Wang Buli looked suspicious. Why did he ask?
Could it be that you want to propose marriage to me?
inappropriate.
"Go back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, my father is already making preparations."
Wang Buli's answer made Li Jinglong very dissatisfied.
Just say you're not married, what's the point of talking about it?
If the prince proposes marriage to you, even if it is a concubine from a noble family, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes.
However, Li Jinglong then thought about it and thought that Wang Buli was a man with great ambitions and wanted to be the prime minister in the future. It might not be appropriate to marry a concubine.
Zhu Biao nodded and said without following this topic:
"Wang Buli, I just heard from Li Jiujiang that you are familiar with the Ming Dynasty laws. If you catch these people involved in the counterfeit banknote case, how should you be punished?"
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you should be beheaded."
Wang Buli didn't hesitate at all. If Lao Zhu punished him for this kind of thing, it would be death.
"But what he said just now is that you want to intercede for the craftsman who made the counterfeit money?"
Prince Zhu Biao waved his arms and leaned forward slightly:
"You mean that even if we deal with this group of criminals in the counterfeit banknote case, we still can't stop the trend of counterfeit banknotes?"
Li Jinglong felt like shit, he should have said it was me just now, how could he put all these words on Wang Buli's head.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he should be executed, but Wang Buli wanted to intercede for the person who made counterfeit money.
Now he's shooting himself in the foot, which is going to be troublesome.
"Dare you ask His Royal Highness how much money you spend on weekdays?"
Wang Buli ignored this question and focused on asking you questions and I asked mine.
Zhu Biao was obviously stunned for a moment when Wang Buli asked.
We told him this, why did he tell me that?
"No flowers."
Wang Buli turned his head and asked, "Do you two have the opportunity to spend money in person on weekdays?"
Lan Yu shook his head slightly. He had been fighting in the army. Even when he returned home, it was his wife who took care of the money, and he didn't care at all.
Even if we went out to drink tea and eat in the past two days, it was all paid for by the guards around us and reimbursed when we went home.
Li Jinglong has not yet had any experience in the military.
When it comes to spending money, as soon as he opens his mouth, many people will help him get it done.
Which noble second generation has no need to bring his own money?
"Your Highness, since the Ming Dynasty last year's treasure banknotes, this year, we will not say anything about washing clothes, being exposed to rain, or accidentally tearing a corner of the treasure banknotes.
Normal banknotes will get old as they are spent throughout the year, right? "
"Correct."
Zhu Biao nodded.
"Young Master, if I have two treasure banknotes, one new and one old, to spend at Ye Qinhuai, do you think the accountant would like me to give him the new banknotes or the old banknotes?"
"Of course it's new money."
Li Jinglong also checked the accounts to prevent anyone from embezzling his profits, which were all His Majesty's money.
Old banknotes are difficult to identify and easy to counterfeit.
"No, I should have both."
Lan Yu argued hard. He had also heard about Ye Qinhuai's name, and a precious note was simply not enough to spend.
"Ah, yes, yes." Li Jinglong nodded repeatedly.
"General, I am using this as a metaphor, just like the contact with a drifting bottle."
The corners of Lan Yu's mouth curled up, her head continued to rise, and she ignored Wang Buli's words.
Wang Buli couldn't help but rolled his eyes, why did he meet Lan Yu, a steel bar? He was suitable for working on construction sites.
"His Royal Highness the Prince himself can tell that the common people like the new and hate the old when it comes to treasure banknotes."
"you're right."
Wang Buli spread his hands and said: "It's been a long time, and the old banknote says 100 Wen, but why should I recognize it?"
Even if I recognize a hundred coins, if I take it to spend it, will the next person recognize it?
Going a step further, His Royal Highness, the government does not even recognize the old banknotes.
I, an ordinary citizen, don’t have much money, so why should I suffer this loss!
Isn’t this damn thing bullying thousands of honest people?
Once public dissatisfaction deepens, the consequences will be disastrous.
Even though people know that the money they have is counterfeit, as long as it is new and can be spent, it is genuine.
Besides, how many people in the Ming Dynasty can read and understand the words written on treasure banknotes? "
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting behind him, was also buzzing at this time.
He did not expect that old and new banknotes have different values in the eyes of ordinary people.
Lan Yu didn't understand what Wang Buli meant when he said these words that had nothing to do with the case, and just stood there in a daze.
He was not interested in these things at all. He enjoyed discussing the direction of the war and deducing the war.
As for Li Jinglong, he had no idea what Wang Buli was talking about using this example.
The prince just wanted to reward you, so why did you get into this topic?
Zhu Biao retracted his scrutinizing movements and leaned on the large chair.
Although the topic was distorted by Wang Buli, what he said was quite reasonable.
Zhu Biao is not very familiar with economics.
His father, Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't have any knowledge in this area, so he himself was said to be ignorant, let alone his great son who taught him.
It is true that Song Lian is a famous scholar.
But he is just a person who writes to encourage students to learn.
Being Zhu Biao's teacher is completely sufficient.
But does he understand economics?
In the Ming Dynasty, no one taught the prince anything about Ming Dynasty economics!
This area is completely blank.
Paper money economics in the early Ming Dynasty was a mess.
It's not as good as the illiterate Mongolian Tatars from outside, who did well in the Yuan Dynasty.
