Villager of Daming

Chapter 830: Sitting in the state capital to exchange banknotes

Sichuan, Jiading Prefecture, Liu Weiqian, who participated in the political affairs of Zhongshu Province in Sichuan, is sitting here, and the officials are busy doing things.

Everyone is very grateful to the court. The flood last year was so scary. Not only the people, but also themselves would have been washed away if they were not prepared in advance.

The new yamen was built and was better than the previous one. The most important thing now was to handle the vegetables for the people and supervise the merchants.

The yamen went to help, and the clerk was responsible for recording the data, the number of each household, and communicating with the merchants. Many people were illiterate and did not have large scales.

The district chief was too busy, so he had no choice but to ask for support from the government. It was agreed that the yamen would be given five cents per acre of land, and the yamen would take care of all the things that required brainpower.

An acre of land costs five cents, and one family has dozens of acres. The land affected by the disaster and used for growing vegetables totals hundreds of thousands of acres. God knows how the land in Xiaqiu Village over there is sold.

The money in Jiading Prefecture belongs to the officials and officials of Jiading Prefecture, and the money in Yazhou belongs to the state.

The price is fixed, at least seven cents per catty. The merchant wants to lower the price and drive them out. Why do they charge a dime? Do you think others don’t know?Believe it or not, my yamen organized the manpower to transport it and sell it.

Now that the Yangtze River is running smoothly, the areas that could easily go wrong have been blasted away.

Liu Weiqian was not responsible for specific affairs. He just watched and chatted with the sergeant who came here to de-blind.

The government office of Jiading Prefecture needs the best department store in the prefecture. It has just secured the site and is looking for people to build it. Other villages have already started teaching and are now helping to cooperate with the yamen to sell green cabbage heads.

It's the news they brought. It costs seven cents per catty, and they charge ten cents over there. The merchants make two cents per catty after excluding freight and labor costs.

Ten thousand kilograms is equivalent to two hundred coins. The key point is that this is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Floating down the river takes a short time and there is no need to worry about insufficient transportation capacity.

Then choose a route to unload the goods from Xuanwu Lake instead of taking the Qinhuai River to save time. Xiaqiu Village transports the goods to the mustard factory by train.

Another route enters the Huangchi River in the upper reaches, enters Danyang Lake, then turns to Shijiu Lake, and flows downstream from the Yanzhi River into the Qinhuai River to reach the mustard factory.

"General Fang came here to talk about raising pigs? Using cabbage seedlings?" Liu Weiqian spoke to Fang Yi, the young general in charge of Jiading Prefecture affairs.

Fang Yi nodded lightly: "According to statistics, there are [-] pigs in the entire Jiading Prefecture, which is too few. We need to cook green cabbage heads and rice for them to eat.

In addition, the uncooked food must be fresh. It is also good for feeding chickens, ducks and geese. If you add other large livestock, just dry the green cabbage seedlings.

There is no time for rabbits to breed for the time being, not to mention that rabbits are prone to diarrhea if they eat fresh rice seedlings and are destined to die.

We people have many tasks, not only teaching literacy and arithmetic, but also leading the people in the village to understand some basic medical knowledge.

Others are involved in breeding and planting, and they cooperate with people who have learned their skills from working in Xiaqiu Village to handle affairs. They are more professional, but there are fewer people. "

Liu Weiqian nodded: "You are free to act, and you need the cooperation of the local authorities. We guarantee that there will be no problems. We have received letters from the Central Government and all the government offices have made up for the shortfalls."

"Okay! We still have the task of promoting treasure banknotes. Everyone should exchange gold, silver and copper coins for treasure banknotes, and then use the treasure banknotes to buy things."

Fang Yi spoke straightforwardly. He was a soldier and did not bother to talk in circles. The temperament of soldiers who had participated in fighting was different from that of ordinary officials.

"Did you bring the treasure banknotes?" Liu Weiqian had never seen the treasure banknotes. The army came and was busy building department stores.

