Tang He saw that it was Guo Dalu who was blocking him, so he hurriedly put away the sharp knife and had: "Mr. Houlong, it's not a small recklessness, I knew that this farm tool was made by Mr. Houlong, and I didn't dare to show my ugliness." It's just that I also figured it out, if my heirloom knife really loses, then ask Mr. Houlong to use this good steel for farming tools to build a real treasure knife for me, and I won't suffer a loss. ”

Everyone in the audience encouraged: "That's right, that's right, Bibi look, Bibi look!"

Guo Dalu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, but I only allow you to chop those farm tools with a sharp knife, and you must not chop them, so as not to be injured by mistake." ”

Tang He came to the momentum, hugged his fists at everyone in the audience, and regarded himself as a person who went to the rivers and lakes to perform his arts: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you are all optimistic, those who have money will have a money field, and those who have no money will have a personal field." Hey, hey!"

I saw Tang He roar, holding the sharp knife of Wuzi Jie's wrist, and without stopping in one breath, he chopped towards the front of the farm tools standing on the high platform, only to hear a sound of ding bells, and Tang He finally stopped. He picked up the family heirloom knife, looked down and only glanced at it, and his heart hurt so much that he almost vomited blood - the sharp blade of the Wuzi steel carefully made was full of large and small cuts, as small as rice grains, as big as nails, and the Tang family treasure knife that had been passed down for generations was completely ruined!

What made Tang He's heart even more bloody was that the stunned young man ran to the farm tools, took a closer look, and danced with his hands: "It's okay! It's okay! It's nothing! There's nothing at all! There is not a single crack! Haha, this farm tool is more powerful than Raushzi Uzi steel!"

The voices of the audience were boiling - Grandpa, there are farm tools in this world, made of stainless steel that is sharper than Uzi steel, this, this, this is too ridiculous, too unbelievable!

But soon there was news in the crowd that the steel farm tools were made of Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village, and the snow sugar, punctuation marks, alcohol and other strange things were all from his hands.

Guo Dalu patted Tang He's shoulder: "Tang He, you don't need to be sad, I asked Li Dayan to help you make a good knife, and it will be regarded as an apology." ”

Tang He's eyes lit up: "Two knives, a wrist-untying knife, and a waist knife - my waist knife is also broken, it is a court weapon, and if this knife is broken, I will be questioned by the county magistrate." ”

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Okay, according to you, according to you." "Just two knives are not a big deal, what is rare is the soup and this trouble, but the atmosphere of the scene is very warm, and the effect is much better than a stupid big broken wire.

At this time, the out-of-town guest had already jumped on the high platform: "I want all these farm tools!"

Heh, this is a clever one. These farm tools and Uzi knives are cut without any damage, as long as they are bought and the steel is re-smelted into weapons, then they will not become one of the best magic weapons in the world?

It's just that the villagers in Yinxian County are not stupid, and many people shouted at the moment: "This farm tool is made by Mr. Houlong of Yinxian County, where is your turn for an outsider to come and fight? Mr. Houlong, although you offer these treasures, our villagers have all covered!"

Guo Dalu hugged his fists: "Don't worry, everyone, from now on, the store under the name of my Houlong Village will produce a large number of high-quality farm tools every day, which are specially sold to farmers, especially farmers who have lost their land and opened up wasteland. ”

Suddenly, there was a coax, and people crowded into the store: "Shopkeeper Er, Shopkeeper Boy, I want a hoe--"

"I want a copy of all types of farm tools!"

"Hey, in addition to farm tools, there are axes, saws, planers and other household goods in this store, all of which are made of fine steel!

Li Bo, Brother Hao, Silly Big Man and others were busy receiving, and Li Bo pulled over an uncle who was a little shabby and carefully fiddled with a hoe, but he didn't dare to ask the price easily: "This uncle, do you want to buy farm tools to clear the wasteland?"

The uncle said in a foreign accent: "Yes, our family has just wandered to Yin County, and finally the official has set aside a piece of land by the sea for us to live in, but there is no suitable household property in the hands of the wasteland, and we are panicking." ”

Li Bo said with a smile: "This uncle, don't worry, our farm tools are the best for clearing the wasteland, a stainless steel farm tool can withstand several rough iron farm tools, and if the edge is blunt, you can send it to our shops everywhere, and we will repair it for free." ”

The uncle rubbed his hands: "This stainless steel farm tool is good, but I don't know what the price is? ”

Li Bo said: "Uncle, don't worry, our Houlong Village is also from a poor family, how can we not know the suffering of the poor? Our farm tools are not only not expensive, but even a few points cheaper than the common pig iron farm tools on the market." What's more, if you buy farm tools from us, you can take out a loan, and after next year's harvest, you can use the grain to offset the payment. ”

