Chapter 230: The Great Tragedy

Yang Jing originally planned to cover up this matter. After covering it, he could get a lot of money. If he didn't, he had to find a way.

"What Guo Qing's family said is good. Since it has talked about sharing money and interest, then let's talk about how to share money and interest, or talk about how to share money and interest in the past." Yang Jingwei was about to see what this guy was going to do.

"Your Majesty, I dare not say how to share the money interest. However, in the past, the money interest obtained from creating new money would be roughly distributed to the Ministry of Revenue... However, I heard from Your Majesty that the fire of this silver coin is only 10% spent. I am afraid that the money interest is not much, which is much lower than the 20% fire consumption collected by ordinary prefectures and counties. Therefore, I think that if you can get one cent of the money interest, you will be blessed, and I dare not say much." Guo Yunhou said.

Yang Jing was surprised. What this guy said is that one cent of interest is enough. Wouldn’t that mean that he can get the remaining nine cents of the money in this money? What does this mean? What does it mean to collect 20% of the normal fire consumption in prefectures and counties? Only 10% of his fire consumption? Yang Jing was puzzled. Did he do something wrong again?

"Since the Guo Qing family said that, let's settle it like this. The interest I received in the fire consumption of the silver coins, and every penny of interest was given to the Ministry of Revenue. The rest belongs to me. Is there nothing to say to you? "When you see that this matter is very profitable, Yang Jingyi immediately decided on this matter. What's strange is that even this guy who exposes the fog he has set up only has a profit of one cent, and Yang Jingyi can't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, be at ease, I have something to say." Bi Ziyan stood up.

"Oh, Bi Qing's family, what's wrong?" Yang Jing wondered, why did others have no objections, and Bi Ziyan has another objection? This is his own person!

"Report to Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty, your Majesty's silver coins are 89% silver, 10% copper, 10% copper? 70% and 20% of the total treasury? 70% and 20% of the value?" Bi Ziyan seemed very anxious.

"Yes! What's wrong? Bi Aiqing? This is indeed my decision." Yang Jie replied. This is the proportion of Yuan Datou who he copied, so it should not be wrong! This was successfully issued and hundreds of millions of them were cast in a year.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty casts silver coins with 10% of the fire consumption. In this way, the people of the world will definitely rush to use Your Majesty's silver coins. But, Your Majesty, can you still make money?" Bi Ziyan did not care about the eyes of other court officials and directly opened the skylight and said loudly.

However, even though I opened the skylight and said in a daze, the emperor was still confused. He said, "This can indeed make some money, but not much, and the Ministry of Revenue has been divided into some, so I don't have much left. The family saw that my treasury can run away from me, so they didn't argue with me. Haha, let's decide this." Yang Jing decided to rush to make a decision. As for why Bi Ziyan was so anxious, Yang Jing didn't understand. In the plan, he could earn tens of millions of silver coins every year.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection." Guo Yunhou took himself as the Minister of Revenue seriously and immediately went ahead.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection." The ministers shouted that there was no objection.

Yang Jingqian was wondering again, what's going on? So active?

Look at Xu Guangqi again, Xu Guangqi looked calm, and then look at Bi Ziyan, looking anxious. Yang Jingwei doesn't understand what happened.

Yang Jing felt something was strange. After waiting for a long time, no one came out to object. This was a strange thing. He only gave the Ministry of Revenue one cent of interest, but no one came out to say that the gift was too low. It was really strange.

Yang Jing waited for a long time, but no one came out to object. What happened to the ministers today? Have you been fooled by himself?

Yang Jing was always afraid that after the ministers knew that silver coins would make money, they would talk to him and share half of it. Therefore, this matter was always hidden. I thought that when the lid was really unveiled and the whole world was full of Lei Feng, they would only need 10% of the profit.

Alas... Since everyone doesn't object, then pass.

