Two hundred and thirteen chapters draw from the bottom of the pot
Under Lao Zhu's oppressive eyes, Han Du replied vaguely: "Oh, it's not very high anyway. If the emperor can give me two hundred thousand taels of silver, I am sure that I will fight to kill those privately printed treasure notes."
people."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu was shocked and looked at Han Du absentmindedly. Although two hundred thousand taels of silver was a lot, it was nothing compared with the treasure notes privately printed by those people.
You must know that according to Han Du's calculation, those people secretly printed at least 20 million to 25 million taels of treasure banknotes. Calculated based on 20 million taels of silver, 200,000 taels of silver is only one hundred and one of them.
So what Han Du meant was that the cost of the mirror was only one hundred and one?
Lao Zhu lost his voice for a while, and after he came to his senses, he asked sharply: "Tell me, what is this mirror of yours made of?"
Han Du hesitated, but was finally defeated by Lao Zhu's sharp eyes like a sword.
"Sand, sand..."
Sand? That’s it?
Lao Zhu's face darkened. He didn't believe that a mirror could be made from just sand.
"anything else?"
"There are also some things that I have prepared."
Is this right? Lao Zhu nodded when he heard this. If there is really only sand, how much money can this mirror be worth?
"So, what do you want?" Lao Zhu guessed Han Du's thoughts and asked tentatively.
Han Du nodded and said: "What I want to do is to use the mirror to recycle the treasure notes issued before. Even if a mirror like this is sold for fifty coins, those who can afford it will definitely go crazy.
As a result, a large amount of treasure banknotes will inevitably flow back into our hands, and the number of treasure banknotes on the market will decrease. By then, it will be clear where the treasure banknotes are being privately printed."
Apart from the imperial court and those who privately print treasure banknotes, there is no other source of treasure banknotes. Currently, the number of treasure banknotes circulating in the market reaches 40 to 50 million yuan. Those who privately print treasure banknotes release four or five treasure banknotes every year.
When millions of coins are put on the market, it is difficult for the court to find the source of these treasure banknotes. But as long as the treasure banknotes on the market are recovered by Han Du using mirrors, and the court has stopped issuing treasure banknotes, once the treasure banknotes begin to decrease, then as long as
If those people dare to continue putting treasure banknotes on the market, then it will be much easier to trace the source of the sudden increase in treasure banknotes.
Originally, Han Du thought there would be no problem in doing so, and Lao Zhu would definitely agree.
Who would have thought that after listening to Han Du's words, Lao Zhu frowned and said, "In this case, what about those people who buy mirrors? If they spend a lot of money to buy such a low-cost mirror, won't they suffer a loss?"
Now you know that people who buy mirrors will suffer a loss? Then just now you thought ordinary people could buy them.
Han Du explained helplessly, "There is nothing we can do about this, so I sold the mirror at a higher price. The purpose is to prevent ordinary people from buying it and causing unnecessary losses. I can spend fifty guan to buy it."
As for the people in the mirror, they don't rely on these fifty strings to save their lives. Even if they lose everything, they can still afford the loss."
Lao Zhu nodded and felt that this was what Han Du said. Since they could all spend fifty coins to buy a mirror, they should be wealthy owners and would not cause any big problems. Unexpectedly, Han Du
The purpose of raising prices is to exclude ordinary people. Lao Zhu couldn't help but glance at Han Du. This guy could solve a big trouble with one unintentional move. What other unknown abilities does he have?
However, Lao Zhu's frowning brows still did not relax. "Then..." Lao Zhu hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Then those who privately printed treasure money, who left the mirror in their hands?"
If they suffer a loss, what if they transfer the mirror to someone else? What if they keep real money in exchange for it?"
Han Du thought about it carefully and finally explained: "Your Majesty, now the treasure banknotes have depreciated a little. When we start to use mirrors to recycle the treasure banknotes. At that time, as the number of treasure banknotes on the market decreases, the value of the treasure banknotes will inevitably rise to
It will be equal to the face value. At that time, the emperor can issue an edict to prohibit gold and silver transactions. Then no matter how much gold and silver those people hold in their hands, they will not be able to spend it, and it will be worthless."
"But I remember you said that the best credit of treasure banknotes is that they can be directly exchanged with gold and silver. So what if those people use gold and silver to exchange for new treasure banknotes? Isn't this impossible to find?" Lao Zhu thought in his mind
Still have doubts.
Han Du was very confident about this and explained with a smile: "If those people dare to do this, then they will fall into a trap. If it is a small amount of exchange each time, then we may not notice it. But in this case, then
It requires too many people to participate, and when there are more people, it will be impossible to keep the secret as tight as now, and there will definitely be flaws exposed by then. And if a large amount of treasure banknotes are exchanged in a short period of time, haha, then
It’s simply a self-inflicted mistake.”
And there is one thing that Han Du didn't say, that is, he hopes that someone will use gold and silver to exchange for new treasure banknotes. The more he exchanges, the happier Han Du will be. Because if he doesn't exchange the same treasure banknotes, it will be useless for Han Du to use them.
A piece of paper can easily be exchanged for a tael of silver.
This is simply faster than robbing people to get money.
There is nothing better than being able to take real money from other people's hands with a piece of paper. Some people may think that even new treasure banknotes require manufacturing costs. But this
How much does it cost? Right now, I'm just trying to make a few on a small scale, and the cost isn't that high. If we really need to print in large quantities in the future, the cost will be even lower.
In fact, in Han Du's heart, as long as everyone in the world uses the new treasure banknotes, Han Du doesn't care whether those who secretly printed the treasure banknotes can be caught.
As long as Handu continues to improve the production technology of treasure banknotes so that those people cannot forge them, no matter how much money they made from privately printing treasure banknotes in the past, they will all spit it out one day.
It's a pity that Lao Zhu doesn't think like Han Du.
When I heard that Han Du had a perfect way to deal with those people, I was very happy, and the worries in my heart finally came to an end for the time being.
As an emperor, Lao Zhu resented people and things beyond his control the most. These people were able to secretly print treasure banknotes for so many years. There must be more than one person involved, and maybe a huge gang.
How can one sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Such a group of people has been hidden under Lao Zhu’s nose for so many years. It would be strange if Lao Zhu was not afraid. Originally, when Mao Xiang checked for several days and found no clues, Lao Zhu
Although he did not blame Mao Xiang, alarm bells were ringing in his heart. He had been secretly guarding against this secret force.
