Who said that Lao Zhu is a farmer and doesn't understand the economy, if you come out to the master, I promise not to kill you!

Liu Chun speculated about many situations, Lao Zhu might ask about the steel mill, maybe he would ask about his teacher, maybe he would ask the Northern Yuan Emperor, maybe ...... It's just that there are so many possibilities, Lao Zhu put them aside and went straight to the treasure banknote!

It's really a sword to seal the throat and go straight to the point!

Daming treasure banknotes are issued from the eighth year of Hongwu, and the denomination is divided into 6 kinds, including consistent, 500 Wen, 400 Wen, 300 Wen, 200 Wen, and 100 Wen. Banknotes have always been converted into 1,000 cents, 1 tael of silver, and 5 cents of gold, and used in combination with copper coins. In the tenth year of Hongwu, it was stipulated that commercial taxes should collect money at the same time, collect money in 30%, collect money in 70%, and use money for transactions of more than 100 wen and less than 100 wen.

Lao Zhu also stipulated that if you report counterfeit banknotes, you can get a reward of 250 taels of silver.

It can be seen that in the market, treasure money and copper coins go hand in hand, and some large transactions, rewards and rewards, including gold and silver.

From the very beginning, Liu Chun was extremely repulsive to treasure money.

Without him, this thing is too depreciated.

He does business, the profit is so much, if he uses treasure money, a year, he makes 10% of the profit, maybe it is not enough to depreciate the treasure banknote, use treasure money to settle, not to mention that he has to lose money at all.

Of course, he couldn't say that directly.

"Your Majesty, money and money go hand in hand, and the minister thinks it's easier to use gold and silver!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is not stupid, "The fineness of gold and silver is different, and the discount is troublesome." Far less convenient than the treasure banknote, I issued the treasure banknote, but also for the convenience of the people, you abandon the treasure banknote, is it not to turn the Daning Dusi into a foreign place? ”

This old peasant-like Emperor Hongwu is really scary when he gets angry!

What does Zhu Yuanzhang look like, there are two completely different versions in later generations...... So what does this Hongwu Emperor look like?

Let's not talk about anything else, Queen Ma, as Guo Zixing's adopted daughter, can be willing to marry the hairy boy Zhu Yuanzhang...... Although Queen Ma doesn't necessarily only look at her appearance, if Lao Zhu is full of pockmarks and has a strange big chin, can Queen Ma look down on him?

And don't say anything else, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, these princes and grandsons, all look majestic and chic, none of them are ugly, will it be ugly to be a father?

Even if he is old, Lao Zhu is quite solemn and full of momentum.

Questioned sharply, which made Liu Chun's heart tremble, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, you must know that even if it is a noble prince, Lao Zhu will kill if he says it, and he is not ambiguous.

The crown prince Zhu Biao, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Father, Daning has just been attached, and Hu and Han live together, and it is indeed a place outside the world. The treasure money couldn't accept it for a while, and it was understandable, Erchen thought that Liu Chun was right! ”

"Shut up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "Don't think I don't know, this kid sent you a writing book, and you always help him speak." The prince of a country, you are too easy to be bought, right? ”

Zhu Biao was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak for Liu Chun anymore, his father is really amazing, how can he know everything!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to Liu Chun, "I am not an unreasonable person, if you can tell the reason, I can be forgiving, if you can't say it, I will send you to Pichang Temple!" ”

It's so ruthless!

Liu Chun is extremely proud in his bones, even in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is strong when he is strong!

"Your Majesty, one of the minister's division commanders once said...... Paper money is inexpensive, but it is just a piece of colorful paper, how can it be used as a gold and silver coin? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Are you taking the test?" ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Chun said loudly: "The division commander once said that paper money can be valuable because of empowerment...... During the Northern Song Dynasty, merchants invented Jiaozi, which was one of the major merchants and used their own wealth as a guarantee. Now the Ming treasure banknote is issued by His Majesty's order, and the treasure banknote lifting department of the imperial court is responsible, which can be seen that His Majesty uses his own credit authority to empower the treasure banknote, in other words, the treasure banknote is related to His Majesty's face and credit, and it is also the embodiment of the majesty of the imperial court. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang still had a calm face, "Don't say this nonsense, since you know that it is used by me, why don't you use it?" Do you think my face is worthless? ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood...... The minister felt that it was precisely because it was about His Majesty's face that he should find a way to take care of it with his heart to avoid the depreciation of the treasure banknote! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "Listen to what you mean, is there a way to keep the treasure money stable?" ”

Unconsciously, Lao Zhu's tone had softened a little...... That's right, over the years, the treasure money has been depreciating and has been spurned by the market, and Lao Zhu also knows it, but he has no good way.

