The net financial income of the new mainland of the Ming Empire, csj, accounts for about half of the world's, and it seems that it has not reached the goal of Emperor Haojing.
But don't forget that the Ming Empire also has three major territories: the princely vassal state, the general fiefdom, and the princely administrative area. If all are included, CSJ has at least 670 million silver coins.
Zhu Cixiang basically didn't care much about the income from these non-native territories. As long as these places did not hold back the imperial court and the imperial court subsidized them, everything would be fine.
Except for the management areas of the two princes, other places, whether it is the prince's vassal state or the general's fiefdom, are all responsible for their own profits and losses, because it is their own territory.
Whatever they make is theirs, and the court will not get any dividends from it. Unless a large-scale rebellion occurs and the local area is unable to suppress it, the imperial court will send troops to help.
Regarding banknotes, outside the homeland, if you want to change them, you can change them; if you don't want to, you can just change them.
The imperial court did not force them to exchange silver coins for banknotes, otherwise it would be considered as a disguised form of plundering their money.
In response to the strong demands of the people, Emperor Haojing also ordered the start of registration, that is, the printing and issuance of banknotes in four denominations: one cent, five cents, one dime, and five cents.
One-yuan banknotes are actually considered high-denomination banknotes for wage earners, and are inconvenient for daily purchases.
In later generations, the monthly salary was 5,000 yuan, but now the monthly salary is 50 silver coins.
One silver coin corresponds to one hundred yuan, which is equivalent to one dollar banknote corresponding to one hundred yuan.
And many wage earners still don't earn so many silver coins every month, which is equivalent to one dollar banknote being exchanged for two hundred dollars.
One cent banknote corresponds to two yuan in later generations, which is actually big enough, but it is very convenient for daily life.
The issuance of denomination banknotes can also facilitate the general public. After all, if the denomination is exchanged, the risk will be reduced accordingly.
First try exchanging dozens of banknotes with denominations of one dollar or less. If you feel it is more convenient to carry than silver coins, then increase the amount you exchange.
As long as the general public can accept banknotes, regardless of denomination, Northern Bank will meet market demand.
If you want to hoard this kind of stuff in the hope of appreciation and cash out, you are thinking like a polar bear...
After these denominations of banknotes were launched, the promotion of banknotes was immediately accelerated.
Vendors have also begun to accept customers using banknotes to purchase their own goods. Even if they are cheated, they will not lose much money.
Of course, one-yuan notes are still rejected, but that doesn't stop them from collecting a bunch of change and then going to the bank to withdraw or deposit money.
After the common people tasted the sweetness of banknotes, they made an even more unreasonable request.
That is to hope that Emperor Haojing will order the printing of banknotes with higher denominations so that everyone can spend more conveniently!
This is the idea of those who plan to use wallets instead of leather bags. They do not intend to carry copper coins anymore.
The problem is not about printing and distribution, but about design and engraving.
The four denominations of banknotes, namely one cent, five cents, one dime, and five cents, are already available, but they are not printed and issued together with the large-denomination banknotes.
If you really want to design one-cent and five-cent banknotes, you have to start from scratch. Even the size of the banknotes must be carefully considered.
One-cent banknotes are enough. If you really want to design one-cent and five-cent banknotes, why don't they have to be the same as stamps?
The purchasing power of a cent note is equivalent to two cents in later generations, and can only be used when riding a bus or buying candy.
At most, it is only used to make change when shopping. It cannot be used at all, but its use is not particularly extensive.
The five-cent banknote has a relatively wide range of uses. Its purchasing power is equivalent to one yuan, which can buy one or two newspapers.
Since there is actual need, and the wages of the general public are unlikely to rise rapidly in a short period of time.
This means that the denomination banknotes will not be eliminated for a short period of time, and they will be used in the next 20 to 30 years.
Then these two denominations of banknotes will have circulation value, and design can be put on the agenda.
From the beginning of the design to the start of printing, it took a total of one year.
It took ten months to design and two months to print. Once there were no problems, it was ready for release.
Emperor Haojing never expected that the most popular banknote would be the unplanned five cent banknote.
Most people think that the five-cent paper is the most convenient to use and is the most frequently used denomination by buyers and sellers.
Since the initial quantity put on the market was relatively small, there were queues for exchanges in various places, and supply exceeded demand.
There was no shortage of wood in the new homeland of the Ming Empire, and printing paper products was the starting point.
