Chapter 41 The Great Dry Bank
"Ai Gaoqian, tell me what is the exchange ratio between Daqian treasure banknotes and silver now, let the courtiers listen to it!"
King's Landing was sitting in a precarious position, with no waves on his face, and he opened his mouth to remind Ai Gaoqian, who was stunned.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, you can buy the consistent treasure banknote for fifty wen at the moment!"
These words were slowly spoken, and when the last word appeared, Ai Gaoqian seemed to have all the strength of his body drained, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"What? Has my treasure money depreciated to this extent? ”
"Your old man is in a high position, and the degree of treasure money is low, so I can't feel it, we.... Alas! ”
The official's words are naturally clear.
The imperial court kept giving them money with treasure money, how could they not know the current situation of treasure money? However, this treasure banknote was a great strategy for Emperor Gaozu to solve the problems at that time, and one is still used today. In the imperial power, who dares to say more.
"Lord Ai, what else do you have to say now? The scourge of this treasure is not only the scourge of the greed of hundreds of officials, but also the scourge of the people's hearts! ”
Jia Jinshang's words were convincing, and every word hit everyone's hearts, and King's Landing watched all this silently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should understand what Lord Jia said, not to mention that corruption is wrong, how to solve the current problem of this big treasure banknote?"
How could Zhu Guangqi and the others not understand.
The development time of the Great Qian Empire was not long, but the Great Qian treasure banknotes have depreciated so seriously in the years since they were issued.
If it is at this rate, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will completely depreciate and become waste paper, which will be disgusted and criticized by the people!
For a while, it was not only Ai Gaoqian who was panicked in the court, not only the Ministry of Works, but also Zhu Guangqi and others!
In order to alleviate the financial pressure of the Great Qian, Emperor Gaozu even ordered the treasure money to offset half of the tax burden. Now that the depreciation of the Daqian treasure banknotes is so severe, how can the Daqian's finances be alleviated?
Zhu Guangqi has been crying about poverty, not unreasonable!
What does currency issuance rely on if it wants to circulate in the private sector on a large scale? One is the deposit, and the other is the credibility of the imperial court.
However, Emperor Gaozu did not prepare a deposit, and restricted the order that silver taels could be exchanged for treasure banknotes, but treasure banknotes could not be exchanged for silver taels.
Nowadays, with the printing of more and more treasure banknotes, and there is no special anti-counterfeiting technology, the folk counterfeiting of treasure banknotes is even more proliferating, although there are criminal constraints, but repeatedly banned more than ah!
As a result, the depreciation of the banknotes is like a waterfall, and in just a few years, it has become like waste paper.
The people's recognition of the treasure banknote is already extremely low, which means that the people's trust in the imperial court has been greatly reduced. If as time goes by, the Great Qianbao money can no longer be used, what will the people do to this Great Qian court?
None of the courtiers present did not know the consequences at this time!
For a while, one by one panicked, and civil and military officials, big and small, were all talking in a panic.
Even though they can imagine the disadvantages of this treasure banknote, but no one continues to pay attention to this matter, in their opinion, the issuance of the treasure banknote is for emergency relief, and if there is no money, it will be printed, and the pressure on the court is so small!
But when the results were laid out in front of everyone, they saw what the consequences of the collapse of the treasure money would be.
Especially some old ministers, when the Great Qian Empire was founded, it was overthrown and established by mud legs, and if it cannot be solved quickly at this time, I am afraid that the country will be in danger.
"As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, don't you Aiqing understand these truths? No, you understand, but if you understand, why are you still obscure?
You don't want to think about it, if my Daqian treasure money really turns into waste paper, how will my Daqian court deal with itself? When the time comes, I'm afraid that the time has come for my Daqian court to perish! ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was extremely rebellious.
But this is from the crown prince of the current dynasty, and he is also the prince of the prison state, and they also understand that this is indeed possible, how can they refute it?
"At that time, how will you Aiqing deal with yourself? Is it to be my minister, or to be the court to take turns, and the family's eternal dream? ”
The king's landing was jealous and irritable, and the shocked ministers trembled in their hearts.
"Don't dare!"
Wu Yang fell to his knees, one by one terrified!
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized how serious the matter really was.
However, how can I save my money? How to restore the credibility of the court that was trampled on by the people?
After being issued for so long, is it really possible to save it?
For a while, everyone's eyes were on King's Landing, the prince of the prison kingdom who had repeatedly made incredible moves recently.
Facing everyone's eager gaze, King's Landing smiled indifferently.
"It's not difficult to save the treasure money of Daqian and save the face of my Daqian court! It's just that this matter still needs the cooperation of hundreds of officials to cooperate with the palace to implement this big dry bank plan! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was blindfolded!
Big Dry Bank Plan?
What is this?
The big cadres can understand it, and the plan can also understand it, but what kind of thing is this bank?
But listening to King's Landing Heaven's confident words, everyone couldn't help but feel that the prince had already prepared!
Jun Lintian didn't say much, but gave Xiao Dezi a look, and then Xiao Dezi shouted: "Go to the plan!" ”
As soon as this voice came out, a group of palace people entered and sent the plan that had been prepared long ago to the ministers.
As everyone looked through and understood, they realized that "bank" originally meant money, but the money bank in this plan was obviously different from the ordinary money bank at present.
"You all know a little bit about the history of money, so I won't say much about it. The reason for the current depreciation of the Daqian treasure banknote is not because of the decrease in trust in our Daqian court. How can a few pieces of light and fluttering paper compare to gold and silver and other things?
And one of the businesses of this big dry bank is this currency exchange. So that the people can rest assured that anytime and anywhere, they can exchange treasure banknotes with gold, silver, copper and other currencies in equal amounts. Only in this way can we ensure that the value of our Daqian treasure banknotes will not depreciate and further restore the people's trust in our Daqian court. ”
"Shhh
Hearing this, the ministers were shocked!
The big dry bank plan, currency exchange, this is simply unheard of!
But it sounds like it's very feasible.
"That's not right! His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has objections, and he also asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to solve his doubts! ”
Zhu Guangqi, the head of the household, had a bad premonition in his heart, but this is the country's plan, so it is natural to ask in detail.
"Zhu Aiqing, if you have any doubts, come quickly!"
King's Landing looked as usual, waiting for the old ledger's inquiry.
