The roar of Song Lord echoed in the hall for a long time, and Cheng Zongyang was stunned: Yue Niaoren, you are so creative, can the twelve gold medals be used like this?
I understand, you are deliberately avenging Yue Fei? Yue Fei was unjustly killed in his previous life. Here you want to let His Majesty Song, the state of Song, die unjustly!
Lao Yue, you are cruel enough. Master Song was a baby back then, so you blackmailed him like this? More than 2,700 kilograms of gold, even if you hit a golden coffin, you can't use it all, you are so arrogant, no wonder you were struck by lightning!
Oh... I only found out today that you were struck by lightning. No wonder Boss Meng and the others refused to say that it turned out that you could encounter such a bird that was struck by God with lightning. No wonder the bird man said that your luck was really bad, otherwise why wouldn't God slash me?
Cheng Zongyang was complaining in his stomach, and suddenly thought of his own experience with Duan Qiang. He had never been hit by lightning, but he would not make fun of him. But Yue Niaoren was struck by lightning, so why did he feel strange?
Master Song was obviously angry, and only after roaring, he realized that he had lost his composure
He calmed down his emotions. In order to dilute the influence of the words just now, Lord Song slowed down and said warmly: The royal palace may not be worth one million gold baht, not to mention that there is one million. Even if I am rich in the world, I know that it is not a small amount of money, a businessman in the Qing family, how can he take it out?
Cheng Zongyang said passionately: Since I am a guest minister of the Song Dynasty, I will do my best to help the country and relieve my worries, which is my duty!
Master Song was not moved by his passion and generosity, and he still couldn't let go of the paper money in his words.
It is terrifying to fill gold with paper. What if the businessman refuses to accept it?
Master Song said worriedly: It’s okay that paper money cannot be implemented, but it will not be a matter of millions of gold coins if it hurts the court’s dignity.
This Song Lord is not a foolish person and has a bad heart. Is he Renzong or Xiaozong?
Cheng Zongyang muttered in his heart and said, "I am going to set up a grain shop in Lin'an. When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue summoned all merchants to buy grain with paper money, I instructed my own grain shop to accept the banknotes first. Set an example. If it can arouse the patriotism of our Song Dynasty merchants, accept the banknotes and share the worries of the country, it is naturally best if you can't, you can return the coins to avoid turmoil."
Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: This is a businessman's trick. He dare not insult the sage. He just relieves His Majesty's worries.
Master Song said: In this way, if paper money is difficult to implement, the Qing family will take over it?
Cheng Zongyang said: It will not affect the reputation of the court
Lord Song didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while, he said: I only know today that there are big merchants like the Qing family, who are as rich as the country.
Cheng Zongyang secretly called something wrong: he was so swollen that he was fat, but he was so arrogant that he was more face than Master Song. If Master Song was Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn’t he become Chen Wansan?
Your Majesty, I am just a native of Panjiang. In terms of property, the wealthy family in the Song Dynasty carried a lot of cars. My industry was only medium. However, in terms of operation of funds, I have some experience. Therefore, I dared to use two cents of principal. The paper money that operated ten cents also knew the risks. However, the wealthy family in the Song Dynasty could not think of this. My Song Dynasty had an urgent need. I am not willing to lose all my money for state affairs.
Master Song sighed: If everyone is like Cheng Qing, why worry about my Song Dynasty not going to prosper! What is the difficulty in the Qing family? Even if you say it
Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: I dare not disturb the sage, but these paper money is actually used by the government. I beg your Majesty to approve that these paper money must be used to pay taxes.
Should be like this!
The Song Lord responded and said: I heard from Jia Xiang that all the paper money is printed by Qing’s money house, and it is quite inappropriate to deliver it to the Ministry of Revenue for use.
Cheng Zongyang felt a little nervous, but he did not dare to show his face. He said respectfully: Please make clear to your Majesty.
Since these banknotes can be paid for taxes, they are legal money approved by our Song Dynasty court
Song Master said slowly: This Cheng family money house can be said to be a half-official and half-businessman. The printed banknotes must be used by the government and must not be issued privately. If you intend to print banknotes separately for private use, the court will not stop them, but you must not pay taxes in the name of Cheng family money house.
When Cheng Zongyang was frightened, he heard the Song Lord say again: As for the official banknotes issued by the Cheng Money House, I have issued an edict, and the Ministry of Revenue stamped the seal on the back of the Ministry of Revenue, the official banknotes must be supervised by the Cheng Money House and the Ministry of Revenue. The annual issuance quota must also be reported and read by me.
Cheng Zongyang lamented in his heart: This Song Lord was much more attentive than Jia Shixian, and an edict cut off his idea of taking advantage of the situation.
Master Song said: Don’t worry, with me and Grand Master Jia here, the court will never do anything to kill chickens and get eggs.
Thank you Lord, Longyou!
Is there any more?
Cheng Zong’s heart is upset, there is!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't look up at the expression of Master Song, so he could only stare at the tip of his boots and said in a heavy tone: I came from Yunzhou. Now the food price in Yunzhou is twice as high as in previous years, and nearly 20% of it exceeds Lin'an. Now spring is already in the beginning, but no one is farming in the fields, just because the men and Zhuang are in labor service...
Master Song's boots stopped in front of Cheng Zongyang, and then interrupted him. Military affairs are not something you can discuss.
I am Wailang, the Ministry of Works' Department of Military Affairs, and I only discuss agricultural affairs.
Cheng Zongyang said: It is the time to sow. Once you miss the farming season, I am afraid that this autumn harvest will be less than last year's grain price this year is already fifteen silver baht per stone. If the harvest is bad this year, I dare not guess the price of grain at this time next year, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up for the loss if it is issued ten times the banknotes at that time.
Lord Song took a few quick steps, and then said coldly: Do I know if I still have it?
And what happened to your non-existent nanny! Cheng Zongyang thought to himself: Damn, I am stupid, Meng Niang is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, music, dance, embroidery, burning incense, how could she be a nanny? Ninety percent of the concubines in the palace! Gao Qiu, you, a traitor, dare to lie to me!
