On Halloween's Day, Yang Shaofeng finally didn't dare to take a bucket of Jiang Shan and 300-year-old ginseng to fool Zhu Laosi, but honestly offered an 800-year-old ginseng for next year, so he didn't directly send a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Even so, Yang Shaofeng felt that he had lost a lot.

Since he became this nine-rank sesame official, he didn't even see what kind of bird he looked like, so he might as well be the fifty pro-soldiers who were paid by the Zongren Mansion, and the bad people were paid by the month.

What makes Yang Shaofeng even more angry is that everyone wants to give gifts on Zhu Laosi's birthday, but the court bosses and nobles can still eat a little back, and when it is their turn, they have to be cooks.

What do people do?

Commanding the chefs of Guanglu Temple to change the knife and prepare the dishes, Yang Shaofeng, who was in a very unhappy mood, simply moved a stool by himself and sat down.

Zhu Zhanji, who was peeling green onions, said with a gloomy face: "Now many places are reporting that it is rain and hail that hurt the crops. ”

Yang Shaofeng hummed and said, "And then?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Huang has a headache, Xia Butang suggested putting grain for relief, and then said that he wanted to get you back from the border city to see if there was any good way." ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered: "He Xia Lao picked me as an immortal? God is going to rain, can I stop it? ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Of course you can't stop it, don't say it's you bastard, even if you invite Zhang Zhenren from Longhu Mountain, you can't stop it."

However, this year, Liaozhou also rained heavily, but no one was injured, and the damage to the crops was very light, and the reserve warehouse alone was enough to deal with it. So what Xia Butang means is that the border city is almost stable anyway, so it's better to let you come back first, and then let you go back when autumn comes. ”

Yang Shaofeng picked up a green onion casually, and said with a snort: "This Xia Cai is really a talent, I have to run to the south when it's hot, and let me go back to the border city when it's cold?"

Also, who said that the border city is close to stability? When the new city is built, there are a lot of things there, and he Xia Lao can't see it?

Oh, by the way, he really can't see how this old man is patronizing how to get money into the treasury, otherwise the treasure money will not depreciate in his hands, let alone get it to the point that it is too hard to wipe his ass. ”

said that just after speaking, Yang Shaofeng, who was curious about why Zhu Zhanji suddenly got up, suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and then the stool fell to the ground, and he also fell to the ground.

Fuck anyone who dares to kick the master's stool?

Yang Shaofeng, who was furious, got up and patted his buttocks and was about to scold, but he was facing Zhu Laosi's uncertain face, as well as Xia Yuanji's gaze that was about to choose someone to eat.

Zhu Laosi snorted coldly and said: "Say, go on, I listen, I also want to know, who is still too hard to go to the toilet with treasure money!" ”

Xia Yuanji followed: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to know, what kind of person has the courage to dare to go to the toilet with the treasure money!" ”

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhu Laosi couldn't help but kick it again, and sneered: "Why didn't you say it?" Don't even understand the truth of the Mo Dao people behind it? ”

As soon as Xia Yuanji saw Zhu Laosi protecting Yang Shaofeng like this, he immediately scolded Yang Crazy a few times in his heart, and then bowed to Zhu Laosi and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame Yang Zhuangyuan, the minister is just curious, why does this treasure banknote depreciate so quickly?" Why is the recycling of treasure money mentioned above not effective? ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Yuanji bowed to Yang Shaofeng and said, "Do you still hope that the champion will not hesitate to teach?" ”

Taken aback by Xia Yuanji, Yang Shaofeng hurriedly replied: "The kid doesn't deserve such a big gift from Xia Butang, let alone the teaching, Xia Butang has tormented the kid." ”

Zhu Laosi snorted coldly and said, "Bastard, don't go and move the stool!" ”

With Zhu Laosi's words, Yang Shaofeng hurriedly got off the donkey, moved two stools to brush them, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, please sit, Xia Butang, please sit." ”

After Zhu Laosi sat down, he said directly: "Say, what's going on with this devaluation?" I couldn't tell you anything about it in the last concert, but I can talk about it today. ”

Yang Shaofeng bowed and said: "The last time I returned from the capital with His Royal Highness Taisun, His Royal Highness Taisun has treasure money in his hand but nowhere to spend it, most of the folk shops do not recognize it, even if some shops recognize, it is also ten treasure banknotes folded into one or two silver, just like Hongwu thirty years, one tael of silver can buy four stone rice, but if you buy it with treasure money, you need ten times." This is called devaluation. ”

Looking at Xia Yuanji's black face, Yang Shaofeng said in a low voice: "In the past, when the treasury was short of money, the household department would print treasure banknotes for issuance, and after these treasure banknotes were issued, the government took the treasure money to buy the goods of the people, but the people were not allowed to exchange the treasure money for silver, and the value of the treasure money naturally fell to the bottom.

