After Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan agreed on the major matter, Zhu Yuanzhang made the specific contact and implementation of the matter and asked Erhe to handle the matter. After all, he and Shen Wansan were considered acquaintances.
Moreover, Erhe was able to bring Shen Wansan here, which showed that Shen Wansan also trusted Erhe.
This is very important. The most important thing between partners is trust. Without trust, nothing else can be discussed.
However, Shen Wansan also put forward a precondition.
It is this matter that Zhu Yuanzhang must pay close attention to and provide regular guidance.
After all, this matter is also a brand new thing for Shen Wansan.
Shen Wansan knew about banknotes.
But Shen Wansan was also confused about what Zhu Yuanzhang said about finance, such as the stock exchange that would be established in the future.
However, although he didn't understand it, he judged with a businessman's sense of smell that this was a very powerful thing.
Shen Wansan was also full of confidence and determined to do something big with Zhu Yuanzhang.
It should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was born to be a leader. He could incite the emotions of others and let others join him in fighting for his ideals.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang will also give very real benefits to his partners.
After all, it is not enough to have ideals. Sufficient interests are also needed to maintain cooperation. Zhu Yuanzhang knew this very well.
First, we need to make the cake bigger so that everyone gets more and more.
After all, finance is a very involved matter and requires an overall plan.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely investigate to the end. Obviously, this is also his long-term financial support for establishing the foundation of Ming Dynasty!
No matter how far this matter is finally achieved, a big partner has been secured.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang will also conduct some preliminary experiments in his Jinling.
The big thing here was over, and Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Jinling immediately.
Upon arriving at Jinling City, Zhu Yuanzhang went back to his mansion first, met his wife, and enjoyed a loving lunch cooked for him by Ma Xiuying.
After taking a short rest, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to invite Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen to the commander's tent.
Especially Li Shanchang, who is his big housekeeper, logistics, finance, money and food. Li Shanchang is responsible for these things.
Therefore, this matter can be said to be Li Shanchang's expertise.
Liu Bowen was not interested in how to do this specifically, but he also admired Zhu Yuanzhang's idea very much.
"Bowen thinks this strategy is feasible. If it succeeds, it can be said that half of the world is in our hands!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt very strange after hearing Liu Bowen's words!
"Why do you say that, sir? Why doesn't Yuan Zhang understand? What does half mean?"
Li Shanchang also looked at Liu Bowen.
"Brother Bowen, please speak clearly. I didn't understand what you meant either?"
Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang calmly.
"Commander, don't be anxious, Rong Bowen will explain it to you!"
"Waging a war means fighting for money and food, and fighting for population. The two are indispensable. If the commander-in-chief succeeds in this strategy, even if we control the money and food that day, wouldn't it mean that we already have half of the world?"
After listening to Liu Bowen’s explanation, he also burst out laughing!
"It turns out that Mr. Liu is such a half. I thought he meant to divide the world into two!"
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen said seriously, "The world must be unified, and the inheritance left by our ancestors cannot be lost. Anyone who wants to divide the world into two will be the unworthy descendants of Yan and Huang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, this Liu Bowen is really extraordinary!
This is good, I like it!
"Don't worry, sir, the world will be unified!"
Since Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to do this, he will definitely implement it.
But how to do it specifically, we still have to think about it all.
Over there, he wanted Erhe to make some contact with Shen Wansan and make arrangements. On the Jinling side, he asked Li Shanchang to take charge.
But what does King Ming’s gold banknote look like?
Zhu Yuanzhang first wanted to print out the gold banknotes.
Issuing Mingwang gold banknotes is not a simple matter, and printing must be kept confidential.
There is also a code for each gold note to prevent counterfeiting.
The printing technology of later generations was quite powerful, but the current printing technology is somewhat backward.
Zhu Yuanzhang started by improving the printing technology. Each Ming Dynasty gold banknote is unique and has a different number, making it impossible for others to easily copy it. This requires certain technical conditions.
He is a science and engineering student and has some knowledge in these fields.
But it still takes a long time of experimentation to do this.
But these days, there are many skilled craftsmen.
Zhu Yuanzhang invited a group of people, all of whom were skilled craftsmen. They were all very powerful figures in the printing industry.
In this era, Zhu Yuanzhang had a feeling that in fact, the talents of the ancients were not bad.
Sometimes they just lack an idea.
As long as you tell them, they will suddenly understand and quickly build your things.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang's flying boat and the cannon he built, it shows that ideas are the most important.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy to do these things.
Because of this step-by-step progress, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This is how people are, once you are interested in something, your thoughts will flow.
These skilled craftsmen, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and prompts, then printed the Ming King's gold banknotes.
This kind of gold banknotes should be easy to carry, can be stored for a long time, and should be waterproof.
After all, if banknotes cannot be stored for a long time, it will not work if they want to be popular in a wide area for a long time. This is a prerequisite.
Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was really interesting to design and print this Mingwang gold banknote together with them.
A lot of knowledge was involved, and Zhu Yuanzhang also invited some Taoist priests.
Because don’t Taoist priests know how to make elixirs?
Anyway, as long as he thinks of it, he will let people do it and let these subordinates find ways to implement it. He is responsible for providing ideas and letting others find ways to implement it.
After many efforts and many failures, finally one day, the sample of King Ming's gold banknotes was successfully printed.
This treasure banknote is waterproof, anti-counterfeiting, and easy to store. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied with this.
Cotton was added to the paper-making materials of King Ming Dynasty's gold banknotes, because the main raw material of a currency that was spread internationally in later generations was also cotton, which could be stored for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang also learned and sold now.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang to the commander's mansion again and asked them to watch the newly printed Ming Dynasty gold banknotes.
