Chapter 156 Strange Folds Expand the World's Wealth

Funing Palace, Imperial Couch.

A snow-white arm stretched out from the brocade quilt, drew a circle in the air, and then retracted into the brocade quilt.

Then there was a lazy moan, and the voice was extremely gentle, which made people's blood tremble. The sound alarmed another person on the couch, who opened his eyes and first glanced at the jade arm on his chest before coming back to his senses.

The sun shone directly on the couch through the curtain, and the man moved slightly, then sat up. His movements woke the woman beside him, who muttered, hugged his bare legs tightly, rubbed her face between his, and let out a murmuring grumble.

"From now on, the king will not come to court soon......"

Zhao Youju leaned on the pillow, looked at Yang Miaozhen, who was lying beside him, and squinted at the sun. At this time, the sun does not rise early, and it has reached this point, and it must have been past eight o'clock. Although today is not the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, there is also an early dynasty, and those ministers will inevitably nag again.

Yang Miaozhen was extremely dishonest when he slept, his arms and feet liked to rest on him, and he was rubbed everywhere between being half asleep and half awake. Zhao Youju only felt that the flames were soaring, and couldn't help but hug her tightly, Yang Miaozhen was awakened by his movements, noticed his strange appearance, and laughed when he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an internal bell shouting outside: "Your Majesty, Xuan Shen Zheng and other requests to see!" ”

"Huh?"

Although Xuan Xuan is not the prime minister, as a political adviser, when there is no left and right ministers, his position among the ministers is the most important, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward to ask for a meeting. Zhao and Ju pursed their lips, yesterday in order to meet with Yang Miao, Wei Liaoweng and others asked to see him and were refuted by him, it seems that today is impossible to hide.

These ministers were at a loss in the face of Shi Miyuan, but they had a way to deal with him.

Sighing slightly, Zhao Heju stroked the plump part of Yang Miaozhen's body, and said lightly: "You also get up, and after freshening up, you will go to the Queen Mother to say hello, just like going to your mother when you were in our Zhuangzi." ”

"This Emperor of Raushzi is so hard." Yang Miaozhen also snorted dissatisfiedly, got up from the bed, the brocade quilt slid down from her smooth skin, and before Zhao Youju looked at the vital point, she hurriedly grabbed it and wrapped her body tightly: "Go, go, I heard that the people who frolicked in the harem all day long are not good emperors, don't let people say it." ”

Zhao Heju couldn't help but smile when she said this: "Whether you are a good emperor or not, it doesn't hinder anything in the harem, if it weren't for the arrogance and lasciviousness of the Son of Heaven, how could the beauties of the harem take advantage of the void?" ”

There were already palace maids waiting for him to get up and dress, and when he saw that there were outsiders, Yang Miaozhen shrank himself up. Zhao Youju is used to it now, even if he faces these palace maids naked, he can not change his face. There was once a palace maid who scratched her head and gestured when she was serving him and dressing, but he was immediately kicked out.

"I'm going to meet those ministers, you can rest for a while, and someone will bring you something to eat." Zhao Youju moved his limbs, felt refreshed, and then walked out quickly.

"You go out too, I'll do it myself!" Yang Miaozhen saw that the palace maids were still waiting, so she drove them all out, and soon, those palace maids all left, and she was the only one in the hall, she snorted and got up: "I'm still shocking!" ”

Zhao and Ju left the dormitory and went directly to Boya Building, which was the Royal Book Building, where a large number of books were stored, and then instructed the imperial kitchen to send bowls of porridge up, and then asked people to call Xuan Xuan and others. When Xuan Xuan and the others saw him, he was still sipping porridge, and Xuan Xuan and the others were about to salute, he waved his hand and said: "Be casual here, Zhu Qing came just in time, there is something that needs to be discussed with Zhu Qing." ”

These ministers came in a rage, originally looking for trouble, but before they could speak, the chamberlain handed over the pamphlets that had been prepared to the people. They had to hold it for the time being, read the booklet in their hands first, and then prepare to reason with the Son of Heaven.

""The edict is dedicated to the bank folding"?"

When the ministers saw this title, they were all stunned, they were all very unfamiliar with what this "bank" was, but they had heard of "gold shop" and "silver shop", but they had never heard of "bank".

