…

Historically, after Zhao Jianjian established the Generalissimo's Mansion, he wanted soldiers without soldiers, and he had no money for money.

Later, Zhang Wei responded to Zhao Gou's call and several civil and military officers in Benzhou led the township soldiers of Benzhou to report to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Seeing that Zhao Gou was so poor that he was about to urinate blood, Zhang Wei suggested that Zhao Gou print salt money in the name of the Generalissimo's Mansion for business travel.

Zhao Gou put Zhang Wei in charge of this matter.

It only took Zhang Wei more than ten days to raise 500,000 yuan for Zhao Gou to recruit troops and raise the army.

After that, Zhao Gou ran around, relying on Zhang Wei's method to issue bonds, so that he could survive.

That's right.

Like Zhao Kai, this Zhang Wei is also a financial talent in this era, and even a financial genius.

When Cai was still writing novels, he had consulted some knowledge about currency issuance, and he was half a bucket of water for currency issuance.

But although Cai still has a general understanding of currency issuance, he does not have a good grasp of the details.

Not to mention how to prevent counterfeiting and make advanced paper, relying on the summary of the Internet gods in later generations, Cai Ying and Jiang Xingzu have actually made it almost the same, and no matter how much Zhang Wei helps, it can only be the icing on the cake, and it cannot be a charcoal in the snow.

What really worries Cai and Jiang Xingzu, who is now helping Cai still issue military tickets, is how to control the exchange ratio between military tickets and the copper coins, iron coins, and money issued by the Northern Song court.

During the first year of Daguan, the Northern Song Dynasty court suddenly increased the circulation of Jiaozi, reaching 20 times the initial number of issuance.

The indiscriminate issuance of Jiaozi has led to a sharp depreciation of Jiaozi, and the shrinkage rate has reached about 75%.

In order to curb the momentum of depreciation, Cai Jing changed Jiaozi to "Qian Yin", and limited the circulation of Qian Yin to 1.25 million yuan, and also made restrictions on the circulation area, mainly in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Hedong, so that the depreciation was temporarily suppressed.

But Zhao Ji was too extravagant and wasteful, and even poor and extravagant, spending too much, which made the money of the Northern Song Dynasty empty, and Cai Jing and others could only send money to Zhao Jichao.

Therefore, it is an inevitable trend for money to lead to a big depreciation.

Moreover, not only did the money depreciate, Cai Jing began to mint five coins a long time ago (big copper coins/big iron coins and small flat coins in parallel, big copper coins/big iron coins in one exchange for five), and now they have begun to cast ten coins (big copper coins/big iron coins and small flat coins in parallel, big copper coins/big iron coins are exchanged for ten), which makes copper coins and iron coins also depreciate significantly.

The point is, soon war is coming.

And as long as the war comes, the money, copper and iron money will inevitably depreciate, and it will be greatly depreciated, even to the extent that it will depreciate every day.

In this case, Cai still has to find professionals to help him issue military tickets and control the value of military tickets.

Cai still can't do this, even if he can do it, Cai still doesn't have the time.

Therefore, Cai is still bound to find someone to help him do these things, and Zhao Kai and Zhang Wei, who are good at financial management and issuing coins, are very suitable candidates.

Now there is only one problem, that is, whether it is Zhao Kai in Dangzhi County, or Zhang Wei, who is a transfer judge, their official positions are higher than Cai Yi, and they have no reason to serve Cai Yi, who has a lower official position than them.

This is also one of the reasons why Cai is still desperately climbing up.

In this regard, before climbing to a certain high position, Cai still has no good way.

Now, Cai can only suffer a little by himself, and use some inferior talents to take a moment first.

But the more this is the case, the more careful Cai still has to be, lest the military ticket with a great future be invalidated by himself.

Therefore, Cai is still sincerely discussing with Zhang Wei, no, to be precise, Cai is still sincerely consulting with Zhang Wei.

Although Zhang Wei could see that Cai was still ambitious, he could never have imagined that Cai was still fighting with the idea of printing money to rebel in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Wei, who also has the heart to take the road of the Cai family and be promoted, knows everything about what Cai still asks.

