"Your Highness, can this thing really replace copper coins?" In Shouchun, Yangzhou, Lu Su Lu Zijing, the Minister of Personnel, was holding objects like portraits in his hand. The paintings were a very famous building in Shouchun, the Hall of Heroes.

"Of course!" Liu Mang also took a picture. Lu Su Lu Zijing's hand was the Hall of Heroes, Jiaozi with a value of ten thousand yuan. Because he was worth one gold, it was also called gold banknotes.

The one in Liu Mang's hand was only worth 5,000 yuan, and the portrait on it was Liu Mang himself. Although there was no such way of drawing in this era, Liu Mang also felt that the person on it was really imagining with him.

There are Jiaozi for ten thousand yuan, Jiaozi for five thousand yuan, Jiaozi for one thousand yuan, Jiaozi for five hundred yuan, Jiaozi for five hundred yuan, and there are also Jiaozi for hundreds of yuan, and there are also hundreds of yuan, and there are no more. You still have to use copper coins to buy, sell and trade.

"Your Highness, these things will not be counterfeited?" Although Zhuge Liang was a talented person, he had never seen such a thing before. Using such a small piece of paper instead of the gold and copper coins in his hand? Isn't this a bit too much?

"Counterfeit? Haha!" Liu Mang smiled. Yes, Liu Mang was thinking of using paper money to replace the original copper coins and gold, because it was too inconvenient for them to carry. For example, when Liu Mang's Yangzhou army traded with Gongsundu, Liaodong, the amount of transaction reached more than one million gold. In this way, those golds needed hundreds of ships to transport them from Liaodong to Yangzhou. If it was replaced with a banknote with such a word, based on the tens of thousands of gold bills, only one million pieces would be enough.

How heavy can a piece of paper be? One million pieces, I'm afraid a ship is enough, not to mention that Liu Mang is also planning to release Jiaozi, who is a hundred gold and a thousand gold, which will be even more convenient at that time.

As for counterfeiting, perhaps the appearance of paper money does have the possibility of counterfeiting, but for Liu Mang, such counterfeiting is of little significance.

First of all, the paper that Liu Mang used to print banknotes is of characteristic, or a kind of bleaching paper. This paper has a good texture and only his bleaching technology is available in Yangzhou. Other papers on the market are yellow or green, and they are rough and can't be seen when they touch. The paper in Liu Mang's hand is made of bamboo in Sichuan.

His paper is smooth, so he is not afraid of others forging it outside the materials used on the paper.

Also, when the seals on it are circulated, Shouchun will send a mark to each prefecture and county, each prefecture and county will send a mark to each prefecture and county, each prefecture and county will send a mark to each county, each county will send a mark to the bank, and finally the bank will send a mark to the public. This is an effective anti-counterfeiting marking measure.

The numbers above also need to correspond one by one.

Then there is the punishment for forging paper money. Zhuge Liang, the Minister of Justice, has been written into the legal provisions of Yangzhou. Those who should use paper money privately will be sentenced to ten years in prison for more than 10,000 yuan. If it is 100,000 yuan, they will be sentenced to exile and engraved.

As for those with more than 100 gold coins, there is no need to think about it, and the death penalty is directly punished and the Ming Zhengpao punishment.

These three aspects are directly fallen, and Liu Mang dared not say that for a long time. At least in a short period of time, the normal circulation of these jungle pieces can be ensured without being imitated. As for future matters, the materials and brushing will gradually improve.

"These Jiaozi are very convenient!" Lu Su nodded. With these Jiaozi, it would be much more convenient for merchants from all over the world to get along.

"Your Highness, how many of these Jiaozi printed?" As a matter of being in charge of money, Mi Zhu, the Minister of Revenue over there, asked the idea directly. Mi Zhu looked at Liu Mang over there. If these Jiaozi were unrestricted to print wirelessly, then Yangzhou would become the richest person.

Liu Mang shook his head. The printing of these Jiaozi is not that simple. "Zifang, how much gold is in stock in Yangzhou now?" Liu Mang asked Mi Zhu over there.

Mi Zhu took out a bill, which stated the current gold inventory in Shouchun, Yangzhou.

"There is 1.32 million gold!" Mi Zhu said to Liu Mang and others.

"So little?" Zhuge Liang was a little suspicious, because some time ago, there were millions of gold inputs from the Liaodong area.

"Kongming, you are not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive it is to be rich and oily!" Mi Zhu on the other side smiled bitterly and shook his head. If you have an investment, you will naturally have a way out. Where can you do not have money in Yangzhou? For example, the salary of those officials is a large amount of money.

The lord Liu Mang implemented a policy of high salaries to support integrity, so those officials are all rich people, and at least there is no problem to support a family. As for taking concubines, as long as you don’t play with the three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, you can still afford to marry three or four wives.

All of these are required to be taken out by Yangzhou’s Ministry of Revenue.

