Chapter 821 Face Value Comparison with Shining Glass
"Yes, we know this, and then it can't be smaller, just the angle." Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that the smaller face value was indeed better.
Because one egg cannot be exchanged for one kilogram or half a kilogram of rice, especially now that poultry is raised in large quantities, the amount of feed a chicken eats to lay one egg is actually equivalent.
If half a kilogram of rice lays an egg, then kill as many chickens as you can eat.
There are too many pigs, so the price of pork must be in line with the feed ratio, and then add Labor costs and the cost of careless maintenance.
With more sugar cane and glutinous rice, a piece of sugar is not worth a penny. As productivity increases, the prices of some things are falling.
Soybeans and sorghum in Shandong are cheaper because they are planted after the winter wheat is harvested.
In Ningguofu, Taipingfu, Yingtianfu and other nearby places where interplanting and rotation are practiced, jute and ramie are no longer expensive.
However, the price of rapeseed oil is very stable. Hemp and cotton are also grown elsewhere, but there are few rapeseeds. Businessmen will transport the rapeseed oil here to other places for sale, but there is no such thing as jute and ramie. That advantage.
The oil residue after pressing rapeseed oil is a good thing. It can be fed to livestock to make them grow faster, and the oil can also be extracted from pockmarked seeds.
Small denominations of treasure banknotes are in line with the needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty and are convenient for buying and selling. For example, a small handful of coriander can be bought for a dime and borrowed to taste.
"Yes, Your Majesty, one million yuan is liquid enough. No one will pocket a lot of dimes. If they have too many dimes, they have to exchange them for pennies. If they have too much pennies, they have to exchange them for ten cents or twenty cents." No matter how much it is, it will be enough."
The director then said that the face value of the treasure banknotes will be determined according to the demand, Hanhan gave the plan.
Zhu Wentian was listening and nodded from time to time, giving the impression that he could understand.
Zhu Wentian actually considered spending too much money, but after thinking about it again, it was wrong and inconsistent with the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
The fact that he had money in the early days was influenced by the previous dynasties. The round at that time was a silver dollar.
The purchasing power of one silver dollar is too great, so when currency is issued, one yuan is equivalent to the value of one silver dollar, such as Yuan Datou.
The purpose of this is to recover precious metals silver and gold. One yuan is equal to one dollar, and gold is large and small gold bars, which are compared with silver dollars.
Whether it is a small goldfish or a big goldfish, the normal amount of silver dollars is exchanged for the same number of banknotes.
It’s amazing how many things one silver dollar can buy. Jiao and cents divide the silver dollar into ten parts and hundred parts.
The issue of historical continuation is easy to connect and can be understood and accepted by both domestic and foreign countries.
The Ming Dynasty could not do it. One penny in the Ming Dynasty was not one silver dollar. One silver dollar was equivalent to two-thirds of a tael of silver, which was more than 26 points. In the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was more than 37 points.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand cash, which has long been subdivided, but the copper coins used are not equivalent at all, and there is less copper.
WithImprovements in productivity, and especially the positioning of food prices, must have smaller denominations of currency.
Even if you buy half a catty of rice for one penny, the steamed rice will not be half a catty. It depends on whether it is new rice or old rice. And then the people are unwilling to accept a bowl of rice for one penny.
A box lunch only costs three cents, and it comes with vegetables, soup, and pickles. I am so poor that I don’t allow you to make such a high profit by selling rice.
It is much better to pay three cents for a bowl of indica rice and five cents for a bowl of japonica rice.
I don’t have any land to grow vegetables at home. I want to make cucumber slices and egg soup in Nanjing. One cucumber is enough, but I’ll spit it in your face no matter how much it costs.
This is what currency is, wait until later
Zhu Wentian believes that after the Ming Dynasty, there will be dimes, or even cents, because technology continues to improve, productivity is higher, and the yield per mu increases. Yes, there is always a trade surplus in foreign trade, so the daily necessities of the Ming people will be cheap.
Like developed countries at that time, a pair of leather shoes in developing countries sold for three hundred yuan of their own currency, while in developed countries, a pair of leather shoes sold for ten yuan of their own currency.
One dollar in a developed country is seven dollars in a developing country.
That is, a developed country can buy leather shoes worth 300 yuan from a developing country with 70 yuan from a developing country.
At the same time, people in developing countries earn an average of 3,000 yuan a month, and developed countries also earn 3,000 yuan a month, but in their respective currencies.
So the monthly income of developed countries is 21,000 yuan in developing countries. Shoes worth 70 yuan are not cheap.
The monthly income of people in developing countries If you buy ten pairs of leather shoes, if you buy 300 pairs in developed countries, the price difference will be thirty times.
This was also the case after the Ming Dynasty, so the units of treasure notes that needed to be divided at that time were one cent, two cents, and five cents.
Because the technological gap between the outside world and Ming Dynasty is much greater than the gap between developing countries and developed countries. In a few years, the distance will not be an era at all.
Even the matchlock gun has not yet appeared in the best place, so why should we compete with the Ming Dynasty who uses mortars?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t know that the Hanhan with a silly smile next to him was full of specialness. Thinking, he just felt at ease, it was great to have an expert here
"Yichang, our village needs to be expanded as there is no mountain to the east, so we can go hiking"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to continue If you divvy up territory and give it to others, you just give it. There is nothing to gain. The most it can do is stabilize other people's hearts. Loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
It is different for Xiaqiu Village. Xiaqiu Village does not mention loyalty and will find ways to use it as long as there is a place.
Give them a piece of land, and they immediately use it as a seed base and breeding livestock farm to provide plant seeds and animal seeds for the Ming Dynasty.
Give them a pond, and they will raise all kinds of things, including puffer fish that they can eat freely without being poisoned.
What was given was immediately reported back, and more benefits accrued to the palace and Ming Dynasty. The village did not need too much cash.
For example
"Ling'er, put it on your head"What is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give it to Shan. Without waiting for Li Chang's response, he saw a light coming from the head of the little girl Ling'er.
"Your majesty, the hairpin of glass." "The little girl took out her pocket, took out two iron hairpins, and replaced the place where the hairpins were issued. The hairpins were thin and black. The hairpins were decorated and wide.
Zhu Yuanzhang took them in his hand and lifted them He stood up and took a closer look, changing the angle, "Why is this glass so beautiful?"
He thought it was so amazing. As the angle and light changed, the color began to change.
"There are many facets." , then the refraction and diffraction of light also increased, and it became what it is now, but it is not as good as the one made of diamond. This is cheap, and the cost is probably not a penny. ”
The little girl is not in a hurry and is not afraid that His Majesty will snatch away the things. She learned this from Brother Hanhan in the laboratory. Everyone can do it. It is so simple.
"It can't be sold. This technology can't be sold. Let's make it for the people in the palace first, and then we'll exchange it with the barbarians. How did you do it?"
A row of glass on the card that Zhu Yuanzhang was issued He was so fascinated that he didn't even know that the glass ones were far inferior to the diamond ones.
He looked at it again and handed it back, "It looks good. Help us make it in the palace. Make some inlays." Such glass that can be inlaid. "
"Okay" the little girl took it back, pinned it on again, took out the two small ones and put them into her pocket.
"What are those two?" Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried. I asked naturally.
"The small hairpins I plan to sell in department stores this year are made of iron and painted black. They are cheap, costing ten for a penny and can last a long time. ”
He shook his head and took out a few more and put them in Zhu Yuanzhang’s hand.
