While they were talking, in the public hall of Wang Xiu in the capital hall, Ouyang Che was sitting dangerously, listening to Wang Xiu and Shen Mo talking.

"This year, the imperial court tried to issue 10 million treasure banknotes in Sichuan Wulu, and the existing gold and silver in the Taifu of the household department could not support it, and if it was printed in large quantities, I am afraid that it would depreciate, causing panic among the people, and the merchants refused to use the transaction, and the reputation of the imperial court would be damaged."

When he came back from Kaifeng, he began to arrange the preparation of the imperial Song Dynasty treasure banknotes, but he used Sichuan as a test site and replaced Jiaozi with treasure money, but the effect was very bad.

The reason is very simple, the treasure banknotes, as the guaranteed gold and silver, are borne by the imperial court, but the Northwest War and the Northern Servant Military War consumed a large number of reserves in the household treasury, and the trial of the treasure banknotes was congenitally insufficient. Jiaozi is a Shuchuan businessman who prepares his own gold and silver as a guarantee, which has an innate advantage, which is a hundred years of reputation of private capital, and it is not a currency issue, but a certificate for commercial transactions, which cannot be compared with treasure banknotes.

Explain a word, that is, gold and silver are not spent indiscriminately, the main currency on the market is copper money, gold and silver are used as bulk goods settlement, but also used as a reserve for the imperial court, if you take the silver out of the flower, it must also be scattered silver pieces, and you have to go through the authenticity, fineness, weight of the identification, do not really have to eat a lawsuit.

Wang Xiu saw a silent and heavy expression, and that sad look, he also felt a little uncomfortable, and realized that the pilot seemed to be a bit hasty.

He originally thought that the war in the northwest would stimulate economic development, but he did not expect that it would backfire, the trial location chosen was wrong, and the time was also in a weak period.

What's more, after more than ten years of development, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty has reached a certain bottleneck, which is the so-called economic crisis. This is not that production capacity is greater than consumption, but that some high- and medium-end goods are becoming saturated, low-end goods are still normal, and the market has undergone abnormal changes.

"It's also my carelessness, the application of new technologies is not widely applied to the people, of course, there are reasons for high costs and low prices, and the root cause is that I am too anxious." Wang Xiu summed up the gains and losses, thinking that he still made a big mistake, he was outspoken and unabashed.

"The people at the bottom have not received much benefit, this situation must change, the development of new technology products, to change to cheap, in order to ensure the health of the market. Also, I didn't seriously weigh and make a decision, Shuchuan is by no means suitable for the implementation of treasure banknotes, and the treasury is empty after the war, let alone rushed issuance. ”

Ouyang Che has a deep understanding of Wang Xiu's judgment, a table clock costs at least more than 200 times, almost the same as a residence, where can ordinary people afford it, and those exquisite gear machines, although they can be used in agriculture and water conservancy, but the price is high, and it can only be used in the government or big commercial houses, and the people can only watch it.

Shen Mo was also ashamed, he presided over the trial of the treasure banknote, and he advocated the choice of the location, but he did not think it through, so he had to shake his head and said: "Wenshi, now is not the time to blame yourself, you should come up with a way, and the treasure money cannot afford any mistakes." ”

"That's nature." Wang Xiu looked at Shen Mo seriously, and said: "This is a big problem, the key is how the imperial court can collect the principal, and then it can be corrected." ”

"My lord, overseas trade ......," Ouyang Che hesitated.

Shen Mo shook his head and said dejectedly: "Deming, you just came back from Shuzhong, and you don't know that there have been signs of stagnation in overseas trade in the past two years. ”

"Oh." Ouyang Che was stunned, could it be that the expeditionary army had achieved brilliant results, but it was not good for trade? It's a bit of a stretch.

Wang Xiu's eyelids jumped, and he also realized the problem, he encountered a bottleneck in development, which was not a big deal, but because of the change in the treasure banknote, it can be said that it triggered a crisis, how to break the situation?

"Overseas trade is a lot of valuables, and it is not very helpful to the people, and we control a large area of resources, but it takes time to develop. I hate those profiteers, who produce indefinitely, so that the supply on the market exceeds demand, and the daily necessities necessary for the people are in short supply, resulting in this embarrassing situation today, and I really want to kill those people's greed. Shen Mo seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but hate the authentic.

"There are also some profiteers hoarding goods, in fact, limited hoarding is also a good thing, after all, some goods are saturated in the market, but they actually hoard goods related to the daily use of the people, resulting in the increasing issuance of treasure money on the market, but the daily necessities are constantly decreasing, so that holding treasure money is not as good as copper money, damaging the prestige of the imperial court, and it is simply unbearable."

"Makes sense." Wang Xiu agrees with Shen Mo's point of view, Fei Su once wrote a book, saying that it was an industrial and commercial alliance headed by the Shi family, hoarding wealth and goods for profit, which was understandable, and he didn't take it to heart, after all, the merchant was not strong enough to compete with the imperial court for profit.

Hoarding goods has disadvantages, but it can also maintain a balance between supply and demand, but the behavior of those people has violated the bottom line of the imperial court when the treasure money is tried out.

There is also an important one, that is, to achieve a phased victory in overseas conquests, in order to obtain benefits, there is still a process, after the war can certainly get a lot of wealth, but that is all one-time, if you want to develop for a long time, you must slowly digest the results, and gradually build a perfect social production system, time, it takes a long time.

Ouyang Che deeply realized that Shuchuan had developed agriculture and commerce, and it was common for merchants to hoard salt and grain, which caused harm to the people.

"Oh, if the fleet in the East China Sea comes back, it will definitely be able to alleviate a little bit." Wang Xiu said thoughtfully. Shijian Silver Mine is the largest silver mine of the Japanese people, one of Wu Xuan's eastward destinations, if you can really include the huge wealth of the Japanese people, the source of silver can be solved, at least it can form a stable source.

Dongying, he used to call Japan, but he found that he was wrong, what a noble title Dongying Fusang is, pinning on the beautiful dreams of the ancient ancestors, that is where the great sun rises, how can it be the Wa Kingdom? The desolation of the afterlife.

"It's a solution, but it's far from quenching your thirst. There are a lot of gold mines in Srivijaya there, but they can't be shipped for the time being, not to mention silver, Siam is good. "Silence is hopeful, Siam is also rich in gold, and the annual trade can make the court a lot of money.

"No, Siam is the pillar of the imperial court in the South China Sea, and it can't be arbitrary like the Wa Kingdom and the Three Buddhas." Wang Xiu first disagreed, how could the guards fight in a foreign land, how could there be no allies, it is one thing to collect money, and there must be a bottom line.

Besides, you are fighting in Siam, and it is too late in time, so you might as well wait for the wealth from the South China Sea.

"Look, what to do?" Silent and helpless.
