Chapter 222 The Liao Kingdom has to thank the Song Dynasty [9000 monthly ticket plus update]

After the Liao envoy paid his respects, the entire Chongzheng Hall looked at Zhao Xu like a god.

Because, they have never discovered that the young master has a special talent in managing money and finances!
But today, he was a blockbuster!
Countless people have doubts in their hearts.

How is this going?what happened?
Many people are still dreaming about it.

But no one dares to ask!

Because, the young master... no... the official's performance is really amazing!

It is so amazing that even the ministers who have accepted that the Song Dynasty has a lord who is comparable to becoming a king are still buzzing.

The two palaces in the curtain looked at each other.

They all saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes.

Naturally, Queen Mother Xiang was simply happy for Zhao Xu.

The Empress Dowager felt that she really looked like the Song Dynasty!

picture!Very similar!It's exactly the same!
However, they also have doubts.

"Brother Six..." Xiang Queen Mother asked in the curtain, "How did you think of doing this?"

This is indeed the question of many people.

All the officials held their breath and looked at the hall.

Watching the official family walk to the curtains of the two palaces, they replied with a smile: "After going back to my mother, this is some truth I realized from the article left by Mr. Ming Dao..."

"I also read the memorabilia written by the father and the emperor... and the edict to pay money and silk to various places..."

"I just happened to hear about the Liao envoy and also heard that the Song Dynasty had to pay money and silk to the Liao Kingdom every year..."

"This is all people's fat and people's ointment!"

"Every time my son thinks about this, he will be in deep pain! But he will always remember the teachings of his mother and queen mother, the truth that a sage has no choice but to use a weapon if he knows a soldier's weapon!"

"So I can only settle for the next best thing, thinking of such a non-solution method!"

All the ministers were stunned when they heard this.

But what the officials said was so sincere that there was nothing they could do if they didn't believe it.

Otherwise how to explain?

So they all held the fluorine and worshiped: "Your Majesty is a wise majesty, and I would like to congratulate the world!"

The few ministers who were aware of the dissent began to look at their noses and noses, and closed their mouths tightly after congratulating them.

They know very well that sometimes, the more they know, the worse the end will be.

It's better to be confused about this kind of thing.

However, in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, there will never be a shortage of people who want to break the casserole and ask the end.

Wang Cun, Minister of the Household Department who was named by Zhao Xu before, came out of the line, and said: "Your Majesty's policy, although I admire... But... Your Majesty's doing this, won't the northern captives get more money?"

Looking back, Zhao Xu asked with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Beilu took these jiaozi, what else can he do besides buying my Dasong tea, silk and porcelain?"

"Can he buy the Divine Arm Bow or the Eight Oxen Crossbow?"

Wang Cun swallowed.

It was found that this was the case.

Liao people took Jiaozi and bought products from the Song Dynasty. They also bought things like silk, porcelain, embroidery, spices, tea cups and so on.

And who are the merchants who can do these transactions?
Wang Cun lowered his head.

He knows the situation!Powerful person!Relatives!

When he wanted to understand this, he looked around him and found that many people's eyes were already red.

300 million sticks a year!
Liao people now have a purchasing power of 300 million guan a year!

This is not counting the property of the Liao people in their own country!

How much silver and gold could the Liao people take to shop in Song Dynasty?

No one knows the exact number, and no one can say it clearly.

After taking a deep breath, Han Zhongyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, went out and said: "Your Majesty, if the northern captives also send the gold and silver from their kingdom to our court, how about asking us to make Jiaozi?"

The others immediately looked towards the palace like wolves that had been hungry for three days and three nights.

The Song Dynasty did not establish a land system, so officials were naturally not allowed to do business.

In fact, I don't know how many people in the court let their family members, relatives or customers do business in private!
This is also the reason why the Shiyifa encountered so much resistance back then.

It's not just the relatives and the clan, who are sucking blood on business.

The scholar-bureaucrats and civil servants are directly in the game.

The purpose of the Market Exchange Act is to allow the state to replace the ecological niche of these people.

No wonder they agreed!
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "If the Lord of Liao came here with courtesy, he would be a state of etiquette in the Song Dynasty, and he should agree!"

The hearts of countless people suddenly cheered!
In this way, the purchasing power of the Liao Kingdom has been magnified several times out of thin air!
All fools know that they have to go back and quickly ask people to expand production!
Because, the golden age has arrived!

The Holy Lord is coming!The Holy Lord is coming!