As long as you don't miss farming this year, I have no other requests
Master Song did not mention this matter again, but only encouraged him: Do it well, don't make any mistakes in money matters
Observation of the subject
Take your leave
Cheng Zongyang retreated to the hall before he quickly glanced at Master Song's magnificent imperial throne with a bead curtain hanging down next to the magnificent imperial throne. In front of him was a young man in a casual dragon robe.
It turns out that the Song Lord is very white, with red lips and white teeth, and a jade-like face. He looks quite handsome. He is very comparable to the little fox, but he has two more handsome beards, which are quite as handsome as a hero.
Unlike the foolish monarchs of Huizong, Qinzong, and Lizong, who are more handsome than Taizu and Taizong, are they Shenzong?
It won't be that short-lived, right?
Cheng Zongyang only glanced at him and left the hall. After he left, Lord Song took up his pen and wrote the three words Cheng Zongyang on the corner of the white screen behind him. Then he pondered for a long time and wrote the two words Gong and Hu.
When Cheng Zongyang came out, Tong Guan was no longer outside the hall, so he had to find another time to ask him out and find out the inside story.
Cheng Zongyang really wanted to question Gao Qiu in person, what was going on with Meng Niang? But now he would definitely not be able to ask anything.
Gao Qiu's loyalty to the Yuewu people is not suspicious at all. Some things may be inconvenient to say more. For example, Gao Yanei was entrusted by Yueniao people. Gao Qiu didn't mention it at all. It might not be believed in him. It was just that the matter was too big. Just like he knew Gao Qiu's identity, he did not dare to reveal to anyone that such a thing would be bloody when it leaked. Sometimes it was better than knowing it.
But what is the relationship between high IQ and Yueniaoren? Is it the baby of Yueniaoren?
No way? If you let the dead girl meet and know that her brother is of this kind, why don’t you kill this cheap brother immediately so as not to lose her face?
Ao Run and Yu Ziyuan were waiting outside, and they were relieved when they saw Cheng Zongyang coming out safely.
Yu Ziyuan greeted him and said: How?
Cheng Zongyang said: I have never kowtowed to living people in my life. To put it in the worst, my personality is insulted; to put it in the best, my life is now complete
Yu Ziyuan couldn't help laughing at it
Ao Run said: Cheng Touer, Gao Yanei just sent someone to invite you to Cuiweiyuan
What happened?
It's nothing, I just haven't seen the young master for two days. Gao Yanei said he missed his master
Don't go
Cheng Zongyang refused to say nothing about himself and Gao Yanei's little boy. As for Ruan Xiangning, although Jian Yuji said it nicely and gave him a warm bed to show kindness, but at the critical moment of the food war, he hugged this unknown bomb in his arms, and he was really crazy.
Cheng Zongyang said that he would buy a grain shop next to Lin'an and encourage Lin'an to directly collect paper money. It is not a lie that there are mostly the shadow of the royal family and the powerful behind the big and small chambers of commerce in Lin'an. However, there are two unobtrusive grain stores. The real owner is the Yun's Chamber of Commerce.
Cheng Zongyang did not intend to come to the dark side, but provided his plan to Jia Shixian with the tacit consent of the powerful minister of Song State. As soon as the news that the Ministry of Revenue summoned the city's grain merchants, Qin Hui brought the old shopkeeper of the grain store to Fanjiayuan as a new deacon.
Fanjiayuan is a famous restaurant in Lin'an. Three days ago, officials from the Ministry of Revenue booked a small building in the garden and invited grain merchants from Lin'an to attend the meeting.
The Ministry of Revenue treats guests. To be honest, no grain store is willing to come, but no grain store dares not come.
Before noon, more than 20 deacons and shopkeepers of grain shops rushed to the garden one after another. One or two fewer, three or five more. Soon, dozens of people gathered in the hall, whispering in groups of three or five.
Cheng Zongyang watched coldly. The grain merchants had different temperaments and looked different, but there was only one thing that was almost the same: their faces were not very good-looking. It was no wonder that many of the merchants in Lin'an were all very good-looking, and some people were behind the scenes. Before coming here, these people heard the news and knew that this meal was not delicious.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: There is something to be beaten today in this verbal lawsuit
Liao Qunyu smiled bitterly, and she had no idea at all.
The meeting was presided over by a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, and several officials from Lin'an Prefecture, Liao Qunyu, who had the most special status. He had no official position, but he attended the meeting on behalf of Xiangye Jia.
After a while, Qin Hui also came in. He pushed the two shopkeepers to the front desk, sat quietly behind him, and shook his eyes at the head of the family from afar.
Cheng Zongyang was sure that no one was sure about issuing paper money. The Ministry of Revenue repeatedly considered and came up with a plan to issue one million gold baht in each prefecture and county to explore the details. As for the original proposal to raise corresponding money money for each prefecture and county, due to the tight finances of each prefecture and county, it was also reduced to half.
In this way, the issuance quota of Lin'an is tentatively set to be 400,000 yuan in paper money and 200,000 yuan. According to the Ministry of Revenue, if half of the issuance is available, you can report to Jia Xiangye and His Majesty if you can make half of the issuance, you can report to Jia Xiangye and His Majesty.
Six hundred thousand gold baht, and a total of 800,000 stones of grain can be purchased at the current price of grain; the two grain banks in the Yun family in Lin'an control more than 400,000 stones of grain, so Cheng Zongyang was full of confidence. Even if none of them were willing to collect paper money, it would not be difficult to eat them all by himself.
Suddenly, Cheng Zongyang's eyes jumped and saw a young man swaying in, but it was Tao Hongmin
The grain merchants present knew the young owner of the Dow Money House and came forward to say hello.
Tao Hongmin is good at dancing, and does not have the arrogance of refusing to see Jia Shixian that day. After a greeting, the guest and the host and the guest were all happy. He came to Cheng Zongyang and smiled and said: Brother Cheng, we meet again.
