Chapter 169: Three Buddhas
"Junshi, and slow!"
It was Wang Anshi who spoke out to save him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Sima Guang turned his head and saw that his eyes were a little more awe-inspiring and resolute than usual, so he couldn't help but stop.
"Jiefu?" Sima Guanghu looked at him suspiciously.
Neither of them realized that this was the second time that the two had called each other since they first met.
Wang Anshi said: "No. ”
"Huh?"
"No. ”
"Why not?"
"Anything related to that case, I can't touch it. ”
Sima Guang was silent.
He heard that Wang Anshi's father's death was also indirectly related to the case.
It's a kind reminder.
But after pondering for a moment, Sima Guang still resolutely said: "Since it is the imperial court's destiny, the people should come first." ”
Wang Anshi grabbed him, and his hand was so strong that he almost broke his sleeves.
He looked straight at Sima Guang, as if he was afraid that he would not hear clearly, and said word by word: "This case can't be touched." ”
Sima Guang was intimidated by the determination in his eyes, and stopped: "Jiefu ......"
"Junshi, there are so many pavilion elders in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, what you think, they don't have to think about it. ”
"This ......"
"We have things that only we can do. ”
Sima Guang seemed to be puzzled, and asked repeatedly, "What can only we do?"
"There is really no need to debate this topic, but it does not mean that the editorial department has nothing to do. ”
"Is what you said the same as I thought?" said Sima Guang with a smile.
"Probably the same. Wang Anshi also laughed rarely.
Just when everyone was inexplicable, Sima Guang reached out and picked a plum blossom, played with it, handed it to Wang Anshi, and sighed: "Jiefu, speaking of which, you should win this debate." ”
"Huh?"
"The people have to endure both rising prices and 'lack of money', which is really miserable. ”
Wang Anshi took the plum blossom and said with a smile: "I didn't win." My view is based on the fact that 'there is a certain amount of money in the hands of the people,' and this is not true, and neither is my view. ”
"Tie?"
"Well, a tie. ”
"Drinking?"
"Take care of tomorrow first. ”
"Drinking and deliberating?"
"One thing is one thing. ”
"Jiefu is really boring. ”
"Junshi isn't necessarily very interesting. ”
……
At the moment, the sky was getting dark.
The clouds obscured the sun and darkened the surroundings.
The wind is blowing.
Liu Xin looked out the window, and at some point, the thick clouds were rolling, all flowing from east to west.
He rubbed his hands together to warm up.
If he wasn't in the Wende Hall at the moment, he would have to beat his thigh.
Very sour.
I stood there for three hours.
-- "Closing down all the places where the Liao State is trading with the Liao State, and strictly prohibiting the people from trading with the Liao State in private, is the way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and pull out the source." ”
The person who spoke was Lu Mianzhi, the imperial historian from the second grade.
-- "What nonsense! Lord Lu, don't you know how much of the annual tax is paid through the Rongchang? If you don't exchange markets with Liao, where will you go to fill this gap? Yichen said that it is the right way to prohibit the border and coastal merchants from trading with copper coins. ”
The one who refuted him was Gu Bohong, who knew the Privy Council.
"Don't trade for copper money, do you trade for gold and silver?"
"Bartering is also acceptable. ”
Lu Mianzhi glanced at the other party and said disdainfully: "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"
Gu Bohong sneered: "It's better than someone who has no symptoms." ”
……
Liu Xin, who was standing in the back, couldn't help but be distracted when he saw them arguing, and he whispered to the people beside him: "Kuanfu." ”
No response.
Liu Xin gently pushed him, and Wen Yanbo suddenly woke up, looked left and right, and asked in a suspicious whisper: "Did the official ask me?"
"Are you asleep?"
"Just squint. ”
"It's a daring. ”
"It's too boring to hold on. ”
"Hmm. Liu Xin was noncommittal.
Wen Yanbo stretched his waist indistinctly, covered his mouth and yawned again, and then lowered his voice and complained: "The quarrel is endless, and in the end, it is not up to the official family and Pang Xiang to decide." ”
After a pause, he said with emotion: "If you can vote according to the interests like the editorial department, I will fight against the crowd and fight according to reason." ”
"Whimsical. ”
"There is always a fantasy, what if it comes true. ”
Wen Yanbo didn't notice that he actually said the words that Le Lin usually put on his lips.
Liu Xin laughed at him: "If you vote according to the profits, you probably don't have a vote from the second grade." ”
Wen Yanbo glanced at him, and said angrily: "Yes, yes, Lord Liu, the governor of Zhengerpin, has ten votes." ”
"Haha. Liu Xin smiled quietly.
But I heard the official ask: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Pang Ji didn't groan for half a moment, and said categorically: "Minting coins." ”
Lu Mianzhi disagreed, and said: "Prime Minister, there is no extra gold and silver in the treasury. ”
According to the regulations left by the Taizu dynasty, in order to mint new coins, the treasury must have gold and silver of corresponding denominations to avoid over-minting and to ensure the value of copper coins.
This case has not been solved so far.
Gu Bohong grabbed the white and said: "There is still a sum of gold and silver in the treasury, which can be used for additional casting. ”
Peng Cheng, the secretary of the military department, immediately said: "That treasury silver cannot be moved! This is for future wars with the Liao State and Western Xia." ”
The official ignored them, and only asked Pang Jidao: "Prime Minister?"
"You don't have to touch that treasury silver. ”
"What do you mean by ......?"
Pang Ji said indifferently: "Inflated." ”
Inflated, that is, when there is no corresponding gold or silver in the treasury, new coins are minted.
"Official, no!"
The one who raised the objection was actually Pang's beloved apprentice, Yao Hongyi, the head of the household.
He said eagerly: "The official family must not set such a precedent. The minting of more rootless coins may cause the price of goods to rise even more. ”
Pang Ji glanced at him without emotion, and then fell silent.
The official asked, "Then what is the lofty opinion of the Yao Qing family that can solve the urgent need?"
Yao Hongyi bowed his head and arched his hand: "No." ”
"Just do what the prime minister says. ”
The official's words are the final word.
Over there, Wen Yanbo whispered: "Heh! I really live to see old age, Yao Hongyi actually sang against Pang Xiang?"
Liu Xin replied: "He is just seeking truth from facts. 'Inflated' is indeed a lot of trouble. ”
Wen Yanbo pursed his lips and said disappreciatively: "According to me, if the three hundred yuan money three years ago could be recovered, how could there be so many things." ”
- "Liu Qing's family, Wen Qing's family, why are they whispering, but what is a good way?"
When the official was instructing everyone to start preparing for the minting of coins, he was very displeased when he saw Liu and Wen talking to each other.
Wen Yanbo was suddenly asked by him, and blurted out: "The minister is just saying, if the three ahhhh
What he wanted to say was "if the three hundred yuan money three years ago" was not spoken, but before the first word "three" could be spoken, Liu Xin stepped on it fiercely, and he could only open his mouth wide in pain and couldn't speak.
Liu Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Wen just talked to the minister, the matter of the Three Buddhas sending an envoy to Bianjing, if the Ministry of Rites does not take care of it, it will be a big mistake. ”
