Zhu Laosi's face turned blue and red for a while, and after a long time, he exhaled, stretched out a finger and gestured: "I will add another five million taels, and make up ten million taels." ”

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Xia Yuanji sincerely thanked Zhu Laosi this time, and no one's life was easy, the treasury was empty and the mice could run away, and the expenditure of the internal money was not small, and it was already an unexpected joy to be able to get out this 10 million taels.

After thanking Zhu Laosi, Xia Yuanji turned his eyes to Yang Shaofeng again, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What else does Zhuang Yuangong have ideas, can we all say it together?" ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head, pointed to a bunch of vegetables and pots and spoons in the kitchen and said: "There is nothing to say, Your Majesty asked the minister to cook, and the minister cooked honestly...... The old and dignified hall officials will preside. ”

Xia Yuanji sneered: "Old traitor? Old and not dead? Anyway, you Yang Zhuangyuan has never had any good words in his mouth, and the main hall is not as knowledgeable as you. However, on the side of the border city, the main hall has allocated 100,000 taels of silver to you, and now you say this, isn't it chilling? ”

Xia Yuanji didn't mention the 100,000 taels of silver, but as soon as he mentioned the 100,000 taels of silver transferred to the border city, Yang Shaofeng suddenly jumped to his feet and scolded: "Xia Laojiao!" 100,000 taels? It's a shame for you to say that Ben Tiju didn't have the face to tell people that in order to support the construction of the border city, my Ming Dynasty's Hubu Shangshu specially allocated 100,000 taels of silver! Ahh ”

was called Xia Lao in person, Xia Yuanji's face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he said with a gloomy face: "If you don't give the old man an explanation today, the old man will be involved in your Yang madness and the crime of disrespecting the official!" ”

Turning his head to look at Zhu Laosi, seeing that Zhu Laosi looked like he was waiting to see a good show, Yang Shaofeng sneered and said, "One hundred thousand taels? These coins are given to the common people, even if it is a family of five, it is estimated that it is enough to eat for several lifetimes, which is indeed a lot.

But what did these 100,000 or 20,000 deserve for the construction of a huge city? Not even enough for the materials, not to mention the other messy expenses? People don't need to eat? People don't want to be paid? You Xia Lao didn't get me a few hundred thousand servitudes! ”

After spraying Xia Lao and picking a few words, Yang Shaofeng simply looked at Zhu Laosi pitifully and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is in the border city, and the labor is carried by the Tatars and Warats who are flickering, and the bricks, stones, cement and other things needed are also made by the minister himself to build a kiln and burn them, if it weren't for the minister who resells things like cement, masonry and coal while building the city, the 100,000 taels of silver he Xia Lao gave would have been empty long ago!" Your Majesty! You have to call the shots! ”

Xia Yuanji said with an old red face: "One hundred thousand taels is a lot, and the national air is so empty that it can run mice." Besides, there is not much real money and silver collected by the treasury, most of them are still those treasure money, according to you, the toilet is still too hard, or I will give you 100,000 yuan? ”

Yang Shaofeng snorted, opened his mouth and scolded: "You should go to Yangzhou!" Also 100,000! Phew! ”

Zhu Laosi lowered his face and reprimanded: "How can you talk to Xia Butang!" Bastard thing, relying on your own small nonsense, I think you owe a beating! ”

Yang Shaofeng lowered his head and didn't speak, but Xia Yuanji felt that he was sitting on wax, and the emperor said that Yang Shaofeng was young, so he could still worry about a child?

But if this child is placed in the people, he is already at the age of being a father, okay!

Obviously, he was wronged, and now he has to do it for the round field surnamed Yang, and after secretly scolding in his heart that pigs and sheep are not things, Xia Yuanji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Yang Zhuangyuan is young and vigorous after all, how can the minister worry about him." ”

Yang Shaofeng saw that Xia Yuanji had not forgotten to squeeze himself at this time, and immediately sneered: "Don't you be angry, are you still called a young man." ”

Choked Xia Yuanji, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Let the people pay seventy percent of the taxes with the treasure endowment, and then recover a few batches of treasure banknotes, which is nothing more than to enhance the people's confidence in the treasure banknotes, and at the same time reduce the amount of treasure banknotes held by the people, but Xia Butang thinks that this can really make the treasure money circulate?"

If the banknote can't be circulated, what's the difference between it and paper? On the contrary, due to the decrease in the number of treasure money, the shortage of gold and silver in the market will be caused, and the purchasing power of silver and copper plates will further rise, and then form a money shortage. ”

was said by Yang Shaofeng, Xia Yuanji couldn't care about any unhappy mood or anything like that, even Yang Shaofeng's run on himself just now was put aside, what is it to run a few words, it can solve the problem of empty treasury running mice, then Yang Zhuangyuan is a material that can be made~

Hehe laughed, Xia Yuanji arched his hand towards Yang Shaofeng and said, "I hope that the champion will give him advice!" ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed before he spoke: "In the final analysis, it still lies in the credit of the treasure banknote, and the perfume I tossed out is prepared for this." ”

Xia Yuanji didn't open his mouth to mock, he just wanted to listen to what kind of Yang could say behind Yang Madness, if this thing wasn't made out to make money like the gods drunk, it was probably to please women, and it had a fart relationship with Bao Yuan!

