"It's been seven or eight years!" Bi Yingdao said with a bitter smile: "Brothers, we really have no choice but to make this move!"
"You came to me to hope that I can help you?"
Bi Ying blushed, "Yes, but this is all Wei Chen's idea and has nothing to do with anyone else!"
Zhu Jun tapped his fingers on the table, "To be honest, the treasure banknote is a convenient thing, but it appeared at the wrong time, or in other words, the court did not take the treasure banknote too seriously.
You military households have been serving as soldiers for generations, and your life is not very good.
It's okay now, but it will be a problem later. "
Why was the Ming Dynasty so crotchless? The military household system was one of the biggest reasons.
At first, it was good for Lao Zhu to recuperate and build a health center.
Moreover, the military household system does not require the country to spend any funds, and it can also be used in battles when faced with war.
At the same time, the establishment of the military household system allowed more people to be sent to guard the borders.
The relatives of these soldiers will also go to the border areas and form settlements in the border areas to promote local economic development and achieve prosperity in the border areas.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that the poor did not give Lao Er troops because of the limited number of soldiers, coupled with the shortage of war horses and soldiers.
Of course, the tightness of the national treasury is also one of the reasons.
In Zhu Jun's view, the military household system was poison wrapped in candy.
The early military household system could well adapt to the social development at that time and provide more security for the country.
However, the problem of land annexation has also arisen, and land annexation has become increasingly serious.
A large amount of land was in the hands of the nobles and landowners who did not have to pay taxes, which reduced the country's fiscal revenue.
At the same time, under the military household system, officers' existence was tantamount to landlords, and soldiers became tenants who farmed for free for officers. Soldiers even had to be dispatched by officers.
What's more, some soldiers actually became personal servants of officers.
Many soldiers would rather run away to do business than suffer any more oppression.
The military household system, which originally existed to protect the development of the Ming Dynasty, eventually became corrupt and even contributed to the country's demise.
Secondly, under the military household system, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their strength cannot be guaranteed.
Just like Qi Jiguang's fight against the Japanese, he did not use soldiers from the garrison, but mostly recruited soldiers.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system was indeed very good in the early stage. It not only reduced a large amount of financial expenditures, but also did not have to transfer the pressure of these military households to the common people. It also allowed these military households to farm on the spot and train on weekdays. .
But now the world has not yet been unified, and places near the sea like Weihaiwei are far inferior to those inland.
Coupled with the intrusion of Japanese pirates, military expenditures were huge.
Weihaiwei in this time and space suffered even more than in another time and space.
Under the instigation of Meng Yuan, the Japanese island country often raided Weihaiwei, not only the ronin, but also the real regular army.
And if this military salary is deducted with treasure money, who can afford it?
For this kind of military family, one military household is the main force in the family. Does it depend entirely on the women and children of the family to do the farming?
You can still make a living when the weather is good, but if there is a disaster, you will have to go into debt.
In just a moment, Zhu Jun figured out the joint.
When Bi Ying saw Zhu Jun criticizing the military household system, he was too frightened to say anything. He just said: "Wei Chen just wants to make our brothers live a better life..."
"Since you dare to come to me, it means that you still have some concerns. I know Weihaiwei's difficulties. Let's do this. In the future, if you have treasure money, you can exchange it with the palace.
One or two treasure notes can be exchanged according to the market price. Of course, I am not talking about the private price. No matter how low it is, I can give you 85 to 90 percent. You also understand that even the copper coins are of good quality. Good or bad! " Zhu Jun said.
Bi Ying was overjoyed, but then he thought about it, there were more than a thousand people in the guardhouse, which was a huge expenditure of money. No matter how rich the Weihai Palace was, it would not be like this, right?
"Your Highness, this is a huge disadvantage for you. It's fine once, but if it happens again and again..."
"It doesn't matter, I will naturally have a way." Zhu Jun said to Xun Busan on the side: "Tell Dabao that in the future, people from Weihaiwei will use the treasure notes to exchange them, and they will exchange them uniformly. They cannot deliberately withhold the price."
Bi Ying looked at Zhu Jun gratefully, his face flushed, "Your Highness, Wei Chen, Wei Chen..."
Zhu Jun patted him on the shoulder, "If you have a problem, you come to me to show that you trust me, but I put the vilification first. It is not difficult to fake this treasure banknote. If someone comes with a fake treasure banknote, Anyone who cheats money will be counted, and I will never let him go!"
Bi Ying was shocked, patted his chest and said: "Who dares to do such a thing of giving birth to a son without seed, Wei Chen will be the first to do it!"
To put it bluntly, Zhu Jun can redeem 85% or even 90% of the treasure notes, which is completely comparable to Shenwu Tongbao with good quality.
Some of them are of poor quality, only 70% or even 75%, and their value is extremely low.
Although the official pricing is there, ordinary people have their own understanding that it is impossible to take their own things and let you take advantage in vain.
Now, Zhu Jun is losing money to himself and making money to them.
Everyone said that Zhu Jun had a kind heart, and when we saw him today, it turned out to be true.
Bi Ying knelt down again and again, thinking that in the future in Weihaiwei, King Weihai would have whatever he said.
"Okay, please notify them quickly and exchange all the treasure notes they have accumulated. Also, don't get involved with merchants in the future. Do you understand?" Zhu Jun reminded.
Bi Ying's heart trembled, "Yes, Your Highness!"
After Bi Ying retreated, Xun Busan said in confusion: "Your Highness, this treasure note is actually worthless. If we exchange it with him, wouldn't we be in a big loss?"
"You don't understand." Zhu Jun shook his head. Take the Mongolian Yuan's banknotes as an example. In order to issue these banknotes, the Mongolian Yuan's court even established a complete reserve fund system.
Lao Zhu issued this treasure banknote purely casually. In order to relieve financial pressure, there was no complete corresponding system.
Fortunately, he didn't harvest leeks like crazy, otherwise the inflation of Daye would explode.
The financial system is in too much chaos at this stage.
Copper coins, treasure notes, silver, and gold are even bartered in some remote areas.
In Zhu Jun's view, Daye's financial system is very weak and can be broken at the first glance.
And the great cause has the germination of capital, so the bank can be born.
Of course, the reason for exchanging the treasure banknotes was because it was controllable. It didn't mean that he was going to give Lao Zhu the treasure banknotes.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't guarantee the bottom line. Unless Daye has a complete financial system and can short the currency, it will lose money.
Zhu Jun couldn't do this kind of business of exterminating children and grandchildren, because in the end, it was ordinary people who were unlucky.
There has been a history of banknote issuance here, which means that the people have the ability to accept it.
If you want money to be valuable, it must first be circulated among merchants.
