Chapter 213: Another Village

platform.

There are a few monarchs and ministers, you are looking at me, I am looking at you, what I said today is really a bit unexpected, which makes the monarchs and ministers very embarrassed.

The emperor has no money, but he wants to reprint the treasure money, and he also wants to redeem the treasure money in time and make a reserve of silver, which makes several ministers a little embarrassed.

The monarchs and ministers all looked at each other stupidly like this, Sun Chengzong was really helpless by the emperor, and said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much silver can Your Majesty take out as reserve silver?" According to His Majesty's thoughts, one silver issue two treasure notes, if His Majesty does not have much money, he can issue a little more, and it is also feasible to issue three treasure notes for one silver. Sun Chengzong couldn't stand it anymore, the emperor was crying poor, and he had no choice but to teach the emperor to pour water into the treasure banknote.

“…… Master Sun, I'm here, I'm afraid that I can get out at most, one ...... About 500,000 taels, no...... Counting Li Ruolian's loan money, one million taels, I'm afraid it won't be less...... "Yang Reform counted and counted his family property, and finally said the number in his mind, originally wanted to say one million taels, but found that he didn't have much money left, so he said 500,000 taels, remembering that if Li Ruolian's money bank was changed to a bank, Li Ruolian could have a lot more silver to make reserve silver, and if he calculated, there should be one million taels.

Call! …… Hearing the emperor say that there are one million taels of silver as reserve silver, several people breathed a sigh of relief, this emperor can take out one million taels of silver to make reserve silver, this, counting, is also a lot, this is already very generous, it used to be all white stripes!

"Your Majesty, if there are millions of taels of silver as reserve silver, and if you don't move there, the minister dares to guarantee and issue two or three times the treasure banknotes, there is no problem at all." Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor actually had a million taels of silver to take out the reserve silver, if so, this can be seen as the emperor is quite sincere, you know, the Ming Dynasty's annual income, when it was small, only two million taels, take out the Ming Dynasty's annual income for half a year to make reserve silver, redeem treasure money, I have to say, the emperor is doing his best, this is a little water or something, Sun Chengzong feels nothing.

“…… Oh, yes! Your Majesty, if there is a million taels of silver as reserve silver and treasure banknotes, there must be no problem. Xu Guangqi also breathed a sigh of relief, if this huge amount of money is used as reserve silver, then this treasure banknote can really be regarded as a treasure word.

"Your Majesty, there is so much silver as reserve silver, there is no problem at all, there is no need to worry at all, the minister thinks that even if five times the treasure banknote is issued, it is no problem." Bi Ziyan also seized an opportunity to speak, and this time, he taught the emperor to inject water more severely, five times. In Bi Ziyan's opinion, the emperor took out one million taels of silver as reserve silver, which can already be regarded as the emperor's great sincerity, not to mention five times, even if it is ten times, it is okay.

In fact, as soon as Yang Reform said "one million taels", he regretted it, Li Ruolian's 1.2 million taels was a usury, if he counted this into the reserve bank, then how to put usury? This reserve of silver, but it can't be moved! Will he take another one million taels out of his inner money? Yang Reform really wants to grasp his scalp, this next month, the elite of the Ming Dynasty will enter the Beijing Gongwei Beijing Division, training, rewards, equipment replacement, this is no silver, it is absolutely impossible, this big warship, the new army, etc., no matter what, can not be without silver. Where do you get your own money? Although there should be a lot of silver on paper, or will be a lot of silver, it is a pity that it is still on paper and about to be on it, and not a single tael of it has entered his own pocket.

“…… Alas...... Actually, I want to say that although Li Ruolian has more than one million taels of silver there, I have asked Li Ruolian to take it for a loan, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to recover it for a while...... This reserve silver can't be moved...... "Yang Gengai regretted it on the spot, very entangled! If Li Ruolian's money becomes reserve silver, then the profitability of his "enterprise" will decline a lot, and he is very entangled, Yang Reform wants to have reserve silver, and he doesn't want to give up the business that is currently profitable.

......Hiss, the three people on the ground were hurt by the emperor's repentant words, if there is this million taels of silver as reserve silver, then the treasure money has credit, and now the emperor regrets ......, then this treasure money is afraid to become waste paper, this half day of saliva, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

“…… Alas...... I think that Li Ruolian's money there is better not to move, and the profit there is not bad, it's a pity to give up! It's best to raise some money from elsewhere to make reserve silver...... "Yang Reform's face was hot, this is regretted in the court, just do it if you don't have a face, anyway, there are only a few of your own people here, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes, and your cheekiness is not as important as silver!"

A few people on the ground are panicking!

Sun Chengzong was silent.

Xu Guangqi lowered his head and thought about something.

Bi Ziyan looked at his toes, as if there was a strange treasure on his toes.

In the platform, it was so embarrassingly quiet, Yang Reform was very depressed, there was no silver, it was absolutely impossible! New banknotes must be issued, and this reserve of silver is necessary, but one's own business cannot be stopped no matter what, and future expenses must be set aside no matter what.

Xu Guangqi thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, saying: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Yang Reform, who was depressed, heard that Xu Guangqi had an idea, and immediately asked, "Oh, hehe, if Master Xu has any ideas, just say it." Yang was depressed for a long time, and he didn't know where to get a huge amount of money to make a reserve for himself.

Xu Guangqi looked at several colleagues around him, then at the emperor, and at Wang Chengen beside the emperor, gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's idea is just one word, 'Wang'......" After Xu Guangqi finished saying the word "Wang", he stopped talking. Keep your head down and don't look at the emperor.

Yang reform is depressed, a "king" word? Do you want to borrow money from someone surnamed Wang? The one surnamed Wang is rich? Yang Gai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what the word "king" meant.

"Master Xu, tell me, what does the word 'king' mean?" Yang Reform couldn't hold it back, so he still asked Xu Guangqi.

“…… Your Majesty don't be embarrassed for the minister, the minister said this word, it is already a last resort, after the minister says this word, he will not admit that the minister said this word, His Majesty thinks more about it, the minister really can't say more...... "Xu Guangqi originally gritted his teeth and said this word, but now when he is asked by the emperor, this forehead is a green tendon, and he can't say it if he is killed, if others know that he instigated the emperor to do this, then he can't get by?" I still have sons and grandchildren.

Sun Chengzong muttered the word "king" for a long time, probably understood something, and exclaimed: "Brother Zixian...... This ......" and then stopped talking. Sun Chengzong understood, but the words immediately stopped. It's better not to say this matter, if you don't say it, if you don't see the words, you won't have a handle, and if you don't admit it when you die, there will be no such thing in the world, you are worthy of the sky, and you are worthy of yourself.

Bi Ziyan saw that Sun Chengzong looked suddenly enlightened, and he was also surprised, and understood what the word "king" meant by Xu Zixian, and now, he lowered his head even lower, even Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong didn't dare to say this clearly, they could only play dumb riddles with the emperor, and they were still more leisurely. This really can't be said or managed.

Emperor Yang Reform is left alone, and he still doesn't understand the meaning of this king character. Yang Reform is in a hurry! wanted to ask Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi didn't say a word, Sun Chengzong didn't speak, and Bi Ziyan lowered his head into the crotch of his pants.

Wang Chengen is a native of the Ming Dynasty, thought about it for a long time, understood, quietly beside the emperor, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master Xu asked Your Majesty to ask the vassal kings for money." "This kind of thing, Wang Chengen's scruples are obviously not that big, the sky and the earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, in Wang Chengen's eyes, there is only the emperor, those who are princes and vassal kings or something are all floating clouds in Wang Chengen's eyes, unlike Sun and Xu, who have too many scruples as courtiers, and need to play dumb riddles with the emperor. One or two vassal kings are nothing, but this matter is going to take all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty! Even Sun Chengzong didn't dare to say it clearly, in case this word reached the ears of those vassal kings, it would not be a good time, he couldn't be an official for a lifetime, and there was a son, a grandson, and a son, didn't he have to say it? This is to offend all the vassal kings to death! Let the emperor rob the princes and vassal kings of the money, those princes are very domineering, very domineering, it is strange not to find trouble with them, when something happens in their Zhu family, they are not human beings on both sides of the courtiers. That is, Wang Chengen, he is a eunuch anyway, and he only has the emperor in his heart anyway, so he dares to talk to the emperor directly.