This is one of them, and there are those military expenses. Although the military expenses are allocated from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue. This is another big expense. Those cannons and other things make Mi Zhu feel very distressed.

Then there are some cities to build, such as the several dams around the city that need to be re-reinforced and built, as well as some water conservancy facilities. These are policies that benefit the people. As for the roads, it requires even more money. Now Yangzhou's commercial roads are well developed, and there are countless merchants coming and going. The original official roads are no longer suitable for use now, so they need to be broadened and reinforced. This is also money.

So millions of gold couldn't last long and were dispersed.

"One,320,000 gold!" Liu Mang said to Mi Zhu next to him, "Then I should give me a gold ticket of 1,320,000 gold!"

"Ahhh!" Tian Feng next to him had never spoken. Now that he heard what his lord Liu Mang said, he couldn't help but frown. Your Highness, we have 1.32 million gold, so we should only spend 1.32 million gold Jiaozi? Isn't this a waste? "Tian Feng asked in confusion.

This banknote is not gold or copper coins. It is risking being forged, but now it is only equivalent to gold, so it is not worth it just for convenience.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, don't be anxious! Our Jiaozi appears, and we are afraid that no one will use it. Therefore, we must come one on one. We will give one gold if we have one gold, Jiaozi if we have ten gold, and hundreds of thousands of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of Jiaozi if we have hundreds of them! Only in this way can we establish Jiaozi's integrity! "Liu Mang said to Tian Feng with a smile.

This Jiaozi is a new thing, and everyone may not accept it at once, because the gold I have worked hard to make suddenly became such a piece of paper. No matter who can accept it at the beginning, it will be difficult for everyone to accept it.

Then I can apply more, of course it is impossible to print unlimitedly. In this way, the banknotes you print will depreciate, and the one who regrets causing inflation will be unlucky.

It cannot be too much, but we can do it according to a one-to-three ratio.

For example, if I have one million gold, I can get three million Jiaozi. As long as everyone is crazy, I can guarantee my Jiaozi's credibility. In this way, I have three million gold to buy things on the market. When I make three million gold, I will pay another nine million Jiaozi. In this way, I will only accumulate more and more.

Of course, making money is one thing. What Liu Mang wants is to control the hard currency of gold, and wait for Jiaozi to be used to circulating in everyone's hands. Who doesn't like such a thing that is easy to carry and not depreciate? So everyone will not be stupid anymore. They bring more than a dozen large boxes full of gold before buying things.

Just a stack of interlaced pieces is enough.

How can Jiaozi get it? Naturally, you need to use the gold in your hand to come to me and call me. As one goes up and down, what you are in your hand is Jiaozi, and what you are in my treasury is gold.

Then your financial power will be in my hands, and gradually most of the gold will be in our treasury.

Once I declare that Jiaozi is not needed, then you can just wait and see a pile of waste paper and cry.

"This plan is very good!" The foxes on the other side suddenly glowed their eyes. Once the enemy also began to use Jiaozi on a large scale, then it is really true that the financial power will be taught to them Yangzhou.

"But Your Majesty, how do you guarantee that everyone will use your friends? What if the people don't want to?" Lu Su stood up and expressed his different opinions.

"This takes time! It also requires us to enforce it, Zifang!" Liu Mang looked at Mi Zhu next to him.

"exist!"

"Have the salaries of officials this month and the food and salary of those soldiers not been paid yet?" Liu Mang asked, looking at Mi Zhu over there.

"Yes!" Mi Zhu nodded. His monthly salary and food pay were just a big boss, which gave Mi Zhu a headache.

"The salary of all officials this month and the food and salary of the soldiers are all replaced by Jiaozi!" Liu Mang ordered Mi Zhu.

"Ahhhh!" Mi Zhu was a little stunned, "Your Highness, what if these soldiers don't want them?"

"If you don't want to, you have to use it!" Liu Mang had already made up his mind to change the value of the currency.

"Your Majesty, the officials are fine, but it's hard to say about those soldiers. After all, they don't understand Your Majesty's good intentions. If you are provoked by someone with a heart, it will be a turmoil for my Yangzhou!" Tian Feng, who was a mature and persistent person, said.

"Well?!" Liu Mang frowned and he really didn't think of this, but it was easy to deal with. If those big-headed soldiers were unwilling, then they could go to the local gold shops to accept the Jiaozi in their hands! How much do they accept to them!"

"Yes!" There is no big problem in this way.

Everyone discussed some of the details released, and then left after a long time.

A few days later, a new thing appeared among the cities in Yangzhou, which was the gold store. This gold store was not anything else, but a money house opened by the government. Everyone's money can be put into the money house. If you think your home is not safe, you can also put it in.

Of course, this financial store is not the kind of person who gave you interest in his previous life. There is no interest, but it keeps you free of charge. You can get it as you want!

A few days later, Yangzhou began to pay salaries and pay various remunerations.

