I am the king of the dead

Look at the Dibao, you can't say such ridiculous and generous words!

What does it mean to have only [-]% in politics?What is zero points for financial affairs?

May I ask, is there anyone in the world who understands the four words financial affairs better than Your Majesty?

Obviously not.

"A group of people who don't know the destiny." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "They don't know the destiny, but they reminded me."

"Nanjing people have fully seen our military strength and the ability of our Antu herdsmen."

"But what they are urgently concerned about now is whether prices can be stabilized, whether people will starve to death, and whether people will freeze to death."

"These issues are what the people are most concerned about right now, and they are also a test for us."

"The speculators are trying to threaten me with the daily necessities of the people in Nanjing, and I desperately hope that I can repent."

Li Xian immediately sat up straight, let His Majesty repent, this is the central idea of ​​the new essay he wrote based on Article 64.

"Okay, why does Li Yushi have to look like this?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "Have you ever read Hu Shangshu's annotated book of memorials and pairs from the capital?"

Li Xian quickly bowed his head and said: "I have read it, and I understand it."

Although your majesty is written in vulgar words, the reasoning is easy to understand, but it always lacks a little taste. The note book written by Hu Wei, Dao and fame, labor and profit, complement each other, step by step, and solve the problem of Li Xian. The last doubt in my heart.

This is all the way of the road.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Very good."

Zhu Qiyu continued to speak: "If we still hold on to the old ideas and don't set up government-run mills, banknotes, customs and ships, we will be led by the nose."

"If we beat them militarily, if we beat them partly politically, and if we lose all over financial matters, we're going to be untenable, we're going to fail."

"I have to surrender to them."

Zhu Qiyu first emphasized his importance and the importance of financial affairs.

"Your Majesty, Wang Hu, the doctor of the Household Department, Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the Neicheng Transport Depot, Wang Qian, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and others have all arrived." Xing'an bowed his head and said, "After passing the Jinchuan Gate, we arrived at the Drum Tower."

Zhu Qiyu not only has people, he also invites people.

Not long after, there were a few more chairs in the Wenhua Hall.

When Zhu Qiyu saw that everyone had arrived, he said in a vibrating voice, "Commander Shi Biao, send [-] soldiers and horses to the official roads and post roads, and cooperate with the household department to find out the direction of various materials and department stores."

"Datong Bo Tao Jin, if you lead troops in Zhenjiang, you must be careful of these people jumping over the wall in a hurry and want to go out to sea. You must also ensure the shipping from Mizhou Shipsi and Yuegang City Shipsi to Ningbo City Shipsi."

"Shi Heng, Marquis of Wuqing, and Wang Qian, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, the two of you are going to the Ma'anshan Coal Kiln in Taiping Mansion. There was a ban on digging mountains and cutting rocks in the Ming Dynasty, and all private kilns will be investigated and dealt with."

"The rebel prisoners are going to do hard labor, so let's go to Ma'anshan in Taiping Prefecture and build a saddle factory."

"Chai, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are the first words. This year's winter wind is extremely cold. Qin Tianjian Xu Dun said that there may be a cold wave. This is the most important thing."

"Li Xian, Lin Cong, you two led the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to check the city, Meishikou and Caishikou inside and outside."

"Lu Zhong, you take Tiqi to take over the five cities' soldiers and horses, and are responsible for the entry and exit of the gates and water gates of each city."

"Yu Shaobao, you are still in charge of the overall arrangement."

Many courtiers bowed their heads and said: "The ministers are waiting for the order."

Xu Chengzong, as the Duke of Wei, of course has to participate in court discussions, but he has been living in Nanjing for so many years.

This time, it was naturally Xu Chengzong who expressed his position.

loyalty!

Xu Chengzong is very afraid of death, isn't it good to live?

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Chengzong, everyone had something to do, but Xu Chengzong and Zhu Qiyu didn't make any arrangements.

He thought Xu Chengzong would not come to the meeting, but Xu Chengzong came.

"Wei Guogong cooperated with Lu Zhong to participate in the maritime directory?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Xu Chengzong hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The minister accepts the decree!"

If you have work to do, you won't die.

Wang Hu, the right servant of the household department, asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Jin Shangshu asks me about the 740 million taels of silver."

Zhu Qiyu asked full of doubts: "What money? What 740 million taels?"

"Xing'an, is there such a thing?"