……

When Yeluju returned to Dutingyi, his feet were getting weak.

300 million guan!That's 300 million guan!

He knows that when he returns home, he will become a hero!Become a hero like Xiao Temo and Xiao Xi!

He didn't even think about whether Emperor Daliao would agree.

Because everyone supports him.

From the south courtyard to the north courtyard, from top to bottom, as long as you know the conditions he got.

Then they will all go crazy!
Copper coins fell from the sky out of thin air to allow Daliao to buy 300 million guan of goods here in the Southern Dynasties every year.

Up and down, everyone benefits!

Even the Son of Heaven is the same!
With this money, doesn't the emperor just buy whatever he wants?
What are you still doing?
Buy what you like directly, anyway, there is plenty of money!
Therefore, the emperor must support it, even if he does not support it, he will be persuaded by everyone!
Thinking of this, Yeluju suddenly stopped.

His body began to arouse.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" he muttered.

"Whoever holds this money will be the important minister of Daliao!" A voice shouted in his heart.

"Even like King Wei back then..."

Dazed, he stood motionless.

Wang Shiru looked at his expression, didn't think much, just shouted: "Jiedu...Jiedu..."

Yeluju came back to his senses, burst into laughter, and rushed into Dutingyi's room like a madman.

He wants to write a memorial immediately and send it to Beijing and to the emperor!

He must take this power into his hands!
For this, he will do whatever it takes!
……

After retreating from the court, all the ministers filed out from the Chongzheng Hall.

The generals outside the palace looked at these ministers and felt that they seemed a little different.Seems very excited?
what happened?

What happened in the temple?
Countless people have doubts.

Han Jiang was in the crowd, and couldn't help but glance back at the hall of Chongzheng Hall.

Then he found that Zhang Dun was looking back at the Chongzheng Hall just like him.

So, Han Jiang quietly walked to Zhang Dun's side: "Zihou, would you like to come to the hall of the old man's court for a while?"

Zhang Dun came back to his senses, and bowed to Han Jiang: "You Kui has a life, and the officials dare not refuse!"

The two bowed hands tacitly.

So, they went out of the inner east gate together and returned to the capital hall.

Then Han Jiang led Zhang Dun into his command hall.

Then he swung the left, right, up and down, and only said that he had a state affairs discussion with Zhang Dun.

Han Jiang invited Zhang Dun to the guest table, and then brought a jar of aged lamb wine from the cupboard in his hall.

Poured Zhang Dun a glass of Han Jiang, sat down, and said to Zhang Dun, "Zi Hou, try this lamb wine that I asked someone to brew when I was in Henan..."

Zhang Dun picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and praised: "Good wine!"

Putting down his wine glass, Zhang Dun looked at Han Jiang.

Han Jiang also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a while, and then they both laughed.

"Zi Hou seems to have an idea about what happened in Chongzheng Palace today?" Han Jiang asked.

Zhang Dun smiled: "You Kui has no idea?"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"The wisdom of officials is bestowed by heaven!" After a long time, Han Jiang sighed.

He is still a little confused until now.

20 taels of silver and 30 bolts of silk coins each year, and the government simply took it back?
The Liao people have to thank him!
The most important thing is - the Liao Kingdom may even beg him to help print more Jiaozi!
If the temple wanted to do this, the western thief would have surrendered long ago, right?

Zhang Dun also sighed with emotion: "It's the luck of You Kui to be born to meet the Holy Lord, and it's also the luck of the next official!"

Both of them are officials who have been in the place for a long time, are familiar with the place, and have been officials in the center many times.

I also have a little understanding of what kind of circulation method Jiaozi is.

On the surface, it is true that Song Dynasty only issues 120 million Guanjiaozi every year.

In fact, the number of Jiaozi may have exceeded everyone's imagination.

why?
Because there are many merchants, he took the money, and he didn't want to exchange it for heavy iron money!

Therefore, whenever redemption occurs, these people choose not to use cash but to exchange for Xinjiaozi.

This way they can do business easily!
After all, who wants to run around with thousands of catties, tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of catties of iron money?
Just the shipping fee, they all have to lose money!
What's more, a batch of iron coins may be lost every year due to rust.

Therefore, many merchants who have used Jiaozi for generations are now accustomed to exchanging old Jiaozi for new Jiaozi.

Now, although the officials use copper coins as the principal, they issue jiaozi.

But copper coins are also very heavy!

