Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Soon, He Yuzhu learned about the “bigger” thing from colleagues in other groups.

From that time on, the currency exchange was officially carried out.

However, gold yuan notes, silver yuan notes, dollars, even small yellow croakers and large yellow croakers, as well as silver ingots were all in circulation in the market at that time, but the circulation quantities were different.

Small yellow croaker, large yellow croaker, ocean dollars, and silver ingots are easy to deal with, after all, they are precious metals.

Moreover, the Cao Zi Tou had already harvested several crops of leeks in the past few years. In addition, the Cao Zi Tou had issued an order at that time that hoarding precious metals was an illegal act.

As a result, there are not many of these precious metals in the hands of ordinary people on the market.

Currency exchange can also be carried out smoothly.

However, the gold yuan and silver yuan certificates were a bit troublesome.

Especially the silver dollar notes.

The gold yuan coupons are easy to deal with.

No matter whether it is the denomination of one dollar, a few dollars or tens of dollars in the early stage, or the denomination of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in the later stage, treat them uniformly and set the ratio.

But what about the silver dollar notes?

Please note that this silver dollar certificate is not the silver dollar exchange certificate issued by Caotouzi and others in the south later.

If we really want to be picky, this silver yuan certificate should be called silver dollar certificate.

Everyone knows that according to the common people, the big head of a month-old baby and the current ocean in the late Qing Dynasty are all collectively called oceans.

But according to the formal name, they should be called silver dollars.

In the last few years of Cao Cao's rule, a regulation was issued prohibiting the holding of precious metals.

However, the price of the gold yuan changed every day at that time.

What about the common people?

They were accustomed to exchanging the gold yuan coupons they earned every day for silver dollars, and then exchanging silver dollars for gold yuan coupons when they wanted to buy something.

At this time, smart businessmen came up with a solution, which was for several businesses to jointly issue an "exchange voucher".

Hey, can’t you exchange it for dollars to preserve its value?

The same applies if you deposit it with us and redeem the “voucher”.

Because you can deposit gold yuan coupons into our company at today's price.

When you want to buy something, several of our affiliated businesses will sell it to you at the price on the day you deposited, and the amount will be deducted from the "exchange voucher" we issued in your hand.

To put it simply, it is the same as the current prepayment of membership cards.

But that's why.

"Exchange coupons" were once very popular at that time.

Over time, this type of exchange voucher became known as the silver dollar voucher among the common people.

But in the final analysis, this kind of silver dollar certificate is nothing more than a general membership card and discount coupon issued by several merchants jointly.

It's not formal at all.

There is no other solution now.

Later, I just cut it off with one stroke.

Silver Yuan Notes cannot be exchanged.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long after the silver dollar notes appeared that some merchants ran away with the money, causing the silver dollar notes to be popular for a short time before dying out.

Ordinary people didn't have many silver yuan notes.

Otherwise, if we cut it off now, the trouble will get even bigger.

But even so, it still doesn't stop.

This is mainly due to the exchange policy of the gold yuan.

At that time, after the bank entered Beijing, it began to issue announcements, requiring the exchange of gold yuan coupons within a certain period of time. After the expiration date, their use was prohibited and they were replaced by people's coupons.

This People's Note is the first edition of the legendary first edition of the first edition of the Renminbi, the Beijing edition (Note 1).

At that time, the exchange rate for People's Coupons to Gold Yuan Coupons was 1 to 10.

However, a policy was introduced at that time for the people who exchanged their people's coupons.

All workers, farmers, self-employed workers and young students enjoy a preferential policy of 1 to 3 yuan. (Note 2)

Now, those who want to exchange money have started looking for these people to help them do so.

If no one at home enjoys preferential treatment, look for it from the neighbors.

I couldn't find it from the neighbors, and there was really no other way, so I tried to find a way to dig a hole in the curved door.

Anyway, the profession of dentistry has never disappeared from ancient times to the present.

This meant that He Yuzhu and his colleagues who went to participate in the exchange not only had to help with the exchange, but also had to crack down on speculation.

It's conceivable that they are several levels more tired than He Yuzhu and others who sell grain or coal.

But it hasn't been two days yet.

He Yuzhu and others also enjoyed this treatment.

I don’t know where this news came from, but these “temporary workers” also enjoy preferential policies.

Well, it's over now.

Every day, a bunch of neighbors, relatives, etc. would appear out of nowhere.

Help with the exchange every three sentences.

This is really annoying for people like He Yuzhu.

However, He Yuzhu is fine.

Because of this yard of his family, those who still live here and have workers at home can enjoy preferential policies.

There are only two that don't.

One is the old lady in the backyard, but she basically never asks for help from others, or for Yi Zhonghai to help, anyway, she never comes to find him.

There is another one, which is He Yuzhu’s own home.

However, although He Yuzhu's family has no workers.

