Chapter 232 Qianjin buys horse bones(1/2)

Although the people don’t know what the Mingyuan is, they also know that the Mingyuan is definitely not cheap after listening to the conversion ratio.

100 yuan is equal to one tael of silver. How many months does this ordinary family work to save one tael of silver?

Can there really be such free money in this world?

Although this notice was issued by the government office, it is said that there is also the endorsement of His Highness the King of Liao behind it.

But the people were still confused. After all, everyone knew that pie falls from the sky, not every year.

What if this kind of thing is fishing and enforcing the law in this government office?

And if they really give them this hundred yuan, no one dares to make a move casually. If they get the money and do whatever work they want, it would be awful.

To put it bluntly, the people still think that the money will definitely not reach their own hands.

Even if it is in your own hands, can this paper invoice really be worth one or two silver dollars?

Although there were silver notes from the Song Dynasty during the Song Dynasty, this kind of thing appeared.

But the people still know very little about this, so it is naturally not that easy for them to accept paper money at once.

Most ordinary people are naturally full of concerns, but there are also some smart people who can tell if they think about it carefully.

For example, a commoner living in the city of Yingtianfu named Li San, he thought for a while and said to his wife:

"Wife, hurry up and buy two pounds of pork head meat, and then weigh two pounds of good wine. Let's eat meat and drink tomorrow night!"

Li San has no big skills on weekdays, but his mind is still very clear. He can make some money when doing business, but this tael of silver is not a small amount.

And now he swore that he could get the money.

His wife is a timid and cautious person. Today, when she is in the neighborhood, I heard that there are many things that can be exchanged for one or two silver coins with Mingyuan banknotes.

But the neighbors didn't think this was true, and they even said that the government government was fishing.

If anyone dares to collect it, he is afraid he will be arrested. Even if he goes to collect it, he will be afraid that he will not be able to exchange for money if he is not caught.

Li San's wife suddenly became nervous and pulled her husband, but she must not be arrested by the government office for this matter.

After hearing his wife say this, Li San burst into laughter and only threw down one sentence.

"This is all about women's opinions. Haven't you heard the story of a daughter buying a horse bone?"

To be honest, his wife has never heard of the story of buying horse bones with only a fortune.

But no matter what the story is, this reality is reality after all.

However, Li San had already made up his mind. No matter what he said, he had no intention of changing it.

Soon Li San arrived at the yamen. The people I met were quite surprised when they saw Li San and didn’t know what to do.

Li San was not too long-winded, and after he explained his purpose, the others were confused. Unexpectedly, someone came to exchange for the hundred-yuan Mingyuan.

It was just a surprise to everyone. After Li San went to the government office to sign up, he left with a piece of paper.

But when the banknotes were exchanged on the street, no one exchanged them with him. Even if he wanted to buy a candied haw, the vendor selling candied haws on the side of the road would not be able to collect his paper copy.

Many neighbors were talking, look, it turns out that just like what I said, the court did not have such a kind thing to do to the people!

But the next day, when Li San was using paper to exchange silver at the government office, the government office took out a tael of silver to exchange for Li San's 100 yuan.

Others were confused when they saw it. Unexpectedly, Li San actually got a tael of silver from the government office.

After his operation, he basically got a tael of silver without spending a penny.

I went over and received a 100-yuan bill, and the next day I used the 100-yuan bill to exchange for a tael of silver from the government office. Why didn’t I do anything?

What does this mean? It’s really just a waste of money.

And she is not the only one who takes a ounce of silver like Li San for free.

There are hundreds of people in the entire Yingtian Prefecture.

In other words, in just one day, the official yamen gave out hundreds of taels of silver for nothing.

Of course, this is nothing to the finances of the Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Qi could take out the money casually.

But for ordinary people, this was really shocking. They talked about these things one after another, and the neighbors were confused.

I didn't expect that I could really get the money for nothing, but when I go again, it's not that easy to get the money.

The government government issued new rules the next day, and now it will not give away paper money for nothing.

If you want, you can exchange one tael of silver for 200 yuan banknotes, and the 200 yuan banknotes can naturally deduct the value of two taels of silver.

After the rules were made, everyone hesitated again.

So before, the government office gave away hundreds of taels of silver for nothing, but that was just a waste of money.