As the two discussed and discussed, Xu Bingzhe and Jiang Xingzu soon couldn't keep up, and then they were surprised by their knowledge and understanding of money and financial management.

In fact, not only Xu Bingzhe and Jiang Xingzu, but even Zhang Wei was shocked by Cai Ying's insight and understanding of money and financial management, and many of the questions that Cai still casually raised, Zhang Wei, who is known as "on the benefits and disadvantages of Qian Valley, still know all the palms" has never even thought about it before.

This made Zhang Wei more and more serious, and in the end, it even became Zhang Wei racking his brains to answer the questions Cai still asked.

This also made Zhang Wei and Cai still more and more engaged the more they chatted.

The same is true for Tsai.

Xu Bingzhe looked at it, this can't be done, he is still counting on Cai to help him run the promotion, how can Cai still talk to Zhang Wei endlessly?

Xu Bingzhe found an opportunity for Zhang Yu to answer Cai Ying's question, and said with a smile: "General Cai and Master Zhang will be working together for a long time in the future, so why rush today, today is the day when everyone in my Tangyin County is waiting for you to wash the dust, please have a few more drinks, let others know that we have not neglected you." ”

Xu Bingzhe is right, anyway, it is not a matter of one or two days to exterminate the Song Jiang rebels, and he has time to communicate with Zhang Wei.

Moreover, there are some things that the less people know, the better.

Therefore, Cai still raised his glass again and said to Xu Bingzhe and the others: "Thank you for your help to Xiao Ke, don't be grateful, Xiao Ke respects a few adults, do it first." ”

After speaking, Cai still drank it all.

Cai Ying's boldness ignited the enthusiasm of the people at the wine table.

Everyone began to push the cups and change the lamps......

A group of officials from Tangyin County took turns to fight.

Although Cai is still massive, it is inevitable that he will be a little drunk in the end.

Cai is still the biggest drinker, and this is still the case.

Zhang Wei and Jiang Xingzu, who didn't drink much, were naturally even worse - they were carried upstairs in the end.

When he was still separated from Cai, Xu Bingzhe's two little guys picked two partners, Xu Bingzhe said: "I just heard the general at the wine table that the general lacks gold and silver standard military tickets, and I just have 10,000 taels of good garlic gold here, so I can support the general a little." ”

Cai still excused himself and said: "How can this make Brother Xu take it back quickly." ”

10,000 taels of gold, which sounds like a lot, is actually 100,000 taels.

If this money is placed in the eyes of others, it is designated as a lot of money.

But for Cai Yi, who has a monthly income of hundreds of thousands, this money is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, Cai still really didn't want to accept Xu Bingzhe's 10,000 taels of garlic gold.

Xu Bingzhe said: "I heard, General Cai, your soap is very profitable, and there is no shortage of my ten thousand taels of gold, but this red gold is very troublesome to collect, and the general is busy fighting, how can you have time to replace gold and silver, so the general should not shirk my kindness, the big deal, this ten thousand garlic gold is what I lent to the general, and when the general is not busy in the future, I will return it to me, I have no other intentions, I just think that General Cai is a hero, and I want to make General Cai a friend." ”

Xu Bingzhe's words are really to the point.

In this era, there was little gold and silver, and it was really troublesome to collect - although a long time ago, Cai still had begun to let Li He exchange the money earned by Baixiangju for gold and silver storage, but Li He only exchanged more than 40,000 taels of gold and more than 150,000 taels of silver for a few months, and later, Cai was still worried that this gold and silver was not enough for him to issue military tickets, so he borrowed the gold and silver of his concubine Zhao Yuannu, and only then did he get a total of 100,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver.

100,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver add up to a total of 1,300,000.

This money looks like a lot.

But in reality, not much, at least not much relative to the issuance of a currency.

You must know that not counting the time of the war, the average annual military reputation of the officers and men of the Jinwu Army has reached 600,000 yuan, and according to the current 3,000 people, the annual military salary is 180,000 yuan, plus the wartime reward or something, at least 340,000 yuan a year.

