Chapter 1212: Please go down to the mortal world
Hara and Lin were once the capital of the Mongol Empire, and Genghis Khan once had a palace here. At least before Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty and moved the capital to Beijing, this place was always the political and economic center of the grassland empire.
However, the palaces here are far inferior to the Forbidden City, not to mention that they encountered many wars back then. Therefore, they are almost completely destroyed. Even after Zhu Di ordered people to repair them urgently, they could only barely use them.
After careful sorting, Zhu Di is currently staying here as the base camp for the entire grassland aftermath. Tang Shaozhe hurried back to Hala and Lin from the capital, and was summoned here by the emperor as soon as possible.
A dozen white candles as thick as a child's arms were lit around, illuminating the entire hall extremely brightly.
Zhu Di sat in the center, listening carefully to Tang Shaozhe's explanation. There were two cabinet ministers - Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi, who were also very studious and listened.
After leaving Beijing, although Tianji Pavilion - the radio station - is in contact with the center at any time, basically all things that happened in the inland of the Ming Dynasty can be transmitted back as soon as possible. However, a lot of information is not enough by hearing it alone, so Tang Shaozhe's mission to return to Beijing this time also has the latest news to bring back to the capital.
"...The improvement of the Sun and Moon Coin System requires full support from the court. All the above is what I can say."
After finally Tang Shaozhe ended his long speech, Zhu Di rarely didn't speak quickly. The financial knowledge just now shocked him, and of course there was also dissatisfaction with Tang Shaozhe.
When talking about the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu didn't think much about it. In his understanding, Tang Shaozhe's so-called bank at least sounded like a product of an existence similar to a bank.
But he never expected that the Sun and Moon coins similar to those of money-makers could be circulated directly on the market.
When he received a telegram from Beijing, he was stunned on the spot. According to the telegram, everyone in the capital is happy to use sun and moon coins. Especially merchants, they regard it as a must. The biggest feature of carrying light and credit-rich currency is its convenience and circulation. In the past, when they went out to do business, the most worried thing was to carry money.
Whether it is gold, silver or copper coins, the biggest problem brought by the huge amount of carrying is the weight of the currency itself. Not to mention the inconvenience of carrying, and the goal of going out is still relatively obvious.
The reason why money shops became popular when they came back was the first to solve this problem. But compared to paper money, sun and moon coins, it is still inconvenient to exchange. The money itself is just an intermediary token, and it can only be used for large-scale transactions.
Moreover, the areas where redemption tickets can be passed must have corresponding money houses. Moreover, the use of redemption tickets is not free, otherwise where will the dividends of the money house come from? However, in order to avoid trouble, many merchants still often use redemption tickets.
For this reason, we need to endure the influence of adverse factors such as the restriction of circulation scope, payment of redemption interest, market recognition of the credit of the bank, etc. It was not until the birth of Sun and Moon coins that the adverse situation was completely reversed.
Therefore, after the birth of the Sun and Moon Coin, the most cheerful class in the Ming Dynasty was the merchants. They almost thirstyly absorbed all the Sun and Moon Coin that could be exchanged for incredible greed. It was precisely because of the support of the merchant class that the Sun and Moon Coin flowed to the Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed.
The original radiation range was limited to the capital, and the sun and moon coins were rampant across the country in a very short period of time. It can be said that it was the result of the support of merchants. In the circulation field of the Ming Dynasty, no one could influence society more than merchants.
The targets of daily trading of the people are merchants. As long as they sincerely recognize the circulation of Sun and Moon coins, the people will use them naturally. Moreover, the Sun and Moon coins are indeed very convenient and exquisitely made.
But Zhu Di and the Ming Cabinet were puzzled by this - the issuance of Sun and Moon coins was too short, and it was amazing that such powerful power burst out in just a short time.
To be honest, Sun and Moon Coin is a new type of banknote, and the Ming Dynasty has not issued paper money. The actual value of the Daming Baochao will never be equal to the denomination from the day it is issued, but some people are purchasing and using Sun and Moon Coin at a premium. This kind of thing is unimaginable by the leadership of the Ming central government, including Zhu Di, and it must be asked clearly.
Even Zhu Di made up his mind and asked Tang Shaozhe to make it clear in any case. Even if the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote cannot be turned into a premium banknote like Sun and Moon coins, which everyone is rushing to enter the circulation field, at least not the decline is too big, right?
Both are paper money, and the gap between Sun and Moon coins and Daming Baochao is too big. The former can exceed the denomination value and enter the market for circulation at a premium; the latter starts to shrink from the date of issuance, and the actual value is always lower than the denomination value.
However, after Tang Shaozhe made a lot of explanations, several students, including Zhu Di, did not understand.
