"Paper notes?" Fei Yiying stood up and said, "Then let's go see if we can accept it."

Fei Yiying took Songjiang Cotton Merchant and Suzhou Silk Merchant to Baoyuan Bureau in Songjiang Prefecture and began to accept silver coins.

Soon, 138,000 silver coins were handed over to the two business chiefs.

During this process, there is a small procedure that is completely unnecessary and quite troublesome.

That is, the banknote must be passed through the account. To be precise, it needs to be signed by Fei Ying. The banknote must be handed over to the two merchants first, and then the two merchants will start to exchange silver coins.

When Fei Yiying was depositing money at Baoyuan Bureau, he was a little confused about such a convenient banknote.

Why is it a registered system instead of an anonymous system?

The reason given by the Baoyuan Bureau was to leave documentary evidence to prevent unnecessary trouble in the future.

The slogan of Baoyuan Bureau is: "Every silver coin has a name."

Any procedures require my signature before the account can be posted. This is to completely establish Baoyuan Bureau's neutral position in trade.

They only care about money and nothing else.

Fei Yiying walked out of Baoyuan Bureau and said with a smile: "Now, do you still think it is a paper note?"

The two businessmen looked at the nearly 140,000 silver coins on the carriage and asked doubtfully: "Why is your Majesty doing this? Is it the interest you want to give us?"

This simple pile of banknotes was actually exchanged for silver coins, which was unexpected by them.

Fei Yiying did not answer. After the successful delivery, he turned and left.

He wanted to take a thousand tons of white cotton cloth, a thousand tons of three-ribbed cloth, twill cloth and damask satin, and sail to the Japanese country.

Last winter, a lot of people froze to death in the Japanese country. The price of cotton cloth was extremely high. A piece of white cotton cloth with three coins per load could be sold in the Japanese country for three taels of silver, or even five taels.

With a return rate of ten times or even twenty times, the transfer fee should also be quite exciting. For a total of two shipments of goods, he can get a very high reward.

Fei Yingying was not a good person. Although he was as docile as a little sheep in the Ming Dynasty, when he went out to sea, he became a merchant who was more ferocious than pirates. They had artillery and blunderbuss. These were almost all approved by His Majesty.

Moreover, he also has brothers, and the entire Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce has business in Japan. Once one party has trouble, they will immediately flock to them.

After Fei Yiying left, two merchants were left standing in front of the Baoyuan Bureau of Songjiang Prefecture in a daze for a long time.

The silver coins were in the car and they just took them back, but... the world was not peaceful.

They were being watched.

Many wandering beggars who were begging in the city seemed to have passed by several times by accident.

Once they leave the confines of the Baoyuan Bureau, their convoy can easily be greeted by the bandits on their way home, have a pleasant exchange of opinions with them, and then take away their goods or money.

The team's goal is really too big.

The two business managers gritted their teeth, returned to Baoyuan Bureau, and deposited the silver coins back.

Because without their signature, others cannot withdraw their silver coins with the ticket.

It is much safer to leave it in Baoyuan Bureau than at home.

"What are you doing when you have nothing to do? You deposit and withdraw at one moment, are you kidding me?" The head of Baoyuan Bureau of Songjiang Prefecture complained very dissatisfiedly.

How much effort does it take to go back and forth?

However, the Baoyuan Bureau finally decided to issue the banknotes, count the silver coins, and stuff them back into the bank.

The head of Baoyuan Bureau reminded them: "You can't take it anymore today. More than 10,000 to say in advance!"

"Good and good." The two Shang President nodded.

At this moment, they realized that this silver ticket is actually useless to others, but it is indeed a lot of convenience for the business manager who often trades the goods.

This convenience is costly.

The first price is that any community transaction is clearly arranged. The value of the goods can no longer reduce the price and reduce tax costs.

The second price is that once you copy the house in the future, the fixed financial and wealth, and how much the wealth wealth is.

For businessmen, they know that they are the emperor's means, but they still want to stop.

Just like selling their own ropes, businessmen generally accept this way.

They are obviously resisting His Majesty, but every time His Majesty said, even if they are reluctant, they can only lie down and Ren Ren as a matter.

The Baoyuan Bureau began to suck the storage crazy. After the storage, the first large -scale investment in the Ming Dynasty started.

Li Xian and Li Binyan met in the governor of Nanzheng Simon.

At the meeting, there were Datong Bo Tao Jin, and Fan Du commanded Ma Yun, Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu, Ning Yuanbo Ren Li, the Ministry of Industry, Wang Ye, Wang Yin, the eunuch Wang Yin of the Division of Songjiang City.

This is the discussion of how to resume the shipyard.

Li Binyan sat upright, and he still took Yongle sword, but he was a commission.

Li Binyan said very seriously: "I think we should first start the artisan school and cultivate artisans belonging to the court, so that they can work in an orderly manner, and the number of craftsmen is still too small."