Cheng Zongyang is very alert to this second-generation ancestor who knows his background. After all, his handle is in his hands. If he reveals that he has dated the bandits in Jiangzhou, he will be in trouble immediately.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Master Tao Wu is in a mood
Tao Hongmin said: I originally came to Fanjiayuan to eat yam soup. I heard that it was lively here. It would be fine if it was Lin'an Mansion, and even the Ministry of Revenue came. After all, I decided, could it be the money house? If it were this, Brother Cheng would definitely be there, but I would like to guess it right!
Suddenly, a wood in the hall shook, and the official from the Ministry of Revenue said loudly: The time has arrived! Chen Fucheng, how many businesses have come?
Chen Fucheng from Lin'an Prefecture calculates the number, twenty-six
The doctor from the Ministry of Revenue nodded and raised his voice: Everyone! The purpose of inviting everyone to come today is probably the shopkeepers who know some of the discussions you have just said, and Cai also heard it a little. It’s just for the banknotes!
The official spoke eloquently and talked about the origin, purpose and how to use the banknotes. He said for half an hour, and then said: Businesses are all over the Six Dynasties, and they are not allowed to do business in daily life. If it weren’t for my Song Dynasty, how could you have today? It’s true that the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Now that our government has launched papernotes for both public and private purposes, I hope you all will understand the court’s wishes.
After saying that, the official picked up the teacup, leaned on the back of the chair and sucked it slowly, ignoring the businessmen.
When Cheng Zongyang heard that the official spoke with brisk words, had a clear speech and a thorough understanding of the banknotes, he couldn't help but ask: Who is this person?
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: Brother Cheng doesn’t even know Cai Yuanchang?
Cai Yuanchang...I don't really know this
Cai Yuanchang is a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue Department. He was born in the Jinshi, with a single name of Jing.
Cheng Zongyang cried out in his heart: Cai Jing! Okay, all the famous figures of the treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty have arrived.
Even though he was used to seeing celebrities, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but look at the treacherous minister a few more times.
Tao Hongmin said: Brother Cheng has a good vision. Cai Yuanchang is indeed a character, but...
He quietly made a gesture of making money
Cheng Zongyang understood the good news that Qin Hui, a traitorous minister, was not famous for his corruption, otherwise he would be worried about handing over the business to him.
After Cai Yuanchang finished speaking, the hall was silent for a quarter of an hour. Finally, an old man stood up and sighed: The food price is high now, and the business of the young people is not easy to do, but since Doctor Cai talks about sharing the worries of the country, even the young people are merchants, they know the righteousness. Let's do this, we will subscribe to 4,000 stones for Tongyuanxing!
As soon as the old shopkeeper opened his mouth, someone said below, some subscribed to 2,000 s, and some subscribed to 500 s. If this continues, more than 20 grain stores may not be able to make up even 50,000 s.
Cai Yuanchang put the teacup on the table
Manager Liu said it well, now the price of grain is high, and each stone costs 1,500 copper baht, which is 1,500 silver baht. The 4,000 silver baht is 60,000 silver baht. The price of 3,000 gold baht is based on the ratio of two golds and one gold. Tongyuanxing got it with two thousand paper money and one thousand golds.
Cai Yuanchang sneered: When Tongyuanxing purchased this batch of grain, would it be the price of three silver chunks per stone or five silver chunks? I am afraid that the cost is less than one thousand gold chunks and it will not only make a reputation, but also make 2,000 banknotes in vain. It is indeed a good business.
The old shopkeeper Liu blushed slightly and said: "Doctor Cai Mingjian, this is not the case. It is said that "the goods are calculated at that time."
Cai Yuanchang interrupted him. I talked about state affairs with you, but you talked about these business affairs with me?
Manager Liu lowered his eyes, but his words were filled with bones. It is natural to share the worries of the country, but he cannot let hundreds of people in the small quotation drink the northwest wind
Tao Hongmin laughed in a low voice: The boss behind Tongyuanxing is Ning Wang's nephew and Liang Jiedu's younger brother. Cai Yuanchang is just a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and he is afraid that he can't kick this big stone.
A long laugh suddenly sounded in the hall, and a businessman Shi Shiran stood up and bowed: Doctor Cai is right, where can we grain merchants make money in their business? Why bother to be petty about state affairs?
Tao Hongmin looked at Qin Huizhi with great interest
You, a Qin clerk, are a good material for being an official.
Cheng Zongyang said: Old Qin Wen is good, but he is a novice in business, which makes Tao Wuye laugh.
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: It seems that Brother Cheng is here prepared this time
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: It takes some effort to open a business.
Tao Hongmin was stunned, then understood and smiled: It turned out to be Brother Cheng's method, and I, Tao Wu, almost missed the truth.
Cai Yuanchang nodded in the hall and said: You have heard the words of this shopkeeper? The businessman is based on sincerity, and he must not forget the four words "benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness"
Qin Hui and Cai Yuanchang sang together, causing the merchants next to him to take a needle and swept the eyes of Manager Liu. A young man next to him stood up: This man, how much do you Yunhaixing subscribe to?
Qin Hui calmly raised a finger, 100,000 stones
As soon as this number came out, the merchants present suddenly became dumbfounded Cai Yuanchang ignored the grain merchants' faces. He immediately spread out the paper and wrote the document in person, which was signed by Qin Hui.
Cai Yuanchang looked at Qin Hui's pen and praised: Mr. Qin has a good handwriting!
Qin Hui put down his pen, how could he get the elegance between the lines of Cai Langzhong?
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed, with a little sympathy between them.
Cheng Zongyang sneered in his stomach: The smell is similar! It’s stingy!
One of these two treacherous ministers was once among the four great masters, and the other was invented in delicate style and had extraordinary calligraphy skills. Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but want to collect the document signed by the two treacherous ministers.
There are two grain shops controlled by the Yun family. Qin Hui's 100,000 stones were just throwing bricks and attracting jade. The reactions of the grain merchants who knew that the grain merchants looked different, some of them gritted their teeth secretly, some seemed to be moved, but they all aimed at Manager Liu. The brick that Qin Hui threw was not even heard of the sound of water.
