Chapter 113 This thing can win the hearts of the world!

Ye Chi smiled slightly and explained: "Silver note is a voucher that uses paper as a carrier to represent a certain amount of wealth!"

"With this banknote, you can exchange it for the corresponding amount of money at the bank!"

"Mr. Ye, what are the benefits of this silver note?" Fusu couldn't help but ask.

"The advantage of silver bills is that they are easy to carry." Ye Chi explained, "Compared to carrying a large amount of silver, silver bills are undoubtedly lighter and safer."

"As for the second one..." He paused, then continued, "It is to win the hearts of the people in the world!!"

"To win over the hearts of the people?" Ying Zheng frowned and thought, "What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, if everyone deposits money into the bank and exchanges it for silver bills, then the money will not be lost easily, nor will it be wasted due to various accidents." Ye Chi said with a smile, "In this way, the people will naturally have more trust in the bank and even the court."

"In addition, if the money houses use these deposits to lend money and earn interest, it will further promote the prosperity of our Great Qin's commerce, and the empire will also develop better as a result. This is the intention of taking over the world!!"

When everyone heard Ye Chi’s words, they were all amazed!

There was a glimmer of enlightenment in Ying Zheng's eyes, and his gaze was shining, as if he had foreseen the earth-shaking changes that this new type of silver note would bring to the Qin Dynasty!

Li Si took a deep breath, his heart was shocked beyond words, and he was full of admiration for Ye Chi's brilliant ideas!

Fusu was even more excited, as if he saw a new era slowly unfolding on the territory of Daqin because of Mr. Ye! !
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Chi smiled slightly and continued:
"Of course, in order to ensure the authority and security of the banknotes, I suggest that the laws of the Great Qin be printed on the back of the banknotes!"

"This move is to warn those who attempt to forge counterfeit banknotes, to let them know that this is no different from treason. Once verified, they will be severely punished!"

"At the same time, let the people of the world understand the importance of this silver note. It is not just a piece of paper, but also represents the credibility and law of the Qin Dynasty!!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly and praised: "Ye Chi, you have considered it carefully. This method is very good! I will immediately order the craftsmen to print the laws of the Great Qin on the back of the banknotes to demonstrate the majesty of the court!"

Li Si also echoed, "Lord Ye's plan is brilliant. It can prevent counterfeiting and demonstrate the law of the court. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Ye Chi smiled slightly and said modestly: "I just put forward some superficial opinions."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly and patted Ye Chi on the shoulder: "Ye Chi, you have made great contributions this time, I will definitely reward you handsomely! As for the silver note, I agree! "

The next day, the sky was bright with morning glow.

In the court, all officials gathered and stood solemnly.

The First Emperor sat high on the Dragon Platform, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the courtiers in the palace.

"My dear ministers," he said slowly, his voice echoing in the court, "I have something to discuss with you today!"

He paused, allowing the noise in the court to die down and everyone's eyes to focus on him.

"Recently, Mr. Ye from Fengchang Temple suggested to me that our Great Qin could establish a new method of mutual trade, called 'money shop' and 'silver note'!"

The officials began to whisper to each other.

These are new things to most officials, and they are curious but also a little confused!

The First Emperor raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I believe that these two things will be of great benefit to the economic development of our Great Qin! Therefore, I have decided to promote the use of money houses and silver bills in our dynasty."

After he finished speaking, the First Emperor took out a silver note from his sleeve and shook it gently. The paper sparkled under the light of the court.

All the officials stared at the piece of paper in the First Emperor's hand, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

The paper was unique, with a texture as delicate as silk and a touch as smooth as warm jade, just like a treasure from outer space.

An old minister could not help but ask in surprise: "Your Majesty, what is this? I have never seen such a strange thing in my life."

There was a bit of awe and curiosity in his voice, as if he was facing a mysterious treasure! The First Emperor smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "This is the paper of the new currency, the silver note, which will be introduced soon. My dear ministers, this paper is not only of extraordinary quality, but also carries the key to the reform of my Qin bank."

Upon hearing this, all the officials exclaimed in amazement again.

They gathered around and wanted to take a closer look at this magical paper.

Everyone's face was filled with surprise and anticipation, as if they had foreseen the arrival of a new era.

The First Emperor smiled and replied, "Pass it to Li Si, and let all of you ministers review it one by one."

Li Si took the banknote respectfully and passed it carefully from left to right among the officials one by one.

Every time someone heard the message, they could hear exclamations and shock.

Some marveled at its texture, some marveled at its craftsmanship, and it seemed as if a small wave had been set off in the court!

"There are such strange things in the world?!"

"It feels like silk to the touch and satin to the eyes. It is truly a divine object!!"

All the officials were whispering to each other and discussing the matter.

Their faces were filled with surprise and confusion, as if they had witnessed some miracle.

The First Emperor sat quietly on the Dragon Platform with a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

The court at this moment was no longer as dull and serious as before, but because of this small silver note, it was filled with surprise and expectation.

Just like throwing a stone into the water, the ministers began to talk about it.

In the court, officials vied with each other to ask the First Emperor, wanting to know the specific meaning of money houses and silver notes.

A civil servant first asked: "Your Majesty, what exactly are these money houses and silver notes?"

The First Emperor sat on the Dragon Platform and began to explain the confusion of the officials in a loud voice: "The money houses gather the wealth of the people for deposit and withdrawal, just like the water in rivers. A little bit accumulates into a lot and can irrigate thousands of hectares of fertile fields."

“Merchants do not need to carry a lot of money when traveling. They can easily trade with just a deposit slip. This is one of the benefits.”

He paused for a moment and observed the reactions of his ministers.

Seeing the officials looking thoughtful, the First Emperor continued, "Speaking of silver bills, they are lightweight paper money that can be used as a substitute for money circulation."

"A piece of silver note is as light as a feather, but it can be exchanged for money. Traveling merchants no longer need to worry about the long distance and heavy coins. They can travel around the world easily with just the silver note. This is the second benefit."

The officials had different reactions, and the voices of discussion surged up like waves, filling the court.

"Your Majesty is wise. If this policy is implemented, it will greatly benefit merchants and common people." A civil servant stroked his beard and praised, with a gleam of approval in his eyes.

However, some ministers who were military commanders also expressed doubts and shook their heads, saying, "Can such novel things really be as convenient as Your Majesty says? Don't expect them to cause any trouble."

"Yes, although this strategy is brilliant, it may be difficult to implement." Another veteran minister also expressed his concern, frowning.

"Your Majesty is wise. Money shops and silver bills are indeed convenient." An old minister stroked his beard and agreed.

In the court, the sound of whispering was heard one after another, as if a silent debate was unfolding fiercely.

The officials either nodded, shook their heads, whispered, or pondered, each expressing their different views on money houses and silver bills.

"But what if these novel things are imitated by villains?" Suddenly, another young official raised his doubts.
