But no matter how hard it is.Chongzhen still decided to issue banknotes.Of course, the name of the banknote has to be changed, and it can no longer be called treasure money, and now the people have an appetite when they hear the word treasure banknote.Silver tickets are a good name.In fact, the silver ticket is not really a banknote, it was originally just a proof of deposit or withdrawal.Silver tickets appeared in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the two Song and Yuan dynasties, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty had silver tickets, but only the Ming Dynasty did not appear silver tickets.Nowadays, Chongzhen pursues the doctrine of taking it, and simply issues banknotes in the name of silver tickets.Just do it!
At the time of the court meeting, Chongzhen brought up the matter, and the monarch and ministers saluted, so there was no need to talk about it in detail.Chongzhen is playing with a piece of paper, which is pale yellow in color, tough on paper, and obvious fiber texture is visible to the naked eye.He smiled and handed the paper to Man Chaowu to see, and he asked, "Do you Aiqing know this thing?"
the officials glanced at and sneered."
Isn't this just a piece of paper?
Your Majesty is so mysterious, could it be that the gold paper is valuable?
”Through the performance of these days, the image of Chongzhen's tyrant who loves money can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of his ministers.Wen Tiren took the paper and looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head, he didn't know what kind of paper it was."
The minister knows this paper."
At this moment, a loud voice came, and then a beautiful man with a dignified appearance and a magnificent appearance came out of the ranks.This beautiful man's minister is Wang Qia, but he is a tragic figure in history, and he can be called the most innocent person who was killed by Chongzhen.At that time, Wang Qia was appointed by Chongzhen as the secretary of the military department because of his considerable military talent.Later, Wang Qia did do a few major things in the position of secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was very respectful.It's a pity that Chongzhen in history is a mean and unkind guy, and it didn't take long for him to value Wang Qia, and he immediately turned his face and killed him without recognizing anyone.At that time, it was the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji sent troops to surround the capital, Chongzhen listened to the words of a traitorous minister, and killed Wang Qia, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, so as to deter the enemy and boost morale.What a reason for this!
Modern people will definitely not understand.But Chongzhen in history just did such a stupid thing, so he was not wronged at all when he lost the country.Wang Qia held the paper and looked at it for a moment, and he said respectfully."
Your Majesty, this thing is mulberry paper, the most tough and durable, this paper can be used to make umbrellas, frame calligraphy and paintings, make fans, etc., this dynasty Taizu also used it to print treasure money!"
Chongzhen nodded.He couldn't help but look at this Wang Qia Gao a little, and it was not that he could recognize the mulberry paper, but on the contrary, it was very ordinary, just the ordinary life paper of the common people.The ancients paid attention to governing the world with sages and sages, and they have always disdained to understand this kind of thing that is related to people's livelihood.Chongzhen praised."
Yes, this is mulberry paper, I am also going to issue paper money like Taizu, today I found you Aiqing to discuss the matter of paper money, you Aiqing think it is feasible" The officials below were shocked.The tyrant is about to issue banknotes, with the character of this money-loving tyrant, what does he want to do, and he will ask our opinions, and the ministers at the moment are all silent.Wen Tiren stepped forward."
Your Majesty, the minister feels that this trip is impossible, Taizu issued treasure banknotes back then, but in more than ten years, the treasure banknotes were as cheap as paper, and in order to issue treasure money, Taizu didn't know how much manpower and material resources were spent, which can be said to be more than worth the loss."
All the ministers looked at Wen Tiren again, and their hearts were secretly refreshed, "Hahaha, this Wen traitor actually has a day of disobedience to the tyrant, so we don't say anything, sit and watch the tyrant and traitor go to fight, it's best that this Wen traitor can fall out of favor immediately, and we will be on top." ”Chongzhen pondered for a moment, "Wen Aiqing's concerns are reasonable, and I have also considered this issue. ”The official clique was stunned.What tyrant actually softened This tyrant has always been strong, saying that even if the blood is stained in history and the bones are like mountains, what he wants to do must be carried out?
Bah!
No matter what your tyrant says, we won't speak, anyway, just shout long live, and you have to follow his hair for the tyrant.If you feel comfortable, you will naturally be prosperous and rich, and you will have everything in your power and position.We don't know how to learn from the Donglin Birdman, and we have to sing praises every day against the tyrant every day.Chongzhen continued."
I have thought about it, the reason why the treasure banknotes of the Taizu Dynasty will be discredited by the people, and in the end they really become waste paper, there are three major shortcomings."
Chongzhen listed them one by one.First, the reserve fund was insufficient at the beginning of the issuance of treasure banknotes, and only the people were allowed to carry gold and silver to the government to exchange treasure money, and the people were not allowed to carry treasure money to exchange gold and silver.However, the people carried the old treasure money to exchange for the new treasure money, and they actually had to add money, and most of the people loved the new treasure money and hated the old treasure money.So much so that the value of the old and new treasure banknotes is confused.Third, although the treasure banknotes of the Taizu Dynasty are very beautifully printed, they cannot completely eliminate fake treasure banknotes, fake treasure banknotes are rampant, and the people have no ability to identify.Chongzhen smiled and asked the ministers, "Do you think what I said is reasonable?"
”Yes?
Is the tyrant finished?
The officials woke up suddenly, only to find that they didn't know what the tyrant said You are a big tyrant who has been chirping crookedly for so long, how can we remember but not be afraid.Mao wants to touch it and see how we slap the sycophants and slap you to death as a dead tyrant.All the officials knelt down in unison, their mouths were like smeared with honey, and all kinds of sycophants patted over without money, "Your Majesty is a genius, the minister has been thinking about His Majesty's words for a long time, but he can't find a flaw, it's really the Holy Son of Heaven!"
I implore Your Majesty to issue banknotes this year, so that thousands of people can benefit from it. ”"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal.""
Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal.""
Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal.""
The minister doesn't agree!"
At this time, an extremely inopportune voice came, and when the ministers saw it, it was actually Zhou Yanru who stood up.Hey, isn't this guy Zhou Yanru the best at touching the hair of a tyrant?
His sycophants are more powerful than all of us, why did he stand up against Zhou Yanru and said with a righteous face."
Your Majesty is really misleading the country and the people, Your Majesty's move is a great act of kindness by the people, the ministers ask for the life of the people, please Your Majesty can issue banknotes, do not delay."
The puff officer almost vomited blood and died.I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless one, I'm bah, Zhou Yanru, you're a big sycophant, but why didn't we think of such a god's sycophant, misstep!
