Chapter 246: The General was shocked to hear about the deerskin coin
Xue Qing continued: "Don't say it's salt, Shaofu, minting rights, the policy of losing evenly, and changing the currency system will be implemented vigorously." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Look at it, after the New Year at the latest, the emperor will make a move. At that time, a large group of people, under the coercion of the emperor, will turn their guns and support the emperor. It can't be delayed any longer. ”
Wei Qing sneered: "What you think is too simple. Why can't you rush and why take your time? It's because the matter is too big, the situation is too complicated, and the interests involved are too entangled. After all, the emperor is snatching food from the mouths of all the people in the world and all the princes and nobles, so there will naturally be resistance. How else can the emperor rectify these princes and nobles? You don't have to kill them all. What else can be done? Forced to take the vassal domain? If you overplay this trick, it won't work, cut the domain? The imperial court did not tiptoe and be cautious when it cut the feudal domain, and if it was not careful, it would be a rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. The case of Huainan Hengshan and the two countries took two years to deal with and involved tens of thousands. This approach is even less desirable. It can only be a slow picture. ”
Xue Qing shook her head and said, "You think of the emperor as simple. The emperor was already brewing a high-handed blow to the princes. It is estimated that it will be implemented in the next year, when the time comes. I'm afraid no one will dare to rebel against the emperor. Take what you want, just let the mermaid meat. As he spoke, he put the bamboo slips that he had taken away from Shaofu in front of Wei Qing.
Wei Qing took it and took a look. The second day of the winter hunt. The words are familiar. At that time, I was by the emperor's side. Wei Qing asked suspiciously, "What is this?" I was with the emperor that day, this ......"
Xue Qing pointed to the section of fifty cobblers. Wei Qing looked at it again and said, "Well, I didn't hear about this." Well, what's going on here? Leathersmith only. There were so many beasts that were hunted that day. The skin of the bear that the Emperor himself shot was undamaged. It's just nitted to make skin, what's this? ”
Xue Qing said, "Daddy, have you ever heard of leather coins? ”
Wei Qing frowned and didn't speak. Huo Quzhi interjected: "I vaguely know that in ancient times, inland countries did not have shells, so they used turtle coins and leather coins. It was cut into small pieces of leather to serve as currency, but it was easy to imitate and not easy to keep. It has long been abandoned. Did the emperor want to use leather coins to reform the currency system? How is it possible that there is now copper to mint coins, and gold, silver, tin, and iron, which is not more useful than leather? ”
Wei Qing picked up the bamboo slip and said: "How is it possible, the five-baht coin has only been implemented for a short time, and there are still traitors among the people who use knives to cut off the crumbs to recast them for profit." The wind of private casting prevails, and there is no need to talk about the affairs of Wu Wang Liu Wei and the doctor Deng Tong. How can even copper coins have such big drawbacks, and what can be the role of leather coins in ancient times? Unless you made a skin from the white tiger that paid tribute a few days before you went to the sick to make a leather coin, it is not easy to get the fur of any animal. Besides, can this mere 50 people issue leather coins in the world? How can this be enough? Shanglin Sanguan is in charge of coinage, and there are more than 20,000 people in Shanglin Yuan. Are these fifty enough people to issue new coins?"
Xue Qing felt like a mirror in her heart. Emperor Wu's leather coins were only for nobles. It will not be issued in large quantities, because this coin is not strictly a currency, nor is it a currency symbol. At most, it is a marketable bond. It could even be a registered bond so that there would be no counterfeiting. Because it won't be distributed in the world at all, ordinary people won't see it at all. The U.S. dollar, which is equivalent to the million-dollar face value used by the U.S. Federal Reserve, is used only for internal settlements. You don't need to buy a hot dog on the street. The boss will only call the police to arrest you.
Xue Qing could only lie that she already had information to explain the true use of this leather coin.
Wei Qing said with a chill in his heart: "My good girl, in the future, the jade of the auxiliary sacrifice will be used as the bottom of the leather coin, and the value of the currency will definitely not be small." The gold is also to be placed at the bottom of the coins. Ah Xue, have you ever inquired about how much a leather coin is. ”
Xue Qing couldn't remember clearly, and said, "That's not very clear, maybe the emperor hasn't made a final decision yet." But it must be a white deer raised in Shanglin Garden. If you think about it, there are only a few hundred white deer. If you use one less, you will have one less, how many skins can you produce in total? That's definitely a small amount, so the face value is definitely high. At least a look of hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”
Wei Qing gasped: "A skin is hundreds of thousands." The jade bi that paid tribute to the sky was only tens of thousands of dollars. Then every year, the princes and nobles will have to pay twice as much tribute, almost more than one million dollars. My goodness. ”
Xue Qing folded her fingers and calculated: "Not necessarily, for example, a marquis, there are only 1,000 households in the food estate, and one household earns 300 yuan a year." It only adds up to 300,000 yuan, including the output of the land under his name of hundreds of thousands, and the total annual income is less than one million yuan, and the emperor will not let the family provide more than one million, it is estimated that there will be differential treatment, and this kind of will be less. Like Daddy and Junhou, who eat tens of thousands of households, I'm afraid it's not as simple as more than one million. Three or four million may not be enough. ”
Huo Quzhi was a little unconvinced: "The emperor is so dark? How can it be. The whole world is not the king's land, the people of the four seas, the mountains and rivers are his, and all the nobles are his rewards. Why do such a thing? ”
Xue Qing sneered: "Who taught you to be courtiers not to share worries for the emperor and not to shout for the emperor's new economic policy." ”
Wei Qing looked sideways and said, "Why don't you support it?" Isn't it just to get money so that someone can fight the Huns, and why didn't he support it? ”
Xue Qing smiled: "That father also obstructed the concubine from moving the Shaofu. This support is also divided into ways and means. Look at it, people who really support the emperor, such as Sang Hongyang, who have made great efforts in the New Deal, believe it or not, even if they offer white deer skin coins. The Emperor will also find it back in other ways. Believe it or not, it's more than the original income. ”
Of course, Xue Qing is selfish, since the emperor is going to do it. Just before he can do it, rush straight up. It's okay to please the jackpot. The key is to take the opportunity to leave some hands and feet in Shaofu. Don't be busy for a long time, just make wedding dresses for others. Shaofu this piece. Xue Qing is definitely going to eat a part of the benefits. It's not about greedy budgets, but about the convenience provided by the Shaofu.
Wei Qing finally compromised and made an excuse: "Since you are acting on the emperor's edict, I will naturally support you." Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Shaofu to help you support. And he got up and departed.
The husband and wife also slept separately.
At night, he will be the young government supervisor tiptoeing through the alleys. Look around from time to time. Finally, I found a small courtyard. Knocked on the door and was let in.
In the small courtyard, an old man scolded the general in the house: "Why did you come here, who asked you to come?" Let's go and see if there's anyone who follows. (To be continued.) )
