19. Possess cash and think elsewhere
Throughout the late autumn and early winter, Li Jing and Hong Jing came to the well and ransacked their homes in a tacit understanding. As long as one party had already done it, the other party would quickly go to the next village. Anyway, King Li's palaces, villages and fields are all over the world, everyone.
There is no way to deal with it all at once, there are many problems.
Originally, there was still some sense of competition. After the two teams inside copied a lot of money, they no longer cared about the hostility to each other. It was more serious to rush to the next house. One by one, they drove the ox cart and carried the big and small bags.
He carried a large amount of stolen property on a carrying pole and sent it to Hanyang to enrich the treasury.
Of course, some stewards heard the news and ran away with the money. Unfortunately, they ran away with the cash. The target was huge and the money was heavy. They ran away with the cashed bills. Sorry, Laishang, Wanshang, and Songshang are the three major invoicing companies.
The business group was all invited by Hong Jinglai to stay in Hanyang. There would be no one to issue invoices to you, and even if you opened the invoices, you would not be able to get the money back.
Just so arrogant!
By the way, although these stewards live well in the countryside, in fact, they are still the private servants of King Li in terms of household registration status. Now that they have all been ruined, as King Li's servants, they can continue to go to the official hall in Hanyang, or
It is also normal to be an official slave in the prison camp of Badao.
In vain, tens of thousands of new men and women have been added to the labor force of various government offices. We, Hong Jinglai and Li Li, are both generous people, but they have never put those women into the Jiaofang Division and thrown them all into the government-run technical institutes.
.Otherwise, the arrival of so many new products at once might have boosted the sales of government-run technical institutes.
Cui Zhengji, who was originally sad that he had lost the task of storing canals this autumn and was not making any money, is now working hard, not to mention going to the house to unveil the tiles for others. The palace stewards and their families are almost
Digging three feet into the ground, or ransacking homes would be addictive. Even if the money is not your own, the pleasure of having thousands of silver, copper coins, or even gold in your hands is quite exciting.
What's more, how could Cui Zhengji not get the hard-earned money from two Hong Jingrai's acquiescence!
Councilor Hu Cao, who knows accounts well and is good at financial management, is now reimbursing Hong Jinglai. Except for the part that has not yet been sent, the money that has been paid to Hanyang is now 1.7 million, and this is all calculated
The amount after silver is not the special currency system in North Korea where two hundred or so coins count as one tael.
With such money, not only will next year's fiscal budget be greatly abundant, many industrial renewal plans that have been put on hold can also be put on the agenda, and construction can even begin directly.
Perhaps this can be regarded as the first five-year plan of Yumyeong Korea!
After thinking about this, Hong Jinglai no longer sat in meditation, but asked Cui Zhengji to continue collecting the money obtained from ransacking houses everywhere, while he went home to think about how to use this sudden windfall.
The Incheon Textile Institute that was previously established to expand trade with the Qing Dynasty, the Gyeongin Railway built to change the singleness of Han River water transportation, and the recently started preparations for the Gapsan Copper Mine can actually be regarded as Hong Jinglai's efforts to promote North Korea.
The country of feudal hermits is moving towards modernization, and the direction of its efforts.
Now that there is a large amount of cash and newly opened copper mines, can we start to rectify and reconstruct the currency system?
But this involves another issue, whether the three major business groups that issued the bill will feel that their interests have been harmed because of this. After all, when there was not enough currency in the past, large transactions, and many small and medium-sized enterprises
All cash transactions are carried out by relying on the exchange notes issued by these business groups.
Moreover, exchanging various miscellaneous silver and copper coins is another source of income. There is no interest in helping others store silver coins in this era, and there is also a storage fee. It comes and goes because North Korea does not have sufficient currency and directly sells it in the market.
Due to the relatively uneven distribution of the general equivalent of silver in circulation and other reasons, various business groups, including the former Beijing business group, became rich and made money.
Once large-scale copper coins are minted and put into the market at a rate of 500,000 to 700,000 coins per year, within a few years, the market will have a relatively sufficient supply of general currency.
Then there is the problem of silver. The silver content of miscellaneous silver is different, and the weight is messy. In actual use, there is no way to use it directly. It needs to be re-weighed and calculated every time it is used to calculate the actual value.
It is a waste of time to estimate the silver content and value.
This is also the reason why large-value transactions always use exchange bills. In addition to the heavy weight of silver, it is also because miscellaneous silver is difficult to measure. In fact, the entire market has been looking forward to a kind of silver with a constant value, but the Hanyang court itself cannot grasp it.
With so much cash, it was never possible to push this matter forward.
Now the situation has changed considerably. Because the world is at peace and everything is safe at home, the export volume of North Korean ginseng remains high and is increasing day by day. This alone can directly bring more than three million taels of cash to North Korea every year.
Of the income, two million taels would be used to purchase various materials produced by the Qing Dynasty in the following year and returned to the Qing Dynasty. However, more than one million taels of cash remained in the North Korean market.
The large amount of silver that could be recovered from this raid was also due to the large inflow of silver from the Qing Dynasty. This also allowed the Hanyang court to gradually begin to acquire a large amount of cash, and had the capital to recast miscellaneous silver and push it into the market.
Theoretically speaking, it is not that Hong Jinglai is considering the matter of minting currency, but that the entire market and the court actually have the consensus and demand to reform currency and implement new currencies. However, the previous conditions were not mature, and the ruling prime ministers acted in a I don’t want to get involved in the thinking that doing more is worse than doing less.
After all, there are many precedents in the past dynasties. Once the court mints new money, if it is not as perfect as the old money, or if it mints something worth five to ten coins, it will definitely be infamy for thousands of years and be scolded by the whole country.
Not only that, it may also cause chaos in the market. Because of the blockage of information channels, people will engage in looting or even vandalism. If Hanyang is in chaos, Hong Jinglai will have to take responsibility even if he does not want to take responsibility. Maybe the royalists will take this opportunity to
It is not impossible to write a crazy letter to force Hong Jinglai to resign.
After roughly thinking about an idea, Hong Jinglai scribbled down a plan. But we are not going to reveal this matter for the time being. The previous method of minting coins not only caused considerable losses, but also had a relatively high cost. Now it has been
It's a new era. North Korea has craftsmen who can make steam engines and North Korean students who have learned Western science and technology. They can use more advanced methods to mint currency.
