Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 66
But then again, it’s paper money. The common people vote with their feet and feel that paper money is not reliable. In other words, Chuemon’s reputation is now at its peak, and the three major shareholders of the shogunate who issued the banknotes have a century-old reputation, and this has been carried out.
But after many people get the paper money, unless they need it immediately, they still run to the bank to exchange gold and silver coins. The feeling of holding the little sentence gold in his hand is indeed different, and the golden can give people warmth and beauty.
It’s just that there is a problem here, that is, if the poor get three melons and two dates, it doesn’t matter whether you change them or not. After all, I went back to the market right away. I earned one or two part-time jobs this month, and I have to go most of the time to buy rice and vegetables. There are so many people in the family waiting for dinner with their mouths open.
What the hell, are you going to dig a hole and bury Xiaojingjin in the ground and wait for the germination to germinate?
On the contrary, many people who have savings needs, or are in business and trade transactions, and who really need a lot of money feel the benefits of sufficient banknotes that can be exchanged everywhere.
In the past, Yucha had a limited period of time and limited stores. The ones opened in Osaka could only be exchanged at a designated two-storey house or commercial house in Edo. And if you put the money in and go to Edo with Haza, you have to pay the cash withdrawal fee.
Now these problems are all gone, and with 12 votes, any Japanese bank can redeem them. Anyway, I have to use it tomorrow, so what should I do, let them go to Shigeru Nara or Honchi Zendui, I will save trouble.
In addition to the intuitive feeling of some people, the entire Japanese market has gradually realized the benefits of sufficient currency!
Because it was a fully used precious metal in the past, with the development of the commodity economy and the continuous expansion of the market, metal currency cannot meet the needs of the market. The market is eager for more currency to meet the demand for exchange, but there is only so much gold, either it will be converted into bad currency, or there will only be a shortage of currency.
There are restrictions, procedures, and plans. The banknotes put into the market make the currency on the market come alive in an instant. This was reflected when Tokugawa Yoshizong carried out the “recasting of Yuanwen”. He reduced the gold content in the small sentence (but not unrestrained), which made the currency in the market increase, and the price of rice immediately rose for a period of time. As time passed, the income of the shogunate and samurai increased, and the market became prosperous.
Although the government is no longer the shogunate that relies entirely on the annual revenue of rice to maintain its finances, it is good for the whole society to stabilize or even slightly increase the price of rice.
The continuous introduction of paper money into the market makes the currency in circulation gradually begin to conform to the level of economic development, which substantially promotes the further prosperity of the economy. In disguise, it also promoted the use of banknotes, making ordinary people more willing to accept banknotes.
“The market in Edo has become much more active.” Although Matsudaira Qixuan is the eldest elder, he does not prevent him from caring about the situation of the vegetable market at the foot of the emperor in Edo.
“That’s good.” Chuemon was also happy.
The matter of issuing banknotes is definitely an act of stepping on a tightrope. One wrong step can lead to serious problems in society and even endanger the regime. So not only Matsudaira Qixuan was careful, but Chuemon was also careful.
Anyway, we have also made up our minds not to interfere with the operation of the Bank of Japan. Moreover, I have to make it clear with the ministers and Shizi Shimaru. I don’t even think about hitting the Bank of Japan if I don’t kick my legs.
The shogunate only needs to send people to audit, and the specific matters are negotiated by the three big bosses. They can do business and understand the market. We can strengthen supervision.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Songping Qi Xuanxu wanted to go along with Chuyouemon, but he didn’t want to cough violently.
“After the beginning of spring, it is common for you to cough.” Chuemon immediately asked Matsudaira Qixuan.
Our uncle Akashi, since the bomb attack, his chest, lungs and internal organs have not been as good as before, and he speaks like a broken bellows. After presiding over the National Princes Conference in the spring of this year, I felt a cough. Later, when the Yuan was changed and the constitution was announced, his situation became more serious.
“Oh, it’s an old problem.” Matsudaira Qixuan stopped coughing, and Chuemon handed him his handkerchief.
After careful calculation, Songping Qixuan is 40 years old this year (virtual age), and it is enough to call himself an old man. Think about him, and then look at ourselves. At the age of 41, it is really hard to accept the old age.
“You still need to take more care of the state affairs.” Chungemon ordered someone to serve tea to Songping Qi Xuan.
The main reason is that it is difficult to find such a co-producer, and some of the co-production’s qualifications are too low to be the boss at all. Some have enough qualifications, but they can’t cooperate with Chuemon in everything. Just like Shu Liu, the limit of his life is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the possibility of becoming the Prime Minister is too low.
As for Yoshida Songyin, he really has to wait until the elected cabinet is born and the constitution is promulgated before he can serve as the prime minister in accordance with the procedures. Now that the country is changing, it is necessary to appoint a minister who is highly regarded, and he is indeed not qualified.
I can’t let the definition of Shimadzu be the boss…
Chuemon looked at Shimadzu’s definition without a trace, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This year’s 25-year-old Shimadzu definition has no youth, but after all, he is almost old.
There are a few left and right, not a good choice.
Forget it, Songping Qixuan looked at his appearance, and he wasn’t at the point where he immediately kicked his legs. However, he has had internal injuries long ago, and now that he is getting older, he can take a good rest and work for three or five years.
“How do you think about opening the post office?” Chuyouemon and Matsudaira Qixuan sat down and moved on to the next agenda.
Japan Post is also a major department used to house the four warriors. Until Abe’s year, there were still 22,000 hereditary positions that were replaced by hereditary, and then he was smashed by his sharp hand. Now these days, it is not possible to place 108,000 people. Besides, the establishment of postal services is also a major event that is conducive to social development and at the same time strengthens the government’s control over localities.
“My minister has drawn up a charter.” Mizuno Tadashi and Abe looked at each other, and then took out a copy.
He is the president of the Railway Society, and the Post Office will definitely use the railways in the future. There is no harm in asking him for his opinion first.
Opening the film, Chuemon has ten lines at a glance. It’s not too bad. The postal staff, in addition to recruiting the old “flying feet” to build the framework, the leadership is drawn from Tokugawa Industrial and the old shogunate flag book, and the middle-level appointments are from the local old feudal kingdoms. Order Samurai. They have connections and power on the ground and are easy to work on.
As for the general postman, it must be the appointment of the local lower-level warriors of the Zhufans, to give them some subsidies, to improve their living conditions, and to allow them to have errands to avoid cranky thinking, right?
