Datang first village

Li Yuanxing did not specify the length, thickness, or wood of the bat.It only stipulates the requirements for the ball used in the game, and in the real game, the ball must be made by Qinwangzhuang.

Li Yuanxing used Qin Wang's money to pay the army.

The sergeants who received the coins had some surprises. The coins were copper coins, bronze coins mixed with tin.

The style is exquisite, but no one has ever seen it.

"This is Qin Wang's money, which can buy more things than miscellaneous money." An officer seemed to have heard some news, and quickly spread the news: "Qin Wang's money, one tael of silver coin can be exchanged for [-] Wen. There are more exchanges on the black market. Whoever receives the silver coins, it is best to put them away."

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers did not have military pay, but the family tax was exempted.

Moreover, the soldiers of the government have to prepare their own weapons, of course they get extra income from the spoils of war.

This was also one of the main reasons why Li Daozong was blackmailing wealthy households when he was in Liangzhou, because he needed to distribute trophies to the soldiers. Now that he thinks about it, he didn't let the soldiers rob the people, which is considered a good job.

In the early Tang Dynasty, only Qianniuwei and Jianmenwei were paid, but the number was not high.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was not calculated by money, but by food.A soldier gets about fifteen shi of grain per year, which is the current [-] catties of grain. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was always several hundred Wen in silver.

As for the Forbidden Army, they actually pay a certain amount of money each year. Of course, this is after paying for food and lodging, so this is what they have left in their hands, and it can be regarded as saved.

Li Yuanxing did not distribute food, but paid monthly.

For these standing soldiers, the grades set by Li Yuanxing have not yet been implemented. The uniform is twenty five-cent copper coins for each person, and then fifty one-cent copper coins.

That's 150 texts.

Don't underestimate these 150 articles, you can buy about [-] catties of refined grains in a good harvest year.

When it comes to ninth-rank petty officials, even the lowest ones, there is a qualitative difference in income from the ninth rank.The first is Lumi, with thirty stones per year.Then there is Yongye Field, the standard of the ninth grade is two hectares and fifty acres. Of course, this is his family's farm, not necessarily paddy fields, but the number will definitely not be small.

(One hectare is one hundred acres)

According to the original agriculture of the Tang Dynasty, the annual income of the Yongyetian of these nine-rank petty civil servants was about [-] shi.

Then, the income of the Tang Dynasty also included salaries, which included food, useful items, and servants.

However, if you change to a county magistrate in a particularly poor place, you will really starve to death.For example, in Li Yuanxing's four counties, the county magistrates are all seventh-rank officials. Although each person has [-] mu of land, there is no water and no one to plant. The output of these [-] mu of land is less than ten shi of grain, or even worse What about Li Yuanxing's yield per mu in Qinwangzhuang.

What Li Yuanxing sent was money, and he just wanted to change the complicated salary system of Datang.

After distributing the money and returning to Qinwangzhuang, the next day, Li Yuanxing was preparing to have a meeting with Li Jing and others to discuss the reform of the military system, and thick reports were piled up on his desk.

"Goro, the price of timber in Chang'an City has skyrocketed, almost doubling!"

When cutting trees in the Tang Dynasty, there must be approval, but it is not possible to cut trees casually and sell them in Chang'an.The world is royal, and so are the trees in the mountains, so they must not be cut down casually.

"Your Highness, the price of wood has skyrocketed because the twelve guards are buying wood like crazy. I know that the left guard already has [-] bats. Going out early in the morning means running for ten miles with a load, and then swinging three hundred bats in formation. Down."

Cui Dunli was reporting from the side, but there was a smile on his face.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "They should be a little bloody. Does Chang'an City have any reaction to King Qin's money?"

"Your Highness, not yet. Because the Twelve Guards paid the money, the money in the hands of the sergeants has not flowed out yet. Tomorrow is Xunri, and I will send people to pay attention to see how the people in Chang'an City react after receiving the money from the King of Qin. , It is estimated that there will be a detailed report tomorrow night!"

Cui Dunli replied very orthodoxly.

Li Jing said at this time: "The military system cannot be established in a few days, why not take a look at Chang'an City tomorrow!"

"Take some money and go to the two cities?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically, and also agreed with Li Jing's suggestion.

"Wu Lang still don't want to go, anyone in Chang'an city can't recognize King Qin!" Li Jing said the truth, Li Yuanxing was so depressed that he didn't know what to say.He could only watch Li Jing take a bag of money and go out.

After Li Jing and other generals left, Yuan Chun asked in a low voice: "Your Highness is close to the people, and the people in Chang'an City will naturally recognize His Highness!"

"Nonsense, as soon as this king goes out, there are at least 200 guards around. When this king arrives in Chang'an, Jing Zhaoyin may be so nervous that he may not even be able to sit still. I don't know how many people are following around. He is really a commoner. You are stupid, you really think I am stupid, those who did not recognize me are either people who have arranged in advance, or they are just pretending!"

Yuan Chun naturally knew about this, but she didn't dare to say it.

Li Yuanxing also didn't intend to make a private visit in a micro-service, which would cause great trouble to the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion.

At least, these people would feel uneasy if they found themselves out of their sight.

What Li Yuanxing didn't know was that at this time someone in Chang'an City was already using his King Qin money to spend. Even if it wasn't the first to use it, the real copper pieces were used as money, but the people in Chang'an were a little caught off guard!

Those above the court naturally knew about King Qin's money.

But the common people don't know that when the data exploded in Datang, even if there were newspapers, the speed of dissemination of information was not fast, not to mention that Li Yuanxing's Qin Wangqian had never appeared in newspapers.

The first one to get Qin Wang's money and use it was a grocer.

He sent eight thousand spools to Qinwangzhuang. The eight thousand spools were worthless, and they were only exchanged for three pennies and five hundred Wen.

Zheng He gave him thirty one-cent silver coins, and the first batch of one-cent silver coins were all printed with Qin Qiong's head, which was Li Er's meaning and Li Yuanxing's meaning.After all, Qin Qiong had rescued Li Er several times, and it was also Qin Qiong who Li Yuanxing came into contact with when he first arrived in Datang.

So the first batch of one-cent silver coins chose to use Qin Qiong's head portrait.

Then he gave ninety five-cent copper coins and ten one-cent soldier coins.

The reputation of Prince Qin's Mansion was not mentioned, the grocer didn't ask a word, just took the money bag and left, he didn't even count it, just glanced at it casually at that time, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Just know, here are some little silver cakes, some copper coins.

When I got home and was about to enter the account, I realized that the coins were very different.Exquisite like jewelry, not like money.

His eldest son was considered a scholar of the concubine family. He was going to buy some paper and pens at noon that day, so he grabbed a few silver coins and a few copper coins.And said: "This is the money given by Prince Qin's mansion. It's the first time I see you. You should be able to buy paper and pen."

"Big! The money from Prince Qin's Mansion should not be able to buy it, but it must be able to buy it!"

In terms of time, when Li Yuanxing was in the barracks and before the military pay was paid to the soldiers, the first piece of King Qin's money had entered Chang'an's market and began to circulate.

"Brother, this money..." After receiving the money, the shopkeeper of the book store was a little dumbfounded.

"Money from Prince Qin's Mansion!"

"No, no!" The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's not that the money can't be said, but it's a novelty to see it for the first time." I don't know what the shopkeeper thought at the beginning, at least after he opened his mouth, his attitude was very approving this money.The shopkeeper said to the clerk: "Give this little brother one more piece of paper. There is a count on the back of this silver coin. It is one coin, and the top is 120 coins!"

A scholar is a scholar, even if he is not a nerd, he is very old-fashioned.

If it were an idler on the street, he might take advantage of it and leave after taking the things.

"My father delivered the goods for Qinwangzhuang. The steward of Qinwangzhuang told me that this is one silver coin, and I would give it to my father as a hundred yuan, so I can't buy your 120 yuan paper!"

"Brother, do you have any copper coins?" the shopkeeper asked.

The scholar took out the money bag from his pocket and found a five-coin coin and a one-coin coin.

The shopkeeper smiled: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is kind, and Qin Wang's mansion is very fair. What the steward said is right, one silver coin is worth one hundred coins, but it is the copper coins of Qin Wang's mansion, not this miscellaneous money." Said Then, the shopkeeper took out an old copper coin and put it together.

It's not like I don't feel it, this comparison will naturally see the difference.

Not to mention whether the copper is good or not, it is the degree of sophistication that makes the difference.

"Good money, and bad money. Naturally, they can be exchanged for bad. You should know the history when you study. During the Han Dynasty, there was a lot of difference between putting copper coins and selling copper coins. Take this knife and paper with peace of mind. Talk about integrity and business. And honesty!"

The book grower bowed to the end, and left the shop with the paper he bought and a few new pens.

The shops in West Market, especially these small shops, are naturally one after another, and the shopkeepers from several nearby shops also come here. It is the first time they see such exquisite money, so naturally they have to watch.

"This money, hard goods!" said a shopkeeper.

Hard goods can be understood as preservation of value, or money is good money, or it can be understood that this money must be universal.You must know that some states and counties only recognize the exchange of goods, and then go out, foreign countries and small countries, I am afraid that they will recognize the money if they see it.

"This money is more than a penny!" Another shopkeeper said.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin will definitely not post wages, but we people don't understand. The silver seems to be eight cents of silver, and with this work, it is not too much for a penny. The copper seems to be seven cents of bronze. In theory, this is already high-quality money. If Qin Wangzhuang is willing to exchange bad money for these high-quality money, my family is willing to save such coins!"

Several shopkeepers were discussing, but they really like such coins.

Because it is exquisite, because it is exquisite.

"I don't know if there will be articles about these money in Chang'an News. Thinking about it, twelve qian for ten Qin Wang qin should be the right market price."

The speed of news circulation in Chang'an is too slow.

When Li Jing and others arrived in Chang'an, the money had already flowed out for two days, and no more than half of the shops in the eastern and western cities knew that King Qin's new money had appeared. (To be continued.)
