Tao Yao said to Zhu Cixiang in front of her with a smile on her face.
Zhu Cixi smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, let's not mention him anymore! Regarding the bank thing I told you before, have you thought of any more suitable solution?"
Zhu Cixiang looked slightly serious and said to Taoyao in front of him.
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Taoyao showed a trace of hesitation in her eyes.
"Your Highness, the Huangming Bank we just established is only in Shandong, and it only does some lending and deposit business, so it's not bad.
But if we want to expand and print money, we don’t have enough money!”
Taoyao pondered for a moment and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of her.
"If there is not enough silver to give everyone the exchange ratio, then maybe the people in Shandong will use banknotes because of your prestige, but outside Shandong, banknotes..."
Taoyao looked helplessly at Zhu Cixiang in front of her.
"You'd better be more cautious! That's all for other things. If Your Highness's reputation is ruined, then you will be in real trouble!"
Taoyao's eyes were filled with helplessness.
At this time, there was a hint of contemplation in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
“How much money do we still have in our treasury now??”
"I did some statistics yesterday and found that there are currently 7.18 million taels of silver in cash."
"More than seven million taels..."
There was a trace of contemplation in Zhu Cixiang's eyes. He looked at Taoyao in front of him and asked: "Taoyao, you are very good at mathematics. Let me ask you a question. If we want to issue banknotes that can match the whole country, how much currency do we need?"
Cash money??”
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Taoyao's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
"Judging from the current situation, we need about 100 million in cash!"
Tao Yao said helplessly to Zhu Cixiang in front of her.
"The Ming Dynasty's economy is developing too fast, and countless silver coins are constantly flowing in. If we want to make banknotes work, we need to have enough cash as reserves!"
"One hundred million?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
"There should be no problem!"
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Taoyao was slightly stunned. She looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of her with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Your Highness, how could you do anything???"
Tao Yao looked at Zhu Cihong in front of her with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
She didn't know how His Highness the Prince planned to obtain 100 million taels of cash.
You know, even the income of the national treasury at its peak was only more than 30 million taels of silver a year!
One hundred million taels of silver!
It’s simply not money that the Ming Dynasty’s court can come up with!
What exactly is His Royal Highness planning to do???
Tao Yao's eyes were full of confusion as she looked at Zhu Cihong in front of her.
"Hahahaha! You will know after that!"
The corners of Zhu Cixiang's mouth curled up slightly. Of course he has no money now, but the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi have money!
Shanxi merchants can be said to be world-famous. In recent years, most of the overseas silver has flowed into the hands of Shanxi merchants.
Moreover, Shanxi merchants also made deals with the Manchus, made deals that betrayed the country, and continued to sell iron products to the Manchus. If not for this, the Manchus would probably still be using bronze wares to fight.
Shanxi merchants not only smuggled contraband to the Manchus over the years!
And they even openly led the way for the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
All this is irrefutable!
Jin Yiwei has already collected enough evidence of the crimes of these Shanxi merchants!
All he has to do is wait until he unifies the world and then settle the accounts with these businessmen!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed coldly.
Tao Yao on the side looked at Zhu Cihong in front of her with a puzzled look in her eyes. She really couldn't imagine where His Highness the Prince was going to get these 100 million taels of silver.
With such a large amount of money, I am afraid that even if His Highness the Prince ransacks all the houses of corrupt officials, he would not be able to get so much money!
Of course, Taoyao wouldn't think about what happened to Shanxi merchants right now!
…………
The other side.
On the grassland, after half a month of marching, Hauge led the army and had already begun to approach Liaodong.
Soon, Hauge and others arrived at the first small town on the edge of Liaodong.
Hauge flew his Zhenglan Banner. Small towns like this were usually guarded by soldiers from the Green Battalion, and the news about Hauge's rebellion must have not reached such a remote town.
Seeing the flag, the green battalion soldiers quickly opened the city gate for Haoge without giving up.
It was just a small city with a population of more than 10,000 people, and tens of thousands of people came in all of a sudden.
The city was instantly blocked.
With almost no effort, Haug took under his command the hundreds of Green Battalion soldiers stationed in the city.
There was no way, in the fight between the Manchu and Qing nobles, these green battalion soldiers could actually do nothing but choose sides.
Now that so few people have met Haug, they will naturally side with him.
After controlling the people in the city and making sure that no one in the city was going to spread the word.
At this time, Hauge and Mandu Latu were sitting in the living room of the city lord's mansion.
"Come! Brother Hauge, let me introduce you. This is my staff and my most important adviser! Mr. Shui Jing!"
Mr. Shui Jing on the side nodded slightly towards Hauge.
"Hahaha! Let me also introduce to you, this is also my counselor and my savior, Wang Ting!"
Wang Ting smiled and nodded towards Mandu Ratu in front of him.
Mandu Ratu smiled slightly.
After glancing at Wang Ting, he quickly looked at Hauge beside him, and his expression quickly became serious.
"Brother Hauge, now that we have occupied this city, what should we do next???"
There was a trace of hesitation in Mandu Ratu's eyes.
"Should we go directly to Shengjing now? Or should we go to Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan first??"
There was a hint of hesitation in Mandu Ratu's eyes.
Hauge also showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
"Why not come together?"
Mr. Shui Jing and Wang Ting on the side spoke almost at the same time.
After saying that, the two of them were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. They both saw the fear in each other's eyes.
"Together???"
Mandu Latu and Hauge were both stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other with a hesitant look in their eyes.
"Yes! Not bad! Just together!"
Wang Ting smiled slightly and said to the two people in front of him.
"One of our teams will go to Shanhaiguan, and the other will go to Shengjing! These two places are very important! And it is difficult to guarantee that no news will be leaked at all! We now have enough troops, and if we work together, we will not be passive!
"
Wang Ting smiled slightly and said to Hauge and Mandu Latu in front of him!
"That's right! Wang Ting is right. If we work together, there will be many benefits!"
