But even more lively than the market is the Josai Elementary School! There are quite a few people queuing up to exchange money!

Liu Haojia demolished a section of the fence of the school yard and built a row of houses in the gap. There is a big signboard hanging at the main entrance: Jingshi Bank!

A few days ago, there weren't many people here, but now it's full of traffic and crowds! Most of the people who came here were low-ranking officials and relatives who came to exchange money. However, the bank's guys did not complete their business as soon as possible, but kept instilling in them the truth that the bank's banknotes can also be used in various merchants.

This matter was specially explained by Liu Haojia. His purpose was to prepare for the large-scale use of his silver bills by merchants and officials in the future. Once his silver ticket is spread out in the Jingshi, it will be much easier to push it in other cities.

This is a real financial instrument! In later generations, how could anyone who engaged in finance not get rich! Especially in this era when the economy is very simple, the simple means that Liu Haojia knows have become gold hands! If there is a relatively mature bank behind him, nothing can be done!

After the persuasion of the guys, many people left in disbelief. But there are still quite a few people who insist on exchanging money. In the face of this request, the guys naturally did not hesitate to help him exchange for silver. Seeing their joy in exchange, many people also hesitated, accepted the statement that this kind of silver ticket can be used at will, and left with the silver ticket. And it will turn out that their choice is correct, after all, this lightweight, soft silver ticket is much more convenient to carry than heavy silver.

At the same time, in the study at home, Zhang Juzheng, who was wearing a casual home, was carefully examining a silver ticket in his hand. This silver ticket was brought to him by You Qi.

Originally, there was no need to alarm Zhang Juzheng about receiving gift money, but because the money was recovered from the merchant and then forwarded, You Qi felt that this was a big deal and should be told to Zhang Juzheng. That's why I came with a silver ticket.

Zhang Juzheng carefully looked at the silver ticket for a long time and then put it down and said: "This silver ticket is very exquisitely made!" And a lot of effort has been put into anti-counterfeiting, it seems that this person is not small-minded! ”

Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, naturally needs to understand some simple financial knowledge, not to mention, even if he doesn't understand, there will be people who can give advice. So he was keenly aware of Liu Haojia's thoughts. It's just that he can't figure out the reason yet.

At this time, You Qi said on the side: "What does the master mean, is he going to roll out this kind of silver ticket on a large scale?" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "You see that these silver tickets are finely made, not to mention, especially in anti-counterfeiting!" Now, at a cursory glance, there are already five recognizable means of preventing forgery! I think Liu Haojia must have more hidden anti-counterfeiting methods, but we don't know it yet! ”

You Qi said: "I didn't pay attention to the way the silver ticket is made, I was just very interested in the face value of the silver ticket. You see, sir, the area of his silver ticket is divided into seven kinds, such as one tael, five taels, ten taels, fifty taels, etc., and they can be combined at will, no matter how much silver they have. If it is really rolled out in the future, the gold and silver shops and banker tickets will be headed by him! ”

But when he finished speaking, he found that Zhang Juzheng was actually thinking about something. When he saw this, he fell silent, but added a piece of spice to the incense burner and stood still.

After a long time, Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "You Qi, in fact, the prime minister was very emotional just now, because this money is clearly the business tax of the merchants in Jingshi!" You know, this is what I always wanted to do, or what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do! I didn't expect him to not only do it, but also do it! ”

Hearing this, You Qi hurriedly said, "Master doesn't have to think so much! Although he seemed to have done it, in fact the money did not go into the treasury, but was distributed to officials at all levels. Even the money that was given to His Majesty went into the inner treasury. To count, it should be regarded as extortion and bribery! ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "You don't understand! As long as you tear a hole in the commercial tax, it will be much easier to do things in the future! You see, although this money has not entered the treasury now, some of the money that goes to the treasury will always be used for state affairs! ”

You Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, because he knew that Zhang Juzheng was thinking of digging out the royal inner treasury! It is estimated that in the future, he and other pavilion elders will try their best to take out the silver from the inner treasury to make up for the treasury, I am afraid that the silver of Emperor Wanli will be spent before he can cover it!

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Now that the commercial tax has been collected, if there is an opportunity in the future, as long as the imperial court changes the decree, the money will be able to enter the treasury smoothly!" If the imperial court can collect commercial taxes from the whole country, the annual income of the imperial court can be increased several times! How many great things can the imperial court do at that time! ”

You Qi frowned when he heard this and said, "But master, if the money distributed to the various officials is not given, they will not agree!" Maybe it will cause turmoil! ”

Zhang Juzheng said indifferently: "This is simple, when you divide the money, reduce it a little, and the rest should be raised, and they won't say anything if you think about it!" After all, the country's Yulu is indeed a little lower! ”

You Qi was stunned when he heard this! Because he really didn't expect the original way to break the game to be so simple! An understanding of the officials, if they don't give them a share of the silver, they will definitely make trouble, but if they share a little less, they will most likely swallow their anger, after all, there is still silver to take, or in the name of increasing the Lufu Mansion to cross the dirty silver over the clear road, it is better than nothing after angering the court!

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly raised his head and said, "You Qi, how about you say that the prime minister began to collect commercial taxes?" ”

Hearing this, You Qi's hairs all over his body stood up! He was shocked and said, "Master, this is a hundred thousand! Not to mention those people in Jiangnan, we can't afford to offend, even the mysterious and mysterious Juggernaut will not give up! If so......"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly became excited, he sat up straight and said: "Don't worry, Benxiang won't do this right away, at least not until he clarifies the world's acres!" When the treasury is full in the future, adjust the soldiers of the guard, and then nothing can be done at that time! The world is in the palm of your hand! ”

You Qi frowned worriedly when he heard this, he knew that it was useless to persuade him, Zhang Juzheng had clearly made up his mind at this time, there was nothing he wanted to do. So he could only be silent.