"What? Looking for ...... "Yang Reform was shocked!" It turned out that Xu Guangqi asked himself to ask those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty for money. Funds? Apportionment? Cutting the domain? Still is? Yang Gengai suddenly found that the princes of the Ming Dynasty, whom he had never paid attention to, had come into his sight. Looking for them to make money? What the hell is going to do about this? Want? Rob? Snatch? The group of pig-fat princes at the end of the Ming Dynasty was a bit "famous" in history, but he forgot about this stubble.

Seeing that the emperor understood the meaning of the word "king", Xu Guangqicai said again: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty does not plan to use the money in Li Ruolian's money village as reserve silver, the minister is willing to store the surplus and unused silver in your family's bank, so isn't Your Majesty's money bank?" In this way, isn't Your Majesty able to free up money to make reserve silver? "The method Xu Guangqi is talking about now is very simple, just save his family's silver in the emperor's bank, and then free up the money in the bank to use as reserve silver. To put it simply, it is to absorb savings and lend them. In fact, what I secretly said was to let the emperor go to the homes of various princes in the Ming Dynasty to loot, and let the princes of the Ming Dynasty save some money into the emperor's bank, isn't there money in this bank? There are a lot of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, and each prince saves tens of thousands of taels, and this million taels of reserve silver is nothing. However, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, only secretly, not in words. If this is to let the group of princes know that it is a bad idea of a certain minister to release their blood, they are afraid that they will release someone's blood.

"Ahh!!h Yang Gai jumped up happily, and smashed a fist in the palm of his hand, how could he forget such a simple thing? Why did you forget the bank's savings absorption function in later generations? Since it is a bank, it is an important function to absorb savings! How did you forget about this? What's more, Xu Guangqi asked himself to find those vassal kings to absorb the reserves? This...... What kind of talent is it? This...... It's really a way to make money! As soon as Yang Reform thought of the fatness of the group of vassal kings at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he drooled. Yang Reform's deepest memory is that it seems that Li Zicheng attacked a big city, for a long time, many times did not attack down, one of the important reasons is that the prince in this big city took out a huge amount of money to reward the sergeants, the sergeants have money to take, the combat effectiveness is naturally high, with the tall city wall, Li Zicheng only has to eat the deflated, Yang Reform thought, if he finds such an enlightened prince to absorb the reserve, I am afraid that the problem is not big! This kind of prince is quite reasonable, he cries and cries poor, explains more, pulls the relationship, it should be no problem, not to mention that this is just absorbing savings, not forcing them to donate money, there is interest every year, if this kind of prince has a few more, his own reserve silver of one million taels, I am afraid that there is no problem at all! Thinking of this, Yang Reform was happy, this Xu Guangqi is still a little clever! No, great wisdom...... Several people were taken aback by the emperor's big move. Seeing the emperor's joy, I understood that Xu Guangqi's idea might have moved the emperor.

Bi Ziyan also had a little look, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to deposit the silver taels that are not needed at home in His Majesty's money to share His Majesty's worries!" Bi Ziyan immediately followed up, this is a good time to show loyalty! Although he may not have a lot of silver, he must do enough for this gesture.

Sun Chengzong frowned and was still thinking about Xu Guangqi's problem, still worried about Xu Guangqi, seeing that Bi Ziyan suddenly followed up, only to realize that he had fallen behind, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zixian's idea is indeed high, it is really wonderful, and the minister also stores the silver that is not used at home in His Majesty's money bank, in order to solve His Majesty's worry that he has no silver as a reserve, in addition, the minister will call on all the ministers in Beijing to actively save money in His Majesty's money bank, so that His Majesty can free up silver for reserve silver." Sun Chengzong also came to his senses, Xu Guangqi's method is indeed high, but this idea can only be discussed by the emperor and those princes themselves, and those of them who are courtiers are not good to be mixed in, if this is hated by all the vassal kings, this is not good! On the surface, he called on the officials in the capital to deposit their own family's silver in His Majesty's bank, which can be regarded as solving a little of the emperor's troubles of having no money.

