Daming Military Empire

Chapter 364
Reporting performance is another new word. The literal meaning of this is not difficult to understand. It is to take out the report that has been calculated in advance and read it to everyone. However, why do you have to read it in front of everyone and write it as a memorial to the emperor? I understand everything.

This is actually a way of communication. If they are asked to write a memorial and submit it, then only Zhu Cijiong will know the performance of each firm, bank, and company.If they read it out in public, at least everyone can understand what the various firms, banks, and companies are doing, so that there is a basis for communication.

Zhu Cijiong saw that everyone looked bewildered and seemed to have no intention of reporting, so he could only call the roll. He looked at Luo Yangxing on the right, and encouraged him: "Taihe, you come first."

Luo Yangxing heard the words, picked up the account book on the table, and asked in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, do you want to read it all?"

Now it's Zhu Cijiong's turn to be taken aback, Nima, I told you to make a report, why did you complete the account book!
He snatched the ledger from Luo Yangxing's hand and looked through it roughly. It was too detailed. Each branch had a special introduction, and each branch had a detailed record of the total amount of each business every month. I am afraid that it will take half a day to read, so this meeting will not last for a few days!
Fortunately, there was a summary report at the end. He directly opened the last page, handed the account book back to Luo Yangxing, and directed: "Just read the last page."

Luo Yangxing was unambiguous when he heard the words, took the account book, and read aloud: "Since the Daming Royal Nikko Bank was established last year, it has established 163 branches in various parts of Daming, and established 15 branches in Japan, North Korea and other subordinate countries. In addition, one branch office was established in Nanyang Luzon and Xingcheng Port, one branch office was established in Goa and Ceylon in South Asia, and one branch office was established in Continental Spain. Now there are a total of 183 branch offices with more than [-] employees , the total value of the principal is more than [-] million taels of silver, the total value of the issuance of Chongzheng Tongbao is more than [-] million taels of silver, and the total value of the issuance of silver notes is more than [-] million taels of silver. The total profit is more than [-] million taels."

Although everyone sitting here is a super rich owner, they were still taken aback when they heard these statistics. Hundreds of millions of taels of silver is quite a terrifying wealth for them!
In fact, it is not that the Royal Nikko Bank of Ming Dynasty has developed to this scale within a year. Wouldn't it scare people to death if it took a year to develop into this scale after a business that has been in existence for more than ten years.

However, Zhu Cijiong is not very satisfied with this performance. His goal is to use the Daming Royal Nikko Bank to control the currency circulation of Daming and all subordinate countries and even other countries. Everbright Ming itself has more than just such a little currency in circulation, and it is developing so slowly. I am afraid that the goal he set will not be achieved in 100 years.

He thought for a while, and asked Luo Yangxing directly: "Why is the principal increasing so slowly? It seems that when Rixinglong Company was split up, most of the gold and silver were allocated to the Daming Royal Nikko Bank. At that time, gold and silver The total value is almost 2000 million taels, and it has only increased by more than 8000 million taels this year, which is too slow. And didn’t I say that all the gold and silver should be made into Chongzheng Tongbao? You just use the principal in your hand to make Chongzheng Tongbao. Tongbao is more than 3 million taels, and the bank notes seem to have been issued for more than [-] million taels, and there hasn't been much movement this year!"

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing said in shame: "Your Majesty, my humble minister is incompetent. Well, your Majesty has not decreed that you can only use Chongzheng Tongbao, so when merchants come to exchange gold and silver, most of them still ask for gold ingots and silver ingots. Only A small number of people are willing to exchange Chongzheng Tongbao. This bank note is only used by the regular customers of the Da Ming Ri Xing Long Company, and no one else dares to use it, because it is printed on the Da Ming Ri Xing Long Company! And the principal is mainly based on exchange The profits come to grow, and there was only so much profit last year, so the principal only increased by so much.”

Zhu Cijiong was taken aback when he heard the words, most of the co-authors were his own responsibility!
Is it decreed to force all Ming people to use Chongzheng Tongbao?This is obviously unrealistic. There are more than hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty. If most people are unwilling to use it, it would be absurd to punish hundreds of millions of people for resisting and disrespecting the order. This must be achieved through subtle ways.

There is also the issue of bank notes. He has been too busy splitting up the Da Tomorrow Xinglong Company, but he forgot that the Da Tomorrow Xinglong Company is printed on the bank notes. It gave you face, and if you want new customers to use it, there is really no way.

As for the method of increasing the principal, there are many methods, but he has never taught Luo Yangxing in any of them!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong first blamed himself: "Well, I was negligent, how about this, the banknotes are printed new, printed with the best paper, and with shading, the shading is the same as Chongzheng Tongbao, use all For the characters of the great powers, try to replace the bank notes in the hands of old customers with new ones. It doesn’t matter if they can’t be replaced for a while, and the old ones will be used for a few years.”

In fact, Luo Yangxing has been thinking about this issue for a long time, but Zhu Cijiong has been busy and he can't find a chance to discuss it with the emperor. Now that the emperor has talked about this, he immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, how about this, my minister In the name of the Royal Nikko Bank of Ming Dynasty, a notice was published in the Beijing News to ask all regular customers to exchange bank notes for a period of five years. After five years, the old bank notes will be invalidated. What do you think?"

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, this idea is very good, but it's not enough to post it once. You tell Wu Meicun to let him post it for a year, and he must schedule this announcement every time."

This is a free advertisement, there is no need for nothing, Luo Yangxing immediately understood what the emperor meant when he heard the words, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "The emperor is wise."

Zhu Cijiong raised his hand to block his flattery, and continued: "As for the increase of principal and the issuance of Chongzheng Tongbao, it is up to all of you here. You all think about how to help Da Ming Nikko Bank increase its principal and issue Chongzheng Tongbao. Tongbao?"

Hearing this, everyone frowned and thought hard. Soon, Xu Erjue seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth and proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't you hand over all the gold and silver earned by Daming Royal Xinglong Company to Daming Royal Nikko Bank for exchange?" Cheng Chongzheng Tongbao, from now on, only Chongzheng Tongbao will be used for the payment of goods and the change found by Daming Royal Xinglong Company!"

Zhu Cijiong nodded in approval and said: "Well, this proposal is very good, but you can't just use Chongzheng Tongbao when paying for the goods, try to discuss with others, if the merchant is really unwilling to accept Chongzheng Tongbao, forget it, take your time, and only use Chongzheng Tongbao for change. Tongbao is completely feasible, so it may have some impact on the business of Daming Royal Xinglong Company in the short term, but it will be fine when everyone gets used to it."