Zhu Cixi ordered that within two years, sufficient banknotes must be printed to meet market demand.
As long as the general public can accept the use of banknotes, it doesn't matter which denomination of banknotes is used.
Zhu Cihong didn't believe that people would spend the five cent denomination instead of the larger amount.
The only drawback is that printing denomination banknotes is not profitable at all, or even a bit of a loss.
Fortunately, it can be replenished through the profits of large banknotes, otherwise the printing house will go bankrupt sooner or later...
Due to the shortage of banknotes in the early stage, many business owners took the initiative to cooperate with bus companies in order to pay the leading part of wages to workers.
If you exchange denomination banknotes from the other party, you can give the other party 101 yuan per denomination banknote worth 100 yuan, which is considered a 1% profit.
More bosses took notice and started looking for connections. In the end, this business, which was not an exchange business, was sold to a price of 105 yuan or even higher.
Emperor Haojing also heard about this, but did not order the factory guards from various places to intervene, because this kind of transaction is not illegal, so why arrest them?
It's all your fault if you suffer losses or get deceived. Zhu Cixiang's hawks and dogs are just waiting for there to be fakes here!
Did any fish take the bait?
It's true that there was a painter who was down and out, and his family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot.
But men of letters are very courageous and would rather starve to death than go to the construction site to move bricks.
How to do it?
Draw some banknotes yourself!
But this person is not a professional, and the banknotes he drew are only 90% similar.
Don’t mention the watermark, but the good thing is that it’s in the evening when you spend money.
Fortunately, since I am a quasi-professional, the paper I chose does look similar to banknotes after being aged.
The other party was busy closing the stall, and the buyer was generous enough not to give change, so he was not noticed at all.
I used one yuan notes to buy some baked sweet potatoes sold by vendors. It was not a success, but it did solve the problem of eating.
Ever since, the painter was so excited that he began to work overtime again.
With the experience last time, the banknotes spent this time are even more vivid.
And the consumption time is the same as last time, so the other party cannot see the watermark clearly.
The great painter did not dare to go to the store to make purchases, for fear of being recognized by the salesperson at a glance.
He could only wander around the streets, and his targets were merchants who liked to take advantage of him.
Wait until late in the evening to do your shopping for the best chance of success.
It's impossible not to be nervous when trading, but fortunately you can cover your face with cold hands to hide it.
With successive successes, the painter gradually became bolder.
From studying one-yuan banknotes, to later five-yuan, or even ten-yuan.
Of course, he didn't want to draw banknotes of too large a denomination because they were difficult to spend.
At least use a hundred yuan note to buy baked sweet potatoes. Even if the other party is willing to accept it, they will definitely check the authenticity.
As the number of crimes increases, no matter how few vendors choose to report the crime, the accumulation will attract the attention of local factory guards.
In the end, the manual printer was captured alive. After many interrogations and on-site searches, it was determined that he was a single person without any accomplices.
However, it can still be used as a gift and presented to Minsk to receive the reward...
Although the stolen goods seized were only a few tens of yuan worth of fake goods, the bounty received by the factory guard fanzi amounted to several thousand yuan, and they were all genuine goods.
When he saw the cuffed suspect, Zhu Cixiang looked at his work and personally asked about the cause and effect of the incident.
In order to prevent the people below from fooling themselves, they were directly ordered to paint on the spot.
If he could draw exactly the same work, Zhu Cixiang would personally arrange the work for him.
Otherwise, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the lightest punishment would be to go mining for ten years!
Fortunately, the suspect lived up to expectations and actually drew a rough sketch of him in front of Zhu Cixiang and a group of people.
Of course it was only the shading on the front, but as a quasi-professional, Zhu Cixiang could still see the opponent's skills.
Three hundred and sixty lines, and he is the number one scholar. This person can be regarded as a heretic.
This is not deceiving the emperor. Both death and living crimes can be exempted, and special treatment can be obtained.
But we can't let him go back to his old job in the future. Since he likes drawing banknotes so much, let him go to the printing factory as a supervisor.
This job guarantees a good harvest despite droughts and floods. It is not very intensive and has two weekends off every week. The treatment in the factory is no less than that in the tobacco industry.
He can still paint when he has nothing to do, and it will not delay his interests.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang can deal with the less harmful ones by recruiting people to be safe.
