Under Zhang Xiaobao's strategy, even if the Tubo and Turks were reluctant to bear livestock, they had to replace them with Tang's banknotes, which could be used to purchase weapons, food, and "advanced technology."
The banknotes that the Chinese people still don't quite recognize in the country suddenly found a market outside.
There are only a few places in the country that actively respond to the issuance of banknotes. Naturally, Sanshui County will not need to say much. As soon as the new currency comes out, the people in the county will regard this currency as a hard currency. Get a certain degree of concessions.
Except for Sanshui County, that is Baoxin County and the neighboring Xincai County. These are all places directly related to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Needless to say, in Jili County, even if you don't want to use it.
Then there are Changning County and Shuzhou. The place is not far from the capital, and the farthest place belongs to Luzhou.
The Datang Bank has opened almost throughout the entire Datang, but there are still some places that cannot be reached. One is the long distance. This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the population is small. After opening a bank, I found that no one needs it.
If Luzhou hadn't been developed, it would have been impossible to have several banks built there.
Today's Luzhou can be said to be the most prosperous place besides the capital. If it is more than the people's life, it is beyond the reach of the people in the capital.
According to Zhang Xiaobao, the overall GDP of Beijing is twice as high as that of Luzhou, but in the hands of individuals, the people of Luzhou are five times that of the people of Beijing. It can be said that every family is rich.
Datang Bank had already arranged people to follow the construction in Luzhou when it was piloted in the capital. Now the bank in Luzhou has long become an important designated place for all foreign merchants to deposit and withdraw money.
The people of Luzhou are actually almost between barbarism and civilization. At least many officials in the capital think so. When Luzhou is mentioned occasionally, there is a faint contempt in their words, even if they know that the people of Luzhou have already lived. Very good.
Every family has livestock, and every household has cars and bicycles. Luzhou itself has a bicycle depot. In addition, the roads are well repaired, so you can ride the bicycles when you go out. It is nothing more than rubber wheels made of all kinds of leather. easily broken.
In addition to this abundance of materials, there is also cultural progress. Needless to say, all children have to go to school, even adults who are illiterate have to go to night school.
Some people still look down upon such a place.
Sun Hua was one of them. When he rushed to the Luzhou Wharf by boat, he looked down at the people busy on the wharf and said to a 13 or 4 year old child beside him: "My son, here It is Luzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital, and there is really no way to live here, otherwise, how can it be compared to the prosperous place of the capital? Remember, there is no such thing as the prosperity of the world, and the ambition of life belongs to Beijing."
The child raised his head, looked at his father’s face, and nodded vigorously, but when he looked down, he always felt that it was not bad compared to the capital. He picked up the clairvoyance hanging on his chest and moved further. After looking around, he said to his father suspiciously:
"Father, there is a lot of people here, there are many horses and cars, and there is a little sail before entering the port. Compared with the capital, it seems to be better than the capital. The last person is really a bit capable, so he was cleaned up. It is a pity."
After being refuted by his son, Sun Hua, the father, really couldn't find an excuse to deny it. Originally, he just wanted to let his son know that the most promising place is Beijing. He didn't expect to cite the wrong example.
Reached out and grabbed the clairvoyance that his son was holding. "Be careful not to break it, Jingui. It is prosperous here, but it is too far away from the capital. It is difficult to be promoted. As for the origin of the prosperity, it is the same as the last one who dared to smuggle. The governor has nothing to do with him.
If he can't afford to be greedy, he can be transferred back to the capital and put it in an important position as long as he persists for a year. Unfortunately, he only stayed for four months, and his mind will become active. Zhang said, who walked along the road, almost got involved. He didn't know how good the people of Luzhou were. Don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught. "
The child didn’t understand his father’s words very well. He looked at the scenery and asked: "Father, since going back in a year is better than arranging a good location, why did you say that this place is not good? Who built the place in Luzhou? of?"
"Uh..." Sun Hua was speechless when he was asked by his son. Just now he was just trying to highlight the importance of the capital, but he was asked about it now.
"The official here is to return to the capital to have a good position. It is better to have a good position directly in the capital. Think about it later. Today, your father will not tell you. The people who built this place were sent to Luoyang for retirement. Now, you know, Luzhou may not be a good place."
In order to maintain his majesty, Sun Hua said later.
After speaking, the child nodded very sensibly, but others were unwilling.
The people working at the two docks who were setting up springboards for the boat looked at the madman with a very unkind look, and the movement of his hands stopped, seeing that it meant that he was not ready to continue to take the boat.
Sun Hua hadn’t reacted yet, and said to his son: “Although this place is good, it’s not a blessed land. The forest is full of miasma and hurricanes often come. Then the first officials have used up all their luck, otherwise they will be like a father. Generally, I will work in the capital in the future."
"Papa!" The springboard that had just been set up was taken down, and then Sun Hua saw one of the two springboards opened his mouth, turning his head and shouting to people elsewhere on the dock.
"Some people say bad things about Zhang Cishi, it's... him."
With a sound of "brushing", the working people stopped all the work in their hands when they heard this voice, and looked over at the same time.
Sun Hua was taken aback. When he didn't know what was going on, the boatman who had brought his family over stood by him and asked in horror: "Master Sun, what did you say about Zhang Cishi? You should explain. Well, otherwise the small ones won't keep you."
Sun Hua was stunned, and then he came to understand. He said something wrong. Hearing people say that Lu Zhou can’t say that Zhang Zhong is not good. You can boast. If you boast to heaven, no one will make trouble. There are even people who see you pleasingly and please eat. Meal, but bad words usually do not produce good results.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, talking about the previous term, but not Zhang Zhong. It was Zhang Cishi who made a good foundation. I didn't know how to cherish the previous term."
Regardless of embarrassing in front of his son, Sun Hua quickly explained.
At the moment when he was worried that others would not forgive him, the savior came, and a clipper came from behind, and before anyone approaching it, he shouted: "Here, those who went to the sea are back."
