Wentang

Chapter 402 Storm Center
There are many stupid people in the world, and there are also many smart people. The sudden intention of Huang Shanghang and Dizhou to make gold and silver coins cannot be hidden from people at all.

But just as Yue Shan thought, what if everyone knew about it?They have no reason to object.Money shortage is a well-known thing in the world, shouldn't the emperor find a way to solve it now?

Moreover, this attempt was not carried out directly by the imperial court, but by the Royal Commercial Bank to pave the way first. Even if it fails, there will be no major problems.

The only worry is that the gold content of gold and silver coins is only one-third of the actual purchasing power, which is suspected of stealing money.However, the previous Kaiyuan Tongbao was also a semi-credit currency, and it was still used throughout the country without any problems.

With this example, everyone is not responsible for the gold content of gold and silver coins.

Of course, not without objections.Especially those aristocratic and wealthy families with a long history hated gold and silver coins.

Most of these aristocratic families have a large amount of gold and copper in their possession. Once the emperor ordered the issuance of gold and silver coins to prohibit the circulation of scattered gold and silver, their wealth accumulated in several generations would shrink by two-thirds.

So after learning that the Royal Commercial Bank issued gold and silver coins, they immediately asked their spokesperson to write a letter against it.

However, it was easily dismissed by the emperor. The gold and silver coins produced by the Royal Commercial Bank were only for the credit certificates issued by their own transactions, and they were not issued as coins to the world.Can't you stop others from issuing credentials?
Dizhou... Dizhou's gold and silver coins are used as salt coins, but this salt coin is different from ordinary paper salt coins, and the function is still the same.

As for more and more merchants using gold and silver coins as coins in private... that is the businessman's own business, so you can't blame Huang Shanghang and Dizhou, right?
Besides, there were people who resold Yanyin before, and even traded Yanyin as money, but no one said anything about them.

In short, it is still the same sentence, no matter what the official words are, he is justified.Anyway, Li Shimin killed him. This is a credential created by the Royal Commercial Bank. It is not illegal. You can do it if you have the ability.

It's a pity that no one dared to do it at all. To put it bluntly, this thing is money, but the emperor refused to admit it.If others dare to do this, they will ransack their homes and exterminate their families in minutes.

And even if they want to do it, there is no innate condition. The gold and silver coins issued by the Royal Commercial Bank are guaranteed by Liuli and Dizhou salt, and everyone believes in their reputation.

If you try another person, you will only become a laughing stock.

On the contrary, many people want to imitate gold and silver coins. After all, everyone knows that the gold content of gold and silver coins is not enough. If they can be imitated, one tael of gold will become three taels for nothing.

However, it was soon discovered that the casting technology of gold and silver coins was so superb that there was no way to imitate them.

The cast gold and silver coins are so different in color, fineness of pattern, feel and texture that they can be distinguished by naked eyes.As for forging, it is even more impossible.

However, this inimitable coinage technology made those merchants more confident in the credibility of gold and silver coins.Things like money are most afraid of flooding, and everyone feels relieved that the coinage technology is only in the hands of the court.

This also led to gold and silver coins being accepted by more and more people.And the wider the circulation of gold and silver coins, the more people with ulterior motives want to obtain casting methods.

For example, the aristocratic family was so powerful that they had thought about casting Kaiyuan Tongbao privately before.

It's just that although the gold content of Kaiyuan Tongbao is insufficient, the difference is not very big. The profit made by making private coins is not high, so it is better to cast them into copper wares and sell them for money.

It is different now, the difference in gold content of gold and silver coins is too great to be called huge profits, so they naturally want to master this casting technology.

They used all means to find the mint and find out how to make it.

It is not difficult to find the mint workshop with a large target, but the difficult thing is that there is no way to get close.

In order to keep it secret, Li Shimin chopped down all the vegetation within a radius of 500 meters of the mint workshop, and dispatched Xuanjia troops to garrison the periphery.A separate guard is responsible for internal security, and the two are not related to each other.Don't even think about running in a real mouse, let alone a living person.

Since the mint workshop can't find a flaw here, it can only start from Yue Shan.

Still the same sentence, there are many stupid people and many smart people. Datang suddenly has so many strange things, and it is natural to be connected to Yue Shan.

In all likelihood, he was responsible for the technology of minting coins, so many people tried to send people to contact him, trying to find out the news they wanted.

Someone wants to use beauty tricks, the young Mu Shaoai? Arranging a beautiful woman in the past is the most beneficial and cheap way.

But it's a pity that Yue Shan even the maids sent by his eldest grandson Wugou to warm the bed are married, so how could he accept all kinds of women, the beauty trick naturally failed.

Just at this time, he announced what kind of academy he was going to set up in the capital. Now that's all right, those people thought they had found a breakthrough, and sent their confidantes over one after another.

On the one hand, he was trying to destroy the academy, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if he could get some information from Yue Shan. That's why Wang Lu came here.There are even excellent disciples from five surnames and seven families.

It is no exaggeration to say that Longshou Mountain has become the center of the storm.

As for participating in the colored glaze auction, that's just incidental.Everyone likes glassware, but it is more sensible than before.

No one has mastered the method of making colored glaze before, and each piece of colored glaze is a unique treasure born with a higher value in everyone's mind.

Now that someone has mastered the production technology, colored glaze has changed from a treasure to a common rarity, and everyone's pursuit of it is not so crazy.

The best you can buy, it doesn't matter if you can't.Anyway, there will be more in the future, and one day I will be able to buy them.

The reason why I came here this time is because the Royal Commercial Bank started to build momentum two months ago, saying that they would build a big object, which whetted everyone's appetite.

Everyone wants to see what kind of big items are worth preparing for by the Royal Commercial Bank two months in advance.

Soon the auction time arrived, and Jin Rushan's familiar figure appeared on the auction stage, first said a few words of courtesy, and then announced the start of the auction.

To everyone's surprise, the first lot was the big one that had been hyped for two months.

"Brother Zhu, what is the meaning of Liuli Pavilion? Shouldn't the best auction item be placed at the end? Why did the first item come out?" Qian Duoduo asked puzzled.

"I'm also surprised, even if it's not the last, it shouldn't be the first. At least a few things should be brought out to warm up the scene." Zhu Ying was also puzzled.

Not only them, everyone was puzzled.

However, Jin Rushan didn't pay attention to their thoughts at all, and asked someone to raise the curtain behind him.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the huge object parked in the center of the stage, but this large object was covered with a red cloth, so it was impossible to see what it was.

But even so, everyone showed shocked expressions.

Because the object covered under the red cloth is about 1.5 meters high and three meters long.If it's a glassware... that's amazing.
