Zhao Hao immediately discussed with Jiang Cheng on the strategy of capturing Chongqing and rebuilding the mountain city. From the formation of the troops, the selection of soldiers, the allocation of weapons, the transfer of baggage, and the tactics adopted, they were all carefully analyzed. Later, they discussed the formation and training of the slang army, which could be organized according to the tribe detachment, but it must be dominated by the Han army. At the same time, it is necessary to intensify the arming of the various tribes of the Slang tribe who have fled to the territory and send them back to participate in the struggle, so as to aggravate the turmoil in Guangxi and avoid the emergence of a large tribe.

The competition for Dali not only involves how to use troops, but also involves the restrictions of the ancestral family law and the revision of the fetters policy. It will take time to agree, and Zhao Hao doesn't need to ask that this will be another battle, no less fierce than a war. So although I was anxious, I still had to calm down and talk to them, and I could only walk on two legs and prepare with both hands.

Zhao Yu knew in his heart that some ministers in the court were too concerned about him, lest he make a mistake, as long as it was a suggestion he put forward, he had to weigh and discuss it repeatedly, if he wanted to pass it, he would toss! Therefore, he asked Jiang Cheng to sort out the content of today's talk in his name as soon as possible, and it is best to co-sign it with the generals. In this way, not only can you attract the attention of Zhongshu, but also take the opportunity to speak to promote this matter.

Jiang Cheng was born in a family of eunuchs, and he has witnessed officialdom battles since he was a child, so he naturally knows the Tao and nodded in response. However, he also felt that His Majesty's situation in the court was not so good at this time, and it was likely that someone was secretly elbowing and trying to control and reduce his power, so that the little emperor had to find another way to achieve his goal.

"Your Majesty, is there someone in the court who has a lot of complaints about the use of soldiers?" Jiang Cheng still couldn't help but ask.

As a witness to the fall and revival of the Great Song Dynasty, of course he understood that the turning point between victory and defeat was after the succession of the little emperor, and the dynasty from weak to strong was due to his overall planning and planning, otherwise there would not be today's good situation. Of course, the little emperor is not thin on the Jiang family, he is a member of the town guard, and his brother has entered the court again this time, ranking as the ruler, continuing the glory of the Jiang family. In this way, both public and private, the Jiang family and the little emperor have formed a community, which is a situation where all losses are lost, and its defeat is the end of the Jiang family.

"Hehe, this is not unusual, there will always be people who will put forward different opinions on everything, but I am not as arbitrary as before!" Zhao Yu chuckled.

"Your Majesty, these people have really forgotten their roots, if it weren't for Your Majesty's efforts to turn the tide, where would there be a day to return to Jiangnan. It's really hateful that you have just lived a few comfortable days now, and you want to provoke again! Jiang Cheng clenched his fists and said.

"Jiang Dushuai doesn't have to be angry, I am not averse to having different opinions, after all, everyone's experience and insight are different, after all, the nine sons of the dragon are still good, and I am also a person, not a sage, and it is not a bad thing for someone to mention something. Today's words from Jiang Dushuai helped me solve the difficult problem I was thinking about! Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Your Majesty's mind is beyond the reach of the minister, but if someone dares to commit it, the minister will not hesitate to die***** Cheng Yan said.

"Jiang Dushuai's heart, I am very grateful!" Zhao Yu thanked him, and then said, "At present, the first priority of our dynasty is to expel the Tartars and restore our Central Plains. But whoever is just for personal or the selfish interests of a certain group, no matter who it is, I will expel them from the court! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, even if the minister is thousands of miles away, once he has summoned the troops to lead the army." Jiang Cheng said.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu and the owner of the village have come to ask for an audience!" At this time, Wang De came in and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister will retire first!" Hearing this, Jiang Cheng hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Well, that's fine. Du Shuai worked hard, and submitted today's proposal as soon as possible! Zhao Yu thought about what he had to say, nodded and said......

Sending Jiang Cheng away, Zhao Yu drank two cups of tea in a row, and rubbed his face with his hands to make himself feel more energetic. Don't look at just one conversation, but it also makes him feel exhausted, and he feels that this emperor is not as good as the 'island owner'. At that time, Qiongzhou was not as big as the land in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it was the population, or the money and food, he knew everything about it, and he could dispatch what he needed without asking. But now it can't be done, all kinds of things are complicated, and the situation is endless, which makes him feel a little overwhelmed, and this is just the beginning.

