Especially compulsory exchange settlement.

At present, Ming Dynasty's overseas trade must use treasure banknotes, which means compulsory foreign exchange settlement. Overseas merchants who come to Ming Dynasty must use treasure banknotes no matter what business they do. Even if they bring gold and silver, they have to go to the bank to exchange treasure banknotes for trade. Otherwise, once

If you are caught using gold and silver trade without permission, no one will be beheaded. Reporting is also encouraged. Once reported and caught, the reporter will get all his property. Therefore, there have always been fishermen in several trading ports along the coast, including several overseas in recent years.

The businessman was brutally murdered. This was too unfriendly to the gentry. No matter how big their business was, they could only get treasure banknotes in the end. Although the currency value of the treasure banknotes is currently stable, they cannot be used as wealth heirlooms. Although the bank

It is true that free exchange is allowed, but exchanging large amounts of treasure banknotes is still courting death.

If you exchange it today, maybe tomorrow the Jin Yiwei will come to check you for treason.

As for you saying you are innocent...

Then the instruments of torture in the prison have the final say.

In fact, small amounts of gold and silver are freely convertible. The public reason is of course that the mint's output is limited.

Of course Yang Feng will not give out silver ingots. Currently, all the money flowing out of the bank is gold and silver coins, which are similar in style to copper coins, but in gold and silver.

Of course, the gentry is eager not to be harvested by this crazy monetary policy.

The Ming Dynasty spent huge amounts of money on military expeditions in the past years, but the treasure banknotes have always been stable. It was not through forced foreign exchange settlement that the gold and silver that should have fallen into their hands were turned into banks, and the banks guaranteed that Lao Zhu could

Throw out a lot of treasure money, and then create arms to reward the soldiers, allowing them to wear the latest armor and carry magical guns to expand the territory.

This is all the gold and silver of the gentry.

Well, they think this should all be their gold and silver.

Confucian scholars are not important.

In fact, they should have been pushed out by the gentry to be used as cannon fodder.

After all, someone has to rush ahead.

Zhu Yunxi reformed the imperial examination, and Confucian scholars suffered a heavy blow. Who would they not challenge?

So what the gentry want is actually to unlock the shackles Zhu Yuanzhang put on them, and then start to move towards the late Ming Dynasty in the original history, which is the so-called budding stage of capitalism. Not only economically, but also land,

Taxation, salt industry, etc. It can be said that they were dissatisfied with almost all the policies left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Land transaction restrictions.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that land was not limited to the capital. This did not mean that land was not allowed to be bought and sold across capitals, but that it was not allowed to be transferred to the name of a buyer in another capital. If the buyer wanted to buy, he must have an independent sub-household in the capital.

This is how land is restricted from being concentrated in the name of a single big landowner.

You can buy it.

But you are divided into households and fields.

There is also an open-center system.

Needless to say, the pain of the salt merchants.

…

I have to say that Lao Zhu was really unfriendly to the gentry.

The emperor's path is to continue his grandfather's path and carry out some reforms. This path was actually designed for him by Yang Feng. First, suppress land annexation to the maximum extent, control the financial industry through banks, firmly grasp currency rights, and safeguard treasure banknotes.

Stability. This prevents the monetary power from being controlled by the gentry. The original financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty in history was essentially a loss of monetary power. The treasure banknotes were in name only due to the depreciation. The influx of a large amount of overseas silver made silver become the main currency, and silver was all

It is in the hands of the gentry, and the gentry controls the country's currency power. To avoid this, the emperor must control the currency power, maintain the stability of treasure banknotes, and insist on the currency status of treasure banknotes. The basis for the stability of treasure banknotes is of course the bank's finance.

industrial monopoly rights and compulsory foreign exchange settlement.

With these two in hand, you will basically be financially invincible.

After all, you can print money and issue national debt.

As for the vassal king, he is still starting to reform the clan.

Or get money to live in an apartment in Beijing.

Either the family will give you a small piece of fiefdom in a remote area, but you have to choose one.

Three routes.

Classical feudalism, budding capitalism, big government control or to use another word.

"what would you do?"

Sister Liu said with great interest.

"Watch."

Yang Feng said.

"Watching? Aren't you afraid that they will fight?"

Sister Liu said.

"Nonsense, if they don't start fighting, how can I intervene? Just let them continue to make trouble. It's just begun now. How can I interrupt the fun when it has just begun? I have to watch them continue to make trouble. When it gets to the point where I need to take action, I will

Take action, after all, I am also ambitious, no, I should be an ideal person.

If they don't make a big fuss, how can I stand a chance?"
