The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 130 Three Heroes of Shuzhong

"The Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty will have far more functions than the previous paper-making institutes. Issuing banknotes is only one of them. It also has credit intermediary functions such as deposits, loans, and remittances. Ruan Aiqing, the original paper-making institute of the imperial court, The local affairs of communication and money transfer are all assigned to Dasong Yinzhuang. Two months later, Yinzhuang was formally established, and gradually developed to all state capitals, and finally spread to the whole country. In addition, you will set up the purpose of Yinzhuang, the future of Yinzhuang The main functions, the issuance guidelines of the new banknotes and the exchange methods with the original banknotes are all compiled into a book and distributed to officials at all levels above the county government."

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Dear dear friends, I plan to issue new banknotes to replace the existing Qianyin and other coins after the official establishment of Yinzhuang. After the new banknotes are put into circulation, they will be the only legally circulated currency in our dynasty, and the original place will be cancelled. The various types of money issued include silver and copper coins currently in circulation. After a period of coexistence, only new banknotes will be allowed to circulate in the market. If local and private individuals counterfeit new banknotes, they will be beheaded for public display. This will be revised by the Ministry of Punishment. Law, promulgated and widely publicized before Yinzhuang was formally established.”

Chen Zongli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said, "The Ministry of Punishment accepts the order."

"Well, what do you guys think about the name of this new banknote?"

Ma Tingluan said: "I think it can be called the Great Song Dynasty coin, which is concise and to the point, and represents the banknotes issued by our Great Song Dynasty."

Liao Ying said in the middle: "Your Majesty, I think it can be called a dragon coin, and it is named after my Chinese totem dragon for thousands of years."

Ma Tingluan and Liao Yingzhong respectively represent the two camps of the DPRK and China, and these two names also have the most supportive opinions. "Great Song coins, Dragon coins." They all sound good, and the neutral faction is also divided into two factions, each holding its own opinion.

"Your Majesty, Zan Wanshou, the servant of the Ministry of Commerce of Weichen, has a plan to go."

Zan Wanshou, as the champion of Xianchun's new division, inspected on behalf of the sky, and just returned to the capital a few days ago.

"Zan Aiqing, let's talk."

"Your Majesty, based on the opinions of Lord Ma and Lord Liao, I think it is better to call it the Great Song Dragon Coin, referred to as Song Yin. This not only reflects that it is the banknote issued by the Great Song Dynasty, but also uses China's millennium heritage in it. Kill two birds with one stone."

"Song Yin? There are people who talk about U.S. dollars in later generations. This Song Yin also has the same meaning." I was a little surprised, and secretly praised it. It is not difficult to call it the Great Song Dragon Coin, but the abbreviation of Song Yin is very interesting.In the Song Dynasty, silver was the first currency in circulation. It is also meaningful to call it Song Yin.

Jia Sidao agreed: "It's very good, the old minister seconded."

I nodded and said: "Since the teachers and ministers agree, I also agree, Ruan Aiqing, the new banknotes will be called Great Song Dragon Coins, or Song Yin for short."

Ruan Dengbing said: "I obey the order."

"The matter of Yinzhuang is discussed here today. Ruan Aiqing, Yinzhuang is under the management of the Ministry of Households for the time being. All system approvals need to be approved by me personally. I will make a final decision on the rest."

"Yes, I will take my leave first."

Fan Wenhuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, saw that the matter of Yinzhuang had come to an end, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, last night I received an urgent report from Babaili in the middle of Sichuan that Zhang Shun, the commander of the horse infantry on Chengdu Fulu, died of the king's affairs."

I thought about it for a while, and realized that this was an opportunity.I sighed and said: "Director Zhang Shun can be regarded as the elder of our dynasty, what a pity. Fan Aiqing, by decree, specially bestows five ranks on officials, and his son and eight officials are favored."

"I obey the order." Fan Wenhuan said, "Your Majesty, who will pick him up?"

"Fan Aiqing, is there anyone in the Ministry of War?"

"Your Majesty, a war broke out on Chengdu Fulu a few years ago, and a man with both ability and virtue is needed to sit in the command. The Ministry of War does not have suitable personnel for a while."