In the Yuan Dynasty's governance, many things were done very badly.
But as far as taking out banknotes is concerned, the people who made this policy still have a pretty good level of economics.
At least it conforms to the laws of economics, borrowing doctrine from the Song Dynasty and applying it well.
When the Yuan Dynasty issued banknotes, silk and silver were used as reserves.
If there is no gold and silver, no banknotes will be issued, and there will be a quota for issuance.
Holders of banknotes could exchange them for gold and silver from the court at any time. They were convertible banknotes, but exchange was not allowed at all in the Ming Dynasty.
This is because Zhu Yuanzhang did not receive this kind of education. He only saw the Yuanfa banknotes, and he selectively adopted doctrine.
Of course, the Yuan Dynasty also inherited the core of the paper currency (Jiaozi) system from the Song Dynasty, which was not passed to Zhu Yuanzhang at all.
The Yuan Dynasty banned the use of copper coins and stipulated that banknotes called "Jiaochao" were the currency in circulation.
Therefore, at that time, China also became the first country in the world to fully use banknotes.
In order to prevent counterfeiting, the words "Forgers shall be punished by death" were clearly written on the banknotes of the Yuan Dynasty.
As nomadic people, the Mongols have no tradition of controlling land and collecting taxes.
Instead, they attach great importance to "taxation" in the circulation process.
This is why the tax package system is extremely popular in Dayuan!
Of course, the Yuan Dynasty was also due to the "Buying" inherited from the Song Dynasty, which was a prosperous business.
In the Yuan Dynasty, some people paid taxes on rivers, bridges, ferries, and wine all over the world. What's more, some people wanted to pay millions of taels of silver to cover the world's salt tax.
These people are almost all monopolized by local powerful people.
With the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the tax farming system was shattered.
However, the Yuan Dynasty issued a large amount of paper money, which was a very convenient and good way to seize wealth from the people.
The Ilkhanate (1258-1411) in West Asia also wanted to adopt this convenient paper currency system, so it invited craftsmen from the Yuan Dynasty and tried to issue paper money.
However, local businessmen did not recognize the value of banknotes and failed.
Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, attached great importance to commerce. The "Maritime Silk Road" and the "Steppe Silk Road" from the Persian Gulf to the coast of China were connected together, creating a commercial route across Eurasia.
Marco Polo wrote in his travel notes that wherever he went, he could pay with banknotes.
Because in Marco Polo's view, it was incredible that people in the Yuan Dynasty could buy very valuable items with just a few pieces of paper.
It was not until the UK learned this method that it broke the silver standard and used the gold standard, which improved the credibility of pound notes and made them a currency in circulation.
The Ming Dynasty's treasure banknote collection department had a fairly complete bureaucracy, but when printing treasure banknotes, there was no reserve.
In form, there is no difference between the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but there are essential differences in nature.
Since the production of Ming Dynasty banknotes began in the eighth year of Hongwu, no reserve system of any kind has been established.
Its printing, issuance, circulation, and use are completely dependent on the enforcement of the state's political power, and it is a non-convertible currency.
The Ming and Song Dynasty banknotes established boundaries every three years and were replaced. The Ming Dynasty banknotes did not establish boundaries when they were first created.
However, the exchange of banknotes is very important, but the exchange of treasure banknotes in the Ming Dynasty did not form a long-term system.
Even if the switching method was later implemented, it was open and closed at times, and did not form a long-term effective system. Moreover, it was a one-way exchange, only releasing but not collecting.
After Wang Buli finished speaking, no one spoke in the hall.
After a long time, Zhu Biao couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Wang Buli, what do you mean by telling us this?"
"Your Highness, I am only worried about myself."
"What are you worried about?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised.
Wang Buli didn't know how to explain inflation to Zhu Biao, so he just said:
"I receive a salary from the imperial court, and the imperial court issues precious banknotes. I may not be able to buy a kilogram of rice in the future with a regular amount of precious banknotes."
Zhu Biao frowned and kept thinking. This was something he had never studied before when dealing with government affairs.
It was true that Wang Buli gave him a big problem when they met for the first time.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang behind him, he also frowned and thought about a solution.
Don’t say that Xiao Zhu doesn’t know it, and neither does Lao Zhu!
Both father and son were embarrassed.
It can be said that Zhu Biao was really embarrassed about Wang Buli's first meeting.
Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "My words of advice are very offensive to my ears."
Even if you, the current prince, have to eat my shit.
Even if Lan Yu forcibly pulled me over to face the Holy Spirit, he wanted me to become a princeling.
Then I will give full play to the skills of "Xiao Nei".
Since you can't escape, I'll just follow the counterfeit banknote case to dig a hole for you, and you can figure out a solution on your own.
If you get angry out of shame, you'd better put me in the position of a minor official and let the prince get busy and clean my forgotten claws.
Li Jinglong looked at Prince Zhu Biao's face and felt something was very wrong.
Wang Buli's words made some sense, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Are you saying that the money the imperial court issued to you will no longer be worth the money once you spend it?"
Lan Yu glanced sideways at Wang Buli.
Wang Buli also glanced at Lan Yu. Isn't he very smart?
Why was it that in the later stages, he couldn't clearly see the situation?
Zhu Yuanzhang not only deceived the common people, but also deceived his ministers.
