Looking at the Da Ming treasure banknotes lying quietly in the box, Chu Ze couldn't help but have black lines on his forehead.

That's what I was given.

And originally thought that after Chu Ze took the money, he would not say that he would be happy, but at least he would accept Zhu Biao with a smile.

When he saw Chu Ze's bitter gourd-like expression at this time, he thought that Chu Ze was dissatisfied with the amount of money he had prepared.

"Chu Ze! Don't be too little Recently, in fact, the treasury is not very abundant, and the affairs of the clan have not been resolved for the time being. ”

"There are still things to deal with in the future, such as the salary of courtiers and the prevention of plague, and these three thousand taels will be used as a pocket money for you for the time being."

"If you run out of money in the future, you can tell me at any time, and I'll prepare it for you."

When he heard Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze casually closed the box in his hand.

"Mark!"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"You're a prince, I'm not even a courtier now, you're so enthusiastic, I don't know what to say."

"Aren't we friends?"

Zhu Biao's answer can be said to make Chu Ze really feel that his head is a little dizzy.

Aren't we friends?

As soon as he heard Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze always felt that he was PUA himself.

But after looking at Zhu Biao's extremely serious look, and then looking at Zhu Di's strange expression on the side.

Chu Ze only sighed slightly.

Then he handed the box in his hand back to Zhu Biao.

"Okay, whatever you say! I hope you're not PUA me. ”

"What's the criticism?"

Regarding Chu Ze's sudden incomprehensible vocabulary, Zhu Biao's eyes were full of doubts.

For a while, I couldn't understand what Chu Ze was doing.

And Zhu Di on the side looked at Chu Ze's somewhat weird look, and then looked at the box on the table.

For a moment, he seemed to think of something.

Then he suddenly asked a little weirdly.

"Chu Ze. You don't mean to say that there is something wrong with these treasure notes, do you? ”

"Huh? What can be wrong with these treasure notes. There won't be a problem! ”

When Zhu Biao heard his younger brother's inquiry, he subconsciously retorted.

But he hadn't finished his rebuttal yet, and then he also noticed the change in Chu Ze's expression.

At this time, he gradually realized that things were not simple.

"Two, these treasure money, as well as the real money and silver we are talking about, including copper coins and whatever, I don't know what your overall name is, but in our later life, there is a general name called: currency!"

"Currencies are broadly divided into several types. Roughly, it can be counted as three modes of embodiment. ”

"The first: bartering. Definition per se: An item that has value in itself and can be exchanged for other goods of approximate value. ”

"The second: commodity money. It is defined as an item that has value in itself, and its value is constant and not easy to depreciate. Similar to items like gold and silver. ”

"As for the third one, it's fiat money. It itself is defined as a contract that is almost worthless in itself, but is recognized by the holder! ”

"The main embodiment is the banknotes in front of us."

"The Yuan Dynasty circulated a large number of paper money, and even achieved the scale of only circulating paper money on the market!"

"Originally, there was nothing wrong with the Ming Dynasty continuing this model, but your understanding of paper money should be that as long as it is printed, it is money, right?"

After hearing Chu Ze start to talk about the currency slowly, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di on the side couldn't help but cheer up at this time.

Although they still didn't understand why Chu Ze suddenly told them these things so seriously.

But as far as Chu Ze's words were concerned, they could also faintly feel that there was something wrong with the Daming treasure money in front of them.

Otherwise, Chu Ze wouldn't have talked to them about these things so seriously.

"Aren't all banknotes printed by the imperial court and issued? Don't.. Isn't that the case? ”

Faced with Chu Ze's inquiry, Zhu Biao said his opinion a little dazedly.

Since the founding of the country, Ming has basically been like this.

The treasure money is printed, and then it is directly used as money.

Don't say it's Zhu Biao and them, even Zhu Yuanzhang thinks so.

Even the great ministers of the DPRK and China did not think that there was anything wrong with this.

After all, what the Yuan Dynasty printed was money, so didn't they print it?

"Sure enough. I knew it was so. ”

After hearing Zhu Biao's natural answer, Chu Ze directly smiled speechlessly.

"Didn't I say that just now? There are roughly three systems of existence for money. Paper money is a third type of legal tender. ”

"Paper money has no value on its own. And the reason why it can be used as a monetary transaction is entirely because both holders recognize the value of its existence. It's a contract. ”

"So, in fact, paper money itself is not equal to a commodity!"

"It's a contract, a clause, that pins it on a common currency."

"The most important thing in determining the value of a banknote is that both holders agree on the value of the banknote."

"And these treasure notes printed by your court, you have decided that they have value. But did the people decide it? ”

"If you put a hundred thousand taels on the paper, the paper will be worth one hundred thousand taels? If the currency was so simple, would the imperial court still be short of money? Wouldn't it be nice to print money all at once? ”

"The circulation of paper money needs to be linked to hard currency, such as one or two silver banknotes, which must be able to be exchanged for one or two silver. It's called monetary credibility! ”

"If I take these three thousand taels of notes and exchange them for three thousand taels of silver now, can I exchange them?"

