Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 102 Devaluation

"You don't know what's going on here, I'll tell you later!"

Old Ding pulled Jiang Defu up and told the boss to put the book here first. The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative a street ahead.

"What Dao Dao?"

The two of them walked to a place with few people, and Jiang Defu couldn't help but ask.

"There's something you may not know. This money may not be useful in the future!"

Old Ding whispered.

"What? Money is not easy to use? Money is not easy to use, so what can you use it for? Do you mean that there will be restrictions on buying things in the future? That doesn't mean that the money is useless. It just means that the amount you buy is small, and you can use it privately!"

Jiang Defu knew that there might be food stamps, cloth stamps and other things in the future. In the final analysis, there was still an acute shortage of materials, but many things still require money, so it cannot be said that money is useless.

"You said earlier that you have lived in the countryside for several years. You may have little information. The countryside is basically self-sufficient. You don't feel it obviously, but you will feel it after a while!"

"What do you feel? Can you please stop being so pretentious in your words?"

"Don't you feel that you have very little money to buy things now? Many things cost a few cents, but the face value of money today is very large. It is difficult for ordinary people to spend one or two yuan, let alone those fifty. There are still 1 yuan in notes for one hundred! I have a classmate who works in the banking system above, and I tell you that new currency will be issued soon!"

Old Ding lowered his voice and said.

"You don't mean to issue new currency. This large denomination of money is just..."

It’s no longer worth anything!
Jiang Defu didn't say the next words.

He has been busy with various things, and he has forgotten to think about all the things that happened in his previous life.

Yes, in his previous life, he had a business friend whose father liked to collect. He had been interested in collecting for a while. When he had nothing to do, he would have a few drinks with his uncle Zhi, listen to his lectures on collecting, and look at his collection. of treasures.

I once saw him collecting coins from the 50s and 1s. Many of them were of large denominations, including coins worth 10 yuan each. However, I didn't see the [-] yuan coins in Yang Kang's hands.

He was surprised at the time and felt that having 1 yuan must be very wealthy in that era.

Jiang Defu only remembered what that uncle said now.

He said that 1 yuan was indeed valuable at the beginning, and many people still saved it, but ended up suffering a big loss.

Because as the situation stabilized and a second set of coins was issued, the large denomination coins quickly became worthless.

Because later when the old currency of 1 yuan was exchanged for new money, it could only be exchanged for one yuan!

Yes, 1 yuan for one yuan!

This is basically equivalent to invalidating it!

As for the currency value of 10 yuan, it is estimated that they will not be exchanged.

Jiang Defu didn't believe it at the time, but he was sure after checking the information.

He actually forgot such important news!

Thinking that I still have six or seven [-] yuan coins in my hand, I can't help but feel a little anxious.

Although Xiao Zeng was busy exchanging two or three of them when he was in his hometown, he still has many in his hand, which is a lot of money!

At that time, I didn't change it in my hometown. After all, the money coming in and out of the township and even the government units was very small, and the large denominations were very eye-catching.

When Xiao Zeng changed money for Jiang Defu, he did so while the town was buying grain and oil. Normally, it would have been impossible to give such a large denomination.The 7 to [-] yuan is going to turn into waste paper in my own hands. This matter must be resolved immediately!
Because of Lao Ding's clothes, they quickly got change when they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. This time Jiang Defu exchanged a hundred yuan directly for small denominations of five yuan or ten yuan.

"Why are you so rich?"

Lao Ding watched with some surprise as Jiang Defu casually took out a hundred-dollar bill.

"Um, didn't I tell you? I saved an officer before during the war."

When the two were chatting and talking about each other's situation, Jiang Defu told about the general situation of the original person, five points true and five points false.

"Is this happening? Didn't you say that you saved your leader and that he was assigned to study at the artillery school with his help?"

Lao Ding was a little confused. This guy talked about so many things that he couldn't distinguish the specific details.

"When I was in the Guo Army, I also saved a man. In order to thank him for saving his life, he gave me a lot of money. I thought it was useless at the time, but later I found out that I could spend it, but now I always spend it in small denominations. , I’m really worried that the big flowers can’t go out.”

Jiang Defu pretended to be distressed.

"You're a kid who behaves when you get a bargain! Do you know that with so much money, according to the current prices, you don't have to worry about food and drink in this life! How come you are so lucky, saving this noble person one moment, and that noble person the next! I Why aren’t you so lucky?”

Old Ding was a little angry.

"Your father is a small landowner, so his family should leave a lot of money for you, right?"

"What's the use of those things? Now they can't be used! When I got the new money, my father felt that the money was of no use and had depreciated greatly, so he replaced it with Yuan Datou, saying that in the future the things would be more useful than paper money, but These are hard times!"

Old Ding was obviously unhappy when he mentioned the silver dollar.

"Your father is smarter than you. Your Yuan Datou will definitely be valuable in the future. If you don't like it, you can exchange your Yuan Datou for my banknotes later!"

It's not that Jiang Defu wants to take advantage of Lao Ding.

When chatting yesterday, Lao Ding had already talked about the situation at home.

After his father died, the family was only managed by his wife. Now there are two children at home, and he relies on help from the clan for farming and other things. Although he has a salary, he has to support so many people, so he is not very wealthy.

Lao Ding rarely goes out to play with his so-called classmates. In addition to his stubborn personality as a scholar, in the final analysis it is because he has no money.

He now buys books with the savings from his daily living expenses.

He had previously taken silver dollars and exchanged them on the black market, but not many people wanted them, so Lao Ding kept looking for outlets to exchange silver dollars.

"Okay, I don't have those on hand right now. I'll bring you some when I go back to my hometown next time. Don't keep your word then. But the new currency will be released soon. You have so much money to exchange it early. It will only work if you make new money, just give me new money when the time comes!"

They are now eating and drinking on the team. Although the team is all-inclusive, many of them have families. Even if they are not married, many of them have parents, brothers and sisters, especially those like Lao Ding who have families. , so many mouths need to be eaten, and if you want to live a more comfortable life, you need money.

Although the team is paid a salary, the amount is not very large. However, the family with their status can basically live a relatively good life in the local area. At least they can have enough to eat, but they have to find a way to live well.

People!

No one wants too much money!

"That's no problem, but Lao Ding, I happen to be looking for your help with something. Not to mention the silver dollar thing, I'll give you a reward if this thing is done!"

"what's up?"

"Isn't your classmate working in a bank? Contact your classmate and help me change my large denomination money into small change. Tell him that he won't let his help go in vain!"
