"Imperial Father, as for the money house, I suggest that the Ministry of Revenue control it, and the royal family control the capital. In addition, I suggest that from today onwards, the salaries of officials can be replaced by gold and silver coins, and all of them will be distributed by the money house.”
"This way, Father can tell at a glance who is corrupt.”
While Old Zhu was in shock, Zhu Bai spoke again.
This time, Old Zhu's eyes lit up.
To Old Zhu, the financial income was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise, but Zhu Bai's words pierced his heart.
Old Zhu hated corruption the most.
If he could control corruption from time to time, there was nothing more attractive to him than this.
"Shier, how can we be sure that there won't be corruption in the bank?”
The excitement didn't last long. Old Zhu soon noticed the key point.
The money house could monitor corruption, but once the money house was corrupted, how could they solve it?
"Father can set up inspectors from the Brocade Guard to be in charge of supervising the banks. They need to be reviewed every month and every year. These inspectors only have the power to review and make suggestions, but they don't have the power to deal with them.”
What to do if the bank ran into problems? In his previous life, China had undoubtedly given him a very good solution.
Although it could not be completely avoided, it could avoid most of the problems.
"Inspector?"
Old Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
After that, the few of them continued their discussion.
It was not until late at night that Zhu Bai left the Imperial Palace.
Seven days later.
The Great Ming Imperial Bank opened in the capital.
For a moment, it attracted the attention of countless people.
At this moment, everything was extremely strange to them.
"The Royal Bank?"
"Brother, do you know what this is?”
"I don't know!"
"Hehe, you don't know about this. It's said that this is a bank opened by His Majesty the Emperor.”
" What? The emperor also opened a bank!"
"His Majesty the Emperor has opened a bank as well. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is short of money? Impossible!”
"Hehe, you don't know this. It's said that His Majesty the Emperor specially made this for the safety of our properties. In the future, our excess money can be deposited into the Great Ming Royal Bank, and we can even pay interest every month.”
"You must be joking. How can there be interest?”
"Also, can the money come back after being deposited?”
"It won't be swallowed by those officials until nothing is left.”
"Hehe, you don't know. This is the responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor himself. Whoever dares to swallow it is really not afraid of being executed!”
"By the way, let's not talk about this. Don't you know? His Majesty the Emperor has minted new money.”
"That new money is very beautiful. It's simply exquisite.”
........
Voices were discussing.
Many people were extremely curious about this new thing.
Some were discussing banks, some were discussing money.
For a time, Daming Bank became the hot topic of the entire capital.
As for the officials in the capital, they were all stunned when they woke up.
Originally, their salaries were paid by the Ministry of Revenue.
Originally, they were still thinking about how to get the Ministry of Revenue to issue less banknotes and more food or copper coins.
However, he did not expect that early in the morning.
When the servants went to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue asked them to go to the Daming Bank.
What the hell was the Daming Bank?
When the servant reported, all the officials were dumbfounded.
In their confusion and curiosity, most of these officials personally came to the Great Ming Imperial Bank.
The moment he stepped in.
They were even more dumbfounded.
The Southern King was actually in the Great Ming Imperial Bank.
After the initial shock, everyone's eyes lit up.
King Nan, this was King Nan. Everyone in the capital knew that King Nan was rich.
Many people were excited when the Southern King gave out his salary.
Zhou Zhiqing, the Deputy of the Supreme Court, was like this.
"Um, Your Highness, can you save some money this time?”
Zhou Zhiqing spoke carefully, his expression hopeful.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhou. This time, we don't have any treasure notes. It's all money. If Lord Zhou has treasure notes, you can come and exchange them.”
"This is Lord Zhou's salary for this month, fifteen dan. His Majesty is grateful for the hard work of all the ministers. From this month onwards, all the officials of Great Ming will have a fifty percent raise, worth a total of two silver coins. One silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins, and one thousand wen.”
"Lord Zhou, do you need to exchange for it?"
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
"No, there's no need!"
"Thank you, thank you, Your Highness!"
Looking at the two exquisite silver coins, Zhou Zhiqing's eyes couldn't help but light up as he hurriedly received them.
