Chapter 102, the first step in the establishment of the First Bank of Daming!
No wonder everyone was in an uproar.
It's really Zhu Yuanzhang's treasure money that is too powerful.
Although it is said that the current people have not experienced the Hongwu Yongle era.
However, a series of recent worship behaviors, especially the feudal king's desire to collect treasure money and burn it in front of the Taizu Mausoleum, have led to the topic of treasure money, which vaguely counters the popularity of a separate cabinet.
Anyway, others don't know, Zheng Ji paid attention to this treasure banknote from the beginning, and saw that the original worthless treasure banknote was stunned, and the price rose to the current exaggerated fifty or sixty taels of silver and ten thousand yuan.
In addition, they have recently exchanged interests, and they still need a vote from the vassal king's side.
Because of Zhu Houzhao's release of guard restrictions, these vassal kings also stimulated a wave of rising prices of treasure banknotes.
In short, during this time, their own families were more or less involved in the purchase and sale of treasure money.
This has led to a deeper understanding of the historical context and influence of treasure banknotes.
Zhu Youqi, no...... Now Zhu Houzhao even wants to completely spread out the treasure money in Jinling, which makes some people feel stressed, don't Zhu Houzhao use the treasure money to give them money, right?
And, putting aside the previous factors......
Treasure banknotes replaced silver and copper plates as temporary currency.
It can be understood that the use of dark coins instead of money to circulate in Jinling is more or less underworld.
My Great Jinling has just been promoted to the imperial capital, and it is not promoted to the capital of Xu!
Also, it can be canceled after seven days of use...... Zhu Houzhao engaged in this temporary cabinet and temporary treasure money, isn't he addicted?
In the face of everyone's uproar and subconscious opposition, Zhu Youqi was not surprised, and Zhu Houzhao also watched calmly from the sidelines.
This is to be expected.
And their anomaly quickly made the officials who subconsciously opposed it react.
Are they against?
Can they object?
Do you want to join the cabinet?
Everyone came to their senses all of a sudden, and then realized that His Majesty and the President were probably waiting for them here.
Whoever opposes it will probably be the first to lose his eligibility.
And once they lose their qualifications to run for election, some of the benefits they have given out with great difficulty will also be lost.
Co-authors, all of this is waiting for them here.
Some people quickly quieted down, and looked directly at Lin Han, this kind of court push, is it not in accordance with the rules?
"Your Majesty......"
"It's okay to use treasure money, but what exactly do you want to use it for?"
Under the signal of everyone, Lin Han also spoke hard, and looked directly at Zhu Houzhao, which was also said at a very high level, in favor, but he needed to come up with a reason.
"You should discuss this detail first, and since it is a proposal made by the president, you should discuss it with the president. I think it's a good form. ”
Zhu Houzhao directly pushed Xingwang out again, and at the same time appropriately expressed his approval of this plan.
Don't sing duets here!
Everyone couldn't help but complain.
"President, Lord Lin's question is reasonable...... What are we going to use it for? Furthermore...... The old man has calculated here, and our household department currently only has one million treasure banknotes, if it is used by the whole city of Jinling, I am afraid it will not be enough. Also, how exactly is it used? Will it return to the way it was during the Hongwu Yongle period? ”
Zheng Ji couldn't help but speak, this calmed down, and they found that maybe in the use path, it could be optimized.
The current treasure banknotes are valuable, and if they are really used for seven days, they will not be affected.
On the contrary, it may give benefits to the people.
"That's right...... President, and Your Majesty...... It's a good method. But at present, as far as I know, there are not so many treasure notes on the market, and even if there are, there seem to be many fake treasure notes. And then there is the one who is accustomed to using silver and copper coins, and treasure money, unless they are given free of charge, if they are really forced to exchange silver money for treasure money...... This is a bit bad, maybe the reputation of the president and the reputation of our people will ......" Zhu Fu also continued to ask.
The elimination of treasure banknotes has become a historical necessity, and it wants to regain its original status.
Unless the official order is really compulsory, but this kind of coercive order will inevitably lead to a lot of scolding.
Zhu Houzhao's hard-won favor of the people of Jinling may be lost all of a sudden.