However, Zhao Hao had long realized that he was not a god, and it was impossible to solve all the problems, nor could he understand every corner of his ruling area, let alone solve every problem that arose. But at present, I can't give up my power easily, you must know that everyone likes this thing, and it will be difficult to give it out and get it back, especially at the critical moment of the struggle between the two powers, it just hurts yourself, pitiful!

"Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy, sit down!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to let the two of them be exempt and sat down opposite him, and Wang De had already ordered Xiao Huangmen to clean up the table, remove the residual tea, and send new tea.

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite!" Seeing that the two of them wanted to thank him again, Zhao Yu waved his hand and said bluntly, "Yesterday, Chen Shangshu raised the matter of currency chaos in the palace, and I thought that this matter was related to the lifeblood of my dynasty, so I specially invited the two of you to come to discuss in order to find a solution to it!" ”

"Chen Shangshu, please!" Zhuang Shilin looked at Chen Zeweng looking at him, and arched his hands.

"I'm disrespectful!" After Chen Zeweng returned the salute to Zhuang Shilin, he turned to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there are not only copper coins minted in the previous dynasties in Jiangnan today, but also copper coins and all kinds of iron coins minted in our dynasty, as well as the remaining Huizi, and even the Zhiyuan banknotes of Mengyuan, and the currency values are different in various places, so that it is very chaotic, which makes it difficult to count the taxes of the imperial court and make it difficult to circulate!" ”

"After the Xing Dynasty moved back to Jiangnan, didn't it issue an edict that Qiongzhou salt banknotes could be circulated in various parts of Jiangnan to replace the old banknotes?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister checked the old files of last year. During the period when the criminal minister Yao Liangchen was the head of the household department, he used to exchange old banknotes and iron money according to the edict, but according to the old practice of the previous dynasties, he exchanged 770 yuan for small flat money for consistent salt money, 30 for iron money, and 100 for 1 yuan banknote. However, it does not take into account the unified acceptance of currencies and styles, so that some people take advantage of the different currencies in different places to make profits from the exchange and exchange. Chen Zeweng replied.

However, in the past year, the people still do not trust the imperial court, and there are not many copper coins collected, but most of them are iron coins and Zhiyuan banknotes. In fact, this is still secondary, the minister is worried about the salt banknotes, and the salt banknotes circulating in the market today are divided into three kinds, but the currency value is different, and the salt accepted is also different. And there is no acceptance period for salt banknotes, and the value of the currency has been stable, and many merchants and people use it as savings, which makes the minister even more worried! ”

"Chen Shangshu, please speak, don't worry about it!" Zhao Yu saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and urged.

"Your Majesty, the salt banknotes were originally produced in Qiongzhou, and the amount of salt produced and the amount of salt issued were only limited to Qiongzhou, and the imperial court could effectively recycle the old dynasty. However, after flowing into the south of the Yangtze River, it is still promulgated according to this practice, and now the salt fields in the south of the Yangtze River have not been restored, and the salt is mostly from Qiongzhou, and the currency value can still be maintained. But once more and more salt money is accumulated in the people, two situations will occur. ”

"First, the decline in the amount of salt produced by the Qiongzhou salt field makes the salt money unable to be redeemed, and it will quickly depreciate and lose credit, causing the imperial court's income to drop sharply; Second, the Jiangnan salt field recovered, the output increased, and the issuance of salt banknotes also increased, even if the imperial court could still control the price of salt by decree, but the flood of salt banknotes in the market would also lead to depreciation, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Chen Zeweng said worriedly.

"What does the owner of the village think?" After listening to this, Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, he didn't think that salt was not a heavy metal such as gold and silver, the output was limited, and it was easy to control, and it was easy to keep the currency value stable based on it. Although salt is a necessary substance, it can be produced on a large scale, and the output is easily affected by external conditions such as climate, and its value fluctuates greatly. It can be implemented in a corner of Qiongzhou, but it is also caused by external conditions. Now that this condition is lost, salt money is okay as a short-term security, but it is no longer feasible as a currency.

"The subordinates think that Chen Shangshu's words are reasonable." Zhuang Shilin said, "At present, the imperial court pays salaries, pays military expenses and purchases, and settles them in salt and cash. Once the salt money is depreciated, it will not only affect the people, but also the imperial court will be difficult to bear. Although Zhuang Shilin did not say more, he had no objection to what he said.

"Well, in this case, the only way to solve the problem is to issue new coins, but I am a little worried that if the issuance fails, the consequences will be even more serious!" Zhao Hao frowned, he had already thought about the consequences of depreciation, and raised his eyes to look at the two people.

