Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 71 Hahahaha!My lord, Wei will perish in three years!
Jiang Ling, who was still trying to digest the dragon-supporting technique, couldn't help but come to his senses when he heard what Xu Shouyun said.

Does Chaotang have anything else to do?

If you think about it carefully, there is really one thing.

However, Jiang Ling was a little silent about this matter. She didn't know whether she should tell Xu Shouyun. After all, Xu Shouyun was a spy of the Chu Dynasty, and the matter was of great importance. She needed to think about it.

It's just that the matter of changing rice to mulberry made Jiang Ling feel differently about Xu Shouyun.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ling finally told the other party about it.

"The imperial court allocated funds to change rice into mulberry, and the national treasury itself was already empty, and it belonged to the surplus food. Therefore, in order to seek stability, the imperial court decided that the Ministry of Households would issue Daweibao banknotes."

"In order to restore the emptiness of the treasury."

Jiang Ling spoke out, telling what the Great Wei Dynasty will do next. This matter is extremely important, and it can be said to be the most important thing for the Great Wei Dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that the hidden danger of changing rice to mulberry is too great, and if it is not resolved, it will cause a lot of trouble, and it is impossible to keep chattering about this matter during this period of time.

In the courtyard, Xu Shouyun listened carefully. He felt that he was a little talkative, and he was just looking for trouble.

But after hearing this, Xu Shouyun was a little dumbfounded.

What the hell?The treasury is empty, and the banknotes are issued?Did I hear you right?
In the past, rice was changed to mulberry, and later, treasure notes were issued. Isn't this too much manipulation?
"My lord, what do you mean to say that the national treasury is empty, and you can issue precious banknotes to ease the fiscal deficit?"

Xu Shouyun spoke out, with a trace of astonishment.

Sensing Xu Shouyun's astonished gaze, Jiang Ling couldn't help but froze. She didn't know why Xu Shouyun showed this expression, and she felt a little bad.

"Correct."

Jiang Ling said seriously, if there is a problem with changing rice to mulberry, she can accept it. After all, the first emperor died every two years, so she can accept some mistakes.

However, the Dawei Baochao was not proposed casually. It was something that the Ministry of Household Affairs had repeatedly deliberated over the past 20 years, and the other five ministries also participated more or less.

She thought that this was a good thing, and Xu Shouyun could only pick out some details.

"Hahahahaha, my lord, this time the Great Wei will definitely be destroyed, at most three years."

Hearing the other party's answer, Xu Shouyun was immediately happy.

Changing rice into mulberry can be understood as bad luck for one party who believes in everything, but the treasures of the Great Wei involve the entire Great Wei Dynasty.

There is absolutely no exaggeration in destroying the country in three years.

Jiang Ling: "???"

"For this matter, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been preparing for 20 years, and there is a perfect plan."

"Why is it a bad thing?"

Jiang Ling was really dissatisfied. You said there was a problem with changing the rice to mulberry, and she fully agreed. After all, the whole thing was a bit hasty.

But Dawei Baochao, how could it be possible to fail after at least 20 years of hard work?
You can't accept it if you say it's impossible, but Xu Shouyun's expression is too cheap.

Hearing this, Xu Shouyun was still smiling all over his face, and he really felt gloating.

"Dare to ask my lord, is this a perfect plan? How perfect is it?"

"Is the credit ready?"

"Has the recycling method been finalized?"

"Have the statistics of the people's production income been done?"

"Is there any printing supervision done?"

"Is the anti-counterfeiting technology ready?"

"How many generations have you changed the style?"

When Xu Shouyun opened his mouth, Jiang Ling was stunned by a series of questions.

What, what, what, what, it's all about what.

What, what, what, what are you talking about?

"What is credit?"

Xu Shouyun was dumbfounded when Jiang Ling asked the first question.

"It's the security deposit of Da Wei's banknotes. Guaranteed banknotes are valuable things."

Xu Shouyun replied subconsciously.

"What kind of deposit do you need for this? The precious banknotes issued by the imperial court have no credit yet?"

"You probably don't know about this. There is a place in the Jiangnan area called Wanjin County. There is a businessman in the county. His family property is huge, and his business involves half of Jiangnan."