Yiguan money already weighs at least five catties (Song Jin, about 640 grams).

Ten thousand guan is [-] catties of copper coins.

Merchants who do big business may spend hundreds of guan per hundred miles just to transport the [-] catties of copper coins.

You have to worry about encountering green forest heroes on the road, and you have to endure being exploited and extorted by officials along the way... and you have to pay taxes!
Therefore, once Song Liao Jiaozi is issued, and the reputation is stable and the currency value is strong.

I am afraid that there will be many folk merchants who choose to give up coins when redeeming Jiaozi and choose Xinjiaozi.

Carrying a stack of paper is much better than carrying tens of thousands of kilograms of copper goods around and being on tenterhooks.

It's nothing more than paying some money every time you replace it.

Therefore, in the future, the Song-Liao Trade Jiaozi may be renewed every time, the principal alone is enough to meet the exchange!

In this way, for Da Song, it is actually all benefits!

However, the Liao Kingdom has to thank and praise the country of Da Song's true brother, he really helps when there is something to do!

……

In Baoci Palace, the two palaces were also listening to the report brought by Liang Weijian from the officials of Bianjing Jiaozi Affairs.

In the narration of these officials, some things gradually became clear.

"You mean... there may be more than ten million Jiaozi circulating among the people today?"

The other side nodded.

When the two palaces looked at each other, they both felt that something was wrong!

Because according to this person, every time Jiaozi redeems it, the principal alone is enough to cover the exchange.

For many years, even less than [-]% of people choose to exchange money.

Everyone else chose to trade in the old for the new, and would rather give Zhao Guan's family an extra sum of money than cash!
This is beyond the comprehension range of the two palaces, it feels like listening to a bible.

The two palaces fell silent after sending off the officials who handed over the affairs.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager said: "What kind of grandson did Emperor Yingying Liewu Shengxiao give birth to this old man!"

He is filial, smart, sensible, and misses family affection. He knows that it is not easy for his relatives. He is always kind to the Gao family, the Xiang family, and the two emperor uncles. He is afraid that they will suffer and be wronged.

The two concubines were even more moved by his benevolence and filial piety. Especially the empress dowager's biological mother, concubine Han Yueguo, who often had people come into the palace to praise the officials in front of her. They all said that the officials would be praised every ten days and a half. Send someone to your door to reward him.

Wealth, royal medicine, fragrant medicine and even cosmetic powder.

There is an endless stream, a steady stream!
Everyone from top to bottom said that officials were benevolent, filial, intelligent and wise, and were the true masters of the country.

Now, under the eyes of the two palaces and in front of the courtiers, he has given them a big job.

Once successful, in the understanding of the two palaces, it will not only save at least [-]% of the old coins of the Liao Kingdom every year.

The Liao Kingdom has to thank Da Song!

The growth rate of the official family, the two palaces feel that if they don't work hard, they may not be able to keep up.

Looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Xiang was filled with joy.

"Your Majesty, the bride thinks this is the blessing of the ancestors, and the blessings of the gods and Buddhas!"

"Bless the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty, the Holy Lord descended from heaven!"

"In the future, the empress will have a lot of blessings to enjoy!"

The Empress Dowager listened, nodded, and said, "Empress Dowager, it's time to choose an auspicious day and go to Kaibao Temple to offer incense to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!"

Said to the Empress Dowager: "The bride is obedient to her mother's orders!"

　Note: The copper coins of Yuanfeng, Yuanyou, Shaosheng and Yuanfu in the Northern Song Dynasty hovered around 4-3 grams. One pound in the Northern Song Dynasty was about 640 grams, which was always 770 Wen, almost five pounds.

　　Note 2: The collapse of Jiaozi in the Northern Song Dynasty was due to the indiscriminate use of Zhao Ji's wisdom, which led to credit bankruptcy. Later, he used money to replace it, which was actually the golden yuan coupon scheme.

　　Of course, in the era of Zhezong, it was actually depreciating because of military expenditures and a large number of printings. This is a historical fact!But Zhezong is stable and knows how to recycle, and the value of Jiaozi currency in Yuanfeng era is very strong because of sufficient reserves!
　　Note 3: The trading jiaozi that the protagonist has made now is actually the Northern Song version of Lao Maozi's trading ruble.

　　Although Maozi is rough and playful, I personally think it should work in the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, he only wants goods in Liao Kingdom, and it happens that the Northern Song Dynasty has goods!

　　What feudal planned trade zone!
