Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 774: The paper money concept, the road starts!

Three days later, the first batch of funds raised by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, 335,000 yuan, has all arrived. Seeing a room full of copper coins, Li Zexuan sighed in his heart:

"The times are too backward~! With more than 300,000 sticks in this mere trivial area, a room is a little too much to fit, and the servants at home have counted the money for most of the day! It looks like modern times, with fingers lightly on the phone The last point, whether it was 300,000 or 30 million, all arrived in an instant! The worst, modern cash is much better than the copper coins at this time! Eleven thousand one wad, thirty million is a box. Things, it’s not like now, 300,000 sticks just filled a room!"

For the currency of this era, Li Zexuan actually doesn't know how many times he complained about it in his heart. Just imagine, if you want to buy a horse in the West Market, you don't have to talk about it more than a dozen times, right? In ancient times, money was basically about three to four kilograms, and a dozen of them was about forty to fifty kilograms. The weight of copper used to buy horses was almost equal to the weight of a person. You can imagine the large transactions of this era. How inconvenient it is.

"Paper currency, paper currency, we must develop paper currency in the future~!"

Li Zexuan said with emotion.

Modern online payment is too far away from the level of Tang Dynasty, but paper money can still be looked forward to.

In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a shadow of banknotes. According to historical records, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu for many years and the treasury was empty. In order to solve financial difficulties, he made "three baht coins" and "platinum coins" (alloy coins made of silver and tin). The "White Deerskin Coin" was issued.

The so-called "white deerskin coin" uses the white deerskin of the palace as the currency material. Each square ruler and the surrounding color are painted. Each leather coin has a fixed value of 400,000 coins. Since its value is far from the value of the leather coin, the "white deerskin coin" is only used as a gift between the princes and is not used in the circulation field. Therefore, it is not a paper currency in the true sense, but can only be said to be a paper currency. Pioneer.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a currency called "Flying Money". At that time, it was inconvenient for merchants to bring a large amount of copper coins when they went out for business. They first went to the government to issue a voucher that recorded the place and the number of coins, and then took the voucher to withdraw money and purchase goods in other places. "Flying money" is essentially only a kind of exchange business. It does not intervene in circulation and does not perform the function of currency, so it is not a real paper currency.

The "Jiaozi" in Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty, was the beginning of real banknotes.

Why banknotes did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, or dynasties earlier than the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not accidental, it is an inevitable product of social, political and economic development. The development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was very rapid, and more currency was needed in commodity circulation. At that time, there was a shortage of copper money, which could not meet the demand in circulation.

At that time, iron coins were widely used in Sichuan. The iron coins were low in value and heavy in quantity, making it extremely inconvenient to use. One copper coin equals ten iron coins. For every thousand iron coins, the weight is 25 catties for big money and 13 catties for middle money. It takes 20,000 iron to buy a piece of cloth, weighs about 500 jin, and requires a car. Therefore, objectively a light currency is needed, which is the main reason why banknotes first appeared in Sichuan.

Furthermore, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocratic country, the currency of the country was not unified. There were several currency zones, each of which was independent and not universal. At that time, there were dedicated copper coins for Shisanlu (an administrative unit in the Song Dynasty), and iron coins for the four tracks. Shaanxi and Hedong used both copper and iron coins. Currency outflow is strictly prohibited in various currency areas, and the use of banknotes can prevent the outflow of copper and iron money.

In addition, the Song Dynasty government was often attacked by Liao, Xia, and Jin, and spent a lot of military expenses and indemnities. It also needed to issue paper money to make up for the fiscal deficit. A variety of reasons led to the birth of the paper currency-"Jiaozi".

According to the original history, it was impossible for banknotes to appear in the Tang Dynasty, but now, he, a modern man, has passed through, and he has also passed through a rich second generation with a wealth of wealth, so he needs to do it. Something up.

Thinking about it in my mind, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning. Regarding banknotes, he will do it in the future, but he will definitely not do it now. This requires time and talents in related fields.

When he came to the academy, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning's office.

"Shaoning! The money for road construction is all in place, so you can arrange manpower as soon as possible and start construction~!"

Li Zexuan opened the door and walked in. Seeing that Yan Shaoning was still alone inside, he opened the door directly.

Yan Shaoning stood up and said in amazement: "The money is coming so soon? That's it, I have already arranged it here, in that case, let's start construction today~! How about the preparation of cement at the factory? Up?"

Li Zexuan replied: "There is no problem at the workshop. The output of cement can definitely be supplied~!"

Since Qiquge Workshop moved its main productivity to Meicun~IndoMTL.com~The output of carriages, scooters, glass, cement and books has gradually increased. Now Qiquge’s supply capacity has It has been greatly improved, and the scene where the people looted like before, but disappeared in an instant, has rarely appeared.

This is also the purpose of Li Zexuan's expansion of the workshop. Although hunger marketing can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in a short time, it will only make people disgusted after a long time. After all, he has also experienced hunger marketing by a certain brand in his previous life. Tortured.

Yan Shaoning nodded and said: "That's good~!"

Li Zexuan just swept the surroundings and asked with a smile: "Where is Miss Mo in your family?"

"She has been at the workshop recently, ask the master of the workshop to help her make the lens~!"

Yan Shaoning replied subconsciously, but he instantly reacted to Li Zexuan’s ill-spoken language and hurriedly cursed: "Damn, what is our girl Mo? Don’t you guys don’t talk nonsense and ruin Miss Mo’s. Qingyu, Mr. Mo will have to ask you to settle the accounts~!"

Li Zexuan laughed loudly and turned back to go out. His words were left in the air, "Haha, Mr. Mo will probably come to you at that time, not to me. Who will let you steal someone’s daughter’s heart? ~?"

Yan Shaoning's bashful ears are scarcely red. He chases out the door, trying to find Li Zexuan for the theory, but there is no shadow of Li Zexuan outside?

This guy can only "pooh" and murmured: "How can this kid think about that stuff all day long? Fortunately, he is still the head of Yanhuang Academy, a little bit long. No, it’s a waste of being a teacher~! Oh, getting married? What kind of relationship? How nice it is to be free by yourself~!"
