Overturning the Liangshan of the Water Margin, I am the master

() Fourth, sound communication.The four years of Xingping seems to confirm this reading method, because this year is destined to be an eventful year.

Damnah accompanied Ke'er to Youzhou to deal with her brother-in-law's affairs. In order to rush there to meet them as soon as possible, Song Qing had to call a group of ministers to discuss the banknotes at the beginning of the new year.

Coins, like food, are one of the things that those in power are most concerned about.

In fact, during the Song Dynasty, banknotes had already appeared in Shuzhong, but due to years of wars, the banknotes became similar to open paper.

Song Qing had seen this thing when he first entered Shuzhong, and he also knew that it would benefit the country and the people if it was used well.But as far as the situation at that time was concerned, it was not suitable to resume the issuance of banknotes at all.

Moreover, at that time, the Northern Song court only used Shuzhong as a pilot point, and it might not have the intention of using this kind of thing to search for Shuzhong.

Now time has passed, and the land in the middle of Shu has been ruled by Liangshan.Moreover, the Liangshan regime is powerful and the ocean trade is rich in wealth. It is time to put this matter on the agenda. It can be said that Ma Tao's ideas coincide with Song Qing's.

Ma Tao, as a Jiangnan chaebol, of course knew the pros and cons of it. In terms of his financial resources, it is not impossible to open a bank to issue banknotes.

But what paper money needs most is a stable regime, otherwise it will be no different from waste paper when it is issued.

In addition, as far as ordinary people are concerned, it is still safe to use gold and silver, so if you want to promote this kind of banknotes, you must have a strong regime.

Many officials don't understand that it's New Year's Eve, why did the prince find him here?Of course, there were some well-informed people who thought that the prince's summoning of the people was related to this matter, but they didn't expect that the prince didn't even mention what happened in the Kingdom of Jin, but wanted everyone to discuss the issue of banknotes.

Paper currency is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and it is a grind, but it is not the strong point of Liangshan heroes, so almost everyone's eyes are on Chai Jin and Chen Dong.

Chai Jin pondered for a moment and said: "I think the prince's proposal is good, and this thing is indeed beneficial to the national finances, but the difficulty lies in how to issue it. The common people exchange gold and silver for the items they need. The habit that has been cultivated for thousands of years, the prince suddenly proposes to change it, I am afraid it will not be easy!"

Chen Dong also nodded and said: "Master Chai is right. I am also worried that the people will not recognize it, and I am also worried that once this thing is released, will it be taken advantage of by lawless people? Wouldn't it be counterproductive to make fakes?" ?"

Zhu Wu nodded and said: "A piece of paper can be worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the saved gold and silver can be used as a national strategic reserve. The prince's idea is good. In fact, there is nothing difficult about it. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we open a Good head, the people will follow."

After everyone finished speaking, Song Qing said: "Since everyone can't think of a good way, it's up to me to say it! First of all, I named the banknotes as silver notes, and then, after the silver notes are printed, first of all all our officials All salaries will be issued by silver bills instead of silver taels, in other words, we will use our actual actions to give the common people a head start.”

Chen Dong couldn't help but interjected: "Thousands, excuse me, the prince gave us the bank notes as salary, but where should we use them?"

yes!If the silver ticket cannot be exchanged, let us drink the northwest wind!This sentence can be said to have asked everyone's aspirations, and everyone's eyes once again focused on Song Qing.

Song Qing smiled and said: "This is the second thing I want to say. First of all, the Jiangnan chaebol Ma's family will undertake our first exchange, and I have already made an appointment with him. In the future, we will continue to open banks in various places. The main The business is mainly based on exchange. At the same time, Brother Chai is also invited to build a Liangshan bank that can cover all parts of the Central Plains. Everyone knows the usefulness of the bank. The king will not do things that compete with the people for profit. The ultimate goal of this move It is nothing more than taking from the people and using it for the people.”

"As for the fact that Master Chen said that some people would fake it, it depends on the strength of the local government. If anyone wants to know whether my king's knife is sharp enough, they might as well stand up and try. Tell the local government to treat such people , just one word, kill"

Song Qing said these words with a smile, but everyone still felt a murderous aura.The matter of daring to love has already been decided by the prince, and calling everyone is just an announcement.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at Zhu Wu again, the old guy had a dignified face, he said that as long as he had a good start, he might have already discussed it with the prince?

No matter what the people below think, Song Qing will continue to carry out this matter of benefiting the country and the people. As Zhu Wu said, this matter is difficult at the beginning. Accept it.

At the same time, the unification of currency will also help the management of Jiangnan and other places in the future.Liangshan controls ocean trade and various materials in the north. It can be said that the Liangshan regime has been leading the economy of the Central Plains.

After the currency is unified, the next step is to let the Liangshan bank flourish in the Central Plains and control the lifeline of the economy. In the future, the Zhao Song regime in the south of the Yangtze River can be directly paralyzed without even sending troops.

