On this day, the people in the villages around the town got up and rushed to Qingshui Town when it was still dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs soon as the belly white appeared in the east, the streets and alleys of the town came alive, and every household, men and women, rushed along the main street that ran through the east and west of the center of the town to the west of the town. It turned out that today was the day when the monks of the Qingyu Academy, a branch of Confucianism, and the people in the town held an exchange of spiritual grass in the spiritual valley every three months to purchase the spiritual beasts and demon beasts raised by the scattered cultivators. Whether it is Jiaoling Grass, or want to witness the demeanor of the monks of Qingyu Academy, or for other purposes, they all get up early and go to the only designated West Market in the town to catch the market and grab the best position.

If it is said that this summer and spring are not the harvest season, how can the monks of Qingyu Academy buy agricultural products? How can there be food in the hands of the tenant farmers? It turns out that because the prices of agricultural products fluctuate with the seasons, there is a relative change between the buyer's market and the seller's market, so both buyers and sellers want to trade at the most favorable time for themselves, and gradually a market exchange meeting is formed once every three months.

In fact, much of the fertile land around Yuling is owned by Qingyu Academy, which subleases the land to tenant farmers. By virtue of land ownership, the land rent of tenant farmers who rented land was collected in the form of land rent, and the income of the sect was still very rich, and there was still surplus grain to sell when the price of grain was high, and then use the surplus money to carry out land annexation or usury. However, due to the decline of the royal family in recent years, the righteous path is weak, and the demon path is rampant, especially after the failure of the changes promoted by several major sects such as the Mo family the year before last, the situation has become even more confusing, the soldiers are blocked, the materials and personnel are not smooth, and the entire realm gives people a feeling of wind and rain. As a result, the five sects of Yuling were forced to recruit people on a large scale, so that all sects are now short of food. had to buy a large number of Linggu from the outside.

Because in addition to the land occupied by the five sects of Yuling, there are also many lands of local clans around Yuling, as the saying goes: "The imperial power is not under the county, but the clan under the county, and the clans are all autonomous, and the autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics creates squires." After all, the royal family is still in one day, and the rules are still in one day, and the "squire", "village chief", "baojia chief" and others are at the core of the power and economic structure of villages and towns, and the entire village and town are under the control of the "squire", "village head", "baojia chief" and the patriarchal system.

As for the tenant farmers who were already barely enough to make a living, the only remaining spiritual valley in their hands. Wuzong will also find a way to make them willing to trade without damaging their image. After all, the people around Yuling were more prosperous and stable than other places, and as long as they did not starve to death, they also had other needs besides food, and if there was demand, there would be trade, and they would be forced to exchange their only possessions, "rations".

He Yitian, as in the past, had already completed his daily practice and recitation as soon as the dawn moon went and the red sun was rising. Carefully from the broken wellhead, laboriously pumped up a small half bucket of cold well water, the sweet well water into the mouth, originally due to too early and laborious cultivation and a somewhat sleepy and tired look, at this time was also swept away by the coolness of the abdomen, but the emptiness in the abdomen was even worse, he tightened his belt. Then He Yitian washed up again, cleaned up the house, and then began to read his favorite books on soldiers, historians, and Guigu factions, as well as books on formations, alchemy, and refining weapons. Even the ban on the nursing home that is so simple that anyone who has practiced some secular martial arts can break it, He Yitian has observed it dozens of times. This naturally takes up a certain amount of time. For this reason, Uncle Mu also said that he should be honest, duty, kind, and sincere and friendly to others, and it is best not to read these "idle books" now, and it is not too late to read them when he grows up. Since then, He Yitian has never read books such as the Soldiers, the Historians, and the Guigu School in front of Uncle Mu, so as not to let Uncle Mu worry about himself. It's only when Uncle Maku goes out, when he listens quietly to the music mixed with the sound of insects and the breeze that comes into the house from outside the green curtain, he will read some of the "idle books" in Uncle Maku's mouth.

It was noon, He Yitian put down the book in his hand with a loud chirp in his stomach, and gently locked the door and went out. As for the prohibition at home, it has long been stopped because Tongbao Jiaozi is not enough to exchange spirit stones.

Tongbao Jiaozi ...... With the long-term unification and stability of the Tianxin Domain and the development of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, immortal cultivators found it inconvenient to carry a large number of spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper coins; In addition, due to the increase in the number of immortal cultivators year by year, the increase in the demand for immortal cultivation commodities, and the development of the immortal cultivation commodity economy, although the royal coinage has increased the mining and casting of spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper, there is still an increasing shortage of hard currency spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper, which cannot meet the demand in circulation. At this time, some regional sects began to jointly issue paper Jiaozi for the convenience of the people, stipulating a fixed exchange ratio between Jiaozi and spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper coins. So they began to print jiaozi with a uniform denomination and format and distributed them to the market as a new means of circulation. After the royal mint discovered the usefulness of Jiaozi, it began to print Tongbao Jiaozi on a large scale to replace Lingshi, gold, silver, and copper coins, so that Jiaozi really became a currency, with a reserve ratio of 30%, and repeatedly guaranteed that the ratio of Tongbao Jiaozi to hard currency such as spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper coins was fixed, so that the people believed in them and used them with confidence. The seven major sects also followed closely behind the imperial court to issue the Jiaozi of their respective sects. But not all sects are law-abiding and trustworthy. There are some profit-seeking and insatiable sects, maliciously defrauding, opening the sect's big array and closing the door after indiscriminately issuing Jiaozi, or misappropriating savings, so that the Jiaozi cannot be cashed. As a result, the imperial court began to rectify the printing and communication affairs of various sects, and only allowed the royal coinage, the seven major sects and several reputable sects to continue to issue Jiaozi, and the strength of these sects increased greatly because they could issue Jiaozi. However, with the uneven economic development and large-scale land annexation, several civil strife broke out in the territory, and the imperial court and large and small sects all increased military expenditures sharply, and in order to make up for the fiscal deficit, the reserve ratio fell again and again. After the failure of the reform the year before last, the imperial court simply used the power in its hands to issue Jiaozi without restrictions, which eventually caused serious inflation, so that Jiaozi lost its credit. Jiaozi became a tool for them to accumulate wealth, lost the function of circulation, and thus lost the value of its own existence. The imperial court then used the method of changing the name of Jiaozi to Huizi, and exchanged the old and new banknotes at a ratio of 1:6, and continued to plunder the wealth of the people.

At the beginning, Uncle Mu took He Yitian to escape in a hurry, so he only brought Jiaozi with him for convenience.
