Chapter 914: Going Smoothly
In the following March, Cui Wenqing was busy with the silver ticket.
He had just too many things to deal with.
The most important thing in the beginning is to set a clear plan, that is, to formulate policies and implement them.
Whether a reform can be promoted or not, whether it can be better implemented and resolutely implemented is the key to whether the reform can be successful.
In the past, Wang Anshi's reform of the law was not able to obtain the support of the local yamen, resulting in empty ideas and mere formalities, which made the reform frustrated.
Today's banking reform in Daqi is different.
The first is to tie up the interests of the central court and the local yamen to form a win-win situation.
Mainly in terms of savings and profits, the imperial court and the local yamen are responsible for their own people, property and property in proportion, and there are differences from place to place.
The second is the concession made by the central court in settling the national debt.
Some time ago, due to the indiscriminate issuance of treasury bonds, although the local prefecture and county yamen amassed a large amount of wealth in a very short period of time, due to their poor management, the funds were in deficit a lot.
In many places, debts are piled up and the burden is heavy, and the fiscal deficit has reached a shocking level.
For these places, Cui Wenqing adopted a tailor-made approach and treated them separately.
In addition to seeking the support of the government council and using the central funds to provide certain subsidies, he also adopted the method of purchasing the ownership of local banks to make the acquisition.
This involves the reform of the joint-stock system, and it is also the first time that Cui Wenqing has brought the concept of joint-stock cooperation into Daqi.
In general, everything went smoothly, and the local yamen also recognized Cui Wenqing's approach, although it did not reach the point of everyone's praise, but there were very few complaints against Daqi Bank in various places.
In the early summer of April, there was finally a hint of heat in the air of Luoyang City, and on this day, the imperial court issued an edict announcing that the issuance of silver tickets officially began in the territory of Daqi.
This time, the silver notes were made and handed over to the Bank of Hedong to issue the silver bills, which made great differences and differences.
The first is the denomination, in addition to the one tael, five taels, ten taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels that have been used, five hundred taels and one thousand taels have been issued.
The addition of two currencies with larger denominations is due to Cui Wenqing's assessment of the situation, and in view of the fact that there are more wealthy merchants in Daqi, it is convenient for the transaction of bulk goods.
The second is in the anti-counterfeiting, the use of the most advanced, and other imitation of the bamboo paper process, this method and the current habitual hemp paper is very different, whether it is gloss or fineness and the most basic paper texture, bamboo paper is ahead.
At the same time, the Daqi silver stamps also used engraving movable type printing, stamped with the Daqi Bank's Yangwen seal, both of which are not forged by the people, to ensure that the silver stamps will not be easily imitated.
At the beginning of the afternoon of this day, Cui Wenqing held a grand issuance ceremony in front of the yamen of Daqi Bank.
It can be seen that in the North City, thousands of empty alleys are boiling and lively, and the front of Daqi Bank is even more crowded, joining hands into clouds, sweating like rain.
Wang Anshi, prime minister of Daqi Bingbi, attended the ceremony and read out the edict of the Son of Heaven, and Cui Wenqing came to the stage to explain the issuance of silver tickets and explained in detail the specific use methods.
At the same time, he also announced that the bank savings system would be officially implemented on this day, and that traditional currencies such as copper, silver, gold, and cloth could be exchanged for silver bills.
In fact, for the silver ticket, the people of Luoyang City are no strangers, they have long heard or seen the paper currency issued by Hedong, many people are more praised for its convenient payment method, but it is a pity that the silver ticket of Hedong Bank can only pass on Hedong Road, which makes many people regret it.
However, it did not take long for the imperial court to finally introduce the issuance of paper silver tickets, which made many people, especially those merchants who had to make large payments, very happy.
Therefore, when the announcement of the issuance of the silver ticket was announced, it immediately attracted a cheer from the scene.
At this time, in the wine shop not far from Daqi Bank, Chen Xuan was standing side by side with Chen Ningmo, looking at the bustle in front of him and was speechless.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Ningmo took the lead to break the silence, and a happy smile rarely appeared on his face: "Brother Xuan, it seems that the silver ticket issuance and savings system is really popular with the people, and it is respected by the people. β
A hint of mockery appeared on Chen Xuan's face: "Heh, Ning Mo said that he laughed, this is the work of Chen Hong, Wang Anshi, and Cui Wenqing, how can this king have an inch?" β
"No, Brother Huang, you're wrong." Chen Ningmo shook his head and said, "On the court that day, it was Brother Xuan who didn't say a word, which was regarded as a tacit support for the bank reform, and later when the Queen Mother asked about this matter and wanted to oppose it, it was Brother Xuan who explained to the Queen Mother in time, so that the Queen Mother dispelled her concerns. β
Chen Xuan retracted his gaze and lowered his head and was silent for a moment, before he said lightly: "Ning Mo, no matter what, I am a Great Qi person, and I am also the direct bloodline of Emperor Taizu, I hope that Great Qi can be strong and rich at any time, this is also a matter of royal descendants." β
Chen Ningmo smiled and said, "Yes, we are all the blood of Emperor Taizu!" The same is true for the royal brother. β
The sentence "Imperial Brother" suddenly made Chen Xuan's face gloomy, and the corners of his mouth also drew a trace of cold folds and ripples.
Although Chen Ningmo had already seen that Chen Xuan's face was wrong, for the sake of Daqi and the royal family, he still said righteously: "Brother Xuan, to say something unpleasant, now the foundation of the imperial brother has won the hearts of the people, and you can not compare the imperial brother except for the support of the queen mother, at this time, you should be reconciled as before, so as not to make unnecessary fights, if Brother Xuan can work with the imperial brothers and brothers to create the great cause of Daqi together, and at the same time leave a name in history, you will definitely be able to get a perfect ending."
"Ning Mo, you are really too naΓ―ve." Chen Xuan rarely didn't accuse, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The matter has come to this point, it's like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." β
Chen Ningmo was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Chen Xuan smiled coldly, looked at her word by word and said, "If you were him, would you let go of a person who once had the luxury of the throne?" β
Chen Ningmo was stunned for a moment, and then he was dumbfounded.
"So...... Ning Mo," Chen Xuan patted Chen Ningmo's shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Instead of caring about me and Chen Hong, it is better to care about your own marriage first, you are not too young, and you will find a happy home." After saying that, he laughed again, and turned around.
Chen Ningmo looked at his back in a daze and disappeared, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, savor it carefully, and a sad taste came to his heart.
"Perhaps...... It's time to go to Huaijin's grave to pay respects...... It seems like it's been a long time since I've been there......"
With such a thought, Chen Ningmo sighed deeply, and a trace of sadness swept his brows.
