Chapter 325 0322 [The prototype of green money hegemony]

At this time, the officials were still in the mood to admire the paintings on Qing Qian, wondering which painting they were from.

This reminded Li Gang of what Zhang Dun had said.

King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world!

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Li Gang to have this idea. Ever since he went to Shandong and learned that he wanted to persuade the officials to abdicate, his thoughts quietly changed.

In the past, no matter how stupid things the officials did, he would subconsciously blame Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Li Yan and other six thieves, thinking that the officials were bewitched by these treacherous sycophants.

But now...it doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Li Gang said loudly: "Your Majesty, this green coin is issued by the Korean thieves in Shandong. It is more convenient than Jiaozi. It can be equivalent to copper coins, gold and silver, and circulates in the market."

Hearing this, Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and said: "Since we imitate Jiaozi, we will inevitably make the same mistakes as Jiaozi. Isn't it a good thing for me, the Song Dynasty? Why ban it?"

The most important thing about banknotes is supervision.

At the beginning of the Renzong Dynasty, there were Han Qi, Lu Yijian, Yan Shu, Fu Bi and other capable ministers who failed to control them, resulting in Jiaozi's excessive printing and publishing. How could Han Zhen control them?

To be honest, he didn't believe it.

Li Gang paused and continued: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether the old misfortune of Jiaozi will happen again. However, green money has been circulated to Kaifeng Mansion. Now there are a large number of wealthy businessmen and officials in the capital who have begun to use green money. . Once the wealthy businessmen from all over the Song Dynasty accept green money, the Korean thieves can use the green money to harvest the wealth of our Song Dynasty."

"Fortunately, green money is not flooding at the moment. It is only circulating on a small scale in Kaifeng Mansion. It is not too late to make amends. We sincerely request your majesty to issue an edict to prohibit the circulation of green money in the Song Dynasty."

Song Huizong looked strange and said: "Qingqian can also circulate in Shandong, how can we harvest the wealth of the Song Dynasty?"

Li Gang explained: "The Korean thieves only need to print a large amount of green money and send caravans to our Song Dynasty to purchase grain and other materials. When the green money in the Song Dynasty reaches a certain amount, they only need to cut off the trade routes, and our people and merchants in the Song Dynasty , you can only swallow a bitter pill.”

Song Huizong shook his head and said with a smile: "According to Li Qing's intention, I, the merchants of the Song Dynasty, can also use green money to purchase supplies in Shandong. Doesn't this cancel out the two?"

"This……"

Li Gang's expression froze.

Song Huizong's words seemed to make sense, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for a while.

People nowadays don’t know what monetary hegemony is.

Seeing that Li Gang was speechless, Song Huizong continued: "Besides, this green money is issued under the guarantee of Korean thieves. You should be afraid of Korean thieves. Once the credit of the green money collapses, Shandong merchants will definitely flock to redeem it. Wouldn't it be killing the enemy?" One thousand, losing eight hundred to yourself?”

Li Gang felt that there was a big ball of twine in his mind. He knew that the circulation of green money in the Song Dynasty was a bad thing, but he couldn't find the thread, so he couldn't refute the officials.

Neither he nor Song Huizong realized what a terrible thing it was for a country to have the right to issue currency in circulation in the hands of another country.

Of course, the size of Qingqian is still too small now, with a total of less than [-] million yuan, which is not as large as the assets of Cai Jing's family. For a giant like Zhao Song, it is just a drop in the bucket.

But in the future, we can’t say for sure.

Speaking of this, Song Huizong suddenly became interested and asked with burning eyes: "How is this green money in Shandong?"

Li Gang said truthfully: "In Shandong, it is no different from copper coins, gold and silver. Even street vendors will collect it."

Song Huizong's eyes lit up: "Can it be imitated?"

As expected of a monarch and his ministers, these two people thought of each other.

Li Gang smiled bitterly and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, after I returned from Shandong, I found the master craftsman who will be the supervisor to imitate it. However, the color-changing ink on this green coin is a difficulty and cannot be imitated."

