When the merchants arrived at the Imperial Bank in the west of the city, it was full of people, and they had all come to exchange silver dollars. With so many people coming to exchange silver dollars, the silver dollars of the Imperial Bank in the west of the city are simply not enough to exchange.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, our bank's silver dollars have been exchanged, you can wait three months to come back, or go to another bank to exchange them." The treasurer of the bank.

"Shopkeeper Li, help, think of a way." A group of businessmen said.

"Everyone, this is also a helpless thing, you also know that our silver dollar inventory in Shanxi is not like Beizhi, and each silver dollar inventory is only tens of thousands of silver dollars. And Shanxi does not have a money bureau, just now Boss Wang alone exchanged 10,000 taels of silver dollars, plus scattered exchanges, our bank really has no silver dollars. Shopkeeper Li explained.

"The Imperial Bank in the east of the city should still have silver dollars, right?" Someone asked.

"I don't know about this, but the silver dollars in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County, Yuci County and other counties must be sufficient, and sometimes we need to transfer silver dollars from the counties below." Shopkeeper Li said.

"Then shopkeeper Li, I'll leave first." Seeing this, everyone said.

"Guys, do you know if you should say something?" Shopkeeper Li said.

"Please also ask Shopkeeper Li to make it clear."

"The Imperial Bank will no longer issue silver bills in the future, only treasure bills, don't you notice that in fact, the function of this new treasure note is similar to that of silver bills, and even better than silver bills? The new treasure banknote can not only go to the bank to exchange silver dollars, but also pay taxes, but the silver ticket is not able to pay taxes, and the new treasure banknotes are easy to carry, and there is no need for any fees when exchanging silver dollars. Let's think about why the past treasure money has become waste paper? Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

The words of the shopkeeper Li are very reasonable, it can be said that a word wakes up the dreamers, these businessmen just heard the word treasure banknote, their heads are hot, completely confused, the treasure money really left a bad impression on them, when they hear the word treasure banknote, it is difficult for them to immediately equate the treasure money and the silver bank. And Shopkeeper Li, as a bystander, naturally sees it more clearly than others.

"Shopkeeper Li is reasonable, I just suddenly heard the word treasure money, and I was dizzy." Someone nodded and said.

"Shopkeeper Li's words are indeed very reasonable, but the silver bill is different from the treasure bank, I deposited one hundred taels of silver dollars to the bank, and the bank gave me one hundred taels of silver bills, and the treasure banknote was directly printed and distributed by the imperial court, but if the new treasure banknote of the imperial court is issued too much, once the silver dollar is not enough to exchange, this treasure banknote will be worthless." A businessman is a businessman, and you can see the key to it at once. In history, the Jin merchants were able to vote all over the world, which was not unrelated to their understanding of paper money.

This person's words resonated with the businessmen present, and if Zhu Youxiao was here, he would definitely promote this person to be responsible for the issuance of treasure banknotes.

"Boss Zuo's vision is really powerful, no wonder he became one of the top businessmen in Shanxi so quickly, but it's a pity that you guessed wrong, Your Majesty Shengming, this time the new treasure banknotes were only issued 100,000 taels, and the temporary tax only collects new treasure banknotes, everyone also knows how much the tax in Shanxi is about a year, which means that some people can't get the new treasure money to pay taxes, and maybe you will ask the court to issue more treasure money." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

"Is it true that the new treasure banknote was only issued for 100,000 taels?" Hearing the words of Shopkeeper Li, someone couldn't help but ask.

"It's true. But I can't guarantee that there will be more new banknotes in the future? Shopkeeper Li said.

After listening to Shopkeeper Li's words, everyone also had their own considerations. Here, no one dares to guarantee how many new treasure banknotes the imperial court will issue in the future. Some people decided to exchange all the treasure money for silver dollars, and some people decided to exchange half of them first, and then make a decision depending on the situation. But no one decided to leave all the money in his hand.

There is still a long way to go in the implementation of paper money in the Ming Dynasty, and this is the process of rebuilding the credibility of the imperial court.

……

On 11 August, Nurhachi died of illness at the age of 68. In order to compete for the ruling power of Houjin, and Sun Chengzong to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, the two sides launched peace talks for the first time, but the result of this peace talks was destined to be the same as the results of the original historical peace talks, and the two sides fell into a process of bargaining.

Zhu Youxiao completely handed over the decision of Liaodong to Sun Chengzong, and Zhu Youxiao supported all Sun Chengzong's decisions, all he needed was for Sun Chengzong to hold Liaodong and give him enough time to settle down.

……

After receiving Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, Sun Yunqiu rushed to Beijing in September. Sun Yunqiu is just an ordinary craftsman, and he can be summoned by the emperor, for him, it is simply a wealth that fell from the sky, and he rushed to the capital almost all the way non-stop.

"I heard that you are proficient in grinding lenses, and I need you to help me make a microscope when I am summoned to Beijing this time......" Then Zhu Youxiao explained the microscope carefully.

"Although the villain has never made a microscope, the villain can still make a magnifying glass and other things, and if it is the same principle as the magnifying glass, the villain thinks it should be possible to make it." Sun Yunqiu replied respectfully.

"It's not that it should, but it must be made, this thing is very important to me, if it is made, I will not be stingy with rewards, if I am satisfied, I can even make you a viscount." Zhu Youxiao said.

If there is a reward, there will be a punishment, although Zhu Youxiao did not say what the punishment is, but in Sun Yunqiu's heart, since the rewards are so heavy, the punishment will definitely not be light, and what Zhu Youxiao wants him to do is impossible to refuse in this era. Sun Yunqiu stiffened his head and said, "I wonder when Your Majesty needs a microscope?" ”

"I'll give you a year, okay?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The villain made a microscope within a year." Sun Yunqiu didn't dare to bargain, he had to say.

"Come on, take Sun Yunqiu to the glass workshop." Zhu Youxiao commanded.

……

After seeing Sun Yunqiu, when Zhu Youxiao returned to the harem, Xiaoxiao also came over today. Zhu Youxiao recruited Xiaoxiao to discuss the matter of socks, and Zhu Youxiao had already made a batch of socks with a socks making mechanism.

"Your Majesty, this is woven from silk." Xiao Xiao asked.

"Yes, do you think if you take it out and sell it, can you sell it?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It should be no problem to sell, but I don't know how big the sales will be if I put it in Fengqiuhuang?" Tiny replied.

The socks of the Ming Dynasty were sewn from silk cloth rather than woven from silk.