The uncle from other places was stunned: "Loan? Is this a loan shark? This usury is a man-eating tiger, with profits and profits, donkeys rolling, and we can't afford to sell our children and daughters, and we ordinary people don't dare to borrow it." ”

Li Bo said with a smile: "Uncle, you misunderstood, our Houlong Village doesn't rectify the dirty thing of usury, giving birth to a son without asshole, our loan only has the principal, no interest." ”

The uncle from other places was stunned, and he even plucked out his ears, suspecting that he had misheard: "Only the principal? No interest? This little brother, you, you are not coaxing me, right? How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Li Bo turned his head and pointed to a notice on the wall: "This uncle, how could I lie to you, then, this is the detailed rules of our small loan for farmers in Houlong Village, which is clearly written and clear, only the principal is repaid, and there is no interest." ”

"It's just that what we're lending you isn't copper coins or silver, but this special coin. ”

Li Bo took out a small shiny disc from the drawer and put it in the hands of the uncle from other places, only to see that the small disc was a chrysanthemum with a beautiful pattern on one side, but a vertical one like a flat shoulder on the other, and there were a few words on it, but it was "People's Bank of China", and there were a few ghost-like characters.

This coin is a one-yuan coin, but Guo Dalu asked the demon bull Dahei to use his skills to change it - he originally wanted to make it himself, but the coin was too rough with a mold, and he couldn't build a stamping machine for the time being, so he had to bribe Dahei with LED lights to make it eat steel, and a bunch of coins were changed.

It's just that Da Hei is stupid, and he only knows how to draw a gourd for a one-yuan coin according to Guo Dalu, so even the pinyin and "People's Bank of China" on it have changed exactly the same.

In addition to the one-yuan coin, Guo Dalu also found some one-dime and five-dime coins for Da Hei to eat, and also made it change a bunch of corresponding coins from his body, which can be regarded as the initial establishment of a monetary system completely different from the local currency of the Great Li Dynasty.

The reason why Guo Dalu wanted to build his own monetary system was entirely because of the variety of money received by stores in Houlong Village.

Houlong Village now produces more and more goods, such as snow sugar, alcohol, etc., which are in short supply, but then Li Bo complained, because he found that the money received from various places was varied, including copper coins and silver.

Copper coins are minted by officials and private individuals themselves -- it is not illegal to mint money privately in the Great Li Dynasty, as long as you can spend it and people are willing to accept it, some big nobles and big businessmen have minted money on their own. Don't you say, the copper coin of private casting is sometimes higher than the copper content of the official casting, there are several emperors in the Great Li Dynasty who are greedy for small profits, the copper content of the copper coin is too low, the color is white, it is called white money by the people, also called small money, three pieces are worth the founding ancestor Kaiyuan Tongbao.

This is the case with copper coins, not to mention silver, and the purity of all colors of silver circulating in the market is different, so that there is a special trade, which is to help people evaluate the fineness of silver, and only after folding the color can it be traded.

In addition to copper coins and silver, the shop also received a lot of hemp, arrowroot, silk, millet, wheat, etc., because many peasants still maintain the habit of bartering, and have no cash in their hands at all.

These things are really inconvenient to transport back to Houlong Village, so they can only be sold in stores on the spot.

Therefore, Li Bo, who was in charge of financial planning, complained bitterly, no matter how good his mathematics was, no matter how high his double-entry bookkeeping ability was, he was completely powerless in the face of such a monetary system.

When Li Bo saw Guo Dalu feeding Da Hei a coin one day, his eyes lit up, and he snatched the coin from under Da Hei's mouth and checked it again and again in the sunlight -- he had learned pinyin and simplified Chinese characters in Yixue, and immediately understood what it was -- a coin! This is a one-of-a-kind coin!

Li Bo was surprised and delighted: "Brother Guo, when did you get such a coin out? I know! We also want to mint coins in Houlong Village! This coin is good, the quality is much better than that of copper coins, and the workmanship is exquisite, even if it is used as silver." ”

Guo Da Luxin said that this yuan coin is made of nickel-plated steel core, and the cost is much cheaper than silver. But he usually saw a lot of chaos in the private currency, and after listening to Li Bo's words, his heart moved: "Li Bo, do you see that this coin can really be used on the market?"

Li Bozheng put the coin in his mouth and bit it: "Well, it's hard enough, some people use knives to file copper from copper coins, and our coin can not be filed." Hearing Guo Dalu's question, he thought for a while: "This kind of coin is neither copper nor silver, and it may be a little difficult for the people to accept it all at once." However, we can use it in our own stores, and if we want to buy our goods, we have to use this coin, and there are discounts, so that we can slowly let the people get used to this coin, and when they find out the benefits of this coin in the future, then they will use it spontaneously. ”

Guo Dalu's eyes lit up, Li Bo has a very good idea, he is no longer the wild boy who rummaged in his room in order to find a stutter, he actually thought about the currency problem by himself, and even had a preliminary plan. (To be continued.) )
