Chapter 212: A More Tangled Problem of Reserve Silver

Yang Reform tangled banknotes paper and other problems, Bi Ziyan gave the emperor an idea to still use the previous set of treasure money molds, this idea, let Yang Reform move, used it before, now use it, it seems that it should be possible, I am different from the previous is that I now have reserves, isn't it better than before? NPCs of the Ming Dynasty, don't be too demanding.

"Bi Aiqing is reasonable, if you use the previous set of treasure money molds, there should be no problem...... "Although Yang Reform decided to use the previous treasure money mold, he still couldn't help but scoff at the quality of the previous treasure banknotes, the quality was too poor.

The following three people, the heart is far less entangled than the emperor's mind, for the use of the original treasure money mold to suffer from gains and losses, all believe that as long as the treasure money can be cashed in time, it is a good treasure banknote, do not understand why the emperor has been entangled in the quality of this treasure banknote, why must the treasure money be made colorful? Do it that thick? It's a complete waste.

Yang Reform finally decided to use the previous treasure money mold, this is no way, now he is in a hurry, he can't afford to wait, since he has come to this point, then he has to go out, he can't wait for everything to be foolproof before leaving, that is not good.

“…… Since several people feel that there is no problem with using the previous set of treasure money molds, then use it,...... Omemo, take some treasure money that was printed before? ...... "Yang Reform decided to use the previous treasure banknote mold, so he had to take out the previous things and study how to print his own "Chongzhen Daming treasure banknote".

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty wait a minute, the slave will let people take it." This kind of thing, if the emperor wants it, let alone treasure money, even if it is the mold of treasure money, he can also make one, of course, it will take time.

Not long after, Wang Chengen came back with a stack of papers, handed it to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the treasure money made by the former household supervision, Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

"Well, good, good, give it to the two masters, and Bi Aiqing will take a few and take a look." Yang Gai took Wang Chengen's treasure money and looked at it carefully.

I'm a grass, Yang Gengai couldn't help but scold in his heart, where is this banknote, this is simply a piece of paper when you go to the toilet, if there is no paper when you go to the toilet, use it, you have to say, good paper ......, the paper is so bad, I can't say it, and the kind of beautifully printed and durable banknotes in later generations are absolutely not the same.

Yang Reform just settled down his mind, and couldn't help but churn, this kind of banknote is also too cheap, and this kind of banknote is super large, I am afraid that it is about the same size as the books in the previous middle school classes, so big, it is really a waste of paper, and the denomination is not the same size as the size of the paper, but the printed pattern has changed.

Yang Reform got this one, and it was printed on the top of the "Ming Dynasty Treasure Banknote", which is the head, a little below, printed with the words "Yiguan", and then below, it is a pattern, it is ten piles of copper coins, it is estimated that it is to show that there are ten mentions of money in this Yiguan.

Of course, although this treasure banknote is not well printed, however, there are some very powerful words printed very clearly below, although Yang Reform does not know many traditional characters, but, there are mostly simplified characters in it, Yang Reform can still recognize it.

"The household department is allowed to print, the Ming treasure banknotes and copper coins are used in common, the forger is beheaded, and the arrester is rewarded with 250 taels of silver, and the prisoner is still given property. Hongwu years and months. ”

Although Yang Reform has seen this kind of treasure money before, but I never think it is so powerful, and now I want to issue my own treasure banknotes, a look at this line of words, I feel powerful, I am a grass, this is simply a reward order! Whoever dares to forge treasure money, I rely on it, whoever denounces it will give him two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and return the prisoner's property, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty people are counting on that day to find a treasure money forged by others, if so, it will be rich, these two hundred and fifty taels, even in the 21st century, is considered a lot of property, not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, where silver is quite valuable.

Yang Reform now completely understands, why the people of the Ming Dynasty dare to print this banknote so roughly, and the anti-counterfeiting measures are so poor, it turns out that it is this powerful sentence that is working! I didn't feel that I didn't print paper tickets before, but now it's my turn to make paper tickets, and I am naturally very interested in this.

Seeing this, Yang Reform felt that this kind of paper money is very suitable for the toilet It is so kind, although the quality of this treasure banknote is not good, but unfortunately, it contains the words, it contains the law, but it is too powerful, if this sentence is put on the 21st century, this sentence is printed on the top of the RMB, I am afraid that the people of the whole country are looking forward to artificial counterfeit money.

Yang Reform now looks at this "broken paper" more and more cordial, and said: "This Ming treasure banknote, it is really good, not bad......"

Faced with the emperor's inexplicable praise of this treasure banknote, several listeners were puzzled, and they didn't know why the emperor said this. The printing of this Daming treasure banknote, that rough, is obvious to everyone, not bad?

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty mean by being right?" Xu Guangqi was very curious, what the emperor was referring to.