If you take out the killer moves at this moment, you will have no trump card to play. Cheng Zongyang quietly gave Qin Hui a wink, asking him to find a way to break the deadlock
The traitorous minister raised his eyebrows slightly, then handed the signed document to the case, and said with a smile: The young man has not seen the true appearance of the banknotes yet, I wonder if it can be delivered here?
Cai Yuanchang hit the two palms and took the banknotes!
Two officials from the Ministry of Revenue brought an iron box and each opened the lock. Then Cai Yuanchang personally took off the key from his waist, opened the last lock, and took out a piece of paper money from it.
No special paper was created in a hurry. The banknotes were made of rice paper, about four inches long and more than two inches wide. The top was written by Qin Hui by Qin Jiang Cheng's four-character template, and the bottom was the Lin'an General Number of the Song Dynasty Money House. The middle was filled with the number
Further down is the anti-counterfeiting pattern, with red inside printed with 10,000 yuan. There is a string of strange handwriting at the bottom, but it is Cheng Zongyang's English signature and fingerprint. On the back of the banknote is a bright red seal of the Ministry of Revenue. The paper is extremely thick. It has just been printed, but the seal is still new.
One hundred thousand stones of grain, a total of 75,000 gold baht. Each of these bills is ten thousand guan, and 50,000 gold baht is a total of ten pieces.
Cai Yuanchang personally ordered ten pieces and gave them to Qin Hui and Qin Hui to hold them in both hands, and carefully examined them, and exclaimed: Good carving! Looking at this pattern, I am afraid that the best craftsmen in Lin'an City will be difficult to carve! Good paper! Good ink!
Dead traitor, just blow hard! You don’t blush if you make something you make!
Cai Yuanchang said: Mr. Qin, be careful. This one is only ten thousand coins. Ten pieces may not be as much as the weight of a gold baht, but it can be worth 50,000 gold baht!
Qin Hui exclaimed: It is indeed a favor between officials and the people! I heard that these banknotes can be exchanged in our Song Dynasty. Later, Qin did not have to bring a large amount of money to trade.
Cai Yuanchang said: If Mr. Qin is used elsewhere, it will be inconvenient this year that the first batch of money houses will only have five. In addition to Lin'an, there are also four places in Yangzhou, Yiling, Yunzhou and Mingzhou.
It is precisely the four parts of the country, southeast, northwest, and northeast, which is more convenient than transporting money from thousands of miles away.
The two treacherous ministers are a combination of heaven. They have both expressions in a play and are playing wonderfully. Liao Qunyu, who is originally the protagonist, has become a supporting role at this time, just watching the two perform.
Qin Hui walked towards his seat, holding the banknotes for everyone to see while walking. Many businessmen stretched their necks to see what the banknotes in his hand looked like. Manager Liu from Tongyuanxing did not raise his head and opened his eyes, and kept burying his head to eat tea.
As soon as he walked to Manager Liu, Qin Hui suddenly tripped under his feet. The handsome middle-aged man who had always been calm actually fell to the ground in such a mess. He fell to the ground in full view of everyone and threw the banknotes in his hand.
Qin Hui barely got up, not caring about picking up the banknotes, and pointed at the old shopkeeper next to him angrily and said: Storekeeper Liu! Although Qin has hurt your face, it is for state affairs! Even if there is any resentment, Qin will follow up! Why bother to make it ugly on the spot?
Manager Liu was dumbfounded: You...you...don't squirt with blood...
Cai Yuanchang, like Qin Hui, is a crystal monkey with exquisite orifices. How could he not know Qin Hui's behavior? Before Manager Liu finished his defense, Cai Yuanchang was already furious and threw a sound of the wood and shouted: Come on! Hurry out!
When Qin Hui returned to his position, the shopkeeper of Lin'an's largest grain store had been expelled from Fanjiayuan. Even if the grain merchants were tempted by money, they could see that the fire was coming. Then some merchants came forward to subscribe for 50,000 shi, and then subscribed for more than a dozen of them for 30,000 or 20,000.
Seeing that the fire had arrived, Cheng Zongyang secretly turned a blind eye. Dacheng Grain Store, which had not been open, subscribed to 300,000 shi, and the last small grain store reported a price of 300,000 shi. Twenty-five grain stores subscribed a total of 900,000 shi, which was 100,000 shi more than the expected amount.
Lin'an Mansion used a total of 225,000 gold baht, which was equivalent to only five silver baht per stone, which was not much more expensive than the harvest season. Another 450,000 gold baht was paid in 900,000 banknotes.
Liao Qunyu's hanging heart finally let go of Lin'an alone, and the issuance of paper money accounts for 15% of the total of 3 million gold baht. This achievement is enough to satisfy Taishi Jia and the Song court.
After this incident, Liao Qunyu also noticed that Cai Yuanchang's talent was able to issue all the quota, which was more than 100,000 yuan. He was not afraid of offending Ning Wang and Liang Shicheng. This doctor from the Ministry of Revenue is a capable material.
Liao Qunyu and Cai Yuanchang each obtained the money, and Cheng Zongyang was even more proud of it. The coins issued this time were 450,000 gold baht, of which 250,000 were taken away by grain merchants. Cheng Zongyang estimated that out of instinct for banknotes, about 200,000 gold baht of banknotes would be immediately exchanged into gold baht, and only about 50,000 gold baht, and each merchant would try to use it.
Calculation in this way, half of the principal of 400,000 will be taken away at once. Fortunately, the 400,000 shi of grain will be repaid for oneself, which means that there is still 300,000 gold baht of money to be used.
The remaining banknotes are issued in foreign counties. At least before these banknotes return to Lin'an, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy when the bank bank runs.
Tao Hongmin followed the scene and was still unsatisfied after the show ended. He invited Cheng Zongyang to go to Wazi Lei
Cheng Zongyang was busy with food and was in trouble. In addition, he had to be on guard against the threat of the Black Demon Sea, so he couldn't get away, so he had to refuse his invitation again.
Before leaving, Tao Hongmin said meaningfully: Today's business has opened my eyes. Brother Cheng, I am more and more optimistic about you.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Master Tao Wu is so proud of me. After these days, I will definitely be a host and ask Master Tao Wu to talk about it.