"Your Majesty's concerns are good, but my subordinates think that the issuance of new coins may still be able to control the situation. And if it is allowed to deteriorate, it will be a disaster! Chen Zeweng said.

"I also know that this is related to the rise and fall of our dynasty. I wonder if Chen Shangshu has a specific implementation strategy to replace the old currency? Zhao also knew that monetary reform was imperative, but his initial measures to replace it with salt money were obviously unrealistic. And this is not an ordinary matter, even more serious than the defeat of a war, when the economy collapses, prices skyrocket, the government loses credibility, the people lose their hearts, and there is no room for redemption. But he knew some fur with the memory of his previous life, but he had no practical experience at all, so he asked the two for advice.

"Your Majesty, there is no specific implementation strategy for the minister, but there are precedents to follow in the first dynasty, and there is no big mistake in implementing it accordingly!" Chen Zeweng replied.

"By all means, the policy of the first dynasty has obviously failed, otherwise it will not lead to the court not being able to make ends meet, the people's grievances are boiling, and the people's hearts are lost!" Zhuang Shilin didn't wait for the little emperor to speak, so he waved his hand again and again to express his opposition.

"Is there a proper way to do the business?" Chen Zeweng turned his face to look at him and asked.

"This ...... I can't do anything about this for the time being! Zhuang Shilin knows that he can still be competent in accounting and financial management, but he does not have the experience or ability to operate such a large plate.

"In that case, I have some ideas, let's take a closer look at them and see if it's feasible?" Seeing that the two of them had no idea, Zhao Yu took a sip of tea and thought about it, it seems that he is still so much better than them, why don't you let them listen to it first and make suggestions.

"Listen to your subordinates!" The two of them saluted in unison.

"As far as I know, the currencies issued by all dynasties are made of things that have value, and after the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the dynasties minted coins with copper and iron, because the value of copper and iron was stable. At present, the production of copper and iron in our dynasty is low, and the war is continuous, and the use of weapons is still insufficient, so I think that the issuance of paper money is still the best way at present. Zhao Yu said, "Previously, we used salt as a guarantee for the cashing of paper money, although at this time there have been defects, but there is also experience to follow, in other words, the price of gold and silver is more stable than the value of salt, copper and iron as a guarantee of payment!" ”

"What Your Majesty thinks, subordinates think it is feasible, but the gold and silver stored in the household department are limited, which is not enough as a guarantee!" Chen Zeweng thought about it, but he also expressed his worries.

"Chen Shangshu, there should be a lot of silk silk accumulated in the left treasury of the household, and its value is equivalent to copper coins, which can be used as a guarantee for the issuance of new coins, and will gradually replace gold and silver in the future!" Zhuang Shilin put forward an alternative feasible plan.

"What the owner of the village said is good, how can I forget this verse!" Chen Zeweng was stunned for a moment, and then said suddenly. In fact, all dynasties have used silk silk as physical currency, and it is basically stable at a silk silk is equal to consistent money, even if there is a fluctuation, it will not be too big.

"Okay, let's think this plan is feasible first, and then talk about the amount of currency issued!" Zhao Hao thought about it again and continued, "I think that the amount of money issued should be based on the taxes we collected in the current year, and should not be exceeded, so as not to cause depreciation; It is also necessary to issue less, so as not to be unable to meet the circulation in the market. In the future, it will increase and decrease according to this year to avoid getting out of control! ”

"Your Majesty does not mean to issue according to the boundary, and the printed banknotes will no longer be recycled, but will be circulated forever?" Zhuang Shilin understood a little and asked.

"It can also be said, but paper money is not as good as copper coins for preservation, faint money still has to be recovered, and my Great Song Dynasty is not always so poor, gold and silver reserves increase, paper money also has to respond to the increase." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Therefore, the value of paper money is equal to the corresponding value of gold and silver, and it must be relatively stable, cannot be changed at will, and it is mandatory in the initial stage and is controlled by the imperial court!" ”

"Hmm...... His Majesty's words seem to be reasonable, but there are still many copper and iron coins in the people, and it is very difficult to recover them, and the value of the currency varies from place to place, so it may be difficult to implement the compulsory substitution of paper money! Chen Zeweng probably understood, but thought it was very difficult to operate.

"This is also my concern, unless there is a proper way, the rash issuance of new coins will also cause chaos and panic!" Zhao Yu actually knows that the largest stock of the current Great Song Dynasty is copper and iron money, and the current circulation is not only cast in the Song Dynasty, but also minted in the past dynasties, and these copper coins have the highest credit in the people......
