…

Before coming into contact with Xu Bingzhe, the county magistrate of Tangyin County, Cai still disliked this person very much.

There is no other reason, just because the name "Xu Bingzhe" is too stinky in history.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people besieged Bianliang City, and then relied on Zhao Huan's ministers to repeatedly do stupid things and lay down the outer city of Bianliang City, and then began to extort from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan, who has been frightened by the Jin people, has no backbone of a king, and in the face of the Jin people's sky-high blackmail, he took all the orders, and then desperately squeezed the people in Bianliang City to satisfy the greed of the Jin people, hoping to survive.

And one of Zhao Huan's minions is this Xu Bingzhe.

Xu Bingzhe is actually a very capable and practical expert.

For Jin Ren, it can also be said that he has done things for Zhao Huan, and Xu Bingzhe is particularly sharp.

Zhao Huan ordered Xu Bingzhe to search for women for the Jin people.

Those women were afraid that they would be captured by Zhao Huan, Xu Bingzhe and others and given to the beast-like Jin people to be harmed by the Jin people, so they all painted their faces with ashes, and even made themselves unkempt, hoping to escape this catastrophe.

But Xu Bingzhe was very conscientious in doing things for Zhao Huan, and after he led people to find these women, he not only asked someone to wash their faces and comb their hair, but also gave each of them a set of beautiful new clothes to wear, and then sent them to Jin Ren in a car.

Later, although Zhao Huan had shamelessly knelt and licked the Jin people to meet all the unreasonable demands of the Jin people, the Jin people still decided to abolish the Zhao family.

It was still Xu Bingzhe, seeing that the demise of the Zhao clan had become an irrevocable trend, and he immediately took on the heavy responsibility of dealing with the Zhao clan as the new master (at that time, the Jin people were preparing to appoint Zhang Bangchang as the emperor).

Xu Bingzhe is indeed a villain, he is really ruthless, ruthless, and unscrupulous when he deals with the old Zhao family - in order to wipe out the Zhao clan, Xu Bingzhe even created the so-called "Five Guarantees Law", that is, "Lingfang Lane Five Families for Protection", the implementation of joint and several responsibility system, who would dare to harbor the Zhao family in this case? As a result, the Zhao clan in the city had nowhere to hide, and all the in-laws related to the royal family were arrested by Xu Bingzhe and given to the Jin people without exception.

Let's put it this way, the Zhao clan of Zhao Kuangyi was wiped out by the Jin people, and Xu Bingzhe played a very key role.

In the face of such a villain, how could Cai still like it?

But after coming into contact with Xu Bingzhe, Cai still began to waver a little!

Xu Bingzhe is really powerful.

Under the leadership of Xu Bingzhe, Jin Wujun's extremely attractive recruitment briefings were sent to almost every corner of Tangyin County.

This made potential young people in Tangyin County come to enlist in the army.

In the process, Cai still realized.

Be.

Xu Bingzhe is a villain, he has no integrity at all, and even has no bottom line and no downline.

But what really caused Xu Bingzhe to be so mad was not Xu Bingzhe, but Zhao Huan, the supreme ruler of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.

It was Zhao Huan who first ordered Xu Bingzhe to loot the women of the Great Song Dynasty and sacrifice them to the Jin people, hoping to buy his own safety, and Xu Bingzhe was just acting on orders at that time, at that time, Xu Bingzhe received a lot of rewards from Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan also greatly praised Xu Bingzhe for his ability.

It was Zhao Huan who not only sold the Northern Song Dynasty, but also buried the Zhao family, and Xu Bingzhe just fell into the well to save his life.

Therefore, this Xu Bingzhe is an out-and-out villain, but he cannot deny Xu Bingzhe's ability because of this, nor can he deny that Xu Bingzhe is also a talent.

It's talent, and it should be used.

If Zhao Song's courtiers are all loyal ministers like Fu Cha and Zong Ze, then Cai is still going to fart, and he will stop being a dog for the Zhao family and endure the timidity, cowardice, mediocrity and incompetence of the Zhao family.

