In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

After many days of continuous snowfall, the sky finally ushered in a clear sky.

Wangjiatun, a small village in Jiujiang.

At its peak, there were more than 100 households in Wangjiatun, hundreds of people, and now only half of them are left, and this is still when Chu Feng took over Jiujiang.

"Child, there is news in the village, I heard that the Duke of Chu is about to move to Hefei in the north, and now he is recruiting laborers everywhere to build canals, take care of food and housing,

More than 100 copper coins a day, I'm idle and ready to work for more than a month. Da Zhuang returned from outside in high spirits and shouted in the courtyard.

The house is not large, a hall house, flanked by rooms, a kitchen in the corner, and a small vegetable garden in the yard, although dilapidated but well kept.

Inside the house, at the stove.

The woman replied with concern: "This winter, either don't go, don't get caught by the cold, and after a while, it will be time for spring ploughing." ”

"Hey, the government issues warm cotton clothes, as long as you go to dry them, you can bring them back after a month. And I forget it, I won't delay spring ploughing. ”

"And the Duke of Chu thinks about us people everywhere, and if he changes to other princes, not to mention giving money and clothes, all of them are forcibly conscripted, and many of them are directly exhausted.

I can listen to my cousin of Runan say that the price of grain over there is tens of thousands, and all kinds of things can't be bought at all, and our Jiujiang today is all due to the Duke of Chu. ”

"And you and Xiaobao haven't changed their clothes for many years, I'm going to work for more than a month to dress you and Xiaobao and them for a good year."

Da Zhuang grinned, his skin dark, and he came in consciously adding fire to the stove, and the two children under his knees also threw themselves into his arms, he explained.

In his opinion, life is getting better and better now.

"And when are you going to go? I'll get you some clothes. The woman asked, though she was reluctant.

"I'll go tomorrow, it's not any tiring work, it's just to dig the soil and open the channel, there is no danger." Da Zhuang said with a smile as he stroked the heads of the two children,

It's impossible to say not to be tired,

But as a parent, he should shelter his children from the wind and rain,

"Okay, I'll go find you something to bring, you ask Lijun, if anyone in the village has gone, you and them together, and you can take care of each other,"

The woman said with concern.

"Well, good!"

And the villagers on both sides of the fertilizer and water supply are saying goodbye to countless people, and the conditions given by Chu Feng are very good, which they can't even think of in previous years.

That is, now that the treasury is full, dare to burn money like this.

In addition to the open waterway, there are also the construction of docks, the repair of official roads, the construction of houses, and a wide range of conscription, although the winter is cold and freezing, but Yangzhou has not stopped.

Everything is in full swing.

Two more days passed,

At this moment, all the county towns in Yangzhou have summoned all the village officials under their jurisdiction, and all of them are some famous local elders.

In the west of Quyang, countless miles are gathering.

"Hey, this cold winter is counting nine days, do you know why the above called us here?" An old man looked at Li Zheng in the neighboring village and asked.

"I don't know, but as far as I know, this is not our county, but the transfer of the entire Duke of Chu, and there is obviously something important to announce."

Another old man stroked his beard and said.

A group of people are also speculating in conversation.

At this moment, the county order and the county man came in stride, and they still held a list in their hands.

glanced at everyone: "Everyone, this deep winter season called everyone, I want to come and others are also curious about what it is for, so I won't hide it from you here,"

"And today, when Dong Zhuoqi distributed a small amount of money, prices rose sharply, and the money in the hands of the people couldn't buy much at all, plus the war disasters for many years, the prices were especially worse."

"If it weren't for the wisdom and martial arts of the lord who has repeatedly funded the people to stabilize prices, I am afraid that Yangzhou will return to the era of barter, like other states and counties."

"And the princes in many places have all sent people to impact the prices of Yangzhou, and the pressure on coins is very great, so the lord has decided to release new coins in order to let the people in the territory live a stable and prosperous life!"

The prefectural order was full of anger and said to the Nakamura official.

"New Dollars?" Everyone was at a loss and talked about what this was.

"Quiet, the main thing about the new coins is to make it impossible for other princes to print our coins, to disrupt our market, and this money is approved by the government and all the merchants in the territory,"

"It is important for all people to complete the exchange of new coins with their household registration, and the exchange ratio is two copper coins for one copper coin, as well as silver coins, gold coins, etc."

