After the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a decree on money.

It is a capital offense to outflow five times a penny.

But it can't be stopped.

Because the profits are too big, the Japanese people themselves have tried to mint money, but the size of the casts is different, the quality is uneven, and the market is not recognized at all. Goryeo is even more miserable, ninety percent of the money cast is scrap, and in the Goryeo market, Song money is the mainstream.

With the development of the market economy in various countries, barter has fallen behind and needs money to protect the market.

Only then did there be a case of a Japanese merchant selling his own goods in Quanzhou at one-tenth of the price of Lin'an Prefecture, and it was not an individual case, but a large number of them.

Wa needs Song money.

Half the world needs Song money.

Han Jiang's favorite thing in the past was the red piece of paper, but now, he likes shiny things, such as gold.

Now that the matter of minting coins has been decided, Han Yanxuan began to seriously study the specific operation of this matter, and the first batch of copper Han Yanxuan is sure, but this matter can be done once, and if it is done too many times, it will be troublesome.

Han Yanxuan said: "Brother Jiang'er, how long can you get copper?" ”

"If it goes well, it will be around March next year, and if it doesn't go well, it will be in May."

Han Yanxuan: "There is a record from the Sancai Division, last year's official coinage was 5.7 million yuan, five years ago, the second copper ban of the Emperor Taishang, only 3 million catties of copper confiscated, but it didn't work." According to the algorithm of the Ministry of Households, at least 30 million yuan more money is needed in the market of Lin'an Mansion to be enough. ”

"Money shortage." Han Jiang read it in the history of economics in later generations.

He even dared to say that he had studied very deeply, but the details were definitely not as much as Han Yanxuan's.

Han Yanxuan nodded: "Jiaozi has become waste paper, and then Guanzi appeared, and now it is Huizi, and the consistent Huizi is now only worth four hundred Wen." ”

Han Jiang really understands that the printing of banknotes is unrestricted, and the official of the Great Song Dynasty has no credit, so such a result is inevitable.

Of course, skyrocketing prices, inflation, and so on are also part of the cause.

At this time, the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty had absolutely nothing to do with this reason, it was purely that the Song Dynasty was officially not credited.

Han Jiang is very confident.

"Well, this problem can be solved. Daddy, others can't, let's do. It's us, not the court. "Han Jiang especially emphasized the court and us.

"Yes?" Han Yanxuan didn't believe it very much.

Han Jiang secretly glanced at Wu Song, and stopped talking.

Wu Songle was happy: "What, treat your uncle as an outsider?" ”

Han Yanxuan saw that this was not to hide from Wu Song, but that Wu Song was afraid that he would be embarrassed to say something in Han Jiang, so he immediately said: "Just say what you want to say, let your father listen to it, whether it is ugly or arrogant." ”

Arrogant?

Han Jiang doesn't think so, when it comes to the wisdom of the court, Han Tongqing is a few streets away from him.

In terms of fighting wits with others, his ancestor, the current adoptive father Han Yanxuan is compared with himself, which is platinum against iron slag, and he is not even black iron.

But when it comes to money, Han Jiang is full of confidence.

Han Jiang said: "Daddy, I can't be in politics, I don't have this level of leading the army, I may be able to manage a village, but I definitely can't do it in a state." But when it comes to money, I'm the ancestor of playing with money. When the time is right, the copper coin is the auxiliary currency, and the main money is another, let me sell it, now the time is not ripe. ”

Copper coin standard, silver standard, silver coin standard, gold bar standard, gold exchange standard. That's how it escalates step by step.

Wu Song laughed: "Crazy, crazy, just you are crazy, how old are you, the ancestor who still plays with money." I haven't read much of this book, it's not called the ancestor, it's called the grandmaster. ”

Ancestor and grandmaster, Han Jiang can still distinguish clearly.

Han Jiang was very serious: "Uncle, I am the ancestor who plays with money. ”

The first time I said it might be a slip of the tongue, and the second time I said it officially, it wasn't a slip of the tongue.

Han Jiang's attitude made Han Yanxuan and Wu Song a little confused.

Han Jiang continued:

"I studied hard for seven years, and I didn't read the Four Books and Five Classics, so I learned a skill, playing with money. I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen with my own eyes the ancient Roman city of Daqin in the Western Regions, the Colosseum, and the Temple of Palenon. I've seen the houses of the wealthy nobles of the Western Regions who shop with gold, and I know that I can dig up silver ore and smelt 100 million stones of silver. ”

Next, Han Jiang repeated a sentence for the third time: "I, Han Jiang, am the ancestor of playing with money." ”

Wu Song was stunned and stunned.

With his identity, no one dared to talk to him with such a crazy attitude.

This time, it's an encounter.

However, Wu Song saw that Han Jiang's eyes had a strong confidence, and Han Jiang's tone was that the two ministers in the court were not so confident, and of course, there was arrogance.

Han Yanxuan coughed lightly: "How can you speak, quickly apologize to your uncle." ”

Wu Song waved his hand: "What you said is true?" ”

"Really."

"Where's the mine?"

"Uncle, it's not the time to say it. It took 100,000 people's blood to stain the mine red, and when I got it, it was when copper took a back seat. ”

"Money, wonderful." Han Yanxuan has been studying since he was a child, and has received a real aristocratic education and cultural education.

Let Han Jiang remind him like this, Han Yanxuan suddenly realized that if there were standard silver coins, then the problem of money shortage could be solved, and whoever handled this matter would be able to wash the treasury of the Seven Kingdoms with blood. You must know that the seven surrounding countries used all Song copper coins.

At present, the imperial court did not have enough money and had no way to let all the ways to use silver to send taxes to the treasury.

Merchants, buying and selling bulk commodities, used silver bricks and gold bricks. The weight is all one pound standard.

Wu Song was about to ask again, but Han Yanxuan interrupted him: "Brother, this matter is a bit far, it is too early to mention it in five years, and it will be almost okay in ten years." ”

"Ah, I just want to dig up silver."

"I want to, too." Han Jiang smiled very happily.

Han Yanxuan smiled: "Speaking of new money, there must be a good pattern on the back, and it just so happens that there is a painting at home, which is good, the old street scene of Bianliang City." ”

"Painting?"

"Come with me."

Han Yanxuan took the two to the warehouse at home, there was a small warehouse in the warehouse, and there was a small iron door in the small warehouse, and after entering, there was a stone wall, and Han Yanxuan took out a box.

"Be careful, this painting is seven and a half feet."

it!

Han Jiang's eyes widened: "This, this is the Qingming Riverside Map." ”

"Yes, a painter from the Painting and Calligraphy Academy dedicated it to Huizong, Bianliang fell, and our Han family happened to have someone in charge of the secretary and supervisor, so these good things were naturally pulled back, and a whole boat was pulled. Later, Gaozong asked, and our family cut the fakes and handed them over. This is the real thing. ”

Han Yanxuan pointed to the beginning of the painting, which has an inscription.

"This, this is Huizong's own handwriting?!!" Han Jiang never expected that he would see the real real thing. And there is also the legendary double dragon seal on it.
