Chapter 415: The Rise of Paper Money (Fifth Update)

"Man, the face money has been collected." At a stall in the shade on the side of the road outside Chang'an City, a person had just eaten a bowl of fried noodles with water and called out to a man.

In fact, the shopkeeper and the guy are alone, using sorghum flour to make noodles.

On the side of the road, the lentils are chopped and made into a sauce, and they are cooked outside for passers-by.

Wheat noodles are not made, they are expensive, and there are few people who eat them.

He came over and stretched out his hand: "Four coins." ”

"Give you five dollars, and you can find me one money." The diner handed over a five-dollar voucher.

The stall setter picked it up and looked at it, took out a one-dollar exchange voucher from the burlap pocket in front of him and handed it over.

The person who eats receives it, and the transaction between the two parties is completed.

Today is July 15th, the Midyear Festival, and it will be very lively at night.

It has only been six days since Li Zhuangzi took out the exchange coupon, counting the day.

Exchange coupons became popular in Chang'an City, and the Li family Zhuangzi went out to buy things and gave them all exchange coupons.

There are also people who want to exchange copper coins and silk silks, but Li Yi does not change them.

If you change it, the other party was going to buy something, but after the exchange, you can buy it directly with the exchange coupon and enjoy the discount, and Zhuangzi suffers.

However, Zhuangzi advertised in the newspaper that he had to buy a lot of things.

Everything is given a price, whether it is an individual or a merchant, and the same price is charged.

What fish, vinegar, millet, sorghum rice, grass of cattle and horses, fresh vegetables, dried vegetables, beans, bean cakes......

General cereals are large transactions, and you can buy a lot at once.

Like vegetables, when people plant them and bring them to each family, the money given is not as good as selling them alone, but they are in high demand.

The cucumbers are picked and grown, and they are shipped over after picking them one day, and they are directly exchanged for exchange coupons, and they can not be sold by selling them themselves.

At the same time, Zhuangzi collected the mud again and made the mud for the pottery.

The kiln in Wugong County became the Li family Zhuangzi, as Li Yi said, the upper layer was replaced, the middle layer was warned, and the lower level was given processing money.

A few people from Zhuangzi were sent there to oversee and burn more pottery.

Other kilns were firing porcelain, buying glaze from Li's Zhuangzi and shipping it to various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

Another person went to Chang'an to buy glaze from Zhuangzi and brought it back to burn.

The kilns in Wugong County have been firing pottery, mainly jars, and have accumulated a lot and began to exchange them with the people.

The people understood what it meant, and in a few days, the vegetables in the field should be replaced with cabbage.

Take advantage of the present time to make pickles quickly, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat in winter.

At the same time, I also bought vegetables to dry by myself, and soaked them in water in winter to cook.

In various transactions, the Li family Zhuangzi has released 50,000 exchange coupons so far.

It was only after another that more than 8,000 yuan were recovered, and the rest of the money was all circulated outside.

Everyone didn't think that they had to ask for that discount from the Li family Zhuangzi, they just thought that the money was easy to use.

One thousand copper coins weigh six catties and four taels, and it is not light to carry a hundred with you, and you are wearing clothes.

Either hold a few zhang cloth and accidentally get dirty, and the other party will also reduce the price.

Now it's okay, a thousand dollars, a hundred and ten yuan exchange coupons, a stack, carry it and go.

"Proprietor, do you still have exchange vouchers?" Song De was worried that there were 50,000 and more than 40,000 outside.

"Release, put another 50,000 yuan, Jingzhao Mansion has such a population, who can't carry a few dollars on it."

Li Yi is not afraid, the 100,000 yuan of money is outside, and Zhuangzi can bear it.

Zhuangzi sells only those things every day, if he wants to buy more, and Zhuangzi does not promise to buy casually with exchange coupons.

Li Yi was leisurely, copying books.

Behind the yamen of Lantian County, Changsun Xin held four exchange coupons in his hand and found the craftsmen who had been working for half a month.

