Chapter 232: Making Money and Making Counterfeit Money
"With me, the Ming Dynasty will not die, and with me, there will be this glorious Han nation."
Mao Yulong made a plain, firm but sonorous and powerful voice, deafening and deafening.
All the people looked at him together, and all of them began to look at him in confusion.
Mao Yulong erupted into the small universe and used his momentum to settle the hearts of several people present. Then he began to talk eloquently: "I can change the fate of Daming, but the starting point to change this fate is in my uncle Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town in the hands of my uncle-" So, he took out the plan that he had sorted out and modified countless times in his heart.
At the end of the day, Mao Yulong said: "To change the course of a transaction, as long as you change it a little, we will start by changing the fate of Mao Wenlong." ”
Others didn't say anything, but Xu Jie got up and clapped his hands: "The fourth brother has grasped the key, as long as Mao Wenlong does not die, as long as Dongjiang Town is strong, it will completely involve Houjin, so that they can't press the front line of Shanhaiguan with all their might." As long as the Shanhaiguan line is alleviated, the loss of military spending will be less, and the finances of the Ming Dynasty will be alleviated, and this part of the financial resources will be used to rectify the guards and suppress the resistance of the displaced people in various places, and if this continues, everything will be solved. ”
With such an analysis, hope rose again for all of them. Everyone asked Mao Yulong one after another: "You say, what do you want us to do." ”
In the face of a group of his own brothers and a group of brave men who love this empire, Mao Yulong said his plan: "Since everyone is patriotic, then we will take action and do our best for this great Han country." Here, Mao Yulong did not say that it was for the Ming Dynasty, but definitely said that it was for the Han Dynasty.
Several elder brothers nodded one after another, these people came together because they all had a sincere heart, and there was still heroic generosity to do their part for the Han nation.
"In this case, the first thing to solve my uncle's problem is to solve his money and food problem."
Zheng Hongda immediately said: "I didn't say anything, I will sell my wealth now and donate it to Mao Shuai." ”
Xu Jie directly blocked him: "Come on, third child, with your little wealth, you are still very good in Hangzhou, but raising an army is not even a dime." ”
Looking at Zheng Hongda, who was hit by his eldest brother, Mao Yulong said with a smile: "Big brother is right, brother, your hundreds of thousands of family fortunes are really not enough to support an army for even a month." But it's not that we can't help. I have a huge plan here, and I don't know if my brothers would like to hear about it. ”
As soon as they heard that Mao Yulong had a way, everyone immediately listened carefully.
"Living water lasts for a long time, that's fundamental. According to the current situation, Lord Yuan Keli is quite supportive, and my uncle can support it for a few years, in fact, as long as it supports it for a few years, it can buy us time. So, I think that in the past few years, a few of our brothers have worked hard to make money, made enough money, and then not all the donations with interest, but after we have worked hard to lay the foundation for development in the past few years, with future profits, and strive for future profits, it is enough to support my uncle to raise a strong army. At that time, it is no longer necessary to contain Houjin Jiannu, but to fǎngōng Jiannu, perhaps, directly destroy Jiannu, a guy who has brought huge consumption to the empire's finances and caused a huge crisis of national destruction to the empire. ”
It's a good idea, but a good way is a good way. According to Mao Yulong's calculations, raising an army that can fǎngōng cannot be lowered without 50,000. An army of 50,000 consumes at least five million silver a year.
Five million, what's that number? At present, the financial income of the Ming Dynasty is only 1,500 to 20 million a year. If you add 10 million in the house, it will be 25 million. Just relying on his own four, no, in fact, there are three, Song Yuanshan can't be counted, just want to make a profit of five million a year, it's just a fool's dream, that's a fact that it is impossible for Wang Cheng to become a man at all.
Seeing everyone's somewhat discouraged expressions, Mao Yulong directly took out a fluttering piece of paper in his sleeve: "The plans are here, as long as everyone is not in a hurry and goes on step by step, after a few years, I think the profit of five million a year is that we have not done a good job, we are lazy." ”
Everyone straightened their necks and looked at the piece of paper, the profit of five million a year is still the result of laziness, talking nonsense, dreaming.
Mao Yulong pointed to this piece of paper: "Don't you see that this is gold, don't you see that this is a gold finger?" Don't you see that there is a steady stream of gold rising on this piece of paper? So he struck the back of his head firmly.
"Big brother, what are you hitting me for, if my head is broken, everything will be finished, and the gold will turn into waste paper."
As a result, several other people had already begun to roll up their arms and sleeves at him: "If you talk nonsense, you will be blown off in the head." ”
Mao Yulong wanted to play prestige at that time, but after determining that he was the youngest, he still obediently said his plan: "In order to save this nation from being contaminated, we must prepare sufficient funds, which is the first priority." So, the first thing we have to do is make money, but what is the fastest way to make money? I'm ready to - counterfeit money, that is, counterfeit money. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar.
Counterfeiting is the killing of the whole family. Not to mention, the most important thing is that in this era, not to mention counterfeit money, it is to make real money and lose money.
China's real use of silver should not be deceived by the TV series, the real use of silver is in Daming, and it is not far from now.
It was in the era of Shenzong, to be exact, that it began to really circulate and become legal currency in the Wanli year. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, not only silver was used as the main currency, but most of the treasury silver was also silver. And the copper plate, which was in an important position before, is not very important. In fact, among the people, silver is also the currency that the people mainly use to exchange goods. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, foreigners had such a record, that is, when ordinary people went shopping on the street, they would always bring some silver taels. Depending on the price of the goods, a variety of broken silver is used, and the value of the broken silver is calculated by weighing. At that time, people were so familiar that they hardly needed a weighing tool, and they could know the corresponding value just by weighing it by hand.
Originally, since the Han and Tang dynasties, China's coins were mainly copper coins, which were beautifully minted and substantial, and became the mainstream in Southeast Asia and became the reserve currency of various countries. In the two songs, it was the existence of the dollar, and eventually it became the main currency of the surrounding countries. Therefore, the two Song Dynasty can gather a burst of wool from Southeast Asia at any time, which is also an important reason for the wealth of the Central Plains Dynasty during the Two Song Dynasty.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the situation changed, with the expansion of Sino-foreign trade, foreign currencies represented by silver dollars have flocked to China, from circulating in the southeast corner to sweeping the whole territory of China, from the means of payment of Sino-foreign trade to the mainstream form of Chinese currency, which brought an unprecedented impact on Chinese society in the late Ming Dynasty. Foreign silver coins firmly control China's currency circulation market.
