Chapter five hundred and nineteen silver coins
Chapter 519 Silver Coins
Moreover, the medical sciences in the Ming Dynasty were also extremely prosperous, and they were much more reliable than those Western doctors who performed surgery and bleed.
Wang Yue was so angry that she was made fun of by her beloved man that her face turned red and her ears red.
Yuan Keli was also very calm and sighed that it was difficult to govern the country, and it was even more difficult to be pioneering and enterprising. The plague spreads in Jiangnan very small, but the poor environment in the north and villages and towns will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, which is inevitable.
The outbreak of the plague on the scene accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which is also a fact. It is conceivable that after the plague spread to the north, there would be no peace in the northern provinces.
Wang Yue was very sad and gently opened her teeth and chanted a small song.
The cold sand is still filled with fog on the afternoon, and the bleak scenery is terrifying and 3rd of the month.
The new swallows are rushing to the ground, and people cannot help but remember the south of the Yangtze River.
Ma Cheng praised the tribute, and Yuan Keli was also very relieved, and he couldn't help but praise the beauty of Jiangnan. The two of them, one old and one young, were in love with poetry, songs and essays. After talking about the romantic relationship, it was time to get the topic.
The Dutch's five million taels of war reparations greatly alleviated the silver shortage encountered by the Taiwan government in its development. A large amount of cash in cash was put into warehousing and circulating, but it still could not fully meet the needs of the Taiwan government.
It can be seen how important is silver, it is to the development of the business of the Ming Dynasty, similar to the oil in later generations. Silver is the blood of the commercial circulation of the Ming Dynasty today and the special medicine developed by the Taiwan Administration. If the dilemma of silver shortage is not completely solved, development is an empty talk.
The commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty was too developed. The more developed the economy, the more silver it needed, but there was so much silver, so in the end, there was not enough silver.
Yuan Keli was extremely resistant to issuing paper money. Ma Cheng could only smile bitterly, knowing that the wise rulers and ministers were afraid of Taizu and his elders, so they had an instinctive resistance to paper money. Ma Cheng had to slowly enlighten and convince Mr. Yuan.
In economics, there is a proverb that sticks cannot defeat economic theory.
The popular meaning of this sentence is that no matter how awesome you are, you must follow the rules.
Taizu is a great man, and he has to follow the rules. Although he issued paper money, he printed it with 1,000 or 10,000 yuan. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, everyone has recognized silver, but they don’t recognize paper money. No matter how awesome it is, they are not.
Use. His Majesty Chongzhen wanted to provide disaster relief at that time, so how could he not want to provide disaster relief? The reason why the disaster relief failed was because there was no money, and the reason why there was no money was because there was no silver.
Ma Cheng couldn't convince Yuan Keli even after he had to talk to him, and even Wang Yue could not convince him. He had to smile bitterly and give up the idea of issuing paper money, and settle for the second best. He just issued gold and silver coins. This time, Yuan Keli reluctantly accepted it. He felt bitter in his heart, and
I don’t know how those time travelers did it, but they could issue banknotes with a wave of their hands and even issue military invoices. It’s ridiculous.
The Ming people do not even recognize the banknotes issued by the government. Can they still recognize your military tickets? There is no feasibility. If you forcefully issue banknotes, the people of the Ming Dynasty will most likely use copper coins, silver, or even
Bartering transactions.
The people of the Ming Dynasty only recognize copper coins, while the wealthy families only recognize gold and silver. However, they issue gold and silver coins. People, wealthy businessmen may be able to accept it. There are essential differences between gold and silver coins and paper coins. Silver coins were also found in the Ming Dynasty, and personal soldiers quickly carried them.
A box of Spanish silver coins came in, the main currency circulating along the coast.
The Ming Dynasty had silver coins circulating, which was amazing to Ma Cheng and was very eye-opening.
Spain made "double-pillar" silver dollars in South American colonies. It was circulated early and almost spread all over the world. The mythology was originally connected between Europe and Africa, but was later pulled away by the strongman Heglis. The peaks on both sides of Gibraltar are called Heglis.
This is the origin of the double pillars.
