Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Zhu Di said worriedly: "So, what if all the people are rushing to exchange it?"

Guo Andao said: "Your Majesty, how much money do the people have in their hands? Moreover, if it is exchanged, it is the gentry and merchants who take the lead.

Therefore, a notice can be posted in advance showing how many copper coins or silver each person can exchange for each year!
In this case, His Majesty needs to set up a bank to be responsible for the exchange of treasure banknotes! "

"Also, Your Majesty can also allow merchants to use treasure money to buy salt from the salt field, or purchase some items made by the Ming Dynasty official workshop...

In this way, those merchants will purchase a large amount of treasure banknotes from the people, saving the court from having to collect the treasure banknotes from the people!

However, this method of buying salt with treasure money needs to limit the time limit or limit the quantity. Otherwise, it will affect the transportation of supplies to the border! "

"In addition, Your Majesty can also build a warehouse in each government to store a large amount of agricultural tools, seeds, grain, cloth and other materials, and allow people to purchase them with treasure money..."

"If things go on like this, people will gradually develop trust in the banknotes, and the banknotes will not depreciate so fast!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di looked overjoyed, "Since the treasure banknotes began to circulate in the Yan and Japanese countries, the depreciation of the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes has improved.

Then according to what Guo Qing said, an opening was opened for the merchants to use treasure banknotes instead of a small amount of salt, and supplies were stocked for another year, so that the people could use the treasure banknotes to buy supplies and exchange them for copper coins and silver...

The value of treasure banknotes will definitely recover! "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An flattered.

Zhu Di nodded slowly and said with a look of relief: "In the long run, Guo Qing has been the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who has a steady stream of suggestions on the dilemma of devaluation of treasure banknotes.

In this case, we might as well leave this matter to Guo Qing, and we will order the Ministry of Accounts and the Baoqian Lifting Department to cooperate with Guo Qing.

In addition, Guo Qing is also responsible for opening the bank..."

"Your Majesty's lesson!"

Guo An's face changed greatly, and he quickly declined: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm lazy, it's actually that I'm self-aware. I'm busy with Jiangjun Mountain and the Military Academy all day long. I have too many thoughts and have no time to care about other matters.

Even for the Shenji Camp, Wei Chen just hurriedly made up the training details and handed them over to Liu Sheng for management.

As for the matter of treasure banknotes and banks, although it is big, it is also detailed, and it is also very long-term. It requires a year, or even two or three years of work. The humble minister is really not up to the task! "

Aren't you lazy?
Zhu Di couldn't help but glare at Guo An, but after thinking about it, Guo An was right. He had already been put in charge of an army. If he was allowed to take charge of treasures and banks again, even if he trusted Guo An again, he would be in trouble. This is really not the case.

Moreover, matters involving treasure money and banks must require a lot of trivial matters.

According to his understanding of Guo An, even if Guo An is forced to take charge, Guo An will leave the banknotes and bank matters to his subordinates.

Seeing that Zhu Di was still hesitating, Guo An was heartbroken and directly released his ultimate move.

"Your Majesty, if the treasure banknotes are allowed to be exchanged for copper coins and silver, Wei Chen feels that just one Japanese country cannot sustain it. Before the horses and the fleet come back, Wei Chen will search the map more and find several barbarian countries. Go to some silver and copper mines, wait for Ma He and others to come back, and then send navy and craftsmen to conquer and dig..."

"No need to wait for the horse to arrive!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and looked at Guo An eagerly.

"Guo Qing, now that our Ming Dynasty is no longer invaded by Japanese pirates, we can send at least [-] naval troops!
As long as Guo Qing confirms it, I will send the navy to conquer it. If silver or copper mines are found, they will be dug immediately..."

"This……"

Guo An was startled, but he replied honestly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I gave Ma He a map before Ma He and others went to sea.

On those maps, there were islands and barbarian countries that the minister asked them to explore! "

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he stared at Guo An closely, "Guo Qing's intention is that as long as Ma He and others come back, then we will know where are the silver and copper mines overseas?" Guo An said: "Your Majesty, there is still gold mine!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed, "Guo Qing is indeed our treasurer!"

As he said that, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh slightly and said: "Ma He and others have been gone for a year and a half, and there is still no news!"

Guo An slightly bowed his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Ma He and others are going to the South and West Oceans. There are more than 200 large ships. Even if they encounter strong winds and waves, at least half of them can come back!...

Maybe, in half a year, they will be back! "

"I hope so!"

Zhu Di sighed slightly.

Afterwards, Guo An and Zhu Di chatted for a few more words, and Zhu Gaochi hurriedly walked in from the outside.

"The child has met his father and the teacher. I wonder if my father has called the child to come here, but what are his instructions?"

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Guo An also quickly returned a salute to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said: "This time, when Jinyiwei and Shenjiying go to Fujian and Yunnan, dozens of official positions will inevitably be left vacant.

We are not prepared to let the officials fill these official positions, including the vacancies left last night! "

Zhu Gaochi was startled and looked at Zhu Di with some confusion, "What does dad mean?"

Zhu Di said quietly: "We are going to transfer some officials back from Yan State to fill these vacancies!"

"Transfer officials from Yan State back?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, "Dad, those officials of the Yan Kingdom, the officials appointed when dad was still the King of Yan, were not officials of the Ming Dynasty, and their reputations were not very high!

If those officials were transferred back and directly appointed as ministers or state officials, those court officials would probably fight to the death to remonstrate with them! "

After training in the past two years, Zhu Gaochi has become very clear-eyed.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, people only looked at their fame and academic background.

Now, with such a large official position vacant, the officials below have already stared at it with wide eyes, and may have started to make various connections and give various gifts.

As a result, those they had regarded as meat in their stomachs were, at the last moment, eaten by outsiders, and they were officials of the vassal state whose reputation was not as good as theirs.

How could those officials agree?
"We know!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "But we feel that the officials of Yan State are more worthy of our trust than the officials of the DPRK, both in terms of virtue and talent.

Having both ability and political integrity is the most important thing for an official..."

"In that case, then it will be according to dad's wishes!"

Zhu Gaochi still trusted the officials of Yan State. Since Zhu Di insisted, he was happy to go along with the situation!
Zhu Di said again: "Come and play!"

"..."

Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly stiffened!

Co-author, you asked me to take the blame!
