Hearing this man's warning, Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.
Let him witness the brilliance of the Qin Dynasty?
Under the heavens.
This was the first person who dared to say this to him.
and
What puzzled Ying Zheng was…
The people of Lishan Mountain were very tolerant of Ying Che's illegal acts, but they were also very wary of outsiders. They would even report him to the authorities if he didn't agree with them.
They did not report Ying Che's actions of making counterfeit money and slaughtering cattle to the government. Instead, they threatened and threatened those who wanted to tell the truth. This was simply ridiculous.
However…
Ying Zheng sensed it too.
What the shopkeeper wanted to say just now seemed to have touched on Ying Che's real actions, so much so that he was interrupted and even warned.
Large-scale farming and farming methods.
Ying Che, what exactly did you do at Mount Li?
I will investigate clearly!
Seeing that the middle-aged man had already left, Ying Zheng wanted to ask more questions, but the shopkeeper seemed to be really frightened and did not want to say anything more.
Helpless.
Ying Zheng had no choice but to pay the bill, turn around, and leave.
Before he left, Wang Ben was still thinking about the note, and he even exchanged a piece of paper worth one coin with a Qin and a half taels.
Walking on the streets.
Everything felt dull.
Wang Ben was still studying the notes.
" There's also a ghostly '12345' character at the bottom of the paper money. I don't know what it means. There's also a 'one' character in the middle. I don't know what it means. Young Master Che is really talented to be able to design such a coin.”
Wang Ben was full of praise for the notes.
" You really think this paper money is good?" Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly.”
"Mr. Zhao." Wang Ben was about to say the word 'Your Majesty' again, but he stopped himself and straightened his back,
"Mr. Zhao, from what I know, there are already a lot of fake money in Great Qin.”
"Especially Qi and Yue."
"Every year, we can investigate and deal with many people who forge counterfeit money privately.”
"In recent years, although the law has been increasing the crime of privately forging counterfeit money, privately forging counterfeit money is still prohibited. However, if we implement paper money, it might greatly curb the spread of counterfeit money.”
"Also,"
"Mr. Zhao usually doesn't bring money with him when he travels.”
"Sometimes, when you go out to buy goods, you have to carry hundreds of coins with you. These coins are not only heavy, but they are also easy to lose or steal. If you exchange them for paper money, not only are they easy to carry, but they are also easy to hide.”
"Relatively speaking, it's safer."
"And…"
Wang Ben looked around and whispered,
"Since we can produce one-coin notes, we can definitely produce five-coin notes, ten-coin notes, or even hundred-coin notes. At that time, it will greatly stimulate the circulation of folk currency.”
"In addition, banknotes have a very strong anti-counterfeit ability.”
"Basically, as long as paper money starts to circulate among the people, it will definitely be accepted by the people. After all, the people are the ones who suffer the most from the disaster of counterfeit money.”
"The people have been suffering from counterfeit money for a long time!"
Ying Zheng paused and stared at Wang Ben for a long time before he said angrily,""You've been praising the notes for a long time, but have you ever thought that these notes are also counterfeit?!”
"Don't you think it's ironic that you want me to use counterfeit money to curb counterfeit money?”
Wang Ben smiled awkwardly.
He explained,
"Didn't the noodle shop owner say that this paper money is for trial circulation? Moreover, it was issued in the name of the First Emperor in Mount Li. In other words, as long as the First Emperor finally recognizes the legitimacy of this paper money, then this paper money can be promoted to the whole country.”
"After all…"
"The others don't know either.”
Ying Zheng glared at Wang Ben.
He was really bringing up the sore spot.
In his heart, Ying Zheng rejected the idea of promoting paper money.
Indeed.
He could tacitly admit that he knew about Ying Che's issue of paper money, and he could even turn a blind eye to it and promote the paper money to the whole country.
but
He did not have the right to coin.
The entire imperial court did not have the right to coin!
Ying Che had the right to coin the notes.
In other words, if the imperial court was short of money in the future, he would still need to ask Ying Che for money.
Moreover…
Didn't you hear what the shop owner said? It's a loss to mint these notes.
In other words, if he vigorously promoted paper money, the national treasury would have to spend a lot more money than the actual paper money issued, and the court would not be able to collect seignorage.
What was more, if something happened to the banknotes, the court would have to take the blame.
How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Wait a minute!
The right to coin was in Ying Che's hands.
If they were to promote paper money, the final loss would be on Ying Che's head.
Unless Ying Che handed over the right to coin the notes.
However, as long as he promoted paper money throughout the country, would Ying Che not hand over the right to coin?
No!
This was because the country had such a huge amount of currency in circulation. Just relying on a small Lishan Mountain alone would not be able to supply it.
Lishan didn't have this ability!
In the end.
Ying Che had no choice but to hand over the right to coin.
And once the Imperial Court grasped the right to coin paper money, did that mean that the Imperial Court could directly coin five, ten, or even a hundred coins worth of paper money?
The profits were too high.
Back and forth?
Not only would he not lose out, but he would also make a huge profit.
At the very least, it would be more than the seignorage tax he had collected in the past.
Thinking of this…
Ying Zheng's brows instantly relaxed.
He smiled and said,"
"Wang Ben, you're right."
"Paper money has great benefits for the country and the people. It is imperative to promote paper money throughout the country.”
"As for the losses, let me bear them.”
"I can hold on!"