Xingjiao is almost the first idea of ​​Li Binyan. It is really labor, not the court, not the court, not the court.

The carrier of labor is tens of millions of ordinary people.

At this point, Li Binyan had a clear understanding.

"I agree." Li Xian raised his hand and expressed his approval. He investigated it down to earth for a long time in the Longjiang Shipyard, thinking that Li Binyan's idea was right.

The craftsman is the cornerstone of the shipbuilding industry.

Building a school and cultivating talents is to increase the fixed and wealth of the craftsmanship itself, which can effectively improve the labor efficiency of the craftsman.

Now, money is not a problem. How to spend money on money has become a new problem.

Xu Chengzong's eyes lit away. In his opinion, Li Xian's best way is to replace several small shipyards in his hands.

Although it feels about kneeling as a governor, it is the simplest and most direct way to complete the imperial life.

Li Xian and Li Binyan must have passed before the meeting. They still wanted to stand and put the officials.

And point directly to the core of the problem, people.

Xu Chengzong said very excitedly: "I have a land in the city, about 8,000 acres of land, surrounded by mountains and rivers. When Emperor Taizu Gao Emperor attacked the collection, the emperor Gao had been stationed there, and later appreciated Wei Guogong.

Mansion. "

"Emperor Taizu Gao set up a Tongyuan during the Hongwu period and set up Jilin Shipyard in Jilin. During the Yongle period, Qingjiang Shipyard, Taizu, and Taizong Emperor knew that he would agree to this land as a college."

"Of course, if you are willing to set up a monument, I am grateful."

Is Xu Chengzong greedy? He is not greedy at all.

The city has eight thousand acres of land, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is definitely not a bad place. He took it out directly. As long as the meaning of a monument is simple, he has no intention of taking any credit.

Li Binyan nodded and said: "The imperial court is conducting assessments for iron, rope, bamboo, ship wood, bamboo, and canopy craftsmen. There is now one master craftsman of steel, one master craftsman of ship wood, and one master craftsman of canopy craftsmen."

"That's enough."

How can a great craftsman be so well regarded?

Xu Siqi concurrently served as the general office and master craftsman of Shijing Factory and Wang Gong Factory.

Kuai Xiang built the city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, and then served as the general manager of Shijing Factory and Shengzhou Factory, becoming a great craftsman.

Jianghuai Factory, Saddle Factory, and Guizhou Liuzhi Factory all have great craftsmen serving as general offices.

The great craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are definitely not so well rated, and there are only three great silversmith craftsmen in the Bingzhan Bureau.

The first step is to establish a craftsman school. However, unlike the Jingshi Craftsman School, which focuses on coal and iron, the Nanjing Craftsman School will focus on shipbuilding and related industries.

Li Binyan discussed with everyone for a long time and finally decided on the scale and number of people in the Craftsman School.

Li Binyan continued: "Second point, we must carry out dredging work on the 40,000-mile waterway, because shipbuilding requires the most wood and tung oil, which need to be sent from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. Most of them are official factories of the imperial court, and there is no need to

Buy from merchants."

"We have observed that a river boat can travel 150 miles in a day and transport 20,000 kilograms of goods, while one or two horse-drawn carriages can only transport 1,500 kilograms of goods and travel less than 100 miles."

"Both in terms of speed and carrying capacity, river ships are more conducive to the flow of goods."

"The best time to transport river goods up the river to Sichuan is in autumn and winter, when the water level is low and the flow is slow;"

"It is more suitable to transport goods down the river from Sichuan in spring and summer, when the water level is higher and the water flow is faster."

The same is true for the dredging of the Wujiang River. In the spring and summer when the water flow is relatively fast, the dredging is carried down the river from the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and in the autumn and winter it is delivered to Yunnan-Guizhou by manpower.

It takes only one day to return a thousand miles to Jiangling. It only takes one day to cross the Qutang Gorge of Baidi City and go south to Jingzhou.

River transportation is an important means of communicating between east and west. As long as the dredging of waterways can be completed, the products from the Yunnan-Guizhou region can enter the Central Plains, and the goods from the Central Plains can also reach Yunnan-Guizhou smoothly.

Improving waterways is urgent.

"The third point is that we need to discuss it with His Majesty. The Weaving, Dyeing and Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau can no longer continue to rely on factions and conscripts." Li Binyan said with an embarrassed look.

Wang Yin immediately knocked on the table with dissatisfaction and said: "Your Majesty can only wear eight sets of regular uniforms and two sets of crown uniforms a year! In the five years since he took the throne, he has never done anything about sending orders or buying orders. Each weaving and dyeing bureau is responsible for the weaving and dyeing.

Please pay all the money in silver."

"Why don't you just scold these eunuchs in our family for nothing? Your Majesty is very frugal and has never been extravagant. When we go out, we are always cautious for fear of losing your Majesty's reputation."

"Can you find any other reason?"
