Chapter 111 Printing treasure money indiscriminately is sucking the blood of the people!
There is a way that wealth touches people's hearts.
There is no external constraint, it is all pressed by credibility and ancestral graves.
The boss behind Jiaozi Qianzhuang did not run away with money at the peak of Qianzhuang.
It is already a moral model for the feudal period.
After listening to the development history of Jiaozi, Zhu Fan couldn't help frowning.
"Sir, since the value of the Jiaozi currency will also fall, then why should I make any reserves for the treasure banknote."
"It's better to wait for him to continue to depreciate, and finally return to gold, silver and copper coins... Oh, sir, why are you hitting me? ”
Before Zhu Zhang's words were finished, his head was firm and he was slapped by Lin Che.
Lin Che was directly annoyed by this rotten goods.
"Fortunately, you kid, you are not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the common people will suffer a big crime!"
Zhu Zhang's blank face instantly became difficult to look at after listening to the second half of the sentence.
I don't know where this edict is, there are people arranged by my father who are listening, and this can't be said casually.
Zhu Fan has learned the previous lesson, and he is much more honest.
He hurriedly asked:
"Where did we say something wrong, please ask Mr. for advice!"
"Even you think the treasure banknote is depreciating too fast!"
"Do you think that those ordinary people who work hard and earn one or two a year will not become more and more difficult in life?"
Lin Che sneered and questioned Zhu Zhang.
No matter what era the common people are, they will not spend their money indiscriminately.
Instead, they will save for future big things or emergencies.
However, the value of the banknotes kept falling.
The part of the wealth that disappeared went into the pockets of the imperial court.
Most of the people who have suffered losses can only consider themselves unlucky.
After Zhu Fan was educated by Lin Che, he also knew that his idea just now was not considered.
But he was still puzzled and asked:
"But... However, the trend of depreciation of treasure banknotes cannot be stopped. ”
"Sir, even if the imperial court has the heart to stabilize the value of the currency, it can't take out so much security!"
Lin Che understood Zhu Zhang's true thoughts.
The anger in my heart disappeared a lot for a while.
At least this kid doesn't treat the common people as leeks.
It was because the imperial court had no money, so the idea of depreciating the treasure banknote was born.
However, Lin Che still snorted and said:
"If there is no reserve to ensure the value of the treasure banknote, it is to loot the hard-earned money earned by the common people with their lives!"
"Moreover, do you think that when the imperial court issued treasure banknotes, there was really no reserve of equivalent value?"
Zhu Fan was directly confused.
He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, does he have any reserves for his treasure money, can he still be unclear?
Lin Che didn't go around in circles.
He quickly explained to himself:
"Today's Emperor Hongwu, at the beginning, the reserve of the imperial court's treasure banknotes is the personal prestige and credibility of Emperor Hongwu."
"With the issuance of treasure banknotes, the reserve of treasure banknotes is the trust of the people in the imperial court, and it is the national glory of my Ming Dynasty!"
Speaking of this, Lin Che suddenly laughed inexplicably.
"You think, when the treasure money depreciates to the point that it can't be circulated."
"What my Ming court has lost is just a tool to collect money at no cost?"
At this time, Zhu Fan finally realized the serious consequences of the treasure money problem.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
In this sentence, Zhu Fan has been enlightened from childhood to the present.
I have already heard my father and the Confucian scholars in the university hall speak countless times.
It was precisely because of the expulsion of the Mengyuan Tatar slaves that my father restored the Han dynasty in China.
Therefore, the world returned to the heart and sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five.
On the other hand, if it loses the hearts of the people.
The old Zhu family's Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sit firmly!
Zhu Fan's face was solemn.
There is such a big crisis lurking inside.
Thereupon.
Zhu Fan bowed to Lin Che again and asked:
"Please also ask the teacher to teach me how to avoid the depreciation of the treasure banknote."
"This brings us to the way the treasure money is issued!"
Lin Che didn't have the slightest idea of hiding his own selfish thoughts because of Zhu Zhang's wrong thoughts.
He pointed out the third question about the treasure banknote:
"Due to the non-standard design of the treasure money system, the emperor can print as much as he wants."
"When it is used to reward the ministers, or to give alms to the people, the amount is as much as you like."
"In just six years of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu rewarded his ministers with 70 million yuan in treasure money, but the tax revenue of the imperial court that year was only about 30 million."
It can only be said that fortunately, Daming's plate is big enough.
Although the development of industry and commerce was not comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous in the past dynasties.
Otherwise.
These 70 million treasure notes flowed into the market.
In any small country, I am afraid that prices will rise to the sky.
"I see, sir, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will... I will let my father talk about this matter to the current emperor! ”
"From now on, the amount of treasure money issued must be strictly controlled!"
After Zhu Fan heard this, he planned to report the matter immediately when he saw his father and queen to show vigilance.
"The problem of treasure money is not only that."
Lin Che motioned to Zhu Fan not to get excited.
Then he slowly said the last question that affects the value of the treasure banknote.
"Do you think that today's treasure banknotes are all printed by the imperial court?"
"What?"
Zhu Fan was taken aback.
Then he said angrily:
"Sir, you said that there are still people in Daming who privately print treasure money? Aren't they afraid of being exterminated by the Nine Clans? ”
It's not okay to grab money from the imperial court!
Never allowed!
Zhu Fan felt that this was a big deal, and if he caught the privately printed treasure money, he would have to destroy his nine clans to set an example.
"Don't kill at every turn."
"Today's emperor has not killed the corrupt officials in the world, can you still kill the counterfeit money dealers in the world?"
Lin Che glanced at the other party.
The correct answer was given directly.
"To solve the problem of counterfeiting of treasure money, the most important thing is to improve the means of anti-counterfeiting."
"For example, use special paper and ink, and then add watermarks on the treasure banknotes that even illiterate people can distinguish the authenticity of, as well as what concave and convex dark lines, anti-counterfeiting secret words or something, all that can be used!"
"Only by greatly increasing the production cost of treasure banknotes, supplemented by strict laws, can the appearance of counterfeit treasure money be reduced!"
The way to curb counterfeiting in later generations is to increase the production cost of genuine coins.
Then control the raw materials.
The number of counterfeit coins is always kept within an acceptable range.
Although it is still impossible to prevent the appearance of counterfeit banknotes.
But for the Ming Dynasty in the feudal period.
This approach is sufficient.
"I have written down all the teachings of the gentleman!"
After listening to Lin Che, Zhu Fan talked about the means of anti-counterfeiting and the skills of detecting counterfeit banknotes.
I took it seriously and saluted.
Lin Che smiled nonchalantly.
"There is still a fundamental problem that is not solved, and the treasure money will inevitably continue to be inflationary."
"Still have questions?"
Zhu Fan was numb.
The four major problems in front, even if Lin Che gave solutions to three problems.
Zhu Fan still has a feeling of not knowing where to start.
Now I hear that there is a fundamental problem with treasure money.
He wanted to put it on the spurt, and persuaded his father to take the initiative to detonate the thunder of the treasure banknote.
