Coinage is an act that symbolizes the authority of the state, and naturally only the imperial court can do it, although the Ming court did very unqualified in coinage and money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If the Sanjiang system wants to do something similar, it is too easy to be charged with crimes, so it is necessary to be flexible and find another way to blur the past.

First of all, the word "coin" cannot be used, but this is also simple, Wang Tong's initial plan is to use the unit of "two", silver half tael, silver one tael, silver five taels and silver ten taels, as well as gold two taels, gold five taels and gold ten taels.

Money, two, this common unit, but the whole Ming Dynasty because of different provinces, different measurement objects, and even different institutions that use measurement, there are countless different specifications of "two" and "jin." "What makes people laugh and cry is that the units of measurement of the two sides are different.

Of course, everyone understands that the more unclear the unit of measurement, the more opportunities there are for the parties to get their hands on it, but Wang Tong can't do this here, and the official exchange rate of gold and silver, gold and silver and copper coins are all fixed, which also has too many opportunities to exploit loopholes. Now because of the prosperity of Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion, as well as the convergence of several businesses in the north, a large number of gold and silver have infiltrated the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the price of gold and silver is constantly falling, if it is still carried out at the original rate, it is a joke.

Wang Tong first set a unified unit of measurement, and then used this unit of measurement as the basis to start minting coins.

Tianjin Wei's workshop is the first Ming to use hydraulic machinery, so many years down many Ming craftsmen are also reluctant to accept the Western kind of emphasis on numerical accuracy, everything has a fixed specification of the practice, accustomed to this rule, and in the Sanjiang system to get a rich reward, the wisdom of the Ming craftsmen enthusiasm was stimulated, immediately burst out of the energy of creation.

Now the hydraulic machinery has been greatly improved than ten years ago, whether it is from the structure or details, the merchant ships of Portugal and the Netherlands travel between the Ming Dynasty and Europe, there are several businessmen who are rich because of Tianjin Weicai, they also have a task is to regularly bring European machinery and all aspects of knowledge to the Ming Dynasty, so many years, there are also a lot of European craftsmen from Europe, the major powers of Europe are fighting, but this rich East has a great attraction, whether it is Arabia, Tianzhu, Nanyang, They are all too backward, but they are very advanced in this Ming Dynasty and have surpassed the level of Europe.

According to the craftsmen who came over and the people on the ship who went back and forth, the manufacturing industry of Tianjin Wei is now more advanced than that of Europe in terms of technology.

It is also with such a technical foundation that the minting can be carried out, the coin has a raised edge around it, the obverse is the value of the two italics of "Sanjiang" and the capitalized coin, and the back is the value of the four small characters of "Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country" and the Arabic numerals designed by Wang Tong himself.

These are nominally in circulation in Sanjiang Neishan, so there is no need to be too complicated in the father character, so as to make the father as clear as possible, and the weight of the coin is unified.

The exchange between gold coins and gold coins, silver coins and gold coins themselves, and the exchange between gold and silver and copper coins are different from month to month and month to month in today's situation.

At present, the places where the world's bulk gold and silver converge are nothing more than Beijing, Tianjin and Jiangnan, and Tianjin Wei and Songjiang are the leading places of these two.

With a clear understanding of the changes in the price of these two places, a relatively accurate exchange rate can be formulated as the benchmark number within the Sanjiang Commercial Bank.

However, it is not easy to quickly transmit the news from Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion thousands of miles apart, Wang Tong is a stupid method for this from Tianjin Wei to Songjiang Mansion, set up a post station of Sanjiang Commercial Bank along the road, quickly deliver news, set up a post station every dozens of miles, the post station is equipped with horses, the news is passed on at this station, day and night, if there is no natural disaster on the road, it can be reached within ten days.

How many post stations to set up along the way, how many people, how many horses, people's wages and forage, is really a huge cost, but now the Sanjiang system is also a big business, this cost is nothing compared with the loss caused by the exchange rate.

To mint coins, the machinery and venues and personnel of the coinage must be re-prepared, and the big Shanfen must be moved from Tianjin Wei, which is of great significance, for the sake of insurance, Wang Tong should put this by his side and manage it nearby.

