Zheng Zhihui and Zheng Guochang didn't know what was going on, worried that Huang Han would have a problem, and looked at each other.

Huang Han asked Xu Miaoyan, Tian Xiang, and Red Sleeves to bring dozens of gold, silver, and copper coins.

These products have been finalized and are now in mass production, and they are definitely meticulously crafted, and the coins have exquisite patterns and bumps that have a rich feel.

The silver content standard of silver coins is similar to that of Yuan Datou in later generations, but it is enough for one tael, and one tael in the Ming Dynasty weighs 37.5 grams.

In order to prevent the actual value of a penny of copper coins from being lower than that of copper, profiteers return to the furnace of copper coins worth a penny for profit, resulting in no money available to the people.

The minimum value of the coins minted by Huang Han is two coins, the lead accounts for three percent, nickel accounts for one percent, and the most expensive copper accounts for sixty percent, the quality is stronger than the Jiajing Tongbao gold back money, and it is more exquisite.

There are two copper coins, five coins, ten coins, fifty texts, and one hundred texts, and the materials below ten are the same, and five two copper coins are equal in weight to a ten-wen copper plate.

Fifty and one hundred copper coins contain a certain percentage of silver, and two fifty copper coins weigh the same as one hundred copper coins.

Gold and silver coins weigh equally, and the gold coins have clearly legible characters on them that are ten taels of silver.

Huang Han's approach is to first affirm the precious metal value of the currency, which can be accepted by the general public and the official eunuchs, and gradually let the credit value of the "Sifang Money" be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will be possible to issue paper money in the future.

There is no loss in coinage, because a silver coin is slightly less than eighty percent of the purity, and after subtracting the cost of work, there is a shortfall of twenty percent of the profit, and the same is true for gold coins.

At this time, it was not the afterlife, the price of gold was very low, and Huang Han, who knew the trend of gold, did not hoard silver, but hoarded gold exclusively as a hard currency.

Therefore, in the past few years, "Sifang Qianzhuang" has been openly buying gold, basically completing the acquisition between 8 to 1 and 9 to 1.

In addition, Huang Yong went to Nanyang and brought back a large amount of gold, so that the stock in Huang Han's hands was enough to control the price of gold, and this time he took the opportunity to carry out official pricing, and one tael of gold was ten taels of silver.

This simple operation will increase the value of gold worth more than five million taels of silver by one or two, which is equivalent to earning less than one million taels of silver.

After the minting and promotion were completed, if the currency minted by Huang Han in circulation in the market reached 10 million taels of silver, Huang Han would get a profit of less than 2 million taels.

It is estimated that the value of the currency that needs to be circulated in the entire Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries is not more than 100 million taels of silver, how much will Huang Han earn if he does this?

Therefore, when Huang Han picked the imperial court to need the "Red Banner Army" to be ordered in danger, it was also the day when the imperial court owed Liao salary for two months, and asked Emperor Zheng Guochang and Zheng Zhihui Chengzuo to approve their own coinage.

Huang Han believed that the possibility of rejection at this time was relatively small, because the Ming Dynasty's private money was overflowing, repeated prohibitions, and due to the corruption of the imperial court, the coinage could not be profited at all.

Without the approval of the imperial court, I don't know how many families are making private money.

Huang Han did not directly ask for a special order, when the "Red Banner Army" needed to make a big effort to fight with Jiannu, Chongzhen would definitely take into account the overall situation, and the emperor didn't know how much interest there was here.

Zheng Guochang and Zheng Zhihui picked up the coins that Huang Han put on the table and played, both of them couldn't put it down, sure enough, people are born with feelings for money!

Zheng Zhihui said: "General, you can mint such good money, and solve the dilemma of the people on the one hand having no official money to use, and on the other hand, inferior private money to trap the people, why is the Holy Son of Heaven unwilling?" ”

Zheng Guochang knew that his son-in-law was unprofitable and could not afford to be early, and said suspiciously:

"Is it profitable for you to make your money so delicately? The small money of two or five wen is harmless, and more than ten wen or even the equivalent of 10,000 wen gold coins, can the people and officials use it with confidence? You don't want the bamboo basket to be empty! ”

Huang Han said with confidence: "As long as the imperial court agrees to the 'Red Flag Army' coinage, no one needs to worry about how to make it popular in the world, I guarantee that within three months, the people of Shengdou will go to the 'Sifang Money Village' to line up to exchange new money." ”

Zheng Zhihui had completely convinced Huang Han, he believed that Huang Han could do it, and asked, "I wonder how the general can make the new money go all over the world?" ”

Huang Han will have a series of promotion strategies, there is no need to talk about it at this time, briefly introduced:

"Coins are used for shopping, and soldiers and civilians and bureaucrats can buy goods worth one tael of silver with a silver coin that is worth one tael of silver, and there is no need to weigh it, how convenient is it? Over time, of course, it will become popular all over the world. ”

Zheng Zhihui nodded and said: "Rao is like this, it is indeed convenient for the people to use it directly without looking at the color and weight." We will definitely introduce the benefits of the new currency to the Son of Heaven. ”

Zheng Guochang also thought it made sense, and said: "As long as the money in hand can buy things, the people will indeed not reject new money, and the old man will try his best to promote this." ”

The old man and Zheng Zhihui had such an attitude, Huang Han was of course happy to accept it, and said with a smile: "Ge Lao and Zheng Gonggong put Shengdou Xiaomin in their hearts and said good words for the new currency, and this lord has thanked him." ”

In order to reassure the emperor, Zheng Zhihui and Zheng Guochang, the eunuchs of the supervising army, rushed to Beijing the next day, and now they will not be tired of saddle horses when they arrive at Jingshi from Shanhaiguan.

Because the work for relief will organize young adults to repair the road, this official road is repaired to be spacious and smooth, enough for the needs of the four-wheeled carriage with shock absorption, and a service area is also built along the way to provide horse changing services.

Shanhaiguan arrived at the Guangqu Gate of Jingshi for only six or seven hundred miles, and the four-wheeled carriage did not need to get up early and bring late to change horses all the way, so as to ensure that it could arrive in the capital within two days.

Zheng Guochang returned to Beijing to resume his life, and asked in person in the court why the Hou Sui, the secretary of the household department, was in arrears for two months, did he not know that the "Red Banner Army" needed far more than that?

How will the Ming Dynasty respond to the mutiny caused by the "Red Banner Army" due to the interruption of salaries in the imperial court? Who can afford this responsibility?

Zheng Guochang is on the matter, because when he talked with his son-in-law about the proportion of Liao's salary last year, Hou Sui was one of the parties, and at that time, more than a dozen important ministers and ministers unanimously recognized that the imperial court gave 300,000 taels of silver, and Huang Han had to subsidize 300,000 yuan to be able to spend.

The head of the household department has been paying a salary for two months, and the son-in-law who promised to pay the full salary on time to collect the hearts of the army will not have to pay 1.2 million taels of silver in advance? The old man feels sorry for his son-in-law, of course, he will not be polite to Hou Sui.

Hou Sui was willing to back down, quibbled, and poured bitter water, pointing out that there were too many troops in arrears for half a year or even a year, and that the "Red Banner Army" had only dragged on for two months.

This is the truth, Zheng Guochang couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Who knew that someone would take the opportunity to make a fuss next, and the cabinet minister Xue Guoguan immediately jumped out to impeach Hou for misleading the country, and then the first assistant Wen Tiren seconded the proposal, and then dozens of imperial histories and things were all stepped on.

The reason is very simple, the party is the same and different, Hou Sui is an authentic Donglin Party, Zheng Guochang took the lead in firing guns, can such a great opportunity be let go?
