Chapter 491: Emperor Song Bank

Xiaomei is a master of this way, after everyone tasted a meal of tea and snacks, it was already the second half of the night, and the crowd without horses and vehicles had to rush home, and the flow of people was finally sparse, so everyone continued to set off and rushed to Xuande Gate to see Ao Mountain.

Su You must have Xiaomei and others come over today, because the case also prepared a gift for the new emperor Dengji.

I played all the way to the front of Xuande Gate, which was already impassable.

Su You picked up Shi Wei and Xiaomei in the car, and the man protected the girl in the middle.

Su You said: "The night is almost here, pay attention to the sky when the time comes." ”

Finally, in the palace, all over the temples, the bell of the Yuan night rang.

Then, in front of the Xuande Building, "Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of drums and thunder sounded.

Then, in the night sky dozens of meters above the Xuande Tower in Bianjing City, "Bang! "Smack!" "Smack!" Huge fireworks burst into flames.

"Wow-" The crowd exclaimed, saying that they were using the old facilities this year, and they thought there was nothing new to see, but they didn't expect the official family to prepare such a surprise for everyone!

Sparks flew around like meteors, golden at first, then red, green, yellow, purple......

Tonight's Bianjing people are drunk.

This is actually the method used by the Jade Bureau to identify metal compounds, and the little heavenly master discovered several different carbonates by burning alkaline earth, and after determining the carbonates, different flame color reactions indicate that they are different metal compounds.

They can then be extracted from the carbonate by electrolysis.

After treatment with nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, it was found that the flame of nitrate was the most vivid.

The red one is strontium nitrate, the green one is barium nitrate, the yellow one is sodium nitrate, and the blue one is copper nitrate......

Coupled with the successful development of mortars, it is not difficult to give fireworks.

Many people were shocked by this unearthly grand scene, knelt down reverently, shouted long live the mountain, and sincerely prayed for the emperor on the upper floor of Xuande.

Su You smiled and hugged Shi Wei's shoulder: "Wei'er, is it good-looking?" ”

Shi Wei looked at the sky in fascination: "Well, it's so beautiful, is it only our Great Song Dynasty that can see such a scene?" ”

Su You nodded: "I really hope that it can decorate the night sky of the Great Song Dynasty forever and set off the joy of the festival, and I don't want it to replace the wolf smoke and beacon fire...... However, this is not possible. ”

Chen Zhaoming also looked at the sky: "I believe there will be a day when ......"

After watching the fireworks, everyone began to return, and there was still an unfinished discussion along the way.

On the way back, you can also see many poor people lighting torches, carefully looking for something along the way.

Su You looked strange: "What are you doing here?" So many people are looking for Shenma? ”

Chen Zhaoming is an old Bianjing, and said with a smile: "This is called 'illuminating the night', there are a lot of rich children and girls traveling tonight, and the money and ornaments they carry with them are often squeezed and dropped, and they are picking them up." ”

I heard a woman squatting in the middle of the road with her back to the carriage and shouting, "Da Lang, come and see, I see an earring, is it golden?" ”

Su You hurriedly reined in the horse's reins, stopped the carriage, and waited for the woman to pass happily.

Then a man rushed over and covered her mouth: "What a mother-in-law who doesn't know anything!" Hurry up and give way to the officials! Hit and kill you in vain! ”

After speaking, he pulled the woman back to the side of the road and made a fuss at Su You.

Su You smiled slightly and returned the salute: "Happy New Year, big brother." Or pay attention to safety. ”

It wasn't until the carriage and horses were far away that the woman said, "At home, why are the officials still driving?" Don't you want to rush and give us a gift? ”

The man said, "You ask me, I ask who to go?" It's serious to hurry up and pick up money! Where's the earring? ”

……

The Lantern Festival passed, and the imperial court was on the right track.

The third envoy Tang Jie, the first thing he did in the last dynasty was to play Tiao Chen.

First, clean up the old cases of the three divisions, check the files, write off the workshops in Bianjing, the inner library, Changping, the salt prison, and the local arrears over the years, make a new book, and untie the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Second, the issuance of copper to lure businessmen, so that they will be shipped to Beijing with refined copper from Wangzhou, and use it as a reserve to issue copper banknotes.

