Looking forward to, looking forward to.

In everyone's expectation, this day has finally arrived.

"The world is stable, the sky enjoys peace, all things are quiet and bright, all the people bow their heads and those who cultivate have fields, and all things in the world sprout in spring."

"In the past, I ordered Qin Banliang to be forged in order to calm the world and the people's hearts."

"In the past four years, Qin's Banliang has been used in many ways, and it has been used by merchants all over the world to trade goods and goods."

"The people are stable and merchants can do their business."

"As stated in the Book of Shang Jun, we must attach importance to people's livelihood and farming. Agriculture is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken."

"But for the world to be stable, the country must be rich."

"The sages wrote in the Book of History that the people are the foundation of a country, and the foundation is the foundation of a country's peace."

"He also said, "Huan Gong and the nine princes did not use military chariots, but Guan Zhong's power. ""

"It is necessary to obtain "the merits of Guanzi, currency to accumulate wealth, and the country's wealth and military strength."

"If the people are rich, they must have wealth; if they have wealth, they must have business affairs."

"Today I have gathered all the wealth in the world, led by Right Prime Minister Chen Ke, to forge new coins, which are called "Qin coins"."

"The one who mints the coins has the right."

"The new coins are copper, silver and gold."

"The creation of new coins must be in accordance with the destiny of heaven, and it is the destiny of heaven. The first emperor only had two coins, copper and silver."

"He also ordered a new [Mint] to be built under the jurisdiction of the Manufacturing Department to forge new coins."

"A new Qin Coin Bank has been opened in the world, responsible for the exchange of new coins."

A long notice appeared with the appearance of the soldiers. When seeing this notice, the entire Xianyang City was like a hot oil pan, bursting out with countless enthusiasm. Everyone was looking at the newly opened store eagerly. [Qin Coin Bank], waiting for the opportunity to exchange new coins.

somewhere

Several businessmen sat there with expressions of disbelief, horror and surprise on their faces.

They looked at each other and said, "Did you hear His Majesty's hidden meaning?"

The look in Zhai Xi's eyes flickered slightly, with disbelief in his eyes: "Does your Majesty mean that you are willing to shake what Shang Junshu said in order to improve the merchant's status?"

Shentu realized that he was not so optimistic, and just said with emotion: "I just feel that this is a piece of fat given to us by His Majesty the First Emperor, just waiting for us to watch the fat move forward desperately."

"It's like a piece of meat thrown among wolves. I'm afraid the meat is highly poisonous!"

Zhai Xi did not agree with Shentu Xiangwu's words. He looked at Shentu Xiangwu, but did not refute. He just said: "I feel that our Majesty really wants to improve the status of merchants, but even if our status is No matter how we improve, we must be limited.”

"I never thought about how high my status would be promoted all at once."

He sighed, with a deep tone in his tone: "In the past, Shang Junshu's words plunged our status into the abyss and dust."

"Now we just have to wait."

"The new currency is a business strategy. If there is a business strategy, it will definitely follow the new policy. Just watch."

Zhai Xi's voice was low: "As long as new Qin regulations are issued for us in two days, we will be able to see our future."

As if he saw something, he suddenly stood up and looked into the distance: "Let's go, my people have found the place where Qin Coin Bank is, and they are already waiting there to take the note."

"If we go now, we can probably exchange all the half a tael of money, gold cakes, and silver we brought with us into silver coins, copper coins, etc."

Shentu realized what he was doing and said, "That's fine, today I'm taking advantage of Brother Zhai."

"I just don't know how many new coins Da Qin has prepared?"

"If all the coins are exchanged on the first day, I'm afraid there will be a large number of people hoarding new coins and waiting to resell them."

He mocked himself and said: "Merchant people have always valued profits over righteousness, regardless of the righteousness of the family and the country. With the existence of those moths, it is normal for Your Majesty not to like merchants."

three streets away

Qin Coin Bank

The merchants who got the news rushed here quickly, and everyone was waiting for Qin Coin Store to open.

Most of them were servants of wealthy businessmen. They were waiting after taking the notes. They didn't dare to go in, and their masters didn't dare to let them in.

After a while, Shentu Xingwu, Zhai Xi and others arrived here.

At this time, the clerk in the Qin Coin Store happened to call their number, so the group looked at each other and walked directly to the Qin Coin Store.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw several well-organized counter windows, and a clerk was sitting at all the windows.

They followed the number they were called and then walked to the counter window in the middle.

The boys inside were very polite and did not look down on them just because they were merchants.

"How many new coins do I need to exchange?"

He said patiently: "The exchange ratio of Qin Banliang to new copper coins is one to one, the exchange ratio of silver to silver coins is also one to one, and based on weight, the exchange ratio of gold to silver coins is eight to one."

"After you say how much you want to exchange, I will give you a note. You can go to the backyard of Qin Coin Bank to exchange and count the coins with you."

The boy smiled and said: "Of course, you can also store the newly exchanged Qin coins in Qin Coin Bank. Qin Coin Bank will give you a storage certificate. After that, all your transactions can be carried out in Qin Coin Bank. Qin Coin Bank The currency bank will automatically transfer it to you."

After hearing this, Zhai Xi was a little nervous: "Can the exchanged coins only be stored in the Qin Coin Bank? Does it have to be that all newly exchanged coins can only be stored in the Qin Coin Bank?"

The boy was not anxious when he heard this question. He knew what Zhai Xi and other merchants were thinking.

So he said: "Of course not."

"The Qin Coin Bank only provides this kind of convenience. You can exchange the Qin coins as you like. If there are too many, there will be soldiers to escort you."

Zhai Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated and said, "I want to exchange one hundred thousand copper coins, one thousand taels of silver, and ten thousand gold."

Upon hearing this number, the boy's eyes lit up instantly.

Even though most of the people who came on the first day were wealthy businessmen, he rarely saw wealthy businessmen who exchanged so many gold, silver, and copper coins.

He quickly said: "So, the amount you exchanged is huge. Please go to the backyard and someone will receive you."

Shentu and others also said quickly: "The amount we want to exchange is the same as Brother Zhai."

The clerk quickly waved, and another clerk came from a distance: "Please take these people to the backyard."

Kuaiji County

Zheng Taidong walked slowly, and after a while he reached the county governor's mansion. He looked at the county governor's mansion in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

When we meet today, it's not clear whether they are friends or foes.

He actually didn't want to lose Yang Tianyi as a friend.

"It doesn't matter, time is destiny."

Outside Kuaiji County

In the garrison camp.

Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo looked at each other and laughed loudly when they saw the document in front of them: "Here we come!"