Chengdu Fulu had a war with Mongolia in 1259, and many places in western Sichuan had fallen.Chengdu, like Yangzhou and Xiangfan, has become the three regions closest to Mongolia, and few people are willing to go to work, especially the imperial court officials in the capital.

For Sichuan, I have three candidates in mind.

After the fall of Xiangyang, Zan Wanshou served as the comfort envoy of Sichuan. He led the army and civilians in central Shu to fight against Mongolia.

The other person is Zhang Jue, known as the "Sichuan General", who served as the deputy envoy of Sichuan, guarded Chongqing, and controlled the entrance to Sichuan for several years.Zhang Jue sat in Diaoyu City (belonging to Chongqing) for a long time, prevented and crushed the massive invasion of Mongolia, and defended half of the Southern Song Dynasty.In the struggle against Mongolia and defending the country, he relied on the vast number of soldiers and civilians, resolutely resisted Mongolian soldiers, and opposed compromise and surrender. claim of peaceful coexistence.

The third is Peng Daya, the former prefect of Chongqing. This unknown prefect in later generations can be regarded as the main contributor to the Chongqing prefecture's persistence for decades in the late Song Dynasty.

In the early years, although Peng Daya, the magistrate, knew that the geographical location of Chongqing City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the mud wall was its Achilles' heel, and the key to success or failure lay here.When he was on an envoy to the north, he had already seen with his own eyes the speed of the Mongolian iron cavalry. He was very worried that the next target of the Mongolian army would be the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, after returning to Chongqing, he immediately ordered the reinforcement of Chongqing City during the war. The ancient city walls were all made of The mud is very fragile and vulnerable, but he ordered the entire city to build walls with bricks and stones, and expanded the scale of the entire Chongqing City, extending to the Tongyuan Gate and Linjiang Gate, which formed the "" Ancient Chongqing City".

The common people and officials at that time did not understand very much, and were very dissatisfied with Peng Daya's large-scale construction projects in this economically difficult period. They went to the yamen and scolded him loudly, but Peng Daya said: "If you don't treat money as money, don't treat people as people." , There is no reason to build", which means that at this time, the emperor and the ministers in the palace do not regard money as money, and people as people. Now building a city to protect the country has become the principle of building a large building, but due to Time was running out and Peng Daya had no time to explain to everyone, so he still led his subordinates to build the city wall day and night.

It is precisely because of Peng Daya's "willingness to go his own way" at this critical moment that the Mongolian army led 40 cavalry and failed to capture the city, and caused the Mongolian army to suffer repeated defeats in Chongqing City when they went south, making the crumbling Southern Song regime It can last for more than [-] years in a precarious manner.At this time, the common people and officials realized it later and showed their merits.It is a pity that when Peng Daya completed the construction of the city and fought fiercely with the enemy, he was hated by others because of his great achievements, and was repeatedly slandered by traitors. The fatuous Song Lizong dismissed him and investigated him. Anxiety and regret leave this world forever.

However, after I ascended the throne, I saw the decree of dismissal from the study of the first emperor, and I had someone bring a letter to Peng Daya, asking him to cultivate himself in Ganzhou and wait for further instructions from me. After receiving my letter, Peng Daya, His mood suddenly reversed, and he wrote back saying that he would definitely take care of his health and serve the country.

These three were all loyal and brave men in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and none of them belonged to Jia Sidao's party.In this way, I can control the second of the three major border troops.

Zhang Jue and Peng Daya in Chongqing, I can feel at ease. For Chengdu, Zan Wanshou is not qualified enough to become the boss of Sichuan, and Zhang Jue and others are in Chongqing Mansion all the year round, belonging to Kuizhou Road. Fulu is not familiar either.Would it be counterproductive if Zan Wanshou was rashly unified into Chengdu?I have no idea.

I looked at the courtiers and said, "My dear friends, who is suitable?"

For a long time, no one among the generals made a sound. Firstly, most of these people belonged to Jia Sidao's party, and secondly, they were unwilling to go to dangerous places, so they simply kept silent.

"Your Majesty, if you don't think the old minister is old, the old minister is willing to go."

"Gundam?"
