The autumn wind was blew, blowing the trees all over the green and yellow. Yang Ji looked at the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves in the yard outside the room, and then looked at a "gold and silver road" in his hand, and couldn't help but find out.

This kind of two-color currency is rare in ancient times. After thinking about it, Yang Ji thought about it and felt that only the "golden knife" made by Wang Mang could barely be associated with the two-color currency, and the two-color currency he was holding had no gold thread at all.

Wang Mang's "golden knife" is dotted with gold threads no matter what. Now the yellow and white "gold and silver" are just a mixture of brass and white copper. Strictly speaking, they are just another form of copper coins.

How is this two-color two-color coins made with white on the outside and yellow on the inside?

It seems that the production cost will not be higher than the face value of "Yi Mo". Of course, Yang Ji didn't know the specific production process, and he didn't want to know it either, he just felt curious.

Brass was used to cast copper coins on a large scale during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the Xuande furnace during the Xuande period was made of brass. The brass products looked golden and somewhat similar to gold. Of course, Yang Ji was familiar with brass products, but he never thought that brass could be used as two-color coins.

The emperor's ideas are indeed always unique, and the way to solve problems is often stunned. At this moment, Yang Ji, who was waiting for the emperor to summon him, was playing with the "gold and silver road" in his hand and thought of many things.

Now is the end of the autumn of the fourth year of Mingde. It has been nearly four years since the emperor ascended the throne. The long-simmered new currency "Mingde Tongbao" has begun to circulate, and the supporting two-color currency "Gold and Silver Mo" has also begun to circulate.

However, this is only the "first stage" promotion. First, Guanzhong, Yizhou, Jingxiang and other places issue new coins. Only next year will the new coins be gradually promoted throughout the country.

This arrangement is to give the people of the world a "adaptation period". The court can make timely policy adjustments based on the experience and lessons learned during the first phase of promotion to prepare for the next comprehensive promotion of the new currency.

Now, the "market feedback" after the launch of the SGD has come out.

The exquisitely crafted "Mingde Tongbao" money, although the new money is only two zhu and four silks, it does not encounter much resistance when promoted. The people are quite welcome to the new currency, and the circulation effect of the "Jinyinmo" money is as expected in advance, not very good.

Ordinary people do not accept this kind of big money that is "one for a hundred". Even if this big money is yellow and white, it is rare since ancient times, and the people basically dare not joke about their wealth.

They were afraid that if they exchanged for such big money, they would soon depreciate, resulting in the destruction of their life savings. Therefore, even though governments in various places made a lot of publicity, the "gold and silver" money was basically very few.

The court would not be too anxious because it is said that a major measure will bring major "benefits" to the "Golden and Silver Mo", that is, the "Guangling Silver Exchange",

The specific operation of the silver exchange is not something that Yang Ji needs to care about, but he heard that some officials have submitted a statement and suggested that in order to promote "gold and silver" money, the court could require the people to pay rent and transfer, and they must use "gold and silver" to pay a certain amount of money tax.

Money tax is tax paid with money, and the physical tax paid in kind. The so-called physical tax is corn in the field rent and silk in the household transfer.

The officials on the table believe that as long as the government forces the people to use "gold and silver" when paying taxes, they will not be afraid that "gold and silver" will be ignored.

There are many suggestions that follow, and Yang Ji firmly opposes them because such measures seem reasonable, but in fact they will only harm the country and the people.

The reason is very simple. If the government really requires farmers to pay taxes, part of the tax must be paid in the form of money tax (gold and silver). Then the farmers must find ways to exchange for "gold and silver" by themselves, and in this way, they will be exploited.

Farmers do not have "gold and silver" in their hands. They need to sell grain or cloth to exchange for "Mingde Tongbao", and then go to the government or merchant to exchange for "gold and silver".

Since you have something to ask for, you have to be merciless. In this case, those clerks and businessmen will inevitably refuse to exchange them in a ratio of "one to one hundred".

Farmers have to pay taxes but cannot afford it. They can only exchange "gold and silver" for a ratio greater than one to one hundred according to the other party's requirements. In this way, the burden on farmers becomes heavier.

Yang Ji expressed his opinion on this suggestion, but after many meetings, the Zhengshi Hall did not adopt this suggestion of "quick effect", so the future of "Jinyinmo" is still based on the "Silver Exchange".

Yang Ji didn't know whether this medicine could work, and he didn't have time to care. He just hoped that the new currency would bring real benefits to the people and not become a tool for corrupt officials to make money.

As I thought about it, I looked at the clock and it was almost time. Sure enough, footsteps sounded outside the hall. After a while, two eunuchs entered the hall and saluted him.

......

"You, the chief police officer, are really accused of being accused of being a dog. How many people hate you so much that they are so angry that they are too angry, but they dare not argue with each other openly. They always criticize others and scold them. I am annoyed when I read the memorial."

"After counting, it's almost four years, and your seat should be moved, otherwise I'm in a difficult situation in Chang'an City!"

"Don't worry, I will make them feel that you are miserable. The anger in their hearts has dissipated a little. When you come back in the future, it is also great to meet and smile to eliminate your grudges..."

In the hall, Yuwen Wen was talking to Yang Ji, but his tone was strange, just like a judge pronounced the suspect's crime one by one before the verdict was announced.

Yuwen Wen's expression was relaxed. Although Yang Ji was not as funny as a hipster, he did not have any grievance. Since he served as the director of the Gyeonggi Police Department, he knew that he would definitely end up with his "end" today: to work in the frontier and exile together.

There are so many powerful people in the capital. If you want to strictly enforce the law in the capital, you will inevitably offend a large group of people. Yang Ji has been loyal to his duties in recent years, causing the powerful people to "mourn everywhere". Of course, the popularity has taken a sharp turn.

Everyone knows that Yang Ji is the emperor's minion, so he dare not deal with him openly, but the dirty thing about slapping the ghost fire in secret has never stopped. Seeing that the "resentment" is getting deeper and deeper, Yu Wen Wen, as the supreme leader, must express his attitude.

What is the attitude: Yang Ji was devoted to the country and was loyal to his duties, but he was just inappropriate in his actions and was angry with the public, so he should be punished appropriately.

Since ancient times, hawks and dogs have been chamber pots for their owners and thrown them away after using them. Now, Yuwen Wen wants to throw Yang Ji out to calm the public's anger, so he arranged a good place for the other party: western Liaoning.

In the bitter and cold land in western Liaoning, it is also a border. Yang Ji, director of the Gyeonggi Police Department, is a real-powered official in Beijing. Now he has been transferred to the Yingzhou chief executive as a local official. In the eyes of outsiders, he is like exiled.

It's just that outsiders think this is the case.

Yuwen Wen sent Yang Ji to western Liaoning, firstly to let Yang Ji leave Chang'an to avoid the limelight, causing him to be "forced to leave Beijing"; secondly, to prepare for the future battle in Liaodong.

As for "calving public anger" and other things, Yuwen Wen has never treated his own people unfairly, and of course he will not "bury bridges across the river", nor will he let Yang Ji go to western Liaoning to drink the northwest wind.

"Beiyang Trading Company is doing a good job in the Liaodong Peninsula, but western Liaoning also needs to be prepared. When you go to western Liaoning, the first priority is to expand Liucheng, and secondly, to clear the Lulong Road."

After Yuwen Wen finished his joking opening remark, he took the map and related information and explained many matters to Yang Ji.

The Turks would not die for a while, but Yuwen Wen still had to take time to deal with Goguryeo. In order to increase the success rate, he sent Yang Ji to the western Liaoning station. In addition to consolidating Yingzhou, he also had an important task to Yang Ji.

Yuwen Wen pointed to the Yingzhou area in the map and said solemnly: "The various tribes of Sumo seem to have had conflicts with Goguryeo. In the future, the border reports, saying that all signs indicate that there may be tribes going south to surrender to the dynasty. How do you plan to get along with these tribes?"

"Are you following the story of Li Tang, doing the 'city' thing, or......"
