I want to be a grandson

Chapter 512 The fight is over...

Tie Xuan also said: "Your Majesty, if you want to use silver coins as the currency of the world, you must collect the silver goods from all over the world to make coins, and cast all the silver in the hands of the people into RMB, so that you can make the best use of it.
Moreover, silver is not a capital of our country, nor is it inherent in our Ming Dynasty. During the Qin, Han and even Tang Dynasties, the amount of pure silver in the world was not much, but since the implementation of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty, silver has gradually increased..."

"Nowadays Daming silver is becoming more and more abundant. Except for Taicang and the underground internal storage, most of them are private people. If they can't be used, it will be a waste..."

The land of the Central Plains is not a place rich in silver. It was only through maritime trade in the Song Dynasty that a large amount of silver was obtained.
However, most of these silvers were mostly private people, and most of them were stored in the cellars of rich households and gentry. The imperial court's silver deposits were not rich.

Tie Xuan continued: "Silver is stored in the world, but the imperial court has no silver to use, and it is not a blessing for the subjects of the world.

Therefore, I think that when the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry mints silver coins, it should collect the silver from all over the world, refine and cast it, and then promote it to the world..."

Tie Xuan turned around and said to the ministers: "Colleagues, I have a lot of contact with merchants in the Department of Commerce and Trade, and I understand their feelings.

The common people and merchants in the world have been puzzled by the use of silver money for a long time, because silver varies in color and size, and if they conduct private transactions, they must bring someone who can inspect the quality of silver. that's too much,
There are variegated silver and golden silver, how to check it all depends on skill...

Moreover, they have to be weighed back and forth, and the beams of the scales are different from person to person. For all these, the quarrels are endless. Merchants not only consume a lot of energy when trading goods, but also consume human energy when using silver. energy……"

"And the Ming silver coins minted by His Majesty are of the same fineness, weight, and silver content. From then on, no matter people or merchants, they no longer need to carry scales with them...

"The Ming silver coins minted by His Majesty today are exquisitely made and have clear outlines. Once they are in circulation, they will definitely be enthusiastically sought after by the people all over the world!"

"If the people can be allowed to exchange scattered silver for silver coins, then the silver in the world will not be buried in the inner courtyard of the deep pit, which is useless, but will be taken into the hands of His Majesty, and it will pass through the world after being recast!"

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty on behalf of the people of the world to allow silver to be exchanged for coins! Let the useless things in your hands be exchanged for something full!"

Qi Tai also stood up and saluted: "I implore Your Majesty to allow the people to exchange their silver for coins!"

"My minister seconded the proposal, I implore Your Majesty to grant this policy!"

"I implore Your Majesty to grant this policy!"

The courtiers stood up one by one and asked the emperor for orders.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said: "Since you love the people so much, then...it's okay! The people can bring silver and go to the capital's household department to exchange silver coins!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing.

He couldn't be more clear about the extent of Daming's desire for silver coins.

In your case, you have a lot of silver in your hand, you could be rich, but you can't trade it, although you can secretly take out some scattered silver to exchange for daily necessities,
And I'm still worried, for fear of being caught,

Not only is the number of transactions very small, but also the Chinese and Japanese panic,

Life is tight and humble, do you think you will be in a good mood?

Li Jie was a little puzzled during the incident from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did the people go to the Ministry of Households to exchange silver coins? There is a Baoquan Bureau in each chief envoy. After they mint the silver coins, can the people go there to exchange them directly?" "

Baoquan Bureau is the institution where the chief envoy casts money.

In fact, if you look at the ancient copper coins in your hand, you will understand that the place of origin of the casting is usually marked on the copper coins. This is because basically all provinces mint coins.

Before the 26th year of Hongwu, Daming minted a large number of copper coins twice, and the chief ministers also participated.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, but sat on the chair and picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Li Jie scratched his head, a little embarrassed and at a loss.

None of the courtiers said anything, because the Baoquan Bureau should mint copper coins, but His Majesty did not say that the chief ministers and envoys should participate in the minting of silver coins!

Fu Youwen, the servant of the household department, broke the deadlock and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and it is inconvenient for people and businessmen from some places to come to the capital.
Therefore, I implore His Majesty to allow the Ministry of Households to be responsible for collecting the scraps of silver in the official cleaning departments of the chief envoys, transporting them to the capital, and then going to the Baoyuan Bureau to exchange silver coins, so as to relieve the hardships of the common people. "

"Fu Shilang, each chief envoy has the right to mint money, and the common people just go to each Baoquan Bureau to exchange and go. Why bother!"

