After arranging the purchase of gold and silver, Li Wei went to the bank again.

There are still three long queues of people depositing and withdrawing money at the bank gate, and this phenomenon may not disappear in the near future.

He had already checked the accounts when he received the treasure banknote lifting division, and since the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang has printed nearly 50 million treasure banknotes, much more than he expected.

After merging the printing houses of the Banknote and Paper Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, which were originally under the Ministry of Households, into a single banknote printing factory, the current printing speed has increased a lot, but even so, it will take two years to print enough to replace all the 50 million yuan.

Of course, in fact, you don't need to change it all in one go, first change the Jingshi to the same, and then follow the expansion of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce to open the bank too, take your time.

The reason why the people were willing to spend the old banknotes at a discount was mainly because the front row position was held by the magnates, and they were difficult to change the new banknotes, so they could only sell at a discount, and the magnates took this opportunity to buy the old banknotes at a low price, and then exchange them for new banknotes to make the difference.

Now Li Wei's bank is different, they all have to queue up honestly, and the people also have opportunities, as long as they see hope, they are naturally unwilling to spend old money at a discount.

When Li Wei came to the door of the bank, he saw that these people were waiting in line, while listening to the officials sent by Zhu Yuanzhang explaining the edict.

In fact, they already know about it, since the "horse beating" incident occurred, Li Wei's deeds have been widely disseminated, and it didn't take long for it to spread all over the streets and alleys.

The enthusiasm of the people of Daming to eat melons is no worse than that of later generations of netizens, and they will naturally not let go of this kind of royal anecdote.

In addition to the edict preached by the clerk at the door of the bank, there was also a man appointed by the bank to explain how to identify the authenticity of the treasure banknote.

In fact, it's very simple, don't say anything about ink watermarks, even if you just look at the paper, you can easily distinguish the authenticity, and the current papermaking technology can not imitate his kind of paper.

When Li Wei passed by the crowd, someone in the crowd suddenly noticed him, the horse master who lost money three times and was finally beaten.

"Hey, isn't this the horse who was beaten?"

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

"What was going on? I came later, I didn't see it, you can tell me about it! ”

"At that time......

The people in the crowd whispered, and after Li Wei heard it, he paused, frowned and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The whispering stopped for a moment, and the audience was silent, and the people looked at him innocently.

Li Weihu glanced suspiciously, but found no one, so he turned his head and continued walking.

"At that time, as soon as this horse master finished acting, the people sent by His Majesty arrived......"

"Huh?"

Li Wei turned his head violently, and the voices in the crowd disappeared again, only the innocent eyes of the people stared at him.

After watching it for a while, he still couldn't find who was gossiping about him behind his back, so he could only continue walking.

"And then ......"

"Huh?"

Li Weisan turned around, his voice disappeared, and the eyes of the people were innocent.

Li Wei: "......"

After a moment of silence, Li Wei turned around and entered the bank without looking back.

"How can this be reasonable, I worked hard to show them the popular law, and they even watched me laugh!"

Li Wei complained to Shen Jing and the others in the back hall, and Shen Jing and the others couldn't hold back and didn't dare to laugh.

After he finished complaining, Shen Jing persuaded loudly:

"Lord Li, the people have no malice, they just like to gossip, in fact, they are not laughing, and they all praise you for being a good horse!"

Shen Jing is telling the truth, there are many smart people among these ordinary people, although Li Wei's performance is exaggerated, but many people also understand his intentions, and while eating melons, they don't forget to praise him for two good sentences.

When Li Wei heard this, his face improved slightly, he sighed, and sat down to inquire about the bank.

"How is the bank doing, is there any situation?"

"Oh, it's nothing else, it's just that there are more people who exchange new banknotes now, and some people have a relatively large amount of money deposited and withdrawn, and our new banknotes are consumed quickly, and some are not enough."

Shen Jing said softly.

Li Wei frowned slightly after hearing this, this situation is inevitable, the powerful and powerful of the Beijing division are gathered, and the margin of the old treasure banknotes is very fixed and large, at least more than 10 million, even if he sets the rule that the new banknotes can only be taken the next day, he can't keep up with the speed of reversing.

"In this way, from now on, all those with an amount of more than 10 yuan will be able to withdraw new banknotes after seven days, and one month for more than 100 yuan, just so that they can experience the benefits of deposit interest."

Li Wei pondered for a while and ordered, his request was not too much, even if he made a large withdrawal in the later life, he had to make an appointment in advance, let alone in ancient times.

And nowadays people are not used to depositing money, and it is practical to take money in their own hands, and now for so many days, there are few people who really save money.

In addition, this can also prevent those wealthy businessmen from pouring money in large amounts, so that more ordinary people can get new money first.

When Shen Jing heard this, he also felt that this idea was good, so he nodded and agreed.

"In addition, I will transfer a batch of new banknotes from the banknote printing factory, and you will have people count the old banknotes, and I will directly let them take them away and destroy them when the time comes."

Treasure banknotes are not printed casually, now the old banknotes are exchanged for new banknotes one by one, and new money is not printed out of thin air, and when the court has no money in the future, it will print money for itself in the form of issuing bonds, of course, it must be controlled.

Shen Jing wrote down his orders one by one, and Li Wei thought about it again and felt that there was nothing else to do, so he got up and left.

……

With the issuance of the new banknotes, the price of the treasure banknotes increased significantly, and the people who got the new banknotes were naturally happy, but the rich merchants and magnates who hoarded gold and silver, and the merchants who refused to accept the treasure banknotes, suffered a lot.

The treasure banknote has risen from the position of more than 100 wen all the way back to the original 1,000 wen, and the new banknote is comparable to gold, and in contrast, their gold and silver have depreciated sharply, which makes these people anxious.

In the Shen family's mansion, Shen Bin waited anxiously.

Since he was cheated by Li Wei, he has been honest, and he doesn't dare to think about revenge, and he can't take care of that little money now.

When their Shen family was at its most brilliant, their family wealth exceeded 10 million, although they later sponsored 6 million to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the family property was directly reduced by half, but after so many years of recuperation, it has recovered a lot.

After his father Shen Rong and eldest brother Shen Sen died one after another, he took away most of the family property by bullying the small, and now he has a net worth of at least five million.
