"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1319
? Far East Empire, Hedong Province.
In an antique house on the outskirts of the provincial capital, a raging charcoal fire was burning, making the house warm.
"I heard that the imperial bank of the thief army requested that the gold coins, silver coins and copper coins be abolished before the end of the month, and use their Laoshizi money notes. What do you think of this matter?"
A white and clean middle-aged man sitting at the first place was holding steaming hot tea, and cast his eyes on the few people sitting in front of the charcoal fire.
"Your Highness, the thief's move is to lure snakes out of their holes. We must not be fooled." A fat man said.
"They asked to exchange all the coins into their bills. Once we exchange so many coins, it will definitely arouse their ideas, and we will be exposed at that time."
After hearing what the fat man said, everyone nodded in agreement.
"But if you don't exchange them, those thieves say that all the coins will be invalid next month, and our money will be piled up in our hands, which is useless." Someone frowned, his face full of worry.
"Hmph, these coins have been used for nearly a thousand years, how could they just invalidate them as soon as they say they are invalid?" Someone snorted coldly.
"Now the bandit army is strong and strong, and they have controlled various provinces. The situation is stronger than people."
"They want to abolish coins to deal with us, why should we sit and wait for death, why don't we give him a countermeasure." Someone's eyes were shining.
"Wu Houye, what do you think, tell me."
After hearing the words of the middle-aged man in fancy clothes, the fair middle-aged man sitting at the first place became interested.
This middle-aged man in Chinese clothes is none other than a hereditary marquis who was enshrined in the eastern province by the previous dynasty, and he can be regarded as a prominent family.
However, after the Qinghe army overthrew the decadent dynasty, he, the hereditary Marquis, had to feign death and hide in the dark.
The identity of the fair middle-aged man sitting at the top is even more prominent. He is a prince from the previous dynasty, and he is regarded as a branch of the royal family.
The main line of the royal family was almost wiped out in the Wangdu incident, and the prince of his branch line hid himself when he saw the situation was not good.
So this survived the brutal period of melee until the Qinghe army now established a new empire.
For these old ministers of the former dynasty, they can be said to have lived quite well in the past, living a luxurious life of delicacies from mountains and seas.
Now he is hiding in Tibet like a mouse crossing the street, and his life is suffocating.
So they secretly gathered together, plotting to overthrow the newly established empire and restore the dynasty's rule.
Of course, now they only dare to hide in the dark and dare not carry out public activities.
"Your Highness, countering the thieves is easy. Don't they want to abolish the coins, so let's abolish their money tickets first!" Hou Ye Wu Jing said viciously.
"We have coins in our hands, and they can exchange all the money tickets at a high price."
"As long as we have the vast majority of money tickets in our hands, we will greatly suppress the value of money tickets and turn them into waste paper. We will see what they will do then."
"I think this plan is feasible, so let's do it, send people to the black market to buy money tickets at high prices, as long as the money tickets are in our hands, then let us knead them!" Prince Longlin nodded and said.
Soon, the former prince Long Lin discussed a plan with the old ministers of the former dynasty, which was to mess up the eastern province.
"Five copper coins for a copper ticket, five silver coins for a silver ticket, and five gold coins for a gold ticket!"
Outside the newly opened Imperial Bank in the capital of the eastern province, a young man in a white uniform was holding a tin horn and shouting loudly.
After the establishment of the empire, Chen Ziang also wanted to control the country's economy, so he carried out a reform on the currency.
The direct way is to gradually abolish the coins of the previous dynasty and replace them with the money tickets used by the Qinghe Army.
Now all provincial capitals, prefectures and counties have also set up sub-colons of imperial banks, and behind these banks are the shadows of Empress Chen Xiaoyu.
These banks will undertake the exchange of bills and coins. As long as they control the issuance of currency, they will be able to gradually control the economy.
Because the Eastern Province stipulates a one-month exchange limit, it means that next month, all coins will become invalid and become waste.