Therefore, with the change of concept, Cai still no longer resists associating with Xu Bingzhe.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Bingzhe invited Cai still Cai still did not shirk.

……

The best restaurant in Tangyin County - HSBC Building.

Xu Bingzhe was here to feast Cai Yi and others - in addition to Cai Yi, there were also Jiang Xingzu, the county magistrate of Yangwu County, and Zhang Wei, the transfer judge of Hebei West Road.

At this time, the march was far from being comparable to the afterlife.

In later generations, with a few planes and a bunch of trucks, it was easy to transport all the materials needed by the army to the designated location in a very short time.

At present, marching and fighting requires a large number of people to act with the army - the army is responsible for fighting, and the people help the army to transport grain and grass materials.

The people who escorted the grain and grass were usually provided by the state and county where the army was stationed.

The Jinwu Army was stationed in Yangwu County, so the more than 1,000 people who helped the Jinwu Army escort grain and grass supplies were provided by Yangwu County.

In order to facilitate management, the county ordered Zhao Kai to send Jiang Xingzu, the county leader, to manage the more than 1,000 people.

If the Jin Wu army did not expand the army in the war, then Jiang Xingzu should always be partnered with Cai Ying.

But the Jinwu army has expanded, and it is five times as much as it is expanded (the extra five hundred is Cai still expanded without authorization, not counting the quota).

As a result, the more than 1,000 people in Yangwu County were obviously not enough to escort grain and grass supplies to the two or three thousand Jinwu troops.

Later, the new commander-in-chief of the Song Jiang Righteous Army, the prefect of Hejian, who also served as the pacification envoy of Gaoyangguan Road, Huang Qianshan, discussed with Zeng Xiaoyun and others, and sent Zhang Wei, the judge of Hebei West Road, to raise people's husbands, grain, grass, and materials for the Jinwu army nearby.

Zhang Wei only arrived in Tangyin County today.

This banquet can also be regarded as Zhang Wei's reception banquet.

From the point of view of grade, among the three Cai Yi, Zhang Wei is the highest (positive seventh grade), Cai is still second (from seventh grade), and Jiang Xingzu is again (positive eighth grade).

But although Zhang Wei has the highest grade, is a civil official, and is still the protagonist today, Xu Bingzhe frequently toasted Cai Ying and patted Cai Ying's sycophants, completely ignoring Zhang Wei and Jiang Xingzu.

Seeing this, Jiang Xingzu whispered to Zhang Wei: "This Xu Zhixian likes General Cai so much, I'm afraid that if he has a daughter, he will recruit General Cai as his son-in-law." ”

Jiang Xingzu is a descendant of Jiang Cheng, a famous minister in the early Song Dynasty, the grandson of Jiang Zhiqi, the prince of Wei, and the second son of Jiang Ying of Huiyou Pavilion.

Zhang Wei is a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuan You, and it took nearly 20 years to get mixed with today's Zhengqipin, and the promotion speed has nothing to do with the word "fast".

has been mixed in officialdom for a long time, Xu Bingzhe has seen a lot of people like him, and Zhang Wei's mentality is not as bad as Jiang Xingzu, he smiled and said: "This Xu Zhixian is still very capable, I heard that his political achievements have long been enough to be promoted, but because there is no one above, he has been serving as a county magistrate in Tangyin, so his mood is understandable." ”

Zhang Wei is talking about Xu Bingzhe, in fact, he is not talking about himself - Zhang Wei is very good at financial management, and he still knows the benefits and disadvantages of Qian Gu, but it is a pity that Zhang Wei has never been appreciated, and there is no chance of promotion, and he finally worked in the position of transfer judge for eight years.

Jiang Xingzu saw that he couldn't get Zhang Wei's resonance, so he didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Wei anymore.

At this time, Cai still just drank a glass of wine with Xu Bingzhe and put down the wine glass.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Zhang Wei and Jiang Xingzu was a little awkward, Cai still poured himself a glass of wine, and then turned his head to salute Zhang Wei.