After hearing Chu Ze ask, Zhu Biao shook his head slightly embarrassed.

The treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to be exchanged for real money.

After Chu Ze said this, Zhu Biao also understood what Chu Ze wanted to express at this time.

"You mean to say that we have the Ming treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty. It's just a pile of waste paper."

"Almost, although it is not enough now, but in the future, the banknote system of Daming will basically completely collapse."

"Not only did paper money collapse, but it was also an important cause of official corruption."

"Your father thought that the words printed on the paper were money, so when it was time to use the money, he began to print it, and many of the follow-up officials used this banknote to issue it."

"By the way, the Yongle period did the same. Paper money is used instead of hard currency. Although the officials behind the work heard that there were so many of them, no one wanted those banknotes when they were on the market. ”

"It's too hard to wipe your ass."

"Some gentry, princes and so on, took these banknotes to buy goods in the market, annexed land, and plundered property from the people with the smallest payment."

It can be said that the discovery of these Ming treasure banknotes not only pitted the courtiers, but also pitted the people, and turned back to pit the court itself. Anyway, in the end, it's cheaper for those bad guys. ”

"Therefore, Your Highness should hurry up to your father and ask him to stop printing money. The consequences of inflation will eventually be imposed on the people. ”

"Currency is a kind of knowledge, your father didn't have much culture, so it's good for everyone to toss around a little."

Although Chu Ze said this very unpleasantly, Zhu Biao at this time listened to it completely.

It's just that he listened to it, but he didn't immediately set out to explain the matter to his father.

Because in Zhu Biao's view, the most important thing at this time is to know from Chu Ze's mouth that how this Ming treasure banknote should operate is reasonable and appropriate.

After all, the Daming treasure banknote has been issued for many years.

When these treasure notes are sent out, they are all real money!

If all of a sudden it all is nullified.

How many people in the world have died because of this?

This is no child's play.

"Chu Ze, wait a minute! I'll tidy it up first, my head is a little messy right now! ”

Although Zhu Biao wanted to ask something, his mind was like a lump of paste at this time.

For a while, I didn't know where to start.

And looking at Zhu Biao with a sad face, Zhu Di on the side wanted to help think of a way together.

But he is not much better than his father in this regard.

If you let Zhu Di lead the troops to fight, he may still be able to play flowers, but you let him make money and play culture. This is somewhat difficult for some strong people.

"Do you want to say, is there any way to remedy the Daming treasure banknote?"

"Yes, yes, that's it, is there any way to remedy it? Now that the Daming treasure banknote has entered the hands of thousands of households, if it is suddenly abandoned at this time, the consequences are unimaginable."

"How did you deal with these issues in later generations?"

Facing Zhu Biao's inquiry, Chu Ze coughed seriously, and then under Zhu Biao's expectant gaze, he shrugged his shoulders very helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to deal with this problem for the time being. I know that the conservative way is to maintain the value and credibility of the currency! ”

"One of the basic requirements for the circulation of banknotes is to prevent counterfeiting. That's enough for you."

"The circulation of counterfeit money, both for the currency itself and for the imperial court, is a huge disaster."

"The market is constant, it is impossible to conjure up more goods out of thin air, and if the currency exceeds the output value of goods, then the currency will depreciate."

"Therefore, preventing counterfeiting is the number one problem for currency."

"The second is credibility, you have issued so many banknotes now, if you rashly invalidate, the people who hold the banknotes will have to crack, yesterday it was still money, today it has become waste paper, it is estimated to cause riots."

"Thirdly, if you want to abolish these banknotes, then you have to recycle them. The equivalent banknotes are exchanged for new currency by the holder, and these banknotes found in the Ming Dynasty are now recycled, and the treasury is estimated to be emptied instantly, and there may be counterfeit money in them. ”

"So, I don't know how to clean up this mess. Why don't you ask your father?"

If it was something else, Chu Ze might also help analyze the solution.

But on the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.

He really didn't want to get involved in this.

Thankless, this problem is not easy to solve at all.

He didn't eat too much and panicked.

"Aren't you shirking?"

Zhu Di on the side heard that Chu Ze asked his eldest brother to ask his father for advice.

He immediately understood the meaning behind Chu Ze's words.

However, in the face of Zhu Di's accusation, Chu Ze made him laugh angrily.

"What am I shirking? Responsibility or duty? It's not my problem at all."

Zhu Di, who originally wanted to say something, was speechless when he heard Chu Ze's words.

Because, what Chu Ze said was right.

The matter of paper money has nothing to do with him at all.

This was originally a moth made up by his father.

Now that this mess has been laid out, how to deal with it has nothing to do with Chu Zezhen.

"That. I'd better go and explain this matter to my father first, at least the suspension of the printing of Daming treasure banknotes is true, the more it is printed now, the more difficult it will be to clean up in the future."

Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze's helpless expression, and knew that he really couldn't count on Chu Ze in this matter at this time.

At the same time, he once again realized the gap between himself and others and Chu Ze, a person in later generations.

At least in terms of thought and insight, there is an unbridgeable gap between them!

"Chu Ze, the money prepared for you... I'm afraid it's going to be put on hold for the time being. It is estimated that all these treasure banknotes that have been printed and not yet released will have to be destroyed. ”

"That.. Xiongying will trouble you to help take care of it for the time being. Fourth, you can go with me to meet your father, this is a big trouble! ”

"Okay, but what about the old twelve? Why don't you send him back first? ”

"No need, the old twelve should also bother Chu Ze to watch for a while, now it's important to get down to business!"

"Row"

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, who suddenly picked up the brocade box on the table, and said directly that they would leave.

He didn't react for a while, and these two guys just ran away.

And next to him, there were only two hairy boys who blinked and looked at him.

"I don't seem to have agreed to help watch the children."

And after seeing that the two adults were gone, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Bai, the uncle and nephew, looked at Chu Ze with a tacit understanding.

"Teacher, are we going to start studying?"

"Teacher, can you teach me too? I want to learn from you too! ”

“.”

In the palace.

Although I chatted with Chu Ze late last night, Lao Zhu still got up from the bed as usual this morning.

It's as if he has an inexhaustible amount of energy.

Even if he didn't have a good rest yesterday, it didn't affect his handling of government affairs at all.

It's just that today's government affairs slightly made Lao Zhu feel a little headache.

"Those who want money, those who want money, those who still want money, how can these guys know how to ask for money."

"And this corrupt, damned, is already greedy, what else is playing? Wouldn't it be enough to just kill it! ”

"If we don't change our teachings, we won't believe it, and we won't be able to kill you corrupt officials!"

"This one is also killed!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was like a crazy question machine.

Pick up a notebook, look at it, swing the pen, and then throw it aside, and then flip through the next notebook.

However, in the face of that clear water, it is either corruption or lack of money.

He also felt his head hurt.

In a depressed mood, he simply threw the pen in his hand to the ground.

I'm going to go out for a walk and talk about it.

As a result, as soon as he stood up, two hurried figures broke in from outside the main hall.

"Father, it's not good. Something is wrong! ”

Originally, when he saw Zhu Biao and Zhu Di rushing in from outside the hall, Lao Zhu just squeezed out a smile and kept a good state in front of his sons.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could laugh, Zhu Biao directly gave him a slap in the face.

"What's going on? The day hasn't fallen yet! Why are you panicking? How many of you are also the crown prince and the king of Yan, pay attention to the image. ”

"Father, how can you pay attention to any image now. Erchen had just chatted with Chu Ze for a while, and then he found another big problem. My fourth brother and I had no choice, so I came to report to you, my father. ”

"Chu Ze again? What did he do? Annoying, all day long, can't this guy bring us some good news? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao mention it, this time it was because of Chu Ze.

He almost didn't take a breath of old air.

Since this guy appeared, he Zhu Yuanzhang really hasn't had a day of peace!

It's just terrible

What did he say again? Tell us quickly, who is going to die this time? ”

Although he was angry in his heart, Lao Zhu looked at the calm prince Zhu Biao on weekdays, and his face was full of panic at this time, and he knew that it must not be a trivial matter.

He himself knows that there are some things that can't be blamed on Chu Ze at all.

The bad things that should happen, Chu Ze can say it in advance, this is a good thing.

It's just that this guy is too diligent.

But at this time, even if his stomach was full of fire, Lao Zhu had to listen to what was going on first, or what was going to happen.

"Huh? Father, you misunderstood, it's not like someone is going to die this time."

Zhu Biao originally wanted to explain his intentions.

As a result, after suddenly hearing his father's words, others were directly stunned.

Then he reacted, and then hurriedly retold what he had heard from Chu Ze before.

And Zhu Di also added on the side.

Under the narration of the two brothers, Lao Zhu's face became more and more ugly at this time.

Just now, he also thought about going to the banknote making department to let them print some more Daming treasure banknotes to solve the problem of lack of money in various places.

As a result, before anyone else left the hall, they heard such a bad news...

The more Ming treasure banknotes are printed now, the greater the harm will be in the future.

What else is he going to do?

When he was most short of money, he also told him that his Lao Zhu's biggest source of income was cut off.

What does it mean to add insult to injury?

What is the bottom of the kettle?

I'm afraid that's it...

"Father.. Father, are you alright? Chu Ze obviously said that there were too many Daming treasure banknotes, and he had no good way to solve it. ”

"Father, what should I do now?"

Hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang, who already felt that his brain was buzzing, muttered to himself at this time.

"Damn it, it's better to tell us who's going to die again. In this case, it really can't be solved, so let him die! ”

"Huh? Father, what did you just say? Erchen didn't hear clearly. ”

"No, we didn't say anything.."