And now, if you want to pay one or two hundred-dollar bills, you can exchange them for two hundred-dollar bills.

Although the government government said that the hundred yuan banknotes were deducted by the price of two taels of silver.

But I didn't say that I could get two taels of silver in the government office. What if I got the title, the government office refused to admit it, did not give it to the money, or they couldn't spend it outside? Isn't this a tael of silver out of thin air?

Suddenly, the people hesitated again.

Some people say that this is an official bureau. If you give this to the two pieces of silver, you will definitely not be able to get it back. What's the use of copying with two pieces of paper? It's not enough to wipe the paper.

People are very cautious in any place where the people need to spend money.

Of course, I didn't dare to go up and exchange it, but this time, Li San stood up again.

I took the one tael of silver I just got yesterday and went to the government office to exchange for banknotes.

Some people envy Li San for his courage, but more people still say in secret that he is so stupid that he finally earned a tael of silver, but he actually returned it.

However, just when everyone was mocking Li San for being stupid, the next day, he was stunned again.

Li San actually took two more money to the government office and exchanged for the money.

Many people were a little scared when they saw this scene. This government office is something you can go to for ordinary people.

I just went to exchange for one tael of silver before, but now I actually have to exchange for two taels of silver with two bills.

This government office is not a fool. You are making money by nothing, wouldn’t you get another two taels of silver in vain?

Not only were the neighbors scared to see him, but even Li San's wife was a little scared, holding Li San's legs at the door and asking him not to go.

One tael of silver lost, but Li San did not listen to his wife, but said in front of everyone and his wife:

"How could our God-like figures like His Highness, the King of Liao, deceive us ordinary people?

Since these two paper money are worth two taels of silver, it must be worth two taels of silver. I will go to the government to exchange it for him."

After saying that, he ignored the persuasion of others and walked straight to the Guanfu Yamen.

Everyone thought that Li San would definitely be arrested by the government office on the grounds of provoking trouble.

But I found that Li San was coming out happily. Not only did he come out, but there were officials next to him who gave it out together, and there were already two taels of silver on hand.

Good guy, what's going on? You can actually get the money!

Everyone suddenly regretted it. If they had known this, they would have used the one tael of silver on their hands to exchange for two banknotes. They would have come here to exchange for two taels of silver today. After a change of hand, wouldn’t they make a tiny tael of silver in vain?

But it’s useless to regret it any more. Time has passed, and the government office will not accept the fact that one tael of silver is used to exchange for money.

But everyone is very curious about this banknote. What is the origin of this? Can you really exchange money from the government office?

Just when everyone was curious, on the third day, I saw another rule issued by the government office.

It is said that in the next month, all the people could come to the government office with the money they had in their hands, a special department called the banking department, which is the Ming currency, the current official currency of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, you can also get a beautiful gift when you go to the bank to exchange for official currency.

And this exquisite gift is also very real, just a small bag of food.

Of course, the quantity is limited and it will be delivered as soon as possible.

And this time, not only was the 100 yuan bill, but also launched one-yuan banknotes, ten yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes, etc.

These paper money also have money, 20 cents, 10 cents, 100 cents, 200 cents, etc.

The reason why paper money is made into such a small share is mainly because the copper mineral output is very limited these years.

Therefore, if you use paper money instead, you can greatly increase the currency in the market circulation and reduce the copper mineral output to use it in currency. You can practice making other metals.

Besides, the copper coins are so heavy, one hundred or two hundred, it is inconvenient to put them on them.

If a small piece of paper money can be replaced, it is also a very good thing for the people.

Moreover, this amount is not very large, and ordinary people can exchange it. Ordinary people can get a small bag of food by exchanging banknotes a day.

Wouldn't it be nice to take a ten cent to exchange for a one-yuan banknote and a small bag of food?

Anyway, ten cents are not too much, and there is no use.

Suddenly, the bank that had just opened business was crowded with people, all of whom were here to change paper.

After Zhu Qi received the news, he nodded with great relief. It seemed that his strategy was still very successful.

After a while, the people not only learned about paper money, but also felt very at ease about copying paper.

Besides, with such a good reward, the people are naturally willing to exchange the money they have on hand.
