Chapter 234: Silver Coins Are Good
On this day, Yang Xuan overheard a conversation between several soldiers during his patrol of the camp, and one of them asked, "Hey, why did you take so many treasure money?" Such a piece of paper is equivalent to 2 coins of silver, isn't it too expensive? ”
Zhao Liu muttered alone: "Hey, you don't understand, the team leader said, our governor has a lot of confidence in this treasure banknote?"
Besides, our governor not only raised everyone's salary this time, but also distributed such a large amount of silver, so we also want to take a little treasure money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Niu Ba said: "This time we robbed the Haoge camp, of course the adults should give us a little reward."
But if the reward becomes a piece of paper, is it too much of a loss? ”
Wang Wu said, "What about him? It's not a big deal to treat us like this. If you think about it, the war is in chaos now, the weather is still so cold, and it is good that other ministries can pay regular salaries normally, where will they still pay salaries?
This time, the adults not only raised the military salary, but also gave more rewards, so we can't pretend to be a bad seed for this. ”
Niu Ba sighed and said: "Yes, I heard that this treasure money can be sent back to my hometown to pay Ding Fu, and it can also be exchanged for silver coins in Zhongyi Qianzhuang, I feel strange, such a piece of paper can really be exchanged for real money?" ”
A person smiled and said: Of course, if you think about it, a redemption ticket in the money bank can also be exchanged for hundreds of silver taels.
The treasure money that our lords gave us can be exchanged for a few coins and taels of silver anyway.
Oh, you see, too, how about this silver coin in our hands? One yuan is enough to have one or two pieces of silver, listening to the three teams of Liu Mazi said that he went outside to buy something, the shopkeeper looked at the condition, weighed it, and claimed that this ingot was equivalent to the 1 tael and 5 cents of silver he received in the past?
Niu Ba also looked very proud, and said with a smile: Yes, not to mention that the silver dollar minted by the adult is really a real two, the shopkeeper in the store, the market likes to accept it, and many people are even laughing and saying that with silver coins, there is no need to judge the fineness of silver every time, and there will be no less catties and short two.
Everyone laughed, and one person laughed: "Yes, the silver coins minted by the adults were not said, the question is whether this treasure money can be used?"
Niu Bachang sighed and said: "Of course you can use it, yesterday I was the first to take such a 1-cent treasure banknote, and the store shook its head again and again, saying that this is not worth 12 copper coins, it must be copper coins or loose silver."
There was no way, I only gave him 1 5 cents silver coin, and I really felt too troublesome to see him find me more than 40 copper coins.
I heard that the past two days have been much better, and Qian Zhuang has spoken, aren't you envious of the silver coins?
Everyone only has to take loose silver, take treasure money to exchange, copper money is too space, everyone in order to exchange for our adult silver coins, it can be said that flock to come.
I heard that in some places, due to the large number of exchangers, the money bank stipulates that a maximum of 200 taels of silver can be exchanged every day, but treasure banknotes are different, and they can be exchanged for silver coins on the spot. ”
A person next to him nodded, "Oh, that's good." To tell the truth, this silver coin is indeed much more convenient, there is no need to argue about the quality, and there is no need to be afraid of a short catty or two.
This treasure money is also very good, unlike in the past, when you had to carry a penny to buy something. ”
Hearing everyone say this, although Yang Xuan relaxed a little, he secretly laughed to himself, it will probably take a long time for this treasure money to replace the copper coin, but after thinking about it, his mood became more relaxed.
Since ancient times, most of the people in China have circulated copper money, with the gradual circulation of treasure banknotes, the number of treasure banknotes exchanged for copper coins has gradually risen, and everyone has seen that treasure banknotes are becoming more and more valuable, so the people will inevitably be more willing to accept treasure money.
In addition, this treasure banknote is far more convenient than copper coins, when everyone gradually realizes the benefits of treasure money, when everyone knows that treasure money can be exchanged for the corresponding amount of silver coins at any time, in this case, treasure money can be quickly circulated.
Seeing that the loyal and righteous army was so rich, and all of them were actually distributed to the soldiers, there was no deduction in the middle, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Yang Zhan, Cao Xun and others couldn't sit still, and came to the big tent that afternoon to discuss to see if the other departments could handle it in comparison.
Yang Zhan, Cao Xun and others were originally veterans in the army, and their seniority was far above Yang Xuan, and in order to show respect, they often sat on the Taishi chairs on both sides of the big tent to communicate.
After listening to the two of them, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Two generals Mingjian, in the past, why did my Ming departments often make trouble, mainly because everyone implemented crowd tactics, and there were more monks and less porridge.
Usually, 10,000 soldiers and horses are out on the march, and it is necessary to recruit a considerable amount of conscripts from the people to transport grain and grass to ensure military supplies, so that the local people will be separated from each other, and the people will not be able to survive.
And on the battlefield, although there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the really well-trained can be worthy of a battle is only three or four percent, more than a rabble, although on the battlefield can wave the flag and shout, but often a blow to the defeat, in vain to consume money and food, in vain to consume local manpower.
Other ministries in central Sichuan can implement the principle of elite soldiers in accordance with the model of the loyal and righteous army, and hand over local security to local officials, just like you select brave warriors to form a pro-army, after preferential treatment and strict training, the officers and men of each ministry must reach the level of pro-army.
If you are interested in this, I can pay the first batch of military salaries in advance, and I can arrange for the old, weak, sick and disabled to be cultivated.
In this way, I can implement the new policy, stabilize the local area, resettle the displaced people, and collect taxes, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the local area. ”
Yang Zhan and Cao Xun looked at each other, although they were shocked by the combat strength of the loyal and righteous army, they thought it was exaggerated, but they were still obsessed with the tactics of the sea of people, and thought that the strategy of elite soldiers was not advisable.
Although the salaries of the loyal and righteous soldiers were generous, they were relatively ordinary soldiers.
There is still a gap between its military salary and that of the pro-army under the generals.
In addition to the above reasons, everyone has a local complex, full of desire for land and power, and now after seeing Yang Xuan let everyone hand over the right to appoint and dismiss local officials, they still feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
It's not surprising that the generals think like this, but the soldiers under them don't think so, everyone thinks that they have the ability, and some think that they are more above the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the other party's salary is so rich, and their own salary is so meager, at first it was Yu Chaozong, Ma Shouying Battalion and other miscellaneous troops under the soldiers, many people have different intentions, want to return to the loyal and righteous army.
Yu Chaozong and Ma Shouying couldn't stand it, and on the third day of the silver reward, they led their troops to leave on the grounds of local restlessness, followed by Cao Xun and Yang Zhan, who also led their troops back to the station.
Due to the fact that there were too many ******negative reorganizations of the army in his previous life and the exclusion of rumors of dissidents, this time Yang Xuan painstakingly designed this set of flexible military reorganization strategies, hoping to unify the military and government of Sichuan Province, but he was unexpectedly temporarily frustrated.
