Zhao Zhen turned his head, looked at Wang Zeng, and asked, "What does your husband have to do?"

Wang Zeng held the scepter and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have heard a story that I told you to make you smile. . The fastest update was that a fool bought a piece of plain silk for 800 cents, and he wanted to dye it red when he got it. The work required for the dyeing workshop was 1,200 cents, while his body only had 400 cents of cash. At this time, the dyeing was halfway through the dyeing, and the fool had no choice but to add the four hundred cents of money on his body, plus the piece of silk used to dye, which added up to exactly 1,200 cents of money, and gave the dyeing workshop a wage."

After saying that, Wang Zeng looked at the people in the hall and continued to say slowly: "You are ministers, and you are extremely talented, so naturally you will not be as stupid as a fool. But I want to say that what fools do is inevitable in the official business affairs that Song Dasan said just now. There is no problem in not distinguishing the cloth money, and the government collects taxes or sells it out. However, on Jingxi Road, cotton is planted from the field business, planting woven and dyeing farms are all official business affairs. If the cloth money is not divided, the wages and raw materials are mixed together, and things will be impossible. Xu Ping does not allow cotton cloth to be used as

It is absolutely not unreasonable to use copper coins. If you use cotton cloth as copper coins as before, as Lu Xianggong and Song Dasan said, maybe the court will have less trouble, but the various affairs and prefectures and counties on Jingxi Road will be troubled. I can assert that if Jingxi Road is really as common as taxes, it will never be as prosperous as the cotton cloth business this year! Xu Ping was able to sell so many cloths, because there is real items there, and it is definitely not a false account! Now that the world is short of money, I want a solution to lack of money and cannot blame the officials who do things!"

In recent months, it has become commonplace for Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian to compete with each other on such occasions, and they don’t care about it at this time. Moreover, both of them are smart people, and what they say makes sense and will not force their reasoning. It just depends on whether you have the ability to understand the ideals they use. How can things in the world be clear or clear? As long as they are smooth and have clear ideas, they are convincing, and listeners are often surrounded by them.

Zhao Zhen was often surrounded by him. He was still young and did not understand many things in the deep palace. He just listened to these people and made sense to listen. So far, although he felt that the two prime ministers were a little inconsistent, he was not sure whether they were fighting for power or were really devoted to the public, but they had different views on things.

The two prime ministers had a confrontation. Du Yan and Yan Shu both obediently closed their mouths and quietly became bystanders. They had neither strong desire for power, and were independent of the two groups and did not want to cause trouble.

After a moment of silence in the palace, Song Shou said to Wang Zeng: "Based on the view of my husband, is what Xu Ping did reasonable?"

Wang Zeng said with a kind face: "Of course, the transferee manages all the money and grain. This year, several prefectures on Jingxi Road have encountered major disasters that have not been seen for many years, but have been safely survived. Moreover, the military funds and grains of the country are sufficient, and there are so much more than in previous years. They can be called a good politician."

Song Shou said again: "But now the three departments are unable to repay the tickets from Henan Prefecture, and they cannot repay them. Even if they only pay one or two to them, there will be no money available in other parts of the world. So what should I do?"

Wang Zeng smiled slightly: "Didn't Xu Ping propose a solution? He temporarily said that he should keep the price of silk, and he has overcome the current difficulties, so he should not think of a way. Although eating food for the Yin and Mao is not a good way, it is always a way."

"Even if the silk price is stabilized, the Sansi still has no money to repay, and those flying tickets are still there."

Wang Zeng looked at Song Suan and said in a deep voice: "Money is money, but it can only be used for purchase and use. When Xu Ping was the deputy envoy of Sansi Salt and Iron, he compiled the "Book of Money Methods". What is money has been said very thoroughly in recent years. Sansi has valuable goods in hand, so why is it still short of money? Without copper coins, you can print shopping coupons from Sansi Shop to charge the accounts. Would Xu Ping not collect shopping coupons? Shopping coupons can be purchased from Sansi Shop, and the shop can exchange goods from other places with silk, so that everything will be smooth. Xu Ping said that it is said that silk is also the same, and it must be placed on Sansi Shop."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on it, let out a sigh: "Mr. Wang Xianggong's words make sense. If you want money on West Jing Road, you just have to buy goods. The shopping coupons of Sansipuzi can also be used, not necessarily copper coins!"

Song Shou held the scepter: "Your Majesty, I think you need to print shopping vouchers in the Sansi Shop to make up your account, so just print them. Why do you have to stabilize the price of silk? The shopping vouchers in the shop are the amount of money, not the few pieces of silk written."

Wang Zeng's voice was a little higher than before: "Song Dasan's words are inappropriate! The shopping coupons of Sansi Shop are not false and cannot be printed invisible. They must be based on goods. How much silk in Sansi's hands is worth in order to print many shopping coupons. If they are printed out of thin air, the shopping coupons will soon be worthless. This kind of discussion is full of articles in "The Book of Money Methods", and Song Dasan can read it when he has nothing to do. Speaking of this book, Xu Ping has indeed explained the money method very clearly."

When Xu Ping was in the capital, "The Book of Qianfa" was popular for a while and the discussion was very fierce. Later, new views became fewer and fewer, and the popularity gradually decreased. However, the book was compiled, and there were fewer ministers participating in the discussion, and there were still many middle and lower-level officials. Occasionally, some people suddenly appeared and there were no lack of insightful insights. Wang Zeng was concerned about the national politics than Lu Yijian, and he had always read this set of books. His memory was good. Although he could not remember it as much as he was when he was young, the big problems were very clear.

Song Shou was an enterprising person in the officialdom. His enthusiasm for official positions was far higher than that of specific political affairs. When he said this, his thinking could not keep up with it. He had never read the "Book of Qianfa" for a long time, and it was really unclear what it said.

Seeing that Song Shou stopped talking, Wang Zeng held the scepter to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called lack of money at this time is actually just a shortage of Jingxi Road. The court rewarded them with the merits. This can be copper coins, pearls and jade medicine, and of course it can be a shopping coupon issued by Sansi Shop. As long as it can be exchanged for real things, it is like a rope cover, one button to one button to stabilize the price of silk, and the set can be temporarily untied. As for the future, we can naturally make a long-term plan."

Hearing this, Lu Yijian said expressionlessly: "Since it is a reward for merit, why can't we be promoted?"

"For the West Road of Jingxi, it cannot be exchanged for money. Officials who can exchange money are not officials anymore!" Wang Zeng's expression also darkened. "The matter of money and grain should start with money and grain. How can one change the official position?"

Lu Yijian's expression remained unchanged, and just asked, "Then now that the price of silk is stabilized, the three officials will definitely collect a lot of silk into the warehouse. What should I do when the price of silk falls in the future? Will this money be lost in vain? Who will make up for this money at that time? Is it really allowed Xu Ping to make up the holes with the money earned by cotton? How do you calculate it at that time?"