"Tsk!"

When he heard that it could not be imitated, Song Huizong couldn't help but clicked his tongue with disappointment on his face.

However, he was not surprised. Since the Korean thief dared to print it, he must be fully confident.

"It's great that Li Qing is worried about the country, but his thinking is not right. There is no need to mention the ban on green money. Otherwise, the big wealthy businessmen in the city who hold green money will have to go to Shandong to pay, which is really troublesome. ”

Song Huizong said, waving his hand towards him: "It's getting late, Li Qing will go back soon."

In his opinion, the circulation of green money to the Song Dynasty would be completely beneficial without any harm.

Use the paper money issued by the Korean thieves to benefit the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

When the number of businessmen holding green money increases, they can also organize these wealthy businessmen to go to Shandong to collectively cash in green money and add trouble to the Korean thieves.

Song Huizong couldn't help but feel very happy at the thought of adding trouble to the Han thieves.

"Wei Chen retire."

Li Gang bowed and left the hall.

After leaving the imperial city and returning home, night had already enveloped the sky.

After returning home, Mrs. Qin immediately came forward and asked with concern: "Ms. sir, what is going on today?"

"It's about making money."

Li Gang said gloomily.

"Green money?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Guan Qingqian?"

Li Gang said worriedly: "This is something created by the Korean thieves in Shandong. I always feel that the Korean thieves have bad intentions."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin was a little unhappy: "My husband, don't want to be a Korean thief. Now that the Song Dynasty and Shandong have turned their feud into friendship, your Majesty is still married to Emperor Xunde."

"Ok?"

Li Gang was startled and looked at his wife solemnly.

Mrs. Qin was a little embarrassed by the sight: "Why do you, sir, look at me like this?"

Li Gang suddenly asked: "How much money does your family have?"

"More than six thousand eight hundred strings."

Qin didn't know why and answered truthfully.

Yes, yes!
  Li Gang suddenly understood why his wife would speak for the Han thief.

The family has more than [-] yuan of green money. If the Han thief is defeated, this money will become waste paper.

His family alone has more than [-] Guan. Where are the other officials and wealthy merchants in the capital?
  In a few years, there will only be more and more people holding green money. At that time, who will be willing to fight against the Korean thieves?

At that time, the Korean thieves will no longer be just Korean thieves, but will be responsible for the food and clothing of millions of laborers!

……

……

While Li Gang was depressed, Han Zhen was also troubled.

"The bank is running low on green money? Didn't there still be more than [-] million yuan a while ago?"

Hearing this, Su Zhaode explained: "The county magistrate did not know whether there was commercial exchange between Shandong and Zhao and Song Dynasties. After knowing the benefits of Qing Qian, some Zhao Song merchants also began to accept Qing Qian transactions, and even Qing Qian was already in Kaifeng Mansion. It has formed a small-scale circulation. Recently, more and more merchants have exchanged money, and now there are less than [-] million yuan left."

It is a good thing that green money circulates in Zhao Song, but the damn problem is that the existing amount of green money, for such a huge body as Zhao Song, is just a drop of water in the lake.

A large number of merchants in Zhao and Song Dynasties exchanged money, resulting in insufficient green money in Shandong. Su Zhaode suggested: "What Wei Chen means is, should we issue more?"

Han Zhen asked: "How many copper coins, gold and silver have been exchanged for green coins during this period?"

Su Zhaode replied: "More than [-] million yuan, and the rest is distributed to the market in the form of loans, salaries, etc."

After thinking for a moment, Han Zhen ordered: "For the time being, we will print an additional [-] million green coins. In the future, we will print as many green coins as we exchange for copper coins. We cannot print more coins."

In the early stage, the main focus was on accumulating credit, so he did not dare to issue additional shares arbitrarily.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Su Zhaode responded with his hands raised.

Han Zhen asked: "By the way, how is the allocation of business shares to officials?"

