Chapter 636: Treasure Money (II)
The argument between the two was as inconclusive as before, and Huang Zongxi did not go to Nanjing with Fang Yizhi in the end, but he did not really cut off his robe with Fang Yizhi.
He had mixed feelings about Zhai Zhe, he said that "the chaos of the world is not the rise and fall of one surname, but the sorrow and happiness of the people", but what he said, he may not be able to fully understand and fulfill.
The Jiashen upheaval had a tremendous impact on the minds of people of insight in the Donglin Party. Long before Jiashen, Chen Zilong had already moved towards the road of application in the world. Huang Zongxi's direction is different, and his thinking lies in the origin of the drastic changes in the world - the system and the people's heart, which is a question that has not been perfectly answered after hundreds of years.
Confucianism is ashamed of not knowing anything, and Fang Yizhi has dabbled in both directions. There are no clear boundaries in what they study, and they even have deep attainments in many fields.
It's been six years.
After being beaten by indignant scholars on the banks of the Qinhuai River, Fang Yizhici returned to Nanjing. Six years later, things have long been different, and I don't know which businesswoman to marry when I used to be good.
The Qinhuai River is no longer what it used to be, the riverside is deserted, and the best place in Nanjing has become the shore of Xuanwu Lake.
Just after the scorching heat, the autumn wind blew on his face, the river square here was a rare summer resort, but after Xu Yiyang swept the river square late at night, the rich businessmen did not dare to come here to have fun, and the official training did not dare to buy a shop here.
Fang Yizhi stood on the riverside for a long time to remember, then turned around and left. He was thinking about his youthful years, and he was also thinking about the drunken gold fans back then.
The ruined Hefang is telling that the best days of the Donglin Party have passed.
Fang Yizhi wasn't sure if anyone in the Loyalty Camp could remember him, and if the Fushe Shizi knew that he had indeed knelt at the feet of the Dashun Army, what would Huang Zongxi and the others think of him? Before the Jiashen upheaval, he had worried, but after the Jiashen upheaval, nothing was important.
The day before yesterday, he quietly came to Nanjing City, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the city, the regent Prince Prince immediately appeared in front of him.
Confucianism emphasizes respect for teachers, but it is completely different when it comes to the imperial family. After Zhai Tianjian saw him, he still saluted as before, and he didn't dare to accept it.
In the past two days, Zhai Zhe has not summoned him, and he was able to revisit the Qinhuai River. I heard that there are many Qinglou wineries on the side of Xuanwu Lake, which are more prosperous than the Qinhuai River in the past, and the nobles of Nanjing City gather there, but he is not interested.
When he returned to his residence, Zhai Tianjian was waiting, and after following him into the house, he said, "Sir, my father wants to see you tomorrow." â
Zhai Tianjian's maturity was so fast that Fang Yizhi was impressed, and sure enough, it was better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles.
He didn't ask, Zhai Tianjian continued to add: "Lord Hubu Shangshuzong went to Taiping Mansion with Shopkeeper Liu a few days ago, and only came back yesterday. This is the news he revealed to his teacher.
"That's right," Fang Yizhi smiled. Xingbao banknotes are inseparable from the household, and the Rishengchang is a money village parasitic on the household, which is equivalent to the inner treasury of the former emperor, but it is not exactly the same.
Zhai Tianjian saw that the teacher was confident, so he didn't say anything more. He didn't stay long, and said a few words of farewell: "Tomorrow, I will come here to pick up Mr. â
Fang Yizhi sent him to the door.
Zhai Tianjian is very tall, fifteen years old this year, and his height is already close.
He watched Zhai Tianjian get into the carriage at the post house, and said to himself: "Next year will be the age when you can get married." â
The regent is Chen Zilong's son-in-law, and the scholar of the Fushe has another fantasy. The wedding of the prince must be a gathering of the whole world, and after the happy event, the Zhu family will forever become a thing of the past.
The next day.
Zhai Tianjian arrived at the post house on time, and Fang Yizhi boarded the carriage.
There were guards from the Regent's palace riding horses to open the way, and the carriage was smooth all the way. Fang Yizhi sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, closed his eyes and pondered. He agrees with the treasure banknote, but now is not the time to implement the treasure banknote, he must dissuade Zhai Zhe today.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.
Zhai Tianjian got out of the car first and opened the curtain, and Fang Yizhi could only bear it. He stepped out of the carriage and saw the two stone unicorns with teeth and claws at the door.
"Sir, please come in." Zhai Tianjian did not let the teacher stay any longer.
Fang Yizhi smiled: "I don't like formality, the son doesn't have to be like this." Did the prince tell you to do this? â
Zhai Tianjian said respectfully: "Mr. has taught me for many years, and it should be so." "There is no wave on his face,
Fang Yizhi smiled knowingly, he knew him very well as a disciple. Zhai Tianjian is silent and can hide his thoughts, but he is not such a diligent person, it must be specially instructed by Zhai Zhe.
Walking into the palace, two carriages were parked on the bluestone ground on the right.
Ning Sheng greeted him, first greeted Fang Yizhi, and then greeted Zhai Tianjian, and said with a smile: "Zong Shangshu and Shopkeeper Liu have arrived." â
Zhai Tianjian retired, and Fang Yizhi followed Ning Sheng inside.
The place of discussion is on the right side of Zhai Zhe's library, where there is a small hall.
Fang Yizhi walked to the door and saw Zhai Zhe and Zong Mao and Liu Quan talking happily, and Zong Mao was even waving his gestures. Ning Sheng went inside first to tell him, and only after he got permission did he come out and lead Fang Yizhi in.
