Chapter 264: Is it a profit or a loss?
In the court, the secretary of the military department walked out and bowed to Zhao Lin: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang Meng and Yang Shumi, in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions, have enshrined the Great Food King as the King of Anxi, and have placed him properly, and will send him to Beijing on a certain day." ”
Zhao Lin nodded.
Although Zhao Lin didn't plan to kill the Great Food King.
But the other side cannot be left in Damascus.
Even if the Great Food King will not betray, it is difficult to guarantee that the remnants of those Great Food Eaters will not start a rebellion under the banner of the Great Food King.
"In addition, from the treasury of the Great Food Country, countless treasures of gold and silver have been seized, and it is estimated that if converted into silver taels, it will be about 120 million taels. ”
The military department Shangshu said.
"One hundred and twenty million taels?"
Zhao Lin's gaze was slightly surprised.
I can't imagine that after spending a huge ransom before, the Great Food Country is still so rich in this treasury.
What a rich empire.
However, now that the Great Food Country has perished, the huge wealth in this treasury is naturally owned by the Great Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty,"
After listening to the report of the military department, the household department also came out of the ranks, bowed to Zhao Lin and said: "After Concubine Ming Niangniang was entitled, she also handed over the Persian treasury to the household department. ”
"After some inventory by the household department, all the antique treasures in the treasury of the Persian Empire are now about 2190 million taels of silver. ”
"The treasury of these two countries, plus the soaring tax revenue of our Great Song Dynasty in recent times, adds up to nearly 350 million taels of silver. ”
Tobe Shangshu's voice was loud.
The more money in the treasury, the more confident he will be.
Of course, the head of the household is very clear that the reason why the treasury can have such amazing wealth is due to His Majesty's wise decision-making and cultural and martial arts.
But in any case, with so much money in hand, Tobe Shangshu will no longer have to live with his belt in his trousers in the future.
His Majesty asked him to allocate funds, and he can now take out the money without hesitation and cheerfully!
That's 350 million taels of silver!
The treasury has never been so rich!
In the court, all the civil and military officials were in shock.
Such a huge amount of wealth is simply unheard of!
I'm afraid that if you look at any dynasty, you won't be as rich as the current court, right?
"Three hundred and fifty million taels ......"
When Zhao Lin heard this, he fell into a deep groan.
This has not yet counted Tianzhu's treasury.
According to the current situation in the Tianzhu Kingdom, it is only a matter of time before the Tianzhu treasury is included in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty.
With the national strength of Tianzhu Kingdom, even if it is less than 100 million taels, it should still be enough to contribute 70 or 80 million taels.
So in the end, it should break through 400 million taels of silver.
"It's a shame that so much money is kept in the treasury. ”
Zhao Lin frowned slightly, his mind fluctuating.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Lin looked at the Hubu Shangshu and said, "Hubu Shangshu!"
"The minister is here. ”
When he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Preach my will. ”
Zhao Lin said this, paused for a moment, and continued: "From today on, some officials will be sent out from the household department, and the Great Song Qian Zhuang will be established, and 200 million taels of silver will be transferred from the treasury and deposited in the Qian Zhuang. ”
"The household department will gradually delegate the right to mint coins to the Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will issue currency in a unified manner. ”
"All the people of the world can deposit their money in the Great Song Dynasty Bank, and receive interest at an interest rate of 1% every year. ”
As the emperor issued one decree after another, Hubu Shangshu was directly stunned.
In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there have always been privately founded money banks.
The people could deposit their money in the bank, and then receive an equal amount of silver tickets.
However, I only heard that people put their money in the bank, and they need to pay the money to the bank.
I haven't heard of the saying that you can get interest on saving money!
What is the rationale for this?
In this way, isn't this big Song money village losing money every day?
The head of the household book wanted to speak and stopped.
As if he saw the question of the Hubu Shangshu, Zhao Lin smiled faintly, "Aiqing, are there many questions?"
"It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. ”
Zhao Lin had expected it.
The Da Song Qian Zhuang he set up was designed according to the bank in his memory.
In modern countries, a monetary and financial system has been established through banks to achieve the purpose of endless financial resources.
And now, in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, there are more than 400 million taels of silver, and the Great Song Dynasty Money Village established on this basis is sure to make the money of the entire Great Song Dynasty run like flowing water!
Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the idea of establishing the Great Song Dynasty Money Village is very good, but is it a little inappropriate for the people to deposit their silver money in the money village and get interest?"
The minister felt that if the people knew about this, they would probably rush to be the first to deposit their money in this great Song Dynasty. ”
"As a result, the money bank will have to pay a lot of interest to the people every year, which will cause a lot of losses......
"Your Majesty, even if our Great Song Dynasty treasury is rich, we can't withstand such a loss......"
Tobe Shangshu forcibly endured the pain in his flesh and said cautiously.
"Loss?"
Zhao Lin couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the head of the household.
This bank was the bank in his memory.
Will there be a loss-making bank in this world?
However, judging from the thinking of the ancients, the people who save money have to be given interest every year, isn't this a loss?
Not only the head of the household, but also other officials in the court also had this idea.
Your Majesty, do you want to distribute the wealth of the country to the people?
"Aiqing is too worried. ”
Zhao Lin shook his head and smiled, "If the people really enthusiastically deposit the silver money into the Great Song Dynasty, it will only increase the wealth of my Great Song Dynasty, how can there be a loss?"
"When the wealth of the world is in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, when the time comes, whether it is a profit or a loss, isn't it the court that has the final say?"
Zhao Lin's words just fell.
Tobe Shangshu's face was shocked.
There was a deep sense of shock in his eyes.
Oh, yes!
If the people of the world are willing to deposit their wealth in the Great Song Dynasty, what is the difference between giving it to the imperial court?
In this way, the imperial court will control most of the wealth in the whole world.
If the imperial court wants to do things, won't it have more money?
As the saying goes, take it from the people and use it for the people, isn't that exactly what you are talking about?
Will this wealth shrink when the time comes?
It all depends on the Great Song Money.
Because the right to issue currency is also in the hands of the Great Song Money.
How many coins are issued each year?
This is all decided by Da Song Qianzhuang.
Now, the currency in circulation in the Great Song Dynasty is the Mandate of Heaven Tongbao, which is still a copper coin.
In the future, Destiny Tongbao will slowly be replaced by paper money.
At that time, it's not as much as the imperial court wants, and it will send as much as it wants?
"Moreover, the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty Qianzhuang will have a great stabilizing effect on the Jiangshan Society of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Lin then said aloud: "Since the people have handed over all their wealth to the imperial court, and the imperial court pays them interest every year, will their loyalty to the imperial court increase?"
