Liu Mao said: "Niangniang and King Xian, I deliberately issued an order before, strictly restricted, and the ministers did not dare to relax, and they were never allowed to collude with the inside and outside.

Because of this, the minister, is extra careful, after all, the king and the mother are immortals, will not give such an order for no reason, the minister, the little merit is all thanks to the king of the good, not to be praised by His Majesty. ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned, it turned out that the virtuous brother and the queen had made such a will, and there was really a problem with the envoys!

He immediately laughed: "Liu Qing can't be presumptuous, you can keenly detect the problem from a piece of paper and investigate it, this attitude of being able to do things and being willing to do things is worth emulating by everyone!" ”

"Liu Qing, I really don't know that the queen and the virtuous king have made such a will, as you said, this matter must be tired, after you go back, give me a good check, if necessary, you can use all means, be sure to find out!"

Liu Mao was praised by the Son of Heaven again, extremely proud and happy.

He fell to his knees with great joy.

"Minister, obeying the order will definitely bring good news to Your Majesty, and it will definitely give a reasonable reason for sending troops to the Japanese invaders!"

Zhu Youxiao secretly praised this Liu Mao in his heart, he is really a talent, and his mind is transparent!

"Flat!"

Zhu Youxiao said: "Courtiers like Zuo Qing, Yang Qing, and Liu Qing who have the courage to do things, I appreciate them very much, and I hope you will take the three of you as an example!" ”

Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian are also honored.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Zuo Qing, Yang Qing's proposal just now is very much in line with my wishes, the two of you will draft this solemn statement and submit it back!" ”

"In order to commend Zuo Qing, Yang Qing, and Liu Qing, for their good policies for the country, they will be rewarded with two banknotes of five yuan, totaling ten taels of silver, to encourage."

Zhu Youxiao took out six five-yuan bills and asked Song Jin to send them down.

The ministers were all a little dazed.

Treasure money? Is this thing still useful?

What does meta mean? Is two five dollars equal to ten taels of silver, and one dollar equal to one tael of silver?

Everyone's eyes looked at the treasure banknote in Song Jin's hand, which was obviously different in color from the treasure banknote.

Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and Liu Mao were also excited to kneel on the ground to receive the reward.

Whatever it is, at least it's an honor.

When the three respectfully accepted the reward, after Xie En got up, he couldn't wait to look at the two treasure bills in his hand.

At this glance, the eyes of the three of them widened!

I saw that in the middle of this five-yuan treasure banknote, there were colorful portraits of the Son of Heaven, the queen, the virtuous king, and the three people, and the images were lifelike, as if three living people were standing in the treasure banknotes.

The title book has the text of the Ming Royal Bank.

The book in the upper left corner has the words "five yuan".

On the right are the characters of the Chinese character five yuan and the number five of Taixi.

On the back is a background image of the magnificent Forbidden City.

The three of them looked at it repeatedly, and the more they looked at it, the more shocked they became.

The minister next to him was also extremely surprised when he saw it secretly.

Zhu Youxiao was amused in his heart, as if he had nothing to do, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, what else is going on? ”

Li Banghua came out: "Your Majesty, the minister now knows why King Xian didn't agree to the name of the imperial army yesterday, because the Japanese invaders used this as a name to cause endless killings to our Huaxia!" ”

"However, the minister's proposal that His Majesty be directly in charge of the new army, the minister still insisted on his own opinion, and at the time of the Ming Dynasty's resolute reform, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, His Majesty must have a strong army in hand! As for the name, the minister believes that it can be slightly modified. ”

"For example, the foot soldiers are collectively called the Ming Imperial Army. The cavalry is the cavalry of the Ming Empire, and the sailor is the sailor of the Ming Empire. ”

Colonel Zhu You nodded: "Imperial Army, haha, that's a good word!" The army of the empire on which the sun and the moon never set, naturally it is the imperial army! Li Qing is reasonable, quasi-playing! Come on, reward ten silver dollars! ”

Zhu Youxiao scattered another ten silver dollars and passed.

The exquisite silver dollar stunned Li Banghua again.

The rest of the people were also surprised.

It's treasure money again, it's silver coins again, is Your Majesty going to reform the currency system!

Shao Fuzhong, the secretary of the household department, came out: "Your Majesty, but you want to reform the currency system?" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I do have this plan, originally I was going to put this matter at the end, since Shao Qing asked it, I will talk about it!" ”

"Before I say that, you can speak freely, and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of my Ming coins now."

Shao Fuzhong said: "The minister's household department, supervising the currency production of the Baoyuan Bureau, will be the first to throw bricks and lead the jade." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Shao Fuzhong said: "At present, our dynasty mainly uses copper coins and official silver as the main currency, and the exchange ratio of silver and copper coins changes from time to time, generally the ratio of one or two silver to one thousand copper coins. ”

"As far as the minister knows, most of the copper coins are used by the small people in the market, and the use of ordinary merchants or a large amount of money is mainly silver, supplemented by gold."

"Because of the lack of copper in our dynasty, copper coins have been in a state of tension, and most of them are made from old money back to the furnace, and the fineness is different, which also leads to the different quantities of copper coins exchanged for silver in different colors.

"In addition, the surrounding states, such as the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Annam, etc., exchanged a large number of copper coins for their own use, resulting in a shortage of copper coins in our dynasty, and some places even bartered or used cloth as coins."

"The shortage of copper coins has also given rise to a large number of broken silver, which is extremely inconvenient in trading, one needs to verify the fineness of silver, but also to accurately weigh, and calculate the fire consumption!"

"As for the treasure banknotes, for various reasons, they have now declined, the face value has been seriously depreciated, and almost everyone has rejected them, and they have existed in name only."

"The above is the minister's shallow opinion."

Ni Yuanlu, the left waiter of the household department, said: "The minister believes that whether it is copper money or Daming treasure banknotes, there is a very serious problem, that is, the issuance of countless can be followed, especially treasure banknotes, because of the low printing cost, I continue to over-issue, which accelerates the depreciation of treasure banknotes!" ”

"Secondly, it is that counterfeits emerge in endlessly, bad money drives out good money, in terms of copper coins, first of all, the color is different, the weight is not the same, the content of copper is getting lower and lower, and even in Bashu there are iron coins, plus there are many private miners, resulting in extremely chaotic copper coins, which is also the main reason why the Ming Dynasty uses silver as the main trading currency."

"As for the treasure banknotes, one is that the issuance is excessive, and there are many counterfeits, but now this situation is gone, because the value of the treasure banknotes is too low, resulting in unprofitable."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly.

Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, the five-yuan treasure banknote is beautifully printed, and it should be extremely difficult to imitate, and the imitation situation that Lord Ni is worried about should be eliminated." ”

Li Banghua also said: "Your Majesty, the ministers look at this silver coin, and the production is also extremely exquisite. Each one is exactly the same, and it is difficult to imitate it, so he thinks it can be released. ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed: "This treasure banknote and silver coin are minted by King Xian with the technology of the fairy world, and the mystery is by no means superficial, I will talk about this silver coin first!" ”

"Song Jin, you send these silver coins and treasure banknotes, a set of treasure money and a silver coin for each person.

Zhu Youxiao motioned to Song Jin and asked him to understand what a set was.

Song Jin arranged for two eunuchs on duty to assist in carrying the sack and distributing it.
