The Best Fake Eunuch

Because Xiao Chen paid the money, Liu Xiangqin and Xu Wenzhou decided to name this bank as Xiaoji Bank after discussion.

And openly publicized that Xiao Ji's Xiao is Xiao Chen's Xiao.

The boss Xiao Chen is close to a god in the eyes of the common people in Yanyun County, so it is really appropriate to use his reputation as a signboard.

This is called pulling a tiger's skin to make a big banner.

The banner was printed, and the ticket number was officially opened on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and all kinds of small denomination banknotes in the number were printed and started to be issued, but the expected embarrassment still inevitably happened.

The common people don't recognize this stuff!

Colorful and light, a thin piece of paper can be used as a lot of money and silver?

What about fooling the kids?

How can there be the heavy sense of security brought by copper coins and silver?

It is said that it can be exchanged freely, and the ticket number is still open day and night, but who knows when you will be yellow shop?

Do you know why there is no bank in Yanyun County now?

That is, no one believes, no one uses, and no credit.

Just ask, is it a compulsory transaction?

If not then we'll leave it at that...

Of course, it is impossible to force the common people and merchants to use this banknote.

But coercive means have to be used for a while.

After the Spring Festival, Liu Xiangqin and Xu Wenzhou persuaded Chen Jisheng and Liu Congshu that after the Spring Festival, the salaries of all officials in Changshan prefecture would be paid in banknotes.

When the order was given, all the officials of Changshan Prefecture, big and small, wailed.

Why do I rely on it!

Just because we do our best, fulfill our duties, work hard, do our best, and are as tired as our grandson, just bully us like this?

Yet the order is serious, and the execution is firm.

Liu Xiangqin spoke out.

Anyone who dares to disobey should let him come to find Miss Ben, and Miss Ben will definitely treat him to obedience.

Anyone who dares not to accept will be punished as disobedience!

If it is light, you will be fined, or if it is serious, you will be dismissed from office, and you will never be tolerated!

If you want to make a fuss, just make a fuss, girl, I'm just trying to find an early bird to make an example of.

Someone asked, after receiving the banknotes, can they just go to the ticket number and exchange them for cash?

Did Liu Xiangqin not think of things that everyone thought of?

These banknotes are all stamped with official seals, and cannot be exchanged within one year, they can only be circulated, and they can be exchanged for silver money after the Spring Festival next year.

So how did we spend this year?

That's your own business, who is to blame if you have money and can't spend it?

Is it okay to use our power to force those merchants to accept our banknotes?

Row.

It's just that it has to be punished as the crime of oppressing the people.

This sad day is impossible!

Because officials also have to eat and buy food, so they have to go to discuss with those merchants earnestly.

Present the facts and reason.

Tell them that the future trend of our Yanyun County will be Jiang Zi, no matter what kind of business, it will be settled with banknotes.

This is actually good for you. First of all, let’s talk about how convenient this banknote is to use. For example, this one-hundred-dollar bill is easier to carry than a hundred copper coins?

You said that you have to tie a hundred copper coins with a rope, and if the rope is broken, you have to search for the copper coins everywhere. It’s fine during the day, but what do you do at night? Lost ten or eight and don't feel distressed?

Besides, how sure are you of your personal collection, how can a thief steal it? It's like you're heavy and heavy with a hundred copper coins, and you're walking around like a fool...

Besides, the small bills are more useful. There are ten taels, five taels, two taels, one taels, and five taels, which are especially convenient for you merchants who do business.

First of all, you don't have to worry about silver being doped with copper and lead, right? Don't worry about its fineness, and you don't even need to use any scissors and clippers when trading!

It’s okay if you still don’t want to use it if you say a thousand words and ten thousand. You take this and go to our Xiaoji bank to exchange it for silver and copper coins?

We can't change it, but you can, it's just a little more trouble to walk a few steps, and you have to draw your bet on the exchanged ticket. This is not to prevent you, but to prevent us from finding someone to exchange in private. This is a serious transaction, and we have no ghosts in our hearts, so there is nothing to worry about...

Merchants can't stand these people's rhetoric. Besides, many of them are parents and officials. They put down their dignity to talk and negotiate with us. You have to give them a little face whether you are high or low.

Anyway, the amount is very small, even if the loss is not big, so let's take it first, and if we can't exchange it later, let's talk about it.

Of course it can be exchanged, because Liu Xiangqin has long expected that there will be such a trend of rushing for exchange, so he is already prepared.

Not only did they prepare enough cash and copper coins, but they also thoughtfully set up a tax office in the ticket hall. You can queue up to exchange silver, or use these banknotes to pay taxes directly.

And issued a notice that in the future, all transactions involving money between officials, including the payment of various commercial taxes, customs duties, land rent, etc., must be settled in banknotes.

Why? Just because there are more and more businesses in Changshan Prefecture now, and the manpower of each yamen is seriously insufficient, saying that it is too troublesome to check the quality of silver and count copper coins, and we are simply too busy. A lot of tolerance and understanding.

What if there are no banknotes? You can exchange it with silver...

At the beginning, as long as the merchants received the banknotes, they would go to the ticket office to exchange them on the same day. Only when they were exchanged for silver and copper coins did they feel at ease.

But every time I can successfully exchange successfully, I gradually become a little lazy. I feel that it is too much trouble to waste time and shoe soles for dozens of big money.

It's better to save more before going. Besides, it doesn't matter if you keep some in your hand, and you can still use it when paying taxes in the future.

In addition, this kind of banknotes is extremely beautifully printed, with a large Xiao character logo and amount on the front, and various landscape paintings on the back.

For example, the ten copper coins with the smallest denomination are printed with Yanyun Mountain, the symbol of Yanyun County; It is the landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ten taels of silver is the scenery in the middle of Sichuan...

It is said that this was drawn by Ye Baiqing, a great talent in the Imperial Academy, and engraved by the great craftsman Gongsunban. As for the correct regular script on it, it was written by Mr. Chen Jisheng himself.

Therefore, although it is a printed matter, it also has a certain collection value. Someone collected a set, framed it, and hung it in a conspicuous place in the store, but it also attracted many tourists from other places to stop and watch.

This kind of banknote also has a magical feature, that is, the numbers on it are printed with special materials, and they can be seen clearly at night. It is said that this is called luminous anti-counterfeiting technology, but it is unheard of.

Can you guess whose idea this is?

As a modern person, Xiao Chen is well aware of the importance of anti-counterfeiting, so he would rather increase the production cost of banknotes, and must put an end to the harm of counterfeit money.
