【】Chapter 9 【Part 1】
In the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, 1900. Southern coastal provinces in China:
[Member of the Zong family surname, give birth to a boy. Name: Zong Jujin]
Zong Jujin's mother, her maiden name:
[In the 34th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, 1908, the coastal people spontaneously formed and fought with pirates]
The male surname of Shi and Zong family, basically practiced martial arts since childhood:
[All men from two families, regardless of their seniority... Anyone who can carry a knife to fight will join the war. After that, people from all surnames will either stay in their hometowns or go anywhere]
In 1908, Zong Jujin followed his parents and some relatives:
[Travel to the southern central region, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Located in the subtropical region, it has a humid monsoon climate. It is very reliable in doing business, accessible, and a local big family]
Speaking of this, I would like to express an old saying:
[During the Xianfeng period of Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty, in the 1850s, the early rough-processed silver dollars, also called "silver cake". Commercial exchanges were circulated, theoretically 5 cents of silver per coin. Later, the foreign silver dollars were introduced to my country, and there was an eagle pattern called "eagle ocean"]
Gentiles are machined, and the Eagle Ocean is very uniform:
[The pattern is pretty, 7 yuan and 3 cents each. If you go there, take 10 Yingyang in your pocket and say: I'll check out. Don't worry, I will definitely be full of compliments. Beautiful girls love to watch the most, what? Since ancient times, beauties love being generous, and they are the same everywhere]
The 15th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, 1889:
[In southern China's coastal provinces, the government minted silver dollars. 7 coins and 3 cents each coin. For some reason, the government ordered another change to 7 coins and 2 cents]
7 coins, 2 cents of large coins, 90% of the silver:
[There is a dragon-shaped pattern on it, also called "Longyang" among the people. It is even and neat, and it looks so good. Don't look at a coin, it has purchasing power. Look for money? Cash a small one]
Domestic Long Yang with 7 yuan and 2 cents, or Eagle Yang with 7 yuan and 3 cents:
[In the folk, large specifications. Go down to the small specifications, commonly known as "silver sockets"]
3 cents and 6 cents each large coin, commonly known as 5 cents:
[86% silver ratio. Don’t look at 1 coin, the purchasing power will still be
1 cent, 4 cents, 4 cents, commonly known as 2 cents. Not enough:
[Another cast 7 minutes and 2 centimeters, commonly known as 1 corner. Another 3 minutes and 6 centimeters, commonly known as half corners. These 3 types contain 80% silver]
The national releases Longyang, with beautiful patterns and scenes:
[That is called a symbol of identity. Visit relatives and grab a handful of new dragons. Let me say: It is rare to meet, the restaurant is set up. Don't worry, that prestige is swaying up the sky with a "swoosh"]
Regardless of Long Yang, Ying Yang, even if the rough silver cakes were used to be processed:
[Take 2 pockets and be confident when going out. Holding 10 pockets will make you mistakenly believe that you are very rich. Get 50 silver dollars to put in cloth pockets and stroll around the streets. I'm troublesome, why? I'm in the play. I think I am the richest man in China and can't get out of the play]
No jokes. Absolutely proportional to ordinary people:
[I have never seen a golden ingot. I like it, and I miss it day and night! But I can only think about it. Imagine it and grab a few copper coins to buy vegetables]
Not everyone can see silver ingots or silver ingots:
[Many poor people in the late Qing Dynasty had seen the big copper coins at most in their lives, or simply commonly known as "Wen"]
It sounds like a joke. The country's currency is circulating:
[Can't meet? Folk dialect: describes a family that is too poor. It is not a talk show, it truly reflects the late Qing Dynasty]
Before the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty:
[A variety of factors have been issued several paper money. The lifespan is very short and the people do not recognize it. They believe in silver, even if they trust copper coins]
The 31st year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, 1905:
[The Ministry of Revenue Bank was established, the earliest central bank in my country. In 1908, it was renamed "Daqing Bank"]
The 3rd year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty, 1911:
[Preparing to issue paper money: Daqing bank exchange coupons, commonly known as the "Daqing Dragon Notes". There are already sample money, but it was not issued in the end. The Qing Dynasty ended, the Republic of China]
In the early days of the Republic of China, years of war. The financial market was very chaotic:
[Only the type and specification of the coin, you can open a small exhibition]
First year of the Republic of China, 1912:
[Zong Jujin was 12 years old, and his whole family was doing business. The province in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River]
My mother took her to the coast of East China to see relatives of the family surnamed Shi:
[Bring enough gifts, dressing very decently. The relative's family has 3 children. Zong Jujin's mother gave each child 1 pair of leather shoes. The price level at that time, decent children's leather shoes, 1 silver dollar/pair]
When the copper plate with 5 texts is used, the small-face value auxiliary coins are given as examples:
[3 silver dollars, exchange for more than 500 copper coins. Ordinary families will never let go, and relatives are very moved. There are many face value and various types. Use the most down-to-earth analogy]
Then, give relatives 10 silver dollars:
[It is said to buy food for children. In 1912, the living standard was rare among ordinary people. In 1912, the store had just filled the master's apprentice, and 1 silver dollar per month's salary. At that time, ordinary restaurants could serve 2 silver dollars, and 10 people gathered around a table. Cold dishes, hot stir-fry, stewed again, and steamed large bowls]
If an ordinary family gets married, there is not much power:
[Ordinary restaurant, 10 silver dollars are placed on 5 tables. If you receive some gifts, you can]
In 1912, if two people have friends, find an ordinary restaurant:
[Take some rice wine and cigarettes at home. I want 1 bowl of steamed lion head and 1 bowl of plum vegetable and pork. How much is it? It is a copper plate of 2 cereals, 25≈≈30. Depend on who you are, you are reluctant to leave your low income]
Why are you so polite? Fighting Pirates in 1908:
[Relatives from my parents' families fight to the death, and the friendship on the battlefield]
1 silver dollar in 1912, buy about 150 eggs:
[Everyone is going to the temple fair together. When you are hungry, come and have a bowl of braised pork noodles]
When 1-text copper plate, the minimum auxiliary coin is given as an example:
[11 copper plates/double per bowl. 6 people, 66 copper plates. Soda, 8 copper plates/double per bottle. 6 people, 48 copper plates. A total of 114 copper plates]
Copper casting, think it's cheap? Wrong:
[Low-income families, with a large population. As a copper plate of 100% 100% 100% 100% vegetarian food, fill your stomach]
Next snack bar, 114 copper plates:
