Don't look at what Lao Zhu is talking about now, it's just because he feels it. If there is a need in the future, Lao Zhu will regret it without any hesitation.
Lao Zhu was very satisfied with Han Du's performance. He had some patience and continued to listen to Han Du's explanation.
Seeing this, Han Du continued: "Your Majesty, there are tens of millions of households in our Ming Dynasty, with a population of nearly 50 million. Even many people in remote places are almost all bartering, and no one
Copper coins or treasure banknotes will be used. However, based on the current level of commercial prosperity in the Ming Dynasty, I have calculated that if there are only these treasure banknotes issued by the Bao Banknote Lifting Division on the market, they will not be able to meet the demand for trade at all, let alone start.
There has been a devaluation.”
After hearing this, Lao Zhu looked at Han Du unnaturally and asked in disbelief: "You mean you know that someone is printing treasure banknotes privately, not because of any evidence you found, but because of yourself?"
Calculated?"
When Han Du heard this, he was confused for a moment and nodded subconsciously.
Lao Zhu suddenly felt a panic in his heart. Why are there so many differences between people? How many people in the world should be issued with treasure notes? This can also be calculated?
"Your Majesty, I am..." Han Du was about to talk to Lao Zhu about how much treasure money should be calculated based on the living standards of the people and the total amount of supplies. Of course, this calculation can only
It is a rough calculation, and no one can calculate the total amount of materials in the world with extreme accuracy.
Because the total amount of materials in the world is not a fixed value, but a variable.
However, calculations like Han Du's can also roughly estimate the amount of treasure money required.
Before Han Du could finish speaking, Lao Zhu directly interrupted Han Du and said, "Just tell me, how many treasures were printed privately?"
Hearing this, Han Du nodded and said: "Based on my estimate, there should be no problem with the Ming Dynasty issuing 50 million Guanbao banknotes now, and it will not cause devaluation. Therefore, I believe that the privately printed Baoba banknotes will not be less than 20,000 yuan."
Thousands of dollars."
Han Du saw that Lao Zhu's face was getting more and more ugly, and his voice became lower and lower, "Of course, this is just my estimate."
No less than 20 million strings!
Lao Zhu's eyes widened with murderous intent!
The entire Fengtian Palace fell silent under the pressure of Lao Zhu's powerful momentum. Even Han Du could no longer complain and closed his mouth.
More than 20 million yuan, Lao Zhu felt sad when he thought that so many people's wealth had been robbed privately by borrowing treasure banknotes. He issued the treasure banknotes as a last resort, and even Lao Zhu solemnly stated that these wealth
He borrowed it from the people, and when he became rich later, he would repay it to the people twice as much.
But someone actually dared to embezzle the wealth of so many people and erode the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
Such evil deeds are simply complicity in rebellion!
Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair with a serious look on his face and asked: "So can't we issue new treasure banknotes now?"
Han Du nodded and explained: "Yes. The old banknotes are shoddy and have insufficient credit. I originally planned to gradually replace the old banknotes with new banknotes, in order to increase the banknote's credit and avoid the continued depreciation of the banknotes, which would cause harm.
To the benefit of the people. But now that someone is printing treasure banknotes privately, then my method will not work."
After a pause, he continued: "Because, no matter how many new treasure banknotes I print, others can print a large amount of old treasure banknotes and replace the new treasure banknotes in my hand. In this way, I have become a
The accomplices made the banknotes in the hands of those people turn from fake to real. I am afraid that not only will they not enhance the credibility of the banknotes, but they will print a large number of banknotes, which will lead to further devaluation of the banknotes and put the people at risk.
The wealth was looted.”
When changing currencies, the basic method is to exchange new currency for old currency, and in order to prevent the credibility of the currency from being reduced, a one-to-one exchange is basically adopted.
But now Handu cannot exchange it like this. If it is really exchanged on a one-to-one basis for new and old treasure banknotes, it will be handing over the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty to others. Nor can it be exchanged on a one-to-ten basis, or even one-to-one ratio.
If you do this, it will also be a devastating blow to the credibility of Ming Dynasty banknotes.
Without the credibility of the treasure banknote, what is the difference between it and paper?
"Therefore, I kindly request the emperor to suspend the issuance of new treasure banknotes until the person who secretly printed the treasure banknotes is found out before issuing them again."
"That's all it can do." Lao Zhu said calmly. Now he understood why Han Du brought the printing plate with him. Since someone was printing treasure banknotes privately, they had nothing to do with Han Du's new production of treasure banknotes.
It's impossible not to pay attention.
It was simply not safe for the printing plate to be placed in the banknote collection department, so Han Du had no choice but to send the printing plate to me for storage.
After understanding Han Du's intention, Lao Zhu continued: "You don't need to worry about the private printing of treasure banknotes. I will check it out personally. In addition, I will take care of the banknote paper and the guards of the Second Banknote Printing Bureau.
Even if Geng sends someone here, you have to think about how to ensure that the banknotes and the second banknote printing bureau are guarded completely."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Han Du was relieved when he heard that Lao Zhu had taken over the matter.
For those who dare to privately print treasure banknotes, it is definitely not something that one person can dare to do and be able to accomplish. This is at least the work of a big force hiding in the dark, and it is not known how big the involvement is.
Han Du was alone and weak, and could not cope with such a huge force. Only Lao Zhu, the founding emperor who sat on the dragon throne, had the ability to find out this force and uproot it.
Seeing that Han Du agreed, Lao Zhu continued to give instructions: "In addition, these printing plates will be placed here with me for now. After you have secured the banknote paper and the Second Banknote Printing Bureau, I will send someone to deliver the treasure banknote to you.
The printing cannot be stopped. Even if it cannot be distributed now, it must be printed and prepared first."
"Yes." Han Du agreed.
Waving his hand, Lao Zhu asked Han Du to step back.
After Han Du left Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair without speaking for a long time. The huge hall was extremely empty, with no one around.
No, there really was a person who silently walked out from the shadow of the dragon chair behind Lao Zhu.
In front of Lao Zhu, he knelt down silently.
The man was kneeling on the ground, not daring to say a word.
After a long time, Lao Zhu glanced at this person lightly and said softly: "You are somewhat self-aware."
Only then did this person reply: "I deserve death for my crime. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
It had been a long time since I heard Lao Zhu's voice, which made the people on the ground even more frightened.
