Chapter 301 The Legitimacy of Meizhou's New Currency
Meizhou's new currency, because of its production capacity, is only issued in Meizhou City, so even if it has caused a great storm now, the news has not yet spread to the outside world.
"Lord Thorn Shi, there are students and scholars from the Northern Song Dynasty in the city, trying their best to resist the Meizhou New Currency, saying that Lord Thorn Shi's move is a great rebellion and an intention to rebel?" Shao Meng reported to Zhao Yuan, who was happy that the new currency was successfully issued in Meizhou.
"Oh, is there opposition so quickly?" Zhao Yuan said disappreciatively.
"My lord, what should I do, now the influence of the new currency is still limited to Meizhou, if it spreads to the outside world, I don't know how much the sound of attack will increase, and it will attract the suppression of the imperial court." Shao Meng said anxiously.
"Do you know the issuance of the new currency in Meizhou, how long have we been preparing in advance from the top to the bottom of the Assassin's Mansion, and the opposition and reprimands from the imperial court, do you think I haven't thought about it in advance?" Zhao Yuan looked at Shao Meng's eager appearance and said with a smile.
"Could it be that the imperial court will generously allow us to mint and print new coins, this is impossible, since Houshu has returned to the Song Dynasty, as the most important coinage right, the imperial court will not let it go." Shao Meng shook his head and said.
After several years of training, Shao Meng is not only more mature and stable, but also has a much better vision of things.
Zhao Yuan took over the history of Meizhou's assassination and kept Meizhou from the brutal Shu Song army, which was tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife.
As one of Zhao Yuan's most powerful subordinates and in charge of the most important intelligence department, Shao Meng undoubtedly knew clearly that every step Zhao Yuan had taken before was not easy to come by.
At this time, in fact, the smartest thing to do is undoubtedly to cultivate obscurity and develop secretly without publicity.
But Lord Thorn Shi is too capable of tossing, not only after Shu returned to the Song Dynasty, Meizhou, where Zhao Yuan was located, received a large number of fleeing people, but also carried out the Juntian Order in various parts of Meizhou, and left Meizhou without permission to inspect the local ......
In this way, it was miraculous that he did not attract the punishment of the imperial court, but now, he almost moved the root of the dynasty, the right to mint coins, and said with a nonchalant face that he had a plan, which seemed to be an incredible thing in Shao Meng's eyes.
"That's right, fifth brother, these days, we are just pleased with the gratifying effect achieved by the Meizhou new currency, but the Song Dynasty should never allow the Meizhou new currency to exist as the currency of the world." Zhang Xucong said.
At this time, the assassin Shi Yamen, Wang Pinxuan, who loved to joke, did not bother with Zhang Xucong's title anymore.
"What should I do, fifth brother?" Ran Yanbo said anxiously.
"If the Meizhou new currency cannot be circulated outside, the utility is basically equal to nothing, and once the imperial court bans the Meizhou new currency and holds you accountable, what should you do?"
"Now the whole world knows that the Lord has been on the Song Court, saying that he will return to the court, if he is held accountable, how will I deal with myself, otherwise, my lord, you will write to the court, and say that the matter of Meizhou New Currency is just my private idea, and the adults do not know." Shao Meng said.
"Your shoulders are too tender to carry this." Zhang Xucong shook his head and said.
"I regret that at the beginning, Meizhou New Currency has basically been accepted by most of the people in Meizhou City, such a big thing, even if we start to recycle Meizhou New Currency now, it is impossible to reverse the impact of this matter."
……
Everyone was talking nonsense, completely forgetting Zhao Yuan, who looked calm on the side.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about themselves, Zhao Yuan was deeply gratified, with such a group of friends and subordinates gathered around him, why worry that his ideals could not be realized.
"Yes, that's it, immediately stop the continued issuance of Meizhou new coins, and make every effort to recover the new coins that have been issued, and send the Workshop Bureau to block Meizhou City, and increase the price to recover every Meizhou new currency that has been issued, fifth brother, hurry up and order." Everyone discussed it for a while, and finally said to Zhao Yuan.
"Okay, everyone, don't panic here, do you think that the issuance of the new currency in Meizhou is just my whim, if it is a whim, how can I make all the preparations for the issuance of the new currency so quickly, and do it so quickly." Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
"My Lord Thorn, when is this coming, you still have the heart to laugh." Wang Pinxuan stomped his feet.
"What is the opinion of Lord Assassin Shi that he can be exempt from the harsh criticism of the imperial court?"
"You guys, don't want to think about the current Shu land, the use of coins in circulation, our Shu land, copper ore is scarce, and the imperial court will definitely not set up copper prisons in our Shu land, then, we here, the currency in circulation outside must be mostly iron money. Zhao Yuan said. ”
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with the new coins issued by our Meizhou, even if the imperial court doesn't come to our Shu to set up a copper prison, then it will also supervise the minting and issuance of iron coins, right?" Zhang Xucong asked.
"Yes, but not now, the imperial court will not manage the currency of Shu now, one is that there is no energy now, and the other is that even if it is supervised, it will be in a few years, by that time, the new currency of my Meizhou, the worst result, has been widely accepted by the people of Shu." Zhao Yuan continued.
"My lord, there is a question, now there are so many talented guests who come to my Meizhou, many of them, but there is an official relationship behind them, the influence of the new currency is so great, it will inevitably spread the news to the imperial court, what if the emperor orders and prohibits the new currency of Meizhou from continuing to circulate?" Shao Meng was still not optimistic and asked loudly.
"Therefore, the next step is to use the people you manage, before the imperial court's will to ban the Meizhou new currency is issued, the Meizhou new currency must be recognized by the imperial court." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"This is impossible, fifth brother, the imperial court will never agree to this." Zhang Xucong said.
"If the imperial court orders a ban and orders the destruction of Meizhou new coins, then, before the imperial court sets up iron prisons in Shudi, our Meizhou new coins will definitely disappear cleanly."
"Yes, even if the people of Shu now, in their hearts, have not formed the concept that they are already a Song people, but since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and the court has banned it, and I believe that no one dares to use new coins anymore."
"My lord, you just say what do you want us to do, in the opinion of the lower officials, the impact and consequences of the Meizhou new currency issuance are definitely much higher than the last time the Song army attacked Meizhou, if the adults have no good strategy, I suggest that the Meizhou new currency be recovered and destroyed." Shao Meng said.
"I have a way, and the possibility of success can definitely reach sixty percent, even if it is not successful, I can guarantee that the imperial court will not openly oppose our Meizhou new currency, but the unexpected popularity of Meizhou new currency in Shu will set up obstacles." Zhao Yuan said solemnly.
"We don't understand this, as long as Master Thorn Shi has a spectrum in his heart, how to do it, we will fully cooperate, I don't want us to spend all our hearts on the new coin, just die like this, and use back the ugly coin before." In the end, Zhang Xucong and several people said.
The question of the legitimacy of Meizhou's new currency suddenly fell on Zhao Yuan's next operation.
