my days with tyrants

Chapter 27 Despicable!

So Yang Guoshi finally gave Zhu Yuanzhang three anti-depreciation tricks.

First, dollarization.

With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, forcing the younger brothers to take over the treasure banknotes, at least part of this can definitely be done.

After all, everyone around was trembling under Zhu Yuanzhang's knife at this time.

And more importantly, these small countries are short of currency, and North Korea has been printing money since last year, which is their money.

Vietnam is currently in the last years of the Chen Dynasty. In fact, Hu Jisuo, the powerful minister, has the final say. He also made banknotes very soon in the original history, called Tonghui Baochao.

Copper was lacking in this period, even from the Song Dynasty, so iron coins were cast in the Song Dynasty, and now with the extensive use of firearms, copper is even scarcer. In this case, paper money has become the best choice, and compared to Compared with copper coins, banknotes are obviously more suitable for searching. After all, once the printing press is turned on, everything will be available. In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang used force to force these subjects to use Daming banknotes.

But this needs to be accompanied by the opening up of foreign trade.

So in essence, it is to let Zhu Yuanzhang open up foreign trade.

After all, if he wants people to use the treasure banknotes, he has to give them the source of the treasure banknotes and let them sell goods to Daming, so that the treasure banknotes can enter their market and they can have treasure banknotes, but let them sell things to Daming They have to let people buy things from Daming, and eventually the trade will be opened up, and as long as Daming forces them to use precious banknotes for transactions, even if they want to be this second-hand dealer, they will do everything they can to sell to Daming the goods that Daming can accept...

Even if you go to Luzon to pull a boat of rice.

It doesn't matter whether the transportation to Daming makes money or not. The important thing is that they can go to Daming to exchange treasure notes, and then use the treasure notes to buy what they really want.

That's where you get rich.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang can set what they need to input.

Grain, sulfur, spices, and even cotton, as for where they get them, this has nothing to do with Daming.

But only by importing what His Majesty wants, can they exchange for precious money and then buy silk, porcelain, etc. to resell to make a fortune, so that they can search for the domestic supply of Ming Dynasty by themselves. Believe in the integrity of the monarchs and businessmen of these countries, they will do it for them. If you make a fortune as a second-hand dealer, you won't mind causing famine in your own country.

Second, open a bank.

This is relatively more difficult.

But it is easy to combine with the third, that is, the reserve system.

As long as free conversion is allowed while deposits are being absorbed.

Moreover, this kind of exchange mechanism is not an invention. It already existed in the Song Dynasty, and Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty actually had a deposit.

This is a true metal-backed currency.

It's just that my Great Song Dynasty has made too much progress. I just came up with a metal-based currency, and it was very regular at the beginning. 36 guan iron coins were printed, and only 120 million guanjiaozi were printed. It can be bigger, why should we maintain such a high reserve ratio?
Then I started to learn from bald men.

One step into the millennium!
I have to say that the officials and gentlemen of my Song Dynasty are really smart.

What Zhu Yuanzhang needs now is to go back to the metal standard, and to take the free convertible gold standard in a serious manner, or the gold and silver double standard, and this is also proved by history. The most stable currency system, the only problem is Zhu Yuanzhang's current gold standard. Not much silver.But fortunately, his knife is also the most ruthless, so it is completely possible to make this symbolic, that is, he decreed that it can be exchanged freely, and set up a few examples of exchange, even for small-amount exchanges.

but……

Dare to exchange a large amount and directly find an excuse to kill him!

Anyway, he has been doing this to those aristocratic families all these years, and he doesn't mind copying a few more.

but……

"I still have to go out and grab it."

Yang Feng said earnestly like Mr. Tang.

His Majesty the Emperor is thinking deeply...

"You can suppress it, but it doesn't mean that your descendants can suppress it. This system was originally played by countries in Europe and America in history. It was first called England. They relied on this system to maintain the country for more than 200 years. Hegemony. They have only one tactic to maintain this system. They go out and rob non-stop. Where there are gold mines, they grab them all. Kill yourself and go up to grab it.

Let's take the example of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that destroyed your Ming Dynasty.

The first time, England defeated them. Their capital was in Beiping, and they relied on the canal to transport grain. The British sent their warships to Zhenjiang, occupied Zhenjiang and blocked the canal transportation.

Then they forced them to pay compensation, and they paid more than 2000 million taels at once.

After more than ten years, they teamed up with another partner and fought directly from the Bohai Sea. After landing, they entered Beiping to drive away the Manchu emperors, snatched all the treasure gardens and set them on fire.

Then they forced the Manchu family to pay 800 million taels of compensation before leaving.

A few decades later, they fought against several other Western and Western powers and occupied Beiping. In the end, do you know how much they forced the Manchus to pay?
Four hundred and fifty million taels.

