The second imperial examination of the People's Army ended successfully, Fang Nan guessed that this matter was transmitted to the Ming Court, and the emperor would definitely be angry again, Fang Nan even wanted to write a letter to Emperor Wanli, asking him not to be angry, take care of his body, and if he was angry, he would die if he was angry, and when the time came, the world would be in chaos, and I don't know how many ordinary people would die because of it.

In fact, up to now, the People's Army has an elite army, and then expand the army at all costs, it is not a problem for the People's Army to overthrow the Ming Court, but taking this road will make too many people die, and I don't know how many years it will take for the land of China to recover.

With the presence of the Ming court, it will not make the land of China chaotic, and in the process of the People's Army gradually replacing the Ming court, it can preserve its vitality well, and the land of China is only the first goal of Fangnan, and there is a broader land outside the land of China.

The imperial examination has ended, and something more important than the imperial examination is coming, and in more than half a month, that is, on the first day of December, the five cents and one cent equal coins will be issued.

The three equal coins issued before, one yuan, five jiao, and one dime were all silver coins, with equal weight and value, but the weight and value of copper coins after silver coins did not match, and Fang Nan was more worried that it would be difficult for the common people to accept copper coins for a while.

Time passed day by day, and it was getting closer and closer to the first day of December, and a large number of five-cent and one-cent equal coins had already been escorted to the people's money banks located in various places.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gong sounded, and the surrounding people turned their eyes to the notice board, wanting to know what the People's Army was going to announce.

"Folks, the People's Military Government has a new decree to convey to you, half a year ago, most of the governors ordered people to mint equal coins to replace silver taels, and now if you use silver in your daily life, you will basically use equal coins, and everyone knows the benefits of equal coins.

It is convenient to use silver, but it is still inconvenient for everyone to use copper coins, and everyone is willing to bring a string of dozens or hundreds of copper coins when they go out.

The Governor of the Metropolitan ordered the minting of copper equal coins, which are the two in our hands, which are five cents and one penny, twelve copper coins can be exchanged for one penny, and ten pennies are a dime.

These five cents and one cent are also exchangeable at the People's Bank, and can be opened for exchange on the first day of December.

As with Silver Equality Coins, you can not exchange them for Equality Coins, but you must accept them if others use them for Equality Coins.

Okay, if you have any questions, I'll answer them. ”

As soon as the official finished speaking, many people in the surrounding crowd raised their hands to ask the question in their hearts, and the official pointed to a middle-aged man and asked him to ask a question.

"Section Chief Lin, does a penny weigh five times the weight of a penny? I don't feel that much. The middle-aged man raises a common doubt in the minds of many people.

Section Chief Lin replied: "Of course, the weight of five cents is not five times the weight of a penny, if the weight of five cents is five times that of a penny, is the weight of a penny equal to the weight of twelve copper coins?" The weight of five cents is equal to the weight of sixty copper coins, and the weight is the same, so what is the convenience of using equal coins? ”

Chief Lin's words are understood by many people around them, but they can understand that they are a little unacceptable, if they can be as heavy and valuable as the silver equal coin, they can exchange the copper coin for the copper equal coin to use.

Among the onlookers were those who were difficult to accept for a while, and there were also those who accepted it immediately, and they were willing to support the People's Army in anything, so they waited for the issuance of the first five cents and one cent of equal coins on the first day of December, and they exchanged all the copper coins in their homes.

With the announcement issued by the People's Military Government, the upcoming issue of five cents and one cent equal coins quickly became one of the hot topics of public discussion, and there were people talking about five and one cent equal coins in the streets and alleys and restaurants, some supported copper equal coins, and some did not, and the two sides started a debate.

"I support copper equality coins, most of the governors ordered people to mint copper, isn't it convenient for everyone to use, if the weight and value of copper equality coins are the same, copper equality coins and copper coins are not much more convenient than copper coins, and there is no need to mint copper equal coins."

"But silver equals the weight and value, so why can't copper?"

"There are a lot of people who can't accept the copper equality coin, and if the weight and value of the silver equality coin are not equal to the copper, I'm afraid not many people will use the equality coin."

"The value of copper coins is far less than that of silver, who would have a bunch of copper coins in their house? If you want to store it, you can also store silver taels, and since there are copper equal coins, we can exchange some for use, as long as we exchange all the money for copper equal coins. ”

……

Most of the people at the bottom are wholeheartedly supporting the People's Army, and are willing to use five cents and one cent equal coins, and most of the discussion is on the side of the middle-class people, and those gentry and businessmen don't care about five cents and one cent equal coins.

The gentry and businessmen are all wealthy people, and they mainly use silver or silver equality coins in their lives, and the probability of using copper coins is very small, and even rewarding their subordinates is directly silver equality coins, and they don't care about the copper equality coins issued by the people's military government, and they have little impact on themselves.

However, most of the wealthy gentry and businessmen had already made a decision to send people to the People's Bank to exchange some five-cent and one-cent equal coins at the People's Bank as soon as the first day of December arrived, so as to support the People's Army and leave a good impression on the People's Army.

In the midst of the discussion, the first day of December arrived, and the people's money houses in various places were officially opened to exchange five cents and one cent equal coins.

Before the People's Bank opened, many people gathered in front of the door, just like when the People's Bank launched the silver equality coin half a year ago, many people rushed to exchange the equality coin.

For the staff of the People's Bank, the exchange of copper coins for copper coins is much more convenient and fast than the exchange of silver for silver coins, the value of silver is high, it is possible to counterfeit or mix with other metals, the value of copper coins is low, and almost no one will forge copper coins.

Counting the number of copper coins, as long as the copper coins that are not too damaged are counted as a copper coin, the people who enter the people's money bank to exchange copper equal coins are only exchanged for a few, and more are exchanged for more than a dozen and dozens of coins.

There are also people who exchange a lot of copper coins, and they want to exchange hundreds or thousands of coins directly, and for such guests, there will be staff members who ask why they exchange so much.

If the gentry and merchants came to support the People's Army to exchange a large number of equal coins, the staff would dissuade them, after all, the mint did not produce many copper equal coins, and they could be circulated, but if they were stored at home, it would affect the circulation of copper equal coins.