The issuance of banknotes that they regarded as pediatrics before, and I never knew there were so many other things.
Zhu Di and others, who originally thought that they could learn the mystery by just stealing their skills, became more and more confused after Tang Shaozhe’s unconcealed narrative. The issuance of paper money is actually a big article on governing the country!
However, these fresh theories may sound reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, you will feel that it is plausible. From beginning to end, the whole article is analyzing and calculating the results from the perspective of interests. Can people get along with each other all need to be measured by interests? How can the country of Chinese etiquette be influenced by such a crooked theories?
At first glance, I felt that Tang Shaozhe's words made sense, but after thinking deeply, I found that it was nonsense.
Especially Jin Youzi and Yang Shiqi, they kept listening and shook their heads. Confucian children valued the sages inside and the kings outside, while the theories mentioned by Tang Shaozhe were completely the way of power and conspiracy.
So even Zhu Di felt that something was hard to accept was completely opposed to it.
At least in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to ask these people to consider the problem according to modern thinking - especially those Confucians - at all! So after Tang Shaozhe finished speaking with a dry mouth, he saw that several people were full of contemplation.
Although the Confucian ministers opposed power and governance, the theories that Tang Shaozhe said were too new. But if you think about it carefully, it really makes sense, at least it is not just nonsense to deceive the reputation.
Moreover, in terms of actual results, the situation of the Sun and Moon coins is much better than that of the Daming Baochao. However, although the theory is good, you can only listen to it. It is completely incompatible with the aesthetics of Confucian philosophy, so this policy cannot be copied by the central government.
Tang Shaozhe didn't think of this, and just tried his best to promote his views. In his opinion, if the Ming Dynasty, which has been proven by the development trend of the world, could fully implement his plan, it would not be impossible to enter modern times in advance. Moreover, Tang Shangxian could receive another more faith, and currency had a great impact on human daily life.
What this great move that affects everyone - whether poor or rich - can reap more than the standard energy formed by the power of faith.
Just as he was excited to have the next exchange with Zhu Di, Ming Chengzu, who had been silent for a long time, changed the topic: "I wonder what good things did the National Master find for the Grassland Alliance this time?"
"The next thing is to expand... Uh, what did you say?" Zhu Di's words were too unexpected to Tang Shaozhe, so he almost bit his tongue: "Your Majesty, your speed of changing topics is too fast, right?"
This kind of thinking sensitivity simply refers to the temptation of everything. It is said that politicians have great active thinking, but now Tang Shaozhe finally believes it. He can actually transfer a certain topic in an instant, leaving others at a loss.
"Haha, I don't understand it anyway, so I'll just stop wasting my time. Let me tell you what the news about the Grassland Alliance is about? This is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, so it's normal for me to care more."
Tang Shaozhe's eyes rolled and he showed a strange smile: "Don't worry if I do things, no one will cheat you. But this matter will not work if it is said, so it's better to keep it confidential.
Not to mention Zhu Di's eyes suddenly showed joy, even the two cabinet scholars who still had opinions about Tang Shaozhe were full of envy. Tang Shangxian never missed the accident."
"But because of our friendship, it will not be completely confidential." Tang Shaozhe looked like a charlatan at this time.
Now Zhu Di has learned his lesson, and he will not show off his eagle until he sees a rabbit: "I would like to ask the National Master to tell you clearly, so I can also learn more about it in advance."
"Well, okay, at least I can say something to you in advance. I went to the cultivation world this time, but I specially invited many big figures to come down to earth to watch from the heavenly world. As for who it is, you still need to ask Your Majesty to come and tell it carefully that day. However, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem. It can be regarded as letting those prairie buns see how powerful the Emperor of Ming is! After this alliance, the peace of the grassland is just around the corner!"
As soon as this statement was made, everyone was shocked. Although the son did not say anything, the strange powers and magical powers could not stop the two great masters in the cabinet. They were also full of curiosity! It was amazing that Tang Shangxian invited great figures to the mortal world from the cultivation world.
Zhu Di even started to pester, wanting to know what tricks Tang Shaozhe was going to play on the day of the alliance?
However, Tang Shaozhe refused to say it, and he persisted until the end and said: "Have I ever disappointed you? Even if I wait, I will definitely achieve the best results."
As a result, everyone, including Zhu Di, began to look forward to a lot of expectations for the Grassland Alliance. Many guards and eunuchs heard the news, and they soon ushered in various expectations after they spread it.
The biggest expectation is: Who is the one who invited Tang Shangxian from the cultivation world to come to the mortal world to participate in the Grassland Alliance of His Majesty? If this step is added to this stage, it will be almost the same as Fengshan Mountains!