On the contrary, especially when gangs commit crimes, the amount of money involved is huge and the damage is widespread, so we must set an example to others...
It’s not that there is no way out in painting, but there are very few painters who can paint well and are widely recognized.
Most painters can just be an art teacher and make a living.
Like this guy who can't even be an art teacher, he can only set up a street stall, sell his own works, and make sketches for passers-by to make some money.
After Zhu Cixiang ordered the issuance of banknotes, he said something that puzzled the cabinet members, but they soon figured it out.
"From now on, those destitute painters are the most harmful to the imperial court in the world!"
With this live performance, everyone has a deep understanding of this.
If these guys can't afford to eat, then they really dare to draw banknotes.
Fortunately, I did not draw three yuan, seven yuan, or fifteen yuan, otherwise Zhu Cihong would be very angry!
Thinking on the bright side, since painting can be caught in the Ming Dynasty, other countries should also be able to catch it. After all, painters and cooks have these two professions in primitive times.
As for the dangers of gang crimes, Jin Yiwei urgently reported that somewhere in the upper reaches of the Lower Tunguska River, which is about a thousand kilometers away from Irkutsk.
A team of Jinyiwei broke up a printing gang with more than ten members, and confiscated stolen goods on the spot. The total amount of printed matter seized was as high as tens of thousands of yuan.
There are three types of denominations: one dime, five cents, and one yuan. If the denomination is too large, the suspect thinks it is not worth printing. If the denomination is too large, the suspect is afraid of being exposed.
Even within what they thought was a relatively safe area, they were still captured by Jin Yiwei, and three helicopters were dispatched for this purpose.
During the operation, one person was killed on the spot and four were seriously injured. The rest were captured alive. All suspects and their printing equipment were transported to Irkutsk.
Okay!
This group of gadgets finally found a big project that made a lot of money every day, and they rushed to print fakes.
Zhu Cixiang felt that banknotes opened a warehouse door full of money for these gangs.
In the past, border patrols focused on preventing stolen goods, while inland patrols focused on hunting down wanted criminals.
Now both groups have been given a brand new task, which is to cut off their transportation channels or destroy the gang's printing dens.
All in all, it’s not much different from the plot of the movie, it’s just that you can really beat someone to death during the action!
The Northland is so large that it provides an almost obvious hiding place for gangs printing fake goods.
The difficulty of hunting them suddenly increased, so Zhu Cixiang increased the rewards for informants. As long as anyone can provide valuable clues, they can get a lot of bonuses.
Zhu Cixiang also took the opportunity to inform relevant factory guards that this was an arduous and long battle. The enemy was in the dark and we were in the open. Not only was it difficult, but it also tested everyone's patience and perseverance.
Therefore, it is necessary to be sufficiently mentally prepared. Similar cases will emerge one after another in the future. Relevant personnel in various places cannot be indifferent because nothing has happened in their jurisdictions, nor can they be complacent because they have made meritorious deeds.
Due to the particularity of the industry in which the target is engaged, the enemy knows better than we do to be hasty and to be patient. This requires us to always match wits and courage with the enemy, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, respond calmly, and use the strategy of a hunter to deal with his prey to defeat the enemy.
Not only did he verbally warn his subordinates, Zhu Cixiang also used his own money to purchase one hundred general-purpose helicopters for the factory guards, with the purpose of catching prey.
If the fake goods enter the mainland or other parts of the Ming Dynasty from other countries, then there is no need for factory guards. Zhu Cixiang will let the Ming Dynasty King Master teach the other party...
Although the Ming Empire sold a lot of tanks, aircraft, and battleships before, it seems to be no longer as good as before.
But its military strength can still rank first in the world, and this position will not change hands for a long time in the future.
Anyone who thinks they can't defeat the Ming Empire militarily should change their tactics.
Zhu Cixiang could solemnly tell the other party that the final solution was military.
You don’t have to worry about the Ming Empire changing its routine. In addition to guarding the house and guarding the courtyard, I keep dogs just to go out and bite people!
Of course, it would be a better solution if the other party also issued banknotes.
Compared with printed matter, no country or region in the world can compare with the Ming Empire.
The heads of state of other countries can witness with their own eyes how a certain emperor used fake goods to kill a hostile country!
Theoretically, if the country's economy collapses due to fake goods, it will be difficult to maintain military resistance.
When Master Ming Dynasty starts taking action, he should make even more profits...