"However, most of the money in circulation in the market is copper coins and broken silver, which is extremely inconvenient to trade. Therefore, silver notes were invented, and the silver was deposited in the bank, and then the bank gave the bank notes."

"Businessmen trade with silver bills, and the trade is interoperable, and life is endless. Therefore, after the court knew about it, it studied for 20 years and issued treasure banknotes to replace gold, silver and copper coins."

"Dynasty Publishing, what kind of credit do you need?"

Jiang Lingsheng was afraid that Xu Shouyun would not understand this, so she deliberately explained it. Although Xu Shouyun said a lot of things just now, few of them could understand.

Subconsciously, he felt that Xu Shouyun might have misunderstood something.

After listening to Jiang Ling's theory and logic, Xu Shouyun fell silent for a moment.

Little sister, this idea coincides with that of Lao Zhu. After hearing what you said, Lao Zhu will definitely clap his hands happily.

Doesn't the imperial court prepare credit funds?On the contrary, because it is the imperial court, it is even more necessary to show its strength.

Lie everyone's money with one mouth?Are you a fool?
Very smart.

"grown ups."

"Of course the imperial court has certain credibility, but you have to think about it, once the Great Wei Bao banknote is issued, how much silver will it involve?"

"If it's 1000 million taels, 5000 million taels, or even [-] million taels, the people still believe in the imperial court."

"The Great Wei Dynasty has 36 provinces, [-] prefectures, and the number of people registered in the household department is more than ten million."

"According to the market circulation, a commoner's annual currency circulation in the normal market is calculated as four taels of silver, so if converted, it is the demand for hundreds of millions of taels of silver."

"With such a huge number, do you think the court's credit is still useful?"

Xu Shouyun said that anyone who understands history will know one thing.

【Currency Replacement】

This thing can be said to have killed countless dynasties, and the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty were killed by currency.

People who don't understand finance, touching this thing can be said to be harmful to others and themselves.

What was the purpose of changing the currency in ancient dynasties?Isn't its core just to "suck the blood of the common people", collect the money, and then give some precious money.

If you can stabilize the issuance, it's okay to say, but changing rice to mulberry can cause so many troubles, if you really want to issue treasure notes, it will be a big trouble.

Today the Ministry of Households wants 5000 million taels, tomorrow the Ministry of Industry wants 5000 million taels, and the day after tomorrow the Ministry of Rites wants 3000 million taels. Anyway, the money is printed.

One day when the emperor is in a good mood, it's no big problem to reward foreign countries with three or five million taels of treasure notes.

But who is unlucky?It's not just the common people.

Don't talk about strict control, what do you use to strictly control?You have already done everything you need to eat enough food, and you are still counting on strict control?

"There is Confucian control, so why worry? The amount of money printed will be verified by the Ministry of Rites, and it may be overissued, which can fluctuate by up to [-]%."

"You look down on the court credit too much."

Jiang Ling said very seriously, explaining to Xu Shouyun, he was still a little unconvinced at the end.

"My lord, it's not that the subordinates are stubborn. When issuing precious banknotes, don't talk about Confucianism's control, even if you ask a saint to control it, it's useless."

"What is the purpose of issuing treasure notes? It is to solve the emptiness of the national treasury and solve the fiscal deficit problem of various regions, so once the Dawei treasure notes are issued, the subordinates can guarantee that every banknote has a claim."

"But let's not talk about this topic, let's go back to the topic of security deposit."

"If a banknote is to be issued, especially if it is issued by a large bank, a deposit must be prepared."

"If there is no security deposit, there will be no guarantee for the common people, and banknote runs can happen anytime and anywhere."

"When the time comes, if there is a run, it will be troublesome."

Xu Shouyun opened his mouth, but after saying this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and then said: "But this is also a good thing for us."

"Hahahaha, my lord, if you really didn't prepare a security deposit, then it wouldn't take five years for the Great Wei to be wiped out in three years."

Xu Shouyun smiled all over his face.

These words made Jiang Ling a little unconvinced, but on the surface, he still wanted to maintain his status as a connector, so he had to change his rhetoric.

"Don't talk nonsense. The Chu Dynasty will also issue treasure notes. If you have anything, just say it clearly. If you say it well, it will be considered a great achievement for you."

Jiang Ling said that she was very serious about this matter.
