936. Chapter 936: Wu Xuan's Opportunity

"Uncle Ji doesn't need to be polite. [No pop-ups, the page is clean, just read the book.dashubao.cc] "Zong Liang is very reserved and authentic, which is particularly rusty.

Wang Xiu nodded secretly when he saw it, the boy of the Wu family has been overseas for three years, and he has finally washed all the lead, and he looks much more stable, and he is by no means the face of the drill camp many years ago. He looked at Wu Xuan with a new gaze, and said with a faint smile: "When did you come back?"

"As soon as I landed on the shore, I heard that Uncle Shi was in Kaifeng, so I hurried over." Wu Xuan's eyes rolled, and he said steadily.

Zong Liang pursed his lips, glanced at Wu Xuan with disdain, and secretly scolded this guy for being a sycophant, but he didn't speak.

"Hehe, it seems that the envoys of the imperial court have returned." Wang Xiu didn't care about the little tricks, the lower ones complimented the superiors, this is human nature, since Wu Xuan came in a hurry, there must be good things.

"I want to congratulate Uncle Shi next, I see that I can recover the five states of Dingnan and recover the four counties of Hexi." Wu Xuan is respectful and flattering, and his use of ancient names is also exquisite.

"That is, it is just good luck, the century-old trouble in the western part of the Great Song Dynasty should be cut off." Wang Xiu smiled, he smiled very casually, what he wanted was not only the four counties of Hexi.

"Uncle Shi, the imperial court's use of troops in the northwest costs a lot, and in time, Uncle Shi's northern expedition will probably require more money." Wu Xuan said half a sentence and left half a sentence, which is meaningful

"I'd like to have a mountain of silver." Wang Xiu's words came to an abrupt end, his eyes sparkled at Wu Xuan, and he smiled playfully: "Uncle Ji didn't go home when he got off the boat."

"No, the little nephew got off the boat from Dengzhou and came to Kaifeng directly." Wu Xuan replied honestly, Wang Xiu's gaze made him a little weak, it seemed that he was careful and still didn't hide it from Wang Xiu.

"Okay, are you doing it for the sake of public and private interests, it seems that you really moved a silver mountain for me." Wang Xiu looked at Wu Xuan with a gentle gaze, he didn't believe that Wu Xuan came for no reason, people can't afford to be early, why don't people go home to visit you.

For the interests of Liangzhelu or for the Wu family's industry, it is obviously not enough for Wu Xuan to run errands.

The corners of Zong Liang's mouth twitched, as if he had noticed something, his eyes stared straight at Wu Xuan, and he was almost deceived by this guy.

Because of his official and private affairs, Wu Xuan knew that Wang Xiu saw his thoughts, so he was honest, and said: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew has been in Fusang for more than half a year, and I feel that his products are poor, especially the lack of grain and rice, and the people eat omnivorous. However, they have an abundance of silver there, and they can't spend it if they have money."

"The people are poor, the vassal country is poor, and I always look forward to the appeasement of the imperial court."

Wang Xiu understood Wu Xuan's intention, this is the capital to dedicate himself, it seems that the brother of the Wu family has finally matured, and his years of travel have not been in vain. Plainly stretched out his hand to him to ask for an official.

However, he admires this guy's brazenness very much, no matter what, people really have the ability, and they also see the opportunity, and they lose no time in seizing the opportunity, this is the ability, and the successful person should not be criticized.

For many years, he has always had a dream, that is, to play the eastern island country, but he has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and has never had a suitable opportunity.

If Wu Xuan has that ability, he will definitely not be stingy with Juelu, and said: "The imperial court needs a large amount of gold and silver, and now there are frequent transactions on the market, copper coins are already overwhelmed, and Jiaozi is not enough to pass through the country, so it is imperative to issue money to the dynasty." Unfortunately, there is a lack of gold and silver to support it, and the conquest of the South China Sea is not so much about opening up sea routes as about the battle of gold. ”

"Then again, Fusang has been attached to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but I didn't expect that the people are still suffering, and the court should also be comforted a little."

Zong Liang's pupils constricted, the conversation between Mr. and Wu Xuan has risen to the level of national politics, it seems that this guy has good skills, the whole person seems to have changed 180 degrees, and with the capital that Mr. attaches importance to, he can't help but feel a little slanderous and a little envious.

However, as Wang Xiu's right-hand man, he is very proficient in government affairs, and he also understands Wang Xiu's words very well, knowing that in just ten years of development, the southeast roads have been full of business opportunities, the imperial court has vigorously supported the maritime industry, and the factory manufacturing industry has made great progress.

With the successive construction of a large number of factories, the income of large sums of money has stimulated many people to invest a large amount of money in industrial manufacturing at any risk in order to win rich returns, and indeed they have received rich returns.

Even some military products have been contracted by the factory owners, of course, they are all auxiliary in nature, but the profits are quite lucrative, and the Wang family and the Shen family are all vested interests, forming a huge interest group on Liangzhejiang Road, Fujian Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Huainan East Road to carve up this huge cake.

However, behind the boom was overwhelmed, with the rapid development of industry and commerce, resulting in a shortage of coin and the near-bankruptcy of the copper-standard monetary system.

Also, look at those large exchanges, moving tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, copper coins completely reveal their fragile side.

People of insight have also seen that the inevitable product of rapid economic development, copper coins are no longer suitable for the development of modern society.

Gold withdrew from the currency stage of the Han Dynasty, the embarrassment of copper money and gold is the opposite, gold is the broken economy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no longer need to be supported by high-value currency, it belongs to the regression of society, and the embarrassing situation of copper money is because of the progress of society, unable to support the rapid development of the economy.

Even the most conservative people thought that the currency had to be improved, and Jiaozi was proposed. However, this kind of credit banknotes, which are limited to various roads in Sichuan, congenitally lack the foundation for large-scale circulation, and can only be reluctantly abandoned.

Finance, this is a new term put forward by Shen Mo and Wang Qingjiao, not to simply equate money, but to form a currency-centered, a series of related industrial flow chain integration, Jiaozi congenital insufficiency, unable to undertake the mission.

Eventually, there was a consensus between the government and the opposition that a new type of banknote should be issued to replace the copper coins, which were in short supply. The question arises, how to change this is a major matter that affects the common interests of everyone.

Some people believe that it is necessary to cool down the increasingly hot industry and commerce, increase the proportion of agriculture in the state tax, and issue appropriate paper money steadily on the premise of continuing to use copper coins, so as not to let the imperial court have no silver support and lead to a vicious devaluation of the money banknotes.

However, there are those who oppose the restriction of trade and commerce, and advocate that internal deficiencies are obtained from overseas, implying naked land plunder, which is ongoing and has high hopes.

Whether it is the conquest of the South China Sea or the demand for the improvement of the Chinese currency, it is all supported by powerful businessmen, factory owners and other vested interests, excluding political reasons, they have an absolute advantage, after all, the imperial court needs money, and the Northern Expedition needs money even more.

They debated with each other, but they shared the same view, that is, they did not reject copper coins, and unanimously agreed that paper money should be issued nationally, that is, copper coins and paper money go hand in hand. This shows that the mainstream society is not presumptuous, let alone directly denial.
