Chapter 118: Silver for Treasure Money

As an immediate emperor, Zhu Laosi knew very well how the huge Mengyuan Empire completely collapsed, and it did not win the hearts of the people from the beginning of its establishment, and the naked fourth-class policy laid the biggest bane for it.

Therefore, Zhu Laosi would rather let the treasury run away in a vacuum, rather than let the people be unstable.

Xia Yuanji naturally knew Zhu Laosi's thoughts, and also agreed with Zhu Laosi's thoughts, but he used to say that the treasury was empty enough to run mice, but now that he suddenly stopped talking about it, he always felt that it was a little different.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Laosi and Xia Yuanji to know that in the original history, the Ming Dynasty sang the cool and picked up the cheap mite Qing that really achieved the abundance of the treasury, did not care about the people's hearts, but continued the rule of more than 200 years It is estimated that few people know, after the defeat of the first opium war, the mite Qing encouraged the whole people to grow tobacco, and the opium production could even be exported in reverse, and the treasury that was empty because of the indemnity was enriched again......

After the corners of Xia Yuanji's mouth twitched several times, he finally bowed down and said: "The treasury is willing to fully support the treasure banknote, and the ministers will do their best to maintain the normal turnover of the treasury." ”

It's just that before Zhu Laosi could laugh, Xia Yuanji continued: "In addition, the minister has another request. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Zhu Laosi said, "There is not much wealth in the inner family. ”

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is that the construction of the imperial city of Shuntianfu should be handed over to Yang Zhuangyuan?" ”

……

Zhu Zhanji stood next to the stove and looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "Is this thing reliable?" ”

The sound of the pot and spoon colliding stopped, and then it sounded again, and Yang Shaofeng said in a salty and non-salty manner: "Reliable." Even if it fails, it will not be worse than the current situation. And after such a toss, at least those large and small businessmen can accept the treasure money, as for the people are unwilling to accept it, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Putting out the dishes that have been fried in the pot, shabu-shabu, hot pot, Yang Shaofeng squinted his eyes slightly, stared at the bottom of the pot that was gradually turning red, and quickly slid a spoonful of oil over, and then said in the crackling sound of oil: "Because of the face value of the treasure banknote, the people can easily not use as much as a hundred yuan, so in the end, there will still be a large amount of copper money flowing into the people, otherwise, you have to get a treasure banknote with a face value of five and ten yuan." ”

While quickly stir-frying the dishes in the pot, Yang Shaofeng continued: "It doesn't really mean much to get a treasure banknote with a face value, so it's useless." ”

Zhu Zhanji said curiously: "What is the meaning of such a toss?" ”

Yang Shaofeng turned the pot twice, and said with a smile: "If you want to discuss what is the meaning of such a toss, then I want to ask you, what is the essence of treasure money?"

If you put aside the value attached to it by the Ming Dynasty, the treasure money is paper. This is the essence of treasure money, and it is the essence that cannot be changed no matter what.

But don't forget, there are so many vassal states outside the Ming Dynasty. Their transactions with the Ming always need a currency to settle.

If one day, their country gets used to the treasure money of my Ming Dynasty, then where will their silver go? Obviously, there is only one place to go, and that is the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. As for the treasure banknotes, they are not printed by the treasure banknotes division?

And in order to do that, it is clear that we must first let my merchants accept the treasure banknote and then let it circulate in commerce. In the end, it will slowly spread to the people. ”

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "You are amazing!" You can think of such a bad idea. ”

Casually put out the fried dishes, Yang Shaofeng said with a smile while preparing the next dish: "If nothing else, the first to benefit from this policy is Tatar and Warat, and then it will be handed over to North Korea, and then spread step by step." ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be." Don't look at the Tatars and Warats who are tossed by you enough, but in the process, they have also increased their understanding of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Treasure Bank, so the final direction of things may not be as good as you think. ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said: "Everything else is easy to do, but don't forget, perfume is only available in my shop in the world, and my shop only collects treasure money." What do you think will happen to the Tatars and Warats? ”

There is no need for Yang Shaofeng to talk about the rest of the matter.

Zhu Zhanji could easily think that those Tatar noblewomen and Warat noblewomen who wanted perfume would definitely find a way to get treasure money, and then go to Yang Shaofeng's shop to buy perfume.

On the surface, this process may seem like a bit of a superfluous move, but through the Tatar noblewomen and the Varat noblewomen, it is easiest to achieve the purpose of replacing gold and silver with treasure money.

