Chapter 151 Current Situation of Currency in Circulation
"How to find people to plant the newly purchased land, you have thought a lot about these things, and you have thought about them thoroughly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info How much money is used for these things, you just have to ask me to pay for it, but this account must also be kept in a good book, and one yard will be one yard. "Lin Yuzhi doesn't want to use money to test human nature, do the accounts that should be done, check the checks, do a good job, the awards that should be awarded, one yard is one yard!
"Hey, young master, the little one knows, he must do things seriously." Niu Zhuang hurriedly replied.
At noon, Lin Yuzhi and everyone ate a big pot of rice together, a big pot of pork stew, and drank big bone soup and mung bean soup.
Tian Lao and the others followed Lin Yuzhi lively, everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was warm!
After resting for half an hour after the meal, Lin Yuzhi said goodbye to everyone, only took thirteen to catch the carriage, and the two returned to the city.
Niu Zhuang stayed, and he still had the errand arranged by Lin Yuzhi to be busy. Eleven was also left behind, there are a lot of errands arranged today, only Niu Zhuang is afraid that he can't be busy, and the matter of buying land is urgent, let Eleven help a little!
Lin Yu went to the farm this time, and he felt a lot of touch.
......
Lin Yuzhi sat on the carriage on the way back, and asked the thirteen who were driving the carriage outside, "I remember, how do I remember today, Niu Zhuang returned pork for thirty wen and one catty, and one tael of silver can buy twenty-three catties of pork, how did his account be calculated?" Where is it counted? Isn't it supposed to be able to buy thirty-three catties of pork? How do I remember him saying twenty-three pounds, do you hear what he said at the time? This math is taught by a geography teacher! ā
"Ouch, young master, you said this, I know about this, don't you buy more than twenty-three catties of pork for one or two pieces of silver, and now one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for copper money, and you can exchange it for six or seven hundred wen, don't you know about this? Master. Thirteen was outside whipping up his way while giving Lin Yuzhi a reply.
Lin Yuzhi sat up straight and said curiously, "Isn't this two pieces of silver worth worth a thousand copper coins?" How can it be six or seven hundred? ā
"I don't know, anyway, ordinary people can exchange more than 600 Wen, and at most no more than 700 Wen. This is silver for copper money, if copper money for silver, it will be nearly 1,000 Wen. Oh, young master, this is indeed quite strange for you to ask, what is the reason? Thirteen didn't know why, and it was also very strange, so he could only answer truthfully.
Lin Yuzhi is even more strange, the Dayong Dynasty implemented a parallel monetary system of silver money, in order to facilitate circulation, silver needs to be cast into silver ingots of different weights, and official and private silver furnaces can be freely minted in various places, and the government does not interfere. As the legal minting of copper coins in the imperial court, the production and circulation process was strictly controlled, and the crimes of private minting and private destruction were punished according to the law. In daily life, silver is used for large numbers and money for small numbers, as the equivalent of general commodities, and both play an equally important role in the exchange of commodities. In order to regulate the order of the money market, the imperial court used silver to power money, and clearly stipulated that "every money is worth one thousand and one tael of silver", and "it will always be a law".
What is the reason why one or two taels of silver can only be exchanged for six or seven hundred wen now?
In the Dayong Dynasty, most of the circulation and trading in the market are copper coins, although silver is also the currency in circulation at this time, but now most people are not rich, the poor are the majority, copper coins are still used as the main currency.
Originally, the official price set by the imperial court was one tael of silver for one thousand copper coins, but now one tael of silver can only be exchanged for 600 to 700 copper coins. Then, the people have to pay all kinds of taxes, if the court stipulates that this peasant family must pay a certain tax of three taels of silver a year, but if according to what was just said, the common people have no silver, they all use copper coins to circulate, obviously six or seven hundred copper coins on the market can be exchanged for one or two silver, obviously according to the market price only need to pay 2,000 copper coins to deduct taxes, but the court does not care, must come according to the official price, the common people can't redeem silver, no silver, you have to pay 3,000 copper coins.
If this is the case, what about those corrupt officials, they have silver, and after they have collected the copper coins from the people, they will take out three taels of silver themselves, and exchange them for the tax money of 3,000 copper coins paid by the peasants.
It's scary to think about!
Lin Yuzhi felt that this matter should be cautious and not taken lightly.
Thirteen knows less, and he may not be able to understand many things, so he should go to Ma Qiang to see if he knows more information. Moreover, Zhao San still has the manpower to inquire about the news, and there are about ten people, and now Ma Qiang is also taking over.
Now I don't have to deliberately explore anything for their arrangement, just collect and sort out the rumors in the market, as for whether this information works and what it does, then we have to analyze it in detail.
The carpentry workshop is near Xiaohuangzhuang outside Andingmen, which is more convenient, that is, a little detour, if you go to Xiaohuangzhuang first and then go back to the academy, you can enter the city directly from Andingmen.
"Thirteen, let's not go back to the city today, let's go to the carpentry workshop first. Ma Qiang should be over there, I still have some things to look for him. Lin Yuzhi commanded.
Of course Thirteen is willing, the carpentry workshop still has many friends of his own, and now that he is with the young master, he doesn't often meet with them, and when he heard that he was going to go now, he naturally responded happily, "Okay, young master, then I will change my route to the carpentry workshop." ā
......
It didn't take long for Thirteen to drive the carriage to the carpentry workshop of Xiaohuangzhuang.
Lin Yuzhi was led into the workshop by the thirteenth, this is the first time he came, it is still very novel, Lin Yuzhi looked around, this is a second courtyard, after coming in, I saw that the front yard was very neat and neat, basically I couldn't see any grass and trees. The yard is also tidy up to be suitable for workmanship, and there are signs hanging outside each room, some writing log warehouses, some writing finished product warehouses, furniture workshops one and two, painting rooms, and grocery warehouses.
Lin Yuzhi nodded, this is very good, it is classified, it is clearly understood, it gives people a good impression, it is full of scientific management, it seems that Zhao San is still very good at management.
This front yard is for work, and the back yard is probably for accommodation and office. Later, when the workshop produces more and the workers are more proficient, the backyard can also be converted into a workshop, and the accommodation can purchase another yard.
Lin Yuzhi took Thirteen to check in the courtyard, and the workers of the workshop saw it, everyone knew Thirteen, and they all stepped forward to say hello.
Thirteen naturally proudly introduced to everyone, "This is Young Master Lin, brothers, I brought Young Master Lin to you." ā
As soon as everyone heard that it was Lin Yuzhi coming, they all hurriedly stepped forward to salute, as if they had seen a rare animal.
Lin Yuzhi also greeted everyone with a helpless smile.
