\ Lost in 16291660 "small" questions
For most people. ★ Aishang Novel Network (╰→dyzωw) is updated quickly, and the novel is complete ★, and this silver dollar is much more useful than the original broken silver. In particular, several large merchants in Qiongzhou Mansion have been greeted by the front - in the future, the use of silver dollars to pay taxes can exempt fire and money. This makes merchants happy to collect cash dollars.
However, there have been some "small" problems during this period. Of course, it was quickly resolved.
First of all, I ran into a number of dead-brained defenders. For example, last time, Wu Xiucai, who inexplicably sent a plaque to recruit short-haired Wu Xiucai. This time it's time to find something to do again - with him at the head. A large number of talented people and other sour literati collectively held silver dollars engraved with Zhu Yuanzhang's head. He actually ran to the gate of the government to beat the drum and complain. It is said that it is not in line with the ancestral law to engrave the head of the grandfather on this coin. It's a great disrespect. Ask the government to pursue it.
There is no prefect in Qiongzhou now. There is no school politics either. After the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the army. The slightly older officials are all gone.
At present, all the affairs of the local civil government, such as learning, are managed by Wang Pu - among all the officials. Count his Jinshi brand as the hardest. Even if you make some unconventional judgments. Others have nothing to say. If you change to an ordinary clerk. But the town is not a local group of literati.
But when Wang Jieshan received this state. But I also felt a headache - more than one official had already found out about it when I received the money that day. But none of them brought it up. Including himself. Everyone silently accepted the currency.
But that's not to say they're not as smart as these sour showmen. And it is precisely because they have much more knowledge than this group of rural buns - the southern region has a long history of trading with the Western Yi people. As an official. They have not seen the gold and silver currency used by the Yi people. I know that it is common to have a head carved on it. If it weren't for the emperor's honor. You still don't enjoy this treatment.
So even if it is Wang Pu, a member of the Donglin Party. I also disagree with the accusations of "great disrespect" that Wu Xiucai kept shouting. What's more, it's something made by shorthair. They conquered the city and destroyed even the imperial army. There is no respect for the Ming Dynasty. It is an outlier to be willing to keep the original government. That Wu Xiucai read and read badly. Do you really think that this government can make an appointment with Short Hair?
Just look at the large number of people in the hall. Wang Pu also does not want to be the target of public criticism. So he asked the official to invite a short-haired leader to come and talk about the trouble you caused. You guys figure it out yourselves. I, Wang Jieshan, no longer fight against shorthair now. But I don't want to carry this black pot for shorthair for no reason.
After a while. Wen Deji came over with a smile. After asking the reason, he laughed. only said one sentence to the audience:
"This is Daming Hongwu Tongbao. The style set by Emperor Hongwu Zhu in those years. However, with the change of Jingjing, he was just exiled overseas. It's not your fault that you're unheard. You have to jump out and offer ugliness. Don't be a joke. ”
As soon as this statement came out. Up and down. Not only Wu Xiucai and others were dumbfounded. Even Wang Pu's face changed.
Everyone knew that this batch of silver coins must have been minted privately by shorthair. But they just put the mark of Emperor Hongwu on it. Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? That's a strongman who can even use paper for money! If you bite these short hairs, you can be sure that the money is left by Hong Wuye. No one really dared to refute that it was impossible—even if it was to bring the officials of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households, who were in charge of the minting business in the Ming Dynasty, to come over. Because Wen Desi also mentioned four words in his words: "the change of Jingnan".
The heir established by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. In the blink of an eye, he was overthrown by his son himself. Uplink and down. How much respect did Ming Dynasty officials have for the so-called "ancestral law". You can imagine it. And more importantly, the legendary Emperor Jianwen who was overthrown. It is the exile overseas. Ming Chengzu later sent his cronies and eunuchs to the West several times. Isn't it just to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen?
These short hairs are also from overseas. If they can really have something to do with the Jianwen Emperor back then. The headache of the Ming Dynasty is far more than just a problem of coinage......
A scholar like Wang Pu has a complex thinking. Wen Desi's words immediately inspired him to make countless associations. even thought that the arrogant little girl who bumped into him not long ago seemed to be surnamed Zhu? Xie Pang and several other leaders respected him. Could it be ......?
Think about it. In the end, Wang Jieshan could only sigh empty - anyway, his current situation. It must be regarded as a rebel and a thief to the officials of the capital. This is a matter of the Ming court. It wasn't his turn to worry about it.
Outcome. Wu Xiucai and others in the hall sued to no avail. Dejected, he left. And the lord Wang in the hall has been preoccupied since this day. And since then, I have always had great respect for that Miss Zhu Yueyue. No one can guess why.
As for the other problem encountered by the new silver dollar. is just the opposite of the above - those sour Ding Confucians regard Zhu Yuanzhang's head as sacred. And the larger crowd is completely ignoring it.
