Chapter 229: Jiaozi Bank

Zhao Xu stroked one stroke at a time, and his expression was extremely serious.

For a while, he put away his pen violently, straightened his waist, and studied the eight big characters.

He picked up the pen, examined it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "How is it?" ”

Chen Pi dragged the paper, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Mellow and free, good words!" ”

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "You will be such a word." ”

Chen Pi smiled and said nothing, he really hadn't read much.

Zhao Xu put down the pen, looked at it carefully for a while, picked it up and handed it to a yellow door behind him, and said, "Take it to the political affairs hall, take the opportunity to hand it over to Zhang Xianggong, and read it in person." ”

Xiao Huangmen stepped forward cautiously, took it cautiously, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu looked at his back, thought about what might happen in the political hall, smiled, sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup, as if he suddenly saw Zhu Qianzhen standing aside tremblingly, and said with a smile: "I am here to discuss business with you, no need to be restrained, sit down." ”

Zhu Qianzhen was nervous, how dare she sit, and said anxiously: "The villain is standing, the villain is standing." ”

Zhao Xu also let him, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Zhao Ji, this little bastard, has been spoiled by me, and he is wanton and has no rules. It is I who will punish him, it has nothing to do with you, and there is no burden in your heart. ”

Zhu Qianzhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't dare to be careless, her face was stiff, and she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.

Zhao Xu only said this, and then said: "You have also seen the money in these boxes, it is too inconvenient to trade, I have already planned to move the Jiaozi affairs to Kaifeng, but it is not managed by the imperial court, I plan to build a private Jiaozi shop." ”

Jiaozi shop, in other words, is Jiaozi Bank.

Zhao Xu stopped when he said this, but Zhu Qianzhen understood, and said in disbelief: "Does the official family want to hand it over to the villain?" ”

Zhu Qianzhen was stunned, the official family came to him, naturally with a purpose, and he thought of it instantly when he heard it.

But the affairs of the imperial court are not trivial, how can ordinary people interfere?

He regretted it when he asked this, what right did he have to do it?

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup again, still thinking in his heart, the cumbersome copper coin transaction has seriously affected the development of the commodity economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emergence of Jiaozi is an inevitable result of economic development. However, due to the wanton and indiscriminate issuance of the imperial court, the credibility of Jiaozi was constantly degraded, so that it became a means of squeezing people's wealth, and finally it was seriously devalued and had to be abandoned.

Later dynasties have also had all kinds of paper money, without exception, and in the end they all ended in failure and farce.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu bypassed the imperial court and looked for Zhu Qianzhen.

The affairs of the children cannot be handed over to those officials and masters of the imperial court, and there must be a long-term, controllable, and sustainable plan.

Even if this is still a matter of drawbacks, at least in the short term, it will develop under his control.

Zhao Xu thought for a long time, glanced at Zhu Qianzhen and said: "I plan to establish a reputable Jiaozi shop, this Jiaozi shop only recognizes the evidence and does not recognize people, not only in Kaifeng, all the prefectures and counties in the country should set up a branch in the future, so that all the people in the world do not have to carry hundreds of catties of copper coins on the street." As long as you take Jiaozi with you, you don't need dozens of carriages to pull more than a dozen boxes of copper coins, what do you think? ”

The Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty was originally invented by a businessman, and it developed very well at first, but with the intervention of the imperial court, it was dominant, and finally it tended to fall unsurprisingly, and now, it is not far from complete defeat.

Zhu Qianzhen listened to Zhao Xu's words, and her heart was excited, but she immediately calmed down, and her expression changed back and forth.

Zhao Xu painted a huge blueprint for him, which was so big that he didn't dare or had the confidence to follow it.

Zhao Xu saw the hesitation on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you think slowly." By the way, the concubine doesn't have any relatives, you are half, and you have time to enter the palace and talk to the concubine. ”

Entering the palace to talk to Concubine Zhu, this is not something that ordinary people can do, Zhu Qianzhen's heart was so excited that she was ecstatic, and quickly restrained her expression, and bowed down and said with a relatively calm look: "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu nodded secretly, this Zhu Qianzhen's personality is a little calm, and he can help him set up the shelf.

He didn't think that he would do it in one step, and he would slowly discover and cultivate talents in the future.

Zhao Xu stood up, looked at Zhu Qianzhen and said with a smile: "Think about how to do it, write a note for me to see." Yizhou Jiaozi will soon move to the capital, and among them, I will pick people to help you. ”

Zhao Xu didn't wait for Zhu Qianzhen to speak again, so he got up and left here.

Too many people on this street had seen Zhao Xu that day, and if they stayed too long, they would have trouble coming to the door.

Zhu Qianzhen sent Zhao Xu out of the calligraphy and painting shop, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and was still thinking about the blueprint that Zhao Xu had just sketched.

That blueprint is really too big, it really has to be done, and the copper coins in his hand are at least tens of millions, which is really unimaginable for a small person like him!

He stood at the door, watching Zhao Xu leave, still uncalm, hesitant and excited, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while.

Zhao Xu walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop and did not return to the palace, but in the direction of the household.

Jiaozi affairs are under the jurisdiction of the household department, and Zhao Xu wants to strip it out, but he has to cooperate with the household department.

