Liang Wei's worries are undoubtedly unnecessary.

For the people of Houlianggouzi Town, they have nothing, and now they have no other hope except for the government's relief. Or because the land of Henan has been pacified for less than two years, there are still some ill-intentioned people who want to do something, but there are still hundreds of soldiers stationed here! Even if they didn't have weapons, as a well-trained army, even their bare hands were enough to beat them to scum.

Now the court has made money, and it is white-haired. Not to mention some of the fancy things they had never seen before, even if it was a wooden stick, as long as it could be exchanged for something that could be fed and clothed, it would be fine.

When the shopkeeper of the Liu family's warehouse was still setting up a tent on this high ground, there was already a long queue outside. There are soldiers on duty here, and the ranks are quite neat.

And when they saw the grain bags and all kinds of materials unloaded from the mules and horses, the common people were also much calmer, there were a lot of things, and a family only had one yuan, and they couldn't buy much, so everyone must have a share.

The most, of course, is food. Secondly, it is clothing, bedding, pots and pans, needles, threads and so on.

As soon as a few door panels were placed on the ground, the goods were placed one yard above, and with the shouting of the shopkeeper, the trade officially began.

As Hu Yang said, a pound of fine grain is 30 Wen, a pound of coarse grain is 20 Wen, and other clothes and bedding are still more expensive. For this price, the people of Houlianggou actually did not have much reaction, one yuan is the government's white money, one yuan, is to buy fine grain, it is enough to buy three catties, the family population is not large, it can be eaten dry, and the population is large, with coarse grains, at least it can be eaten. Didn't you say that you will send another money tomorrow?

Of course, whether it is a large population or a small population, they will run out of money, even if they can't eat it all, they can save a little to be prepared.

"Shopkeeper, I still have a few silver dollars here, and I want to buy some bedding and clothes." A man stood in front of the shopkeeper and took out a silver dollar from his bosom.

"Yes, but we can only find your kind of banknotes for the silver dollars you pay, is there a problem?" The shopkeeper's attitude is very kind, and he is honest with a smile.

A silver dollar is a thousand wen, and a bed of bedding will definitely have a lot left.

"Can't you find copper dollars?" The man asked hesitantly.

"I can't." The shopkeeper shook his head firmly.

"How long will you stay here?"

"For a long time!" The shopkeeper said: "Maybe in the future, we will set up a branch in your Houlianggouzi Town." ”

"Buy!" Hearing this, the man immediately made up his mind, as long as the main owner is still there, even if he finds this kind of so-called money that he has never seen, he can spend it.

The yuan issued by the imperial court is only enough to buy food, and most of the people who have a few dollars in their pockets still have to buy some other basic daily necessities. Although the price has also risen sharply, there are some urgent things that cannot be helped.

Not long after the one-dollar banknote was issued, it was recycled again, but the shopkeeper found a lot of dangyiwen and ten wen, and recovered dozens of silver dollars, and found more banknotes.

And in the whole of Henan, such scenes are happening almost at the same time in the disaster area. The issuance of new banknotes, with the help of a disaster, was first spread on a large area on the ground in Henan.

This is actually a matter of habit, when all people begin to get used to such a payment method, everyone will accept such a thing calmly.

After everything was calm in Lianggouzi Town, Liang Wei also let go of most of his heart, the people stabilized, and the next thing was naturally to rebuild their homes.

"Brother Hu, next, I need your help." The newly appointed tun chief Liang Wei sincerely bowed his hand to Hu Yang.

"We've been ordered here, no matter what, as long as you ask, we'll help you do it!" Hu Yang said with a smile: "Hundreds of young men, you have to find more things for them to do, otherwise they won't be able to vent their energy all day long, and it will be easy to have accidents." ”

"Now the military discipline of our army, there is really nothing to say!" Liang Wei said sincerely: "At the beginning, the villagers in the town were very afraid. ”

Hu Yang laughed: "Next, is it to rebuild Houlianggouzi Town?" ”

"Not bad!" Liang Wei said: "Didn't I go to the county meeting today?" The next thing is to pay for work, and this kind of white money will only last for another five days. The county said that the original place in Houlianggouzi Town could not be used, and over the years, whenever there was a little flood, it would be a disaster, and this time since it was completely destroyed, it was simply rebuilt at another site. The location is right on top of our current plateau. ”

