Chapter 49: You Don't Want to Buy My Arms

Nana's pain may still continue, such a thing is the first big choice in life, and it can only be decided by herself...... But on the island of Liuqiu, few people noticed the pain of a little girl. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, the Liuqiu coin issued by Zhang Island has attracted everyone's attention and discussion, which is not a question of whether it is okay or not...... The earliest banknotes of the Great Song Dynasty were issued by private individuals.

As mentioned above, the Great Song Dynasty government made certain progress in both the fields of state monopoly and private free economy, and pursued a defensive policy abroad, but it was more aggressive in the commercial aspect of the economic field, especially in Sichuan, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang...... Even private banknotes were issued!

This cannot but be said that the free economic thinking of the Great Song Dynasty was very rampant......

Take the Sichuan region as an example.

Because Sichuan escaped the wars of the Sui and Tang dynasties, its economy was relatively independent, and their issuance of iron money was one of its major characteristics.

However, it is quite inconvenient to carry iron coins, but copper coins are scarce and it is difficult to replace the status of iron coins.

A housewife also needs to carry a lot of iron money to buy salt in the market, and the small money weighs 65 catties every 10 yuan, and the large money is consistent, and it weighs 12 catties, and it is bought and sold in the market.

For example, to buy a horse, you need to use 20,000 iron money...... I'll go, it's only twenty times, and it will weigh more than 100 pounds!

Copper coins are easy to use, each copper coin is ten iron coins, but the circulation of copper coins is gone, of course the Great Song Dynasty knows that this is into the private money cellar, they have persuaded even to scare private people to take out the circulation, but also called on the Great Song Dynasty officials to take the lead...... But the effect is not great, people think that there is nothing to buy, of course they will not take it out and spend it!

As a result, the rats were all saved for the cats, and later they were all cheaper for the Tatars...... The Great Song Dynasty government recognized private ownership, and if the Tatars also recognized private ownership, then do you think they are serving you?!

What yours, his, all the state, all mine!

If history had not changed, the entire Tatar people had not minted much money during their reign, and a lot of copper coins were circulating in the market at once!

Even the Ming and Qing dynasties have been using it......

When they're done spending...... They began to print money, and the common people hoarded copper coins again.

Waiting for the copper coins on the market to be gone, the Tatars will have another round of raids.

Let's talk about the Great Song Dynasty......

The economic prosperity and currency shortage of the Great Song Dynasty, the development of Sichuan tea and horse trade, and the bulkiness of Sichuan iron money, led to the birth of Jiaozi in a relatively independent and special Sichuan.

Jiaozi was originally used as a private paper as a substitute for precious metals, silk and other currencies, which can be understood as an early bill of exchange.

Subsequently, the private Jiaozi began to enter the vision of the official family, and under the promotion of the competent local officials several times, it finally came into being.

The Great Song Dynasty government officially issued the "Jiaozi" banknote, the number of which was 1,880,000 guan, and the biennial issuance quota was 1256340 every two years thereafter.

With the intervention of the state, Jiaozi achieved greater success, which not only solved the credit problem of private Jiaozi, but also was welcomed by Sichuan tea merchants engaged in cross-regional and cross-border trade, resulting in the "Jiaozi" being traded at a premium, often at a higher price than the listed price.

Jiaozi's commercial success also made Jiaozi a part of the state finance, and the Song government's increasing military spending was also looking for a way, and various financial innovations continued to ferment.

In order to provide security for military supplies and encourage merchants to transport goods to the frontier, the Great Song government authorities even invented a kind of promissory note, that is, "cash transfer", to save merchants on the cost of transportation currency.

These bills were further cashed into iron money or "jiaozi", which worked well, and the right to issue them was later concentrated in the capital Kaifeng.

Even the tea and salt introductions that can be used to deal in tea, as well as the degree of monks and Taoists, have been added to the paper money system!

Of course, these latter are subject to negotiation between the two parties.

The next question comes, which everyone knows, and there is no need to say it again.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Guoan Island owner issued a stream of coins.

However, the conversion of the Liuqiu currency and the Great Song Dynasty currency made people talk about it.

He stipulated that the paper money of the Great Song Dynasty was converted into the paper money of the Great Song Dynasty to four to one, the copper money of the Great Song Dynasty was converted to one point and two to one, and even gold and silver were converted to one to one.

His reasons are strong, his gold, silver and copper coins are of high purity, and his metal coins are stamped.

In this time and space, the currency of the Great Song Dynasty was cast, and the West was smashed with a hammer.

So, my metal currency is exquisite, and it can also resist scratches and other small behaviors.

It is not enough to just seek passage on the island, he must advance his monetary system into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, he couldn't go ahead, and only stipulated more than 20 commodities that the Great Song Dynasty could not produce for the time being, and only collected and begged for currency.

The Great Song Dynasty was previously issued by private currency, and of course it was impossible to avoid local chaos.

For example, the wealthy merchant who first privately made friends later did not operate well, and the banknotes he issued eventually became waste paper.

After the Great Song Dynasty began to intervene in the issuance, the people often automatically chose the state, and private banknotes were squeezed out of the market.

This means that in the beginning, the Great Song state often meant a higher credit rating than private individuals, and could even be used at a premium.

However, once the state abuses such credit excessively and issues currency indiscriminately, it will inevitably suffer from depreciation eventually...... Therefore, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, must squeeze out the water here, and he set a low discount, and even a little loss, but considering the profiteering nature of his products, he also admitted it.

He admitted his loss, but the issuance of Liuqiu coins in the Great Song Dynasty was not smooth sailing.

At first, it was okay on the island, because you can use it to pay taxes, and you can use it to buy goods, such as various raw materials or commodities.

However, the conversion of Liuqiu coins and Great Song Dynasty banknotes is too high in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty merchants!

Even Liu Qianxing, the capital of Lin'ancheng Treasure Shop, wrote a letter asking himself why he had made such a conversion...... Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, wrote several reasons in his reply.

The first is that he first calculated it in terms of rice, saying that the money of the Great Song Dynasty was in the market of Liuqiu Island, and the rice that could be bought for four yuan could be bought with the paper money of the consistent face value of the Liuqiu coin.

Second, I ship goods to you, of course I can stipulate what currency is required...... Needless to say, this is not a big deal.

Third, the purity of my metal currency is originally higher than that of the Great Song!

Subsequently, he brought a complete set of samples to Liu Qianxing.

These three reasons made Liu Qian speechless...... I had no choice but to accept this request.

Of course, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not keep his eyes on the common people, and still had to start from the top floor.

However, he proposed to the Great Song Dynasty government that he should settle the arms and weapons import project with flowing currency...... This made Pingzhang Jia Yidao angry at this old dog, why did my Da Song use the meeting you issued? !

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, was absolutely not polite to this old dog...... You can not buy!

The old dog looked at Zhang Guoan's reply and suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "That descendant is still a little angry...... Hehe. (To be continued.) )
