The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 135 Bakelite base, laser anti-counterfeiting

Unexpectedly, the matter of the national debt was easily approved by the court and Zhu Gaochi.

Not only passed, they even excitedly supported.

The reason is simple, you can get money.

The Ming court didn't understand what the court's credit was at all, otherwise it wouldn't have turned good treasures into waste paper.

If Li Yunze were to do this, it would definitely be a trick.

"Your Majesty." Yang Shiqi took the initiative to approach Zhu Di, "For the national debt, you can pay more."

Everyone is willing to make more money, Zhu Di here is even more eager to get hundreds of millions of taels of silver at a time, so that he no longer has to worry about running out of money when fighting a war.

"How much more hair?"

Yang Shiqi, who was obviously a little excited, saluted immediately, and burst out an astonishing number, "An extra 1000 million taels can be issued."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

You must know that Daming's annual fiscal revenue is only 3000 million taels at this time, and Yang Shiqi will generate one-third of the revenue as soon as he opens his mouth.

It is true that the annual income is only 3000 million taels. Comparing the income of several million taels during the reign of Chongzhen, you can see how ugly the food of civil servants is.

Zhu Di was very moved by this, and felt that he could accomplish anything with money.

When he subconsciously wanted to agree, he inadvertently saw Li Yunze's face full of absurdity.

With a slight movement in his heart, he swallowed back the promised words, "Zhan Ji, the national debt matter you mentioned, you can talk about it and see if it works."

All the officials and nobles looked at Li Yunze.

This grandson has a good way of making money.

"It's really a generation that misunderstood the country."

What he said, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Define a certain minister without hesitation, the key point is that he is not yet the emperor.

This kind of thing will cause a storm.

Didn't see the prince over there, already blushing anxiously, winking at the grandson desperately?

Because the previous performance was very good, Zhu Di was not angry about it.

Just looking at Li Yunze to see what he has to say.

Walking in front of Yang Shiqi, Li Yunze bowed his hands to him, "Scholar Yang, are you treating the national debt as a treasure?"

As the head of the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi naturally has no problem with his abilities.

However, I don't understand such a novel thing as national debt, and I really regard it as a treasure that can be used as silver.

"National debt is not a treasure, but an IOU."

Li Yunze explained sincerely, "This is to borrow money from the people all over the world with the reputation of the imperial court and His Majesty as a guarantee. In essence, it is to eat more than what is paid for."

"If you borrow money, you have to pay it back with interest."

He sighed, "Aren't you going to pay it back?"

"This." Yang Shiqi was a little confused, he really didn't think about paying it back.

After all, the money has entered the hands of the imperial court, how can there be such a thing as sending it back.

"You've ruined the treasure bills. Now ten to one people are willing to accept treasure bills." Speaking of this, Li Yunze hated iron but steel. The treasure bills that could have been properly issued were directly turned into cash by these guys. waste paper.

"In order to make up for this loss of reputation, His Majesty has to use his reputation as a guarantee for the issuance of national bonds this time. And it also promises that it will not be copied."

Li Yunze looked around, "If it is abused, where will His Majesty face it?"

No matter what it is, as long as the emperor's name is used, he will be invincible in righteousness.

His meaning is very clear, if you mess around with money-making, you are stepping on the emperor's face.

The civil servants can step on the faces of many emperors, and even make the emperors fall into the water, fall off the horse, poison themselves to death, and so much so that they commit suicide by themselves.

But for an immediate emperor like Zhu Di, civil servants would not dare.

Because people really dare to fill in the grass.

After all, Yang Shiqi is still a member of the East Palace, in fact, he is a member of the prince's family.

Facing Li Yunze's rebuke, he respectfully saluted Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake."

"Leave this matter to Zhan Ji." Zhu Di waved his hand, "All ministries and departments should try their best to cooperate and make no mistakes."

Everyone saluted one after another, expressing that they would definitely help.

After the dynasty was over, Zhu Gaoxu invited his third younger brother Zhu Gaosui to drink at his house.

When he was drunk, he waved his hand to tell the girls to go out, and Zhu Gaoxu went straight to the topic, "I plan to counterfeit the national debt."

Zhu Gaosui wasn't surprised at all, because he thought so too.

That was a huge amount of 1000 million taels, and it was still impossible to copy.

As the person who was the quickest to get in touch with the wind vane of the imperial court, it was obvious that once these things were released, they would inevitably cause looting.

Different from the treasure banknotes like waste paper, what kind of national debt is Zhu Di's decree for the world, using taxes as guarantee, and using his own face as credit to issue IOUs.

People in the world may not trust the imperial court very much, but the emperor who fought in the South and the North can still be trusted by many people.

According to the point of view of people in this era, the emperor's face is more important than everything else, and the emperor has used his own face as a guarantee, so it is naturally credible.

