Chapter 1239: Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus (1)

The treasure banknote division is in the north and south long streets by the Jinshui River, not far from the Sheji Altar, there is a lake mouth in the west, and it is the West Garden that Emperor Jiajing loves to stay in for two miles.

The reason why it was established here is because the production of straw paper requires straw and other raw materials. After the straw is boiled and crushed, soaked in lime, and then pulped and dried, it can become straw paper.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the production of straw paper, there are a number of straw ponds built in the treasure banknote division, which smells bad, and there is also the introduction of living water and sewage discharge, which must be far away from Miyagi.

Wei Liangchen didn't know why he named the institution that made the royal straw paper the treasure banknote division, because the treasure banknote was the legal tender at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the treasure banknote lifting department was responsible for it. The legal period of the treasure banknote in the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 50 years, and the treasure banknote still existed during the Jingtai and Chenghua periods.

Although there is no treasure money now, the name of the country's legal tender has been changed to butt wiping paper, which is still unacceptable to think - just like saying that American knives are toilet paper.

Wei Liangchen guessed that it had something to do with the fact that the treasure banknote was not as valuable as the straw paper in the end.

Of course, for the treasure banknotes produced by the treasure banknote division, Wei Liangchen is liked, this straw paper is basically no different from the toilet paper of later generations, the color is light yellow, very fine and soft, and it feels very good to the touch.

Guerjia is very fond of this large toilet paper, and will even fold the treasure money roll and put it in the cloth strip during the menstrual period, saying that it has a good water absorption effect.

Wei Liangchen also valued this advantage, and he wanted to promote the New Life Movement in the imperial army, and toilet paper was a must-have hardware.

Because the treasure money is particularly easy to use, this made Wei Liangchen mistakenly think that the ancient papyrus paper is like this, but he didn't know that although the paper appeared in the Han Dynasty, the paper was an expensive item for a long time, and it was impossible to wipe the buttocks. In the past, people used to clean it with clods, sticks, tiles, and so on. It is possible for the aristocracy to use silk and cotton cloth to wipe their buttocks, and it was not until the pseudo-yuan that there was a special straw paper for cleaning the buttocks, commonly known as "fart paper".

However, this "fart paper" is not easy to use, the queen of the pseudo-Yuan Yuzong is very filial, she serves Yuzong's mother Zhao Ruishun Holy Empress, and even the fart paper used to go to the toilet has to be rubbed on her face for a while, so that the paper becomes soft and then used by the Holy Empress Zhao Ruishun. It can be seen that the fart paper at that time was not very comfortable to use, and it was not much stronger than clods, sticks, and tiles.

It wasn't until the process of this "fart paper" that it was greatly improved and could be used directly.

But this kind of fart paper, called "treasure money", is not something that ordinary people can use. The straw paper used by the people is not called treasure money, but coarse paper, and there can be no words on it. It is a Chinese tradition to respect the written paper, and whoever wants to use the written paper to wipe the ass will be poked in the backbone.

However, coarse paper is also a relatively luxurious thing for the poor people. Most people may have prepared some, but they are used when guests come, and they are reluctant to use them at home. When Wei Liangchen was in his hometown in the past, his father Wei Jinde was reluctant to buy coarse paper, and only some dry straw was piled up in the thatched house.

Of course, Wei Liangchen wanted to fly with the treasure banknote division, in addition to their ability to make toilet paper, there were other factors.

This factor is that if you can make toilet paper, you must be able to make paper tickets, because there is not much difference between the two in essence. It's just to make the toilet paper harder, print the words, and make it anti-counterfeiting.

Wei Liangchen, who has been committed to financial innovation, will definitely issue military stamps in East and Southeast Asia, Asia Minor, and even Europa and other countries in the future.

The Ming Imperial Army represents the Ming Empire, and only by improving the living standards of the people of all countries through military tickets can the justice of the Ming Imperial Army and the superiority of the Ming Empire be demonstrated.

The military ticket symbolizes the glory of the empire.

Then, in order to realize this great global common prosperity plan, it is necessary to have a strong imperial army.

