Wang Jingze said: "Then how can you do it, you military masters are working so hard, why do you have to pay 10,000 yuan a month." General Zhang, please rest assured, we spent 50,000,000 and 5 million yuan to win the gold mining rights today, and we can still afford to pay a little hard money for the military masters. ”

Zhang Zongling said: "We have military discipline, in fact, we are not in accordance with the rules when we talk about this mine protection." However, His Majesty the Emperor knew that our situation here was special, so he gave us the right to cut first and then play, so I remembered this matter of protecting the mine. You know, we are going to the north, and the main problem now is grain and grass, and in the winter, there is no way to find food, let alone go north, so before the railway is built here, we have to do something unruly for the sake of grain and grass. ”

Wang Jingze said: "General Zhang, I won't say anything else, I will admit it for five hundred taels in January, but the grain and grass of the Far North Military Region will be handed over to our Chamber of Commerce." As long as you fight, I will send grain and grass wherever I go, and I will never let my Ming army fight hungry. ”

The quartermaster said: "In fact, the main problem of food now is the section from Kulun to Xiaohai, and the railway is only built to Kulen, and we have no way to wait for it to be repaired to Xiaohai before launching an attack, so the transportation of this section is a problem." ”

Wang Jingze said with a smile: "Our Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce is not very good, but caravan transportation is our strength, please rest assured General Zhang, the problem of grain and grass, I, Wang Jingze, am here to exaggerate, everything has me, I will be worry-free." ”

After Wang Jingze left, the quartermaster stretched out his thumb to Zhang Zongling and said, "The general is really smart." ”

Zhang Zongling smiled and said: "There is no doubt about the transportation capacity of the salt merchants, we have affection and righteousness, but remember, the money must be sufficient, we are not short of money now, but we are just borrowing their transportation capacity." In addition, the matter of the gold mine should also be treated, and it is best to catch the thief, so that it will be good to show that we have not won his favor in vain. ”

The quartermaster said: "We really didn't get his favor in vain, and five hundred yuan can be regarded as a very low friendship price." ”

The household department got 50,000,000 and 5 million in income at once, and the money did not actually exist, it was all in the bank's account. In this case, Bi Ziyan and Li Zhizao made a proposal to the emperor that they could start to consider issuing banknotes.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Emperor had already ordered the use of treasure money and old copper coins to stop in the fourth year of the Apocalypse. The treasure money was quickly stopped from circulation, and the old copper coins were not as convenient as the copper coins, but the copper coins were only a few years old after all, and the total amount could not catch up with the previous copper coins anyway. So in fact, the copper coins on the market are still in circulation, but Jinyiwei has made great efforts to crack down on privately minted copper coins, and if they are caught, they will directly kill their heads and confiscate their family property, so the copper coins circulating in the market are mainly officially minted copper coins.

The main reason why treasure banknotes are abandoned by people is that the paper is poor, the old banknotes are not recycled, and the depreciation is serious. And this time, if we want to issue new banknotes, we must improve in these aspects.

The Civilian Manufacturing Bureau, a subsidiary of the Ordnance Bureau, has been able to produce stiff and durable paper, and has been folded 200 times without obvious burrs. Therefore, it can be used as a raw material for banknotes, and the four-color overprinting technology of the Printing Research Institute is very mature, although it is not very detailed, but it can be regarded as very clear.

The maximum value of the treasure banknote is only the same, so the maximum face value of the banknote issued this time is only one yuan. In the past, the ratio of the treasure banknotes to the silver taels and copper coins was constantly changing, but this time, the banknotes are issued in a fixed denomination and can be exchanged with silver and copper coins at any time.

In the winter of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, the newspaper published the "Measures for the Management of Paper Money" and began to build momentum for the new banknotes. In the first month of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, the banknotes were officially issued. Banknotes are divided into four denominations: one dollar, one dime, one cent, and one penny, corresponding to one silver dollar, one dime of copper coins, one cent of copper coins, and one penny of copper coins. Except for one cent, which is equivalent to five texts, the others are in decimal.

All banknotes can be used to buy items at agricultural cooperatives and can also be used to pay taxes. The denomination of banknotes is not affected by their age, and damaged notes can be replaced with new or copper coins at the bank.

Any act of counterfeiting banknotes, once discovered, shall be beheaded by all those involved, regardless of whether they are principal or accomplices, and all their property shall be recovered, including the property of their families.

This law is more ruthless, as long as you participate in the manufacture and sale of counterfeit money, you will definitely die, and your family's property will be confiscated and returned to the public. Some large families have big businesses, and it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous children, and as long as one of them participates in the counterfeiting of paper money, the property of the entire family will be confiscated.

Paper money has not yet been issued, but it has already set off a wave of separation fever among large families. This kind of thing happened once in the past when the "Measures for the Management of Officials" was issued, and every time someone in a large family entered the officialdom, the family would let him set up another door, that is, a separate family. Because after officials commit corruption and bribery, one of them is to confiscate the family property, and if the family is not divided, the entire family's property may be lost at any time.

At that time, it was only the officials and the family to be separated, and now it is not a problem for the officials, and anyone may be involved in the counterfeiting of paper money, so that the big family can only be divided into small families, so that in case of an accident, the whole family will not be blamed.

When Wei Zhongxian reported to Zhu Youxiao that the big family was busy separating the family, Zhu Youxiao was stunned, and then began to laugh. This is really unintentionally inserted into the willows, I have long wanted to break the big family, the formation of a small family, which will greatly reduce the family's suppression of human nature, but I have not thought of a good way, I can't imagine that now this banknote issuance has received an unexpected effect.

Wei Zhongxian asked strangely, "Holy Lord, isn't the big family very good?" The old slave's family used to be sparsely populated, so there was no one to help with anything. But the Holy One seems to want them to take it apart? ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "This question is actually not complicated, just like you think that it is good to be born in a big family, because you want someone to help you." So if everyone thinks like this, if everyone helps each other in something, where does the court and the law be placed? Of course, the help in the big family will not be as fair as the law, there is only one principle, help relatives and not help, and if this continues, people's hearts will get worse, so this is not a good thing. ”

"Another big family, which has a large population, and the relatives and concubines have different relatives and relatives, the size of power, the number of shares, and countless contradictions, all of which are decided by the patriarch, who can guarantee impartiality? Everyone planted the public land together, because it was not their own, so they would not take it seriously, which was extremely inefficient. A good good field, maybe you will go hungry in the end, and it is best for such a big family. ”

"Remember that power cannot be privately owned, and property cannot be used publicly. The big family accounts for both of these points, and if it goes on like this, there will be endless troubles. Therefore, I have a big goal, the big families in the world become small families, and the property must have a clear ownership. Sometimes the so-called public ownership of property is much more terrible than private ownership. Because it is only nominally public, but in fact it is only the private property of one person or a few people. ”
