Today is a happy "payday", and the servants in the palace can receive their wages, either to save them or to spend them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just as different categories of people live in different places, different rooms for eating, and different types of servants are paid in different rooms, but everyone is the same.

The bookkeeper looked at the person who came to the counter and asked, "Name"

"Zhang Yulu!"

Looking at the roster book, the account room read: "Zhang Yulu... This month's salary is 625 Wen, do you want copper coins or negotiable coupons? ”

"Circulation Ticket!"

"Take it, six red bulls, one blue sheep, and five copper coins, a total of six hundred and twenty-five wen."

"Can they all be replaced by blue sheep? It's easy to use. ”

"Yes, thirty-one blue sheep and five copper plates."

"Wait, I'll count... Well... Hmmm.."

"Listen carefully, one red bull is equal to five blue sheep, six red bulls are thirty blue sheep, a total of thirty-one blue sheep, plus five copper coins, point clearly, and you will not be responsible after leaving the cabinet!"

"Next..."

The red, green, and green circulation vouchers were distributed to everyone, and over the next month, a small portion of them were locked in a small private locker and stored, and most of them were taken by the holders to the "commissary" of the mansion to buy various items.

Unlike other places, the wages issued are called "circulation coupons", and there are four "face values" of "one hundred wen", "wu shiwen", "two shiwen" and "shiwen".

The four denominations of the circulation coupons are rectangular strips of paper, the size of which decreases in turn, but they are all "printed" exquisitely, the circulation coupons of the face value of one hundred Wen are red shading, the circulation coupons of Wu Shiwen are yellow, the two Shiwen are blue, and the one of Shiwen is black.

Each type of negotiable coupon is divided into front and back, the face value is printed in the middle of the obverse, the right side is a "coupon" with a flower frame, and the left side is a "coupon" with a flower frame.

The back has different patterns, decreasing according to the face value, respectively, drawing cows, pigs, sheep and fish, which also provides convenience for people with bad eyes or illiterate: Red Bull refers to the circulation of one hundred denominations, and yellow pigs, blue sheep, and black fish refer to Wu Shiwen, Ershiwen and Shiwen circulation coupons.

The voucher was limited to the mansion, and servants could use it to purchase everything from cloth to pigskin products, soap, and needlework at the commissary.

The price of buying with negotiable coupons is cheaper than buying with copper coins, and the only official way to get negotiable coupons is when you pay your wages, and of course exchanging them with each other in private is another story.

Of course, the Mansion of the Duke of Yi is not forced to use negotiable coupons to pay for wages, and those who are willing to receive copper coins are no problem, and there will be no embarrassment. If you want to exchange copper coins after receiving the negotiable coupons, then there is no problem, and you can exchange them at any time at the account office in the house.

When this initiative was first introduced, there were almost not many people willing to receive negotiable coupons, not because they didn't believe in the credit of the lord Lang, but because the fluttering paper money was too unreassuring, where there were heavy copper coins.

After several years of "promotion", this negotiable coupon has finally been "circulated" in the mansion of the Duke of Yiguo, which has also brought convenience to everyone.

In the backyard, Yuwen Wen and Mrs. Wei Chi are busy, just like the vulgar little couple is counting money, counting is naturally a circulation coupon, since there is this thing, the copper coins circulating in the house have been significantly reduced, saving a lot of trouble.

Today's salary, after all kinds of attendance should be deducted, the servants get all the hard-earned money, of course, based on the intention of motivating everyone to "work hard", the master mother Chi Chifan wants to give additional rewards to the servants who perform well.

There are punishments and rewards, and only clear rewards and punishments can be convincing, and those servants who have performed well have been listed, and the specific amount of rewards has been set according to the reward and punishment regulations.

In addition to this, there is also the "bounty" of each house, which is given to each house to reward the servants themselves, after all, the proper favor is given, and the servants of each house are more dedicated.

This fee is waiting for the final decision of the Lang master and his wife, of course, each one has actually been divided in advance, and now it is only for the Lang master and the housewife to spot check.

Yuwen Wen and Wei Chi Chi Fan probably checked it, and found no problems, and then signaled the account room to distribute it according to the routine, and as soon as the people went out, a few more people came in, led by the housekeeper Li Sanjiu.

"How's the pay?"

"Lord Huilang, the master's mother, the wages of more than 300 people in the city mansion have been paid." Li Sanjiu replied, "A total of 186,518 texts were distributed, that is, 186,518 texts." ”

"How is the distribution of circulating coupons this time?"

"Lord Huilang, there are one hundred and fifty-eight and nine hundred and thirty-five documents issued by negotiable coupons, accounting for about eighty and a half."

Wei Chi Chifan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's also a loss to have negotiable coupons, otherwise it will be very troublesome to just move these copper coins around." ”

Yu Wenwen's focus was not on this, he opened his mouth and asked: "What is the proportion of circulating coupons recovered last month?" ”

"Ninety percent of it has been recycled, and it has been the case for the past few months."

"Ninety percent, that is, one percent of the circulation coupons are saved every month." Yu Wenwen nodded, "In this case, the copper coins that are spare at the exchange office are prepared according to the face value that has not been recovered. ”

"In addition, the issuance and recovery of negotiable coupons will continue to be counted and must not be slackened."

"Yes."

Yuwenwen launched the circulation coupons in the house, not to scavenge oil and water, but mainly to save trouble, when the wages were paid, strings of copper coins were laborious to move around, and it was time-consuming to count them in person, and everyone was troublesome.

The management system in the house is strict, and it is not easy for people to go out, so they opened a commissary to sell all kinds of items, which is convenient for the other party and Yuwenwen to recover copper coins, and the copper coins turned around and returned to his warehouse, how to make short-distance circulation more convenient is a problem.

He had experienced modern society, so he decided to "innovate", anyway, most of these wages were spent in the commissary of the house, and it was better to use paper money to take on the function of circulation, and it would save trouble.

Easier said than done, the circulation coupons that were launched at the beginning were basically ignored, and this kind of behavior beyond "common sense" did not work even if he had a golden signboard.

A large amount of money mixed with lead and tin is called bad money, this kind of "circulation coupon" that does not even have metal, and is light and fluttering on a piece of paper, you say that it is worth money?

In this year, all the fictitious face value of the currency, the people are not willing to use, the Zhou State launched the "Yongtong Wanguo" money, known as a hundred thousand, but the people do not buy it, the court can only obey the "law of the market".

Copper coins are not good, let alone "paper money", to put it bluntly, it is a credit problem, and Yuwenwen does not forcibly promote it, but "Xu Tuzhi".

Credit is not spoken, it is made, Yu Wenwen wants to prove his credit with facts, so unlimited exchange is inevitable, there is no shortage of copper coins in his house, so there is no pressure to exchange.

Even so, it took a lot of time to get the people to accept the negotiable notes, and those who received them were able to use them with peace of mind, and those who wanted to save money also accepted the banknotes that were significantly more convenient.

With the success of the small-scale promotion, it's time for the next step.

Li Sanjiu opened a wooden box, and then showed the contents in front of Lord Lang and the main mother, Yu Chi Chifan picked up one of the notes, looked at it carefully for a moment and exclaimed:

"This is the new circulation coupon, and the workmanship is so exquisite."

"It's a new negotiable ticket, and it's also limited to a small area, but not in the prefecture, but somewhere else." (To be continued.) )