Three-point profit or something, it's not much to say that people care.

After all, this kind of national debt, which is said to be at least 1000 taels, must be a wealthy family who can afford it.

The invincible feature is like pouring a pot of oil on the fire, and the Zhu Gaoxu brothers themselves want to buy it.

But what they are discussing now is not to buy it themselves, but to build it themselves.

"It's nothing more than a master craftsman from the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Gaoxu's expression is nothing more than that. "I understand their craftsmanship. When they come out, they will be recruited to do it."

"How much do you plan to make?" Zhu Gaosui was silent for a moment, before asking a crucial question.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was drinking wine leisurely with a wine glass, said slowly, "The old man keeps an eye on it, so it's not easy to do too much. And it's the first time for our elder nephew to do something serious, so naturally we have to give him some face. Let's do it first." 200 million taels."

Here Zhu Gaosui almost spit out his drink.

200 million taels is still for saving face, or is it not easy to get too much?
If you are determined not to give face, then you will be rounded up.

"The third child." Zhu Gaoxu stretched out the wine glass, "Have half for you."

Zhu Gaosui's complexion immediately improved.

Although the second child is ambitious, he is generous.

Well, it is a material for great things!
He immediately raised his wine glass and clinked it with his second brother with a smile, "Let's wait until the national debt of Lao Shizi is made."

The national debt model did not make everyone wait too long, it only took a few days, and it has already been made here.

As the core members, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also saw the model national debt in the imperial study for the first time.

After seeing it, everyone was dumbfounded.

The denomination of national bonds is divided into four types: 1000 taels, 2000 taels, 5000 taels and 1 taels.

From the face value, we know that this thing is not for ordinary people.

The paper is high-quality rice paper, and the various imprints on it are also the handwriting of master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Palace.

As for the various seals, needless to say, there are more than ten seals up and down, almost covering the entire paper.

Things are still normal here, after all, in Zhu Gaoxu's view, there is no problem at all with finding master craftsmen to redo new ones.

But the real problem is that the paper outer layer of these national debts is wrapped in a transparent layer.

It's like two pieces of transparent glass, directly sandwiching the paper in the middle.

Let alone this kind of thing, I have never heard of it.

Of course they haven't heard of it, because Bakelite and celluloid haven't even appeared these days, let alone modern plastic wrap.

On the outside of the plastic film, there is the word national debt printed out by laser.

This kind of anti-counterfeiting technology, in this era, the whole world does not have the ability to crack it.

Even if there are master craftsmen who can tear off the two layers of film, they still cannot imitate it.

"Eldest nephew." Zhu Gaoxu's face darkened, "What is this?"

"It's called Bakelite." Li Yunze responded seriously, "It is obtained through the method of alchemy, which is rare in the world. It is used in the anti-counterfeiting of national debts, and no one can use it to make money."

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned even darker.

Just say what you say, staring at me in front of so many people, what are you talking about?It's like I want to imitate national debt, you want to kill me.

"Not only that." Li Yunze said again, "All those who buy national bonds must register with the household department, and the three files are stored separately. If you want to exchange them, you must hold the national bonds and register."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked a silly question, "What should I do if a person dies?"

Everyone looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

When a person dies, of course it is done according to the rules, and whoever inherits the family business naturally belongs to him.If you don't want to change it, come here and change the registration information.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to expand his strength and buy more people.

But once Li Yunze operated, all chances were gone.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold back his anger, and directly pointed at Li Yunze, "Nephew, if you get a few million taels of national debt, wouldn't the East Palace pay it?"

Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a humanoid sand sculpture.

Still, Zhu Gaosui couldn't see it, so he picked up a national debt and stretched it out in front of Zhu Gaoxu, pointing to the biggest seal on it, "See for yourself, what is this?"

Now Zhu Gaoxu can see clearly, this is Zhu Di's great seal.

If Li Yunze wanted to imitate it, he had to have Zhu Di's seal.

Zhu Di is willing to give it, so of course there is no need to say more.

If he didn't want to give it, but made it himself, that would be treason.

Now Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to say, Li Yunze even wiped out his chance to make a fortune from it.

'Why do you work so loyally? Even if the old man is gone, it's not your turn to be in charge.You still have so many brothers. '

The helpless Zhu Gaoxu could only slander.

"That's the matter." Zhu Di nodded and nodded, "Make it as soon as possible, and then send it out."

He is really short of money, and now he has the opportunity to get a lot of money, which means that his plan to send troops has confidence.

As for what kind of bakelite, I just don't bother to care about it.

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, expressing that they would push this matter forward as soon as possible.

Zhu Di who nodded in satisfaction, his eyes fell on Li Yunze.

"You did a good job in this matter, and you should be rewarded."
