Chapter 108 The hegemonic system of the Ming treasure banknote
Capital.
As night falls, the curfew opens.
A small courtyard was lit up in a dim light.
Inside the house, a man with a lewd smile gently undressed.
The light shone on his face, and he was the scalper who chased Ji Gang to do business that day.
His name was Simon Dalang, and he was originally a tooth merchant.
With the help of friends in the government, he started a big business of reselling treasure money.
The oil lamp beats.
Simon Dalang blew out the light and lined it into the bed.
The woman inside shrunk into a ball.
The two were newly married, and the woman was a little shy.
"Lady!"
"Smack!"
Ji Gang kicked open the door of the room.
Shocked Simon Dalang, the woman was frightened in the bed.
"Who?"
"You old man!"
Ji Gang lit the fire and stepped into the house, and when he saw Ximen Dalang, he went up and locked his throat:
"You fuck you, even Jinyiwei dare to lie!"
Simon Dalang, who was naked, was pulled out of the bed.
He said with a smiling face: "Official, you can't talk nonsense, where did the little one deceive you?" ”
Ji Gang shouted: "What you sold me is old money!" ”
"It's so cheap, of course it's old money......." Simon muttered.
The difference between the new banknote and the old banknote is all due to the banknote inversion method set by the imperial court.
The household department has set up branches in various places to collect and exchange rotten banknotes with warehouses and exchange the old for the new.
Within a few years, the household department felt that it was too troublesome, and the boundaries of the exchange of stunted banknotes were stipulated.
Any denomination or text that can be read can continue to be used, and it is not allowed to raise the price of buyers with old banknotes.
But in fact, the imperial court only collects new banknotes for tax collection, while the people use or refuse to use old banknotes at reduced prices.
This creates a difference in the price of old and new banknotes.
New banknotes are worthless, let alone old ones?
Seeing that the uncle of the brocade guard had a bad face, Ximen Dalang wanted to explain: "Official, the new banknote is a bit expensive......"
"You fucking you!
Ji Gang went up to it was a resounding slap in the face.
When he stretched out his hand to fight again, Ximen Dalang immediately told him: "Official, don't don't!" Don't hit me! ”
He said quickly: "There are also cheap new banknotes, and the treasure banknotes have always been exchanged for one hundred and forty copper coins, but you have to find someone to take them." ”
New banknotes for 140 copper coins?
The new banknotes on the market can be exchanged for 170 yuan!
At this time, Ji Gang had an idea again.
He was worried about being deceived, so he slapped Simon again: "You dare to lie to Lao Tzu!" ”
Ji Gang was originally unruly and brutal by nature.
In history, Ji Gang once competed with a marquis for a beautiful female Taoist priest, smashed the marquis's head with an iron melon, and almost killed the other party with a hammer!
This deceived from buying and selling treasure money directly stimulated Ji Gang's murderous nature!
He grabbed Simon Dalang and beat him badly, and ravaged him in all kinds of ways.
He almost drew his sword and made Simon Dalang a man.
Seeing that his man was being abused, Simon's wife got out of the bed.
She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Official, please stop fighting!" ”
"Smack!"
Ji Gang's backhand was a slap in the woman's face.
"You're not a good thing, I'm sucking you to death!"
As he spoke, he turned around and went to smoke Simon's wife.
"Bang Bang!"
After a meal, Simon's wife lay on the ground covering her face and convulsed.
Ji Gang began to clean up the West Gate again, and went up to the three big pockets: "Say, who are you looking for to get the new money?" ”
Ximen Dalang knew that this brocade guard was thinking about getting rich again......
He didn't dare to deceive anymore, and said honestly: "The new banknotes are all issued from the household department, and you have to find someone from the household department." ”
"People from the Tobe?"
"Yes, I have a friend in the household......"
Ji Gang groaned slightly, no wonder this guy could come and go casually in the Taicang Silver Warehouse of the Ministry of Households.
It turns out that it's all related!
No, according to what this guy said, the people in the household department are reselling treasure money?
The treasure banknote was issued by the household, and now those dogs are actually reselling themselves?
No wonder there are so many new banknotes coming out of the market lately!
Ji Gang hated it in his heart.
