Chapter 21 Developing Business and Launching New Currencies
Three days later.
According to Han Lin's request.
The new version of the banknote has been designed and promoted.
The job is not too difficult.
After all, in every country, silver tickets are used.
It's just that the denomination is huge, and it is used for trade between merchants, and ordinary people generally use copper coins, or simply barter.
However, the weight of the copper coin is there, and there are naturally many inconveniences in the transaction.
Right now
Han Lin wants to be the first person to eat crabs.
starting a bank,
Launch of banknotes.
This banknote is actually based on the silver note, with a slight change.
Moreover, in the early stage, Han Lin only planned to implement it in Linzi City, and after everything was running normally, it would be extended to the entire Qi country.
Time
The whole people have made waves because of this incident.
"Old Han, have you heard that Your Majesty is going to launch banknotes."
"What is a banknote?"
"It's something like a silver ticket, we don't have to bring so many copper coins when we go out in the future."
......
"Banks?"
"What is a bank? You still need to go to the bank to exchange banknotes. ”
"What are you talking about, actually asking us to exchange copper coins for paper money?"
"What kind of banknote, isn't this just a piece of paper? Isn't it a robbery to let us exchange copper coins and silver coins? ”
......
"Humph! Your Majesty said that in the future, the two sides must issue new banknotes, and you dare to refuse to accept them? I think you want to go to prison for a few days, right? ”
"This official master, I really don't know about this matter, I will definitely change it in the future."
"Later? I'll go to the bank now, and if it's still like this when I come back in the afternoon, don't blame me for being rude. ”
.......
The people were curious from the very beginning.
Resistance to the middle.
In the end, under the pressure of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they had to bite the bullet and use paper money.
Time
The entire Linzi City can be described as full of complaints.
In their eyes,
Food is the most valuable and the foundation of their lives.
Besides
It's money and other things outside the body.
But money, it has to be precious things such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., and no matter how bad it is, it is also copper coins.
But now,
His Majesty issued an order, and even directly announced the cancellation of the copper coin and changed the currency to a piece of paper.
Hundreds of people are naturally unwilling.
After all, precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper can be directly used as currency not only in Qi country, but also in other countries.
But your banknotes,
However, if you can't buy items with just a piece of paper, it's not as good as toilet paper.
And that's not all.
His Majesty even built a lot of strange things in the city, and issued various orders.
For example, littering is not allowed, and garbage must be thrown in a designated place.
When you buy an item at a store, you need to issue an invoice.
Import and export goods, there is also additional customs duty.
His Majesty not only discouraged the cultivation of the fields, but even encouraged business.
Such a move, in the eyes of the world, is already the way to destroy the country.
The people live on food.
If the people of the world do not produce, but go to business.
If there is no one to cultivate the fields, won't the Qi Kingdom starve to death in the future.
Just after the implementation of the various implementations and the official promotion began to be implemented,
Palace
Father-in-law Wei ran to the door of Han Lin's dormitory in a panic.
"Your Majesty, the hundred officials led by Lin Ge Lao are all kneeling in front of the palace gate, begging you to take back the order."
"They said that if your majesty did not take back your order, they would kneel and die at the gate of the palace."
"Death on your knees?"
Han Lin sneered: "Play this with me." ”
"Tell them that if they want to die, stay away from the palace and die, bad luck!"
Play this with me?
See who's spending whom.
After that, he didn't pay attention to the outside affairs, and turned his head to look at Liu Shishi, whose hands were tied by white silk, like a lamb to be slaughtered, and showed a wicked smile.
"Since you refuse to confess, then don't blame me for being rude, you're welcome~"
......
"Grandpa Wei, did Your Majesty really say that?"
Outside the Royal Palace,
Many officials, led by Lin Ge Lao, looked at Gonggong Wei in disbelief.
They never thought of it,
Your Majesty not only did not see them, but he was able to say such heartless words.
"Alas~"
Gonggong Wei shook his head: "I have already conveyed the words to Your Majesty, don't kneel here, Your Majesty will not see you." ”
"Impossible!"
Lin Ge's old voice said sadly: "Merchants are profitable, this is the consensus of everyone since ancient times. ”
"Shinong industry and commerce are even more regulations handed down from our ancestors, how can Your Majesty support merchants."
"Indulge in beauty and ignore the government, how can Your Majesty do such a thing that violates the law of the ancestors and encourages the people to do business, this is the way to destroy the country."
"If Your Majesty doesn't take back your order, we will kneel and die here!"
After he finished speaking,
There are many officials behind him.
"If the wealth of the world is gathered in the hands of merchants, the people will not be hungry, and then the Great Qi will be in danger of destroying the country."
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
"Your Majesty thinks twice."
Some of the officials present kept slamming to the ground, knocking their heads until their heads were bleeding, and they were still shouting in their mouths.
Not long ago,
Because of corruption, Han Lin has killed many corrupt officials.
What is left behind is either a clean official with two sleeves and a high wind and bright festival.
Either the amount of embezzlement is not large, and the crime is not death, and Han Lin did not pursue it.
But these people,
There is one problem with all of them, and that is pedantic.
Among them, Lin Ge Lao is the worst.
He has been an official for decades, conscientious and conscientious, and has never done anything against his will.
Like Ye Jinglong, they all hope that the Qi Kingdom can become more prosperous.
But
The older the person, the more the person who delves into Confucianism.
There is a common problem.
That's pedantic, not knowing how to be flexible.
It is believed that the law of the ancestors is immutable.
In their eyes, Han Lin was now more than just disobeying the law of his ancestors.
Encouraging commerce alone is already the way to ruin the country.
Shinong Industry and Commerce.
It is the consensus of all countries in the world.
The people live on food, and no country is encouraging the people to cultivate the fields and reclaim the wasteland.
But now,
This new monarch of Qi actually encouraged the people to engage in business?
And in this regard, all sorts of messy regulations have been developed.
Addicted to women, ignoring the government and politics, canceling the early dynasty, they will endure it and pass.
But now they can't take it anymore.
They all came to see Han Lin.
After being rejected,
They all knelt at the gate of the palace, praying that Han Lin could take back his life.
But slowly, over time.
The patience of many ministers has been exhausted.
Some people shouted the word "faint king" in a hurry!
"The king of a country ignores the government and politics, but indulges in wine every day, and spends all his mind on the way of management, do you want the Qi country to perish?"
"Faint King! As the emperor of Qi State, you disregard your face to run filthy places such as green houses, wine shops, and gambling houses, and when you die, will you still have the face to face the first emperor of Qi State? ”
"Businessmen pursue profits, you don't suppress but support, do you want the people of Qi to starve to death?"
"Faint king, faint king! The country of Qi has a mediocre lord like you, isn't it heaven going to destroy my country of Qi? ”
