'Money, money, money' is important to say three times, but eight hundred times it can't be turned into money. As for how to solve the financial dilemma, Zhao Yu did not think about it, and he also discussed it with several chief officials. The method is nothing more than to persuade farmers to reclaim land and increase the area of cultivated land in order to increase the autumn tax; Then there is the development of trade, to promote exports, but Qiongzhou can take the sale of local specialties are not much, only betel nut, brown sugar and jibeibu, it can be said that the supply exceeds demand, but the output is very low, to cultivate this industry is not a short period of time to see benefits.

Then there is the strengthening of anti-smuggling in order to increase the income of the city's shipping department. This is an immediate solution, but it is not easy to do. Corruption is rampant in the city, not to mention the accumulation of malpractices intercepted from top to bottom, Hainan is surrounded by the sea and there are many large and small ports, so it is impossible to completely block the smuggling channels. The navy that can be the main force of anti-smuggling is still during the training period, and there is no manpower and energy to do this, and the navy is the key to whether or not Qiongzhou can be defended.

Zhao Yu pondered that these things could be used as long-term development goals, but with the current economic situation of the Shuai Mansion, I am afraid that it will collapse before that moment, and he needs a way to get rich quickly now. Increasing taxes is a method, but it is also a way to quench thirst, and the people's livelihood will become more and more difficult under the forced levy, causing the people to flee and resist, which is no different from death; Asking the court for funding, even if you put on your own little face, you can only allocate some money for emergencies at most, and it is impossible to support you like before.

"In April of the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was forbidden to use copper coins in the south of the Yangtze River, and the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were three times, and the quasi-central banknotes were consistent; Fifty times, the quasi-central banknote has always been ......" Zhao Yu finished reading the official document in a distraught, and then picked up the information sent by the bureau and looked at it, and suddenly found that there was such a passage mixed in.

At the beginning of the establishment of the bureau, Zhao Yu regarded the collection of economic intelligence as one of his tasks, and all the reports related to price changes, grain arrears, taxes, and even wages and consumption changes were all included in the report. The informant apparently did not regard such a public change as important information, but only mixed it with the contents, but it seemed to him to be different.

In the world of the previous life, the immediate purpose of monetary reform was to curb severe inflation and eliminate economic imbalances, and at a deeper level, to control the capital circulating in the market and to monitor the market, so as to bring the entire economy back under the control of the central government, which can be called a major economic activity. At present, the currency reform of the Mongols is only aimed at the former Song Dynasty, and the purpose is to promote the currency of the country to replace the currency of the occupied country, so as to achieve economic integration, facilitate the sale and circulation of goods, and collect taxes.

Although Zhao Hao does not understand the economy, he also knows that the currency reform will cause the exchange rate to fluctuate violently, and the strong fluctuation of prices will affect everyone's life, often affecting the domestic economy and even the world economy. But it is also often a feast for currency players, who will use their funds to snipe the loopholes in the currency reform, and make huge profits from changes in exchange rates and prices. So can you also use some oil when the Mongolians implement the central banknote to subsidize the 'household'?

Now the idea is there, but Zhao Hao's cognition of ancient currency is still in the initial stage, only knowing that Jiaozi appeared in the Song Dynasty and was the earliest paper money used in the world, and finally collapsed because of indiscriminate inflation, loss of credit. Nowadays, there are still a lot of such 'waste paper' in their own mansions, and the subsequent Yuan Dynasty paper money cannot escape the same fate, becoming a tool for the ruling class to accumulate wealth, so that the over-issuance of currency leads to economic collapse, and the plundered people rise up and launch a huge uprising, and finally end the rule of the Mongols.

Zhao Yu knows that he can't operate this bit of goods in his stomach at all, and so far he doesn't even know what Zhongtong Banknote Road looks like, let alone how much it has been credited and purchasing power, and how much it has been issued. However, he is not a conceited person, he knows how to ask experts if he has something, and immediately ordered Zhuang Shilin of the General Bureau to come to see him immediately......

"Your Highness, the Tartars are making a loss-making deal!" After Zhuang Shilin came, Zhao Yu didn't say anything, just showed him the announcement copied by the intelligence officer.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Someone loses money, naturally someone takes advantage, Zhao Yu immediately became interested, leaned forward and asked.

"Your Highness, now that the Huizi of my dynasty is becoming more and more worthless, and now the exchange on the market is already a hundred and rare and consistent value, it is difficult for us to spend it when we are in Guangzhou, and the purchase of goods is settled in copper coins and silver. The Tartars have always exchanged fifty guan for our dynasty in Zhongtong banknotes, and they will definitely suffer a loss. Zhuang Shilin replied.

"Well, if everyone flocks to exchange such a cheap thing, it will inevitably cause a robbery, and the Tartars can only make the Zhongtong banknotes worthless?" The change of regime, the seizing of power out of political, social stability and other comprehensive elements, the new dynasty can not be wrong to redeem some old banknotes, but Kublai Khan opened such preferential conditions, and in a blink of an eye, he also devalued the Zhongtong banknotes Zhao Yu nodded and pondered for a moment and asked.

"Your Highness, as your subordinates know, the Tartars are so to increase the intensity of redemption and appease the local people, so they often set up a leveling warehouse in the implementation area to store and store gold and silver silk as a guarantee, so as to ensure that the value of the Zhongtong banknotes remains unchanged." Zhuang Shilin replied, "However, in the past, the territory occupied by the Tartars was often small, and only a small amount of gold and silver was needed to maintain it. Now that Jiangnan is in its hands, there are thousands of Huizi scattered everywhere, and if they still struggle to maintain the value of the currency, the price will definitely not be small. ”

"Oh, they're slapping their swollen faces and making fat people this time!" Zhao Yu thought about what Zhuang Shilin said is very reasonable, Kublai Khan used gold and silver as a deposit for exchange, and in the later period of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to raise military expenses and various expenditures, in the case of insufficient taxes, he could only make up for the lack of finances by printing paper money, most of this part of the money was scattered among the people, and he did so soon the level treasury would be empty, unless the gold and silver in the treasury were constantly used to replenish, which would endanger the entire national financial system.

"Your Highness is wise, that's exactly what happened!" Zhuang Shilin listened to what His Highness said interestingly, and said with a smile.

"Vulgar slang that makes you laugh." Zhao Yu scratched his scalp embarrassedly and said, "Listen to what you mean, the Tartar has practiced this method a long time ago, tell me about it in detail." "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, since there are loopholes to drill, of course, we must also understand how big the hole is...... (To be continued.) )
