Section 480 The Crazy Twelve Guards, the Crazy Chang'an City
Li Yuanxing did not stipulate the length, thickness, and wood of the bat. It only stipulates the requirements for the ball used in the game, and when the ball is really played, the ball must be a ball made by Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Yuanxing used the money of the King of Qin to pay his military salary.
The sergeants who received the coin had some surprises, and this coin was a copper coin, a bronze coin mixed with tin.
It's beautiful, but no one has ever seen it.
"This is King Qin's money, and it is more than miscellaneous money to buy things." An officer seemed to have heard some news, and quickly spread the news: "King Qin's money, the silver coin can be exchanged for 1,300 wen for one tael, and more on the black market." Whoever gets the silver coins had better put them away. ”
In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers were not paid, but they were exempted from taxes at home.
Moreover, the soldiers had to bring their own weapons, and of course they took the extra income from the booty.
This is also one of the main reasons why Li Daozong borrowed troops when he was in Liangzhou, but he was extorting rich people, because he needed to give the soldiers spoils, and now think about it, he didn't let the soldiers rob the people, which is already a good job.
In the early Tang Dynasty, only Qianniu guards and prison guards had military salaries, but the number was not high.
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was not calculated with money, but with grain. A soldier is about fifteen stone of grain a year, which is the current 1,800 catties of grain, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was always a few hundred dollars when it was exchanged for silver.
As for the forbidden army, it is a few times a year, of course, this is after food and shelter, so this is what they put in their hands, and it can be regarded as saving.
Li Yuanxing does not pay salaries, but pays them monthly.
These standing soldiers. Li Yuanxing's level has not yet been implemented, and the unification is that each person has twenty copper coins of five coins, and then there are fifty copper coins of one coin.
That's one hundred and fifty texts.
Don't underestimate this one hundred and fifty wen, you can buy about 200 catties of fine grain in a bumper harvest year.
When it comes to the nine-grade petty official, even if it is the lowest, there is a qualitative difference in income from the nine-pin. The first is Lu rice, which has thirty stone per year. Then there is Yongye Field, the standard of Jiupin is two acres and fifty acres, of course, this is his family to farm, not necessarily paddy fields. But in terms of quantity, it will definitely not be less.
(One hectare is one hundred acres)
According to the primitive agriculture of the Tang Dynasty. The annual income of the Yongye Tian of this nine-grade small civil official is about 300 stones.
Then, the income of the Tang Dynasty also had food, which was also useful. And the servants.
But. If you change it to a county magistrate in a particularly poor place. It's really going to starve to death. For example, in Li Yuanxing's four counties, the county officials are all seven-grade officials, although each person has 400 acres of land. But there is no water, no one grows, and the output of these 400 acres of land is less than ten stones of grain, which is not even as good as the yield of one mu of Li Yuanxing and Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Yuanxing is giving money, he just wants to change the complicated salary system of Datang.
After sending the money back to Qinwangzhuang, the next day, Li Yuanxing was preparing to hold a meeting with Li Jing and others to discuss the reform of the military system, and the thick report was piled up on his desk.
"Goro, the price of wood in Chang'an City has skyrocketed, and it has doubled!"
Datang must have a approval for cutting trees, but it is not a casual tree that can be pulled to Chang'an to sell. The whole world is royal, and so are the trees in the mountains, so you must not cut them down casually.
"Your Highness, because the Twelve Guards are crazy about buying wood, the price of wood has skyrocketed. His Majesty knew that the left guard already had 30,000 bats, and it was a weight-bearing run of ten miles in the early morning, and then he swung the bats three hundred times in formation. ”
Cui Dunli reported beside him, but there was a smile on his face.
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "They should have some blood, does Chang'an City have the reaction of Qin Wang Qian?" ”
"Your Highness, not yet. Because this is the money paid by the twelve guards, the money in the hands of the sergeant has not yet flowed out. Tomorrow is the tenth day, and the ministers will send people to pay attention to see the reaction of the people in Chang'an City after receiving the money from the King of Qin, and it is estimated that a detailed report will be sent tomorrow night! ”
Cui Dunli replied very orthodoxically.
Li Jing said at this time: "The military system is not something that can be set in a few days, so it's better to take a look at Chang'an City tomorrow!" ”
"Take some money and go around the two cities?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically, and also agreed with Li Jing's suggestion.
"Wulang still don't go, there are no people in Chang'an City who don't recognize King Qin!" Li Jing told the truth, and Li Yuanxing was so depressed that he didn't know what to say. I only watched Li Jing take a bag of money and go out.
After Li Jing and the other generals left, Yuan Chuncai asked in a low voice: "Your Highness is close to the people, and the people of Chang'an City naturally recognize Your Highness!" ”
"Nonsense, as soon as the king went out, there were at least one or two hundred people in the bodyguards. As soon as this king arrived in Chang'an, Jing Zhaoyin was so nervous that he might not even be able to sit steadily, I don't know how many people followed around, really when the people were stupid, really when this king was stupid, those who didn't recognize this king were either arranged in advance or pretended! ”
Yuan Chun naturally knew this, but she didn't dare to say it.
Li Yuanxing also didn't plan to make a real private visit, which would cause great trouble to the guards of the Qin Palace.