Su Zhaode said: "Wei Chen has followed the advice of the county magistrate. The number of business shares is determined by official rank. We are currently communicating with officials from various ministries."

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "Everything from the chief officials of various ministries to the magistrate and county clerk must communicate and make them feel involved."

The sense of participation is very important. Even if the money you receive is less, you will not use the dividends as an excuse.

After all, it is the result of consultation and communication between multiple parties.

"The county magistrate is wise!"

After all, Su Zhaode was much smarter than Ma Yundi, and he understood Han Zhen's intention instantly.

"Go."

Han Zhen waved his hand.

After dismissing Su Zhaode, Han Zhen left the study. After teasing Xiao Heyue as usual, he thought about it and walked towards Lingxi Pavilion.

I haven't been with Ma Shuyao for several days.

He still loved this concubine very much.

Innocent, lively and cheerful, just looking at her will make you feel better.

He walked into the small building with ease and reached the second floor. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

Under the candlelight, several graceful and white figures appeared in the eyes.

The four girls, Ma Shuyao and Jiang Suyi, were only wearing tube tops and a pair of obscene pants. They seemed to be changing clothes.

"Yeah~"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and several little girls were startled. They exclaimed and crossed their arms in front of themselves to protect themselves.

After seeing clearly that the person who came was Han Zhen, Jiang Suyi said angrily: "Husband, this is a shock to my family."

The little girl said, deliberately puffing out her chest and giving him a wink.

Looking her up and down, Han Zhen curled up into a disdainful sneer.

Ah!
  A bunch of firewood girls!

Turning around and closing the door, Han Zhen came to the table and sat down, curiously asking: "What are you doing?"

Ma Shuyao put on an underskirt generously, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I bought new clothes today, do you look good, husband?"

"It looks good. This dress suits you very well."

Han Zhen nodded and chuckled.

Ma Shuyao's clothes are very good. The style and color strips of the skirt are bright and lively, giving people a fresh feeling.

Coupled with her innocent temperament, she is like an elf.

Ma Shuyao's eyes were full of joy after winning Han Zhen's hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Suyi didn't want to be left behind. It was a rare opportunity for her to miss it.

After putting on his clothes, he gracefully turned around in front of Han Zhen.

Her temperament is similar to that of Ma Shuyao, but Ma Shuyao gives people a more agile sense, while Jiang Suyi is more lively and cheerful, and her smile is like the warm sunshine in winter.

"good."

Han Zhen praised.

Then, Zhao Luzhu and Fu Qingyi followed suit.

Several little girls bought a lot of clothes and took turns changing them for Han Zhen to see. It felt like watching a fashion show in later generations.

After some fun, seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Suyi and the three girls left wisely.

After watching them leave, Ma Shuyao immediately threw herself into Han Zhen's arms, stood on tiptoes and raised her face: "Husband, kiss."

This is what Han Zhen likes about her, she dares to love and hate, and never suppresses her heart.

"Little greedy cat."

After scraping the tip of her nose affectionately, Han Zhen leaned down.

"Hmm~"

After leaving Lingxi Pavilion, Jiang Suyi turned around and glanced at the small building.

Through the projection on the window, I saw my husband and sister Youyou sticking together, and I couldn't help but feel envious in my heart.

Zhao Luzhu on the side saw this and couldn't help but joked: "Don't look at it, your eyes are about to fall out."

Looking away reluctantly, Jiang Suyi pouted and said, "Why don't you think your husband is happy with us?"

"You damn girl, are you in love?"

A hint of shyness flashed in Zhao Luzhu's eyes.

Fu Qingyi, on the other hand, said thoughtfully: "My husband seems to like older people."

"It seems to be oh."

Jiang Suyi nodded with deep understanding.

Sister Runniang and Sister An are both older than their husbands.

Even Sister Fujin is two or three years older than them.

Especially Sister An, her body was like a ripe peach, as if it was about to burst open.

Thinking of this, Jiang Suyi lowered her head and looked at her flat hill, feeling like crying but without tears.
