Chapter 387

"Ha, that's just an experiment I made on a whim, on impulse. Cheng Dalei straightened his robe and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Why don't you keep doing it?" asked Axi.

"I can't do it. ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"Don't you understand? Cheng Dalei put down the teacup: "The banknotes are too advanced, and the subordinates don't recognize them at all, everything must be based on objective laws, and nothing can be done against the general trend." ”

Ah Xi blinked: "It's not that there is no way, I have a way, and I can't say that it will work." ”

"Young man, huh...... Too naïve. ”

"At the beginning, I was working as a bookkeeper, but I also thought about it, copper coins are inconvenient to carry, if there is something that can replace copper coins. After thinking about it, I really thought of a method, but I didn't have a chance to implement it. ”

"What's the idea?"

"The copper plate is nothing more than a token, in fact, it doesn't matter much whether it is copper or iron, gold or silver. The key is to be convinced by everyone. ”

Cheng Dalei had to look at Ah Xi with admiration, and it was extremely difficult to see this. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, such as Ah Xi in front of him. Of course, it is not difficult to see through the truth, the key is how to do it.

"How?"

Ah Xi said his own way in a few words. The more Cheng Dalei listened, the brighter his eyes became, the implementation of paper money was always his failure, and if this matter was not resolved, Cheng Dalei couldn't swallow this breath.

After listening to Ah Xi's method, Cheng Dalei immediately called He Shen over and immediately began to implement it. Fortunately, the banknotes couldn't be pushed down before, and Cheng Dalei took them back. Now those printed banknotes have returned to Cheng Dalei's hands.

Heshen's execution is very strong, and he came up with a preliminary plan on the same day and began to implement it the next day.

......

Zhu Shuang is a family outside Qinchuan Pass, and further forward, his ancestral home is in Yangzhou. His family had been farming for generations, and the taxes were getting heavier and heavier day by day, and in the end, the land was planted less and less, and all his own fields were sold, and he became a long-term laborer in the landlord's family.

Life was not going well, because the quarrel injured the landlord, and he was afraid that the government would be held responsible, so he escaped with his wife and children, begging along the street to live. On the way, I heard the news released by Qinchuan Pass, so I came to Qinchuan Pass.

Here, he was given fields and houses, and the tools for plowing cattle and farming could also be rented from Qinchuan Pass. He was the first group of people to come to Qinchuan Pass, and the five of them planted more than a dozen acres of land, worked day and night, and caught up with the wind and rain in the past two years, and the harvest was not bad.

After autumn, it is a slack in the farm, and he can rest the following days, and he no longer has to worry about starving to death and freezing to death if he does not have enough to eat in winter.

On this day, the village chief sent a letter informing everyone of the news from Qinchuan Pass.

After Zhu Shuang heard it, he went home to discuss with his wife and children. To put it simply, there is a public granary built in Qinchuan Pass, and everyone can store the grain in Qinchuan Pass, which saves the cost of building a granary and avoids insects and rats.

"Shall we go and store grain?" Zhu Shuang knocked on the cigarette pouch and pot.

He had three sons, all of whom are now adults, and they are good men in the field. The eldest son said: "If this is a good thing, but if we save it, will we not come back?"

"Probably not, if the big boss is really greedy for our grain, he will directly grab it, or increase some taxes, there is no need to use this method. "Zhu Shuang.

"Is there anyone else saving it?" asked Zhu Shuang's wife.

"It's all gone home to discuss, and now no one has an idea, didn't I come back to discuss with you, what should we do?" ”

"Then you go to the city tomorrow to have a look, if there are many people, we will save, if no one save, we will not be in the limelight. ”

At dawn the next day, Zhu Shuang took his three sons into Qinchuan Pass, and found that today's Qinchuan Pass was overcrowded, some drove donkeys, some pulled carts, and each family pulled grain.

When I arrived at the granary, I found that it was even more crowded, and someone was presiding over the storage of grain, overweighing, and transporting it into the granary.

Many of them were shoddy, mixing sand in the rice, and at first a few were beaten severely, and the people behind did not dare to do so.

The matter of storing grain belongs to Heshen, and he is very dark.

Someone had already sent down a voucher for storing grain, and Zhu Shuang also leaned over to look at it and found that it was green and oily, and there were toads printed on it.

"Hey, isn't this something that the big boss issued a long time ago in place of copper coins, why is it a food stamp now?"

Zhu Shuang couldn't help but ask, everyone knows what Cheng Dalei did back then, and he was even ridiculed for a long time.

"Hey, you don't know this, this thing was printed too much at the beginning, and now it's being used as a food stamp. This 100 wen is equal to 100 catties, and 10 wen is equal to 10 catties, you can go to the money village to redeem it, and you can go to get food at any time with this food stamp, but you must not lose it. Saying that, the man carefully put the food stamps in his arms: "If you lose it, it won't be yours." ”

"Hey, this old man, how much did you redeem?"

"Oh, it's only 5,000 catties in total. The maximum is 5,000 catties, and there is a limit to the amount. ”

"And the limit?"

"Of course, with an interest rate of four percent per year, you think this is a good thing that the big boss is begging us, and we are begging the big boss, but now I can't save more. ”

Oops, Zhu Shuang suddenly realized that this hesitation almost missed this good thing. He put away his cigarette pouch and hurried to beckon his three sons home.

"Daddy, what are you going to do now, we're not going to walk around the city anymore. ”

"It's still a fart, hurry home to transport food, and if you don't go back, you won't be able to catch up. ”

Cheng Dalei hid in a room in the distance and watched this scene with cold eyes.

Let everyone use paper money as money, and they will not accept it. But as long as you change your thinking, it will immediately be a situation where everyone is crazy and rushing, and it will hardly take much effort.

Nowadays, people trade goods, and most of them are exchanged for food. After a while, they will naturally use the food stamps as currency, and they will hardly need to push Cheng Dalei for anything.

What Cheng Dalei couldn't do with all his brains was so easily realized. This can be done, and Ah Xi should be the first to take the lead.

Replacing money with paper money can save everyone a lot of trouble. Of course, paper money is still circulated inside the Qinchuan Pass, and the caravans coming from outside still need to trade with gold, silver, rice, etc.

At this time, Ah Xi came over and said, "Big boss, someone wants to see you." ”

"Who?"

"From Liangzhou City, he said that his surname was Zhong, and he is now waiting in the General's Mansion, and it is said that he has important matters to discuss with you. ”

"Let's go, see him go. ”
