"Liu Chun, how are you going to bring Suzhou back to life?" Zhu Biao asked lightly, but under the calm tone, there were turbulent waves, strong winds and waves.

Only when Suzhou is restored, can the benefits on the list become real money, eight million, or even more, for the sake of this money, it is nothing to bear some infamy?

There must be gains and losses, and only gains can be gained.

If you want money, don't be afraid of being scolded.

Zhu Biao is not a stupid person, in fact, not many people are stupid, it's just that everyone values things and adheres to different beliefs...... For example, Qian Tang, in order to maintain the status of Mencius, did not hesitate to risk his life to break into the palace, such as Emperor Jiajing, in order to be able to cultivate quietly, he did not hesitate to reuse Yan Song's father and son, and then Lao Zhu, in order to severely punish corrupt officials, he did not hesitate to make the torture of peeling the skin last.

Zhu Biao's question to his father is that he skinned people alive for a mere sixty taels of silver, is it too cruel? He even heard that some officials had to write suicide notes before going to court, fearing that they would never be able to come back.

Governing the country in this way is inevitably too harsh.

There are many complaints about my father below, and the gentlemen around me often advise me to govern the country with kindness and be a benevolent monarch through the ages.

Over time, Zhu Biao became what many people hoped for.

I have to say that education is really a very powerful thing, it can shape people's three views, and once it is formed, it is difficult to change.

No matter how much he tells him, it's useless, and Liu Chun doesn't think that he can speak like a spring, even if he says it well, what use can it be?

He just used the most tangible thing for Zhu Biao to choose.

Eight million, almost equal to a year's salt tax, can support the imperial court and fight two or three major wars. The dam of the Yellow River can be rebuilt...... It's a good feeling to be rich, even if you are scolded, you don't hesitate to do it!

Liu Chun is very pleased, at least Zhu Biao has not been washed into an elm braincase, knows where the interests are, and knows how to make trade-offs...... Liu Chun smiled happily: "Since His Highness has agreed, the restoration of Suzhou is in the blink of an eye." ”

Liu Chun is not bragging, Suzhou's foundation is too strong, and the period from the end of the year to the beginning of the year is not the peak season for handicrafts and agriculture, at best it only affects commerce.

Confidence is restored and everything will be fine.

Liu Chun first convened the merchants of Suzhou and held a three-day conference...... The scale is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and on the third day, I even ran to the square in front of the City God Temple, and it goes without saying that it was lively.

"Fellow villagers of Suzhou, the sage has given permission to make Suzhou the main place for foreign trade. An unprecedented opportunity is appearing in front of everyone, and this is a God-given opportunity for Suzhou to take off......"

In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, Suzhou's foreign trade was extremely developed, and the Shen family became super-rich by relying on foreign trade!

Today, many elderly people still remember the prosperity of the past.

Liu Chun didn't have much trouble talking to them.

The panicked hearts began to stabilize, and everyone had a vision for the future...... Someone wants to ask, the current is the banknote crisis of the bank, and now it is gone, what is the future to talk about?

This is just as ridiculous as the one who wants to say "how to sweep the world if you don't sweep a house", to do great things, you must have a long-term vision, if you waste time on sweeping the house, the cleaner you sweep, the farther away from sweeping the world.

Liu Chun's painting cake fills hunger, which obviously has an effect.

Originally, those creditors who forced debts to the workshop began to have a new plan and were willing to forgive a little time, and the workshop had a chance to breathe.

At this time, Suzhou Qian Zhuang also received capital injection from the Royal Bank and began to operate again.

Those workshops that were willing to sell their shares and accept help from banks were the first to get the right to exchange their banknotes. Liu Chun recycled the banknotes of Suzhou Qianzhuang at a ratio of one to two, and released new coins.

Frankly speaking, his exchange ratio is to take advantage of the Suzhou merchants.

But there was no way, if he let the Royal Bank suffer, the trouble would only be even greater.

There is no best of both worlds, so you can only take care of Lao Zhu as much as possible first, so that your father is satisfied. It's not that Liu Chun is filial, but if he doesn't do this, it won't work.

Of course, Liu Chun also has a lot of ways to help businessmen.

