Chapter 1069
It was of great importance and the emperor's strict order was passed down. No one in the Luoyang city dared to slack off at all. He immediately began to search for relevant criminals in the city that night.
Imperial City Department, Ministry of Justice, Luoyang Prefecture, Jinwu Guard... Everyone was moving, showing their capabilities, and checked the inner and outer cities of Luoyang and more than 100 yards one by one. Of course, the reason they came up with was not related to money, but only said that thieves with ill-thinking plots caused troubles and hurt people many times in the capital, which was for the safety of the people in the city.
Just in time, there were indeed several chaos in the city in just a few days after the beginning of the Chinese New Year, so the people everywhere cooperated quite well, and no greater riots arose.
However, even so, the various yamen searched for many days but found nothing. You should know that not only did they search the whole city, but also arranged people to stare at each gate in Luoyang. Those who left the city had to search all their bodies before they could let them go. They would never let someone take the documents related to money tickets out... but there was still no discovery.
As for the torture of those living beings, the Imperial City Shi did his best to do it and indeed asked them about their previous destination. However, when they really rushed there, they were already empty, including the Taoist temple outside the city.
The only gain was that it was clear that the person who did this was indeed the Luotian Sect who was determined to give up. But that was it.
When the major security yamen in the city were busy searching for prisoners, Li Ling also temporarily took off all the responsibilities of the Sansi yamen according to the emperor's wishes, stayed at home and focused on his mistakes. He ignored everything outside. In order to make him think about his mistakes at home without any discount, the next day, the palace also sent an imperial guard to guard the Li Mansion's gates so that no one could get close, let alone enter and exit easily.
As a result, Li Ling was left out of the matter of money and tickets that were soon issued. However, even so, under his previous arrangements, everything could still be implemented smoothly and organized.
Early on the 18th day of the first lunar month, the Ministry of Revenue, Transport Department and the Three Departments had sent people to spread the issue of money tickets all over the city. At the same time, carriages escorted by hundreds of officers and soldiers also began to send the long-form printed money tickets to shops in various capitals, making the momentum very loud.
Before this, there had been a saying in the capital that the government would issue new banknotes, which was a new type of banknote, but because the government had not yet issued a formal document, everyone still had many speculations about the authenticity of this matter. But now, with the officials from several major yamen taking to the streets to promote, dozens of big merchants and hundreds of shops also claimed that they could spend money in their own stores, and it immediately spread in Luoyang City, almost becoming a trend.
Although ordinary people may not use money tickets worth more than ten cents of 10 cents of money, or may not believe that a small piece of paper can be worth so much money, but with the strong push of the government and the lobbying of the shopkeepers and shopkeepers, after a few days, someone began to be moved.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. In the first half of the month when the money ticket is issued, these money tickets were actually only stored in many shops and did not move much. Whenever someone buys bulk goods with gold and silver and needs to make change, although the shopkeepers of each shop persuaded them, many people still did not accept it based on safety considerations.
But as time goes by, some people finally began to try to accept it. Especially those merchants who are rich and don’t care about that few taels of silver were finally moved after being persuaded by the merchants, and began to try to exchange some money tickets, and then go to shops elsewhere to spend money.
As a result, after a few times, they were able to spend money as money.
Compared with heavy and complex copper coins and gold and silver that need to be cut with scales, these money tickets are much more convenient. Whether it is carrying or replacing them, they make buying and selling easier. This has made many merchants who have tasted the sweetness further trust this brand new currency and started to hold some money tickets in their hands.
That's not all. Then, both the government and the shops told the fact that money tickets are now available to the world, and tried to persuade these merchants to take money tickets on the road and go elsewhere to do business.
This is a crucial step.
If money tickets are only passed in Luoyang, it is still the same as the money tickets issued by ordinary money houses and silver numbers, and they cannot become real currency in the end. Only when it can flow out and begin to pass in Luoyang and even in various prefectures outside the capital will it mean true success.
To this end, the Sansi Yamen quickly issued a government order, not only to encourage merchants and people from all over the world to use more money tickets, but also proposed one point - the Tianyou Tongbaoneng, which was stated earlier, will be officially implemented now for one for three, but the money tickets are exchanged!
Many people had doubts about Li Ling's decision before, but now everyone finally understood it. It turned out that this move was also a prelude to the implementation of money tickets.
