It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 387

"Ha, that's just a test item I made on a whim, on impulse." Cheng Dalei straightened his robe and picked up the teacup on the case.

"Why don't you keep going?" Axi asked.

"Can't you do it?"

"Why can't you do it?" Axi.

"Don't you understand this?" Cheng Dalei put down the teacup: "The banknotes are too advanced, and the subordinates don't recognize them at all. Everything must be based on objective laws. Whatever you do, you can't go against the general trend."

Axi blinked: "It's not that there is no way, I do have a way, and I can't say it will work."

"Young man, huh...too naive."

"When I was working as an accountant with others, I also thought about it. Copper money is inconvenient to carry. If there is something that can replace copper money, it would be great. After thinking about it, I really thought of a method, but I didn't have the chance to implement it."

"What way?"

"The copper plate is nothing more than a token. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is copper or iron, gold or silver. The key is to make everyone believe it."

Cheng Dalei had to look at Axi with admiration, it was extremely difficult to see this. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, such as the one in front of Axi. Of course, it is not difficult to see the truth, the key is how to do it.

"How to do it specifically?"

In a few words, Axi explained his own way. Cheng Dalei's eyes became brighter the more he listened. The implementation of banknotes was always his fault. If this matter was not resolved, Cheng Dalei would not be able to swallow his breath.

After listening to Axi's method, Cheng Dalei immediately called Heshen over and began to implement it immediately. Fortunately, the banknotes could not be pushed down before, but Cheng Dalei took them back. Now the printed banknotes have all returned to Cheng Dalei's hands.

Heshen's execution is very strong. He came up with the initial plan on the same day, and began to implement it the next day.

...

Zhu Shuang is from a family outside Qinchuan Pass, and furthermore, his ancestral home is in Yangzhou. The ancestors in the family have been farming for generations, and the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are getting heavier every day. In the end, the crops are less and less. All his own fields are sold, and he has become a long-term worker of the landlord's family.

Life was not going well, because the argument hurt the landlord and was afraid of the government's accountability, so he escaped with his wife and children, begging along the street to live. When I heard the news from Qinchuan Pass on the way, I came to Qinchuan Pass.

Here he is given fields and houses, and the tools for farming cattle and farming can also be rented from Qinchuanguan. He was the first group of people to come to Qinchuan Pass. Five people planted more than ten acres of land, worked day and night, and caught up with the good weather in the past two years, and the harvest was not bad.

After the autumn is the slack of farming, he can take a good rest for the rest of the day, and he no longer has to worry about being hungry and freezing to death in winter.

On this day, the village chief sent a letter to inform everyone of the news from Qinchuan Pass.

After Zhu Shuang heard it, he went home to discuss with his wife and children. To put it simply, there is a public granary in Qinchuan Pass, and everyone can store food in Qinchuan Pass. First, it saves everyone the cost of building the granary, and it also prevents insects from eating rats and thieves. Second, there is an annual interest of 4%. , save 100 jin, you can get 4 jin more.

"Should we go to store food?" Zhu Shuang knocked on the cigarette bag pot.

He has three sons, all of whom are now grown ups, and are good in the field. The eldest son said: "If this is a good thing, but if we deposit it, will it not come back?"

"It shouldn't be. If the big boss is really greedy for our grain, just grab it directly, or increase some taxes, there is no need to use this method." Zhu Shuang.

"Anyone else?" Zhu Shuang's wife asked.

"We've all gone home to discuss, and now no one has an idea. Didn't I come back to discuss with you, what should we do?"

"Then you go to the city tomorrow to see. If there are many people, we will save it. If no one exists, we will not show the limelight."

At dawn the next day, Zhu Shuang took his three sons into Qinchuan Pass, and found that today’s Qinchuan Pass was overcrowded. Some were driving donkeys, some were pulling carts, and everyone was pulling food.

When I got to the granary, I found that it was even more crowded. Someone was presiding over the storage of grain, over-scaled it, and transported it into the granary.

Some of them are shoddy, and the behavior of mixing sand in the rice exists. At first, a few were beaten severely, and the people behind did not dare to do so.

The matter of saving grain is under Heshen's control. He is a very dark man.

Someone had already handed out a voucher for storing food, and Zhu Shuang also went over to look and found that it was green and had toads printed on it.

"Hey, isn't this something that the big boss sent out a long time ago to replace copper coins, why is it now a food stamp?"

Zhu Shuang couldn't help asking, everyone knew what Cheng Dalei did back then, and he was even laughed at for a long time.

"Hey, you don't know this. At the beginning, this thing was printed too much, and now it is used as a food stamp. This one hundred wen is equal to one hundred catties, and ten cents is equal to ten catties. You can go to the bank to redeem it. , with this food stamp, you can go to get food at any time, but you must not lose it." The man carefully took the food stamp into his arms: "If you lose it, it is not yours."

"Hey, this old man, how much did you exchange?"

"Oh, it's only 5,000 catties in total. The maximum is 5,000 catties, and there is a limit on the amount."

"Are there any restrictions?"

"Of course, the annual interest of 4%, you think this good thing is that the big boss is begging us, we are begging the big boss, and now I can't save more if I want to."

Whoops, Zhu Shuang suddenly realized that this hesitation almost missed this good thing. He put away his cigarette bag and hurriedly called his three sons home.

"Dad, what are you going to do now? We're not going for a walk in the city."

"You're still wandering around, hurry up and go home to transport food. If you don't go back, you won't be able to catch up."

Cheng Dalei hid in a room in the distance, watching this scene coldly.

Let everyone use paper money as money, they will not accept it. But as long as you change your way of thinking, you will immediately be in a situation where everyone is rushing, and it hardly takes much effort.

Now, everyone trades commodities, mostly in exchange for food. After a while, they will naturally use the food stamps as currency, and there is almost no need for Cheng Dalei to push anything.

What Cheng Dalei couldn't do with all his brains was accomplished so easily. This thing can be done, Axi should take the lead.

Replacing currency with banknotes can save you a lot of trouble. Of course, banknotes are still circulated inside Qinchuan Pass, and caravans from outside still need to trade in gold, silver, and rice.

At this time, Axi came over and said, "The boss, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?"

"He came from Liangzhou City. He said his surname was Zhong. Now he is waiting at the General's Mansion. It is said that he has something important to talk to you about."

"Go and see him go."
