Xun Yu would never blame him for being able to joke and joke, but he never knew how to laugh, and he would never laugh out of control. This also had something to do with his life experience.
When he was young, he was the most troublesome child of the entire Xun family. He was extremely naughty and disobedient, but surprisingly smart. His elders could not deter him, and he was senior. Xun You, who was older than him, was his.
Xun Yu was a clan nephew, so Xun Yu was extremely arrogant, especially after following Emperor Xiaoxian. The two of them were even more lawless, causing trouble, and no one dared to provoke them.
Only the furious Emperor Xiaokang dared to beat these two people with wooden sticks.
However, as he grew older, Xun Yu gradually became steady and humble. His temperament was very much like that of his father. A humble and courteous gentleman, he would never do anything that was not in line with etiquette or law.
He loses his composure easily, and is usually so calm that it's a bit scary, but he is still very tolerant of his subordinates, and can even be considered to be indulgent.
"You're looking for me? What's the matter?"
Xun Yu asked directly, Liu Ba shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of the bank, I need help from the various governments and localities, but in the end, I couldn't find your father-in-law, and we were wandering around in the various governments all day long.
Go back home and talk?"
"Go directly to the Chancellor's Desk." Xun Yu said, and Liu Ba immediately agreed and followed Xun Yu. The two of them walked towards the Secretariat's Desk together. As they walked on the road, Liu Ba looked at Xun Yu's body from time to time.
The clothes were really dirty. Why did Xun Linggong dress like this? Faced with the strange looks on the street, Xun Yu didn't care. He called Liu Ba directly to his side and began to ask him about the bank.
.
"The so-called Qianzhuang is a new kind of Han institution. If you give it a definition, it must be similar to the national treasury. It has the function of storage. Everyone in the world can put money into the bank and store it. The bank is responsible for safety, and even
Give some discounts”
"Then what good will this do to the people?" Xun Yu asked.
"The benefits are great. First of all, it is a security issue. You are not afraid of being lost or robbed. In addition, we will build this institution in every corner of Han Dynasty. In other words, people can deposit and withdraw money in different places, such as a Yanzhou
People who want to go to Yuzhou to buy some specialties, do business, etc., but have too much money, can deposit their money in a bank in Yanzhou and withdraw it in a bank in Yuzhou."
"I understand, so what is the evidence?"
"Of course it is made of paper and a seal. As for this seal, I hope that the government can help and make it something that no one else can make. It can be used to identify the authenticity. To establish it, we need the help of many governments."
Liu Ba looked a little excited as he spoke. He still had other ideas, such as using this kind of voucher to replace paper. However, this was a bit shocking. He couldn't say it early, as it would scare others.
It won't be too late for me to tell you when the results of the matter come out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xun Yu asked: "What good will it do to the temple?"
"Hahaha, the development of various places and the policies of temples all require money. Can't the stored money be used for policy first? As long as not everyone comes to withdraw money, the bank will not collapse, let alone
, with the injection of money from the temple, even if the people want to withdraw it, there will definitely be no problem, Mr. Xun Ling, this can completely solve the problem of the empty treasury!"
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "But I always feel that we need to pay more attention to this matter, otherwise something big will happen."
"With me here, even if something happens, I will solve it. If it can't be solved, I will just carry it alone."
Liu Ba was a little dissatisfied with Xun Yu's behavior of pouring cold water on him. He opened his mouth to speak.
, this place is already quite depressed. After all, Xun Yu is different from Guo Jia. He does not handle so many things, so naturally he does not need so many officials.
After entering the Chancellor's desk and the study, the two of them began to talk formally.
"First of all, I need to know, whose idea was this? Whose idea was this?"
"Wenren Gong's."
"What??", Xun Yu was startled, and then said: "Wen Rengong has been dead for decades, don't use Wen Rengong to pressure me, tell the truth, who suggested this?", Liu Ba
After a moment of silence, he said: "Sikong Liugong told me. However, later I went to ask myself and found out that it was Shizhong Ling Guo Jia who really proposed it. However, this idea was mentioned in "Wenren Manuscripts"
"It has already been mentioned in "
"I suspect that he copied Mr. Wen's idea." Liu Ba said firmly.
Xun Yu lamented helplessly. He knew how much this guy admired Wen Renggong. Maybe Ma Jun was not as fanatical as him. "Then we have to ask the minister to come and communicate with each other.
Check for deficiencies and fill them up. You are trying to transform the national treasury. This is definitely not a trivial matter."
"But he plagiarized Wen Renggong!"
"I'll ask him to apologize to Wen Renggong!"
Liu Ba stopped talking, and Xun Yu called an official and said, "Go and invite Guo Linggong over. Tell him that I have something important here, and ask him to come immediately without delay." Hearing his words,
, Liu Ba looked a little helpless, as if he was worried about something. Seeing the way Liu Ba hesitated to speak, Xun Yu could already tell that he was hiding something from him and refused to tell him.
