Chapter 312

Zhu Youjian's buttocks felt as if they had been pricked by nails.

With a "Zeng!" sound, he shot up.

"This... this, what is to be done!"

"That is one hundred million taels of silver!"

"Mr. Su..."

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words.

Su Qiao looked up with a helpless expression, glanced at Du Du Yinxi, and asked.

"Does Senior Du have any plan?"

Upon hearing this, Du Du Yinxi froze 563, then frowned tightly and said carefully.

"I do have a few ideas, but I do not know how Lord Su views them."

"Please, Senior, speak boldly."

Du Du Yinxi took a deep breath, then said.

"The common people, because the paper money value outside the pass has plummeted, fear their wealth will be scattered, and thus are eager to exchange it for silver."

"Since this is so, our Bureau of Paper Money should naturally open exchanges to calm the people's hearts; I believe each currency depot needs to add twenty silver exchange windows to calm the people's hearts."

Hearing Du Du Yinxi's answer.

Su Qiao could not help but nod repeatedly.

It was indeed Du Du Yinxi.

He saw the matter clearly.

"Senior Du's insight is high, steady and balanced, even safe."

Hearing Su Qiao praise him.

A trace of joy inevitably appeared on Du Du Yinxi's face.

Before Du Du Yinxi could be happy for long.

Su Qiao stood aside and said leisurely.

"However, I do not intend to use this method."

Du Du Yinxi was inevitably stunned in place.

He looked at Su Qiao with a face full of confusion.

"Please, Senior Du, select some personnel; starting today, each shall rush to the various tribes of the grasslands, Gao Li, and other places."

"Buy paper money at the price of one thousand and five wen."

"Every ten days, raise the price by five wen!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Su Qiao with a face full of disbelief.

"No, Mr. Su, how are we even losing money on this?"

Su Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Youjian; he continued to lie on the ground sewing something and said without turning his head.

"Your Majesty could also use Senior Du's plan; it is steady and balanced, and I am too lazy to say more nonsense."

Hearing Su Qiao's words.

Everyone inside the entire Weapon Bureau could not help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

What background does this Lord Su have?

How is this a subject!

This is clearly an Emperor Emeritus!

If it were merely to stabilize the price of paper money.

What Du Du Yinxi did would be enough.

But what Su Qiao wanted was not merely the price of paper money.

After all, Old Zhu had "precious jade before him."

It requires a long time for ordinary people to accept paper money.

The construction of confidence is a very long cycle.

So what Su Qiao chose was to crush the people's confidence in silver!

172, silver prices plummet!

Even if Fan Wencheng played all kinds of tricks.

It would only be shorting in different ways.

Su Qiao was not curious about what means Huang Taiji actually used to get so much Great Ming paper money.

Su Qiao only knew.

That as long as he now pulled up the price of Great Ming paper money, or stepped down the price of silver.

No matter who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

He could instantly blow them up.

In this era.

Great Ming's economic volume.

Was heaven!

Even if Huang Taiji gathered the Eastern Yi, Gao Li, and Jiaozhi to cause trouble together, they would absolutely not be a match for Great Ming.

The thing Great Ming lacked least was silver!

Zhu Youjian and Du Du Yinxi exchanged a glance.

After hesitating for a long time.

Only then did Zhu Youjian look at Du Yinxi and instruct,

"Grand Secretary Du, for now, carry out Mr. Su's order."

Hearing this, Du Yinxi immediately cupped his hands and said,

"Yes!"

Du Yinxi quickly left the imperial palace.

When Du Yinxi issued this edict from the capital, he had not yet realized,

this act of his,

had already completely changed history.

From the very moment the Embroidered Uniform Guards, disguised as merchants, stepped out past the Great Wall,

the foundation of gold and silver as currency began to crumble.

Once the belief that gold and silver were a sure, lossless store of value collapsed, then gold and silver would no longer pose such a great threat to Great Ming treasure notes either.

……

……

Shengjing.

The various banner lords of the Eight Banners had actually stockpiled quite a lot of Great Ming treasure notes.

After all, even though Huang Taiji had offered sacrifices to Heaven and proclaimed himself emperor,

that was nothing more than one grand song-and-dance performance.

The fundamental nature of the Eight Banners would not change in any essential way.

They still needed massive quantities of goods supplied from within the pass.

Now that the Great Ming Ministry of Revenue had set down this iron rule,

they were naturally the first to rush ahead and stockpile treasure notes.

After all, whoever held more treasure notes,

whose bannermen would have finer armor, and whoever could more easily get hold of firsthand intelligence.

But all of this,

under one order after another from Fan Wencheng,

gradually turned into a bubble.

Inside the Beile Residence.

Duoduo glared fiercely at Duodergen before him and asked,

"Brother, are we really just going to sit and watch that Han fellow run wild like this?"
