Chapter 694: Bottom Line
"It's been seven or eight years!" Bi Yingdao smiled bitterly: "The brothers really have no choice but to make this decision!" ”
"You came to this king, do you want this king to help you?"
Bi Ying's face flushed, "Yes, but this is all Weichen's idea, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”
Zhu Jun's fingers tapped on the table, "To be honest, treasure money is a convenient thing, but it is not the right time to appear, or rather, the imperial court does not take treasure money too seriously."
You military households, who have been soldiers for generations, are not living very well.
It's okay now, but it will be a problem in the future. ”
Why did the Ming Dynasty pull its crotch so much, this military household system is one of the biggest reasons.
At the beginning, Lao Zhu recuperated and established a health center, which was good.
Moreover, the military household system does not require the state to spend any money, and it can be used in the face of war.
At the same time, the establishment of the military household system can send more people to garrison the frontier.
The relatives of these soldiers will also go to the border with them, forming settlements in the border areas, promoting local economic development and achieving prosperity in the border areas.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that the reason why the poor did not give the second child troops was because of the limited number of soldiers, coupled with the shortage of war horses and armor.
Of course, the strained treasury is also one of the reasons.
In Zhu Jun's view, the military household system is a poison wrapped in candy.
The early military household system could well adapt to the social development at that time and provide more guarantees for the country.
But the issue of land annexation has also arisen, and land annexation has become increasingly intensified.
Large amounts of land were in the hands of the nobility and landlords, who were not subject to taxes, reducing the state's revenues.
At the same time, under the military household system, the officers were tantamount to landlords, and the soldiers became tenants who farmed for the officers for free, and the soldiers were even sent by the officers.
There were even some soldiers who became personal servants of officers.
Many soldiers would rather run away from business than be oppressed in any way
The military household system, which originally existed to defend the development of the Ming Dynasty, turned out to be rotten in the end, and even promoted the demise of the country.
Second, under the military household system, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they cannot guarantee their strength.
It's like Qi Jiguang fighting against the Japanese, but he didn't use the soldiers of the guard, most of them were recruits.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system was indeed very good in the early stage, not only reducing a large amount of financial expenditures, but also not allowing the pressure of these military households to be transferred to the people, and allowing these military households to farm on the spot and train on weekdays.
But now the world has not yet been unified, and Weihaiwei, a place near the sea, is far inferior to the inland.
Coupled with the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the military expenditure was very large.
Weihaiwei in this time and space has suffered even more than in another time and space.
At the instigation of Meng Yuan, the Wadao State often raided Weihaiwei, not only the ronins, but also the real regular army.
And this military posture is very good, and it is deducted with treasure money, who can afford it?
For this kind of military family, a military household is the main force of the family, does it all depend on the women and children in the family to farm?
If the wind and rain are good, you can still make a living, but if it is a disaster year, you will have to go into debt.
In just a moment, Zhu Jun figured out the joints.
When Bi Ying saw Zhu Jun criticizing the military household system, he was too frightened to say anything, but said: "Weichen just wants the brothers to live a better ......."
"Since you dare to come to this king, it means that you still have a little to worry about, Weihaiwei's difficulties, this king knows, so let's do it, in the future, if you have treasure money, you will take it to the palace to exchange."
One or two treasure banknotes, according to the market price to exchange, of course, the king is not talking about the price of the people, no matter how low the king can give you eighty five to ninety, the less you also understand, even if it is copper money, there is also a difference between good and bad quality! Zhu Jun said.
Bi Ying was overjoyed, but when he thought about it, there were more than 1,000 people in the guard, which was a large amount of silver expenditure, and no matter how rich Weihai Wangfu was, it couldn't be like this, right?
"Your Highness, this is too much of a loss for you, it's okay once, if it's like this again ......."
"It's okay, this king naturally has a way." Zhu Jun said to Xun Busan on the side: "Tell Dabao, in the future, the people of Weihaiwei will exchange the treasure banknotes and exchange them in a unified manner, and they can't deliberately deduct the price." ”
Bi Ying looked at Zhu Jun gratefully, his face flushed, "Your Highness, Weichen, Weichen......"
Zhu Jun patted him on the shoulder, "There is a problem, you come to this king, it means that you trust this king, but this king said that the ugliness is in front, it is not difficult to counterfeit this treasure banknote, if someone takes a fake treasure money to cheat money, one counts as one, and this king will never let it go!" ”
Bi Ying was shocked, patted his chest and said: "Who dares to do this kind of thing that has no son without a seed, Weichen is the first to do it!" ”
To put it mildly, Zhu Jun can cash out eighty-five or even ninety-percent of the treasure money, which can be compared to the Shenwu Tongbao with good quality.
Some of the bad quality is only seventy percent or even seventy percent five, and the value is very low.
Although the official pricing is there, the people have a shot in their hearts that it is impossible to take their own things and let you take advantage of them in vain.
Now, Zhu Jun is losing himself and fattening them.
It is said that Zhu Jun has a good heart, and when I saw it today, it was true.
Bi Ying knelt and knelt again, thinking in his heart that in the future, in Weihaiwei, whatever the King of Weihai said, it would be whatever it was.
"Okay, you quickly inform me and exchange all the treasure money they have accumulated in their hands, and don't mix with merchants in the future, understand?" Zhu Jun reminded.
Bi Ying's heart sank, "Yes, Your Highness!" ”
After Bi Ying retreated, Xun Busan was puzzled: "Your Highness, this treasure money is actually worthless, let's exchange it with him, wouldn't it be a big loss?" ”
"You don't understand." Zhu Jun shook his head, taking Meng Yuan's banknote as an example, in order to issue this banknote, Mengyuan's imperial court even established a complete reserve fund system.
And Lao Zhu issued this treasure banknote, purely casually, in order to alleviate the financial pressure, there is no complete corresponding system.
Fortunately, he didn't harvest leeks like crazy, otherwise the inflation of the great cause would have exploded.
The financial system is too chaotic at this stage.
Copper coins, treasure money, silver, gold, in some remote areas, even bartering.
In Zhu Jun's view, Daye's financial system is very weak and can be broken at the first poke.
And Daye has the germ of capital, so banks can be born.
Of course, the exchange of treasure money is also because it is controllable, not that he is ready to give Lao Zhu the treasure money.
No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to give treasure money to the bottom, unless Daye has a complete financial system and can short the currency, otherwise it will be a loss of money.
And this kind of business of cutting off children and grandchildren, Zhu Jun can't do it, because in the end, it is the ordinary people who are unlucky.
There is already a history of banknote issuance, which means that the people have the ability to accept it.
And if you want money to be valuable, it must first circulate among merchants.
