Speaking of this matter, Li Er himself did not expect that there could be so much gold and silver in the bank, which even made Li Er wonder... Could there be some old guys like Wu and Qi Wang involved in it and also in the bank?
Have you saved money? This guess directly leads to...
Li Er originally just wanted to inoculate the common people, mainly the maritime merchants, as soon as possible, so that they could understand the dangers of the world - Li Er did not expect that these banknotes and banknotes could be faked, but Li Sheng gave
This thing is really written in the scriptures... and it also specifically warns politicians that they should try their best to remind the people to beware of counterfeit bills and so on...
Of course, whether banknotes or banknotes, the key to these things does not lie in these minutiae, but in the recognition of the people. And if forged counterfeit bills will appear sooner or later, then letting the people be wary of counterfeit bills in advance will actually
The negative impact will be much smaller than if another "fake ticket incident" occurs in the future.
Of course... Li Er still felt a little guilty for taking so many counterfeit notes this time, because as His Majesty the Emperor who encouraged the great cause of maritime trade, Li Er still knew that it was still not easy for maritime merchants in the Tang Dynasty. They were born and died.
Making money, in this sense... is no different from those heroic generals who came to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty.
Then... of course we still have to consider returning the gold and silver that the maritime merchants had deposited in the bank - of course, in the form of banknotes. But what confused Li Er was that the bank's accounts were kept by someone else.
I have specifically inquired about it, and the amount and origin are just like that, but the problem is... when I got a bunch of fake banknotes to get the gold and silver, there was an inexplicable amount of gold and silver...
It is precisely because of this extra sum that the entire amount is incredibly large.
Even if a large part of it was returned to the maritime merchants in the form of court rewards and subsidies, there was still a large gold and silver balance... This part was as if the court had dropped it out of thin air and picked it up out of thin air.
How could the gold and silver in the bank be so much more than the gold and silver in the saver's village? This amounted to almost 20% of the gold and silver in the entire Tang Dynasty.
but……
Although he couldn't understand it, Li Er was still in a very happy mood.
No matter how you say it, this time you got a considerable amount of gold and silver, and the amount of gold and silver in the entire treasury increased by 50%!
Such a significant profit...and this is even including the gold and silver to be returned to the maritime merchants.
And if you include the amount of gold and silver returned and subsidized to maritime merchants, then the entire amount would be like... Datang's treasury gold and silver, nearly doubled!
This is a complete blessing from heaven for Li Er. But correspondingly...
To truly digest this great benefit and the wealth that comes out of thin air, it is necessary to turn the gold and silver on hand into banknotes - in this regard, Li Er also has Li Sheng's power to help, but this time it is not currency.
The content of the study of banking is something included in a memorial written by Li Er.
This thing, called "Moiré pattern", is a specially designed special pattern. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to imitate it. And more importantly... this pattern called Moiré pattern cannot be imprinted.
!
As long as the rubbing is done, the light and dark pictures composed of the moiré pattern will inexplicably have countless strange color blocks with unknown meanings, which are completely different from the original appearance. Naturally, Li Er did not understand such a magical pattern at first sight...
What is the principle behind this... But with such a useful thing, Li Er, who wanted to promote banknotes as soon as possible, of course immediately started promoting it.
On the other hand...
Li Er knows the magic of moiré pattern, very clear about it, but for ordinary people... no, even he doesn't understand the key mystery of moiré pattern, let alone the common people, but
One thing is certain, the common people must not be aware of such an awesome and magical thing.
However, the people of China have a consistent attitude when faced with unknown and powerful things: keep a respectful distance and keep in touch.
Instincts cannot be intelligent. Intelligent instincts must be things left by the great sages, accumulated in the long struggle for survival, and then given to all their children and grandchildren.
This kind of quality... Let Li Er say that he can compose a hundred poems in a minute to praise those sages.
But when it comes to the specific situation, people have this instinct of caution and calmness, which makes it troublesome to handle many things, such as this banknote...
Although Li Er also wanted to solve the problem at hand, the people did not admit it. How could things be so simple?
So for Li Er, there is still a lot of work to do.
How can we get the people to accept banknotes... This is a question with "no answer". This does not mean that this matter will not work. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to get the people to accept banknotes, but it means that the solution must be
It is systemic and cannot be achieved overnight.
Of course, such difficulty cannot scare Li Er. For Li Er, he has never seen anything easy to handle since he was a child. And now...
Within the Tang Dynasty, the banknotes themselves had to work hard to promote it, and they had to work as hard as possible. There is no doubt about this, but... in monetary and banking science, except for this part, which Li Sheng called the "money multiplier effect"
things, and some content.
This part is the "internationalization of banknotes."
The banknotes of the Tang Dynasty not only had to be circulated within the territory of the Tang Dynasty to solve the growing problem of copper coin shortage in the Tang Dynasty, but also to push the agricultural and industrial industries of the Tang Dynasty to new heights and build greater industries.
At the same time, the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty must still be circulated throughout the world. Only in this way, only in this way, only in this way can we complete this road, only in this way can we complete this thing...
China is the ruler of the world.
Only in China can it be said that everyone is like a dragon.
And this kind of thing is obviously not easy to handle. For Datang to become the ruler of the world, this requires that Datang itself must become the place where the most "technological" achievements are obtained and the most superb, and it must have tyrannical force that can defeat the heroes of the world.
, and this point is completely consistent with the previous point.
With such a complex and ambitious goal, of course, first of all, we need to obtain resources from overseas, and this way of obtaining resources...
In the beginning, it was gold and silver.
This is what Li Sheng entrusted to him. It is the most important, the least regretful, and the more he thinks about it, the most profitable national policy and the strategic achievement that has been successfully achieved in stages.
And now, there is a lot of gold and silver. Due to the "real secret" shortage of copper coins among the people, banks have spontaneously emerged - which is what Li Sheng calls banks. So these gold and silver... are almost
