Chapter 262 Unified weights and measures, opened a money bank

After the previous series of greetings, Yuan Zhi began to cut to the point, and finally expressed his own proposition, the purpose and guiding opinions of the cooperation between the two sides.

"The king is in charge, the little shopkeeper, the prince has been in power since the prison country, he has carried out strict reforms, wholeheartedly launched new policies, focused on discovering the economy and people's livelihood, and invigorated circulation, the purpose is to strengthen the country and enrich the people. "

"Ouch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, we Jinshang Eight listen to you, Your Highness, please just speak."

Wang Zhong may be used to being the boss and likes to interject and express his stance indiscriminately.

Yuan Zhi was more tolerant of merchants, and he nodded slightly at Wang Zhong and continued:

"The core of the new policy is to 'supervise the private sector and run it jointly' as the main body, and at the same time encourage private capital to set up entities in the form of sole proprietorship or joint ventures, and the imperial court will give full support in terms of taxation, land use and road construction."

"To invigorate the economy and invigorate commercial circulation, we must first solve the problems of storage, convenience and security in the process of coin and material transactions, that is, to set up money banks nationwide and issue ticket numbers in a unified manner."

"Gu proposed to let the household department set up a central royal bank, unified weights and measures, unified issuance of new coins, the issuance of loan bills and non-local acceptable silver bills, and the eight major Jin merchants will set up local money banks throughout the country and even outside the country in the future."

Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and interjected to ask: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the official supervision and private office, and the joint office of the government and the people?" ”

At the moment, this is indeed a completely new concept, since we want to cooperate, of course Wang Zhong has to figure it out and figure it out.

Xu Xinchun and Zheng Shaoqiu invariably glanced at Wang Zhong with their eyes, meaning that they always interrupted the prince's speech, impoliteness is a trivial matter, and a big disrespect is serious.

The young master Wang Pu was also very nervous, and he quietly pulled the corner of his father Wang Zhong's clothes to remind him.

In fact, as soon as Wang Zhong said it, he himself regretted it a little, but it became natural for him to get used to it, and it was too late to regret it, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"The shopkeeper Wang asked well, if you don't understand, just ask, on this occasion today, there is no distinction between the primary and the secondary, let's discuss the problem together, and leave only after you understand it thoroughly, please don't have any worries, okay?"

Unexpectedly, the prince was not angry, he was surprisingly patient, and he seemed very frank and sincere.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your leniency." Wang Zhong stood up excitedly and saluted.

Yuan Zhi waved his hand to sign for a seat, and then began to explain again.

"The so-called official supervision and private administration refers to a certain investment project, whether it is a factory, a workshop, or a commercial bank, which can be listed by the imperial court or the local state government yamen and stationed representatives, but does not interfere with the operation and management of the enterprise, does not participate in the distribution of profits, and only escorts the enterprise."

"And the joint office of the government and the people, this is easy to understand, that is, the imperial court or the local yamen and the private sector jointly invest in an enterprise, and the operation and management and profit distribution are distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution."

"These are only general definitions or explanations, and the specific rules will be issued by the Privy Council at that time, and will be promulgated in the form of decrees."

When the Wang father and son heard the eldest son's explanation, they basically had a certain concept in their minds, they looked at each other and nodded yes.

"May I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are the strict regulations for the new coins introduced by the New Deal, the exchange relationship and proportion with the old coins, and in addition, can gold and silver still circulate in the market? Is there a dual system? ”

This question was raised by the young lord Wang Pu.

"The young shopkeeper asked a good question."

Yuan Zhi continued to smile when he heard this, "After the unified weights and measures in the territory of the final Jin Dynasty and the introduction of new coins, it is strictly forbidden to circulate old coins and gold and silver in the market, and violators will be severely punished, confiscated, imprisoned or killed. ”

"Of course, there is a transitional period between the old and the new, and old coins or gold and silver can be exchanged at the Central Royal Bank, or other designated banks, and the specific exchange ratio will be subject to the announcement of the Privy Council at that time."

Wang's father and son's faces changed when they heard this.

Insiders can see that the introduction of new currencies and the strict prohibition of gold and silver circulation are actually disguised as "killing the rich and helping the poor", or "slaughtering pigs".

According to later economic theories, this is called "social wealth redistribution." "And it's predatory.

Through the exchange ratio of old and new coins, the imperial court greatly depreciated the old currency, and a considerable part of the wealth naturally flowed into the imperial treasury.

Of course, instead of harming, low-level civilians are also beneficiaries.

And the real losses are those wealthy and wealthy businessmen.

This is a big killer move of the new policy of the prince of the prison country, and the core lies in it.

Of course, the new deal will inevitably offend the vast majority of wealthy nobles and aristocrats, and the difficulty in the implementation process can be imagined.

Taking away people's money is undoubtedly killing parents.

Those elites will definitely gather together to wait for an opportunity to rebel, and if it is not done well, the new policy will encounter the danger of subversion.

Yuan Zhi was obviously prepared, and he had repeatedly deduced.

Therefore, he suddenly ordered Guo Wei to temporarily abandon the attack on the Western Turks and turn to peace negotiations.

This is the intention of the country, to increase the national strength first.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

And Yuan Zhi promoted this series of new policies, he must set an example, that is, the supporter and partner of the new policy of the imperial court.

His eyes were fixed on the eight families of Jin Shang.

The Wang father and son exchanged opinions in the local language, and finally nodded to the prince to express their support.

As the supporters of the New Deal, partners, they were undoubtedly the first to eat crabs.

Of course, if they can cooperate with the prince of the prison state, they will not suffer a loss, and they will get the imperial court

This is enough to make up for the loss in the promotion of new coins.

Thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand, with the prince of the prison country as the backer of the eight families of the Jin and Shang families, what obstacles will there be in the business journey in the future?

On the contrary, if he offended the current prince of the prison country, the tragic fate of his fate can be imagined.

After all, the current situation is a feudal dynasty dominated by power politics and monarchical ideology.

The prince's speech received the expected results, and the two sides became very harmonious in the following mutual exchanges.

In the next step, the Privy Council can negotiate specific cooperation projects with the eight Jin businessmen and sign a number of cooperation agreements.

Before you know it, it's evening.

The Crown Prince was delighted and prepared to attend the welcome banquet to be held by the Privy Council in person.

But as soon as he walked to the gate, he was stopped by Gao Jin, who was already waiting at the door.

"Your Highness, Funing Palace sent someone over to pass on the queen's decree and ask the prince to come over and speak." Gao Jin whispered in a low voice.

"Don't you see that Lone is really busy?" Yuan Zhi frowned and said displeasedly.

"The old man said, but the queen seemed to be very angry, and sent someone over, this time it was the chief female officer Biyu, and she also released cruel words, if the prince did not obey Yi's order, he would kill Biyu with a cane."

"This..."

Yuan Zhi's face changed instantly.

The words 'vexatious' in the back had reached his throat and were forcibly swallowed by him.
