Zhu Youxiao was not angry, and he even admired Xiong Tingbi's straightforwardness.

After all, Zhu Youxiao was a time traveler, and he never thought that because these vassal kings and nobles had a close relationship with their Zhu family, they would not attack them and allow them to shake the foundation of the court.

So, Zhu Youxiao said at this time: "What Xiong Aiqing said is that if people only buy grain but don't sell grain, I can't take any action against people. After all, they have not violated the laws and regulations of the country, otherwise it will affect my prestige!"

"But this does not mean that the court has no choice. The vassal kings, nobles, and gentry's high taxes are my grace, but I can also take them back. But now is not the time. I want to convince the people of the world and establish prestige in the world. Naturally, I must punish them without teaching. Therefore, I will issue an edict to the world first, so that those with fields in the world will not maliciously hoard grain and scatter high prices, otherwise I will punish them severely!"

"I know that this edict is of no use for people who only have personal interests but are not loyal to the country. After all, it is difficult to define and find out whether there is malicious food hoarding or not. Whether the food you own is sold or not is indeed something you can deal with, but I still have this edict. This is called first rituals and then troops. In the future, if they do not listen to me, don't blame me for taking back their grace!"

"In addition, although I forbidden those who have land in the world to hoard grain, the imperial court does not prohibit it. Even at this extraordinary time, it should use extraordinary methods. The imperial court not only needs to hoard grain, but also needs to hoard grain!

In the Jiangnan area, because of the resumption of work and production, a large amount of silver coins have to be invested in the public in a short period of time. At that time, it will definitely lead to a surge in grain prices. At that time, more food will be needed to curb it and curb some illegal people who want to take the opportunity to speculate in grain and make money!"

"So, I immediately sent my hand to the cabinet chief Fang Congzhe, and asked him to immediately issue an order to concentrate the food and fodder in the world in Jiangnan, the more the better. I told Fang Congzhe that in the whole process of clearing the fields of Zhangzhou, the enclaves of powerful people, such as vassal kings, nobles, relatives, ministers, etc., must strictly enclaves of powerful people, such as vassals, vassal kings, nobles, relatives, ministers, etc.! It is not to be concealed! No matter who is, as long as it is blocked, he will suspend his salary, suspend his title, and report it to me to deal with it!

Then, all the levies and food collected after clearing the acres of land were transported to Jiangnan!

In addition, all the grain stocks in the capital were transported to Jiangnan, leaving only the white grain needed by the military supplies on the nine borders and the military and civilians of the capital;

In addition, all the food and fodder obtained from the house search in Jiangnan will be kept in Jiangnan for the time being and there is no need to be transported to Beijing for now.

Then, the Maritime Bureau ordered the Maritime Bureau to transport the grain and fodder purchased from the foreign countries over the years to Jiangnan, and continued to purchase grain from the foreign countries. He also asked North Korea, Ryukyu and others to borrow grain from the Chinese Kingdom. If anyone refused to borrow it, it would be considered unfaithful to me! Send a navy to attack and force and punitively collect grain! The same is true for Annan Town Fu Office. It must borrow 30% of the grain from the court, otherwise, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi will lead troops to attack!

Finally, the Grain Industry Bureau sent the reserves of potatoes and other grains and fodder produced in the capital and the Liaodong settlement area to Jiangnan for later use!

In addition, it is immediately recommended to appoint a grain transport envoy, and go to the various governors to purchase grain as a member of the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate of the Censorate. The treasury will be allocated five million silver coins to supplement the national treasury and use it to purchase grain;

As for freight, the 50 million silver deposits from Shanxi merchants and the fake Confucius Mansion over the years were called to collect 50 million silver coins, and first allocate 20 million silver coins to transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River;

"Your Majesty, now in Jiangnan, the imperial court has to allocate 15 million silver coins to the market in order to resume production by merchants and workers to resume business. Now it has to use 25 million silver coins to purchase grain and transport grain, and to circulate them in the market. If this continues, will the number of silver coins circulating in the world further increase?"

Xiong Tingbi had to remind him at this time.

