Chapter 47 He Xi's recital

The minister was furious, so he told the king of Chu that Fan Li's son had committed a crime in Chu, and some people rumored that this amnesty was to let Fan Li's son escape, and the minister thought that Fan Li's son should be killed to show the world that there was no such thing.

The king of Chu agreed.

Fan Li commented on his son, the eldest son followed him to start a family, got up early and was greedy for darkness, knowing that money was hard to earn, he felt sorry for money. And when the youngest son was born, the Fan family had already gotten up, and the youngest son spent all day drinking and didn't care about money at all.

Therefore, when he sent his eldest son to Chu State, he treated his son as if his son was already dead.

This can also show that Zhu Biao is different from Zhu Xiongying. It cannot be said that Zhu Xiongying is stronger than Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiongying's courage today is almost the courage of ignorance. But Zhu Biao was thinking too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Publish this letter to the world." Let the world talk about it. ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "Yes." ”

And what is written in He Xi's letter?

It is about the idea of the three divisions in Beijing.

Today's Beijing City has not yet been built, and has only begun to select a site. What kind of yamen will be sent by Beijing in the future, this has not yet been said. Whether to send a Beijing to stay in the yamen, or to resettle the six departments in Beijing, and so on.

However, He Xi proposed a new plan.

Establishment of the Third Division in Beijing.

The three divisions in Beijing are the Planning Division, the Construction Division, the Treasure Banknote Division, or the Silver Ticket Division.

The role of the Planning Division is to plan the overall framework of the city of Beijing and what to build in what places. And in charge of the land of Beijing City, if Beijing City is completed in the future, He Xi is ready to turn this planning department into Beijing Government.

The Planning Division is not directly responsible for construction, but is responsible for acceptance. Responsible for supervising the work.

The Construction Department is an organization that is specifically responsible for the construction of Beijing City and has been affiliated to the Beijing City. The construction department is the focus of He Xi, and the future city of Beijing and the industrial system of Beijing are all run by the construction department.

Even He Xi has prepared to relocate most of the industries in Liaodong. Settled near Beijing. Of course, Liaodong also has its own benefits, more for reconstruction.

And the treasure banknote division is the bank.

The bank is responsible for two functions, the first of which is to collect treasure money.

In fact, He Xi has thought about one thing many times, that is, regardless of the treasure banknote, set up a new banknote, so that the cost and the gold and silver required will be reduced too much.

But He Xi finally rejected this idea.

On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely disagreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been a little ashamed since he felt that issuing treasure banknotes was to exploit the people in disguise, although it was simple to abolish treasure banknotes, but the problem was that even in the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed into money, that is, the old banknotes were abolished and new banknotes were established. But at that time, the imperial court still maintained the exchange of old banknotes for a period of time.

Of course. Many people can't redeem it.

I can only watch the money in my hands turn into waste paper.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang has a painful skin. He was unwilling to let the people suffer like this again.

On the other hand, He Xi also has to ensure the country's credit.

The people are not fools, and if the treasure money matter is not resolved, it is almost impossible to make the people believe in the new banknotes. After all, the people are not stupid, and many people's lifetime property is only a few dozen treasure money.

It was abolished all at once.

The damage to the hearts of the people is too great.

It's just that it is also necessary to use silver bills instead of treasure money.

First of all. This kind of silver ticket must have experience in operation, and the silver ticket system has been running for several years. Most of the pits have also been stepped on. The problems that should have been discovered have also been discovered.

Secondly, there must be a lot of capital.

He Xi knows this very well, that is, Japan's gold and silver.

Fu Youde's struggle in Japan was not fruitless. At least Japan's gold and silver, which flowed into the Ming Dynasty in a steady stream, were stored in the treasury of the Inner Court, and He Xi didn't know how much it was, but he knew that it was a lot of money.

Enough to do a lot of things.

One more thing, that is, enough use cases.

If there are not enough use scenarios, these silver tickets are just between the government and the people, circulating between each other, then the silver in the palace will never be able to support this plate.

In the construction of Beijing City, a new construction method is used, not labor, but with silver tickets, allowing people to form companies, construction societies and other things to undertake Beijing construction affairs.

