On the first day of February in 889 AD, a very novel institution suddenly appeared in the location of the four provincial administrative offices under the jurisdiction of Tiance Mansion - Datang Qianzhuang. This strange name and institution caused a huge sensation as soon as it appeared in the eyes of the people. Because a special internal guard unit was transferred to stand guard at the gate of Qianzhuang. However, if these are just the ones that will not attract any attention, the people in the jurisdiction of Tiance Mansion have no fear of these soldiers, not to mention Fengling, even the people of Guanzhong and Xiazhou will often greet them when they see soldiers, which is an absolutely incredible thing in other places.

The first is the plan for the reform of the coin passage within the jurisdiction of Tiance Mansion issued by the Department of Finance, and the other is the business regulations and introduction of the Datang Money Village.

"Tang coins? What is this? "There are two Datang money houses in Chang'an City, one is set up in Yongxingfang near Dongshi, and the other is in Yongpingfang in Nancheng. Since the East and West Cities are the main trading centers of Chang'an, although Zhu Laichen's Chang'an urban construction work has been demolished a lot, and new commercial and residential areas have been redesigned and built, Chang'an City, as the largest city in the country, has not been able to have any significant effect in just over two months. At this time, the opening of Datang Qian Zhuang suddenly made all kinds of merchants who were originally going to go to the East Market to stop and watch, and these people quickly led the surrounding people to watch.

"Tang currency is the latest currency issued by Tiance Mansion, big guy, please look at the one in my hand, this is Tang coin, this is ten Wen Tang coin, it can be used as ten yuan in the market." Just when the people were looking at these notices in a daze, a team of people wearing unified royal blue new-style official uniforms walked out of the Qian Village, and the head of them was Yin Honglin, the general office of Datang Qian Village. This clear-eyed young man was brought over by the Murong family when they were transporting people from the south of the Yangtze River before, and later stood out from it when the Tiance Mansion recruited officials, and he was also the only person in the Tiance Mansion official camp who could keep up with Li Xuanqing's economic reform thinking.

"Fellow villagers, Yin Honglin, the general office of Datang Qianzhuang in Xia Tiance Mansion. Today, Datang Qian Zhuang opened for the first time in Chang'an, thank you for coming to understand and consult. Datang Qianzhuang is the most active and convenient institution set up by the lord for the general public and industrial and commercial groups. Yin Honglin hugged his fist towards the surrounding crowd and began to explain in detail the role and function of the money bank, as well as the background and intention of the policies issued by the Department of Finance, and reminded everyone of the time limit for the exchange of Tang coins.

"This lord, below is Mo Wentian from Taibai Restaurant. My lord just said that we and other merchants need to open an account in the money bank and pay taxes also need to go through the money bank, so how to win the trust of the tax department? Just after Yin Honglin finished introducing the functions of the bank, an old man in his fifties among the merchants stood up and asked.

"After paying the tax, the bank will issue your payment slip as your tax payment voucher, and the tax department has also been notified that your tax payment is valid." Yin Honglin had just finished explaining, and someone asked, "My lord, after the issuance of this Tang coin, is it that the previous copper and silver coins cannot be used?" But Tang coins are paper money, what if you lose it? ”

Before Yin Honglin could speak, Mo Wentian smiled directly: "Shopkeeper Hao, you won't lose it if you use copper coins?" If you lose it, will the Finance Department compensate you? Have you not been to my Taibai restaurant to drink in the past few days, and your head is confused? Don't listen to him, don't listen to him, we support the issuance of Tang coins, but this Tang coin is paper money after all, we can recognize it if it is lost, it doesn't matter if everyone loses something, but what should I do if this paper money is in the water or damaged? And what if someone fakes it? ”

Mo Wentian's words made the big guy laugh at the same time, but also made Yin Honglin realize that he must answer these questions one by one today to do it, sometimes a new thing to promote is not enough to rely on the proclamation, but also need his own grassroots officials to go deep into the people to explain, so later Tiance Mansion also decisively adopted Yin Honglin's opinion, let the Ministry of Civil Affairs's Foreign Affairs Department branch a sub-agency, as a special propaganda channel for domestic policies, and later simply set up such posts in each department.

