The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182 Moving to the Forbidden Sea
Wang An spoke.

"Then what requirements does the governor have for the specifications of silver coins and copper coins?"

Zhu Hongyu stroked his chin and spoke.

"The materials used to mint coins must be sufficient, the appearance must be exquisite enough, and there must be a certain degree of difficulty in casting. They must not be easily imitated!"

"Currency is the face of the military government, and it is also the face of Daming. Don't be careless!"

Minting coins must make money. Whether it is copper coins or silver coins, it is impossible to cast them all with silver or copper. It is certain to be mixed with other metals.

The proportion of these metals is the profit of coinage!
However, although Zhu Hongyu was short of money, he didn't want to do that kind of thing.

By minting bad money to make money, it is indeed possible to make some money for a while, but in that way, it is easy to lose the reputation of Daming coins!
Once the reputation is gone, it is not easy to establish it again!

Wang An bowed and said.

"Don't worry, the governor, the institute promises to come up with a result as soon as possible!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded to express his relief, and then he led the team out of the research institute.

……

On the way back to the military government office, Zhu Hongyu rode on horseback, thinking about things.

In fact, regarding the matter of coins, Zhu Hongyu not only moved his mind to mint coins, but also planned to print banknotes.

But, because of Daming Treasure Banknote's reputation of being tantamount to butt wipes.

Zhu Hongyu could only quietly change concepts and make some small moves.

For example, Zhu Hongyu started to build a bank.

Compared with real banks, there are many fewer businesses, only a few businesses such as gold, silver and precious metal exchange, collection, lending, and investment.

When Zhu Hongyu paid the officials and soldiers within the military government, he used banknotes.

However, Zhu Hongyu did not learn from his ancestors to play hooligans and not allow others to use precious metals, but to use the waste paper he handed out.

Moreover, Zhu Hongyu didn't directly say that it was banknotes, but only said that it was a voucher!
Vouchers, as the name suggests, mean that they can be used instead of gold and silver.

Of course, if you want gold and silver, you can take the voucher to the bank to exchange for gold and silver at any time.

If someone finds it troublesome to exchange gold and silver, the voucher can be used directly as money.

Because in the bank, when exchanging vouchers for gold and silver, they don't look at the person, only the vouchers, and whoever holds the vouchers can exchange it for whoever!
It doesn't have to be officials, businessmen, common people, craftsmen, farmers, anyone can change!

Of course, the bank also provides the business of exchanging gold and silver for vouchers!

Through such means, Zhu Hongyu endowed the voucher with value, making him no longer an ordinary piece of paper.

In addition, Zhu Hongyu has other means. The military government has specially set up a supply and marketing cooperative for the whole society. The goods in it are complete in variety, high in quality and low in price.

However, the supply and marketing cooperatives accept vouchers, not gold and silver.

And most importantly, vouchers can be used to pay taxes!
Zhu Hongyu took great pains to build the reputation of banknotes.

When the vouchers became popular and the reputation of the Ming Dynasty was re-established, Zhu Hongyu would almost be able to make banknotes.

The road is long and full of difficulties and obstacles, but the final result must be quite wonderful!
……

At the same time, due to the defeat in the Xiamen naval battle, the navy of the Qing army was almost wiped out, and the Zheng family was invincible at sea for a while.

In order to curb Zheng's acquisition of population and materials from the coast, and use this to develop.

The Qing court issued a decree to move the border and ban the sea!

According to the records of the time, the period of repression is only three days, those who are far away do not know it in time, and those who are close know it but do not believe it.

More than two days later, they arrived on horseback, staggering for a while, the rich abandoned all their money, and the poor husband had a pot, his wife and children, carrying a bucket of rice, carrying a bunch of manuscripts, and looking at the door to live.

From Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Fujian and Guangdong, thousands of miles of fertile soil were donated as basil, and all the aborigines were displaced.

Translated into vernacular, there is a three-day deadline for relocation. Those who are far away will not have time to know the news, and those who are close will not believe it even if they know the news.

Two days later, the army cavalry arrived, so the rich all abandoned their wealth, and the poor took their wives and children with their pots, and all moved inland. From Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Guangdong and Fujian, the fertile soil for thousands of miles along the coast has all become Wild Basil.

It is conceivable that even if modern people move from planning to implementation, it is definitely not possible to complete the specific operation preparation in three days.

However, the coastal residents of China at that time, under the coercion of the rulers of the Qing court, moved away from their homeland without any warning and under the coercion of the Qing rulers.

The description of the people at that time was "the order was issued immediately, and the wives and children were carried on the road, placed in their rooms, set on fire, and no stones were left. More than half of the people died, and the roads were covered. That is to say, one or two people who can reach the inland have no food for stones. , starvation is now..."

At the same time as moving, it is burning.

"Later on, the soldiers galloped and shot, and the rockets burned their huts, and the emperors and birds scattered, and the fire lasted for months. Thousands of warships of the navy also burned at the same time, saying: There is no capital for the bandits."

Countless people who had no time to migrate were brutally killed by the Qing army!
Countless people were starved to death in this process, or died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Qing army!

Ranging from dozens of miles to hundreds of miles, the entire southeast coast, the richest, most fertile, and most densely populated coastal area, turned into a piece of scorched earth.

The southeast coast, which had finally stabilized, was once again in chaos, and the people along the coast, who couldn't bear it anymore, set off a vigorous anti-Qing uprising.

It can be said that the rulers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not do anything about personnel at all, but if they had made less trouble, the wars in the late Ming and early Qing could not have lasted for such a long time.

When the Qing army entered the pass, the northern land was quickly pacified, and the southeast fell in anticipation of the wind. The Ming army could only linger in the southwest.

As a result, Dorgon's decree to shave his hair and make it easy to obey, the first round of anti-Qing waves erupted in the Central Plains, Shanshan, Southeast and other places that had long been pacified.

If Dorgon didn't shave his hair and change his clothes, Nan Ming would have died early!
Can it last until now?

As a result, now that Yongli has just been arrested, the Qing court turned back and moved out of the forbidden sea, forcing the southeast coast that had already settled down to rebel again.

I just don't understand, what the hell is Man Qing doing!
At this time, the war in the southeast has just ended, and it is the time when the people feel at ease. Even if they do not move to the forbidden sea, how many people will follow Zheng? !

In the end, he insisted on tossing, and forced Dongnan back again!
What's more, the Manchu Qing's actions can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of China's development of the ocean.

The power of the Chinese in Nanyang completely lost the follow-up population supplement, which made the Western colonists completely bigger!
Not only that, but the accumulation of primitive capital since the end of Ming Dynasty was completely wiped out!
It took China from a country that stepped into the gate of capital with one and a half feet, and kicked it back to a half-slavery and half-feudal country.

What's even more disgusting is that some of the coated slaves in later generations will forcibly whitewash their masters, saying that the Daming Maritime Ban is the root cause of China's modern backwardness, and that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just the Qing Dynasty inheriting the Ming Dynasty.

Good guy, my Ming Dynasty has been dead for more than 200 years, and I have to take the blame for you!

This pot is thrown, it is really authentic~!

But the problem is, since the Longqing switch in my Ming Dynasty, there has been no such thing as a sea ban for a long time!

The most typical example is that in the East Asian waters in the late Ming Dynasty, it was not the Western colonists who had the final say!
It's Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and other Han sea masters!
