Chapter 6: The Wolf Is Coming

This unexpected turmoil did not affect the mood of Jiang Chuan and the others too much.

Of course, only Ji Biao was the one who was most affected. He was depressed that he had lost face in front of Jiang Chuan and his brothers today, and his aggressive punch was easily caught by a woman, and he also bounced himself back, which was unimaginable before.

However, he had also heard of the masters of the inner family before, and knew that the masters of the inner family had cultivated their true qi and internal strength, and it was definitely not something that a warrior like them who completely relied on physical strength could shake alone.

Jiang Chuan didn't blame him, but he himself has always been a little angry.

The shopkeeper who was frightened and shrunk aside just now became more attentive, and quickly arranged a place for Jiang Chuan and his party to live and brought food.

Jiang Chuan naturally gave him some rewards, but it was not gold and silver, but legal currency.

The guy in the store was stunned for a moment when he saw the fiat currency given by the dignified noble man in front of him, and then quickly accepted it and thanked Jiang Chuan with a smile.

"Childe and everyone, please use it slowly, if you need anything, you can pull this bell at any time, and the villain will arrive immediately." The shopkeeper bowed down and said attentively.

"Little second brother is slow. I want to know, do you recognize what you have in your hands? Jiang Chuan asked, pointing to the fiat currency in the shop's small second-hand hand.

"Naturally, I recognize that this is a banknote issued by the imperial court, and the official name is the method currency, but we all call him a new banknote." The shopkeeper said with a grin.

"New banknotes? Why is it called a new banknote? Jiang Chuan asked curiously.

"Gongzi should know that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu once issued treasure banknotes, and in the end, because they were worthless because of indiscriminate issuance, they became waste paper. Now the imperial court has issued paper money again, so everyone calls it new banknotes. ”

"I see. So how is this new banknote circulating in Jining City now? Jiang Chuan nodded and asked again.

"Half and half. The imperial court also set up a branch of the Zhongzhou Bank in our city, and asked everyone to exchange the gold and silver in their hands for new banknotes. The government also issued a proclamation, requiring that no payment be made with gold, silver and copper coins, and violators should be severely punished. However, the big guy is still worried that this new banknote will eventually become like a treasure banknote, so he will exchange a small amount of it for the inspection of the government. However, after all, the government can't control it so much, and everyone is still trading with gold, silver and copper coins in private. ”

The shopkeeper saw that Jiang Chuan was so kind, and he didn't know how to open the conversation.

When Bai Jinxiu and the others heard this, they couldn't help frowning, and looked at Jiang Chuan with some concern.

Everyone knows very well that the implementation of fiat currency is the new policy that Jiang Chuan attaches the most importance to, and now that Jining City is so disobedient, how can he not be angry?

Jiang Chuan was very calm, and asked again: "Then little brother, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to use my new banknote?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Childe doesn't know. Although everyone regards gold and silver as treasures, they also know that this new banknote is light and easy to carry. The most important thing is that if you want to exchange gold and silver, the bank will directly exchange it, and it will not be perfunctory. Therefore, more and more people are using this new banknote now. After all, the big guys are not blind and can see the benefits of this new banknote. ”

After pulling the guy from the shop and asking a few more questions, Jiang Chuan let him go down.

Looking back at everyone's expressions, Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Why do you all look at me like this?" ”

"Everyone is afraid that you will be angry because of this guy's words just now, after all, this fiat currency is the new deal that you have been vigorously promoting." Bai Jinxiu said with a smile.

"I had expected this situation for a long time, and it was like this when the capital first implemented it. People are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and they are worried about the depreciation of legal tender without using fiat currency, which will become the same as the Daming treasure banknotes of the year. However, as long as the imperial court does not issue fiat currency indiscriminately and can insist on the exchange of pure gold and two, the credibility of the imperial court will gradually be established. The people will naturally pay more attention to the convenience of fiat currency, and everything will fall into place at that time. To put it bluntly, the credibility of the imperial court is fundamental, and the decree and punishment are only auxiliary means. ”

Egawa explained.

Everyone showed all their thoughts, especially Yoo Yong.

Liu Ru looked at Jiang Chuan with some inexplicable look in his eyes.

"If a man has no faith, he does not know what he can do. This is especially true of the imperial court, if the imperial decree is changed overnight, and the decree is arbitrary, it will gradually lose the credibility and authority of the imperial court, and the people will naturally have no sense of awe. Without awe, it will be made up of a wolf to come to the child, and eventually be eaten by the wolf. ”

Liu Ru said curiously: "Childe, what is the story of the wolf?" ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had said something wrong, so he told the story of the wolf again.

"This kid really deserves to die, he really deserves it." Bai Jinxiu listened.

"That is, there is no good end for deceiving people." Liu Ru also agreed.

"You'll deceive people from below, and you'll be able to pay it back when you grow up."

"Stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you are big, and you will definitely be a traitor when you grow up."

"That's right, it's better to let the wolf eat it."

A group of people discussed, and after a while, Jiang Chuan found that the building was already crooked, dumbfounded, and expressed dissatisfaction with the woman's associative ability.

They lived in a relatively independent small courtyard, and after everyone finished eating, Ji Biao took someone to arrange the guard task, and Jiang Chuan returned to his room.

After a day on the ship, feeling a little tired, I pulled the bell under the table in the room, and soon a shopkeeper came over.

Jiang Chuan asked them to prepare a large bucket of hot water, and they took a beautiful bath, and they suddenly felt refreshed.

After taking a bath, he wore his hair loose, changed into a loose robe, and sat at the table to practice calligraphy with his hands.

He now has to practice calligraphy for a while every day, and every time he practices calligraphy, he feels that his state of mind can quickly calm down, so he slowly enjoys this feeling.

After practicing the words for a while, there was a knock on the door.

It was Bai Jinxiu who came in.

She also looked like she had just taken a shower, and although she was neatly dressed and her hair was combed, her red cheeks and still damp hair proved it.

Under the reflection of the lights, it looked even more beautiful, making Jiang Chuan a little unable to take his eyes off for a while.

"The beauty is out of the bath, and it is really more moving." Jiang Chuan couldn't help but praise.

Bai Jinxiu's face was even redder, but the corners of her mouth were more shy.

Egawa took her hand, and the two sat down around the table.

"Xiaowen is back?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Well, she just came back and it's a bit complicated. I told her to keep an eye on those people, and I'll tell you what the Black Ice Terrace is finding so far. Bai Jinxiu nodded.

Somewhat complicated? This seems to be interesting. Jiang Chuan's fingers tapped on the table, and the corners of his mouth showed a thoughtful smile.