However, He Yuzhu's father He Daqing can be considered a craftsman and is also within the scope of this benefit.

Originally, He Yuzhu had a good plan, considering he was tired from selling grain recently, and he also wanted to prevent anyone from finding him to buy grain or exchange it.

During this period, He Yuzhu could be said to go out early and come back late, and he went home like a thief every day.

I also forgot about talking to He Daqing about exchanging currency.

Until a week passed.

When Master Sun came to their temporary office to inform them that they also enjoyed the exchange policy, He Yuzhu remembered to tell He Daqing about this.

When asked, He Yuzhu was stunned.

Because He Daqing didn't go to change it at all.

Because he didn't want to be called a "craftsman", this was his stubbornness as a craftsman, so he had been waiting for He Yuzhu to take a break, hoping that He Yuzhu, the beneficiary of the preferential treatment, would take his place.

Now, He Yuzhu really didn’t know what to say.

It's just a question of name.

Just like himself, he was called a fool, what did he say?

However, there is no other way. We have to change it. The gold yuan coupons will be invalidated in the future.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the exchange stops.

He Yuzhu then moved like a hamster, changing places every day.

Fortunately, their family didn't have much cash, only food and other daily necessities.

However, even with this little cash, He Yuzhu had to go to the bank every day at noon for a week.

Gradually, spring arrived.

He Yushui's birthday is over.

He Yuzhu's birthday is coming soon.

Those colleagues who went to support the coal sales have finished their work and returned to the office.

The grain sales on He Yuzhu's side have also stabilized, and in a few days, those who came here to support can also finish their work and return to the office.

Even the exchange rate is said to be stabilizing soon.

In this way, when He Yuzhu and a dozen other temporary workers returned to the office, it was already the end of March.

"Clap clap."

Master Sun, who came over from the office, saw that everyone was gathered and clapped his hands twice, in an attempt to cheer up He Yuzhu and his group who were almost exhausted and listless.

To be honest, if you are just selling things normally, or even exchanging money at a bank, it’s really not tiring.

Otherwise, in a few years, the saying that the head of the eight major employees is a salesperson will not be able to spread.

But, in the past month or almost two months, have He Yuzhu and the others been selling things?

They were competing with all kinds of people in a battle of wits and courage.

Just like He Yuzhu and others who sell grain.

Do you think only ordinary people go to buy food?

You are wrong. Many of them are people from major grain traders who come here to stock up on grain.

Remember, there are people who make money from national disasters in every era.

These people will find people who can't afford to buy food to help them queue up.

Aren’t you unable to afford food, or haven’t bought enough of the restricted food?

Okay, I'll give you money, you help me buy it, and then I'll give you some food as a reward.

Food, that’s food.

Just by queuing up, you can get food. Those who can't afford food will jump up to buy it, right?

Not to mention the major grain traders.

For example, if you have spare money at home, who wouldn’t want to store more food?

This group, that group, and some just to join in the fun.

He Yuzhu has to follow his colleagues to identify these people every day.

Those people in Nanluoguxiang are fine.

At least He Yuzhu has the memory and can easily distinguish them.

But the place to sell grain is not just Nanluoguxiang.

The nearby Wannian Hutong, Yandaixie Street and Gulou West Street are also close to here.

Not to mention Shichahai and Prince Gong's Mansion on the left and right.

And, that's not all.

He Yuzhu and other people who went out to provide support had to return to the office every night to compile a list of suspicious people they met during the day.

Then the next morning, go to the office again to take a look at the wanted list.

Who made them subordinate to the Public Security Committee?

Safety is their first priority.

Master Sun saw that although everyone had responded, they were still a little listless, so he gave them a drastic measure.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are two days off, so you don't have to report to work."

Otherwise, how can it be called a strong medicine?

"Cheer" for a while.

The office was in an uproar, with people saying all kinds of things.

"Crack, snap, snap."

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits this time, Master Sun clapped his hands happily, attracting everyone's attention.

The office also became quiet.

"Everyone, you have all worked hard over the past period of time. For the next two days, that is, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can rest and don't need to come to work. On the day after tomorrow, the fourth day of the New Year, which is April 1st in the Western calendar, you can come to work as usual."

After Master Sun repeated it, he glanced at his watch.

"Okay, everyone. If you want to stay here for lunch, you can go home and rest after lunch. If you don't want to eat, you can go home now. As for me, I won't disturb you all anymore. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Master Sun glanced at He Yuzhu, then turned and left the office.

"coax"

With the departure of Master Sun, the office could no longer contain itself.

Some people were packing up their things, preparing to go eat first, and then start flirting directly.

Some also plan to go to the cafeteria to get their meals and then go home to eat.

Others just don't care about anything and just flirt.

But He Yuzhu is different, he has to go to Master Sun’s office first.
