Don't look at the excitement that Lao Zhu is talking about now, it's just because he feels it. If there is a need in the future, Lao Zhu will regret it without any hesitation.
Lao Zhu was very satisfied with Han Du's performance. Regarding Han Du's explanation, he continued to listen with some patience.
Seeing this, Han Du continued: "Your Majesty, there are tens of millions of households in our Ming Dynasty, with a population of nearly 50 million. Even many people in remote places are almost all bartering, and no one Copper coins or treasure banknotes will be used. However, based on the current level of commercial prosperity in the Ming Dynasty, I have calculated that if there are only these treasure banknotes issued by the Bao Banknote Lifting Department on the market, they will not be able to meet the transaction demand at all, and it is even less likely to start to depreciate. Case."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu looked at Han Du unnaturally and asked in disbelief: "You mean you know that someone is printing treasure banknotes privately, not because of any evidence you found, but because of yourself?" Calculated?"
When Han Du heard this, he was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.
Lao Zhu suddenly felt a panic in his heart. Why are there such big differences between people? How many people in the world should be issued with treasure notes? Is this also calculable?
"Your Majesty, I am..." Han Du was about to discuss with Lao Zhu how much treasure money should be calculated based on the living standards of the people and the total amount of supplies. Of course, this kind of calculation can only be a rough calculation, and no one can calculate the total amount of materials in the world with incomparable accuracy.
Because the total amount of materials in the world is not a fixed value, but a variable.
However, calculations like Han Du's can also roughly estimate the amount of treasure money needed.
Before Han Du could finish speaking, Lao Zhu directly interrupted Han Du and said, "Just tell me, how many treasures have you printed privately?"
Hearing this, Han Du nodded and said: "Based on my estimate, there should be no problem with the Ming Dynasty issuing 50 million Guanbao banknotes now, and it will not cause devaluation. Therefore, I believe that the privately printed Baoba banknotes will not be less than 20,000 yuan." Thousands of dollars."
Han Du saw that Lao Zhu's face was getting more and more ugly, and his voice became lower and lower, "Of course, this is just my estimate."
No less than 20 million strings!
Lao Zhu's eyes widened with murderous intent!
The entire Fengtian Palace fell silent under the pressure of Lao Zhu's powerful momentum. Even Han Du could no longer complain and closed his mouth.
More than 20 million yuan, Lao Zhu felt sad when he thought about the wealth of so many people being robbed privately by borrowing banknotes. He issued treasure banknotes as a last resort, and Lao Zhudu solemnly stated that even if he borrowed this wealth from the people, he would repay it double to the people when he became rich in the future.
But someone dared to embezzle the wealth of so many people and erode the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
Such evil deeds are simply complicity in rebellion!
Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair with a serious look on his face and asked: "So can't we issue new treasure banknotes now?"
Han Du nodded and explained: "Yes. The old banknotes are crudely made and have insufficient credit. I originally planned to gradually replace the old banknotes with new banknotes, in order to increase the banknote's credit and avoid the continued depreciation of the banknotes, which would cause harm. To the benefit of the people. But now that someone is printing treasure money privately, my method will not work."
After a pause, he continued: "Because, no matter how many new treasure banknotes I print, others can print a large amount of old treasure banknotes and replace the new treasure banknotes in my hand. In this way, I have become a The accomplices made the treasure banknotes in the hands of those people from fake to real. I am afraid that not only will they not enhance the credibility of the treasure banknotes, but they will print a large amount of treasure banknotes, which will lead to further devaluation of the treasure banknotes and put the people at risk. The wealth was looted.”
When changing currencies, the basic routine is to exchange new currency for old currency, and in order to prevent the credibility of the currency from being reduced, a one-to-one exchange is basically adopted.
But now Handu cannot exchange it like this. If the old and new treasure banknotes are exchanged on a one-to-one basis, then the entire Ming Dynasty's wealth will be handed over to others. Nor can it be exchanged on the basis of one to ten, or even one to dozens. If this is done, it will also be a devastating blow to the credibility of Ming Dynasty banknotes.
Without the credibility of treasure banknotes, what is the difference between them and paper?
"Therefore, I implore the Emperor to suspend the issuance of new treasure banknotes until the person who secretly printed the treasure banknotes is found out before issuing them."
"That's all it can do." Lao Zhu said calmly. Now he understood why Han Du brought the printing plate with him. Since someone was printing treasure banknotes privately, it was impossible for them not to pay attention to Han Du's new treasure banknotes.
It was simply not safe for the printing plate to be placed in the banknote lifting department, so Han Du had no choice but to send the printing plate to me for storage.
After understanding Han Du's intention, Lao Zhu continued: "You don't have to worry about the private printing of treasure banknotes. I will go and check it out personally. In addition, I will handle the matter of guarding the banknotes and banknote printing bureaus." Even if Geng sends people over, you have to think about how you can ensure that the banknote paper and banknote printing bureaus are guarded completely."
"Your Majesty, I obey the order." Han Du was relieved when he heard that Lao Zhu had taken over the matter.
For those who dare to privately print treasure banknotes, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished by just one person. This is at least the work of a powerful force hiding in the dark, and the extent of the involvement is unknown.
Han Du is weak alone and cannot cope with such a huge force. Only Lao Zhu, the founding emperor sitting on the dragon throne, could find out this force and uproot it.
Seeing Han Du agree, Lao Zhu continued to give instructions: "In addition, these printing plates will be kept here with me for now. After you have guarded the banknotes and the banknote printing bureau tightly, I will send someone to deliver them to you. Treasure banknotes The printing cannot be stopped, even if it cannot be distributed now, it must be printed and prepared first.”
"Yes." Han Du agreed.
Waving his hand, Lao Zhu asked Han Du to step back.
After Han Du left Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair without speaking for a long time. The huge hall was extremely empty, with no one around.
No, there really was a person who walked out silently from the shadow of the dragon chair behind Lao Zhu.
In front of Lao Zhu, he knelt down silently.
The man was kneeling on the ground, not daring to say a word.
After a long time, Lao Zhu glanced at this person lightly and said softly: "You are somewhat self-aware."
Only then did this person reply: "I deserve death for my crime. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Lao Zhu's voice, which had not been heard for a long time, made the people on the ground even more frightened.
