Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 594 The empress has the courage to make a good strategy, and the disadvantages of the money law will be solved in time

Although Xie Xuelong didn't understand what he said for the sake of Aimee Zhu and the court's face, everyone understood what he said.

That is to persuade Aunt Zhu to stop competing with those private money dealers, because it is impossible to win.And once it fails, it will be a situation where both the country and the people will lose.

Xie Xuelong thought that what he said to Yuan Jixian had explained the issue of money laws in the Ming Dynasty very clearly, and Auntie Zhu should be able to follow the advice.

However, Auntie Zhu was only silent for a while, and then said: "Since we know that there is a problem with the money law, how can we not deal with it because the tail is too big? Doesn't this mean that the disaster will be passed on to future generations? How is this different from lying down?"

Although it was the first time for the cabinet ministers to hear the word "lay flat", the word was used here very vividly, and they understood it immediately.

I couldn't help but blushed.

I thought to myself: What can I do if I don’t lie flat?The question of money law cannot be solved at all.

Seeing that the cabinet ministers were silent, Zhu Wei said again: "Since the disadvantages of the money law are left over from the national policy, then we should change the national policy. Today the cabinet will draw up an order to abolish the ancient coins before my Ming Dynasty!"

The cabinet ministers looked at each other, and then Xie Xuelong asked with a wry smile: "Did your majesty never want to abolish the ancient coins when you are in my dynasty? The question is how to abolish it?"

There are countless people who trade ancient coins and private money among the people, how can it be banned?The imperial court issued this decree, but it could not achieve its purpose, and it would only damage the imperial court's prestige in the end. "

It is true that some things cannot be banned by the court or the state - sometimes national policies can be enforced, but sometimes they can only be guided by the situation.

Auntie Zhu frowned slightly, and remained silent for a while, but she was listening to Hao Guangming giving him advice.

As for whether Hao Guangming has enough wisdom—even if he doesn't, there are still many netizens on the Internet and later generations.

Soon, Auntie Zhu said, "Firstly, there are officials in the imperial court who neither collect nor recognize the value of ancient coins.

Second, exchange ancient coins to the people at a price higher than the market price.

Third, continue to crack down on private money and counterfeit currency.Anyone who privately makes copper coins will be severely punished according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty". Within three generations of the family, except for those who report, the rest will be exiled! "

In fact, privately coining coins in all dynasties has been a felony. Except for the exile of the main criminal in the Tang Dynasty, the Qin and Han Dynasties have been sentenced to beheaded or hanged since the Ming Dynasty.

The Daming Law’s handling of this crime has already been mentioned above, and the rewards for accusers are also very generous, or the government rewards tens of taels of silver, or rewards private coin miners’ family wealth.

Knowing that it is private money, and still using it, it is only a first-class punishment for reducing crimes.

At the same time, local officials are also jointly and severally liable. If there is private money in the jurisdiction, at least a major demerit must be recorded, not to mention the impact on promotion. If the matter is too big, they may be convicted.

However, laws are all enforced by people, so despite the strictness of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" in this regard, it was basically not enforced seriously after the Hongwu Dynasty.

For example, "Knowing that it is private money but using it, the crime will be punished first-class", that is exile.

Among the common people of Ming Dynasty, they knew that it was private money, but they used it, so how many of them used it? Could it be that they were all exiled?
The imperial court could not be exiled at all.

No, Auntie Zhu had just mentioned three strategies, and Yuan Jixian raised this issue.The implication is that it is impossible to strictly enforce the Great Ming Law, which will only force the people all over the world to rebel.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhu frowned again, and said: "Then give a period of one year, and people from all over the country who hold private money can go to the government office to exchange Zhaowu Tongbao at the market price.

One year later, the circulation of ancient coins and private money is prohibited, and only Zhaowu Tongbao and other Tongbao of our Ming Dynasty are allowed to pass in the market..."

Having said this, Aimee Zhu stopped suddenly.

Because Hao Guangming on the other side suddenly realized a serious problem.

"It's easy to distinguish between Zhaowu Tongbao and private money, but it's difficult for other Tongbao in Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the more exquisite Jiajing and Longqing Tongbao are okay to say. The quality of Chongzhen Tongbao made by the imperial court, local government, and warlords a few years ago is not even as good as some private money. How to distinguish it from private money? "

After hearing these words, Auntie Zhu couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Several cabinet ministers, Zhu Yuxi, suddenly fell silent. They were puzzled at first, but soon realized that there was a big loophole in Zhu Yuxi's words.

