Chapter 714: The Storm Is Approaching
In this way, Guan Yu issued an edict the next day after making his decision, and on the third day, Xu Shu packed up and traveled in the morning.
As an important minister of the current Han family, unlike Pang Lin, who is married and has no children, Xu Shu has been adrift for half his life and has never married.
When following the first emperor, everyone's conditions were not good, and many difficulties that could be overcome were overcome.
When he was deceived to the north, he felt guilty and didn't bother to run his family.
On this day, he traveled, Guan Yu did not go out of the city to see him off, but only sent some knights to escort Xu Shu, the situation was urgent, Xu Shu could not sit on a safe and comfortable boat to go north, so he could only hurry up to his post.
Guan Yu didn't come, but Zhao Yun did.
One is General Wei, and the other is about to serve as the state pastor of the fake festival, and it is inconvenient for the two to communicate with each other in the future, and those who should avoid suspicion have to avoid suspicion.
In addition to Zhao Yun, there were other officials to see him off, but Zhao Yun had the highest status, and stepped forward in public: "Yuan Zhigong, the past is difficult, and the servant only has a strong wine." ”
"General Zilong......"
Xu Shu caught the golden copper wine lord with both hands, and his eyelids sank, and he wanted to tell Zhao Yunshu to guard the palace and keep an eye on the safety of the royal family, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
It turned out to be the Imperial History Zhongcheng, who had the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and was responsible for everything he said and did, and advised Zhao Yun to work seriously...... It will cause bad things. Now that he is a state pastor, he is an important minister and a foreign minister, and it is not suitable to talk about Zhao Yun's work.
Zhao Yun made eye contact with him, slightly understood, and bowed slightly.
The current emperor is very difficult to manage, and Xiang Zhong is responsible for the emperor's guards, which is different from the forbidden army of the guards; Xiang Zhong also managed Lang officials and the attendants of the Son of Heaven, and had the duty of picketing and persuading the emperor to correct his mistakes.
However, the emperor almost did not inquire about political affairs through his attendants and close ministers, nor did he express his opinions, and showed that he did not care about political affairs and military affairs.
This is obviously problematic, with the current boring palace life, how can the emperor have the patience to play with flowers and trees, or squander time in fishing and playing with cats?
Life in the palace was very monotonous, and the emperor must have something else to divert his attention...... But Xiang Pet couldn't find the main clues, and he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
As for the emperor, he did not care about government affairs, and did not study and discuss government affairs...... In this process, he naturally snubbed and alienated the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and if there was no intersection of work, it would be impossible for the emperor to make mistakes, and Xiang Zhong would not be able to correct the emperor's mistakes, so he could only speak and harass the emperor again and again.
The emperor also always challenges Xiang Pet's patience, wandering in front of Xiang Pet's bottom line, and every time Xiang Pet is ready to go to the general to complain and prepare for the burning of jade, the emperor can be a little diligent for a while, showing the enthusiasm of studying government affairs.
In this way, the emperor repeatedly concocted the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial history under Xu Shu was everywhere, so he naturally knew a lot of inside information.
The boring palace life has neither superfluous palace maids nor other young men such as archery, safari or wrestling; The Emperor himself was not a man who liked music or could devote himself to a particular skill.
So the problem is obvious, the emperor must have something to divert his attention, but Xu Shu is inconvenient to trace.
I don't know if the things that the emperor is studying are good or bad, and whether the general knows about it...... Caught in it, Xu Shu is in a dilemma.
It just so happened that Ma Liang had an accident there, and he took over in the past, so that he could keep the position of Yanzhou and Kandong to support the Han Dynasty, and he could also compete for Luoyang and Hebei nearby.
Zhao Yun holds the military power, so it is naturally impossible to closely participate in the daily government affairs of the palace and the imperial court.
After all, Chen Zhi is in charge of an unconventional unit, and no one dares to ignore Chen Zhi's existence.
The current court, you are derelict in your duties...... Running to Guan Yu to intercede can often open the net and save a life; If it is committed in the hands of Chen, it is impossible to even have a chance to intercede.
However, Chen Zhi was busy tracking down the spies lurking in the country and did not care about ordinary cases.
In this way, Xu Shu left Jiangdu, and his departure and the situation that Liao Li was destined to enter the game made the entire Jiangdu suddenly active.