"Since you have no objection, then let's pass it. After the strict statement of Bi Zi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, will be submitted, and then implement it in detail." Yang Jing said tentatively.

Among the ministers, many people blew their mouths and bulged for a long time, but in the end, they didn't say anything. This matter was passed strangely.

Yang Jie felt something was strange, so he was going to ask what happened later.

"Since there is nothing, thank you." Today's meeting was a major event that decided the future direction of the Ming Dynasty. It started grandly, but the ending was extremely simple and there were no passionate and generous words, and it ended naturally.

After a break, Yang Jingiao said, "Big partner, please invite the two masters and Bi Ziyan to the platform. I have something to ask." Although Yang Jing decided on the major event of the Immigration Imperial Envoy today, he really couldn't let go of the matter of minting silver coins. What's wrong? The ministers all had a strange reaction. The reaction was completely opposite to his expectations.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan arrived at the platform.

As soon as he came in, Yang Jie said: "Why did the ministers react so strangely in the matter of coin minting?"

Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi looked at each other. Bi Ziyan saw that the two imperial masters did not speak and said first: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are strange, but that everyone thinks that Your Majesty's fire consumption is too low, and the money interest rate that Your Majesty gives to the Ministry of Revenue is too high, so Your Majesty thinks that the ministers are strange."

"The fire consumption is low? The money interest is too high? Why is this? And that, what does the fire consumption mean when the prefecture and county collect 20%?" Yang Jing asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the fire consumption that Your Majesty said this time is 90% silver, 10% copper. This copper costs money. Although it is cheaper than silver, it is very valuable after all. If you dig out the price of copper, you have to add charcoal, wages, consumption, etc., and this is eliminated. Your Majesty, the interest rate that each silver coin can get is really not much. I guess you will be blessed if you can get three points. You have to prevent someone from doing it. Otherwise, you will have to lose money. Therefore, Guo Yunhou asked His Majesty for one cent of money. This is already very high. There is 30% interest rate for money. Your Majesty... The Ministry of Revenue does not need to be in charge, just sit there.

The family collects money, so the ministers will naturally not say anything. As for the 20% fire consumption, Your Majesty, that is the rule of our dynasty. In history, the government will collect 20% fire consumption from the people if they are cast into silver ingots. So, Your Majesty, you can almost say that who in the world doesn’t use the silver coins minted by Your Majesty? The fire consumption in the government relies on minting silver coins every year, may be gone... Alas, Your Majesty, you miscalculated..." Bi Ziyan answered the question and sighed long. The thing the emperor did today is really a bit 2. Not only did he cut off the wealth path of the states and counties in the world, he also became a great charity for others.

"Ah!..." Yang Jing realized that his one-in-one fire consumption was really incomparable to others, and his heart was really not dark enough. Also, the interest on the minting of silver coins seemed not as much as he had calculated. Maybe he had calculated it wrongly.

"...Your Majesty, this is still normal. It's high, 30% or 40% or 50% is not a strange thing, alas..." Bi Ziyan sighed. This was originally a good thing, but now it has become a loss-making business. Maybe the emperor has to pay money in it. Others collect 20% of the fire consumption, and the emperor collects 10% of the fire consumption here, and the court only allows the imperial edict to use silver coins. In this world, isn't it still used silver coins? The amount of these silver coins has increased, but the emperor has not made any money from it!

This... Yang Jing seemed to have realized something.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly, which led to Your Majesty's mistake. Now I've misunderstood Your Majesty's affairs, so I'll ask Your Majesty to punish you." Xu Guangqi also looked regretful and asked for punishment.

"How is this wrong?" Yang Jingwei asked weakly.

