In the Qianqing Palace, there are only three fathers and sons. The palace people have long been repelled by the crown prince.

"Father think twice, what the people say makes sense, the money for collecting work not only pits the people, but also damages the credit of the treasure bank!" The prince also agreed.

"Then keep giving them new banknotes for nothing?" Boss Zhu's small farmer was conscious and distressed.

"What do you mean by getting new money for nothing?!" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but taunt on the spot. "Why don't you say it, take a piece of paper yourself first, and exchange it for something worth a thousand yuan for the common people?!"

"This ......" Boss Zhu was asked with a red face, but he has to be strong in his life, how can he let his son teach him a lesson? immediately said loudly: "Then the court will have to die sooner or later!" ”

"What a big ghost! First, with the large-scale printing of treasure banknotes, the cost will be greatly reduced, and a penny is too much. Still charge the people 30 wen? Black-hearted businessmen aren't so black! Second, the imperial court can issue tens of millions of new treasure banknotes every year, and the cost of printing money is only a drop in the bucket compared to the income! According to the principle of who benefits, who is responsible, it should be borne by the imperial court.

"Third, the imperial court continues to put treasure money into the people, so that the economy can be circulated, the country can be strong, and the people will be rich. This requires maintaining the treasure money from depreciating, and it is worth spending any amount of money! After a pause, the sixth child then mocked: "I don't know how to do a good job in the economy, Lao Dou!" ”

"......" No matter what happened to Lao Zhu, the prince blushed first, feeling that he was really ignorant.

"I call you a kid maniac, I call you a boy maniac!" However, the old thief was so angry that he could not find the thorn, so he took off the sole of his shoe and smoked it.

"Am I wrong?! Why can the imperial court use paper as money? That's the people's trust in Daming! It was in exchange for the father's expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China! The common people believe that you Emperor Hongwu will not pit them, so they will accept the treasure money! ”

The sixth child put on his pants and jumped up and ran, shouting loudly as he ran: "My father exchanged a piece of paper for a thousand Wen for the people, thinking that he had made a profit, and thought that he had not paid anything?"

"No, that's a big mistake! You have paid for your reputation and overdrawn the country's credit, stupid! ”

"Who are you calling stupid?" Boss Zhu was already contemplative, and he was furious again when he heard the words!

He chased after him with one bare foot and a shoe.

"You stop Lao Tzu!"

After all, the sixth child has a wound on his cheek, he can't run fast when he limps, and he eats the sole of his shoe if he is cold.

"Sixth, talk to your father well, don't ask for hardship." The prince hurriedly persuaded the sixth child: "Stupid, run around the pillar!" ”

Hongwu chased the king of Chu, and the king of Chu ran around the pillar, and while running, he kept saying:

"How did the Yuan Dynasty end? It's just that I played my banknote method badly, the treasure money issued was worthless, no one collected it and no one used it, and finally I was poor to death!

"If my father doesn't learn the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty, once the Ming Dynasty's banknote law is corrupted, the country will be finished! You don't want to wait for your grandchildren to run out of banknotes, do you? ”

~~

Yin Jian of the Yuan Dynasty is not far away, so Boss Zhu is still very wary of the depreciation of treasure banknotes. is not as the sixth thinks, completely let the depreciation of the treasure banknote. Rather, it has been actively maintaining its value.

For example, in March of the seventeenth year of Hongwu, less than ten years after the issuance of Daming treasure banknotes, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to stop issuing them. The ostensible reason is that 'the state is full of money, and it wants to relieve the craftsmanship', which means that the treasure money is enough, so let the coinage craftsmen rest and rest.

In fact, it is to cope with the continuous depreciation of treasure banknotes and stabilize the confidence of merchants in treasure banknotes.

So by the end of the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the consistent banknotes could still be exchanged for 400 Wen......

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, the treasure banknote has always been exchanged for copper coins for 250 wen.

In order to curb the depreciation of treasure banknotes, in August of the 27th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang even issued an edict prohibiting the use of copper coins in transactions, but he did not let the treasure money be completely played.

However, after his death, first the good saint Sun Jing was difficult, and then the old four who were very happy to cultivate this and build that, six out of the desert and seven to the West...... It costs a lot of money! What if you don't have money? Crazy money, the result is to do the treasure money in one go.

Worthless, completely hopeless......

~~

So after Boss Zhu beat up Lao Liu, he still asked shamelessly: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

"In fact, if you want to keep the value of paper money stable, you need to do three things. One is that you can trade in your old for free. In this way, there will be no difference in the price of the old and new banknotes, and the people will not refuse to accept the old banknotes, so that they can rest assured that they can save treasure money. ”

The sixth child talked eloquently, if he hadn't been beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he would have a bit of the demeanor of a virtuous king.

"The second is not to only put in the cage but not to return, or to put more and less to return. It is absolutely not possible to show a preference for copper coins, and it is necessary to treat treasure money and copper coins equally. Only when the court firmly believes that money is money, the people will not value money and ignore money! ”

"Hmm......" Boss Zhu and the prince nodded together, both listening very seriously.

"And the third is to strictly control the amount of treasure banknotes." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Especially in the early stage of credit establishment, for example, each year cannot exceed 10% of the previous year. The most important thing is that when the rules are set, they must be followed. This is certainly not as convenient as printing money casually, but once it is issued indiscriminately, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the end of the Yuan Dynasty. So this is a very test of the emperor's self-control. ”

"Hmph, this is no problem......" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled smugly, in terms of self-control, he can be called the most emperor of all dynasties.

"As long as you always remember that you are not taking paper, but taking your own credit in exchange for the wealth in the hands of the people, you will not be indiscriminately discriminate." The prince also said that he was fine.

"Hmm. Father and eldest brother must be able to restrain themselves. Zhu Zhen nodded, sighed, and said: "But to be honest, everything that is supported by credit will go bankrupt sooner or later." Future generations will definitely have the pot that can't be opened, and when the eyebrows are burned, there will definitely be people who can't help but abuse it. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "We can set the law of our ancestors, who dares to disobey it?" ”

"Hehe......" The sixth laughed and said, "This will definitely be much better." ”

He wanted to say that the law of the ancestors was a fart. Actually, it's your step too big to pull the egg. But he really didn't dare to be beaten anymore, so he said euphemistically:

"When Yunnan is recovered in the future, there will be Yunnan copper. The imperial court should gradually allow the people to exchange freely. Then let go of the ban on gold and silver, gold and silver are naturally currency, we don't let the people use it, aren't we cheating people? Who we can pit, we can't pit the people. In this way, the world of the old Zhu family will last for a long time, right? ”

The sixth old, the sixth old, used words in the last paragraph. He knew that the old thief would definitely not be willing to let the people exchange the treasure money for the copper coins. So he finally used the words that the old thief often taught them, and gagged the old thief's mouth. The old thief was embarrassed to veto his proposal directly. I'll have to leave that for later......
