Chapter 135: Please join the "Yuanyou Party Membership".
Compared with the public and private years, there is a lack of money, department stores are not accessible, and people are in distress, which is called a shortage of money.
In the final analysis, the money shortage is either due to the lack of copper coins, or because people like to collect money, or because of the outflow of copper coins, which flow to Liao, Xia, Goryeo, Japan, Sriwijaya and other foreign countries, resulting in insufficient supply of copper coins in the market.
The coping strategy adopted by the Song court in the past was to maximize the output of copper and increase the intensity of coinage, and the annual coinage of Song Shenzong Xining was 3.7 million guan, and the annual coinage of the Tang Dynasty was only 100,000 guan, and the amount of coinage of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng in three years reached 5.06 million guan, which was the largest in all dynasties. On the other hand, when the supply of copper coins exceeds the demand, paper money such as Jiaozi and Huizi are implemented to increase the money supply.
However, with the vigorous development of Song commerce, the minting volume of copper coins can never catch up with the demand of the market, and Jiaozi, Huizi and other paper money have not been valued by the imperial court and have not been vigorously promoted and used, so after the Song Emperor Zhao Ji ascended the throne, there was still a shortage of money.
After Cai Jing set up his own lecture department, in order to solve the problems of insufficient state use and money shortage, without careful consideration, he ordered all prefectures and state armies to vigorously implement the "new currency policy".
Cai Jing's "New Currency Deal" is to issue ten coins and tin coins.
The so-called ten coins are the new coins minted, and the official value of ten coins is equivalent to ten small flat coins, but the cost of materials is less than three times that of small flat coins.
When the material used in casting ten coins is less than three times that of small flat coins, casting can make four cents of profit.
The tin money is even worse, and the tin money is added to the iron money, resulting in a very low fineness of copper.
In this way, it will bring a good income to the imperial court and solve the problem of money shortage.
"It solves the dilemma of money shortage." In the Quanzhou Prefecture Office, Li Sanjian carefully analyzed Cai Jing's new policy, and said to Cui Yongji: "But Cai Jing can understand how much money I need on the market?" If you don't know about this matter, but you will issue new coins indiscriminately, which will cause a serious problem, that is, it will cause prices to soar, and the counterfeiting will be rampant, and the wealth of the people will be wiped out overnight, which will seriously disturb the people. β
In order to quickly reverse the financial embarrassment of the imperial court, Cai Jing implemented the "copper ban" on the one hand, prohibiting the flow of copper coins to foreign countries, prohibiting copper coins from withdrawing from circulation, and at the same time casting a large number of dangshi coins and tin coins, by this time, the imperial court had minted 2.3 million yuan of dangshi coins and tin coins.
The consequence of this was inflation, and of course the imperial court was able to obtain an unusually large income.
And because when ten coins and tin coins are lucrative, it will inevitably cause a flood of piracy.
"He has robbed himself of the wealth of the people." Li Sanjian then said indignantly to Cui Yongzi.
"Li Zhizhou is a great talent, today Cui has just received the teaching, and Cui is convinced!" How did Cui Yongzi know that there was so much truth in this, and that it would cause such serious consequences? So Cui Yongzi got up and made a gesture to Li Sanjian and asked, "What are Li Zhizhou's plans for in the future?" β
At this time, the imperial court had strictly ordered that all prefectures and state armies must use new coins, that is, when minting ten coins and tin coins.
Li Sanjian didn't answer, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "In other state capitals, Li is powerless, but in my Quanzhou, it is resolutely not allowed to mint dangshi coins and tin coins, nor are they allowed to use dangshi coins and tinning coins. β
"This... Cui Yongzi was so surprised when he heard the words that he was speechless.
This kind of blatant confrontation with the imperial court will inevitably cause serious consequences, that is, Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzi will be removed from office, and even arrested and imprisoned, and sent to Beijing.
"If you don't mint ten coins and tin money, how to solve the money shortage?" Cui Yongzi thought that the consequences were serious, so he persuaded him politely.
