"Master Ni, do you think this prince will be the one who harms the people?
Do you know how beneficial this banknote will be after it is issued?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, I really don't know the benefits of this banknote after it is issued. However, what can be confirmed is that the suffering that the people will suffer because of this is unimaginable!"
"In the past, there were various counterfeits in the treasure banknotes we issued, which directly led to the devaluation of the treasure banknotes. And when officials collected taxes, they did not allow the people to use the treasure banknotes!"
"Officials collected money from the people, and then exchanged the money for treasure notes and handed it over. In this way, they made a lot of money, but the court suffered a huge loss!"
"The imperial court has no money, so it can only continue to ask for it from the people. When will this vicious cycle end?"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan looked at Ni Yuanlu. The fact that this person could say these words showed that he still had a certain sense of responsibility for the people.
"Master Ni, you think of things in a simple way, but at the same time, you also think in a complicated way!"
"First of all, what I want to print is banknotes. Compared with treasure banknotes, there are still big differences. For example, these banknotes must be beautifully made!"
"The level of sophistication far exceeds that of some paintings. Secondly, these banknotes must have very high anti-counterfeiting marks, so even if you want to imitate them, you won't be able to do it!"
"Third, these treasure notes must have a certain value, so that the risk of those who counterfeit will increase. In this way, they will not dare to counterfeit!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, you don't know the methods of those people! But whatever technology you use to prevent counterfeiting, they can make it exactly the same!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about so many, just go ahead and make them. First! The denomination of these banknotes should not be too large, and they must be of a fixed amount!"
"As a result, if the amount is small, the risk will be greater when those people make fake products!"
Lin Fan said.
"Well! If the limit is fixed, and if the limit is not very large, this is a good way to control risks, but our costs will also increase!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Our cost will always be zero. After all, once banknotes are issued and recognized by the market, and our court has no money, wouldn't it be possible to print banknotes to tide over the crisis?"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
kindness!
Ni Yuanlu was stunned. His Highness the Prince actually had such an idea. This was a good method, but it was a bit unfair to the people.
Lin Fan also saw the hesitation in Ni Yuanlu's eyes, and he said: "The banknotes I asked you to make this time are not for the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"kindness?
His Royal Highness, if it is not for the people of the Ming Dynasty, then who is it for?"
Ni Yuanlu asked.
"Goguryeo!"
Lin Fan said.
"Goguryeo?
Do you mean to use these banknotes to buy things from Goguryeo?
Your Highness, please stop fooling around, they are not fools, how could they agree?"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"The army is pressing down on the territory, so they can't help but refuse to agree."
Lin Fan said.
Ding!
After hearing this, Ni Yuanlu's heart sank. Is His Royal Highness going to start a war with Goguryeo again?
However, this is a good idea!
It is more practical to control a country in terms of money than to directly send troops to garrison it.
"Your Highness, how far will this set of banknotes go?"
Ni Yuanlu asked.
"Of course, the more exquisite the better, this paper money is for you to practice. When the time is right, our Ming Dynasty will also use paper money!"
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! I will order someone to prepare it when I get back!"
Ni Yuanlu said.
"Well, do you know what to do?"
Lin Fan asked.
"This...the previous treasure banknotes are still kept by the Ministry of Revenue. I will use them for reference!"
Ni Yuanlu said.
"Wrong! Big mistake! The previous treasure banknotes must not be used anymore. Because of the small denomination, banknotes should be smaller and easier to carry!"
"Let's put it this way, if you put a bunch of them together, you can easily put them in your pocket. You can carry 10,000 taels of silver notes when traveling without any restrictions."
Lin Fan said.
"This! Your Highness, if that's the case, there will be very little content that can be written on the banknotes!"
Ni Yuanlu said.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes at him. This Ni Yuanlu is quite likable when she is smart. Why does she seem a bit stupid when she is not smart?
"Don't we have pens?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Yeah! That's right! We have pens in hand, so we can fill in a lot of content!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"After you go back, you should make ten sets, one cent, two cents, fifty cents, one cent, ten cents, twenty cents, fifty cents, one hundred cents. These are one set!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Eight kinds of banknotes are divided into one set and ten sets, which means that eighty kinds of banknote styles need to be designed. Because they are divided into ten sets, this means that each set should be similar.
You can imagine the difficulty of this. However, the person in their household department is responsible for printing, and the design is a matter of the ministry of etiquette. He only needs to make requests to the department of etiquette.
"I will try my best to inform the Ministry of Rites about His Highness the Crown Prince's request!"
Ni Yuanlu said.
"Well! You go down and do your work, and try not to delay too long!"
Lin Fan said.
"yes!"
Ni Yuanlu left the prince's residence.
Lin Fan continued to go back to accompany Nalan Yanran. After leaving the morning court the next day, Lin Fan went to the entertainment city in the capital to inspect!
During this time, the entertainment city in the capital was making less and less money, and Lin Fan suspected that the people in the entertainment city were playing dirty tricks.
"Brother, this entertainment city is full of smog. Do you need to come and check it yourself?"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan originally wanted to focus on cultivating Zhu Cijiong, so he would bring Zhu Cijiong with him for everything. For important things like coming to the entertainment city, he would naturally take him with him.
"Brother, you think this kind of place is filthy, but this kind of place also has the most money, a mixed bag of good and bad, and the most information."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"The most information?"
Zhu Cijiong looked at Lin Fan doubtfully.
"Did you see that man? He is dressed very luxuriously, but from his eyes, you can see the vague murderous intent!"
"If my guess is correct, this person should be carrying a murder case. Moreover, he has been wandering in the underground world all year round. If there is any major case and there is no clue, if you ask this kind of person, you will get unexpected rewards!
"
"Of course, the way to deal with such people is very simple and crude. Either give them money to buy them directly. If they refuse to accept the money, then be more ruthless, punish them, and then tell them the truth!"
Lin Fan pointed at the person in the distance and said in a deep voice.
