Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 460 Can This Work?
"Your Majesty! Why are you here today? Wang Yin said two days ago that you wanted to see me, and I'm going to the palace to see you tomorrow!"

An Yongzhen was in the office of the bookstore to instruct someone to rehearse the script, when she saw Zhang Zuo calling her, she hurried over to this side, and was also surprised when she saw Qin Shao.

An Yongzhen was of course surprised when she heard that Qin Shao had become the emperor.

It's just that he's a very nervous person, and he has no ambitions other than liking story books and tinkering with some things.

Even now, An Yongzhen's annual dividends are actually not small because of helping to manage the storybook performances and tea houses and other things.

An Yongzhen is now a small rich man, but apart from buying a small yard after he became rich and taking over his uncle to take care of him for the elderly, he usually wears ordinary clothes, eats casually, and occasionally drinks some wine.

Because he is a spendthrift, and he doesn't know how to measure his spending.

All his dividend money is put in the account room here in the teahouse, and some silver is paid every month, and it is over when it is spent.

The days of uncle and nephew are very happy now.

His only worry now is that his uncle often recruits some women for blind dates, and wants him to find a wife earlier to spread the word.

Because he heard that stout women are good at giving birth, his uncle introduced him to all stout women, which made An Yongzhen live in the teahouse these days and dare not go back.

Once a person has no desires and desires, his heart is peaceful and without any fear.

Therefore, when facing Qin Shao, apart from the change in address, An Yongzhen still had the same personality and way of speaking as before.

Originally, he had always obeyed Qin Shao's words, and wanted to ask his opinion on everything, and the two of them got along like close friends.

"I'll see how it's printed today?"

Under the guidance of An Yongzhen, Qin Shao went to the printing workshop behind the teahouse.

It used to be used exclusively for printing tabloids, but now it also has a lot of cooperation with the Supervisor of Rites.

Many craftsmen from the Licensing Supervisor will also come here, and now it has become a small office, mainly responsible for research and development of printing.

Nowadays, apart from some technical craftsmen, most of the staff recruited by the printing and seal cutting department of the Lijian are unrecognized literati.

These people have a high level of education, have some experience in seal script, commentary, and collation, and because they are engaged in related majors, they also have certain experience and role in the improvement of printing technology.

"Your Majesty, it was printed by them, can you take a look at it? I planned to bring it into the palace tomorrow for you to see!"

An Yongzhen took out a stack of colored paper.

There are 12 sheets spread out.

The paper is slightly stiff, waterproof sesame oil paper, with red, blue and white patterns on it. A man dressed as a servant of Ming Dynasty touches a white salt jar in his hand. There are also piles of white salt on the ground, and there are some The little dolls who are tasting salt have exaggerated and cute expressions.

The size and color of the six paper stamps are the same, and the upper left line is large. The words: Daming Coins of the Great Ming Empire

Different words are also displayed on it: 1 point, 2 points, 5 points, 1 point, 2 points, 5 points, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan.

Decentralization is the corresponding Chinese character: Yifen, Erfen, Wufen, Lu, Yijiao, Erjiao, Wujiao, Yiyuan, Shiyuan, Ershiyuan, Wushiyuan, Yibaiyuan
Each denomination has a number on it.

On the back is a line of words:

Daming currency, universally accepted
Daming coins and salt are commonly used, forgers will be beheaded, and those who sue the arrester will be rewarded with a stone of salt, and half of the prisoner's property will be owned by him.

"Your Majesty, this...why does this look somewhat similar to the Daming Treasure Banknotes from earlier years?"

An Yongzhen likes to write story books, check some information, and get in touch with things in the early years, and she really sees the clues.

It's just that some numbers on it seem to have never been seen before, what: 1, 2, 3, 4... These symbols seem to have never been seen before.

This can't be blamed for An Yongzhen's lack of knowledge. In fact, compared with ordinary people, An Yongzhen is considered to be at the forefront of the times.