"The damaged Tang coin will be responsible for recycling, and the full amount of the damaged Tang coin will be exchanged for new coins if it is less than 40%, and the more than 40% will be exchanged according to 20% off. As for fakes? First of all, Tang Coin has a very good anti-counterfeiting system, and besides, the patrol hall is not a dry meal? The law of counterfeiters stipulates that the property will be confiscated at the least, and the head will be killed at the worst, which is the enemy of the people of the whole world. A cold light suddenly appeared in Yin Honglin's eyes.

"In addition, you need to make it clear that from today onwards, even if the Tang coins are officially issued, no one may refuse to use or accept the Tang coins, and those who violate the order are enemies of the Tiance Mansion." This sentence is a complete blockade of everyone's luck psychology, for a while everyone is looking at each other, compared to the land reform some time ago, because most of the people are displaced or landless, so the impact is not great, and even Tiance Mansion also took the initiative to divide the land to everyone, this kind of gentle policy for the majority of the people almost made everyone forget that this force that started in the northwest is actually full of iron and blood in his bones.

"Brother Yin, can Qian Zhuang exchange Tang coins today?" Just when everyone was silent, suddenly a crisp voice came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. I saw a team of people suddenly walking over from outside the crowd, but the people at the head were two women, one of them was dressed in a lilac dress, bright and dazzling, and the other was dressed in a long emerald and blue dress, and the two teams behind them were also dressed brightly, and they walked to Yin Honglin in a group of two carrying a large box.

"Subordinate Yin Honglin, meet Madame." Yin Honglin was taken aback when he saw the girl in the purple dress, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and it was Qiaoxi and Murong Feixue who came.

Yin Honglin's salute also made everyone present react, this was the hostess of Tiance Mansion, and everyone followed for a while. Such a big scene made Qiaoxi feel uncomfortable, a little at a loss, and didn't know what to do. Murong Feixue, who was on the side, pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister, why are you still so shy as the wife of the Great General of Tiance?" ”

Qiaoxi glanced at her, and said to Yin Honglin, who was standing in front of her: "Brother Yin, has Qianzhuang opened today?" We're here to exchange Tang coins, and we're going to go out to buy things later. ”

"Open the door, open the door. Madame, please, I'll have someone prepare it right away. Yin Honglin was stunned for a moment, and then said happily.

Qiaoxi shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yin, Qiaoxi doesn't have much money, just exchange it outside." It just so happened that the eldest brother's salary last month was paid, and in the morning he said that he would let me open an account and exchange Tang coins. These are all Sister Murong's, and their family has a lot of money. ”

Qiaoxi's words almost made Murong Feixue fall to the ground, when did this girl speak so sharply? However, remembering his brother's earlier explanation, he had no choice but to step forward and smile: "Lord Yin, Feixue represents the Murong family to exchange 200,000 copper coins, 500,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels of gold, please check it." Murong Feixue's words shocked everyone present, the financial strength of the Murong family was really amazing, and they had to exchange so much cash casually. At the same time, he was also shocked by the determination of the Tiance Mansion to implement the Tang coin.

At this time, a large group of people came behind again, these people were all dressed in military uniforms, and the people at the head were Li Tianyi and Xue Wanli, and the people behind were also a group of officers in new military uniforms.

"Sister-in-law, Miss Murong." Li Tianyi walked over and saluted Qiaoxi and said with a smile: "I thought that we, the soldiers who were on vacation today, would be the first to come, but I didn't expect the two of you to come first." Lord Yin, can you give us an exchange first, we will have a day off, and we are in a hurry to buy something. ”

"Please rest assured, there are ten windows prepared inside, which can be exchanged around the clock, and you can buy as much as you want." Yin Honglin laughed and started the on-site office, no longer paying attention to the hesitant crowd. And as Xue Wanli and others followed the staff of Qianzhuang into the hall to open an account and exchange Tang coins, it also gave the onlookers a most direct feeling, these Qianzhuang staff in uniform quickly collected the military ID cards of these officers, left a mark after comparison, opened an account and issued a passbook, and then took out the money allocated by the logistics department that month, and exchanged them into Tang coins one by one and distributed them to Xue Wanli and others. And Murong Feixue's generosity even counted and registered directly at the street entrance, and then transported to the secret vault in the back hall of the money village, where Murong Feixue took each shopkeeper to hold the business license of the industrial and commercial department and her own household registration certificate to issue the group's public account, and then deposited it according to their respective amounts, and finally exchanged it. I saw that when I came, there were twenty boxes of gold and silver treasures, but when I returned, there were only three boxes of Tang coins. As for Qiaoxi, who originally came to the town, Li Xuanqing's salary was only one hundred taels per month, Yin Honglin directly opened an account for her and deposited it, and then exchanged one hundred Tang coins of one thousand Wen.

