But he is neither stupid nor stupid, whoever treats him well can feel it.

"Brother Hu is rare to praise me."

As the bear child spoke, his eye sockets turned red.

He straightened the military uniform on the bear boy with emotion, and said with a smile, "How old are you, you cry so much"

"I didn't cry, brother Hu is talking nonsense"

The bear boy straightened his neck and held his head up, his eyes were still a little red but tight.

"Don't cry, go back and make Fenjiu Roasted Pork for the prince, and match it with the polished rice that Qian Gong brought back from Yizhou."

"Yeah, Mr. Qian's Yizhou polished rice is delicious, and the roast meat needs more sauce, and Bengong wants to eat it with rice."

In the foundry, the jig has already been replaced with a casting mold for copper coins.

The engraving is the work of a master craftsman, and the ratio of copper to lead is all prepared and cast.

All the scrap copper from before was pulled over at this time, and slowly melted in the washed coke burning crucible.

After being injected into the mold, it is squeezed into cylinders one by one.

Then it was lifted and placed under the special water hammer, but the sound of "dangdangdang" water hammer was heard continuously.

Copper coins one by one quickly appeared in front of everyone, but Zhu Houzhao was very proud of seeing them.

"With the water hammer method, [-] coins can be made a day, including copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and the craftsmen began to change the molds.

The molds are all in one set, and the speed of casting is exactly the same when matched.

After a "dang dang dang" sound of water hammer hitting, all gold, silver and copper coins of various styles were minted.

"Wow, hahaha, with this money, I will see how they privately mint it in the future."

Zhu Houzhao, with his hips on his hips, wowed and laughed like a villain, and Zhang Xiaogong looked at the kid and stroked his forehead helplessly.

But he also had to admit that the brat was right this time, the cost of privately minting such an exquisite coin would be too high.

First of all, the mold is the biggest problem. Now almost all the best casting and smelting craftsmen in Ming Dynasty are in the Imperial Royal Foundry Department.

They want to recruit craftsmen and smelt suitable materials, and then the cost of carving out such a mold is extremely high.

It is not enough to have a mold, these coins are all hammered with water.

Where are they going to build a dam and make such a big hydraulic hammer to make coins for themselves

Even if it can be done, how much coin will be invested and how long will it take to get it back?

"I have calculated it. The fire consumption of casting in this way is reduced by [-]%, and a lot of materials for casting cannons can be recovered and used to make money again."

The bear child said, but his subordinates were not slow.

Picking up all the gold, silver and copper coins, Liu Jin who was next to him quickly took the exquisite sandalwood boxes one by one.

The box was covered with red silk, and the bear carefully put the coins into it.

There are also a lot of silver coins, which are bundled together with rough paper and pasted together.

After the wax seal, write the words "fifty pieces for one article", "fifty pieces for two articles" and so on according to the number.

Then put it in a small box, and then waved his hand and said, "Brother Hu, let me tell you about it when I meet my father."

"This palace is a headache for him and the cabinet departments, and it has been solved, hahahaha"

Young Master Zhang smiled and patted the brat on the shoulder, and said softly.

"It's only half of the solution, and the other half has to be the promotion of this coin. Only by promoting it can it be considered a complete solution."

As soon as he said this, the bear child's laughter stopped abruptly.

"But it's okay, I will issue a charter to His Highness later on."

Seeing Zhang Xiaogong blinking at the pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms, he said softly, "Don't forget, we now have three empires who will always be in our hands."

.

Chapter 482 Xiongwa casts money to relieve the emperor's worries, and also builds a new department

As for how to issue it, Mr. Zhang naturally had his own plans.

Why do you want to reorganize the goods and farming associations? They are still set up in various provinces to reconcile those disharmonious ones.

There is a reason for the unified management of those who are already harmonious.

On the one hand, this can strengthen the management of the empire and the chief ministers extending to the lower levels, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to the promotion of the state ministers.

For example, the promotion of this coin now requires the assistance of the following general association of goods and breeding.

There are three general halls in Beijing, Qianzhou, and northern Guangdong that are promoting it, and it will gradually spread by then.

Naturally, the old copper coins will be replaced and all new coins will be replaced.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongzhi and the chief ministers of the cabinet were amazed.

In fact, they are also very troubled by the private casting of copper coins, but this involves all aspects.

Moreover, the empire's casting of money is often a loss-making behavior, and it is almost a loss of one batch.

No matter how it is cast, it is not enough, what is even worse is the current situation of Daming.

Because the Ming Dynasty was strong enough, it was the neighboring countries, and the common currency was all Daming copper coins.

This made the copper coins that were not enough in Daming itself have to be responsible for the transactions of neighboring countries.

Ordinarily, this is a good thing, but the money is not enough, private casting is prosperous, and taxes cannot be collected, which will kill the family.

All the officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, from the Chief Envoy to the Cabinet, have no idea of ​​the size of the Ming Dynasty's economy.

At most, they think that Daming is great, that Daming is really great, and that Daming is so awesome.