Sun Chengzong is dedicated to the emperor to do business, money, now there is no complaint, no accusation, follow the emperor to settle the account, Sun Chengzong found that if the emperor does nothing and is an obedient "good" emperor, then there is only one way in the Ming Dynasty, that is, to wait for death. If you want to count on the little bit of silver that the household department has released into the inner treasury, it is strange that the emperor does not starve to death.

"Good! Good! Good! …… Good! Master Xu, Master Sun, this is a good idea! That's a good thing, a good thing! …… I pay interest, I pay interest ......, I see how much interest I pay! Save for a year...... There should be a five-percent interest......" Yang Reform was so happy that he almost danced with his hands, with the bank, and then found those fat pig as fat vassal kings to absorb savings, his predicament could be greatly alleviated, and he was busy reporting the interest on his bank's fixed deposit to these people.

A few people on the ground looked at each other again, paying interest?

“…… Dare to ask Your Majesty, pay interest? What does this mean? Xu Guangqi asked puzzledly, this is saving money in the money bank, can't the emperor give us the money?

"Yes! It's to pay interest to those of you who save money! Not much, a hundred taels of silver, a year, only five taels of silver interest, don't dislike it, don't dislike it...... Haha...... "Yang Reform is really happy, why didn't he think that he could still save money when he opened a bank?" In the Ming Dynasty, a lot of thinking has been solidified! Now that I think about it, I am the emperor, and I can uncover the rules of those bureaucrats and vassal kings, let them all save money in their own banks, and use the money to train the army, build large warships, emigrate, and fight, so that they can survive the dangerous period of these two years! After the first two years, I have countless gold fingers to make money, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the interest?

Xu Guangqi and a few people were a little surprised, this has always been saving money in the bank, isn't it our people who save money to give money to the bank? Why is it that the emperor still pours us silver? It's a strange thing, the emperor's hand is too scattered.

"Your Majesty...... The minister did not dare to accept this profit. Xu Guangqi resigned.

"Oh? Why? Why not, it is a matter of course to deposit money in the bank and give interest! Yang asked puzzledly, thinking that at the beginning, he didn't go to the bank to do things, and when he was fine, he looked at the bank's deposit and loan interest. I remember some. I remember that in the year I crossed over, the interest of the bank was about three or four percent, but I forgot whether it was borrowed or loaned.

"Back to Your Majesty, this has always been the time when you deposit money in the bank, and the depositor pays the money to the bank, which is called the 'storage fee', and now Your Majesty also gives money to the depositor, which is ...... Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this bank will ......" Sun Chengzong was very worried, according to the emperor's method, in a few days, the bank would have to close, and the money of his colleagues would be wasted.

"Ahh What the? At...... Do you want to save money and the person who saves it gives money to the bank? Did I hear me right? "Yang Reform was taken aback! I almost even said the words "in ancient times", in ancient times, the heart of the money bank, TMD is not ordinary black! After eating the depositor, then the borrower. Eat at both ends! It's really the first time I've heard of this rule.

"Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, this is absolutely true. You can't be wrong......" Sun Chengzong replied immediately.

"Back to Your Majesty, indeed, if you deposit money in the bank, you have to charge a storage fee." Xu Guangqi also said the same.

“…… Indeed......" Bi Ziyan also said. This is common sense! This emperor is in the deep palace and doesn't know the life of the people! Several people thought so.

Belch...... Yang Reform "fell" and sat on the dragon chair, and suddenly "jumped" up again, laughing "haha".

"Good! Good! Good! This thing, well! That's it, that's it! I decided to pay the interest to those who kept money in my bank, not much, five percent per annum. Yang Gai was taken aback by the rules of the ancient bank, and then remembered that with his own money bank that pays interest, then others don't sharpen their heads and save money in the bank! You can borrow chickens to lay eggs! Go your own way and let others have no way out.

A few people on the ground saw that the emperor was jumping and screaming, and returned money to the person who saved the money, called interest, this, the emperor's courage is really big! Ideas, extraordinary thoughts! Doing things is really unusual!
