"Bao Chao is the official currency of Daning. Can't it be spent?"

"Come to me if you don't accept treasure money!"

Guan Ning looked sulky, he had actually wanted to beat him up for a long time.

Since the issuance of treasure banknotes, the audience has not been very wide. Guan Ning was prepared for this. In order to promote it, he changed the salaries given to officials into treasure banknotes.

There's nothing wrong with that.

His Daning treasure banknote is not a Ming Dynasty treasure banknote. The latter is worthless and is a piece of waste paper.

And Daning Baochao is real money!

The officials were unwilling and remonstrated with him more than once. They also mentioned to him in a vague way that treasure notes were naturally not as valuable as silver coins, especially silver coins that could be blown.

But is this something they consider?

Even the court officials do not support the government and the treasure banknotes, how can those merchants dare to use them?

"A habitual problem!"

Guan Ning said: "Is the salary from the previous dynasty as timely as it is now? Is it as generous as it is now?"

Everyone nodded, saying that there was nothing to say in this regard, and no one could find fault with it.

The salaries of officials in the previous dynasty were very thin, and there was also the problem of losing property.

If the rice grain is valuable, I will not give you rice, but I will give you silk. Anyway, I will pick up the worthless ones and give them to you.

The imperial court also has reasons to do this. Aren’t you greedy for the expense in collecting taxes?

Over time, a secret rule was formed.

The salaries issued by the imperial court were getting smaller and smaller, and corruption was increasing.

This situation cannot all be blamed on officials. Officials are also human beings and have a family to support, so they naturally need money.

If you can't make money, you can only be greedy.

Guan Ning had known about this problem for a long time and raised officials' salaries during the administrative reform.

Salaries are paid in real money, and pensions are also set up so that officials can still have a living security after resigning from their posts and retiring.

At first, many scholars boycotted the New Deal and refused to take exams, but they never persisted because this treatment was irresistible.

In the past, officials were able to commit corruption justifiably.

So what reason do you have for corruption now?

If this happens again, don't blame me for confiscating the family, exterminating the family, peeling off the skin and removing the grass.

Yuanwu is seven years old.

The salary of officials has been improved and corruption has been reduced, but new problems have emerged.

There are also people who are dawdling around due to lazy government and inaction. They gradually become dissatisfied and want to seek better things.

If you can’t give me treasure money, I need silver dollars!

Guan Ning said coldly: "Nobles like Yang Jing want to comply with the imperial court and share my worries, but these officials who eat the royal food are poaching me all day long!"

"Publish what I have said. Anyone who cannot spend the treasure money can come to me, and anyone who wants to exchange it for silver coins can come to me!"

"Receive the Holy Will!"

Zhao Nanxing and others responded in unison.

Originally thinking of not getting angry, Guan Ning felt that his temper was much better than when the new dynasty was first established, but he still couldn't hold it back.

If these guys don't knock for a day, something will happen.

"Move on to the next item."

Xue Qing said again: "Silver dollars are so popular that they have been used beyond their quota. Some people use them as two taels of silver. In fact, 90% of silver is already very high. It doesn't matter if it is reduced by 10%."

He still raised the issue of silver dollars.

To be honest, 10% of the energy consumption is indeed a bit too low. With the craftsmanship quality of the silver dollar, even 70% of the silver is fully acceptable and can be used for one or two purposes.

In this way, the fire consumption is 30%, and more silver coins can be minted.

What can't you do with all this firepower?

Xue Qing is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he naturally hopes that Daning will have more and more money. This is also his inherent thinking.

Because there has never been such a low fire consumption of silver before.

"No, no more discounts!"

Guan Ning refused directly.

"Daning coins must be of sufficient quantity and quality. This is the greatest guarantee for maintaining their value. I know that due to the meticulousness of the cards, the progress of minting is also slow. If it is slow, take your time. The monetary policy we have formulated ourselves cannot be destroyed by ourselves.

"

"Receive the Holy Will."

Xue Qing just made a suggestion. If His Majesty doesn't agree, forget it.

"The cabinet has issued a policy on how to deal with Wei merchants. It was published in the Daning official newspaper and posted on the yellow list, but it immediately aroused opposition from Wei merchants."

Han Wengui, director of the Commerce Department, said: "This morning, many Wei businessmen went to surround the Commerce Department, and many local businessmen also participated."

The policy against Wei Shang that the DPRK agreed upon a few days ago is indeed harsh.

It will start fermenting in the next few days.

"Are many Wei merchants coming to Daning?"

"many!"

Han Wengui said: "I didn't know there were so many before. Moreover, after hearing about the imperial court's policy towards Wei merchants, many Wei merchants came to Beijing to protest, saying that this move would sever diplomatic relations between the two countries, affect the trade between the two countries, and destroy

relations between the two countries."

"They also requested that Daning should not increase tariffs, but should reduce or reduce them like Wei, let alone restrict trade..."

Han Wengui worked hard and learned a lot about the situation.

He had the opportunity to attend the court meeting just to report this matter.

"I heard that Wei merchants also formed the Hongchang Chamber of Commerce?"

Xue Qing turned to Han Angui and asked, "Is this true?"

"yes!"

Han Angui said: "The Hongchang Chamber of Commerce was established by Wei merchants in Daning, and also attracted some local businessmen. However, the president of this chamber of commerce has never shown up. I just heard that his surname is Teng, and he is called Teng.

Shopkeeper."

"There is a branch of the Hongchang Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, and the person in charge is the vice president named Tao Lifu!"

"Wei merchants were mostly active in the Jianghuai area, but now they are all going to Beijing and the northern region. It is very abnormal."

Talking about this.

Everyone's expressions became more solemn.

From this situation, it seems that the Wei merchants were not just doing business, but probably had other purposes.

"Money is the best weapon!"

Han Angui continued: "Wei merchants brought a lot of money to Daning and brought a large demand for goods. It is normal for our merchants to pursue them. The outside world calls the policy against Wei merchants a business restriction order!"

"His heart is to be killed!"

Gong Liangyu spit out four words.

Originally it was only targeted at Wei merchants, but it can be called a business restriction order, which has a wider scope.

It seems that His Majesty also wants to restrict businessmen from this country.

Everyone was silent, everyone knew what this meant.

Due to previous government decrees such as the imposition of commercial taxes, merchants were quite dissatisfied with His Majesty and had great resentment.

I believe that His Majesty does not give businessmen a way to survive or a job, and now he has caused the conflict to intensify, which is extremely detrimental to His Majesty's reputation.

But they can only see what's in front of them, not what's behind them.

The imperial court levied commercial taxes, established a Commerce Department, and formulated a number of regulatory policies, which seemed to be more stringent than before.

But in the long run, the business environment has improved, the situation of one dominant company and monopoly has been improved, the market environment has become better, more complete and fair, giving more opportunities to small traders, creating a situation where businesses are flourishing everywhere.

Guan Ning protects the interests of the majority, not the minority.

Why does he issue treasure banknotes? Is it not to promote the circulation of money and materials and to develop commerce and trade?

Thinking like this.

Guan Ning said coldly: "The trade restriction order is a trade restriction order. You can call it whatever you want. I am not afraid of notoriety!"
