Chapter 637 Let these country bumpkins learn a lot(2/2)

In the past two years, the imperial court's taxes have increased, the New Deal has been implemented rapidly, gold and silver from overseas have continued to pour in, and many copper mines have been discovered and mined.

The Ming Dynasty now has no shortage of these things.

It is fully capable of formulating a new monetary system.

Zou Xueyu, the governor-general of Zhili, who was sitting next to him, had a look of joy in his eyes.

The gold to silver ratio outside is now one to three.

If the silver number represents the imperial court at this time, the ratio of one to ten will be determined.

Zou Xueyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

By then, I'm afraid there will be corpses hanging everywhere.

Everyone chose to ignore and tolerate Zou Xueyu's laughter.

After all, Zou Xueyu has endured too many slanders these days.

The first direct governor-general of the Ming Dynasty is facing unprecedented pressure.

Why did the establishment of the company and bank choose this time and open in a somewhat hasty situation?

What he did was to support the Zhili Governor's Yamen and try out another innovation of Hongwu's New Deal in Daowei, Zhili.

Xia Yuanji continued: "Wei Chen and below will give orders to the Ministry of Household Affairs. People in the 18 prefectures of Zhili Road can subsequently set up bank branches in each prefecture and county, and exchange treasure banknotes for banknotes at market prices, or later.

Exchange treasure notes for silver notes."

Zhu Yunxi immediately affirmed and said: "You should not issue too many silver banknotes. This is the reputation of the imperial court. The gold and silver banknotes should be used as the basis for the total number of banknotes. They should be issued according to the amount. They should not be used to cause harm to the country."

The casting of gold, silver and copper coins has become imperative.

As for banknotes, that is, banknotes, the royal family and the cabinet are very cautious.

After a reminder, Zhu Yunxi's eyes moved to Sun Gou'er beside him.

Although both bank accounts and merchant houses were managed by both inside and outside the palace, bank accounts were still dominated by the imperial court, and most of the people employed were transferred from the imperial court. However, merchant houses were almost all managed by the imperial court.

People who come from Si Yamen.

After all, even now, in the eyes of the officials above the court, businessmen are still out of the ordinary. Even if they make money for the country, they are still untouchable.

This gave people from the twenty-four bureau offices of the inner court an opportunity to go out of the palace to work on errands.

When Sun Gouer saw His Highness Taisun looking over, he stood up immediately.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the company has borrowed one million taels from the bank to use it to go to the countryside to buy people's grain during the autumn harvest in Zhili Road."

Zhu Yunxi was smiling.

Since those people in Zhili Road were planning to make a fortune by borrowing money from their mother-in-law, he wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to give them a hard beating.

"I have been to Shanglinyuan Prison before, and what the young master said is very pertinent. This year is a rare good harvest year. The rice is growing very well. I think the harvest will be a surprise. In addition, the weather has been beautiful recently, and the harvest is coming.

There is no wind or rain, and the millet can be stored in the warehouse after being beaten and dried in two days. The business is for the benefit of the people. The price of grain should be compared with previous years. Based on this, there must be no shortage of the people."

Sun Gouer nodded repeatedly.

At this point, today's affairs are mostly settled.

The establishment of business houses and bank accounts at this time was indeed aimed at those people in Zhili Province who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune while fighting against the Governor's Yamen.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dark. Like Zou Xueyu, he wanted to see how many hanging corpses there would be in Zhili Road.

Zhu Yunxi has always hated those people who exploited the common people either through monopoly or through raising and lowering prices.

Since they can use the method of raising the price of silver to purchase the grain harvested this autumn at a low price.

Zhu Yunxi doesn't mind letting these rubes see what financial war is like.

In particular, it is a financial war carried out under the rule of strong power.

On the carriage returning to the palace from Xuanwu Lake, Zhu Gaochi sat silently by the window, glancing at Zhu Yunxi from time to time.

Zhu Yunxi was a little annoyed by being stared at.

He opened his eyes and glared at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "Don't say these things, you just thought of them! I really thought that you had thought of these things before returning to Beijing, right?"

He had no doubts, but was very sure that this was a question.

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.

"The New Deal has reached a critical moment and new changes must be made."

"The establishment of Zhili Road was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that our old man would still have such great courage."

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips: "So you took the opportunity to get these things done?"

"That's right." Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Since local people dare to raise the price of silver, they even raise money at the expense of mortgages, just to peel off a layer of flesh from the hands of the people and enrich themselves. So...

… Naturally, I didn’t hesitate to use my bank account to set an equal amount of money, so that they would all be successful and settle down this time.”

"Is it just Zhili Road?" Zhu Gaochi was a little doubtful.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "The bank account is naturally not limited to Zhili Road. The treasure bank account is now beginning to show signs of decline, but the imperial court is very rich now. It can only be said that it just happened to step on this opportunity. But what really matters is still

The banknotes at the back are anchored with gold and silver. In the future, my Ming Dynasty will really show off its power when it comes to foreign transactions."

Use pieces of paper to return massive resources, and then completely control the economic lifeline of all known regions in the world.

Zhu Yunxi really wanted to try it and see if he could do it.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "What's the business name?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xiaopang and said softly: "Some things can be left to the private sector, but some things, I think, are better left in the hands of the court."

The carriage became quiet.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and finally leaned gently against the carriage.

He now wanted to see how those people who raised a lot of money but found they couldn't spend it would react.
