Chapter 1024 Light and Darkness, Innovation and Conservation
Members of the Ming Dynasty’s Baochao Reorganization Committee: President Xia Yuanji, Honorary President Zhu Gaosui, members Youfang Xing, Jian Yi, and Yang Rong.
Although the number of people is not large, the lineup is strong, almost representing several forces in the court.
The first meeting was held at the Ministry of Revenue. Fang Xing came late and chatted with the guards at the door for a few words about the weather before Xia Yuanji came out and took it in.
Jian Yi and Yang Rong were sitting in Xia Yuanji's room, while Zhu Gaosui sat on the side of the window, with no light, and his fair skin looked a little dark.
"Xing He Bo has such a big stand, the last one is here!"
When Zhu Gaosui's Yin tests, he pretended that he didn't hear the emperor at the court meeting. Zhu Gaosui's heart was punished!
Xia Yuanji coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty has made a great decision to completely turn the Ming Dynasty's treasure money around, thinking that peace will be brought to life in the future."
Once the Baochao is stabilized, the future Ming currency will completely become a credit currency. This is of great significance and it is difficult to compare with other things.
Jian Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap, but Fang Xing knew that this person was deeply trusted by Zhu Di. In this small group, he provided information from the corresponding officials and supervised their ethics and abilities.
Yang Rong seemed very leisurely, and his role was to take charge of the general manager and coordinate various departments.
As for Zhu Gaosui, who hides his face into the darkness, his role is to represent Zhu Di to supervise the direction of the whole matter. If there are any problems, you can stop it, and then everyone goes to the imperial court to sue.
Xia Yuanji looked at everyone and said, "Everyone knows the consequences of Baochao, everyone should also know the consequences of being abused in the past. In recent years, distribution has been tightened and linked to the salt administration, which is better."
This is Xia Yuanji's proud thing. Without his decisiveness, Baochao would have long become waste paper.
"Speak up, please brainstorm and do this."
Xia Yuanji had some intrigue in his mind, but he just wanted to let everyone talk about their opinions and add some details.
Jian Yi shook his head slightly and said lightly: "I have been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years and are powerless to the money."
This person is not ready to interfere with things outside the functions of the Ministry of Personnel and is deeply grateful for the essence of Ming and protecting himself.
As the 'prime minister', Yang Rong must express his opinion. He said: "Baochao is of great importance and is closely related to people's livelihood. Lord Xia will talk about the general strategy."
Xia Yuanji nodded and said, "I opened treasure money to exchange for silver, thinking it was credit. Forgery is prohibited, and the whole family is exiled, and the main culprit is beheaded!"
It sounds very simple, but the eyes of the people in the room lit up instantly.
Zhu Gaosui was the first to ask: "Mr. Xia, can you exchange treasure money for silver?"
This news has never been released. Everyone thought that the Ming Dynasty would not learn from Yingzhou and other places. After all, the population is too large and the inventory of Baochao is too large. If the exchange is released, Xia Yuanji will have to hang himself the next day.
Yang Rong knew it, so he was silent.
Jian Yi was still silent. Even if he could exchange it, he would not go with his caution.
Zhu Gaosui's face was changing. Zhu Di rewarded him with a lot of treasure money. The amount was so large. If he could exchange it in the Ministry of Revenue first, wouldn't it be beautiful!
Fang Xing looked at the reaction of everyone and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the people. As for exchange, Fang thought it was time to let Xunqi and officials set an example!"
Jian Yi's eyes flashed, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
"Xinghe Bo, if they cannot exchange it, then what is the point of this treasure banknote?"
Zhu Gaosui said in surprise, then looked at Yang Rong.
Lao Yang, it’s your turn to the critical moment!
At this time, you can see your respective positions.
Yang Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "Where is the luxury merchant?"
This is the most obscure and thorough test.
What is a luxury businessman?
A big career and a lot of money!
Is the Ching Chamber of Commerce just a Ching Chamber of Commerce?
Of course not. Behind every wealthy businessman is the powerful, and even the powerful, their own industries.
So one sentence represents the powerful businessman and the powerful, and in fact it is just an opponent's proposal.
Xia Yuanji glanced at Fang Xing and hinted that he would not fight back for the time being, and wait until the matter was unfolded before he could slowly plan it.
Fang Xing looked at this look and smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, Fang still said that the rich businessmen have no country, so these people should suppress them! They are allowed to make money, but they should not be less taxed. They are not allowed to communicate with officials. If they find out, they will be dealt with together, and even the officials will be dealt with together, and their families or related people will not be allowed to be officials!"
The counterattack came quickly and obscurely. Yang Rong's expression changed. He looked at Jian Yi, but Jian Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.
Zhu Gaosui was smart and clever when he was a child. Of course he knew the Ming Dynasty's strategy to suppress business. He frowned and said, "Xinghe Bo, but your family seems to be a wealthy merchant, right?"
good!
This counterattack was even more fierce, and it was to attack the son's shield with his spear.
Everyone looked at Fang Xing, wanting to see how this person responded to Zhu Gaosui's rebuttal.
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Fang has paid the tax, and... Fang's family is not short of money, there are only two of them. As for the Sihai Market, if you want to know, you can ask Your Majesty. Fang will not repeat it here."
Pay taxes!
Moreover, my family has only two first-class people, so how can this be considered a luxury businessman?
There were members of the palace in the market in the four seas, and even the fewest members of Zhu Zhanji, so when Fang Xing said that, Zhu Gaosui was speechless.
"Mr. Fang's family business is probably less than one percent of that of His Highness."
As Zhu Di's beloved son, Zhu Gaosui had almost never stopped rewarding and had a lot of land. If you talk about wealth, Fang Xingming's property was really far from that.
These days, the land is hard currency. If a family does not have tens of thousands of acres of good land, don’t talk about being luxurious.
Fang Xing lives in a farm outside the city, and there are no luxury houses in the city. He almost couldn't support the farmhouse households with less land. He is considered a "scum" among the honorary relatives!
Even the farmer can’t support it. Isn’t this a scum?
Zhu Gaosui looked at Fang Xing coldly and said, "Those honors and relatives are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. If you say you don't want to repay, you won't repay. If something happens, will you come and protect the situation?"
Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to throw the pot. This must be done, otherwise everyone can go home now and don't do anything!"
Yang Rong said: "Brother Xinghe, let's go step by step, let's put Xunqi aside first!"
This is a way to compromise, starting with the people.
Fang Xing sighed, stood up and pushed open the window. The room suddenly shone brightly. Zhu Gaosui, who was by the window, blocked his eyes with his hands.
Fang Xing stood by the window and pointed outside and said, "How much money can the people have? And most of them have copper coins, and the minimum treasure banknotes is 100 cents. How many families are willing to change it to silver? How much money can they be exchanged for? After the exchange, the silver cannot be used. Are the people willing? Are they willing to drink the northwest wind?"
Fang Xing was extremely grateful that the people of the Ming Dynasty were not rich at this time. If every family was well-off, the policy of exchanging money would be to die.
