I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 218 Not Joking
This position of water transportation should be the most politically wise. What he said, except for the obvious negation of the nine money supervisors, took care of everything else.

Even Zhao Xi seemed to be leaning towards him at first.

As for those who got new coins in their hands... It's already early winter, and the water transport obviously has to be suspended, that is to say, people have left them nearly half a year.

Everyone seems to be aware of the amount of new coins minted, don't look at His Royal Highness putting on such a big shelf by the Huimin River.

Just looking at the territory that His Highness the Crown Prince is enclosing now, it feels like building a new city.But everyone has been making coins for many years, and the basic output is clear.

The total amount of coins produced by the nine money supervisors in the country is only 300 million coins a year.How much can the new money supervisor have?What's more, the number of money supervisor craftsmen recruited by the guard camp is even more numerous, which is smaller than the number of the four major money supervisors in the early days of the Kingdom... Even he can't make many new coins.

There are fixed procedures for minting coins, from pottery fan, coin minting, polishing, etc., all of which are indispensable.With the level of sophistication of the new coins...they are all confident.

Each has its own ideas, and the result of the debate is to maintain the status quo.There is no way, those who own and acquire new coins account for the majority in the entire court, no matter whether they have good reasons or not, they cannot support the huge group base.

From the beginning to the end, the princes didn't get involved, they just watched each one yelling, and also looked at His Royal Highness, waiting for him to express his position, and even watching the officials, hoping to see something tricky.

No, there was no performance at all, no anger from being yelled at, nor any worries, it seemed that the father and son had a plan in mind...

It is rare for Zhao Zhen to have a well-thought-out plan, especially in the messy situation during the court meeting, he will be annoyed most of the time.

Not this time.The son said that even if the formula is handed over to the imperial court, it will not be able to make new coins like the Bianliang Qianjian in other Qianjian.

As for the output of the new money supervisor, the son said again, the total amount of coins produced by the nine money supervisors of the Guochao is not as good as that of the Bianliang Qianjian.Even at the moment, the new money supervisor can complete the total amount of coins in the country for one year within three months.

What is there to worry about?It's nothing more than looking at the respective positions of these ministers and workers.

That's all for this matter, and it's put on hold again.

After a lapse of one and a half months, the exchange of old and new coins was once again placed in court for discussion.

This time the portion sizes were noticeably different.It was proposed by the right admonishing doctor, Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Bao Zheng Bao Xiren, the third division envoy Zhang Fangping Zhang Andao, and the political adviser Zeng Gongliang and Zeng Mingzhong jointly proposed it during the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, the trend of exchanging new and old coins is showing signs of being uncontrollable. Even the border market, and even the Shibo Department are in chaos due to the exchange of new and old coins. The old ministers request the court to formulate a strategy to stop the trend of exchanging .”

"Your Majesty, Guochao seems to have no worries about money shortages, but the deduction of the wind of exchange will eventually lead to the collapse of the old coins, and the new coins can't meet the needs. This situation is no different from the money shortage."

"Nowadays, the market has refused to accept the old currency, and it has become more and more serious. The people have no new currency. Once the old currency is rejected by the merchants, it will inevitably cause the price of the goods to rise. It has reached a desperate situation. I implore the court to take measures. measure."

"Nowadays, no matter whether the nine money supervisors mint coins at the same time, or the new money supervisor increases the amount of coins produced, it must not be left alone."

Is it that serious?No!Zhao Xi has been paying attention to what is going on in the market.He doesn't have the heart to toss his own Zhao Song, and he understands the laws of the market better.

Will it evolve to that point?definitely will.This was also what Zhao Xi had communicated with Zhang Fangping.

Half a month ago, Xinqianjian's storage capacity of new coins had reached 500 million coins.

Each of the two transportation lines is not enough to ensure the total amount of raw materials for minting coins, but it cannot be kept in a steady stream.

Moreover, after the last court meeting, Zhao Xi asked his father for some people... people from the Investigation Department of the Imperial City Department.This kind of people are distributed in the prefectures and counties of the state, and they are under the unified deployment and jurisdiction of Old Chen Lin.

Since that court meeting, the new money supervisor has been working in three shifts, resting people in the workshop, and making coins day and night.

At the same time, the Guard Battalion and the Investigation Department were scattered in the prefectures, counties and counties of the country, selling new coins, buying old coins, and transporting raw materials at the same time.

In more than a month, nearly 3 to [-] people have been serving the entire new and old coins.

Old Chen Lin would go to see it from time to time, he would take care of his children, don't let His Highness Prince's plans get in the way.

For a long time, old Chen Lin thought that the purpose of His Royal Highness's operation was to take advantage of the confusion of old and new coins, and to earn some money and food like a courtier.

When the supply of copper mines was insufficient, Chen Lin realized that he was wrong when he saw His Royal Highness put the recovered old coins directly into the furnace.

His Royal Highness is planning a big game.

Indeed, if you want to talk about making money, you have already made too much money at this time.In less than half a year, he has almost earned nearly a year's worth of commercial tax revenue in Bianliang...

"Your Highness, can Xin Qianjian respond to such a situation?"

It's not a question, it's more like an inquiry.

Fu Bi has been paying attention to this matter all the time, he can't see through it, but he didn't lose his ethics of being a butcher because of wealth, nor did he learn from Bao Xiren to save money and live his life as he should.

When it’s time to pay, use the new currency if you have the new currency at hand, and use the old currency if you have the old currency.

He could feel that His Royal Highness was setting up a situation, but he couldn't see who would be buried in this situation.Because he couldn't imagine the minting efficiency of the new money supervisor.

The new Qianjian may not be able to achieve the purely mechanized operations of the later generations, but compared with the current world, the efficiency has been increased by more than three to five times.

The process of making coins has not changed, what has changed is the production process.

The mother model is not one or two, three or five coin models, but dozens or hundreds of mother models.

Su Song, a mechanical expert, gave full play to his talent in coin making.

Not to mention the expansion and improvement of the melting furnace, but the process after melting... First, it is rolled with that kind of roller-style machinery, and then squeezed in two heavy manganese steel matrix...

Zhao Xi doesn't understand the steel rolling of the later generations, but he is really satisfied with Su Song's craftsmanship to this extent.

"In three days... Just three days later, all the prefectures and counties of the country will carry out the new and old exchanges in a unified way. One-to-one exchange, regardless of merchants, people, officials, monks, or Taoism, they will be treated equally."

Zhao Xi still couldn't bear it, and finally gave some time to these people in the court.

The hole he dug was not small, and he could bury many people, but he still let go of the courtiers... The purpose was for merchants, and the reason why he brought the courtiers along with him was a little angry.

But at the last moment, he let it go.

"Your Highness, this place is the court hall!"

Fu Bi may be out of good intentions. His Royal Highness's remarks are too shocking, and I worry that it is reckless.

"Fu Xiang, Xi knows that this place is the imperial court, and he has no intention of joking with the princes. The so-called three days is the time for the imperial edict to reach the state capitals. In addition, Xi implores the imperial court to arrive at the state capitals and counties at the same time. Release, don’t harm people in remote counties and counties because of unequal information.”
