My Daming New Empire

To give a very simple example, the banks of later generations had their own communication networks, and depositing money in Asia could be exchanged in the Americas.

But now?Not to mention Asia and America.Even Yingtian Mansion and Yangzhou, without a day's time, the news could not be spread, let alone from Yingtian Mansion to farther places.

Therefore, universal deposits and withdrawals are simply impossible for today's banks.

Today's banks, the only thing they can do is to issue gold and silver bills and make withdrawals in different places.

To achieve this, in addition to solving technical problems, there is also the issue of establishing a reputation recognized by the people.

However, these seem difficult, but they are not difficult for Zhu Zhanji to solve.

First of all, it is to establish an independent system from papermaking to printing.From paper anti-counterfeiting to printing anti-counterfeiting, banks must control every link of gold and silver tickets to print gold and silver tickets that cannot be copied.

As long as the gold and silver bills are not issued indiscriminately, issued according to the reserve funds, and the gold and silver bills are not allowed to depreciate, credit can be established over time.

Therefore, the gold and silver brought back by Zhu Zhanji from Japan is very important, because it is the basis for establishing credit.

Zhu Zhanji also has another advantage that no one can match, that is, he is the heir to the empire, and he can let the government and internal supervisors cooperate with the bank's development plan without any worries.

In his plan, the bank managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the entire country's official salaries, war funds, government appropriations, and infrastructure construction operations.

In the future, the operation will be normal, and it can also undertake the work of issuing national bonds and cashing out deficits.

When a country's government's economic operations can be regulated through the bank, the bank is considered successful.

And the bank undertook by the internal supervisor is responsible for the business operations of the world.

Because now Ming's business and tariffs are all controlled by internal supervision.As long as they take the lead, those businessmen who want to do business with the internal supervisor must operate through the bank, so they are not afraid that those businessmen will not deposit their money in the bank.

Since it is responsible for commercial operations, private deposits and loans are of course also operated through this bank.

As long as the merchants' money enters the bank, the common people will gradually accept the idea of ​​depositing money in the bank.

However, today's silver shops still need to pay storage fees for depositing money. It is generally unacceptable for ministers to accept that depositing money in banks requires interest.

During the time in Tangchi Hot Spring, from Hubu Minister Xia Yuanji to Hubu Minister, Hubu Langzhong, and then to the Twelve Supervisors of the Internal Supervision, the eunuchs at all levels of the Fourth Division and the Eighth Bureau, every morning, they will take turns to accept Zhu. Zhanji's theoretical training.

In the afternoon, Zhu Zhanji will not handle official business, he wants to accompany his concubines.

At the beginning of September, when Zhu Zhanji was about to return to Yingtian Mansion, Ji Gang came to say goodbye.

In the past, Ji Gang could be said to be the target of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty, but now Ji Gang is the target of thousands of people.

As a treacherous minister and executioner, he was able to become the first feudal earl of Ming Dynasty.This allowed him to add a large number of jealous groups in addition to the original enemy group.

Although it is in Dongying, it is a real fiefdom!

This kind of treatment even far exceeds that of the princes of Ming Dynasty, because even the princes have no right to dispose of the people under their rule.

So when he came back to Daming, he was under a lot of pressure and didn't dare to go out at all.

It only took half a month for him to deal with the property in the capital and prepare to take his family to Japan.

Originally, he wanted to make contact with the planned arms trade and human trade, but now he can't even leave the door, and no one wants to talk to him.

So he was going to leave the capital first, go to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then go directly to Dongying from Shandong.

He came to bid farewell to Zhu Zhanji and asked about the follow-up arrangements, and he also came to introduce another general under his command, Yuan Jiang, to Zhu Zhanji.

After Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying left his side, Ji Gang has realized Zhu Zhanji's ability to win people's hearts.

Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying were tied to death on the same boat with him, but now they have become Zhu Zhanji's minions.But Ji Gang didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to hate Zhu Zhanji because of it. Everything he has now can be said to be given by Zhu Zhanji.

Yuan Jiang is another loyal confidant of him in Jinyiwei. Like Zhuang Jing, he is the commander of the fourth rank.However, this person's ability is not in the detection and handling of cases, but in handling government affairs.So not only is he not as famous as Zhuang Jing, but even Pang Ying's notoriety is higher than him.

He can be said to be Ji Gang's most important subordinate at present. Because of the change of status, Ji Gang now does not need too many subordinates who can fight and kill, but more importantly, he needs subordinates with the ability to handle affairs.

