When talking to Su Kairong, Qin Feng would inadvertently sweep his eyes over Su Can, this white fat man, always looked like he was smiling there, not impatient, his appearance was really festive, Qin Feng couldn't tell if he was really laughing, but when Su Kairong sighed and shouted that the money was not enough, Qin Feng found that the corners of the white fat man's mouth twitched, and in just a short moment, a trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes at the same time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a calm man. Qin Feng said in his heart.

Hearing Su Kairong reprimand the fat man, Qin Feng smiled and held up a book from the case, "You wrote this money theory?" ”

Seeing the book Qin Feng was holding in his hand, the white fat man Su Can finally showed an unnatural look on his face: "Your Majesty, it was the grass people who pondered it blindly when they were fine, and when they wrote it, no one read it, and the grass people themselves paid for it and printed hundreds of copies, and sent them everywhere, estimating their final fate, I am afraid that most of them have entered the thatched house." I didn't expect Your Majesty to have one here. ”

"I've finished reading this book." Qin Feng looked at Su Can, "Deeply inspired, Su Can, you have also heard your father's remarks just now, do you have any different opinions?" ”

Su Can glanced at Su Kairong with some embarrassment, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't speak.

Qin Feng smiled and said to Su Kairong: "Su Shangshu, there's nothing for you here, you go first." ”

After making the eviction order clear, Su Kairong could only stand up and retire, turned around, looked at his son, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The fat man Su Can smiled and nodded again and again, but that perfunctory look was also seen clearly by Father-in-law Le on the side.

"Father-in-law Le, show Su Gongzi." Qin Feng said: "Make another cup of good tea, Master Su, your Lao Tzu is gone, now you can speak your mind." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Can didn't shirk it, he stood here for a long time, and his physique was really a little tired. "In fact, what my father said before was a bit one-sided, he was used to living within his means, and he always thought that the family had some surplus money, for a small family, it was not wrong, but for a country, it was a big mistake."

"Oh, what do you think of it?" Qin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, just like my father said before, the Ministry of Industry wants to build water conservancy, build roads, and renovate river embankments, and put forward a budget of tens of millions of taels of silver, which seems to be emptying the treasury all of a sudden, but from another aspect, if these tens of millions of taels of silver flow out, it can bring economic vitality to our Ming Empire, it is also extremely considerable!" Su Can picked up the tea and took a sip gently.

"I want to hear about it!" Qin Feng answered at the right time.

"Your Majesty, these 10 million taels, assuming that all of them are put into it, then at least 9 million taels will flow into the market, they will use it to buy all kinds of raw materials, to hire manpower, and the money will circulate like this level by level, in fact, every layer of circulation, the state can get tax revenue from it, even if it is labor, they get the money, they always have to use it, when there is no money, they can only tighten their belts, but if they use the money, of course they will use it, as long as they use it, the money will flow into the hands of the merchants, And we can receive taxes from merchants, so although on the surface, we invested 10 million, but in reality, our expenses are not so much. Su Can accentuated his tone: "The important thing is to flow, not to smash the money in your hands, it doesn't matter if you have a penny in the treasury, as long as the economic system of the whole country is running healthily and in a steady circulation, the money will make money." ”

"It's the first time I've heard this say, but it sounds reasonable." Qin Feng smiled and raised the money theory: "From your book, I also read the same argument. ”

"Your Majesty, I mentioned a kind of excess budget in the money theory, I wonder if you noticed?" Su Can put down the teacup and looked at Qin Feng with blazing eyes.

"See, for example, your father said that the income of our Ming Empire next year will be about 30 million taels of silver, so he will budget for next year's expenses to 30 million taels, and according to what you said, you can budget an extra four or five million taels." Qin Feng smiled, "That's what you say, right?" ”

"Almost, this kind of excess budget, it really is more complicated to say, especially it is more important to determine how much it exceeds so that it will not collapse, but Your Majesty, although it seems to be overspending, but the pull of the economy should not be underestimated! This kind of budget method is actually a kind of economic expansion policy, and if it is used well, it will inevitably make the country's economy vigorous. ”

Qin Feng nodded, "Although I have read the money theory carefully, to be honest, I haven't understood a lot of things in it, but I don't need to understand it too much, it's enough to know some, and you experts in the details of things." Su Can, I took a walk around the city a few days ago and found that in our Ming Empire, the most widely circulated is actually the copper coins of the Qi Kingdom, do you know what this means? ”

