Chapter 1898 Mutual Benefit
After the voucher was printed, Han Yi officially published specific information on voucher in the Datang Daily and the Aristocratic Daily, mainly to give the people a basic understanding of voucher and know how to prevent counterfeiting.
In the past, it was not published in the Aristocratic Daily, but the Aristocratic Daily was very popular recently. The topic of business and business has caused active discussions among all classes. Now, the Shandong Aristocratic League is full of confidence. They require the court's policies and the Aristocratic Daily has the right to publish it. Everyone is private, so why are they always posted on the Tang Daily?
Han Yi also agreed. Anyway, the two companies are not on the same route. They each have stable customers, and there is actually very little competition between the two sides.
But whether it issuing vouchers or building in the city, it is actually the same purpose, and this purpose is to stimulate the economy.
However, there is a group that used to be consumed very little, and this group is the official class.
In ancient times, self-sufficiency was emphasized, and officials were actually the same. Although these officials knew nothing and would become officials, the salaries of officials in the past were really food, drink, defecation, sleep and travel, and even women, including all of them. Especially those high-ranking officials, they not only had no need to buy anything, but also bought some of the court's handouts to the market. Of course, there was no way to buy anything in the market at that time, but they were all very rich people, and their salaries were also very stable.
If this group of people can be liberated, then it will be amazing for the Chang'an market!
Therefore, after the Ministry of Revenue statistics were completed, Han Yi's first thing was to pay his salary, and he would also pay his monthly salary in a unified manner in the future.
Moreover, after the reform, whether it was a clerk or an official, the Ministry of Revenue received a salary, and a special agency for paying salary was established.
The person who paid the salary also changed from officials to groups of women, which was to prevent the superior from deducting the salary of subordinates and to make a fortune from the Ministry of Revenue officials.
These women just pay according to the list.
Each official has a salary book, receives a salary once, stamps a seal, and signs a name once.
Officials are also very excited about this.
On the afternoon of that day, officials lined up in a neat line at a window of the Ministry of Revenue, because tomorrow was just a day off, and everyone wanted to receive their salary today and be able to go out for fun tomorrow.
"Cen is for the job, Cen is for the job."
I saw a middle-aged man in a red robe and slightly fat body waved to a tall and thin man and shouted.
"I dare to ask what happened to Qin Zhongcheng?"
"Where are you receiving your salary?"
"Um."
"Take it a look."
Na Cen hesitated for a moment, and took out a stack of vouchers from his arms.
The surrounding officials immediately surrounded him.
"This voucher is really as exquisite as the rumor. If it is enlarged, it can be sold as a painting."
"Yes! This voucher is so beautiful."
“How much money is here?”
"My salary is thirty steads, forty steads, forty steads, seven steads, and three cents."
"Han Yi is not a businessman, he is really good at settle accounts."
"How do you say this?"
"Hey! Can't you tell me that? Each of us has a share of the salary. At that time, I was dizzy when I saw my own salary. The Ministry of Revenue said that it was based on the previous salary. If we were to calculate it, we wouldn't calculate it. Can we say that the Ministry of Revenue is not accurate?"
"Yes, alas... In short, only Han Yi is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and he can only take advantage of us."
"After this, you still say what you do. In the past, thirty jin of money had to be towed by a car, but now, we don't have to call the servants to come, we can get it ourselves."
"That's right, it's really convenient to hold this voucher."
"Convenience is convenience, but I'm afraid of losing it. If you put this voucher in your arms, you don't feel anything. If it's a copper coin, at least it can feel heavy. I have to cover it with my hands to be at ease."
"Ha ha......!"
"You said, is this voucher really like that copper coin? Can you buy anything?"
"I just received it, so I don't know very well. Why don't we go to East City to take a walk together later."
"Okay...but...Neizi asked me to put the money back first to avoid it. I will go home first and then take some out. We have a good meal on Yuelou.
......
At the same time, the Jinxing Company has been squeezed out by merchants.
They need this voucher more urgently than officials, because they don’t have cents and yuan in their hands, but they have set new prices. The emergence of “cents” has made the prices more flexible and more valuable. Because the price of the currency has risen to the extreme, the face value of this penny is too large, so he needs this “cent” very much, but they dare not launch it without getting the voucher. If it is launched, people can’t find money when they come to consume!
However, officials are generally more conservative because they are all Confucian and are always full of distrust of new things. However, the court only issues vouchers, and they cannot refuse them. Holding a piece of paper and a bag of rice feels different.
Moreover, the court will send money in the future, including clothes, shoes and socks, all of which have been converted into currency, so we can only buy it.
All factors add up and they urgently need to consume.
Therefore, after they received their salary, they went directly to the market to check out what they needed at home and bought them first.
The Tang Dynasty has always been a high salary to support integrity, and middle- and low-level officials are also very rich. They are the middle class and should have been the main consumer force, but they were all self-sufficient and did not show it.
This holiday, the entire market was booming, including the new market in the suburbs. Many officials directly took their servants and pushed carts to sweep goods.
It happened that the economy was in a downturn before, and the productivity of merchants increased again. The goods were sufficient and not very expensive, mainly because the currency is more valuable now.
This is simply a match made by heaven. One needs to be bought and the other needs to be sold.
North Lane.
"Brother Xiaopang, Brother Xiaopang."
