Chapter 213 Another village of light and flowers
On the platform.
The king and the ministers are all looking at me and I look at you. What I said today is really unexpected, making the king and the ministers very embarrassed.
The emperor had no money, but wanted to reprint the treasure money, and wanted to repay the treasure money in time and get reserve silver. This made several ministers a little embarrassed. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice in this matter!
The emperor and his ministers looked at each other foolishly. Sun Chengzong was really helpless by the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, how much money can His Majesty take out as reserve silver? According to His Majesty's idea, if His Majesty doesn't have much money, he can issue more. It is feasible to issue a piece of silver and issue a piece of three-cent treasure banknotes." Sun Chengzong couldn't stand it anymore. The emperor cried poorly and had no choice but to pour water into the treasure banknotes.
"Master Sun, I'm afraid I can pay at most one...500,000 taels, no... I counted the money Li Ruolian had loaned, and one million taels would not be less..." Yang Jing calculated his property and finally said the number in his mind. He originally wanted to say one million taels, but found that there was not much left in his treasury, so he said another 500,000 taels. Thinking of Li Ruolian's money house being converted into a bank, Li Ruolian could have a lot of more silver to make reserve silver. In terms of calculation, one million taels should be there.
Huh!... When the emperor said that there was one million taels of silver as reserve silver, several people breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor could take out one million taels of silver to reserve silver. This is a lot, and this is already very generous. It used to be a piece of white notes!
"Report to Your Majesty, if there are millions of taels of silver as reserve silver and I will not move there, I dare to guarantee it and issue two or three times the treasure banknotes, there is no problem." Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor actually had one million taels of silver to make reserve silver. If this was the case, it could be seen that the emperor was quite sincere. You must know that the annual income of the Ming Dynasty was only about two million taels when it was too small. He took out the annual income of one and a half of the annual income of the Ming Dynasty as reserve silver and redeemed the precious banknotes. It has to be said that the emperor had tried his best. Sun Chengzong felt that there was nothing to do if he put in a little water or something.
"Yes! Your Majesty, if there is one million taels of silver as reserve silver and there will be no problem in issuing treasure banknotes." Xu Guangqi also breathed a sigh of relief. If this huge sum of money is used as reserve silver, then this treasure banknote can really be regarded as the word "treasure".
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with so much silver as reserve silver. There is no need to worry at all. I think it is fine even if I issue five times treasure banknotes." Bi Ziyan also seized an opportunity to speak. This time, he poured water into the emperor even more severely, five times. In Bi Ziyan's opinion, the emperor took out one million taels of silver as reserve silver. This is considered to be the emperor's sincerity. Not to mention five times, even ten times, it is OK.
In fact, Yang Jing regretted it as soon as he said "one million taels", he said that Li Ruolian's 1.2 million taels were loaned out of the loan. If he counted this into the reserve bank, how could he give out the loan? This reserve bank could not be moved! Could it be that he took out another million taels from the treasury? Yang Jing wanted to catch his head. Next month, the elites of the Ming Dynasty would enter the capital to guard the capital. Training, rewards, and equipment replacement. This is absolutely impossible. This warship, new army, etc., no matter what, he cannot lose money. Where can he get the money? Although there should be a lot of money on paper, or there is a lot of money on it, unfortunately, they are still on paper and on the treasury, and one or two taels are lost in his own treasury.
"Ah... Actually, I want to say that although Li Ruolian has more than one million taels of silver, I asked Li Ruolian to lend it. Now I am afraid that it will not be able to collect it for a while... This reserve bank cannot be moved..." Yang Jing regretted it on the spot, very confused! If the money from Li Ruolian's place becomes reserve bank, the profitability of his "enterprise" will decline a lot. He is very conflicted. Yang Jing thinks that he has reserve bank and does not want to give up the current profitable business.
Hiss... The three people on the ground were so distressed by the emperor's repentance. If there were only one million taels of silver as reserve silver, then the treasure banknote would have credit. Now the emperor repents again... Then the treasure banknote will probably turn into waste paper, and the saliva for half a day would be in vain.
