Long before the war with the Tatars began, Zhao Jun had thought of promoting the use of cloud banknotes after the battle.
Then use cloud money to control the Tatar economy and achieve the purpose of stably controlling the entire Tatars.
Of course, the emergence of Yunchao is not only used to control the Tatars. Nowadays, all walks of life in Yunzhou County are booming.
But correspondingly, Yunzhou also experienced a shortage of many basic materials, among which gold, silver, and copper were three very important ones.
As far as the territory currently controlled by Yunzhou County, there are no three mineral deposits of gold, silver and copper. However, with the development of Yunzhou Road Store's economy, the demand for these three metals is also increasing. This gradually makes There are already signs of money panic in Yunzhou County.
Zhao Jun also thought of exchanging gold and silver from the pass for circulation in Yunzhou County.
However, as Yunzhou County develops, the demand for gold and silver will increase exponentially every day. If it is exchanged from the customs, it will be okay in a short period of time, but over time, it will easily attract the attention of interested people. , and it’s easy to be caught.
Therefore, it is not advisable to exchange gold and silver from within the pass. With the amount required by Yunzhou County, exchange will also be a big trouble.
In order to cope with the money shortage, Zhao Jun finally thought of banknotes.
If Yunzhou County switches to banknotes, not only will the problems ahead be solved, but more convenient banknotes will also facilitate transactions among merchants in Yunzhou County, making commerce more prosperous and accelerating circulation.
It can be said that it has various benefits.
However, the opposite straight edge has its own disadvantages, that is, the establishment of a paper currency often requires the backing of a strong government as its credibility support.
Once this backing collapses or there is a crisis of trust, the depreciation rate of banknotes will definitely collapse.
This will have a huge impact on people's livelihood and the economy.
Therefore, if you want to develop banknotes, you must find a counterpart that can stably guarantee its value.
This counterpart is undoubtedly gold and silver. When dealing with this kind of thing, no matter whether inside or outside the customs, everyone recognizes it and it has extremely stable value.
It would be great to use gold and silver as reserves to issue banknotes.
But at the same time, things are back to where they started.
The reason why Zhou Jun wanted to discover the banknotes was because of the lack of gold and silver. If gold and silver were used as the corresponding standard items of banknotes, Yunzhou County would not be able to produce so much gold and silver.
At this time, something else is needed to increase the trust of people who use Yunqian in the Yunqian issued by Yunzhou County Yamen.
And this is Zhao Jun's prestige and credibility.
Today, in addition to using a small amount of gold and silver as the standard currency reserve for the issuance of Yunbao, all those who use Yunbao also use Yunbao with trust in Yun Wang Zhao Jun.
As long as His Highness King Yun's credit does not fall, the value of Yun banknotes will not fall.
This is just like America in her previous life. Although she made all sorts of strange maneuvers in the international situation, her credibility was in shambles.
However, it has always maintained a very high reputation in the use and exchange of the US dollar. This is the main reason why the international community has always been optimistic about the value of the US dollar.
The credibility of the US dollar has always been there, which has also kept the value of the US dollar stable. No matter how it changes, the main currency in the world is still the US dollar.
So, relying on the credibility and gold and silver reserves of Zhao Jun, the Khan of Heaven, cloud banknotes began to circulate in the southern grasslands.
Since the use of cloud banknotes in late October, the use of cloud banknotes is now not only limited to mutual transactions. In the homes of some herdsmen, herdsmen have gradually begun to use more convenient cloud banknotes for transactions.
Most herdsmen are also willing to accept cloud banknotes, which has led to cloud banknotes gradually becoming deeply rooted in the hearts of the major tribes in the southern grasslands and entering all aspects of Tatar life.
This in-depth development undoubtedly increased Yunzhou County's penetration and control over the Tatar tribe's economy.
One of Zhao Jun's purposes of issuing cloud banknotes was achieved.
After asking about Yunchao-related matters and answering the follow-up arrangements for Yunchao, Zhao Jun asked about the recent situation of other Tatar tribes.
Li Yi organized his thoughts and began to report on the intelligence received by Yunzhou County.
"Your Majesty, since the war ended that day and the Tatar army retreated to the grassland, the situation in the entire grassland has changed greatly.
In the first half month of returning to the grassland, all the tribes were silently licking the scars caused by the war, and basically nothing major happened.
But towards the end of October, when the tribes were about to start paying tribute for the first time, the atmosphere in the entire grassland became strange.
Originally, according to the information we received, the Tatar Great Khan Harinut Angchang clearly stated that tribes were not allowed to come to pay tribute without permission. All tribute matters needed to be reported to the royal court first, and then carried out after his review and classification.
However, as the tribute date approached, the remaining two first-class large tribes and six second-class thirteen middle-class tribes of the Tatars all seemed to have forgotten what Harinut Angxi said. Then he sent people to send tribute to Yunzhou County.
Only those small tribes below the third-class tribe, due to the dangerous majesty of Harinut Angxiang, the Great Khan, honestly reported the items prepared by their tribute to the royal court.
This situation is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Tatar royal court!
It is said that on the day he received the news, the Tatar Great Khan Harinut Angxi was so angry that he killed several female slaves outside his felt tent, and yelling curses continued to be heard from his felt tent.
Soon thereafter, the royal court's envoys took Harinut Angxi's orders to the major tribes that disobeyed the orders and began to hold them accountable.
However, all the major tribes that had been respectful to the royal envoy before were all showing arrogance this time and did not take the envoy to heart at all.
Some people who want to save face say that Dahan accidentally forgot it and will definitely remember it next time.
And some simply blasted away the envoys from the royal court.
He even said: "How many soldiers does Harinut Angchang still have in his hands? He doesn't even look at his current strength. He dares to say that they are on top. He really thinks that he is still the same as all the Tatars on the grassland before." The king of?
Since the king has fallen from the throne, he should honestly see his current identity clearly and do things that are consistent with his current identity.
Don't try to get involved in everything, regardless of whether you are worthy or not! "
These words immediately made the royal court envoy, who had always been received respectfully by these tribes, go crazy. He immediately put down his harsh words and returned to the royal court.
Of course, due to his harsh words before leaving, he was unable to return intact and had his right thumb chopped off as a lesson.
And when he passed the news back to the royal court, it immediately aroused Harinut Angxi's even greater anger, and he immediately shouted to order troops to go to the tribe to make them look good!
But after calming down, he dejectedly developed. Most of his royal guards had been wiped out in the battle with Yunzhou County.
With a salary of just over 20,000 yuan now, it would be good to be able to keep the grassland currently occupied by the royal court.
There is no way to attack a first-class tribe that still retains most of its strength.
Although their Angang tribe still has the identity of the Tatar royal family, they may only have a name now.
Other tribes no longer take them seriously, at least the big tribes.
