Li Kou was thoughtful and did not take the money as his hand, and the homeless people around him were eyeing him, and Zhang Dahu was resentful.

At this point, there should be a place to avoid this place for the time being.

If there are some things that cannot be solved for a while, then wait and see from a distance for a while.

He took the bill from the big man's hand, and looked at it in the firelight.

This is just ordinary paper money, and its coarseness makes people like him, who are accustomed to seeing paper money in later generations, very disgusted.

Can such banknotes prevent counterfeit banknotes?

However, Li Kou also knew that there were also "passwords" in ancient times.

He remembered seeing the plot of the so-called "serial banknotes" in the TV series, and he took the ball of dozens of flying bills in his hand and studied it carefully.

The banknote first had the words "for the Jingyuan Road Grain Bank and the Society".

In the middle, there are only a dozen seals, some show the words of a certain grain line, and some show someone's monogram, there is a very special seal, which is actually made into a gourd-shaped and engraved with a blurred pattern, and only by carefully distinguishing can the words "the owner of the collapsed house of 300 acres in Weizhou" be recognized, but there is a strange pattern engraved on it.

What is this again?

What is a 300-acre collapsed house?

Li Kou bypassed these and didn't ask any questions first, just looked at the middle of the banknotes.

There is the words "straight thousand dollars" on it, and there is a line of "raising ninety pounds of second-class wheat" next to it.

This makes Li Kou strange, the harvest in ancient times depends on the weather, there is a bumper harvest year, naturally there must be a bad harvest year, this flying money can be used as a second-class wheat ninety catties, if it encounters a bad harvest year, these businessmen will not lose?

"That's not right, since these grain merchants dare to plan out flying money, they must have physical goods as collateral, isn't this a grain stamp with grain as the actual value?" Li Kou understood when he thought about it, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, "These grain banks are also bold, they stipulate that no matter whether the harvest is good or bad, the price of grain will be set at this price, and after several years of local poor harvest and grain shortage, the local people are willing to choose to believe their banknotes." ”

Li Kou was also a little uneasy in his heart, he felt the influence of the big businessmen in this historical stage of the Song Dynasty.

These people can achieve the goal of accumulating wealth by manipulating prices.

All he could think of was that the flying money that could be seen as a food stamp could act as a leverage.

At the same time, he also understood why Jingyuan Road would agree to the grain bank's intention to replace part of the currency with flying money.

I am afraid that the collusion and compromise between power and business are indispensable here.

Sure enough, he found the flower of Jingyuan Road to pacify the envoy in the flying banknote, and at the same time found the flower of the envoy of Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Xihe Road and other transfer envoys.

Shuai Sifu and Cao Si stand for these flying money, and the flying money retains its value more than big money.

It's no wonder that these big families are willing to take some flying money.

"There's nothing to be proud of, it's just worse than that." Li Kou thought to himself.

A currency issued on the basis of easily affected food is too unstable.

It's just that he doesn't know much about this for the time being, and he doesn't know much about the issuance of modern money, so he just thinks so in his heart.

Li Kou counted the flying banknotes in his hand, and the big ones were "straight 5,000 yuan" and "450 catties of second-class wheat," and the small ones were "straight 1,000 yuan."

In this way, these flying banknotes are large-face banknotes, and they are not used by ordinary people for daily use.

This in turn gave the grain bank and the two divisions and even the Song Dynasty court the opportunity to regulate the market.

"The ancients weren't stupid at all, but the conditions didn't reach that point." Li Kou thought in his heart.

After all the 247,000 yuan was in hand, Li Kou took the flying money and handed over the two glass bottles and half a bottle of wine to Zhang Dahu.

Zhang Dahu looked at the two plastic bottles again.

Li Kou simply added another one to him.

Zhang Dahu hurriedly asked: "How much is the price?" ”

This guy is a very unhappy person.

Li Kou bluntly asked for more charcoal, and asked him to take some white noodles.

Zhang Dahu pondered for a moment, and learned that Li Kou was going to the Iron Whip Temple, so he sold him a favor.

"Twenty miles away, it is inconvenient for you to take the old and weak children, it's not that the family is reluctant to give up a few hundred catties of white flour, but this is probably not very comprehensive, in this way, I call the helper of the foot shop, count you three big rooms, ten days, you spare me a bottle, how about it?" Zhang Dahu asked.

Li Kou said: "I'm afraid we don't have an identity......"

"It's not difficult, it's rich." Zhang Dahu didn't care.

He is looking at Zhu Wen as a scholar.

Li Kou knew it in his heart, so he simply took another medicine bottle and called Zhang Dahu and made three rooms for a month.

Zhang Dahu calculated that he had earned it, and saw that the brown bottom of the medicine bottle was slightly translucent, although it was small but exquisite, so he also agreed to the invitation.

After the delivery of the two compartments, Zhang Dahu was not tolerant of the cold, and carefully walked to the river embankment with the proceeds.

He left behind two sturdy women, who took Zhu Wen's family to the foot shop.

Mrs. Zhu said that she was only waiting here today.

Zhu Wen also said that it would be best to go together when it was later in the day.

They didn't believe the promises of the big dealers.

It's just that Li Kou has a plan in his heart, there are a few gangsters among those homeless people, if he kidnaps these four people, it will be another trouble.