"Oh... I think it's better not to move the money from Li Ruolian. The profits there are also good, it's a pity to give up! It's better to raise some money from elsewhere to serve as reserve silver..." Yang Jing's face was hot. He regretted this in-class. Just do something shameless. Anyway, there are only a few people here, and he is not afraid of others' jokes. He can't beat the money even if his face is important!
A few people on the ground were blocked!
Sun Chengzong remained silent.
Xu Guangqi lowered his head and thought about something.
Bi Ziyan looked at his toes, as if there were strange treasures on his toes.
On the platform, it was so awkward and quiet. Yang Jing was very depressed. It was absolutely impossible to have no money! New banknotes must be issued, and this reserve silver is necessary, but his own business cannot be stopped no matter what, and future expenses must be reserved no matter what.
Xu Guangqi thought for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, saying: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it."
When Yang Jie, who was depressed, heard Xu Guangqi have an idea and immediately asked: "Oh, hehe, what is Master Xu's idea? Just say it." Yang Jie was depressed for a long time and didn't know where to get a huge sum of money for himself to make reserves.
Xu Guangqi looked at his colleagues, then at the emperor and Wang Chengen beside the emperor, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have only one word for this idea, 'king'..." After Xu Guangqi said the word "king", he stopped talking. He lowered his head and did not look at the emperor.
Yang Jing was depressed, the word "king" is the word "king"? Do you borrow money from someone named Wang? The person surnamed Wang is rich? Yang Jing thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the word "king" means.
"Master Xu, what does the word "king" mean?" Yang Jingai couldn't hold it in, so he asked Xu Guangqi.
"Your Majesty, don't be difficult for me. I have to say this word. After I say this word, I will not admit that I have said this word. Your Majesty thinks more, but I really can't say it..." Xu Guangqi originally gritted his teeth and said it out. Now when the emperor asked him, his forehead was full of blue veins, and he couldn't say it even if he beat him to death. If others knew that he was instigating the emperor to do this, then he would not be able to live a life? He still has sons and grandchildren.
Sun Chengzong said the word "king" for a long time, and probably understood something, and exclaimed, "Brother Zixian... this..." and then stopped talking. Sun Chengzong understood, but he stopped talking immediately. It would be better not to say this matter. If you don't say it or not, you will have no handle. If you beat him to death, you will not admit it. If you don't admit it, you will not be in the world. You are worthy of heaven and the lower ones.
Bi Ziyan was surprised when he saw Sun Chengzong's sudden realization and understood what the word "king" in Xu Zixian means. Now, he lowered his head even lower. Even Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong dared not tell the matter clearly. They could only play a puzzle with the emperor. As the minister, he should be more at ease. This matter really cannot be said or taken care of.
Only Emperor Yang Jing was left alone, and he didn't understand the meaning of the word Wang. Yang Jing was anxious! I wanted to ask Xu Guangqi, but Xu Guangqi didn't say a word, and Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, and Bi Ziyan even lowered his head into his crotch.
Wang Chengen was a native of the Ming Dynasty. After thinking for a long time, he understood and quietly beside the emperor, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master Xu is asking Your Majesty to ask the vassal kings for money." Wang Chengen's concerns are obviously not that big. The sky is big and the earth is the biggest. Wang Chengen's eyes are only the emperor. In Wang Chengen's eyes, those princes and vassal kings are all over the clouds. Unlike Sun, Xu and others have too many concerns as ministers and need to fight a puzzle with the emperor. One, two vassal kings are nothing, but this matter must be opened by all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
Knife! Even Sun Chengzong dared not say it clearly. If this is heard by the vassal kings, there will be no good life. He cannot be an official for the rest of his life. He has sons and grandsons. He has to live a life, right? This is to offend all the vassal kings to death! Let the emperor rob the princes and vassal kings. Those princes are very domineering and domineering, and it would be strange if they don’t cause trouble for them. At that time, what happened to their Zhu family? Their two sides are not human beings. That is, Wang Chengen, who is a eunuch anyway, and he is the only emperor in his heart, so he dares to tell the emperor directly.
