Chapter 281 Chapter 124 Create a new coin to solve the problem
Wang Wan explained his problem: "If countries knew the difference between coins and wealth, they would definitely be wary of Da Qin, and it would be inconvenient The law of Shangshu is implemented; If the country didn't know it, they would hoard the coins of Qin. But where can't hoard and store coins? Why go to Da Qin? "
This is a good question. Where can't hoard and store coins? Why? Save your Da Qin?
How about I dig a secret room and hide it in a cave that no one knows about?
Others’ eyes fell on Li Nian, wondering how Li Nian would solve the problem. Anyway, they couldn’t come up with a good solution for the time being.
This is not because they lack intelligence, but because they have not considered the development of technology, let alone the possibility of using paper money.
Li Nian did not answer, and Wang Wan continued: "Unless Shangshu's method is only used once, but using it once will damage the 'national credibility' mentioned by Shangshu, then all countries will be on guard and will It is no longer easy to use, and it is not good if the 'national credibility' is lost. In the future of Great Qin! "
It is easy to trick the first batch of people. Even if people from other countries hoard their coins, they can be tricked. When the time comes, Great Qin will only need to invalidate the current coins and replace them with others. A currency that allows holders of old coins to exchange them for new money within a limited time period.
This has little impact on the people of Da Qin, because they are in the country and can exchange them in time, but the same cannot be said for people from other countries. If they are outside Da Qin and cannot exchange them in time, the coins they hoard will instantly change. A pile of useful metal.
But this method can only be used once. After Da Qin has done this once, people from other countries will definitely be on guard, and it will be difficult to do it again.
Moreover, it cannot achieve the purpose of controlling various countries. If you want to control various countries with this method, you must have a certain national credibility, and you must also have people from other countries willing to deposit coins to Da Qin.
This is why Wang Wan said, "I don't say that Shangshu's method can't be achieved. Even if it can be achieved, the impact will probably not be as great as what Shangshu said."
Wang Wan continued: "Third, the coins used in the Qin Dynasty are not difficult to cast, and there are people who can cast them, let alone other countries?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Wan As if he had discovered something, he said to Li Nian: "Shang Shu wants Da Qin to mint a new kind of money?"
After Wang Wan's words, others also reacted immediately.
If a new kind of money is minted that cannot be minted by other countries, and this new money is difficult to hoard and store in their own country, it is best to store it in Daqin, then the above problems can be solved.
But, can this new kind of money be created?
After searching their minds, they actually came up with a material, which is paper that is only available in Da Qin!
Create new money with paper?
This guy has such a bold idea!
Li Nian's words also supported their conjecture: "I do think so! The problem mentioned by the Prime Minister needs to be solved by creating a new kind of money."
"This new kind of money can only be made by Da Qin. Other countries cannot make it, and Qin can make it in large quantities. The materials for making this new money are considered precious in the eyes of everyone. "Expensive!"
"Only Da Qin can make it, other countries cannot" is to solve the problem that others can also make coins, as Wang Wan said, "the materials for making new money are considered precious by everyone" is to make it easier for people Accepting new money and "being able to produce a large amount of new money" is to prevent someone from hoarding new money and causing a money shortage.
"Some people may have thought that in today's Great Qin, paper is more suitable for making this new kind of money! Paper can only be made in Great Qin, not other countries, and everyone knows that paper is precious, etc. After knowing that the new money is made of paper, it will be easier to accept it. ”
Paper was common in later generations, but now it is a rare item. Candidates in the Xianyang University Examination are allowed to have their test papers taken away, and almost everyone treats the test papers as their own. Treasure it like a treasure.
From an era point of view, the Qin Dynasty was in 200 BC, which was far behind the ancient times. How could it be suitable for the production of paper money?
But if you analyze the environment and conditions of Da Qin, you will be surprised to find that Da Qin is actually more suitable than some later dynasties.
This is also the advantage of being early and backward, and there are few constraints and disadvantages. Some obstacles of later dynasties were not obstacles at the time of Da Qin, and they did not even exist. "Compared with coins made of gold, silver and copper, banknotes are relatively less afraid of hoarding by some people, and can also reduce the consumption of copper and other metals; banknotes are easier to carry..."
< br>Li Nian said many things in succession Regarding the benefits of paper money, he added: "As for countries being willing to store their coins in Da Qin, the main thing is to make them trust Da Qin and ensure that their coins are safe when stored in Da Qin, that is, Da Qin must have credibility."
"But reputation alone is not enough for all of them to store their coins in Da Qin. After all, it is just for storage. They can still store their coins in some hidden place and with someone they trust. Why go to Da Qin?"
For wealthy politicians, it is most important to ensure the safety of the money they store, even if they charge relatively high storage fees.
A well-known bank succeeded in this way, but when it could not protect the safety of depositors' property, it would quickly collapse.
“Therefore, at the beginning, we can provide them with certain benefits. For example, if they deposit their coins in Da Qin, Da Qin will give them interest every year, and the interest is...”
Li Nian After thinking about it, he gave an example: "Deposit one thousand new dollars. By the end of a year, this thousand new dollars can become one thousand and ten new dollars."
These words made some people frown. If they came to deposit money, even if they didn't pay Da Qin, Da Qin would still give them money?
Noting the expressions of these people, Li Nian asked: "Do you think Da Qin is losing money by giving them interest?"
Li Nian said: "These coins were made by Da Qin, give them some interest. , it is not a loss to Da Qin, and the benefits it can bring to Da Qin have exceeded the interest paid.”

“Furthermore, Da Qin can also take out the stored coins to make more money, instead of just leaving the coins there like a warehouse.”
This statement made everyone's eyes light up. Yes, you can also take out the stored coins to earn more coins. As for the ways to make money, everyone thought of a lot.
Zhao Gao asked: "But if you take out the stored coins to earn more coins, what if someone suddenly wants to take them out?"
After asking, Zhao Gao felt He asked a stupid question, how could Da Qin be short of money?
Da Qin can make money himself. If the stored coins are not enough, wouldn’t it be enough to make another batch?
Li Niandao: "I will reserve a certain amount of coins in advance to ensure that this does not happen!"
Noticing the change in Zhao Gao's expression, Li Nian said: "Fu Ling Zhao is thinking that if Da Qin's coins are insufficient and someone insists on taking them, then make another batch of coins?"
Zhao Gao bowed to Li Nian and admitted frankly. Said: "Gao indeed has this intention, please give me some advice!"
Li Niandao: "Unless there are special circumstances, don't do this. Don't think that Da Qin can make coins and just make money at will! Don't forget what Li said before, coins are not wealth!"