Although at the time of paying officials. A certain percentage of change coins were also given. But in real circulation. The number of coins is simply not enough. So many pragmatists still follow the old habits. Without hesitation, he used the large scissors specially used to cut silver...... Professor Li originally hoped that the avatar could provide some protection. Now it seems to be pure fantasy.
Just a few days after the release of the silver coin. There are a variety of non-standard coins on the market: there are semi-circular ones. There are also quarter-round ones. They were all dismembered from a silver dollar. Wen Desi and the others have even seen the wreckage of a circle that has been divided into one-tenth equal parts. The scores are extremely even. It is used as a dime in the market. It's also quite popular.
This is still a relatively "normal" usage. Some of the crooked people went one step further – soon the currency issuer was reported by several merchants that they were receiving silver dollars that were lighter than the standard size.
Wen Deji was surprised at first. These coins are all pressed out of the same machine. There can be no big or small difference. As a result, I collected a batch and looked at it. only to find that these silver coins were actually cut off the outside. It's one size smaller than the original.
The efficiency of the chengguan team is quite high. It didn't take a few days to solve the case: there was indeed such a gang. They specialize in collecting silver coins. Scrape a small circle with a file before taking it out and using it. At the same time, the scraped silver dust is recast. Make a profit!
Each silver coin was scraped off about a tenth of it. But it can be used in the market. Because the common people have begun to recognize the value of coins. As long as they can spend the money at the same face value. They don't mind how much the money actually weighs.
As a matter of course, the criminals were all sent to re-education through labor. But the likes of Wen Desi and Lin Feng admired their sharpness of mind—they were able to realize the concept that the face value of a currency had nothing to do with its actual value. You're a smart man! If the common people of the Ming Dynasty had such a flexible mind. Their plans to issue banknotes could have been greatly advanced.
Of course. The chaotic situation at hand cannot be sustained. In order to stabilize the financial market. Ensure the proper functioning of the silver dollar monetary system. After deliberation by the committee. Several countermeasures have been put in place:
The first is to greatly increase the supply of coins. Doubling the proportion of coins supplied according to modern standards. Although doing so the profit will be reduced somewhat. But they can also make up for the loss by reducing the fineness of the silver dollar.
Second, the silver dollar style was improved. Notify Lingao's side. Thicken the edges of the newly minted silver dollar. Form an outer ring. This makes it easy to identify later whether the coins have been scratched or not. In the future, silver coins will only need to have the outer ring broken. It will be calculated in the residual currency.
The third is to notify the major cooperative firms. And a notice was widely posted in the city: all defective silver dollars are not entitled to free fire. It can only be disposed of as shredded silver. The price is based on its own weight.
Corresponding to the above policy. It is to reopen the financial institution that failed in Lingao Shi Yàn last time, Qionghai Bank. Only for the time being, banknotes will not be issued. It is only used to exchange huàn money.
In the bank, ordinary people could exchange scraps of silver for huàn to silver dollars of various denominations. It is also possible to exchange silver dollars for huàn into silver taels. However, the former has to pay an additional fire cost. The latter is an equal amount to huàn – that is. In the future, if someone breaks the silver dollar and uses it. He will automatically lose the corresponding fire consumption value.
Pass guò above several measures. Finally, the wind of destroying silver coins was forcibly suppressed. The people began to get used to trading only in full coins. Occasionally, there is a place where change is required. And only copper coins and silver were used. Instead of breaking the silver coins directly.
However, an unexpected change brought about by this is that the average consumption level of the cross-public has increased significantly compared to the original. The short-haired crowd has now become one of the most popular consumer groups among businesses and service providers in Qiongzhou. For when they go out to spend, they always pay their bills with silver dollars. And in many cases. Change is not required.
- Think about it. Like Julie or Wang Jiaojiao, a lady with a noble temperament. When you go out, you will inevitably take a taxi and sit in a sedan chair. and the porter shall be paid six cents of silver at the price. Fold into one angle two. They're not going to make a penny. At least a dime will be tossed. And then you are embarrassed to take back a few copper coins from the porter's hand to find your head?
The result must have been: "No need to look for it." "—if there is a man by the side to pay the bill on his behalf. That's definitely going to give more. A pentagon or even a circle can be thrown out. Of course, I won't ask for change. A man's face is more valuable than these little money!
So until now. A place frequented by shorthair. What barracks. Hospital. The government and several other places. A large number of private workers gather there every day. Always ready to provide them with the most attentive service. Of course, the rewards are also generous enough.
Pang Yu goes out every time. There will be a group of people around and making noise: "Do you want to sit in a sedan chair?" "Do you want to buy fruit?" "Do you want pirated CDs?"
…… Of course. This last sentence. It could only be his fantasy when he dreamed back at midnight.