The matter given by Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youqi is not an ordinary difficult thing to do.
Thinking of this, everyone felt their scalps tingle, not to mention...... Everyone has more or less some industries, businesses, and money banks, and if this thing is carried out, everyone subconsciously feels that they are going to suffer a loss, a big loss.
"Specific Statutes...... Everyone can discuss. ”
In the face of everyone's distrust and normal doubts, Zhu Youqi was not afraid, but controlled the field accurately: "In short, this is just a temporary activity!" We must do it, neither disturb the people, nor let the people suffer, if they can use the treasure money willingly, it will be better. ”
"I also know that this matter is a bit difficult to do, so ...... I called everyone here and worked together, and we should be able to find a solution that everyone is satisfied with! ”
"I agree with the president's proposal, this is not a disturbance to the people, but a move to benefit the people! After all, with the people, Taizu definitely didn't want to see me disturb the people because of this. I can solve the problem of treasure money here...... I offer 10 million treasure money! At the same time, the household department took out 10,000 stone of grain and bound it to the treasure banknote. At that time, if you don't use treasure money, you can also exchange treasure money for food. ”
Zhu Houzhao also came up with a method for the application of treasure banknotes in a timely manner.
"So, Zheng Ji, the household department took out 10,000 stone of grain to spend on Taizu's death, no problem, right? I remember that Uncle Wang's vassal king was only 10,000 stone a year. ”
10,000 stone of grain, that's 1.2 million catties!
Converted into silver, it is about 30,000 taels of silver.
Zheng Ji quickly calculated, this is about two days of food consumption by the people of Jinling.
At the same time, 10 million treasure banknotes are bound to 30,000 taels of silver, which means that Zhu Houzhao directly anchors the exchange rate: one tael of silver can be exchanged for 330 treasure banknotes.
At present, the price of treasure money collected by the vassal king is: one tael of silver is exchanged for two hundred treasure banknotes.
The people only need to buy 330 treasure bills with one tael of silver, and then sell them to the vassal king for 200 taels of silver...... You can make more than a tael of silver!
If you don't exchange silver, you can exchange about ten pounds of silver for a pound of grain.
"Your Majesty, the household can take it out...... It's just that the treasure money is exchanged for food, and these treasure money are really issued to the people? Really have fun with the people? ”
Zheng Ji didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao and they really had a way, which was acceptable, and there was no doubt that the treasure money would definitely be robbed madly!
"That's nature! I don't want to be called a faint king, but I don't want to be scolded by the people, and sacrificing with the people can also be called having fun with the people. Zhu Hou set the tone.
"In this way, can you really use the treasure money?"
Zhu Fu couldn't help but think about it, if they operate it well, it seems that they can also get tens of thousands of catties of grain for nothing.
"If you do it like this, it seems to work!"
The people here were a little surprised, and they were all ready to be stabbed, how could they have thought that it seemed that the emperor was sending benefits?
"How is that going to be sent to the people?"
"What are the people going to do?"
However, there are also officials who are not sensitive to the economy, and Liu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, feels a little sore in his brain, and he doesn't understand what is in it, but he feels that it is a huge project to send 10 million treasure notes.
"It's up to everyone to figure out how to do it......"
"My advice here is...... When the people get our money, they can use it with silver and copper coins. Meantime...... In order to prevent everyone from not using it, it is necessary for some people from various ministries to supervise the shops of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple......"
Zhu Youqi continued: "There are still ...... The current treasure money is also worth some silver. ”
"In order not to be interrupted by the people, this president suggests...... During the event, the banks will stop exchanging money and will be closed for seven days. ”
"We invited the shopkeepers and men of these money banks together to form the first bank of the Ming Dynasty, and they specially issued treasure money for us, and accepted the people to temporarily exchange silver and copper coins for treasure money."
"The price is set by His Majesty, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for three hundred and thirty treasure bills! Each person is limited to five taels of silver! ”
"After the worship is over, the people can also exchange the money with treasure money!"
Zhu Youqi can be regarded as a dagger in the poor, and took the first step in the establishment of Daming Bank.
