Chapter 27 "On Money Shortage"!

The Acting Department returned to the Three Departments. Although the account books sent by each department case are not very important, it is very helpful for Ouyang Bian to understand the operation of the entire Three Departments.

During this period, he focused on this, constantly summarizing and pursuing the operating rules of the three departments, and had some experience in this.

Although the start was a bit difficult at the beginning, Zhao Zhen’s arrangement for him was indeed effective.

Working in the Acting Department did provide him with an angle from a high place to overlook the entire Song Dynasty.

When observing a country, you can observe it from the perspective of customs and customs, or from the system, but the best angle is to observe it from the economic perspective, because this is one of the lifebloods of the country.

When observing the economy of the Song Dynasty, the best place is in Sansi, and the best place in Sansi is in Fudian.

Ouyang Bian deconstructed the economy of the Song Dynasty hungrily.

Facts have proved that what you get on paper is always shallow.

In the past, Ouyang Bian thought he knew the economy of the Song Dynasty, but when he really sank into the data, he realized that the economy of a big country was not that simple.

Especially at this time, the Song Dynasty, which was the world's largest economy, was even more so.

Ouyang Bian keenly discovered that although the three departments have unified financial power, they do not have a unified financial thinking.

Compared with the five-year development plan of China in later generations, which is global and forward-looking economic development plan, the economic policies of the Song Dynasty lag behind, and it is solved even if the problem arises.

Official economic institutions are purely tax collection and control agencies, and there are few measures to support business.

This is very consistent with the logic of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was considered a dynasty that was quite friendly to business in all dynasties, but it was only relatively speaking.

There are few people in China who have positive comments on business in all dynasties. It is good not to pull the blame, and few people who actively encourage and support it.

This deep learning changed his mind a lot. Later economists' research on the economy of the Song Dynasty cannot be said to have no right direction at all, but the details are still not in-depth enough.

This study made Ouyang Bian ignore the change of seasons.

Ouyang Bian has been in the Sansi for a long time, but he is well aware of the changes in the world.

This year, the Agricultural Bank of China has made efforts to lend to some poor self-cultivated farmers, so that their seeds, fertilizers, farming tools, and oxen have guaranteed their seeds, fertilizers, and there were no droughts and floods, and the whole country has achieved a bumper harvest.

Under Bao Zheng's leadership, he borrowed money from the Agricultural Bank of China to purchase grain, avoiding the harm of grain from farmers, and the treasury of the Song Dynasty was also slightly richer.

The development of business is that the large amount of copper coins absorbed by the Agricultural Bank are released through small commercial loans, making the market, which is troubled by money shortage, become active for a while.

This is equivalent to the central bank's release of water in later generations to stimulate the economy. Moreover, because it dried up for too long, the market suddenly burst out with huge energy.

Judging from the financial reports in the first two quarters, economic growth reached 15%!

Of course, this economic growth was calculated by Ouyang Bian through later calculation methods and let the clerks of the Youdian Department calculate it.

Although the results are not so accurate because the data is relatively rough, it is certain that the overall economic situation is getting better.

This allowed Ouyang Bian to see the potential of the Song Dynasty's business.

The emergence of an Agricultural Bank that performed its central bank's responsibilities, which made the market perform so well, which shows that the market in the Song Dynasty had great potential.

The agricultural harvest and the commercial tax surged, these are all Bao Zheng's political achievements. Bao Qingtian's nickname has been replaced by Bao Caishen recently.

Only a few people know Ouyang Bian's contributions.

Of course, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Bao Zheng and others understood that these were actually Ouyang Bian's contribution, so they would also make it clear to Zhao Zhen, but this matter cannot be rewarded in public, but Zhao Zhen can always make up for it.

When autumn began, Liu Neiquan sent a official letter, asking Ouyang Bian to serve as the chief officer of the Iron Case.

This is quite rare because the Job Department is an internal supervisory agency of the Third Department, and the Iron Cases are the subject of supervision. Now the head of the Job Department is asked to serve as the head of the Iron Cases. Isn’t this a referee and an athlete?

However, this incident did not cause criticism, because the supervisory agencies in the three departments, in addition to the Acts Division, also have the other fourteen departments, and they can also take on the supervision of iron cases.

China emphasizes legitimateness, so it pays great attention to etiquette, especially the court meetings that represent the face of the court.

The location of the court meeting is very important. Different locations mean the importance of the court meeting.

For example, when a grand ceremony needs to be held, it must be held in Daqing Hall to be solemn enough.

The Chang Dynasty in Wende Hall is a ritual that is insignificant. The main model is that the prime minister takes the squad and brings officials who are not responsible (that is, they are not sent) to salute the empty imperial throne, which leads to a tragic situation when he arrives at the Zhenzong Dynasty. "The two squads are less than thirty or forty people", which is almost abandoned.

The morning court held in Chuigong Hall was an extremely important morning court. The participants included "prime ministers, Privy Councilors and those below should be close to officials, and the martial arts squads." There were also stone seats set up outside the gate of Chuigong Hall to facilitate the officials' standing squads.

The court ceremony of Chongzheng Hall and Yanhe Hall is relatively flexible.

First, time is free, second, it can handle more private work, such as reviewing memorials, third, the emperor can summon people he wants to summon, fourth, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

Unlike the ceremonies in the previous halls that were very solemn, the prime minister had to stand up and report things. These two halls could be given seats, tea, etc.

Zhao Zhen is now in Chongzheng Hall. After meeting a few people, Zhao Zhen decided to take a break.

Zheng Dayong came over and said, "Official family, do you want something to eat?"

Zhao Zhen smashed his mouth a little bitter and wanted to eat some sweet things, but remembered the last time the imperial doctor dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he could only shake his head: "Forget it, is there anything interesting? Tell me something."

Zheng Dayong smiled and said, "There are quite a few, but there is a book written here, and Your Majesty can take a look."

Zhao Zhen shook his head tiredly: "I just want to take a break, don't look at it."

Zheng Dayong smiled and said, "It was written by the top scholar."

Zhao Zhen said oh, "Ji Mo wrote it, take it and take a look."

Zheng Da held a thick stack of paper with both hands, Zhao Zhen frowned and picked it up, and the cover was written in beautiful thin European style - "On Money Waste".

Zhao Zhen suddenly became serious.

The money shortage has not happened recently. Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the money shortage has been happening, which has been a problem that has long troubled the rulers of the dynasty.

Amid countless shortages of money, the problem of shortages of money has always existed since he came to power.

During the Qingli period, not only did Sansi lack money, but even ordinary people had no money to save. The total amount of money in the entire society seemed to be seriously insufficient.

The most serious areas are concentrated in the southeastern routes, which is also the reason why the counterfeit coins in the southeastern routes are rampant.

There is a deal if there is demand!
