ps: I have returned to my hometown in the countryside and stabilized, and the insomnia problem after I got home has disappeared. ●⌒Small,...o The countryside is quieter and there are no troubles. I can concentrate on typing for everyone. Today I will start to update.&1t;/p>

The capital, the center of the Ming Dynasty's power, was not at ease this summer. First, the Donglin Party's corruption gangster Li Sancai was arrested, and then Li Sancai died suddenly in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.&1t;/p>

Li Sancai's sudden death caused many rumors in the market.&1t;/p>

In the court, Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the issue and no longer agreed to detain corrupt officials in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. In the future, it would be impossible for the Donglin Party to catch people from the Labor Reform Bureau to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.&1t;/p>

And in the recently established mint, it was a busy and busy scene.&1t;/p>

The silver from a furnace is melted into silver water, and the other metals are separated out, and 10% of copper water is mixed, and then poured on the mold.&1t;/p>

As the workers were busy, silver dollars were cast.&1t;/p>

This is especially true for copper coins. Copper water is added to the copper water. Each copper coin contains 85% copper, and each coin weighs one or two cents.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao has been very concerned about the mint recently, which is related to the huge fiscal revenue.&1t;/p>

Now that all provincial money bureaus across the country have been revoked by Zhu Youxiao’s order, the right to mint has been completely revoked. Naturally, the Royal Mint cannot smash its sign.&1t;/p>

Early that morning, Zhu Youxiao took the imperial carriage out of the city and came to the Mint Bureau.&1t;/p>

Looking at the pieces of minted silver dollars, copper coins, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look happy on his face. He picked up a silver dollar and blew it hard on his mouth, and then divided it into his ear to listen. He looked at the style of the silver dollars carefully, which made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied. The silver dollars he designed were quite beautiful.&1t;/p>

In terms of copper coins, Taichang Tongbao is still cast. After all, it has been less than a year since the cheap father passed away, so the pouring of Taichang Tongbao is still unaware of.&1t;/p>

Wait until next year, let’s cast the Apocalypse Tongbao!&1t;/p>

Taichang Tongbao is a large-character copper coin with very clear words. Zhu Youxiao held it in his hand and weighed it. Yang Guorui, who accompanied the emperor to inspect the mint, said: "Your Majesty, the coins minted in our mint are definitely of high quality."&1t;/p>

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned to Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was guarding him out of the palace, and ordered: "Tian Aiqing, please let the Jinyiwei investigate the minting of coins across the country immediately and try to catch all the phenomenon of privately casting copper coins as much as possible."&1t;/p>

"I obey the order." Tian Ergeng accepted the order and then said: "Your Majesty, this privately casting copper coins is a death sentence, but some people still take risks. In my opinion, the Jinyiwei investigated and asked the people to report it. Moreover, even if the accomplice reported it, they would be given generous rewards and would be exempted from the crime."&1t;/p>

"Accurate." Zhu Youxiao nodded. It is obviously the most effective to dismantle criminals from within. Just like the drug control in later generations, those drug dealers are often sold by internal members.&1t;/p>

After all, it is impossible to do it alone in private casting of copper coins. Under the severe crackdown of the court, everyone will be upset and wonder if they will be chopped off their heads by the court. Since this is the case, it is better to report their accomplices, which will not only be exempted from punishment, but also receive a generous reward.&1t;/p>

Even if you don’t have this mind, you will doubt whether others have this mind. Over time, you will be suspicious of each other. Once suspicion arises, it often means that you will no longer unite, and it is very likely that someone will go out to report it.&1t;/p>

Even if you seal the person up and cast it privately, there is no way. Someone must transport the copper coins for distribution! Someone must take over this batch of copper coins?&1t;/p>

There are more people involved, and as long as one link makes mistakes, these criminals will be hit.&1t;/p>

Next is the question of bank dollars. Can this thing be accepted by the people? So Zhu Youxiao decided to try it first.&1t;/p>

That is, in a non-compulsory manner, we recommend the use of silver dollars and copper dollars to bank depositors.&1t;/p>

With the first batch of coins minted, the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty soon launched silver dollars and copper dollars. When depositors withdraw money, the banks would recommend them to withdraw silver dollars and copper dollars. And with the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty as a guarantee, as long as the silver dollars and copper dollars are obtained from the bank, they can be exchanged for silver.&1t;/p>

This kind of silver dollar is still a relatively new thing in the north. Silver dollar has already flowed in coastal areas such as the south, but the silver dollar for this matter is limited to the scope of collection and has not yet entered the large-scale commercial circulation link.&1t;/p>

Soon some depositors found that silver dollars and copper dollars were extremely convenient to use. First, the color was exactly the same, and the weight was not different.&1t;/p>

In the era when silver dollars were not available, the quality and weighing of silver were quite troublesome. Ordinary people took silver to buy things, and when they were delivered, they were not only troublesome, but also did not understand these things, and they were also easily deceived.&1t;/p>

