Then, Song Yingxing nodded, began to take the coin and let everyone circulate it first, and began to explain it casually, and also demonstrated in public, and taught these people how to distinguish the authenticity, etc., many people did it themselves, knocked on the ears to listen, and carefully observed the patterns and patterns of the coin, etc., and then praised the delicacy and convenience of the coin, but then some ministers came out and asked: "Your Majesty!" Let me ask if this coin is to prepare the current silver as the main currency in my Ming Dynasty? ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing, do you have any suggestions or ideas?" ”

The man thought for a while and said: "The imperial court has issued treasure banknotes before, the effect is not good, this time the issuance of this coin, the minister view of this coin is a lot more than the silver two benefits and Wei Chen weighed it, and the same silver two quality seems to be the same, the people should be easier to accept, the main thing is to implement the imperial court to first establish a set of system to reassure the people, in addition to the previous issuance of treasure banknotes The imperial court had better have measures to eliminate the impact of the treasure money to the greatest extent.

"Not bad! Are you a waiter of the Ministry of Rites? Chongzhen asked curiously.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The servant of the Ministry of Rites is Wen Tiren!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he said in his heart: "It turned out to be you kid!" So he asked, "Then Aiqing tell me what she thinks!" ”

Wen Tiren thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty! The minister thought that he could set up a separate agency to be in charge of the matter of this coin, although the household department was in charge of the world's silver and silver, but there were too many things and more complicated, so the separation could show the importance of the imperial court to this matter! Then the coin can be implemented before the announcement can be issued, can be promoted in Beijing first, look forward to the effect, and land reform and military reform, from the point to the surface of the gradual promotion, the step can not be too big, in addition to the promotion of the time can send the officials of the household department under the protection of the soldiers can be exchanged in the division, let the people come to exchange, set a time limit, limited to five days, these five days of exchange, each exchange of one or two silver can be given ten copper coins, you can do some such rewards, stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, After five days, there is no such reward, and the exchange is compulsory, and all the merchants in the Beijing Division, the ticket number, etc., are all involved, and only the coins can be collected for trading, and the large amount of exchange can go to the newly established institutions for exchange, which can ensure the promotion of coins in the Beijing Division in a short time! I believe that with the people's trust in the imperial court, it should not be difficult to complete! That's right! After the coin is promoted for a period of time, such as a month, if the people feel that the coin is inconvenient, they can also go to the newly established institution to exchange it back at any time, so that the people can rest assured that they can see the sincerity of the imperial court, and they cannot open it at the beginning, otherwise the minister is worried that all this work will be in vain! And this month, the minister suggested that all the officials of the Jingshi, the nobles and so on should issue coins! ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said appreciatively: "Very good!" Is there anything else Aiqing would like to add? ”

Many officials looked at Guo Yunhou and found that his old god was there, and he didn't care at all, and then saw Guo Yunhou come out and say, "Your Majesty!" The minister seconded the proposal! ”

Suddenly, those people were dumbfounded, this is clearly snatching silver from the household, don't you care? Immediately, one by one, they seconded the proposal, and the boss of the household department had no opinion, and they would not have an opinion. Subsequently, the cabinet also expressed no objection.

Guo Yunhou was laughing in his heart, Lao Tzu is not stupid, Lao Tzu is about to enter the cabinet, why bother to be boring, besides, Lao Tzu is busy to death now, how can he have spare time to toss, besides, I am still the leader of this newly established institution, haha!

Chongzhen smiled and said: "In this case, do what Aiqing said, you and Bi Shilang will sum up and list a charter, and this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan said at the same time: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"There are still treasure money, Aiqing continues to talk!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that judging from the current issuance of this treasure banknote, it was impossible for the imperial court to recycle it all, and it was impossible to recycle it at the original price, after all, the imperial court did not have so much silver! Wen Tiren paused and looked at the two bigwigs of the household, only to see the two of them cast approving glances at him, and then continued: "In this case, the minister has three recommended strategies!" ”

"Not bad! Go on! Chongzhen smiled.

