"What? The Academy will no longer use copper coins and will use Tang Yuan instead? "
In the afternoon, the class teachers relayed Li Zexuan's message and the students were all shocked!
However, what shocked them even more was what happened next. Because right after that, the head teachers talked about Tang Yuan's unique characteristics that were difficult to imitate. This made the students even more interested in Tang Yuan!
"Damn! This Tang Yuan looks good and is easy to carry around. Who doesn't like it? After class, I'll immediately exchange all my money for Tang Yuan! "
Cheng Chumo laughed arrogantly after hearing that.
He could get hundreds of strings of cash from his family every month. Although he had a lot of money, he was starting to worry about where to put it. How to carry it around?
One must know that a hundred strings of cash was five to six hundred pounds!
Even if Cheng Chumo had martial arts and was stronger than others, he would not stupidly carry five to six hundred pounds of cash on his body every day!
The appearance of the Tang Yuan perfectly solved his problem. He no longer had to worry about having too much money!
"Haha! Chou Niu is right. The printing of the Tang Yuan is so exquisite and Yamachō is vouching for it. What's there to worry about? I have to exchange all my money for Tang Yuan! "
Actually, Li Zexuan did not need to take out a hundred thousand strings of cash as a deposit. He underestimated his influence among the students. His name, his reputation, and his reputation were far more valuable than a hundred thousand strings of cash!
In order to allow the students to exchange for Tang Yuan in time and not affect the students going home at night, only three classes were held in the afternoon before the break.
The students of the Yanhuang Academy immediately swarmed into the Yanhuang Bank. Most of these students were from wealthy families, and each of them had a weekly allowance of more than ten strings of coins. So when they exchanged for the Tang Yuan, each of them carried a big bag of copper coins!
"Little Ke, not bad! I heard that you came up with the idea of Tang Yuan. You're amazing! "
Li Tai also brought ten strings of cash to "join in the fun". He had no choice but to come. The Academy's cafeteria and grocery store had all stopped using Tang Yuan. If he did not come to exchange for some money, he would not be able to eat next week!
However, he couldn't carry any more copper coins. Ten coins was already his' upper limit '!
Li Ke was a martial artist, so he naturally carried more copper coins than Li Tai. There were about 20 strings of coins in total, and he was only carrying them with one hand. It seemed like he did not expend any effort at all. Hearing Li Tai's praise, Li Ke scratched his head with his other hand.
"Qingque, I did not come up with the idea of Tang Yuan. I only gave some suggestions. The design, printing, anti-counterfeiting, and the establishment of the Yanhuang Bank. They were all done by Yamachō! I dare not take credit for it! "
"Haha! Little Ke, why are you being so humble? No matter what, this Tang Yuan has solved a huge problem for me. In the future, I can casually bring a few hundred strings of coins with me when I go out.
"Nouveau riche" Cheng Chumo laughed arrogantly.
More than ten people came to the Yanhuang Bank today. Last year, Li Zexuan wanted to introduce a new type of mathematics to the whole country. So it was easy for Li Zexuan to recruit a large number of mathematics and bookkeeping experts for the bank. The bank was temporarily managed by his family's housekeeper, Wang Zhong. Li Zexuan planned to send Li Ke to the bank when he was almost done learning. After all, real knowledge comes from practice!
Even though there were a lot of students, there were more than a dozen queues. On average, each queue only had about fifty to sixty people. The people Li Zexuan had recruited for the bank were all old fellows. They were very experienced in counting money and keeping accounts. In just an hour, all the students had exchanged the copper coins they had brought with them into paper money!
Most of the students were exchanging for ten-tang jiao, fifty-tang jiao, hundred-tang jiao, and one-tang yuan. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the higher denominations, but that they couldn't carry so many copper coins. Many of the "rich second generation" or the "second generation of officials" had already made up their minds. During the weekends, they would definitely get their servants to bring a cart full of copper coins to exchange for Tang yuan. This way, they wouldn't have to come here every once in a while to exchange for Tang yuan!
Around 5 pm, the students who lived near the Academy carried their bags and returned home with their Tang Yuan. The peaceful Chang 'an City was about to be stirred up by the return of these students!
"Hao 'er, what are you carrying? It looks very nice! Oh, right, do you have enough money? If not, I'll give you some more. "
Guiyi Lane, Meng Wenhao's house.
After dinner, Meng Youliang said to his son.
The Meng Family was no longer what it used to be. When Meng Youliang returned from the sea, he was awarded the title of Eighth Grade Xuanjie Commandant and was rewarded with a lot of money. The Meng Family had completely changed from a Humble Class. As for his own son, Meng Youliang had high hopes for him. This was because he understood that his title of nobility was exchanged with his life, and there were many elements of luck involved. If the Meng family really wanted to rise from a humble family to a rich and prosperous family, they still had to rely on Meng Wenhao, the only "intellectual"!
"Father! I have enough money! "
Meng Wenhao could only helplessly respond to his father's doting. Then, he hesitated for a moment and took out a stack of 'banknotes' from his inner pocket. He stammered, "Oh right, Father, Mother, I've exchanged all of this month's expenses into Tang Yuan …"
"What? What's Tang Yuan? "
Meng Youliang asked with his eyes wide open.
"Father, Tang Yuan is a type of Yamachō's …"
In order to gain his family's understanding, Meng Wenhao had to repeat what their class teacher said in class. After he finished, he looked at his father hesitantly because he was afraid that Meng Youliang would get angry!
After all, although Tang Yuan had gained the trust of the students and teachers of the academy, it was hard to say if he could gain the trust of outsiders!
Father Meng did not look unhappy after hearing this. He took the two Tang Yuan notes from Meng Wenhao's hand and looked at them carefully for a while. Finally, he smacked his lips and said with a face full of emotion,
"Marquis Yong 'an's idea is good! With Tang Yuan, Wenhao, it will be very convenient for you to carry money in the future. You won't have to worry about running into bad people with too many copper coins! Tsk tsk, and this Tang Yuan printing is really beautiful. The Yamachō was right, other places can really copy it! Haha! "
Meng Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mother Meng say, "Husband, Hao 'er has exchanged copper coins for Tang Yuan. In the future, will he …"
"Tsk! What do you know? Don't interrupt, you woman! What kind of person is the Marquis Yong 'an? Why would he compete with the students? What he did will only benefit Hao 'er and the rest. There will be no harm! "