Third, Sitong Bank, now in Zhulu to undertake the responsibility of the transfer of funds between merchants, very reputation, between the three divisions and Zhulu transfer division, banknotes and silver transfer many inconveniences, begging to open a special account in the bank, in order to facilitate the loan offset allocation.

Fourth, the Shu banknotes are well-printed, the patterns are exquisite, and the anti-counterfeiting measures are appropriate.

Fifth, the officials of the imperial court were often spent in kind, and the officials were already overwhelmed. Please give it in the form of copper money from now on, and it will be sent to a few officials and privates.

Sima Guang played, the first article, Tang Tietou dared to do it, which is naturally a good thing, but writing off the arrears, there will be countless cats, and there may be embezzlement of national assets, how to supervise, need to be seriously considered.

The second one, in fact, is the wisdom of Su You last year, and now that the crisis has passed, it seems that there is no need for businessmen to undertake it and share the benefits of the imperial court.

Article 3: It is convenient for the three divisions and the Zhulu Transit Division to open an account for loan and transfer of credits, but is it appropriate for the undertaking to be undertaken by a private bank?

Fourth, although the Shu banknotes are exquisite, but the old roads have been used for a long time, how to issue new banknotes, how to recycle the old banknotes, how to discount in the middle, will there be plundering of the people's interests?

Fifth, well, now the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are rich, one-third of the money, two-thirds of the goods, and of course the third-grade and above-grade officials with a big family and a big business, and everything is covered by the state. But below the third grade, every month is unbearable, and the servants at home also have to take on the work of selling materials in exchange for what they really need.

The benefits of this reform to the vast number of officials in Bianjing City are too great, and there is no opinion, no opinion at all.

So Tang Jie went on the second set of plans, and Sima Dazhi was thoughtful, so he had to improve on the basis of the first plan.

The first article, year by year, the files are stored in the three divisions of the treasury, but the workload is huge, it is difficult to make people look at it, first start with the three divisions to clean up, and then outline the index, the second step is to clean up Bianjing, Shudi, Hangyang and other economically developed areas, these local finances are good, there is a deficit to fill it is relatively easy, the third step is to go to the state, and gradually promote the whole country step by step.

Second, the Xiangjun Road Station, along the way to deduct, the consumption is only afraid of more than the merchants, the situation of the Cao Yun over the years must be very clear to the princes of the DPRK and China, copper politics is the lifeblood of the country, it is naturally inappropriate to hand over to the hands of businessmen, but let the existing Cao Yun system to undertake, I am afraid that it is even more inappropriate.

If there is a better way to do so, just put it forward, otherwise, then let the businessmen transfer it while speeding up the transformation of the transportation system, and we will grasp both sides.

Article 3, Article 4, Article 5, if you feel that it is not enough to hand over to ordinary businessmen, then can we let the appropriate people come? Like, Your Majesty?

Zhao Ji Qiangang is arbitrary, engage! On the part of the gold and silver stored in the inner treasury as the capital, the clan is willing to repay the service, Xu discounted the capital into shares, raised 2 million yuan in advance, and Sitong Qian Zhuang contributed 1.92 million yuan, a total of 3.92 million yuan, and established the Huangsong Bank! The Great Song Dynasty Salt Introduction, Copper Introduction, and Sitong Merchant Shudi Salt Introduction were combined into one, and a unified currency was issued - the Emperor Song Dynasty silver banknotes!

At the beginning of the establishment of the bank, its function was to issue official salaries, promote financial circulation, supervise the operation of the Huangzhuang Inner Estate, and also provide investment and loans.

However, there is a premise, work in strict accordance with the existing business model of Sitong Money Bank to prevent fraud.

To put it bluntly, the royal family occupies a name and also accounts for 51% of the shares, but only the supervisor is sent to supervise, and the specific operation is to change the name of Sitong Qianzhuang and put it under the name of the royal family.

After the operation is done properly, the bank can also assist in clearing the arrears in various places, strengthen the supervision of the local two taxes, and reduce the accumulation and loss of materials.

But this is a purely commercial activity, and all operations must also be done in the same way as the current business model, paying taxes and benefiting the government.

The author behind this operation is, of course, Su You, who is trying to figure out his own governance methods after more than ten years of the Great Song Dynasty.
