Chapter 7, dilapidated courtyard

The next day, at dawn, Jiang Yan put on his clothes, packed his bed, and got ready to go out.

At this time, Grandma Lu, who was sleeping in the bedroom, also woke up. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Jiang Yan who was about to leave. So she asked, grandson, why did you get up so early? Where are you going?

After hearing what Grandma Luo said, Jiang Yan replied, Grandma, I have to go out and practice martial arts.

The master often said that the best plan for the day is in the morning, and martial arts training means practicing in winter and three days in summer. You can't be lazy for a moment. After that, I will go out for a walk to see the situation around here and feel the situation in this alley.

From now on, I will live and do things here, even if I am not familiar with the roads. By the way, grandma, don’t cook me the morning meal. I will eat some outside. Grandma, do you want me to bring some back?

No need, bring it to me. Wait for me. After saying this, Grandma Lu turned around and returned to her bedroom.

Take these and go out and buy more delicious things. You don’t have to save money. Grandma, I have money. Besides, the money won’t be valuable if you don’t spend it. Grandma Luo, who came out of the house, took two steps of money and handed it directly to Jiang

Word.

Jiang Yan, who originally didn't want to accept the money handed over by Grandma Lu, heard Grandma Lu say that the money was not valuable, and he felt a little confused about what the hell the money was.

When he saw the two piles of money, he realized that the money was really worthless.

The money Grandma Lu handed over was none other than legal tender issued by the government.

To say that these two piles of money are really quite a lot, each one is in denomination of 10,000 yuan. There are probably one hundred in this pile, and the total is one million yuan. So two piles are two million yuan.

According to the current purchasing power of legal currency, these two wads of money can be used for breakfast.

In fact, when this legal currency was first issued, its purchasing power was quite strong. One yuan of legal currency was equivalent to an ocean. When Mr. Lu Xun was a professor in Sijiucheng, it only had more than one hundred legal currency. This was enough for a family to live a good life.

However, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the government lost most of its territory and was financially tight, so it issued fiat currency on a large scale to make up for the fiscal deficit. In addition, in order to destroy the government's finances, small books produced a large number of counterfeit currency. As a result, the fiat currency continued to depreciate.

, the purchasing power of legal currency is a hundred times worse than before, so this money is worthless at all.

Seeing this legal currency, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of another thing. It is June now. If he remembers correctly, the Liaoshen Campaign is now underway.

In other words, in order to solve the financial problem, the government began to carry out currency reform two months later in August and issued gold yuan bonds to replace legal tender.

This gold yuan coupon is a quite legendary thing. It only lasted for about half a month. Later, due to the surge in war funds, the government broke through the 2 billion yuan limit on the issuance of gold yuan coupons. In addition, the prices caused by hyperinflation

Soaring, the issuance speed of gold yuan notes was much higher than the issuance speed of legal currency. Its issuance and printing were like a flood that broke the embankment, pouring out of control, and its total issuance was displayed to the world in the form of almost astronomical figures. Since then,

, gold yuan notes continue to depreciate at a faster rate than legal currency.

A large number of the middle class went bankrupt and the finances became even more chaotic, paving the way for the government's failure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said to Grandma Lu, "Grandma, you still have so many French coins in your hand."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment, then she said nonchalantly, "There are still two big boxes! Why is the money not enough? If not, grandma will get you some." She said that she would go back to the house to give Jiang Yan

Talk to get money.

Not grandma, listen to me. Jiang Yan grabbed Grandma Lu who was about to go back to the house to get money for Jiang Yan.

Then he said, "Grandma, I have money. Look, these are five silver dollars and silver cents that my master gave me. I just want to say, why did you keep so many French currency? You might as well exchange them for cash, gold, or even foreign currency."

all good.

This thing depreciates too quickly, and the longer you keep it, the less valuable it becomes.

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Grandma Lu sighed and said, I didn't know that the ocean is stronger than this French currency. Grandma's money is rent from tenants. What can they do to these grandmas?

But don’t worry, grandson, grandma secretly exchanged some cash and small goldfish for some, but these are worthless. What I saved is enough for us, my grandson, to live on for several years. I believe we will liberate this place.

After hearing Grandma Lu's words, Jiang Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that he recognized this grandma very well, and her vision was quite vicious, so he considered his retreat.

Jiang Yan thought about it in his mind and said to Grandma Lu, "Grandma, you are giving me some French currency. I will find a way to exchange them for cash and storable supplies to reduce our losses."

My good grandson, it’s better not to go. It’s too dangerous to bring so much money. Just leave it here if you don’t have anything to do! After saying that, he patted Jiang Yan’s head.

It's okay, grandma. After all, your grandson and I are traveling all over the country with the master. You can rest assured about safety. Besides, there's nothing wrong with me going to explore the black market. If our army needs something, I can go get it.

, even if it can’t solve a big problem, it can help a little bit.

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Grandma Lu thought for a moment, got up, went to the house, took out more than a dozen wads of money and handed them to Jiang Yan. At this time, Jiang Yan discovered that the denomination of the money had changed again, and the maximum denomination was actually one hundred thousand yuan.

.

Jiang Yan was completely speechless when he saw this denomination. This is a better way to match the pace of Zimbabwe.

In order to make it easier to carry, Jiang Yan put the money into a bag and carried it directly on his body. He put on the coarse cloth bag full of money, said hello to Grandma Luo and left the house.

As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, he met Yi Zhonghai, who was probably coming back from going to the bathroom. When he saw Jiang Yan, he asked, "Little guy, why are you going? Does your grandma know?"

My grandma knew that I was going to find a place to practice martial arts.

Hearing Jiang Yan's answer, Yi Zhonghai was surprised and said, "I can't tell! You are still a practitioner."

If you don't have any martial arts skills, how can you follow others all the way to Sijiu City? Uncle Yi came back to see you. After saying this, Jiang Yan walked out of the middle courtyard without looking back and left the courtyard directly.

Many people had already gotten up on the road in the early morning, but there were not many pedestrians on the road.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yan saw a dilapidated small courtyard. The iron lock on the gate of the courtyard was rusty. It looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time. Jiang Yan looked around and saw that there was no one around. He walked vigorously and grabbed the wall.

I turned over and entered the small courtyard.

This should be a quadrangle as soon as you enter the courtyard. The courtyard is not big. It looks like it is about 600 square meters. There are only six rooms in the courtyard: the main room, the wing room, the east and west wing rooms and the reverse side room. The main room is about 70 square meters at most.

The side room and the back room only have an area of ​​thirty or forty square meters. What makes Jiang Yan most satisfied is that the east wall seems to be adjacent to Grandma Luo's backyard.

Perhaps because it had been unoccupied for too long, the doors of the room had rotted a lot, and the roofs in some places had collapsed. At this time, Jiang Yan was thinking about how he could get this house.

After looking at the entire room, Jiang Yan went directly into his own space, found two bottles of milk and bread and started eating.

I don’t know if it’s because of his time travel, but Jiang Yan found that his memory seems to be much better, he has a photographic memory, and his strength has also grown a lot. He experimented with it before, and now he feels relaxed

It can pick up a fifty kilogram bag of rice.

But correspondingly, my food intake has also increased a lot. When I woke up from hunger in the middle of the night last night, I secretly added another meal in the space.
