Wang Zeng lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said, "This method is feasible. This year, not only Guangnan, but also set up a Maritime Warehouse in Mizhou, and even the commercial road of Goryeo is open. The fastest update of Japan has been closed to the country, not only isolated from this dynasty, but also has no contact with Goryeo and Khitan. But I heard from Wang Bin that there are actually many maritime merchants who trade there, but most of them under the name of barbarians, and some people have married and had children in Japan. If Mizhou Maritime Warehouse is well done, the commercial road to Japan is not impossible to find a way. I heard that Japan is much larger than Goryeo, and its country produces a lot of gold, so trading is very beneficial."

"My husband said it is right. When the trade routes are first opened, a large amount of goods will be required, and silk is the most popular among the barbarians. If there is really no way, you can collect some of the silk and transport it to various market departments for overseas trade. The difficulty now is that neither the three departments nor the internal warehouse can afford so much cash."

Wang Zeng said helplessly: "The inner warehouse still has cash, and at least a few million can be used. Since Xu Ping presided over the Salt and Iron Department, the Sanshi has never borrowed money from the inner warehouse in the past two years. However, it is probably a bit difficult to get the emperor to take it out at this time. By the way, I heard that Henan Prefecture is selling cotton coats recently? Because the world is short of money, there are fewer customers selling there, which is not as lively as cotton cloths were sold some time ago."

Cai Qi's eyes lit up: "Young master wants to make an idea on the cotton coat? This method is feasible! I just don't know if Jingxi Road and Henan Prefecture are willing. After all, the court is now owing them a lot of money!"

Wang Zeng thought for a while and said with a smile: "If it really doesn't work, let the emperor issue an edict to Xu Ping, it's hard for the Secretariat to come forward."

If you want to divide the power now, Xu Ping is Zhao Zhen's own person, and he is not closely related to other forces in the court, and he does not have the ability to establish a new mountain. Moreover, Li Yong has a relationship with a second level, so it is difficult to talk about business affairs, so Zhao Zhen can cry to Xu Ping. It is sometimes a way to do business in private affairs.

When Lu Yijian and Song Shou returned to the Political Affairs Hall, not long after they sat down, Xiaohuangmen came over to let several prime ministers enter the hall to discuss matters. Cai Qi was left on duty, and the three of them followed Xiaohuangmen out of the Political Affairs Hall and entered the Da Nei from the Chuigong Hall.

In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Zhen sat upright and was secretly lucky. The weather is very cold today. The huge Chongzheng Hall is like an ice cellar. Even though he was wearing cotton clothes inside, Zhao Zhen still felt that it was hard to bear the cold. In order to maintain etiquette, it was difficult for the ministers to grow charcoal when the king and his ministers meet, otherwise everyone would bend over and roast the fire to make it. In order to show that the king and his ministers are united, Zhao Zhen himself would not grow charcoal. To be honest, it is not easy to maintain this habit.

Lu Yijian and the other two went to the hall to perform rituals. Zhao Zhen entered the hall and gave him a seat and tea.

After these routine etiquettes, he said: "Today, I summon your family to the palace to discuss the fact that the tickets in Henan Prefecture cannot be exchanged. We must implement the new policy of money houses across the country. Let's sit down, the Chief Censor Du Yan, the Chief Censor Chen Zhizhong and the Grand Secretary of the Three Sessions will arrive soon. This matter is important and requires gathering ideas."

The three of them received the order to thank them and sat there slowly drinking hot tea.

It won’t take long before Du Yan, Chen Zhizhong and Yan Shu arrived at Chongzheng Hall, and they were given seats and began to discuss.

Chen Zhizhong first briefly introduced the current difficulties encountered by Sansi and Jingxi Road, and finally said: "This year, there are a lot of cotton cloth on Jingxi Road, and the whole world sells. Foreign merchants went to Henan Prefecture to sell cotton cloth, and they all exchanged tickets for local state troops according to the customs, and then went to Henan Prefecture to exchange cotton cloth for cotton cloth. According to the inspection, because the number of flying tickets accumulated by Henan Prefecture in buying and selling cotton cloth is no less than 30 million yuan, which is even greater than the two taxes received by the imperial court this year. Where are so many copper coins in the world? Now the three departments are really unable to repay it."

Not all merchants use flying tickets, and many people will buy cloth with light goods such as gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk and silk. In fact, the income of Henan Prefecture this year is quite amazing. It is considered only commercial tax, which is far more than Kaifeng Prefecture, which was the best in the world before. However, since the three departments cannot repay the flying tickets, these achievements have been temporarily covered up.

After hearing Chen Zhizhong's words, Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "What if the tickets from Henan Prefecture are not redeemable?"

Chen Zhizhong was stunned and then replied respectfully: "If you don't repay me, if you don't repay it, first, Henan Prefecture will not be able to settle the bill from other prefectures and camps on Jingxi Road, which will affect their operations in the coming year. Another way, the official exam for Jingxi Road will be a mess this year."

Du Yan next to him said: "That's true. Just look at the end of the year. The officials of the West Jing Road complained a lot about this matter."

Du Yan was the chief censor and the judge of the Ministry of Personnel, and was in charge of the examination for officials. Recently, officials on Jingxi Road may not show their performance in the examination for the examination. They were very resentful, so Du Yan naturally heard of it.

After hearing this, Lu Yijian just nodded, and didn't say anything, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Yan Shu looked at the two prime ministers' expressions more serious than the other, but he didn't speak up and couldn't help but mutter. The atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall was not normal recently. Everyone knows that the confrontation reached such a great level.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's eyes turned to him, Yan Shu had to bite the bullet and said, "As far as I see, it is natural that there are many troubles to not repay the tickets in Henan Prefecture, but the new policy of money houses has only been tried for one year on Jingxi Road, and there are still many disadvantages. The risk of pushing it to the whole country is too great. Let's think of a way to help the three departments overcome this difficulty, so don't push the new policy of money houses."

Du Yan is the censor and is not good at expressing opinions on specific policies, so he just sits there and listens.

Zhao Zhen turned to Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng and asked, "What do you think of the two husbands?"

Lu Yijian bowed the hut and said in a deep voice: "Return to Your Majesty, I think the future of the new policy of the money house is unknown and cannot be pushed to the whole country. Don't think of good strategies."

Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him, Wang Zeng had to hold his scepter: "I also think that the new money house policy has shocked the world too much, and the sudden implementation may cause big trouble, so I'd better find another way to do it."

The two prime ministers had the same opinion, so the matter was actually decided. Zhao Zhen was already suspicious, and he could still discuss Xu Ping's people here. Xu Ping was not here, and Chen Zhizhong had not yet received his financial approval and would not ask for his opinions. The proposal of the Sansi to implement the new policy of Jingxi Road Money House nationwide was actually rejected.

Chen Zhizhong was not surprised by this result. In fact, he had already expected it. He said at this time: "Both husbands think that it is not feasible to implement the new money house policy across the country. It seems that there is indeed a risk, so they have to discuss it later. But now it is the end of the year, and the tickets from Henan Prefecture must be redeemed, otherwise the three departments will not be able to explain. What should be done about this matter? Please give me some advice." (To be continued...)
