The people who disappeared into the night eventually all entered the Jianzhang Palace from different positions.

Liu Che thought earlier that Zhang Yuan would not come to Chang'an often, so he did not send an embroidered messenger to infiltrate the Xin'anhou Mansion in Chang'an City.

At the moment, this negligence has become the biggest problem.

It is not easy to immediately insert the embroidered messenger into the Xin'anhou Mansion in Chang'an City.

In desperation, this group of embroidered messengers could only achieve the purpose of probing the news by tracking the people of Xin'anhou Mansion and Zhang Yuan.

After summarizing the news every night, he handed the news to Liu Che's desk.

Liu Che's vigilance was greatly improved by Sang Hongyang all of a sudden.

There are no important political matters to deal with at the moment, and the most important thing for Liu Che now is to find out Zhang Yuan's plan and the child in Wei Zifu's womb.

Originally, it would have been clear to Zhang Yuan if he asked, but it took so much manpower to investigate.

Liu Che flipped through the information on the desk page by page.

The brow is getting more and more furrowed.

It wasn't because he was worried about anything, but he found that he couldn't know what Zhang Yuan wanted to do now from Zhang Yuan's behavior.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't understand.

Liu Che ruled for several decades, although he once again unified the currency and promulgated a series of economic policies.

However, he is not sensitive to the economy, which is why a certain grandfather would say that Liu Che is a little lost.

But the biggest advantage of the surname Liu is that he can use people.

It seems that Wei Yuan proposed the master's long technique to control Yi in the late Qing Dynasty, but this concept appeared as early as 2,000 years ago, perhaps even earlier in places where history has not recorded.

Liu Che's hand is called governing business with business.

It was already late at night, but there were still three people standing below Liu Che.

Sang Hong Yang, Dongguo Xianyang and Kong only.

Sang Hongyang was the son of a merchant, Dongguo Xianyang was a salt merchant, and Kong was only an iron smelter.

These three people are the inner circle of Liu Che's economic reform.

"Several, take a look for yourselves.

What is the purpose of this Zhang Yuan to do so many puzzling things. ”

Among the three, Sang Hongyang was the closest to Liu Che, so he took a few steps forward to receive this information from Liu Che.

After distributing it to the other two, Sang Hongyang himself looked at it.

He was the same as Liu Che, the more he looked, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

Before he finished reading it, he said to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, all the actions of Xin'anhou should be to make the people accept the five-baht money."

"That's the only purpose?"

Liu Che thought that Zhang Yuan would do something demagogic, but after doing it for a long time, he didn't expect that it was just to make everyone accept the use of five baht money.

"Your Majesty must not despise Xin'anhou, the minister thinks that he should have a deeper purpose."

"Tell me, what does Zhang Yuan want to do?"

Sang Hongyang couldn't guess Zhang Yuan's true intentions after thinking about it.

In fact, Zhang Yuan's true intentions are easy to guess, he told Princess Pingyang at the beginning, and Liu Che also knew through Princess Pingyang.

But no one wants to believe it.

Liu Che and Princess Pingyang didn't believe it because Liu Che's previous two currency reforms failed.

And Sang Hongyang didn't believe it because from his point of view, a liege should not be so selfless.

As long as the five-baht coin has not been faked, then Zhang Yuan will definitely not be able to profit from it.

Before, he thought that Zhang Yuan opened Qian Zhuangzi to make money, and the ten percent interest in Wuyan Lang's mouth could make money as long as there were few bad debts.

But when the Ziqian Zhuangzi opened, the interest of five thousandths was indeed only enough to maintain the operation of the Zhuangzi.

The model of the development and growth of Ziqian Zhuang is very simple, that is, put the principal into it, and then start to put the sub-money, and then it will roll bigger and bigger like a snowball.

But Zhang Yuan's current model at this time is equivalent to doing charity, and it is charity without reputation.

No matter how low the interest rate is, Ziqian Zhuangzi will not have a good reputation.

Others do charity for fame, or for profit, but Zhang Yuan is not for fame or profit, which makes Sang Hongyang unacceptable.

"I need to take another look."

As soon as Sang Hongyang's words came out, Liu Che's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, you may not be able to find out what the purpose of Xin'anhou is, but the minister has found out what he is going to do next."

Kong only seemed to have found something amazing, and said to Liu Che very excitedly.

"Speak quickly!"

"There are people in the Xin'anhou Mansion who left Chang'an City and went all the way to the southwest.

The minister guessed that he was looking for the grandson of Zhuo Wang of Shu County, and he heard for a long time that the Marquis of Xin'an and the eldest daughter of the Linqiong Zhuo clan of Shu County were in fornication.