Chapter 355 Jingtai Tongbao

Yu Qian smiled without saying a word, watching His Majesty be sloppy.

According to his understanding of the imperial court, "Nothing in the world is selfish, and no one is selfish. At the beginning of life, everyone is selfish and everyone benefits. Only your majesty has the public ear." According to the theory, the king is selfless.

But he knew that it was impossible, how could a king be selfless?

Do you have to know how many bowls of rice Your Majesty wants to eat?

It is true that His Majesty has made a lot of money from his internal funds, but most of His Majesty's begging for money is spent on the Beijing camp, and in many cases, this is the basis for the stability of the court.

The army is the ballast, and His Majesty finally took control of the Beijing camp with a method that Yu Qian could not even think of, and continued to reward generously to prevent the army's military discipline from being corrupted. On the other hand, it strictly prohibited the army from engaging in financial affairs.

Many things in this world are based on seeking the best and getting the best. If His Majesty is really a saint, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Yu Qian is a very simple and pragmatic person, which is very compatible with His Majesty.

We are all pragmatic people.

Your Majesty is already very good, if you want to just go in and out like Emperor Taizong Wen, using the money of the court to make money inside, it is too much.

There is a distance between the ideal and the reality, and the ideal and the actual state system must be clearly distinguished.

Your Majesty must have the loyalty of the army, otherwise how can he be called a king?

this is the truth.

Therefore, Yu Qian is always happy when His Majesty makes money. As long as he does not forget that the court still has a share, he never makes a sound, standing on the dry bank to watch the excitement.

"Okay, isn't it just 740 million taels of silver? Is it a lot? Is it a lot?" Lin Xiu patted the table and said, "This is the Wenhua Palace. If we want to quarrel, go to the Yantie Conference!"

Wang Hu stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "A mere 740 million taels of silver? Lin Xiu! How dare you say those two words?!"

"Did you know that during the orthodox years, every year the various prefectures changed colors, only 130 million taels of silver!"

"You don't know, you only care about yourself!"

"Mere?!"

Lin Xiu didn't care much and said, "You can't collect taxes yourself, so you have the nerve to say so!"

"Your Majesty worked hard and mobilized everyone, and even personally conscripted, why didn't you see your Shangshu come!"

Wang Hu was really stunned by these words and had nothing to say. He said angrily, "Your Majesty, the eunuch of the inner transport depot speaks so irritatingly!"

Lin Xiu's combat effectiveness is much stronger than Wang Hu's. Lin Xiu's quarrels with the foreign court are all straight to each other's heart, and they will match their expressions for fear of being too light.

That kind of three-point sarcasm, seven-point disdain and slap, made people's blood pressure drop, and they came up.

Moreover, Lin Xiu also specially wrote a "Book of Anger" about how to irritate people and make the courtiers lose their sense of proportion, so that later generations will know how to quarrel with these scholars.

Jin Lian never took part in quarrels, and Jin Lian was not too young, so if he quarreled with Lin Xiu, he might get angry.

Zhu Qiyu quickly stopped the quarrel between the two, and he asked curiously: "Didn't you fight when you were in the capital?"

Lin Xiu's eyes lit up. In terms of boxing skills, this Wang Hu is definitely no match.

Wang Hu was a literary scholar, and he sat down angrily and said, "Fisting and kicking are insulting to gentlemen."

Even Yu Qian laughed.

The Wenhua Hall is full of happy air.

Zhu Qiyu said to Wang Hu: "After this account returns to Beijing, we will slowly and carefully calculate it. Now we still have business to do."

"The resistance of Nanjing City on financial affairs is now mainly resistance to silver coins."

"They still hope that Yu Douhu, balance, talisman, and benevolence will still look like they used to be, and be firmly controlled by them. This is something I will never allow to happen."

"But the main use of silver coins is their powerful and powerful families. Do you have a good way?"

The idea of ​​the middle-aged man in the Jiawu room was to exchange his own copper coins for scattered silver taels on the market, and then use the scattered silver taels to forge gold flowers and silver.

The basis of imperial silver coins is Jinhuayin. Controlling Jinhuayin is equivalent to controlling the circulation of imperial silver coins.

This is the current dilemma.

The common people don't need silver coins with a face value of seven cents per cent, but copper coins.

This can be regarded as "be polite to common people" in financial affairs.

