At this time, the hundred officials of Fengtian Hall looked towards Li Xiao one after another.

"That's 30,000 people, how do you arrange it?"

"That's right. If there are arrangements from the imperial court, it is a huge expenditure! ”

"Not really. Although the treasury is relatively rich now, the cost is also large, and the saint will soon go to war, and the cost of silver is the same as running water."

Although the national teacher said that saints are saints, they still discussed it privately when they encountered such incomprehensible problems.

Li Xiao arched his hand and said: "Back to the Shengshang, now that my dynasty has opened the railway all the way to Shanhaiguan, the traffic is very convenient, and the exchanges between the two sides can be increased."

Although this Jianzhou is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, the people over there are still nomadic herders, speaking Manchu, using Manchu, if the cattle and sheep harvest is not good in the coming year, they will try their best to come to the Central Plains to plunder, what is the difference between this and the northern Warat?

According to the minister's opinion, I can show the magnanimity of a great country, build cities and houses for them in Jianzhou, set up schools to spread the Chinese language, and educate them to cultivate the land. In addition, the advanced aquaculture technology of the Ming Dynasty can be passed on, the aquaculture industry can be standardized to increase production, and the fish farming in rivers and lakes can be used to make it rich.

At that time, Qin Shi Huang was eloquent, the book was the same text, the car was on the same track, and now this Jurchen still uses Manchu and Manchu, since it is the country of my Ming Dynasty, isn't it an anomaly?

These 30,000 Confucian students can be arranged to go to the Zhuwei of Jianzhou, build a city, set up a school, teach them to speak Chinese, and spread Confucianism! Rush to the aid of the Great Northeast and truly integrate the territory into the Ming Dynasty! ”

A word fell.

The court officials were stunned.

Who would have thought that the national teacher's bearing was so high.

It is actually to Sinicize the entire Jurchen department, build the north as a whole, and pass on the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty.

"Good! Well said! ”

Zhu Di stood up from the dragon chair excitedly, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to come to the court for many days, and as soon as he went to the court, he spoke amazingly!

These words simply went to Zhu Di's heart.

He has always been obsessed with the land of Jianzhou.

Although it occupied the land, it did not popularize culture.

The culture is different from the Han, and this way of temporarily occupying the land must have drawbacks.

Maybe one day, when there is a union, it will be as troublesome as Warat in the north.

Zhu Di looked at Li Xiao with a smile and said: "Aiqing, you mean that this group of Confucian students who can't pass the official exam can be used to help us sinicize the nationalities of other territories, is this what you mean by this plan?" ”

Li Xiao arched his hand and said: "Yes, make the best use of things and do what people can, these talents who can't pass the official exam are not useless, at least they are very proficient in Confucianism, and we spread Confucianism in the past, that is, to spread our culture."

Not only the Confucian past, but also the craftsmen and peasants will be sent to move over there to build a city, where it is bitterly cold, to give the herdsmen a place to live and work in peace and contentment, shelter from the wind and rain, and enjoy the same treatment as the Ming Dynasty, so as to show the demeanor of a great country in our dynasty.

Subsequently, to encourage intermarriage, set up my Ming Agency, now there is no land there has not been allocated, just by our court to divide the land, free from the obstacle of reform, in this way, this Jianzhou is no different from our Chinese land other prefectures, states, this plan, is called Chi Ai Jianzhou! ”

Li Xiao paused and continued: "What Zhang Shilang said just now is right, these Confucian students, who have enjoyed the treatment of talents during the Hongwu period, have studied all their lives, and it is indeed a bit unkind to suddenly cancel these preferential treatments. Since I am a Confucian saint, I will do some practical things for these scholars, so that they can have a job to do and a way to make a living. ”

Although Li Xiao doesn't like the Manchus, there are fifty-six nationalities and fifty-six flowers, and the fifty-six nationalities are one family, and none of them is missing.

You just need to let them sinicize in advance, enjoy the protection of the Celestial Empire, live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people will be safe, and those things will not happen in the future!

"Good! Not bad! Rush to the aid of the Great Northeast."

Zhu Di bowed slightly, then looked at the other officials, and said, "Zhong Aiqing, what do you think of the national teacher's move?" ”

For a moment, the scene was slightly silent.

Obviously, this plan is very large, and many people have not yet come to their senses.

After a long time, a speech official named Zhang Han walked out and arched his hand: "Holy Lord, there are just some barbarians, wild boar skins over there. According to the national teacher, the Chinese language is passed on, and intermarriage is encouraged, so that the blood is compatible and integrated into our noble Han blood, is this?"

implication

I just feel that integrating these barbarians into the Han nationality feels that it is an insult to the Han bloodline.

