Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

History has fully proven that the superiority of concentrating efforts on big things is the only magic weapon for the country to overcome various major risks and challenges, and is a powerful driving force for the Chinese nation to achieve a historic leap from standing up, getting rich, and becoming strong.

Yang Xian did not prevent the court from using the bank's money.

But it must be borrowed, and borrowed and repaid.

Yang Xian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son, his expression gradually became serious, and he said: "The imperial court can decide the flow of the money in Daming Bank, and can decide who to lend the money to, whether to charge interest, and how much interest to charge. The court wants to You can even get an interest-free loan, and you can borrow it for a longer period of time, but you have to go through the procedures and you have to pay it back."

"This is the bottom line, otherwise the world will be in chaos!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao saw Yang Xian's seriousness. Knowing Yang Xian, they knew that Yang Xian would only have such an expression when it was a matter of real concern to the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both looked serious and nodded.

Yang Xian then said: "More than that, a team must be formed to supervise Daming Bank. It is best for this team to directly interface with His Majesty and be responsible only to His Majesty. Their role is to keep an eye on every step of Daming Bank. A big sum of money.”

"We must make sure that the money was really lent out and not secretly transferred away by officials who manage Da Ming Bank."

"Every money in Daming Bank is the hard-earned money of the people."

"We must avoid all possible risks as much as possible!"

"The Bank of Ming Dynasty bears the credibility of the entire Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as the words came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son all believed in this.

When they thought about it carefully, they felt that what Yang Xian just said was bloody, and he even pointed out everything that the court needed to pay attention to in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will never let anyone embezzle a single penny from the Ming Dynasty Bank!"

If someone really dares to do this, he will really be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang's sword.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brutal methods of dealing with corrupt officials will definitely make those corrupt people regret coming to this world.

Yang Xian was relieved about this.

In the next period of time, in order to raise funds for the soon-to-be-established Daming Bank and to continue to observe Xu Da's recovery, Yang Xian stayed in the capital. According to Zhu Biao, those who can do more work.

Fortunately, now he has his own mansion in the capital and no longer has to live in the Prince's East Palace.

Otherwise, Mrs. Lu might secretly stab him with paper figurines again.

half a month later.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Yang Xian and Zhu Biao held the designed new version of Ming Dynasty banknotes together, preparing to let Zhu Yuanzhang make the final decision.

Zhu Biao was fully involved in the entire design process.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over, and his first impression was that the treasure notes had become smaller. He picked up one of the pieces of paper, and when he picked it up, the touch was completely different from ordinary paper, and he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

"The material of this paper seems to be different from before"

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to flick it in his hand again and found that the quality was exceptionally good.

Zhu Biao on the side smiled and said: "Father, this kind of paper is called banknote paper. It was specially invented by Yang Qing for our new Ming Dynasty banknotes. The main raw material used is cotton pulp, so the paper strength is particularly high, and it also has Some water resistance.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then picked up the treasure banknote in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that Fengtian Temple was printed on the back of the banknote, and his own portrait was printed on the front! On it, there are also the characters "一千文".

Originally Yang Xian wanted to use Arabic numerals, but nowadays Arabic numerals are not popular at all in the Ming Dynasty, so he can only make changes according to the times and local conditions.

As for the face value, one thousand cash is equivalent to one tael of silver. For daily circulation, this face value is completely sufficient as the maximum face value.

For large transactions, you can completely use bank deposit checks.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw his portrait printed on the Ming Dynasty banknotes. He was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

There is no emperor who does not want to be famous throughout the ages.

Printing portraits directly is much more straightforward than printing a year name in the past. It is conceivable that once this new version of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is issued, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty will be able to admire his style, not only now, but also for future generations.

In other words, as long as Ming Dynasty exists for one day, no matter how many generations or thousands of generations pass by, his great achievements will not be forgotten by the world.

There is nothing in the world that attracts an emperor more than this.

Even Emperor Hongwu was not exempt from vulgarity.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

Seeing this, Yang Xian continued to speak: "I decided to set the denominations of the remaining Ming Dynasty banknotes at five white coins, one hundred coins, fifty coins, twenty coins, ten coins, five coins. In other words, add Your Majesty, the thousand-penny banknote in your hand requires the issuance of a total of seven banknotes of denominations."

"The treasure banknotes of the five hundred essays can be printed with the portrait of His Royal Highness. The remaining one hundred, fifty, and twenty texts, the ministers suggest that you can print the portraits of those heroes who have great achievements in the country and the people."

"This will not only honor the heroes, but also inspire future generations."

As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang knew how tempting this was to those civil servants and generals.

Fame and fortune.

Fame comes before profit. In the eyes of those ancient civil servants, fame was more important than wealth.

Some civil servants even risked their own lives in order to seek fame.

Before this, the ultimate pursuit of a minister was to die with the posthumous title of Wenzheng.

But now, if one could directly print one's face on a treasure banknote and be immortalized forever, then this would be a surefire success.

Before this, the set of twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion that Emperor Taizong made was like a firefly compared to the bright moon compared to Yang Xian's move.

But in this case, new problems will arise.

That's how the quotas are allocated. At the time of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had granted six dukes, twenty-eight marquises, and second uncles, a total of thirty-six meritorious officials.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes only have these kinds of denominations, which are not enough.

Even if it is only given to the Duke, it is not enough. You must know that now with Yang Xian, the newly promoted Duke of Yang, there are already seven Dukes.

Yang Xian saw Zhu Yuanzhang's dilemma at a glance, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you are embarrassed about whose portrait is printed on the remaining treasure banknotes, there is no need to worry."

"Because our Ming Dynasty's national strength is booming, every once in a while, as the economy grows, the number of treasure banknotes issued must also adapt. When the time comes to issue a new version of treasure banknotes, there will be more slots."

"As for the first batch of meritorious officials to be on the treasure banknote, I recommend that those who sacrificed their lives for the country should be given." (End of Chapter)
