Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 14 Treasure Notes and Food Stamps

"Second uncle, what do I do if I don't be the king? I have to ask the emperor."

Zhu Gaojiu smiled a little with a guilty conscience: "You kid will sue, I didn't say what I said just now."

"Second uncle, what you say is poured out of water."

Zhu Gaojiu was a little flustered. According to common sense, it is impossible for a grandson to say this to the outside world, but the child in front of him is playing cards according to common sense.

In my heart, I blamed myself for talking too much, and I wanted to provoke my eldest brother's child, but this child is different from ordinary children.

Zhu Gaojiu said hurriedly, "Second uncle didn't say anything just now."

"Second uncle said that I can not be the king of the domain."

Zhu Gaojiao hurriedly covered Zhu Zhanchang's mouth: "Little bastard, don't shout."

"Second uncle also called my father a bastard."

Zhu Gaojiu was helpless: "Where did you learn these rogue tactics, but you are still a child and can't beat him."

"Second uncle, it's okay if I don't say it." Zhu Zhanyi smiled.

Zhu Gaojiao sighed: "What conditions."

"Second uncle, I think it is reasonable for my uncle to give his nephew some silver flowers."

Zhu Gaojiao rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhanchang: "You kid is out of your money, dare to ask the old man for money, and ask me for money too."

"When I become a vassal king in the future, I don't think it's enough to marry two or three wives. I need to save more."

"Bring this up again." Zhu Gaojiu said while taking out the treasure money in his bag, looked at it and gave it to Zhu Zhanchang.

Zhu Zhanchang took the treasured banknotes and dipped a little saliva on his fingers: "Ten, twenty, second uncle, why is the denomination of the treasured banknotes so small."

"I brought 300 taels of precious notes today, and it doesn't cost money to enter the palace. I can't say a word about today's affairs."

"What did the second uncle say today?"

Zhu Gaojiu smiled bitterly, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he looked back at Zhu Zhanchang, who was immersed in counting the treasures, but he thought that it would be fine if Zhu Zhanchang was his son.

Although my eldest brother is inconvenient to have fat legs and feet, he can really give birth.

I don't know if it is true that the East Palace has good feng shui and gave birth to a dignified and upright grandson Zhu Zhanji. Although the second child is not as good as Zhu Zhanji, he is diligent and has no other problems except for being irritable. Out of the corners, although people are a bit eccentric, but their brains are really good.

Thinking of my two sons, I can't help but sigh, the quantity can't keep up with the elder brother, and the quality is also a lot worse.

Crotch made a decision to return to the house immediately to work hard. If the quality cannot be controlled, the pursuit of quantity will lead to qualitative change.

Walking forward with great strides, he heard Zhu Zhanchang's voice suddenly coming from behind: "Second uncle, the treasure note is only 280 taels, not 300."

Zhu Gaojiao almost stumbled: "I'll give it to you next time."

With an income of 280 taels, Zhu Zhanchang was very happy, but he fell into deep thought when he saw the simple treasure in his hand.

The treasure banknotes of this era are banknotes, but they have no real value and are not used by many people. The actual value of these 280 tael denominations may be less than 200 taels.

There are two biggest reasons. First, it is not difficult to make treasure banknotes, and there will be fake ones. Zhu Bo, the king of Xiang, was cut down by Emperor Jianwen in the name of privately printing treasure banknotes.

The second is the issuance of treasure banknotes. There is no rule for the issuance of treasure banknotes by the imperial court. There is no economics in this era, so inflation is not known.

The current minister of the household is Xia Yuanji, and he is already a top smart person. He and Zhu Gaochi are in charge of finances. It is already very good to do so. The imperial court wants to promote treasure money, but the implementation has not been smooth.

Treasure banknotes can be circulated in several big cities, but they cannot be circulated outside the big cities at all.

The private printing of treasure money happens from time to time. Although the control is extremely strict, if a civilian is caught, it is basically a capital crime, but it is difficult to suppress because of the lack of business and the low cost of counterfeiting.

