"That's right, we know this, and then it can't be smaller, the horns are fine." Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that the small denomination was indeed good.

Because an egg can't be exchanged for a pound of rice or half a pound of rice, especially now a large number of poultry are raised, how much feed a chicken eats can lay an egg, in fact, it is equivalent.

Half a pound of rice under an egg? You can kill as many chickens as you want, and you can't eat them?

There are more pigs, and the price of pork must also match the feed ratio, and then add labor costs and the cost of accidentally raising to death.

There is more sugar cane, more glutinous rice, a piece of sugar is not worth a penny, and the price of some things is declining as productivity increases.

Soybeans and sorghum in Shandong are cheaper because they are planted after the winter wheat is harvested.

Ningguofu, Taiping Mansion, Yingtianfu and other places around the place where you learn to intercrop and rotate, jute and ramie are not expensive.

However, the price of rapeseed oil is very stable, and hemp and cotton are also grown elsewhere, but there are few rapeseeds, and merchants will transport the rapeseed oil here to other places to sell, and jute and ramie do not have that advantage.

The oil residue after squeezing rapeseed oil is a good thing, feeding livestock grows fast, and hemp seeds are also squeezed for oil.

The small denomination of treasure banknotes is in line with the needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is convenient for buying and selling, such as a small handful of coriander, and a dime can buy it back and borrow a flavor.

"Yes, Your Majesty, one million guan is enough to flow, no one will carry a lot of dimes, they have to change their dimes to texts, and if they have more dimes, they will exchange them for ten texts, and if they have more than twenty texts, they will have to pay for them."

The chief then said that the face value of the treasure banknote was determined according to the demand, and the plan given by Han Han.

Zhu Wentian was listening, and nodded a few times from time to time, giving people the feeling that he could understand.

Zhu Wentian actually thought about it too much, and then he pondered that it was not right, which was not in line with the situation of Daming.

At that time, he had a penny in the early days because of the influence of the previous 'dynasties', and the yuan at that time was a silver dollar.

The purchasing power of a silver dollar is too great, so when issuing currency, one yuan is equal to the value of one silver dollar, such as Yuan Datou.

The purpose of this is to recover the precious metals silver and gold, where a circle is equal to one dollar, and gold is a large and small gold bar, compared to silver dollars.

Whether it is a small goldfish or a large goldfish, the normal exchange of silver dollars is as much as the yuan of banknotes.

How much can you buy for a silver dollar? But the horn and the cent divided the silver dollar into ten and a hundred.

The issue of historical continuity is easy to dock, and it can be understood and accepted both at home and abroad.

The Ming Dynasty is not good, the Ming Dynasty's penny is not a silver dollar, one silver dollar is equivalent to two-thirds of two taels of silver, more than 26 points, and one or two pieces of silver in the Ming Dynasty are more than 37 points.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver is equal to a thousand Wen, which has long been subdivided, but it is a copper coin, which is not equal at all, and the copper is also less.

As productivity increases, especially with the positioning of food prices, there must be smaller denomination currencies.

Even if you buy half a catty of rice for a penny, it is not half a catty that is steamed, depending on whether it is new rice or old rice, and then a bowl of rice is a penny? The people did not want to accept it.

A boxed lunch is only three cents, there are vegetables, soup and pickles, poor! I don't agree that the profit is so high for you to sell food.

Then a bowl of indica rice for triangular money and a bowl of japonica rice for five dimes are much better.

There is also no land to grow vegetables at home, Nanjing City wants to make a cucumber slice egg soup, a cucumber is enough, how much is it? A penny? Spit in your face.

That's how it is with money, wait until later......

Zhu Wentian believes that the Ming Dynasty will also have a dime in the future, and even a penny, because the technology continues to improve, the productivity is higher, the yield per mu has increased, and there is always a trade surplus in foreign trade, so the living materials of the Ming people will be cheap.

Like the developed countries of his time, a pair of leather shoes in developing countries were sold for 300 yuan in their currency, and in developed countries their currency was 10 yuan.

One dollar in developed countries is seven dollars in developing countries.

That is, a developed country buys 300 yuan of leather shoes from a developing country for 70 yuan in a developing country.

At the same time, people in developing countries earn an average of 3,000 yuan a month, and developed countries also earn 3,000 yuan a month, but in their own currencies.

So the money earned by developed countries in a month is converted into 21,000 yuan in developing countries, and 70 yuan of shoes is cheaper?

People in developing countries buy 10 pairs of leather shoes with a monthly income, and those in developed countries buy 300 pairs, a difference of 30 times.

The same was true after the Ming Dynasty, so at that time, the unit treasure money that needed to be divided was one, two, and five.

Because the technological gap between the outside and the Ming Dynasty is much larger than that between developing countries and developed countries, a few years later, it is not an era distance at all.

Where the best technology has not even appeared in the arquebus, what to fight with the Ming who uses mortars?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that the smiling Han Han next to him had a special thought, he only felt relieved, it was so good to have a master!

"Yichang, do we have to expand the area in our village? There is a mountain in the east, climbing the mountain to play? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to continue to divide the territory, and if he gives it to others, he will give it, but he will not gain anything, at most he will stabilize the hearts of others, and he will not dare to guarantee his loyalty.

It's different for Xiaqiu Village, Xiaqiu Village doesn't mention loyalty, as long as there is a place, it will find a way to use it.

Give them a piece of land, and they immediately use it as a seed base and breeding farm, providing plant seeds and animal seeds for Daming.

Give them a pond, and they will raise all kinds of things, including pufferfish that you can eat casually afterwards without being poisoned.

The things that were given out, the people immediately fed back, and more benefits became those of the palace and the Ming Dynasty, and the village did not need too much cash.

For example......

"Ling'er, what's on your head?" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give the mountain, but without waiting for the chief to respond, he found that a light was dangling from the little girl Ling'er's head.

"Your Majesty the hairpin of the glass." The little girl took out her pocket, took out two iron hairpins, and replaced the hairpins, which were thin and black, and the hairpins had ornaments and were wide.

Zhu Yuanzhang received it in his hand, raised it to take a closer look, and changed the angle: "This is glass?" Why is it so beautiful? ”

He thought it was amazing, and as the angle and light changed, the colors began to change.

"There are many facets, and then there are more refractions and diffractions of light, and it has become what it is now, but it is not as cheap as diamond, which is cheaper and costs a penny, right? It is estimated that there is not a penny. ”

The little girl is not in a hurry, she is not afraid that His Majesty will snatch things away, this is what she learned to do with Brother Hanhan in the laboratory, everyone can do it, it's so simple.

"You can't sell it, you can't sell this technology, let's do it for the people in our palace first, and then let's go and exchange it with the Yi people, God! What the hell? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was fascinated by the row of glass on the hairpin, and he didn't know that the glass was far inferior to the diamond.

He looked at it again and handed it back: "It's good-looking, help us make it in the palace, inlaid on it?" Make more glass like this that can be inlaid. ”

"Okay!" The little girl took it back, pinned it again, pulled out the two small ones, and put them in her pocket.

"What are those two?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked naturally.

"This year, I am going to put it on sale in department stores, iron, black lacquer, cheap, ten pennies, and it can be used for a long time."

Xiao shook his head and took out a few more and put them in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