"Set up a money bank and replace money with money tickets." Li Sanjian pondered for a moment and then replied: "Replace coins with money tickets, so that copper coins will slowly withdraw, and as many copper coins are withdrawn, as many money tickets will be issued. β
Slowly issue money bills or jiaozi, as long as it does not affect the supply and demand of coins in the market, and at the same time, money tickets or jiaozi are easy to carry and trade, which will be a matter of benefiting the country and the people, but will not bring rich income to the local state or imperial court.
Cui Yongzi thought of this, and finally couldn't help but speak: "But the imperial court... The imperial court will definitely not let me go of Quanzhou easily. β
Li Sanjian nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said to Cui Yongji: "For the sake of the people of Quanzhou, Li gave up this black gauze hat, so what's the matter?" Cui Gong, Li has something to ask for, is it better for Cui Gong? β
The corners of Cui Yongji's eyes suddenly moistened when he heard this, and he looked at Li Sanjian and said in a choked voice: "What's the matter with Li Zhizhou?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. β
Li Sanjian is more than 20 years old, that is, he is the governor of Quanzhou, and his future future is unlimited, but for the sake of the people, Li Sanjian resolutely decided that he would rather give up his official position than endanger the people.
"Today's things are all done by Li, and they have nothing to do with Cui Gong, Cui Gong just needs to pretend not to know." Li Sanjian said slowly to Cui Yongji.
"Li Zhizhou's words are wrong!" Cui Yongqi shook his head a little angrily when he heard this: "The matter of Quanzhou, Li Zhizhou is the main one, and Cui is the auxiliary, so how can Cui stay out of the matter?" If Cui stays out of the matter, what will he see the people of Quanzhou? And under the nest, there are no more eggs? How can Cui be alone? β
"Li has his own plans for this matter!" Li Sanjian said to Cui Yongzi when he heard this: "Cui Gong only needs to promise Li, Cui Gong, Li is disobedient at the moment, if something happens, there is still Cui Gong in Quanzhou, so Li can rest assured." β
Quanzhou is Li Sanjian's hard work, of course, he doesn't want the imperial court to send another person down, so if Quanzhou is replaced by Cui Yongzi, it will also be a comfort for Li Sanjian.
"I... You... Li Zhizhou, at this time, I am in Quanzhou in an eventful autumn, so I should think twice about this matter. Cui Yongzi choked up and said to Li Sanjian.
Quanzhou was ordered to set up a boat division, training troops, building ships, and preparing to exterminate the pirates, so if something happened to Li Sanjian, then the matter in Quanzhou would basically die halfway.
"Cui Gong rest assured, Li will not make such a decision unless he has to do so." Li Sanjian nodded comfortingly Cui Yongzi.
For a while, the two were relatively speechless, and after a long time, Li Sanjian said to Cui Yongji: "Cui Gong, you go back first." β
"Li Zhizhou, you... What to do? Cui Yongzi asked suspiciously.
"Shang Shu!" Li Sanjian replied.
"He Shu?" Cui Yongzi asked in surprise.
"Please join the 'Yuanyu Party Membership'." Li Sanjian replied calmly

"The minister is mediocre, and he is blessed with a state, and he is more than two years old in Quanzhou County. Quanzhou County is an important place in the southeast, with ministers leveling floods, thin servitude, light taxes, clear governance, water conservancy, business tourism, prosperity for the people, prosperity for the country, and the people are happy to use. However, the pirates suddenly rose, and the ministers were ordered to set up a boat master, Xi Xin, to suppress the pirates, to calm the hearts of the people, and to repay His Majesty's graceγγγγγγ
When the minister guarded the county, the division died, and the minister grieved and longed endlessly.
