Morning.

Jiang Xia felt a little tired for the first time, for no other reason, last night was indeed a little overindulgent.

Inevitably, some people are envious or have low self-esteem, not to mention how indulgent Jiang Xia was yesterday. It only needs to be emphasized that Jiang Xia did not touch Utuya in the end.

It's not that Jiang Xia doesn't want to, and it's not that Utuya doesn't want to.

It's that Utuya's identity is extraordinary.

As a Tatar princess, if she marries a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, it may be nothing, at most, it will make the Tatar people sigh and let the literati of the Ming Dynasty pass on a good story.

But if the Tatar princess marries the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, it is not just a private event, but an event between countries.

This matter must be handled well, and if it is handled well, the friendship between the two countries will be strengthened.

If it is not handled well, then I am afraid that the diplomacy between the two countries will enter a freezing point.

Of course, now is not the time to think about it, after all, it needs to be considered in the long run.

has already become a ruler, so Jiang Xia's position in the early dynasty is a little different. His position is only under the quadrangle, closest to the throne.

However, although the location was, Jiang Xia did not sit, but chose to stand.

When the ministers finished playing what they were going to play, everyone looked at Jiang Xia. Everyone wants to see what the first thing Jiang Xia, who has just ascended to the throne, is going to do.

Jiang Xia glanced at everyone and looked at Yang Yiqing first, "Lord Yang, the head of the household." ”

Yang Yiqing immediately stood up and saluted, "The lower official is here." ”

Jiang Xia asked: "What is the exchange ratio of Daming treasure banknotes now?" ”

Daming treasure banknotes? The civil and military officials were extremely surprised, but secretly relieved.

This Ming treasure banknote is basically no longer in circulation in the Ming Dynasty, even if there are some people, it is because it is squeezed in the hand, and no one is willing to take the risk of redeeming it.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the common currency is basically copper coins and silver.

In fact, it stands to reason that banknotes are easy to carry and should be easier to pass.

For example, the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty, such as the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty today.

In fact, it is very simple, and there are about three reasons for it. First, it only sends but does not collect, causing inflation and the collapse of the monetary reputation system. Second, it is not easy to preserve, after all, it is paper, and it will always break after a long time. Third, the exchange rate is unstable, so that it finally depreciates like waste paper.

Now Jiang Xia took the initiative to ask about the Ming treasure banknote, which proves that Jiang Xia is not ready to start the administration from places such as government or land.

After all, once the rule of officials is rectified, I don't know how many officials will suffer. The people who are officials, whether ancient or modern, are truly white and flawless, and how many can stand up to inspection?

Someone once said that the officials of the current world were all pulled out and killed one after another, and that there must be wrongs. But if they are all pulled out and killed one by one, there must be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net.

So Jiang Xia was not busy rectifying the rule of officials first, and everyone was very happy.

And then the land.

For ancient and modern times, land is actually the most important wealth. Especially in ancient times, three acres of fertile land was enough to pass on the family, and the importance of land was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Ordinary people understand that when they have money, they must buy land quickly. Isn't it clear to these officials? Therefore, if Jiangxia starts to govern from the land, I am afraid that many officials will still suffer.

Now Jiang Xia asked Daming Bao Money at the beginning, to be honest, this Manchu Dynasty's civil and military favor towards Jiang Xia has improved a lot.

Because of the ruling officials of the past dynasties, which did not start with the rule of officials, land, and taxation? There is no other reason, just because these three are the easiest to produce political achievements and the fastest to achieve results.

As soon as the officials are investigated, the wealth of the corrupt official's life will be confiscated, and it will not be long before the treasury will become full. As soon as the land and taxes were changed, the silver also rolled in.

Yang Yiqing glanced at Jiang Xia and replied: "Lord Huiyu, now the Daming treasure banknotes are no longer issued, and the private exchange is about fifteen to one." ”

"Fifteen to one?" Jiang Xia nodded, in fact, he knew this number.

Fifteen Wen Yuan Da Ming Bao Banknotes can only be exchanged for huàn to one penny copper coin. And with such an exchange rate, few people in the people are willing to exchange huàn.

Of course, if it is lower than the exchange rate of fifteen to one, the person who holds the Daming treasure banknote will not be willing to exchange huàn, because there is no point in exchanging huàn.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, it's nothing." If you don't have anything to do, then that's the end of today's court. ”

"Yes!" Hundreds of officials responded.