As soon as this remark came out, other officials in the court also responded one after another, saying that this matter really needs to be thought about more and cannot be rushed to make a decision.

"Zhang Han." Li Xiao looked at the Yanguan and said with a smile: "As far as the national teacher knows, your ancestors should be from Longxi." ”

Because of the full spiritual points, Li Xiao's memory is very good, and the officials in the court, he looked at the files in the official department, and recorded them all in his mind.

Zhang Han arched his hand and said: "Returning to the national division, it is true." ”

Li Xiao smiled: "Then who do you think you are?" ”

Zhang Han held his head high and said proudly: "Naturally, he is Han." ”

Li Xiao said: "Are you really Han?" But in the Tang Dynasty, your place was the territory of the Huns, and if you go up for more than ten generations, you might be the Huns. ”

"This"

Zhang Han was speechless for a while, speechless, it seemed to make sense.

Li Xiao then looked at Zhao Wudao, another waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was discussing in private: "Zhao Wu, your hometown is from Daning, right?" ”

Zhao Wu nodded and said: "Thanks to the love of the national teacher, Xiaguan's hometown is in Daning." ”

Li Xiao said: "Who do you think you are?" ”

Zhao Wudao: "Of course it's the Han people." ”

Li Xiao smiled: "Count up to more than ten generations, you may be a Khitan." ”

"This"

Zhao Wu was also stunned, don't say it. It's really possible.

With this scene, everyone seems to understand the intention of the national teacher.

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Aren't the Xiongnu, Khitan, Turkic, and even the farther Baiyue, Rong, and Qiang all foreign tribes that have been in power in history?" Nowadays, their descendants, even you, who does not consider themselves to be Han Chinese? All dynasties have been sinicizing foreign peoples, and this is where the cultural heritage of our Han nationality lies. I, the Ming Dynasty, a great country, don't I have these bearings, and I still care about foreign races integrating into our bloodline? I want my country to say it."

Li Xiao exuded a kind of majesty all over his body, and then said with arrogance: "As long as we have the blood of the Han people, it will be the Han people, and that will be my Ming people!" ”

Hiss.

Everyone gasped.

Li Xiao's magnanimity has infected everyone.

It is said that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and this Li Xiao's belly can support the huge ship in the vast ocean, and the pattern is unmatched!

"Good! That's great, as long as you integrate into my Daming, you will be the people of my Daming. ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and said: "There is no need to discuss, just do what the national teacher said, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry will listen to the order, and within half a month, immediately draw up a plan to help the Great Northeast in me, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Wait for orders."

The four Shangshu first agreed.

Subsequently, Liao Junqing, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, this talent rushed to Jianzhou to preach, I don't know what treatment is needed, if the treatment is too bad, I am afraid that no one will be willing to go, if the treatment is too good, the burden of the court is very heavy." ”

Li Xiao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you directly give the official position to attract people!" In the existing official system, add another level of officials, the rank is 14 grades, enjoy the treatment of 14 level officials, if there is a wife and daughter, add subsidies, let them bring their wives and daughters over, avoid the pain of homesickness, if there is no wife and daughter, encourage to go there to marry a local woman, and then give a reward. ”

The officials of the Ministry of Shangshu glared at him, and said in his heart, this treatment is too good, like this, 30,000 people are afraid that they will have to go, I am afraid that many Xiucai who have returned to their hometowns will also be tempted again.

In this way, can the imperial court really afford such a huge expense?

Before the cultural relics officials raised objections, Zhu Di said: "Accurate, just do it!" Since there is going to be a city built over there, let's build another house for each person and let them settle there!! ”

Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, the construction of cities and houses costs a lot of money, and it also requires a lot of labor. And it's bitterly cold over there, and I'm afraid that no one in the Ministry of Industry wants to go. ”

Li Xiao said: "Aren't there herdsmen in the local area, give them money to earn, won't the labor come?" In the past, the Ministry of Industry will also send people over to give business trip subsidies, double the salary, and after ten years of assistance, return to the court and be promoted to two levels! What's more, there are a lot of newcomers who are admitted to the Ministry of Engineering this time, right? Bring it over to hone and hone it, and someone will go! ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, jumped his eyelids, I wiped it, the treatment is so good, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are afraid that they are rushing to go.

The head of the household, Xia Yuanji, is numb, so done, where did he get so much money?