"The best policy, the imperial court can issue a policy ready to launch coins, but the specific time is not announced for the time being, I believe that the Ministry of Industry does not have enough coins for exchange, and at the same time release information, and announced that coins will be used as the main currency in the future, do not recognize other currencies, then the imperial court can send a person disguised as a businessman, can sell a large number of the current treasure banknotes, then the price of treasure banknotes will plummet, although the current treasure banknotes have become like waste paper, but there are still people who have expectations, Then when the price of this treasure continues to decrease to a certain extent, the imperial court will secretly purchase all of them, and finally destroy them all, of course, this also has a time limit, which is limited to the progress of the Ministry of Industry; The middle strategy is to start now, the imperial court secretly began to purchase treasure banknotes, and directly invalidated, but some people will definitely find that the cost of the imperial court will be much larger if the price is raised; The last decision is not to recognize the treasure banknote at all, and not to announce it, that is, the treasure money cannot be exchanged for coins! It may affect the credibility of the imperial court! Wen Tiren finished in one breath.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, and at this time, even a needle falling to the ground could be heard, Chongzhen coughed lightly and said: "Wen Aiqing's suggestion is very good!" Do you have other ideas to talk about, and you are all eager to speak! ”

On behalf of the Cabinet, Sun Chengzong first said: "The Cabinet recommends the best policy!" ”

The two of the household department expressed their support, and then several other Shangshu and waiters also seconded the proposal, and everyone at the bottom was helpless if they wanted to protest, and the boss agreed, what else could they do, unless they didn't want to be mixed, and immediately seconded it.

"In this case, the matter of coin promotion will be handed over to Wen Aiqing and Bi Aiqing! In addition, how are things going with the Central Bank of Daming? Chongzhen asked.

"The Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty?" Suddenly, everyone was stunned again.

This time, it was Cheng Ji who said: "Your Majesty! The site has been selected in Beijing, and it is not far from the palace, which is safe and secure, and second, to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to this institution! The main body is still a wooden structure, not enough warehouses are all made of cement, and there are Jinyi Wei and Dongchang and kilometers of forbidden troops strictly guarded, twelve hours of non-stop patrol, personnel have been arranged! ”

"Well done! Ladies and gentlemen, this Daming Central Bank is the institution that Wen Aiqing just said is specifically responsible for this coin! Chongzhen smiled.

Suddenly, except for the cabinet and the household department, everyone else suddenly realized that these people had already been prepared, and even if they objected, it would be useless and just a formality.

"In that case! Then the matter is decided! Retreat! Chongzhen smiled.

"Retreat!" Cao Huachun roared.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! The crowd knelt down.

In the following days, coins gradually appeared on the market in Jingshi, of course, they were only taken out by Bi Ziyan and Wen Tiren for experiments, they wanted to test the acceptance of the people, but the acceptance of the people seemed to be beyond their expectations, for example, once the two went to the restaurant to eat, and rarely ordered some meat, of course, these tests were approved by the top for nothing, not counting wages, the two of them naturally ate better, and when they finished eating, they paid with silver coins, at first Xiao Er was stunned, Don't dare to receive, called the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper looked, this silver coin is relatively novel, and very exquisite, it is also printed with the pattern has been the emperor's year name, and he tested it is indeed a silver coin, and the silver content is still very high, after all, it is a character who deals with silver all day long, and he weighed it and found that even the weight is the same as the equivalent silver two, and suddenly had an idea, and then look at the two, he knows both of them, Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan's reputation is still good among the people, especially Bi Ziyan, who is deeply popular with the people, Immediately guessed that this may be a new move in the imperial court, and received this silver two is not a loss, it really can't be melted, and immediately received their coins by the way and asked them if they still have, he is willing to exchange at the same price, all replaced, which made the two unexpected, and then the two also went to purchase some things for the imperial court, and the merchants were very happy to collect the coins, all asked them if they still have it, they want to exchange it for this coin, of course they are also puzzled: "Aren't you worried that this thing can't be used as silver?" ”

The reply they got was basically, even if it can't be used as silver, it's not bad to collect, and it really can't be melted down the same can be silver, after all, it is made of silver, and it is very exquisite, some people even said that they want to take it back and process it into jewelry, for children to wear, Tujili, so, a strange phenomenon appeared, this coin in the market is in short supply, and some people are even willing to pay ten taels of silver for a tael of coins, such a situation is beyond everyone's expectations, So the imperial court decided to announce the policy of coin promotion in advance, the central bank of the Ming Dynasty was formally established, the issuance and exchange of coins was opened, because the coins were not enough in the early stage, only the daily limit of exchange could be provided, and the exchange work in the other region was also unusually smooth, there were no incentives at all and the supply was in short supply, and the coins were officially launched and entered the market of the Ming Dynasty. Coins have been very popular with the people for a period of time, so that in the later period Chongzhen wanted to completely cancel the coins and replace them with paper money, there was no way to implement it, only the coins and banknotes ran at the same time, but the material of the coins began to change in the later period, from gold, silver and copper to iron, until the coins all withdrew from the market, and the gold, silver and copper coins that fell in the market became collectibles and were collected, and the value of the later period was gradually rising, which was what everyone did not think of, this is all a later story!