"What? Find..." Yang Jing was shocked! It turned out that Xu Guangqi asked him to ask for money from the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. Raise funds, levy, and reduce the vassal kings? Or did Yang Jing suddenly realize that the princes of the Ming Dynasty who he had never paid attention to came into his sight. He asked them to make money? What should I do? To rob? To seize the group of fat princes as fat as pigs in the late Ming Dynasty, the historical ones were a bit "famous", but I forgot about this.
Seeing that the emperor understood the meaning of the word "king", Xu Guangqicai said again: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty does not intend to use the money from Li Ruolian's money house as reserve silver, I am willing to store the excess and unused silver in your family in Your Majesty's money house. In this way, isn't Your Majesty's money house rich? In this way, can Your Majesty free money to be reserve silver?" Xu Guangqi said the method now is very simple, so he deposited his own money in the emperor's money house, and then freed up the money from the money house as reserve silver. To put it simply, it is to absorb savings,
Replace the loan. In fact, what I secretly said was to let the emperor go to the homes of the princes of the Ming Dynasty to plunder them, and let each of the princes of the Ming Dynasty save some money to the emperor's money house. Wouldn't there be money in this money house? There were many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, and each prince saved tens of thousands of taels of reserve silver, which was nothing. However, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, and it can only be understood secretly, and it cannot be said through words. If the princes knew that it was a bad idea from a minister and let their blood be released, they would probably want to let someone's blood be released.
"Ah!!!" Yang Jing jumped up happily, and his fist hit his palm. How could he forget such a simple thing? How could he forget the bank's function of savings in later generations? Since he was doing a bank, then absorbing savings is an important function! How did he forget this? More importantly, Xu Guangqi asked himself to find those vassal kings to absorb the vassal kings? What a talent? This... is really a way of wealth! When Yang Jing thinks about the fatness of the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty, he drools. What Yang Jing remembers the deepest is that it seems that Li Zicheng attacked a big city for a long time, but many times, and among them,
The important reason is that the prince in this big city has put out huge sums of money to reward the soldiers. When the soldiers have money, their combat effectiveness will naturally be high. With the tall walls, Li Zicheng can only suffer. Yang Jing thought to himself, if he finds such an enlightened prince to attract the crown prince, he will be afraid that there will be no big problem! Such a prince is quite sensible, and he cries poor, explains more and explains more, and has a relationship. Besides, this is just a sucking deposit, not forcing them to donate money, and there is still interest every year. If such a prince has a few more, he will have a million taels of reserve silver, there will be no problem! Thinking of this, Yang Jing was happy. Xu Guangqi is still a little clever! No, great wisdom...
Several people were startled by the emperor's big moves. Seeing the emperor's happiness, they understood that the idea Xu Guangqi said might have touched the emperor.
Bi Ziyan also had a little wink and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to store the silver that you don't need in your family in your money house to share your worries!" Bi Ziyan followed up immediately. This is a good time to show loyalty! Although the money may not be kept a lot, he must do enough in this posture.
Sun Chengzong frowned and was still thinking about Xu Guangqi's problem, and was still worried about Xu Guangqi. Seeing that Bi Ziyan suddenly followed, he realized that he had already left the house. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zixian's idea is indeed high and wonderful. I also put the money that I don't need in the family in His Majesty's money shop to relieve His Majesty's worries of no silver as a reserve. In addition, I will call on all the ministers in the capital to save money in His Majesty's money shop for His Majesty.
Free up the silver for reserve silver." Sun Chengzong also realized that Xu Guangqi's method was indeed high. However, the idea could only be discussed by the emperor and the princes themselves. Those who are ministers would not be involved in it. If they were jealous of all the vassal kings, this life would not be easy! The open call for officials in the capital to save their own money in His Majesty's money house could also be considered a solution to the emperor's worries that the emperor had no money.
