Because the agency right is in Yangzhou and he has a large number of shops in Yangzhou, he directly exchanged 1 consistent paper money.

"I also exchange for 1 guan."

Shopkeeper Zhang from Suzhou also nodded.

Although the rest of the agents are not in Yangzhou and Suzhou, they still have other businesses and many shops in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

So I exchanged some more or less, basically around a few hundred guan.

If it was before, 1 wen weighed a full six catties, and 1 pen weighed more than 6000 catties, which was very heavy and difficult to transport.

But now, even a piece of paper money with a denomination of 1 Wen is only about 1 catties.

If there are more paper money in denominations of 5 Wen, 20 Wen, and 50 Wen, the weight will be lighter.

The most important thing is that it is easy to carry. There is no need to use a bullock cart to pull copper coins. Now you can take it away with just a cloth bag.

Of course, the amount exchanged by these shopkeepers is very large, so people still need to come and move them.

However, for customers who exchange paper money in large amounts, the bank provides free shipping services.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will help you transport it in person to ensure labor-saving and safety.

This service made these shopkeepers feel very at ease. After all, the soldiers of Shenji Battalion are the soldiers of His Royal Highness King Wu, so they are invincible in Yangzhou and Suzhou!

Who would dare to steal money from the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion?

It's too long, isn't it?

After the paper money was delivered safely, a shopkeeper took out some money and wanted to express his gratitude.

But they were all rejected by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. The bank would give them some rewards, and there was no need to take other people's money.

After the shopkeepers received the money, they began to distribute the money to various shops, and each shop distributed a lot.

Among them, the denomination of 1 ren is the most, and there are also many denominations of 5 ren and 10 ren.

In short, before evening, a large number of shops in Yangzhou and Suzhou had paper money reserves.

As long as someone comes to buy something and wants to use paper money for change, they can also use paper money for change.

When others use paper money to pay, they will also receive paper money, and understand the anti-counterfeiting features of paper money, and know how to distinguish real and fake paper money.

Soon, the time came to the second day.

Early in the morning, Datang Daily was published, and everyone saw the newspaper soon.

"From now on, Yangzhou and Suzhou have entered the era of paper money!"

"Most shops in Yangzhou and Suzhou already support paper money transactions. You can use paper money for consumption, or you can ask shops to use paper money for change."

"The Bureau of Commerce issued a regulation that from now on, all stores in Yangzhou and Suzhou cannot refuse paper money for any reason, otherwise their business license will be revoked!"

"The Commerce Bureau welcomes everyone to report shops that refuse to accept paper money. Anyone who confirms that the reported information is true will be rewarded."

"The bank reminds that from now on, everyone can go to the bank to exchange paper money, or exchange paper money for copper money, which is quite a bit."

"And a warm reminder that the anti-counterfeiting features of paper money mainly include"

"His Royal Highness Wu suggested that paper money is light and easy to use, and can better promote the economic development of Tang Dynasty. I hope everyone can support paper money and use paper money more."

"And His Royal Highness Wu Wang issued a strict order that anyone who prints fake money privately will be implicated in the nine clans if he is found to be killed without mercy!"

A lot of important information was mentioned in the newspaper. After reading the newspaper, everyone immediately started discussing it enthusiastically.

"Most of the shops actually support paper money transactions?"

"It seems that those shopkeepers went to the Governor's Mansion yesterday for this purpose."

"Any shop that refuses to accept paper money will have its business license revoked, which is a very serious punishment for a shop!"

"Reports are still welcome? Once the report is true, there will be rewards? Then I will go to each house with paper money to ask."

"Hahaha, I wish I had found a new way to make money."

"From today onwards, you can go to the bank to exchange paper money, and I will also exchange some paper money. Paper money is indeed much lighter than copper money."

"Yes, anyway, the bank said that copper money can be exchanged for paper money, and paper money can be exchanged for copper money. There are quite a lot of pennies. If it is not easy to use, the big deal is to exchange it back."

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Wu said it himself, and there must be no falsehood."

"I still have to learn how to distinguish real and fake paper money, so as not to receive fake money."

"Who dares to print fake money? Once discovered, it will be a crime of killing without mercy and implicating the nine clans."

After seeing each piece of news in the newspaper, everyone talked about each piece of news with great interest, and there were a lot of discussions.

However, after reading these few news items, everyone's resistance to paper money and acceptance have increased a lot.

After all, all shops accept paper money, which means that the effect of buying things with paper money and copper money is the same.

As much as copper money can buy, as much as paper money can buy, there is no difference in value.

Moreover, paper money can be exchanged into copper coins at the bank at any time, which undoubtedly dispels everyone's worries.

In addition, Li Ke personally guarantors the paper money platform, and everyone's acceptance of paper money is rapidly increasing.

Many shops hadn't been notified at first, but after reading the newspaper, they were also very frightened.

Immediately explain to all the shops under his name that paper money must not be rejected for any reason.

Otherwise, if the business license is revoked, it would be too miserable!

Anyway, those big shopkeepers have already received paper money, so there should be no problem for them to collect paper money.

Besides, His Royal Highness Wu Wang also said that if you don't like to use paper money, you can go to the bank to exchange it.