However, he was still unable to calm down.
At this moment, he felt that his ears were hallucinating.
Looking at the exquisite silver coins in front of him and recalling Zhu Bai's words just now, he was completely dumbfounded.
He got a raise.
His salary was increased by 50%.
It directly became two thousand wen. This felt like a dream.
In the early years of Hongwu, the salary of officials was stipulated, ranging from the highest monthly salary of the first grade to the lowest salary of the ninth grade. In this regulation, grain was used as the unit of salary, and the paper money "Ming Tongbao Paper" was used as a supplement. This method of salary was used until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
There was already a problem with this salary standard. The county magistrate only had seven stones of rice every month. It was not a problem for him to just eat his fill.
However, the most important thing was that a county magistrate not only had to eat his fill, but he also had to support his people. A county magistrate had to support at least two advisors, servants, and maidservants. This money was paid by the county magistrate, not the court. How could that little money be enough?
Zhou Zhiqing naturally wasn't enough. Now that he had added 50%, he felt like he was in a dream.
And that was not all.
Treasure notes could also be exchanged.
He looked at the exquisite silver coins in his hand.
At this moment, he really wanted to pinch himself.
"Um, Your Highness, you said that banknotes can be exchanged?”
"Is it true?"
Zhou Zhiqing could not help but speak again.
Because he was honest, he had accumulated a lot of money over the years.
If he could exchange it for silver coins at this moment, he could not help but be excited.
"Of course it's true!"
"Lord Zhou can come at any time!"
Zhu Bai nodded.
Facing Zhu Bai's nod, Zhou Zhiqing's eyes lit up completely, and his figure hurriedly ran out.
And on this day.
Including the next few days.
The entire Daming Bank was undoubtedly busy.
In the beginning, Zhu Bai was still involved in it, but later on, he let the other members do it.
And he was screening who among these people was useful.
He was prepared to borrow a chicken to lay eggs.
Naturally, he would keep a close eye on them.
At this moment, the entire capital was in an uproar.
Three days passed.
Especially when the officials received their salaries from the Daming Bank, and they were paid in exquisite new coins.
Everyone fell into a state of joy.
This time, not only did they get a salary increase, but they also no longer had money.
More importantly, the old banknotes could be exchanged for new coins.
This alone was enough to make them ecstatic.
What was a banknote? At most, it was better than waste paper. However, the new banknotes were so beautiful that it was almost like picking up money for them.
Especially when someone took the new coins to exchange for copper coins, the Daming Bank would also exchange them directly.
There was no problem at all.
This way…
The entire market for the new currency was opened almost instantly.
The exchange of large amounts of banknotes also allowed a large number of new coins to flow into the hands of the various nobles.
Although it had not sunk yet.
However, when there were enough of them, it was only a matter of time before they fell into the hands of the people.
Compared to the money that could not be used.
The new coins could be used at any time.
In this way, the lack of money in the entire market could be quickly resolved.
In just half a month.
Copper coins had already begun to appear on the market.
He didn't have any silver coins.
However, it was already a good start.
And a large number of people from the Ministry of Revenue also entered Zhu Bai's consideration.
At this moment, he was already prepared to poach a batch.
The reason was simple.
He established the Daming Bank in various places.
Since the various regions were going to be established, the Qiongzhou Prefecture naturally needed to be established as well.
As for the number of people who were taken away.
He was more powerful.
He was the one who had nurtured them. So what if he used his power for personal gain?
He believed that no one would have any objections.
Of course, Zhu Bai still needed to wait for a period of time.
As expected, after his wedding, it would be enough to determine a good candidate.
At that time, he would undoubtedly run away.
As for the right to mint money.
Not to mention that it was only a few hundred thousand yuan now. He did not need it for the time being, but he would need it in the future.
Old Zhu did not collapse either.
but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
As long as the currency he forged was the same as Great Ming and did not flow into Great Ming on a large scale, no one could say that it was fake.
Once the system was perfected, he would be able to enter paper money directly and quickly break away from Da Ming's influence.
It could be said to be perfect.
At least most of the problems had been completely solved.
It could quickly put his rule on the right track.
