"Understood." The prince nodded, knowing that this was a big deal.

The six dukes of the Ming Dynasty are the six mountains. The first line of Wei Guogong can be regarded as the third largest mountain in the army, second only to the first line of Wei Guogong and Zheng Guogong. It is stronger than Cao Guogong's lineage, who is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

And Zheng Guogong Chang Mao himself is young and arrogant and unreasonable, but his father Chang Yuchun is a fierce general, these people have basically become princelings, and Chang Mao is just a mascot.

In addition, Wei Guogong has become the fourth father-in-law, and Song Guogong will soon become the fifth father-in-law.

Firmly grasping the Wei Guogong line has become a top priority. So in this westward expedition, the second child must go.

~~

The two agreed on the policy of sending troops, and Zhu Biao continued to report, Zhu Zhen was not interested in these bullshit things, and he didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only lie there and fall asleep.

It wasn't until he heard his eldest brother talk about the use of the treasury in the household department and the exchange of faint banknotes, and suddenly came to his senses.

The sixth child's perception of the Daming treasure banknote has changed.

The original stereotype is that Daming treasure money is a failure, garbage, worthless, and it is too hard to wipe your ass...... Later generations ridiculed Boss Zhu for not understanding the economy and finance, and he must have taken this as an example.

In the early days of the issuance of treasure banknotes, the people's rejection of the reaction seemed to verify his impression.

However, in the past two years since the issuance of the treasure banknote, the sixth child was surprised to find that at least for now, the effect of the banknote issuance is surprisingly good.

Before that, the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty was that there was no money.

In the past, the Yuan Dynasty didn't look at the collapse quickly, but the escape had been planned for a long time. They were just like the captain Jiang in later generations, before they were defeated and retreated to Mobei, they swept away all the valuable things in the north, especially the gold and silver of the treasury and the people, which were almost wiped out.

They have looted in place and left no regrets, and Boss Zhu's Ming Dynasty will be embarrassed.

The state has no money, and nothing can be done for farmland water conservancy and national construction.

The common people have no money in their hands, so they all rely on barter, and all industrial and commercial trade are cleared, and the national economy has almost come to a standstill.

In order to solve the money shortage, Boss Zhu tried his best, and even the bronze utensils of the common people's homes were forcibly requisitioned to mint money.

But it's still a drop in the bucket, to no avail. As a result, there is a lack of money, and some people draw fake money for their own absurdity......

It can be said that if the problem of money shortage is not solved quickly, the new Ming Dynasty will not live and die poor, but will have to die a chaotic death.

As a result, the issuance of Daming treasure banknotes has solved this big problem!

Just ask you if the treasure money is money, right?

Yes, that's it. Who would dare not take it? Kill him!

If the imperial court can print its own money, it will finally be able to spend it. What kind of farmland water conservancy and national construction can all be carried out.

In particular, the largest military expenditure, when it comes to the supply of military money and food, is almost entirely paid for by treasure money. It can be said that without the Ming treasure banknote, there would be no Northern Expedition of the Duke of Wei, and the emperor's father and son would not have the confidence to plan any westward expedition!

As for the common people, through the compulsory payment of the imperial court, they also have money in their hands. Daming treasure banknotes are better than their own paintings, right?

In addition, in order to promote the treasure bank, the imperial court also formulated unprecedentedly strict management methods. If you dare to forge treasure money, you will have to cut off even one of them. The trade in gold and silver was also prohibited, and anyone who dared to use gold and silver in violation of the law was confiscated from all family property.

Under such tough measures by Boss Zhu, Daming treasure banknotes swept through all provinces and counties like a flood, so that the people had money in their hands...... It can be said that after a long period of drought, circulation was restored, industry and commerce also quickly improved, and the economy recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

~~

Therefore, only from the current point of view, the treasure banknote has played an excellent role, and it has basically not depreciated, and it is completely the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty to break free from the serious economic crisis at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and recover the national strength.

However, you must not fool around, fooling around will kill people, and it is the kind that can never be recovered......

So as soon as he heard the old thief and the eldest brother talk about the banknote, Zhu Zhen became vigilant.

He listened to the prince relay the suggestions of Hu Weiyong and the household department, and then the eldest brother said that he did not approve of the cost of work. I think it should be given for free

Ordinary people trade in the old for the new.

Boss Zhu was really unhappy. "Boss, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Do you know how much it costs to print a treasure banknote? To choose the best mulberry paper, just this paper, the old nose money. Not to mention that the engraving and ink are all specially made, and these are all money.

"The cost of a treasure banknote is at least 30 yuan, and the imperial court sends out tens of millions of treasure banknotes a year, which is 300,000 yuan! This large sum of money, can it be said that it is exempt? Zhu Yuanzhang taught Zhu Biao a lesson:

"And you are free of labor and ink costs, the Ministry of Industry Treasure Money Bureau will print money in the future is a pure loss of money, the more the printing quality will be worse, the people will rot in a few days, who will use the treasure money at that time?"

"What my father taught me is ......" Zhu Biao is also a layman to such a new thing as treasure money. Listening to what his father said, he wondered if he had thought about the problem simply.

"No, my father's lesson is wrong!" Zhu Zhen finally couldn't help but say: "Big brother, you were right!" ”

"You kid knows a fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't hold back when he boarded, and he wanted to get the thorn strip again, but he was taken away by the prince in advance.

"I don't understand, but my master does!" The sixth child moved out of his god card.

"Then tell me, how did we teach the wrong lesson?" Boss Zhu really suppressed his anger and asked in a muffled voice.

"The reason is very simple, my father compelled to use treasure money as money!" Zhu Zhen used the name of the teacher to educate the old Zhu Dao:

"And it is also stipulated that the treasure money of the same denomination is equal to a thousand copper coins, or one tael of silver! May I ask my father, is this a permanent rule, or will it change? ”

"Of course, it's a permanent rule." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "This is the law of eternity, it is related to the people's money and the reputation of the court, how can it be changed overnight?" ”

"Well said! However, whether it is copper coins or silver, if they are placed there for ten or a hundred years, they will not change. The Ming treasure banknote will be damaged and rotten very quickly, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of paper! Zhu Zhen said loudly:

"Now, less than two years after the treasure banknote was issued, there are already faint banknotes. It is difficult to prevent counterfeiting of faint banknotes, so you must go to the government to exchange new banknotes. As a result, I had to pay another 30 yuan to exchange for a new banknote. In other words, the common people have worked hard to earn the same treasure money, and they didn't buy anything, and there are only 970 Wen left!

"May I ask my father, is the same denomination as a thousand copper coins?!" Zhu Zhen asked loudly: "According to the frequency of changing every two years." After thirty-three stupores, that is, sixty-six years later, the value of the usual treasure will be only ten cents!

"And a thousand copper coins, sixty-six years later, it is still a thousand Wen! Father, is this the law of eternity? Is this the result of the people's trust in our old Zhu family?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded and couldn't refute......
