A few years later, the old village chief had to check a large number of old banknotes every day, write new banknotes, and carefully record various accounts. After going back and forth, the old village chief was overworked and unfortunately drove Hexi.
Bit Village held a plenary meeting again to discuss what should be done. At this time, Er Gouzi, the son of the old village chief, volunteered to take over his father's pen and assumed the responsibility for currency issuance. The young village chief Er Gouzi is very clever. He did it for a few days and found that he didn't really need to write so much paper. It can be done like this: the villagers hand in all the banknotes and destroy them, but Ergouzi will record the number of banknotes handed in by each household. If you want to pay in the future, for example, if Lao Zhang wants to exchange a gram of gold for Lao Li for a sheep, he will call Ergouzi together, stating that one gram of gold under Lao Zhang’s name will be assigned to Lao Li’s name. , Er Gouzi took out the ledger to see if there was a gram of gold in Lao Zhang’s name, if there was one gram of gold in Lao Zhang’s name was subtracted, and one gram was added to Lao Li’s name to complete the payment. At this time, when Lao Li heard Er Gouzi confirming that the transfer was completed, he could rest assured that Lao Zhang took the sheep away.
At this time, Bit Village entered the era of central system virtual currency. Every villager does not need to pay in kind, and the payment process has become a digital change in the ledger maintained by Ergouzi.