He walked out and said, "Your Majesty, what the National Teacher said is good, but this huge cost, the imperial court can't support it, unless this Northern Expedition is canceled and the money will be won."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Cancel the Northern Expedition?" No, now that the Ming soldiers are strong and strong, it is a good time for the Northern Expedition. ”

Xia Yuanji frowned bitterly, and directly put the stall away, "You killed the minister, and you can't take out so much silver, I don't have the right book for this household, you see who can solve this huge expense, who will be in charge." ”

When the words fell, all the officials looked at each other.

This is really the case, and the large-scale development of Jianzhou, the addition of so many officials, and the relocation of so many people, the cost is not ordinarily large.

"You threaten me?" Zhu Di frowned.

"I don't dare." Xia Yuanji arched his hand and said: "It's just that the Qiao woman is a cook without rice, no matter how good she says, no silver is all empty talk." ”

Zhu Di thought about it, it was true, and directly threw the question to Li Xiao again, "The bell must be tied to the bell, since it was the national teacher who proposed this move, does the national teacher have a good countermeasure?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Xiao again.

Nima, it's really up to me. Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "The national division has its own clever plan. ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Xia Yuanji immediately looked at Li Xiao, and said respectfully: "National teacher, I would like to hear about it." ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "At the beginning, the national division built a county in Dong'an, and there was no money, but it still got the thing done, do you know?" ”

"The lower officials have learned about this matter."

Xia Yuanji frowned and said: "When the national teacher developed Dong'an County, he asked Qian Zhuang for the money he borrowed, right?" The national teacher doesn't think that my court also wants to borrow money, right? ”

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes." ”

Xia Yuanji was surprised and said: "It's just the county government, if my court wants to borrow money from Mingjian Qianzhuang, won't it become a laughing stock." And even if you ask Mingma Money Bank to borrow money, this huge amount of silver and two expenses, I'm afraid tens of thousands, how can you borrow money. ”

The officials nodded in approval, yes, how could the imperial court ask Qian Zhuang to borrow money?

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Borrowing money is borrowing money, but it is not borrowing money from the bank." ”

Xia Yuanji was slightly puzzled: "Then who will borrow money?" ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "This Ming Dynasty is the world of the saints, but it is also the world of the people of the world, so it is natural to ask the people of the world to borrow money!" ”

"What? Ask the world to borrow money? ”

As soon as this statement came out,

The civil and military officials looked at each other.

Ask people all over the world how to borrow money? Who will borrow?

No one is going to lend money to the court, right?

"National teacher."

Zhu Di was puzzled, his curiosity was aroused, and he said directly: "Don't go around the corner, come quickly." ”

Suddenly, the entire court fell silent.

Nowadays, the people of Peking are very wealthy, and their families have extra money, and there are many rich people all over the country.

But other people's money will only be put in their purses, and they will not be taken out at all.

If it weren't for the Ming Money, there would have been a lot of savings, but in fact, the people were reluctant to deposit the silver into the Daming Money.

He wants to see how the national teacher can ask people all over the world to borrow money.

Even if he is a Confucian saint, I'm afraid he can't do it, right?

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Anything that is only profitable is easy to push. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Now the people of Beiping are very wealthy, and every family has extra money, as long as they find a way, wouldn't it be good if they could make the people willing to pay for it?" ”

Xia Yuanji said tentatively: "Give interest? ”

"That's right! Give interest, and someone will be willing to pay for it. ”

Li Xiao explained: "I, the Ming Dynasty, can issue Ming bonds, ask people in the world to borrow money, and the imperial court will endorse them to raise financial funds." Let the people buy Daming bonds, promise to pay interest and repay the principal at maturity in a certain period of time, then you can ask the world to borrow money. After the construction of Jianzhou and other places is completed, it will be able to provide a steady stream of tax revenue like other prefectures in my Daming Dynasty. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

Li Xiao said lightly, but when it fell into everyone's ears, it exploded like thunder.

Too. It's so shocking, the national teacher is really scheming, and there is still this way of borrowing money????

"Huh! Hey!! ”

The head of the household, Xia Yuanji, is also a smart person, and quickly figured out the key to the problem, his eyes were round, and after listening, he had a feeling of enlightenment, and said in shock:

"Issuance of Daming bonds. Let the people pay money for the development and construction of the imperial court, and then the imperial court can get a large amount of taxes through the developed territory, recover the cost, and then return the money to the people and give interest. The court, the people, and the territory being built will all profit, which is a win-win-win situation!! ”

In fact, this method sounds very simple.

Just like a riddle, when you hear the correct answer, it feels so simple that you can think of it yourself.

But in fact, it's hindsight, and no one can think about being in front.

