Chapter 718 Eleven Articles

'copper? '

Zhang Ke's heart skipped a beat. When Penglai was first established, Xu Qingzhi had discussed this issue with him.

A unified currency is convenient for transactions and can also promote circulation between regions, which is an advantage.

But in the same way, there are advantages and disadvantages, and various differences between different regions will cause merchants to quickly profit and dominate the market.

If you want to use the same currency uniformly, you need a special institution to balance the differences in various prices and interest rates.

For thousands of years, because of the existence of the "money tree", the three types of talisman money have become the main currency in the practice world.

In the secular world, the Azure World has always used gold bars, silver taels, and copper coins as currency.

Although the currency between states is not unified, there will be a lot of troubles in large transactions, but Zhang Ke has never dared to touch this.

However, Zhang Ke once discussed with Xu Qingzhi the idea of ​​replacing metal currency with paper money.

After all, gold, silver and copper are relatively important resources. If they can be replaced by banknotes, these saved metals can be used in other places.

This is a major event that will affect the future of the azure world. The "Congenital Oneness Southern Sect" is too small, even if it has great benefits, it dare not touch it at all.

At this moment, when he heard the woman say the word 'Tongyuan', he immediately understood that it must have come from Xu Qingzhi.

Zhang Ke's heart sank. If it really happened as he expected, the 'North Sect of Xiantian Yiqi' might be in big trouble.

The woman was followed by two strong men, each pushing a small cart.

At this time, the woman opened the canvas on one of the carts, and inside were piles of exquisite copper coins that were slightly red.

The copper coins are not made of pure copper, and it is unknown what kind of substance is mixed in them, but each one shimmers with a faint light, which dazzles people's eyes.

The woman took a handful of 'copper coins' and scattered them casually. Amid the crisp sound of 'hua la la', she said with a smile:

"Everyone is a newcomer, and everyone will give eleven copper coins as a gift."

Out of the nature of taking advantage, not only those people who were originally next to her surrounded her, but even some people around her also leaned over curiously.

"Are you really going to give us money for free?"

"Although eleven cents is not worth much, there are hundreds of people here.

Could this person be a fool? I've never heard of someone giving money for nothing. "

"That's right! But this little girl is cunning and smart, she doesn't look like a fool, is there any deceit in it?"

"Cut~~! No matter what she wants to do, get the free money first."

"It is! It is!"

"."

People have the heart of the crowd, once people gather, more people will naturally gather.

In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people gathered around the woman.

Some people looked at the small cart that was only three feet high, and roughly estimated the number of copper coins in it.

People with outstanding calculation skills quickly figured out that with the loading capacity of two small carts, it was impossible to meet the requirement of eleven copper coins for each of the hundreds of people around.

Therefore, the people standing behind couldn't help but anxiously wanted to squeeze in front of the woman.

The people in the front were naturally worried that they would not be able to get any money if they were pushed to the back, so they moved closer to the woman.

Pushing and shoving, the scene became a bit chaotic.

The woman shouted loudly:

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Everyone has it, everyone has it!"

But the more confused people are, the more they worry that they won't get the money, and some grumpy people are already yelling and cursing.

There are also people with small children who are desperately trying to prevent people around from pushing towards the children.

The woman shouted a few words, but no one listened to her at all.

Seeing that some children were frightened and crying, they felt anxious and stretched out their hands to blow the rune whistle on their necks.

"Calling the law~~! Calling the law~~!"

A slight tremor spread rapidly from the air.

A few seconds later, there was a pattern of armored soldiers flashing a golden light on the wall next to it.

A tall white-armored god with a height of seven feet will jump out from the screen wall.

Wearing silver armor with fish scales, covered with a cold iron gray visor, his eyes are dark gold, which seem to be shining with curse patterns, and in his left hand is holding a dark gold long stick eight feet thick like a goose egg.

