220 Great Lords
"The purpose of this Daming banknote is the same as that of Daming treasure banknotes, which are used to replace silver taels and copper coins. I don't need to talk about the benefits, right? Convenient, no worries about quality, etc. And the difference between this banknote and the treasure banknote is that I have put a lot of effort into using it to build a new silver money system of my Ming Dynasty. ”
When Hu Guang said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the banknote in the hand of a famous soldier in front of him and said: "You can see, the beauty of this banknote is far from being comparable to the treasure banknote." If you want to fake it, there is almost no possibility of it, so you don't have to worry about the money you receive will be a problem! This is one of them. ”
At that time, the Daming treasure banknotes relied on severe punishment and deterrence, but if there was a profit, someone would do it, which was for high risk and high return. But the printing technology of this Ming banknote is the top of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is from the ink or printing skills, this is equivalent to adding a bumper on the basis of severe punishment, and therefore, Hu Guang has the confidence to dare to say so.
He saw that the corporal was very concerned about his words, so he continued: "The second and biggest difference is that this banknote is not something that the imperial court can print if it wants to!" For example, if there are only 10,000 taels of silver, then I will only allow me to print 10,000 taels of Ming banknotes; If there are 1 million taels of silver, then I will let me print 1 million taels of Daming banknotes, and there will never be more. So, you should be able to understand, right? ”
The emperor gave such a simple and easy-to-understand example, if you still don't understand, you are a fool, Xu Wenbo thought to himself. But he still couldn't figure it out, what did the emperor mean by this?
Of course, he was not the only one who had such thoughts, and the other soldiers also had expressions of crying and laughing on their faces, not knowing whether they understood or not?
Hu Guang noticed their faces, and then continued: "Why did I do this? I'm here to keep this note valuable! A tael of silver banknotes is worth a tael of silver, and there will never be only five coins left! For this reason, I also have a rule, that is, the banknotes sent out can be exchanged for the amount of silver printed on them to the imperial court at any time, and there is no charge! ”
Xu Wenbo was shocked when he heard this, is this true? He couldn't believe it, his eyes stared at the emperor, and they opened wide.
I saw the emperor turn around and wave his hand to the Hubu Shangshu behind him, and then after seeing the Hubu Shangshu bowing, he also walked to the front of the stage and said solemnly to the officials in the audience: "Put the silver out and prepare to exchange for paper money!" ”
After finishing speaking, Bi Ziyan sighed in his heart, he was going to work all morning. However, on the surface, he didn't dare to say anything, took a step back behind the emperor, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's ready!" ”
Xu Wenbo could see clearly that those officials took out silver taels of different specifications from the boxes behind them and placed them neatly on the table, reflecting the winter sun, which was very eye-catching.
He was really surprised when he saw it clearly. He looked up at the emperor a little incredulously, could it be that what the emperor said was true, and he could exchange the banknotes in his hand for real money?
Thinking like this, he always felt a little impossible, so he turned his head to look at his comrades around him, trying to find an answer. However, he found that the people around him were also suspicious, and they were looking around like him.
Hu Guang watched these things on the stage, understood what they were thinking, and announced loudly: "This banknote is the most important cornerstone for me to reform the government and increase the treasury!" Therefore, we will not tolerate the depreciation of banknotes. Now the treasury silver is here, if you can't trust the imperial court, if you feel unsure of holding the banknotes, then use the banknotes to exchange the silver taels, I have made them ready, and they can be exchanged now! ”
Hearing this, the soldiers of King Qin's army were stunned. Do you believe it? Or are you afraid that there will be bad consequences in the past, or are you thinking about something else? Anyway, for a while, no one reacted.
Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan turned his head to look at his colleague and found that Shen Yongmao also happened to be looking at him. A wry smile appeared on the faces of the two of them, and they shook their heads slightly in unison.
This scene was seen by Xu Wenbo, who was not far from the stage. He understands that this is not optimistic, and he feels that the emperor is busy in vain!
He turned his head and looked at the young emperor, his gaze slowly swept over them, and there seemed to be a kind of anticipation in his eyes, or a kind of determination?
Xu Wenbo couldn't help but look down at the few pieces of paper in his hand, no, it was a few Daming banknotes. The emperor just said that the court wants to save people, and there is no other reward. If you can bring a few taels of silver back, you can make the old mother happy, and you can buy something delicious for the old mother, and it can be regarded as a good meal for the New Year. If you bring this banknote, can you still respect this filial piety?
He was a little undecided, after all, the reputation of the Ming treasure banknote was completely stinky. But at the same time, his mind flashed a scene about the emperor, as well as a few words he had said in the morning......
Hu Guang saw that the soldiers of the Qinwang Army seemed to be a little moved, or a little hesitant, looking left and right, for fear that he would be the first to be punished, waiting for others to change first?
To tell the truth, he really hoped that these soldiers would support him and not exchange paper money for silver taels. But he also knew that although there were only a few taels of silver, they could all be sent to them, which was a lot of money for them. With the infamous reputation of the original Ming treasure banknote, it is understandable that they want to exchange it for real money.
Thinking of this, he thought about the decision he had in his heart, so he no longer hesitated, and said loudly again: "Are you scruples about something? What I've said definitely counts! If you want to change it, don't twist Nini! ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the whole room, ready to watch the first soldier come out to exchange for banknotes.
Xu Wenbo was originally doing an ideological struggle, but he was urged by the emperor like this, especially when he heard the words of the big man, blood gushed on his head, and he suddenly stood in place and shouted loudly: "Don't change it, the emperor treats us like this, whoever changes it is not a big man!" ”
When the comrades next to him heard this, their faces also turned red, and they echoed loudly: "If you don't change it, you won't change it!" ”
There are one and there are two, and among the 100,000 soldiers of the Qinwang army, the cries of "not changing" rang out one after another, endlessly!
When Hu Guang heard this, his gaze swept over Xu Wenbo's face, and then looked at the soldiers who said "no change" one by one.
Their faces were flushed and emotional, and they seemed to be in a much better mood after shouting. Looking at those faces, he was also a little excited!
This point was also discovered by Xu Wenbo, who was watching him. For some reason, he immediately didn't even have a trace of regret in his heart. Such a good emperor, when he needs support, how can he not support it!
At the same time, he also looked at the two Shangshu behind the emperor, and when he saw their stunned expressions, his mood suddenly became more cheerful, as if he had done something amazing!