One word is determined!
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: I'm waiting for your news.
I understand, you are deliberately avenging Yue Fei? Yue Fei was unjustly killed in his previous life. Here you want to let His Majesty Song, the state of Song, die unjustly!
Lao Yue, you are cruel enough. Master Song was a baby back then, so you blackmailed him like this? More than 2,700 kilograms of gold, even if you hit a golden coffin, you can't use it all, you are so arrogant, no wonder you were struck by lightning!
Oh... I only found out today that you were struck by lightning. No wonder Boss Meng and the others refused to say that it turned out that you could encounter such a bird that was struck by God with lightning. No wonder the bird man said that your luck was really bad, otherwise why wouldn't God slash me?
Cheng Zongyang was complaining in his stomach, and suddenly thought of his own experience with Duan Qiang. He had never been hit by lightning, but he would not make fun of him. But Yue Niaoren was struck by lightning, so why did he feel strange?
Master Song was obviously angry, and only after roaring, he realized that he had lost his composure
He calmed down his emotions. In order to dilute the influence of the words just now, Lord Song slowed down and said warmly: The royal palace may not be worth one million gold baht, not to mention that there is one million. Even if I am rich in the world, I know that it is not a small amount of money, a businessman in the Qing family, how can he take it out?
Cheng Zongyang said passionately: Since I am a guest minister of the Song Dynasty, I will do my best to help the country and relieve my worries, which is my duty!
Master Song was not moved by his passion and generosity, and he still couldn't let go of the paper money in his words.
It is terrifying to fill gold with paper. What if the businessman refuses to accept it?
Master Song said worriedly: It’s okay that paper money cannot be implemented, but it will not be a matter of millions of gold coins if it hurts the court’s dignity.
This Song Lord is not a foolish person and has a bad heart. Is he Renzong or Xiaozong?
Cheng Zongyang muttered in his heart and said, "I am going to set up a grain shop in Lin'an. When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue summoned all merchants to buy grain with paper money, I instructed my own grain shop to accept the banknotes first. Set an example. If it can arouse the patriotism of our Song Dynasty merchants, accept the banknotes and share the worries of the country, it is naturally best if you can't, you can return the coins to avoid turmoil."
Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: This is a businessman's trick. He dare not insult the sage. He just relieves His Majesty's worries.
Master Song said: In this way, if paper money is difficult to implement, the Qing family will take over it?
Cheng Zongyang said: It will not affect the reputation of the court
Lord Song didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while, he said: I only know today that there are big merchants like the Qing family, who are as rich as the country.
Cheng Zongyang secretly called something wrong: he was so swollen that he was fat, but he was so arrogant that he was more face than Master Song. If Master Song was Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn’t he become Chen Wansan?
Your Majesty, I am just a native of Panjiang. In terms of property, the wealthy family in the Song Dynasty carried a lot of cars. My industry was only medium. However, in terms of operation of funds, I have some experience. Therefore, I dared to use two cents of principal. The paper money that operated ten cents also knew the risks. However, the wealthy family in the Song Dynasty could not think of this. My Song Dynasty had an urgent need. I am not willing to lose all my money for state affairs.
Master Song sighed: If everyone is like Cheng Qing, why worry about my Song Dynasty not going to prosper! What is the difficulty in the Qing family? Even if you say it
Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: I dare not disturb the sage, but these paper money is actually used by the government. I beg your Majesty to approve that these paper money must be used to pay taxes.
Should be like this!
The Song Lord responded and said: I heard from Jia Xiang that all the paper money is printed by Qing’s money house, and it is quite inappropriate to deliver it to the Ministry of Revenue for use.
Cheng Zongyang felt a little nervous, but he did not dare to show his face. He said respectfully: Please make clear to your Majesty.
Since these banknotes can be paid for taxes, they are legal money approved by our Song Dynasty court
Song Master said slowly: This Cheng family money house can be said to be a half-official and half-businessman. The printed banknotes must be used by the government and must not be issued privately. If you intend to print banknotes separately for private use, the court will not stop them, but you must not pay taxes in the name of Cheng family money house.
When Cheng Zongyang was frightened, he heard the Song Lord say again: As for the official banknotes issued by the Cheng Money House, I have issued an edict, and the Ministry of Revenue stamped the seal on the back of the Ministry of Revenue, the official banknotes must be supervised by the Cheng Money House and the Ministry of Revenue. The annual issuance quota must also be reported and read by me.
Cheng Zongyang lamented in his heart: This Song Lord was much more attentive than Jia Shixian, and an edict cut off his idea of taking advantage of the situation.
Master Song said: Don’t worry, with me and Grand Master Jia here, the court will never do anything to kill chickens and get eggs.
Thank you Lord, Longyou!
Is there any more?
Cheng Zong’s heart is upset, there is!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't look up at the expression of Master Song, so he could only stare at the tip of his boots and said in a heavy tone: I came from Yunzhou. Now the food price in Yunzhou is twice as high as in previous years, and nearly 20% of it exceeds Lin'an. Now spring is already in the beginning, but no one is farming in the fields, just because the men and Zhuang are in labor service...
Master Song's boots stopped in front of Cheng Zongyang, and then interrupted him. Military affairs are not something you can discuss.
I am Wailang, the Ministry of Works' Department of Military Affairs, and I only discuss agricultural affairs.
Cheng Zongyang said: It is the time to sow. Once you miss the farming season, I am afraid that this autumn harvest will be less than last year's grain price this year is already fifteen silver baht per stone. If the harvest is bad this year, I dare not guess the price of grain at this time next year, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up for the loss if it is issued ten times the banknotes at that time.
Lord Song took a few quick steps, and then said coldly: Do I know if I still have it?
And what happened to your non-existent nanny! Cheng Zongyang thought to himself: Damn, I am stupid, Meng Niang is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, music, dance, embroidery, burning incense, how could she be a nanny? Ninety percent of the concubines in the palace! Gao Qiu, you, a traitor, dare to lie to me!
