I am the king of the dead

Chapter 196 The supply of Daming silver coins is in short supply
Zhu Qiyu is still not sure about Daming silver coins. The main reason for his uncertainty is that his silver coins are only [-]% silver, and this [-]% silver is worth one or two dollars, which is Zhu Qiyu's inner worry.

The fire consumption was [-]% after all, and whether the people of Ming Dynasty would approve it was the last question hanging in Zhu Qiyu's heart.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu's worries were completely unnecessary.

Daming really needs a legal currency instead of banknotes, even copper coins are fine. The production capacity of Daming Baoyuan Bureau cannot meet people's daily life.

When Zhu Qiyu's silver coin policy was posted on the Yellow List, the Baoyuan Bureau of the capital was immediately surrounded by people.

Inquire about how silver coins are exchanged, especially about whether broken silver can be exchanged for silver coins, how to change them, how much fire is consumed, and so on.

Wang Bingfu went from being extremely idle to sitting in a rocking chair, and immediately became extremely busy. He was thinking frantically, and specially sent someone to post a notice at the door. The most frequently asked questions were posted outside the Baoyuan Bureau, and he also specially asked someone to explain.

Wang Bingfu and the silversmiths explained many issues about the acceptance of silver coins.

Zhu Qiyu passed by from a distance, looking at the long line of people, there were ordinary people and powerful families, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty was looking forward to the court's finalization of the word currency.

As for the matter of [-]% of the fire consumption being returned to the internal transport depot, Daming does not have so many opinions, after all, the whole world belongs to His Majesty.

After Zhu Qiyu repeatedly communicated with Ren Yuanxiang in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he realized that when the local officials collected money, the fire consumption was [-]%!

The people of Ming Dynasty have long been familiar with the strangeness.

Color-folding silver has been practiced since the first year of Zhengtong. Daming has raised many silversmiths to estimate the fineness and weight of silver, which does not need Zhu Qiyu to worry about.

And the first ones to get the Daming silver coins were not the people who had accumulated in the Baoyuan Bureau, but the officials who lived in the Daming mansion.

It's time for the monthly salary.

Because of the Emperor Ming’s minting coins, the officials of the Ming Dynasty suspended their salaries for one month, but because of the system of state money support, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have to worry about starving to death at all. Additional expenses in silver can be withdrawn.

So the one-month salary was suspended and finally paid out.

But this time, the ones that were handed out were silver coins, with one tael written on the front and seven cents per cent written on the back, which meant that seven cents of silver was spent as one tael.

The officials of Ming Dynasty each received the silver coins that should have been converted into banknotes as salaries.

Folding banknotes is a big killer of Ming Dynasty.

For example, Yu Qian now starts from Yipin Shaobao, with an annual salary of 888 taels of rice, and the price of grain in the capital is four taels of silver for one stone. The discount should be 360 ​​taels of silver, and the monthly salary is 30 taels.

But Yu Qian folded more than 24% of the banknotes every month, and he could only receive six taels of silver every month, and butt wipes worth [-] taels of silver.

This is the reason why the official salary of the Ming Dynasty is so thin that no one is weak, because such things as folding money make officials unable to support themselves.

What to do if you can’t support yourself?
Objectively speaking, it will breed corruption and corruption, especially for Beijing officials.

Corruption will lead to gangsters, there will be a teacher bank, there will be ice respect, carbon respect, there will be local officials and Beijing officials colluding, one nostril will vent, and one party after another will appear. a pair of pants.

They came together because of common interests.

Moreover, the name of greed is justified, and greed is aboveboard!

Zhu Qiyu gave Taicang [-]% of the mint's fire consumption, so that Taicang could issue enough silver coins to officials every month.

This is not the Yang Lian Yin given by Zhu Qiyu, what Zhu Qiyu gave the officials is the salary that the Ming Dynasty should have given.

Banknotes, spices, clothes, silk, and Ming’s salary are all discounted. Officials are greedy, and that is justifiable.

Although Zhu Qiyu's seven cents per cent is used for one or two purposes, which is equivalent to a salary discounted by three cents, but what he issued was silver coins of hard currency.

