Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming was still a little worried about their situation.

Both of these designated areas are extremely sensitive.

Once Fang Yuanjian and Xishu gradually take over, Hua Yunhong will have to keep a close watch on this place for many years.

Although it can be regarded as expanding their territory, it also means that Fang Yuanjian and Xishu need to spend more energy to take care of these areas.

Originally, Xishu was reluctant to take it, but later, in the area allocated to them by Qin Ming, some minerals were discovered, as well as several natural forests, and the output there was quite rich.

Now Xishu is willing to come.

They even arranged several officials specifically responsible for liaison, stationed here with 800 soldiers, for fear that Qin Ming would hand over the land originally allocated to them to Fang Yuanjian.

"Your Majesty, how about sending someone to urge them on?"

Cao Chuan thought about it and started to give Qin Ming some suggestions.

The Western Regions are now facing financial difficulties and can no longer provide them with much help.

We can only let Xishu find a solution on its own.

Qin Ming did not respond to his suggestion.

There is a saying that goes, "A good cook cannot cook without rice."

Western Shu has fallen into such a state that forcing them is nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul.

By then, the hole will become bigger and bigger and it will be really difficult to recover.

When he thought of this, even Qin Ming felt a little embarrassed.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, a figure suddenly came from a distance.

The person who came was Elder Song.

"what happened?"

"I heard that you have been contacting Xishu recently?"

Qin Ming would not hide many things from Elder Song, who was at this level.

Upon hearing this, he informed him of the situation in Western Shu.

Elder Song seemed to have anticipated this and whispered:

"At a time like this, all you can do is give silver."

"Give silver? Absolutely not!"

When Cao Chuan heard this, he didn't care about Qin Ming and quickly spoke up to stop him.

The reason why he did this is actually very simple.

Everyone knows that the Western Regions are short of silver. Although the imperial court has silver, it does not want to make them develop the habit of waiting for funding.

Elder Song said he would give silver, but we are short of silver now. Once a group of people are transferred from the Datong Sect, it will not be enough.

Only by thoroughly investigating the corruption within the Ministry of Construction can the funds be replenished.

This kind of corruption is difficult to avoid, and most of the people who led them to rebuild the Western Regions were their own brothers.

In order to prevent Qin Ming from investigating them thoroughly, Cao Chuan gave a reminder.

"How are you going to give it?"

Qin Ming was a little curious about what Elder Song said.

"Money makes money. Issue more silver notes and gradually use silver notes to replace the role of silver."

Elder Song spoke in a deep voice, but his words were full of ambition.

"You want Xishu to recognize the silver notes from the Western Regions?"

Qin Ming quickly realized what Elder Song was thinking.

He didn't want to be a sucker and directly inject a large amount of silver into Xishu to help it.

Instead, he planned to push Daqian's banknotes over.

In this era, there were large and small money houses within different dynasties.

These banks all have their own silver bills that can circulate on the market.

Daqian had previously brought many money houses under the control of the imperial court, which was considered to be the unification of the silver bills on the market.

But this does not affect other countries.

Over there, the application scope of Daqian's silver notes is still relatively small.

If we can take advantage of the opportunity to aid Western Shu, send Daqian's banknotes over there, and open a money shop to connect multiple places in Western Shu.

Maybe we can take this opportunity to withdraw Daqian's banknotes.

As expected, after Qin Ming opened his mouth, Elder Song corrected him:

"It's not about recognizing the silver notes from Xishu, it's about recognizing the silver notes from Daqian."

Qin Ming was very pleased that he could find the target so clearly.

"It seems you have helped them to rectify the banks in the Western Regions."

"Yes, as long as you nod, I can send a letter to ask them."

When Cao Chuan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If that's the case, they don't need too much silver, they just need to make some silver notes.

To put it bluntly, the value of silver bills still depends on the credit of the money house.

All the money houses in Daqian have been taken over by the imperial court. With Qin Ming and the imperial court as their endorsement, there is naturally no need to say much about their credit.

In theory, this is a good idea.

It is even possible to promote Daqian's silver notes into the territory of Western Shu.

If the silver notes can be recognized by the surrounding dynasties, Daqian's right to mint coins will be expanded to an unprecedented level!

This is a good thing.

Qin Ming did not agree directly. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said:

"It can be implemented, but the money comes from the court and must be returned to the court after collection. The total amount of silver notes in the Western Regions cannot increase by more than 30%."

"The remaining amount will be borne by the local governments in the Western Regions and will be repaid within one year."

"Your Majesty, we need to call officials from all over the country to discuss this together."

Elder Song knew that he could not hide his little thoughts from Qin Ming.

Originally, he thought that he could bypass the court and ask for subsidies directly through this method.

You can also make use of these issued silver notes.

Quickly make the entire Western Region prosperous again, and then they will no longer panic when doing anything.

And all this only requires the consumption of Daqian's credit.

As for the surrounding kingdoms, they witnessed the rise of Daqian with their own eyes.

I also know that Daqian is very powerful now.

Naturally, they would believe in the credibility of Daqian.

From a certain perspective, what they did was like getting something for nothing.

But Qin Ming had already issued bills, and even allowed these bills to spread rapidly throughout the entire Daqian territory.

It was because of these measures, coupled with their mastery of the technology of electrolytic silver, that the imperial court solved many debt problems and became wealthy.

At this time, it is impossible to allow the Western Regions to increase their wealth through such means out of thin air.

This will only make their bubbles grow bigger.

As for Elder Song's little thoughts, Qin Ming naturally saw through them at a glance.

This little trick is nothing in front of him.

"Just tell them that even if they want to issue silver notes, they still need to have silver in their own hands. If they don't have silver in their bank, and someone comes with a silver note to exchange for silver, they won't be able to produce it, and that would damage Daqian's reputation!"

Elder Song originally thought he had come up with a good idea.

But after Qin Ming's reminder, he immediately thought of the consequences.

It is indeed a relief for them to issue silver notes now.

However, if the other party comes with the banknotes to exchange for silver and Qin Ming cannot take it out, it will damage the reputation of Daqian, and Qin Ming will definitely not forgive them.

If this situation really happened, Elder Song would definitely not dare to take the blame himself.

If Qin Ming hadn't specifically reminded him, Elder Song might have really done it out of self-interest.
