Three days later, the first batch of funds raised by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, 335,000, had all arrived. Looking at the room full of copper coins, Li Zexuan sighed in his heart:

"The times are too backward~! There are more than 300,000 kangaroos in this mere amount, which makes a room a bit too big, and the servants in the house have spent most of the day counting the money! How is it like modern times, with a finger on the phone, Whether it is 300,000 or 30,000,000, all will be credited instantly! The worst, modern cash is much better than copper coins at this time! 10,000 stacks, 30,000,000 is a box of things, no Just like now, 300,000 kangaroos fill a room directly!"

Regarding the currency of this era, Li Zexuan actually does not know how many times he has complained in his heart. Just imagine, if you are going to the West Market to buy a horse, you should talk less than a dozen times. In ancient times, consistent money was basically about three to four kilograms, and a dozen or so was about forty or fifty kilograms. The weight of copper coins used to buy horses was almost equivalent to the weight of a person. It is conceivable that the large-scale transactions in this era were How inconvenient.

"Banknotes, banknotes, we must develop banknotes in the future~!"

Li Zexuan said with emotion.

Modern online payment is still too far from the technological level of the Tang Dynasty, but paper money can still be looked forward to.

In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a shadow of paper money. According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the treasury was empty due to the war with the Huns for many years. "White Buckskin Coin" was issued.

The so-called "white deer skin coin" uses the white deer skin of the palace as the coin material. Because its value is far away from the value of the skin coin itself, the "white deer skin coin" is only used as a tribute between princes and not used in the field of circulation, so it is not a real paper currency, but a paper currency. pioneer.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a currency called "Flying Money". At that time, it was very inconvenient for merchants to carry a large amount of copper coins when they went out to do business, so they first went to the government to issue a certificate, which recorded the number of places and coins, and then took the certificate to withdraw money to buy goods in other places. This certificate is "flying money". "Flying Money" is essentially just an exchange business. It does not intervene in circulation and does not function as a currency, so it is not a real paper currency.

The "Jiaozi" in Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty was the beginning of real paper money.

Why paper money did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, or dynasties earlier than the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not accidental, it is an inevitable product of social, political and economic development. The development of commodity economy in Song Dynasty was very rapid, and more currency was needed in the circulation of commodities, but there was a shortage of copper coins at that time, which could not meet the demand in circulation.

At that time, iron coins were widely used in Sichuan area. The iron coins were of low value and heavy weight and were extremely inconvenient to use. One copper coin is worth ten iron coins, and the weight of each thousand iron coins is 25 catties for large coins and 13 catties for medium coins. It costs 20,000 iron dollars to buy a piece of cloth, weighs about 500 catties, and needs a car. Therefore, there is an objective need for portable currency, which is also the main reason why banknotes first appeared in Sichuan.

Furthermore, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocratic country, the national currency was not unified. At that time, there were special copper coins for Thirteen Roads (administrative units in the Song Dynasty), iron coins for four roads, and both copper and iron coins in Shaanxi and Hedong. Each currency area also strictly prohibits the outflow of currency, and the use of paper money can prevent the outflow of copper and iron money.

In addition, the Song Dynasty government was often attacked by Liao, Xia, and Jin, and the military expenditure and reparations were very large, and it also needed to issue paper money to make up for the fiscal deficit. Various reasons led to the creation of paper money - "Jiaozi".

According to the original history, it was impossible for banknotes to appear in the Tang Dynasty, but now, as a modern person, he has crossed over, and he has also crossed into a rich second generation with great wealth, so he has to do things.

After thinking about it in his mind, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning. Regarding banknotes, he will do it in the future, but definitely not now, it will take time and relevant talents.

When he came to the academy, Li Zexuan went directly to Yan Shaoning's office.

"Shao Ning! All the money for the road construction has been put in place, then you can arrange the manpower as soon as possible and start the construction~!"

Li Zexuan pushed open the door and saw that Yan Shaoning was still alone inside, so he went straight to the point.

Yan Shaoning stood up and said in surprise: "The money has come so soon? Well, I have already made arrangements here. In this case, let's start construction today~! How is the cement preparation at the factory?"

Li Zexuan replied: "There is absolutely no problem with the workshop, the output of cement can definitely be supplied~!"

Since the main productivity of the Trolley Pavilion has been moved to Meicun, the output of carriages, scooters, glaze, cement and books has gradually increased. Now the supply capacity of Trolley Pavilion has been greatly improved. As before, there are many people rushing to loot, but the scene where the looting disappears in an instant has rarely appeared.

This is also the purpose of Li Zexuan's expansion of the workshop. Although hunger marketing can mobilize people's enthusiasm for buying in a short period of time, it will only make people feel disgusted after a long time. After all, he also experienced the torture of a certain brand engaging in hunger marketing in his previous life.

Yan Shaoning nodded and said, "That's good~!"

Li Zexuan then scanned the surroundings and asked with a smile, "Where's your girl Mo?"

"She has been at the workshop recently, and asked the workshop master to help her make the lens~!"

Yan Shaoning replied subconsciously, but he immediately reacted to the words in Li Zexuan's words.

Sick, he hurriedly scolded: "Damn, what is our girl Mo~? Don't talk nonsense, kid, and ruin the reputation of Wei Er, Mr. Mo will have to settle accounts with you~!"

Li Zexuan laughed and went out, leaving his words in the air, "Haha, I'm afraid Mr. Mo will come to you, not me. Who told you to steal someone's daughter's heart~?"

Yan Shaoning's ears were red with rare embarrassment. He chased out the door and wanted to find Li Zexuan's theory, but where is Li Zexuan's shadow outside?

This guy could only make a "bah" and murmured: "How can this kid keep thinking about those things in his head all day long? Fortunately, he is still the mountain leader of Yanhuang Academy, and he doesn't look like a mountain leader at all. What a vain teacher~! Oh, to get married? What kind of marriage? How good it is to be free and free~!"
