Fang Jifan met Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s gaze and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, under the leadership of Liu Jin, the Siyang Trading Company has been tepid in the past two years, but in fact, Liu Jin has already made arrangements in various countries."
"Not to mention trading strongholds, just talking about the information that I have obtained from various countries in the past two years, there are countless." He paused and took a breath before continuing.
"My son is not praising Liu Jin. Liu Jin and my son are not related to each other"
"Wait a minute" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with doubt in his eyes: "Didn't Liu Jin worship you as his eldest father?"
"Your Majesty is your Majesty, and you are indeed aware of everything. But Your Majesty, my son built Xishan Academy and has so many disciples and disciples. A recognized godson is nothing. For example, Eunuch Xiao, he still claims to be my nephew. But Erchen, do you have any intention of protecting him?"
Fang Jifan glanced at Xiao Jing, swallowed his saliva, and then spoke again.
"When I do things, I keep a clear distinction between public and private affairs. I only have Your Majesty and the imperial court in my heart. Apart from that, I have no personal feelings. My heart can be verified by heaven and earth, as can be seen by the sun and the moon."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
There is some truth to that.
Fang Jifan continued: "Many of the messages from these four foreign trading houses indicate one thing, that is, none of the countries has established a stable monetary system, and those that are lagging behind are even still in the stage of exchanging goods for goods. . Better, although money is also minted, countries frequently attack each other. New currencies replace old currencies at any time. In addition, private money is minted, and the content of gold and silver coins is not uniform. According to the standards, even when people buy and sell, currency transactions are often the most cumbersome."
"I thought that Xishan's banknotes had been popularized in the Ming Dynasty, but now have good credit. On the one hand, the bank was supervised by the palace and the court, and had special rules and regulations, and had sufficient gold and silver reserves. But Guarantee that you will never be harmed by bank runs. Then, why not run banks in various countries and spread the bank's banknotes to all over the world?"
"On the one hand, with a unified currency standard, future trade with foreign countries can be more satisfactory for Siyang Commercial Banks. And if all countries accept banknotes, then our Ming Dynasty can use banknotes to import specialties from various countries. Enrich the shortages of our Ming Dynasty. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty ruled the countries. In the past, it only controlled the countries through tribute. The ministers believed that this was very unstable. With banks and banknotes passed, and then through banknotes, a large number of Purchase the assets of each country so that they will never rebel against each other.¡±
"Furthermore, a large amount of gold and silver will be imported into the Ming Dynasty to alleviate the inflation in the Ming Dynasty, and introduce this inflation to various countries to reduce the pressure. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to strengthen the Xishan Bank and the Siyang Commercial Bank. These three major benefits are, What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Hongzhi is in a good mood now, and a smile can't help but appear on his face.
He understood most of what Fang Jifan said.
Although I don¡¯t quite understand some things, all countries in the world use Ming Dynasty currency notes, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Emperor Hongzhi thought, feeling very happy. All countries in the world use Ming Dynasty money. This is an unprecedented thing in history. But when he thought about it, he seemed to have thought of something again. He couldn't help but stare at Fang Jifan with his eyes wide open and asked.
"Is it possible to achieve it, what if the countries are unwilling to comply?"
Fang Jifan smiled at Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty, the promotion of money tickets depends on the interests. For princes, nobles, merchants and even ordinary people in various countries, as long as this thing is stable and its value can always be guaranteed, they will make their own choices. This is by no means If the king of a country wants to ban it, he can ban it. When there is no currency more stable than banknotes in the country, people will naturally be more willing to accept transactions with banknotes. This is not the case for the king of a country to just rely on a piece of edict. , it can be solved.¡±
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi nodded, squinted his eyes, and became thoughtful.
"You come up with the regulations, and this matter will be handled by the government."
The effect of this Jingfu came out immediately.
There have been many giant trading houses in the Ming Dynasty, whether they are banks, Siyang Trading Company, Xingfu Group, or giants such as steel, textiles, steam locomotives, etc., among them, there is no institution in the middle. Coordination is impossible.
¡°It just so happens that the DPRK and the Central Government don¡¯t know much about this.
Fang Jifan said: "My son and I obey the order."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I have finally been looking forward to this day. In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager. This is a double happiness, haha"
With money, Hong?¡A few days ago, I heard that there was an old woman who had adopted many children. She supported others with her needlework every month. This was a righteous act and worthy of promotion. I heard that she was not well-off, but I didn¡¯t know that this old woman, I really want to visit her where she lives now, and also want to give her some gold and silver so that she can teach her how to help more orphans. "
""
"Thisthis"
Many people started to blush.
Wang Bushi looked around at everyone, then put his hands behind his back and sighed.
"The easiest thing in the world is to gather wealth, but the most difficult thing in the world is to gather righteousness. Confucius said to achieve benevolence, and Mencius said to obtain righteousness. Only when righteousness is exhausted, benevolence is the best. What have you learned from reading the books of sages? Now and then. , I have nothing to be ashamed of. The learning of saints is as high as Mount Tai, unreachable; and like the sea, unfathomable. If our mortal bodies can be based on benevolence and righteousness, and do what we can, even if it is only a little, we will not be able to reach it in this life. No regrets.¡±
