Chapter 62 Yongle brand conventional power banknote printing machine

"Can the Ming Dynasty use silver as currency now?"

Zhu Di, who was in the secret room next door, turned to Zhu Gaochi beside him and asked.

"Absolutely impossible!" Zhu Gaochi said categorically: "Even if we empty out the entire treasury of the Song Dynasty, which has always been famous for its wealth, it will not be enough! Let alone the current Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di held his chair and sighed: "Moving the capital, revising the canon, and marching to the north don't require money. If there is no extra money, I don't know how many years it will take to complete these things."

He looked at his father's rarely shown worried look, and couldn't help comforting him in an angry and funny way.

"Father, you don't have to worry too much. The world is in war, and people's livelihood is naturally in decline. But as long as we work hard, we can accumulate enough wealth to do one thing in a few years. Things have to come one by one! "

Zhu Gaochi continued: "After all, it was Mr. Jiang's idea to start the voyage to the West, and we all collected the money. Once the first voyage to the West is over, the country's financial situation will be greatly eased."

"Time waits for me."

Zhu Di sighed and shook his head: "If it were before, I might have been prepared to take it easy. But now, I extremely hope that Mr. Jiang can conjure money for me."

"It ruled the Tang and Song Dynasties for a long time, and reached the Han and Tang Dynasties far away!"

"Don't talk about it." Jiang Xinghuo doesn't like to talk nonsense, ""Chinese Monetary History" is a complete course. It makes no sense to single out some concepts. Now I will only talk about the monetization of silver, that is, the reasons for the monetization of silver, and the history. ,trend."

——I should sit on this throne!"

"Historically, the vast Mongol Empire has always used silver as the standard of value (standard rather than currency). This also means that in trade with Western countries, silver is the most suitable for 'cross-border international trade' Because both West Asia and Western Europe recognize silver but not copper coins."

"Private copper coins are minted privately. The quality of the copper coins circulating on the market is uneven, which makes the price of copper depreciate. I can understand this. What about the precious banknotes? Isn't this thing just a piece of paper? How can it depreciate?"

Zhu Di spit out slowly: "Mr. Jiang will always find a way."

Jiang Xinghuo paused for a moment before continuing: "First of all, let's talk about the question of 'whether a treasure note is a piece of paper'."

"Why does it represent the national power of the Ming Dynasty? Because in other words, the total amount of the Ming Dynasty's treasures is the total productivity of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the total number of valuable items created by the Ming Dynasty."

The root cause of worrying about gains and losses is that Zhu Di knew very well that Ming Dynasty was now facing a profound internal crisis.

"Mr. Jiang's words have become my lifelong goal. I can only work hard to develop the national power of the Ming Dynasty to far exceed that of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Only when I go underground can I confidently tell your grandfather."

But some important information.

"So the excessive issuance of treasure banknotes is actually sucking the blood of the people at the expense of damaging the credibility of Ming Dynasty!"

Inside the wall, Jiang Xinghuo explained seriously.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and asked: "Which sentence?"

In order to strengthen his rule, Zhu Di needed a lot of money.

"Indiscriminate issuance of treasure banknotes is a way to obtain a large amount of wealth without any effort. The money comes in too fast and too easily, and the court will become addicted!"

Hearing the sense of expectation in Zhu Di's tone when he spoke, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but curiously asked.

That's why Zhu Xi put his attention on the treasure banknote, trying to use this faster means to increase Daming's fiscal revenue.

Zhu Gaochi said tremblingly: "Father emperor, can't say that, the court has difficulties for the time being, and printed more treasure banknotes to save urgency, and will definitely converge in the future."

"Silver monetization, as the name suggests, is to make silver the main currency of Daming."

"And these wealth of wealth use the tools of treasure banknotes, cut from the people, are the flesh and blood of the people!"

"What does Father Emperor mean?"

"In terms of trend, whether it is the depreciation of the treasures inside Daming or the private casting of copper coins, or the external silver inflow and maritime transactions, it will lead to a relatively stable silver in large numbers to become the main currency of Daming after Daming."

Zhu Gaoxuan asked curiously: "Mr. Jiang, may you talk about it?"

"My answer is." Jiang Xinghuo said, "It is not a piece of paper, it represents Daming's national strength and reputation."

Seeing that it was like a thin ice, Zhu Xi sighed and asked.

"In terms of reasons, silver as a currency has its significant advantages, that is, corrosion resistance is easy to save, and the texture is easy to cut and cast. It is less than copper but more gold. Broken silver can be used as small currency, and silver ingots can be used for large transactions for large transactions. . ""

The dense room next door.

"Mr. Jiang said that Daming's current 'treasure banknote-copper coin' system will depreciate, which will make relatively stable silver the main currency of Daming's future."

Zhu Xi has never suffered like today, and even lost his decisive style of killing in the clouds on weekdays.

Li Jinglong was keenly noticed that the focus of Jiang Xinghuo was not these theories.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to repeat it too much about these, he just spoke briefly.

But Zhu Xi didn't think about it, or what he didn't want to think is that the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty's court had severely overdraft, and he couldn't get so many real gold and silver.

"Why does Daming's reputation? Because the people believe that this paper can be used as a money written on the paper."

Li Jinglong was arranged by Zhu Xi. He knew that Zhu Xi was not listening to the next door at this moment, so he played his own role and asked carefully.

"This involves some definitions, such as what is currency and what is the essence of currency. The pre -content of these" History of Huaxia Currency "will not talk about it."

After pause, he continued: "And, I always feel that this matter is not simple, maybe it is not unable to achieve it."

"Chi'er, you don't want to brush your face, refuse to tell the truth. I don't remember Mr. Jiang who said a word?"

"So, after the old monk was crazy that day, the words we said, we were all sucking worms, is it really true?" For a long time, Zhu Xi asked.

"——— All free things, fate is in the dark, the price is good."

The princes in various places, Jianwen Yu, Hong Wu's old and old. There are various forces, all of which stared at the dragon chair under his buttocks. Everyone wanted to overturn this chaotic thief, and then replaced it.

"The non -restrained non -authorized treasure banknotes are that there are less money on the market. The people need to buy more money than the original money, and the treasure banknotes will naturally depreciate."

In the end, Jiang Xinghuo said affirmatively: "In short, Daming's silver monetization must be an inevitable trend of historical development."

Zhu Xi just said nothing.

"You can think of these, it is rare, it is indeed my student!" Jiang Xinghuo said slightly.

Just a few months after the throne, Zhu Xi has continuously launched the ‘Yongle brand conventional power printing machine’.

Zhu Xi's troubles and losses were that he got the money used to strengthen the rule and stabilized his throne. So what did he lose?

The heart of the people!

Zhu Xi seemed to see people with a shirt and thin face and thin face, and had become a piece of treasure banknote with a piece of waste paper. They were collecting debts to him.

"The banknote method must be changed, and it can really not be issued."

Zhu Xi held his hands in the cuffs, and said, "I have lost the heart of reading the seeds in the world, and I can't lose the hearts of the people in the world anymore, otherwise, wouldn't it really become the only husband and thief ruled by the arrogant soldiers?"
