Chapter 303: Initial Elimination of Concerns
The issuance of Meizhou's new currency made the talented people and businessmen from all over the country who went to Meizhou see the huge risks brought by Meizhou's new currency, so they enjoyed the prosperity of Meizhou with trepidation, and at the same time thought hard about Meizhou's possible way to break the situation.
"Didn't the invitation say that there would be a poetry cultural festival and a treasure appreciation conference? Why is it that for so many days, there are many goods in Meizhou to show off, although these goods are good, but they are not enough to be treasures, right? ”
"I thought that the world's talents, gathered in Meizhou, should be born many poems that have been passed down through the ages, but I didn't expect that I have been here for two months, and I see some businessmen every day, which is disappointing!"
……
The Meizhou Commodity Exhibition, in Zhao Yuan's planning, will be held for seven days, and will be accompanied by cultural performances mainly for the purpose of promoting Meizhou.
In the first three days, the guests attending the exhibition were full of interest, but from the fourth day onwards, some people became impatient.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's 10,000 words about Meizhou's new currency officially arrived in the Song Dynasty in an expedited manner.
At the same time, the first Meizhou newspaper officially appeared on the streets of Meizhou.
"Bold, really bold, this is to rebel, dare to issue currency privately, and ridicule the backwardness of our dynasty's coinage technology."
"Your Majesty, although Zhao Yuan's move is very bold, but at the same time, if his move can really be carried out according to what he said, it will definitely be able to hit the resistance forces within Shu in the shortest possible time."
After Zhao Yuan made the table on behalf of Meizhou, the Song court successively sent a large number of officials and generals to Shu, preparing to completely digest the territory of Shu. However, except for Meizhou, a large number of uprisings broke out in other places one after another, causing a lot of trouble to the process of the Song Dynasty's rule of Shu, and the monarchs and ministers of the court were also very troubled by such a situation.
"Aiqing, do you think what Zhao Yuan said in his recital is true?"
Zhao Kuangyin had a headache, although he broke through Houshu in just sixty-six days, but the surrender of Houshu did not mean that the Song Dynasty would be able to digest Shu without worry.
According to incomplete statistics, there are no less than 400 kinds of currencies in circulation in the world, if Zhao Yuan can also issue new coins in Meizhou, first circulate the world, in the process of my Great Song Dynasty to dominate the world, it will be able to play a pivotal role. At the same time, the new coins issued by Meizhou, the right to mint and issue, at the right time, were returned to the imperial court, at that time, Zhao Yuan described, there are only Song coins in the world, and there is only me in the hearts of the people of the world. Zhao Pu said while thinking.
"I am worried that this new Meizhou currency, once circulated in my Great Song Dynasty, will replace the existing circulation of Tongbao. Aiqing, what you said, the current currency chaos in my Great Song Dynasty is indeed a problem. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said.
……
In fact, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were actually very opposed to the private issuance of currency in their hearts, and they also had a thunderous anger at Zhao Yuan's private issuance of currency.
But the current situation is that although the new currency of Meizhou has been issued, it is only circulated in Meizhou City, and Shu has not been pacified, after Zhao Yuan is on the table, the Meizhou area, although it has nominally been returned to the Song Dynasty, but the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty does not have the ability to clamp Meizhou.
In the case that the influence of Meizhou's new currency did not come out, Zhao Yuan was able to take the initiative to write a book, on the one hand, to ask for guilt, and on the other hand, to say that Meizhou's new currency was only an experiment for the issuance of the new currency of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
At the same time, it has expounded the benefits of issuing the new Meizhou currency to the Great Song Dynasty in the process of becoming a new currency of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
Although the new currency of Meizhou was issued by Meizhou, Zhao Yuan took the initiative to ask the imperial court to send personnel from the copper supervisor and iron supervisor to Meizhou to take charge of the issuance of the new currency, indicating that his heart was to the imperial court and his attitude of complete submission.
In this case, Zhao Kuangyin can only have fire and cannot send it, because, in the case of continuous uprisings in Shudi, the Great Song Dynasty can only appease a subordinate like Zhao Yuan, especially when Meizhou has a brave and warlike army.
……
"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper, the Meizhou newspaper is freshly baked, the imperial court has approved the issuance and use of Meizhou's new currency, and the imperial court has approved the issuance and use of Meizhou's new currency, and Lord Assassin Shi will not be guilty of this!"
After Zhao Yuan received the reprimand of the Song court, the issuance of Meizhou's new currency suddenly changed from private issuance to the approval of the imperial court, which made the officials of the Assassin's Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, after the arrival of the officials sent by the imperial court to supervise the minting and issuance of Meizhou new coins, they should be converted into gold and silver according to the amount of currency minted and issued each year, according to the value of one percent of the currency, and handed over to the Song court.
Of course, the requirements of the Song Dynasty are not limited to this, and there are many restrictions on the new currency of Meizhou, for example, it is necessary to mark the name of the Qiande era on the new currency to indicate the ownership of the new currency.
Zhao Yuan accepted all these specific requirements, and felt that the imperial court was still generous, although the new currency of Meizhou could only be circulated in Shu, but this was the basis for Zhao Yuan to control the entire finance of Shu.
At the same time, Meizhou Banknote Printing Factory, which has been promoted to the second most important Meizhou mint, began a larger-scale expansion, and the Meizhou New Coin, which was issued in less than 20 days, will also be revised, in accordance with the requirements of the Song Dynasty, and the name of Qiande will be added.
"Sir, I didn't expect the issuance of this Meizhou new currency to be recognized by the imperial court, I don't know what Mr. thinks about this matter?"
"The old man can't understand it now, logically speaking, this is an incredible thing, how can the court agree to it?" Old Master Chu sighed.
……
Not to mention that the old master Chu and his ilk couldn't figure out that the imperial court would actually approve a privately issued currency, and even all the officials of the Assassin Mansion who understood the seriousness of this matter couldn't figure it out, but now that the facts are out, combined with the calm attitude of the Assassin Lord before and after the issuance of the new coin, the people of the Assassin Mansion have added countless awe to Zhao Yuan's inscrutableness.
"Uncle, it's rare that you're done, and you can accompany your aunt, me, and my younger brother to go out for a walk, and now we are in Meizhou City, so lively." At the exhibition in Thorn Shifu Square, Luoluo shook his little head, kept looking at the many new goods in Meizhou, and said loudly.
"Uncle paid today, the lady still has Luoluo, you can buy whatever you want." Zhao Yuan held a stack of Meizhou new currency banknotes and said proudly.
"Great, uncle. Brother, I'll hug you, and my sister will buy you something delicious. Luoluo shouted happily.
"Don't, your brother is still too young, he can't eat delicious things yet, you can eat it yourself." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
After the crisis caused by the issuance of Meizhou's new currency was initially resolved, Zhao Yuan also withdrew and joined the Meizhou event as a tourist.
