Prime Minister

Chapter 881 Consensus
On the Palace of Senior Citizens.

After Zhang Yue said the three strategies, the officials applauded from the bottom of their hearts. This is really a statement of insight.

He really deserves to be the number one scholar and the talent of the two yuans, the talent of the prime minister left by Emperor Renzong, the so-called rejuvenation of the country with one word, and the rejuvenation of the country with three strategies.

It's not easy for the officials to know how to speak. If what Zhang Yue just said was a policy theory, he would have been the number one scholar with a swipe of his imperial pen.

But after all, the Golden Palace Policy Discussion is just the Golden Palace Policy Discussion, and what the ministers of the two governments are discussing in the Golden Palace is national policy.

Policy theory is an article, and national policy is to be implemented, not what he thinks is feasible.

The officials looked at all the ministers, and at this moment Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue's three strategies... I think it is feasible, but the details need to be discussed by the two governments."

Although Zhang Yue proposed it for the first time in the hall, Han Jiang and Zhang Yue had a tacit understanding early on, and the transfer of the prison was the handwriting of the two, but no matter how much they supported it, they had to show repeated worries on the surface, this is the prime minister steady.

In contrast, Wu Chong said without any scruples: "I thought that the first thing I was doing was rebuilding the currency letter. This will accomplish nothing, and the court's reputation will be ruined."

"Confucius once said that there are enough food, enough soldiers, and people's trust. If the people have no trust, they can't stand. This currency trust is the people's trust, and it is also the system of the imperial court!"

"Bixin is the people's letter!" The official nodded. He remembered what Wang Anshi had talked with him on the first day he entered the palace.

Thinking of this, the official suddenly asked a question: "Should the country be governed by the choice of tactics or the system?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, you should change with the times and the situation. This dynasty has followed the old ways for a hundred years, so there have been reforms."

"For example, the money law. In order to solve the money shortage, since the second year of Xining, His Majesty first abolished the ban on copper since Qingli."

"Nowadays, the common people are allowed to make bronze wares and go abroad with copper and iron coins. The imperial court also took back the old copper from the people and began to mint coins. This is the virtue of your majesty."

The officials were very satisfied to hear this.

"The Xining ingots cast by His Majesty just after he ascended the throne were all flat coins. At that time, a batch of flat coins were minted in Sichuan. I remember using more than 11 guan, and the final value was more than [-] guan. Divide the lower, the profit is as much as [-]%."

"Two years after arriving in Xining, the imperial court cast heavy treasures in Xining, interspersed with flat coins and two coins, to cast two big iron coins. The usual iron coins are less than twelve catties, and the benefits are double and fifty percent. many."

"The imperial court profited a lot from cast iron money, and abolished the ban on copper since Emperor Renzong. This is convenient for both the government and the people. From this we can see the merit of breaking two coins."

Everyone listened to Lu Huiqing's eloquent talk about the benefits of discounting two coins, which was clearly an act for the court to seek profit, but he turned it into an act of convenience for the people.

But the officials followed suit, Lu Huiqing said: "The heavy treasures of Xining cast after two years, no matter whether they are flat coins or discounted coins, even if they are circulated among the people, there is nothing wrong with them."

"Now the minister thinks that if Xining Tongbao is cast, the Xining Tongbao will be divided into two coins, and then mixed with three or five coins, and then use the money to buy back the quotations issued by the court. This is also the case. It’s the best of both worlds.”

After hearing Lu Huiqing's words, all the ministers were in a commotion, Zhang Yue also admired Lu Huiqing's sudden operation 120 million points from the bottom of his heart.

It was unexpected to Lu Huiqing that he suddenly proposed to repurchase and exchange in the temple, but he hastily came up with an operation that got the best of both worlds.

But what is this operation?To tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall?
While issuing new money indiscriminately, they pretended to buy back old money.

This is the so-called showy operation of big fights in and small fights out.

A classic calculation problem for primary school students, a reservoir is full of water and filled with water at the same time, how long does it take for the reservoir to be filled or drained?
Most elementary school students would drop their pens, isn't this damn fooling me?Water is released and water is taken in. Does the reservoir release or take in water?

why?
Because it is necessary to collect money and be generous and righteous, Lu Huiqing figured out the emperor's mind and played a set of gaudy actions to confuse the public.

Folding in two, discounting in three, and discounting five coins is to destroy the credibility of the imperial court. After the two discount, the common people who get the official minted flat money will suffer a loss. reason.The repurchase and cross-quote is to rebuild the currency trust for the imperial court.

Rebuilding and destroying the currency letter is the difference between myself and Lu Huiqing, not money.

There is no need to use this method to repurchase the exchanged money.

Zhang Yue saw that both the No. [-] and No. [-] people in the civil service supported him, but because of Lu Huiqing's sudden operation, his plan almost failed.

Now the official family has been moved by Lu Huiqing, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue wanted to speak, but at this time he saw Lu Huiqing gave him a look that he wanted to toast and not eat fine wine.

The more Zhang thought about it, he said nothing. If he didn't speak, he didn't agree.

Seeing this, Lu Huiqing showed dissatisfaction again.

He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think this law is the most appropriate, and there is no need for other considerations. Please use this as an edict to the world."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but went out to fight and said: "Your Majesty, it is feasible to use Xining Tongbao to fold in two, but it is absolutely impossible to fold in three and fifty."

Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue glanced back, and then played to the emperor: "I know what Lu Gong meant. It is that the two-dollar discount for Xining Chongbao has been implemented smoothly. Now the people have generally accepted the two-dollar discount. Under the newly minted Xining Tongbao Let’s try to discount it by [-]% or [-]% or even [-]% to find out whether the common people will accept it or not?”

"But if things go on like this, sooner or later something will go wrong."

Lu Huiqing said: "I think you are worrying too much. If you can't afford three or five discounts, then what's the use of casting Xining Tongbao?"

Zhang Yue contended: "For Lu Gong, it seems that as long as the people don't make trouble, there will be no big trouble. Even if there is trouble, kill a group of troublemakers, and the court will give in a little bit. What is the true meaning of the fact that the people don't pay enough for the country?
"Nonsense!" Lu Huiqing was furious.

Seeing that the two had a quarrel in front of the imperial court, Han Jiang immediately interrupted the dispute.

The official walked down the imperial steps, came between Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing and said: "Zhang Qing, Lu Qing, you are all my shoulders, and you are all the ministers of the country. In the future, I will rely on you when governing the country?"

This is the official initiative to repair the relationship between Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing also pleaded guilty to the officials when they heard the words, saying that they had lost their dignity in front of the imperial court.

The official said: "Since I came to the throne, I have been sighing with my sleepiness, but I have been wary of those who carry my heart. I am also guilty of excessive quotations."

The officials mediated a dispute among the ministers with the majesty of the emperor. After leaving the hall, everyone left alone.

When Zhang Yue left the hall, he saw Lu Huiqing, and Lu Huiqing also saw Zhang Yue, and they both nodded slightly in unison.

It doesn't matter if you quarrel in front of the imperial court, start a real fire, or slap the table, it's a show for the emperor.

Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing both know that they have great political differences, but they can't do anything to each other now, so there is no need to tear their faces.

After tearing the face, things will be difficult.

Lu Huiqing said: "Duzhi, take a step to speak?"

Zhang Yuezhi and Lu Huiqing discussed further, and immediately said: "I will obey the order of my husband."

Lu Huiqing said to Zhang Yue: "There are two ends to the truth, but you need to be paranoid. At the beginning, Wen Xianggong said that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, not the common people."

"The court's actions were originally for the convenience of the people and the people, but because the local officials did not mention the world's wishes, this made the people worry."

"So Duanming knows what I mean?"

Zhang Yue said: "Xianggong means that there is no emperor who ruled the world with the scholar bureaucrats, but the emperor ruled the world alone!"

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "Exactly. Therefore, the only way is to reform and merge."

"You say that the coin is divided into two and three, and how much money does the common people have in their hands, and they have no food left over for the night? At most, they have a few bad money in their hands. However, the copper and iron coins in the homes of the rich gentry are piled up into mountains. If there is really a discount today Ten qian, these evil gentry will be crying tomorrow."

Zhang Yue said: "Master, I understand what you said. Before Xining, the country was poor and the people were poor, and most of the money in the world was controlled by powerful families."

"Therefore, the method of money is equal and good. I agree. There is no such thing as money in "Qian Materia Medica". , it is good to be even; if it is not even, the hot and cold will stimulate each other, causing cholera."

Qian Materia Medica was written by Tang Xiang Zhang Shuo, and it was written in the tone of Shennong Materia Medica.The balance of money is still good, if it is not, the world will be in chaos.

Zhang Yue said again: "If money is accumulated but not scattered, there will be disasters of water, fire, thieves; if it is scattered and not accumulated, there will be hunger, cold and distress. One accumulation and one dispersion are called Tao."

"This money has to be accumulated and dispersed. But my husband said that ten times the money can be ten times the money in the rich family, but you know that the money is ten times cheaper, but the land is ten times more expensive. So the rich family Nakata More money or more money? Is the rich poorer or richer?"

Lu Huiqing's expression changed upon hearing this.

Zhang Yue said again: "To the rich, Lu Xianggong's money is just a drop in the bucket. You can reduce it by reducing it. Also, the poor don't have much money, so it doesn't matter if they have ten dollars."

"But apart from the rich and the poor, there is another class of people among them. Some of them have a few acres of Susukida in their homes, some sell some things in small vendors, and some have read a few books. They have some skills but not too much. The family is a little thin, sometimes you can eat an egg a day, eat meat once a week, and drink wine once a month."

"In the eyes of some people, it is considered rich, but in the eyes of the rich, it is not worth mentioning. A small charge can drive them almost to nowhere. What if the money in their hands is reduced by ten times? "

Lu Huiqing fell silent with her hands folded.

"Sanggong, you and I were the same before we became Jinshi! Therefore, even though I live in eight seats, I am still trembling like walking on thin ice."

After finishing speaking, Yue bowed to Lu Huiqing and retreated.

Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue's back and thought, but it was obvious that Zhang Yue made a mistake.

Lu Huiqing is a son of an official. Before he was awarded a Jinshi, his father was an official to Zhizhou.

Who is the same as you, a child of the Han family? This is obviously a mistake of yours, Zhang Yue.

The next day, the two governments discussed, and finally decided that Xining Tongbao only cast two coins, and the imperial court took out 100 million coins to repurchase and exchange quotations from the exchange exchange.