Shaofu Bureau, Yang Shaofu is busy minting updated coin samples...... Guanzhong, Nanyang, Xiangzhou, and Lingnan are all minting coins, and although there is no specific sample of the coinage sent to Jiangdu, Tian Xin sent a set of mother money for Jiangdu to make molds and mint new money of the same specification.
But Xinqian only sees the year name of Zhangwu, not the year of Jianxing, which is definitely not good.
The general doesn't care about the difference between Zhangwu and Jianxing, even if the coinage of the imperial court in the future will be the name of Zhangwu, so he has no opinion on this.
But the ministers of the Han Dynasty and the ministers are not blind, this is obviously not possible, and a new coin with the name of Jianxing must be minted.
This task fell to the five units of the Great Division, the Shaofu, the Household Department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Production, and in order to avoid trouble, Tian Rui, the master craftsman, has ignored the affairs of the Ministry of Production, and the management of the Ministry of Work is gradually transitioning to the Ministry of Industry.
Tian Rui didn't care about anything, so the main work pressure fell on Yang Shaofu and Wang Sinong, but Wang Sinong was seriously ill and could not be a director, so he took advantage of the situation to return the management of Si Jin Zhonglang and Governor Yan to Shaofu.
Salt and iron are mountain and sea mineral deposits, which are naturally managed by Shaofu, and coinage is the traditional work of Shaofu.
Wang Sinong retreated in great strides, and the power of Shaofu was gradually restored, but Yang Shaofu was very embarrassed and depressed.
According to the mother money sent by Guanzhong, the mold is made of copper, and then cast...... The new money in Beifu is equal to the weight of two straight hundred coins minted last year, and if you consider the difference in copper content, about two and a half straight hundred coins are equal to one new money in Beifu.
With the new money in Beifu to redefine the standard of five baht coins in circulation, then Yizhou will definitely blow up the nest, just like the bamboo pole poking the honeycomb; There are also garrisons and officials around Jiangdu, who doesn't have a straight hundred dollars at home?
The market is the most practical and honest, and if the standard five baht of Beifu is circulated, the straight hundred coins will fall into a mess.
Even the 105 baht minted in the early years was not as heavy and quality as the new money of Beifu, so a great storm caused by coins would detonate from the only metropolis in the country.
Households without millions or tens of millions of people will become poor in just a few days!
Yes, in the face of the new money in Beifu, it is impossible for the businessmen of Jiangdu to admit a hundred dollars, and the bold ones will even maliciously lower the price and eat a straight hundred and five baht.
Therefore, the imperial court tried to mint new money and exchange it for Zhibai money to resist this storm...... It's almost a fantasy.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the world's money system was chaotic, so in the Yuanzhan period, a new five-baht coin was minted in Shanglin Yuan, and a new five-baht coin was exchanged for five inferior five-baht coins minted by the county, but there was a surplus.
But now, if a new coin is exchanged for a straight hundred and five baht, people's hearts will collapse; In terms of the copper content of the coin, it is not strange to exchange one for two straight hundred coins.
However, those who hold new money do not look down on the straight hundred coins, and those who hold the direct hundred coins are unwilling to exchange them.
As for one straight hundred coins for two coins, or for one hundred and five baht coins of the same denomination...... Whoever makes this suggestion will definitely be beaten to death by the general as a spy of the Wei State.
In the face of the upcoming storm of new money, Yang Shaofu was sick and resigned to avoid the limelight.
But how could the general release people?
The irritability and depression have been with Yang Shaofu for a long time, and even when Xu Shu left Jiangdu, he didn't have the heart to see him off.
I have so much trouble, where do I have time to worry about others?
However, he was unlucky, thinking of Ma Liang, Wang Lian, and Jiang Wan, who were unlucky together, he was in a much better mood.
Everyone wants to help the prime minister stabilize the situation, and then take over the prime minister's position.
Ma Liang has fallen, and the closest to the prime minister's position are Shi Li Shao, the head of the prime minister's mansion, and Jiang Wan, the left servant of Shangshu.
In fact, I also thought about it, but now it is Xu Shu who has actually taken over the position of Ma Liang Yanzhou pastor...... In Yang Yi's eyes, the court of the Han Dynasty is really wonderful, as if it can make him forget the coinage task he bears.