"Hehe, I said that he was good, I meant that his sentence was good, the forger was beheaded, and the accuser was rewarded with two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and the prisoner was still given property, this sentence, this sentence is really powerful, powerful! I think this sentence is very problem-solving, very problem-solving! Yang Gengai explained with a smile, why must the new banknote be used, the reason is that the new banknote in addition to beautiful, durable, can have a part of the anti-counterfeiting function, which is not the treasure banknote, Daming treasure banknote, it can be said, there are almost no anti-counterfeiting measures. However, now Yang Gengai has seen the words written on it, and he is quite satisfied with the "anti-counterfeiting" function of this treasure banknote, and is ready to print this powerful sentence on his banknote. As an anti-counterfeiting function.

Awesome? Several people heard this word for the first time, and they didn't understand what it meant for a while, but judging from the literal meaning of the word that the emperor said, it was probably to praise the words printed on this treasure banknote for being very powerful and powerful.

"In this way, I decided to still use the mold of this treasure banknote to print new banknotes, but this new banknote cannot be as big as the treasure banknote, probably only this big, such a big ......, well, according to the different denominations, the size of the new banknotes is also different, just like the few banknotes that a few people are holding in their hands now, I have divided their denominations, different denominations have different sizes, so that it is beneficial to distinguish the face value of this banknote......" Yang Gengai gestured with his hand, explaining the difference in his new banknotes.

Sun Chengzong picked up the banknotes in their hands again, looked at them, and then compared them with each other, and found that the colorful new banknotes were indeed not the same, some were written on them for one point, and there were one dime, some were five jiao, some were one yuan, and some were picked up yuan.

"Your Majesty, the minister sees that the new banknote is indeed different on it, and the numbers marked are also different, I don't know how to exchange it with the silver coin?" Xu Guangqi asked, intending to see how the emperor was going to divide the face value.

"This, one cent, is equal to one copper coin, one dime is equal to ten copper coins, five jiao is equal to five copper coins, one yuan is one hundred copper coins, equal to ten jiao, and this yuan is a thousand copper coins, equal to one tael of silver......" Yang Gai explained his own exchange relationship.

Fell into silence below, although the emperor also printed treasure money this time, however, it is very different from before, before, the lowest was from a hundred wen, but it is far from the treasure money printed by the emperor now, which even uses treasure money for a penny, so the cost of this treasure money is not cheap!

Xu Guangqi thought about it again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Oh? What to say? ”

"Your Majesty, the treasure banknotes printed by the household department in the past were all printed from a hundred yuan, and Your Majesty printed from one penny, this ...... The cost is probably expensive! ”

"This? ...... "Yang Reform has not considered this problem, only know that the country and the people in the future are using paper tickets, metal coins, just as auxiliary coins to use, as for the question of whether it will lose money, Yang Reform really did not consider, if paper money is more expensive than metal money, then the future generations will be full of food and support, and all the paper money will be issued?"

After hesitating again and again, Yang Reform still feels that the issue of banknotes from the issuance of a penny, should not be a big problem, once people accept this banknote, form a habit, this large amount of transactions are used in paper money, their own money will come, this, the question of whether a penny will lose money, is not in the scope of Yang reform's consideration.

"This, I think, just start printing from a penny, this penny is a loss, this can be earned back from a dollar, this, print the new banknote a little better, and also make the people feel that this penny also has such a large piece of paper, it is also worth the money, and it can increase the credibility of this new banknote, isn't it?" Yang Reform still decided to act arbitrarily according to his own ideas, and if he wanted to do it, he should do it thoroughly, and if he wanted to do it, he had to solve the problem from the root.

Xu Guangqi a few people, you look at me, I look at you, I really can't figure out the emperor's approach, to say that the emperor is to collect money, but this even a penny has to use paper money, and to print the banknotes so beautifully, I'm afraid that the cost is more than a penny, this is purely a loss-making business! Still counting on printing treasure money and making a fortune from it? I really can't figure this out.

Yang Reform is considering the country in the future, which is not the paper money used? If paper money will be used at a loss, then will those countries in the future be idiots? I also want to follow the footsteps of those countries in the future, and I can't be wrong if I think about it.

There was silence for a long time in the platform.

Several people who were trustworthy to Yang Reform were thinking about what the emperor would gain and lose by doing this, and Emperor Yang Reform was thinking about how he could use paper to buy things abroad in the future, so that his currency could become the reserve currency of other countries.

"Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, the treasure banknotes issued this time, uh...... No, new banknotes, how much is ready to be issued, how much reserve silver is there? Xu Guangqi has been entangled in this question for a long time, and has asked the emperor several times, but the emperor has never answered positively, and now, when it comes to having to ask clearly, this issuance scale and reserve silver, has always been an unavoidable hurdle, if you are not even ready for this, then what is there to talk about reissuing treasure money?

When it comes to reserve silver, Yang Reform is even more entangled, he calculates how much silver he still has in his inner money, a calculation, seven seven eighty-eight, there is not much left, after the last Wei case received a large sum of silver, in the inner money, there are five or six million taels of silver, which can be regarded as a big business, very rich, but there are too many places to use money, seven, seven, eighty, eight, one cent everywhere, there is no silver left.