Paper money itself has no value, its value comes from the value given to it by the national government, and it is linked to what.

Although Zhu Zhanchang has not studied economics much, he knows the most famous currency, the U.S. dollar. The petrodollar system determines the strength and liquidity of the U.S. dollar.

With its strong national strength, the United States requires international oil transactions to be settled in US dollars, and the US dollar is pegged to oil, making the US dollar the most valuable currency in the early 21st century. The foreign exchange reserves of all countries are in US dollars.

Because oil is an energy resource necessary for the production and development of all countries, the monopoly of the US dollar makes the value of the US dollar linked to this necessities.

One is national strength, and the other is the value of linked items, of which Chinese strength is the foundation of everything.

There is no oil in this era, and it is impossible to link oil and treasured banknotes, but Zhu Zhanchang thought about it, and his smile gradually emerged.

"It's time to copy homework again."

The most critical resource in this era is not oil, what is it?It is food, how to link food and treasure money?
Don't think about it, just copy the homework directly, that is the food stamp.

Although the food stamps have been withdrawn from the stage of history and Zhu Zhanchang has never used them, his grandfather was a collector of food stamps and often told him the story of marrying a daughter-in-law with a one-hundred-pound denomination of food stamps.

每每讲一次都会被他奶奶揍一次，因为一百斤面额的粮票娶的不是他奶奶而是爷爷的初恋，所以他记忆犹新。

In this era, if the treasured banknotes can be linked to food, it will surely make the treasured banknotes a currency in circulation. When the court can issue currency, then the country's government will make a big leap.

With this idea, Zhu Zhanchang has only one stumbling block left in front of him, and that is anti-counterfeiting. It is difficult to achieve anti-counterfeiting of treasure banknotes with the technology of this era.

There is no good solution for anti-counterfeiting. The technology of this era is here. To quickly improve this matter requires the cooperation of all walks of life. It is estimated that it cannot be done in a short time.

After returning to the room, the emperor came to the decree, saying that Zhu Zhanchang should go to the newly-built security department to take a post. The post was held by Si Cheng, the leader's assistant. Because he was young, he didn't have to go to work, but he didn't have any grades and no salary. It all depends. How much the leader is happy to give him.

Zhu Zhanchang was distressed. The second uncle would definitely wear small shoes for himself. At that time, he would not have a dime salary, but he had [-]% of the shares. For this share, he had to come up with ideas for him.

As soon as the imperial decree left, his fat father came.

"Chu'er Xiaosheng, you go out first." Seeing that Fatty had let the eunuch stay outside, he had something to say to himself, so he ordered the servants to go out first and closed the door.

He is still very satisfied with his son being so observant.

"Zhanchang, the imperial decree to serve in the Security Division has arrived. This is your first errand, so you must do your best."

"Father, rest assured that your son will do it wholeheartedly."

Zhu Gaochi was quite relieved, but he hesitated before he said, "Zhansang, you and your eldest brother are brothers of the same mother. As a father, I hope that you will be brothers and sisters, and don't get any of your grandfather's. Appreciation breeds arrogance."

Zhu Zhanchang understood that Zhu Gaochi was here to beat him. If a son born in the royal family was useless, he would be worried, and if all his sons were capable, he would be worried.

Zhu Gaochi knows this very well. The second and third brothers are all capable people. He and this eldest brother have to guard against the two of them every day.

Zhu Zhanchang stood up and saluted: "Father will always be Erchen's father, and eldest brother will always be Erchen's eldest brother."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Gaochi was relieved.

"But father, why did you let me work under the second uncle? What should the second uncle wear me with small shoes?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly in the face of Zhu Zhanchang's question, and just as he was about to speak, the door was forced open.

Standing at the door is his good brother Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was in a hurry at this time, and his face was full of panic.

"Father, it's not good, Grandpa Huang is going to kill someone."
