Chapter 73: Clearing the land of the world and taking the test! Chen Han smiled and said: "Village Chief, it seems that you have remembered what I said before, but what I say now is different from directly monetizing silver.
Precious metals, especially gold and silver, have become a consensus among the people. Everyone knows that this thing is valuable. You can not allow it to become currency circulation, but you cannot allow people to regard it as a store of value.
Moreover, from the perspective of the theory of monetary development history, the transition from the silver standard and the gold standard to a national credit currency must be a process.
Modern economists generally believe that banknotes can be issued without relying on reserves only if the following two conditions are met: First, if the level of social and economic development is sufficient to handle the circulation of a certain amount of banknotes, no reserve is required.
Second, people must believe that the government will continue to adhere to the restricted issuance of banknotes to maintain the value of the currency.
Before the credit of treasure banknotes has been re-accepted by the people, it is unrealistic to simply issue national credit currency in such a big step, unless it has been implemented for a period of time and the economy and the court's credit are satisfied.
This requires the court to increase internal economic circulation, increase commercial construction, and open overseas markets.
Once the Ming Dynasty is built into the center of world trade and the Ming Dynasty's banknotes return to the right track, the Ming Dynasty's banknotes will become the world's currency and can harvest the whole world. "
After Chen Han finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look forward to it.
Now the Ming Dynasty is still the center of the entire world, promoting domestic demand, and maybe it can really reach this level.
Chen Han said again: "First of all, we must understand that gold and silver are just a stone at best. There is nothing to be reluctant to part with.
When the credit value of the treasure banknotes is truly established, whoever has more silver at that time will be more likely to become a liability.
If the emperors all thought this way, they would be free to carry out reforms. "
Zhu Biao nodded and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it took nearly 400 years for his descendants to achieve a dream, and he did not want the Ming Dynasty to follow this old path.
Now that Chen Han is here, it's natural to hear how Chen Han will reform the treasure banknotes. If the treasure banknotes can really appreciate again and become a currency that can truly bring happiness to the people, Zhu Yuanzhang's merits will be much greater.
He himself has always believed in the theory of cause and effect, and has always believed that because he killed too many people, the people around him left one by one.
Especially his deceased grandson Zhu Xiongying and his first wife Queen Ma.
And Zhu Biao, who heard what Chen Han said, still has one year left.
All of this caused a shadow in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and also made him understand whether he had killed too many people and was punished by God.
Otherwise, why would the closer people around you be, the more likely they are to take the first step before you?
Chen Han hasn't told him yet that before his death, the King of Qin and the King of Jin will leave before him, making Zhu Di the oldest person in the royal family.
Sometimes I really have to believe in fate.
Ancient people were still very superstitious. If Chen Han could assist him in getting the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and leave a good name behind him, then he would be considered a man of virtue. Maybe, because he If you accumulate virtue, your eldest son Zhu Biao will not have to die young.
Chen Han is right. The Ming Dynasty wants to issue currency with national credit in one step. People will not agree with it at the moment. Moreover, taking such a big step will completely waste the existing silver stock of the Ming Dynasty.
The Age of Discovery has not yet arrived, and large quantities of silver have not yet arrived. The existing silver still has a value-preserving effect. As long as it is not used as currency, it can be used as an anchor.
Moreover, the first step is to establish the trust of the people. The credibility of Ming Dynasty banknotes is extremely low. Whether the people are willing to use it or not is a matter of two minds.
If silver is still abolished at will, the people will not have a transition period. At that time, they will be like a wolf coming, and the people will be even less willing to trust the court.
After listening to this, Zhu Biao felt that Chen Han was a stable person and did not hesitate to talk. Even if he was just chatting and talking about history, Chen Han's logic was still Chen Han understood very well that the silver standard was retrogressive, while the gold standard had been popular for hundreds of years.
Gold is still a precious metal that maintains its value and still maintains an important position, which is enough to show that gold is much more scarce than silver.
In this case, gold and silver can still be used as anchors to slow down the depreciation rate of treasure banknotes.
Baobao was first anchored in gold and silver, and then slowly transitioned to national credit currency. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the precarious credibility of Baobao might be saved.
Then Chen Han said, "Of course, if you want to implement it thoroughly, you need two tools to ensure it.
The first one is to clear all the land in the world.
Although the imperial fish scale book was updated from time to time, it was not necessarily possible to completely update the land due to some gentry and cunning people playing tricks and tricks in it.
Clearing all the land in the world once again is the most necessary condition for the implementation of dividing the land into acres.
In order to complete the survey of the country's land in a short period of time, Zhang Juzheng innovatively invented the examination method to directly evaluate the performance of officials' work.
Zhang Juzheng implemented the examination method that year, directly skipping the performance evaluation of officials by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so that officials all over the world must complete this work as quickly as possible.
Of course, the examination method was upgraded to performance appraisal in later generations.
Since the households in the world can be divided into nine levels, then the quality of the examination can also be divided into nine levels, which are directly linked to rewards and punishments.
The lower and lower grades will be directly dismissed on the spot, and the lower and middle grades will be placed on probation for one year without further dismissal. The lower and upper grades will be fined half a year's salary and will not be promoted for three years; The middle and lower grades remain unchanged, the middle and middle grades will be rewarded with one month's salary, and the middle and upper grades will be rewarded with three months' salary; The upper and lower grades will be rewarded with a half-year salary, the upper and middle grades will be rewarded with a one-year salary, and the upper and upper ranks will be promoted to one level.
Make the inspection system directly transparent, and at the same time make the work evaluation dimensional, divided into the degree of disturbing the people, the degree of people's satisfaction, the completeness of the clear land, the length of reporting time, etc., as the basis for evaluation.
The Inspectorate directly participates in the evaluation.
The emperor should not focus on managing everything. He can inspect the Minister of Household Affairs, the Minister of Personnel, and the Inspectorate.
The Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Personnel, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate inspect the local chief envoys and envoys.
The envoys and envoys were inspecting the following roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties.
Convey pressure layer by layer.
This will, to a certain extent, stimulate officials to exert their independent initiative and reduce administrative costs.
This is a modern performance appraisal method. Of course, this method is based on individual cases and cannot be generalized.
This is called linking work effectiveness to performance, bonuses, and promotions.
Whether an official is competent or not should not depend on whether his articles are colorful or colorful, but should depend on his ability to do things. "