Fang Yi took out his inner pocket and took out one treasure note each from one penny to ten thousand yuan: "Follow up, there will be treasure banknotes with dime denominations delivered. The day before yesterday, the Clippers said that Nanjing has issued an additional 600 million yuan of treasure banknotes. People are willing to do so." Change."

Liu Weiqian took the treasure note, and as soon as he took it he found that it was different from other paper and felt particularly good in the hand.Looking at the colorful pattern above, Fang Yi reminded me to look at the watermark, and I realized that it couldn't be faked, as the watermark was sandwiched in between.

Then the color printing was almost impossible. Each banknote has a different number. Obviously, each banknote is numbered one by one.

In addition, the areas that feel prominent to the touch are said to be blind spots. If I want to draw consistently on a piece of ordinary paper, the color of the ink cannot be mixed. It is not a dye for normal drawings.

"The numbers are all different?" Liu Weiqian took out his pocket, there was a pocket in his sleeve, and took out the silver beans: "Weigh them to see how much they are different. If you pay more, you can make up for the difference."

"Okay!" Fang Yi said and actually took out a box from his body, opened it, and the box appeared.

Liu Weiqian: "..."

Fang Yi first looked at the silver bump, bit it with his teeth, and then weighed it. After more than ten seconds, he confirmed: "Liu Shenzheng, one, two, eight, and five cents. The difference is three cents and eight cents. You have to pay me 38 cents."

Just look at it, from one article to consistent, it should be 880 eight articles, one article, two articles and five articles, ten articles, twenty articles and fifty articles, one hundred articles, two hundred articles and five hundred articles.

Count, one tael, eight cents, eight cents, you see, it’s 38 cents, or you can ask me for 38 cents. "

Liu Weiqian went over to take a look in person and hit the empty box again. It was flat, no problem.

He continued to take out his sleeves and took out three coins for tens and one for five. He handed over three Hongwu Tongbao coins, which were normally one penny, and said, "Is this really good?"

"Xiaqiu Village's exquisite craftsmanship, and a few small weights for calibrating the scale! Carry it with you. If someone wants to replace it, it must be good." Fang Yi pointed to the weights in the box and said.

"We still have copper coins. Let's exchange them all. It's so heavy." Liu Weiqian took out another handful of copper coins and finally relaxed.

Fang Yi counted the numbers and exchanged them for Bao Chao: "Actually Bao Chao looks beautiful and can withstand a certain degree of blisters. When we learned about it, the village said that the technology was not good enough and that the strong moisturizer will be improved in the future. We can just use it now." , when the time comes, exchange the old treasure banknotes for new treasure banknotes.”

"Ah? Isn't this thing afraid of water? It's better than the previous treasure banknotes."

Liu Weiqian used the Yuan Dynasty treasure banknotes, which cannot touch water. They are really for ordinary people. The smallest one is now one penny, and there will be smaller ones later.

The smallest ten coins of the Yuan Dynasty banknotes were made of mulberry paper and would not survive exposure to water. The key colors were different.

Today's treasure notes feel like treasures. Just this piece of paper can kill countless craftsmen.

Thinking about it, he took out a one-penny banknote, put it on the table next to him, gritted his teeth, and poured the tea in the bowl.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, I carefully touched the treasure note, pinched a corner and lifted it up little by little. I found that it was fine, it was just wet.

He pressed the wet treasure notes with a silk handkerchief, sucked up the water, picked it up and looked at it: "You can make a fortune just by selling paper!"

"Do you sell ink? If someone else buys it, it will make money for painting." Fang Yi joked there.

Liu Weiqian picked up other pieces of paper and placed them on top and bottom of the banknotes, and continued to absorb water: "No one knows how to draw. It costs a lot of money to buy ink and paper. A consistent painting is only a thousand cents. If you have this ability, you can draw What can't be sold for more money? The key watermark is made during paper making. The skills of Xiaqiu Village are unparalleled, amazing! I admire you!"