There are conditions for Zhu Qiyu to do so.

Since the issue of Daming's low salary, I will solve it for you.

If there is more corruption, then don't blame Zhu Qiyu for using the emperor's ancestors' precepts to strip corrupt officials and tear them down.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, with millions of soldiers in the world, the treasury was sufficient, and the treasures of the Ming Dynasty were not flooded. According to the salary of the Ming Dynasty, officials were paid in full.

If someone is corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang can of course peel him off.

But why did the later emperor fail?

Because the court had no money, no food, and no recruits, the emperor could only turn a blind eye and watch such things happen, but it was of no avail.

Emperor Jiajing conducted 27 Beijing inspections in his life, but he still couldn't stop the corruption.

Zhu Qiyu gave full salaries to the officials, if these officials still stretched their claws too long and took money that they shouldn't have, then Zhu Qiyu would definitely send them to see Emperor Taizu Gao.

He didn't listen to the reasons for officials' corruption, and he was only responsible for sending them to Emperor Taizu Gao.

Zhu Qiyu just wanted to raise the steel knife in his hand majestically and stare at the many courtiers.

Yu Qian took [-] silver coins and returned to Jiuchongtang. This is the old residence of Qi Guogong, all the expenses are from internal funds, and he has no daily expenses. He gave the [-] silver coins to his wife Dong.

Dong picked up the silver coin and blew it, making a buzzing sound.

Because of the lack of currency in Daming, the prices are actually very low. Mrs. Dong took the more than 60 silver coins, looked around, and said with a smile: "I have been working for Daming for so many years, and I can finally keep the money. It’s three days of fishing, two days of drying the net, the sage is wise, the silver coins are making a fuss, and I’ve heard of it in Jiuzhongtang.”

Yu Qian also picked up a silver coin and flicked it. The sound was extremely crisp. Although the pattern was simple, it was clear enough and the production was quite sophisticated.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this silver coin is exquisitely designed. If there is less silver, it will not make any noise when blown. The pattern is cold-pressed, and the craftsmen who work all day to make reward cards are too exquisite. In this craft, it’s not bad.”

"Let me tell you, wait a minute, there are not many craftsmen here who can make this kind of pattern."

The exquisite pattern means that it is difficult to imitate. If someone takes it and melts it into thin money, or directly uses their own silver cakes to make thin money, no one will recognize it.

Yu Qian paid more attention to the outline of the silver coin, while Dong paid more attention to the coin itself.

Dong said with a smile: "Give me four pieces. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to buy some stuffing for moon cakes at home. Relatives and friends will leave each other in the name of reunion. The fruit cakes for the sacrifice must be round, and I have to buy some watermelons. And the ram's horn lamp and incense sticks cost a lot of money, and I don't know if the silver coins will be spent or not."

Mrs. Dong handed the silver coins to the maidservant of the Jiuzhong Hall, and the maid took the silver coins with a happy smile, walked out of the Jiuzhong Hall, and went to the market to buy things for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yu Qian looked at Dong's busy figure and sighed.

In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it will also be the most troublesome day for Daming in these years.

At this time last year, King Ji took Daming's 50 sons and died on the border. Time seemed to heal the wound, but in fact, the scar was still on the giant Daming, bleeding profusely.

His Majesty beheaded King Jili angrily in the Taimiao, but the executioner was still acting fiercely outside the Great Wall.

The maid came to the Chaoyangmen market, and when she took out the silver coin, she realized how popular this coin was, and she should be the first person to spend with a Daming silver coin.

After all, there are not many Daming silver coins now.

"Buzz!"

The boss of Shangshanju took the silver coin and blew it vigorously. The buzzing sound of the silver coin was like fairy music in his ears. He understood very well the significance of this currency to business.

Just like a child who got a toy suddenly, the boss of Shangshanju kept blowing the silver coins, and after playing for a while, he looked at the waiting maidservant before he came back to his senses.

He shouted loudly: "Man, hurry up, bring everything you need, and a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that I have preserved for 30 years!"

"That's not okay, you can get as much as you want." The maid knew Yu Qian's temper well, and she could get as much as she wanted. The 30-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus wine can't be taken. You can buy things, but you must not ask for too much.

