Three days later, the first batch of funds raised by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce was 335,000 yuan, and all of them had been received. Looking at the room full of copper coins, Li Zexuan secretly sighed in his heart:

"The times are too backward~! This mere 300,000 yuan is a little too much for a room, and the servants in the family have counted the money for most of the day! Where is it like modern, a finger lightly on the mobile phone, whether it is 300,000 or 30 million, all of them will arrive in an instant! The worst thing is that the modern cash is much better than the copper money at this time! 10,000,000,000 is a box, but it's not like now, 300,000 is directly piled up in a room! ”

For the currency of this era, Li Zexuan actually doesn't know how many times he has complained in his heart, just imagine, if you want to go to the West Market to buy a horse, you don't have to say more than a dozen, right? In ancient times, money was basically about three to four kilograms, and more than a dozen was about forty or fifty kilograms, and the weight of the copper coins used to buy horses was almost equivalent to the weight of a person.

"Paper money, paper money, paper money must be developed in the future~!"

Li Zexuan said with emotion.

Modern online payments are still too far from the unfortunate level of the Tang Dynasty, but paper money can still be looked forward to.

In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a shadow of paper money. According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the treasury was empty due to the long-term war with the Xiongnu, and in order to solve the financial difficulties, the "three baht coins" and "white gold coins" (alloy coins made of silver and tin) were minted at the same time, and the "white deer skin coins" were issued.

The so-called "white deer skin coin" is to use the white deer skin of the palace as the coin material, each square foot, painted around, and each leather coin is worth 400,000 yuan. Because its value is far from the value of the leather currency itself, the "white deer skin coin" is only used as a tribute between princes and princes, and is not used in the field of circulation, so it is not a paper money in the real sense, and can only be said to be the pioneer of paper money.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a currency called "flying money". At that time, it was inconvenient for merchants to go out to do business and bring a large amount of copper coins, so they first went to the official to issue a voucher, which recorded the number of places and coins, and then took the voucher to withdraw money and purchase goods in other places, which was "flying money". "Flying money" is essentially only a kind of exchange business, it does not involve in circulation, does not exercise the function of currency, so it is not paper money in the real sense.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Jiaozi" in Chengdu, Sichuan Province was the beginning of real paper money.

It is not accidental that paper money did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, or in dynasties earlier than the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is an inevitable product of socio-political and economic development. The development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was very rapid, and more currency was needed in the circulation of goods, and there was a shortage of copper coins at that time, which could not meet the demand in circulation.

At that time, iron money was used in Sichuan, and the value of iron money was low and heavy, and it was extremely inconvenient to use. One copper coin is worth ten iron coins, and the weight of each thousand iron coins is twenty-five catties for large coins and thirteen catties for medium coins. It costs 20,000 yuan to buy a piece of cloth, weighs about 500 catties, and requires a car. Therefore, there is an objective need for a light currency, which is the main reason why paper money first appeared in Sichuan.

Moreover, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocracy, the national currency was not uniform, and there were several currency areas, each of which did not use each other. At that time, there were 13 roads (administrative units of the Song Dynasty) special copper coins, 4 roads special iron coins, and Shaanxi and Hedong used both copper and iron coins. The outflow of currency is also strictly prohibited in various currency areas, and the use of paper money can prevent the outflow of copper and iron coins.

In addition, the Song government was often attacked by the Liao, Xia, and Jin, and spent heavily on military and indemnities, and also needed to issue paper money to cover the fiscal deficit. For various reasons, it contributed to the emergence of paper money - "Jiaozi".

According to the original history, it was impossible for paper money to appear in the Tang Dynasty, but now, he, a modern person, has crossed over, and he has crossed into a rich second generation with a lot of money, so it is necessary for him to do something.

After thinking about it in his mind, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning, about paper money, he will do it in the future, but it is definitely not done now, it will take time and talents in related aspects.

When he came to the academy, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning's office.

"Shaoning! The money for road construction has been fully paid, so you can arrange manpower as soon as possible and start construction~! ”

Li Zexuan pushed the door and entered, and saw that Yan Shaoning was still alone inside, so he went straight to the point.

Yan Shaoning stood up and said in surprise: "The money came so soon?" That's okay, I've already arranged it here, in that case, let's start construction today~! How's the cement prepared at the factory? ”

Li Zexuan replied: "There is no problem at all in the workshop, the output of cement can definitely be supplied~!" ”

Since the main production capacity of the Wonder Pavilion Workshop moved to Plum Village, the output of horse-drawn carriages, scooters, glass, cement and books has gradually increased, and now the supply capacity of the Wonder Pavilion has been greatly improved.

This is also the purpose of Li Zexuan's expansion of the workshop, although hunger marketing can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in a short time, but it will only make people disgusted after a long time, after all, he has also experienced the torture of a certain brand in his previous life.

Yan Shaoning nodded and said, "That's good~!" ”

Li Zexuan swept around and asked with a smile, "What about your ink girl?" ”

"She's been in the workshop recently, and I've asked the master of the workshop to help her make lenses~!"

Yan Shaoning subconsciously replied, but he instantly reacted to the language problem in Li Zexuan's words, and hurriedly scolded: "Damn, what do you call our family's Mo girl?" You kid, don't talk nonsense, ruin Miss Mo's reputation, and then Mr. Mo will have to settle accounts with you~! ”

Li Zexuan laughed, turned around and went out, leaving his words in the air, "Haha, I'm afraid Mr. Mo will come to you instead of me, who let you steal someone's daughter's heart~?" ”

Yan Shaoning's ears were red with a rare shame, and he chased out the door, wanting to find Li Zexuan's theory, but where was Li Zexuan's shadow outside?

This thing could only "phew" and muttered: "How can this kid think about that thing in his head all day long?" It's a shame that he is still the mountain chief of Yanhuang Academy, and he doesn't look like a mountain chief at all, so he is really a teacher in vain~! Alas, to marry? What kind of pro? How good it is to be free and easy to be alone~! ”