"Come, I'll hear what you have to say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang casually found a stone to sit down, Liu Chun naturally had no place to sit, so he could only squat down, "Your Majesty, if you want to keep the value of the treasure banknote stable, the best way is to link it to gold and silver, as long as it can be exchanged for gold and silver, the treasure banknote will naturally be valuable!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "The world has just been peaceful, and the treasury is not sufficient, especially the lack of gold and silver...... If I am not short of gold and silver, why should I issue treasure money? ”

Judging from Lao Zhu's question alone, this Hongwu Emperor is clear about the matter of the banknote law...... Although Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background, he was very studious, especially after becoming the emperor.

Writing poems, writing articles, and even calligraphy is unique!

The sentence "The golden cup is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiven", in the works of the emperors of the past dynasties, it is also a domineering leader.

Yoo Chun knew that he had to come up with something real.

"Your Majesty, there is a second suggestion here...... The minister felt that the treasure money was missing a link. ”

"What's the link?"

"Recycle old coins!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, there really isn't!

Lifting the treasure banknote division, there are departments for making paper, printing, and issuing below, perhaps in the eyes of Lao Zhu and the princes of the dynasty, the money is issued, so why bother to take it back!

"Your Majesty, treasure banknotes circulate all day long, and even if you are careful, you will inevitably be damaged. Due to the lack of recycling, the more seriously damaged the treasure banknotes, the more frequently they are used in circulation, which is the so-called bad money driving out good money. Over the long run, the old and the new are mixed, and the number of treasure banknotes on the market is out of control, and naturally, there is a problem of depreciation. ”

Liu Chun said: "Your Majesty, there is another point, the treasure banknote has been issued for more than ten years, not to mention that the original treasure banknote is seriously damaged, many anti-counterfeiting methods have been cracked, and there are a lot of fake treasure banknotes on the market, which has aggravated the depreciation of the treasure banknote." ”

"The minister thinks that His Majesty should order the treasure money department to constantly study new anti-counterfeiting methods and bring forth the new...... At the same time, some of the old fried money can be recycled, so that the value of the treasure banknote can be temporarily stabilized! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought thoughtfully, "What should I do for a long time?" ”

"Of course, it is necessary to increase gold and silver reserves, which is the cornerstone of the currency. The lack of gold and silver in the Central Plains is well known. But there is a lot of gold and silver in Liaodong, and His Royal Highness King Yan has discovered several gold mines, with an annual output of 5,000 taels of gold! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang groaned: "Liaodong is bitterly cold, even if there is a gold mine, it is not easy to mine!" ”

"Your Majesty can send prisoners to Liaodong and let them pan for gold for the imperial court to atone for their crimes!" When Liu Chun said this, his heart rose to his throat.

He's really daring.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time, Lao Zhu also planned to ask for guilt. Liu Chun dared to fool.

What a prisoner is assigned to pan for gold!

What if you can't find a gold mine! Even if you find it, you won't need so many people, what should you do with the extra people?

Of course, it was handed over to him and used to develop the tuntian!

The little "talent" in Beiping Prison alone can no longer meet Liu Chun's needs, and he urgently needs to open up new sources of goods...... Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his beard thoughtfully.

"If there is really a gold mine in Liaodong, it is a gift from heaven. Prince, you take this kid back, write a detailed excerpt and hand it to me. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Biao took Liu Chun and left the Imperial Garden...... After Liu Chun was sent away, Princess Hanshan appeared with a smile again, patted her slap and smiled: "Father is so good, Pei Sheng is safe!" ”

The little princess's words instantly reminded Lao Zhu ...... How could you let that kid go so easily? He's done a lot of bad things!

I haven't had time to interrogate yet, am I also confused?

Zhu Yuanzhang began to doubt himself......
