The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 257 Abandoning the Five Baht Coins and Establishing Huaxia Coins

On that day, after the court meeting.

Liu Xie returned to the deep palace again, but Jingzhou officials were very busy. Countless Jingzhou knights rushed out of the city and rushed to the surrounding counties.

All of a sudden, countless imperial edicts were conveyed rapidly across Jingzhou, and horses galloped across the country, and then officials from all over the place conveyed them as quickly as possible.

The next day, early in the morning.

The officials of all counties and counties in Jingzhou sent people to issue an edict. At the bulletin boards in various places, after the knights rushed over, countless people who had completed the autumn harvest and breathed a sigh of relief gathered around.

Next to the notice board, because most of the people are illiterate, there are scribes reading it there.

"Abolish the five baht coin?"

"Why do you want to abolish the five baht coin?"

"The abolition of the five baht coin for no reason will definitely make things sell at different prices in the market, and it will be our common people who will suffer."

"That's right, when Dong Zhuo was in power, he launched Xiaoqian. Although he enjoyed a blessing, he made the people of the world suffer along with him. His intentions were sinister."

For a while, the men, women and children who used five baht coins for most of their lives couldn't accept it, and they talked about it and were somewhat conflicted. After all, they were the common people who suffered from the previous promotion of new coins.

Especially before Dong Zhuo promoted small money, which directly harmed countless people in Luoyang, making countless people unable to afford food, so that countless people starved to death.

Hearing the voices of condemnation around him, a young man dressed as a literati raised his arms high and said solemnly: "Everyone, it was Prime Minister Zhang who abolished the five baht coin."

"And Prime Minister Zhang is dedicated to serving the people. He not only reduced countless exorbitant taxes, but also suppressed local officials and aristocratic families who did evil. His sincerity in doing things for the people is obvious to all."

"Although Prime Minister Zhang did not explain why the five baht coin should be abolished and new coins should be used, shouldn't we, as the people under his rule, give our best help at this juncture?"

As the words came out, the originally noisy voice became silent.

This silence lasted for quite a while, at this time a middle-aged man was holding a little girl by the hand, and said in that hoarse voice: "That's right."

"Prime Minister Zhang is dedicated to serving the people. Without Prime Minister Zhang, Lingling and I would have starved to death in the wilderness long ago, and the countless people in Jingzhou are like this."

Speaking of this, the strong man's tiger eyes turned red, and he shouted forcefully: "Everyone, the prime minister is looking for ideas for us. If we don't even believe him, who in the world will believe him?"

"What's more, my life was saved by him, even if he deceived me, then I would be willing."

After the two finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Zhang Xiu devoted himself to finding ideas for them, finding ways to reduce their taxes, and finding ways to improve their job benefits, and even building bridges and roads to not only provide wages but also lunch.

Not to mention these, originally Jingzhou was also impacted by the troubled times of the world, and countless people suffered unspeakably, but since Zhang Xiu came, he first attacked the thieves, wiped out the powerful, and settled the family.

All of this was won by Zhang Xiu for them, but they kept questioning it.

"That's right, we can't control other places, but the eight counties of Jingzhou are the land of prime minister Zhang's blessing. If we are also indifferent, won't the prime minister feel chilled?"

"If the prime minister wants to change, it's for our own good."

"The prime minister is kind to us and recreates it. It's just money and things outside of the body, so what's the point of throwing away?"

For a moment, the crowd was excited, everyone said something to each other, and everyone blushed, perhaps because their suspicion just now made them even more ashamed.

Now they have only one thought,
Advance and retreat with Zhang Xiu, live and die together.

"Folks, the currency will be changed after three days. Let's go home and collect the money first. We will never let the Prime Minister feel cold." An old man shouted.

And such scenes are spread all over Jingzhou.

Among them, in Nanyang County and Xinye, after seeing that it was Zhang Xiu who wrote a letter to change the currency, the people hardly hesitated and organized the currency exchange spontaneously.

Because the people in Xinye flocked to Zhangxiu the most.

Prime Minister's Mansion,
Zhang Xiu looked at the documents submitted from all over the world, and he was somewhat relieved, because the people still supported him, and naturally he was unwilling to change currency, and it was very rare for someone to support him.

This sense of relief is enough to offset all fatigue.

I just feel that all this is worth it, at least someone will advance and retreat with him.

"My lord, the new coins have been shipped to various places in Jingzhou, and the currency replacement should be carried out normally in three days, but this time the currency replacement is bound to cause fluctuations in the market, and the change in the value of the coins may make people uncomfortable."

Chen Qun frowned and said.

He has seen new coins, which are divided into three types, all of which are made of copper.

The first type is a small coin with a hole, equivalent to the previous five baht coin, with a diameter of about one inch and a weight of about 2.4 grams according to the measurement of later generations. The hole is a square hole,

Lianxing Tongbao is printed on the front, engraved in simplified characters for later generations, and a text is printed on the back, representing its value.

The copper coin has corners and an arc, which is very similar to the circle of one yuan in later generations, but if you look closely, you can see that there are several letters engraved on this circle.

JXTB
Whether it is the font, the corners, or the letters, they are all printed on the blacksmith camp's stencil rubbing. These points are at least decades ahead, and it is difficult to imitate.

The second type is non-porous small money with a slightly larger diameter. The first type has the same printed font, corners, and letters, but the reverse side is in Erwen, which also represents value.

The third type is big money without holes, the diameter is much larger than the first type, and the printed characters have the same corners, but the reverse side is Wu Wen.

Most of the currencies circulating in the market are five baht coins, and some small coins minted by Dong Zhuo. After this replacement, Zhang Xiu will regulate the market according to the exchange rate of the common people.

The whole process is cumbersome and involves finance.

But one thing is very important, he must control the amount of distribution, or control the purchase price, only money is valuable, that is a good thing, otherwise the people will still suffer.

"Don't worry, although the market will fluctuate for a while, it's far better than being disturbed by other princes." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu pondered for a while, but he didn't express his opinion. Originally, according to his understanding, he would not promote the new coins for the time being, but he had a vague feeling that Zhang Xiu's understanding was far better than his.

Therefore, he did not stop the promotion of SGD this time.

He even looked forward to it, feeling that the big man would definitely flourish in the hands of Zhang Xiu.

"My lord, the old coin weighs about five baht, so it's called five baht. Since we launched the new coin, we naturally can't use the previous name. And our new coin weighs about seven baht, why not call it seven baht?"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Xiu.

"Ah!" Zhang Xiu was very speechless, "Seven baht money is not enough to reflect what I think in my heart. My Han origin is from the Xia clan, why not call it Huaxia money!"

"I believe that in the near future, Huaxia money will become the currency of the world, and it will be traded by recognizing Huaxia currency. And the big man will be the master of the world and the supreme of the human race."

Although Zhang Xiu's voice was not loud, it was full of ambition and solemnity.