I saw a young man in his twenties running to the backyard of Beixiang excitedly.
Before he finished speaking, Brother Xiong ran out in panic, dragging a pair of slippers, "Shh... My wife just slept, so you whispered a little."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"What's up?"
"We don't have any goods?"
Brother Xiong was stunned for a while and lamented, "I have no choice but to do this. Our workshops are all in Lingnan area, so we can only wait for a few more months."
Xiaopang looks honest, but he is definitely not stupid. In fact, the second batch of canned food arrived a month ago, but he covered it and didn't send it, just waiting for this wave of orgasm.
As a result, it was sold out in three days. His canned fruits were simply a treasure in Chang'an. Although the price was absolutely cheap, so many people bought them. Three years ago, who would have thought that he could eat lychees in Chang'an and that there were many noble people in Chang'an that they would not have the money.
The young man said, "But Brother Xiaopang, it's not OK to continue like this. People have something to do every day, but our people only do it for a few days in a few months, and then they have nothing to do."
If other businessmen heard this, they would probably beat people. In just a few days, they would make money that others would not make in a year.
Brother Xiong scratched his fat cheeks and said, "Then what are you doing?"
"Let's just do it more?"
"That's true." Brother Xiong blinked and said, "It's so simple, why didn't I think it was. OK, please let Brother Hong go to the Yuan family and let's get a few more ships."
"Hey! I'm going. What should we do this afternoon? Everyone is still sitting in the store."
Brother Xiong waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days. Go to the first floor to have a good meal in the afternoon."
“The first floor was full in the morning.”
"Wanfu Tower, where is the moon Tower?"
“It’s all full.”
"Then --- Then you order some dishes and find a place to eat."
"Okay, Brother Xiaopang, are you going?"
"I won't go anymore, I still have to cook for my wife at home."
The guy looked at Brother Xiong blankly. With your value, do you still need to cook by yourself?
.....
The market is so hot, but Han Yi did not appear in the market, because when he reached the first step, he didn't need to look at it, and he knew what the situation was. Instead, he often went to the market to observe it before.
Today he and Zhang Daxiang went to the agricultural area in the southern suburbs to inspect.
"Shangshu Ling, look, this entire field was once a vocational field. Because these fields were all on the edge of the Wei River, it can be said to be one of the best farmlands in Chang'an, so these fields were once the prime minister, and the fields of the uncle and Li Yifu were all here."
Zhang Daxiang pointed to the endless farmland in front of her and introduced to Han Yi.
Han Yi looked at him and smiled, "Are they all from the court?"
"Of course yes."
Zhang Daxiang said immediately.
Han Yi said: "I founded the Tang Dynasty and took wastelands into state ownership, but with such fertile land, how could there be no people around me, and they were all kept for the court."
Zhang Daxiang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Some fields were from the common people before... You know who Li Yi Mansion is... Shangshu Ling, you don't plan to return all these lands, right?"
"Of course not. Our Tang Dynasty is now speaking about contracts, not about favors. If you want to pay back, you probably have to give it to the people." Han Yi shook his head and said, "But we can't do anything like before, such as tenant farmers and renting grain. This practice is really backward. We must implement the employment system and send money to the people. As for the grain collected from these fields, it is all included in the treasury and used to close the warehouse. After all, Chang'an lacks grain and has to prepare for it. However, the Ministry of Revenue wants to calculate the number of this acre for me. It must be sufficient grain every year to be stored, and the wages of the farmers hired are distributed uniformly by the Ministry of Revenue. I don't want anyone to make profits. Now our Ministry of Revenue has a heavy responsibility, and everyone is watching, so we can't make any mistakes."
Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "I understand."
Just now, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Han, Brother Zhang."
Han Yi, Zhang Daxiang turned his head and said, "It seems to be Qu Benxin."
When Qu Benxin came to him, Han Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, what a coincidence!"
Qu Benxin nodded with a smile and asked again: "Brother Han, why are you here?"
"A little business, so come and have a look." Han Yi just said a little perfunctory and asked again: "Why are you here?"
Qu Benxin hurriedly said, "I happened to take people to send food to the workshop of Liberty and Beauty, passing by here."
Zhang Daxiang smiled and said, "Brother Qu, are you going to send food in this identity?"
Qu Benxin smiled and said, "It just so happened that my family's contract with the food supply of Freedom Beauty has expired. I'll talk about the renewal."
Those workshops are made of rice, which is also the idea that Han Yi gave them. It is much more cost-effective to make food. If the workshops are not included, employees have to buy grain, and the grain price will definitely rise. Once the wages cannot meet the basic needs of workers, the wages will definitely increase. After all, the wool will come from the sheep. This grain is indispensable. But if the workshops are united and go to the landlord to negotiate with the grain together, there will be capital negotiations. The price will be relatively cheaper and the grain price will not soar.
Han Yi smiled and said, "The food prices have risen a lot now, this is a good time to negotiate!"
"It's thanks to Brother Han. When Brother Han told us about this, to be honest, we didn't believe it. We never thought it would be realized so soon." Qu Benxin smiled so much that his eyes were almost gone. The landlords have made a lot of money now, and the little tax is no longer within their considerations. He smiled and said, "But now that the contract is established, the court will also make a profit."
Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "Mutual benefit, mutual benefit." nt
