Guo Song looked at the sky in the distance and said slowly: "I don't know if Xiangguo has thought about it, in fact, Datang is not short of money, a large number of copper coins are precipitated in the hands of the rich, hidden in cellars, locked in money cabinets, or buried in pottery urns by ordinary people, if you take out all this money and put it into the market, is there still a shortage of copper coins in the market?" ”

Zhang Qianyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness's idea is very good, this problem Weichen really didn't take into account, but what should be done?" ”

Guo Song smiled and asked, "Does Xiangguo have any money in the cabinet?" ”

Zhang Qianyi nodded, "There are a few thousand!" It is stored in the Boxey Cabinet Workshop. ”

"Can the cabinet move your money?" Guo Song asked again.

Zhang Qianyi said with a smile: "I rented a cabinet in the cabinet shop, and my money is locked in the cabinet, how can they move?" ”

"Here's the problem, if you give the money to the cabinet, the cabinet will give you an interest of one dollar every month, on the condition that your money can be borrowed, and when you withdraw the money, the cabinet will give you the money and interest together, do you want to do it?"

"And this kind of good thing? Generally, I hand over the money to the cabinet several times a year for safekeeping, and if I am willing to give me interest, of course I will do it! ”

Zhang Qianyi suddenly reacted, "Your Highness means that the cabinet gives interest to the guests, and then uses the guests' money to lend, so that the money flows in the market, as long as you ensure that when the guests withdraw money, there is enough money for him?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "That's what it means!" ”

"But are you willing to do it?"

"It doesn't matter if the other cabinets are willing to do it or not, as long as the Baoyuan cabinet is done."

Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop is a government-run cabinet workshop, which belongs to the Ministry of Households, Zhang Qianyi suddenly had a feeling of fascination, such a simple way, he didn't think of it?

At present, the money-making model of the major cabinets is actually lending, but it is their own money, the money saved by the guests, they only charge storage fees, especially large households, there are special rooms, and many guests' money has not been used for decades, which is really a waste of resources.

Therefore, Guo Song wanted to revitalize these resources, which also solved the problem of insufficient copper money in the market, and gradually put gold and silver into the market with economic development in the future.

Guo Song said lightly: "I believe that as long as Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop does this, most people will transfer their money to Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop, and if other cabinet shops don't want to close their doors, they can only follow, so that the copper money in the market will be abundant." ”

"Speaking of abundance, Wechen has another question, what if the market is flooded with copper coins? Will it cause prices to skyrocket? ”

"There is indeed this possibility, so when it is released, it must also be collected, controlled, and paid attention to geographical distribution, such as Chang'an is not short of copper money, Bashu is short of money, Chang'an's money can be transported to Bashu to lend, I believe there is always a way to solve it."

Zhang Qianyi felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "This should be something that the household department should consider, but it makes His Royal Highness think hard, and Weichen is ashamed!" ”

Guo Song smiled, "I'll just think about it in the general direction, the details will be up to you, what I said today, Xiangguo will go back and discuss it with his subordinates, and then write a detailed report." ”

"Wechen will take it out as soon as possible."

Guo Song shook his head, "Don't worry, this matter is very important, we must fully communicate with the cabinet shop, and besides, I may not be in Chang'an in the last month or two." ”

"Your Highness is going out on patrol?"

Guo Song nodded, "I'm going to take Jingnan, and I also have to go to Jiangnan to inspect, it is estimated that it will take two months, and when I come back, you can just take out the report." ”

"Wechen understands!"

..........

At night, Guo Song was sitting in the study panyu reading, when the door opened, and his wife Xue Tao came in from outside with ginseng tea, and she saw her husband holding a piece of mutton fat jade to rub grease on his forehead, so he smiled and said: "Husband, didn't you say that wiping the grease on your face will clog the jade holes and make the jade dull?" How can you wipe it yourself? ”

Guo Song put down the jade and smiled: "It doesn't hurt to wipe a little, as long as you clean it on time." ”

Xue Tao put down the teacup, hesitated and said, "My husband is going to Jiangnan, can I bring my family?" ”

Guo Song smiled, "Of course you can, Weiwei has already pestered me, I promised to take her with me, if the lady wants to go, you can also go together." ”

Xue Tao laughed, "I'm tempted by what you said, it was originally that Caichun wanted to go back to Jiangnan to have a look, ask me to talk about it, if you say this, if everyone goes together, won't it affect your husband?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, "It won't affect you, but you have to stay in Xiangyang for a while, wait for the battle of Jingnan to end, and then take a boat to Jiangnan together." ”

"This is okay, then I'll go and tell you!"

Walking to the door, Xue Tao stopped again, and asked with some excitement in his heart: "By the way, when will we leave?" ”

"Five days later! It is best not to bring more than thirty people. ”

"No, just bring the personal maid and the child's nurse, and no one else will bring it."