Common people don't need such a large denomination, one silver coin is equal to two thousand flying coins, and equal to seven hundred Yongle Tongbao.

That's why the person in the Jiawu Room said, let His Majesty try it out.

"Do you think the Daming Banknotes can be reissued?" Wang Hu raised a point and took out a few samples of banknotes.

The household department itself has a treasure banknote lifting department, with one lifting, one deputy lifting, and one history.

The Daming banknotes were completely corrupted, and the banknote lifting department gradually had only one person to lift.

But that doesn't mean they're out of power.

The struggle between imperial power and ministerial power has never stopped, and the Ministry of Households is also trying to find a way to regain the power that originally belonged to the Ministry of Households, the right to print money.

"I have summed up several shortcomings of Daming banknotes." Wang Hu said very seriously: "First of all, the banknote paper is easy to break, so the banknotes have to be replaced in a short period of time."

"Jin Shangshu asked the ambassador of the Banknote and Paper Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs to remake the banknotes."

"Banknote paper has been changed from grass pulp in the past to fine and soft cotton pulp, and hemp pulp is added to make it resistant to folding. It can be folded at least hundreds of times and nearly a thousand times."

"I suggest adding a cinnabar ribbon to prevent counterfeiting."

Zhu Qiyu took the banknote in his hand and rubbed it. It was indeed resistant to folding, with a cinnabar ribbon, because there was cinnabar in the pulp, which made the banknote red, and there were very clear cinnabar stripes.

Wang Hu continued: "This printing also uses gravure printing, using ink. When printing, the entire page is inked, and then the page is scraped to leave ink only on the graphic part, making it easier to argue."

"The ink is mainly made of pine smoke and colloid, which is not easy to fall off, and can be attached to the metal engraving, making it easier to print."

Zhu Qiyu stroked the surface of the board with his fingertips, and it was indeed uneven. He nodded and said, "This ink is good, and the engraving and gravure printing are also good, very good."

The overall banknote paper is still mainly embossed with ink, but in some places, engraved intaglio is added to make the banknotes more anti-counterfeiting.

Special paper, offset embossing, watermark, and ink are all the outstanding features of this precious banknote from the Ministry of Accounts.

Zhu Qiyu held it and looked at it for a long time. As far as the production process of this banknote is concerned, the Zimbabwe currency will cry.

In fact, even in later generations, there are not many countries that can print money independently.

For example, there is a banknote printing factory in England called Delaru Banknote Printing Factory, which has signed contracts with more than 140 central banks around the world. About one-third of the banknotes in the world are printed by this company.

The new version of the treasure banknotes is extremely exquisitely made, and the Ministry of Finance has put in a lot of effort.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The new treasure banknotes of the Ministry of Households are extremely exquisitely made, in line with the purpose of minting coins that are not exquisite, which is equal to not minting coins, and they have printed banknotes that are generally of general nature and have certain anti-counterfeiting properties."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that the face value has been greatly reduced. The largest one is only twenty copper coins."

Twenty copper coins are roughly equal to one catty of pork and one penny of silver.

The military pay of the Daming Beijing Camp is only one silver coin per month, which is two thousand copper coins, and about three cents of silver per day.

Zhu Qiyu highly affirmed the work of the household department, but he sighed and said: "But it can't be used, put it away in Xing'an."

Wang Hu blinked and asked dully, "Why..."

Wang Hu went to Nanya with the expectation of the household department, just to convince His Majesty!

Silver coins have a huge denomination and can be used for maritime trade, silver distribution, salary payment, and large expenditures, but they are still somewhat inadequate for daily use.

The Ministry of Household Affairs made a lot of investigations, and finally summed up the lessons of the failure of the Daming Banknote, and took out a banknote that His Majesty nodded in praise.

But why does His Majesty refuse to use it?

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to use it, the corruption of the Ming Dynasty's banknotes is shocking."

"In the 13th year of Hongwu, the method of reversing banknotes was established. Although the banknotes are broken and soft, they are clearly marked. They are not picked, drawn, and mended. Private trade and government courses are accepted and used. If the banknotes are faint, they can be stored in the treasury. Change."

"Since the 23rd year of Hongwu, when Emperor Taizu Gao dumped banknotes and stopped in May, Daming treasure banknotes are not even wiped buttocks in the hearts of the people!"

Why did Zhu Qiyu want to kill King Qin, King Zhou, and King Jin?
