Chapter 731: Zhenwu Ingots

Lao 14 This is aimed at expanding the pattern of interests, so that the beneficiaries will sincerely support and maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty! Kangxi glanced at him silently, so it seems that the old fourteen sold the shares of the Qing Dynasty ocean trade fleet, sold the sea trade routes, encouraged the Jin merchants to establish the 'Jin Hesheng' ticket number, advocated the marriage of the Manchu and Han, carried a large number of people into the flag, abolished the lowly nationality, and improved the status of craftsmen, all for this purpose!

What does it mean to return to the heart of the world? Only when there are common interests, and only when the interests of all strata are tied to the interests of the imperial court, can we truly be called the heart of the world!

From the very beginning, the old fourteen took the road of equal interests, and the beneficiaries of overseas feudalism were the royal family and the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners, and the continuous expansion of overseas expansion and overseas trade would inevitably vigorously promote the hundred industries of the Qing Dynasty, and the beneficiaries were officials of all sizes and gentry and merchants. The large-scale conscription of ordinary people into the army is to draw the small people into the ranks of beneficiaries.

With the continuous expansion of the new navy guard, with the acceleration of overseas feudalism, overseas expansion, and overseas trade, the number of people benefiting from all strata of Shinong industry and commerce will become larger and larger, and while they enjoy the benefits of the overseas expansion of the Qing Dynasty, the rule of the Qing Dynasty will become more and more stable.

Old Fourteen, this can be regarded as the extreme use of the overseas expansion of the Qing Dynasty! Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but be slightly excited, he has reigned for more than 50 years, focusing on winning the world's scholars, and the old 14 has expanded to all levels of Shinong industry and commerce, this is the real hero who catches the world in one net!

If this continues, within ten years, the Qing Dynasty will completely solve the situation of eliminating the situation of controlling more with less, and win the sincere support of all strata of the government and the opposition, even if the Eight Banners system is abolished. Even if he is in power, he is willing to abolish the Eight Banners system in exchange for the prosperity and stability of the Qing Dynasty, in exchange for the real heart of the world!

Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled slightly: "A good game of chess is worthy of my favor for you, but I still want to tell you that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." Don't rush everything. In addition, I would like to tell you one more sentence, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no disciples. ”

Seeing that Kangxi did not say a word about the destruction of the Eight Banners system, but instead praised and encouraged and admonished, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel relieved. He knew that Kangxi's words were aimed at the upcoming rectification of the officials, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "The emperor's teachings must be remembered by the emperor, and he will not dare to forget them for a day." After a slight pause, he continued: "The emperor has just come to the world, and the ice is getting worse. He also prayed that the emperor Ama would move back to Beijing, and the emperor would be able to be taught every day. ”

Back to Beijing? Kangxi glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said: "The new policy and the reform of the military system, the royal clansmen of the Beijing Division, and the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners may not all be happy and convinced, and they are short-sighted, although they dare not speak, but they have a lot of whispers in their hearts. If I return to Beijing. It is inevitable that the noise will come every day, but it is still comfortable here. Take a break. ”

Seeing that Kangxi was so outspoken, Zhenwu was not good at speaking again, Kangxi paused slightly, and then smiled and said, "Go and say hello to your mother." ”

Out of the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhenwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Kangxi can have such an attitude, and it is not in vain for him to run this trip, Kangxi is not against breaking the Eight Banners system, he doesn't have to look ahead, he can do it as much as he wants.

On the first day of the lunar month, the 'Four Great Heng' launched the Qing Dynasty silver dollar - Zhenwu ingots at the same time in each branch of the Beijing Division.

As soon as the news came out, the royal family of the Jingshi, the princes and nobles sent people to support the scene, and sent people to the nearest semicolon to exchange a large number of silver dollars, they must be supportive, Zhenwu clearly said that the imperial court handed over the minting rights of silver dollars to the 'Four Hengs' in order to deliberately subsidize them, the better the circulation of silver dollars, the higher their profits, how can they not be supportive? Now that the New Year is approaching, give the next person a case of silver, and the reward is used.

The size of the officials of the Beijing division is naturally not far behind, this is the new money issued by Zhenwu Yuji on the throne - Zhenwu ingots, the issuance and circulation of this money, the significance is not small, as an official of the Beijing Division, this idea of consciousness is a must, although knowing that the fineness of the silver dollar is slightly insufficient, but also can not care about the loss, but also sent people to exchange, otherwise the new money issuance will suffer a cold reception, they are afraid that this year will not be good.

Followed by the merchant gentry who liked to use foreign silver, the Qing Dynasty issued their own silver dollars, they naturally wanted to be the first to see, in order to make a comparison, the 'four Heng' semicolons were immediately crowded with people who came to exchange silver dollars, and each semicolon will indicate the detailed data of Zhenwu ingots one by one, posted in a conspicuous place, and can be seen when entering the store.

The color is white and soft, the casting is exquisite, the size is moderate, easy to carry, and the Zhenwu ingots that are convenient to use are exchanged for a good reputation, although it is only ninety percent silver, and not as good as ninety-five official silver, but these advantages are enough to make up for the lack of fineness.

