The old beauty of later generations, through guò control zhì finance to control zhì the whole world, the importance of the financial system, you can't describe it too much.

To complete the industrial revolution, in addition to primitive capital accumulation, a relatively complete financial system is needed to support it.

If, like Zhu Hongwu, the copying method changes again and again, and every time it changes, hundreds of people will go bankrupt, not to mention the industrial revolution, it is already a great luck that the country will not collapse.

At present, the currency circulating in the market is very complicated, there are copper coins of the Ming Dynasty, there are silver of various colors, there are copper coins, paper money, checks, and silver bills issued by private money banks, etc., the specifications are different, the circulation is chaotic, the conversion is cumbersome, and the people have great grievances.

Before he ascended the throne, Qin Mu tried to issue a million banknotes, hoping to unify the currency of Daqin and improve Daqin's financial system.

But now it seems that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Improving the financial system is not so simple.

Xu Yingjie, the left attendant of the household department, said: "Your Majesty, the one million banknotes that have been issued cannot be abolished in any case, and the mistake of Ming Hongwu issuing treasure banknotes must not be repeated." ”

Liu Boquan also nodded and said: "If the reputation is to be established, it is not an overnight effort, but it is very easy to destroy it, and the minister also thinks that no matter what, it must be persevered."

In order to prevent the people from suffering more exploitation, after the original issued banknotes were returned to the hands of the imperial court, when they were re-issued in the future, they only needed to be consciously placed around the capital.

At present, the bank outlets around Nanjing basically cover the prefectures and counties, and the people can go to the bank to exchange huàn more conveniently, and the depreciation is relatively small, and it is easy to supervise. ”

Yang Chao said: "As for the issuance of some other banknotes that are restricted from circulation, the minister thinks it is feasible, but the number should not be too large. Or in line with the principle of slowing down, wait little by little to establish the credibility of the banknotes. ”

Xu Yingjie added: "The imperial court can link paper money to salt quotations, stipulating that when salt merchants pay salt money to the official salt farm, they must pay all or part of the paper money, so that when they sell salt, they must collect more paper money, and the big salt merchants will ask the small salt merchants for it, and the small salt merchants will take the initiative to ask the people for it." ”

Liu Boquan said: "This is a good idea, salt is a necessary item for every household, as long as the salt merchant takes the initiative to ask the people for paper money." The people don't worry about the uselessness of paper money. ”

Qin Mu agreed, but there must still be problems with the specific implementation. After all, what is being implemented now is not a planned economy, and it is not necessarily effective to regulate the market in a coercive way too much, and the key to the so-called credit money lies in the word credit, and credit is often not something that can be obtained by making coercion.

Qin Mu conservatively estimated that there was no persistence for ten or eight years. The credibility of paper money is difficult to fully establish. In other words, it is impossible to issue paper money in large quantities in these ten or eight years.

Qin Mu sighed secretly and said: "With the establishment of Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other cities, the economic circulation of my Great Qin commodity is also increasing. However, nowadays, the currency is not uniform, and private money is rampant. The exchange of silver money is cumbersome, and ordinary people always judge the fineness of silver and copper coins as well as merchants, and it is always ordinary people who suffer losses.

The entire financial and monetary system is riddled with ills. Now it seems that it is unrealistic to use paper money to unify the currency in the short term, and I am worried day and night. It was decided to mint silver coins excessively, and first unified the currency in the market with silver coins to eliminate the disadvantages caused by the complexity of currency. ”

Xu Yingjie immediately said: "I think it is feasible, the advantage of minting silver coins is that it is not like paper money that can only be circulated in China, but can also be used for foreign trade." ”

Qin Mu also thought of this, but silver coins are still hard currency, even if they are circulated in various countries, it is impossible to control the financial economy of various countries with this.

This can only be done by credit currency, just like the dollar in later generations, which can take advantage of the appreciation and depreciation of the dollar to plunder wealth from countries in disguise, which is difficult for hard currency to do.

Therefore, the silver dollar only needs to solve the problem of monetary unity, and if it wants to control the world's finance, it is ultimately necessary to move to credit money;

Qin Mu's actions on finance are not very old-fashioned, but this is an opportunity given to Daqin by God, as long as he explores slowly now, he can always maintain absolute advancement in the world, and it is expected that he will eventually achieve control over the world's finance.

Qin Mu and Liu Boquan repeatedly discussed the issuance of silver coins and the silver coin law. Then he asked Xu Yingjie to go back to draft the implementation rules, and two days later, he held a regular court and submitted it to the court for discussion.

Early the next morning, in front of the yamen of the various ministries of Daqin, there was a terrestrial globe with a diameter of two meters, and when the civil and military officials went to the yamen, they couldn't help but stop and watch.

