"It's only free for one month! If it's over this month, don't you have to charge?" in Chang'an City, people continue to discuss the bank with interest, and an idle man regrets.
"It's not enough to be free for a month, but if you want to save money, it's not impossible. If you use this method, you don't have to pay the cost of one hundred."
"You can save money!" the crowd couldn't help but say. Although the rate of one hundred is not high, they can save money. Naturally, they are willing to.
The merchant in black nodded and said, "in addition to the flying money business of using bills of exchange, there is a more magical thing called silver notes!"
"Silver ticket?" the people looked at each other. They only heard of silver and never heard of silver ticket.
"Banks are built in Mojia village. Naturally, they only accept silver. Silver notes are bills issued by the Bank of Mojia village. There are only three kinds of silver notes, namely one or two silver notes, one money silver notes and one cent silver notes. These three kinds of silver notes are only used in Mojia village now, but the Bank of Mojia village will also accept them. If you want to save the cost of flying money, you only need to exchange 1000 one or two silver notes in Mojia village and take them with you A thousand or two silver notes can be exchanged at the bank in Luoyang City, "said the merchant in black proudly.
"It can still be like this. In this way, the flying money business of Mojia village bank will not be in vain." they were surprised that if everyone took silver tickets to Luoyang, Mojia village bank will no longer be able to make profits with flying money.
The black merchant explained as like as two peas: "flying money needs to be used to record your seal and secret language with a bill of exchange. No one can take it away from you, even if it is lost. It is not the same. Silver ticket is not the same. All of them are identical. If they lose, who will admit it is yours, so it is safe to say that the bill is the safest."
"So it is!" the people suddenly realized that the nature of the silver note here is the same as that of the silver. If they lose it, they will never have it again.
"But it's good to have white silver in hand. Who is willing to exchange silver for a piece of paper?"
"A piece of paper, if you see the silver note, you will know how wrong it is. Look! This is the silver note!" the merchant in black proudly raised three beautifully printed papers with one or two, one money and one minute written on them respectively. With a gentle swing, the silver note suddenly made a pleasant sound.
"If you change the silver note, you won't be afraid of your white silver floating!" many people exclaimed. The world has long been used to white silver. Who can think that a thin piece of paper can also be used as silver.
The merchant in black disagreed and said, "as long as I go to the Bank of Mojia village, I can immediately change back the white silver. Besides, this is a money ticket invented by Mojia Zi. What's to worry about? Will Mojia Zi still care about my money and a penny.
Everyone was stunned. Yes, if other people are just talking nonsense, don't want others to exchange money for paper. Unlike mojiazi, since mojiazi led mojiazi into Chang'an City, they have created one wealth miracle after another. Mojiazi has become the first village in the world, and mojiazi has a promise. How can he deceive people's money
Moreover, Mohist expressly stipulates that silver tickets can only be used in Mohist village. As long as they leave Mohist village, I'm afraid only Mohist village stores and Mohist village banks will accept them, and no one forces them to exchange them.
"Mozi is really cunning!" the Confucian suddenly realized.
Among the crowd, there are many fans of Mohism. They are dissatisfied and say, "be careful, you Confucian. Don't let misfortune come out of your mouth."
The Confucian student snorted coldly, but his tone was a little relaxed and said: "Mojiazi divided silver notes into one, two, one and three kinds, not to exchange silver, but to see the disadvantage of heavy copper money. One or two silver notes can be exchanged for consistent money, which is a few kilograms, and only need a piece of paper as thin as cicada wings. One silver note can be exchanged for 100 Wen, and one silver note can be exchanged for 10 Wen. Mojiazi has a good calculation, and the people of Mojia village will go out in the future , just take a few thin silver tickets and a few copper coins. How convenient it will be. "
Even if his prejudice against Mohist school was great, he could not help being shocked by Merton's idea. In this era, he would almost go on the street with a heavy money bag, which was very heavy and inconvenient.
In Mojia village, where silver tickets are implemented, people's lives will change dramatically. In Mojia village, people can easily buy any goods with only a few silver tickets, and it is very easy to find change. These silver tickets can be said to perfectly solve the disadvantage of copper money.
