Liu He's method of temporarily replacing the currency in circulation with the issuance of various physical bills and coupons has solved the problem of insufficient reserves of money banks, and in fact, it is also testing the waters and exploring the way for the future issuance of paper money.

Although physical tickets are also printed on paper, they are very different from paper money, that is, they are universal. Legal banknotes can buy all kinds of goods, even the coupons themselves, while coupons can only buy a single good corresponding to them, and they cannot be exchanged and circulated as freely as paper money.

However, whether it is a coupon or a banknote, the basis for the acceptance of the people is the credit of the government. A government with good credit can exchange food and daily necessities from the common people even if it writes a few lines on a half-foot white cloth and affixes it with the official seal of the government or the army. On the other hand, a government that has lost its credibility, even if it makes all kinds of statements and numbers into flowers, desperately deceives and deceives the people, but ordinary people can see the true face of this government from the skyrocketing prices. The "fiat currency" before liberation is the best annotation.

Grain stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, salt stamps, coal stamps, ...... Bills of different colors and styles were printed in bulk by the mint, and then sent by the Department of Internal Affairs to the counties of Youzhou, and then distributed from the counties to the counties. During this time, both the Dahan Times and Feng Pao were constantly promoting the government's intention to print tickets and the convenience of using them.

In order to motivate the people to use the tickets, Liu He asked the staff of all armies and government offices at all levels to take the lead in using the tickets. In the past, the grain and grass provided by the localities to the army were transported to the army in kind by means of guò transfer, but now the Command Office directly distributes the coupons to the various armies, and then the logistics quartermaster officers of the various armies distribute some of the coupons to the officers and men, and the other part of the coupons are directly used in the markets around the garrison.

In the absence of any reduction in treatment and security conditions, the army welcomes the use of vouchers, because with them, officers and men can carry with them the food stamps, salt stamps, and meat stamps that have been distributed. There is no need to carry a bag of copper coins to "jingle the bell", and there is no need to worry about being quietly taken away by others when you are asleep.

The clerks of the government at all levels are not resistant to the practice of using coupons instead of issuing physical goods, and they know the actual economic situation in Youzhou best, and they do not have to worry about not being able to exchange coupons for physical goods, or there will be a storm of rush to buy.

Because the army and the government took the lead in using the coupons, and the number of coupons printed in the first batch was not very large, the response to this batch of coupons was very good after they were put into Youzhou, and some minor problems were quickly corrected and solved. Liu He saw that the issuance of coupons was progressing smoothly, so he gave an order to the Minting Department. The second batch of tickets was printed and prepared to be sent to Liaozhou and Jizhou. The economic foundation of Ningzhou and Bingzhou has been damaged, and it will take one to two years to recover, so Liu He does not plan to issue tickets to these two states for the time being, but to maintain the original method of physical transactions, so that the people of the two states can increase their trust in the government first.

In addition to issuing coupons, Liu He also began a plan to exchange gold and silver for the homes of wealthy families in various states.

Liu He's method is very simple, but it is also very effective, that is, to use some luxury goods, precious items and rare things to impress the hearts of the wealthy families. Let them willingly and scramble to take out the gold and silver buried in the ground to buy items that can only be sold in their own hands.

For example, the four-wheeled carriage produced in Jicheng not only has the function of shock absorption and free steering, but also because the number of horses pulling the carriage can be increased from one to four, or even six. Therefore, the carriage can be made spacious and comfortable, and some decorations with carved dragons and phoenixes can be added to make the carriage appear extraordinarily tall. In the era when there was no internal combustion engine, having such a carriage was a symbol of status and status. If you have to compare, an ordinary carriage is like a Chery small buckle, and an ordinary ox cart is like a BYD. The more luxurious two-wheeled carriage is like an entry-level joint venture car, and the four-wheeled carriage with suspension shock absorption function newly developed and manufactured by Jicheng is Rollslas, which is a limited edition top luxury car.

Before, because of the limited number of such four-wheeled carriages, they were only accompanied by officials at the county guard level and above, and even if the wealthy families were red, they could only watch and could not buy them at all. Now, Liu He finally agreed to let go of the four-wheeled carriage business, which could be sold to the people, but there was a premise, that is, it had to be bought with gold and silver, not copper money, let alone grain!

In this era, the public's understanding of gold is still in the superficial stage, and everyone just regards gold as a valuable item like pearls and gemstones. When they learned that ordinary people could buy four-wheeled carriages, they did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out the gold collected at home and ordered luxurious four-wheeled carriages from Jicheng Depot.