Seeing the chaotic and noisy scene, the White Armor God will beat the long stick in his hand on the ground.

"boom!"

"quiet!"

A muffled sound like a heavy drum accompanied by a majestic deep voice resounded in everyone's ears.

Almost instantly, hundreds of people quieted down, and no one dared to push and crowd.

The pretty woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's act of distributing money was a plan she came up with without telling her family. If it really caused a commotion, it would be troublesome.

The woman arched her hands, and said to the White Armored God General:

"Please God will maintain order here."

The White Armored God clasped his fists together with a 'slap', and a deep voice came from under the visor.

"Here!"

Turning around to face the hundreds of people around him, he grabbed a handful of dark golden fine sand from his waist with his right hand and raised it outward.

"brush--!"

A cloud of golden sand flew up and fell from the sky, splitting into vertical golden sand lines and falling on the ground. The distance of two feet from each other was enough to block everyone.

"To avoid confusion, please stand in the golden sand line under your feet."

Many people were talking in low voices, each of them moved their bodies and stood within the two golden threads.

After tens of neat rows of common people stood up, the woman signaled the two people beside her to follow her to the crowd, each pushing a small cart.

Each of the three people used a basket to fill the cart with copper coins, and distributed them to everyone separately.

Zhang Ke was also standing in the front row with great interest. The woman picked up a copper coin and handed it to Zhang Ke, and said:

"yours!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Ke with a little surprise.

'You're so young and don't look for work, but you're here waiting for money, hum! These outsiders are really lazy. '

Zhang Ke held the copper coin in his hand and looked it back and forth.

The purple-red copper coin is only the size of a longan, slightly smaller than the one-yuan coin in the dream, but the thickness is the same, and there are several extremely small fonts embedded in the curved outer edge.

'Penglai Banking Regulatory Commission 37 Years'

The copper coin the size of a longan has two characters neatly engraved on the front.

'one article'

On the back is a pair of engraved patterns, which are concave and convex, just like the two islands of Penglai and Penglai.

Relying on the power of his divine sense, Zhang Ke can naturally see that this pattern is exactly the size of Penglai, which has been shrunk countless times.

Even the 'Longmen Bridge' connecting each other is subtly revealed in the pattern.

Zhang Ke glanced left and right, and saw the same copper coins in the hands of the person beside him, and a thought flashed in his mind.

'Mechanical stamping! '

Obviously, in the past few decades, there have been countless inventions and creations in Penglai and Penglai.

Suddenly I heard someone beside me whispering.

"Hey! Didn't you say that each person will give eleven copper coins? Why is there only one penny now?"

"Yes! Could it be that this little girl doesn't count her words?"

"."

The low-pitched discussion quickly reached the woman's ears, but she turned a deaf ear to it, and just quickly distributed a copper coin to each of them.

Then the woman came to the crowd and said loudly:

"Have you seen the copper coins?

The word 'one article' is written on it, which is the smallest coin unit in my Penglai.

This Wentongyuan can buy five chicken eggs in Penglai Island, and five Wentongyuan can buy a bucket of corn. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone began to discuss again.

"Oh! In my hometown, it takes three coppers to buy a chicken egg, and a bucket of rice costs a hundred coppers!"

"This copper coin is so exquisite. I have never seen such a beautiful copper coin."

"Yes, I feel that the value of this copper coin itself is far more valuable than that value."

"Indeed, this copper coin is so beautiful, it's still shining."

"."

The woman went to another car and yanked off the canvas on the car.

On the horizontal and vertical wooden grids, various copper, silver, and gold coins were neatly stacked in rows.

Dazzling golden light, sparkling silver light, and purple-red shimmer layer upon layer and add radiance to each other.

At this moment, this little car is like a cornucopia, reflecting a light that is about a foot high.

"Wow--!"

"My God! So much money!"

"."

Hearing everyone's amazed voice and tone, the woman took out three purple-red copper coins of different specifications, and said with a smile:

"Copper coins and silver coins are divided into five types, and the value engraved on them represents its value.