But the national teacher used a small measure to solve the current big problem of the imperial court.

It can also achieve a win-win-win situation.

"What a wonderful move!!"

Cabinet Yang Shiqi also shouted in surprise: "Ask the people of the world to borrow money, take it from the people, use it for the people, profit from the people, profit from the country, the national teacher is really a great talent!" ”

"The lower officials are in favor of this move, since it can develop national strength, why not do it, the railway built a few years ago, we are unanimously opposed. Looking at it now, it turns out that the national teacher has long been in his heart and has taken precautions! Cabinet Yang Rong arched his hand at Li Xiao and said: "Admire, admire to the extreme!" ”

As several cabinet officials praised it, the officials below also started.

"Clever plan, really a clever plan, worthy of my Ming national teacher!"

"The national teacher is really Xiao He of the Han Dynasty, Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty, and An Shi, the King of the Song Dynasty! And I have Li Xiao in the Ming Dynasty! ”

"I have long felt that the national teacher is powerful, you look at how rich Beiping is now, more than dozens of times better than Yangzhou in the south!"

"Yes, I have already discovered that our Daming has a national teacher, and it is really Dapeng that rises with the wind one day and soars to 90,000 miles!"

"The national teacher is the pillar of the country, and now it is the Qianlong that comes out, the national teacher is a thousand miles of horses, and the saint is also Bole, thousands of miles of horses meet Bole, and my Ming national fortune is continuous, soaring for nine days like a peng!"

Many officials boasted and boasted, and even the saint also boasted together.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, as if he had entered the Divine Cult of Kuakua, I have to say that these literati are comfortable patting sycophants, and they are praising themselves in different ways.

As for those officials who had anything to do with the landlords in various places, and were instigated by the landlords, and wanted to restore the privileges of Xiucai, they were completely silent.

Xiucai has indeed recovered his treatment and seems to be getting better.

But the result was very different from what they wanted.

Li Xiao is really good at resolving contradictions, directly putting aside contradictions and turning them into major national events

"Good! The issuance of Daming bonds is very wonderful! ”

After Zhu Di understood the benefits of this Ming debt, he was overjoyed and said: "In this way, you can get a win-win situation, and the people and the country will be happy. The national teacher is really worthy of being the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can be immortal for a day, but not without a national teacher for a day! ”

As soon as this statement came out,

The cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to Li Xiao one after another: "The national teacher is also a great talent!" ”

Hearing this,

What is more depressed is the cabinet's dismissal.

Last time, Xie Jin followed the great Confucian Kong Maoxue to make trouble, but Li Xiao directly became a Confucian saint, and Kong Maoxue became Li Xiao's apprentice, and he became Li Xiao's apprentice

So Xie Jin returned to the imperial court, and the official was reinstated.

When he heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.

When the saint was in Nanjing, he said to himself, "The world cannot be immortal for a day, and I cannot be less than a day of liberation." ”

How favored I was at that time!

As a result, after moving the capital, he immediately sat on the cold bench.

He looked at the appearance of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military kneeling and licking Li Xiao, and his heart was sour, isn't that his former self.

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Jin found that this Li Xiao was also really powerful.

The wild cursive calligraphy that I am most proud of practicing for decades was crushed by the national teacher with wild grass.

The four sentences that the national teacher once wrote: There are thousands of ages, there are eight wildernesses, the future is like the sea, and the future is long, and the wild grass is used.

Not to mention the poetry above, the calligraphy weighed on itself.

More than that,

The regular script of the national teacher can be comparable to Yan Zhenqing, and the line of writing can be comparable to Wang Xizhi

Not to mention, the self-proud Confucian attainments were also crushed by the national teacher, and people directly realized the new truth and became holy on the ground.

Ten years ago, he led troops to fight, and 3,000 people saved 100,000 people.

Five years ago, they attacked the Japanese and the Japanese and completely exterminated the Japanese invaders.

It is also constantly reforming, so that the country is becoming richer and richer, and the country is safe and healthy.

It can be said that Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go on the horse to determine the future.

Ay.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is reasonable for him to fall out of favor.

If you are born, you will be happy!

Xie Jin sighed in his heart.

The dark path is still honest, and it can't continue to toss.

With this in mind,

He also followed all the officials who knelt and licked Li Xiao to bow their hands, "The national teacher is a great talent!" ”

The praise lasted for a quarter of an hour before it slowly stopped.

Above this court, it has really become a cult of boasting and boasting, and it doesn't stop boasting.

From beginning to end, Li Xiao praised what he had done before and what he did now.