No matter how you look at it, this coinage is a money-losing business, and it will take a lot of money to put it in, and when the Sanjiang system delivered this letter, it was also mentioned that the problem could be solved by making money tickets in a wider range, and Wang Tong still had to work hard and spend money to mint the coinage.

The coinage is of great significance, the Ming Dynasty industry and commerce explosion exhibition at the end of Tianjin Wei Kaihai, the total economic volume has been rapidly inflated, and the private copper coins of the sea lord and the Japanese country have not been able to meet the need, of course, it is indeed ironic to say so.

Although Wang Tong minted coins to the outside world is only circulating in the Sanjiang system, for the convenience of his own family, but in this situation, he started to do, the standard weight, fineness, and condition of the gold and silver coins on the shelves will immediately become one of the currencies in circulation, and the Sanjiang system network is everywhere, I don't know how many people in the world rely on this system to make money and live, they will naturally get used to these gold and silver coins of Sanjiang.

In the foreseeable future, not even a hundred years from now, ten or twenty years, or even less, such coins will be used to in the slightly larger cities of the Ming Dynasty, and the industrialists and merchants and the rich will also get used to this kind of coin, because it is much more convenient than the current copper coins.

Doing this, is equivalent to mastering the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, is equivalent to mastering the superstructure of the Ming industry and commerce, the Sanjiang system was originally a giant with an absolute advantage in the Ming Dynasty, if there is this system again, what does it mean, it is self-explanatory.

And to be able to do this, the fathers and officials of the court and the eunuchs of the inner court will not even be taboo and suspicious, they do not have this knowledge and can even say that they do not have this consciousness, they do not understand this aspect at all, if they understand, there will be no serious shortage of coins by now, to make privately minted coins popular, incidentally, privately minted coins are actually better than official coins.

In more detail, mastering the finance of the Ming Dynasty and mastering the superstructure of the Ming industry and commerce are of great significance, and the coinage itself is also very profitable in the long run.

Silver half taels, silver one tael to gold ten taels, this coin establishes credit, the value of the coin itself will be diluted, the value of the coin printed on the coin is his value, that is to say, credit is established, gold and silver coins may not be minted with a sufficient amount of gold and silver, can be mixed with a certain ratio of other metals, but there is the credit of the Sanjiang system, even if there are only three taels of gold in the gold five taels, he can still be traded as five taels of gold, the difference of a coin, think about how much money Sanjiang Bank wants to mint, How big will the total amount of this difference be?

As for the establishment of credit, this is not a problem at all for the Sanjiang system, and there is too much gold and silver in his hands, which is enough to cope with any degree of exchange and trading.

These are not things that can be done in a day, and it is already lucky to be able to do it in a year or two, but the money and silver tickets can be handled first, which is relatively simple.

The head office of Sanjiang Bank is located on the edge of the Liaoguo Mansion in Songjiang Prefecture, and the people in the Sanjiang system are accustomed to calling the Sanjiang Head Office, although this title is abbreviated, it also shows the status of the Sanjiang Bank, the original Sanjiang Bank, commercial banks, money banks, insurance banks, shipping houses, craftsmen and other industries are independent of each other's situation is over, and then they are all led by the Sanjiang Bank, worthy of the name of the head office.

There is a lot of news from the Jingshi, and what Wang Tong is most concerned about is that the Wanli Emperor reopened the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, and everything was carried out in accordance with Wang Tong's rules back then, and selected Jiangmen teenagers from all over Xuanfu, Jingjun and Jizhen to train with the Son of Heaven. But this is not the year, and Emperor Wanli doesn't have much time to be with the teenagers, he just goes once when school starts, and goes again in a few days, which is considered to be closer, and it is estimated that he will go once when he graduates.

In terms of instructors, the officers of the forbidden army and the martial eunuchs of the inner court are naturally selected, but the combat power of the Huwei Army is unparalleled in the world, so they will naturally not let it go, it is said that Han Gang, Li Hutou, and Ma Sanbiao were all selected as instructors and took turns to give lectures.

