Take the mall to Datang

Smaller denominations are more common than Wanguan’s, but Yuanshan currently has only [-] copies. On the one hand, the numbers need to be printed slowly, and the printed money tickets need to be shipped to the bank. The serial number of each piece will be recorded, and manual grading and review are required, so it takes a lot of work before it is issued.

There is an oversized bill in front of the glass window of the money bank. After zooming in, there are notes on it, which introduces the authenticity of the money bill. From the number to the image, a fixed amount money bill is half-covered when the money bank issued One seal, the other half is printed on the registration book when the bill is registered.

There were still people explaining in front of the glass window outside, and also took out a money ticket with a fixed amount of money for the onlookers to check.

The publicity was very strong, and the common people remembered some of it. The merchants were the first to carry out the exchange. Carloads of coins began to be sent to the money bank. The speed was very fast. Only the coins needed to be counted, and the gold and silver could be distributed on the spot. ticket.

In one morning, a total of 20 bills were issued, and [-] coins were exchanged in one morning. Not many people came to pay back the bills in the afternoon, but nearly a hundred bills were exchanged.

Bicycle sales in Hepingfang are booming, and paying with money tickets can be [-] guan cheaper. How can such a good thing be missed.

The cashiers in Heping Square are very relaxed today. There is no need to count the one-hundred-guan bills, and there is no need to send someone to collect the money. The cost of the carriage is saved.

This is a relatively relaxed day since she worked as a cashier, and it is necessary for her to write this kind of thing in her work diary.

Today's business income of Hepingfang is very objective. Not only that, the number of membership renewals and transactions of Pingkangfang Song and Dance Hall has increased a lot.

On this day, the news of Qian Piao went directly to the bookstore of Shijia, a tabloid in the Tang Dynasty, to help publicize it.

Many merchants are just looking for fresh ideas, and those who have good things even take the money tickets to Luoyang money bank to exchange them, which is really easy to use.

But it's a pity that only the money bank in Chang'an has the business of issuing money notes. After converting the money notes into money, he can only transport them back in a horse-drawn carriage.

But the effect of this joke is that it is a good start. Baiguan's money tickets can be used at will. As long as there is a place in Qianxing, they can be directly exchanged for county coins. This is undoubtedly good news for shipping people.

For this reason, some members of the chamber of commerce began to form a group to exchange multiple money tickets. After a week, more than [-] money tickets were exchanged for [-] coins. At the same time, this is also the bottom line of the amount that Yuan Shan wants to issue. .

The imperial court has been paying attention to this matter, because the role of money tickets is too great. Undoubtedly, paper can be used as money in a disguised form. What if Yuan Shan prints this kind of money wantonly? But the matter of the enemy country may even overturn the entire Tang Dynasty.

Civil servants are all eyeing, they are looking for an opportunity, but Yuan Shan has always been considerate in his work, and he would not have dared to do so directly without the permission of His Majesty today, but the issuance of coins can save a lot of copper consumption. In terms of benefits, it saves costs and provides convenience.

However, there is no plan to make a new coin at the moment, because it is impossible to meet everyone's application needs in a short period of time. Besides, this matter should not be too eager for quick success, and there must be some buffer time for people.

It is quite difficult to use it in some remote areas, and the denomination of Baiguan is still a considerable fortune. Copper coins are definitely more secure than money tickets.

But merchants don't care about that, especially those who go to Lanzhou, the transaction with money tickets has become common in a short period of time, because their purchases and shipments are relatively large businesses, so Baiguan's money tickets can only To meet some of their needs, more of them use gold and silver for transactions.

The main reason is that the Tubo people agree with this kind of hard currency. The Tubo people in Tuyuhun still quite approve of money tickets, because although it is not written on it, it is labeled Yuanshan.

As a result, several areas near Lanzhou became the gathering places for coins, and most of the copper coins flowed into the hands of Tubo people. This is actually a very bad phenomenon.

Chapter 979 Money Ticket Issuing Center

The matter of diplomatic currency can only be done slowly. Judging from the current transactions of the Tibetans, it is not that there are incoming and outgoing coins.

Yuan Shan stayed in his Duke's mansion, leisurely reading all kinds of gossip written in the tabloids of the Tang Dynasty, especially the weird novels of the Tang Dynasty. Award, and then his name will appear in the list of supported authors, and now it is firmly ranked first and no one can shake it. It is precisely because of this that Datang's novels have become a reason why some scholars are enthusiastically pursuing them.

The best-written ones will also be famous, with the ostentation like an oiran, changing the title to Wenkui and other rhetoric, and also holding book signing parties and other activities, and Yuan Shan's reward has become the target of selection essays. Kui's point is actually not very fair. Personal preferences play a certain role, but everyone likes to hear about it. It's nothing to have fun. Anyway, if you follow them after watching the excitement, there is no loss.

When the driver came to a very frightening description, Caiyi came in and said: "Master, Qianxing sent someone to say that the money ticket has been issued, and there is still a need for money tickets."

"Then you go to the backyard to see how many they have sorted out, and register and ship them all over," Yuan Shan said.

"Yes." Caiyi left quickly, but returned soon after, and Dugu Ruolan also followed.

"Husband, didn't the last batch of bills take less than three days to ship out? Why do I need more? Now I only have less than [-] bills, and they have been printed for more than half a month. Haven't done it yet." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Is it released so fast?" Yuan Shan asked doubtfully.