Li Jie said: "Besides, if the Ministry of Household Cleaning and Officials participated in it, it is hard to guarantee that they will not fill their own pockets and accept bribes, so why bother!"

Zhu Yunxi took a look at this and his eyes were full of indifference.

He understands that if this official is not really stupid in his studies and wants to maintain the traditional practice, he is competing with himself for the right to mint coins!
Delegating the authority to mint silver coins to the local governments is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang did in the early years of Hongwu.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had little experience as an emperor, felt that since the local money and food had to be distributed to the other party to maintain the use of the chief ministers, why would they transport it back and forth?
It's better to just stay in the place, write a note and report to the court when the time comes!

Tossing back and forth, isn't this a waste of time and money, unnecessary? !
So with a wave of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang made the regulations according to what he thought in his heart, and this is how the later "empty seal case" came about...

After the big Hu Weiyong case later, Zhu Yuanzhang realized why all dynasties received local money and food from the court, leaving only a small part in the local area.

This is how the central government governs the region!
If a large amount of property is placed in the local area, the local government will seize the money bag and food bag, and there is no need to report to the imperial court when doing things, and there is no need to ask the imperial court for instructions, and you can do whatever you want... …

what will happen?
If it is not done well, the feudal town will be divided and there will be many princes!
After all, if you have money and food, is it still difficult to buy people's hearts and recruit troops?
At this time, don't say that the place and Chaoyang won't be of one mind, it's not bad if they don't fight!

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a means of centralizing power and controlling localities.

Want to compete with yourself for the right to mint coins, and want to get a piece of the action from yourself?

dream!

Zhu Yunxi did not hide it, and said directly: "It is not easy to make silver coins in the Ming Dynasty, and the craftsmen and skills required are also extraordinary. The chief ministers do not have this strength.
In addition, the Daming silver coins are owned by the Ming court, and they can only be minted centrally by the court. No one, including princes and dukes, anywhere, whether it is the prefectures, counties, or chief ministers, has the right to mint. There is no doubt about this ! "

Tie Xuan quickly sent a divine assist: "Your Majesty's words are very true. According to the scale and ability of the Baoyuan Bureau to mint silver coins, they must be able to handle them in a short time, so there is no need to worry about other places..."

Competing with His Majesty for the right to mint coins at this time is crazy!

Do you think that His Majesty is better than a woman's hand?

If you let go of this matter, then it is not Your Majesty!

Didn't you see His Majesty's "strong attire", the meaning is not clear enough?
Do you understand when you have to wear armor and hold a sword?

Tie Xuan has already "sentenced the death penalty" to this matter in his heart, if he does not have one heart with His Majesty, one heart with the court,

Your life is probably over...

"By the way, Your Majesty, the fire consumption of Daming silver coins is [-]%, should they be returned to His Majesty's internal member treasury, or the household department..."

As soon as Tie Xuan uttered these words, the courtiers gave him vicious eyes in an instant!

And in the eyes, there is also a bit of contempt!

It seemed that he was about to point at Tie Xuan's nose and scold the traitor!
Tie Xuan suddenly felt that his nose was very uncomfortable, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it, why are you looking at me like this?
Wang Zhong hurriedly said, "Master Tie, why do you ask such a question? Since it is a waste of money, of course it will be returned to His Majesty's internal storage. Your Majesty has worked so hard for Daming, so you have to worry about such a petty profit. Really... Ha ha……"

The faces of the courtiers suddenly brightened!I was choked up by this "hehe", speechless,

Yu Xin from Hubu glared at Wang Zhong, and took the lead to say: "Your Majesty, the fire consumption of Daming silver coins is [-]%, this is the silver in the national inventory, and it was minted by Baoyuan Bureau, isn't this [-]% fire consumption too much?
Besides, the local fire consumption is only [-]%, and the military battle is [-]%. This is too..."

Yu Xin originally wanted to say that he was too greedy, but he stopped when the words came to his lips.

Because although he is talking about Wang Zhong in the military battle, everyone knows that Wang Zhong is His Majesty's confidant, what he said must be His Majesty's meaning,
To say that Wang Zhong is greedy is not to blame His Majesty?

