Chapter 222 The new currency is money
When they got home, the third sister and Bai Yinghao came.
The third sister is a hot-tempered person and has seen the princess.
Zhao Xiaobing introduced Yingying to them.
His girl stepped forward and hugged Yingying, saying that she had known such a good sister-in-law of a heroine, and now she finally met.
The two sisters-in-law suddenly had a hot fight.
Bai Yinghao proposed to have dinner at Qintai Road. He said ok, and asked to get on the carriage. Several people squeezed into the carriage and set off and soon arrived at Qintai Road.
Yinghao took him to a Yashu, and the third sister led the princess and Yingying to the next room.
Bai Yinghao led Zhao Xiaobing into the box on the left, where four people had already sat in it. After Brother Bai introduced it, he found out that it was the wealthy businessmen in Chengdu, the Wang family, the Xie family and the Qin family.
Zhao Xiaobing was welcome and sat down to have a drink.
Mr. Xie said that hearing is better than seeing at first sight. Everyone said that Brother Zhao was easy-going to others, but it was true.
Mr. Qin said that some people say that Brother Zhao is careless about human life and kills him at any time. Now that he sees a real person, he doesn’t have any murderous aura. He is a fully learned man.
Haha, Zhao Xiaobing was thinking, maybe Mr. Qin didn't know how to praise him. He laughed after hearing this, but didn't explain, and raised his glass to invite him to drink.
Bai Yinghao said that my brother only killed bad people, not good people, and the same is true for the Northern Barbarians.
Zhao Xiaobing raised his wine glass and touched it one by one, shouting to eat wine and eat wine.
Although these people are doing big business, they all think they are awesome. He believes that the Bai family is even more awesome than them.
The Jianwei Chamber of Commerce he taught Bai Yinghao alone was quite powerful. Not only did he organize Jianwei's merchants, but many merchants from Jiading, Yibin, Luzhou and Chongqing were all in.
As the few people talked about the silence, Qian Yin was on them. Everyone thought the court was too unreliable. The paper currency was deprecated again and again, and they were almost used to wipe their butts.
Zhao Xiaobing said that Mongolia is also issuing paper money.
Several young men started to laugh at each other.
Mr. Zhang said that the government would steal money. The Mongolian oxen coins were only half a year after they were released, and they had depreciated by more than 20%. The common people didn’t feel anything yet.
Zhao Xiaobing sounded a little unnatural. He planned to make Mongolian counterfeit coins to dilute their real coins, but they were all of them with large denominations.
Ogedei's bull coins depreciated by 20%, and at least 10% of them were the credit of him and Chen Zhenshan.
He thought for a while and said, "There is a way for everyone to use it with confidence." Several people looked at him at the same time.
What good idea can be found? If you don’t have heavy coins and silver, you can do business easily, and of course you will be very eager for business.
These merchants are now doing business, and there are several strong men behind them carrying a whole bag of coins on their shoulders and following them, and they are also worried about robbers robbing.
Zhao Xiaobing took a sip of wine and continued: "The new imperial court re-made banknotes and issued them, and the new coins are coins."
After hearing this, the brothers were stunned at first, and then smiled disdainfully.
Zhao Xiaobing explained: "The new paper currency is crafted and circulated as a currency in the New Song Dynasty. It is circulated at any time and at will with silver coins in the New Song Dynasty. The government set up exchange offices in various prefectures and counties, promising the people that they can exchange silver coins one to one in exchange offices in the prefectures and counties anytime and anywhere. Of course, a few border counties are afraid that they will not be able to achieve it."
After everyone heard this, the young masters, including Bai Yinghao, were all surprised.
What Zhao Xiaobing thought of was the banknotes issued in later generations, which were two different concepts from the tickets they had.
Paper money in later generations, whether it is paper, printing, or anti-counterfeiting design, were something they could never dream of.
He said that the new coins will be printed with the best paper and the most advanced machines in multiple processes, and special steel stamps must be stamped in the government to prevent counterfeiting.
I guarantee that everyone likes it when they see it, and even has the urge to collect it. It is completely different from the current seals that are covered with ordinary bills, like Jiaozi and Huizi.
Mr. Zhang said that if this is true, it will definitely work. The key is that the government can really do it, and it can be done?
Zhao Xiaobing said, "I said I could do it if I could, and I would definitely do it."
He further explained: First of all, the officials will receive paper money in the future. All transactions such as salt, iron, tea, etc. controlled by the government will receive paper money in the same way, and the government will also pay paper money for purchases from merchants. Gradually, the people became accustomed to using paper money.
Everyone on the table began to discuss it.
After eating two bites of food, Zhao Xiaobing said that the government would set up a bank in the future, which simply means establishing a nationwide unified bank.
In the future, only paper money will be circulated on the market. This paper money is absolutely exquisite and has never been seen and cannot be copied.
Everyone at the table was stunned by his words and remained silent for a while.
After a little rest, the prince slapped the table and said, "Can the government do it? If so, I'm the first to exchange it. I'm afraid that someone will interfere and it won't work."
Bai Yinghao said: "My brother is a strange man. Since my second brother said so, he will definitely be able to do it."
Zhao Xiaobing smiled and said that the heroes were over-reputable. There is nothing difficult in the world, and as long as you make up your mind to do it, you will definitely succeed. There is no rush to do this. Chengdu will implement changes next year to make them wait for good news.
Bai Yinghao said that he would hold a jade exhibition tomorrow and invite his second brother to enjoy the scenery.
He said he would not go, so he asked the princess and Yingying's sister-in-law to attend. Everyone drank until they were slightly drunk and went back to the table.
When Zhao Xiaobing returned home, he went into the study and sorted out the concept of future banking. He made up his mind to issue Xinsong currency.
However, this bank is not another bank, so you must first use silver coins as a guarantee and exchange the banknotes for completion.
The next day, he invited Wang Ling, Wei Zhong and Chen Zhenshan to discuss the establishment of the Xinsong National Bank and the issuance of new paper currency.
After hearing him, Wang Ling was a little worried, afraid that the people would not agree with the banknotes, and afraid that the banknotes would be too easy to make, and counterfeit coins would fly all over the sky in the future.
Zhao Xiaobing smiled and said that he hadn't done it yet, why did he have so many problems? Let's do it first.
Because Chen Zhenshan had experience in combating Mongolian paper money, he was very confident in issuing paper money. He said it was okay, so he followed Brother's instructions and decided that it was nothing wrong.
Everyone agreed that the Ministry of Revenue will study the construction of bank outlets, the Military Information Department will study the crackdown on counterfeit banknotes, and the Luocheng Research Institute will set up a banknote branch to study and manufacture new high-proof counterfeiting banknotes.
He also specifically reminded Chen Zhenshan to let Yishan join in and lead Luo Cheng Paper Currency Research Institute to trial-made paper currency, asking him to send three words to Yishan "three sets of coins".
He hopes that Yishan will refer to the third set of RMB design and make new Song coins in later generations.
After the discussion was settled, he sent someone out, but saw two women, Princess and Yingying, holding hands and smiling.
Yingying came over with a smile and shook her arms in front of him, asking him to see her beautiful bracelet, saying that it was given by her third sister, and saying that the princess got the Jade Buddha. Zhao Xiaobing was happy. It was all her own when she left hand to right hand.