"But what questions do you have?"

The county commander pressed his palm and forcibly explained.

"This..."

The crowd turned their heads to each other,

Two for one, this is a little worried, and for a while, the discussion continued, and the worry on his face was obvious.

"Hmph, everyone, the Duke of Chu is for the country and the people, I see this old bone in my eyes, if it weren't for the relief of the Duke of Chu, we would all starve to death in last year's famine."

"Now, don't say that Duke Chu changed the currency for us, even if we let us hand over the money to him unconditionally, I will be the first to agree."

An old man was about sixty or seventy, looking in good spirits, and his voice was still loud.

"Well said, you need to remember that if the lord wants to collect money from you, he can just print money to buy things in your hands like other princes, so why bother?"

"The reason why he did this was to ensure the rights and interests of all people. For this reason, the government also issued an approval, and now the price of rice and other grains is about 2,000 yuan,"

"The purchase of Singapore dollars is in thousands of dollars, and all grain merchants, salt shops, cloth houses, etc., in the territory, are the same, and the interests of you and others will be fully guaranteed."

"In addition, this matter is not a discussion, it is a mandatory and unconditional execution, if you have any questions, go directly to Shouchun and tell the lord, as for you to go back to the household registration unit, the full amount will be exchanged."

"The exchange time is three days later, and you must do a good job for me in the village in three days, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the outdated old currency will no longer be exchanged, understand!"

After the prefectural order was explained, the tone gradually increased, emphasizing that this was a mandatory order, because such a policy would only mess up if left unchecked.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Remember, the lord is for the good of the people, if you have opinions, let them take them back, and if you can't take them back, think for yourself!"

"If you don't understand, you will be expelled directly from the place of household registration. In addition, as village officials, you are the most trustworthy people among the people, so you must bear the brunt of the exchange for new currency. ”

"It is expected that the spring will be opened, and the old currency will be completely eliminated!"

The county order emphasized again, and the requirements given to him by the main one were also very strict.

"We understand!" Everyone nodded.

"Okay, let's go back, after going back, in addition to pushing out the new coin, you also need to actively prepare for the spring ploughing in the spring of the next year." The county magistrate spoke again.

After speaking, all the village officials left one after another.

After leaving the county office, some people were worried: "Do you think this will harm us?" ”

"Hmph, I definitely don't believe it if I were someone else, but if a person like Chu Gong who serves the country and the people still doubts, where is our conscience, in short, I trust Chu Gong unconditionally!"

"I'm the same, Duke Chu will never harm us."

"The old man is old, but Duke Chu acts above board, if we still question it, wouldn't we be ashamed?" An old man pestles and drinks with a cane.

This even a few people said, which also made the cheeks of the village official who raised this question red, and his feelings fell off the chain by himself, which was somewhat embarrassing.

————

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

The news of the change of coins swept through all the places under Chu Feng's rule like the wind, and each Li Zheng passed on the news and held a mobilization meeting.

For the change of currency, the people have mixed reviews.

However, the vast majority of them still believed in Chu Feng unconditionally, just because Chu Feng unconditionally raised them for nearly a year during the previous famine.

With this kind of courage, who can do it except Chu Feng?

What's more, the five-baht coin in their hands is too poisonous to them, and they will not support the new dollar so much if they have the slightest trust in the five-baht coin.

So much so that early in the morning, the large and small county towns were empty of thousands of people, countless people arrived at the place to change the currency, and all the villages and towns from all over the country rushed to the city.

All of them are cautious, because if they are robbed at this time, they will lose a lot.

The bandits under Chu Feng's rule were wiped out, and the only ones did not dare to make waves at such a time, otherwise they would inevitably be suppressed.

And the point of changing coins everywhere,

As the officials arrived, seeing the dense queue, the officials also gasped, he didn't expect that there would be so many people on the first day.

Good guys, aren't they afraid of Chu Feng deceiving people?

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of the lord, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust, it is useless to say more, but please believe that the new currency will make your life better!"

The official said loudly,

At least he was convinced of that.

He was only born in a humble family, and he extremely agreed with Chu Feng's artificial behavior, others were bullying the weak, but Chu Feng was helping the weak, which was rare and valuable.