So in empire moneyAt present, those people who have coins in their hands also lined up in a long line, and went to the Imperial Bank to exchange money tickets one after another.
The heavy coins were given to the Imperial Bank in exchange for brand new bills, and the faces of the people were also smiling.
The new empire and the new atmosphere, compared with the heavy and inconvenient to carry coins, money tickets are much more convenient.
And now there are semicolons of the Imperial Bank everywhere in the empire, as long as you have a certificate, you can access it at any time, which is quite convenient.
"Brother, do you want to exchange coins? One copper ticket can be exchanged for ten copper coins."
When some people had just walked out of the imperial bank, they were stopped by someone.
"One copper ticket for ten copper coins?"
After hearing this, the commoner couldn't believe his ears. There is such a good thing in the world?
You know, in the Imperial Bank, a copper ticket can only be exchanged for five copper coins, but now it has fully doubled.
In other words, as long as they lose their hands, they can earn an extra copper ticket.
"real or fake?"
"What I lied to you must be true."
When the man spoke, he dangled the coins in his pocket to prove his sincerity.
"Okay, change it!"
It would be a fool not to take advantage of it, so this commoner quickly exchanged the new money ticket he had just exchanged for coins at a ratio of 1:10.
After exchanging coins, he returned to the Imperial Bank, and exchanged them for copper notes at the exchange ratio of 1:5 stipulated by the empire.
Such a handover, originally only five copper tickets in his hand, now suddenly became ten, which made this commoner quite happy.
"Would you like to change it?"
Seeing that the person who secretly exchanged money was still standing at the entrance of the alley, the commoner couldn't help but went up to ask again.
"As long as you have it, I'll take it all."
"And if your relatives and friends want to exchange, you can also come to me."
"Well, that's what you said."
After the exchange was completed, this commoner also invited his relatives and friends to come over and sold the money ticket to these people at a high price.
In just a few days, the former prince Long Lin and others secretly grasped a huge amount of money tickets.
When some people are ready to go to the door to exchange again, they will start to suppress the price of money tickets at this time.
"The current exchange price is five copper tickets to exchange for one copper coin."
When the people who were excitedly holding the copper notes and preparing to exchange them for coins to make money heard this, they were stunned.
In the past, ten copper coins were exchanged for one copper ticket, which was higher than the exchange ratio of the Imperial Bank. Now it is directly reversed, and five copper tickets can be exchanged for one copper coin.
In other words, the value of the copper notes in their hands has been depreciated several times. Although it is not waste paper, it is almost the same as waste paper.
Faced with such a situation, these people are naturally unwilling to exchange, because it is too much of a loss.
However, now that the former prince Long Lin and others hold a large amount of coins and bills, it is simply too easy for them to suppress the price.
Soon, Long Lin and others wantonly suppressed the value of money tickets in the black market. At the same time, the shops they controlled also issued the banner of not accepting money tickets, but only coins.
As a result, the common people holding the bills in their hands suddenly panicked, because seeing the depreciation of the bills day by day and not being able to spend them, and not accepting them anywhere, the money they had worked so hard to accumulate over the years shrank by half in just a few days .
? In the beginning, five copper coins were exchanged for one copper ticket, and one copper ticket could buy a bucket of grain.
With the sharp depreciation of copper notes, now even fifty copper notes cannot buy a bucket of grain.
Although the Imperial Bank still exchanged five copper coins for one copper note, the black market had become one copper coin for fifty chapters of copper note.
Facing the ever-depreciating copper bills, no one is willing to exchange coins for money bills at all. Instead, the common people sell money bills in a large amount and exchange them for coins again.
The final result is that all the money notes exchanged by the imperial bank a few days ago have returned to the bank, and the wealth in the hands of the people has shrunk sharply after being suppressed by the middleman's price difference.
Money notes have depreciated substantially in Hedong Province, and have almost become unusable waste paper, and the common people can't avoid it.
