Chapter 346 Don't Keep Secrets

In the official hall of the Adjutant General's Office in Dushikoubaocheng.

Zhang Cheng's face was a little heavy, and he didn't know whether the "military ticket" he had imagined was suitable for the current Beilu area. However, he understood a truth, that is, everything should not be thought about, but must be done.

Because, only by doing it will you know right and wrong, sum up the mistakes that have occurred, and make continuous corrections, and you will eventually succeed. No success can be easily obtained. Only by continuous trial and error can you reach the ideal end point.

But there is one thing that does not allow trial and error, and that is fighting. If you lose, you are defeated. He does not have the capital to support him to rise again after a defeat, but he is not afraid of failure when it comes to military tickets. Trial and error capital.

I just heard him say: "The military ticket is like the 'Guanjiaozi' in the Song Dynasty, and it is also like the 'Daming Treasure Banknote' when I founded the Ming Dynasty."

"This private printing of precious banknotes is a serious crime for the country. I'm afraid it's inappropriate not to report to the Ministry of Households, but to the Holy Order!"

Jin Xinpeng said worriedly, and Yan Qingrong on the side was also full of worry. They were also afraid that Zhang Cheng would go his own way and violate the national law, which would ruin the good situation. The key was that they were afraid of risking their own wealth and life.

Zhang Cheng also knew that what Jin Xinpeng said was true, and their worries were not unreasonable. Moreover, the "Daming Treasure Banknote" has completely lost its credibility. Even if he prints and distributes it, no one will buy it.

I only heard Zhang Cheng say: "It's not a 'treasure note'."

Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong looked at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, and heard him continue: "I said 'military ticket'.

Now that the establishment of the New Army has just been established, and the payment of food and rations to the soldiers is imminent, I intend to form a printing bureau in Yunzhou to print and distribute a number of "military tickets" and distribute them to the soldiers of the New Army. In the store, exchange enough grain, cloth, money and other three things.

In the future, it is necessary to further integrate the official stores of our North Road, go to towns, to various states on the East Road, Acropolis, and even the capital to open joint accounts. Tickets', which can be exchanged for grain, cloth, money, etc.

I planned this in private, just for the convenience of the sergeants to carry and save the burden of material transfer, and this ticket is only used as the payment of the sergeant's salary, it is only circulated in the army, and does not intervene in civilian transactions.

What do the two adults think? "

Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong fell into contemplation, and they still couldn't understand Zhang Cheng's thoughts for a while. After a long time, Yan Qingrong said: "This is a big matter, and it really needs to be discussed in the long run. It is related to the salaries and rations of the soldiers of the new army. There can be no omissions."

Both Zhang Cheng and Jin Xinpeng nodded. At this time, a pro-military came in to replace the teapot with new tea. After he went out, Zhang Cheng said: "There is no need to worry about printing military tickets. Among the artisans in Yunzhou, there is no need to worry." There are rigid craftsmen,

According to the rules of the treasure banknotes in the early days of the country, Sichuan paper was selected, copperplate was used, and the complex patterns of Dushikoubao and Chichengcheng were used as the background, and then overprinted. In addition, there were secret codes. Signed by the Printing Office,

Each battalion issued a micro-engraved seal to the sergeant, and signed the name of the battalion general and sergeant, so that it can effectively limit the imitation of counterfeiters. Although the sergeant may be a little suspicious at the beginning, if there is no problem with the exchange, it will benefit in the long run ! "

Jin Xinpeng pondered for a moment, then said: "In this way, it is indeed possible to restrict cunning people from copying, but if time goes by, there will be counterfeit bills, but strict laws must be formulated to punish them.

Furthermore, if this "military ticket" is issued, it will be like a "treasure banknote", which will cause the disgust of our soldiers and civilians on the North Road, which is even more inappropriate. "

Zhang Cheng ate another jujube, and then said: "I have less than 3 soldiers under my command, and I usually pay half the salary for money and food. Now Dushi and Chicheng each have [-] taels of silver in deposit. If the bank deposit is not used for other purposes, it is considered as the basic fund for issuing 'military tickets'."

"Basic money?"

Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong questioned at the same time, they didn't understand what this meant, and what was basic money, they all looked at Zhang Cheng with puzzled faces.

Zhang Cheng smiled and continued: "This basic gold is the basis for issuing 'military tickets'. I have 6 taels of silver in the warehouse, which is enough for three months' salary for the soldiers of the North Route.
However, there are three types of "military tickets" issued by our North Road to sergeants: silver, grain, and cloth. Among them, there is grain, and our North Road has a fixed income. The insufficient amount can also be purchased from silver and shops.

Going round and round in this way, there will be no shortage of income. In this way, the interests of the sergeants can be guaranteed, and the same amount of silver, grain, and cloth can be redeemed by the ticket, so there is no matter of high or low. No matter whether the market goes up or down, the sergeant’s income will always be equal is these.

What's more important is that after the sergeant received the military ticket at the beginning, he would definitely exchange for the grain, cloth, and money needed in time, but as time went by, the stable exchange of the "military ticket" was recognized by everyone.

There will be some sergeants kept for backup, and they will not be eager to redeem all the items for a while. This will greatly relieve the pressure on our North Road's food and salary, but our North Road must also timely count the number of 'military tickets' in existence, and supplement the corresponding number. It is ready to be redeemed at any time, but it can still relieve the temporary pressure on my North Road.

After thinking about it for a while, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages. The only thing now is to integrate the official stores in the various forts on Wobei Road. All materials, especially food and cloth, must be properly dispatched, which is indispensable , and there must be some silver deposits in various castles, so that the sergeants can withdraw by check.

This matter is complicated and complicated, and there is no suitable person to preside over it at the moment. According to my wish, I still have to entrust the two adults to take care of it. I don’t know what the wishes of Lord Jin and Lord Yan are, whether they are willing to overcome the difficulties with a certain person and work hard together? "

Jin Xinpeng even drank a few cups of tea, Yan Qingrong was average, too much information, they still need to digest it, Zhang Cheng also knew that this matter was too new for them, so they had to think about it carefully.

The personal guards came in again to exchange for new tea, and Yan Qingrong said: "The printing and distribution of the 'military ticket' is of great importance, but I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Yan is responsible for the collection, storage and transportation of grain and other things. He checks the stock of each fort at any time, allocates the average grain, and distributes other things. "

Seeing that Yan Qingrong had expressed his opinion, Jin Xinpeng couldn't stay silent anymore, and he also said impassionedly: "Admiral Zhang's words are indeed extremely subtle, and Xinpeng couldn't understand it for a while after hearing it for the first time.

This matter of benefiting me on the North Road must not be left behind. If the admiral is at ease, he can hand over the integration of all the official stores in the forts to the subordinate officials, and Jin will do his best to do this well. "

Zhang Cheng laughed and said: "The two adults are Zhang Cheng's confidantes, so they are naturally very relieved. We, the Secretary of Defense, will start the matter of the military ticket first, and in the future we will seek some volunteers who are brave enough to take on the responsibility. into it,

In this way, the pressure on the Secretary of Defense will not be as great, and the dispatch of supplies will be more convenient. If Lord Jin and Lord Yan have suitable candidates, they can recommend them to me as much as possible. Don't keep your secrets! "

"Hahahahaha..."
