I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 216 It's Lively

Another four or five days passed, during which there were morning courts and court proceedings, but no one mentioned the matter of cement.

Zhao Xi was a little strange, even his father was a little anxious.Zhao Zhen also didn't want to rely on the water transportation of the Bian River for nearly a million soldiers and civilians.

Could it be that Xianggong has seen through his tricks?The problem is, Zhao Xi doesn't think that seeing through it will affect their investment.Why is there the current situation?
"Your Highness, the new currency has been exchanged for the old currency, and it is already one-to-two."

Although Qianjian was completed, the imperial court also gave copper mines, even manganese mines have been transported over, and Dongchuan has even started to operate.

But His Royal Highness has not allowed the money supervisor to operate normally, and even suppressed the output of new coins.

No, the new coins are already one-to-two, and they are still the old copper six coins.

Hearing what Su Song said, Zhao Xi understood.It turns out that cement is slow to get money, but the hype of the new currency is quick to get money.

Well, it's really no wonder I'm here.

"Order Lu Jiao to delay his return to Beijing, and the guard battalion sent a soldier from the capital to Chengdu Road, trained [-] troops from Chengdu Road, and set up a land transportation team for the Yangtze River Shipping and the Shu Road to Guanzhong."

"After the Yangtze River shipping reaches Jingchu South Road, it turns to the northwest, takes the Han River, and then uses both water and land. The Shu road is mainly transported by Yunnan horses. All copper ore transportation should avoid water transport routes."

"I will prepare all the regulations tomorrow, and the soldiers of the Xiqu Guard Battalion will carry them and deliver them to Lu to teach. The training of the Xiang army is subject to the regulations."

"I don't care about the process. I told Professor Lu that in March, at the latest after March, I need a large amount of copper-iron ore and white lead to Beijing."

"In addition, Su taught that Guangnan must be notified, and the demand for manganese ore must be guaranteed! And the transportation should not be borrowed from the imperial court as much as possible, and it should be in the name of merchants."

"Use all the money and food obtained from the exchange of new coins in the near future to ensure that after three months, the raw materials for minting 500 million new coins will be ready."

"Ming Zhong, you need to work overtime to complete the construction of the copper and iron furnace within three months. Even if the reward is increased, it must be completed."

The right to dispose of the Xiang army is in the local area, and the way out for the [-] Xiang army is solved without the burden of the court.

Zhao Xi originally wanted to invite the court together with the track line road construction soldiers and road guard soldiers.

Now!
Zhao Xi was really on fire.Ming Lu pointed it out, and if he insisted on not leaving, he liked to hit the wall with his eyes closed in a dead-end alley.Well, let you know it hurts.

The new coins are still the same as before, and the old and new coins are distributed as usual every month. Although the amount of the country and the states is small, they will also be matched with a part of the new coins.

The overall amount is equivalent to the copper ingots provided by the imperial court. That is to say, the imperial court has a good understanding of the number of coins minted by the Bianliang Qianjian.

To be honest, with such a minting situation, it is impossible for the new coins to return to the so-called value within three to five years... This is what His Royal Highness said.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the value of coins is the face value, which is bestowed by the court, and the court should have the final say on whether it is high or low.

This is not the case now, in the whole country, in many states, counties and counties in the world, it should be said that there is no place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said...a penny for a new coin.

It is the new currency benchmark that His Royal Highness said... food, the same.The old coin was thirty cents, while the new coin was fifteen cents or even ten cents a bucket.

Even those grain merchants feel that hyping up the new currency should bring money quickly.

Except for those pure grassroots, all those with a little bit of ability are paying attention to the new coins.

When I went to Fan Lou at this time, the most talked about topic must be the new currency, which was more attractive than those leading ladies.

If the new coins had just appeared, it would be considered a novelty to exchange four copper coins for three new copper coins.

But just because of the start of this novel exchange, after nearly half a year of market verification, more and more new coins appeared, not only did not make this exchange wind down, but intensified.

Because, compared with the old coins of the dynasty, the beauty, hardness, color, texture, and storage and anti-imitation functions of the new coins are far stronger than any version of the old coins. It needs to be rinsed with water, but it is still as bright as new.

Someone really tried it, not just one.

Therefore, this makes those landlords and old rich who have stored a lot of copper coins scramble to buy new coins.

Originally, the officials of the state and court still spent a penny, but as time went by, the new currency rose higher and higher, almost to the point where there was no market for the price.

And from the news from Jiangzuojian and Zhengshitang, everyone knows the circulation of the new currency... If you want to replace the old currency of Guochao, it will be difficult to achieve it in three to five years.

Nowadays, Guochao mints 300 million guan coins every year. After throwing away the loss, dispersing to foreign countries, and the amount owned by the grassroots, there must be 500 million guan coins in existence.

How easy is it to achieve what His Royal Highness said, that every penny is every penny?

No, the imperial court seems to be aware of this situation... This month, the distribution of silver and gold coins has been significantly increased, and there is even an intention to exchange the new copper coins back.

Unfortunately, when gold and silver coins appeared, a lot of copper coins also appeared...

Don't think that the market only likes copper coins. As long as they are new coins, no matter gold, silver or copper, they will be looted.

"Your Majesty, fellow ministers and workers, the exchange of new coins is now so fierce that it has reached the level of one-to-three-four. I implore the imperial court to publicize the formula for casting new coins so that all nine money supervisors in the country can mint coins. In order to alleviate the chaos of the country's money shortage."

Someone couldn't hold back anymore, this should be Qian Jian's spokesperson, right?

"Pure nonsense! What is the money shortage? The imperial court did not recycle the old coins, and now the old and new coins are in circulation, which actually increases the number of coins. Where does the money shortage you say come from?"

Well, this one should be the owner with a lot of new coins in hand.

In the whole country, there are those who really belong to the court, such as Bao Heizi, such as Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Zeng Gongliang, etc., can also be counted as half.

To get to the step of being a slaughterer, the integrity of most people is still passable.

For example, Lao Bao, Zhao Xi heard that this old boy used new coins to buy daily goods in order to save money.

But now that they are talking nonsense, Zhao Xi has to consider their position.

This is also good, you don't need to talk too much, you are already on the bar, all you need to do is watch the show.

"Insufficient new currency, if this continues, it will inevitably hurt the foundation of the country, and the people will be displaced because of lack of money, which will cause the people to live in dire straits."

Alarmists, just talking nonsense, did not say their purpose.

"It's a bunch of nonsense! Has the common people ever participated in the current trend of exchanging old and new coins? Is it different from before the new coins were issued?"

Makes sense, it's a fact.Judging from the statement of His Royal Highness that the coins are linked to the grain, the grain has not risen, and it will not hurt the farmers.

"Since the government wants to promote new coins, why not order all nine money supervisors to mint coins?"

"The emperor of Qin was unified, and even made a unified currency. The reason why the nine money supervisors minted coins in the country must be clear to everyone. Now His Royal Highness has set up a copper mine in Dali, and the country has no worries about copper shortage. It only needs to use copper The mine is mined and delivered to water transport, and it can reach Bianliang in a few days..."

The latter stopped listening.At the beginning, Zhao Xi thought he was a sensible person, but after hearing...it turned out that he was in the position of water transportation.