After getting the shares, these businessmen became semi-official businessmen, at least foreign trade businessmen who cooperated with the imperial court. After getting this status, Liu Chun began to borrow from them, and it was an ultra-low interest.

After getting the loan, the merchants came back to life and began to buy other merchant properties.

To put it bluntly, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the dried shrimp...... If no one's interests are harmed, how can they survive the crisis?

In this way, it took about half a month for the entire Suzhou trading house workshop to be reorganized by Liu Chun. About sixty percent of the big deals, important workshops, are included in the Royal Bank's system.

These commercial bank workshops naturally chose the Suzhou branch to open an account, and they deposited their capital in the bank.

The Suzhou branch, which has been taking out money, has finally seen the money back!

And with the first batch of deposits, gradually, the people of Suzhou also came to exchange and save money, and by February, the whole market returned to its former liveliness.

For spring ploughing, people flocked to Suzhou to buy seed farming tools, and the shipyard in Liujiagang began to recruit workers to build sea boats.

Various workshops compete to obtain foreign trade qualifications, and then recruit female workers on a large scale, purchase raw silk, roll up their sleeves, and do a great job......

In a short period of time, from heaven to hell and back up again, the changes are so fast that people are dizzying and jaw-dropping.

Finally, it's time to sum up the experience.

Liu Chun had to temporarily return to the capital from Suzhou, and together with the crown prince Zhu Biao, reported the situation to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, do you think the minister knows everything and says everything, or does he pick up what he can say?"

Lao Zhu glared at Liu Chun viciously, "You little rabbit cub, you haven't been scolded for a month, you have itchy skin, of course tell the truth!" Don't say a word! ”

Liu Chunxin said that if you want to hear the truth, then tell the truth...... Suzhou's problems, where is it, but also from the treasure banknote. Lao Zhu is a wealthy place in Suzhou, and discriminates against the people of Suzhou, after issuing treasure banknotes, he often buys and purchases goods from Suzhou, forcing the use of treasure banknotes in the Suzhou market.

The problem of treasure money was mentioned earlier, and Suzhou businessmen were clear about it.

They didn't have Liu Chun's ability to fool Zhu Yuanzhang into establishing a bank, so Suzhou merchants took passive measures, and some people used the form of barter, such as a load of salt for a piece of cloth, and two shovels for a pound of tea...... Of course, for large transactions, they still use gold and silver in private.

In fact, the regulations of the imperial court are also full of contradictions, such as stipulating that the market must use treasure money for transactions, but when collecting taxes, especially the salt tax, it is still stipulated that silver taels are paid, and corruption is also calculated in silver taels.

Therefore, the Hongwu Dynasty did not really ban gold and silver, and it couldn't do it at all.

The parallel circulation of gold and silver and treasure banknotes is the norm in the market.

It is undeniable that the rotten treasure banknotes have greatly affected the commercial development of Suzhou.

Li Shanchang chose to open a money bank in Suzhou, which was right in the middle.

In the short term, the rapid increase in the business of the money bank, resulting in the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, without Liu Chun's blow, Suzhou money bank would also have problems, but Liu Chun made the process many times faster.

"The core of the problem is that Suzhou needs currency, but they need a credit currency." Liu Chun smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, "Li Shanchang, as well as more than a dozen businessmen in Suzhou, can't give enough credit to the currency, and only I, the Ming Hongwu Emperor, can do this." ”

"Let Your Majesty save Suzhou, of course, you have to get enough appearance fees, otherwise Your Majesty's efforts will not be in vain?" Liu Chun smiled and sent a bunch of letters of appointment to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, these are two parts, one of them is the acquisition of thirty percent of the shares of the Suzhou business workshop, which adds up to about eight million yuan, which Your Highness must have told Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted vigorously, "What, in addition, there is a gain?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Royal Bank has merged Suzhou Qianzhuang and opened a branch in Suzhou, and the business has multiplied, and the Royal Bank is no longer what it used to be. This is the minister's valuation of the Royal Bank, please take a look at it! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand trembled a little, and he read it from Liu Chun's smile, this must have been a result that made him jaw-dropping......