Early the next morning, the Beijing newspaper published Zhenwu's edict, the Qing Dynasty silver dollar equal exchange, the equivalent value of the national circulation, and the silver two at the same time circulation, since the second year of Zhenwu, the imperial court should be taxed by the silver dollar to use the silver dollar to levy, and then also attached the silver dollar and copper money exchange ratio, one yuan for 560 Wen, and indicated, the exchange of silver dollars and copper coins will be adjusted four times a year according to the actual exchange situation in the market.

As soon as the Beijing Newspaper was issued, it immediately established the status of the legal tender of the silver dollar in the Qing Dynasty, and the equivalent circulation in the whole country was the most popular among merchants, and the exchange with copper coins was adjusted in a timely manner according to the actual exchange value of the market, so that the common people were extremely enthusiastic about the silver dollar, and the face value of a dime of the silver dollar was only 56 wen to be exchanged, and they were also fully capable of exchanging and using small silver dollars.

As soon as the news spread, the gentry and merchants and the common people flocked to the 'Four Heng' to exchange silver dollars of different denominations, and in just a few days, the silver dollars began to circulate widely in Beijing.

Not only in Beijing, but also in Guangzhou, Jiangning, and Taiyuan, the number of silver dollars exchanged in the Beijing newspaper has also increased, and the minting bureaus in the four places have also begun to work overtime day and night to mint silver dollars to meet the increasing exchange needs.

The issuance and circulation of the Zhenwu silver dollar in the Qing Dynasty not only unified the silver coins of the Qing Dynasty, promoted the wide circulation of silver coins in the country, saved the loss of silver in the circulation of the provinces, but also saved all the people from being exploited for the second time when paying taxes, and all the gentry and the common people were extremely fond of the Zhenwu silver dollar.

Only the local officials of the Qing Dynasty were sullen, the issuance of the silver dollar, once again proved Zhenwu's determination to abolish the consumption of envy, although now the abolition of the consumption of envy is still in Shanxi trial, Zhenwu has no clear will, but the silver dollar circulation, whether there is a will to abolish the consumption of envy has no meaning, because the silver dollar circulates throughout the country, there is no difference in fineness, no need to return to the furnace to cast, how to lose?

Qianqing Palace West Warm Pavilion.

Looking at the secret folds sent from all over the place, Zhenwu finally understood, from the Ming Dynasty to Kangxi, for more than a hundred years, why did he know the benefits of silver dollars, but no emperor was willing to fully promote silver dollars, the reason was in the fire consumption! The introduction of the silver dollar virtually cut the legitimacy of the fire consumption, which not only harmed the interests of the officials but also the interests of the imperial court.

Officials can't get additional benefits from the fire consumption, and the imperial court has to take out a part of the tax as the office expenses and local funds of the local yamen, thinking about this, Zhenwu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and made trouble for a long time, all of which were made with money, and it seemed that the emperor who had no money had a hard time this day.

After reading the secret fold, Zhenwu couldn't help but take out the gold watch and take a look, it was already eleven o'clock, he couldn't help frowning slightly, why hasn't Lao Shiyin entered the palace yet? Yesterday, I received a report that I had arrived at Tongzhou Station, and I was wondering, so Bao Fuquan bowed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Dun Yinqi is handing over the sign to meet you." ”

"Xuan!" Zhenwu said with a smile.

After a while, Yinqi walked in quickly, glanced at Zhenwu sitting on the kang, and knelt down at the door and said, "Minister Yinqi respectfully invites the emperor to Sheng'an." ”

"No courtesy." Zhenwu smiled slightly: "Sit down and enjoy tea." ”

"Thank you for your grace." After bowing his head, Yin Qi got up and smiled: "The first time the minister went to Nanyang, it can be regarded as an eye-opener, and the eyes of the starling and ninth brother are red with jealousy. ”

"You can blow hard." Zhenwu smiled in a relaxed mood, all the brothers, now the old ten can let go in front of him, he is also rare to relax, as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Brother Ten is not seasick?" ”

Listening to the two words seasickness, Yin Qiden said with an unnatural face: "Your Majesty, this is not a pot that you don't open, why don't you get dizzy?" Dizzy! When I first arrived in Karopa, I felt like I was stepping on cotton after I went ashore, but the minister didn't tell the starlings and the ninth brothers. ”

Yin Qi wanted to let the old eight and nine also taste the taste of seasickness, a child's heart, Zhenwu smiled slightly, knowing that he intended a relaxed atmosphere, and said casually: "Tell me what you have seen and heard along the way, and I will listen to you." ”

"The emperor has been to Karopa, how dare the minister brag." Yin Qi said that he had already restrained his smile, and after a little groaning, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has stayed in Karopa for a long time, and he has nothing to do, so he learned about the situation of Karopa, and the population of Karopa has reached more than 200,000 now, and the Han people without pigtails can be seen everywhere in the city and suburbs, and through conversation, I know that many of them are immigrants from the previous dynasty."

Lingchen was a little worried that the number of the Karopa's garrison green battalion and navy was not large, with a total of more than 5,000 people, and the navy was not in Karopa all the year round, and the resident green battalion was only 2,000 people, while the Karopa's regimental training and naval academy had more than 15,000 people, and most of them were immigrants from the previous dynasty.

Your Majesty, the Karopa has a suitable climate, fertile land, rice crops three times a year, and it is close to the granary of Siam, and the Kalopa shipyard, firearms and gunpowder workshops, and naval academies have all begun to take shape. (To be continued.) )
