My Daming New Empire

The team formed by the nobles is of course embarrassed, and they don't bother to earn such a small amount of money, because the general venues are flat, and it can accommodate thousands of people to watch, which is too much.

But now that there is an arena, it is different. An arena with 10 people, even if only half of the people are seated, can earn more than 2000 taels of silver in one game.

Now, when silver is still very valuable, this amount of money is not a small amount to anyone.

A North Korean, taking 150 taels of gold and 700 taels of silver a year is still complaining.It's not because the money is too much, but because the amount of gold and silver is extremely limited today!

The so-called 10 waist wrapping around Yangzhou, regardless of whether it can be wrapped or not, in the Nanliang period, [-] refers to [-] copper coins, not [-] taels of silver.

The reason why the Song Dynasty used Jiaozi was also because there was no cash or silver.

The Ming Dynasty distributed salaries to officials. Why did they use food and cloth? It was also because there was no gold and silver.

As for the Tang and Song Dynasties written in many novels, and even earlier times, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, that is all a joke.

In the original history, until the mid-Ming Dynasty, Dongying's gold and silver production accounted for more than half of the world.In the late Ming Dynasty, Spain discovered countless gold and silver mines from the Americas, and trading with gold and silver became the mainstream.

Because he had already met Li before, after Zhang Fu finished speaking, he just bowed to everyone this time, which was regarded as a greeting.

But Mu Xin, who came in with him, made a long bow and bowed to everyone. "Xin has seen His Highness, seen the same robe."

He is an uncle, and Zhu Zhanji also returned half the salute, and the others also returned the salute according to their status.

After seeing the ceremony, Mu Xin couldn't wait to say: "Verity, it was three years ago that your team won the championship. Last year, our two teams won. In this arena, we must have one."

Zhu Yong has a high title, but Mu Xin is old and distinguished. Zhu Yong can't show his prestige, so he can only curl his lips and say: "We have already negotiated with the Baochao Division, and we will cooperate with the Baochao Division in the future. Excluding the fee, we can make [-]% of the profit from tickets, and [-]% of the profit from betting..."

Mu Xin laughed and said, "Do you think we haven't settled with Bao Chaosi? How could that old fox Zhong Rui only talk to your family?"

Zhu Yong was taken aback, looking at the two old foxes, speechless.

And the other little fox was giggling on the sidelines.

Zhong Rui, the chief eunuch of the Baochao Department, has been working in the Baochao Department since the seventh year of Hongwu, when the Baochao was first issued.

He has been obsessed with one thing all his life, and has unparalleled experience in the printing, distribution, and financial planning of banknotes.

As early as when Zhu Zhanji invented the new Cuju rules, he thought of starting a gambling game, and came up with the betting methods common to several major gaming groups in later generations.

Who will carry out this task, of course, is the Banknote Division, because they are printing experts, and the betting tickets they print are extremely difficult to prevent, and they can easily distinguish between genuine and fake.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't care about this matter after handing it over to him. He didn't expect that after a few years, this business would really start.

Although spinach is not a legitimate channel for money, it is indeed an industry with a very large cash flow.

In this era when all civil and military officials and ordinary people like to gamble, they can also revitalize the wealth of the people through spinach.

Of course, he will not easily break the rules when it is not necessary, because the rules are difficult to establish but easy to break.

He has now established a bank, and the common people have gradually believed in the credit of the imperial court and began to deposit money in the bank.

However, the bigger the merchants, the less they believed in the imperial court. Nowadays, large-scale gold and silver transactions among the people are still thriving.

However, these merchants have realized that the purity and quality of gold and silver coins are trustworthy. The Internal Supervision and Banking Bureau has die-casted hundreds of millions of silver dollars and copper coins worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the past few years, and dozens of die-casting machines have broken down.

However, the bank's total deposits and working capital are less than [-]% of the amount of die-cast coins.

The reason for [-]% is because the internal supervisor has restricted merchants from trading with the court, and must deposit money in the bank.

Moreover, all kinds of public expenses of the imperial court, project expenses, and salaries of officials and soldiers are also passed through the bank.

There is still a difference of [-]%. Except for a few gold, silver and copper coins circulating abroad, there are only gold and silver coins hidden by big merchants.