No, Xie Xuelong smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no way to distinguish many imperial coins from private coins. Those coins are not as exquisite as Zhaowu Tongbao and difficult to imitate."

Aimee Zhu closed her eyes when she heard the words, as if she was thinking again.

About ten seconds later, Hao Guangming over there was still thinking of a solution, and the cabinet ministers here were thinking about how to persuade them. Aimee Zhu opened her eyes suddenly, and said in a firm tone: "The imperial court exchanged ancient coins at the market price. As an aid, the means of private currency is used to order the local government to completely ban the circulation of ancient coins and private money for a period of one year.

For a period of three years, the circulation of other copper coins other than Zhaowu Tongbao is completely prohibited.At the time of introduction, all copper coins except Zhaowu Tongbao were listed as banned coins.

Three years later, if there are still people holding banned money, they can still go to Yousi to exchange for Zhaowu Tongbao.But the exchange is not the market price, but the court price, and the actual price should be lower than the market price.

If it is directly used for trading in the market, others can report to the government, and if it is verified, the informer can get half of the banned money for trading as a reward.What do you think of this strategy? "

At this moment, Aimee Zhu showed the majesty of a real emperor, which made several cabinet ministers startled.

Immediately, they each began to think about the strategy proposed by Aimee Zhu.

Soon, Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty is wise, I think this strategy is feasible - it not only gives the people a one-year or three-year buffer period, but also uses market exchange as a supplement, it will no longer be an act of forcing the people.

Even three years later, some ignorant people were given a chance to make up for certain losses.

And the law of rewarding those who report can make it impossible for those who try to trade with forbidden money.What a great strategy! "

The rest, for example, Huang Daozhou was still thinking because he didn't understand Qian Fa; Zhang Youyu and He Yingrui nodded subconsciously; Yuan Jixian, Xie Xuelong, and Lu Zhenfei were also thinking, but these three knew Qian Fa.

No, Xie Xuelong got up and asked: "Your Majesty, this strategy is indeed feasible, but if this is the case, the local responsible for exchanging copper coins will have a heavy responsibility. If his personnel are bad, it will be difficult to implement a good strategy, and it will even become a strategy that harms the people." .”

Yuan Jixian said: "Currently the most suitable places to implement this policy in the local government are the treasury houses of prefectures and counties, and the finance department of the governor's yamen. However, can they really take on this important task?"

When the cabinet ministers spoke one after another, Hao Guangming on the other side gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "What my wife said just now is not just a simple good strategy, but a display of courage beyond ordinary emperors. ah."

After a pause, Hao Guangming happened to listen to Yuan Jixian's speech, and then said, "I think it's best not to use the treasury and finance department to deal with embargoed money.

It is better to take the opportunity to create a new department to prepare for the establishment of local banks in Ming Dynasty in the future.

Didn't you entrust a money supervisor under the Ministry of Finance?Then establish a three-level organization at the local level, the Money Supervision Office, the Money Supervision Bureau, and the Money Supervision Institute, which are specifically responsible for maintaining the money law.

After a few years, you can start a bank with officials and other talents trained by the Duqian Department. "

Aunt Zhu nodded slightly when she heard this, and then said Hao Guangming's proposal.

Previously, Yuan Jixian, Xie Xuelong and others did not want to confront Aimi Zhu, but they really felt that there were loopholes in the previous money law policy.

Now, after listening to Hao Guangming's proposal, and after discussing it with the good strategy proposed by Auntie Zhu, they expressed their opinions one after another.

"If this is the case, I think this method of money is feasible." This is what Yuan Jixian and Xie Xuelong said, and they are more reserved.

Ma Shiying and Zhang Youyu praised: "With your majesty's and the emperor's good strategy, our court may be able to solve the problems of the money law that have plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years!"

Auntie Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, but with a smile on her face, she said, "Then, you and my ministers will discuss this matter with a specific and feasible detailed regulation."

"Yes."

···
In fact, at the end of July, Zhaowu Tongbao came out for a month, and not only the court was worried about the problem; Gu Daqi and other people who sold Zhaowu Tongbao for huge profits also found a big problem and were even more worried.

outside Nanjing.

It was still that seemingly ordinary manor.

In the evening, Gu Daqi watched the servants carrying boxes of Zhaowu Tongbao into a room in the manor. He was no longer happy at the beginning of the month, but sad.

　Second more.

　　Daming's money law malpractice is really poisonous, it gave me a headache, and I almost felt at a loss as I wrote it.I don't know if there are any loopholes in this solution now... Let's just laugh at it.

　　No updates today.

　　Good night~