As long as you don't miss farming this year, I have no other requests
Master Song did not mention this matter again, but only encouraged him: Do it well, don't make any mistakes in money matters
Observation of the subject
Take your leave
Cheng Zongyang retreated to the hall before he quickly glanced at Master Song's magnificent imperial throne with a bead curtain hanging down next to the magnificent imperial throne. In front of him was a young man in a casual dragon robe.
It turns out that the Song Lord is very white, with red lips and white teeth, and a jade-like face. He looks quite handsome. He is very comparable to the little fox, but he has two more handsome beards, which are quite as handsome as a hero.
Unlike the foolish monarchs of Huizong, Qinzong, and Lizong, who are more handsome than Taizu and Taizong, are they Shenzong?
It won't be that short-lived, right?
Cheng Zongyang only glanced at him and left the hall. After he left, Lord Song took up his pen and wrote the three words Cheng Zongyang on the corner of the white screen behind him. Then he pondered for a long time and wrote the two words Gong and Hu.
When Cheng Zongyang came out, Tong Guan was no longer outside the hall, so he had to find another time to ask him out and find out the inside story.
Cheng Zongyang really wanted to question Gao Qiu in person, what was going on with Meng Niang? But now he would definitely not be able to ask anything.
Gao Qiu's loyalty to the Yuewu people is not suspicious at all. Some things may be inconvenient to say more. For example, Gao Yanei was entrusted by Yueniao people. Gao Qiu didn't mention it at all. It might not be believed in him. It was just that the matter was too big. Just like he knew Gao Qiu's identity, he did not dare to reveal to anyone that such a thing would be bloody when it leaked. Sometimes it was better than knowing it.
But what is the relationship between high IQ and Yueniaoren? Is it the baby of Yueniaoren?
No way? If you let the dead girl meet and know that her brother is of this kind, why don’t you kill this cheap brother immediately so as not to lose her face?
Ao Run and Yu Ziyuan were waiting outside, and they were relieved when they saw Cheng Zongyang coming out safely.
Yu Ziyuan greeted him and said: How?
Cheng Zongyang said: I have never kowtowed to living people in my life. To put it in the worst, my personality is insulted; to put it in the best, my life is now complete
Yu Ziyuan couldn't help laughing at it
Ao Run said: Cheng Touer, Gao Yanei just sent someone to invite you to Cuiweiyuan
What happened?
It's nothing, I just haven't seen the young master for two days. Gao Yanei said he missed his master
Don't go
Cheng Zongyang refused to say nothing about himself and Gao Yanei's little boy. As for Ruan Xiangning, although Jian Yuji said it nicely and gave him a warm bed to show kindness, but at the critical moment of the food war, he hugged this unknown bomb in his arms, and he was really crazy.
Cheng Zongyang said that he would buy a grain shop next to Lin'an and encourage Lin'an to directly collect paper money. It is not a lie that there are mostly the shadow of the royal family and the powerful behind the big and small chambers of commerce in Lin'an. However, there are two unobtrusive grain stores. The real owner is the Yun's Chamber of Commerce.
Cheng Zongyang did not intend to come to the dark side, but provided his plan to Jia Shixian with the tacit consent of the powerful minister of Song State. As soon as the news that the Ministry of Revenue summoned the city's grain merchants, Qin Hui brought the old shopkeeper of the grain store to Fanjiayuan as a new deacon.
Fanjiayuan is a famous restaurant in Lin'an. Three days ago, officials from the Ministry of Revenue booked a small building in the garden and invited grain merchants from Lin'an to attend the meeting.
The Ministry of Revenue treats guests. To be honest, no grain store is willing to come, but no grain store dares not come.
Before noon, more than 20 deacons and shopkeepers of grain shops rushed to the garden one after another. One or two fewer, three or five more. Soon, dozens of people gathered in the hall, whispering in groups of three or five.
Cheng Zongyang watched coldly. The grain merchants had different temperaments and looked different, but there was only one thing that was almost the same: their faces were not very good-looking. It was no wonder that many of the merchants in Lin'an were all very good-looking, and some people were behind the scenes. Before coming here, these people heard the news and knew that this meal was not delicious.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: There is something to be beaten today in this verbal lawsuit
Liao Qunyu smiled bitterly, and she had no idea at all.
The meeting was presided over by a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, and several officials from Lin'an Prefecture, Liao Qunyu, who had the most special status. He had no official position, but he attended the meeting on behalf of Xiangye Jia.
After a while, Qin Hui also came in. He pushed the two shopkeepers to the front desk, sat quietly behind him, and shook his eyes at the head of the family from afar.
Cheng Zongyang was sure that no one was sure about issuing paper money. The Ministry of Revenue repeatedly considered and came up with a plan to issue one million gold baht in each prefecture and county to explore the details. As for the original proposal to raise corresponding money money for each prefecture and county, due to the tight finances of each prefecture and county, it was also reduced to half.
In this way, the issuance quota of Lin'an is tentatively set to be 400,000 yuan in paper money and 200,000 yuan. According to the Ministry of Revenue, if half of the issuance is available, you can report to Jia Xiangye and His Majesty if you can make half of the issuance, you can report to Jia Xiangye and His Majesty.
Six hundred thousand gold baht, and a total of 800,000 stones of grain can be purchased at the current price of grain; the two grain banks in the Yun family in Lin'an control more than 400,000 stones of grain, so Cheng Zongyang was full of confidence. Even if none of them were willing to collect paper money, it would not be difficult to eat them all by himself.
Suddenly, Cheng Zongyang's eyes jumped and saw a young man swaying in, but it was Tao Hongmin
The grain merchants present knew the young owner of the Dow Money House and came forward to say hello.
Tao Hongmin is good at dancing, and does not have the arrogance of refusing to see Jia Shixian that day. After a greeting, the guest and the host and the guest were all happy. He came to Cheng Zongyang and smiled and said: Brother Cheng, we meet again.
Cheng Zongyang is very alert to this second-generation ancestor who knows his background. After all, his handle is in his hands. If he reveals that he has dated the bandits in Jiangzhou, he will be in trouble immediately.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Master Tao Wu is in a mood
Tao Hongmin said: I originally came to Fanjiayuan to eat yam soup. I heard that it was lively here. It would be fine if it was Lin'an Mansion, and even the Ministry of Revenue came. After all, I decided, could it be the money house? If it were this, Brother Cheng would definitely be there, but I would like to guess it right!