Some time ago, Xin'an Hou ran into a wall in Wuyan Lang, and he must find another rich man to cooperate.

Even if Xin'anhou has a solid family, in the face of Chang'an, the internal history realm or the entire Han Dynasty, it is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree.

When all his possessions are released, it is like raindrops falling into a lake and a river flowing into the sea, and it cannot hit the slightest wave. ”

"Your Majesty, what Kong Shizhong said is right.

Everything that Xin Anhou did in front of him must be a temptation.

When the Linqiong Zhuo clan helped him, with the Zhuo clan's financial resources, Xin'anhou's sub-money business could overpower the Wuyan clan in the inner history realm. ”

Sima Qian is a person who has seen the world, he can call the Linqiong Zhuo clan a huge wealth and raised to the level of the country, Zhuo Wangsun's wealth is not as simple as outsiders seem.

"Should it be stopped or not?"

Liu Che listened to what the three of them said, but he couldn't get to the point, and after talking for a long time, he didn't know what real harm Zhang Yuan would do to him if he made the plate bigger.

The earlier point of lightlessness on his face had been left behind by Liu Che first.

"Your Majesty, you must not do anything to Xin'anhou.

But you can restrain the Linqiong Zhuo clan.

A merchant has such a great fortune that he already has the strength to rebel. ”

Now that Liu Che is not short of money, the way these three businessmen fooled Liu Che changed from money to rebellion.

It is estimated that Zhang Yuan did not expect such a change.

Think about the three industries that Liu Che reformed first.

Coinage, salt industry, and iron smelting all require a lot of labor, and the construction site is deep in the mountains or coastal areas.

They are all places beyond the reach of the government, and one of these three people is the most familiar with minting money, and the other two are their own old professions.

Liu Che gathered the three men, and it seems that the initial purpose was not for economic purposes, but for political considerations.

"Your Majesty, what Kong Shizhong said is right.

Chen feels that some industries can no longer be laissez-faire.

Take the coinage industry, as well as the iron smelting industry and the salt industry.

Salt can be exchanged for money, iron can be turned into weapons, workers can be turned into soldiers, trucks can be transformed into chariots, and if copper coins can be minted privately, those private mine owners can unite and rebel again, isn't it a little scary? ”

Sang Hongyang's words hit Liu Che's deepest worries.

The emperors of the Western Han Dynasty have never been worried about external troubles, they can be rigid when they first get up, and they are also very doggy when they get up. bar

Anyway, the old ancestor was born as a hooligan, and they never cared about a little infamy.

On the contrary, what they are most worried about is the problem of internal rebellion, the reason is very simple, there are too many rebellions.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms even almost overthrew the rule of Emperor Jing of Han.

The demise of the Western Han Dynasty and the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty all prove that Liu Che's worries are not groundless, nor are they groundless.

When the Western Han Dynasty fell, the Southern Xiongnu wanted to rebel, but after thinking about it, they forgot it.

When the Eastern Han Dynasty fell, Xianbei also wanted to rebel, but in the end, he saw that Boss Cao still forgot it.

Throughout the ages, only when the Qin and Han dynasties perished, the powerful soldiers deterred foreigners from invading the Central Plains.

"You think it's time to put an end to this?"

"Your Majesty still plans to go to the Xiongnu next year, and this year's Your Majesty brings the power of last year's Han army's great victory is the time for reform."

Sang Hongyang has been in the position of the waiter for a long time, although he is very loved by Liu Che, but he is not allowed to reuse.

"However, the master of the Great Bank intends to implement the Tui En Order, will it damage the foundation of the Great Han to punish those rebellious merchants again?"

Liu Che almost didn't say it, so many decrees were promulgated together, which would make those merchants turn around and throw themselves into the arms of the princes and kings.

"Your Majesty, the Decree of Grace is to promote your favor to the world, so that all the princes' heirs can be rewarded.

As for the merchants, it is easier, and the matter of moving the rich people from all over the world into the customs cannot be delayed in the construction of Maoling.

If those businessmen concealed their assets earlier, or the officials at all levels concealed them and did not report them, Your Majesty, you could have ordered them to check and fill in the gaps again.

First of all, for those merchants who are engaged in the salt industry and iron smelting industry, let them all move to Maoling-eup.

Who else will be able to move right under your nose? As for the direct execution of civilians who minted copper coins privately, these people were the source of the Han troubles. ”

Sang Hongyang couldn't wait to pour out all the thoughts in his heart about Shangjia.

Liu Che was immediately opened to the next of mind.

Originally, he hadn't found a good excuse to target those merchants, but Sang Hongyang immediately provided him with ideas.