Yang Pu said excitedly: "Wonderful! Wonderful! If this move can really be done, then in the future, as long as the court is short of silver, then you can ask the people of the world to borrow money? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes also lit up, "It seems to be the truth." ”

"It's not going to work!"

Li Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and corrected his thoughts: "The issuance of Daming bonds is first of all the trust of the people, and since the imperial court wants to borrow money, it must repay the money." There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again. If this method is used at will, if the court does not pay the silver, it will be dishonest to the people of the world, and the people will not be able to get the silver back, and the world will be in turmoil. Therefore, we must be cautious in doing this. ”

After speaking, Li Xiao said again: "As long as you don't fish with all your might, kill chickens and take eggs." The issuance of Daming bonds to ensure the income of the people can indeed be implemented many times! It is an artifact of the country. ”

Words fall,

Sanyang bowed his hand together: "That's the truth, the national teacher reminds me!" ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and took Li Xiao's reminder in his heart.

This is indeed a double-edged sword, the Ming debt can not be started at will, we must be cautious, use it well, the country is getting better and better, use it badly, lose faith in the people, and the world is in turmoil.

That's right. Then take advantage of Li Xiao's still existence, rest assured and use it boldly.

When I get old, this strategy of Daming debt will be completely banned.

So as not to be used indiscriminately by future generations!

Thinking like this, Zhu Di was in a good mood, and waved his hand: "Okay, just as the national teacher said, the household department will immediately issue Daming bonds, and first see if our court can get the silver from the hands of the people." ”

"The order of the ministers, the saint is wise!"

All officials bowed together.

"Retreat!"

soon

After careful planning by the Ministry of Households, Daming Bond was officially launched in conjunction with Daming Money.

Li Xiao built this Daming money village at the beginning and did not start the function of saving money, mainly because there were no computers and calculators, and the huge data could not support too much passenger flow, which would lead to data chaos and the collapse of the money system.

Therefore, it still relies on private banks in various places to maintain the function of storing money, but in the future, as paper money becomes deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Li Xiao will plan to let Daming money bank replace money bank.

At present, the main role of Daming money is to issue Daming treasure banknotes and popularize the habit of using paper money, but it has not been promoted nationwide.

Because the existing amount of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty was not enough to support the gold standard of the whole country, Li Xiao's plan was to plan slowly, which was also discussed with Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, the issuance of Daming bonds is different, after buying, there is no need to change, and the amount of calculation required is small, so it can be promoted and implemented.

After Li Xiao's discussion, the interest on the Daming debt is calculated according to the number of years.

Daming bonds are divided into: five-year, ten-year, and fifteen-year tenors.

The annualized returns are: 5%, 6%, and 8% per annum.

As soon as the interest is due, you can choose to continue the purchase or get it back.

According to the lowest five-year term, one hundred taels of silver can get five taels of interest a year, and the interest of these five taels will be included in the principal for continued interest.

It is not allowed to be taken out before expiration.

Unless you can prove that the family needs money urgently, you can only withdraw it, but you can only withdraw the principal, and don't think about the interest.

After the official launch, Li Xiao took the lead in buying Daming bonds.

Bought fifty million taels of silver, fifteen years.

According to the interest rate of 8 percent, the interest for a year is 4 million taels!

If you sit and eat the mountain, you can't finish it

In fact, Li Xiao will only earn more money from doing business.

But now Li Xiao is standing at the pinnacle of power, rich and rivaling the country, money is really the same as numbers for him, more of a social responsibility.

In Li Xiao's original words, it is: Since the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, since I started my business, I have never received a fortune, I have never touched money, and I have no interest in money. The happiest time for me was when I was the magistrate of the county, and I received five taels of silver a month

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main thing is a companion!

With Li Xiao taking the lead in buying Daming bonds, coupled with such publicity in the newspapers.

Daming debt became popular in an instant.

The national teachers have bought it, we are still afraid of a fart, buy it!

The capital has gathered many wealthy businessmen from all over the country to do business.

These people are very shrewd, and they don't dare to exchange all their money for Daming treasure banknotes, they can only exchange part of them for treasure money, and the rest are cash silver, which is stored in the bank.

You must know that now in the money bank of the Ming Dynasty, if you deposit money into the bank, you have to pay a fee, and you have to pay a storage fee, and it is not low, as high as three percent.

That is to say, if you save a hundred taels of silver a year, you have to pay a storage fee of three taels of silver.

Don't say that you want to save the silver at home, the ancients were not stupid, and if you keep it at home, you are afraid that your family will be robbed every day.

And now if you buy a Ming bond, you can buy a five-year term for one hundred taels of silver, not only do you not need a storage fee, but you can also get five taels of silver!

