124 The Rich Man

Wei Ming was stunned when Zhu Youxiao put a cart full of boxes in front of Wei Ming as if showing off his achievements.This is just a capital city!A capital can have so much silver, how can there be so much?Opening the boxes one by one, the gold and silver treasures inside were dazzling, which made Wei Ming dazzled.After a rough estimate, there must be tens of millions of taels!Is Ming Dynasty rich?That's true.Are there many rich people in the Ming Dynasty?That's a lot.So the question is, there are so many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, why is the country short of money?Because the people are rich and the country is poor.Whether the people are too rich or the people are rich and the country is poor, it is not a good phenomenon.The Ming Dynasty is an ironclad proof.When a person or a family's annual income is more than the national treasury's annual income, it is called a strange thing if there is no trouble.Especially in the feudal dynasty.You are richer than me, you are richer than me.What do you want to do?rebel?You can't kill it!Either use it for me, or die immediately, these are the two options.When meeting a ruthless emperor, there is only one choice, which is to die immediately.For example, Zhu Yuanzhang is such a ruthless person.But his descendants are far behind him.

"You are great! We can start the lending business now, and the bank will be profitable, and that is just around the corner!" Wei Ming jumped up happily.So inspiring.This is simply a stimulant, more effective than anything else.

"I didn't expect that there would be so much money. How about we do this a few more times? In that case, why would we open a bank!" Zhu Youxiao said with stars in his eyes.It seems that the boxes of gold and silver treasures have already confused his mind.

"Come on, stop, stop, you don't want to do this. Officials don't compete with the people, this is the bottom line we have to keep. If you really do this, I guess our entire dynasty is over like this. You are stared at me It’s the same thing whether you stare or not. As long as we issue new currency with the capital as the center, I don’t believe it can’t affect the whole world! The money is hidden from those real ones, and the whole world will tremble three times I got it from the characters. Their influence will definitely exceed your imagination. At that time, you will be able to wake up from your dreams with a smile. Another point, you have to remember, you must follow this policy Persist in the implementation. I think soon, the memorials to impeach me will fill your desk. At that time, even if you can't bear the pressure and want to find a scapegoat, you will have a ready-made one. Just cut me off. It’s over, but this policy must, remember, must be implemented. The overseas market has not yet been developed, and a large amount of money cannot be returned. Only in this way can we survive the current financial panic It was rare for Wei Ming to speak solemnly.Even when he told Zhu Youxiao that he was going to be the emperor, he was not so serious.Wei Ming is serious, so Zhu Youxiao is naturally serious, nodded solemnly, and said: "Don't worry, you are a hero, even if you risk the world, you will be saved!" Zhu Youxiao It's actually pretty smart, definitely smarter than you think.It can be seen from Wanli's emphasis on him and his ingenious carpentry skills.It's just that Emperor Wanli miscalculated his son, Zhu Changluo, in the end.I didn't expect him to be the emperor for only one month before he was done playing.As a result, when Zhu Youxiao took office, he was young, poorly experienced, and most importantly, uneducated.Smart people generally don't do things they can't handle safely, so they have the first escape.In fact, avoiding this kind of thing is also addictive, or in other words, as long as you avoid it once, there will be a second time. From the first time, such a habit has been formed.Over time, the carpenter emperor appeared in the eyes of the world.After Wei Ming said this, he knew the power of it.Ministers will not write to impeach the emperor.Because there is no one who can even make decisions for you.The emperor has the final say.If you dare to impeach the emperor, you dare to rebel.As a result, it clicked when it was pulled out.But the impeachment of Wei Ming did not have the slightest psychological pressure.One's own interests have been lost, and one's power has been bullied. This tone must always be uttered.There must always be someone who stands up and bears the consequences of all this.Just like Yu Qian back then.He defended the imperial city, but sold the emperor to the enemy.As a result, the emperor came back, whether he wanted it or not, whether he regretted it or not, this person was still going to die.This is a legal principle, even the emperor cannot destroy it.Wei Ming didn't doubt Zhu Youxiao's sincerity when he said this.But if you really believe it, it can only mean that you are too young.

"Okay, don't say these things are useless. Then what, you transport all these gold, silver and jewels back to the treasury. There is strict security and it is the safest. If you rob someone's things, you have to be careful of others coming to rob them You have to guard against your things. Also, don’t ostentatiously walk through the market like this in the future. You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. It's a trouble." Wei Ming said.

"Don't put it in the bank? After all, these things are stored in the bank in name. Just take it back to the treasury, isn't it good?" Zhu Youxiao said a little shyly.It seemed that Wei Ming gave him the money, and Wei Ming felt disgusted when he saw it.This guy is absolutely crazy about money.

"Don't corrupt the money. In that case, God can't save you. There is a reason why it is not kept in the bank. Although the bank is a joint venture between you and me, it belongs to the state in name, but it is not in the law. When keeping up, it’s better to be careful, don’t let others take advantage of the loopholes. Besides, what are you doing in the bank? I never said that money should be put in the bank. Put something of equal value. Hurry up and let the senior officials of the household department design gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. This will be the first set of currency we issue. A copper coin is equivalent to ten copper coins, a silver coin is equivalent to one tael of silver, and a gold coin is equivalent to 100 taels of silver. Of course, we can discuss the issue of this face value later. For example, I have no objection to issuing a silver coin equivalent to five taels of silver. In short, it is just to make people who use this thing feel convenient. And, the most important point is that anti-counterfeiting must be done well. Otherwise, the currency in the market will not be unified, and you will not be able to find a place even if you cry. Come on, I will talk to the Ministry of Accounts about these things later. After discussing it with the people you work with, you just need to have an idea in your mind." Wei Ming said.No matter who it is, there will be an instinctive resistance to new things that have just appeared.For example, Copernicus' heliocentric theory was burned as charcoal after it was put forward.For example, when trains first appeared on the land of China, people respected them like gods.There must be a process here, otherwise, if it is too abrupt, it will always make people feel uncomfortable.Then if you sleep to make trouble for everyone, whoever has to be prepared to withstand everyone's doubts and anger.The best way to do this is to boil the frogs in warm water.If the water is hot, the frog will run away, and in the end, the chicken will fly and the egg will be beaten, and nothing can be done.According to Wei Ming, first use copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins to let the common people have a process of adaptation.When it is about the same time, paper money with the same price as these currencies will be issued.After everyone agrees with the banknotes, these coins can be issued in small quantities, or even not issued. This is a process of gradual change, and there is no rush.And when the most important people settle their capital and interest, they receive this kind of currency, and you can't use it.The process from top to bottom is much less labor-saving than the process from bottom to bottom.

"Okay, come on, you guys, transport these to the treasury, and send people to guard them strictly. Whoever dares to slack off will never be spared lightly!" Zhu Youxiao waved them away.If you see too much money, that's all.

After sending the others away, he said to Wei Ming: "When your child was born, can I still give you the gift I gave you? It's fun to be a brother!" Zhu Youxiao began to show off again.

"Come on, you. Too much of anything is not a good thing. Money is like this, so is official position. This thing is easy to attract people's hatred. You should find someone else to attract hatred. I think my current official position That's fine. Don't worry about what you do in the future, you'd better let me calm down a bit these years." Wei Ming said angrily.The wife and children who think about it every day are so hot, why are there more and more things going on?
