Thanks to 1 Blue Orange 1 for the tip, Ayong thank you!
………………………………………………
At the end of the fifth year of Qianfu, people who were happy to welcome the new year suddenly found that the government had issued three laws on the use of flying money one after another. ¥°F, which are "Datang's New Law of Flying Money", "Datang Copper Coin Foot Law" and "Datang Prohibits Silk on Behalf of Money Law".
These three heart laws stipulate that silk silk is no longer allowed to be used instead of copper coins in Chang'an City, and it is strictly forbidden to use less than copper coins, and the rest is that the spring and summer taxes must be exchanged for the newly issued "flying money" at Xinglong Money Village.
Xinglong Qian Zhuang replaced the original cabinet shop, and people who came to Chang'an City from other places to exchange gold and silver for copper coins found that all they exchanged for gold and silver were colorful paper money.
The strangers listened to the persuasion of the money bankers, and half-convinced took some pieces of paper to the East and West Market to buy goods, and they were surprised to find that the merchants in the East and West Market welcomed them to use this kind of drawing paper.
In addition, if people pay a little attention, they will find men dressed in strange clothes, with pieces of colored paper, come to various merchants or vendors, and introduce them to the benefits of saving money in Xinglong Bank, which not only has interest but also ensures safety.
If the vendors or merchants have no intention of saving money, the bankers will recommend the loan business to their potential customers.
"Nobles, if you need money urgently, you can choose Xinglong Money Village, where the interest is low and the money is sufficient. If you don't believe the kid, then you know Yang Yan and Yang Xianggong in the court, our Xinglong Money Village was opened by Yang Xianggong at the invitation of the official. If you still don't believe it, then you know Prince Ji, our Xinglong Money Village was opened by Prince Ji. You should believe it, hey, yes. If you want to save money or borrow money, please go to Xinglong Bank. ”
………………………………
In less than a month, all kinds of people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City knew that the newly opened Xinglong Money Village could not only borrow money, save money, but also handle the original large-value coin delivery service.
Xinglong Qianzhuang has opened branches in several important places in Datang along with the daughter building of Prince Ji. The branch is currently only used to deliver large amounts of coins.
The great treasurers of Xinglong Qian Zhuang now have a new task, and each of them must be able to make friends with the envoys of the Jinju Yuan in the capital of the various feudal towns. After making friends, the next task is to convince them to adopt Xinglong Bank's flying money.
Longmen Dart Bureau, a nascent logistics company, undertakes the business of transferring large amounts of money for Xinglong Bank. and a paid dart service.
With the rise of the fame of Xinglong Qianzhuang, the flying money is gradually accepted by people, and the flying money of Xinglong Qianzhuang is divided into 100 yuan according to the face value, 100 yuan money, consistent money, 5 guan money, 10 guan money, 100 guan money, 500 guan money, and 1000 guan money.
After all, there are still copper coins in circulation on the market, so Li Bao can't be anxious and cancel the copper coins at one time, and he needs to slowly let people accept the paper/money, and wait until the time is ripe to cancel the copper coins.
In order to strengthen the circulation of flying money, Li Bao ordered the lottery ticket to be on sale, deliberately manipulating the number of winners of the fourth prize, which suddenly stimulated the passion of the people in Chang'an City to buy lottery tickets.
The issuance of the new version of the flying money, so that Yang Yan and the officials of the household department are very excited, this flying money is made of paper, although the printing process is complicated, but the flying money is the material of paper, which is much less troublesome than casting copper coins.
Therefore, the officials of the household department eagerly tried to pry Yang Yan, intending to print more flying money and use it instead of copper money, so that the interest on their sale of treasury bonds could be solved. No matter how much interest you have, you just need to print the flying money. These papers/banknotes can be printed as they please.
After Yang Yan heard the advice of his subordinates, he was quite moved, so in early December, Yang Yan made an appointment to meet Li Bao. The location is set at the headquarters of Xinglong Qianzhuang.
The purpose of Yang Yan's meeting with Li Bao was to discuss the issue of additional paper flying money, and to inquire about Li Bao's views on replacing copper coins with paper/money.