There were ordinary people who built roads and embankments, soldiers carrying swords and officials, but what they received this time was not white food or gold, but ink paper.

"What's this thing!" Everyone's first reaction was like this.

"Everyone, everyone! Listen to me, this is the new money given to us by our King of Shu! These things are called Jiaozi. Look at the one in my hand. It is printed with the military flag of my Yangzhou camp. It is worth one hundred yuan!" There are people sent by the Ministry of Revenue in various places to explain to everyone.

"One hundred coins, just one broken paper is worth one hundred coins? Are you crazy about me?" An ordinary person was unwilling to do it. I worked hard for you for half a year. I originally wanted to get a hundred coins and buy a good field, and buy some tools to go home.

But now, the hundred dollars have disappeared and it has become such a broken paper. Although this paper is very comfortable to touch, it is just paper. So everyone is very dissatisfied.

"Brother, I'm going to cover you, why can I have another piece of meat? You guys, don't you say that the reward you are given is these kids, and even we officials and officials give this thing!" As he said this, the official of the Ministry of Revenue took out a few kids from his pocket.

The printed one is a thousand coins, a total of two, which is his monthly salary.

"Those big men also gave this thing?" Some people are a bit similar. After all, His Highness the King of Shu has never owed salary and the people's wages. They must be taught step by step. If someone corrupts the people's money, Liu Mang's big knife will not agree.

"Of course!" An official from the Ministry of Personnel took out the thousand coins in his hand, and the battle flag of the Yangzhou Urban Management Army was painted on it.

"Can this thing buy something?" someone asked.

"This is naturally something you can buy!" explained the official of the Ministry of Personnel.

Immediately, some ordinary people wanted to buy a few meat buns with another vendor standing by next to him. He used to be reluctant to eat them, but this time he asked for ten, three cents per person, and ten cents per person, and ten cents per person. He gave a hundred cents a piece of Jiaozi and asked him to do business and find seventy cents for him.

This businessman is sad. He wants to do this big business of ten buns, but he has to have money to find. And he has another concern that he doesn't dare to confirm whether this thing called Jiaozi works. If it doesn't work, wouldn't his small business be over?

"Look, look, this Jiaozi is useless, so we should give us a lot of money, we want copper coins!"

"Everyone, everyone, look how convenient this friend is! Just one piece is worth a hundred cigars!" said the official of the Ministry of Personnel with great sincerity.

"We don't want convenience, we only need our big money!" The people don't buy it at all.

It is useless to just say it to the official of the Ministry of Personnel.

This official of the Ministry of Personnel took a sip of water, fortunately, Your Highness the King of Shu had a solution! Otherwise, he wouldn't really be able to come to Taiwan. "Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, don't you just want money? Okay! Give it to you and bring your friends! Do you know the gold store in the city?" The official of the Ministry of Personnel asked the people below.

"I know!" This gold store is a new thing. Many people have tried it out. If you deposit the money in, you won't be afraid of not leaving it at home. If the gold store is gone, you can pay you the bills as long as you are in the house.

"Go to the gold store and take your Jiaozi. Your Jiaozi says how much value is written on it, so you can exchange how much money you have from that gold store!" an official from the Ministry of Personnel explained.

When Liu Mang and others discussed, they were afraid that the people would not buy it, so they came up with a backup solution. If you don’t dislike the heavy copper coins, you think it’s not good to have good friends! Then you go to the gold store to exchange them, and I will give you as much money as the above value.

"Okay, let's go to the Jinxing now! We want big money, don't want this guy!" the people shouted loudly.

"Yes, we don't want to have a lot of money, go together, go together!" The common people all rushed into the gold shop in the city over there.

The official of the Ministry of Personnel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He took out two jackpots from his arms, and he couldn't help but wonder that this gadget could really be exchanged for two thousand big money.

The Jinxing in various places and prefectures seemed to have been prepared. The doors were opened one by one. The armed police officers wearing armor with swords on their bodies, which was to prevent anyone from raising the robbery of the Jinxing.

Even so, the influx of those people still made them eat a pound because there were too many people.

Fortunately, they have worked hard and worked hard, so they exchanged as much money as the people.

The idea of ​​exchanging this for the people suddenly changed. From the beginning, no one believed it, thinking that the broken paper was useless at all, and it was really worth it after exchanging a lot of money. Gradually, Jiaozi seems to be quite valuable now.

Because as long as someone wants to exchange it, the gold stores in various places will be exchanged. No matter how much you are, you are a hundred coins. I will give you a hundred coins. If you are a thousand coins, that is a thousand coins. There are many people who don’t believe in this.

So the team is very long, and even if the Jinshang is very efficient, it cannot withstand the exchanges of so many people.

The team was delayed after growing up. If the people behind him saw that they wanted to exchange big money, they would at least have to tomorrow. Look at it, as long as there are people with Jiaozi, the gold store will be exchanged.

So at the beginning, this heart that was very urgent to exchange stopped.
To be continued...
