A grand opening ceremony and a court discussion of important civil and military officials also set up a national policy plan for Zhaowu for seven years.
In fact, this year, it is still no different from previous years. The emperor's obvious national policies, each of which was the fiscal and taxation land reform that began to be piloted in the second year of Zhaowu, is still in progress for several years.
The northern region is still good, but the Jiangnan provinces have a clear understanding of the distance and the formation of Daheng’s financial and tax customization is still far away.
This year will inevitably be another year for the continued adherence to previous policies, and it is also a year for Daheng to still be replenishing his strength.
At the beginning of the year, the expansion and renovation plan of the capital formulated by the Ministry of Works was approved by the emperor, and immediately, the expansion of the capital was started in full swing.
The plan is very simple, mainly aiming at the expansion of Baichuangang shantytowns and the renovation and repair of old and dilapidated areas in the capital.
Simply put, it is to allow this ancient capital to better undertake various functions brought about by the changes of the times.
Among them, the most important thing is economic functions.
The emperor tried to replace agriculture with commerce, and also tried to enhance the economic functions of the capital, thereby enhancing the central control over wealth.
After all, under the limitations of the times, the center of the court must be a trinity of military, political and economic, and the rule of the center can be stable.
The main economy of the farming nation is naturally agriculture, and the emperor's prosperity of commerce is also in some way to weaken the hidden dangers that the capital is not an agricultural center.
The establishment of the Taxation Department and the establishment of the Maritime Bureau directly under the Central Committee were all for the purpose of allowing the imperial center to better control the wealth of rural and commercial enterprises in the world.
There is a country first and then a family. Only when the country is strong can the family be stable.
The most fundamental thing for a country to be strong is money!
Just like the Southern Song Dynasty in history, the Southern Song Dynasty was not undepressed or corrupt, but it was so depressed that it could last for so many years in front of the Mongol Empire, which was scattered across Europe and Asia.
The fundamental reason is also money!
Commercial trade is extremely developed, and even if the country is corrupt, it is not short of money!
Even though there are astronomical annual monies offered every year, they can easily be brought back through exchanges between the two countries' commercial trade deficits.
For a country, if you don’t lack money, no matter how difficult the situation is, there will be enough operational situations.
Today, Daheng, whether it is financial and tax policies or the establishment of functional institutions, or even the construction of roads and rivers over the years, everything is running towards this goal.
It can be said that today's Daheng has created a complete commercial economic environment, and the rest is just to slowly fill and repair it.
However, this commercial economic system still lacks the most critical link and the most critical pillar foundation.
That is... currency!
Daheng’s currency is complex.
Thanks to historical reasons, every emperor ascended the throne and issued the current currency.
The same is true for Daheng today. During the Ming Dynasty, the copper coins issued by various emperors during their reign were prevalent in the world. After Daheng established the country, the Zhaowu Tongbao copper coins issued were also circulated throughout the world.
In addition, the large amount of foreign silver flowed into the country. Under the prosperity of business, the circulation of precious gold and silver coins, various official silver, private silver, official gold, private gold...
Today, the chaos in the currency in Daheng World is simply unbreakable and chaotic.
It was also under this situation that Daheng Money House came into being. With the popularity of Daheng Money House, it has replaced the monetary function of gold and silver in a sense and has become the first choice for commercial trade.
But obviously, under this, Daheng currency lacks the most important attribute of currency since ancient times.
That is, the seigniorage tax!
The banknotes in the banknotes are as much silver as possible to deposit, and the amount of silver notes.
Constant value, equality.
This can be called a currency, but it is definitely not Daheng’s currency!
Since ancient times, it has been extremely normal for the court to mint coins and use quality and fire consumption to earn seigniorage tax.
It’s like a copper coin, 90% of copper and 10% of iron. The court made ten copper coins and earned a copper coin.
If you have 80% copper, 20% iron, if you have 10 copper coins, you will make eight.
This method of seigniorage, as long as it is not ugly to eat, is basically the most harmless source of fiscal revenue for the court.
After all, at the source of money, you make money. As long as you eat it, it is not too ugly and the people cannot notice it at all, so it is naturally extremely harmless.
The further development of seigniorage is naturally a paper currency.
Song Jiaozi, Ming Baochao, and even paper money from the world in later generations...
At this point, it would be completely a waste of money.
Originally, a constant amount of copper was needed to cast a copper coin. Even if it was secretly reduced, it would not be too obvious. After all, the people are not all blind.
And how much does a piece of paper cost?
The court set a banknote to be worth a copper coin, which is the value of a copper coin. The banknote to be worth a liang of silver, which is the value of a liang of silver...
In short, as long as the court has a strong reputation and makes paper money circulated and becomes the country's main currency, the court can easily plunder the wealth of the people of the entire country with a piece of paper.
Of course, this also follows the laws of the market. The consequences of excessive issuance of Mingzhibao money is worthless.
But even if it is an issuance that follows market laws...
A piece of insignificant paper is enough to be the country's largest and most harmless wealth income!
And this is only in the country.
Since ancient times, China has been known as the Central Celestial Empire. The reason is naturally because of its strong country, it radiates to surrounding countries and all countries come to worship.
When paper money radiates to neighboring countries with national strength, and even replaces the currencies of other countries with trade exchanges, it occupies the currency status of other countries...
The economy of a country is under the control of Daheng's currency.
At that time, it will be... a real soldier who will defeat others without fighting!
This is the foundation of the American power in later generations.
US dollar hegemony, economic colonization!
Daheng is in an era of natural disasters, but at the same time, Daheng is also in an era of the best.
The Age of Discovery brings the beginning of world exchanges!
Countless interests are exposed without any defense, and the rules of order in the world are not yet formed.
A huge piece of cake, a piece that is enough to make Daheng and Han people, is waiting for Daheng to divide and even to eat it alone!
Plunder the world's wealth and provide the people of a country.
Then this country, before the plundering order collapsed, must undoubtedly stand at the top of the world.
The basic wealth has expanded from Daheng to the whole world, and there is no doubt that even if the historical cycle cannot be violated.
A very small number of people eat meat, and most people drink soup, but this soup is the size of the world.
The cycle of history will inevitably prolong a lot, and the national destiny of Daheng has flourished since ancient times!