Originally, ordinary people really don’t have much demand for money. After all, the cost of ordinary people is limited, and it’s already a big deal to buy money for a consistent period of time, so naturally they don’t need money for every 30,000,000. But now it’s different. People who hold Tianyou Tongbao in their hands and have been thinking about making a small fortune by making money by knowing that the government exchanges this way, they become hesitant.
Tianyou Tongbao is a real copper coin after all, but the big Yue money ticket is just a piece of paper in their eyes. No matter how exquisite it is, it is really hard to believe that it is worth the lot of copper coins and silver. But people's greed will eventually overwhelm rational at some point, especially some people who used two papers to exchange for one paper to make money before, and they were even more confused at this time.
If you don’t change it, if you pass the village and lose this store, you will lose a lot? But if you change it, can paper money really make people feel at ease?
After all, some people couldn't help but try to exchange the ticket shop opened by Tianyou Tongbao at the government office for one or two cents of money. Then, some people went to some shops in the same city to spend, and some people spent two days, and then used the tickets to exchange the silver and copper coins at the ticket shop.
Many shops, hotels and other things outside the capital were naturally afraid to collect money tickets. But some of them had been greeted by the government and had long since been bitten by the government. They began to collect money tickets, and like ordinary people, they rushed to the ticket shop that day or the next morning to exchange for money.
For the exchange of these two, ticket shops in various places will not refuse. As long as you have checked the money tickets, you will exchange them as much as possible.
In this way, after several months of development, everyone's confidence in money tickets has increased greatly. They can be exchanged in full, endorsed by the government, and can also exchange more money with the Tianyou Tongbao in their hands... Driven by these three reasons, money tickets have finally become popular all over the world of Dayue.
Under such a general trend, those merchants who had previously been unbelievable and had caused money to spend money in their stores began to make changes. After all, when other competitors' stores were willing to accept money, but they were unwilling to accept money, their own business would naturally be affected. Over time, they would lose their original customers and lose their competitiveness, so they naturally had to compromise.
This trend of money promotion started in Luoyang, the capital, but its real prosperity was in the south of the Yangtze River.
Because compared to the capital, Jiangnan is richer, more prosperous in business, and has a greater demand for the circulation of money. Compared with the heavy and complex money in the past, money tickets are obviously much more convenient and lighter. Especially when some merchants really try to bring only a small amount of money, but go to the capital to do business with money tickets from Jiangnan, and still buy the goods they want without any obstacles, they completely accept the emerging thing of money tickets.
At this time, it is reflected that the powerful force of the imperial court as the endorsement, which can open the bill houses all over the world. For ordinary local money houses and silver houses, they may have certain advantages in the local area, but if they leave the prefecture or leave the province, their bills will be useless.
The imperial court's money not only is used everywhere, but it is said that it also has the functions of deposits and borrowing. This one alone has completely opened up the distance from ordinary money shops, and they are completely powerless to resist.
Perhaps the owners behind these money shops and silver accounts also have considerable forces in the local area, and can even collude with local governments to make profits for themselves. However, under the new official law, the imperial court sent spies from the Imperial City Department to follow them early, these money shops and silver accounts could not really cause major obstacles to the circulation of money tickets, and finally they simply joined the army of money tickets to be promoted.
In the first half of the year of Tianyou, the world of Dayue was centered on the promotion of money and tickets. Officials and people at all levels of government offices and local officials and people all actively or passively invested in it, becoming a helper for the expansion of money and tickets.
So in just half a year, not only did the money tickets be fully spread in commercial areas such as the south of the capital, but also in other parts of the Central Plains, everyone began to agree with the emergence of this new currency. Even in the end, even in the northern border areas such as the southwest, the people accepted the use of money tickets to buy and sell goods. I heard that even the barbarians of all ethnic groups in the southwest are now willing to use gold, silver and other things to exchange money tickets with the place...
When the news came back to the capital, all the officials in the court were naturally very excited, and their original worries were completely gone. They were really afraid that the money ticket would die after a while, because now the salary of the court has begun to be distributed.
The officials were relieved, the merchants benefited, and the people also gained considerable convenience from it. At present, the implementation of money tickets is indeed a great situation that everyone wins.
In such a situation, everyone was imagining that after having money, Dayue's business would rise again and the people's lives would get better and better. However, they obviously ignored some bad things before - the details of the money leaked were not found yet.