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "I'm afraid that in this Weizhou City, the most comprehensive thing at this time is this river." ”

There are soldiers patrolling the riverbank, and even if there are a few gangsters, the homeless people do not dare to make trouble.

Zhu Wen said in a low voice: "It's warm in two days, and it's chaos when the city is built." ”

Li Kou didn't understand or know what was going on with the homeless people building the city.

He followed Zhu Wen's advice, which was more familiar with this era than he was.

"The so-called construction of the city by the displaced people is really just an ancient disaster relief method, which not only appeases the displaced people, but also repairs official affairs." Zhu Wen said with a smile. [Note (1)]

Isn't this cash-for-work?

Li Kou was a little surprised, he only said that this method is only modern and modern.

However, I saw the protagonist propose the method of cash-for-work in the travel book, and won the gratitude of all the people and the praise of the big guy.

It turns out that the ancients have thought of this method a long time ago.

A project that not only appeases the displaced people but also repairs the damage is indeed a good idea.

Zhu Wenjie's down-and-out scholars were also accustomed to this, thinking that whenever there was a famine in the Song Dynasty, there was this policy of relief for work.

In this way, it seems that the ancients had already taken this measure, and by the latest the Song Dynasty had formed a policy of disaster relief.

Li Kou was a little relieved, he originally thought that he wanted Tianming to find a grain store to exchange for grain.

At this time, the sky showed a touch of fish belly white, and for a moment the white light invaded the night.

The sky light infiltrated the river and showed its appearance.

Li Kou took a look and guessed that this should be Shuiqiaogou a thousand years later.

From then on, about three or five miles to the north, is the community where his family's newly bought house is located.

If he goes to the northeast and northeast from this, he can climb over the two mountain beams or go all the way east to sixty miles away along the Jing River and go north into the mountains, which is his hometown that haunts his dreams.

Thinking of this, Li Kou hurriedly held back his thoughts and asked Zhu Wen urgently: "How does the state government arrange for me to wait for the displaced people?" ”

Zhu Wenzheng explained matters to the Hun family, seeing that he was not a big man, he spoke very carefully with the Hun family, and the husband and wife were in a harmonious relationship.

As soon as Li Kou asked, Zhu Wen immediately replied: "When the weather is warm, build the city wall, one is to appease, and the other is to live, so as not to teach the homeless people to sweep the state and county and fall into the homeless people, but if there is a bite to eat, which one is willing to fall into the grass and become a thief?" The third is to screen the strong among the displaced people, some who are willing to join the army into the native soldiers or archers, those who are good at martial arts can go directly to the forbidden army and the border army to contribute, as for the rest of the people, most of them are separated, those who have property or run mats, or buy land, and those who do not have landless property are incorporated into the household register, or lease official land, listen to the distribution of the Caosi and the state and county yamen, or hire for the local large households, either tenant the local rich households' land properties, or work as a helper for the big families in the city—what did Shaojun plan? ”

Li Kou had a plan in his heart.

He doesn't know anything about this world, although he has a good martial arts, but how many acres of land can he play? It's better to use the 200,000 yuan in hand to find Cao Si to buy the ravine in his hometown, first quietly watch what the world is like, and when he sees it clearly, he can either live in seclusion in the mountains or jump into this rolling red dust, which is also a free choice.

At this time, it is not possible to arbitrarily decide to stay.

Even if you want to join the army, you must know what this world is like.

Otherwise, even if you have a good martial arts skill by knowing a few big characters, you will only be blind in this world.

So how?

"The land is the foundation of agriculture. In the former Song Dynasty, the official land was private, and the rich could annex the states and counties, and the poor still had a way to do business, but since the war, the trade route was extinct, and the people had no existence. In the later Song Dynasty, the northerners went south, fought for land with the southerners, the land was exhausted, and the business was poor, there was no population, and there was a lack of money and food, so the landless people joined the army, intending to go on the northern expedition, and there were the people who rushed to the (emperor), and the northerners were exhausted, and the Song Dynasty was sluggish, and the Song Dynasty died in the wind of land annexation, and then the Song Dynasty died in the congenital, the so-called 'agriculture died, the former Song Dynasty died, the agriculture was a business coercion, and the Song Dynasty did not exist'. Farmers, the world's affairs, the so-called 'no agriculture is unstable'. ”

Note (1): The method of cashing in for work has existed in ancient times, and it was first seen in the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi Jinggong, which was implemented for Yan Ying, and the original text was "Qi Hunger, Yan Zi was relieved of the people because of the battle of Lu Bed". See "Yanzi Spring and Autumn".

In the eighth year of Song Shenzong Xining, in the summer of 1075 A.D., there was a disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhao Mo, the governor of Yuezhou, was ordered to relieve the disaster, and recruited 30,000 displaced people to build the city wall in addition to the disaster relief, and paid both wages and food to the victims, and at the same time borrowed money from the victims in the name of the government, "using the method of calculating their work, so that they can rely on more."

When Ouyang Xiu learned about Yingzhou, he also recruited victims to build the Yellow River embankment and repair the Zhupi people's fields, which shows that the method of cash-for-work has become a means of disaster relief.

When Fan Zhongyan was in western Zhejiang, he took advantage of the local people's custom of believing in Buddhism, and also recruited migrant workers in the disaster area to repair Buddhist temples in lieu of work. For this matter, see Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings, Volume 11, Official Administration".