Arabic numerals had been introduced to Daxia in the Song Dynasty.

It just didn't spread.

Mathematics in the Song Dynasty can be regarded as the highest peak of the development of ancient mathematics in Daxia. Mathematicians used calculations and were not interested in learning Arabic numerals.

Folk merchants use Suzhou codes: 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩十.

In the Ming Dynasty, although a large number of Semu people were appointed as Qin Tianjian, mathematicians and businessmen still used Shusu and Suzhou codes.

The Suzhou code writing method is more suitable for Daxia people who are used to Hanzi, but if it is a relatively large number, it is really not as convenient as Arabic numerals, including calculation.

But the promotion of words, if there is no official intervention, it is difficult to achieve unity.

In addition, in ancient times, agriculture was emphasized and merchants were suppressed. Only merchants used Suzhou codes, which were codes, and many people in Daming were not familiar with them.

It's no wonder that An Yongzhen, who is fairly knowledgeable, was a little confused and uncertain when he saw these printed materials.

"This can be regarded as a treasure of Ming Dynasty!"

Qin Shao said directly.

"Your Majesty! Could it be... Could it be that you also want to issue Daming Treasure Banknotes?"

An Yongzhen cried out in surprise.

"I have this plan!"

Qin Shao laughed.

Know that people around you will be amazed when they hear this idea.

I also know that there are lessons learned from the past. If it is to be implemented, it is not that simple.

The road to success has always been full of thorns, and there is no success that can be achieved casually.

"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it's not easy. Although Tai Zu's Great Ming Treasure Banknotes have long since disappeared, it hasn't taken long to calculate them. Many people know that those things are just a piece of waste paper later! Your Majesty, you have great ambitions." , I understand better than anyone else, but I am worried that the public will not use this release, and it will only be one..."

An Yongzhen wanted to say waste paper directly, but she still got stuck in her mouth and didn't say it.

Although he speaks directly and does things directly, without so many twists and turns, in his eyes, even though Qin Shao is now the emperor, he is also a person who knows him well. If there is no Qin Shao, he will probably still spend his life in Anlu Prefecture In the days when you have a full meal, maybe you have already been begging on the street!
After all, his uncle was also in the official position in the early days, but now he has already retired.

He is now able to work in the job he likes, and it is all thanks to Qin Shao that he can live comfortably.

Although An Yongzhen was a proper literary and artistic young man in Qin Shao's previous life, he was not the kind of person who knew nothing about human relationships and the world. He knew how to be grateful and was friendly to others. This is why Qin Shao liked and was willing to help important reason for him.

"You said it was waste paper?"

"His Majesty!"

An Yongzhen felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, you're right. If it's not done well, it's just waste paper. After it's done well, it can replace silver!"

Qin Shao didn't hide it either.

"Instead of silver?"

An Yongzhen cried out in disbelief.

Can't blame him either!

After all, in such a long period of time and dynasty, silver has always existed as a currency, and it is a valuable thing in the minds of many people.

It's like in Qin Shao's previous life, someone told you that the banknotes he used to buy things all the time were worthless in the future and would be waste paper, and many people found it hard to accept.

To change people's thinking is of course a process.

And in this process, you can't be too tough and reckless, and you must take a method of moistening things silently.

Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.

……

Huguang Yingshan Salt Land.

The wild land of the original weeds and lakes has now been cleared of weeds, and rows of townhouses have been built around it.

From time to time, the enthusiastic slogans of a large number of shirtless men on the salt floor came from time to time!
On the salt ground, hundreds of round cedars are densely packed together, and the "skyframes" are erected high, each of which is seventeen or eight meters high. Shocking scene in the sky.

"My lord! The patio has been erected! You can start pumping salt after your inspection is finished!"

A burly man said to a tall man dressed as an official of the Yanke Juju Department.

The man who made the report was dressed in official clothes, obviously an official in charge of the saltworks,

And the man standing with dark skin and guards behind him was the former Zaoyang King Zhu Youxi.
