Chapter 1299: The Bomb Lands
Su Yan was ordered to report on his work and explain the situation of Hangzhou City to the monarchs and ministers of the court.
He then followed him to the court.
“…… The earnings of the market company will be higher this year. ”
The income of the merchant fleet was counted in the three years of peace, so Su Yan was full of confidence.
"Not only does the city not produce copper coins, but the merchants will also trade copper coins."
That's a big achievement.
"The copper money of the Great Song Dynasty is not enough, and countless people have been running around to find copper mines for many years, but it is a drop in the bucket, and I have nothing to do."
Zhao Shu talked about copper coins, and looked at Shen An with more relief in his eyes, "Later, the court issued paper money, although it was not much, but it was accumulated every year, but it alleviated the dilemma of lack of money." ”
Shen An's contribution to this matter is not small.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu forgave Shen An for his impulsiveness last night.
The so-called impulse is just a cover-up.
Shen An wanted to pick on the idea, and he more or less guessed it.
And using murder to express one's stance, this is also a strange one.
The monarch and the minister use shamelessness to break the game, which is relatively more bizarre.
Strange things are solved, but Zhao Shu is not without mustard.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to clean up Shen An in the future, but as soon as the merchant fleet arrived, he remembered Shen An's many benefits, so this matter was over.
He glanced at Shen An and nodded slightly, "Now that the city has tightened its mouth, the merchants can't exchange the copper coins...... Han Qing, is there still a shortage of money over there in the third division this year? ”
The shortage of money in the Great Song Dynasty is an old problem, and Han Jiang also suffers from it.
"Your Majesty, there are not many copper mines in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to smelt, so the copper coins have not been enough." Han Jiang looked a little entangled, "The banknotes issued every year now are of great help, but they are still not enough, and they are even getting worse......
"Why is that?"
Zhao Shu said puzzledly: "It stands to reason that the mouth is blocked, and the paper money is issued, the money shortage should be alleviated, why is it intensifying?" ”
Han Jiang was a little dazed, "I don't know." ”
He was a little ashamed, and felt that it was really a shame that as the third envoy didn't know about this situation!
Moreover, there are many courtiers present today, and a few of them have been coveting the position of the third envoy, and have already stabbed him a few times in secret.
Zhao Shu said with some dissatisfaction: "You don't know, he doesn't know, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, who knows?" ”
The official family was angry.
But it's normal to think about it, none of the Manchu officials know this, who else can he count on?
He thought of Shen An.
The issuance of banknotes is something that Shen An insists on, and his careful planning has not caused problems with the issuance of banknotes.
This is a good courtier!
At this moment, Zhao Shu forgot the annoyance of the monarch and the minister being persecuted by Shen An, and was about to ask questions, when Lu Zhi came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there is a certain amount of wealth in this world......
!
Isn't this Sima Guang's argument?
Sima Guang thinks that there is so much wealth in the world, and there is so much for you to toss around. Since there are so many, what are we going to toss? Let's squat and live.
But Sima Guang was blinded by Shen An's theory last time, so it stands to reason that he should give up this inexplicable theory, right?
Shen An glanced at Sima Guang, and the man was still as gentlemanly as Mu Ran.
"Where does the wealth of the world come from?"
Shen An asked when he came out of class.
When Lu Yu saw him come out, he sneered: "There is so much wealth in the world, not in the government, but in the people." When there are more government offices, there are fewer people......"
"Ignorance!"
Lu Xu, who was proud, was startled by this severance, and frowned: "What do you know?" Old man ......"
"What do you know?" Shen An asked, "Where were you when you were making banknotes?" Where were you when you made the dew? Where were you when you became the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty? What do you know? Well? ”
This one......
Shen An can crush you by playing with money.
"Ridiculous!" Lu Xu's hat buckle Dafa is here again, "Ignorant child, the old man has experienced countless more ups and downs than you back then, just an ignorant child like you, you will only bewitch the official family, and finally leave a stench for 10,000 years!" ”
This is his attack move, and everyone is familiar with it.
But Shen An didn't care about this at all, he said: "Do you know the income since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Lu Xukou is a master, but he is at a loss in practice, so he just sneers.
"You don't know!" Shen An said contemptuously: "At the beginning of the dynasty, the annual income was more than 16 million yuan. During the Tianxi years, the annual income was more than 26.5 million...... During the Jiayou period, the annual income was more than 3,680,000 yuan...... Needless to say, these days. This income is gradually increasing, what is the certainty? By the way, you will definitely say that there are more government officials, and there are fewer people. You can go to the people and see how the people live today...... How is it compared to the beginning of the country! ”
Lu Zhi didn't expect him to remember it so clearly, and he was speechless for a while.
Shen An took advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked: "The income of the city is increasing every year, what is the fixed number?" A pile of soil is worthless, but someone burned it into porcelain, and it was worth a hundred times in an instant...... What's the certainty? ”
Lu Zhi saw sweat on his forehead.
"The housing prices in this Bianliang City are higher than a year a year, what is the certainty?"
"Got it?" Shen An asked.
Lu Yu subconsciously wanted to nod, but was silent.
