Three days later, the first batch of funds raised by the Yanhuang Chamber of
Commerce, 335 thousand units, had all arrived. Seeing a room full of copper
coins, Li Zexuan sighed in his heart:
"The times are too backward~! With more than 300,000 sticks in this mere
trivial amount, a room is a bit too much to fit, and the servants in the house
have counted the money for a long time! Nothing is like modern times, with a
finger on the phone, Whether it’s three hundred thousand or thirty million,
everything arrives instantly! The worst, modern cash is much better than the
copper coins at this time! Eleven thousand one wad, thirty million is a box
thing, no Like now, 300,000 sticks are directly piled up in a room!"
Regarding the currency of this era, Li Zexuan actually doesn't know how many
times he has complained about it in his heart. Just imagine, if you want to
buy a horse in the West Market, you don't have to talk more than a dozen
times. In ancient times, money was basically about three to four kilograms,
and a dozen of them was about forty to fifty kilograms. The weight of copper
used to buy horses was almost equal to the weight of a person. You can imagine
the large transactions in this era. How inconvenient it is.
"Paper currency, paper currency, we must develop paper currency in the
future~!"
Li Zexuan said with emotion.
Modern online payment is still too far away from the level of Tang Dynasty,
but paper money can still be looked forward to.
In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a shadow of banknotes.
According to historical records, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the
Xiongnu for many years, and the treasury was empty. In order to solve
financial difficulties, he made "three baht coins" and "platinum coins" (alloy
coins made of silver and tin). The "White Deerskin Coin" was issued.
The so-called "white deerskin coin" uses the white deerskin of the palace as
the currency material. Each piece of square ruler is painted on the periphery,
and each piece of leather coin has a fixed value of 400,000 yuan. Because its
value is far from the value of the leather coin, the "white deer leather coin"
is only used as a gift between the princes and is not used in the circulation
field. Therefore, it is not a paper currency in the true sense, but can only
be said to be a paper currency. Pioneer.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a currency called "Flying
Money". At that time, it was inconvenient for merchants to bring a large
amount of copper coins to go out for business, so they first went to the
government to issue a voucher that recorded the place and the number of coins,
and then took the voucher to withdraw money and purchase goods in other
places. This voucher was "flying money." "Flying money" is essentially only a
kind of exchange business. It does not intervene in circulation and does not
perform the function of currency, so it is not a real paper currency.
The "Jiaozi" in Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty, was the
beginning of real banknotes.
Why paper money did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, or in dynasties earlier
than the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not
accidental, it is an inevitable product of social, political and economic
development. The development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was
very rapid, and more currency was needed in commodity circulation. At that
time, there was a shortage of copper money, which could not meet the demand in
circulation.
At that time, iron coins were widely used in Sichuan. The iron coins were low
in value and heavy in quantity, making it extremely inconvenient to use. One
copper coin equals ten iron coins. For every thousand iron coins, the weight
is 25 catties for big money and 13 catties for middle money. Buying a piece of
cloth requires iron money of 20,000 yuan, weighing about 500 kilograms, and
requires a car. Therefore, objectively a light currency is needed, which is
also the main reason why banknotes first appeared in Sichuan.
Furthermore, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized
feudal autocratic country, the national currency was not unified. There were
several currency zones, each of which was independent and not universal. At
that time, there were special copper coins for Shisanlu (the administrative
unit in Song Dynasty), four special iron coins, and Shaanxi and Hedong both
used copper and iron coins. Currency outflow is strictly prohibited in various
currency areas, and the use of banknotes can prevent the outflow of copper and
iron money.
In addition, the Song Dynasty government was often attacked by the Liao, Xia,
and Jin, and spent a lot of military and indemnities. It also needed to issue
paper money to make up for the fiscal deficit. A variety of reasons led to the
birth of the paper currency-"Jiaozi".
According to the original history, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to
have banknotes, but now, he, a modern man, has passed through, and he has also
passed through a rich second generation with a wealth of money, so he has to
do something.
After thinking wildly in his mind, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning.
Regarding banknotes, he will do it in the future, but he will definitely not
do it now. This requires time and talents in related fields.
When he came to the academy, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning's office.
"Shaoning! The money for road construction is all in place, so you can arrange
for manpower as soon as possible and start construction~!"
Li Zexuan pushed the door and walked in, seeing that Yan Shaoning was still
alone inside, and straight to the point.
Yan Shaoning stood up and said in amazement: "The money is coming so soon?
Then, I have already arranged it here. In this case, let's start today~! How
is the cement preparation on the factory side?"
Li Zexuan replied: "There is no problem at the workshop, the output of cement
can definitely be supplied~!"
Since Qiquge Workshop moved its main production capacity to
Meicun~www.mtlnovel.com~ The output of carriages, scooters, glass, cement and
books has gradually increased. Now Qiquge’s supply capacity has been obtained.
It has greatly improved, and the scenes where the people looted like before,
but disappeared in an instant, have rarely appeared.
This is also the purpose of Li Zexuan's expansion of the workshop. Although
hunger marketing can mobilize people's enthusiasm in a short period of time,
it will only make people disgusted after a long time. After all, he has also
experienced the torture of a certain brand of hunger marketing in his previous
life.
Yan Shaoning nodded and said, "That's good~!"
Li Zexuan just swept around and asked with a smile, "Where is Miss Mo in your
family?"
"She has been at the workshop recently, ask the master of the workshop to help
her make the lens~!"
Yan Shaoning replied subconsciously, but he instantly reacted to Li Zexuan’s
ill-spoken language, and hurriedly cursed: “Damn, what is our girl Mo? Don’t
you guys don’t talk nonsense and ruin Miss Mo’s reputation. At that time, Mr.
Mo will have to settle the account with you~!"
Li Zexuan laughed and went back out. His words were left in the air, "Haha,
Mr. Mo will probably come to you instead of me when that happens. Who made you
steal the heart of your daughter~?"
Yan Shaoning's scarcely embarrassed ears were red. He chased out the door,
trying to find Li Zexuan for theory, but there was no shadow of Li Zexuan
outside?
This guy could only "pooh" and murmured: "How does this kid think about that
stuff all day long? Fortunately, he is still the mountain leader of Yanhuang
Academy, he doesn't look like a mountain at all. What a vain teacher~! Oh,
getting married? What kind of relationship? How good is it to be free to be
alone~!"
