Looking at the exchange rate,
Ye Qingqiu did some math in his mind.
According to this exchange rate, the price of the product is simply to exchange the original copper coins for the current new coins.
One to one exchange.
It seems,
As long as the new currency can be traded normally, there should be no problems in the short term.
But Ye Qingqiu knew it in his heart.
This so-called new currency is just a piece of paper.
The imperial court could build as many as they wanted.
There is not much cost at all.
on the contrary,
Once too much of this new currency is created, prices will inevitably depreciate.
In the end, it is the people who suffer.
But according to the current situation, it would be impossible not to exchange it.
The court mandated that transactions must use this new currency.
Taking out five silver notes, Ye Qingqiu put them on the counter: "Please exchange them for five hundred taels of new coins for me."
After all, she is also the daughter of a former prime minister, and the Ye family can be considered a wealthy family.
This little money is naturally nothing to Ye Qingqiu.
However, on the other side,
The woman who heard the numbers froze on the spot.
After she came to her senses, she hurriedly said: "Girl, please wait a moment, I'll call our steward."
Within the territory of Qi State,
An average farmer's annual harvest is about ten taels of silver.
If you work as a waiter in a hotel in the city, your monthly salary will be about one to one to two or five yuan.
So among the people who came to exchange,
Basically, copper coins are used, even if it is silver, it is only a few taels.
Someone like Ye Qingqiu, who could directly exchange five hundred taels of silver at his request, was naturally a big customer of the bank.
Soon, the bank steward came out with a flattering look on his face.
"This guest, these are the new coins you exchanged. Please keep them."
There are a total of five hundred new hundred-yuan notes, each of which is extremely new.
Various complex patterns are printed on it, and in the center of the coin is a portrait of Han Lin.
besides,
Above the new currency, there are also the words Daqi Bank printed on it.
And there is a series of numbers on the right side of each coin.
Silver notes have been used for a very long time, so there are naturally a series of anti-counterfeiting marks in the production of banknotes.
To prevent counterfeit currency from appearing in the market.
After receiving the new coins, Ye Qingqiu picked up one and looked at it briefly.
When she saw Han Lin's portrait above, she felt sick in her heart.
I have never seen such a shameless person.
He can actually print his own portrait on coins.
If there is any great achievement, that's all.
For example, the founding emperor of Da Qi, or a wise and heroic leader like Emperor Huan of Qi. But you know what it is like for a fatuous master to do such a thing.
He put it in his pocket with great disgust.
If it wasn't necessary for transactions, Ye Qingqiu really wanted to burn it directly.
"Excuse me, what are the denominations of these new coins?"
Ye Qingqiu suddenly asked.
The bank clerk replied with a smile: "The minimum denomination is one yuan, and upwards are five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan and one hundred yuan."
"Excuse me, can you show me what it looks like?"
"sure."
If it were someone else, they would still be talking nonsense here after the exchange.
The bank manager had already let the Jin Yiwei in and kicked the people out.
However, for a distinguished guest like Ye Qingqiu, the steward is naturally willing to serve.
After a while,
Brand new small new coins were taken out one after another.
Ye Qingqiu looked at them in turn.
Finally, the portrait of Han Lin is no longer on these new coins.
But the sages of Qi State.
For example, the founding emperor, the champion prince of Qi two hundred years ago, and a prime minister, etc.
In short, they are all ancient sages of Qi State.
After leaving the bank, Ye Qingqiu did not go to the wine shop.
Instead, I plan to go to the market to have a look.
It's like someone who has just received their salary and can't wait to spend money.
Having just exchanged the new currency, Ye Qingqiu was naturally full of freshness.
With money in my pocket,
Ye Qingqiu came all the way to Dongshi.
There are two markets in Linzi City.
They are located in the east and west of the city respectively, so they are also called East City and West City.
Come to Dongshi,
Noodle shops, restaurants, pawn shops, tailor shops, blacksmith shops, banks...
There are various shops on both sides of the market.
There were also many vendors who placed the items they wanted to sell on the ground and kept shouting at the top of their lungs.
The endless flow of carriages, horses and merchants highlights the prosperity here.
Especially the industries started by Han Lin,
There was an endless stream of customers coming in and out.
Along the way,
Ye Qingqiu discovered that all the currencies traded here had been changed to new currencies.
besides,
What changes the most is the surrounding environment.
There are no mountains of garbage on the ground, and the figures coming and going are much cleaner than before.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but my mental outlook seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Came to a stall,
Ye Qingqiu picked up a wood carving and looked at it carefully.
The wooden figures are beautifully carved and lifelike.
It was a joy to watch.
"How can I sell this villain?"
After choosing an object he liked, Ye Qingqiu asked.
The stall owner took a look, stretched out his hand and gestured with a number and said: "5 yuan."
"It's not expensive."
This craftsmanship is definitely worth the money.
Ye Qingqiu took out a hundred yuan new coin and handed it over.
While the boss was looking for change, Ye Qingqiu asked: "Boss, I would like to ask, after using the new currency, are there any changes compared to before?"
"Variety?"
The stall owner thought for a while and said with a smile: "There must have been changes. In the past, the copper coins jingled when I wore them, and they were still very heavy."
"A pocket can hold hundreds of pennies. Look at it now, such a handful of money can be put into your pocket just by folding it."
I saw that the boss not only did not complain, but also looked happy.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Ye Qingqiu asked several questions in succession.
The answer I got was completely different from what I imagined.
Originally she thought,
Han Lin's various measures will surely boil public dissatisfaction.
The result was good. The stall owner in front of him not only did not complain, he even praised Han Lin as a wise man through the ages.
"I didn't know it before. It turned out that we could get the plague because we didn't pay attention to environmental sanitation. It was only after His Majesty told me that I suddenly realized it."
"Now there is a bathhouse opposite my house. I used to be reluctant to take a bath once a month, but now it only costs 5 yuan to take a bath, and it is a hot bath."
"And I heard that His Majesty is also going to renovate the roads in Linzi City, including the entire Gyeonggi area, so that it will no longer be so bumpy when going out."
"You said strict management and heavy fines? It's not enough if it's not strict. Otherwise, garbage and other things will be thrown around randomly. Lao Wangtou, who lives next door, became honest after being fined once."
"If you ask me, Your Majesty is an eternal wise king. His Majesty must have considered ceding Changlin Pass."
"Weren't we just defeated at that time? If we don't agree to negotiate for peace, how many people may die if we continue to fight. Your Majesty must not want to see the lives of people in ruins, so he is forced to negotiate for peace."
"You said His Majesty is addicted to women? Come on, which man in the world is not lustful? If I were to sit in that position, I would like to change ten of them a day."
Listening to the other party talking a lot.
finally,
Ye Qingqiu couldn't hold himself any longer.
Especially when he heard the words Qiangu Mingjun from the opposite mouth.
Just him, the Eternal Mingjun?
