Chapter 239 Rubbing the Wool of the World
Before that, Yingzheng also thought about converting all the taxes paid by the local government to the imperial court into cash.
But in the end he rejected the idea.
Because of doing so, it is easy for local officials to catch loopholes and use the price difference to black money, causing public anger.
However, the bank proposed by Ying Yu can perfectly solve this problem.
The money bank must be an institution directly affiliated to the imperial court, so that local officials have no room for manipulation.
Moreover, when the treasury allocates funds, it can also be flexibly dispatched in various counties and counties through the bank to reduce the loss during transportation.
"This bank is feasible!"
Yingzheng nodded in satisfaction.
And the officials were even more amazed
His Royal Highness's thoughts are indeed different from ordinary people.
Qian Zhuang, such a wild idea, probably only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can think of it.
Although this idea sounds unreliable, the officials thought it was feasible after careful consideration.
"In addition, the bank has another advantage, that is, I can let all the wealth in the world belong to Daqin!"
Ying Yu looked at the dull crowd with a smile on his face, and said slowly.
"This..."
Hearing this, even if he was winning the government, he couldn't help being stunned.
He couldn't figure out how this bank had anything to do with the world's wealth.
"Father and all the adults should know that with the continuous expansion of our Daqin caravan, half of our Daqin's money has now been promoted in neighboring countries, right?"
When everyone heard the words, they nodded.
"Indeed, as His Highness said, part of the reason for the shortage of money in the Great Qin Dynasty is that the surrounding countries like to use half a coin."
"Since my Great Qin Banliang Coin can be promoted in these countries, why can't banks and money tickets be extended to other countries?"
"As long as banks and banknotes become popular in other countries, their gold, silver, and copper cash will flow into my Daqin bank continuously. Doesn't this mean that all the real wealth falls into my Daqin's hands? "
Ying Yu said with a smile.
This is the advantage of leading the culture. The Daqin at this moment is the direction indicator of the whole world.
The surrounding countries are imitating Daqin.
In the eyes of these countries, it is a fashion and an honor to be able to be consistent with Daqin.
As long as the money bank is launched in Daqin, it will inevitably spread to surrounding countries along with the footprints of merchants.
At that time, neighboring countries will follow suit first, but do they have anti-counterfeiting technology?
In the end, Daqin's banks will inevitably be opened in neighboring countries.
For Daqin, exchanging bills for cash is a sure-fire business.
"His Royal Highness, didn't you just say that this money ticket can be exchanged for cash at any time?
Nestern asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Everyone, don't forget that there is a handling fee for exchanging money tickets into cash.
If you are a businessman, would you be willing to pay more for this service fee if the money ticket is very easy to use?
And after converting it into cash, you have to deposit the cash in the bank for the next transaction, isn't it bothersome? "
Looking at the puzzled crowd, Ying Yu asked back.
This is also the reason why he promoted Qianzhuang first instead of banks.
It is to use this handling fee to keep a large amount of gold and silver in the bank.
"The prince is right. Merchants are always careful in their calculations, and they will calculate every amount of money spent. They will definitely not pay more if they can reduce the handling fee."
Ying Zheng nodded. With the continuous development of Daqin's business, Brother Zheng also got to know the merchants.
"If it's really feasible, then wouldn't I, Daqin, be able to use this money ticket to exchange for a pile of gold and silver treasures from other countries?"
Nesten was slightly stunned, and then spoke excitedly.
The rest of the courtiers also figured it out at this time.
Surprised looks appeared on their faces.
"Indeed!
These countries that use Daqin money tickets are actually my Daqin's economic colonies. "
Ying Yu smiled and said:
"If one day, these countries have evil intentions towards our Great Qin, we only need to suspend the exchange of money notes in these countries, and then their economies will collapse and they will have no money to use!
At that time, the merchants and people in their country will inevitably be dissatisfied with the royal family.
I, Daqin, don't need to do anything, they will be in chaos first, and they will break down by themselves. "
Ying Yu said coldly.
A certain empire in later generations relied on military and financial hegemony to print coins wantonly and pluck the wool of the whole world.
Now that Daqin is well-deserved as the world's most powerful country, Ying Yu will naturally not let go of such a thing of wool.
When all the officials heard this, they gasped in unison.
They never imagined that a small bank could play such an important role.
It can not only facilitate the business of Daqin merchants, but also increase the income of the treasury by prospering commerce.
It can also be used as a supplement to the national treasury to facilitate the dispatch of money and grain between Xianyang and various counties and counties, and save water transportation costs.
The most important thing is that they can still use the bank to absorb wealth from other countries for their own use, and exchange money tickets for a pile of real gold and silver.
It can even be achieved, controlling the economic lifelines of neighboring countries, so that they have no power to resist Great Qin!
No money means no soldiers, no food, nothing can be done!
"The talent of the prince is not as good as that of the veteran!"
Nesten was stunned for a long time, and then he came back to his senses and said something with emotion.
The rest of the courtiers also showed admiration.
It is a great blessing for Daqin to have such a prince!
"The crown prince is fully responsible for the establishment of the bank, and the rest of the ministries must cooperate unconditionally. If anyone dares to stop him, he will be a stumbling block behind his back, and he will be killed without mercy!"
Things are feasible, Yingzheng made a decision directly and issued a warning.
From Ying Zheng's voice, it could be seen how much he valued Qian Zhuang.
"Father, don't worry, my son will not disgrace his mission!"
Ying Yu clasped his fists solemnly and said.
Daqin's financial hegemony officially began from this moment.
It wasn't until the officials dispersed that Ying Zheng asked about Ying Yao.
Ying Yu didn't hide anything about this, and told the truth in detail.
"Back then, I only realized the reason after the fact. Speaking of it, I owed them both father and daughter."
Ying Zheng sighed with emotion.
Even if Lu Buwei didn't do it back then, he would do it.
Because Cheng Yu did pose a threat to him.
It's just that he won't kill them all.
"Send a message to Ying Yao for me. I can forget about the past. As long as she is no longer an enemy of Da Qin, I will make her a princess."
Ying Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Through this period of contact, he knew that although Ying Yao was a daughter, she had a very strong personality.
It is unlikely that she will continue to be an enemy with Daqin, but she will probably dismiss the position of princess.
