C1400 Face-smacking

It was the most successful thing that Sister Qing had ever done. In the past few days, she would go to the Gambling's entrance to see the waves of people, or go to the shop to use her money to buy large amounts of inexpensive and expensive goods.

The market was bustling with money, and all the merchants were extremely nervous about their cash. At this moment, it was not only their business that was better, but also the amount of money they had on hand.

In order to get the cash, all the small and big merchants in Jiangnan desperately tried to give their customers a discount. Just like the lake silk that Sister Qing had just bought, she was actually able to get it even though she sold it at a 30% discount.

The whole South Ticket Crisis was in fact an artificially created shortage of funds. Jiangnan was originally a commercial structure in which the three currencies, the current currency, the banknote and the banknote, circulated together.

Due to various reasons, its market share had been replaced by the south bank notes. Now, it was rarely seen in the market, and the entire market was basically the current situation of currency notes and current money circulating together.

Money didn't have any actual value in itself. Gold and silver were considered precious metals in industry, but most of them were still used for money circulation. This thing was actually the subject of wealth.

How much goods there are on the market, and then look at how much currency there is in circulation, then the approximate price level can be seen at a glance. With the same amount of goods, if the money supply increased, then the price system would naturally be more expensive. If the money supply suddenly decreased and there were still so many goods that needed a target, then the price system would naturally fall.

As long as a shrewd businessman could step on the right rhythm of a financial crisis, he would be able to make a huge fortune. Before the collapse of the paper money, he would store a large amount of cash.

Sister Qing had always thought that she had stepped on the right pace. She changed all the money into silver before the crisis started and then started to buy as prices plummeted. This was simply like lying on the ground and dropping pie.

The prosperity that she earned from earning money started to rise, and then seeing the other bankrupt jump and hang herself, this proved her ability even more. Under such a strong comparison, Sister Qing was no longer able to find her way to the north.

Since the little one had achieved what he wanted, he had to show off, especially in front of the losers. Naturally, this was a very satisfying thing, the old Wang family's son was also very handsome, and had good prospects in reading books. The Sister Qing had long set her eyes on her daughter.

However, she also knew that her family's reputation was not good, and the Old Wang family's condition was not bad, so she did not mention the marriage because she did not have the authority to do so. Today was the day she had the upper hand, and after thinking about it, she felt that this marriage was worth a try.

But they never would have thought that Wang Liuyi's family was purely like a stone in a latrine. They were so poor that they were smelly and hard, yet they still carried their usual airs.

However, the speed at which her life was going through was not something a shrew like her could imagine. The news of the Prime Minister's complete victory was like a heavy hammer striking at her heart. She was completely unable to bear such a shock and immediately fainted.

Sister-in-law Qing was a shrewd person, but she had been living in the neighborhood for many years. The people around her couldn't just stand and watch as they rushed forward to help her.

"Ouch …" "My ancestor …" A bitter wail was like a play as Sister Qing finally came back to life, but the moment she opened her eyes, she thought of the amount of money she had lost, and couldn't help but cry out of sorrow.

"Wah …" "Ahhh …" This truly was the sorrow of those who heard it. As they heard this, tears began to fall, and they truly could not imagine that anyone could cry in such a miserable manner.

The tears of the Sister Qing, who was sitting on the ground, washed the makeup into many ravines. Her voice was like a broken gong as she howled and kicked wildly on the ground.

Ah, injustice! She clearly remembered that the last time she had gambled in the south, it had been with 98 yuan in exchange for a silver coin!

"This is a sin on my part …" Wu wu wu … Why am I still alive? I used 98 yuan for one yuan, am I stupid! Am I stupid? " While scolding himself for being foolish, he was also slapping himself on the face.

Pah pah pah … The entire street was filled with the sounds of "pa pa pa"!

Sister Qing was surrounded by poor neighborhoods, there were very few people who were in business, ordinary people spent more on copper coins, and occasionally there were even a few silver coins, which could already be considered quite a comfortable life.

They had no concept of hundreds or thousands of silver coins, but that did not stop them from feeling pity for the Sister Qing. That was right, who would have thought that in these five or six days, the originally worthless piece of paper would become as valuable as silver?

No, no, no. From the yamen runner's shout just now, not only had the bank note's credit been restored, it looked like it would have to be increased. After all, the government had said that there would be a discount on the taxes paid on the bank notes!

In this way, all sellers and sellers are willing to accept paper money, and you are more welcome to buy things with a southerly note than with a silver dollar. 98 silver coins for 1 silver coin. Thinking about how Sister Qing would not feel wronged if she were to slap him, even if she were to slap him.

Just how much purchasing power did a single silver dollar have in the late Qing? Xiao Letian had previously compared the price of grains with that of future generations, but after thinking about it, the yield of grains per mu in the late Qing era definitely couldn't compare to that of future generations. Now, there were no transgenes, no hybrid rice, and not to mention fertilizer or pesticides.

However, if we compare it with an artificial salary, perhaps we can see some clues. According to the historical records, Chairman Mao was a librarian at Peking University in 1918, and his monthly salary at that time was eight Yuan Datou.

The eight yuan was basically enough to solve the problem of Chairman Mao's living and clothing problems in Beijing, when the blue-collar workers in the factory were paid between 13 and 15 yuan a month if they did not stop for the rest of their lives.

At that time, the market price of a small courtyard house in Beiping was only around 500 yuan.

The Dragon Mark Silver Yuan forged by Xiao Letian was very similar to Yuan Datou in terms of silver content and net weight. This allowed him to infer the approximate purchasing power of a Dragon Mark Silver Yuan.

The crisis of the Jiang-Nan Notes was actually a robbery against the merchants. It did not affect the commoners too much, because at that time, the commoners really did not have much silver left.
