Chapter 264 The Evolution of Currency
Wang Xin and Zhao Tianjing came to Yang Yichuan's mansion in the afternoon with a nervous mood, and Yang Yichuan also met these two people.
As soon as these two people spoke, Yang Yichuan knew what they were going to come.
Wang Xin's smiley face even squeezed his eyes away, and he looked a little funny.
"Your Highness, is it true that you are talking about promoting banknotes?"
Yang Yichuan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's true. I plan to promote banknotes in Xihe City. After Xihe City stabilizes, it will be in the second half of the year to see if banknotes can be promoted throughout Xihe Prefecture. At the latest, the entire Xihe Prefecture will be promoted at the beginning of next year."
"And after I return to the capital, I will also tell my father about this. I will definitely promote paper money in two years next year and the next year."
Wang Xin and Zhao Tianjing both had bad premonitions. Yang Yichuan, Wang Xin and Zhao Tianjing felt that their money might be wasted.
"I know what you are worried about, that this banknote is just waste paper, not money. If that's the case, let me tell you about the evolution of currency, and why this banknote replaced gold and silver and became a new currency."
"The evolution of currency? Paper money replaces gold and silver?" The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Yang Yichuan was talking freely about what knowledge about these currencies is, Yang Yichuan used his knowledge of high school in his previous life, and the system loli's understanding of the world, which is not a problem at all.
"In the earlier primitive society, there were actually behaviors and items such as trade, currency and economy, but no one came to realize this at that time."
"From the beginning of barter, you need this, I need this, we discuss the amount with each other to exchange it. This is the early business activity. At that time, there was no fixed currency, and barter."
"Until later, money slowly appeared. What currency? Some shells and other things, with the intermediate shells, are much more convenient to exchange. This is similar to shells. What is circulated in the market during transactions is currency, and it is also the prototype of currency."
"In the later development, slowly, I don't know when gold and silver became currency. There are reasons and reasons for gold and silver becoming currency. For example, gold and silver are valuable and rich in reserves. However, gold and silver are also slowly replaced because they are too heavy and inconvenient to carry. Paper money is a good substitute, and I know why you are worried."
"First, recognition. If you only agree that banknotes are currency, it is useless. Everyone must agree with it. Only then can they be used and circulated. The banknotes are real money and can they buy things."
"Second, unlike real money and silver, you think paper money is unsafe and easy to be copied. It is still very dangerous to have counterfeit coins. But no one else can do the papermaking technology I use, and of course no one else can do the paper money manufacturing technology I use. Generally speaking, only these people will, and then these technologies will be handed over to the court. If the court does a good job in protection, there will be no possibility of counterfeit coins."
"In addition to being skilled, it is also very simple to verify the authenticity. People can check the authenticity without worrying about fake currency."
"You may not believe it now. Go back and prepare first. There is also compulsory education that depends on you. When you go out to do business, you can also exchange a large amount of gold and silver for you. After all, there is no need for banknotes outside now."
"Okay, I have a book about money and economy, and I'm still writing it. After I finish writing it, you can take a look. The banknotes are just being produced. When you see the banknotes, you will know that it's not that simple. Even if you put all your strength into it, it's impossible to copy it."
Yang Yichuan wrote this book more to persuade Li Ru, and he would send one to his father at that time.
Just after the renovation of the printing factory behind the school, the new printing factory was about to come out. It was similar to other factories. Some places continued to use manpower, while some places naturally used spiritual energy as energy.
This printing factory is still used to print books and other things. The place where paper money is printed must not be placed anywhere. Yang Yichuan plans to put it near his home, so that it will be safe and secure.
However, Yang Yichuan's book has not been completed. The abbreviated version is for the big families like Xihecheng. The more rich content is for Li Ru. There is not only the evolution of currency, but also some things about economics.
The money matter is still in the process of preparation, but it is time to implement the compulsory education matters.
Yang Yichuan went to Li Ru's residence. This time he discussed with Li Ru about compulsory education, and also showed this book to Li Ru. Yang Yichuan believed that with Li Ru's knowledge, he should be able to understand and understand many things.
Qin Hai also took the basic "Evolution of Currency" and went to find the heads of these families of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, and then distributed the book to them to let them see these things. With the content and knowledge of this book, I think the resistance of these big families will be less.
Li Ru and Yang Yichuan were sitting and drinking tea. They enjoyed the air conditioning and didn't feel hot. They just left the room and were still very hot when they came outside.
"The book brought by Your Highness is so novel. It is really incredible that the book says that by using trade and transactions, you can suppress a country and defeat others without fighting."
"This is not incredible, but it is true. Does Lord Li think it is not like this? It's like if there is a country with shortage of food near the Dawei Dynasty, then raising the price of grain can make the country declining day by day. It's like if we don't sell food to them, and they will have many problems if they lack food. Selling or not selling has some reasons. You must look at the right time and then let your Dawei Dynasty make a profit."
Although Li Ru only took a rough look, he benefited a lot and felt that he was getting older.
"I'm old, old. I'll take a good look at the book sent by Your Highness and study it."
"It's good if Lord Li has time to read it. Now, it's better to enjoy happiness with peace of mind. Just read this book. Someone will come to study it carefully in the future."
"Also, I came here this time to start compulsory education. I built school and library. With this new paper and printing technology, poor students also have a way out. In addition to the library of the college, I also plan to build several libraries, which can not only allow poor students to read books for free, but also sell books."
Li Ru also said, "Your Highness considers poor students, which is also a blessing for poor students."
"What kind of blessings or not is just giving them a chance and a better environment. As for whether it is difficult to make a name for themselves, it depends on their own efforts."