Here, there is a difference of eight taels of silver!

That's not a small amount!

As a result, the matter of buying Daming bonds has become a talking point.

When we met before, we all greeted each other with words such as "have you eaten" and "where are you going".

Now it has directly become "I heard that Daming debts have not been bought", "I have not bought Daming debts", "Hurry up and buy it, the savings bank will suffer a loss".

Not to mention that saving money is a good habit of Chinese people, it has existed since ancient times.

These businessmen like to save money, many rich families, several generations of business, you don't know how rich they are, the money is secretly saved, the more you save, the more you save.

In addition, there are now rich businessmen who have just risen in Beiping City, many of them used to be poor, and after they got rich, they were like iron roosters, and they were obviously very rich, but he just didn't spend it.

As soon as the Daming debt came out this time, they bought it one after another.

directly blew up all these rich people in Daming.

There are also a large number of wealthy businessmen who came by train from Nanjing, and wealthy businessmen from all over the country have also bought Daming bonds.

As soon as they saw it, there was a long queue outside the Daming Money Village, and everyone was competing to buy it, showing a very lively scene.

The first to support the Daming debt was the development and reform of Beiping, and a group of people who got rich first, they were already bold, and they believed in the national teacher, so they bought it without hesitation.

Thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels to buy.

So this is the hot situation!

Those businessmen who came from other places and originally only planned to buy a small part of the Daming bonds, after this small atmosphere, immediately came up and bought a lot more.

I have to say that the gap between the rich and the poor in Daming is still very large, except for Beiping, how can ordinary people have spare money to buy Daming debts?

But these wealthy merchant families from other places are really rich in their families, thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels of bought, without frowning, you don't know how rich they are.

Daming bonds became the limelight for a while, and more and more people bought them.

At first, the merchants, then the officials of the imperial court also began to do it, and then the common people also began to buy.

The people of Beiping still have spare money, many people sell a stinky tofu, run well, can earn seventy or eighty taels of silver a year, so many years have passed, the house has also been bought, the bicycle has also been bought, and there are too many families who save one hundred taels or two hundred taels.

Ants are small, but they are also meat, and these people have accumulated a lot, and the sum of the silver they have saved is not less than the silver saved by rich merchants all over the country.

It is that the money banks in various places have suffered, and people continue to go to the money houses to redeem the silver these days.

Several banks collapsed as a result, and the banks found that they were not operating properly, or that there were moths in their homes, which were simply not enough to pay the people who came to withdraw the money.

These money banks were naturally dragged to prison by the government.

The situation of insolvency occurred, and the reporter immediately reported the incident, and the small newspaper exaggerated it like this, and as soon as it became small, people's trust in the money banks in various places had already collapsed.

Guogong Mansion,

At noon, Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun dined together.

These days, Li Xiao is almost always accompanying his wife in the mansion and living a leisurely life.

"Husband, you said that our family bought so many Daming bonds at once, didn't this asset be exposed all at once?"

Zhu Ningyun said with a little guilt: "Not long ago, when you were not at home, my father personally came to me to discuss, saying that he wanted to let the palace give some money to fund his Northern Expedition."

"Huh?"

Li Xiao was surprised: "And this matter, did you give the money?" ”

Zhu Ningyun's face flushed, "Given." ”

Li Xiao felt that something was wrong and asked, "How much did you give?" ”

"Given."

Zhu Ningyun was very embarrassed and said: "I gave 200,000 taels, and my father was so happy that he couldn't do it, saying that his daughter was not raised in vain, and his son-in-law left happily than his son." ”

"Ahh Li Xiao was also slightly embarrassed.

If you find out that you have bought 50 million taels of Daming debt, the 200,000 taels will feel like sending a beggar.

Li Xiao said: "Why didn't you give more at that time?"

Zhu Ningyun said: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, didn't you worry about you, husband?"

Li Xiao was stunned and understood Zhu Ningyun's heart at that time.

Zhu Ningyun was interested in her mother's family, but she didn't want Li Xiao to know that she was facing her mother's family, so she sent Zhu Di away with 200,000 taels of silver.

In fact, Li Xiao wanted to go to his mother's family, after all, this mother's family was the emperor

Besides, I want so much money, it's useless.

I also blame myself for not saying about it.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao pulled Ning Yun and said: "Ning Yun, then the next time my father comes to ask for money, you can give more, we are not short of money." Your father is my father, and the son is filial to Lao Tzu, isn't that a matter of course, give, give hard! ”

Zhu Ningyun was slightly stunned and said, "I can't give it if I want to give it now." ”

Li Xiao: "Why? ”

Zhu Ningyun: "These 50 million taels are all the cash in our house, and the Daming debt can't be refunded if it is bought, and we have no money." ”

Li Xiao: "."

