Chapter 227 Goal: Steal money from all over the world!
It was quiet for a while.
Those things that the prince said are not just those of you here. I am afraid that from the pre-Qin period to today, no one in the thousands of years of history has thought about it like this.
I may have thought about unifying Mobei and annexing North Korea and Jiaozhi.
But Japan and the Indochina peninsula further south of Cochin...
I wouldn’t dare to think so if my buttocks are not covered with bedclothes.
The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was very large.
But that's a fight.
The Mongolian cavalry was devastated wherever it went, but the subsequent rule and governance were lackluster. It fell apart within a few years, and the Mongols did not conquer Japan and the Indochina Peninsula.
The prince meant that after the Ming Dynasty conquered these territories, they would still have to manage them.
It crosses the northern part of the desert in three days and reaches the southern end in one month.
It's simply impossible.
The fastest horse can only travel a few hundred miles a day, and the horse will be useless after running down.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "You don't need to think too much. What I said is just a state to be realized in the future. What I need to do now is to prepare for the expansion of the Ming Dynasty."
They are all the center of the court, there is no need to cover them up.
Let’s just talk about expansion and invasion.
This is how the Ming Dynasty should have been.
This is how the Ming Dynasty should be.
Yu Qian and Wang Wen looked at each other, and Yu Qian asked again: "Your Highness, please tell me how to prepare."
No money.
Does that mean tax law reform is the first step?
If the tax law reform is pushed forward as the first step, then His Royal Highness's overall operation is likely to be aborted.
Zhu Jianji said: "I plan to make some changes to the six parts."
Everyone: "???"
What's the meaning?
Reform six departments?
So what are we going to do?
Good guy, His Highness the Crown Prince talked about reform, but our six departments became His Highness the Crown Prince’s first move in reform. Just like that, how can we support His Highness the Crown Prince, and why don’t we spend every minute to support King Fu?
These central officials in the court fell into confusion.
Zhu Jianji continued: "That's what I think. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Punishment remain responsible for affairs. The Ministry of Industry added a scientific research institute, the Ministry of Accounts established a monetary institution and established a Ming Bank, and the Ministry of War added a naval department.
."
After a pause, "These are small changes. Ming Dynasty also needs to add an agricultural department to be responsible for national agricultural production matters to ensure that the people of Ming Dynasty can have enough to eat and drink."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Zhu Jianji motioned to Dai Yi to distribute the prepared planning documents.
When everyone was reading the planning document, Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "In fact, the six departments have planned and cleaned up their responsibilities, and the division of labor is clear, but there are also disadvantages. For example, the general manager of the Ministry of Industry has too many things to do and needs to be detailed, so the responsibilities of each department under the Ministry of Industry must be
More clearly. The focus of this project is mainly on the banks of the Ministry of Accounts and the navy of the Ministry of War. Let’s put it this way: the treasury income of the Ministry of Accounts mainly depends on
Taxation, but Daming can only create so much value in a year. If we want to develop, we need more money. How will this money come from... Find ways to make money from abroad. In this process, Daming Bank is crucial. At the same time, Daming wants
To make money from abroad, you must have both sticks and candy with both hands. If the Ming Dynasty's army wants to go abroad, the navy is indispensable."
The officials looked at the plan and found it difficult to accept it.
There are too many new vocabulary words in it.
Everyone doesn't understand.
Chen Xun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts, asked: "What kind of institution is Daming Bank? From the description written by His Highness, it seems that it is a national bank?"
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "It can be understood this way. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty introduced Baobao, but after decades, the current Ming Baobao is in name only. Next, I plan to focus on promoting Baobao and turning Baobao into a currency carrier, thereby changing
In the current monetary system, once the treasure banknotes have national credibility and support the value system of the currency, we can continue to use the treasure banknotes to plunder foreign resources."
Baochao is almost about to collapse.
Li Shuang, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is from Fujian and has more contact with overseas trade. Suddenly, his mood became a little high. "Looking at your highness's explanation, it seems that in the future we will use treasure money to buy foreign minerals, grain, war horses, etc."
, you can also turn the used treasure money into waste paper at any time?"
Use the treasure money to buy real things and bring them back!
This is how the tributary trade was done. Unfortunately, treasure notes are no longer what they used to be.
What is treasure money? It is paper.
Daming can print it at any time.
Not worth the money at all.
Once Your Highness's monetary system is successfully established, and the treasure banknotes have the national credibility of the Ming Dynasty, it is possible to completely replace the circulation role of copper coins, silver, and gold.
Many foreign countries can use Baobao as currency.
In other words, Ming Dynasty used a pile of paper in exchange for a large amount of supplies!
This is blatant hooliganism.
Many foreign countries can also see through the secrets here, so why don't they cooperate?
Ming Dynasty's great army!
If you don't cooperate, fight until you do!
No wonder His Highness said that his key reform directions are currency and navy.
Because this is the shortest way to make Ming Dynasty powerful!
And it’s a huge profit.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "It can be understood that way, but there is one thing wrong. Treasure banknotes cannot be turned into waste paper. As long as the treasure banknotes flow out from the hands of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty must recognize its value. We can use the treasure banknotes to buy them from others."
When the physical goods come back, others can also use the treasure money to buy our physical goods, so there is a key node: the trade gap."
Except for the three people from Hubu, the others were still a little confused.
Lu Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, thought thoughtfully, "Is this the model: we buy grain, cloth, and ore from abroad at low prices, then produce finished products and sell them abroad at high prices?"
Zhu Jianji said: "It is one of them. The most important point is that we should link the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes with gold and silver, and try to harvest as much foreign gold and silver as possible and bring them back to China."
Chen Xundao, the Minister of Revenue, said: "You can really try it."
Zhu Jianji looked at the others.
Everyone in the household department agreed, but the others didn't think they knew more than the people in the household department, so they could only nod.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Well, the Ministry of Accounts will take the lead in establishing the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty. The staffing, institutional establishment and other factors are all mentioned in Gu's plan, and the Ministry of Accounts will just complete them. At the same time, the Ministry of Accounts will discuss the matter.
Matters concerning the issuance and promotion of Ming Dynasty banknotes."
Baobao became the world's currency, which meant that the Ming Dynasty could unscrupulously steal money all over the world.
Why is the beautiful country powerful in the 21st century?
Because the US dollar is the world currency.
Of course, what is more important is that the beautiful country has the military power to act as the world's police and can quickly deploy its troops anywhere in the world. Therefore, if Ming Dynasty wants to achieve the goal of robbing the world of money, it is not just as simple as setting up banks to promote treasure banknotes.
We also need a strong army.
Especially the navy!
For hundreds of years to come, sea power will dominate.
Looking at Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Yu Shaobao, although the border war has been tense recently, Gu has already said that there is no need to worry, and Gu will lead the East Palace Young Army to the north. At this time, the Ministry of War should quickly establish a naval department. What do you think?"
