Chapter 1697: The Head Is as Big as a Bucket (Next)
After coming out of the East Palace, the money manager went back to the bank non-stop, one to prepare the 10 million yuan for Lao Li, and the other to issue banknotes.
The next day, when the Royal Bank opened its doors again, a bulletin board at the door attracted people's attention, and for a while many people gathered around to see what was written on it.
There were also some illiterate ordinary people, who also ran over when they saw the excitement here, standing on the periphery and looking up, asking what was written on it.
At this moment, several receptionists came out of the bank, and one of them held the legendary copper bullhorn in his hand and shouted: "Be quiet, please be quiet!" ”
"What is written on that, young man?"
"yes, what is a small bill?"
"Young man, can you explain it, how small is it?"
When a group of Chang'an people gathered around saw someone coming out, they immediately shouted and asked the doubts in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, small bills refer to bearer bills under 1,000 documents, which are divided into 1,000 documents, 500 documents, 100 documents, 50 documents, 10 documents, 5 documents and one article. The biggest advantage of this kind of bill is that it can facilitate our usual shopping, and it can allow us ordinary people to experience the fun of bill trading. ”
The young receptionist's explanation was too simple to satisfy the onlookers, but fortunately, there were many of them who could explain on a small scale.
So, a few moments later, a crowd gathered in front of the Royal Bank, watching the receptionists demonstrate the small denomination bills with the proofs of the bills.
To be honest, this kind of thing is really not done by people, because no matter how those receptionists explain, there will always be people who can't hear it and ask over and over again.
But fortunately, the people of Chang'an City are all 'knowledgeable', and they are no strangers to bank bills, even if they have not used them, they know their functions.
In the past, the bills were all large-amount, hundreds, thousands, and the people always only said that the bills could be traded, although they were curious, but they did not have the opportunity to experience it.
Now that the Royal Bank has begun to implement this kind of small bills, some people have tried it with good intentions.
He took out five or one copper plate in exchange for a beautiful bill, and looked at the image of His Majesty Li Er, the Great Emperor, prancing on his horse and whipping on it, and no one doubted the authenticity of this thing.
After all, the emperor has been printed on it, who dares to say that this thing is fake.
……
In just three days, the issuance of small notes was a great success.
Unlike when the bank was first established, the Royal Bank at this time already had a certain credit foundation in the hearts of the people, and those who exchanged small bills did not have any problems when they took the bills to spend, that is to say, there was no refusal to accept them.
Some friends here may ask, how can this happen, are those businessmen stupid? If you don't give real money, they will agree?
In fact, let's not forget that in fact, those merchants are the main customers of the Royal Bank at present, and they all know that those bills can be traded, so when the people take some small bills to trade, these merchants do not hesitate.
Besides, the bill can be printed with His Majesty Li Er, as long as it doesn't eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, who would dare to fake it? The people of Datang are not bold enough to die for money.
Therefore, the issuance of small notes was successful, and the Royal Bank once again exchanged a pile of torn paper for a large amount of copper coins, but relatively speaking, the copper coins at this time seemed to be slowly losing their own value and becoming a kind of measure.
……
Daming Palace, including the cool hall.
His Majesty Li Er quickly signed a slip with joy, and watched the money steward leave with the money, until there was no shadow of the person leaving, and then smiled and said to the eldest grandson queen beside him: "Guanyin, take a walk, the money has been shipped, how about accompanying me to see where to go?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Er, who was a little excited, with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong?" His Majesty the Great Second Majesty Li quickly realized that something was wrong with the situation, and asked with some confusion, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Your Majesty, in fact, the concubines don't know what to say, but ...... I think you were fooled by Qian'er. Empress Eldest Sun looked at His Majesty Li Er, who was full of ambition, and said slowly.
"Flickering? You mean the money he sent me was fake? Lao Li's brows suddenly furrowed.
"No, the money is real, it's just...... It's just that Your Majesty is afraid that you won't be able to spend it. Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said.
"Guanyin, what do you mean by that? Why can't I spend my money when it's real? His Majesty Li Er was confused by his wife, and his eyebrows were almost twisted into a pimple.
Empress Eldest Sun thought for a while, poured Li Er a cup of hot tea, and then said: "Your Majesty never handles money on weekdays, so naturally you don't know the secret, so the concubine will explain it to Your Majesty." ”
"Uh-huh. You said! Li Er also slowly calmed down at this time, sat on the chair on the side, and waited for his wife to explain.
"Your Majesty, as the concubine said just now, the copper coins sent by Qian'er are indeed real, but now the copper coins are no longer used to buy goods outside, and the bills of the Royal Bank are the main body of the transaction."
"The main reason for this is that copper money transactions are very inconvenient, and large transactions require a lot of manpower and material resources just to transport money, so since two years ago, large transactions in the outside market have begun to use Royal Bank bills, and even the palace has been using Royal Bank bills since a year ago to buy daily necessities."
Listening to the narration of Empress Changsun, the great Majesty Li Er only felt that his brain was exploding, dare to feel that it was already like this outside? No wonder he told Li Chengqian a few days ago that he would send 10 million into the palace, and that kid agreed without even a trace of hesitation.
The bastard had long known that the money could not be spent at all, and it was only put there when it was transported into the palace, and there was no difference between it and putting it in the bank.
However, ......, the old man quickly seemed to think of something again, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly and said to the eldest grandson queen: "Since large transactions cannot be carried out, then small transactions will be carried out, I don't believe that the money will not be spent there." “
"Your Majesty, in fact, you really can't spend it, because just four days ago, the Royal Bank had begun to issue small bills with a minimum face value of five wen, that is, if you want to spend that money, you can only spend it like three or four wen."
Three, four? His Majesty Li Er was stunned, Curry is 10 million yuan, how many years can it be spent with such a flower usage of three or four cents? !
Thinking of this, the great Second Majesty Li only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and there was only one thought in his heart, his teeth were knocked out, his legs were broken, and his ribs were broken .......
