Chapter 1023 Prelude to the Reform of Treasure Banknotes
"Youyou, Xiaoyouyou!"
Xie Jin held his little grandson and was so happy that he looked like an old naughty boy.
This is next door to Hu, and the iron stove is burning in the room, warm.
Xie Zhenliang rubbed his hands beside him, and he wanted to hold his son, but his father was so proud that he didn't dare to go and fight.
Xie Jin teased for a while, but the newborn didn't give him face and kept sleeping. He handed the child to Xie Zhenliang and said, "The child's nickname is Youyou, you should understand what it means."
Xie Zhenliang took the child and said, "Father, he is slow and happy."
"Um!"
Xie Jin never doubted whether he was smart or not. He said: "I was very proud of my father for half his life and saw through the struggles in the court. I hope I am happy with mountains and rivers in this life. As for the future, my family is naturally not a fool, and I will move when I see it."
This was the way to explain the Xie family's future, and Jie Zhenliang hurriedly held the child and responded.
"Father, my children were used to the warmth and warmth of human nature in those years and just wanted to teach in the academy."
Jie Zhenliang is the truth. After seeing the storm of the capital, he was tired of power and intrigue.
Xie Jin nodded and said, "Actually, after the prince ascended the throne, you can naturally show your strengths. However, the court is changing so my family should be quiet for the time being. Just wait for him to grow older and teach him for his father."
As a grandfather, I always hope that my grandson can avoid the mistakes I have made. This is human nature and will not change because of how high the grandfather's former status was.
"Is Mr. Xie here?"
Xie Jin cut off his thoughts and said, "Here."
Outside the door was Madam Qin, and she said, "The master said that our two families have a life-and-death relationship, so we don't care about anything that can overshadow the enemy. The master asked Mr. Xiaojie to prepare for the full moon, so don't be embarrassed. They are all family members. The master said that he has experience in this matter and asked Mr. Xiaojie to take time to go there."
...
The big market is still a big construction site. After the first phase of the shops and warehouses were pre-ordered, Xia Yuanji's enthusiasm burst out.
"It must be fast and repaired well, and no one can criticize you!"
People from the Ministry of Works are supervising the construction, and Xia Yuanji's appearance is strange. Everyone thinks that this Ming Dynasty's money bag is not trying to change careers to the Ministry of Works to work.
"Mr. Xia, we Lord Shangshu has explained this matter, so we should not neglect it. Besides, you also know that pre-orders are all powerful people, so how dare we do it nonsense!"
The official from the Ministry of Works assured with a wry smile.
Xia Yuanji nodded: "That's good. Come to the first issue first, and wait until those people make money before the second issue. This is very safe."
There were people in front of them on the flat ground, and several people pulled up the stones under the wooden frame and put them down, which made the ground pound.
Someone transported stones to the right, which was used to cover the ditch.
A child was holding the corner of a woman's clothes with thick hands and feet, following along the ox cart. Although the weather began to warm up, there were still two snots under the child's nose, which were sucking from time to time.
Looking at me, I saw that there were people in my sight, and the dust was flying.
This kind of scene is the most exciting thing. Xia Yuanji asked about the food and treatment of the villagers, and finally told them not to bully them, so he went to the palace.
Zhu Di's face had a little more wrinkles, and he still looked majestic.
After the ceremony, Xia Yuanji introduced the general fiscal expenditure this year, among which the conquest of Myanmar was an unexpected expenditure.
"...Your Majesty, you cannot make a profit by relying solely on the pre-sale market, but there will be fixed rental income every year since then, which is considered an unexpected fortune in the court."
Zhu Di nodded, not that resistant to Fang Xing's "scam".
"The production of glass and mirrors has been successful. I am going to call a group of merchants to discuss the sale. By then, the expenses on the other side of Myanmar will not be worth mentioning."
Xia Yuanji seemed full of confidence. He had never been so rich.
Zhu Di frowned and said, "Didn't the Ministry of Revenue sell it itself?"
Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although the Ministry of Revenue's own sales profit is higher, the Ministry of Revenue cannot set up a special yamen for this purpose. That is not a long-term rule. Moreover, merchants have the convenience of circulation, so that some profits will be more conducive to the sale of glass and mirrors."
Zhu Di didn't understand this, but Xia Yuanji's financial management skills were worthy of his trust. But when he thought of Fang Xing, Zhu Di asked: "The story of Glass Xing and Bo have any complaints?"
Your Majesty, you used the price of issuing physics books and made glass and mirrors. This is too cheap, right?
If it were someone else, there would be resentment, but if Fang Xing was awake, Xia Yuanji would not.
"Xing and Boyu have achievements in money, but they are not obsessed with it. They can be called gentlemen."
Fang Xing has No. 1 and Sihai Market, and Sihai Market has its own shares in the Donggong, so Zhu Di knows how big the profit is.
The first two companies in the north and south have enough money to make in a year.
"Then let's do it early. By the way, what did the Ministry of Revenue think about the exchange of treasure banknotes for silver?"
Xia Yuanji's body tightened and he pondered: "Your Majesty, this is a good strategy, which is enough to make the Ming Dynasty's money circulate without worries. But I am still a little worried, worried about the world's reaction!"
Zhu Di heard Xia Yuanji's unfinished words: powerful and wealthy businessmen!
Both of these people have gold and silver in their families, and even their transactions are made of real gold and silver. If gold and silver transactions are strictly prohibited and treasure money is allowed to be exchanged for silver, what will they react?
Zhu Di was also thinking about this, and Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, Xinghe Bo proposed to be piloted in the three places of Yingzhou, Korea, and now it seems wise. He has accumulated a lot of experience and can be used for this."
What experience?
Killing experience!
North Korea is fine. Once it is conquered, as long as it is given a bowl of rice, the people below will naturally calm down.
Jiaozhi was second, but hundreds of people were exiled!
The one who resisted the most fiercely was Yingzhou!
In Yingzhou, not only the original powerful and new powerful people were unwilling to turn the gold and silver into paper money, but many people below were also unwilling to do so.
So killing and exile inevitably happened!
Zhu Di's eyes were cold: "I heard that most of the labor service in various places has been stopped? This is very good. It is time for the people of the Ming Dynasty to cultivate and rest."
Xia Yuanji shrank his neck and felt a little cold.
"Prepare, first figure out how to implement it, and then report it to me."
Xia Yuanji bowed and responded, and Zhu Di added: "Call Xing and Bo, he has many ideas!"
Xia Yuanji almost burst into laughter. This was a sequelae of pre-sales in the big market, which made Zhu Di think Fang Xing’s mind was flexible and he would be lie without blinking.
...
"Let me go? Isn't this a mess?"
Fang Xing felt that the matter should be led by the Ministry of Revenue and assisted by various departments.
"I'm just a idle fellow..."
Chapter completed!
