Zhang Juzheng: Chief Assistant of Ming Dynasty Finance

The soul of the modern investment bank elite passed through the Ming Dynasty and became the 26-year-old Zhang Juzheng. At the beginning, a coffin blocked the yamen. Inside were 970,000 pieces of waste paper and white slips that could not be redeemed with salt. Shanxi merchants roared: If they don't redeem the money, they will cut off the food and grass for nine sides! The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were helpless, but he smiled: "Why press for debt? By securitizing these IOUs, I can make them circulate at three times the premium." From then on, the painting style of Ming Dynasty changed drastically: Salt Yin became a tradable certificate, and the first "Yan Yin Exchange" appeared in Taiyuan history; Water transportation has been transformed into a logistics and financial network, and money orders have hidden murderous intent; Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, became the chief security officer of his overseas trading company; Even a whip became his ultimate weapon to build a silver empire and implement "digital governance"... Strict party encirclement and suppression, Qingliu impeachment, emperor's suspicion. He holds the account book in one hand and a sharp knife in the other, cutting a bloody path between the account book and people's hearts. "What I want to rebuild is not a mountain of silver, but the cornerstone of credit for an empire." This is an extreme operation that uses modern financial thinking to completely transform an ancient empire. See how Zhang Juzheng worked his way up from a prefect to becoming the "First Financial Assistant of the Ming Dynasty" in charge of the world's financial power. A sentence was left in the history books: "There is no Zhang Juzheng in the world, and eternity is like a long night - especially the night shift of the Financial Secretary."
