Chapter 801: Promotion
Curious, they asked about the origin of the silver coin, because the coinage is also a temporary decision, so there is no fanfare, at this time the staff in the money bank is naturally patient to explain: this is a measure that the lord of the country came up with to protect the rights and interests of merchants, and at the same time convenient for everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If you think about it, the value of each silver coin minted by the government has been confirmed by the government, and there is no need to worry about different colors of silver, and the transaction procedure has been greatly simplified.
Naturally, these merchants who came to withdraw money accepted this statement, but there must have been many shrewd people among them who would have asked about the weight and fineness, so the people of Miyako Coin also frankly told them about these two problems with the silver coins, and told the people who came to inquire that those who were in short supply had entered the treasury of the Oriental Han Kingdom and stored them as silver coins. If there are still people who can't believe it, the lord of the country has also spoken, and it is sure that it is genuine, and one or two silver coins can be exchanged for the equivalent of one or two silver coins in Miyako Money Village at any time, and all those who still have concerns will be relieved when they hear this.
When the dollar was first issued, it was able to exchange gold directly from the bank, but with the change of the times, this function was finally canceled, which was a necessary way to seek the trust of the people in the early days of the issuance of symbol currency, and after all, silver coins still have their actual value, so at least for the value of silver coins, most people have no worries.
So driven by a Chinese merchant eating crabs for the first time, more than a dozen merchants took out brand-new and shiny silver coins one after another. In order to prevent counterfeiting, this silver coin still did a lot of work, such as Li Yang's head like the sideburns of the hair is three strands, there is a small engraved Li Yang in the lower right corner of the words of the Oriental Han Dynasty, etc., maybe there will be imitations of people out, but that is also a period of time, in this era when history has been out of the original track, only what problems can be specifically analyzed and solved.
When the dozen or so merchants began to shop at the market with the thousands of silver coins they had taken out, the government-run shops and workshops that had already been notified were all green lights all the way to put away the new silver coins.
At this time, the transportation consultation is inconvenient, and the appearance of something new naturally has attracted everyone's attention, and the news that the lord of the country has a new silver coin that is convenient for everyone to trade quickly spread, and there are still very few silver coins circulating in the market at this time, and many wealthy people at home also went to the government shops to exchange a silver coin with scattered silver, just to see the true face and satisfy the curiosity in their hearts.
"Tsk, look at the image on this silver coin, it is really similar to the lord of the country, this money can be made really carefully, ouch, I think this weight is enough for one or two, right? Maybe there are more, no, I have to weigh it, in case it is heavier than one or two, isn't it a big loss? ”
"Lao Liu, don't worry about it, the people in Miyako Qianzhuang have said that it's almost one or two, and the lord of the country doesn't need to charge some taxes if it's convenient! And the people in the money bank said that if you don't believe that this money can be used as one or two, you can go to the money bank at any time and exchange it for one or two feet of loose silver. ”
Such conversations can be heard everywhere on the streets, and the constant exposure to new things has broadened the horizons of the citizens of Miyakojima.
There are really more real people with a dozen silver coins to the bank to exchange, really exchanged into a dozen taels of broken silver, he wrapped the loose silver with a rag, just walked out of the door and folded back, or begged the money dealer to exchange it for him back into silver coins, this silver coin a small cake, a tael, others put it away is also refreshing, and it is much more convenient to carry it than the broken silver.
Unexpectedly, but smoothly beyond Li Yang's expectations, the issuance of silver coins did not encounter the slightest obstacle, and soon more than 130,000 silver coins were sent out by the Qian Bank, and more than 80,000 silver coins soon entered the various markets of the Oriental Han Kingdom.
Although it had been notified before, Tanegashima still used an urgent carrier pigeon letter to confirm whether the silver coins had really been issued, and merchants using silver coins had already appeared on Tanegashima, and the speed of transmission was too fast.
This is only a short-term benefit, and when the market fully accepts the 500,000 silver coins, the entire domestic trading volume of the Oriental Han needs more than this amount, if any country is also willing to use the silver coins of the Oriental Han Kingdom for trade, then the silver coins that can be circulated in the market will greatly exceed this amount, and they will also obtain greater benefits and income, and in this way, there will be more and more people who are firmly tied to their own national credit, and their personal prestige will be higher and higher.
At least in the short term, it's all in a virtuous circle.
The queue training, which is called a fancy frame by outsiders, has always been a feature maintained by the Oriental Han Kingdom, and it is also a reserved item in the selection and assessment, but in this item, it is not possible to change people, and those who can stay in the legion are all familiar with the queue.
The selection mainly depends on three items: one is long-distance running, which is inevitable, in this era the army wants to move, except that you are a cavalry, otherwise you have to rely on your own two legs, which is also the most basic soldier quality.
On this item, some soldiers were eliminated, because this assessment was too strict, and they had to carry their own weapons and a lot of supplies on their backs for twenty miles over the mountains and mountains, and the archers were originally secretly happy, who knew that one person was notified to hang three more pots of arrows, the reason was that the rapid march commander drove straight in, if the arrows were not enough to rely on you to strangle people with bowstrings?
The second is the technical attack, the archers and gunners are more accurate, and they all have their own set of assessment methods, and the specific operation of Miyako Li Wen Wang Hu and the people from the military academy below will do it, so that it will be eliminated according to high standards and strict requirements, even if it is originally a very elite legion, there is only a small half left.
On the fifth day, looking at the straight and strong eight hundred warriors standing in front of him, Li Yang nodded secretly, although the slave legion was mainly native, but looking at the more than eight hundred people under this stage, except for the darker complexion, they didn't look like the dry and thin natives in their impressions, after all, it was impossible to stand out from the high-intensity assessment without the necessary physical strength as a foundation.
And then the third assessment announced by Li Yang made all the soldiers dumbfounded: water warfare
This assessment is not only to go to sea by boat, but also to jump on the sea, carry out technical combat on the ship, shoot arrows and open artillery, and decompose a series of specific indicators for armed swimming.
A large group of soldiers listened bitterly: We are infantry.
But in Li Yang's thoughts, even if it is infantry in the Eastern Han Kingdom, it must be the Marine Corps in the East China Sea, and the Eastern Han Kingdom can be said to have no major natural enemies, so the future road is basically outward expansion and war, even if it is the army, in this Eastern Han Kingdom, if it cannot cooperate well with the ships, then the army can actually do nothing, which has been shown in previous battles.