Caiyi replied: "My lord, you may not know that money tickets are very popular recently, and they are all used by merchants. Recently, the Yuan family's several business settlements are all paid with money tickets."

"It turns out that's the case. I'm really worried about the ability of the merchants to purchase and pay. If so, the current [-] bills are really not enough. It doesn't matter if it's not enough, just print another [-] bills." Yuan Shan said calmly. .

"Reprint, if so, our Duke's Mansion will really become a factory for printing money." Dugu Ruolan said with some reluctance.

He is aware of Dugu Ruolan and others' hard work recently. He has not had time to check some of his accounts. Decided to think about it first, slow down, and the coins of Datang without money tickets are still in the same circulation.

"Okay ma'am, just print it slowly. If the money bank doesn't have a money ticket, you can not issue it first. Just reply to them like this." Yuan Shan said.

So in the next few days, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to exchange money tickets, and all the local money banks sent people back to Chang'an for a meeting, because the local money banks did not have the right to issue money, but they could issue them. All the people in charge of the money bank in Datang gathered in Chang'an to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shan took this opportunity, and as the largest owner of the money bank, he proposed that the money bank would make a special contribution, contribute money, and contribute to the establishment of a money ticket issuing center, and this issuing center would be located in Chang'an to exercise the rights of the head office.

The venue needs to be expanded again on the original basis, and the national model will be tripled and five times its original size, including accommodation. Because of confidentiality reasons, this job has a high salary but restricts personal freedom, but the benefits are quite good, because of its particularity, Therefore, the choice of manpower is extremely cautious.

In fact, it is not too serious. The production of special paper is independent, the printing is independent, and the printing number is independent. With the registration system, as long as no one carries out entrainment, there is no need to worry about it.

The defense scale of the money ticket issuance center is stricter than that of the money bank. After Yuanshan proposed these, he was approved by all the principals. During the construction of the issuance center, Yuanshan still had to provide the money tickets issued, so Yuanshan The wives, women, and maids all went to battle together, which relieved the shortage of manpower.

It took three days for the money bank to hold a meeting. Most of the research was on the coordination of coin transportation, as well as on small coins. Since it was decided to build a money ticket issuing center, Baiguan's money They are all so popular. If ten guan coins are issued, it will become a revolution in the coins of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there will be yiguan qian and [-] Wen banknotes under the ten guan coins. Maybe the banknotes will completely replace them in the future. The value of gold, silver and copper.

Yuan Shan laughed and said nothing. It is theoretically feasible, but the issuance still has to be determined according to the purchasing power of the market. Hundreds of times and thousands of times the amount of fixed banknotes. Now the paper workshop can meet such a quantity, and the printing needs a certain amount of time to meet it. But for numbering, manual numbering works every shift, can it meet the rapid consumption?

So this idea in a short time is not realistic, he decided to satisfy the fixed amount of money first, and then talk about other things.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace, a hundred-coin bill was placed on Li Shimin's desk.

"Ma He, what do you think of this money ticket?" Li Shimin asked.

Ma He responded immediately: "Most of the large-value transactions of the people of the Tang Dynasty are paid in gold and silver. This money is light and easy to carry, and it adopts a special papermaking process that is not easy to be imitated. Money can be guaranteed to be universal, as far as my family knows, merchants now strongly recommend money as a means of payment, because it is easy to carry, and it is extremely easy to use in Lanzhou."

"Well, what you said makes sense, so what if you use this thing to replace my Tang coins?" Li Shimin asked.

Ma He is a little hard to answer, this is the matter of the ministers, he can't say much, but the emperor asked and couldn't help but answer, it really made him embarrassed, looking at Li Shimin's calm expression, it seemed that he didn't care about it What is dissatisfied, pondered for a while and said: "Such a large amount of money is only used among merchants, and it is rare for ordinary people to use it."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said again: "If the money ticket is issued for a penny, can it still be used?"

Isn't this a knowing question? Ma He responded immediately: "That can be used."

Li Shimin just asked, can he not know the function of this banknote.

What he cares about is not replacing copper coins with banknotes, but the key to printing banknotes. Yuan Shan said that he will give an explanation, but he has not explained it yet, and he is a little anxious.

Yuan Shan on this matter was discussing with the people in the money bank about the money ticket issuing center, and he had already thought about it with the approval of the court.

9 Chapter Eighty

After Yuan Shan was free, he wrote all the recent situation of Qian Xing into a memorial. He didn't use notebooks for long talks, but directly chose to use A4 standard lined paper. The neat writing looks pleasing to the eye.

He couldn't do without entering the palace, Ma Hedu came to urge him several times, so he entered the palace with a thick stack of proposals.

At the entrance of the Royal Study Room, I saw Wu Meiniang serving at the door again. It seems that she has not been doing well recently, otherwise she must have been carried in the Royal Study Room. Why is she always serving at the door? In fact, Yuan Shan was wrong. In fact, the Royal Study Room I was discussing the affairs of the Ministry of War, so all the idlers were invited out, it was not that she was not favored.

"Wu Cairen, are you here? Your Majesty is inside." Yuan Shan asked.

"Your Majesty is discussing matters with the ministers of the Ministry of War inside. Lord Lan, please wait for a while." Wu Meiniang said.

"Okay." Yuan Shan saw that there was no one around. It seemed that it was not very good for the lonely men and widows to stand at the door of the imperial study like this.