Fire consumption refers to the loss of collected silver after being minted into silver coins. The weight of the Ming silver coins minted by Zhu Yunxi is only 80.00% and [-] cents, of which silver only accounts for [-]%, which is more than [-] percent. is copper and tin,

A silver coin is full of calculations, even if you add consumption, labor, and the money to buy copper and tin, the cost is only seven cents of silver.

And the value of this silver coin is one tael, which means that there are three levels of profit in the middle, and the thirty percent is where the profit lies.

Also known as fire consumption.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, was also a little unhappy, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is silver in the national inventory. It is all high-quality gold flower silver, not variegated, and Bing Zhanju eats [-]% of it in one bite... No way! This is too much! Please learn from Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi sat comfortably on the chair, held a teacup and said with a smile: "Wang Zhong, look, it's only [-]% of the fire consumption, they are not happy..."

Qin Kui stood there, staring at Zhu Yunxi with wide eyes...

Your Majesty, aren't you making a fuss...

Isn't this a blatant search for a thug?
Wang Zhong regained his energy immediately, and his waist straightened by three points. With the support of His Majesty, what is there to be afraid of?
It's over!
"Ru Butang's words are wrong and refuted. There is only so much silver in the treasury. In the future, when Ming coins are minted, more silver will come from the people.
You don't know what the fineness of the scattered silver in the hands of the common people is, right?How much loss is there in the middle?How much effort does it take to refine it into pure silver?
Your military department is only responsible for spending money, never considering where the money comes from, and you don’t realize the difficulty of minting coins..."

Not bad, the fighting power is not bad!

Zhu Yunxi gave Wang Zhong a passing mark in his heart, and then he sipped the tea leisurely.

Not to mention, this tribute black tea tastes really good!

At this time, in the Hall of Martial Arts, the courtiers had already quarreled.

When discussing matters, it is a time to quarrel. The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is right. Everyone has reasons and evidence. It is good if you refuse to give in.

And the more noisy it is, the more the emperor likes it!

I'm afraid they will be monolithic!
It's also fortunate that the generals were not discussing matters, otherwise, when the quarrel was so blushing, it was hard to guarantee that they would not raise their fists to reason.

After all, for generals, fists are the truth!
But no matter how noisy, there is a limit, it won't be too much, besides, the officials in the palace are also watching, who dares to lose their dignity in front of the king?
Wang Zhong alone would definitely not be able to quarrel with them, even if he was eloquent, he only had one mouth.

So soon, Wang Zhong was at a disadvantage amidst the courtiers' chatter that didn't talk about martial ethics.

At this time, Li Fu also joined the "Battle Group". Wang Zhong was promoted to be the eunuch of the Bingzhan Bureau, and Li Fu was promoted to be the eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals and the Hand of the Seal. He had a high status among the internal officials, so he was also qualified to speak.

Besides, Tie Xuan Baozhao, Qi Tai Jingqing, Lian Zining, Jian Yi and others were all promoted by Zhu Yunxi himself.

Even if they think Zhu Yunxie's eating is too ugly, they won't quarrel too fiercely, after all, they still have to give His Majesty some shame...

The courtiers accused Wang Zhong and Li Fu of filling their own pockets, wanting to embezzle His Majesty's internal treasury, and coveting the national treasury...

Li Fu said that in the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers, the whole world belongs to His Majesty, not to mention [-]% loss, even the entire treasury belongs to His Majesty, and it is His Majesty who assigns the household department to use it for the people...

The courtiers are thieves, and they have the heart of disobedience!

Don't look at Li Fu's age, but the older he is, the more tricky he is. Don't look at his low voice, but every sentence he speaks hits people's hearts, making people's throats tight!

Coupled with the fact that Wang Zhong was young, fast-talking, full of energy, and his voice was loud, although the two of them were slightly at a disadvantage, they were not pulled away too much...

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would be great if he kept Ma He by his side...

Adding up the three of them, I don't know if they can beat these scholars...

"Clang, clang, clang."

The correcting officer rang the copper chime to remind everyone to be quiet and not to make noise.

Only then did the noisy voices stop, and the noisy environment became much quieter.
Zhu Yunxi shook his ears, threw out all these miscellaneous things, and ordered: "Thirty percent of the fire consumption, half of the Baoyuan Bureau, and [-] percent of the household department, don't fight for the rest!"
