The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1453

[1453.Chapter 1379 with the same text]

As for the silver notes of one tael, five cents, and one cent.

This is generally the case.

These paper tickets contain Chinese poems, poems, and the treasures of the Ming Emperor… They have everything, except that they have nothing to do with the Zhenla Kingdom.

Currency is the most basic tool. Everyone needs it. Everyone can take risks for it. All activities of the military and civilians are inseparable from it.

Everyone has such a close relationship, just more or less.

So think about it, doesn’t everyone need to see the Ming Emperor or even the Ming Duke Qi at any time?

Thinking more deeply, the words on the back are not textbooks that people carry with them at all times. Every word in them will feel familiar over time.

Some people even naturally want to understand what the words in the squares above mean.

If things go on like this…what will it become?

If in Chenla, everyone would be able to pronounce hundreds of surnames and have three-character scriptures. With this foundation, plus those newly learned Confucian scholars, scattered in every corner of Chenla, ten, twenty, fifty years , a hundred years later, will there still be Zhenla?

There was fear hidden in King Chenla’s eyes.

But he found that there was nothing he could do.

What else can you do?

Looking at the five ministers getting closer and closer to Siyang Trading Company and Xishan Bank, as well as the frightened imperial guards.

King Chenla knew very well that the only thing he could do was to shut up, or… laugh!

All is lost.

Depart from Chenla Palace.

Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin sat on the carriage with satisfaction.

Liu Wenshan was sitting in the car, his face surprisingly calm. He opened his eyes and said slowly, “Liu Jin.”

“Ah…” Liu Jin raised his head and looked at his father.

He got to know his father again. It turned out that this great Confucian still had a sword hidden in his bones. He could kill people without blood, which was terrifying.

Liu Wenshan looked at Liu Jin and continued slowly: “Now that the arrangements have been made, the next step is to let the Zhenla Kingdom settle down. Xishan Bank needs to purchase the old coins immediately. Of course, it must be purchased at the current price, and it must be launched immediately. New coins, in addition, in Chenla… the Xishan Bank needs to have enough reserves to cope with possible runs. With credit, including the King of Chenla, and even countless princes and ministers of Chenla , as well as merchants, soldiers and civilians, once they accept the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, then… with the help of the Siyang Commercial Bank, the Ming Dynasty will have a firm foothold in Zhenla. This… is also a signal to other countries, telling them that they. The problems in the country can only be solved by Siyang Trading Company and Xishan Bank. If they do not obey, then King Zhenla will be their fate. If they are willing to obey, Zhenla can still serve as a model for the world. This is worthy of encouragement and promotion, so… within half a month, all the chaos in Zhenla must be calmed down.

“My son knows that he will live up to his father’s expectations.”

Liu Jin nodded obediently.

Liu Wenshan smiled.

Regarding this, Liu Wenshan trusted Liu Jin very much. Liu Jin was a person who could completely stand on his own.

It’s just… sometimes it’s not easy for my brain to turn around.

Pursing his lips, Liu Wenshan continued.

“After half a month, when the situation in the Chenla Kingdom is stable, we will then contact other countries. All conditions will be subject to the Chenla Kingdom. If anyone has doubts…”

Liu Wenshan’s eyes flashed as he spoke, and he couldn’t help but He paused, swallowed, and continued to speak.

“If the currency loses its credibility, the situation in the country will inevitably be unstable. Thieves are everywhere, and the morale of the military is even more shaken. Then… you, the Four-Ocean Trading Company, should find some important officials in this country and have private contact with them. It is difficult for a three-legged toad to But isn’t it easy to find this king? There are many of them on the street.”

Liu Jin understood what his father meant and nodded heavily at him.

Without cooperation, Xishan Bank and Siyang Trading Company would work behind the scenes, and secretly communicate with some high-ranking ministers to provide support. In this crisis-ridden time, it would be enough to put the rule of many kings in jeopardy.

Either compromise, or the ancestral temple is not preserved.

The carriage was halfway through its journey.

Liu Wenshan suddenly got out of the car.

Along the streets, there were ragged and barefooted people everywhere.

They were dark-skinned, sitting on the ground, either holding their children, or snuggling lazily. When they saw the carriage stop, with dozens or hundreds of guards lined up around them, they were all so frightened that they wanted to retreat.

Liu Wenshan got out of the car, but his eyes couldn’t help but feel moist.

This is the capital of the country, and if the capital of the country is like this, what will happen to Angkor after the disaster?

Hell on earth is beyond imagination.

A brave child stepped on the gravel with bare feet.

Subconsciously, the child opened his hand towards Liu Wenshan.

Both hands were folded, showing a begging look.