"Yes." Su Can nodded: "The quality of Qianyue's copper coins is too poor, in comparison, the cost performance of Qi copper coins is higher, Your Majesty may not know, Qi copper coins can only be exchanged for eight or nine hundred wen for one or two silver on the market, while Qianyue copper coins can be exchanged for 1,200 Wen, and the people generally do not have much cash in their hands, most of them use copper coins, but the government collects taxes, but it is also silver, this kind of price difference, the people naturally prefer Qi copper coins." In fact, this already shows that the monetary system of the former Vietnam is on the verge of collapse. ”

"And a large amount of silver will flow to the Qi country, which will eventually lead to a silver shortage in our Ming Empire, which is another kind of economic plunder." Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "So, I want to reforge the monetary system of our Ming Empire and abolish the money policy of Qianyue." ”

"Your Majesty is going to recast the Ming copper coin?" Su Can asked.

Qin Feng shook his head: "Even if we recast the Great Ming Copper Coins, I'm afraid that we will lose the competition with the Qi State." I'm going to do to issue a whole new monetary system. I am going to issue paper money as an alternative to the current metal currency. ”

"Banknotes!" Su Can stood up in shock, and the fat all over his body was trembling, "Your Majesty, the trouble is big, you must be careful and careful, if one is not good, this will cause a big incident." ”

"I know, that's why I'm so cautious." Qin Feng took a deep breath: "Since your Changlong Money Village can issue silver bills and circulate them throughout the country, why can't my Ming Empire issue a banknote similar to this kind of silver bill?" ”

Su Can swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wanting to say that these are completely different things, okay? But looking at Qin Feng's expression, he didn't make a sound in any interest.

"After reading your money theory, I have a little bit of a vague understanding of currency issuance. Your father said that we have a budget of about 30 million next year, so can we issue 30 million banknotes, and the treasury has these cash reserves for reserves, and this issuance is not too much, right? ”

After a pause, he added: "According to your theory of excess budgeting, we can even issue a few million taels more, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is theoretically true, but in history, it is not that paper money has not been issued, but without exception, it has ended in failure. This must be done with caution. Su Can said.

"I've learned everything you said." Qin Feng said seriously: "The reason for their failure, without exception, is that they print paper money indiscriminately and without restraint. My idea is to use gold and silver as the valuation model of paper money, and strictly control the amount of money issued, which can be overissued, but must be within the controllable range. ”

"And the national credit you are talking about is the most important thing, as long as there is no problem with the national credit, I believe that there will be no problems with our banknotes."

"Your Majesty, there are also the habits of the people."

"Habits are cultivated slowly." Qin Feng chuckled, "After the issuance of paper money, the state collects taxes, only paper money, all kinds of expenses, and only paper money, the salary of the army, and the salary of officials will be paid in paper money." In the future, the relevant purchases of the imperial court, including the various purchases of the army, could only be paid for with paper money. Merchants had to accept and use paper money to do these things. ”

Su Can was silent.

Looking at Su Can's expression, Qin Feng said: "Of course, this is just an idea of mine, Su Can, think about it, whether it is copper money or cash, it is not so convenient to use, there is no small amount of silver tickets, and the people have copper coins in their hands, and it is not easy to carry them at ordinary times. You should go back and think about it. I'm going to let you be in charge of this matter, you can organize an organization, find the right people you think are to prepare this matter, and do this thing well, and you will be the next head of the household. I can tell you that at that time, you, the head of the household, will not be the same as your father's. Are you ready to accept my appointment? ”

Su Can bit his lip and hesitated.

Qin Feng raised the money theory in his hand, "It can be seen from this book that you have great ambitions, I read from it, you actually want to build an economic empire, I provide you with such an opportunity, if you can turn all the ideas in this book into reality, then your economic empire will be considered a success, and my Ming Empire will also take advantage of this to stand out from the crowd, as you said in the book, the struggle for power will eventually be implemented into the struggle for money." A rich country and a strong army, in the head, is the word rich country. What I hope is that in the end, our Ming Empire will not only surpass the whole army in terms of force, but also our monetary policy and economic policy will be able to dominate other countries at will. ”

The fat on Su Can's face trembled even more, his eyes looked directly at the money theory in Qin Feng's hand, and Huo stood up: "Your Majesty, I'll do it." ”