Then Jiang Xia turned around and looked at Zhu Zaijiang.

The eunuch beside Zhu Zaijiang shouted loudly: "Retreat!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live"

Although Jiang Xia just asked about the Daming treasure money in front of the hundred officials, and then didn't say anything. But Baiguan didn't think there was any problem, but felt that Jiang Xia was very kind.

Naturally, it is impossible for Jiang Xia to start implementing a heavy policy measure, but it can only be implemented after repeated deliberations, demonstrations, and the consent of all parties and ministries.

Jiang Xia deliberately asked Yang Yiqing in the court, in fact, he was handing a letter to the civil and military officials in the court, telling them that he was going to make a fuss about the Ming treasure banknote next, so that they could be psychologically prepared again.

Who can stand on the Taihe Palace, which one is not a human spirit? Jiang Xia gave such an obvious hint, they naturally understood.

After the hundred officials retreated, Jiang Xia and the six of them naturally had to accompany Zhu Zaijiang to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters according to the usual practice.

In fact, the program is no different from the previous one. It's just that Jiang Xia's chair has become a little wider and more gorgeous, and at the same time, the position is placed under Zhu Zaijiang's dragon case, in the middle of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

On the left hand side of this are Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, and on the right hand side are Yang Tinghe, Wang Qiong, and Xia Yuanming.

Everyone first made a very quick decision on the things that Fang had not been able to decide in the early days, and then waited for Jiang Xia to take the initiative to mention the matter of the Daming treasure banknote.

Sure enough, after the decision was made, Jiang Xia opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, I am going to reissue the Daming treasure banknote, I don't know what you think?" ”

"The Ming treasure banknote has been abolished, and the lord wants to reopen this matter again, but there is already a good plan?" Yang Tinghe asked, surprisingly unopposed.

Jiang Xia didn't have time to nod, but Yang Yiqing objected first: "I don't understand the need for this matter, this Daming treasure banknote is no different from waste paper in the hearts of the people, and no one will use it if it is reopened, what is the use of opening it?" ”

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't think so. ”

"First of all, my plan is to first recycle all the private Daming treasure banknotes at a ten-to-one exchange rate and destroy them. Then reissue the new Daming treasure banknotes.

The new Daming treasure banknotes will open branches in county governments across the country to facilitate the exchange of Daming treasure banknotes.

Daming treasure banknotes do not set any large denominations, temporarily only set 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 16 denominations, easy to circulate.

Then the law was promulgated, but all the Ming treasure banknotes were permanently implemented in the Ming Dynasty at a one-to-one exchange rate. Everywhere the semicolon must be accepted at any time to exchange treasure banknotes for huàn. ”

"So what's the point of doing that?" Yang Yiqing asked.

"Build a new economic system to make the country rich and strong. Once the Daming treasure banknotes begin to circulate normally, the state can continue to print the Daming treasure banknotes, and the state will not have an empty treasury.

You may say that printing too much money will cause the banknote to depreciate. Well, I admit, that's for sure. Therefore, in order to alleviate the depreciation of treasure money, we have to carry out the dumping of treasure money.

I plan to wait for the Daming treasure banknotes to officially start circulation, and start to open border market trade in the northwest border and the coastal coast of Fujian. At that time, the main currency of trade must be regulated by us as treasure money, so that the treasure money will be dumped into the hands of foreign nations. In this way, the treasure banknote will not depreciate, only the possibility of appreciation. ”

As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, everyone was silent. In fact, there are a lot of things he said, and the five people here don't understand it very well.

After all, they have not experienced a mature and systematic financial system, so they do not have a complete, systematic concept of what Jiang Xia said.

After being silent for a while, Yang Tinghe said: "To be honest, there are some things that the lower official did not fully understand, but the lower official thinks it is feasible.

Anyway, since you have already thought about it, let's try it first. In the process of implementation, if there are any problems, they will be corrected immediately. If it turns out that the matter is not enforceable, it will be a big deal and it will be repealed again, and it will have little impact. ”

"What doesn't make a difference?" Yang Yiqing frowned, and said, "Lord Shoufu won't be unclear about how much silver the people will lose if the Daming treasure banknote is abolished once, right?" A lot of treasure money is pinched in your hand, and it looks like it has become waste paper, isn't this an impact? ”

"Well, what Lord Yang taught me is that the lower officials are short-sighted." Yang Tinghe said.

