it on your back or find a car, which is very troublesome.
…
Cui family, Cui Shiniang went to find Cui Zhiji, frowned and said to Cui Zhiji: "Brother, the King of Shu has established the Datang Bank. I am afraid that the five surnames, Qiwang and other aristocratic families will not have a foothold in the future."
Before that, the power of the aristocratic family was extremely huge. They could turn their hands into clouds and rain, and they could secretly control everything.
Their background can completely affect the rise and fall of the dynasty or even its change.
The fall of the former Sui Dynasty was largely due to the power of the aristocratic family.
But now Cui Shiniang said that with the emergence of Qianzhuang, she was afraid that the family would lose such control in the future.
To a certain extent, the aristocratic family can be said to be a deformed cancer, absorbing the flesh and blood of the entire dynasty to continuously strengthen itself.
Are all the rulers of the Li Dynasty willing to let them exist?
In fact, the family's heritage is too deep, and even the rulers do not dare to attack them easily.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for them.
However, what if the aristocratic family once loses this ability?
They have completely turned into a big piece of fat meat with no ability to protect themselves. When the time comes, will they still be able to escape?
Hearing Cui Shiniang's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't accept it for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Shi Niang, it's just a bank. What you say is too alarmist, right?"
Cui Shiniang said quietly: "Brother, the consequences may be more serious than what Shiniang said. Think about it, as soon as the bank was opened, countless businessmen exchanged banknotes, and even many people exchanged banknotes for use."
"Banknotes are so convenient. It perfectly solves the problem of the inconvenience of carrying cash. In this way, the King of Shu will bring all the businessmen and the people who use banknotes into his fold."
What a huge force this is in our camp."
After hearing Cui Shiniang's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but get excited.
Among the five surnames with twice the number of young people in Qiwang, Cui Zhiji is considered a smart person.
But when communicating with Shiniang, Cui Zhiji felt like a fool.
"Shi Niang, it's not as serious as you said, right?"
Cui Shiniang said with a chill: "Brother, do you think that if we are to deal with the King of Shu and the King of Shu falls, is it possible that these banknotes will become a piece of waste paper? Those businessmen and the common people who have banknotes in their hands,
Will they agree?"
After hearing these words, Cui Zhiji's face finally changed color.
Why did this banknote become popular so quickly?
Isn't it all because the person standing behind him is the King of Shu?
Because the King of Shu had a good reputation, the banknotes circulated so quickly.
So, once the King of Shu is finished, these banknotes may become waste paper overnight.