Among the subordinates who can fight and kill, even if Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying are gone, he still has Qianhu Wang Qian, Li Chun and others.But there is only one subordinate who can handle administrative affairs, Yuan Jiang.

Now Yuan Jiang's family members are going to Dongying with him, and only then did he dare to let Yuan Jiang appear in front of Zhu Zhanji.

But in fact, he is a little paranoid. Although Zhu Zhanji's current subordinates don't have many talents, it's because he hasn't fully developed his own power.

Otherwise, in the name of his grandson, there is no one who wants what kind of talent!

"To go to Japan, the first thing is to cooperate with the navy to control the situation in Japan. Although I, Ming, will not directly intervene in the affairs of Japan, from now on, I will never let Japan out of Ming's control. Although I have recalled the young army scouts, Jin Yiwei There are still hundreds of spies and thousands of Dongpu insiders all over Dongpu. Shi Jianbo will focus on this matter in the future, and he can directly contact Yi Xin and Yang Zhangde in the future."

Ji Gang didn't have time to lament that a small general banner three years ago, because of his relationship with Zhu Zhanji, became the commander of Jinyiwei.Immediately stated: "I must live up to my trust."

"Don't worry about firearms. Even if you sell Dongying firearms, you have to wait until our Daming firearms are equipped with more than one million. Now that the processing capacity of Jiajiang Industrial Zone has greatly increased, you can sell firearms to Dongying within a year at most."

In the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, due to the limited number of machine tools and skilled workers, no more than [-] gun barrels could be produced a day at first.However, over the past year, the number of skilled workers and the number of machine tools have increased greatly, and now four to five thousand qualified products can be processed a day.

The power of industry has already demonstrated its enormous power. Even Zhu Di is amazed at the speed of development of muskets today.

However, gunpowder has become the biggest bottleneck in the development of Daming firearms today. Before new saltpeter mines are found, it is far from enough to consume the Ming army by scraping soil from toilets in various places.

Ji Gang nodded and said: "I have reached an agreement with many famous lords and generals. The channel of providing labor and maids to Daming will be stabilized soon. I don't know what your Highness will order."

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "These are trivial matters, so don't report them to me. My Ming Dynasty needs labor, and more importantly, I need vanguards to calm down the barbarians. The Japanese are disabled and loyal to military orders. They are rare good soldiers. If they can train a I will pay a lot of money to hire such an army."

Ji Gang quickly said: "How dare I do business with Your Highness..."

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "If you do business, you can do this for a long time. No matter how expensive it is to hire Japanese people, it's not as expensive as my own training of soldiers! What's more, these people are all regarded as scapegoats, and they are used as business. , My Ming Dynasty can also save a lot of pensions. From now on, when recruiting Japanese vanguards, whether it is salary or pensions, I will pay [-]% of the money of my soldiers in Ming Dynasty. As for how much you pay, I don’t care.”

Finally, the two talked about the management of Iwami Ginzan.This silver mountain is to be handed over to the internal supervisor for development, even if Ji Gang, as Shi Jianbo, can get some annuity at most every year, and he also has to help Zhu Zhanji supervise the development of the internal supervisor, so as not to let people fill their pockets.

In addition, the management of the local Japanese miners must also be handed over to Ji Gang.

As for the amount of money to be paid to Ji Gang every year, it is difficult to determine now when Yinshan has not yet been developed.

According to Zhu Zhanji, it is definitely best to set a ratio according to the annual silver production.

So try to develop in the first few months of this year, and then determine the quota next year.

After seeing off Ji Gang, Zhu Zhanji had someone call in Hou Xian who was waiting to meet him.

When Zhu Zhanji was preparing for the Eastern Expedition last year, Hou Xian, as an envoy, led the boat division alone to the countries of Gela.Bang Geci was probably in Bangladesh in later generations, and his envoy was warmly welcomed by the local upper class, authority figures and kings.

Because he was only escorting the envoys back to the country and opened up a passage to Tibet with the local Buddhists, he returned to China in less than a year.

Before Zhu Zhanji returned triumphantly, he had just returned to Beijing.And brought back local specialty tigers and giant pythons, adding two more special animals to Yingtianfu's zoo.

In front of the globe, Zhu Zhanji listened to him report in detail the process of the mission, and inquired in detail about the situation of various countries in India.

In today's Indian continent, the north has almost been occupied by the Said dynasty appointed by Timur, occupying most of northern India.

But in the southern part of India, there are still dozens of big countries and hundreds of small countries. They conquer each other, but unite with each other to deal with the threat of the Said Dynasty in the north.