Zhang Yu hurriedly got up and had a drink with Cai Yan.

Putting down the wine glass, Cai still took the initiative to say: "I heard that Zhang Yunju is good at managing money, and Jiang Xiancheng and I happen to have something here that I want to ask Zhang Yunju for advice." ”

Zhang Wei asked, "Oh? What's the matter? ”

When Jiang Xingzu heard this, he immediately understood what Cai still meant, he took out a small pile of colorful pieces of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Wei, and said, "Zhang Yunju, please take a look." ”

Zhang Wei took these pieces of paper with a little puzzlement, and then asked while looking at them carefully: "What are these?" ”

Cai still replied: "This is my military ticket for the Jinwu Army." ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he said, "Military tickets? Money induced? ”

Cai still said: "Almost, but the money is issued by the imperial court, and the denomination is large (one ta, that is, the same one), this military ticket is issued by me personally, the minimum denomination is one cent, about equivalent to a copper coin, and two cents, five cents, one cent, two cents, five cents, one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, a total of ten kinds, one yuan is equal to ten cents is equal to one hundred cents." ”

After a pause, Cai still explained in detail: "Not long ago, didn't my Jinwu army win a battle, and the imperial court rewarded a lot of money and silk, imperial wine, brocade clothes, and jade belts, those things were piled together, like a small mountain, there was no way to carry them, and I didn't bring them, and I was afraid that the soldiers would not want to fight with those things, I wanted to exchange it with the imperial court, but because the distance was too far to be replaced, and the denomination of the money was large, it was very inconvenient to use, so I discussed with Jiang Xiancheng and printed military tickets instead of rewards and sent them to the soldiers. At the same time, he ordered 50 Jinwu soldiers and 200 people to send all those rewards back to the rear for proper settlement. ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, he said secretly: "General Cai has such a high prestige in the Jinwu army, he even said that if he exchanged the rewarded things for military tickets, he would exchange the rewarded things for military tickets, and those soldiers did not doubt that he would take those rewards for himself. ”

Cai still knew that Zhang Wei had misunderstood as soon as he saw Zhang Wei's appearance, and he said: "Although the soldiers are willing to believe me, I still use the 100,000 gold and silver I brought to pay, and forcibly stipulate that one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver and one hundred yuan of military tickets." ”

Zhang Wei quickly grasped the key point and asked: "Military tickets are not equal to (copper/iron) money and money leads?" ”

Cai still replied with certainty: "It is only equal to gold and silver." ”

In fact, the first thing Cai still wanted to implement was actually the gold standard, followed by the silver standard.

But Cai still doesn't have enough gold and silver.

In fact, not to mention Cai Ying, the Great Song Dynasty, including Liao, Jin, and Western Xia, did not have much gold and silver.

In this case, it is difficult to promote the gold standard or the silver standard on a large scale.

Therefore, Cai can only choose the gold and silver double standard, which is not too stable, and gradually transition to the gold standard or silver standard in the future according to the situation.

But then again, even though the gold and silver double standard has problems such as relative instability and chaos, it also has advantages - because it is a double standard, its source of monetary materials can be both silver and gold, and the source is sufficient; When you need to make large transactions, you can use gold, and when you need to trade small amounts, you can use silver, which is flexible and convenient; The two coins can complement each other; It is more convenient to stabilize the exchange rate with other currencies, and it is possible to trade gold coins with regions where gold is the main currency, and silver coins with regions where silver is the main currency.

After getting Cai Zhen's affirmative reply, Zhang Yi glanced at Cai still without a trace, and he said in his heart: "This General Cai is so ambitious!" If he really did it for convenience, there was no need to use his own gold and silver to issue his military tickets and take this risk, and he did not use unstable money and money to lead the standard, but took great pains to use the gold and silver standard that was difficult to collect but more stable, is this to lay the foundation for vigorously issuing military tickets in the future, or does he want to use military tickets to firmly grasp the Jinwu army? ”
