Chapter 523 A Huge Problem Facing Daqin(1/2)
Daqin National Bank is an institution that has the functions of a central bank and a commercial bank.
If it only had the function of a commercial bank, having a lot of money would not be a big deal to Chen Ping.
Commercial banks only need to make profits through the interest rate difference between deposits and loans, which is considered to have completed their job.
Nowadays, Daqin commercial banks are everywhere, private small and medium-sized workshops and various engineering teams are eager to empty the bank's coffers.
Nowadays, people have developed the habit of depositing their spare money in banks.
In this regard, it can be said that the National Bank of China is the wealthiest institution in human history.
But as a national bank that needs to regulate the economy, the current situation of Daqin National Bank is extremely bad.
For the National Bank, having more money is actually the original sin.
Now Chen Ping has become more and more aware of the truth that the so-called gold and silver currency itself has no actual value.
Real wealth is not these things.
The National Bank of the Qin Dynasty already has the right to mint coins. How many gold, silver and copper coins do you want?
Wealth is generated in the circulation process of money.
The amount of currency must be linked to actual wealth, and it is not possible to create as much money as you want.
However, Chen Ping discovered that there was more and more money in the bank recently.
The amount of coins minted by the mint is getting smaller and smaller.
This is a terrible sign!
This means that Da Qin's wealth has stopped growing.
Both ordinary people and commercial banks have become conservative and like to deposit money in banks.
This discovery kept Chen Ping awake at night.
Especially after getting accurate data from the Market Supervision Bureau, Chen Ping immediately became anxious.
Excess production capacity has resulted in a backlog of goods.
The main reason is market constraints.
But Chen Ping thought that from the bank's perspective, it might be possible to provide stimulus through some operations.
However, there is no precedent for this kind of thing, and Chen Ping does not dare to make any good claims.
Chen Ping had submitted three memorials to Xianyang Palace before, but they all fell into disgrace and Ying Zheng did not reply at all.
Since helping Su supervise the country, a large number of new people have been hired and many new institutions have been established.
A strange situation occurred in the Great Qin Court.
On the one hand, there is the court controlled by the emperor with the framework of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, and on the other hand, there is another court established by Zhao Kun with the help of Fusu, based on the National Bank, the Market Supervision Bureau and the Supervisory Bureau.
Now, what Chen Ping is thinking about is how to write this memorial.
Although the First Emperor was in charge, there was no conflict between the old and new courts.
But it is undeniable that the officials of the old court do not actually understand today's Da Qin.
The main reason why Chen Ping's memorial has not been dealt with is that the officials in the old court did not understand the problems faced by Da Qin today.
What?
There are still people who are worried about having too much money?
The most ridiculous thing in the world!
Although Ying Zheng would not take this for granted, it was obvious that he could not handle this situation.
Now Ying Zheng has a very clear position on himself, which is to protect the current situation for Zhao Kun.
He would rather not do it than make a mistake.
This resulted in all the problems encountered in Da Qin being temporarily suppressed before Zhao Kun came back.
The only tax rate issue that Ying Zheng intervened in has been put on hold until now due to opposition from businessmen.
Of course, this matter can be rehabilitated and handed over to Fusu, but what happened to Fusu before still makes many people feel grudge.
They thought he wanted to murder Zhao Kun, especially the newly promoted officials, who had strong opinions on Fusu.
Therefore, using Fusu now was not a clear choice in the eyes of the First Emperor.
Just like that, the whole Xianyang was melancholy, waiting for Zhao Kun to return.
And Nanyue County on the other side.
Zhao Kun is reading the secret letter written by Zhang Han.
"The reaction is quite sharp. Since he has his own plan, we might as well use his plan to investigate the Yin Yang Palace!"
Zhao Kun said and handed the secret letter to Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao took the secret letter and read it, frowning and said: "According to the analysis of the content in Zhang Han's letter, this Mo Hu should be plotting something. Don't we need to intervene?"
"Didn't you delay the handover of military power in South Vietnam just to wait for my eldest brother and me to come so that we could be imprisoned and threaten my father?"
Zhao Kun smiled disdainfully and said: "Now that I'm targeting Zhang Han, it seems that I'm targeting Zhang Han's military power!"
"Oh, specifically, it should be Zhang Han's new weapon. I guess they have also seen the power of the new weapon!"
"In this case, why don't we forcefully take back military power in South Vietnam?"
"Military power can be seized at any time, but this is inappropriate."
Zhao Kun shook his head and said: "What we can know is that Zhao Tuo colluded with the Yin and Yang Palace, including Mo Hu, who probably knew about it. So now that we have taken military power, we have lost their information, and we will try to find it later."
It will be even more difficult for them."
"Okay, just follow Zhang Han's plan, and I'll send someone to assist him secretly!"
"Well, I will reply with a letter later. You can have someone give it to him. Oh, by the way, give him two of the new gadgets I brought from Xianyang!"
"Two for free? Isn't that a bit too much? There aren't many in total?"
Jiang Chao frowned, obviously reluctant to give up.
But Zhao Kun smiled and said indifferently: "We beat others secretly before, but now if we don't give any benefits, how can others express their loyalty?"
"This means, hit a stick and give a date?"
"Haha, Commander Jiang learns very quickly!"
Zhao Kun laughed for a while, then suddenly thought of something, he restrained his smile and said, "Have you sent anyone to investigate your matter?"
"That tribe has disappeared and there's no way to trace it. And I don't think it's necessary to survive..."
"It's not necessary! I want you to live forever!"
After hearing Jiang Chao's words, Zhao Kun immediately turned his face and shouted loudly.
Jiang Chao's expression was astonished, and he seemed a little at a loss.
At this moment, Wang Ya rushed in from the door with Tao Hua, thinking to herself that she was fine just now, why did she suddenly get angry?
"Husband, husband, are you okay..."
Wang Ya came to Zhao Kun cautiously, grabbed his sleeve, and looked at Jiang Chao with confused eyes.
Taohua stood at the door holding a tray with two steaming bowls of freshly cooked soup.
She was also frightened by Zhao Kun's shout.
However, Zhao Kun ignored them and just looked at Jiang Chao with a solemn expression: "Jiang Wa'er, I treat you as my brother, and I hope you take this matter seriously!"
"But....."
Jiang Chao looked at Zhao Kun with responsible eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "I have very little information here, and my father has never told me anything about the clan, so there is no way to find out."
"Your father was brought back by General Wang. The Wang family should know something about your family. Let's investigate from the Wang family first. Since I came to South Vietnam, I can't return empty-handed!" Zhao Kun said without any doubt.
"Whether it's your clan's affairs, the Yin Yang Palace, or other matters, I will solve them all when I come to South Vietnam this time!"
With that said, he shouted to the outside world: "Have someone ask Zhang Liang to come over. Just tell him that I have something to do with him!"
"promise."
There was a promise at the door and he quickly left the inn.
"call."
Zhao Kun took a deep breath to calm down, then walked to Taohua, picked up two bowls of soup, handed one bowl to Jiang Chao, put the other bowl to his mouth and drank two sips.
Immediately afterwards, he exhaled another stream of hot air and said to Wang Ya: "Mei Ya, the soup tastes good, but there is a bit too much soup. Please put less in it next time!"
"Oh, good husband."
Wang Ya reacted for a moment, then walked to Zhao Kun's side with small steps, and muttered: "Husband, aren't you angry with Jiang Wa'er?"
"When have you ever seen me angry? I just feel uncomfortable in my throat, so I have to yell!" Zhao Kun said with a straight face.
"whee."
