It is easy to lose the credibility of the government, but it is extremely difficult to rebuild. This can be understood by looking at the rabbits of later generations.

The same is true of Zhao Song at the moment.

In the Central Plains, which was greatly injured by the vitality of Song Huizong, the farmers fled, no grains, thorns and fields, and the people complained about the government, and regarded the officials as corrupt and perverted the law, and the credibility of the imperial court was gone.

How is it possible to convince the people that the pieces of paper they get are real money?

Not to mention that this kind of distribution is still a certain degree of 'forced buying and selling', which makes the people strongly dissatisfied at the same time, one by one, they also feel that paper money burns their hands.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and although this behavior is very hateful, they can't make any waves under the strong suppression of the local government.

Of course, what is more important is that these banknotes can really be spent. At least there is no problem with paying taxes.

It has long been published in the official newspapers of the imperial court: no individual or enterprise may refuse to accept paper money for any improper reason, otherwise it will be punished by the government such as detention and fines. This greatly alleviates this contradiction.

After the time enters the winter, many businesses in the north and south of the country have applied paper money. Especially for those who are huge in and out, not only paper money has become an urgent need for them, but even government bonds have begun to slowly circulate in the market.

Because their existence is much easier than the copper coins in the car.

In the Qing Dynasty, China's currency had already entered the silver age, and the prosperity of commercial papers such as silver bills of exchange fully illustrated the convenience of paper money, which was incomparable to the superiority of physical gold and silver. It is even more unmatched by the copper in the current copper era.

But these don't make sense for ordinary farmers who don't see a lot of money on weekdays. They only take money seriously, and they don't recognize any banknotes, money orders, checks, and the like.

When you get it, spend it as soon as possible, or buy food and clothing, or buy livestock, or buy some farm tools? In short, it is necessary to spend the unreliable "paper" on hand first, and then keep a few more sheets on hand to pay taxes. Ordinary people remember this very clearly, because the official newspaper and bank staff have said that this kind of "paper" can also be used to deduct taxes.

That would save them a lot of trouble.

You must know that the copper coins of the Song Dynasty at this time were the world currency that was absolutely common in East Asia.

Japan once sent merchant ships to the Song Dynasty to engage in trade, but after all the goods were sold, they no longer bought them, only collected copper coins, and transported away 100,000 copper coins at one time. Historically, the Kamakura shogunate in Japan openly recognized the Song copper coins as the legal tender of Japan, but of course, that was later.

In addition, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were also the mainstream currencies of Goryeo, Jiaozhi and other countries, and flowed to South Asia and West Asia, becoming the auxiliary currency of the southern region of Tianzhu and even the Tianfang world.

As for the neighboring Western Xia, Khitan and Jin people, they unceremoniously took the Song money for their own use. Cast in one dynasty and shared by four dynasties, it is not a joke.

In addition, the Song people had a bad habit of hiding money, just like the Chinese people in the Ming and Qing dynasties hid silver in cellars, so that it was rotten and black, which caused a serious economic problem - money shortage.

The heavy trucks at the border gates, the ships returned with full loads, and there was no money circulating in the market, which was definitely a heavy blow to the economy.

It is also because of this that the more money is minted, the more insufficient it is for Zhao Song, and the quality of the copper coins minted is also getting worse. If so, another phenomenon has been triggered - bad money drives out good money.

Because people don't want to keep bad money, they will compete to use it to buy goods. When buying something, the two banknotes are one new and the other is old, and the eighteen or nineteen will use the old banknotes to buy.

As a result, bad money eventually drives out good money. Even on the one hand, there is a shortage of money in the market, and on the other hand, there is a situation where bad money and counterfeit money are rampant, and there is a lot of money. This in turn exacerbates the depreciation of bad currencies and inflation.

When the government collected taxes, how many people didn't break with the poor people because of the problem of bad money and good money?

You want one bad currency to top one good coin, and the poor person wants two bad coins to top one good money, how can it be easy to pay taxes directly with paper money?

But no matter what the people think, it is an undoubted fact that this banknote is entering the lives of the people step by step and is being integrated into the society of Zhao and Song Dynasty step by step.

When time passes, when the people are completely accustomed to paper money, the era of paper money and gold and silver coins will not come.

In that way, Zhao Song's economic strength will be able to grow by leaps and bounds.

Not to mention such a stimulating effect on the economy, just say that the imperial court holds the money printing machine, and its financial capacity is more than three or five times stronger than that of the copper and silver ages.

This is because there is a huge difference between the security deposit and the amount of banknotes issued.

Although this kind of thinking is really low. In the current era, the world's gold and silver are waiting to be picked up, and they are still thinking about financial bankruptcy, but it is not the low forcing the to open the door for the low, and the low is forced to go home.

……

The city of Mizhou Prefecture on Jingdong East Road.

This is a pilot county located at the junction of the Taiyi Mountains and the Jiaowei Plain, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, from south to east is a large undulating mountain range, there are a number of valley-like basins in between, the west, the middle and the north, it is a large undulating plain, belonging to the Weihe Plain in the south of the Jiaolai alluvial plain, and there are low hills on its edge.

Mountains, hills and basins account for nearly 60% of the total area. The plains can only occupy about 30%, and the rest are depressions and lakes.

It is impossible for Zhao Gou to put all the pilot counties in rich places like Huairen County and Wanqiu County, and Zhucheng is also one of them.

Zhang Xiaochun rode on the back of a Sichuan horse that walked through the mountain road, and walked leisurely on the rugged mountain road.

Songbai Township is one of the four townships in the southwest of Zhucheng, the whole is submerged in a rolling hills, Zhang Xiaochun is not the first time to come here, as early as when Zhucheng was turned into a pilot county, he came once.

As the pacification envoy of Jingdong East Road, he is not a mediocre official who can get by, although his resume is a little less glorious because of the experience of being captured, so that he has taken an important position in the central government. But thinking about the fate of Wang Yu and others, what is he not satisfied with?

A small village is hidden between two mountain ranges, and the cold wind blows through, and the mountains are full of dead branches, and the small village with the smoke rising from the cooking is somewhat conspicuous.

This is Xiaoping Village, one of the more than 70 mountain villages under Songbai Township.

The last time Zhang Xiaochun came, the mountains were still green, but the people's lives were not alive. And now, looking at the terraced fields that have been carved out near the small mountain village, a kind of joy arises from the heart.

"Rare, rare." Such a piece of mountain terraced fields can be soaked in the efforts of the people.

At the same time, these terraced fields can be neatly organized, which also shows the strong control of the local government over the people. The so-called accessibility of government decrees and the unity of the government and the people are really much stronger than before.

Zhang Xiaochun, who was over fifty years old, sighed softly.

He is very concerned about the current scene, because if the performance of this pilot county is excellent, the next step will be to increase the implementation of the government. Now the emperor on the dragon chair is different from Emperor Renzong and Emperor Shenzong, it is not an ordinary iron fist.

He wants to carry out a new policy, and under the blade, no one in the world can beat him.

Zhang Xiaochun doesn't want to go home early to retire, so he can only move forward with the times.

Although he sometimes wakes up, in a trance, he still feels that the world is still the same as in the old days. After all, it is the experience and feelings of most of the life, how can it be said that forgetting can be forgotten?

What's more, the rules of officialdom in the past were so friendly to their officials and ministers.