Yu Qian used it for 24 years and left a reputation of being a breeze. If Yu Qian ruined him as a handmaid, then His Majesty would definitely not be happy and would send down the wrath of thunder.

Moreover, Madam reminded him ten thousand times that Yu Shaobao's reputation was one of the reasons why Yu Shaobao was able to stand in the court hall dignifiedly. Madam often admonished them, although these maidservants did not understand the power of it, they still had to obey Madam's words.

"Ah, it turns out that the nobleman belongs to the Yu family. Look at my memory, it's a pity, it's a pity." The owner of Shangshanju shook his head repeatedly.

This silver coin is a good thing, but now it is only available at the official residence, and you can't see it in your spare time.

How many people and merchants are hanging around day and night, and can only wait for the Ming Dynasty's military bureau to rush to work day and night to get more silver coins.

How many silver coins does the world need?
In the view of the owner of Shangshanju, the more the better.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Qiyu set up a sacrifice.

And this sacrificial offering can only be held in the Juxian Pavilion of the Lecture Hall.

Because of the defeat of Tumubao, according to the intensity of punishment for defeat in the Ming Dynasty, he could not give these heroes of the Ming Dynasty a grand national sacrifice, let alone give them titles, and even the first merit card and the extraordinary merit card were not allowed to be rewarded to their families. , only a simple pension.

Distinguishing rewards and punishments is the emperor's first priority.

If you lose, you lose.

Zhu Qiyu has been living in the martial arts hall for the past few days, and did not return to Tai'an Palace, but it made the two newly promoted nobles in the mansion very anxious.

Tang Yunyan couldn't bear it at first, and found Wang Meilin in the name of female celebrity.

Wang Meilin has been pregnant for several months, and this body is becoming more and more inconvenient. Tang Yunyan is well-educated and reasonable, and her words are not annoying.

Tang Yunyan pursed her lips and asked: "Sister, my sister has just entered the palace, I don't know... when will His Majesty return to Tai'an Palace?"

When Wang Meilin mentioned this, she sighed again and again: "My sister wants to see my husband, and my sister wants to see my husband too."

"Our husband is like this. He is busy all day long. Ben Gong and Sister Hang can see each other once a day when they are not pregnant."

"Sister Hang is pregnant, and my husband spends all day in the lecture hall. He doesn't come back once in a few days. When he comes back, he will change into court clothes and go to Fengtian Hall or Wenhua Hall to discuss matters."

"My husband is busy with state affairs, so don't bother me, especially these few days."

Wang Meilin told Tang Yunyan that His Majesty compared the soldiers to the guardrails on the Lugou Bridge.

Wang Meilin changed the subject, sighed and said: "At this time last year, the Ming army lost all opponents. His Majesty was busy all day and night until the year before. This is how the Ming Dynasty is now. Husband these few days If I don’t come back in the day, I’m probably afraid that the evil spirit on my body will be too heavy and scare us.”

"In the past few days, it is estimated that His Majesty is also full of murderous intent!"

"You haven't seen the husband at that time. He frowned all day long, either studying geomancy maps or looking up documents and files over the years. He was often angry. It was really scary. No one in the whole palace of Prince Tan dared to speak loudly. .”

"For four or five months, I haven't seen a single smiling face."

"Now, it's much better."

Tang Yunyan remembered Wang Meilin's words in her heart, nodded sweetly and said, "Thank you sister for reminding me."

Wang Meilin rubbed her stomach and said, "I don't like to fight with my sister Hang, and it's a blessing to see my husband every day."

"Don't be impatient. Your Majesty will come back after all. Sister Tang and Sister Li are so handsome. Your Majesty will never forget that you, a beauty, are at home. You are looking forward to your Majesty's return day and night."

Tang Yunyan blushed a little, and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't make fun of me."

Tang Yunyan and Li Xi'er have been in Tai'an Palace for more than four or five days, but His Majesty has not seen anyone for a long time, even if they have a quick glance, they just pass by in a hurry.

His Majesty spends his whole day reviewing military horses, when will it be their turn to be reviewed by His Majesty?