When the wealthy families from all over the world moved into Maolingyi, they had a family property of 3 million at a clearly marked price.

Who believes that King Zhuo's grandson's family property is not three million?

In the past, every time this happened, these merchants would give money and find someone to replace them.

Generations of emperors turned a blind eye to it.

The laws of the Han Dynasty are also allowed to be replaced, otherwise the merchants will have no chance to make a fortune at all, and they will all have to be enslaved one by one.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the emperor did not want to target these people.

Liu Che's eyes are now fixed on this group of people, can he still let it go?

"Okay, then do it.

Tomorrow morning, I will order the Prime Minister's Mansion to write the death of those who privately mint copper coins into the law.

Then send people to investigate in various places, and those with solid family property will be forcibly moved in if they do not enter Chang'an. ”

In the early days of every country, the laws are bound to be full of loopholes.

In particular, China's habit of being feasible without any prohibition by law has produced a group of wealthy people like an assembly line.

There is no clean background for businessmen, and taking advantage of the loopholes of the law is the favorite thing for businessmen to do.

Why do you want to open a company in the Oman Islands and save money in Switzerland, just because the local laws can protect them.

Liu Che would not have thought that even if he issued the decree, those merchants would find a loophole.

"Your Majesty is wise, should we stop the matter of Xin'anhou?"

The private minting of copper coins is aimed at those ordinary people.

The county level and the princes can mint money, and they can mint money openly.

The reason why no one mints money is because the copper ore is in the hands of the state, so only the government mints money, and no princes mint money.

The re-smelting of the coin meant that some of the impurities in the coin were gone.

Now that private copper coins are prevalent, copper coins can no longer be thinner, and taking copper coins to smelt new copper coins like Zhang Yuan is for the princes to use money to make money.

"Let's take a look for a moment."

"Whoa."

Sang Hongyang was a little dissatisfied, but he still bowed his head and promised.

The young man of the Han Dynasty was either jealous or envious of Zhang Yuan, and Sang Hongyang was even more jealous, he was not weaker than anyone else in his own ability.

and has served Liu Che for more than ten years, and the trust between the two should far exceed that of others, but it cannot be reused.

And Zhang Yuan can be said to have no background at all, but now he can get to this point, how can he not make people jealous.

"Then let's all disperse."

The three of them retreated.

......

After the end of the morning dynasty the next day, Chang'an City was plunged into a new round of earthquakes.

"Do you all know that the Son of Heaven wants to purge those who mint copper coins privately?

Grab one and kill the other, absolutely no mercy. ”

"I just heard that Xin'anhou has minted a new copper coin called five baht coins.

Your Majesty, is this going to target Xin'anhou? ”

"You are stupid, what Your Majesty wants to kill is a private caster, and the Xin'anhou minting money is an upright coinage.

You usually have to read more, and you don't even understand the meaning of the new laws issued by the government. ”

"Then you mean that His Majesty intends to help Xin'anhou implement the five-baht coin?"

"It must be, Xin'anhou is the hero of the Han Dynasty and His Majesty's henchman.

At this time, Your Majesty promulgated this kind of decree, what do you mean?

It must be vigorously promoted to the five-baht coin! ”

"Then why don't we go to Qingpingfang and exchange all the copper coins at home for five baht!"

"Yes, you have to hurry, otherwise you may not be able to exchange five baht for a day today."

Liu Che couldn't have imagined that the people would understand him so well.

However, it is natural for the people to think so, whether it is official or private, it is money.

There is nothing wrong with cracking down on private casters, and people understand that it is not wrong to support official casting.

Now the government has not issued a new copper coin, only Zhang Yuan has launched a five-baht coin, and Zhang Yuan is the new Anhou Taixue order of the Han Dynasty.

In the hearts of the people, isn't Zhang Yuan just an official?

People in other places may not be so sensitive to Liu Che's orders, but this is Chang'an.

Chang'an City can be said to be the place with the least privately minted copper coins, and the half tael coin that Liu Che ordered to mint a few years ago is still in use today, and there are no other copper coins at all.

When the people misunderstood Liu Che's meaning, a phenomenon appeared.

Thousands of people were blocked at the gate of Qingpingfang that afternoon, and almost no one bought paper, all of them came to exchange money.

Lao Zhao was almost stunned, he didn't know what happened at the court meeting, and even if he knew, he couldn't think of any connection between the two.

There is another person who is stunned, but it is not Zhang Yuan or Liu Che.

The two of them still don't know about the hot phenomenon outside the gate of Qingpingfang.

The people from the Pingyang Hou Mansion who settled in Qingpingfang told Princess Pingyang about the situation as soon as possible.

She was stunned when she found out.
