Chapter 217 Destruction or Auction

Hu Guang talked heart-to-heart with the generals during the day, and had to explain the banknotes at night. After talking about this, his voice became a little hoarse.

He turned his head to look at the night outside the hall, and after a little calculation, he didn't plan to work overtime.Turning to look at Wen Tiren, he confessed: "Whether this banknote can be popularized is of great importance, and the impact is even far beyond Qing's imagination. However, this requires the imperial court to have enough silver reserves. Wen Qing, my Ming's fiscal and taxation reform must be accelerated. Already!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren's expression turned cold, and he immediately replied respectfully: "I understand!"

Hu Guang knew that Wen Tiren was actually busy with a series of things related to the war during the period of years ago, so he stopped talking after reminding him, turned his head to look at Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and said, "I have had someone print it out." I bought 62 taels of banknotes. The Ministry of War has already counted the soldiers and meritorious service outside the city. In the morning, I will send Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fan to jointly escort the banknotes to Qing and others. .”

"My minister complies with the decree!" Bi Ziyan immediately replied, and when he wanted to say something, he heard the emperor explain again: "The 62 silver kept in the household department should also be moved out of the city together. There must be no embarrassment for soldiers to exchange banknotes for silver taels. The credibility of banknotes must be established from the beginning!"

Bi Ziyan was a little taken aback when he heard this. If it was changed before, it would be a blessing not to let them exchange silver taels without the court's majesty to frighten those soldiers, let alone preparing silver taels for them. Back to the court, why bother!

But now, they have to prepare for the exchange work specially for them, so there must be no embarrassment!The world has really changed!

However, Bi Ziyan immediately came to his senses. After all, the emperor made it clear that if he didn't exchange banknotes quickly, the silver standard system would be useless, and others would not believe it.

Thinking of this, Bi Ziyan secretly sighed in his heart, even if these banknotes finally returned to the court, it was a waste of work, but still have to do it.With that in mind, he immediately agreed.

Seeing that he agreed, Hu Guang didn't care what he was thinking, so he turned to look at Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and said, "The Ministry of Rites should start to promote the matter of the national anthem and national flag as soon as possible. I mean, the sooner the better!"

Awakening the concept of the country and nation of the Ming Dynasty people and letting them understand the unity of the family and the country cannot be achieved immediately, and it is a long-term process.Therefore, it must be implemented as soon as possible to let time bear witness.

"My minister obeys the order!" Xu Guangqi responded immediately, with a hint of excitement in him.

Because this is something that has never existed in the past dynasties, and from now on, even if there is a change of dynasty in later generations, there will definitely be a national anthem and a national flag.When the time comes to talk about the origin of the national anthem and the national flag, I, the Minister of Rites, will definitely be mentioned and remembered by future generations.

After Hu Guang finished his explanation, he remembered something again. He turned his head to look at Shoufu and said, "Wen Qing, the issue of this banknote will also be announced to the world as it will be issued tomorrow. It must not be forgotten. Otherwise, if a small number of soldiers It’s not good to bring the paper money back, but the local government has not received the decree about the paper money!”

"Old minister obeys the order, this matter will be done tomorrow morning!" Wen Tiren responded with a serious face and nodded immediately.

After ordering these things, Hu Guang asked the three courtiers to go back to rest early.But after they left, he looked at the banknotes on the imperial case, and suddenly slapped his head: I'm so dizzy, this banknote is flawed, what should I do?
I didn't know what I was thinking at the beginning, but I forgot to print "Daming Central Bank".This is to tell the world that only the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty has the power to print and issue banknotes, which is very important.

But having said that, I originally thought that with the cement, there should be time to start the construction of the Daming Central Bank and the Daming Loyalty Hall at the same time.I didn't expect the weather to be too cold, and the freezing weather made the construction more difficult.Most importantly, the lack of materials and food control also affected the construction progress.

All resources had to be satisfied with Daming Loyalty Hall first, and the central bank's affairs were put on hold, and there was not even a discussion.But even so, the Daming Loyalty Hall did not complete the first phase of the project as scheduled.

Thinking about it, Hu Guang picked up the banknotes on the imperial case and continued to look at them.I'm also a little lucky, because the Ministry of Household Bank is limited, and this first issue is only 62 yuan, which is not a large scale.There will be a ceremony tomorrow, and after the soldiers exchange banknotes for silver taels, they will be destroyed in a centralized manner and a new edition will be issued.

Thinking of destroying it, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.In such a difficult period for the imperial court, these banknotes cost a lot!Isn't it too prodigal to just destroy it?
Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly had an idea, or else these banknotes will be auctioned, and those who are willing to collect them can auction them for collection.Whether others think or not, he can be sure that these banknotes will definitely appreciate in value in future generations!
this is a good idea!Hu Guang couldn't help being happy.But then he immediately remembered his identity, and couldn't help but twitch his mouth, what is this?I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the maker and judge of all rules, can I play like this?
So, Hu Guang was entangled.Is it ruined?What a prodigal in these difficult times!Not destroyed?How can there be an emperor who plays like this!Otherwise, I can use the power of the emperor to deliberately make Hu Zhengyan print some mistakes, and then do it again?
This is the time when the imperial court needs credibility. If you play like this, who will believe you?If you really want to play this kind of game, you might as well issue bonds!

Thinking of this, Hu Guang is still determined to destroy it.After all, as the majestic emperor of Ming Dynasty, one must not be short-sighted!

"Your Majesty, the night is getting dark, you have to rest!" Fang Zhenghua reminded him a little worried seeing the emperor's face changing rapidly.

When Hu Guang heard this, he came back to his senses, thinking that tomorrow would be another busy day, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.This emperor is really working hard!Come on, go to sleep!
In the early morning of the next day, the sky in the east showed a hint of paleness. Before the curfew soldiers were withdrawn, there were officials busy on the street.

When the winter was fully exposed, the one-day martial law in the capital city did not continue, and there were more people on the streets.

This day is New Year's Eve, the last day of Chongzhen's second year.Although the emperor has decreed that the new year will not be celebrated, there are still folk New Year's activities. As long as there is no extravagance and waste, and they hide at home and keep quiet, no one will really take care of it.

However, on the main street leading to Deshengmen, there are still soldiers guarding, and idlers are not allowed to occupy the road.Only some officials hurried past from time to time.

Outside the capital city, when the dawn appeared in the east, the captain of Jinyiwei was ordered to urge the battalions to make fire and prepare meals, and prepare to assemble.
