Chapter 222

"Send real money?" Zhao Zhen murmured, and hadn't spoken for a long time.

No matter the people of the country, they have a pathological obsession with money, and they only want to go in and go out like taking their own lives. The same is true for the court. Once the treasury has no money, all the people will panic.

The earliest implementation of the entry into China and France was because the court had some financial allocations to the local governments, and copper coins were only out and not back, which led to a shortage of money in the capital, especially the central government lacked money, which seriously affected the authority of the court. In the most serious cases, people were not allowed to take copper coins out of the city gate, and money ban was implemented in the capital, which was abolished for less than ten years. Even merchants were doing business and carrying a large amount of copper coins through the state and passing through the province, they had to collect taxes, which was far less than the flying tickets of the Sansi.

Under such circumstances, Xu Ping proposed to speed up the three departments' money to be sent out, and Zhao Zhen had to be cautious.

Seeing Zhao Zhen hesitating, Xu Ping said again: "The spring coins and other things are said to be hidden in the ancients as springs, and their movements are called cloths. The treasury of the trunk is like a spring in the ground, in order to merge into rivers and flow to the world. If it is only hidden, the people will lack money, just like rivers entering the sea, without streams entering, and they will be exhausted sooner or later. Today, the money is distributed to be collected tomorrow, so that the folk coins will be continuously circulated. Your Majesty, you should have the skills to manage your finances, and you cannot fish in the waters!"

"But once you have made an example of real money, it will be difficult to change it back in the future. There are complaints. If you do that, I will be called a fool! Now the Sansi has no shortage of copper coins, but the future is not good. What should I do if I lack it? Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while. You have to think about such a major matter again and again."

Xu Ping held the hut and said respectfully: "This matter has been carefully considered, and there are benefits but no harm! At this time, Sansi's new business and shop have just started. If the copper coins in the hands of the people in the capital are cut off, they can't buy things, and Sansi's business will gradually shrink. If the people are not short of copper coins, Sansi's business will become more and more prosperous. How can they be short of money? And now everything in Sansi has just begun, where has the money earned? A year later, the money earned is probably several times that of the current one. How can Sansi's business be short of money?"

Zhao Zhen was excited when he heard this: "What? Will Sansi make more money?"

"Of course, less than half of the new business has started to ship. Only half of the business opened can produce tens of goods, but now it only produces two or three cents. Now there are only a few shops in the capital. When all the business is opened, the staff are all ready. The shops are probably going to go to Xijing, Nanjing, and even other big states. At that time, the copper coins collected were probably more than the annual tax. How could it be short of them?"

After a pause, Xu Ping said again: "From this month, the expensive goods in the Sanshi are not sold, even if they are dozens of trump card or hundreds of trump card, the wealthy and noble families cannot come to pay. I discussed with the Lord Kou that the shop would learn from Xichuan Jiaozi and issue paper coupons that they should protect themselves to solve the urgent problem. Because there is no conclusion yet, there is no memorial."

After repeated repetitions during the Tiansheng period, Jiaoziwu in Yizhou has now embarked on the right path and his ideas are basically unified. No one has mentioned the abolition of Jiaoziwu anymore. Moreover, the iron coins in the Chuanxia area have also stabilized, which is a great virtue. In addition, the Sansi presided over a set of "Money Law Books" compiled by the three departments, which has already explained the pros and cons of the matter clearly and thoroughly.

When Zhao Zhen heard that the Sanshi wanted to learn from Jiaozi in Yizhou, he became interested and leaned forward and said, "The Jiaozi in Yizhou has been operating well and stable in the past two years, and Jiaozi has also collected a lot of interest. If the Sanshi can learn it and run it in the capital, it is indeed a good thing. If the capital is not enough, the internal treasury can allocate one or two million guan."

In recent years, the customary thing for the Inner Canal has given three sanitary 800,000 jin of money every year, and other loans are not counted. With this money, the emperor felt that he had controlled the Three sanitary and had a clear mind. This year, it seemed that the Three sanitary did not need the support of the Inner Canal Canal. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but wonder, and when he heard that he wanted to issue paper coupons, he offered to give the capital.

Xu Ping did not react for a moment and said, "This matter is still under planning, there are no detailed rules, and the three departments are now sufficiently responsible and do not need to borrow from the intra-treasury for the time being."

Zhao Zhen did not give up and said, "Now the capital is sufficient. If you scrap the money and send real money, the copper coins in the three warehouses will be sent out soon. Where can I get the capital? Moreover, Jiaozhi was destroyed last year, and the property from Shenglong Mansion transported from the capital city, gold, silver and cloth into the pile sealing warehouse. There are also some inconvenient things to seal the piles, and they are also in the inner warehouse. The inner warehouse has money now!"

Speaking of this, how could Xu Ping not understand?

After breaking through Shenglong Mansion, Sugar was responsible for withdrawing some cash, gold and silver as military expenses, and most of them were returned to the capital and sealed into the pile warehouse as usual.

