However, he was persuaded by Li Shanchang Liu Bowen at the time, saying that after a long period of troubled times, the people were unsettled, and it was difficult to convince the people to issue banknotes at this time. After all, to the people, a piece of paper was far less valuable than real copper coins.
The weight is safe.
As several people finished speaking, Master Zhang, the Minister of Rites, began to fill in the omissions, and Zhu Biao transformed their words into his own understanding. Fortunately, Zhu Biao was very knowledgeable, otherwise Master Zhang's words full of historical records would not be something ordinary people could understand.
Understand.
It turns out that Mongolia was originally a nation that valued commerce. As early as the period of Genghis Khan, it sent caravans to Khwarazm in the hope of establishing peaceful commercial relations with Khwarazm.
However, the short-sighted Khwarez people killed the Mongolian caravan, which also became the trigger for the Mongolian Western Expedition. The result is self-evident. Genghis Khan's pro-government army invaded the west. It lasted five years, destroyed the city, destroyed the country, and recruited 400,000 people.
The army captured a large area of Khorezm.
From an economic perspective, after the Western Expeditions, Mongolia established a large Eurasian trade circle. However, the currency at that time had various shortcomings, and there was no solution at all, which was not conducive to the large-scale circulation of materials within the huge territory.
Politically speaking, Mongolia has destroyed countless countries, so after unification, the first thing to do is to unify the chaotic currency system like Qin Shihuang. However, if copper coins are minted according to tradition and each region is allowed to mint coins separately, it will easily lead to separatism, so paper currency is issued.
The imperial court could control the circulation and avoid the formation of separatist regimes.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty naturally turned its attention to the banknotes used by the Song Dynasty. Its issuance cost was low and it was easy to carry. In addition, after the issuance of banknotes, more gold and silver could be concentrated in the hands of the country. Therefore, banknotes became the most important currency in Mongolia.
Best choice.

A total of five editions of banknotes were issued before and after the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to various local banknotes in the early period, the Zhongtong banknotes issued after Kublai Khan came to the throne were the first edition of banknotes issued nationwide.
In order to ensure the smooth issuance and circulation of Zhongtong banknotes, Kublai Khan stipulated that anyone who resisted the use of the banknotes could be sentenced to death. Under the scimitar of the Mongolian cavalry, everything went smoothly, and the effectiveness of the banknotes was no different from that of pure gold.
Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty also absorbed the experience and lessons of the Song Dynasty's banknote issuance. By controlling the amount of currency issuance, setting up a gold and silver leveling treasury, emphasizing the country's gold and silver reserves, regularly checking the reserve storage situation of the leveling treasury, and severely punishing wealthy merchants for raising prices and
Compulsory cheating by management officials.
There are also measures such as improving the currency recycling system and strictly combating counterfeit currency laws and other measures to consciously ensure the value of banknotes. At the beginning of the issuance of Yuan Dynasty banknotes, the currency value was stable and the overall operation was good.
Zhu Biao nodded from time to time. Such a perfect currency management system is always worthy of recognition. When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Comrade Zhu on the other side. Then what happened to your old Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?
Come on, can this thing still reverse the course of history?
Even if they copy the Yuan Dynasty's "Regulations on the Regulation of Banknote Laws", they are more mature than the Ming Dynasty's Baochao system. I really don't understand what Comrade Lao Zhu's thinking was when he issued Baochao.
Could it be that it was just for emergency purposes, but ended up getting addicted to printing money and not bothering to consider the consequences?
Zhu Biao thought about it and estimated that it was similar. The finances of any dynasty were bound to be stretched at the beginning of the founding of the country, especially the Ming Dynasty. In addition, after the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty had to fight a lot of external wars, but the natural disasters at home had not yet subsided.
Amid internal and external troubles, I'm afraid I can't even raise the reserves to issue banknotes, so I have to print money. Otherwise, what can I do? We need money for war, disaster relief, salary, and money. We can't just say we don't have it.
Bar.
And Zhu Di also had to take the blame. It was undeniable that he had great achievements as an emperor, but he rebelled to seize the throne, so he felt guilty. He was afraid of being reviled by future generations, he was afraid of having a bad reputation in history books, and he was even more afraid of seeing his father after his death.
Therefore, he did not dare to enjoy the slightest pleasure after taking office, as if someone was driving him away with a whip from behind. He moved the capital to Beijing, built a palace, made seven voyages to the West, five expeditions to Mobei, and organized and compiled the Yongle Grand Ceremony. These constituted the Yongle era, but everything was
It requires a lot of people and financial resources.
Under the leadership of Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty made great achievements, but everything above required money, and it was a huge amount of money, which was far beyond the burden of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty did not have it.
If there is nothing to do, we can only continue to print treasure banknotes, which has completely led to the end of treasure banknotes. The number of issuances is increasing, but the value is getting smaller and smaller, and the people have to use it under the force of the court.
After him, Zhu Gaochi only ascended the throne for ten months. Why is he qualified to be called Renzong? It is not because he pardoned many old Jianwen ministers, redressed many injustices, abolished many harsh regimes and taxes, stopped Zheng He's voyages to the West, especially in the military field.
, repaired military equipment, stopped the large-scale use of troops during the Yongle period, and allowed the people of the world to rest.
It's not that Zhu Gaochi doesn't want to continue to hold on to the glorious dignity of Yongle's prosperous age, but that he really can't hold on anymore. Zhu Di wants to be strong all his life. He has no regrets and may have the face to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. It's just that the people are living a very difficult and exhausted life, and rebels are coming one after another.
To be honest, it is not a good thing for a country to have a strong and stalwart king for several generations. A wise warrior must have great ambitions and want to leave a few colorful marks in the history.
It's just that they are resorting to military force and spending countless resources to bring prosperity and ruin to the people. What the people want is never a prosperous age, because it is not their turn to enjoy the prosperous age at all. Instead, they have to be like ants, dedicating all kinds of work, leisure, miscellaneous taxes and other things to the prosperous age.
life.
Only the gentry and princes enjoy the prosperity of the prosperous age, and only they can boast of a prosperous age. What do the common people, who face the earth with their backs to the sky and cannot read a single word, understand?
I don’t want prosperity or troubled times, I just want to be able to eat and wear clothes in a peaceful world, and it’s okay to be a peace dog.
At this time, Old Master Zhang had finished his explanation, and Zhu Biao directly ordered: "You all should also know the meaning of my inquiry at this time. When you return, you will inquire about the system of banknotes in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. According to the "Regulations on the Regulation of Banknotes"
Come up with a plan and give you five months."
The Minister of Household Affairs made a promise, and then glanced at the silent emperor on the side before raising his hands and saying: "Your Highness, issuing banknotes has both advantages and disadvantages. It needs to be carefully considered. I would like to ask some personnel from other departments to cooperate."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Yes, both the officials in the court and the scribes outside the court take this matter as their top priority, and they can report anything they need to this palace, and everything is allowed."
"You must describe the types and denominations of the banknotes, the issuance and exchange methods of the banknotes, the reserve funds for issuance, the range of uses of the banknotes and the price comparison of new and old banknotes, the methods of buying and selling gold and silver and the penalties for privately buying and selling gold and silver, and the counterfeiting of banknotes.
The punishments and other contents must be stipulated in detail and cannot be ignored!"