So they thought that after receiving the paper money, they can just take it to the bank to exchange it, and it doesn't bother them.

Anyway, when you receive copper coins, you still have to take them to the bank for deposit.

After reading the newspaper, many people ran to the bank, intending to exchange some paper money for use.

However, when everyone came to the gates of Yangzhou Branch and Suzhou Branch, they found that the gates of the banks were already crowded with people!

Everyone is very curious about paper money, and they all want to try something new.

Moreover, there are two teams at the gate of the bank, one is to exchange paper money directly from the passbook.

One is to exchange copper coins for paper money.

Exchanging paper money from a passbook, after all, requires slightly more steps and takes longer.

So the line here is extremely long.

Although there were as many people who directly exchanged copper coins for paper money, but after all, the exchange speed was fast, so it seemed that the queue was not that long.

"¨. This is 50 Wen, and I want to exchange it for 50 Wen paper money."

One person took out 50 copper coins with some anticipation and handed them to the bank staff.

After the staff took an inventory, they nodded to the other person next to them.

The man directly handed over 50 pieces of paper money with a denomination of 1 penny counted in advance to the people who exchanged money.

The people took the paper money, counted it themselves, and after confirming that it was 50, they left the bank expectantly.

He came directly to a Chen's shop.

Recently, the soap at home ran out. Before going out, my wife specifically asked him to bring a bar of soap when he went back.

So he thought about using paper money for consumption to see if it could really be used, and whether it was really worth the same as copper money.

"My guest, what would you like to order?"

The salesman of Chen's shop asked him politely.

"Do you accept paper money?"

He first asked in advance if he would accept paper money.

If he didn't accept it, he would have to turn around and go to the Commercial Bureau now.

After all, it was said in the newspaper that there is a reward for reporting!

"Of course, our Chen's shop resolutely responded to His Highness King Wu's call, and all shops in Yangzhou accept paper money!"

The salesman has obviously undergone emergency training, and there is a set of rhetoric.

"Then bring me a bar of soap."

Hearing this, he nodded and took out 50 pieces of paper money with a denomination of 1 Wen.

Soap without fragrance is 50 Wen.

"Your soap, please put away."

The salesman took his 50 pieces of paper money, quickly counted them, and briefly identified the authenticity.

After finding that there was no problem with the amount and the paper money, he put it away, then took out a piece of well-packed soap and handed it to him.

Seeing that the soap bought with paper money was the same as the soap bought with copper coins, he was finally convinced in his heart.

Paper money is really money, it can really replace copper money and become a new kind of money!

Not only him, in Yangzhou and Suzhou today, countless people in countless places are experiencing the same thing as him.

Chapter 236 Marry Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er?Back to Chang'an City for the New Year!

After everyone exchanged the paper money at the bank, they immediately took it to various shops to spend.

At the beginning, everyone was a little worried about whether the paper money could be used.

Even if it is used up, is it worth the same as copper coins?

However, when everyone used paper money to buy the same things as copper coins, all worries about paper money disappeared in an instant.

"You can actually buy something!"

"Besides, what you can buy with 1 penny of copper money, you can also buy with 1 penny of paper money, so you don't need a penny at all!"

"What His Highness King Wu said is true, the denomination of paper money is exactly equal to copper money!"

"Paper money is more convenient than copper money, one by one, light and beautiful."

"That's right. In the past, 50 Wen were piled up in piles, but now a piece of 1 Wen paper money will do."

"Buy anything you want, and you can get change for the rest. It's very convenient. I will use paper money in the future."

After using the paper money consumption experience, everyone was very satisfied with the paper money immediately, and discussed it enthusiastically.

Although it was only used once, everyone clearly felt that it was different from copper coins.

After all, as long as paper money is guaranteed to be valuable and can be used, the advantages of paper money will be brought into full play.

People are more and more accepting of paper money, and it is only natural that they have more and more trust in paper money.

In addition to ordinary people, those merchants also discovered that paper money can really be exchanged for copper money in banks.

And if you take paper money to deposit in the bank, you can directly deposit a lot of money in the passbook, which is no different from copper money!

This undoubtedly reassured the merchants. Before, they were worried that the paper money they collected would lose money, but now it seems that there is no difference from before.

Not only that, they are much more relaxed, and it is more convenient when collecting and counting money.

Especially in the series of steps of summarizing the money and then transporting it to the bank, it has reduced too much trouble.

In the past, many people were required to use ox carts to drag money, and they had to be protected by special personnel.

But now, just a few sacks can be filled without knowing how much money, one person is riding a tricycle, and one person is watching the sacks from behind.

Only two people can collect the collected money together, and then deposit it in the bank with a few sacks together.

Even for some small transactions, 1 now only needs to take out a wad of paper money.

For example, for a business of several hundred guan, it was still quite troublesome to say that there were thousands of catties of copper coins in the past.

Now a few hundred pieces of paper money with a consistent denomination will do, and it is estimated to be about a few catties, which is much lighter.

After a period of time, merchants and common people in Yangzhou and Suzhou gradually got used to using paper money.

At least they are willing to try to use paper money, and will not say that they have any resistance and distrust of paper money.

The two banks, Yangzhou Branch and Suzhou Branch, exchange a large amount of paper money every day, and at the same time get back a large amount of copper money.