After Li Bao received the post, he gladly agreed. and invited Jing Xiang and Zhao Wenzhen, who were also idle, to meet Yang Yan together.
Jing Xiang and Zhao Wenzhen wanted to go through Li Bao's way, Li Bao already knew, and Li Bao agreed to their request.
The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty or the Ming and Qing dynasties, first of all, from the perspective of the difficulty of the examination, it is far inferior to the imperial examination of later generations.
The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was the easiest to take the Ming classics, and the content of the examination was nothing more than memorizing the classics, which was very similar to the missing words and filling in the blanks in later generations. Therefore, the champion of the Ming Classics is easy to be despised, so that many scholars are ashamed of the Ming Classics.
The most difficult test is the Jinshi subject, which accounts for the main score or poetry, which has reached the candidate's fame in society, and the rest is to test the scriptures and righteous policies, which is greatly more difficult, so many people may not be able to pass the test for decades.
Therefore, this sentence was circulated among the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, "Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi" means that it is already very old to be admitted to the Ming Jing Department at the age of thirty, and it is still a young person at the age of fifty to rely on the Jinshi Department.
Second, in terms of the frequency of examinations, the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty are almost every year, and the imperial examinations of later generations are basically once every three years. There are dozens of Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty every year, but most of these people are monopolized by five surnames and seven families or famous families. Ordinary people rarely pass the exam.
Third, judging from the path of entering the non-commissioned officer in the examination, it is also far inferior to the imperial examination of later generations. After the Jinshi examination of the Tang Dynasty, the official position is not awarded immediately, and it takes two to four years to be awarded the official position, but the official position only starts from the ninth grade. Only the champion can be awarded starting from the ninth grade, which is far lower than the seventh-rank official position in later generations.
Since Jing Xiang wants a jinshi who does not have gold content, with Li Bao's current power and influence, why not satisfy him? Of course, what Li Bao didn't know was that Jing Xiang also failed in the Chang'an scientific examination, and happened to encounter the attack of Huangchao, so he had to flee to Zhu Wen's territory, thus getting acquainted with Zhu Wen and starting his career as the first mastermind of the five generations.
After Li Bao agreed to Jing Xiang and Zhao Wenzhen's request, the two were very happy, so they often visited Li Bao, and Li Bao also tried his best to win over the two of them. Slowly, Jing Xiang and Zhao Wenzhen became interested in Li Bao.
Facing Jing Xiang's return, Li Bao was very happy. Now he has carried out too many things, Liang Hongmei and his wife are already busy and can't be separated, and the affairs of Xinglong Qianzhuang need someone to share it for him.
Therefore, Li Bao thought of Jing Xiang and his friend Zhao Wenzhen, two scholars, who were familiar with the scriptures and meanings, and agreed with Li Bao's philosophy, and admired Li Bao's knowledge and status. These all constitute Li Bao's determination to hand over Xinglong Qianzhuang to Jingxiang.
So after Li Bao received Yang Yan's invitation, he immediately called Jing Xiang and Zhao Wenzhen. and instructed them to prepare well to meet Yang Yan, the finance minister of the dynasty.
On the way to meet Yang Yan, Li Bao and Jing Xiang chatted about his ideas on the issuance of paper/money, and the other one also told the two of them some economic principles and some things about currency, and the two felt that Li Bao's theory was very novel after listening to it. Li Bao then asked them if they would like to help him do something, and the two of them immediately said that they were very willing.
After receiving the reply from the two, Li Bao was very happy, and told them some key points to meet Yang Xianggong today, and asked them to listen to the lecture with an open mind after they arrived, but not to be too dull, and the two immediately agreed.
Li Bao has heard of Yang Yan's thoughts, after all, now that Jin Luanwei has developed to this day, he already has some ears, eyes and eyeliner in Chang'an City.
After Li Bao and the others arrived at Xinglong Village, Yang Yan had not yet arrived, so Li Bao took the two of them to visit Xinglong Village first.
