Chapter 1812 Free is the most expensive
There was silence in the hall.
The Ministry of Household Affairs will send people to visit the people every day, and public opinions and business conditions will be summarized and finally discussed in front of the Holy Spirit.
They all know what Li Chunjing said clearly, and this is the case in Wangjing, the capital of the country.
There is a Tianxiang Pavilion in the city, which is the most prosperous place for fireworks in the Wei Kingdom. If you drag a girl out at will and go to other places, she will be like an oiran.
If you want to be his guest and drink with him, you will need at least dozens of taels of silver, which is known as the Golden Cave.
Now, you only need ten taels of silver to stay there overnight...but Tianxiang Pavilion is deserted.
This is the current situation!
Obviously prices are rising, but people are going hungry because they can't afford food. Isn't this normal?
But now that prices have dropped and everyone can afford it, there is still no improvement?
This made them confused.
Li Chunjing was already well versed in financial affairs. He had advised and made suggestions early on not to over-issue the Great Wei Treasure Notes and anticipated the consequences, which is why he was able to sit in this position.
Who would have thought that such a situation would happen again.
What he wants to say most right now should be this.
It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing rapidly.
"Think about it, why is this happening?"
Himekawa said helplessly: "It's wrong to have a high price, and it's wrong to have a low price. How can we return to normal..."
"What Mr. Li said is not complete, right?"
At this time, Prince Ji Jingshuo asked: "You haven't said anything about the silver dollar yet."
Li Chunjing was slightly startled. It was not that he was negligent, but that he did not dare to say too much.
Your Majesty seems to be suffering from a disease that causes you to fall ill as soon as the word Yuanwu is mentioned, even if it is related to these two words.
"This is Emperor Yuanwu's conspiracy!"
Himekawa gritted his teeth and exuded a violent aura.
"What happened to the Great Wei Silver Dollar that I asked you to imitate? Has it been distributed among the people?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Great Wei Silver Dollar has been produced. It is not as good as the Yuanwu Silver Dollar in terms of craftsmanship and exquisiteness... but it is of sufficient quality. It has been exiled among the people. The Ministry of Household Affairs opened the Yamen to attract people to exchange it, but... no one
Buy it."
Li Chunjing was in a depressed mood.
They are both money and silver, but the silver coins with the word "Yuan Wu" printed on them are wildly sought after, and no one buys the ones made by ourselves.
Jichuan, a big imitator, imitated the silver coins after imitating the Dawei Baoguan.
Paper money is too weak, silver is always right.
But the reality is cruel!
Ji Chuan felt a deep sense of frustration, and thousands of words were turned into one sentence. This was Emperor Yuanwu's conspiracy...
The imperial court released the accumulated silver, and the silver depreciated and became worthless like the Great Wei Baoguan. At this time, people who had a large amount of silver panicked and spent a lot of money to exchange for silver coins that could maintain their value.
Even the common people are like this. They would rather use Daning silver coins than silver dollars. Vendors only accept silver coins, not broken silver... If you want to spend money, you need to exchange it with Daning.
Ji Jingshuo thought about this process.
As a result, the imperial court quickly imitated silver coins, which were also made of silver, but no one was willing to buy them...
They would rather exchange Daning's money for a few taels more than use Wei's money.
All the money of Wei State flows to Daning, and the money of Wei State becomes less and less?
Why didn't they use Wei's money instead of Daning's?
Ji Jingshuo seems to have caught something?
It seems like I didn't catch it.
"Actually the reason is very simple..."
At the same time, Qian Dafu smiled at the people around him and said: "You must understand that pie will not fall in the sky. Your Majesty once said that free is the most expensive..."
"Where does the value of treasure money come from? It is not a piece of paper, it represents the national strength and credibility of a country!"
Qian Dafu took out a treasure note while speaking.
The treasure banknotes that have been revised several times already look quite exquisite, but there is one sentence on it that has not changed. Anyone who prints or forges privately will be punished by the Ten Clan.
Of course it is anti-counterfeiting, but it is not as powerful as this sentence, and the word Yuanwu printed on it is quite conspicuous.
At the same time, he took out a Great Wei Treasure Coupon, which can be seen everywhere. Some people joked that when they walked on the streets of Wei State, they picked up a Great Wei Treasure Coupon instead of pebbles.
After all, it is extremely rough. It is made of the thickest hemp paper. You can still see the strips of tree fibers. Of course, it also has the conspicuous word "Jianwu" on it.
In the later period, in order to print treasure coupons, the workmanship became more and more rough, and in order to save costs, the materials used became worse and worse, so there was such a big Wei treasure coupon.
"What do you think is the difference between these two banknotes?"
Qian Dafu looked at the young people in front of him.
They are all newcomers who have graduated from Chinese studies and come to Daning Bank. They have just been sent to Wei State for training...
"One is paper and the other is money."
"Because... Yuanwu and Jianwu are two characters."
Everyone gave an answer.
Qian Dafu said: "Why does it represent the credibility of the country? It is because the people believe that this piece of paper can be used for money, so they buy it."
"And the uncontrolled printing and issuance makes more money on the market, and more money is needed to buy the same thing. The value of banknotes depreciates, and the price of things increases!"
"When Your Majesty knew that the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty began to imitate Daning in issuing banknotes, His Majesty had already thought of the result. The indiscriminate issuance of banknotes would allow the country to gain a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. It is not as rare as silver, nor as hard to find as copper mines.
If you make money too quickly, you will become addicted."
Qian Dafu said in a low voice: "But this kind of obtaining wealth is actually using paper money as a tool to cut flesh from the people and draw blood from the people. A large amount of wealth can be obtained in a short period of time, but it is actually the court and the country that are harmed.
Credibility!"
He threw the Da Wei Baoguan in his hand to the ground.
