It is easy to lose the credibility of the government, but it is extremely difficult to rebuild. This can be understood by the rabbits in later generations.

The same is true for Zhao Song now.

The Central Plains, which were greatly damaged by the torture of Emperor Huizong of Song, had thousands of miles of land, and the farmers fled, and no grains were born, and the thorns spread out in the fields. The people complained about the government and regarded the officials as corruption and abused the law. The credibility of the court was gone.

In this case, I want the people to believe that the pieces of paper they get are real money. How is this possible?

Not to mention that this kind of distribution is a certain degree of "forced buying and selling". While the people are strongly dissatisfied, they all feel that the banknotes are burning.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and although this behavior is very hateful for paper money, they cannot make any waves under the strong suppression of governments in various places.

Of course, what's more important is that these banknotes can be really spent. At least there is no problem with paying taxes.

The imperial court's official newspaper has long published: No individual or enterprise may refuse to accept paper money for any unjust reason, otherwise it will be punished by the government's detention, fines, etc. This greatly alleviates this contradiction.

After the winter began, many merchants from all over the country had already applied banknotes. Especially those rich businessmen who were in and out of huge numbers, not only banknotes became an urgent need for them, but even government bonds began to slowly circulate on the market.

Because their existence is really much easier than the copper coins that are made into cars and boxes.

In the Qing Dynasty, China's currency had already entered the Silver Age. The prosperity of commercial bills such as silver banknotes and bills fully demonstrated the ease of paper banknotes, which was an advantage that physical gold and silver could not match. It was even more unmatched by copper coins in the current era.

But these things are not understandable to ordinary farmers who can't see a few dollars on weekdays. They only seriously don't recognize any of them such as banknotes, bills of exchange, checks, etc.

Once you get it, spend it as soon as possible, either buying food and clothing, livestock, or buying some farm tools? In short, spend the unreliable "paper" on hand first, and leave a few pieces at the top to pay taxes. People remember this very clearly, because the official newspaper and bank staff said that this kind of "paper" can also be used to offset taxes.

That will save them a lot of trouble.

You should know that at this time, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were definitely the world currency that was spread throughout East Asia.

Japan once sent merchant ships to the Song Dynasty to engage in trade. After all the goods were sold out, they stopped purchasing goods and only collected copper coins. They transported 100,000 guan of copper coins at one time. In history, Japan's Kamakura Shogunate even publicly recognized that Song copper coins were Japan's legal currency. Of course, that was the future.

In addition, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were also the mainstream currencies of Goryeo, Jiaozhi and other countries, and flowed to South Asia and West Asia, becoming the auxiliary coins of the southern part of India and even the Tianfang World.

As for the approaching Western Xia, the Khitan and Jin people, they took Song coins as their own use without hesitation. The ones that were cast in one day and shared by the four dynasties is not a joke.

In addition, the Song people had the bad habit of hiding money, just like the Chinese people in the Ming and Qing dynasties hid silver in the cellar and even turned black, which led to a serious economic problem - a money shortage.

Heavy vehicles came out at the border, sea ships were loaded back, and there was no money on the market to circulate, which was definitely a heavy blow to the economy.

It is also because of this that the more money you mint, the less you use, the texture of the copper coins you minted will become worse and worse. This triggered another phenomenon - bad money drives out good money.

Because people are unwilling to keep bad money, they will compete to use bad money to buy goods. Even if they send New Year’s money in later generations, they still need new money. When buying things, two banknotes will be bought with old ones.

The result is that bad money eventually drives out good money. Even on the market, there is a shortage of money, and on the other hand, bad money is flooded, and the money is a problem. This aggravates the depreciation of bad money and inflation.

When the government collected taxes, several people had never argued with the police because of bad money and good money?

If you want a bad currency to win one good currency, then the police want two bad currency to win one good currency. How could it be easier to pay taxes directly with paper money?

But no matter how the people think, it is an unquestionable fact that the banknotes are step by step into the lives of the people and are gradually integrating into the society of Zhao and Song dynasties.

When time passes by little by little, when the people are completely accustomed to banknotes, the era of banknotes combined with gold and silver coins may not be impossible.

In this way, Zhao Song's economic strength could be increased like a leaps and bounds.

Not to mention the stimulating effect of this on the economy, but to say that the court held a printing machine in his hand, the financial ability was more than three or five times stronger than the copper coins era and the silver era.

Because there is an extremely huge difference between margin and banknote issuance.

Although this idea is really low-key. In the current era, the gold and silver in the world are waiting to be picked up, and they are still thinking about financial bankruptcy. It’s just that low-key forced his mother to open the door and low-key got home.

...

The Mizhou Prefecture on Jingdong East Road is located in Zhucheng.

This is a pilot county located at the junction of the Taiyi Mountains and the Jiaowei Plain. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and is a large mountainous area with undulating hills from the south to the east. There are several valley-like basins, in the west, central and northern parts, which are large wavy plains. They belong to the Weihe Plain in the south of the Jiaolai Alluvial Plain, with low and gentle hills on its edge.

Mountains, hills and basins in the territory account for nearly 60% of the total area. Plains can only account for about 30%, and the remaining are depressions and lakes.

It is impossible for Zhao Gou to place all pilot counties in Huairen County. Zhucheng is one of the rich places like Wanqiu County.

Zhang Xiaochun rode on the back of a Sichuan horse running through the mountain road, staggeringly walking on the rugged mountain road.

Songbai Township is one of the four townships southwest of Zhucheng. It is completely buried in a undulating hilly hills. This is not the first time Zhang Xiaochun has been here. He has been here once when Zhucheng was turned into a pilot county.

As the appeasement envoy of Jingdong East Road, he is not a mediocre official who just live a mediocre life. Although his experience of being captured made his resume a little less glorious, he took the central government's important position. But thinking about the fate of Wang Bing and others, what else is he not satisfied with?

A small village is hidden between the cracks between two mountains and rivers. The cold wind blows by, the mountains are filled with light and trees are dead branches, and the small village with smoke rising from cooking is a bit conspicuous.

This is Xiaoping Village, one of the more than 70 mountain villages under Songbai Country.

When Zhang Xiaochun arrived last time, the mountains were still green, but the people's lives were not at all alive. Now, looking at the terraced fields opened near the small mountain village, a kind of joy came from the heart.

"Rare, rare." Such a mountain terraced field is soaked in the hard work of the people.

At the same time, the fact that these terraces can be so neatly and neatly demonstrates the strong control of the people here. The so-called government orders are clear and the officials and the people are united in their hearts is really much better than before.

Zhang Xiaochun, who is over fifty years old, sighed softly.

He was very concerned about the current scene, because if the performance of this pilot county was excellent, the government would inevitably increase its implementation in the next step. The emperor on the dragon throne is different from Emperor Renzong and Emperor Shenzong, which is not an ordinary iron fist.

He wanted to implement a new policy, but no one in the world could beat him under the edge of the sword.

Zhang Xiaochun didn't want to go home early to retire, so he could only work with the times.

Although sometimes when he wakes up, he still feels that the world is still like the world in the past. After all, it is the experience and feelings of most of his life. How can he forget it by saying that forgetting it?