However, how big is the entire economy of Ming Dynasty?

They don't have the concept

"How does the prince plan to promote this new currency?"

The cabinet, including Emperor Hongzhi, and the big bosses of various ministries had an idea of ​​the new currency after listening to the speech made by the bear jumping up and down.

This is [-]% less fire consumption than before, and other people cannot mint it privately.

It's all said and done, what else do they have to say?

"In terms of promotion, it is naturally not a problem"

With the guidance of Mr. Zhang, the bear child is full of confidence at the moment.

"One first established the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire, which specializes in recycling old coins, counting and minting new coins and issuing them"

Then the bear boy said with a smile, "The general halls of the various provinces are responsible for the agency of recycling old coins and exchanging new coins."

"The exchange of transactions is carried out by them, and the recovered old coins can be recast into new coins except for a part of the cannon"

Xiongzi's meaning is very simple, that is, the casting right must belong to the "Royal Bank of the Ming Empire".

However, the distribution and promotion can be carried out through the following commodity production general halls, and the commodity value general halls in three provinces are promoting.

Especially in the northern part of Guangdong, their current business is not bad.

It will be no problem for them to advocate directly through their channels.

As for them daring to play tricks and not working hard, it’s okay, the empire still lacks a lot of people to build roads.

At the same time, the Ministry of Households will also start calculations. In the future, the taxes paid by the provinces can be deducted with new currency and grain.

This will greatly increase the promotional power of the new currency, while Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said that the treasure banknote would be gradually abolished.

Of course, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight if we take a long-term plan.

Although the internal treasury and the royal family are mainly responsible, Zhong Zhong from the household department strongly demands that the household department also need to be stationed and registered.

Emperor Hongzhi did not object to this point, and then the courtiers began to discuss matters after the admission of this subject.

It is mainly about the question raised by Zhang Xiaogong, that each department has its own department to recruit students.

The most active ones on this matter are the Department of Law and the Department of Education and Education. After all, they are newly established departments.

Originally, there were not many people under him, and it became even more insufficient to send people to the chief envoy below.

Isn't that the case with Zhong Zhong from Hubu?

Seeing that there are only three or two kittens in the department, people have to be sent to the three chief envoys to take over the government affairs of the household department.

Although it can be said that the control of the Ministry of Households has been strengthened, which is a good thing.

But the lack of manpower is terrible, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaogong who smashed out a batch of money and materials with a hammer and a Western medicine stick.

The old man must have the heart to jump the Chaobai River now.

Bai Ang Laobai is not much better, the Ministry of Punishment originally had such virtuous staff.

Although there are not as many people involved in the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time, there are still a small circle of people involved.

Although it is said that each department has to open a course examination to recruit candidates, but they can't all be admitted in a swarm.

So after arguing for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi and the ministries agreed

First, the topic will be given by the ministers of each ministry for [-] questions, and the cabinet will take five questions.

The servants each offer fifteen ways and take three ways.

The final collection was in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi, and the selected questions would be printed and distributed before the exam.

This greatly avoids the problem of leaking questions, and will also focus on writing questions according to the needs of each department.

Second, in order to prevent candidates from applying for multiple exams, multiple exams, and multiple reports, resulting in the admission of multiple departments, they all start on the same day.

Don't think about taking several departments together, only one department.

According to the household registration of the road guide, after registration, you can get a sign as a proof of taking the scientific examination in the capital.

However, Lu Yin must take it back, so as to avoid one person reporting more than one person.

After the test, you can use the brand to change the circuit guide, which is convenient to go home

A few days after the imperial meeting in the imperial study room started, a "Daming Empire Royal Bank" was quietly listed in Chaobaihefang City.

The "Jingshi Cargo Breeding General Hall" began to announce to member merchants that the empire will soon promote new coins.

Then he showed those new coins to these merchants, and said that the old coins would be gradually abolished.

Everyone's old coins should be handed over to the general association in time, and the general association will negotiate with the "Imperial Royal Bank" for new coins.

The leaders and bigwigs of the general hall all expressed that they would exchange all the gold, silver and old coins at home for new coins.

But this still couldn't suppress the anxiety of small merchants, until the British government's Mr. Zhang Xiaogong set an example.

As Zhang Xiaogong's number one dog leg, Housekeeper Xiao Zhou held his head high and first gave the Zhang family more than 20 taels of gold and [-] taels of silver.

There were hundreds of thousands of copper coins, and they all went to the "Da Ming Empire Royal Bank" to exchange them for new coins in public.

This immediately dispelled the worries of everyone in the capital, just kidding

The living God of Wealth has done this, which shows that this thing is definitely feasible and can make money

Everyone is still hesitating. Hurry up and replace it.

In case they can't be replaced at that time, those old coins will be completely useless if they fall into their own hands.

Immediately, all the merchants in the capital were full of enthusiasm and devoted themselves to the movement of new currency replacement.

And the brat who was in charge of this matter was immediately happy to see his teeth but not his eyes, and urged the minting department to mint coins as soon as possible every day.

Otherwise, it won't be available