"It's okay to take back the money I've been given. After the loan business is established, the Ming Bank will immediately carry out storage business, establish corresponding regulations, set up branches to transport key areas in various places, and then absorb the people to deposit the excess silver coins back to the bank with interest. At that time, the bank will adjust the interest according to the price of the silver coins on the market! The villagers who participate in the transportation of grain will deposit the excess silver coins into the bank for interest;

I have asked Li Zhizao and others to prepare for this matter in advance. Their duty is to regulate the amount of silver coins in the world at any time. When there are too many silver coins on the market, they will find a way, otherwise if something happens, they will be the first one I will deal with."

Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty is wise! In my opinion, the court should have long controlled the money law in the world, rather than letting it control the powerful and noble gentry, so that the richest people in the world will become richer and the poorer people will become poorer."

Xiong Tingbi echoed.

Although he became a minister and entered the Political Affairs Hall because of his knowledge of military affairs, he was in the center for a long time and was influenced by his knowledge. He was not stupid himself, and he also had to be good at logistics and food dispatch. Therefore, he could now understand what Zhu Youxiao said about bank regulation.

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly: "The money law matters are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. They should be cautious and more complicated. They are considered to be a war without blood and swords and guns. If they are handled well, they can make the world prosperous. If they are handled poorly, they can also cause chaos in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the money law well, summarize more, explore more, and cultivate more officials who are good at understanding the money law. Especially after the 15 million silver coins that were spilled out first flowed into the market, try not to solve it through killing to achieve long-term stability."

As Zhu Youxiao himself said, 15 million silver coins are not a small number in this era.

Because this is about 10 million taels of silver loan, it is equivalent to the silver income of the treasury for several years before the Ming Dynasty's revelation.

Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao used so many silver coins to lend money to stimulate the economy, it caused a great response in the Jiangnan region.

The Ming Bank, newly established in the inner city of Yingtianfu, opened.

Many merchants who had already learned in advance that the imperial court wanted to lower interest rates or even interest-free loans had gathered here early on the first morning of the first day of the bank opening, regardless of the cold.

"Official! I really don't want my interest for these five hundred yuan silver coins?"

However, many merchants still didn't believe that the government would really provide low-interest and interest-free loans. Therefore, at this time, Du Shouchang, the first small merchant who mustered up the courage to borrow, asked a supervisor of the Ming Bank in a little unbelievable way.

The supervisor directly handed a bag of 500 yuan silver coins to Du Shouchang and said, "This is 500 yuan silver coins. Please click it yourself and clearly, and immediately sign and stamp the deed. The deed was written in black and white on the deed. There was no interest within three years. You will start paying a certain interest in three years. If you can't pay it back, use your shop as collateral. Don't you know the word?"

"Oh! OK!"

Du Shouchang couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly took a bag of silver coins, signed and covered his handprints, and then took a bag of silver coins out of the bank.

As soon as other merchants queuing outside the bank came out, they hurriedly stopped and asked Du Shouchang.

"Is it true?"

Among them, a merchant asked a question quickly.

Du Shouchang hurriedly picked up the silver and shook it, and took out the contract book he gave to the merchant to show it: "Look, it's true! If I borrowed the 500 silver dollars, if I repay the principal within three years, I don't have to pay interest!"

After seeing this, the merchant was excited: "This is really great! It seems that the officials around the emperor didn't tell lies at that time! The emperor really cares about our lives and death!"

"Yes! You don't have to borrow money from wealthy people now. As long as you spend money, I can start my duck shop again!"

Another merchant also agreed.

For a moment, these ordinary merchants who came to Daming Bank to prepare for loans were all happy.

...

Du Shouchang also returned to his garment shop with the money, and at this time, six men had already stood outside his garment shop.

These six men are all old men who used to work for Du Shouchang.

"Owner! When will your shop be opened? If you don't open it again, we will have no way out when the government's subsidies are used up! We don't want the wages you owe us, okay?"

"Yes! The boss! There are not many nearby shops that have opened, so we can't find any other jobs."