Zhai Zhe was promoted from King Jin to Regent, and the rules were very different from before.
Fang Yizhi walked in slowly, and Zhai Zhe ordered the guards to give him a seat, and he would not serve tea again.
Zhai Zhe looked at Fang with wisdom and said, "The three of you have arrived, originally I wanted to call Huang Taichong, but I didn't expect him to misunderstand me." I invite you here today to discuss the matter of making the Ming treasure banknote. â
These three men were the most capable courtiers worthy of his trust. The abilities of Zong Mao, Fang Yizhi and Liu Quan have been proven. He drew such a strong lineup, which shows the importance of Daming treasure banknotes in his mind.
"It is imperative to make treasure money." Zhai Zhe set the tone first, and then changed his tone and said: "But how to do it, such as layout, anti-counterfeiting, line face value, line number, line time, especially how to limit the abuse of treasure money, the three of you have to draw up a procedure for me." â
Zong Mao, Liu Quan and Fang Yizhi each had their own thoughts, and they couldn't say anything for a while, so they could only listen first.
"A treasure note is not a piece of paper, a treasure note is a piece of silver, a load of rice. Shopkeeper Liu and Fang Mizhi are not court officials, but I will not determine the chief official among the three of you. From this day, maybe a year, maybe two years, the three of you will draw up a charter for me to make a treasure bank. I'm not afraid of a long time, but I'm afraid that you don't think carefully enough, and only the charter that the three of you agree can hand over to me. â
He has already stated the most important principle of the banknote. Although the three people in front of them can't understand it thoroughly, they must find a relatively perfect procedure with their ingenuity and the lessons learned from the two failures of Yuan Bao and Ming Bao Yuan.
Liu Quan really didn't know how to be a shopkeeper who was proficient in money and goods, so he was the first to think about it, and said, "The prince's idea is really amazing. If it is as the prince said, the treasure banknote is like a silver ticket stored in the ZĂ i Rishengchang Money Village. In recent years, the Rishengchang has a good reputation, and wealthy businessmen often use the Rishengchang silver ticket to trade bulk goods, and the treasure banknote is like a silver ticket with a small value. â
Zhai Zhe was overjoyed and said, "Yes, this is exactly the way of thinking." "Liu Quan is the least intelligent of the three, but he has been dealing with money all year round, and he has a sensitivity to such things that others cannot match.
Zhai Zhe continued to joke: "As long as the world believes that the silver ticket of the Rishengchang can be exchanged at will, you can even fake the silver ticket and trade it." â
"Ah" Liu Quan opened his mouth wide and shook his head to veto: "This matter must not be allowed." Although this method can be greedy for a while, it can destroy the foundation of eternity. Rishengchang does non-local exchange and daily income, and the financial resources are rolling, so there is no need to take this risk. Besides, as soon as this method is opened, there will be one and two, and sooner or later it will lead to a catastrophe. â
Zhai Zhe nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Liu is a person who understands, but the imperial court's treasure banknotes are similar to the banknotes, but they are different. â
Fang Yizhi listened to this for a while, turned his thoughts, gave up the idea of dissuasion before entering the door, and asked: "Lord Wang, I only want to ask, who will control the treasure banknote?" â
This statement points to the most dead hole, no matter how perfect the charter is, it also needs someone to implement it. He remembered what Huang Zongxi said before leaving, no one can control it perfectly.
Although the treasure money has a hundred benefits, it is like a flood of beasts.
Zhai Zhe can't answer this question head-on right now. He had his own vision, but now was not the time to say it. He didn't explain, and went straight to: "Draft the charter first"
Fang Yizhi no longer insisted, he wanted to go back to Huang Zongxi to discuss.
After entering from Fang Yizhi, Zong Mao, who was extremely excited just now, did not speak again. Xingbao banknotes should have belonged to the household department, but now there are two more people who have decentralized power. Fortunately, he was familiar with both of them, and they weren't people he hated.
In front of the household department, a series of arduous fortresses were placed, and the salt administration was reformed, and the different land endowments of various provinces were reformed. For example, in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang and Nanjing, the policy of exempting landless workers from the Ding tax will be implemented in order to promote the exhibition of cotton spinning and weapons workshops.
For the time being, it is impossible to implement the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry, and Zong Mao can only find various fine-tuning methods to find silver.
The conversation lasted for an hour, and it was also said that this year the imperial court would directly collect grain as a field tax in 16 counties to fill the gap in the granaries of the households.
After staying in Nanjing for a day, Fang Yizhi embarked on the journey home. Treasure money is a science, and he has to study it well.
This is also the purpose of Zhai Zhe looking for him. Zong Mao and Liu Quan can find a reasonable way to make treasure money, and Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi can turn these into a science.
It will take some days for Zhai Zhe to profit from Xingbao banknotes.
Fortunately, this year's Northern Expedition army won successive battles and recovered Yangzhou Mansion and Shaanxi, and Rishengchang was still able to borrow silver from wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and Huguang, and the silver entered the household department once and became the military resources of the Northern Expedition.
Jiangnan produces grain, and there is still money left to form a cavalry, and money and food are not a top priority.
The matter of discussing the treasure money here was over, and the Jinyi Wei secret agent returned to Nanjing. Zhai Zhe has been staring at Zheng Zhilong, but he didn't expect bad news from Guangxi first. The governor of Guangxi, Qu Shi, whipped the messenger who went to Guilin to deliver the letter, openly declared that Zhai Zhe had imprisoned the saint, which was a conspiracy to rebel, and officially raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch.
