Chapter 557 Coinage(2/2)

"emperor."

Fu Tao was already waiting outside the palace. When he saw Zhu Xu coming, he hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said, "When you walk, talk to me about the royal money house first." This is Zhu Xu's money bag, which is of great use, and you must not lose it.

Fu Tao knew the importance of the royal money house, glanced around and leaned closer and said, "Back to the emperor, the royal money house minister has been fully prepared, and local commercial banks are changing their names, and the structure is also being reorganized to sort out the rules and regulations to make it more regular and meet the requirements of the court..."

Zhu Xu nodded while walking, so the court's yamen naturally had to have the rules of the court's yamen.

Fu Tao followed Zhu Xu, looked at him with a side look, and said, "I have taken over the money hall from the Ministry of Revenue. I can mint coins, copper coins, silver dollars, ingots, and silver notes at any time. If I have a sample, I will give it to the emperor for preview..."

Zhu Xu nodded, indicating that he was listening.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty used relatively little silver. It was only used by the imperial court and vendors on a large scale. People often used copper coins. After all, the economy was not developed and there was no large amount of flow. Even so, the silver on the market was complicated, with different quality and very chaotic.

Zhu Xu must sort out the coins and unify them so that circulation is convenient and simple.

Fu Tao said: "At present, Huitong Trading Bank...the Royal Bank has controlled most of the domestic banks. The trading banks will completely control this year, and then release new coins through branches in various places, recycle copper coins and broken silver, and re-mint them..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu couldn't help but interrupt, "How many silver notes, silver dollars, and copper coins are issued, you must have a detailed plan, and you cannot throw them out all of them. You must evaluate the capacity on the market, don't depreciate the value, and it is too high in disguise..."

That is, the so-called inflation.

Strictly speaking, there was a shortage of money in the Ming Dynasty market, and Zhu Xu was not afraid of tightening, but was afraid of expansion.

Fu Tao responded and said, "Yes, I am discussing with the Ministry of Revenue. Based on the taxes over the years and the commercial taxes in recent years, I plan to issue three million taels of silver bills this year to test it."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, Fu Tao's actions were still conservative, but that was the case. After all, this was the first time to create a world of things.

Seeing that Zhu Xu stopped talking, Fu Tao continued: "There is now 70 million taels of silver in the royal bank, and 20 million can be used. The others are all deposited by our own chamber of commerce or other cooperative chambers of commerce. The flow is relatively large, and the people deposit less..."

Zhu Xu understood that people nowadays would hide some money at their homes, and they would rarely take it out and save it, not to mention that there would be a fee for storage.

Zhu Xu looked up and saw that he was approaching the downtown area. He held his footsteps, looked ahead, and thought, "There is no shortage of deposits now. If it is missing in the future, the storage fee can be cancelled. If necessary, the interest can be paid. Don't be too high. Set a period and you can get interest when it expires, but you can't get it until the time is... "

Fu Tao was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said happily: "The emperor is wise, this is indeed a good idea. In this way, the court will never be short of money."

Zhu Xu smiled and shook his head, not saying much. In fact, there is no shortage. This is something to be paid. Plus interest, if it really comes, it will definitely be run and closed down!

Fu Tao didn't know what Zhu Xu meant to shake his head, and continued, "I plan to cooperate with various yamen in the court, various private chambers of commerce, including post stations, etc., to extend the royal bank to every corner of the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Xu trusted Fu Tao's ability. He had been in Huitong Trading for many years. It was really difficult to find a second one in Daming. He smiled and said, "Well, how are you cultivating talents?"

Fu Tao said: "Don't worry, Huitong Trading Company has had special training schools since the second year of Chongzhen, all of which were trained at the age of 11 or 2. Now is the time to be very useful."

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Well, don't stop, you need to increase your efforts. My Ming Dynasty is employed. When you are short of people, you can go back and tell your subordinates that as long as you do well, you can adjust the six departments and show your abilities to me!"

Fu Tao is now a third-rank minister. He was very excited when he heard this and raised his hand and said, "I thank you, the emperor, I will definitely tell them word for word!"

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "How are the construction of the vaults and silver vaults in various places?"

Fu Tao suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It has been under construction. The Governor's Offices in various places have sent troops to escort them, and the internal supervision is also carried out to ensure that if it is done."

"When you go back, you write a detailed memorial for me,"

Zhu Xu's initial expectations for the Royal Money House were met, and he said: "It must be detailed and comprehensive. It will be done in the next two days. I will discuss it with the cabinet in detail."

This is related to the future of the royal money house. Fu Tao naturally did not dare to be careless and quickly raised his hand and said, "I will follow the order, I will go back and write now."

Zhu Xu nodded and watched Fu Tao leave. After a while, he turned around and walked towards a restaurant not far away. He just saw Zhou Jianyu walking in.

Zhu Xu followed Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, and other imperial guards were far away.

Zhu Xu came to the restaurant, looked at the sign and laughed. The restaurant was called "Reception Restaurant". Although the word "Hui" was not used, he also played the edge ball.

"Go away, this is a private restaurant for noble people, and it will not be welcomed by individual guests!"

Before Zhu Xu got closer, a fat woman waved her hand at Zhu Xu, looking disgusted.

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked up and down, then turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao's clothing, are they so unclassified?

"I know you nobles, please inform me..." Zhu Xu laughed in his heart and said to the fat woman with a smile.