At the very least, these people will be upset if they find themselves out of their sight.
What Li Yuanxing didn't know was that at this time, there were already people in Chang'an City who were using his Qin King money to consume, even if it was not the earliest to use, but the real copper sheets, as money, still caught the people of Chang'an a little off guard!
Above the court, it is natural to know the money of King Qin.
But the people don't know that when the information exploded in the Tang Dynasty, even if there was a newspaper, the speed of information circulation was not fast, not to mention that Li Yuanxing's Qin Wang Qian did not appear in the newspaper.
The first one to get the money from King Qin, and to use it, was a grocer.
He sent 8,000 spools to Qin Wangzhuang, which were worthless, and only exchanged them for three times and 500 yuan.
Zheng He gave him thirty small silver coins of one penny, and the first batch of small silver coins of one coin were all printed with Qin Qiong's head, which was the meaning of Li Er and Li Yuanxing. After all, Qin Qiong had saved Li Er several times, and it was Qin Qiong who came into contact with Li Yuanxing when he first arrived in Datang.
Therefore, the first batch of small silver coins of one coin chose to use Qin Qiong's avatar.
Then he gave ninety copper coins of five coins for agricultural coins, and ten of one yuan of military coins.
The credibility of the Qin Wangfu was not said, the grocer didn't ask for half a sentence, took the money bag and left, he didn't even count it, he just glanced at it casually at the time, and he didn't care too much.
Just know, here are some small silver cakes, some copper coins.
When I got home and was ready to enter the account, I realized that the coins were very different. Fine like jewelry, not like money.
His eldest son was a scholar, and he was going to buy some paper and pencils at noon that day, and he grabbed a few silver coins and a few copper coins. And said: "This is the money given by the Qin Palace, the first time I see you, you should be able to buy paper and pencils." ”
"Great! The money of the Qin Wangfu should not be able to be bought, but it can definitely be bought! ”
In terms of time, when Li Yuanxing was in the barracks, before the soldiers were paid, the first Qin Wang coin had entered the market in Chang'an and began to circulate.
"Little brother, this money ......" After the shopkeeper of the bookstore got the money, he looked a little stunned.
"The money of the Qin Palace!"
"No, no!" The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's not that this money can't be said, it's just that the first time I saw it, it was a novelty." I don't know what the shopkeeper thought at first, but at least after he spoke, his attitude was very approving of the money. The shopkeeper said to the man: "Give this little brother another piece of paper, this silver coin has a number behind it, it is a penny of silver, and it is one hundred and twenty coins on top!" ”
A scholar is a scholar, and even if he is not a nerd, he is very old-fashioned.
If you change to an idler on the street, I'm afraid you will take advantage of it, take something and leave.
"My father delivered goods for Qin Wangzhuang, and the steward of Qin Wangzhuang called this a silver coin, and when one hundred dollars were folded to my father, I can't buy you one hundred and twenty yuan of paper!"
"Does the little brother still have copper coins?" The shopkeeper asked.
The scholar took out the money bag from his bosom and found a five-dollar and a one-dollar one.
The shopkeeper smiled: "His Royal Highness King Qin is benevolent, and it is extremely fair for King Qin's mansion to do things." What the steward said was right, that is, a silver coin should be a hundred coins, but it should be the copper coin of the Qin Palace, not this miscellaneous money. As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out an old copper coin and placed it together.
It's not like I don't feel it, but this comparison will naturally be superior.
Let's not talk about whether this copper is good or not, but the degree of delicacy is immediately high.
"Good money, bad money. Naturally, it can be replaced, you should know the history of reading, the Han Dynasty will be, the copper money and the copper money will be a lot different, take this knife paper with peace of mind, talk about honesty for people, and be honest for business! ”
The scholar bowed to the end, took the paper he had bought, and left the store with a few new pens.
The shops in the West Market, especially these small shops, are naturally one after another, and the shopkeepers of several shops next to them have also come over, and it is the first time to see such exquisite money, so it is natural to see a lively scene.
"This money, hard goods!" A shopkeeper said.
Hard goods can be understood as value preservation, or the money is good money, or it can also be understood that this money must be used all over the world. You must know that some states and counties only recognize the exchange of goods, and then go out, small countries in different countries, I am afraid that if they see this money, they will also recognize it.
"This money is more than a penny!" And the shopkeeper said.
"His Royal Highness King Qin will definitely not post his salary, but we people don't understand. This silver seems to be eight cents of silver, and with this workmanship, it is not much when it is a penny. This copper seems to be seven points of bronze, and in terms of money, this is already high-quality money. If Qin Wangzhuang is willing to exchange inferior money for these high-quality money, my family is willing to save such coins! ”
A few shopkeepers were discussing, but they liked the coin.
Because it's exquisite, because it's exquisite.
"I don't know if there will be articles on this money in Chang'an Daily. Come to think of it, twelve coins for ten Qin King coins should be the market price of haode. ”
The flow of news in Chang'an is too slow.
Until Li Jing and the others arrived in Chang'an, the money had been flowing out for two days, and only half of the shops in the east and west cities knew that there was new money from King Qin. (To be continued......)
