The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 591

At the Dachao meeting in early March, the servant of the household department wrote a note, requesting the implementation of new currency circulation and restricting the use of gold and silver in the market.

This cannon can be said to be silent.

Even fried some people dizzy.

The sage sat high on the throne of the Dragon Throne, watched coldly the reactions of all kinds of people below, and snorted a few times in his heart.

No matter how secret it is, it is difficult to keep it secret after a few mouthfuls. Therefore, the people sent by the saint beat some people in a targeted manner, and specially "focused on" some people, so that these people had no chance to receive any information during this period of time. information.Therefore, once the announcement of the new money system was announced, some people were shocked.

When new laws and regulations are promulgated, some companies are happy and others are sad.

Fortunately, although the common people are the last to know about it, they live at the bottom, and all they have in their hands is making money, and they don't see money in a hurry.Some people don't even know what gold and silver are all their lives.For them, life is still the same, the most is to have new money to see something new, and with ten or twenty cash, it will be more convenient to go out in the future.

Those who were relatively injured were those rich and powerful households and merchants who did not know.

Almost half of what these people accumulate and use in their hands is silver. Usually, even the rewards are broken silver and small silver picks, and they rarely touch copper coins.In this way, their loss is no small matter.

For a while, there was a lot of waves inside and outside the capital.

There is also a supervisory censor who folded bullets and impeached the household department, pointing out that this matter is of great importance, but it was not discussed in the court beforehand, and it was done arbitrarily; moreover, the weight of silver coins is obviously not enough to cover one tael of silver, and so on.

In short, it means that this matter is very unreasonable.If the sage agrees, to put it in a bad way, it would be collusion and collusion...

The saint sneered a few times after hearing this.

He is not a faint king, would he act arbitrarily on such an important matter? !Moreover, this idea was also proposed by the ministers, and those who should know naturally knew it, and even participated in the opinions on the style and specifications of making money.

As for those who shouldn't know, of course they don't need to know.

Moreover, there are chief ministers and sages in the DPRK to make decisions together, and it depends on the sage's will whether to discuss it publically or not.

Therefore, the sage did not reprimand those who jumped higher, but only pointed out a few new Jinshi who had just started practicing in the court.That meaning is already very obvious, there is no shortage of talents in the court, if you love to work, if you don't like to work, get out!There are two or three hundred Jinshi waiting for their positions.

Some people were demoted, some were promoted, and there was a lot of noise, which couldn't stop for a while.However, the new money has been announced and officially started to circulate.

Shi Chuying held the new money order issued by the government in her hand, and while reading it, she listened to the accountant's reply:
"...The old money can still be used, and you can also go to the bank to exchange for new money. Any place where money is exchanged is not allowed to charge any fees. Otherwise, if there is a report and verification, no matter how much the money is exchanged, it will be severely punished as a crime of contempt. All stick thirty on the spot, and travel thousands of miles;

...Official silver, one tael of pure silver is exchanged for a thousand new coins. If the fineness is not enough, after deducting the deficiency, another [-]% of the fire consumption will be deducted, and then exchanged for the converted fine silver.King likened..."

As he spoke, the steward took out a small money bag and dumped it on a prepared tray with a clatter.Artemisia annua brought up the tray.

Shi Chuying's fingers slid over the brand-new coins one by one, and saw that there were three styles of newly released coins, among which the one penny and ten penny coins were copper yellow, and the twenty penny coins were silver white.

Shi Chuying looked at these coins, they were fairly finely cast, turned them over, and saw that one side was engraved with the year name and household department, and the other side was engraved with the amount of money.

The size of one penny and ten penny is exactly the same. The most obvious difference is that the square hole in the middle of one penny is very large, while the square hole of ten penny is much smaller. Therefore, ten penny is heavier than one penny.

It is also taken care of by many illiterate people who can easily tell the difference.

"That's all?" Shi Chuying raised her eyebrows.

The steward had been waiting to ask, at this time he took out a small kit from his sleeve, and took out a 'silver coin' from inside.

Shi Chuying picked up this 'silver coin' and felt it lightly, "Eight coins?!"

"Exactly!" The person in charge said: "The official bank said that this is worth one or two feet of silver, and besides the silver there is also cupronickel, otherwise it is too soft.
