After eating breakfast, Li Chao took out his wallet, took out a hundred-dollar treasure bill from a wallet made of cowhide and put it on the table.
Two bowls of rice noodles for the two of them were only 12 yuan, but Li Chao directly gave 100 yuan.
The woman wiped her hands in her apron a few times, took the money and looked at it a few times.
In fact, treasure banknotes have been circulated in Lingnan, and Qinzhou Port is even more widely circulated.
Because the treasure money is easy to carry, the merchants love to use the treasure banknote.
In particular, the treasure banknotes of Li Ji Qian Zhuang are even better than the gold coupons of the imperial court, this kind of colorful paper banknotes, with extremely high anti-counterfeiting technology, you can know the authenticity at a glance, and ordinary people can't imitate it.
The little girl came with a bamboo tube and a copper coin in it.
Li Chao smiled and said, "Don't look for it, your rice noodles do taste good, and more is a reward for you." ” The woman had heard that King Yue was kind and approachable, generous and bold.
But after all, it was the first time to receive King Yue, and after hearing the words, he excused himself a few times, and finally bowed down and thanked him.
Cheng Qian saw that the woman happily put the treasure money in her arms, and said with some surprise, "How can they be willing to accept the paper money?"
"The most important thing about money is credit, and as long as there is credit, it can be circulated.
As long as there is credit to circulate, then whether it is money, copper coins, or paper money, there is no difference in essence. ” Li Chao explained to Cheng Qian that the reason why Datang can circulate treasure money lies in credit.
The treasure banknotes issued by Li Ji can be purchased by the people, and they can also be exchanged for copper coins at any time, and they can also be used to pay taxes to the imperial court.
Since it can be used unimpeded, then of course the people are willing to use the treasure banknote, after all, the treasure money is easy to carry, even if it is convenient to make change.
The people of Lingnan are the same.
The vendors of the Qinzhou breakfast stalls, they sell breakfast, and the customers pay their bills with copper coins after eating, and some pay with banknotes.
There is even a greater proportion of money paid, and the vendors collect the money, whether it is used to pay the government for stall fees, sanitation fees, taxes, or even to buy large grains and beef.
A good credit system makes today's paper money money.
In this case, the branch of Qinzhou Li Ji Qian Zhuang absorbs a large number of gold, silver and copper coins every day, and these original metal currencies continue to flow in, and then they are exchanged for paper money.
The gold, silver, copper, and precious metals that Li Kee received would be melted down and decomposed, and then sent to Li Kee's mint to be minted into gold, silver, and copper coins.
On the other hand, the circulation of banknotes in Lingnan has also greatly enhanced the prosperity of Lingnan's commerce and trade.
The circulation of paper money represents a sufficient amount of money, which greatly facilitates commercial transactions, especially the light and easy carrying of paper money, which is more convenient for transactions.
"Everyone in the world uses paper as money to trade, and it's amazing to think about."
Undertaking the main road.
Li Chao got up with a smile and walked along the street with Cheng Qian.
"Don't underestimate this paper, paper can become money, it is supported by a sufficient credit system, and this credit is a sufficient storage preparation for metal currency."
"Teacher, when I was in Beijing, I heard that the circulation of paper money has made commerce prosperous a lot, and even the tax revenue of the imperial court has greatly increased.
In addition, it is said that the use of paper money has also greatly reduced the circulation of counterfeit money. ” "Paper money circulated in large quantities, and metal coins were stored in large quantities in the banks and treasury of the money bank and the imperial court, reducing circulation.
The average person has become more accepting of paper money than coins, so the risk of counterfeiting money is still high, but the benefits are reduced, so there are fewer people who make counterfeit money. ” In the past, when copper coins were used, there were still a lot of counterfeit copper coins, and a little change in the ratio of copper, lead and tin could make a lot of profits.
After all, the color of copper coins is almost good, but it is generally not so easy to see.
But paper money is not good, although the paper money itself is worthless is a piece of paper, but the printing technology is very advanced, very can be imitated.
In other words, except for Li Kee who has engraving money plates and printing technology, others do not have this technology at all.
On the other hand, it is difficult to mint fake money now, and the current gold, silver and copper coins are more difficult to cast than the previous hole square coins, with no holes in the middle, relief carvings on both sides, and tooth patterns around the periphery, which is extremely difficult to imitate.
Ordinary people can't cast it, this is not the previous hole money, basically there are no technical limitations.
"However, there are still criminals who use counterfeit money to fake money, but the fake money they use is amazing, and some of them dare to use a piece of paper to write and draw by themselves.
Most of these fools were arrested as soon as they made a move, but some people actually received such fake money, which is also amazing. ” The imperial court cracked down on counterfeit banknotes and counterfeit money very severely, and once they were discovered, they were all severely punished, at least 20 years or more of labor reform.
Even if you use counterfeit money and money, you will be punished heavily.
For this problem, the imperial court will not tolerate and lenient, Li Ji Qianzhuang even has a special anti-counterfeiting team, tracking down these people everywhere, once found, immediately notify the imperial court.
"Prince, let me test you, do you think that the circulation of paper money in Lingnan is not only convenient, but also has any deep meaning?"
"Deep meaning" Cheng Qian's accident.
"Teacher, does this have another meaning?"
Li Chao smiled and shook his head, of course there was a deep meaning.
For a country or a region, currency is an extremely important part of its economic system.
To put it mildly, even if Lingnan only circulated the metal coins of the imperial court, it would be equivalent to them being levied a very heavy seigniorage.
Just like the copper coins minted by the imperial court today, they are actually not pure copper, and they contain only ninety percent copper.