With the actions of the Murong family, the branches of the five wealthy businessmen in Chang'an also started to act, and the two Datang money houses in Chang'an even lined up in long queues, these five involved a total of more than 50 shops, workshops, restaurants and other groups in Chang'an, plus the individuals within the family, directly covered all the time of the two big money houses in the morning, this kind of small is hundreds of taels, and most of them are the same as the Murong family, and the exchange of hundreds of thousands of taels directly ignited the original discussion scene in Chang'an City. And An Qixuan, a local businessman in Chang'an, also rushed to the location of the money village in Yongpingfang with a large group of people on the same day, and gave the money village the afternoon time to the round, and even in order to be in a hurry, this guy actually discussed with the vacation personnel of the internal security forces of the Tiance Army who lined up in advance, and asked the other party to give up the queue for a long time under the guise that he could spend at his own store at a discount.

Similar scenes occurred at the same time in Xiazhou, Lingzhou, and Fengzhou. However, the situation in various places is relatively different, compared to Chang'an, which needs to be driven by Tiance Mansion itself to have an effect, Xiazhou because it is the majority of the party clan, relying on the prestige of the high priest to exchange directly, Fengling and the two places because they are the old base of Tiance Mansion, almost at the first time when the money village opened, all the people and businessmen flocked to exchange Tang coins first, and then swaggered to the nearby shops to consume, and the owners of these shops obviously also received a notice from the Department of Industry and Commerce and the Department of Finance. There is no refusal to use Tang coins, and even the owners of many shops do not have time to exchange Tang coins themselves, and directly exchange them with these customers who come to the store to consume after the exchange. In just one day, the two places returned a total of 1.5 million copper coins, 1.3 million taels of silver, and 5,000 taels of gold. On the same day, these results were quickly delivered to the management department and the finance department of Datang Qianzhuang through the flying pigeon messenger.

"How did it turn out?" The office of the Department of Finance was in an independent palace in the Hall of Prayer, and Li Xuanqing saw Qi Hong and Yin Honglin coming over and asked.

"Lord Qi, today a total of 90 million Tang coins were exchanged, 3 million taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, and 3 million taels of copper coins. Tang coins were deposited back to 3 million. Yin Honglin saw Qi Hong nodding at him, and began to report.

Cen Tianshi smiled after hearing the result: "It seems that the lord's good start today is good." At least our own businessmen are supportive of this. ”

Li Xuanqing's face was solemn when he heard this, but he still nodded and said, "The result is good." Qian Zhuang and the Department of Finance should take advantage of this period of time to quickly reserve gold and silver, especially gold, and notify our major merchants to let them exchange their gold, and the Department of Finance can consider issuing special gold bonds to them. Remember that the basis for our issuance of Tang coins is not how much power the Tiance Mansion has, how much territory it controls, but how much gold it has in the hands of the Department of Finance. Considering that we are in a time of war, we may want to consider adding silver as well. This is called a reserve. In this way, the financial system of the entire country can be controlled. "Although the financial experience of the previous life was relatively common at the time, it was unprecedented in this era. In this era, no one can understand how to manage finance, so Li Xuanqing is not worried about the consequences of playing smashed, and besides, as long as Tiance Mansion does not fall, he will not smash it.

Li Xuanqing's words made everyone present confused for a while, but Yin Honglin's eyes became brighter and brighter, flashing with excitement.

"As for the copper coins, except for a few that the logistics department needs to reserve, the rest will be handed over to the five wealthy businessmen, all of whom will be spent and spent elsewhere, and we will use the copper coins to fight an unprecedented economic war." Li Xuanqing's quiet words injected a touch of unusual atmosphere into this era.