The double columns are irregularly round.
Macheng ordered people to conduct actual measurements on the spot, with a maximum diameter of 40 mm, a thickness of 27.07 grams, and a practical measurement of about 27 grams. The edge teeth are convex patterns with torch shapes and circles, including silver
About 10% of the "double pillars" were not minted in Spain. About a hundred years ago, Spain conquered Mexico, and then discovered a large silver mine and began to mint silver coins.
When Yuan Keli heard the Mexican silver mine, his eyes lit up and asked repeatedly.
Ma Cheng laughed. He tasted the sweetness of the colonial war. When he heard that there was a silver mine, his eyes shone.
For the Spanish silver coins circulated in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Fujian, and Haojing, and the silver dollars of various countries, Macheng's approach is to confiscate all the silver coins, and the circulation is prohibited very roughly. The currency will be circulated, and the settlement will be used in Taiwan-made silver dollars. Such a rough and savage approach
, it was completely unimaginable in later generations, but Ma Cheng did it unscrupulously, so what could it be? This is the arrogant style of having a powerful fleet and a powerful army.
I just want to confiscate Spanish silver coins and forcefully promote Taiwanese silver coins, but I will fight if I don’t accept it.
If you can't hold such a strong strength, if you can't be cruel, domineering and willful, you will be ashamed of the Kaiyuanzi and the Ming soldiers who have died in battle over the years. In order to fight against the Spanish silver coins that are widely circulated around the world, the newly issued Taiwanese silver coins
But we cannot cut corners, and we must make it in full. One-tenth of the silver content is enough to allow the treasury silver held in the hands of the Taiwan government to rapidly expand to solve the silver shortage facing Taiwan's development.
However, the Taiwanese navy was still unable to expedition to the Americas at this time. In the timetable of Macheng, the expedition to the Americas was ten years later.
It was agreed that the newly issued silver coins were made by the two governments and three officials of Taiwan.
With silver coins, we need to build a bank, a modern bank in the true sense. This matter is absolutely unhurried. This epidemic just calmed down the Taiwan government and entered a period of sedimentation. Officials of the two governments began to focus on managing internal affairs, which effectively avoided it.
The hidden danger of the huge Taiwanese mansion collapse due to excessive expansion.
April, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Nan Juyi returned to Taiwan to preside over the establishment of an official bank and minted silver coins and copper coins. At this time, he heard that the deputy general Ai Wannian was killed in Ningzhou. The news was reported by Fu Zonglong. Fu Zonglong met his immediate superior Hong Chengchou and the one holding five.
Chen, who was in charge of military power, was very dissatisfied and said that the two adults led the army to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall. The soldiers and horses of the provinces were in great suffering. However, the army gathered and it was only a matter of time before the bandits were wiped out. Several generals were killed and the deputy generals were again
What is it? The plague did not spread widely in the south. Instead, Fu Zonglong said in the letter that a plague occurred in Shaanxi, causing panic among all the soldiers.
Ma Cheng replied, asking Fu Zonglong not to resist the military order, and he could not let the two Shangguans pick out the mistakes.
As for epidemic prevention, Fu Zonglong is also a civilian official, and he will not be worse than the cavalry company commander.
At this time, merchants from all over the country had gathered in Kowloon, crowding the small water village. The rich and powerful could live in the water village. The fewer they could only spend the night in the carriage. Macheng did not expect that
There were so many people coming, so I ordered the mobilization of civilians and men to join the battle, build houses in Kowloon, and sell them to the public. A large number of Taiwanese civilians rushed to Hong Kong to build a large-scale construction, and the event was to be held perfectly.
In the villa where Macheng lives, there were long queues of scholars and merchants who came to give gifts every day. Macheng finally understood how Emperor Yang of Sui turned Yangzhou and Jiangnan into a paradise on earth. A great man who was fascinated by this place and came to speculate.
Shang was like a crucian carp crossing the river, endlessly, and it was impossible to stop it. Gifts filled the wing room and the yard, and even Wang Yue, the pretty lady, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "I've got rich, I've got rich." (I haven't finished waiting for it.