"Okay, then you prepare the copper coins and household registration, and queue up to exchange them in an orderly manner. Officials and others are responsible for public security patrols to ensure the safety of people's money and property. ”

The official confessed again.

Immediately after, the exchange was in full swing,

And the first batch of exchange is only for ordinary families, and all clans are not exchanged.

When these people got the latest coins again, they couldn't help but look at them excitedly.

This copper coin is thick, with edges at the corners, and the upper figure is the Great Wall on the front, and the peasants on the back, lifelike, and is engraved with the four characters of Guotai and Min'an.

The four characters are very weighty, and the two pictures are perfect proof, the Great Wall represents Cathay and is a symbol of the Han Dynasty.

This coin security system is unlikely to be engraved for at least two hundred years.

In other words, Chu Feng can completely control the number of issues issued by this thing, and directly pinched the lifeblood of both the people and the family under his rule.

"Guotai Min'an, good, good Guotai Min'an!" An old man weighed the copper coin in his hand, full of relief, everything Chu Feng did was for their sake.

And this exchange is still going on like crazy,

This is all out of trust in Chu Feng.

Because of the crazy actions of the people, it also made the people who originally wanted to wait and see choose to exchange, and the herd mentality told them that these people had exchanged, and it was okay for them to exchange.

As a result, the counties around the county are very lively.

————

The next day, Shouchun.

Chu Feng didn't sleep well all night yesterday, and he was worried about the promotion of the new currency, because this matter was too hasty, and he didn't know if he could succeed.

If it is not successful, it will inevitably make the already chaotic coins even more chaotic.

So, as soon as the genius was brightened, Chu Feng got up, and he was about to go to Jia Xu to ask about the situation, because he hadn't thought about how to deal with it if he couldn't push it.

It is estimated that the credibility of the government will be ruined at that time.

As soon as he left the house, he saw Lu Su coming quickly, and said hurriedly: "Lord, it's gone, it's gone." ”

"Gone?" Chu Feng's expression tightened.

"Lord, there is news from the nearby county, yesterday there were thousands of empty alleys, all of them were exchanged for our new currency, and the coins of various counties were exchanged cleanly,"

Lu Su said excitedly.

He thought that the new coin could be launched, but he didn't expect it to be so popular, it seems that the people not only trust Chu Feng, but also don't believe in the five baht money in their hands.

Because the value of the five-baht coin depreciated too quickly.

After a year of hard work, it is gone, and for them, coins are far less direct than food, so replacing coins is what the people want to see more.

The premise is that someone like Chu Feng will take the lead.

"Ten thousand empty alleys? Redeemed yet? Chu Feng was stunned, a little confused, he gave a lot of coins in the first batch of nearby counties, at least thirty percent.

I thought it would take a few days to digest, and even he expected it to take a month to replace a large area, but now it seems that the degree of welcome is far beyond his own understanding.

Is this the accumulation of hard work?

A precursor to the end of the five-baht coin?

It's like this under your own rule, but what about everyone else's rule? Doesn't that mean that you will have more room to maneuver?

"Good thing, good thing!"

"I never expected the people to be so enthusiastic, I thought it would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth." Chu Feng said,

"All the coins are hoarded in the major cities, and they will be sent nearby, and since the people are so recognized, we can't say anything to be left behind."

"My lord, here in the family..."Lu Su said cautiously.

Although none of the family members spoke, they all looked at Chu Feng, obviously, they also wanted to eat this wave of blessings, but how to eat it depended on Chu Feng.

"The family is not in a hurry, after the replacement of the people, the initiative is in my hands, they want to replace their family wealth, it depends on whether I agree or not."

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth hooked.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to replace all the family's money, he could replace it if he wanted to, and he would be able to prove the relevant certificates, and the money that could be proved could be replaced, and those that could not be proved would be forbidden.

By the way, they can go to the locations of other princes to purchase materials, and this batch of materials can be transported back to Yangzhou as soon as they come, and the price of getting this batch of materials is some copper coins.

Second, to make the rule of the princes more inflationary and lack of materials, so that more and more people will flow to their side.

"In this way, go and summon Mi Zhu to me immediately, I have something important to explain!"