The same is true for gold and silver coins, ninety percent purity, which means that the minting profit is very high, and the coins are issued in Lingnan, which is equivalent to a seigniorage tax.
And now the banknotes issued by Li Ji and the imperial court are in circulation, which is even more incredible.
The merchants and common people of Lingnan all held paper money in their hands, and a large amount of gold, silver and copper flowed into the hands of Li Ji and the imperial court, which actually meant that the entire economy of Lingnan was kidnapped by the imperial court.
The imperial court had a myriad of means to bring down Lingnan's economy.
"It's so powerful" "Of course, people's livelihood and economy, this is very important."
"It feels so complicated."
"Actually, it's not complicated, as long as you learn to understand the system, then you will feel that everything is very clear and understandable."
As soon as he returned to Midtown, Feng Ang came to pay a visit.
Now Feng An, the history of Gaozhou, has been stranded in Qinzhou.
Feng Ang and his uncle and his three sons, these were originally important figures in the history of the Feng family in various states, except for one Feng Zhidai who entered the capital, and one Feng Xuan was also sent to the capital, and the rest were here.
Li Chao appointed Feng Ang as the assassin of Gaozhou, but he had no intention of letting him go back at all.
In the name of asking Feng Ang to assist him, he has been letting them stay.
Feng Ang also asked to return to Gaozhou several times, but Li Chao just refused.
The crown prince Chengqian inspected Lingnan on behalf of the Son of Heaven and brought another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now these 10,000 soldiers have begun to enter Qinluo and other prefectures.
Even Gaozhou was garrisoned by Li Chao with three military offices of 3,000 people.
This is simply a sharp sword, which suddenly pierced the Feng family's heart.
Feng Ang couldn't hold back any longer, if it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the Feng family would completely lose control of Gaozhou.
In fact, Li Chao really didn't plan to let Feng Ang be the assassin of Gaozhou again.
Li Chao's strategy was very simple, first merge the neighboring states of Gao, Chun and other states that were originally controlled by the Feng family into one, and then reduce the remaining states to counties and withdraw a few provinces.
Then in the second step, Li Chao kept Feng Ang by his side and did not let him go back.
Up to now, Li Chao has set up three military offices in Gaozhou and stationed 3,000 imperial court soldiers to garrison them.
In the next step, Li Chao will appoint several county commanders in Gaozhou.
After the previous county merger in Gaozhou, the county orders were all school inspection positions, that is, temporary agents.
Now Li Chao wants to appoint a formal county order, but it is not a person from the original Feng family, but an official brought by Cheng Qian.
The history of Gaozhou is still Feng An, but Feng Ang will not be able to return if he stays in Qinzhou, and the county orders below will be replaced by officials sent by the imperial court.
Another 3,000 soldiers were stationed in key places in Gaozhou, step by step, to seize the control of Feng Xian's two families in Gaozhou.
In the next step, Li Chao will also transfer the families of the soldiers to immigrate, recruit the slang fangs to naturalize, etc., and gradually divide and reduce Feng Xian's influence.
Feng An, who was sitting in the front hall waiting to be summoned, was in pain.
Recently, he was worried that he couldn't eat well and sleep well, and his hair was much grayer.
Seeing that Li Chao had pushed the Feng family into a desperate situation step by step, he was powerless to fight back.
He originally thought that Li Chao's appetite would not be so big.
He thought that after Li Chao seized the states of Qinheluo, he would be satisfied.
Obviously, Li Chao's appetite is far more than that.
The two Guangzhou counties were cut and merged, and Li Chao's killing moves were one after another.
Early this morning, he learned that Li Chao was going to set up three military offices in Gaozhou, and sent 3,000 military commanders to Gaozhou, and even moved their families here.
In the front hall, Feng Ang sat for a long time, but except for someone who brought a cup of tea when he first came in, no one came over in the back.
After drinking a cup of tea, no one continued.
Thinking that he was known as the king of Nanyue, but now he is in this situation, I can't help but feel sad in my heart.
I sat for another half an hour before a man finally came out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Gao Thorn Shi, please come with me."
Feng Ang got up and followed the man.
The crown prince summoned Feng Ang in the courtyard.
Feng Ang bowed and was just about to speak, but Li Chao next to him spoke first.
"Geng Guogong, just now I talked to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Geng Guogong's merits, and I was amazed by Geng Guogong.
Geng Guogong has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is also prestigious in Lingnan.

Especially during this period, Geng Guogong contributed a lot to the construction of Qinzhou Port.
Originally, I was concurrently serving as the Assassin of Qinzhou, but I am not suitable for this position for a long time, so I just recommended to His Highness that Geng Guogong take over the post of Assassin of Qinzhou, and His Highness has agreed to it just now. ” Feng Ang was stunned on the spot.
He took over as Qinzhou Thorn Shi Na Gaozhou "His Royal Highness Xie is very kind, and the minister recommended to the prince the candidate to succeed the Gaozhou assassin, and the minister's uncle took over."
Li Chao smiled, "Geng Guogong, the candidate for the Gaozhou Thorn History has been agreed, and it will be replaced by Chen Longshu, the Takizhou Thorn History." ” Chen Longshu took over as the assassin of Gaozhou, and Feng Anru was struck by lightning.
Chen Longshu, the Feng family's mortal enemy, Chen Longshu's father was killed by him with his own hands.
"Your Highness," Feng Ang looked up at the crown prince Chengqian.
But the crown prince said, "Geng Guogong, this matter has been agreed and cannot be changed." ” t1706231537:
