Chapter 89 Someone who is crazy
After the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a decree about money.
The loss of five stagnant money is a death sentence.
But I can't stop it.
Because the profit was too great, the Japanese tried to mint money, but the sizes and quality of the mints were uneven, and the market did not recognize them at all. Goryeo was even worse, and 90% of the mint money was scrap. In the Goryeo market, Song coins were the mainstream.
With the development of market economies in various countries, bartering has lagged behind and money is needed to protect the market.
This is why Japanese merchants sold their own goods in Quanzhou at one-tenth of the Lin'an Prefecture, and it is not an individual case, but a large number of them.
Japanese need Song money.
Half of the earth needs Song money.
Han Jiang used to like the red paper pieces the most. Now, he likes shiny things, such as gold.
Since the matter of minting has been decided, Han Tuozhou began to seriously study the specific operationality of this matter. Han Tuozhou was sure of the first batch of copper coins, but it was OK to do it once, but it would be troublesome to do it too many times.
Han Tuozhou said, "Brother Jiang, how long will it take for you to get copper?"
"If it goes well, it will be around March next year, but if it doesn't go well, May."
Han Tuozhou: "There is a record in the Three Finance Department. Last year, the official minted coins was 5.7 million jin. Five years ago, the Emperor of Taishang issued a second copper ban. The copper collected was 3 million jin, but it didn't work. According to the algorithm of the Ministry of Revenue, at least 30 million jin of coins were needed on the market of Lin'an Prefecture to spend at least 30 million jin more coins."
"Money shortage." Han Jiang read in later economic history.
He even dared to say that he had studied it very deeply, but the details were definitely not as detailed as Han Tuozhou knew.
Han Tuozhou nodded: "Jiazi has become waste paper, and then there is a silence. Now I am using Huizi. The usual Huizi is only worth 400 people now."
Han Jiang really understood that the printing of paper money was not restricted, and the official Song Dynasty had no credit, so this result was inevitable.
Of course, soaring prices, inflation, etc. are also part of the reasons.
At this time, the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty must have nothing to do with this reason, it is purely because the Song Dynasty's official lack of credit.
Han Jiang is very confident.
"Well, this problem can be solved. Dad, if others don't do it, we can do it. It's us, not the court." Han Jiang particularly emphasized the court and us.
"Can?" Han Tuozhou didn't believe it very much.
Han Jiang secretly glanced at Wu Song, but stopped talking.
Wu Song was happy: "Why, you treat your uncle as an outsider?"
Han Tuozhou saw that it was not about hiding it from Wu Song, but about Wu Song in Han Jiang’s words that were afraid of being embarrassed to say, so he immediately said: “If you want to say anything, let your father listen to it, is it bad or arrogant.”
Arrogant?
Han Jiang doesn't think so. In terms of the wisdom of the court, Han Tongqing went through several streets in seconds.
When it comes to fighting with others, his ancestor, his current adoptive father, Han Tuozhou, is just platinum against iron slag, and he is not even considered black iron.
But when it comes to money, Han Jiang is full of confidence.
Han Jiang said: "Dad, I can't do politics, I don't have this level of leadership. I may do it in a village, but I definitely can't do it in a state. But when it comes to money, I am the ancestor of playing money. When the time is right, copper coins are auxiliary coins, and the main money is another kind. Let me keep it a secret. The time is not ripe now."
Copper coin standard, silver standard, silver coin standard, gold nugget standard, gold exchange standard. This is a step-by-step upgrade.
Wu Song laughed: "Crazy, crazy, you are crazy, how old are you, and you are still a member of the money. If you haven't read much of this book, it's not called the ancestor, it's called the Grandmaster."
Han Jiang can still distinguish between ancestors and masters.
Han Jiang was very serious: "Uncle, I am the ancestor who plays with money."
The first time I said it might be a slut, but the second time I said it formally was not a slut.
Han Jiang's attitude made Han Tuozhou and Wu Song a little confused.
Han Jiang continued:
"I studied hard for seven years and had not read the Four Books and Five Classics, so I learned a skill and played with money. I traveled all over the world, and I have seen the ancient Roman city, the Colosseum, and the Temple of the Paleon in the Western Qin Dynasty. I have seen the houses of the wealthy Western nobles who used gold. I also knew that being able to dig out silver ore could make a super large silver mine of 100 million stones of silver."
Next, Han Jiang repeated the sentence for the third time: "I, Han Jiang, are the ancestors who play money."
Wu Song was stunned, stunned.
As his identity, no one dared to talk to him with such a crazy attitude.
Today, I met it.
However, Wu Song saw that Han Jiang's eyes were filled with a strong sense of confidence. Han Jiang's tone was that neither of the two husbands in the court were so confident, and of course they were arrogant.
Han Tuozhou coughed lightly: "How do you say it? Apologize to your uncle quickly."
Wu Song waved his hand: "Are you saying true?"
"real."
"Where is that mine?"
"Uncle, it's not the time to say it. That mine requires 100,000 blood to dye it red. When I get that mine, it's when copper coins retreat to the next level."
"Silver money, wonderful." Han Tuozhou was a child and received real aristocratic education and cultural education.
After Han Jiang reminded him, Han Tuozhou suddenly realized that if there were standard silver coins, the problem of money shortage could be solved. Whoever handled this matter would be able to slaughter the treasury of the seven countries. You should know that the surrounding seven countries used all Song copper coins.
At present, the imperial court has no choice but to use silver to send taxes to the treasury because it does not have enough money.
Merchants use silver bricks and gold bricks for bulk commodities. The weight is both standard per pound.
Wu Song asked again, and Han Tuozhou interrupted him: "Brother, this matter is a bit far-reaching. It would be too early to mention it in five years, but it would be almost the same in ten years."
"Ah, I just want to dig for money."
"I want to do it too." Han Jiang smiled very happily.
Han Tuozhou smiled: "When it comes to new money, there should be a good pattern on the back, and there is a secondary painting at home. It's good, the old street scene of Bianliang City."
"painting?"
"Follow me."
Han Tuozhou took the two of them to the warehouse at home. There was a small warehouse in the warehouse, and there was a small iron door in the warehouse. After entering, there was a stone wall. Han Tuozhou took out a box.
"Be careful, this painting is ten, seven and a half feet."
Damn it!
Han Jiang's eyes widened: "This is the map of the river along the Qingming Festival."
"Yes, a painter from the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting and Calligraphy and Painting was presented to Huizong. Bianliang fell, and someone in the Han family happened to be in charge of the secretary. These good things were naturally brought back and a whole boat was pulled. Later, Emperor Gaozong asked, our family handed over the cut fakes. This is the original work."
Han Tuozhou pointed to the beginning of the painting with an inscription.