"Oh... Your Majesty! I said at the beginning that I asked Your Majesty to leave 10% of the silver as fire consumption. I know that your Majesty's silver coins account for 90% of the silver coins. No matter what, I can't leave 10% of the silver coins! I originally thought that Your Majesty would mint silver coins according to the method of minting copper coins. If it was eight silver coins and two cents each, then silver accounted for five cents and six cents in each silver coins. If this silver coins are worth seven cents, then there would be one cent of the silver interest in it. If the fire consumption is removed, you can only leave 10% of the silver coins... But Your Majesty now directly accounted for 90% of the silver coins and was worth seven cents and two cents. No matter what, you can't leave 10% of the silver coins!" Although Xu Guangqi was very calm just now, he was only a few of his own people and began to sigh.

"Ah!" Yang Jing was about to collapse. He thought he could make a lot of money, but in fact he couldn't make that much money at all. Yang Jing remembered that on that day, Xu Guangqi gave him an idea to mint silver coins, which was indeed asking him to keep 10% of the silver for fire consumption. He did calculate his income at that time. However, that night, he went back and searched Yuan Datou and felt that Yuan Datou was a model of successful issuance. Anyone like Yuan Datou could successfully issue Yuan Datou. In any case, he would not be worse than him. He was planning to copy Yuan Datou's model of successful issuance. Even the ratio of silver coins was based on Yuan Datou, which was 89% of the silver and 10% of the copper. He knew that he forgot to go to Java by Xu Guangqi's explanation of the fire consumption that he kept 10% of the silver.

Tragedy, tragedy! Yang Jie suddenly realized that he was only concerned about learning Yuan Datou, but ignored Sun Chengzong's words. Yang Jie was stunned. He had feelings, and he was afraid that others would know how to make money by minting silver coins. It turned out that he was just digging a hole and burying himself!

"Doesn't that mean it's difficult for me to make money in minting silver coins?" Yang Jing understood that the tragedy of minting silver coins himself. He set the proportion of silver in the silver coins too high, almost catching up with the value of the currency, and there was almost no room for him.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to the proportion set by Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult to make money. As Zi Yan said, it is already a blessing to lose money in this fire consumption, and it is already a blessing to make three cents of silver... Now, if you want to make money, you can only reduce the proportion of silver in silver coins to silver eight and bronze two. In this way, Your Majesty can make 10% of silver, no, or reduce it to silver 8 and 16 and be worth seven cents of gold. In this way, Your Majesty may be able to make money from it. Alas... But if Your Majesty does this, it is Your Majesty himself who cheats. This will easily hurt Your Majesty's reputation. At that time, I am afraid that the court officials will not let it go easily!" Xu Guangqi quickly calculated the proportion of silver and money and reported the number.

"... Perhaps, Your Majesty, you can discuss it again with all the adults, and re-set the ratio of the silver coins to what Master Xu said about 84% silver and 16% copper. In this way, you can earn 70% to 80% silver. Your Majesty..." Bi Ziyan immediately followed Xu Guangqi's words and gave the emperor an idea.

"Oh... Your Majesty has just decided on the silver nine and bronze one today, and now it is going to change it again. Isn't this a joke? Isn't this a joke? Isn't this telling the people of the world that your Majesty will change every day? This is absolutely not possible..." Xu Guangqi immediately made a statement to stop this path. If he discusses with those ministers about the ratio of silver coins, wouldn't this be a joke about the emperor's seriousness, sacredness, and correctness? Sometimes, the emperor's reputation is more important than that money. If he consumes the emperor's reputation in this way, it is not a good thing.

Tragedy, a big tragedy! Yang Jing finally understood that the money-making is actually a lot more complicated than he imagined. It turns out that the money-making interest is calculated in this way, which is completely different from his original algorithm. After reading a few novels, he felt that he understood the tricks in coining, but in fact, it was not the case at all.

Many books write that the court stipulates that copper is 7, lead and 3. In fact, copper is 6, lead and 4. The difference between copper can be made from it. Yang Jing always thought that this is the secret of making money. In fact, the real secret lies in the value of the currency. The silver coins made of six coins are mixed with other things and are minted together. The weight is 7, 2, and 2 taels of silver are worth 7, 2 taels of silver. This is the secret of making money. What reduces the proportion of silver is just a means of cheating, and it is not a legitimate means at all. This is to pursue legal responsibility.