Of course, this is just a thought hidden in Song Qing's heart. He may not be good at finance, but in that era of information explosion, what kind of cases are there?Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

After saying this, Zhu Wu looked at Wu Yong, but Wu Yong nodded slightly.The two old guys will communicate in advance about everything, so they know what each other is thinking.

Zhu Wu coughed dryly and said: "Qiantui, I heard that the princess went to Youzhou because of the death of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. I dare to ask, does Qiantui want to use troops against the Jin Kingdom?"

Song Qing didn't want to hide this matter from the officials, nodded and said: "Ke'er is going to Youzhou, but now is not the time to use troops against the Jin Kingdom."

Zhu Wu nodded and said: "I dare to ask again, does Qiantui want to go south first and then north, or north and then south?"

Since Gongsun Laodao returned to Liangshan for meditation, Zhu Wu had the most problems.

In fact, this matter has long been in Song Qing's mind, but since Zhu Wu brought it up today, he also wants to hear the thoughts of the officials.

So he said with great interest: "What do you think about this problem, brother?"

Zhu Wu said proudly: "First south and then north, only a stable and unified Central Plains, Qiantui is suitable for sending troops to the Northern Expedition"

Chen Dong frowned and said: "Qiantui has always believed in righteousness. According to the military division, what name should we use to unify the Central Plains?"

Wu Yong interjected with a smile: "Names, if you think about it, you can find a bunch of them at random, the key is to see what Chitose thinks."

Song Qing knew in his heart that after all, these guys still wanted to tease him to be emperor, not pretending to be noble, it was too late.

Sighing slightly, he said, "Dayi is something you can't touch or see, but it actually exists. With our current strength, we want to destroy Zhao Song, but it's just a snap of our fingers, but Zhao Song already exists in the Central Plains after all. After more than 100 years, it has taken root in the hearts of the people. Although the sun has faded away, it will take some time to completely erase it from the hearts of the people.”

"I said that, everyone must have thought that I was going to send troops to the north. Now I can tell you for sure that my next target is Xixia."

Song Qing's thinking was too jumpy. Just now Zhu Wu first mentioned the Kingdom of Jin, and then Song Qing mentioned Zhao Song, and now he suddenly went to Xixia.

Someone wanted to ask why, but Song Qing obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. When he summoned his ministers, he had already told Ma Tao to step up the printing of bank notes. After he read it to his satisfaction, he would start to implement it .Only after this matter is finalized can he go to Youzhou with peace of mind.

After dismissing the officials, Song Qing ordered someone to call Yan Qing over.Although Yan Qing's status in Liangshan is not low, he still doesn't have a place in the discussion like just now. During the festival, according to Song Qing's idea, if all goes well, he will launch a full-scale attack on Xixia in autumn, which is why he left Yue Fei in Taiyuan.

After a short time, Yan Qing rushed over.Today, he is the general on duty patrolling the city, and the guards who sent the order found him from the street.

After letting Yan Qing sit down, Song Qing chatted with him for a few words before asking: "Has your wife ever asked you when this king can send troops to avenge her?"

Yan Qing said with a little embarrassment: "No...no, she rarely mentions this to me now"

Any fool can see that Yan Qing is lying, Song Qing smiled and said: "You husband and wife go to Linzhou! First find a way to contact some people in the Tuoba tribe who can still be contacted. Although there are people in the inner guard, But it’s not as accurate as your information, once you figure out the situation, report it to me immediately.”

Yan Qing was pleasantly surprised: "Qiantui is going to use troops against Xixia?"

"This is just a preliminary idea. I will send someone to inform you when there is definite news."

What could make Yan Qing more happy than this news, you must know that because of this matter, he had a lot of troubles with Li Xueer, and now it is finally time to see the sun and the moon.

He happily agreed, said goodbye and left.

Song Qing decided to send troops to Xixia, of course he had his own ideas.

Needless to say the reasons for not sending troops to Zhao Song, Dali has now been brought under the rule, and although the Kingdom of Jin is constantly at war, its overall strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Song Qing's policy towards the Kingdom of Jin is still based on chaos, so there is only Xixia in the surrounding area.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is no excuse for sending troops to Xixia, but as Wu Yong said, is it not easy to find an excuse?

According to the news from the inner guards from the desert, Yelu Dashi has retreated further west after losing successive battles under Jin Guo's men.

Where is it further west?In addition to Inner Mongolia is Xin Jiang, which was once the land of the Han.If Xixia is taken down, the Hexi Corridor can be opened up and the traffic with the Western Regions can be opened up.

Song and Qing's ambitions are not great, they just hope to restore the land of the strong Han period.

And the deeper meaning of sending troops to Xixia is to train soldiers.

Song Qing remembered that someone said that a country that is warlike will perish, and if it forgets the war, it will be in danger.The Central Plains people are not a warlike nation, but if they cannot maintain the best fighting condition at all times, sooner or later they will be taken advantage of by foreign races.

Therefore, the invasion of Xixia should be regarded as the best military training!