It is estimated that when these young generals graduate, they will also be arranged in the forbidden army, the Beijing camp and the Huwei army, but it is really hard to say how many hearts Emperor Wanli can capture with such training and such a degree of contact.

All the regiments of the Huwei Army have been dispatched, and according to the plan proposed by Wang Tong when he left, each regiment will be expanded locally, and then the border towns will be reformed, and the elite pacesetters in the hands of the generals will be retained, and the rest will be turned into civilian households, so that they can reasonably become tenants and long-term workers of the generals.

In fact, this kind of policy is very beneficial to the high-level figures in the border town system, which can be regarded as a pacification of the reform of the military town, but there are people who have benefited and those who have been damaged, and the warriors are not able to swallow their anger, and those who have suffered losses will have to make trouble.

Now this situation, if you want to go outside, there are still Tartars on the grassland, that is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so they have set off a rebellion in the local area, and the chaos is one after another, and the governors and governors everywhere are not very enthusiastic about the reform advocated by Wang Tong in the border towns, and they also have rich benefits in the current system of the border towns. For a while, there was some rumour.

Wang Tong's estimate of this matter is very comprehensive, otherwise he would not have been at ease and boldly went to the island for a "vacation" for a few months, and it turned out that his judgment was right.

Li Tao is in Shaanxi, Tan Bing is in Shanxi, Sun Xin is in Ningxia, the power of the merchants in Shanxi is very great, and the border towns are also inextricably linked with the merchants, several rebellions have not even waited for the officers and soldiers to go over to exterminate the crusade, they will fall apart first, or they will be defeated by the local businessmen Hao Emphasis on the collection of the township Yong regiment, there is no chance to expand at all, as for Ningxia, the largest in Ningxia is the Whee family, the Whine family has now been moved to the Naturalization City, and the rest of the people are not on the table, there are two just troubles, One Sun Xin led the troops over to exterminate it, but the other directly sent a letter to the firm, and the escort team of the firm's went over to clean it up.

The more troublesome is Litao's side, the so-called three sides of Shaanxi, among the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, there are three border towns in Shaanxi, Guyuan, Yanyu and Yulin, Shaanxi is also a self-contained place, and the forces are intertwined, because of this incident, it is really one after another.

Compared with Shanxi and Ningxia, Li Tao can get very little support in Shaanxi, and the situation is relatively difficult, but it is not unreasonable to put Li Tao in Shaanxi at that time.

Around the end of the year, he led the army along the side wall for ten days and four battles, continuously quelled the rebellion, beheaded almost 3,000 heads, more than 20 villages were razed to the ground, and the villagers in the village were moved to live in the inner 6, and the situation in Shaanxi was settled down at once, and Shaanxi was also peaceful for a long time.

Wang Tong has a judgment on Li Tao in private, Li Tao is the most cold-blooded of these generals in the Huwei Army, and the pursuit of power is also incomparable to others, and finally has a chance to go out of the town, he will definitely not ruin this opportunity in his hands.

However, Shaanxi is also larger than other places, and the situation is more complicated, and the rule of three regiments in each place is obviously not suitable, and there are already rumors in the DPRK and China that the forbidden army in Shaanxi has become four regiments.

The opening of the Liaoning side has already been carried out, but the local officials of Henan and Huguang who have the greatest opinions on the opening of Liaoning, and the written lawsuit has been fought for more than three months; the people in Liaoning and Beizhili and Beijing and Tianjin are one faction, Henan and Huguang are one faction, and the Shandong side is inclined to Henan and Huguang.

The reason is very simple, most of the people recruited in Liaoning and the pioneers outside Liaoning are poor people from these two places, and there are many in Shandong.

In the past, the local magistrate saw that there were so many displaced people missing, and the place was stable, that is, it was treated by default, but more and more people were recruited, and now the local powerful landlords and gentry began to worry about the problem of manpower, this situation is naturally to provoke contradictions, which is also the inevitable ...... in the big time exhibition, "Thank you for your subscription and monthly pass, thank you" Cangshan Xue, reply with heart, stupid bear, coffee m" Friends of the reward, thank you (to be continued)