There is also the money pouring method, the old banknotes are replaced by the new banknotes but the cost of changing the ink of 30 Wen is charged, and the good consistent money is missing a big fat chicken out of thin air. ”

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Why don't you say it?" In the second year of Yongle, Chen Ying, the imperial history of the capital, had suggested the salt banknote law, and the people used the treasure money to pay the salt, and the Yongle four years were to implement the integration of the Ding Na banknote and the salt, and the treasure money returned to the treasury? ”

Yang Shaofeng sighed and said, "Yes, it's really a good idea." Let the people of Jiangxi and Huguang run to the two Huai Salt Transport Division to support the salt, and let the people of Kaifeng Mansion support the salt in Shandong and Shanxi Salt Division, hundreds of thousands of miles away, Xia Butang can match the people with somersault clouds? Of course, if the somersault cloud can't work, it's okay to change it to Hot Wheels, otherwise each household is equipped with a good horse? ”

As soon as Yang Shaofeng's words fell, Zhu Laosi said with a gloomy face: "The salt money law was agreed by me, and it was tried in Guangdong in the first year of Yongle, and it was pushed to the whole country in the second year. What do you mean is that I have caused trouble to the people, and I have caused this folk private salt to overflow? ”

Yang Shaofeng lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "It was originally." ”

Zhu Laosi didn't hear what Yang Shaofeng was muttering clearly, but instinctively felt that something was wrong, and shouted: "Be louder!" ”

Yang Shaofeng bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty is sage, and the act of recovering the treasure money shows His Majesty's love for the people, but it was distorted by the following execution, so that the salt money law was not implemented clearly!" ”

Zhu Laosi didn't eat Yang Shaofeng's set, and sneered: "I see that you are a dog who is slandering me in the belly, and his heart should be punished!" ”

Xia Yuanji frowned and pondered for a long time, then stroked his beard and said: "Now that the tax grain has been allowed to be lost with treasure money, seventy percent of the tax should be used for treasure money, thirty percent of it will be used for copper money, and copper money will be used for all the following hundred articles, how can it not work?" ”

Yang Shaofeng spread his hands and said: "Song Shi once issued Jiaozi, Meng Yuan also issued Jiaozi, there are cases for reference in front, and my Daming problems stop at these, why don't Xia Butang brainstorm and let all colleagues in the household department come up with ideas?" ”

Xia Yuanji sneered and said, "Don't bother the two masters." Just now Yang Zhuangyuan said that this treasure money is rotten in the hands of someone in my Xia, so I don't have to trouble others anymore, so I expect Yang Zhuangyuan to give me a good idea! ”

Yang Shaofeng glanced at Xia Yuanji, and said helplessly: "Isn't Xia Butang embarrassed?" The matter of treasure money involves all aspects, how can a kid be a sesame petty official from the ninth grade, how can he deal with it? ”

Zhu Laosi said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "I have to give you a promotion first, and let you Yang Da Zhuangyuan be a first-class member?" ”

Yang Shaofeng said helplessly: "If we want to solve the problem of people not recognizing treasure banknotes, the first thing is to increase the credit and use of treasure banknotes.

If you want to increase the credit of treasure money, the best way is to open the exchange of treasure money and gold and silver.

And the current situation is that once it is fully liberalized, the biggest possibility is a full-scale run, and those people and merchants who want to exchange treasure money for gold and silver can empty the gold and silver of the treasury in an instant.

When the treasury is unable to continue the exchange, there will be panic among the people, and the situation will be even worse. ”

Zhu Laosi nodded and said, "It's rare that you can think of this." It's just that I want to hear how to solve it, not for you to tell me about these difficulties. ”

Yang Shaofeng's eyes rolled, and he bowed down and said, "Is it possible to recycle in batches?"

The most important issue now is how to reduce the amount of treasure money held by the people, and some of them have been recovered by the salt money law and tax discounts, and these treasure notes should not be released for circulation for the time being, and no new treasure notes should be issued.

Then, led by the Treasure Banknote Division, the treasure banknotes issued by Hongwu since the beginning of the year were recycled in batches and converted into gold, silver and copper coins.

Only by recovering these two batches, the people naturally know that the imperial court intends to recycle the treasure money, and the confidence in their hearts is naturally enough.

And the people's hearts are full of confidence in the treasure banknote, and then want to solve the problem of the depreciation of the treasure banknote, is it easy? ”

Xia Yuanji said with a dark face: "Redeem gold and silver? How many folk banknotes, do you know or not? Now that the treasury is empty enough to run mice, what can be exchanged for the people? ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered and said: "Xia Butang wants a solution, I have already said it, as for whether to use it or not, it is not my problem." ”

After thinking about it, Yang Shaofeng still couldn't hold back, pointed in the direction of the guide, bowed down and said: "There is copper, Myanmar has copper, and there is no shortage of copper in many places in my Ming Dynasty, so the problem of copper coins is actually very easy to solve."

As for the issue of gold and silver, Zheng Gonggong has been to the West several times, and has he brought back less gold and silver? ”

Now it was Zhu Laosi's turn to be unhappy: "It's really not much, it's mainly some worthless gadgets, and it's nothing." ”

Looking at Zhu Laosi, who was lying and didn't even blush, Xia Yuanji gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, how can the minister think that a little gold and silver can be compared with the treasure banknote plan?" ”

Zhu Laosi said angrily: "Recycle in batches!" This matter is led by the Treasure Money Division, and I have allocated five million taels of internal funds, so it's all right! ”

Xia Yuanji said tentatively: "The folk treasure money is nearly 100 million, five million taels, it really doesn't deserve anything."

Why don't you add a little more, Your Majesty? ”