The values ​​of copper coins are 'one wen', 'five wen', 'ten wen', 'twenty wen', and 'fifty wen' respectively.

The value of silver dollars is similar to this, according to 'one yuan', 'five yuan' and so on.

On the basis of these five values, the value of "one hundred yuan" is added to the gold dollar.

Penglai coins implement the hexadecimal system, one hundred copper coins are equivalent to one silver dollar, and one hundred silver dollars are equivalent to one gold dollar. "

Speaking of this, the woman called the other two to fill up the 'ten Wen' copper coins in a basket, and distributed another one to each of the people present.

"Ten Wen" copper coins are slightly larger than "One Wen" copper coins. In addition to the value, the pattern on the back has also changed.

Zhang Ke flexed and stretched the five fingers of his right hand, and two copper coins, one large and one small, jumped like mischievous elves between his fingers and palms.

Coins of different amounts can save a lot of materials for refining coins. This method has been nothing since ancient times.

It's just that the refining of Penglai coins is more refined, giving people the impression that the value of the "one penny" copper coin itself exceeds the amount.

Zhang Keshen scanned the cart and found that no matter what kind of coins they were, they were made of different alloys made of different materials.

Each of the sixteen patterns on the back of the coin is completely different, such as Wanzhou Lajiao, Three Dragons Hengkong, Whirlpool Tuo Island and so on.

A total of [-] representative events that occurred on the way of the "Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong" moving southward were selected as symbols.

Zhang Ke was thinking about the woman's purpose in distributing the coins.

If you want to explain Penglai coins, you don't need to give them away for free, as long as you choose one of each, you can naturally explain clearly.

The purchasing power of Penglai coins is very strong, and the coins issued by hundreds of people add up to tens of silver dollars, which is not a small number.

After the woman distributed coins to everyone, she stood in front of hundreds of people again.

"I'm going to show you around next.

This is the most prosperous place in 'Qingshui County', and there are various delicacies from various islands.

Anyway, there are eleven copper coins that come for free, and everyone can try them out.

There are also many precious items that can only be found in the nine counties of Penglai.

Here, only Penglai coins can be used, so if you see something you like and you don’t have enough coins, you can come to me to exchange it at any time.

Of course, if you have exchanged too many coins, you can exchange the remaining coins back when you leave here. "

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, Penglai's big money would basically be useless after leaving here, since it came for nothing, it's better to just use it and forget it.

"Hey! Just now I saw a kind of southern rice cake that seems to be delicious. You can buy five for only one penny. Just try it."

"Hey, I also think the rice cakes are good. By the way, there are some fruits I haven't seen before. I don't know what the taste is. Let's go together."

"Niu Niu, let's go, Dad will buy you the headband that you fancy just now."

"Really? Wow! Daddy, you are so kind."

"."

Listening to the enthusiastic discussion of the people around, Zhang Ke finally understood the woman's intention of giving away money for nothing.

'Stimulus consumption! '

This scene is so similar to some scenes in the dream.

Consumption is inertial, just like in some tourist places, if you don’t consume all the time, you may control your desires.

But once the hole for spending money is opened, it will be difficult to close it.

When he was on the 'Flying Fish', Zhang Ke had already learned one thing.

In order to recruit enough people to do things, 'Qingshui County' has been implementing a strategy for these years.

As long as you are willing to come to 'Qingshui County', the mountain boat can be transported for free. Of course, this is limited to those who come here for the first time.

Now among these hundreds of people, those who are unwilling to consume occupy the majority.

However, after they spent the free eleven copper coins and saw something they liked, they would naturally redeem it for purchase.

After Zhang Ke figured it all out, he couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him with admiration.

Not everyone has the courage and can think of such a way to stimulate consumption.

After staring at the woman slightly, Zhang Ke left quietly.