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but look at Yang Tinghe in surprise, and said in his heart, Is this still the same Yang Tinghe? Why did it suddenly become a "sound bug" and a "nodding dog"?

Yang Yiqing didn't want to say anything to Yang Tinghe, and said directly to Jiang Xia: "You give me a truthful word, are you sure about this?" ”

Everyone knows the relationship between Yang Yiqing and Jiang Xia, so Yang Yiqing talks to Jiang Xia casually, and everyone will not feel anything.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I'm sure." ”

Yang Yiqing pondered for a while after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, you kid has never failed in what he does." Since you say you're sure, let's do it. ”

Changing an economic system and introducing paper money transactions.

In fact, Jiang Xia understands that there are many difficulties and challenges to suffer. But Jiang Xia had to start from here.

Today's Daming is like a gorgeous house built with building blocks. Some of the bricks started to rot and grow worms, and if they weren't pulled out, they would affect the other bricks until the whole house collapsed.

But if you smoke the biggest, most rotten brick, the whole house is prone to collapse.

So Jiang Xia can only carefully pull out such a block with little impact now, and after rebuilding this block, put it back and replace it with the next block.

In this way, when all the blocks are stable, then the largest block can be moved.

If you want to reform the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not possible to rectify the rule of officials, arrest and kill people, and exterminate the family as soon as you come to power.

In this way, it will either force people to rebel, or it will be separated from the officials.

Relying on Jiang Xia alone, it is impossible for him to do anything if the hundred officials oppose him.

So the best way is to let everyone eat candy for him first, and then kill those who just eat candy and don't do anything, and everyone hates them.

Then slowly kill those who keep stealing other people's candy and attract everyone to hate. In this way, Jiang Xia's purpose was achieved quietly.

Daming treasure banknote, a new economic system. This is Jiang Xia making sugar for them.

When the border trade is opened, a part of it will be set up as a state-owned enterprise, and officials and Mengyin clansmen will be allowed to participate in it, so that they can obtain rolling financial resources in an open and honest manner, and naturally they will become thugs and killers in Jiangxia.

And no matter how much money those officials make, the final control is in his hands. He wanted them to have less silver in their hands, and they only needed to print a little more Daming treasure banknotes.

Now that everyone has decided to start reissuing the Daming treasure banknotes, the next thing is simple.

First of all, the household department restarted the mint bureau and redesigned the Daming treasure banknote according to the meaning of Jiangxia.

In order to prevent counterfeit and shoddy treasure banknotes, Jiangxia even asked Qianmen to find a papermaking master to make cotton linter paper according to his wishes.

You must know that the previous Daming treasure banknotes were just mulberry paper made of mulberry grains. In terms of cost, it cannot be compared with cotton linters at all.

The paper made of cotton linters has a smooth and delicate texture, tough and fold-resistant, crisp and flat, and is generally not easy to damage.

As for the treasure banknote pigment responsible for printing, Jiangxia invited Yi Crab. After he let go of several special medicinal materials, the pigment will have a smell similar to musk, so that the Daming treasure banknotes are not easy to counterfeit, and it is easier to identify the authenticity.

At the same time as the design of the Daming treasure banknotes began, the provincial capitals and counties also began to look for shops in the most prosperous places, and designed the Daming money village according to the design drawings given by the imperial court.

On the Jingshi side, officials from various ministries of Daming Qianzhuang were recruited in a unified manner for unified training and training. At the same time, Qianmen also checked their ancestors for eight generations to confirm their innocence.

With the passage of time, almost everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty was going to reopen the Ming treasure banknote.

The people of the people do not trust this nature, so they have been waiting and watching. However, Jiang Xia ordered the household department to exchange the previous Daming treasure banknotes at a rate of ten to one, which made the people admire again and again.

Everything is ready, but before the official reopening of the Ming treasure banknote, according to Jiangxia's plan, it is necessary to open customs trade in Fujian and other places.

However, this decree has not yet been officially issued, and the Fujian Provincial Chengxuan Political Envoy Department first went to the imperial court, and the excerpt earnestly hoped that the imperial court would not open customs trade, and between the lines, Jiangxia even faintly smelled a threat.
