(Maopu Chinese) Before the Yuan Dynasty, the currencies of all dynasties were the copper standard, with copper money as the main circulation currency, gold and silver as precious metals can also be used as circulation currency but are used by nobles, it is strictly forbidden for ordinary people to use, ordinary people use gold and silver must be exchanged for copper coins, thus forming a diversified currency system of gold, silver and copper and mixed circulation of multiple currencies. v o d t . c o m

Hearing what Lord Le said, several people present glanced at each other, and someone said: "If Le Futai intends to operate a gold and silver shop, we will work together to send the adult family!" ”

Shaking his head slightly, it was obvious that Master Le was not here, so he said: "The gold and silver shop that you talked about and the gold and silver shop that Le envisioned are completely two different concepts, and what this official wants to do is to connect the world." ”

In the Tang and Song dynasties, most of the gold and silver shops were sole proprietorships or partnership financing operations, and the larger gold and silver shops in addition to the deposit and lending business were the exchange business of exchanging gold, silver and copper coins.

Lord Le slowly explained: "You all know that I pay a lot of taxes in the Song Dynasty, and businessmen need to pay taxes when they pass through the checkpoints, and the traveler is cumin, and the coins on his body also need to pay relevant taxes, and the copper coins are even heavier and not easy to carry, so the official wants to set up a large chain gold and silver shop, which can also be called a money bank or ticket number, in addition to handling money deposit and lending business, it can also issue bank tickets, silver money tickets, and exchange money with tickets. You can even exchange silver money with the banker's ticket in the bank's bank. ”

Hearing what Lord Le said, several people glanced at each other, saying that these companies have gold and silver shops to the business of gold and silver shops are naturally very familiar, but the last thing Lord Le said is the issuance of bank tickets, silver money tickets, exchange money with tickets, and even exchange silver money with the semicolon of the bank, which made a few people surprised and eye-opening.

At this time, the "Jiaozi" is only a deposit and withdrawal voucher, not a currency. In the first year of the Later Renzong Dynasty, the imperial court set up Yizhou Jiaozi in Chengdu, and the Beijing Dynasty official served as the supervisor to preside over the distribution of Jiaozi, and "set up a paper making courtyard to reform the disadvantages of forgery", and strictly enforced its printing process. This is the earliest officially issued banknote in Chinese history - "Guanjiaozi", which was used throughout the two Song Dynasty.

Even the government kept coins in gold and silver shops to collect interest, which is also observable in history.

In the end, it was the white man who spoke first, saying: "Le Futai, this matter is very important, Xiaomin thinks that this matter should not be rushed, first make a gold and silver shop storefront, and then slowly figure it out." ”

"It's not to make a shop, but to make a few shops, at least in each of the nine counties of Hangzhou to open a shop, to be in Hangzhou under the rule of the counties after the operation is mature, and then promote to the two Zhejiang Road several major state capitals, with the state capital as the center of the radiation county, spread all over the entire Liangzhejiang Road, and then spread all over the Great Song Dynasty." Seeing the image of a few people who obviously intended to move, Lord Le said step by step.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts trembled, if it was done at that point, the court could not treat these businessmen as a casual treat, and there was a fluttering feeling in their hearts.

Not only the Great Song Dynasty, but also the Great Liao, the Western Xia, and Goryeo, the five people present trembled in unison when they heard this sentence, and the size of the picture of Lord Le was beyond everyone's imagination, what does it mean that the money village is all over the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, the Western Xia, and Goryeo? It means that it controls the economic lifeline of the sky, and any country or the royal family must not treat themselves and others lightly, and it is not impossible to treat the guests.

A few people outside the white staff know in their hearts that Lord Le accepts the daughter of Wang Yuanwai as a concubine, not to mention that this matter is also a well-known thing in Qiantang and Hangzhou Mansion, this Lord Le wants to run a gold and silver shop and a money village, and he can pull his father-in-law, and there will be no reason to pit himself and others.

Suddenly, a few people outside the white staff realized another reason, now Le Daren is not only a county parent, but also controlled the Hangzhou water army, and even crossed the line when patrolling the river, because the smuggling of copper ingots squeezed the space of Yuezhou and Xiuzhou water armies, judging from what Le Daren did, in the long run, the Qiantang River waterway and even the entire Hangzhou Bay are under the control of Le Daren, and their own people are destined to be controlled by it.

Hearing this, several people outside the white staff looked at each other, and Master Le said that this matter was not the main topic, so what else did he have to say next? The heart began to get worried again, judging from the two things before and after, Lord Le obviously did not plan too much for his own personal gain, and it was because of this that a few people outside the white staff were worried in their hearts, if Lord Le asked for a price, everything was easy to say, and the hearts of the four people were put down, but Lord Le did not mean to open his mouth for himself, which made several people feel that things were becoming more and more difficult.

As the so-called spending money to avoid disasters, as long as the case of Meng Erzhu is suppressed, anything that is paid can be done, and the white clerk hurriedly said: "Le Futai emphasizes the style of educating and rejuvenating the saints, and we are willing to give money to help the county!" ”

The Qiantang field is only five guan one acre, and two hundred mu is not a thousand guan money, which of these five people here is not a rich family with a net worth of hundreds of thousands, compared to the previous cost of repairing the embankment, a thousand guan money is nothing.

These students of the county school are the main force of the local scholars, and the Great Song Dynasty also has the saying that they do not judge crimes by the words and deeds of the literati, and these scholars who read are full of food and have nothing to do, and they love to form groups to discuss things and wrongs, and the content that comes out of their mouths is often the public opinion on behalf of the local people, which is the largest public opinion tool in the mainstream society of a locality, and it is also one of the civil forces that restrict the power of the county.