After nodding, Shen An must have a lot of questions thrown over in the future, and he couldn't answer them when the time came, that is, he didn't know how to pretend to understand.
I can't lose this face!
He was very melancholy.
But Shen An said disdainfully: "I don't understand this, I don't understand that, dare to ask Lu Zhiza, what do you know?" Do you know how to give people hats? What traitor, what courtier...... If you don't understand, just shut up, okay? ”
This is a great humiliation.
Lu Zhi was furious and just wanted to spray, but Shen An had already turned around and walked over, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since the development of the Great Song Dynasty, money shortage is inevitable. ”
"Oh, tell me."
Lu Xu's face was red and trembling, this is angry, right?
Zhao Shu didn't care about it when he saw it, which made him want to go crazy even more.
But everyone is ready to listen to Shen An's analysis of the reasons for Da Song's money shortage at this moment, and no one cares about him.
Even Sima Guang was looking at Shen An.
"The income of the Great Song Dynasty is growing every year, and all walks of life are growing. What do they need when they grow? Money! ”
"There are more and more businessmen, and the business is getting bigger and bigger...... There is a great demand for money coming and going. ”
The money shortage once became a topic in later generations, and Shen An had heard of it a little, only about it, but it was enough to crush a cadre of monarchs and ministers today.
"Originally, the outflow of copper coins from the Great Song Dynasty was a loophole, and now it has been filled."
"The Great Song Dynasty is minting coins every year, and paper money is being issued every year, but compared with the vigorous development of all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty, it is far from enough! As a result, there will be a shortage of money in all walks of life...... Lack of money is terrible. ”
Shen An finally said: "Actually, the money shortage in the Great Song Dynasty is not a problem. ”
Zhao Shuzheng listened attentively, and when he saw that he suddenly stopped talking, he frowned and said, "Can you solve it?" ”
"Yes."
Shen An said very confidently: "In the minister's opinion, the money shortage in the Great Song Dynasty is caused by several aspects, first, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have the habit of saving money, whether they are wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, they like to keep it at home if they have money...... Chen dared to say that if these copper coins were to be brought out, the problem of money shortage would be alleviated immediately. ”
"How do you get it out?" Lu Yu sneered: "Those people's money was earned by hard work, do you want to rob it?" ”
In his opinion, that money is private, even Zhao Shu can't take it, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
This is the consensus of everyone at this moment, so everyone nods.
How do you get it?
Zhao Shu looked at Shen An expectantly, he knew the harm of the money shortage, but he didn't know the solution.
If another courtier said this today, he would listen to it, and then slowly analyze and ponder it.
But Shen An has his own unique views on finance, not only suggesting banknotes, but he is the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, which shows his means of making money.
Such a person says that he has a way to deal with the money shortage, so how can he not pay attention to it!
Shen An smiled and said, "First, the minister suggested getting a money bank. ”
"What is a bank?" Han Qi was puzzled.
"A bank is a place where you can deposit money, anyone can put money in a bank, and you can withdraw it at any time."
"No one will save money in it, you are delusional!" Lu Zhi said contemptuously: "I thought you would come up with some good way, but who knew that it would be a castle in the air, Your Majesty, this kind of demagogy must not be listened to!" ”
Lu Xu's eyes were red, and he looked impassioned.
If people who don't know the situation see this scene, they will definitely say that Shen An is a traitor, and he, Lu Xu, is a loyal minister.
Traitors and loyal ministers are actually just a matter of a pen in many cases.
In the vast history, countless people have been determined by a few lines of ink characters to make a lifetime of merit and demerit, but who knows whether it is correct or not?
The predecessors said that the merits of the predecessors also depended on the situation!
History is written by the victors, and those who are victors ...... For example, those who opposed the New Deal later, they were the victors. Is Wang Anshi, Wang Yan and others in their pen really like that?
Zhao Shu looked at Shen An and carefully recalled the young man's past.
It seems to be unscored, and it seems to be rash.
But it can always be done!
What does this mean?
It shows that Shen An is either a lucky general or has real skills.
How does such a person compare with Lu Xu?
Zhao Shu glanced at Lu Zhi and felt that this famous face was a little hateful, so he said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?" ”
Shen An said: "If the minister wants to get money, no matter who deposits money in, he can have interest......
it!
Lu Xu's body shook a little, "Interest? Why is interest payed? ”
Saving? Inexistent.
It is safest to bury it in your own home.
So everyone thinks Shen An is dreaming.
But when he threw out the benefits of saving money for interest, it was like throwing a bomb and blowing up the court.
"Interest?" Han Qi stroked his beard and said: "The old man has been a prime minister for many years, the first emperor and the official family are generous, but the old man's family has a lot of money. Although there is a lot of money at home, it is not much. If there is an income, the old man will be the first to deposit the money. ”
"But if you give interest, what does the money rely on to make money?" Zeng Gongliang said with some confusion: "Shen Anbei naturally won't do it at a loss, but how do you want to make money?" Hiss ......"
He suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Shen An and exclaimed, "You want to lend?" ”
Bomb landing!
Rumble!
The monarch was stunned.