After Xu Guangqi asked below, he stared at the emperor, only to see the emperor's face, one will be red, one will be white, but he is not willing to say how much money can be taken out of his inner money to make the reserve silver of the treasure banknote, this time the treasure banknote is issued, the emperor is ready to do it alone, then he has to pay all the money from the inner money, don't count on the household department, besides, the current household department, there is no money.

Yang Gai held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Alas...... The emperor's family has no surplus food! ......" Yang Reform sighed, when the emperor was a poor egg, who would believe it? Who said that the emperor was rich all over the world? Sitting on the throne of the world? Whoever tells himself this again, he will be anxious with him. Yang Gengai secretly scolded those who talked about how rich the emperor was all day long.

Not only Xu Guangqi, but the other two also grew their mouths and looked at the emperor in surprise, this emperor really dared to admit it! Talking is also scared to death! What does it mean that the emperor's family has no surplus food? What about us, the ministers? What is the embarrassment? What is the embarrassment?

Xu Guangqi's head had already been knocked unconscious by the emperor's words, and he asked blankly: "Your Majesty, didn't you receive millions of taels of atonement silver a few days ago?" Why is there no more now? ”

Xu Guangqi's surname is really straightforward, how can this kind of thing be easy to say? The atonement silver of the Wei case, if you count it seriously, can be regarded as a stain on the emperor's wealth, and now asking it like this, isn't it embarrassing to the emperor? However, Xu Guangqi hadn't realized how out of line his words were.

Yang Reform didn't care what others thought of the atonement money he received from the Wei case, he only knew that his own emperor, that was called the Emperor of Mortgage, called the Emperor of Salary, that day he couldn't send out the silver, and his own emperor would come to an end, and there was a rope waiting for him on the coal mountain.

"Alas...... Although I received four or five million taels of silver, there was not much left, and I didn't spend it! It's all over the place to use money......"

The emperor's words had just begun, and the few people standing below were dumbfounded, a Wei case, the emperor got four or five million taels of silver? This figure is the first time I have heard the emperor mention it, before, although everyone knew that the emperor had made a lot of silver, but absolutely no one thought that there would be as much as four or five million taels, most of them thought that it was only about two million taels, where did you know that the emperor made four or five million taels of silver quietly? I have a new understanding of the emperor's ability to collect money, but what is even more stunned is that the four or five million taels of silver plus the rest of the original internal money, and now the emperor is actually poor and has spent it all, these ......, these people instantly have a new understanding of the emperor's ability to spend money. In a word, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan played bungee jumping between heaven and hell.

“…… In the second half of the year, I promised to make up for the border army's arrears of 2 million taels, Mao Wenlong, I promised to pay 100,000 taels of silver every year, I also have to train the new army, which also requires money, Yuan Chonghuan is going to Liaodong, I have to prepare some silver for him, so that he can go on the road, Li Ruolian has opened a money bank, I have already allocated 1.2 million taels, counting on him to collect some interest....... I still have to build big warships, big ships, and all kinds of other expenses, and in the palace, a large number of people want me to live, and it is difficult for me! The millions of taels of silver, before they could cover the heat at hand, went out again...... "Yang Reform counted what expenses he needed to use, and there were many of them that were not explained, such as Sun Liniang's glass factory, the expansion costs, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, were not counted, and the Grand Theater, this, was not counted, and the queen's father, it is estimated that the money is not enough, I am afraid that I will have to pay a little more, and the Hongyi cannon that I am going to build, this, it also requires a lot of money, this, I didn't say it to anyone else.

Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan listened to the emperor count down his family property, and counted down those places that needed money, just like listening to the Buddha's lectures.

Yang Gai only cared about calculating his family property and where he used money, and he also noticed that his audience was already demented.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... "Yang Reform had to cough a few times to remind his several descendants.

Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan woke up like a dream, damn it, they were made so out of shape by what the emperor said, it really shouldn't be, so many years of cultivation and kung fu are in vain.

Several people hurriedly apologized to the emperor together, they shouldn't have been so out of shape in front of the king.

Yang Reform was speechless, maybe what he said was indeed a bit scary, and his attitude of spending money was a bit perverted.

Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, the two people's understanding of the emperor has changed a lot, this emperor is not ordinary! Quietly got so much money, and quietly spent so much money, it is really unusual, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to say that you spend money and scatter it, it is estimated that this one has to occupy the first place.

Bi Ziyan is stupid, four or five million taels of silver, plus the rest of the original internal money, this money, added up, is enough for the Ming Dynasty to earn two years, this, not enough to spend? This...... Bi Ziyan holds his own money for money, the numbers are still relatively good, more sensitive, and the amount of silver he handles every year is also massive, but after listening to the emperor's income and expenditure, he feels that his own ability and knowledge are not enough to see compared with the emperor! I still have to learn from the emperor, of course, if I can manage the emperor's finances, watching tens of millions of taels of silver pass through my hands every year, it is not a kind of enjoyment!

Regarding the emperor's "perverted" remarks just now, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan all pretended not to hear it, this is purely the emperor's family matter, it is better not to ask, since the emperor said that the emperor's family has no surplus food, then they have to find another way.