Suddenly, a wood in the hall shook, and the official from the Ministry of Revenue said loudly: The time has arrived! Chen Fucheng, how many businesses have come?
Chen Fucheng from Lin'an Prefecture calculates the number, twenty-six
The doctor from the Ministry of Revenue nodded and raised his voice: Everyone! The purpose of inviting everyone to come today is probably the shopkeepers who know some of the discussions you have just said, and Cai also heard it a little. It’s just for the banknotes!
The official spoke eloquently and talked about the origin, purpose and how to use the banknotes. He said for half an hour, and then said: Businesses are all over the Six Dynasties, and they are not allowed to do business in daily life. If it weren’t for my Song Dynasty, how could you have today? It’s true that the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Now that our government has launched papernotes for both public and private purposes, I hope you all will understand the court’s wishes.
After saying that, the official picked up the teacup, leaned on the back of the chair and sucked it slowly, ignoring the businessmen.
When Cheng Zongyang heard that the official spoke with brisk words, had a clear speech and a thorough understanding of the banknotes, he couldn't help but ask: Who is this person?
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: Brother Cheng doesn’t even know Cai Yuanchang?
Cai Yuanchang...I don't really know this
Cai Yuanchang is a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue Department. He was born in the Jinshi, with a single name of Jing.
Cheng Zongyang cried out in his heart: Cai Jing! Okay, all the famous figures of the treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty have arrived.
Even though he was used to seeing celebrities, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but look at the treacherous minister a few more times.
Tao Hongmin said: Brother Cheng has a good vision. Cai Yuanchang is indeed a character, but...
He quietly made a gesture of making money
Cheng Zongyang understood the good news that Qin Hui, a traitorous minister, was not famous for his corruption, otherwise he would be worried about handing over the business to him.
After Cai Yuanchang finished speaking, the hall was silent for a quarter of an hour. Finally, an old man stood up and sighed: The food price is high now, and the business of the young people is not easy to do, but since Doctor Cai talks about sharing the worries of the country, even the young people are merchants, they know the righteousness. Let's do this, we will subscribe to 4,000 stones for Tongyuanxing!
As soon as the old shopkeeper opened his mouth, someone said below, some subscribed to 2,000 s, and some subscribed to 500 s. If this continues, more than 20 grain stores may not be able to make up even 50,000 s.
Cai Yuanchang put the teacup on the table
Manager Liu said it well, now the price of grain is high, and each stone costs 1,500 copper baht, which is 1,500 silver baht. The 4,000 silver baht is 60,000 silver baht. The price of 3,000 gold baht is based on the ratio of two golds and one gold. Tongyuanxing got it with two thousand paper money and one thousand golds.
Cai Yuanchang sneered: When Tongyuanxing purchased this batch of grain, would it be the price of three silver chunks per stone or five silver chunks? I am afraid that the cost is less than one thousand gold chunks and it will not only make a reputation, but also make 2,000 banknotes in vain. It is indeed a good business.
The old shopkeeper Liu blushed slightly and said: "Doctor Cai Mingjian, this is not the case. It is said that "the goods are calculated at that time."
Cai Yuanchang interrupted him. I talked about state affairs with you, but you talked about these business affairs with me?
Manager Liu lowered his eyes, but his words were filled with bones. It is natural to share the worries of the country, but he cannot let hundreds of people in the small quotation drink the northwest wind
Tao Hongmin laughed in a low voice: The boss behind Tongyuanxing is Ning Wang's nephew and Liang Jiedu's younger brother. Cai Yuanchang is just a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and he is afraid that he can't kick this big stone.
A long laugh suddenly sounded in the hall, and a businessman Shi Shiran stood up and bowed: Doctor Cai is right, where can we grain merchants make money in their business? Why bother to be petty about state affairs?
Tao Hongmin looked at Qin Huizhi with great interest
You, a Qin clerk, are a good material for being an official.
Cheng Zongyang said: Old Qin Wen is good, but he is a novice in business, which makes Tao Wuye laugh.
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: It seems that Brother Cheng is here prepared this time
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: It takes some effort to open a business.
Tao Hongmin was stunned, then understood and smiled: It turned out to be Brother Cheng's method, and I, Tao Wu, almost missed the truth.
Cai Yuanchang nodded in the hall and said: You have heard the words of this shopkeeper? The businessman is based on sincerity, and he must not forget the four words "benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness"
Qin Hui and Cai Yuanchang sang together, causing the merchants next to him to take a needle and swept the eyes of Manager Liu. A young man next to him stood up: This man, how much do you Yunhaixing subscribe to?
Qin Hui calmly raised a finger, 100,000 stones
As soon as this number came out, the merchants present suddenly became dumbfounded Cai Yuanchang ignored the grain merchants' faces. He immediately spread out the paper and wrote the document in person, which was signed by Qin Hui.
Cai Yuanchang looked at Qin Hui's pen and praised: Mr. Qin has a good handwriting!
Qin Hui put down his pen, how could he get the elegance between the lines of Cai Langzhong?
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed, with a little sympathy between them.
Cheng Zongyang sneered in his stomach: The smell is similar! It’s stingy!
One of these two treacherous ministers was once among the four great masters, and the other was invented in delicate style and had extraordinary calligraphy skills. Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but want to collect the document signed by the two treacherous ministers.
There are two grain shops controlled by the Yun family. Qin Hui's 100,000 stones were just throwing bricks and attracting jade. The reactions of the grain merchants who knew that the grain merchants looked different, some of them gritted their teeth secretly, some seemed to be moved, but they all aimed at Manager Liu. The brick that Qin Hui threw was not even heard of the sound of water.
If you take out the killer moves at this moment, you will have no trump card to play. Cheng Zongyang quietly gave Qin Hui a wink, asking him to find a way to break the deadlock
The traitorous minister raised his eyebrows slightly, then handed the signed document to the case, and said with a smile: The young man has not seen the true appearance of the banknotes yet, I wonder if it can be delivered here?