Zhu Zhanji did not manage the gold and silver cash transactions in order to go to sea, and Zhu Di did not realize the importance of this matter. He believed that the imperial court set up cards everywhere, which would consume manpower and material resources and increase corruption, so there was no control.

But Zhu Zhanji is very clear that if a large amount of gold and silver are stored privately as surplus materials, it will only cause a shortage of coins on the market.

The development of society requires the circulation of money. Gold and silver cannot be eaten or drunk, and if they are not used, the shortage of coins will gradually cause wealth hunger and thirst.

Although it is very difficult to change people's understanding, the first step must be taken.

While checking bank accounts and promoting the circulation of goods, it is also necessary to promote the circulation of money so that the economy will not be out of balance.

In the era when gold and silver were used as currency, and in the era when there was no tertiary industry, there was no need to worry about financial crises, but we must beware of currency shortage crises and currency abundance crises.

A group of old guys with all kinds of poisons changed the topic from Cuju to women, and the old guys were very proud.The juniors all pretended to be shy, but actually listened disdainfully to the old guys exposing each other's shortcomings, or showing off their romantic history.

Zhu Zhanji coughed dryly when he saw that the topic was getting farther and farther away.Although everyone seems to be talking nonsense, they have actually been paying attention to Zhu Zhanji's expression.

Hearing his dry cough, everyone immediately shut up and looked at Zhu Zhanji.

Only then did Zhu Zhanji say: "When I mentioned the Baochao Department, I remembered something. The Daming Development Bank has only been open for three years, and now it has a deficit of 300 million silver coins.

Gu is going to check the accounts carefully recently. If each of you has pending accounts at the bank, let’s not mention the ones that are not due. If the deadline is over, you should smooth out the accounts as soon as possible.It's only natural to pay off debts! "

(Today I have to get an injection for another day. I am afraid that the update will be late again, so I woke up after two hours of sleep last night and coded. If the condition is good in the afternoon, I will add more... But don’t hold out too much hope, although the toothache has relieved Some, but I didn’t rest well because of the code words, I’m afraid it will be a hard day today. I hope everyone will understand, thank you!)

Chapter 55 Hope

Reminding everyone at Zhang Fu's birthday banquet, Zhu Zhanji had already considered it, because most of the nobles would appear.

And because of his presence, the civil servants will also send people to pay attention to this place. He said a word at this time, which is comparable to mentioning it at a court meeting.

However, it would be too much to bring up such a matter as debt collection at the Great Court Meeting.

In this day and age, a gentleman doesn't talk about profit. Even a villain has to go around a few times to put a halo on the outside.

Although everyone is doing it for fame and fortune, it is vulgar to talk about profit with the public, but it is vulgar to talk about profit with private.

Talking about money directly would be looked down upon.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, many people became embarrassed.

Mu Xin is also one of the debtors. He currently has a debt of [-] silver coins from the Development Bank. Apart from paying half a year's interest, he has not paid a penny of the principal.

He thought he had a close relationship with Zhu Zhanji, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, is the situation of the Development Bank really so serious?"

Zhu Zhanji sighed: "The purpose of setting up a bank alone is to revitalize our Ming economy. But now there is a lot of deficit, just like there is no blood in the blood vessels. How can this person's health be good?"

Mu Xin laughed and said, "A deficit of 300 million is not worth mentioning compared to the 2000 million profit His Highness made from Xiyang?"

Zhu Zhanji clasped his fists and said: "My uncle's words are different, and the yards are the same. They should not be confused. Repaying debts is a matter of course. This is the rule and this is ethics. The purpose of establishing the bank is to develop my economy in Ming Dynasty. Let the bank Serving everyone, not making the bank a purse of the few.

If everyone is like this, the bank's funds will dry up in the future, but it will make everyone who deposits in the bank feel insecure and cause a run.Once the credit of the bank is lost, who will deposit money in the bank in the future?Who would use a bank for convenience?

The internal treasury cannot use silver to make up for the shortfall without a bottom line. If this is the case, isn't the plan to open a bank a joke? "

Zhu Zhanji kept saying that it was for convenience, but he couldn't say clearly that my royal family's money cannot be embezzled by you. It is a matter of course in later generations, because now is the era of the family, and everyone takes advantage of it as a matter of course.
