Chapter 831 Obstruction in Accepting Banknotes

“Give me Hongwu Tongbao, I don’t want paper.”

My family has thirty acres of land for twelve people. The head of the family looked at the paper given by the merchant and his eyes widened.

Twenty acres of his family’s farmland are middle fields, and ten acres are upper fields. The average yield per mu of green cabbage is 4,300 kilograms, 300 cents, and thirty acres has nine strings.

In the past, after planting rice, in addition to food for the family, and paying the land tax, there was only a little leftover, which could be exchanged for daily necessities, which would be enough to survive. Fortunately, there was a vegetable field, chickens, and two pigs.

The population is large, and they do some work for others. They are not enough compared to the previous ones, but more than the inferior ones. The war is over, and they expect to live a good life, but they encounter floods.

There are experts in the court who knew it in advance. He took his family and ran with the government. Everything was dismantled, and the water

Then they asked him to grow green cabbage heads, which produced so much per acre. , more cost-effective than planting rice, and then continue planting rice without delay.

When you are waiting to make money, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the paper you are given is. It can be exchanged for money

“It’s a treasure note. Our Ming Dynasty’s treasure note is the same as money. At your age, I have never seen Yuan Dynasty treasure banknotes. Everyone in Nanjing exchanges them. They are more convenient to use than copper coins."

The businessman said patiently that he would bring the money he exchanged, otherwise he would have to bring copper coins or silver. Jialiang, also called and cut, is very troublesome.

People are unwilling to ask for money and have no way to spend it, so they buy salt, tools, or a knife of meat when the pig cannot be killed. How can the money pay for a small lump of money?

"Let me take a look at the treasure banknotes." When this person heard that it was a treasure banknote, he understood that it was mandatory to issue it. He took it over and looked at it. He didn't know the words, so he felt the paper and then looked at the picture.

"The treasure banknotes of the Yuan Dynasty are not like this. This is a painting. It feels good to the touch. It is impossible for us to paint it, and it is difficult for others to estimate it. How much does it cost?"

He first admitted that banknotes are good and counterfeiting is not easy. He doesn’t have that ability anyway, but he still doesn’t trust them.

"Uncle Fourth, I know. Don't worry, take it. I'll teach you how to read later. I'll give you the money according to the formula. I won't give you the usual denominations. It's not easy to spend. The most are one, two, and five cents." , Ten coins, twenty coins are rare."

Someone said something next to him, this man was wearing a military uniform.

"Isn't this our eldest nephew? Xiaoqi, you little melon boy is back, has your mother come back?"

This person immediately recognized this sister's child, a soldier. , my sister married far away, but she was actually bought by someone else.

Then the unknown dynasty came, and my sister came back with her family to visit, burned a piece of paper on her parents’ graves, and then brought some local products from her hometown. go back.

It happened the year before last. I didn’t expect to meet again. Where is my sister?

“Uncle Fourth, I came here to teach you how to read. I moved, and my father and my mother went to deal with it. Tianfu, not Taipingfu.

You can take the money. Your Majesty gave it as a guarantee. You can exchange it for gold and silver at will.

I remember that our family raised it. Pig, I carveIf you want to apply and come back, others will draw lots, and I will give the good lot to my comrades.

I went back to my parents' house and helped you raise pigs. I learned a lot of skills. I was busy before and my mother asked me to bring things but didn't send them over. You just happened to come over. I'll go find you tomorrow. ”

The soldier was very happy. He talked about his situation, gave up the lot close to home, and ran back to Sichuan.

“How is my sister?” The mother-in-law finally remembered something important.

"My mother is doing well. I make a lot of money. Your Majesty will reward me. Xiaqiu Village will also give me money. I will eat meat every meal in the military camp. Look, I am strong and strong."

"That's good. We brothers also said that after selling the cabbage heads, we will have someone send some of our things to my sister. Thanks to this year"

The nephew and uncle started chatting, and the locals around him came to listen. Businessman, don’t be in a hurry. You can speak first. If you explain clearly, I can pay with treasure money.

"Xiao Qi, watch it for us. , Stop it, you don’t know our Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes, please, it’s beautifully painted. ”

This fourth uncle accepted the treasure money, and there were people from the Yamen beside him to vouch for it.

Other people around also agreed. Qiu Cun's ability.

Xiaqiu Village has bombed all the dangerous places in the Yangtze River, at least there are no reefs. I heard that this year, no, last year's flood was what the experts of Xiaqiu Village said.

Moreover, Qing Caitou Xiaqiu Village said that they did not need to pay back the food given by the court before, so they could live a good life.

Everyone began to temporarily learn the denominations of treasure banknotes. Those with such length were worth one penny. Those who look like that are biliterate

The disaster-stricken areas in Sichuan were like this. In other places, officers and soldiers in the past also worked hard to teach the people, teaching them to recognize money first, and then buy their things, or let them use copper coins Exchange for gold and silver.

This is where the team can go now. There are still teams on the way, and it will take some time to arrive.

When the people heard that it was the army, they still wanted to go. They need to teach literacy, bring various powdered medicines, and don’t eat local food for free, nor give them money.

Most people agree that a few people have evil intentions, such as the village bullies. They are afraid and only want to pay. They can find ways to stop it.

Especially the village chiefs, they will tell lies to the villagers, smear others, and make up things to scare people.

They will say it is false. , not a real Ming Dynasty sergeant, who came here to tie up people and beat them to death.

So you are right, all such people are caught and beaten to death, and the army does not. If you get used to their mistakes, let's clean up the trouble.

The others immediately became honest. Everyone in the army could actually guess it. The sergeants used to carry weapons and would help with hunting.

No. What kind of protected animals are there? We should hunt whatever is edible. The common people also guide us in hunting wild boars, wolves, leopards, tigers, and bears.

Sparrows are not used. The common people can use baskets to trap sparrows themselves and wrap them up after killing them. When the mud is baked, the feathers will fall off.

"The braised sparrows are delicious, fried and eaten at night, and drunk."

Zhu Yuanzhang is eating sparrows, which are not as fat as those in autumn. In autumn, sparrows have to spend the winter, so they eat hard, and their physiology also requires them to start accumulating fat. .

The sparrows after spring are also working hard to eat and need to reproduce. Then they are caught by the people, especially half-grown children, who make their own slingshots to shoot.

The current slingshot is a bow with arrows. It does not shoot arrows, but shoots stones. It does not require such a long range. Thirty steps is enough.

Children can shoot accurately. They can draw a bow and shoot stones within 20 meters, hitting where they point. They don’t know any calculation methods such as wind direction and gravity. Even if they are proficient, they don’t even aim, and just hit by feeling. .

In the past, they thought of ways to roast and eat them after hunting, but now they sell them in the market. Ten of them cost a penny, no matter how small they are, they are still meat. The meat of ten is always more expensive than the same weight of rice.

The purchasers in Xiaqiu Village saw the products and boiled them with hot water. They asked palace maids and eunuchs to help them remove their hair, and they had braised sparrows for lunch.

"Your Majesty, there is too much oil in the teppanyaki bar." The mayor suggested that most ministers would not say this, including Guanglu Temple.

"Sure, eat in the village. The village arranges it. The maids and eunuchs are most willing to come to the village. They can always eat good food. When they go back, they eat it secretly. We pretend not to see it."
