Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"One hundred thousand people, if the reward is too little, it's meaningless, but if the reward is too much, we can't afford it. Let's assume that each person is five strings of cash, which is five hundred thousand strings of cash."

The first thing Xu considered was money.

"There are many soldiers, and their annual gifts cannot be more than those of our palace's guards. Two strings of cash per person is enough. I calculated that about 400,000 strings of cash would be enough. This..."

Zhang Xin also roughly calculated this number.

The Prince of Yan’s Palace can fully afford it.

"With so many people using treasure notes to buy things, how many things do merchants have to sell? There are only a dozen days left. If we spend hundreds of thousands of treasure notes, will the value of the goods drop?"

Xu asked again.

"It doesn't have to be used before the New Year. Can we distribute it in batches? There are festivals before the New Year, Lantern Festival after the New Year, and Qingming Festival after that. As long as everyone gets a share, the soldiers won't be in a hurry. If there is an emergency, colleagues can give it to each other."

Zhang Xin answered.

"That's also feasible. If we buy and sell in batches, the merchants won't run out of goods to sell."

Xu nodded in approval.

"As for the depreciation, our palace has to guarantee it. All the treasure notes awarded by our Yanwang Palace can be exchanged for the same things as this time at any time. If the merchants lose money, our palace will make up for the shortfall."

Zhang Xin had considered this a long time ago.

Having a deficit is just the worst-case scenario.

In fact, the treasure notes with the seal are no longer ordinary treasure notes.

After this incident, the most likely possibility is that Shangzhang Baochao will become the only currency that preserves value in Yan area.

"Let me think about it."

Xu pondered for a while and began to grind the ink herself.

"Ok."

Zhang Xin sat steadily, watching the ink stick in Xu's hand swirling in circles in the inkstone. The rhythm of each circle was neither fast nor slow. The original clear water became thicker little by little until it was completely absorbed by the wolf hair brush.

It turned into a big word on the desk.

Quiet.

From the time Xu started grinding the ink to the time he finished writing the character, the time was neither long nor short.

When the wolf-hair brush was put down, Xu had made a decision:

"I think it's feasible. I'll discuss it with your father tonight. If it's feasible, Bixi will go to Yande Palace."

"Yes, mother."

Zhang Xin responded promptly.

It's done!

In the so-called discussions between the mother-in-law and the father-in-law, as long as the mother-in-law made a decision, the father-in-law never refuted.

~~~~

"Mua——Son! Mom is so happy today——"

"Mua - son, you will have a lot of money to spend in the future -"

"Mua--son, when can you speak?"

"Mua——this little meat——"

After Zhang Xin returned to Yande Palace in an extremely happy mood, Zhu Zhanji, who was unable to resist, was kissed dozens of times by Zhang Xin and was scolded dozens of times. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

“Wow, wow, wow—”

"Prince Princess!"

Wu Shanggong rushed into the room and glared at Zhang Xin.

"I was wrong!"

Zhang Xin admitted her mistake very sincerely and handed her still struggling son over.

After picking up her son, Wu Shanggong immediately changed her expression and began to coax him in the most gentle way:

"Little Master, let's go out and look at the flowers. We don't want to play with your mother—your mother is so mean!"

Zhang Xin black line——

My goodness, it feels a bit frustrating to have done something great but have no one to share it with.

She somewhat understood Zhu Gaochi's speechless attitude when talking to her in his previous life.

After waiting for a long time until Zhu Gaochi came back in the evening, Zhang Xin, who was eager to share the story, recounted it to Zhu Gaochi, the only person who could understand it.

"Hey, why do I feel like this treasure banknote can still be used?"

At first, Zhu Gaochi was just discussing with Zhang Xin what he had done that day, but as he listened, he became a little shocked.

It was like an unexpected success.

Regardless of whether Zhang Xin did it intentionally or unintentionally, he did it. If the precious banknotes stamped with the reward seal of Prince Yan's Palace could maintain their value in Yan, Zhu Gaochi intuitively felt that the entire Yan area would be as solid as a rock.

"Ah, what do you mean? I just want to spend the banknotes before they lose value, so that everyone can have a good New Year."

Zhang Xin played dumb.

"This is not just about spending money. Let me think about it. This is not just about how to use the treasure notes."

Zhu Gaochi was a little excited for a moment, and stood up and walked around the room.

Zhang Xin has also shared this before, and now she took her son’s small clothes next to her and continued doing it.

Zhu Gaochi was still young and inexperienced after all.

I didn't understand what Zhang Xin wanted to do from the beginning, but I'm not slow to react now.

From the very beginning, Zhang Xin’s idea was to raise the price of Baochao.

She didn't understand it very well before, but she knew the result: the more banknotes there were, the less valuable they would be.

The last time Zhu Gaochi taught her a lesson, she had a big plan in her mind.

It just so happened that Xu gave her the account books of the palace and asked her to be the housekeeper.

After getting the account book, she had an idea of ​​how much money there was in the palace.

Although it is not as rich as the treasury of the entire imperial court, there is still a lot of silver in the palace storehouse.

This amount of money can be used as the principal for issuing the treasure notes mentioned by Zhu Gaochi last time.

The current treasure notes are not issued by the royal palace.

Due to the constraints of the imperial court and the emperor's grandfather, it was impossible for the royal palace to issue treasure notes on its own.

But it is not a problem at all to make some changes to the original treasure note and turn it into a unique treasure note of Prince Yan's Palace.

Zhang Xin didn't dare to take a big step, so she chose the palace guards to give it a try.

The merchants in the city of Peking responded immediately.

In her previous life, she felt that when it came to sensitivity to money, a hundred civil servants in the court could not compare to a small boss who owned a few shops.

Even the Minister of Revenue may not be smarter than the big businessmen.

During the Xuande reign, Xia Yuanji only mentioned the Baochao issue once, asking for the replacement of the banknote version.

I wonder if he didn't expect that the treasure notes would become so worthless later on.

Or maybe he has no way to reverse the trend, so he simply doesn't say anything.

About this matter of Baochao.

As soon as Zhan Ji fell, by the time Zhang Xin helped his grandson to ascend to the throne, it was already too late to save the situation.

But right now, it's really not that bad.

There is a lot of potential.