Moreover, this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that Cai is still ready to continue to expand the army, in that case, there is no upper limit to the amount of money.

In addition, Cai is still seeking a base area, and if you add the operation of the base area, the money will be even more incalculable.

But—

Then again, as long as Cai Zhen's military ticket is issued well, these things can be solved, it's a big deal, when Cai still needs money urgently, you can overissue some.

In order to ensure that the military tickets do not depreciate significantly, Cai still has to collect more gold and silver for his position.

There is also a very key reason, if you don't accept gifts, it is easy to offend people, especially if the object is still a villain.

Thinking about this, Cai still stopped refusing, he said: "Since Lord Xu wants to make me a friend, then Lord Xu's kindness, I will not refuse...... It just so happens that my third brother also likes to make friends, and tomorrow I will write a letter to you, and you can take my letter to Mingluan Hall to meet him, and he will entertain you for me. ”

When Xu Bingzhe heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he gave Cai still a gift, in order to borrow Cai still as a pedal to reach the real power of the Cai family.

Xu Bingzhe said in his heart: "Don't look at our General Cai's age, but he is aware of everything, and he is also clear about the rules of officialdom, no wonder he can mix well!" ”

Xu Bingzhe decided to talk to Cai still in his heart, he said: "Xu has been in Tangyin for more than ten years, I don't dare to say credit, but there is always hard work, Xu should have been able to get the upper evaluation in the assessment over the years, but every time in the end, he has become a middle and lower, because I didn't understand the rules of officialdom in my early years and offended Shangguan, so I was not promoted for ten years." ”

Cai still heard this, patted Xu Bingzhe's shoulder, and said, "It won't be like this in the future, you will have a smooth official road." ”

Xu Bingzhe's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Is he giving me a promise?" ”

No, Cai still didn't continue, but walked towards the room that Xu Bingzhe arranged for him.

Seeing this, Lu Qing said to Xu Bingzhe: "My lord, General Cai has drunk too much, can I help him back to the room?" ”

Xu Bingzhe couldn't figure out what Cai Yi meant by what he said at the end for a while, so he subconsciously waved his hand at Lu Qing and motioned for Lu Qing to go.

Seeing this, Lu Qing immediately followed Cai Ying.

Xu Bingzhe only reacted at this time, he should personally send Cai Ying back to the room.

But at this time, Lu Qing had already walked to Cai Ying's side and began to whisper to Cai Ying.

Seeing this scene, Xu Bingzhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said coldly: "I can't see it, this Lu Zhisi is quite good at seizing the opportunity!" ”

After speaking, Xu Bingzhe flicked his sleeves and left.

Cai Ying and Lu Qing came to the door of the room that Xu Bingzhe had prepared for Cai Ying.

Lu Qing diligently pushed open the door for Cai.

Cai still looked at it and saw a woman sitting in the room.

Although the woman had her back to herself, her tall figure stood out too much in this era, so much so that Cai still recognized her as Wang Sanniang at once.

Cai still first glanced in the direction where Xu Bingzhe was.

Seeing that Xu Bingzhe had turned around and left, Cai still looked at Lu Qing beside him again.

Lu Qing smiled flatteringly, and then said: "The general has been busy with fighting and recruiting troops recently, so he must be tired, so let my daughter serve the general well tonight and rest well, right?" ”

A long time ago, Cai still understood a truth, that is: as long as your power position reaches the height that others want, others will definitely find ways to do what you like, if you like money, they will give you gold and silver, and if you are lustful, they will definitely find ways to send the woman you like to your bed.

Now it turns out that this truth is not wrong at all.

And whenever such a thing happens, unless it is a trap, the best solution is undoubtedly to take it with the trend, otherwise, not only will the money and women not be able to get it, but it may also offend people because of it.

Therefore, Cai still didn't ask why Wang Liang's daughter became your Lu Qing's daughter, but smiled at Lu Qing and said, "Oshiji has a heart." ”

After speaking, Cai still stepped into the room.

Lu Qing listened to the words and saw this, with a smile on his face, and then lightly closed the door for Cai Yi and Wang Sanniang......