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Li Xiao took a bite of chicken legs and said with a smile: "It's okay, I announced it in advance, Daming Qianzhuang keeps customer information confidential, and even the emperor can't view customers' personal information." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun patted his chest and said happily: "Then it's okay, we can get four million taels of interest every year, and there is no cash in the house." ”

Li Xiao smiled: "I can't finish it, I can't finish it, I can't finish it for a lifetime." ”

Zhu Ningyun glanced at Li Xiao, "It's not right, you're inflated."

Li Xiao: "If you want to be willful, you can be willful, if you want to swell, I will swell, what can you do with me."

Zhu Ningyun: "."

Not far to the south of the Forbidden City of Daming, there is a super-large building called the Beiping Warehouse.

Beiping warehouse reinforced concrete built like a bunker, the city wall is 20 meters high, 24 hours with armor guards with flintlock pistol patrol, this is the headquarters of Daming Qianzhuang.

In this place, a large amount of gold and silver was deposited, which supported the gold standard of Beiping, ensured the stability of the price of Daming treasure banknotes, and the defense was very strict, and flies could not fly in.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di moved the capital, they went in to visit once.

I haven't been here since.

On this day,

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang did not mobilize the crowd, took a carriage, and walked towards the Beiping warehouse with a few guards.

"There is news from the household department that the Daming bond of 10,000 taels of silver issued by Qianzhuang has been raised in less than a month, which is simply incredible."

On the carriage, Zhu Di said very excitedly.

Originally, Zhu Di planned to raise 10,000 taels of silver within a year, and some of them were used to build the wild land of Jianzhou, and the sinicization there was the same as in China.

As a result, he got so much money in a month, which shocked Zhu Di, it turns out that the people of the Ming Dynasty are so rich, and they hide their wealth from the people?

"yes, it's impressive."

Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned and said: "Ten years ago, my tax revenue next year was only more than 20 million taels, and in this month's time, I actually raised five times the tax revenue of the year, are the people so rich?" ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, I am really rich now, so much silver, how many things can the court do, Li Xiao said simply, the money for building the country is there, and now the military expenses are also available, hahaha. By the way, not long ago, I asked Ning Yun for 200,000 taels of silver to raise military expenses, it seems that I can pay her back, I can't ask for my daughter's money. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Okay, you are a fourth, state affairs are state affairs, family affairs are family affairs, how can you use private money to do national affairs?" What's more, that's Ning Yun, Li Xiao is your son-in-law, he has dedicated so much to the court over the years, he has done his best, and it is not easy to make some money, you still beat his idea, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is 200,000 taels, it really shouldn't be. ”

Zhu Di nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my father's lesson is that now that I have money, I will return the 200,000 taels of silver to Ning Yun later." ”

"Let's go to the money bank and have a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also curious about this, and said: "We want to see how this ten thousand taels of silver was raised." ”

A short time later, the carriage stopped in front of the Beiping warehouse.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang both got out of the carriage.

"The warehouse in Beiping is heavy, and you are not allowed to enter."

The guards guarding the gate immediately stood on guard, with flintlock pistols in their hands crossed their chests.

"Emperor Taishang, the Holy One is here in person, and he still doesn't kneel down!"

The Jinyi Guard's department responsible for guarding the emperor's security is called General Dahan, and the General Dahan led by him scolded.

The voice fell,

The faces of those guards changed, and they immediately knelt down, "We have eyes and no beads, see the saint." ”

Then, one of them immediately went in to report, and immediately the head of the money village walked out, "Minister, see the Emperor Taishang, see the Shengshang." ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Lead us in and have a look." ”

"Yes, Emperor Taishang, Holy Lord."

The head of the money village from the Guogong Mansion immediately bowed down and invited the two big Buddhas in.

Followed by introductions along the way.

Entering the gate, there are many large houses, neatly lined up, there are many houses, and there are many arithmetic gentlemen who are busy with the economy of Beiping, and the economic system is maintained by the people in it.

"Emperor Taishang, Holy Lord, you see, the arithmetic of this house is the statistics of prices in Beiping. This house is a statistical count of the amount of gold and silver exchanged for statistics. Here are all analysts, and here they are used for the analysis of price stability in Beiping, and here they are used for the analysis of tariffs."