It's a cheating father!

Yang Jingwei felt that he was a big tragedy.

"Wait, let me think about it, wait..." Yang Jingai didn't know what to do.

No! Yuan Datou won’t lie to me! Why is Yuan Datou so successful? He issued hundreds of millions at a time, and there is no reason why he would fail if he copied his own. Yang Jingwei didn’t believe that Yuan Datou was a good person and would not make money from minting silver coins. What would he do?

It's not right, Bi Ziyan said that people in the world will definitely rush to use silver coins, and the issuance volume is not a problem, but if you can't make money, Bi Ziyan said that in this fire consumption, you can earn up to three cents of silver and get one cent of the account department. Wouldn't you only earn two cents of silver? That is to say, you can earn two million in 100 million silver coins? This is really a bit of a scam. If you continue like this, you will be a waste of work. No wonder the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue said a few light words. It's true that others understand how much profit there is and feel that they are not at a loss, so they agreed, and they are the only fools who don't understand it.

The tragedy of a huge size!

Yang Jing finally faced this problem. Since it was happening soon, as Xu Guangqi said, it was difficult for him to take back what he had just said. This three-point profit is three-point profit, no, two-point profit, just two-point profit. Sometimes the emperor's credibility is more important than money.

Yang Jing decided to follow Yuan Datou's trajectory. This is a typical success. If he does not follow the typical success, he will be afraid that there will be some trouble. Although he doesn't make much money according to Yuan Datou's ratio, he still makes a profit after all.

"I have decided that it will be based on my previous decision. Silver coins are minted in a proportion of 89% silver and 10% copper. Bi Aiqing, please hurry up and write a note of various currency values. I will start minting silver coins immediately." Yang Jing decided to support his decision. No matter what, from the perspective of productivity, using silver coins is more advanced than using scattered silver coins. From this point of view, I need to support it.

Bi Ziyan said helplessly: "I obey the order."

Bi Ziyan obviously did not come back from the loss of this huge size. He still felt that the minting of coins was a huge loss and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"If you have anything, just say it." Yang Jingjie said.

"Report to Your Majesty, have your Majesty considered the matter of casting?"

"Casting a book? How do you say this?" Yang Jingai asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, these coins have always been minted, let alone making money with silver coins? The minting required is probably not a small amount!" Bi Ziyan felt that today was very cowardly and unhappy, and felt that he had suffered a great loss.

"This, I understand. I have to collect the silver and then mint it. There is a process in which it really requires a certain capital turnover. Bi Aiqing, look, how much capital turnover is required to mint billion silver coins every year?" Yang Jingxie asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, a silver coin costs five or six thousand yuan, so it is calculated as six coins. This is minted billions, which means 60 million taels of silver. From collecting scattered silver to minting silver coins, and then sending it out, there is a process in which one turnover per ten thousand yuan per year, which is thirty-sixty years old. Therefore, the minting cost is probably 1 or 2 million taels of silver." Bi Ziyan calculated the account, which was so sad. The emperor worked hard for a year and putting in two million yuan in minting, and he could only make two million yuan by the end of the year. This business was a big loss.

With a "boom", Yang Jing felt like he was thundering! It turned out that he had to pay 2 million taels of silver in this business. By the end of the year, he would only earn 2 million taels of silver. It turned out that he was a living Lei Feng, who specialized in doing good deeds, sacrificed my 2 million taels of silver to be happy for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yang Jing realized that today was not an ordinary tragedy, but a huge tragedy. He was so busy that he was not very adaptable to the "project" he was busy and was not very suitable for the land. He didn't talk about the 2 million minting capital. The key is that he had only made 2 million yuan in silver, and he had to pay 2 million yuan. Is this profit too low? What's more, he can't afford the 2 million minting capital now, and now he is hungry for feeding!
