Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 345 A Very Difficult Task
Regarding the behavior of Louis XVI, George III, and Paul I who came to Daming to borrow money, Zhu Jinsong was indifferent, while Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and others were somewhat worried.

It's not that they are worried about Louis XVI's refusal to repay their debts. After all, no one on this little broken ball would dare to renege on Daming's debts. The problem is that these three bastards borrow billions of dragon dollars, which is enough in silver. A few hundred million taels!
Although the Ming treasury is not short of such a small amount of money, and the hundreds of millions of taels of silver will flow back to Daming through various forms, but after all, it is hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and it is just lent to the barbarians...

Liu Huaiwen even blatantly clamored: "If you want to borrow, please use the money from the internal funds to lend it. Anyway, the treasury is so empty that it can run away mice, so there is absolutely no money."

And Zeng Cheng also very much agrees with Liu Huaiwen's attitude: "40 billion dragon yuan is [-] million taels of silver. It is enough to fight a few wars to destroy the Japanese kingdom. Wouldn't it be a drag on the development of our Ming Dynasty if we lend it to those barbarians out of thin air?" speed?"

The attitudes of the other bigwigs are also similar, unless Louis XVI and they don't take the money away after borrowing the money, they only take away the ordnance eliminated by Daming, and then pay the interest on time every year.

Zhu Jinsong, on the other hand, was stunned by the brain circuits of these bigwigs—he himself complained just now that Louis XVI and the others were shameless. Share minister?

Borrow money without taking it away, and then pay interest on time every year?

Those who engage in online micro-loan beheading and interest rate have to call the experts directly after seeing it!
After complaining secretly in his heart, Zhu Jinsong still smiled and said to Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs: "I'm very happy that you are all thinking about Daming's treasury, but I have to say, everyone Wei Qing’s family still thinks it’s short.”

Liu Huaiwen snorted unconvinced, and asked back: "Isn't it just such a small interest? Although the interest is not small, compared with the development of our Daming itself, where does that little interest go?"

Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "Interest money? A few interest money in the district, even if it is nine out of twenty return interest money, it may not be in my eyes. What I value is not just lending them money. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong simply stretched out one palm and made a virtual grip: "What I want is to use Daming's precious banknotes on the entire small broken ball, and if it is not good enough, Daming's precious banknotes must be made into small broken ones." The reserve currency of all countries in the world!"

Liu Huaiwen said unceremoniously: "If other barbarian countries use our Ming's treasures, won't our Daming's treasures become less? Originally, the national treasury was empty enough. If you continue to make such a fuss, it's okay. Well, why don’t even cats starve to death!”

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs also nodded in agreement, saying that our Daming has very little money in the first place, and there is no surplus to give to those barbarian small countries. The little money in the internal treasury must not harm Daming's treasury.

However, Zhu Jinsong glanced at Liu Huaiwen, and asked back: "Isn't that piece of treasure banknote printed on paper by your household department? So what if there are too many or too few?"

If it is placed in a film and television drama, at this time, the sky will be dark and the sky will be strong, and there will be special effects of lightning and thunder.

It's a pity that Zhu Jinsong didn't travel to any fantasy plane of immortals, and naturally there were no messy special effects to set off, but Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs who should have been surprised and shocked, but They all looked at Zhu Jinsong in a daze.

His majesty and his old man said this... it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

While Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were still in a state of confusion, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Any physical product produced by any country on the small broken ball has fixed costs. , including material costs and labor costs, and transportation costs and marketing costs will be generated after they are distributed to the market."

"If it is calculated in physical currency such as gold, silver, copper, etc., the cost and the profit that can be made are obvious. However, after changing to Daming Banknotes, the level of this cost will change—it will no longer be The price is set by the physical currency, but by the value of the banknote.”

"If other countries use their own currencies, they can set the value of the goods themselves, and it is difficult to be affected by the value of the Daming Treasure Banknote. At most, it is a change in the exchange rate."

"The opposite is not true."

"Under the circumstances that all other countries use Daming Banknotes as the official currency, if our Ming Dynasty thinks that one dollar of Daming Banknotes can buy ten catties of rice, then one dollar of Daming Banknotes can buy ten catties of rice. Daming thinks that one yuan of banknotes in Daming can buy a catty of rice, so this dollar can only buy a catty of rice.”

"Besides, our Daming's treasure banknotes are not given to them directly, and this involves the exchange of physical currency - other barbarian small countries want to use Daming's dragon yuan, they have to exchange it with real gold and silver .”

"When more and more real gold and silver flow into Daming, your household department will naturally be able to print more dragon ingot banknotes."

"If Daming needs it, it will naturally be possible to harvest the wealth of other barbarian small countries by manipulating the value of the Dragon Ingot Banknote, and subsidize Daming's own needs."

"..."

The more Zhu Jinsong talked, the more cheerful he became, while Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs became more frightened the more they listened, and the cold sweat on their foreheads kept breaking out—thanks to the fact that this emperor is the emperor of our Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't our Daming be very ashamed if such a sinister and vicious emperor appeared in those barbarian small countries?

It wasn't until a while later that Zhu Jinsong, who was eloquent, stopped and made a final conclusion: "For things that can be solved by Long Yuan, try not to use guns and artillery to make it so bloody, let alone Just like those idiots in the old Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, who clearly hold such a big killer as handing in banknotes, but they are played like two fools!"

When Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs suddenly felt speechless - the whole Ming court likes to talk with muskets and cannons, your Majesty, old man!
But again, although Zhu Jinsong's behavior of laughing at pigs and crows is very shameful, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and others have to admit that what Zhu Jinsong said is reasonable.

