Closing the Internet

After the ministers retreated, Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

I've told you a long time ago, you don't believe it, now you know you're anxious?

Fortunately, I was prepared early, otherwise there would be trouble!

He looked at Wyen and asked, "How is it going?"

Huaien lowered his head and whispered: "Back to the emperor, Commander Yuan has already set up a net of heaven and earth in the capital area, and that person cannot escape."

"I'm not worried about this!"

"The Emperor is saying...oh!" Huai'en reacted and said hurriedly, "The East Factory and the Jinyiwei are pursuing their efforts. The owner of the money house did not have enough time to prepare before escaping, so many clues were exposed. I think it was very

There will be a result soon."

Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly and said, "Everyone from the East Factory and the Jinyiwei will be dispatched. If necessary, the Beijing Camp can be mobilized. This time, that bitch must be pulled out for me!"

"Yes, I will do my best!"

Just now, when Zhu Qizhen met with the ministers, he deliberately concealed a piece of news.

Longsheng Money House is not as simple as a scam, and there must be some force behind it.

Otherwise, how could his business be so big?

This must be an organized and premeditated action.

When Zhu Qizhen realized this, a person immediately appeared in his mind.

A woman!

White Lotus Sect, Song Guxi.

Only she has such scheming and wisdom.

The Caijiagou incident was a means of White Lotus Sect to make money, which almost caused stock market turmoil. Today, Longsheng Money Bank is ten times more serious, and it is almost digging the foundation of the new policy!

I let the banker go away to find this woman by following the clues.

This time, she must be caught, otherwise, I don’t know what kind of monster she will be in the future!

Tianjin Wei, Hengyuan pawnshop.

Nowadays, pawn shops are very widespread. In addition to ordinary pawn redemption, they are also responsible for redeeming treasure money.

Speaking of this treasure banknote, almost no one uses it. Zhu Qizhen used the silver reserves of the national treasury to pull it up.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to set up the Baochao Tuanshu as the issuing and production agency for paper money. After some preparation, the second year, the Secretariat issued the Secretariat to build the Daming Baochao, which was ordered by the people to pass.

The Daming Baochao is made of mulberry trees, one foot high and six inches wide. It is blue in color. It is a dragon-text flower railing on the outside. It says the Daming Baochao. There are eight seal characters on both sides. The Daming Baochao is the world's public, and the middle painting is

There are several strings of copper coins.

Although it is fancy and anti-counterfeiting is set up, Lao Zhu ignored a very important issue. No matter how gorgeous this thing is, it is just a piece of paper. Why can it be used as money?

Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, or later emperors, due to the lack of basic financial and economic common sense, they did not have the corresponding reserves at all while issuing the Daming Baochao, so the value of the Baochao continued to decline.

During the Yongle period, in order to pay for huge financial expenses, Zhu Di simply waved his hand and printed money!

The imperial court printed money in a large scale, and there was only one consequence, that was, the currency depreciation, and the treasure banknotes were flooded, as a result, prices were expensive, but the money law was not good.

Not only that, the court also formulated a method of injecting banknotes, that is, when the people exchanged old banknotes for new banknotes, they also had to pay a certain amount of labor costs, resulting in a large accumulation of old banknotes and accelerated depreciation.

At the beginning, the Yiguan Baochao was equivalent to Yiguan copper coins. By the 23rd year of Hongwu, Yiguan Baochao could only be folded with 250 cents of copper coins, and four years later, only 150 cents of copper coins.

In the 20th year of Yongle, the court even issued an order to force the implementation of treasure banknotes. Those who refused to use treasure banknotes were punished, and even the whole family was exiled to serve as military force.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, anything in this world can be solved with just one imperial edict.

I stipulate that you must use treasure money, and you must use it.

Otherwise, it would be to resist the order and kill your nine clans!

I said that this piece of paper represents consistent money, and it is consistent money.

If you don’t admit it, you will still resist the order and punish your ten clans!

Who knows that the market economy has its own set of rules, which cannot be controlled by humans.

