I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 40 Setting Up 1

Chapter 40 Setting Up 1
"The way to get money is in this big man's banknote!"

"Precious banknotes," the little emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of the words, and continued to ask: "Besides printing precious banknotes and spending them, I can't think of any use for those waste papers."

Li Yuntang smiled, but did not directly answer the question; the little emperor couldn't wait any longer, raised his right hand and tapped lightly on the back of the former's head, angrily said:
"Don't be tricky, explain the matter to me quickly!"

After being tapped lightly on the head, Li Yuntang finally opened his mouth, but instead of answering the question, he asked in reverse:
"My lord, if I say that someone will take the initiative to spend money to buy my big man's banknotes, will your lord believe me?"

The abnormal words fell into the ears of the little emperor, first causing him to frown slightly, then she thought for a while and guessed:
"Could it be that you want me to follow the example of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and issue an imperial decree: When collecting taxes, you can only pay them with precious banknotes, not copper coins or silver taels?"

Li Yuntang shook his head slightly, denied the answer, and then explained:
"My lord, let officials, gentry, and common people pay taxes with precious banknotes. Although they can sell some of the precious banknotes, it is only a drop in the bucket. The dignitaries of the country can easily sell them at low prices or even free of charge if they have enough time. way to obtain treasure notes;

However, this policy really affects many common people. In order to pay taxes legally, they have to buy from profiteers at high prices.

Furthermore, the emperor is in urgent need of money, and the tax is forced to be paid in banknotes. I don't know when the money will be returned..."

The little emperor listened for a long time, but she didn't hear the point, so she couldn't bear her temper and interrupted directly:
"Then tell me how to sell it!"

Seeing that the little emperor reached out and wanted to knock his head again, Li Yuntang's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed her wrist with a smile on his face, and finally he stopped talking:
"My lord, please allow me to make a hypothesis; if someone buys this 100 tael banknote for [-] taels; then the emperor sells the banknote for [-] taels, is it still worrying that no one will buy it?" ?”

"Oh, two or three?"

When the little emperor heard it, he didn't know whether he was laughed angrily or Li Yuntang amused him. He even forgot to take out his grasped wrist, and said with disdain in his expression:
"Today's treasure banknotes cost 500 taels of rice for a stone; a 100 taels of treasure bill is only worth three renminbi. How can there be foolish people who spend five taels of silver to buy it?
If Yuntang finds such a person, he must bring him to me as soon as possible. I will sell as much as he takes; if he thinks it is not enough, I can continue to print for him! "

Li Yuntang seemed to be talking nonchalantly, and then he uttered a sentence that left the emperor dumbfounded: "The person who bought the banknotes for five taels of silver should not be someone else, but——

His Majesty himself! "

"you!"

The little emperor was angered by such repeated and incoherent words, and immediately reprimanded him severely:

It's such a time, you still have the mood to joke with me..."

But as he spoke, the little emperor swallowed the words back, as if he had realized something from Li Yuntang's words.

After only a short while, she opened her mouth again, but what she said was no longer a complaint to Li Yuntang, but a soliloquy similar to analysis:
"Does Yuntang mean that only if I buy the banknotes with five taels of silver, will the rich and noble people in the capital think that this 100 tael banknote is worth five taels of silver, so that they will be able to buy it with five taels of silver?" Buy in twos and twos?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuntang was impressed. He didn't expect the little emperor to be so smart, and she had already guessed the most critical step after he only made a trivial reminder.

It's no wonder that the old emperor was willing to put his daughter on the crown prince's position all the time. The little emperor's thoughts were indeed exquisite.

Li Yuntang was preparing to spread the news that someone wanted to buy Baochao at a price many times higher than the market price; and then while buying Baochao on the bright side, he kept raising the purchase price.

Secretly sell the bought banknotes at a price higher than the purchase price; during this period, the purchase price released the next day will be higher than the previous day's selling price, and the previous day's selling price, It is also a part higher than the purchase price of the day.

Such continuous changing of hands is the process of constantly earning the price difference; at this time, because of the expectation of making money, the rich and noble families in the capital will rush to hold the precious banknotes.

When you have made enough money, or the whole plate is too big to cover the funds, you will stop the purchase, so that the high-profile households who continue to buy treasures and prepare to make profits will be locked up!
I have a big idea, but I still need to pay more attention to the details, otherwise I might lose everything; so Li Yuntang sorted out his ideas and explained to the emperor:
"My lord, the matter of raising the price needs to be done, but it cannot be done by the lord, because this method of soliciting money is a deception.

Even if the money was cheated in the end, if the dignitaries of the capital know that the game was set up by the emperor, there will be turmoil; at that time, not only may they not be able to keep the money, but they will also tarnish the reputation of the emperor in vain. "

"Then what exactly do you mean?" The little emperor felt that this method had merits, but there was still something he couldn't figure out in his heart, so he urged in an eager voice: "Tell me the complete idea!"

"My lord, we should find a Westerner, such as a Brettian, to act as a bidder in front of the stage!"

There are two advantages to doing so. First, the acquisition is more in line with common sense. "

"More reasonable?"

"That's right," Li Yuntang answered the emperor's question straightforwardly, and then patiently explained:
"Guochao regards itself as the kingdom of heaven, and those noble and wealthy people despise Xiyi from the bottom of their hearts; if there are Han people who take the initiative to buy precious banknotes, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as insane;
But at this time, if someone tells them that the banknotes that are almost like waste paper in their eyes are regarded as treasures by Xi Yi, and they will spend real money to buy them;

Then the sense of detachment in their hearts due to contempt will be magnified several times at once because of the difference in their views on treasures;
This sense of detachment, or sense of superiority, coupled with their lack of understanding of Xiyi, will make them feel that the purchase price is more reasonable;
In addition, some of the precious banknotes were circulated to Tianzhu as military pay during our expedition to Dongyu; therefore, it is logical that Buyi knew or used such precious banknotes. "

"Well——" the little emperor nodded slightly to show his approval, and then asked: "What about the other benefits?"

"The second level of benefit is that there is no symptom. If a Han person comes to raise the price, if the price is not guaranteed, they will be stripped of the cocoon and find out the reason;

But if it was a Xiyi who came to cheat, the emperor would have no psychological burden if he silenced him after the incident was over; if he expelled him from the country, he would leave no trace! "

The little emperor didn't think so far, and after Li Yuntang's point, his heart suddenly became clear; and before Li Yuntang finished speaking, he added:
"It's not enough to have this item alone. I think that the emperor should also make a large-scale hoarding of treasures; only by becoming the party that suffers the same loss can the suspicion of the emperor setting up a bureau be cleared to the greatest extent!"

Looking at the smug expression on Li Yuntang's face, the little emperor knew—this fake eunuch must be full of bad water in his heart!