At the same time, the political affairs hall was indeed as Han Zongdao expected last night, and it set off a lot of excitement.

Because of Cai Qu's death and his dying script, the hidden contradictions in the court were completely stimulated.

In the government hall, there were more than 30 people seated.

Su Song sat in the first place, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao each sat on both sides, and the others were the six Shangshu, the Yushi Zhongcheng, and the Dali Temple, and behind them were the six Shilang, and the other two temples and so on.

Su Song observed everyone's expressions, felt the invisible pressure in the hall, secretly held his breath, and said: "What I want to talk about today is two things, first, Cai Qu's deathbed recital, and second, Kaifeng Mansion is ...... water."

Before his words fell, he immediately stood up alone, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Su Xianggong, Cai Xianggong after Xining, carried the banner of law change, and did not flinch in the face of many difficulties, and then was framed by Sima Guang and others, exiled from Beijing, and now he is sick and dead in a foreign country, listening to sadness, hearing tears, and asking the court to give an explanation. ”

This is Pang Yuanzhou, the secretary of Taichang Temple, who is righteous in his words, with a sad face, and asks the court to give an explanation, in other words, the official 'coffin closure'.

This seemed to be a signal, and without waiting for Su Song and the others to react, they stood up again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cai Xianggong was the right-hand man of the prince back then, and no one knows more about the 'new law' than him. The lower officials do not require all the political affairs hall to follow the script, but at least they must learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and they cannot turn a blind eye because of people's success. ”

This is Zheng Kaizhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, his face is calm, and his words are correct and round.

Then someone stood up and said loudly: "What the lower officials want to ask is, what is the attitude of the political hall towards Cai Xianggong?" What is the purpose of this enlarged meeting, I would like to ask Prime Minister Zhang to make it clear. ”

This is Wang Jueshan, the squire of the Criminal Department.

Compared with the subtlety of the previous two, this one is even more rude, directly naming Zhang Dun and forcing him to express his position.

Zhang Dian was expressionless, just glanced at him.

Su Song kept a calm face and was silent.

Cai Bian's face changed, he found that there was a miscalculation, he just went to see these Shangshu last night, but he ignored these waiters, Siqing.

Then, someone stood up again, more directly, that is, towards Zhangduan, seven people in a row!

They didn't criticize and write, and at this level, they were extremely artistic in speaking on official occasions, but their attitudes and tones couldn't be hidden, so they almost directly asked Zhang Duan to resign to thank the world.

Zhang Dan was as immobile as a mountain, not as angry as before, his sword eyebrows never moved, and his stern expression also had a kind of 'cowardly' appearance, and he never said a word.

This seems to be revealing a signal that many people are about to move.

Seeing that he was about to get out of control, Su Song coughed and said, "We are going to discuss Cai Qu's script today, and we haven't discussed it yet, don't rush to make a conclusion......

"Su Xianggong!"

At this time, a person stood up, with a big face, directly interrupted Su Song's words, raised his hand, and said: "The lower official has a few questions, and I would like to ask Zhang Xianggong to tell the lower official bluntly and tell all the colleagues here, otherwise we will be uneasy and unfair." We are not anyone's people, nor are we for glory and wealth, but are determined to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and to support the community. Su Xianggong also asked for forgiveness for the rudeness. ”

Su Song frowned, this is Zhang Ke, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who had a lot of discord with Cai during the Yuanfeng period, and he said that he was generous, Su Song really couldn't stop it.

Here it comes!

Cai Bian's face was condensed, and he had a bad premonition.

The other six Shangshu and others were secretly silent, vigilant.

Zhang Kewei put down his hand towards Su Song, turned straight to Zhang Dan, and said with a deep face: "Zhang Xianggong, please answer, first, Cai Xianggong, Zeng Xianggong and others, why can't they return to the dynasty for a long time?" Whether the official family does not agree, or you maliciously obstruct it, or someone else, please tell the lower officials and others clearly. Second, in Cai Xianggong's book, accusing you of forming a party for personal gain, cultivating a private person, cronyism, and unscrupulous means to crack down on dissidents, please be sure to make it clear. Third, they are all saying that the current court is cut off, the courtiers are silent, the official family trusts Zhang Xianggong very much, and other people's words can't be listened to at all. In particular, will Cai Xianggong's recital disappear without a trace, as if it does not exist, like everyone else? ”

The crowd listened, and their expressions changed and changed.

Zhang Ke's words were extremely sharp, and every word was hit on Zhang Dan's face, which was a tear in his face!

After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he stretched out his hands, raised his hand, took off the black gauze hat on his head, put it on the table, and said: "The lower officials have no selfish intentions, and today Zhang Xianggong can explain clearly, that is, the lower officials are confused, the pattern is limited, and they are not worthy of standing here." Afterwards, the lower official wrote a letter to ask for guilt, resigned and returned to his hometown, and then did not take half a step. ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Ke with solemn expressions.

Just now it was a tearing face, now it's a decisive battle!

Zhang Ke said it to such an extent, Zhang Dian couldn't hide even if he wanted to!

Today, one of these two people will leave the political hall!

Including Su Song, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao, everyone was solemn, and Zhang Ke's going had little impact, but if Zhang Dian didn't explain clearly, or if he really left, this would cause an uproar, and it would have huge and unpredictable consequences for the DPRK situation!