Imperial Army, a central mint.

The Treasure Banknote Division is this central mint.

It's a causal connection, and it also shows that every piece of toilet paper has a purpose.

Father-in-law Wei is related to the Treasure Money Division, and his fellow villager, Zhang Bing, who liked to steal chickens and dogs in his hometown earlier, is the supervisor of the Treasure Money Division.

But this kind of countryman's affection, Grandpa Wei must disdain to play.

He is here for official business, what kind of personal affairs do he talk about?

And, he came to help the poor.

The whole of the treasure money division must have a warm welcome attitude towards this noble man from heaven.

Sure enough, after hearing that the eunuch of the Dongchang Temporary Governor of the Official Academy and the lieutenant of Jiangnan Town, Master Wei, came to the door, the young eunuch and the prisoner were all panicked, and then opened the door with a grand ceremony to welcome the red man in front of the emperor to inspect the Treasure Banknote Division.

There is no palm print in the Treasure Banknote Division, and it is impossible to have a commander, only the young eunuch is in charge, and this young eunuch is the sixth grade. In terms of grade, Gonggong Wei and the other party are equal, but that Young Eunuch Ma would never dare to sit on an equal footing with Gong Wei.

Can a person who makes a pipe to wipe his ass compare with someone who manages the East Factory and leads the imperial army?

Zhang Bing recognized Gonggong Wei, and at this moment, his heart was very sad.

The sadness is not because he has been in the palace for more than ten years to stay up as a prisoner, but because he will not get the attention of the county when he returns to his hometown next time - the premise of returning to his hometown is that there is no better person in the village than himself.

Gonggong Wei sat at the top of the lobby of the Treasure Banknote Division, not polite at all, because he didn't have to be polite at all. To make a long story short, Grandpa Wei directly assigned the task to the Treasure Banknote Division.

It was stipulated that the Bao Qian Division would provide tens of thousands of straw paper to the Daring Imperial Army every year in the future, and also send relevant personnel to Jiangnan to establish a treasure banknote branch. The raw materials for production and the funds for the construction of the factory were provided by the Ming Imperial Army and the Maritime Admiral Yamen.

The Ming Imperial Army also provided five eunuch quotas for the Bao Qian Division, and gave a minimum dividend of 10,000 taels per year. Of course, this minimum dividend is not fixed and will be adjusted according to the papermaking capacity and scale of the company.

"We're done, who's in favor and who's against?" Gonggong Wei made a big move, and his sharp eyes swept over the young eunuch and fellow Zhang Zhang.

"My father-in-law said that he would give us one every year... Ten thousand taels? ”

After receiving a definite reply, Young Eunuch Ma took a deep breath and bowed to the end: "My father-in-law can carry me and others, it is really a blessing for my treasure banknote division, and we have no objection!" ”

Zhang Bing has no doubts, don't look at them as one of the four divisions and eight bureaus, but in addition to collecting some money from the inner treasury, they have no entry at all, and can only receive a fixed "salary", and now suddenly a big man comes to say that he will pull them up, give them 10,000 taels of dividends a year, and give them five prison eunuch quotas in the prison, this is simply pie in the sky.

However, Zhang Bing thought of the formalities, and the emperor did not agree to the matter.

Father-in-law Wei takes care of everything, you just have to sign, and the rest of the things belong to him.

Soon, the agreement was written, and under the warm farewell of the Bao Qian Division, Father-in-law Wei went to the Mixed Hall Division again.

This agency is specifically responsible for hot water and sewers in the palace, and it stands to reason that this department will not help Gonggong Wei's imperial army construction, but Gonggong Wei still went to the department to reach a memorandum of cooperation with the young eunuch and others.

Every year, the Mixed Hall Division provides 100,000 wooden barrels to the Ming Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army settles at market price, and also gives the Mixed Hall Division five prison places. In addition, the Department of Mixed Theatre will send technical personnel to assist the Jiangnan Maritime Special Zone in the construction and maintenance of sewers. The project payment will be settled separately.