It has to be paid all at once, over several decades, or paid in advance, but the interest is calculated during this period, and the actual final addition of interest will result in a compensation of [-] million taels.

Got to grab.

Horses have no night grass and no fat!

A country without windfalls is not rich! "

Yang Feng said.

"Isn't that like a robber?"

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously said that even he felt hypocritical.

"Your Majesty, the one who steals the hook is a thief, the one who steals the country is a lord, the one who blocks the road and beats the sap is a robber, and the one who expands the territory is the Holy Lord."

"I, Ming, will eventually be gentle and gentle..."

"Huairou? Do you believe it yourself? You won the Ming Dynasty through Huairou? You used Huairou to make Chen Youliang commit suicide, and then gave up the territory to you? You relied on Huairou to make Emperor Hu Yuan feel sorry for us. Give up the Central Plains by yourself? You rely on Huairou to let Li Chenggui be your dog? You obviously rely on knives, why are you talking about Huairou? You killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword in the box was still bloody. What do you say Huairou now?"

"Uh, you are talking nonsense more and more."

"Your Majesty, what I taught you was done by the most powerful country at that time. This country was originally a group of abandoned people, because they couldn't get along in their hometown, just like your lowly nationality at this time. In the end, they chose to go far away. They crossed the ocean and arrived in America. When they went there, they had no food and relied on the local natives to help them, so they settled there. Then they began to kill the natives, because they had firearms, and the natives couldn’t beat them, so they killed them They could only leave their homes and run away.

In the end, the best land is theirs.

Then they continued to kill the natives, continued to rob the good land of the natives, and continued to kill them like this. It took more than 200 years to kill the natives to the point of extinction.

Even in order to kill the natives, a reward was offered publicly, and the scalping of a native could be exchanged for money, including the old and weak, women and children.

In the end, they monopolized the original land of the natives and made us the strongest country at that time. Most of the land that was wider than Ming Dynasty was plains suitable for farming, and it was the most fertile black land. Oil.

Tens of millions of tons of grain are produced annually.

At that time, one ton was about [-] catties as you are now.

You see, this is the winner. "

Yang Feng said.

Of course, he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was pretending.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor has been the emperor for nearly 30 years, and it is no longer the time to fight and kill in the past.

At this time, he had already put on the crown, put on the posture of the Holy Lord and Mingjun, and sat in the hall to maintain his majesty, so it was not easy to open his mouth and shut his mouth to grab it.

hypocritical!

Scumbag!

"On that map, you clearly marked the good places to produce gold and silver, in case you need it!"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

"Don't worry, I'll make it clear for you. In fact, the Wa country has a gold-producing island in the sea and a silver mountain along the coast. But now they don't even know it. After all, these things are underground. You have to dig out and refine. As long as you can take these two places, you can guarantee that your Ming Dynasty will not be short of gold and silver for 50 years. In addition, the America I mentioned before, if you can take the silver mines there, your Ming Dynasty will have at least 200 gold and silver in the future. Years will not be scarce.

But that is too far away, and requires long-term preparations, and travels across the ocean. "

Yang Feng said.

"Wo Kingdom, Wa King Huailiang has always been rebellious and rude."

"Your Majesty, Huailiang died a long time ago. He died more than ten years ago and retired 20 years ago. The Huailiang who later paid tribute to Daming was just a local name in Kyushu Island. In order to be able to trade in Daming, he lied It is the envoy of Huai Liang, and the real boss of the Wa country is their shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

"Original Yoshimitsu?"

"Correct."

"His envoy came to Ming Dynasty, and the court officials thought that Huailiang was the king of Japan, and he, a general conquering barbarians, should not pay tribute alone, so he ignored it."

"Their decent monarch is the emperor, but he is ignored like a Zhou emperor.

The place is divided by the princes, that is, those daimyos, the strongest daimyo is General Zhengyi, who is the boss with real power.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has always wanted to trade with Daming.

Then you might as well send someone to confer him the King of Wa. He actually likes this title. Later, your heir granted him the title like this, and he was quite satisfied. Then we will allow him to trade, so that we can figure out the route first, and send those who go to Wa to Japan. The sailors on this route are all raised, and when it’s almost time, you can find a reason, for example, he concealed the emperor, he is deceiving the emperor, and then attack him, we don’t need to occupy all his territory, and occupy the gold and silver mines, That's fine too.

Their place is actually very poor, and there is not much land available, otherwise they are so short.

There is a lack of food, and those who have been starved from generation to generation are all raised by hungry adults. At that time, they were able to eat meat by serving as dogs to the strongest country, and they were also bred by that powerful country. We are almost tall.

There is no need to waste too much effort in this kind of place. "

Yang Feng said.