Gotta figure out what's true or not!
At this time, he keenly saw the opportunity.
Didn't His Royal Highness Taisun want to engage in Zhao Mian, the head of the household department?
If I find evidence of guilt and make a great contribution, I want to be promoted!
Even if he loses money, Lao Tzu can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!
Arrangement!
Ji Gang picked up Ximen Dalang: "Go!" Go to your friend now, I want to buy new bills! ”
"Official, let me put on some clothes......"
"Hurry up!"
Ji Gang shouted: "If you dare to lie to Lao Tzu again this time, Lao Tzu will sell your wife to a brothel!" ”
“......”
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had white temples, was wearing a black robe.
He lay down on the recliner and took a nap, feeling down.
As if trying to hide the shock and pain in my heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been the emperor for 26 years and has dealt with countless large and small state affairs.
But there is no one that has failed like the Daming treasure banknote!
It has been ordered, and the Ministry of Household has implemented a series of policies.
Why does the treasure keep depreciating?
This toss made Zhu Yuanzhang's body more and more bad.
"Grandpa......"
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was like a teacher Tony possessed, and he used techniques to massage the acupuncture points on Lao Zhu's head.
"Grandpa, the depreciation of the treasure banknote, my grandson has thought of several ways to solve it." Zhu Yunxi comforted.
"Tell me about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the grandson was running around in the household these days, and he paid great attention to the treasure banknotes.
Zhu Yunxi kept working hard and said: "If you want the people to better accept the Daming treasure banknotes, you must first reduce the issuance of treasure banknotes. ”
Only by reducing the issuance from the source can we effectively alleviate the depreciation rate of Daming treasure banknotes.
"Go on." Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes slightly, enjoying a massage service that he had never had before.
"Secondly, the imperial court should allow the exchange of treasure money for gold and silver."
Zhu Yunxi said: "The imperial court not only prints money, but also recycles it, so that the people will not worry about the credibility of the treasure banknotes." ”
At the heart of the treasure is the issue of credibility.
To solve this problem, reform must be carried out from the top down.
The difference in the price of treasure banknotes over the years has been repaired, and it is truly realized that one hundred treasure banknotes can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, so naturally solved the problem of depreciation.
But the question is, how can there be money to exchange so many treasure banknotes?
Zhu Yunxi continued: "Sun Er suggested that the treasure banknote be raised and changed to Daming Bank. ”
"In the future, when issuing treasure money, we must have a plan, and we will print as much gold and silver as there is in the treasury."
By the way, he popularized some financial knowledge.
It is hoped that the Ming Dynasty can establish the silver standard.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that what this grandson said was becoming more and more mysterious.
So he simply asked: "You said that you are allowed to exchange treasure banknotes for gold and silver, what to do with the excess Daming treasure banknotes?" ”
The household department prints 70 million treasure banknotes every year, and God knows how many have been printed over the years.
Didn't this exchange directly empty the treasury?
Massage is a technical job.
Zhu Yunxi didn't press it for long, and his fingers were sore.
He stopped his movements and said, "The exchange decree can be postponed, and before that, we have to spend these treasure money!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How to spend?" ”
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Spend the treasure money overseas!" ”
That is, to spend money abroad!
The matter of the little Japanese envoy gave Zhu Yunxi a great inspiration.
Why not establish a hegemonic system of Daming treasure banknotes?
Like Lao Mei, harvest the whole world!
The hegemony of the dollar is an important cornerstone for the United States to maintain global hegemony, and it can help the United States harvest global wealth.
Even if the United States prints dollars like crazy, in the end, the whole world will "pay" for it.
Joo wanted to replicate this model.
Of course, the Age of Discovery has not yet begun, even the Americas have not yet been discovered, and the whole world has not yet been connected.
Harvesting the whole world is!
However, harvesting a wave of East Asia can be a try.
There are so many vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, and they are respectful to the Celestial Empire.
In the fields of politics, culture, and economy, everything is learned.
It's a good place to start!
In a few years, the Ming Dynasty took the lead in opening the Age of Discovery, taking the lead, and with its strength, it was completely possible to engage in the hegemony system of the Ming Dynasty in the world!
