Chapter 498 - Issuance of New Currency

Yang Zhao briefly chatted with them about the next strategy.

Considering that today is the day before the New Year, and it is not easy for them to work overtime, they will soon be allowed to go home and reunite with their families.

Yang Zhao is also reuniting with his family, and other things, don't think about it for the time being, and talk about it after the New Year, he didn't even have the idea of entering the palace to see Liu Bian, just accompanied his wife and children, and soon came to the evening.

Considering the problem of spreading branches and leaves in the family, Dong Bai is already pregnant with a child, so the fourth lady Elk Zhen also has to prepare, as the eldest lady, Zhen Jiang first arranged for Elk Zhen to sleep.

Back in the room.

Yang Zhao saw Zhen'er who replied shyly, she had been married for so many years, she was still easy to be shy, smiled slightly, and took the person into her arms, made love, and started tonight's plan to create a person.

Early the next morning.

After Yang Zhao got up, he officially entered the state of Mu Xiu, just playing with his relatives, such a time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was time to go to work again.

Yang Zhao entered the state of work, and the first thing to pay attention to was the work related to silver coins, the craftsmen of the mint were very fast, and they had already melted and minted the silver sent by the dogtail repair.

A large number of silver coins were piled up in the storehouse.

Yang Zhao ordered people to send all the silver coins to the money bank, and then asked someone to ask, the money houses in other states and counties were built one after another, but the results were similar to the money villages in the commercial area, and basically no one came.

The first batch of silver coins, Yang Zhao tried it out in the commercial area.

The money was sent to the money bank, and then it was widely advertised, spread throughout the entire business district, and more and more people knew that the money village was going to launch the silver coin, which was still implemented by the imperial court, which attracted many onlookers.

A silver coin worth a thousand dollars.

In addition to this, there are gold coins.

A gold coin is worth ten silver coins, each of which is one tael.

This conversion, as well as the added value of the currency, made them feel novel, and some people who often do business, simply calculated that if silver coins could be implemented, they would have a lot more ways to trade.

Especially when it comes to change.

Large amounts of goods, settled in gold, but if you pay, the gold you give also needs to be cut according to the weight, etc., if there is a lower value than gold, more flexible silver coins, it can be much more convenient.

Silver and gold coins don't need to be cut and are easy to use.

However, redefining the currency will still make some people feel uncomfortable, and the currency will show a slight sign of depreciation, which will require later economic adjustment.

Many people came to the outside of the bank, just to watch, and no one had the intention of trying to exchange silver coins.

"Lord, it still doesn't seem to work."

They sat outside the bank, on the second floor of a restaurant, looking at the bank.

Yang Zhao was naturally also at the scene, and when he looked down at this time, Qian Zhuang's popularity was there, but the onlookers didn't make any moves, just watched from the side.

"Silver coins, for they to be more attractive than a piece of paper, have to make them feel more valuable."

"They are indifferent, presumably unsure of the purchasing power of silver coins."

"It's time for us to take action."

"Let him do it!"

The entourage around him hurried down to deliver the news.

After waiting for a while, Tuo walked into the crowd of onlookers, saw the liveliness of the money village, and stepped forward directly: "I don't believe it, silver coins can still be used as money, I have ten taels of gold here, exchange them for silver coins for me." ”

His gold, not in the state of a gold coin, is just an ordinary piece of gold.

"Please come in and check in!"

When the person in charge of the money village saw it, he quickly ran out and invited people in.

The toot swaggered through the door, and in the midst of the waiting eyes of the crowd, it was not long before he came out again, holding a heavy silver coin in his hand, and the silver collided with a crisp sound.

"Do you want to know if you can buy anything with this silver?"

Tuo said loudly again.

"Of course, why don't you give it a try?"

Someone immediately chimed in.

People are often very interested in novelty.

They all wanted someone to verify that the silver coins could be used normally, and if they could, they would also exchange some of them, since it was a new currency issued by the imperial court, it should work.

For metal money, they instinctively feel that it is much more reliable than paper money.

After all, copper and gold are both metals and have a certain value, while paper money is just a worthless piece of paper, they will not be interested in paper money, but they are full of interest in metal.

If the silver coins can indeed be used, then they are not afraid to exchange some for use, which is convenient for various transactions.

"Then let's give it a try."

After saying this, he took the silver coins and walked to some shops.

Those people in the shops have also been instructed by Yang Zhao to collect silver coins, and then go to the money bank to exchange the silver coins for gold coins, or five baht coins, to achieve seamless exchange between currencies.

"This is the trust arranged by the lord?"

Zhen Yan laughed and said: "It seems that the performance is not natural and not professional enough!" ”

Very unprofessional indeed.

After all, it is still difficult to find a person who can act, and said with a smile: "As long as there is an effect, the current effect is not full?" ”

It is indeed full of effects.

So they continued to wait, and after waiting for about an hour, someone entered the bank, took the silver coins, and exchanged them for gold coins and ordinary five-baht coins, indicating that they could really be exchanged.

The onlookers or businessmen became excited when they saw that it could really be exchanged, and some people tried to exchange it for a try.

"The effect is really obvious."

Lu Zhu admired: "The lord's method is very good, the money village has a certain effect on the management of the imperial court currency, in exchange for the previous issue of silver coins, you may need to put away a part of the five baht coins, and then forcibly send the silver coins, now there is a lot less trouble, just need to publicize." ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "Other money banks, you also arrange, by the way, the silver mines within our jurisdiction, you go to survey a few, and then arrange mining, relying on the silver of Yamatai alone, I am worried that it will not be able to meet our subsequent consumption needs." ”

"Good!"

Lu Zhu and Zhen Yan said at the same time.

Yang Zhao asked again: "Here in the business district, there are no other problems, right?" ”

Zhen Yan said: "Everything is normal, with the business rules of the lord, we are constantly improving, and it is currently developing very well, and it can provide a large amount of taxes to the imperial court, and Wen You even said that they should not expand their business activities, because it is too cool to collect taxes!" ”

Hearing this, they all laughed.

Now the tax of the Han Dynasty is no longer grain.

After all, there is enough food now, there will be no shortage, and taxes are real money.

Only when you have money can you build infrastructure.

Only then can you mine and manufacture weapons, so as to facilitate the pacification of the world.

Yang Zhao felt that it was right, and thought for a long time and said: "The commercial area in Luoyang City is basically determined, and it is inconvenient to expand it again, you can go to Yecheng and other cities to make one." ”

They felt that this was feasible and reasonable, and since Yang Zhao had also agreed, they could go back and arrange it immediately.