Yang Shaofeng paced back and forth a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "For example, the salt banknote method just mentioned, if the salt transportation department transports the salt to various places and then lets the people buy it with treasure money, then the people naturally like treasure money, of course, they just like it."

Because the biggest problem now is that the treasure money is basically useless except for taxes and salt, and once it is surplus, it basically cannot be spent.

However, with perfume and fairy drunkenness, this situation may change a little.

For example, fairy drunken and perfume are allowed to buy treasure money, so there will be many people who come to buy fairy drunk and perfume with treasure money. If the Drunken Immortal Building allows the settlement of the bill with treasure money in a ratio of one to one, then there will be another way to use treasure money. Of course, the household department has to recycle these treasure money in a one-to-one ratio, otherwise this thing will all become my family, and it will be useless for me to take it.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to find a place where the treasure money can be used, so that it can play its due role, and not just be used to pay taxes and buy salt.

In addition, the most important thing is to issue as much gold and silver as you can do, at least not more than half of the gold and silver, and slowly relax the restrictions that allow the people to exchange, so as to enhance the confidence of the people, so that the treasure money really has the value of money. ”

Without waiting for Xia Yuanji to speak, Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "It's all over?" ”

Yang Shaofeng blinked, bowed down and said, "Yes, it's all over." ”

With a sneer, Zhu Laosi pointed to the dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen and shouted, "Why don't you go to cook after you finish speaking, do you plan to make me hungry?" ”

After a few more reprimands, Zhu Laosi took Xia Yuanji and left directly, leaving Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji there with big eyes.

After pondering for a long time and not coming up with a reason, Yang Shaofeng simply set his eyes on Zhu Zhanji: "What do you mean by Your Majesty?" ”

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "You said that it was useless for you to turn this thing into your home, so what's the use of you asking the household department to recycle it?"

Give back the treasure money to find a use that can be used, if the people approve of the treasure bank, then why do you use this nonsense here? ”

Yang Shaofeng blinked and said, "Then apart from what I said, what else do you have to do?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "No! That's why the imperial grandfather took Xia Butang away, otherwise would he stay and listen to you squeeze Xia Butang? ”

Shaking his head, Yang Shaofeng had no choice but to walk to the stove.

This emperor surnamed Zhu doesn't have a good person!

……

Until he returned to the main hall, Xia Yuanji seemed a little distracted.

Yang Shaofeng is right, all problems are just one in the final analysis, the people don't believe in treasure money, treasure money has no way to spend, these two problems are not solved, and the remaining solutions are.

Otherwise, the salt banknote law alone has recovered a lot of treasure money, and a lot of it has been recovered through taxation and other means, but the credit and use of treasure money among the people has not improved, which is already very telling.

After sighing, Xia Yuanji spoke: "Yang Zhuangyuan is indeed talented, if it weren't for his small heart and unforgiving mouth, he could really be called a talent of Zaifu." ”

Zhu Laosi sighed and said: "That bastard has always been like this, Zhan Ji mixed with him, and I don't know how much he was wronged. ”

Xia Yuanji bowed and said: "However, the minister thinks that the method Yang Zhuangyuan said is also a method, but in addition to the salt money method, the minister really can't think of anything else that must be used for treasure money." ”

Zhu Laosi shook his head and said: "The meaning of that bastard is very clear, take the opportunity to recycle the treasure money, first reduce the treasure money on the market, and then find a few ways to spend the treasure money, then most of the problem has been solved."

Don't worry, since this bastard thing has been proposed, then the perfume and slime and other things he tossed will inevitably allow the people to buy them with treasure money. ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Laosi mention perfume, Xia Yuanji suddenly felt a little heartache, and bowed down and said: "If the treasury really pays for it, and collects the treasure money in Yang Zhuangyuan's hand one by one, the silver in the treasury can't afford it." This treasury ......"

"The treasury is empty enough to run mice, isn't it?"

After scolding Xia Yuanji, Zhu Laosi said with a gloomy face: "In the future, all those who are unique to my Ming Dynasty, those envoys and the like who want to buy, are only allowed to trade in treasure money, and violators will be severely punished, isn't there a few more ways."

As for the treasury, it should indeed be like what the bastard said, living within his means, issuing as many treasure money as he wants, and no longer printing as much as he wants, so that the people's treasure money will fly all over the sky, so that it will lose the support of the people. ”
