Chapter 593: Daming Bank

Zhu Di laughed, "Good, Wang Liran, you wait to go down first." ”

After the people from the Tai Hospital left, Zhu Di glanced at everyone, and said something amazing, but it was expected by everyone, "Regarding the currency reform, the establishment of a national bank, and the increase in the amount of treasure money, what do you think?" ”

Everyone looked at Xia Yuanji in unison.

You are the head of the household, and all of you are professionals, so let's see what you say.

Xia Yuanji only had to list, and said: "This matter has been discussed by the household department for more than a month, and the opinions are not unified, regarding the currency reform, there are pros and cons, and I will not talk about the disadvantages, everyone is also a courtier, well versed in the affairs of the family and the country, but the benefits of reforming the treasure banknote are also very obvious, if there are corresponding measures to eliminate the disadvantages, I think privately, you can try." ”

Still very conservative.

The meaning of the attempt is probably to try it out here in Gyeonggi, and if you see that the situation is not right, you can stop immediately.

Zhu Di bowed his head and said to Xia Yuanji: "Let all the officials of the household department go to the palace one by one, explain their opinions in detail, and then talk about the solution, this matter must be decided today." ”

He also said: "Xia Shangshu, you will record." ”

Xia Yuanji had to go to the side of the historian and set up another table to record today's discussions.

Time ticks.

Seeing that it was noon, after the people in the household department expressed their opinions, Zhu Di asked the Shangshu and Shilang of the rest of the six departments to express their opinions, and then the nine temples and five supervisors, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the cabinet.

The people were so hungry that their stomachs growled, and they did not dare to complain.

As you can see, Your Majesty has lost patience and wants to make a decision today.

Finally, Zhu Di asked the King of Han and the King of Zhao.

Of course, King Han is against it, anyway, as long as it is related to Dusk and the crown prince, except for the measures of the Medical Reform Department that can benefit the country and the people with the naked eye, the rest of the measures are right or wrong, and they will be opposed.

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and asked the prince again.

Everyone thought that the prince would support it, but unexpectedly, even the prince was against it.

That's interesting.

The monetary reform was originally proposed at dusk, and everyone knew that dusk supported the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and there should be a relationship of interest between the two in private, no matter how you look at it, even if the prince does not support it, he should be neutral and should not oppose it.

The opposite is true.

This means that this matter was done by a private person at dusk, and there was no officialdom to dump it.

After Xia Yuanji recorded them one by one, he handed the booklet to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di read it once, in fact, after listening to the opinions of all the courtiers, he already had a plan, among the courtiers of today's small court, there were about eighty percent of the opponents, and only about twenty percent were in favor.

Among them, the main ones are represented by Li Youzhi, the left attendant of the household department, and Wu Pu of the cabinet, who are in favor.

Most of the remaining courtiers chose to oppose it.

Zhu Di put the booklet aside and said: "The garrison over there in Jiaozhi, today the editor asked for the appropriation of funds, according to the previous budget, it is about necessary to have a force of 500 people to escort it, and transport a large number of gold, silver, and copper coins to Jiaozhi, I have ordered that the household department prepare treasure money, Xia Shangshu, treasure money is ready properly, how many people are needed to escort it?" ”

Xia Yuanji immediately stepped out of the queue, "It's ready, there are probably a few carriages, thirty or fifty people." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and looked at everyone, "Now I want to go to Jiaozhi with money, you can use treasure money, faster and more convenient, he will transport the wealth of Jiaozhi to Daming, it is gold, silver and copper money, but if you want this move to be bright, and let the people of Jiaozhi have no complaints, you must get the treasure money to become the real currency subject, so that the people of Jiaozhi feel that they are holding treasure money, and it will not become a piece of waste paper. ”

Everyone gasped.

Your Majesty is so ambitious.

But after thinking about it, if you can use the treasure money to exchange the gold and silver abroad, why not?

Zhu Di continued: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and the reform of the treasure banknote is feasible. On this basis, the six ministries need to work together to formulate a complete set of perfect systems to ensure that the treasure banknotes will not become waste paper, and more importantly, to ensure that in the future, after a hundred years, my successors and even the later kings of the Ming Dynasty cannot use the imperial power to issue treasure money indiscriminately, according to my concept, the issuance of treasure banknotes should rely on the growth of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, not because the treasury has money or no money as a basis. ”

Looking at Song Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, "Your Criminal Department quickly formulated the corresponding law. ”

Song Li had no choice but to receive the order.

Zhu Gaochi was anxious and hurriedly came out of the ranks, "Father, has you decided to reform the currency?" ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi obliquely, he wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, seeing the prince like this, it seemed that he was sincerely opposed to the currency reform, no matter what his thoughts were, at least it proved that he did not collude with Dusk, so his attitude eased a little and nodded, "I have made up my mind!" ”

Zhu Di has always been strong.

He decided that no one could object to.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to sigh and retreat.

Zhu Di continued: "I have decided on this matter, and you ministers no longer need to advise on whether this matter is implemented or not, but if there is a strategy, you can play the prince, and in addition, order the household department headed by Xia Yuanji to form a national money bank and take charge of many matters of treasure banknotes, and it is necessary to be sure that the issuance of treasure banknotes must be bound to the amount of gold, silver, copper and iron mined by the state, and it must also be combined with the annual tax revenue and the level of private prices, and it cannot be taken for granted. After the corresponding formation of the money bank, the household department was formulated, and the official order was set by the official department, which was tentatively named Daming Bank, and was under the jurisdiction of the household department. Zhou Caiquan, the right attendant of the household department, is also the president, Li Youzhiquan, the left attendant of the household department, is the vice president, and Li Qingquan, the head of the household department, is also the vice president. ”

Zhou Cai was surprised and hurriedly saluted.

Li You saluted expressionlessly - he knew that His Majesty meant to appease Zhou Cai's resentment because he was not a political envoy.

Li Qing, the head of the household department, was also outside the Qianqing Palace.

Hearing this, he hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Di got up, which meant that the small dynasty meeting was about to end, and his hands were propped up on the desk, "On the side of the household, before the New Year, it is determined that the national bank will be implemented, and the ministry will improve the "Daming Law" before the Spring Festival. ”

Glancing at everyone, "Remember?" ”

The people are in charge.

Zhu Di waved his sleeves, "Disperse." ”

Although there are many courtiers in the Qianqing Palace, there are many people who oppose the currency reform, but the king they are facing is Zhu Di, and it is Zhu Di who is in power, no one dares to oppose it, and it is useless to oppose it, so they can only accept it.

After everyone dispersed, Zhu Di looked back at the dog, "The day after tomorrow is dusk and the crown ceremony?" The day after tomorrow is a 100-day feast for his children? ”

The dog hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di laughed, "This is the crown gift I gave him." ”

It is also a gift to Daming.

Wrong.

This should be Dusk's gift to his children, and it is also his gift to Daming.

I'm looking forward to it.

When the treasure banknote becomes the main body of currency, can it be as Dusk and Yao Guangxiao said, the Ming Dynasty will ask for the treasure banknote these papers, in exchange for gold and silver at home and abroad.

If it really succeeds, then the Ming Dynasty will gather the wealth of the world to feed the people.

What a beauty.
