The second imperial examination of the People's Army was successfully over. Fang Nan speculated that the incident was spread to the Ming court, and the emperor would definitely be furious again. Fang Nan even wanted to write a letter to Emperor Wanli, so that he would not be angry, take care of his health, and be angry and die. At that time, the world was in chaos, and I wonder how many people would die because of it.

In fact, now, the People's Army has an elite army. If the army expands at all costs, it will be no problem for the People's Army to overthrow the Ming court. However, taking this path will cause too many people to die. It will take many years for the land of China to recover.

With the Ming court there, the land of China will not be chaotic. In the process of the People's Army gradually replacing the Ming court, it can preserve its vitality well. The land of China is only the first goal of Fangnan, and there is a broader land outside the land of China.

The imperial examination has ended, and something more important than the imperial examination is about to come. In more than half a month, on the first day of December, five minutes and one minute equal coins will be issued.

The three equal coins of one yuan, five cents and one cents issued before are all silver coins, with weight and value equal, but the weight and value of the copper coins after the silver coins do not match. Fang Nan is more worried that the people will find it difficult to accept copper coins for a while.

Time passed day by day, and it was getting closer and closer to the first day of December. A large number of five-cent and one-cent equal coins had been escorted to the People's Money Houses located in various places.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of gongs sounded, and the people around him looked at the notice board, wanting to know what the People's Army wants to announce.

"Friends, the People's Military Government has a new decree to convey to everyone. Half a year ago, the Grand Governor ordered people to mint equal coins to replace silver. Now, if everyone uses silver in their daily lives, they basically use equal coins. Everyone knows the benefits of equal coins.

It is convenient to use silver, but it is still inconvenient for everyone to use copper coins. Everyone is willing to bring a string of dozens or hundreds of copper coins when going out.

The Grand Commander ordered the minting of copper equal coins, which are the two in our hands, namely five cents and one cents. Twelve copper coins can be exchanged for one cent, and ten cents are one cents. With five cents and one cents, everyone will not have to bring so many copper coins when they go out in the future, which is very convenient.

These five cents and one cent equal coins can also be exchanged at the People's Bank of China, and can be exchanged on the first day of December.

Like silver equality coins, you can not exchange equality coins, but you must accept them if others use equality coins.

OK, if you have any questions, I'll answer them."

As soon as the official finished speaking, many people in the crowd around him raised their hands to ask questions. The official pointed to a middle-aged man and asked him to ask questions.

"Chief Lin, is five times the weight of a cent? I don't feel that much." The middle-aged man raised the common doubts in the hearts of many people.

Section Chief Lin replied: "Of course the weight of five cents is not five times the weight of a cent. If the weight of five cents is five times the weight of a cent, should the weight of a cent be equal to the weight of twelve copper coins? The weight of five cents is equal to the weight of sixty copper coins, and the weight is the same. What is the convenience of using equal coins?"

Many people around him understand the words of Section Lin. It is understandable but they cannot accept them. If they can be as heavy as silver equals coins, they can exchange copper coins for copper equals coins.

Among the onlookers, there were people who were unacceptable for a while, and there were people who immediately accepted it. They were willing to support the People's Army and waited for the issuance of equal coins on the first and fifth day of the 12th month and one cent equal coins, and they exchanged all the copper coins in their homes.

As the People's Military Government issued an announcement, the upcoming issuance of five-cent and one-cent equal coins quickly became one of the hot topics of the public. There were people in teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys talking about five-cent and one-cent equal coins. Some supported copper equal coins, and some did not. The two sides argued.

"I support copper equality coins. The Grand Commander ordered people to cast copper, which is not just convenient for everyone to use. If the weight and value of copper equality coins are equivalent, the copper equality coins are not much more convenient than copper coins, so there is no need to cast copper equality coins."

"The weight and value of silver equal coin are equivalent, why is copper equal coin not?"

"Now there are many people who cannot accept copper equality coins. If the weight and value of silver equality coins are not as high as copper, I'm afraid that not many people will use this equality coins."

"The value of copper coins is far less than that of silver. Who would store a bunch of copper coins in their house? It is also a silver liang to store. Since there are copper equal coins, we can exchange them for some, as long as we exchange all the money for copper equal coins."

...

The copper equality currency is the most important and the middle and lower-class people who often use copper coins. Most of the lower-class people support the People's Army wholeheartedly and are willing to use five-cent and one-cent equal currency. Most of the discussions are on the middle-class people, while those gentry and merchants don't care about five-cent and one-cent equal currency.

The rich and gentry and merchants are all rich people. They mainly use silver or silver equal coins in their lives. The chances of using copper coins are very few. Even the rewards are directly silver equal coins. They do not care about the copper equal coins issued by the People's Military Government, and they do not have much impact on themselves.

However, most gentry and merchants have made a decision. When the first day of December arrives, they will send people to the People's Bank of China to exchange some five-cent and one-cent equal coins, support the People's Army, and leave a good impression on the People's Army.

Amid the discussion, when the first day of December arrived, people's money houses in various places officially opened to exchange five cents and one cent equal coins.

Before the People's Money House opened the door, many people gathered in front of the door. Just like when the People's Money House launched the silver equality coins half a year ago, many people rushed to exchange for equality coins.

For the staff of the People's Bank of China, it is much more convenient and fast to exchange copper coins for copper equality than to exchange silver equality coins. The value of silver is high, and it may be counterfeited or mixed with other metals. The value of copper coins is low, and almost no one will forge copper coins.

Count the number of copper coins, as long as the copper coins that are not damaged too much are calculated as a copper coins. Those who enter the People's Bank of China to exchange copper equal coins will only exchange a few coins, and the most will exchange a dozen coins.

There are also people who exchange copper equal coins with more than one hundred thousand coins, and for such guests, staff will ask why they exchange so many coins.

If the gentry and merchants come to support the People's Army in exchange for a large number of equal coins, the staff will dissuade them. After all, the mints don't have many copper equal coins and can be circulated. If stored at home, it will affect the circulation of copper equal coins.