"And it is said that if you want to trade with Mojia village in the future, you must use silver tickets." the merchant in Black said that he changed some silver tickets because he needed to buy goods from Mojia village.
"Isn't it a piece of paper? If I can print a silver note, I'll be rich!" said an idle man happily.
The merchant in black hummed coldly, "you think the ink family is a fool. The paper used to print the silver note is very exquisite, and even the most powerful paper shop can't make it. Let alone more than ten anti-counterfeiting methods on the silver note. Look at the gold thread, the watermark, the relief, and the ink. Which one is the secret skill with a price of thousands of gold. How can you easily crack it?"
The merchant in black generously circulated the silver tickets to the public. Many people circulated the three beautifully printed silver tickets. Looking at the unheard of anti-counterfeiting technology, they felt more secure in their hearts.
"I'm afraid it's a hundred times more difficult to forge a silver note than to fake it!" a man of insight smacked his tongue.
Even the most fastidious Confucian scholars have to admit that the silver tickets of Mojia Zi are really beautiful. As long as the silver tickets cannot be copied, Mojia village will be invincible.
Chang'an City and Luoyang city only took the silver note as a talk capital, or as a means to avoid the cost of the bill. However, in Mojia village, it caused an uproar.
"Pay!"
In the twinkling of an eye, it's the monthly salary payment time in Mojia village. This time can be said to be a great event in Mojia village. Not only the workers are happy, but also the businessmen in Mojia village are excited. Whenever Mojia village pays wages, their business is booming.
The wages of Mojia village are counted in Chang'an city. These workers have money and are naturally happy to spend.
"Li Tiezhu! The salary this month is one or two or three dollars!" with the cry of the foreman, a dark young man came forward happily.
People can't help but smack their tongue. It can be said that there are several high wages among the workers in Mojia village. Isn't it nearly fifteen liang of silver a year? I'm afraid it's enough to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside.
"This is the salary?" however, when the salary was sent to Li Tiezhu, Li Tiezhu suddenly changed his face.
"How is it paper?"
"Paper money can also be used as silver!"
……………………
Suddenly all the workers were in an uproar. All the time, the wages in Mojia village were paid in time, and the silver was very good. Who could have thought that this time, Mojia Zi changed the silver into paper money.
"This is a silver note! It was invented by the young master himself. Each one can be used as silver. You can take these silver notes to go shopping outside the shop or change them into real silver at the Mojia village bank." the foreman explained.
"Seriously?" the people doubted.
"That's natural. The young master can deceive you. Besides, not only you, but also I will receive silver tickets. In the future, Mojia village will issue silver tickets when it pays wages, and even the village head will no longer issue silver." the foreman said, to tell the truth, the foreman likes silver tickets very much when he pays wages. It's easy to carry and distribute them, In the past, he had a headache when he counted copper coins alone. Now he just needs to gently count a few silver notes of different denominations.
A group of workers accepted the silver ticket with skepticism. Some of them couldn't wait to go to the Bank of Mojia village to exchange it for silver. However, after all, the window was limited, and more people couldn't line up at all, so they had to take the silver ticket and stroll in the business District.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?" a worker asked, pointing to a beautiful dress.
"A penny!" said the shopkeeper in a loud voice.
"Do you accept the cashier's check?" the worker asked tentatively.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "of course, I took one or two silver tickets, but I can actually change one or two silver at the Bank of Mojia village, which is as good as white silver."
The reason why the shopkeeper agreed so happily is that yesterday, Li Yi, the village head of Mojia village, visited each merchant door to door to personally ensure that the silver tickets are true and effective and will be exchanged in full. Even if the merchant needs to pay rent or buy goods from Mojia village in the future, they also only accept silver tickets.
With Li Yi's guarantee, they naturally have no choice. Moreover, all the workers in Mojia village pay their wages with silver tickets. If they don't accept silver tickets, do they still do business!
After the first pile was sold with silver notes, more and more people began to use silver notes for transactions. Moreover, compared with cold and heavy silver, silver notes as thin as cicada wings are easier to change and carry. More and more people are aware of their convenience. Coupled with the guarantee of Mojia village bank, Silver notes soon became popular in Mojia village and quickly integrated into all aspects of villagers' life.