Cai Yuanchang hit the two palms and took the banknotes!
Two officials from the Ministry of Revenue brought an iron box and each opened the lock. Then Cai Yuanchang personally took off the key from his waist, opened the last lock, and took out a piece of paper money from it.
No special paper was created in a hurry. The banknotes were made of rice paper, about four inches long and more than two inches wide. The top was written by Qin Hui by Qin Jiang Cheng's four-character template, and the bottom was the Lin'an General Number of the Song Dynasty Money House. The middle was filled with the number
Further down is the anti-counterfeiting pattern, with red inside printed with 10,000 yuan. There is a string of strange handwriting at the bottom, but it is Cheng Zongyang's English signature and fingerprint. On the back of the banknote is a bright red seal of the Ministry of Revenue. The paper is extremely thick. It has just been printed, but the seal is still new.
One hundred thousand stones of grain, a total of 75,000 gold baht. Each of these bills is ten thousand guan, and 50,000 gold baht is a total of ten pieces.
Cai Yuanchang personally ordered ten pieces and gave them to Qin Hui and Qin Hui to hold them in both hands, and carefully examined them, and exclaimed: Good carving! Looking at this pattern, I am afraid that the best craftsmen in Lin'an City will be difficult to carve! Good paper! Good ink!
Dead traitor, just blow hard! You don’t blush if you make something you make!
Cai Yuanchang said: Mr. Qin, be careful. This one is only ten thousand coins. Ten pieces may not be as much as the weight of a gold baht, but it can be worth 50,000 gold baht!
Qin Hui exclaimed: It is indeed a favor between officials and the people! I heard that these banknotes can be exchanged in our Song Dynasty. Later, Qin did not have to bring a large amount of money to trade.
Cai Yuanchang said: If Mr. Qin is used elsewhere, it will be inconvenient this year that the first batch of money houses will only have five. In addition to Lin'an, there are also four places in Yangzhou, Yiling, Yunzhou and Mingzhou.
It is precisely the four parts of the country, southeast, northwest, and northeast, which is more convenient than transporting money from thousands of miles away.
The two treacherous ministers are a combination of heaven. They have both expressions in a play and are playing wonderfully. Liao Qunyu, who is originally the protagonist, has become a supporting role at this time, just watching the two perform.
Qin Hui walked towards his seat, holding the banknotes for everyone to see while walking. Many businessmen stretched their necks to see what the banknotes in his hand looked like. Manager Liu from Tongyuanxing did not raise his head and opened his eyes, and kept burying his head to eat tea.
As soon as he walked to Manager Liu, Qin Hui suddenly tripped under his feet. The handsome middle-aged man who had always been calm actually fell to the ground in such a mess. He fell to the ground in full view of everyone and threw the banknotes in his hand.
Qin Hui barely got up, not caring about picking up the banknotes, and pointed at the old shopkeeper next to him angrily and said: Storekeeper Liu! Although Qin has hurt your face, it is for state affairs! Even if there is any resentment, Qin will follow up! Why bother to make it ugly on the spot?
Manager Liu was dumbfounded: You...you...don't squirt with blood...
Cai Yuanchang, like Qin Hui, is a crystal monkey with exquisite orifices. How could he not know Qin Hui's behavior? Before Manager Liu finished his defense, Cai Yuanchang was already furious and threw a sound of the wood and shouted: Come on! Hurry out!
When Qin Hui returned to his position, the shopkeeper of Lin'an's largest grain store had been expelled from Fanjiayuan. Even if the grain merchants were tempted by money, they could see that the fire was coming. Then some merchants came forward to subscribe for 50,000 shi, and then subscribed for more than a dozen of them for 30,000 or 20,000.
Seeing that the fire had arrived, Cheng Zongyang secretly turned a blind eye. Dacheng Grain Store, which had not been open, subscribed to 300,000 shi, and the last small grain store reported a price of 300,000 shi. Twenty-five grain stores subscribed a total of 900,000 shi, which was 100,000 shi more than the expected amount.
Lin'an Mansion used a total of 225,000 gold baht, which was equivalent to only five silver baht per stone, which was not much more expensive than the harvest season. Another 450,000 gold baht was paid in 900,000 banknotes.
Liao Qunyu's hanging heart finally let go of Lin'an alone, and the issuance of paper money accounts for 15% of the total of 3 million gold baht. This achievement is enough to satisfy Taishi Jia and the Song court.
After this incident, Liao Qunyu also noticed that Cai Yuanchang's talent was able to issue all the quota, which was more than 100,000 yuan. He was not afraid of offending Ning Wang and Liang Shicheng. This doctor from the Ministry of Revenue is a capable material.
Liao Qunyu and Cai Yuanchang each obtained the money, and Cheng Zongyang was even more proud of it. The coins issued this time were 450,000 gold baht, of which 250,000 were taken away by grain merchants. Cheng Zongyang estimated that out of instinct for banknotes, about 200,000 gold baht of banknotes would be immediately exchanged into gold baht, and only about 50,000 gold baht, and each merchant would try to use it.
Calculation in this way, half of the principal of 400,000 will be taken away at once. Fortunately, the 400,000 shi of grain will be repaid for oneself, which means that there is still 300,000 gold baht of money to be used.
The remaining banknotes are issued in foreign counties. At least before these banknotes return to Lin'an, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy when the bank bank runs.
Tao Hongmin followed the scene and was still unsatisfied after the show ended. He invited Cheng Zongyang to go to Wazi Lei
Cheng Zongyang was busy with food and was in trouble. In addition, he had to be on guard against the threat of the Black Demon Sea, so he couldn't get away, so he had to refuse his invitation again.
Before leaving, Tao Hongmin said meaningfully: Today's business has opened my eyes. Brother Cheng, I am more and more optimistic about you.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Master Tao Wu is so proud of me. After these days, I will definitely be a host and ask Master Tao Wu to talk about it.
One word is determined!
Tao Hongmin smiled and said: I'm waiting for your news.