The husband and the minister, and so on, so that the father and son are polite, and the six relatives are disciplined, which is not done by heaven, but also by man. What Mrs. set up is not for not standing, if you don't plant, if you don't plant, you will be stiff, and if you don't repair, you will be bad. "Guanzi" said: "Etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame are four-dimensional; If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perishγγγγγ
Chen Jian worshiped under his mentor when he was a child, and was taught by his mentor. Chen Jian Shishi, respect the same as the father, learn his way, learn his words... Loyal ministers have no friends outside the country, and disciples have the good of Cambodian cultivation.
A teacher for one day, a father for life!
The minister in Quanzhou suddenly heard that Shi Shi was a 'traitor', wouldn't the minister be chilled? Isn't the minister sad for it? Won't the minister weep for it?
Ministers in Quanzhou can't sleep at night, don't know the taste of food, and cry for the teacher every day.
The teacher is a 'traitor', how can the disciple be alone? Chen Jian is willing to enter the 'Yuanyou Party Membership', in the name of thanking Shi'en and His Majesty Fu Fu begging for loyalty and filial piety.
Weichen knew that he had violated Tianwei, and the crime was unforgivable, so he sat in his private room to wait for the punishment of the axe. β
Li Sanjian's first recital was actually a side-by-side attack against the "Chongning Party Ban".
Li Sanjian thinks that there are gentlemen and villains among the people of Yuanyou, and the same is true among the people of Yuanfeng, there are gentlemen and villains, in this case, why should all the people of Yuanyou be classified as traitors?
Li Sanjian also sharply wrote in the first recital that Cai Jing's actions were all flattering moves, as evidenced by Zhang Dan, Zeng Bu and others.
In fact, it was not Cai Jing who classified his mentor Su Shi as a traitor, Li Sanjian was too lazy to participate in these things in the imperial court, Cai Jing classified his mentor Su Shi as a traitor, and burned Su Shi's articles, poems, etc., so he angered Li Sanjian, and angrily wrote to the court, complaining for Su Shi.
Since this is the case, the matter has come to this point, so Li Sanjian vented all the unhappiness in his heart, and he didn't do two things endlessly, and he went on three sparse roads in a row.
The first is to "please join the 'Yuanyou Party Membership'", and the second is to elaborate on the pros and cons of the "New Currency Deal".
And Li Sanjian's third sparseness was shocking, and his eyes rolled to the ground.
Li Sanjian's third sparse is "'Fengyou dispute', why is a woman innocent?" For the Meng family, who was removed from the queen's throne again, she was upset. . .
Emperor Zhezong's first empress, Emperor Zhao Xu, was virtuous and gentle, and she never fought with others in her life, but she was repeatedly persecuted.
Meng was born in a famous family, and his grandfather was Meng Yuan, the Marquis of Yu, the defense envoy of Meizhou. Meng has been gentle and obedient since he was a child, and he was very loved by the Empress Dowager Gao, the grandmother of Zhezong, so Meng was very young and was admitted to the palace by the Empress Dowager Gao, and later, the Empress Dowager Gao ordered Zhao Xu to marry Meng and made Meng the queen.
For various reasons, Queen Meng was not favored. After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, Meng was abolished as the queen because of the "witch Gu" case, and after the abolition, Meng moved to live in Yaohua Palace, called "Huayang Sect Master".
Li Sanjian also has a relationship with the Meng family, who has been living in Yaohua Palace.
After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he was grateful to the Empress Dowager, not only invited her to listen to the government, but also welcomed the Empress Dowager Meng, who had always liked the Empress Dowager, back to the palace and re-established as Empress Yuanyou.
Empress Meng was welcomed back to the palace and enjoyed a few days of blessings, and the Empress Dowager Xiang passed away. At this time, in order to crack down on the "Yuanyou Party", Cai Jing and others actually implicated the Empress Meng, played the Song Emperor Zhao Ji, and abolished Empress Meng, and gave her the title "Xiwei Yuan Notice and Miaojing Immortal Master", and let her move to Yaohua Palace again.
It was as if their "great cause" would not have succeeded without defeating this poor woman.
Empress Meng's grievances aroused Li Sanjian's righteous indignation, so while complaining about his teacher, he also voiced grievances for Meng's family...