"First of all, the road must be opened!" Hu Yang said: "Otherwise, bricks, tiles, and wood will not be able to enter." ”

"Yes, we must use the fastest time to open up the external traffic of Houlianggouzi Town, and I will mobilize all the laborers in the entire town, plus the hundreds of people in your hands, Brother Hu, to build a simple road, and barely allow carriages and the like to come in. The rest of the people organized themselves to go back to the old town to see what else could be used, and to pick out and reuse them. Liang Wei said: "The county said that this time for reconstruction, each family can only subsidize 100 yuan, which is not enough." If you can save something, you can save it! ”

"I see that the people here almost have nothing, what if they don't have enough money?"

"Money bank offers loans! The interest rate is very low, half a percent per annum! Liang Wei said: "There is no way, I can only borrow money from the bank." Let's pay it back slowly in the future! The imperial court subsidized 100 yuan per household, which was already speechless, which had never been done in previous dynasties. The manpower needed to rebuild is negligible, and we can organize to help each other, most of which is really just building materials. ”

The 100 yuan of the new banknote is basically 10 taels of silver in the past, and if you don't count the labor cost to build an adobe house, 20 taels of silver can basically be done. In other words, the government subsidized half, no wonder Liang Wei was satisfied, and the people had nothing to say.

"Then let's move!" Hu Yang said: "Help them settle down earlier, and we should go back early." ”

In the 30 days since the disaster, the reconstruction work of the entire disaster-stricken area has begun vigorously.

For this reason, in a very short period of time, the imperial court allocated tens of millions of yuan to invest in the bereavement and treatment of the disaster area. According to the past price, it was millions of taels of silver.

The three million taels that Gao Xiangsheng bothered to get back from Wang Yikun didn't even stir up a splash, so he spent it all, and the court even posted a large sum of money.

Of course, if it weren't for Gao Xiangsheng getting back this windfall, Li Ze would have been even more difficult.

Fortunately, although so much has been invested, it is not without returns, and the reconstruction of the entire disaster area is actually a big business, the money is invested, the people have been resettled, pensions, businessmen have earned real money, and the imperial court has returned a large amount of taxes. What makes Li Ze even more important is that because of the post-disaster disposal work this time, the imperial court has really gained a foothold in Henan and won the hearts of the people.

Tens of thousands of Youjin Wuwei soldiers left the barracks and laid down their weapons, and they were no longer representatives of violence, but became fighters for emergency rescue and disaster relief, and patron saints of the people.

All the members of Yixing Club took the lead, and the officials came to the front line one by one, completely letting the local people realize that the current Datang has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in essence compared with the past Datang.

Parents and parents are officials, although they used to be called so, but this time, the people really realized what a parent official should look like. I really have an object that I feel can rely on.

In the north, Li Ze operated for many years before the common people truly recognized his rule, but in Henan, he did not expect that a sudden natural disaster would allow him to achieve this wish.

Water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, and can be recognized by the general public, which is the greatest praise for the imperial court and the government. It is also the core element of their ability to consolidate their rule. It is difficult for a court that is not recognized by the people to gain a foothold for a long time. Violence can be exploited for a while, but it cannot always succeed.

And this disaster also allowed the imperial court to further test the response ability and governance ability of the entire bureaucratic system, and the experience summed up and the shortcomings exposed were presented on the desks of various ministries and offices for the first time, and then they were carefully refined and sent to the desks of Li Ze and the chairmen of various committees. A change within the bureaucracy, rectification, is also about to begin.

Xia Hexi smiled, her credit currency plan finally got off to an excellent start, and it took less than two months for the new banknotes to be rolled out in Henan.

Xu Xiang also rejoiced that the success of the credit monetary policy meant that he had more room for manoeuvre in terms of fiscal planning. Because Luoyang is still the commercial capital of the world at this time, with this fulcrum, it is much easier to push the new banknotes widely.

Misfortune and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk, for Li Ze, this time it really responded to such a sentence.

For Li Ze's enemies, it was a big disappointment, Li Ze's imperial court quieted down and recovered the battered Henan in such a short period of time, and even showed stronger vitality than before, making some of their original small calculations bankrupt in an instant. Some of their plans are still being worked out and then come to naught.