In fact, after returning to the border city, Yang Shaofeng began to act, and the entry point was still Yang Shaofeng's good brother, Timur and Antai.

The subtle aroma is sandwiched between the bouquet, but the more intense bouquet does not completely cover the light and persistent floral aroma of the perfume.

One person handed over a few bottles, Yang Shaofeng said with a smile: "This is the perfume I just tossed, whether it is sprinkled on my body or clothes, the fragrance can last for a day or two, absolutely good." ”

Timur licked his lips, grabbed a small porcelain bottle in his hand tightly, and said, "How many bottles? ”

Yang Shaofeng smiled and said: "I gave it to you, don't hold it so tightly, and no one will rob you." ”

But Yang Shaofeng's comfort obviously did not make Timur feel at ease, and after the three of them looked at each other, the four of them tightly held the small porcelain vase in their hands.

Seeing the nervous appearance of the four people, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "I said brothers, relax, this thing is not valuable, it will be supplied in large quantities in the future, and there is no problem with how much you want." ”

Timur's hand holding the bottle loosened, and then tightened again: "How much is a bottle?" ”

The question asked by Timur was obviously a question that all three of them were concerned about, so the three of them also nodded vigorously, indicating that they had the same question as Timur.

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a smile: "If I sell it to others, naturally there can't be any affordable price, it's all ten taels of silver a bottle, and for you brothers, if I sell it too expensive, then I'm still a person?!" ”

Pointing to the small porcelain bottle in Timur's hand, Yang Shaofeng smiled: "Five taels of silver a bottle, basically not much money."

And this small bottle can be used for about two or three months, and if you save a little use, it can be used for about four or five months. On average, it is about one tael of silver a month. ”

Timur and the others gasped.

Five taels of silver?

A young laborer is worth so much! And a laborer can use it for decades, bringing himself a steady stream of income, but this thing can only be used for a few months, and there is no other use than fragrance.

But it is impossible to let Timur and others put down the porcelain vase in their hands, but it is absolutely impossible for the women on the grassland to be like the women of the Central Plains, after eating too many cattle and sheep, the body will inevitably have a fishy smell, especially when sweating, it will be more obvious.

And with this perfume, then this problem will no longer exist, and the benefits of this, are there still people who don't understand?

Once again, he tightened the small porcelain bottle he was holding in his hand, and Timur's face couldn't help but show a hint of pain: "The price can't be lowered a little more?" ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head and said: "I reduced the amount of perfume in it to less than a month's amount, and then sold it for one or two silver, it does seem to be much cheaper in terms of performance, but in fact?" Isn't it the same thing?

This perfume also has a name, called Nine Flowers Jade Dew Fragrance, because it includes the essence of nine kinds of flowers and plants after nine steaming and nine drying.

Brother Lao also must also understand that the opening of flowers has seasons, and there are very few flowers that are undefeated all year round, and it is actually extremely difficult to get this kind of flower essence, and the cost is terrible, so this price is naturally no longer able to be reduced. ”

Timur and others believed Yang Shaofeng's statement.

It is true that there are no flowers that can grow undefeated, especially the several floral fragrances in this city.

But no matter how you think about it, it still hurts until Timur and the others took this thing back to the tribe and gave it to their wives after using some.

Then, the good thing of Nine Flowers Jade Dew Fragrance spread on the grassland.

Being able to mix in the position of the envoy to the Ming Dynasty, Timur and the others are not ordinary herdsmen, and their status in the tribe is relatively high, and their wives naturally have their own social circles.

Jiuhua Yulu Fragrance is such a good thing, how can you do it if you don't take it out to show off?

Then, a large number of grassland ladies rushed to the border city with their own silver, and the matter of coming to the border city to see their children had been thrown aside, and now there was only one thing left in the minds of these noblewomen, that is, the fragrance of nine flowers and jade dew!

You have to buy the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Fragrance, and you can't let those little sluts look down on you!

Then, these noblewomen found that the shop in the city, which was next to the Drunken Immortal Tower, with the name of Jiuhua Yuluxiang, did not accept silver and gold at all, but only treasure money.

This is not difficult for the ladies.

Isn't it a very simple thing to find Timur and ask them to find some merchants of the Ming Dynasty to exchange treasure money, and then use the treasure money to buy Jiuhua Jade Dew incense?

Yang Shaofeng watched these things happen, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping them.

Because, although there are many merchants who come to the border city, these merchants bring silver, and there are not a few treasure money at all, and even the treasure money that these noblewomen can exchange for is still prepared by Yang Shaofeng in advance.