The sealed pile warehouse was built by Taizu in the past. The main part was the property seized after the capture of the Later Shu Jiangnan and other countries. The original intention was to be used as military expenses for the future recovery of Yan Yun. Now the court has no intention of recovering Yan Yun, but the sealed pile warehouse is still there, which is a relative part of the inner warehouse. The property has always been only in and not out. Jiaozhi's capture naturally also needs to be included in the sealed pile warehouse, but some that are not suitable for long-term storage are entered into the inner warehouse, which is considered as the emperor's private wealth. Zhao Zhen always felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen kept saying that he wanted to pay the money in the inner treasury, Xu Ping knew that he was going to interfere in the finance. After thinking about it, one day when the time came, the time for Sansi's shopping coupons would sooner or later become the bank coupons of the established official bank. If a bank was set up at that time, the emperor of Sansi's shop would not interfere. When it comes to the establishment of a bank, he would definitely not sit idly by. In order to maintain his status, the emperor must compete for financial power with Sansi, and the inner treasury must at least have considerable influence. So instead of trouble at that time, it is better to absorb the capital of the inner treasury now so that the emperor can maintain his influence on the financial system through the inner treasury.

After figuring out these, Xu Ping held the scepter and said, "In this way, I thank Your Majesty. In the past few days, I will issue coupons, and I hope to allocate some capital from the internal treasury. As for how much, I will report it later."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "The internal and external warehouses are all wealth for the country. I am afraid that the three departments will spend too much money. I just keep some money in the internal warehouse just in case, but it is not my personal use! The three departments are useless for a while, and it is normal to borrow some money in the internal warehouse!"

After hearing Zhao Zhen take the word "borrowing" seriously, Xu Ping knew in his heart that the money was to be taken back from the inner treasury. Although the three sects borrowed from the inner treasury often did not repay the money, as long as there was no edict saying that the debt was exempted, the accounts were always there. The eunuch in charge of the inner treasury would go to the three sects to collect the bill when he was unhappy. If the word "花" was used, the two parties would have no accounts and the money was given for nothing.

Today's Sansi is not as poor as before. It depends on the look of the inner warehouse, but I am afraid that the inner warehouse will have to rely on these capital to live a life of dividends in the future. Now the inner warehouse feels that it has a lot of money, and when the business becomes more developed in the future, it may not be possible.

After talking about the issue of shopping vouchers in Sansi, Xu Ping rewinds and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, since that's the case, then from next month, the salary of officials in the capital will be abandoned and paid for real money, how about it?"

"Why should I send copper coins to officials? Since the people lack copper coins, why not think of other ways?"

Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, there are more than one million men, women, young and young in the capital. Where do the copper coins in their hands come from? Fundamentally speaking, it is nothing more than the money and grain sent by the Sansi to the officials and soldiers, as well as the money for going out to buy flowers from the palace. The copper coins sent by the Sansi undoubtedly occupy a large part of the head. If you want to disperse copper coins, you naturally find a way out. If the officials have copper coins in their hands, they have to spend them. Whether it is buying rice, oil, or drinking and rewarding, the money is all in the hands of the people, and thus spread to the capital. Therefore, the most convenient and fast way for the Sansi to disperse copper coins is to distribute them to the officials and let them disperse them among the people. Other methods, such as repairing roads, dredging rivers and canals, and hiring the people can also disperse copper coins, they are always small, and they are only limited to a temporary period of time, not a long-term solution."

If industry and commerce develop, it will naturally be the fastest way to increase the money supply with large investment goals. But now there is obviously no such condition. Remuneration through the imperial court's civil servants is the most realistic way. Start with officials, then to public officials, then to hundreds of thousands of troops, and then to craftsmen in various business operations in the three departments. This channel can be supported for a long time.

Zhao Zhen was still silent. He always felt that this matter had little to do with him and had a great impact. The emperor instinctively felt that such things were unreliable.

After a while, Zhao Zhen asked Xu Ping: "According to what you said, how should you do it if you abandon money and pay real money?"

Xu Ping said respectfully: "I gave a memorial to clarify the problems encountered by the Three Divisions now. The people in the capital have no money to use. Your Majesty just need to approve the memorial and think that it is not easy for officials to be in the capital. All the money will be abolished and real money will be issued, and the three Divisions will do as they please."

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Zhao Zhen's face looked better. Look at Xu Ping: "That's all the way. But I have something to say first. You have to think about this matter properly and you can't make any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not make any mistakes in the matter!"

Zhao Zhen never let go. The most important thing is that if the matter was proposed by the Sansi, then the officials who were affordable were grateful to the Sansi, Kou Yu and Xu Ping, which was something that the emperor could not tolerate. If the matter was proposed by the emperor, the matter would become the monarch's kindness, and to be grateful to the emperor.

The grievances are attributed to oneself, and the graces are given to the superior. The greater the official's work, the clearer this point should be. If you go on, you will be ruling the decisions above, and if you have any achievements, you will be said to be able to do it and your credit. Such officials cannot tolerate any kind of monarch. Although Xu Ping could not bear all this silently like Wang Zeng, even if you recommend others, you will not know that it was recommended by him, but the basic principles can still be distinguished.

In fact, as long as you lose money and give real money, even if Zhao Zhen issued an edict on the surface, everyone will still understand that Xu Ping did it. It does not harm you, so why embarrass the monarch?