Suddenly, Xun Yu frowned, his whole person looked extremely solemn, and he asked coldly: "Liu Jun, I have always treated you as a friend, but on such an important matter, I don't
I hope you can hide something from me. If something goes wrong, or if you do something you shouldn't do, it's best to tell me. If I find out on my own, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to protect you and your family.
"
Liu Ba raised his head, a little confused, but said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Xun, when Mr. Guo comes later, you will also know that I asked the Gongfu to help make a special seal that cannot be copied by others.
There are other purposes as well, please tell me, Mr. Xun, please don’t panic."
"Well, it doesn't matter if you just say it."
"I want to set up paper money."
"Banknotes?"
"That's it. The certificate given by the bank can be used as an equivalent instead of copper coins. For example, I bought a wooden chair worth three hundred, and I only need to use the bank certificate for three hundred copper coins. Isn't that good?"
"In this way, the seller can also use the voucher to exchange for copper coins. If he is willing, I think the introduction of paper currency can greatly stimulate the economy and even plunder the outside world. As long as Han merchants insist on using this voucher,
Sooner or later, An Xi will deposit the money in our bank."
"If that vassal state refuses to obey, their economic lifeline will be cut off directly, and they will surrender."
"There are other uses. These days, I have almost gone crazy thinking about it and am sorting things out. Before the bank is officially established, I really don't want to reveal this matter too early. I'm afraid. Everyone will hear the news.
If you object in fear, even you, Mr. Xun, may be worried too. Of course, there are risks, but the rewards are also great."
Liu Ba said seriously, his face a little lonely, "I really don't want ignorant people to ruin these things. Mr. Xun, you don't know what kind of benefits my proposal will bring to the big man. I have given
Some close friends have said that they think I am crazy for talking about how paper can replace money. In fact, as long as it can be used as a proof of copper coins, let alone paper, even dung can be used as money."
"Oh, so in your mind, I, Xun Wenruo, am just an ignorant, ignorant, and pedantic minister?"
The emperor listens to you, Mr. Xun. If you object, this will never happen. I am worried about this, and this idea is indeed a bit scary."
Xun Yu smiled softly and said: "Speaking of which, aren't you still worried that I will object? Don't worry, I won't rush to express my opinion on things that I don't know about. You definitely know better than me in this regard.
If there are more, I will never interfere. If you want to establish a bank, I have no objection. As long as the emperor agrees, it is fine. As for banknotes, if Ma Gong has a way, I will not object."
Liu Ba was overjoyed. He stood up suddenly and said, "That's it, that's great. Thank you Xun Linggong! Thank you so much!!"
Looking at Liu Ba who was bowing to him, Xun Yu calmly asked him to sit down and said, "Don't be so excited. Let's discuss it together when Duke Guo comes."
They waited. After waiting for a long time, they heard the voices of the officials paying their respects. It seemed that Guo Jia had arrived. Liu Ba quickly stood up, but Xun Yu did not move. As expected, Guo Jia followed lazily.
Liu Ba came in from the door and greeted him immediately. Guo Jia glanced at him and didn't return the greeting. He directly found a chair and sat down.
"Tell me, what do you need my help for?"
"It's a bank matter."
"Qianzhuang," Guo Jia frowned and looked at Liu Ba, "Aren't you responsible for this?"
"Is it your idea to promote paper money?"
"What banknotes?" Guo Jia was confused.
Xun Yu looked at Liu Ba, and Liu Ba said what he just said one by one. Guo Jia pondered for a moment, trembling his fingers constantly, "This is a good thing, a good thing. If paper money is promoted, it will not only make it easier to carry."
It’s so simple and has more functions. The cost of copper coins is high, but paper money is not. The temple can have as much money as it wants.”
"No, if that's the case, promoting too much money will definitely cause serious damage. So what should we do?"
"What should I do if the production is simple but it is faked?"
"If countries other than the Han Dynasty do not recognize it, will it have a strong impact on the current trade of the Han Dynasty?"
Guo Jia suddenly started talking to himself, even asking and answering questions, without giving Xun Yu and Liu Ba a chance to speak. As he spoke, he started groping with his hands. After groping for a moment, he found nothing.
He stood up suddenly and said: "I will go back to my house to get some documents. When I come back, we will continue chatting. Please wait for me for a moment!!"
"Shua~"
A sword light flashed past.
Liu Ba was so frightened that he fell to the ground. At some point, Xun Yu had already stood up, holding a long sword with a cold light flashing. The long sword was pointed at Guo Jia in front of him. The cold light was shocking, and with the sword light just now
, the case in front of them was actually split directly from the middle, "Boom!!", the case was directly divided into two halves, neatly broken from the middle!