These processes are all done with silver tickets.

And the use of silver tickets is in the bank.

In this way, it is possible to scrap the treasure money and use the silver bill.

There is also a paragraph that needs to be explained, that is, most of the Ming treasure banknotes are in the south, and there are certainly those in the north, but more because of the treasure banknotes that reward meritorious soldiers. It is not as huge as Nanjing's stock.

This is also what He Xi worries the most. Because He Xi doesn't know how many treasure banknotes Daming has issued, hundreds of millions of yuan? Billions of dollars? Fortunately, the traffic of this era limited the circulation of treasure money.

It is estimated that it will take a year to travel from Yunnan to Beijing. When Yunnan's treasure banknotes come to Beijing to exchange, the time will be opened.

He Xi also has enough time to digest a large amount of currency.

Of course, this silver ticket for treasure money cannot be exchanged for face value. It is a ratio of 1:60, that is, the market price of the treasure banknote.

In any case, He Xi has some risks this time. But even if there is a risk, He Xi wants to give up this opportunity, and misses the construction of Beijing, what big project will there be in the future that can accommodate such a large amount of currency.

Not to mention anything else, the land in the new city of Beijing, with a slight movement, can soar. This is also the method of He Xi to imitate the later generations, through the sale of land, and other methods, to consume a large amount of currency, whether it is silver bills or treasure money.

In short, after crossing this threshold.

In any case, the entire Ming banknote system has been straightened out. At the very least, the silver notes near Beijing will represent the treasure money, and the stability of the currency and the money supply are in the hands of He Xi. There was so much he could do.

can push the future of Daming one step forward.

In Beijing, He Xi is also thinking at this moment. I don't know what Nanjing's opinion is on this idea. He guessed that there would definitely be many people who opposed this matter.

It's too risky after all. It's a thrilling jump, and if you jump over, it's naturally a good thing. But what if you can't jump over, what should you do?

It is also reasonable for the court to do things, not to think about victory, but to lose first.

However, He Xi has absolute confidence, not because of anything else. It's because of Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of the replacement of treasure banknotes and silver bills, it is essentially to wipe Zhu Yuanzhang's buttocks. Zhu Yuanzhang actually has a very strong desire to solve this matter.

In the Ming court, Zhu Yuanzhang made a final decision.

With Zhu Yuanzhang here, He Xi doesn't have to worry too much.

Therefore, at this moment, He Xi is inspecting the new site of Beijing.

In the north of Xianghe County, near a large amount of land on the east side of the North Canal, He Xi rode a horse and brought many horses and horses to look at this place.

He Xi asked Yao Guangxiao and said, "Brother Yao, what do you think of this place?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "It is bordered by Yanshan Mountain in the north, the canal in the west, the Chaohe River in the east, and the Central Plains in the north. It's really a beautiful place, but it's not as good as Dadu. Do you know who is the location for most of them? ”

He Xi said: "Guo Shoujing. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Exactly. His subordinates also dared to claim to be proficient in the art of feng shui, but they never dared to compare with Guo Shoujing, from the perspective of the dragon vein, this underground is in Dadu. It's just that most of the capital is the old capital, and now the imperial court is newly established, and the original address of the capital can be moved slightly. Put it here. Xia Guan can only say that each has its own benefits. ”

He Xi doesn't know feng shui, but he also knows that Beijing's feng shui must be excellent. After all, the Ming and Qing dynasties were fixed for 600 years, and I don't know how many people have explored Beijing's feng shui. It must be the best in the world.

Not to mention anything else, in the past 600 years, there have been no major earthquakes in Beijing, which shows the exquisite location of Beijing.

It's just that He Xi wants an industrial city, not an ancient imperial mansion. Before the advent of railways, there was no more convenient mode of transportation than a ship.

Today, there are two rivers running through the city, which is enough for large ships to enter the vicinity of Beijing. It's just so convenient. For this reason, he is also willing to sacrifice some of the advantages of the so-called feng shui path.

Yao Guangxiao understood He Xi's intentions, so he made a sloppy eye at the end.
