Chapter 340 Gathering and Parting(2/2)
The Jin Dynasty banknotes in the Song Dynasty were popular in the hundreds of cities in Fusang, and it seemed to have a large circulation range. However, compared with the population of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, it is still a little smaller.
What's more, the Song Dynasty was rich in gold. The Yin people's stock in a thousand years and the mining of more than a dozen large mines made the total amount of gold banknotes actually quite large, which was incomparable to the total amount of currency in the Yuan Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, it is the inflation caused by the excessive issuance of currency. This problem is actually very serious.
For example, for an ordinary citizen in Xinyashan, the minimum monthly expense is about 5 jin of gold, which is five liang of gold!
Five taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, and 150 jin of Zhongtong Banknotes, the top-level capital has been living happily for more than half a year.
However, now, once the Fuso Bank in Qiandao City starts to exchange, it can be foreseen that the entire Zhongtong Bank of China in the Dayuan will pursue huge profits and be exchanged into gold banknotes in a short period of time.
In the past, a large number of people and a Xinyashan family with equal assets under different monetary systems are now one on the ground and the other on the sky under the same monetary system.
Similarly, the Song Dynasty was equivalent to passing the risk of inflation to the Yuan Dynasty.
At first, Song Ting proposed to slow down the pace of currency exchange, but Kublai Khan was disdainful and thought that Song Ting was not slow to do things and was not at all happy.
I have already said it out, but you are still cautious, afraid that I will regret it?
The lustful and wealthy officials he brought were not clear about, and they thought that long pain was better than short pain. Anyway, they had to replace the gold bills, how good would it be to finish the work in one day?
As a result, Chen Yizhong was so angry that he directly suggested to Kublai Khan, "I'll quit these red-haired monsters, I'll choose a few bank apprentices for you as the financial minister."
I only gave Kublai Khan an example, "If all the gold banknotes in Fusang Songting are one dollar and all the goods are worth one dollar, then for every dollar I print them, the price of goods in Xinyashan will double. It seems that the gold banknotes have become two dollars, and their net worth doubled, but in fact it has not changed!"
"Now the Yuan court also uses gold bills, and there is also a dollar, and the goods are worth one yuan. Together with Xinyashan, all the goods in the two dynasties are worth two yuan."
"If I print another dollar to Xinyashan now, then the two countries will have three dollars in total, and the value of the goods is also three dollars. But on average, the goods in Xinyashan only increased to one and a half yuan, and the remaining half is what I earned."
"And what about you? You still have one dollar in your hand, but the goods have increased to one and a half yuan!"
"You did nothing, but the money was less for no reason, and the less it was not a little bit!"
"And the half dollar in my hand is not in my hand, but in the hands of the people, and it has very low controllability!"
"If it is exchanged slowly, it's okay. The people's reaction is not so fast and not so big."
"If it's replaced it in one go, your Dayuan will not be able to react at all. The half dollar in Xinyashan will go crazy and buy whatever you see."
"And, this is not a problem of buying half a dollar for only half a dollar. Although your goods are worth one and a half yuan, your prices are still at the original low level. If you can buy all your money for half a dollar, the country will collapse!"
Kublai Khan: "..."
Kublai Khan was frightened. Is there... so dangerous?
Suddenly I regretted it a little, so I shouldn’t agree to the gold bills to enter the big yuan.
This is even more cruel than a thousand troops.
Before, Kublai Khan didn't think so much. When Song Ting proposed to open a bank in the Dayuan period and issue gold bills, he was quite happy.
After all, the old man has suffered a loss. He used the Zhongtong money to replace the Eighteen Realms of the Old Song Dynasty, but he spent a lot of money and almost lost money to his pants, so that Kublai Khan never became interested in the currency system.
This is a loss of money.
In addition, what he saw with his own eyes that the gold bill was strong, so just change it. The Song people are willing to be fools, so he just thinks it!
Now I hear that I am ignorant!
I wanted to go back on the spot and think about it again. Don’t let Zhao Wei take over the order, and his Dayuan is no longer his own, which is really uncomfortable.
However, Chen Yizhong laughed, "Don't worry about Emperor Yuan, Yizhong has a big business with you!"
“What big business?”
Chen Yizhong smiled secretly, "Didn't Emperor Yuan want to fight against Europa? Isn't he going to unify the Great Mongol Empire?"
"You can do this, every time you set up a place, you will build a bank there, and you will issue gold bills."
"In this case, I will spend one dollar and you will spend one dollar. For every extra piece of land, you will spend one dollar less, and the risk of depreciation of your large dollar goods will be one cent less."
"And, I can sell you gold bills at a low price! Emperor Yuan can be the agent of gold bills."
"Every time you issue a piece of gold bill, I will give you one piece."
"Every time there is an extra place to settle the goods with gold notes, we will give Yuandi some discounts as long as we pass the Yuandi's hands. How about it?"
"As long as you build more places, you will earn more."
Although Kublai Khan was very unhappy and was used as a gun, he was a little moved.
So much so that when I looked at my two red-haired and green-eyed wealthy ministers, the more I looked at them, the more I didn’t like them.
It would be fine if I didn’t see it, it wasn’t my strength, but what did you all do for food?
Those two ministers with semen and wealth were also very unfair. They really don’t blame them. The Song people played too well. They had never learned it at all.
Early October.
Kublai Khan, who was in the territory of Song for several months, decided to return north. In addition to the prince Zhenjin and a group of Yuan ministers, there were also Zhang Jianzhi.
Yes, when Zhao and Luo came back, even if Zhao Wei opposed Zhang Shi going north, he was a little powerless in front of his father.
In the end, the prime minister followed Kublai Khan. Before he could clear one of the infamy, he had to bear another infamy.
The prime minister doesn't care about this.
He said to Zhao Wei, you owed me what you owed me in this life, and you will pay it back to me in the next life!
Before boarding the boat, Zhang Jianzhi took a deep look at Xinya Mountain, full of attachment.
This is the place where the Song Dynasty was reborn, and it is also the place where his Zhang Jian was reborn.
However, his age will never come back.
Kublai Khan also looked at Xinya Mountain nostalgic.
This is also the place where the old man is reborn, allowing him to see a new era that he should not have seen.
Fortunately, what satisfied Kublai Khan was that he was also opening up a new era, at least one of the founders of the new era.
It is not easy to let go of hatred, and it is even less easy to let go of power. However, people like him, as Zhao Wei said, are destined to be legendary!
Nothing makes the old man's blood boil more than creating the world.
Kublai Khan knew that this was also his last visit to Xinya Mountain. I really don’t know what this place will look like in ten years?
The Grand Canal, which is like a river of heaven, the towns that lay out the sky and the earth, the giant ships flying like birds...
What will it look like in ten years?
......
.
When I was building a road at my doorstep, the movement... I couldn't do anything during the day.