His parents seemed to have seen him and were surprised by his boldness. They looked anxious in the distance and shouted something to him.

Liu Wenshan was silent, bowed and touched the child’s head, and murmured: “If Zhu Menfan has sympathy, why should he let King Zhenla come and see what his people are like.”

Subconsciously…

Liu Wenshan looked back around.

Liu Jin opened her mouth wide and covered her sleeves tightly, looking very reluctant.

Liu Wenshan’s eyes darkened and he stared straight at him.

Liu Jin reluctantly took out a pastry wrapped in lotus leaf from her sleeve.

Liu Wenshan took it and placed the high point in the child’s hand.

The child was immediately overjoyed and shouted, and then countless children came out.

The hungry children surrounded Liu Wenshan and others, and everyone looked at them expectantly.

Liu Wenshan looked around at the children with sallow faces and skinny faces, shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile on his lips, then looked back at Liu Jin and gave instructions.

“Think of a way. Siyang Trading Company should prepare some coarse grains and set up a porridge shed here. Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least… it can make people’s conscience feel better.”

Liu Jin nodded: “Oh.”

Liu Wenshan broke away from the child and started again. Got in the car.

Sitting on the sofa, he frowned deeply, thoughtfully.

Liu Jin sat across from him, looking at his father strangely.

He still felt sorry for his pastry. In order to save money, he was usually reluctant to eat it. He was really greedy, so he pinched off a small piece to satisfy his craving.

Liu Jin suddenly thought of something: “Dad…”

“Huh?” Liu Wenshan came back to his senses and looked at Liu Jin inquiringly.

Liu Jin pursed her lips and said seriously.

“Dad, my son feels that he is too reckless in front of King Zhenla.” He paused, with hesitation on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and asked,

“If the Zhenla man refuses to submit, dad Aren’t you putting yourself in a dangerous situation?”

Liu Wenshan smiled, his eyes dark, and he explained to Liu Jin seriously.

“A gentleman waits for the opportunity and moves, like a sharp sword. If it doesn’t move, it will be used. If it moves, it will see blood sealing its throat. This is not reckless, but prepared. Do you know that the scene in the palace was as early as January for my father? I have rehearsed this in my mind dozens of times before, I am a swordsman and others are fish and meat, should I still be polite? “

It turns out… this is not a momentary impulse.

But come prepared.

Liu Jin: “…”

Damn it…my father and uncles are so awesome.

The only thing he was lucky about was that he recognized a grandfather. Otherwise, if he were an enemy of such a group of people, he would really be crushed to the point of leaving no bones.

very scary!

It’s really scary.

But at this time, Liu Jin felt full of happiness in her heart.

Just like what some people in later generations would call a small blessing.

happy!

………

Zhenla Kingdom quickly stabilized.

As soon as Xishan Bank opened, it was immediately overcrowded.

People can’t wait to exchange their old coins for precious coins immediately.

Ordinary people may not know the creditworthiness of Baochao, but merchants in Zhenla have more or less heard about it.

With merchants taking the lead, many merchants even hung up signboards directly in front of their shops and only accepted treasure banknotes. At this time, the treasure banknotes were implemented very quickly, spreading rapidly like a plague.

Many people in Zhenla exchanged countless pieces of scrap metal for pieces of paper.

Although the exchange price has caused many people’s net worth to shrink a lot.

But for them, being able to survive the immediate crisis is enough to satisfy them.

Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Zhenla issued a royal edict, and all the rebels immediately laid down their weapons and let the past go.

At the same time, although the national treasury was exhausted, Zhenla Kingdom finally borrowed a sum of money from Xishan Bank and distributed military pay, and the morale of the military began to stabilize. The troops preparing to counter the rebellion have also begun to sharpen their swords.

Everything… is developing for the better.

The new Confucian scholars began to move around to appease the hungry people. At the same time, they also recruited many rebels.

More people are still immersed in learning.

Treasure money is unfamiliar to most people.

As for the lifelike person on this exquisite treasure banknote, they need to learn to identify what ten taels of silver look like, whose face should be on the five taels of silver, or one tael, five qian… one qian.

Only by learning the differences between various types of banknotes can you ensure that you will not be deceived when trading.

They work hard to distinguish different Chinese characters. Even people who live in remote areas and are illiterate regard this as a top priority.

Especially when I heard that in some places, some lawless people actually took one-money treasure notes and pretended to be one-two-four to commit fraud. As soon as this news came out, people had to be on guard even more.

People try their best to distinguish, for fear of missing a detail.

The text composed of squares gradually became familiar.

At least… the first thing most people need to understand is one thing…

that is, the front is a young man wearing a python robe. This is a penny, but any guy who looks like this is worthless!
