"Hey! Boss, this Tang Yuan is quite good-looking! And it's convenient to use! The Capital is indeed the Capital. It's much more prosperous than Jiangnan! "
In the east of Chang 'an City, in a luxurious mansion, a young man in tight clothes said excitedly as he held the Tang Yuan he had just exchanged from the bank.
Judging from his words, this group of people should be from Jiangnan.
The old man in luxurious clothes opposite the young man had a reserved aura. Judging from his mannerisms, he was definitely someone who had been in a high position for a long time. However, he didn't put on airs in front of the young man. He smiled gently and said,
"Actually, Chang 'an City didn't have so many new tricks two years ago! It was only since last year that these things started to appear! Qiming, you guys have to practice hard. If our Wind Thunder Team can be promoted to a Division Two team, everyone will be rewarded with 50 strings of coins. If we can be promoted to a Division One team, everyone will be rewarded with 100 strings of coins. We'll let you guys have fun in Chang 'an City! "
It turned out that this was a team from Jiangnan.
Speaking of which, teams in this era weren't as formal as modern teams. There were club presidents, club managers, team coaches, and so on. Teams in this era usually only had one person who set up the team and 11 players. Many teams didn't even have substitutes. The players usually called the founder of the team "boss".
Overall, it was very different from modern football teams!
Recently, hundreds of teams had flocked to Chang 'an City. The "boss" and the players of the teams usually stayed in the inns in Chang' an City. However, this team was actually staying in such a luxurious mansion. It could be seen that the old man's wealth or status was definitely extraordinary!
"Hehe! Thank you, boss! But don't worry, boss. According to what I know, our Wind Thunder Team's strength in the entire South is definitely in the top ten, if not the top three. During the drawing of lots, unless we're extremely unlucky and are placed in the same group as all the strong teams, we'll definitely have a chance to advance to the knockout round! In the knockout round, we'll at least get a spot in a Division Two team! If we work harder, a Division One team will be within reach! "
A young man beside the old man laughed and said, "Haha! Sun Qiming, play well! If you play well, not only will my father reward you, but I'll also reward you handsomely! If you don't play well … "
"Qianjun, don't talk nonsense!"
Then, he looked at the young man named Sun Qiming and said with a smile, "Qiming, you don't have to worry about anything. Just do your best! My Jiangnan's Zheng Clan is not a cold-blooded clan that doesn't care about feelings! "
Sun Qiming cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Boss! Qiming and our brothers will serve the Zheng Family to the death! "
"Yes! Go! "
The old man waved his hand and smiled.
.....
On the first day that Tang Yuan was "online," the exchange volume was extremely high. The local citizens of Chang 'an were especially active in exchanging. The teams and businessmen from other places felt that they were weaker than the others when they went out to eat or drink, and they had to carry a heavy bag of copper coins when they saw other people paying with just a few pieces of paper. In less than two days, they were all swayed and exchanged a portion of their copper coins for Tang Yuan!
This Tang Yuan craze quickly spread to the counties near Chang 'an City. Lantian County was the first county to announce that all businesses in the county would support Tang Yuan settlement. Xinfeng County followed closely behind and announced that they could use Tang Yuan. The remaining counties followed suit. Within three days, the twenty-two counties under the jurisdiction of the imperial government had all completed the process of popularizing Tang Yuan!
At the headquarters of the Yanhuang Bank, they were also intensively expanding. First, Li Zexuan requested Xiao Yu to mobilize seventy-two officials who were proficient in the new mathematics from the Ministry of Revenue to strengthen the "grassroots cadres" of the Yanhuang Bank.
After that, he set up branches of the Yanhuang Bank in the counties that had announced their support for Tang Yuan settlement. The twenty-two counties all started a recruitment frenzy. In a short period of time, those who knew how to keep accounts, especially those who knew the new mathematics, all became "hot commodities" and were recruited into the branches of the bank. After some training, they were officially "on the job"!
"Your Highness, according to what I know, the expansion of the Yanhuang Bank is too fast these days! I estimate that the Tang Yuan they exchange every day is worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins! "
In a courtyard of the Honglu Temple, Yoko Ono bowed and said.
On the table in front of the big brother on the mountain back, there was a small pile of Tang Yuan of different denominations. At this moment, he was holding a hundred yuan note and looking at it carefully. Hearing this, he sighed and said,
"Too smart! This Tang Yuan was truly too ingenious! The paper, the pattern, the color, the feel, and the anti-counterfeiting seal, all of them are heavenly workmanship! The technology that the Marquis of Yong 'an's workshop has is too incredible! If only the Wo Nation also had such an advanced workshop, how good would that be ~! "
Yoko Ono's eyes flashed with a trace of fanaticism. He said loudly, "I believe that Your Highness will definitely be able to let the Wo Nation's citizens live a good life like the Tang Empire in the future! When the time comes, the Wo Nation will definitely have a workshop like the Marquis of Yong 'an's! "
The big brother on the mountain back shook his head and said, "If the Wo Nation wants to be strong, they must learn from the Tang Empire's culture and technology. These Tang Yuan have the Tang Emperor personally vouching for them. Furthermore, they are of superior quality and are difficult for ordinary people to copy. Using them is many times more convenient than the Tang Empire's Kaiyuan Tongbao! Our Nihon nation will also start using Tang Yuan in the future. This time, when we return to our country, we will use a ship of Tang Yuan to go back! "
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Nihon also used the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty as their currency. Later, in the Nara Period (around 708 AD), Nihon began to issue the "Heitong Kaibao", followed by the "Wannian Tongbao", "Shengong Kaibao", "Longping Yongbao", "Fushou Shenbao", "Chenghe Changbao", "Changnian Tongbao", "Raoyi Shenbao", "Zhenguan Yongbao", "Kuanping Dabao", and so on. In short, it was very chaotic. The people mainly used the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, this Kaiyuan Tongbao was not released during Li Longji's Kaiyuan Golden Age. In the fourth year and seventh month of the Wude Era, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan issued an edict to abolish the Five Baht Coin, and personally directed the production of Ouyang Xun to create a unified Kaiyuan Tongbao. The two words' Kaiyuan 'referred to the founding of a country and the beginning of a new era. It had nothing to do with Li Longji's era name,' Kaiyuan '~!
"Hi ~!"
Yoko Ono bowed and cupped her fists.
If Li Zexuan, who was inspecting the construction site of the football field in Lantian County, knew about the decision of the big brother on the mountain back, he would definitely be overjoyed. After all, this was the first 'foreign exchange' earned for the Tang Dynasty after the release of Tang Yuan!
In the future, Tang Yuan would face the whole world. Today, it was just a small step!