The six officials of the east of the Thousand Steps Corridor of the Royal Street saw it, and they were inexplicably a little aggrieved in their hearts. I am a dignified Heavenly Empire, why is it so big, is this a mistake?

What the? This is Portugal, it's that big? It's so big, and you dare to run so far and come to my heavenly kingdom to spread wild under the nose of the kingdom?

The civil servants looked at the globe with mixed feelings.

In front of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies on the west side, Liu Meng and other generals looked at the globe, and their mood was much simpler;

Yes! And such a large area, huh? Well, great! Your Majesty said, this piece of Nanyang is just a bath in the Imperial Garden, so does that mean that we still have more opportunities to make contributions!

Some people also scolded, Gu Rong, he fucked up with the good times, who is he, a pirate leader, now it's good, blink an eye to get back a province for His Majesty, why didn't we have such a good thing?

Don't worry, don't worry, you see, Dongwu country is here, it's really not small, damn it, such a big area, we have to go into battle

Erecting a globe in front of each yamen was just an idea that Qin Mu came up with on a whim, but the effect of doing so was something he never expected;

Since then, the officials of Daqin have been looking at the whole world every day, and they have been imperceptibly imperceptible, and the arrogant mentality of the Heavenly Empire and Yelang has faded. A new worldview is easy to penetrate into the hearts of the people, making everyone yearn for and curious about the world outside of Daqin.

The scholars and ordinary people in Nanjing have been talking about Luzon for the past two days, and they can hear such words everywhere in the streets and alleys: "Hey, do you know? Daqin has one more province? ”

"I know, Luzon, but I heard that it's overseas, far away, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Far? Far fart, I've been to see it, it's less than a pinch away from our Nanjing. ”

"Neuropathy."

"You don't believe it? Come with me, and I'll show you. ”

Huang Zhenlin drew inferences from one case to another, not only erected a globe in front of the yamen of the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, but also erected one in front of the Confucius Temple on the east side of the Guozijian, and the diameter was larger, one zhang long.

The students of Guozijian, the people in the city, the three floors inside and the three floors outside came to watch, and many people couldn't help but measure the distance from Luzon to Nanjing with their hands.

The most intuitive feeling of the globe is that the whole world is right in front of you, making you subconsciously feel that overseas is no longer so far away, as if those lands beyond the sea are close at hand.

There is a saying: vision determines a qiē.

The people of Great Qin broadened their horizons, when they felt that the world was no longer so far away, no longer full of unknown fears. So, what will happen to them? This is a question that is well worth looking forward to.

It is said that Chinese love home, and the local concept is heavy. But in fact, even in the era of closing the country, the footprints of the Chinese have spread all over the world.

Especially in places like Nanyang, although there have been anti-Chinese incidents again and again, and the Chinese have endured a lot of suffering, how have the footsteps of the people's long-distance travel ever stopped? Does anyone know how many Chinese there are on the Nanyang Islands?

***

At a time when there was still a lot of talk about Luzon in China, on the island of Luzon, the merchants of Daqin could be described as the prophets of the plumbing ducks of the Spring River, and at this moment there were already many merchant ships, and the port of Manila was busy.

Luzon is extremely rich in products, all kinds of precious spices, wood, medicinal herbs, native products, coral, pearls, etc., all of which are coveted by merchants.

In the past, Luzon was controlled by the Spaniards, and the merchants of Daqin could only buy from others at a high price.

Well, now the whole of Luzon is Daqin's.

Naturally, the production on Luzon Island is much cheaper.

In order to attract merchants, Luzon also exempted the transaction tax, which made the merchants of Daqin even more flocking.

A large number of caravans flocked to Manila, which not only made Manila prosperous very quickly, but also solved the supply of the military.

Gu Rong's East China Sea Fleet returned with all kinds of property, of course, there were more than a thousand Spaniards, Gu Rong had already released Captain Thomas and asked him to go back and inform Philip IV of Spain to take money to ransom people.

Governor Andrei, Bishop Naryn, and military commander Pique, each had a ransom of 20,000 taels, and not a single cent was missing. The rest of the Spaniards, according to their positions, ranged from one thousand taels to one hundred taels each.

There are also battleships, which can be redeemed, 50,000 taels each, and if they are redeemed together with artillery, the price will be negotiable.

What would Philip IV do? Will the Spanish Armada be sent on a major expedition to Daqin?

Gu Rong and the others were full of infinite longing, and really hoped that Lili IV would be angry and raise troops, make a big expedition to the east, and continue to deliver food.

There were only 10,000 horses left in Manila City, and Zheng Sihai organized 5,000 servants before and after, and let Aquino, the general of Zhengyi, go around to the deep mountains and old forests to catch monkeys.

Zhao Han, the capital servant, is both a father and a mother, not only busy with the settlement of the natives who moved to the plains, but also busy trading with the merchants who flock to him, and he is busy every day