In fact, this money bank has not yet opened the money saving function of the money bank, and Li Xiao has been trained by personnel to let him assume the role of the price department and the economic department.

"Unexpectedly, Li Xiao silently paid so much for Daming."

Zhu Di visited the houses in this room, and in each house, he could see that there were almost forty or fifty people busy with the arithmetic, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"What a good grandson-in-law, our brother is not mistaken."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very pleased, he only found out today that Beiping's economic development is so rapid and not so simple, it turns out that there are many institutions behind it silently support, these are all things that Li Xiao did.

Zhu Di nodded, looked at the chief manager and asked, "By the way, this time the imperial court issued Ming bonds, where are those cases?" ”

"This" The general manager immediately looked embarrassed, the information of the Great Ming Debt cannot be seen, it is absolutely confidential, if someone else proposes it, no matter how big the official is, the general manager will let him get out.

But the two big Buddhas in front of them, one is the saint and the other is the emperor, dare not say a word, isn't that a lantern in the thatched house, looking for death?

"What's inside the wall?"

Zhu Di found that there was a wall inside, and the wall was thicker than the outside, enough to be an arm's thick, so he pointed there and asked.

The steward replied: "Back to the Holy Place, there is a treasure house, and the case vault is also in it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised: "And the treasury? How much gold and silver? ”

The manager said truthfully: "There should be 100,000 taels of gold and silver." ”

Because of the trade with the Japanese state, the silver mines there were developed, and the gold and silver reserves in Beiping have increased greatly in the past five years, so there are so many gold and silver reserves.

"What!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked in unison.

Zhu Di was overjoyed and said: "There is so much money? ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the chief hurriedly explained: "Shengshang, this money is not the money of the imperial court, this is the savings of the entire Beiping Mansion and even the whole country to implement the gold standard, and it is the treasure money that the people exchange for gold and silver. ”

"Look you're scared, did I say I wanted to use it?"

Zhu Di didn't have a good airway, but he was still a little shocked in his heart, it turned out that the implementation of the gold standard was like this. No wonder how my father pushed the treasure money before, it was because of the lack of such a step.

"It's the minister who took the liberty of it, and Your Majesty forgives you." The manager touched his sweat.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Okay, take us in and have a look." ”

At this time, the chief manager was even more sweaty, kneeling on the ground and said: "The Emperor, the Holy One, the treasury is absolutely inaccessible." ”

As he was talking, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, had just finished checking accounts with the chief manager of Qianzhuang inside, and walked out of it, just in time to be seen by Zhu Di.

Xia Yuanji saw that something was wrong, and just wanted to sneak back, he was stopped by Zhu Di.

"Xia Yuanji, come here, you tell this person, can I go in here?"

Xia Yuanji saw that there was nowhere to escape, so he had to come over, and said helplessly: "Holy Lord, it is true that you can't enter."

Zhu Di frowned: "How can you enter?" ”

Xia Yuanji arched his hand: "This is a government need, if you sign a confidentiality agreement, if you leak secrets, you will be arrested and sent to prison." ”

Zhu Di wondered: "I can't go in and take a look?" ”

Natsuhara didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the general manager of Beiping Qianzhuang also hurriedly walked over, as if he was about to be amnesty, and said: "The national teacher has explained, no one can enter." ”

"What if we have to go in?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said slightly unpleasantly.

"You have to go in. The minister can't help it, the emperor, please come in."

After all, the chief manager knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only make a gesture of resignation.

Xia Yuanji looked at the backs of the two of them entering the vault, smiled helplessly, and then planned to slip away.

How could Zhu Di let him go, and suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Xia Yuanji, where are you going in such a hurry?" Come in together and tell me about the raising of Daming debts this time. ”

"Yes, Holy One."

Xia Yuanji was helpless, but still followed.

After entering the vault, the two did not rush to see the case of Daming debt, but went to the vault first.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested, he had never seen what a feat of 100,000 taels of gold and silver was, so he asked for this.

The gate of the vault is made of thick steel, and it is one foot high, which is stronger than the city wall.

Ten men worked hard to open the door to the vault.

The gold inside is melted into gold bars, neatly placed, piled up into a hill, and the words of Daming gold are engraved on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di walked into it.

Subsequently, the whole person was numb!!

The two of them wandered around the vault, their mouths becoming O-shaped.

"Fourth, how do you feel?"

"Dad, it feels good, very good."

The most gold they've ever seen, so bright that it's blinding!

They are extremely emotional, there is so much gold in this world!!

It's like you're in a sea of gold!

And this

It is the beginning of Li Xiao's future to make Daming treasure banknotes an international currency.