Take Dasong as an example.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the amount of coins minted in Dasong was basically more than 100 million guan per year, and it was more than 300 million guan in the Qing Dynasty when it was sent to Renzong.

Make a horizontal comparison: the year with the largest amount of coins minted in the Tang Dynasty was only 33 guan a year, and the average year remained at around 10 guan. In the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, all the copper coins minted were added together and were not sent to Shenzong. More were cast that year.

Based on the number of copper coins issued by Dasong over the years and the amount of wear and tear, by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of copper coins circulating in the market should be about 3 million. That's why it developed.

Then the problem is coming.

What about money?

The answer is that a large number of copper coins have all flowed out, some to the Wa country, some to the Liao country, Xixia, or later the Jin country and even the Southeast Asian countries. The currency given away has become the reserve currency of many countries and even current currency.

To put it another way, Dasong has already grasped the lifeblood of these countries, and just playing with financial means can cause turmoil in the economies of these countries.

It is a pity that Dasong would rather give away money and land than spend money on the army, and it is even more impossible to delegate power to those generals who lead troops to kill people, so that although Dasong has captured many countries The economic lifeline of the country, but it does not have the courage and strength to crush any country.

The current Daming certainly doesn't care about this.

First of all, the currency of Ming Dynasty is the Dragon Yuanbao banknote. To put it bluntly, this thing is the credit currency printed by the Ministry of Households. Its own value is far easier to manipulate than the copper coins used during the Dasong period. After all, copper coins have their own value. The value of the Long Yuanbao banknote must be recognized by the Ming court before it can exist.

Secondly, Daming's army is enough to ensure that Ming can manipulate banknotes as he likes. As long as Daming doesn't care about a series of consequences such as credit depreciation brought about by the abolition of banknotes, Daming can even immediately turn Long Yuanbao banknotes into waste paper.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Daming to do such a thing. After all, the value of the Dragon Ingot Banknote depends on the credit of the entire Daming. Self-damage of more than 1000 will only be regarded as a big killer.

After a group of bigwigs came to such a conclusion, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help muttering: "Then Louis XVI is too courageous to borrow a mere one billion dragon dollars? It's only [-] million taels of silver for co-authoring." , I don’t know what to use for him.”

After Liu Huaiwen's voice fell, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs looked at Liu Huaiwen with contempt and sarcasm in their eyes—just now you, Mr. Liu, were the one who objected the most, but now you think he borrowed too little, Really don't want any face!

After complaining secretly, Zeng Cheng said, "Well, I'll send someone to find Pierre later to see if France only needs to borrow one billion, or if Louis XVI is too timid and only dares to borrow one billion. By the way, let’s find out about Louis XVI.”

Zhu Jinsong nodded with a smile, and said: "In my opinion, Louis XVI is probably not courageous enough now - judging from the fact that this guy sold the stupid thief eagle without hesitation, Louis XVI should be I am determined to hang out with Daming to the end."

This is almost obvious.

Whether it is to spread the etiquette, knowledge, and customs of Ming Dynasty to Europa, or to start a movie with the Habsburg family, to fool the foolish eagle to death, all signs can show that Louis XVI is a He is determined to sell the whole of Europa to win benefits for France or the Bourbon family.

And Daming also just needs a leader like Louis XVI, because the current population of Daming is not enough to support Daming's opening of the whole small broken ball, and the entrance of the Central Plains was delayed by Jianyi for nearly 200 years, so that Europa is not as useless as it was more than 200 years ago.

Therefore, just relying on Louis XVI as the number one leader is somewhat meaningless, and we should find a way to cultivate more Europa leaders and European haters.

And if you want to cultivate more leaders, the best way is to set a positive example for those potential leaders.

For example, if Louis XVI wanted to borrow one billion dragon ingots as a talisman, then Daming would simply lend him two billion dragon ingots, which were interest-free, and send some people to France to help Louis XVI. Build railways and roads, help them renovate some factories and the like, and improve the competitiveness of French products on small broken balls.

And so on, the gameplay is to let other people see the benefits that Louis XVI can get as a leader, so as to attract more Europas to come to be the leader.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply told Zeng Cheng: "Zeng Qing might as well think about it with all the nobles and see what other benefits can be given to Louis XVI."

"Hubu and Honglu Temple will study together to see how we can attract more Europeans to come to Daming for a visit."

"In addition, the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty should also take action, and praise Louis XVI and France more."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Zeng Cheng and the others immediately collapsed—this is definitely a very difficult task!

For Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs, it is easy to find a way to trick the barbarians from Europa and Silly Eagle to come to Daming to work as coolies, but if you want to fool the barbarians from Europa to come to Daming for a stroll, this is not easy. too difficult!

Because, the only ones who can go out and hang out freely in the whole Xiaopoqiu are the people of Daming!
As for Europa and Silly Eagle...

The aristocrats and the big bourgeoisie on Europa and Silly Eagle are better off, but the rest of the civilians are so poor, how can they have money to go out and hang out?
More importantly, the consumption level of Ming Dynasty is very low for the people of Ming Dynasty, and it is nothing to the nobles and big bourgeoisie on the side of Europa and Silly Eagle. For ordinary people, this level of consumption is inevitably a bit high.

If we look at it another way, since they can't afford Daming, can the people of Daming be allowed to go out more?

It's hard too!

What did the people of Ming Dynasty eat?
Steamed buns, buns, pies, stir-fried dishes, stews, those who earn more and spend more will eat better, while those who earn less and are reluctant to spend money will eat worse.

But the overall condition of Daming is right there, no matter how bad the food is, no one in Daming now mixes sand into pasta or anything like that.

But put it on Europa...