In the 13th year of Zhengtong, the depreciation of the Ming Baochao became even worse, and each banknote was once a day, and two coins were sold.

In other words, it is almost equivalent to selling waste paper.

Therefore, even if the court repeatedly declared the orders and had to settle the bill, the people still only recognized silver.

Zhu Qizhen noticed this problem very early, but because the silver in the treasury was not sufficient enough, he could only gradually improve it.

Over the past three years, with the increasing amount of silver deposits in the national treasury, the Daming Baochao has finally achieved the silver standard. To this day, anyone can go to the money house to exchange for sufficient silver with the Baochao.

However, not many people actually come to exchange for the money.

Because the current Daming Baochao has excellent credit, and it is also very convenient to carry and trade.

Just imagine, it is very inconvenient to hire a few people to carry two large boxes of silver ingots, silver ingots, and even a large amount of copper coins to trade.

Therefore, with the implementation of the new policy, Baochao has been widely recognized, and it is becoming increasingly rare for money to come to the bank to get silver.

In contrast, pawnshops are more simplified than money shops. Moreover, if you only recognize money but not people, you can change it, and the price is to draw 10% of it as a handling fee.

Therefore, most of the treasure notes sent here are of unknown origin.

Otherwise, it would be better for them to go directly to the money house to redeem it. Why do you have to come here and let the other party earn a commission for nothing?

On this day, someone came to cash out the cash with a denomination of 50,000 taels of treasure money.

According to the pawn shop rules, a 5,000 tael of treasure banknotes will be charged a 5,000 taels of handling fee, which is a big business.

The pawnshop's clerk was not afraid to make decisions and immediately went to the backyard to inform the shopkeeper.

Soon after, the shopkeeper came out, he first met the guests and negotiated a few words. He glanced at the treasure banknote inadvertently, was slightly stunned, and then said quietly: "Such a large amount of silver is needed.

Take some time to count and invite the guest to wait for a while."

“How long does it take to wait?”

"It won't take long to drink tea first, and it will be almost done after drinking tea!"

The man looked very anxious, but he had to nod and follow the shopkeeper to the backyard to rest.

However, before I could drink the freshly brewed tea, I saw a group of Jinyiwei rushing in.

At the same time, the shopkeeper showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "Don't blame me, you have some problems with your treasure money. Although I am a businessman, I dare not do some business!"

——

Cangzhou Prefecture, Rongchang Money House.

A man dressed in a businessman walked to the counter and came to collect the money with a large silver note.

The guy behind the counter took the silver notes and took a look. He found that it was the Daming treasure notes circulated nationwide, so he took out the account book and prepared to register.

The young man was clever and got notice in advance. He had already made plans in his heart. He winked at the guard not far away, and said politely: "What do you call the guest officer?"

The man seemed a little impatient and said, "Just just exchange some silver, where did so many things come from?"

The young man smiled and said, "The rules of the money house require registration for redemption of silver, please forgive me!"

The man had no choice but to say, "Liu Hengzhi, perseverance, ambition."

"So it's Mr. Liu, there is a seat inside. Please!"

A moment later, Liu Hengzhi was invited to the back of the money house.

However, before the man sat down, five or six strong men came over to surround him.

Liu Hengzhi suddenly became uneasy and asked, "What does this mean?"

The young man still smiled and asked, "I'll ask, where do these treasures come from?"

Liu Hengzhi frowned and said, "Of course it is the income from business. When did you hear that the money house has redeemed silver? You still have to find out where it is?"

"Look at what you said, there was indeed no such rule in the past, but..."

The young man paused and suddenly asked, "These treasure money are from Longsheng Money House, right?"

Liu Hengzhi's face suddenly changed, and he could no longer contain the panic in his heart. He subconsciously stood up and wanted to leave here.

However, someone had surrounded him long ago, so he could not get out of here.

"What are you going to do? I am a serious businessman..."

Hulala!

Noisy footsteps sounded outside, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed over when they heard the news. The leader was a hundred households. After entering the door, they hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?"

The young man hurried forward and said, "Go back to Junjun, we have already controlled the people as you told me."