But it is different if you use the Royal Bank's silver dollars. Not only do you have to worry about being cheated, but it is also very convenient to deliver. Just count the quantity of silver dollars, and you don't have to consider the quality and weight at all. How do ordinary people trade normally?&1t;/p>

In daily life, ordinary people do not need to use silver directly. After all, a pound of pork costs only more than ten cents, so ordinary people will first take the silver to the bank and exchange it for copper coins, and then go to the street to buy things.&1t;/p>

For transactions with huge amounts, they will eat money bank notes. What is really troublesome is the trading activities of a few taels and a dozen taels of silver.&1t;/p>

Another thing is that these silver dollars can also be exchanged for silver at Royal Bank of China. This means that no matter how good the silver dollars are, the value of the currency will not be affected. The same is true for paper money. After all, paper money is not a precious metal, but through national credit, paper money can be purchased.&1t;/p>

These silver dollars are just nine silver and one copper, and sometimes they are better than many silvers.&1t;/p>

The Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty approved the preparation of one million silver dollars, but in less than two days it was exchanged by the people and merchants. Many ordinary people and merchants used a bunch of silver to exchange for silver dollars, and the popularity can be imagined.&1t;/p>

On the streets of the capital, many merchants and people who traded silver dollars and copper dollars soon appeared. What satisfied the people and merchants even more was that the link between silver dollars and copper dollars of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty and copper coins was very easy to calculate.&1t;/p>

One silver dollar is equal to five hundred cents, a large copper dollar is equal to ten cents, and a small copper dollar is equal to five cents.&1t;/p>

After the first batch of fast-moving silver dollars went out, it was obviously far from meeting the needs of merchants and the people. There were still many business people going to the bank to exchange money every day.&1t;/p>

Some people have to exchange copper coins for silver dollars, while others have to exchange silver for copper coins, silver dollars.&1t;/p>

Especially those who do small businesses have come to the bank to exchange for a lot of copper coins and copper coins. Because since the bank bank, some people have directly taken the silver to their stall to buy things. Some people have bought a two- or three cent-money pancake directly with silver coins. They don’t have enough copper coins and can’t find them. Some have too many copper coins and have a lot of copper coins in their hands, so they have to change to an integer.&1t;/p>

But the silver dollar is gone for the time being, they can only exchange it for silver.&1t;/p>

As a result, it had a bit of a "hunger marketing" effect. A few days later, the Royal Mint minted a batch of silver dollars. As a result, the Royal Bank was sold out by merchants and people.&1t;/p>

What makes the people and businesses even more happy is that old copper coins can be exchanged for new copper coins in the bank. The copper coins poured by the Royal Bank this time are all made of materials and the quality is also excellent. The characters on the copper coins are also large, and the quality is very good. However, not every emperor poured the copper coins after he took office. Many weights and colors are different, which leads to many unpopularity in trading.&1t;/p>

But now, as long as you take those inferior copper coins to the bank, you will exchange them 1:1. Unless it is a copper coins that have been scraped by someone, scraping copper is a very common criminal method and is relatively hidden. Some copper coins are unreasonable because of the unreasonable text and border design. People who scrape copper can scrape a lot in a day, which is profitable. For those fine-poured copper coins, scraping copper is more difficult. It is not enough to make a living in a day, so few people will scrape copper.&1t;/p>

The currency exchange points of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty are undoubtedly the busiest. They need to count copper coins, strengthen the quality of the silver, weigh and so on.&1t;/p>

However, labor costs are secondary, and are still not worth mentioning compared to the profit of coin minting.&1t;/p>

Among these activities, perhaps only the old copper coins will be replaced with new copper coins. After the old copper coins are recycled, they will be used to melt and pour new copper coins, which will naturally cause some losses. After all, labor costs are required, and the copper content of the old copper coins must be at a disadvantage.&1t;/p>

However, in order to unify the money market, this is also a must. Moreover, if you lose more than one ding, you can still afford it.&1t;/p>

Because the supply of copper materials in the mint is still unstable, it is currently mainly based on purchasing copper materials from private mines, so the copper coins poured every day are limited. As soon as the Royal Bank opened, people lined up outside to exchange them early, and there was no more when they went late.&1t;/p>

The popularity of silver dollars and copper dollars was beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectations, and he did not expect it to be so smooth.&1t;/p>

Tian Ergeng, who was responsible for cracking down on privately cast copper coins, just the second day after the reporting system was launched, a businessman from Tongzhou came to report.&1t;/p>

But this Tongzhou businessman was not reporting the money minting, but the Tongzhou businessman was preparing to join forces with Shanxi merchants to conduct a run on the Royal Bank.&1t;/p>

After Tian Ergeng knew about it, he knew the seriousness of the problem and hurried to the palace to report to the emperor.&1t;/>&1t;/p>