After speaking, Xue Tao left like a gust of wind, Guo Song smiled and shook his head, in fact, they also had to bring a personal female guard, but she forgot.

Hearing that she was going to cruise to Jiangnan by boat, her family was excited, and Guo Weiwei was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she simply opened the drawing board, began to meditate, and began to conceive a picture of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately she forgot that it was autumn now, and she could only draw an autumn picture of the south of the Yangtze River at most.

........

The plan to attack Liu Pi dragged on for more than half a year, mainly because the Jin army had to concentrate on attacking Liu Shining, although Liu Shining's forces had been destroyed three months ago, but the Jin army still needed time to consolidate the occupation, on the other hand, Guo Song also had to beware of Ma Sui's counterattack.

Ma Sui and Liu Qia have been allies for a long time, horning each other and supporting each other, the two are a kind of relationship, but in the later period of Liu Qia, that is, after his son Liu Shining took power, the relationship between the two factions began to deteriorate, and even small-scale conflicts occurred, as for the competition for population and resources, it was even more commonplace, so that Liu Qia died, and Ma Sui did not even send people to mourn.

But this does not mean that Ma Sui will watch Liu Shining be destroyed, Liu Shining's safety involves his own safety, if it were not for the 20,000 Jin troops from the Yangtze River waterway, instantly occupied Jiangzhou, shocked Ma Sui, so that he did not dare to act rashly, otherwise when the Jin army attacked Hongzhou and Jizhou, Ma Sui would definitely counterattack.

When attacking Liu Shining, Ma Sui was silent, so when attacking Liu Pi, would Ma Sui continue to be silent?

Guo Song didn't know the answer to this question, but he would consider it in the worst direction, so Guo Song needed to make arrangements, first, he continued to put pressure on Luoyang to prevent Zhu Zhu from taking the opportunity to attack Jingxiang, including hoarding heavy troops in Hanoi, Hebei, Kunguan, Wuguan and other places, and secondly, he wanted to deploy troops on the front line of Runzhou to prevent the Yangzhou army from attacking Jiangnan.

The third is to hoard heavy troops and ships in Jiangxia in Ezhou, once Ma Sui dares to attack Liu Pi when he dares to attack, then Jiangxia's army will directly kill Yuezhou from the waterway and kill Ma Sui's lair.

It can be said that attacking Jingnan is to move the whole body.

In order to understand Ma Sui's movements and grasp Ma Sui's every move, Guo Song ordered the Jin Wei Mansion to invest a lot of money to buy Ma Sui's henchmen.

Baling County, Yuezhou, which is today's Yueyang, is the old nest of Ma Sui, and like Liu Qia, it is trapped by financial shortcomings, although it is close to the Yangtze River, it is unable to build large warships, only some patrol boats converted from civilian boats.

It is also because of the Yangtze River, Baling's commerce is very prosperous, the city has a large population, and a large number of merchants from Tiannan and Haibei live.

The largest restaurant in Baling County is called Dongting Restaurant, located in the middle of the county, the location is very superior, Dongting Restaurant covers an area of about five acres, including a three-story wooden building in front and several small courtyards in the back, business is very prosperous every day.

The proprietor of the restaurant is actually Shi Linzhao, the governor of Yue, but Lin Zhao never shows up, all of them are made by the big shopkeeper, the big shopkeeper of the Dongting Restaurant is called Zhang Chun, more than fifty years old, a native of Baling, he has been running the Dongting Restaurant for nearly ten years, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and is very good at interpersonal relations, whether it is the Yuezhou gentry, as well as the military and political figures, he is very familiar with it, and often matches people, and is very skilled in the whole Baling and even Yuezhou, everyone calls him Uncle Chun.

On this morning, before the Dongting Restaurant opened, a man of about 30 years old walked in outside the gate of the restaurant, tall and tall, wearing a blue robe and a hood, looking like a businessman.

The guy hurriedly stopped him, "This master, the shop hasn't opened yet, please come back in an hour!" ”

The man waved his hand, "I'm not here to eat, I'm here to find your big treasurer." ”

"Are you looking for us Tsubaki?"

The man nodded, "Ask him to do something, is he there?" ”

The guy immediately understood that he was looking for the big shopkeeper to entrust the relationship with the person, and he hurriedly said: "The big shopkeeper is here, please come with me!" ”

The man walked to the backyard with the man, and when he saw that there was no one on the left and right, the man lowered his voice and said: "I don't listen to your accent and you are not a local, let me remind you that if you are looking for our big shopkeeper to do something, at least this number." ”

He held out a slap, "At least fifty dollars!" ”

The man smiled, "Money is not a problem, things are done, and there are benefits for you!" ”

The man was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly led the man to the shopkeeper's room.