From the first of June, to now, a month and a half, June is twenty-nine days.

Changsun Xin paid three hundred and fifty-two yuan for this, and if it weren't for the recovery of part of the Yinzi money released before, he would not be able to pay his wages.

He found that the little money he had finally 'saved' was waiting for thousands of workers to pull out the bed and make it, and there were only a few left.

He has to find a way, and the best way is naturally to print money.

"Look, can you make such a voucher? I also want a set of my own. Changsun Xin asked with a smile.

The sixteen craftsmen did not come up to him, glanced up, and shook their heads.

"Inspector of the eldest grandson, we are carpenters, and the exchange of coupons is the work of papersmiths and molders." The leading craftsman gave an answer.

"Engraving isn't a carpenter's job?" Changsun Xin expressed disbelief.

"It's not printed on wood, the set on the voucher is pressed with a heavy object, and it needs copper plates and iron plates, and there are slight convex and dent marks when it is pressed."

The craftsman still shook his head, he couldn't do it.

"There is no need to have that convex or non-convex place, after a long time, the convex and concave ones will be gone, and they are normal prints."

Changsun Xin is still not giving up, he feels that the craftsman is powerful and omnipotent.

"No, you need to engrave it separately, register it, and then apply different colors of ink, one after the other.

The pattern on it is fine, and unless the wood is good and hard enough, it will break when it is pressed.

There is no ink, and when the paper is made, something is added to it, and two layers are added to it. ”

After the craftsman finished speaking, he lowered his head and worked, and his voice was very loud, indicating that he did not want to say any more.

The eldest grandson Xin took a deep breath, took the exchange coupon and left.

"The Li family Zhuangzi can actually print money, and no one cares about it?" The eldest grandson Xin is sad.

Only then did he know that there was such a good way to get money, print it himself, and after printing, someone would be willing to ask for it.

"I draw the money myself, is no one asking for it?"

Changsun Xin looked at the exchange coupon in his hand and muttered, even more depressed.

He just wanted to make the same voucher, and he didn't plan to make a money himself.

He knew that he didn't have that ability, and the people didn't agree.

"Thousands of workers can't stop pulling out the bed, and the money is not enough...... I can check the accounts, find problems, and ask them to give me money, and if I don't give it to me, I won't let them do it. ”

Changsun Xin thought of the people who were mining, and the stones were constantly being transported away, all of which were money.

said that he would pay taxes, but there was an account over there, and he didn't give it to the county yamen.

If you want to check the accounts, there is no excuse.

"I wrote to ask Your Majesty and the prime ministers to agree to try to collect business taxes in Lantian County first."

Changsun Xin clenched his fists and decided, he wanted to push, and then it would be easy to do.

He strode back and walked onto a sunny avenue designed for him by Li Yi.

In the afternoon, he sent the written prime minister's letter to prepare for the midyear festival in the evening.

Tonight is lively, the people will come out, and where there is a river, put lights, and go to the river to see.

The Li family Zhuangzi was also well prepared at this time, and there were beautiful headlamps made of bamboo, which should be placed in the river.

There is also the lotus lantern that uses lotus leaves as a boat for those who are not rich, and it requires a small candle.

For the migrant workers, Song De led people to send a large number of candles, small and thin, to save materials.

As long as it is placed on the lotus leaf, it can burn for a while.

"Brother Yi, what about twenty-five people? It's been closed for half a month, no one answers, and everything is normal in Honglu Temple.

One of the twenty-five of them spoke, and the others followed suit.

Including where the stronghold is, how the orders were received, and how they were arranged. ”

Wang Xing came over, and the people who were arrested were always locked up, waiting, waiting for someone to do something on the side of Honglu Temple.

"It seems that those people have no fear, it should be that they didn't leave a specific handle, and there are words when they are contacted?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, it's just a block letter, I can't see this." Wang Xing was helpless.

"Wait, don't worry, I'll be locked up for another half a month, I'll think about it." Li Yi thought about it and said.