This mentality of wealthy businessmen is somewhat similar to that of the nouveau riche in later generations, who filled their study with all kinds of ancient and rare books, all of them wanted to find a sense of identity to improve their status. Think about it, it was originally a four-wheeled carriage that only officials were eligible to enjoy, but now we can buy it, and we can buy a few if we want to, as long as we are willing to spend money, we don't have a lot of money now, where is enough to buy one!

With a few wealthy businessmen taking the lead, the wealthy families are not far behind, and everyone is afraid that they will be looked down upon because they ride in a two-wheeled carriage when they go out to socialize in the future. As a result, the orders of the carriage factory in Jicheng suddenly skyrocketed, and the gold and silver of Huang Cancan and Bai Huahua flowed into the mint department in an uproar.

If Liu He only used the scarce commodity of the four-wheeled carriage to engage in hunger marketing, it would be too underestimated to underestimate his ability to travel through people.

There are two skilled doctors in Jicheng, and the doctors have brought out a group of apprentices with superb medical skills, because of their survival, coupled with Liu He's full support and some forward-looking guidance, Jicheng Medical College's medical methods have reached a new height. Hua Tuo and several of his apprentices have begun to use Ma Boiling San to perform open surgery on patients, especially in the treatment of appendicitis, and the success rate has been improving. Zhang Ji has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of typhoid fever and various incurable diseases, and the various home remedies he prescribes have the miraculous effect of medicine to eliminate diseases.

Nowadays, in Jicheng, in Youzhou, and even in the entire north, there are so many people who want to ask Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to diagnose their diseases, after all, everyone wants to live a few more years, and everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. But there are only two divine doctors, and there are only a few apprentices of divine doctors, so if anyone wants to get special medical treatment and health guidance, it depends on the arrangement of the general's mansion, not who is rich and powerful can see the divine doctor.

In order to let the wealthy families "happily" come up with real money, Liu He instructed the medical school to set up an expert outpatient department to accept medical appointments from the people, but the cost of letting experts and famous doctors go to the clinic is quite expensive, without real money, don't even think about it! Some people may accuse Liu He of discrimination and inequality, why can rich people get doctors with excellent medical skills to visit them, and those who have no money can only lie at home and wait for death?

This problem is basically unsolvable. The resources of famous doctors are so little, but there are thousands of patients in the world, regardless of the fact that there is money or not, in the eyes of doctors, people who are sick need treatment. Is it fair to have all the famous doctors treat the poor every day who have no money to pay for their consultations and medicines? What's wrong with the rich being willing to trade more wealth for better medical treatment if their wealth is justified and legitimate?

Liu He has never believed that there is absolute fairness in the world, and it is based on this realization that his efforts are to train more doctors, minimize the number of poor people, and establish a social treatment system, rather than creating an absolute equality and egalitarian utopia.

Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji are actually a little resistant to Liu He's practice of disliking the poor and loving the rich, especially Liu He regards the two of them as the two biggest cash cows of the medical school, which obviously makes the "divine doctor" and the "medical saint" feel that their human dignity has been insulted and challenged. However, Liu He told them that half of the gold and silver earned by the medical school for the rich and wealthy families was used to buy medicinal herbs for the poor people in extreme poverty, and the remaining forty percent was used to train barefoot doctors in the countryside. Liu He's explanation relieved the two old men who were good at keeping their hearts, so when they went to the clinic in the future, they confidently asked the wealthy families for a frighteningly high consultation fee.

Liu He even published an article in the newspaper for this matter, which meant to appease the ordinary people not to think that the two divine doctors were open to money and doubted their character, and at the same time to appease those rich families, telling them that these high consultation fees were not wronged, because because of their boldness and generosity, many poor people can get basic treatment, which is a good thing for everyone.

The wealthy families thought that Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji almost belonged to the "royal" medical officers of the Liu family and his son, and although the consultation money spent was a little painful, it was also a rare and cherished opportunity to invite him to his home to diagnose his family. What's more, the general also made it clear that he hoped that the rich would spend more gold and silver to subsidize the poor, so although the money was spent, it was worth it.

In addition to selling extravagant four-wheeled carriages to wealthy families and monopolizing high-level medical resources, Liu He also regarded magnifying glasses, reading glasses, fine horses, precious medicinal materials, animal skins, and all kinds of beautifully crafted works of art as a way to accumulate gold and silver.