Sun Chengzong was devoted to doing business and taking money. Now he had no complaints or criticisms. After following the emperor to settle the accounts, Sun Chengzong discovered that if the emperor did nothing and became a good "good" emperor, then there was only one way in the Ming Dynasty, that was to die. It would be strange if the emperor did not starve to death if he had to rely on the little money that the Ministry of Revenue had released into the treasury.
"Okay! OK! OK!... OK! Master Xu, Master Sun, this idea is a good thing! This is a good thing, a good thing!... I pay interest, pay interest... I see how much interest I pay! Deposit for one year... I should have a five percent interest..." Yang Jingai was so happy that he was only short of dancing. With a bank, he then found those vassal kings who were as fat as pigs to attract deposits. His own dilemma could greatly alleviate him and was busy reporting the fixed deposit interest of his bank to these people.
Several people on the ground looked at each other again and paid interest?
"Dare you ask Your Majesty, pay interest? What's the solution?" Xu Guangqi asked in confusion. Could the emperor give us money by saving money in the money shop?
"Yes! It's just to pay interest to those who deposit money! Not much, one hundred taels of silver, and in a year, it's only five taels of silver. Don't dislike it, don't dislike it... Haha..." Yang Jing was really happy. Why didn't he think that he could save money even if he opened a bank? Many of his thinking in the Ming Dynasty have been solidified! Now that I think about it, I am the emperor, and I can unspoken the bureaucrats and vassal kings, let them all save money in their own banks, take this money to train the army, build warships, immigrate, and fight. In this way, I can survive the dangerous period of these two years! After these two years, I have countless gold fingers to make money, and I am afraid that I won't pay the interest?
Xu Guangqi and his friends were a little surprised. They have always saved money in money shops. Didn’t we save money to the shops? Why is the emperor still giving us money now? It’s strange that the emperor’s hands are too much.
"Your Majesty... I dare not collect this profit." Xu Guangqi refused.
"Oh? Why? Why don't you? It's natural to save money in the bank and give interest!" Yang Jing asked in confusion. He thought that he had been in the bank for a long time. When he was fine, he looked at the bank's deposit and loan interest. Remember a little. There is definitely interest in depositing money in this bank. I remember that the year I traveled through time, the bank's interest was about three or four percent, but I forgot if I borrowed or loaned.
"Report to Your Majesty, you have always been the one who deposits money in a money shop. The depositor pays money, saying 'customer fee'. Now Your Majesty still pays money to the depositors. This... Your Majesty, I'm afraid of this bank..." Sun Chengzong was very worried. According to the emperor's approach, the bank would have to be closed in a few days, and the money of his colleagues would be wasted. The idea he came up with was completely ruined. The colleagues would not cut themselves off!
"Ah! What? In... the one who saves money and needs to pay money to the bank? Did I hear it right?" Yang Jing was shocked! He almost even said "in ancient times". In ancient times, the heart of opening a bank was not ordinary black! After eating the depositor, eat the borrower and eat it. Eat both ends! It was the first time I heard that there was such a rule.
"Report to Your Majesty, as far as I know, this is true. It will not be wrong..." Sun Chengzong replied immediately.
"Report to Your Majesty, indeed, if you have to pay a custody fee when saving money in the money house," Xu Guangqi also said.
"It's true..." Bi Ziyan said so. This is common sense! This emperor is in a deep palace and doesn't know the life of the people! Several people thought of it so much.
Uh... Yang Jing fell on the dragon throne and suddenly "jumped" again, laughing "haha".
"Okay! OK! OK! This thing is OK! That's it! I still decided to pay the people who save money in my money shop, not much interest, 5% per year." Yang Jie was startled by the rules of the ancient money shop, and then he remembered that with his own money shop that gives interest, others wouldn't have sharpened their heads and save money in the money shop! He could borrow chickens to lay eggs! He would go his own way and leave others with no way out.
When a few people on the ground saw the emperor jumping again, they called him again, and asked him to pay the money to the person who saved money, which was called interest. This, the emperor is so brave! His thoughts are extraordinary! He does things very well!