Open the booklet and see, sure enough, the beginning is to introduce the bank, this bank is similar to the Great Song Dynasty Bank, but there are differences, first of all, the bank is governmental, in fact, there are branches in the Song Dynasty state capitals, and then the functions are far more than the money village. At first glance, everyone didn't think so, but after a closer look, especially when it comes to the effect of banks in stabilizing the currency, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder Concubine Xian entered the palace yesterday and released a large number of gold, silver and copper ingots with such fanfare! Yesterday, everyone only thought that it was to stabilize the coin, but now it seems that stabilizing the currency is only one of the purposes, and the most important thing is to pave the way for this "bank"!

"Official, this booklet ......" Xuanxuan's heart moved, I don't know which minister wrote this booklet, as the head of the ministers, but he didn't know it, which made him a little disappointed.

"This was written by Yelu Jinqing, and I heard him say that he asked the bank to level the price of money, which is beneficial to the people's livelihood and society, so I paid attention to it." Zhao Youju smiled, but did not say that the bank can also bring a lot of benefits to the government.

"The minister thinks...... The method of bank lending is similar to that of Wang Anshi Qingmiao, and the minister is afraid that it will ...... Don't talk about competing with the people for profit, I'm afraid that the ministers will be like the Qingmiao Law, and they will be taken advantage of by the treacherous! Xue Ji even tactfully expressed his objection. Zhao Youju glanced at him with a smile, and Xue Ji shivered, feeling that his intentions had been seen through by the Son of Heaven.

Some of his relatives were usurious for profit, so he was very opposed to the bank's lending.

Among the ministers here, Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng are relatively public-minded, and the rest of the people, even including Zheng Qingzhi, who used to be the master of the Son of Heaven, have more or less usury in the family and are somewhat implicated.

After all the ministers expressed their opposition, Zhao Heju said lightly: "This bank lends money, but it is not for the poor people. ”

The ministers were dumbfounded for a while, although the words of the Son of Heaven faintly had the intention of seeing through everyone's true understanding and intentions, none of them were red-faced.

Zhao Heju said again: "I think about it, the poor people have no permanent property, even if they have one or two acres of thin land, I can't bear to take them out as a loan. This bank lends money to people with permanent property, and what it wants is not a small amount of money, but at least tens of thousands of dollars. If the bank lends him a loan at this moment, he will repay the loan after he makes a profit, so that the bank has both income, and the businessman can also make a profit, and he does not have to watch the business opportunity slip away from him. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said to Wei Liaoweng: "Wei Qing, I have checked the treasury, it is indeed empty, it is difficult for you, I will never give more to the edict, I must always open source, find some ways to make money for the king, we monarchs and ministers, talk about a blockage here seriously, people in later generations read history, I don't know if it will be said that our monarchs and ministers have fallen into the eyes of money." ”

Listening to him say that he was full of helplessness, as if he was really forced to come up with a way to run this bank, all the ministers were ashamed. The words that were originally attacking swirled in his mouth again, and he did not say them for the time being.

"I also know that there is indeed an inconvenience for the imperial court to run this bank, and it has been spread out, and from me to Zhuqing, everyone will inevitably be scolded. So, I have a compromise idea. Zhao Heju saw that everyone didn't speak, so he took the hot railway: "That Liuqiu Bank is used to doing it, there are both manpower and financial resources, it is better to hand over our Great Song Bank to them, how much copper money must be paid to the imperial court every year, just like the imperial court will hand over the iron to the merchants, what do you think?" ”

The ministers who were originally sad immediately frowned, this is indeed a good law, the court has not issued a penny, you can ask the bank to get an income, this flow of the bank is almost the dowry of the virtuous concubine, I think the Son of Heaven is in love with the princess's private money, but it is not easy to know, and change the way to pay the princess's private money to subsidize the state.

Xue Ji was more sensitive to interests, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Official, if the rest of the family also wants to open this bank, what should we do?" ”

"I think that let's let the bank try it for some time first, if it succeeds, it might as well be postponed, and if it fails, it is better to stop it as soon as possible." Zhao and Ju's response was much more than the ministers expected.

When this official was in the palace, he gave the ministers the impression that he was calm and clumsy, not like a shrewd person. But when Shi Miyuan and his gang were wiped out, they seemed decisive and deep and their means were exquisite, these days were pro-government, and the edict of the country that stabilized the overall situation was issued, and the ministers felt that the Son of Heaven was radical and strong, but just now this trial said, but it returned to that calm. After turning around, the ministers still felt that this son of heaven was really incomprehensible, not at all like his current age.

"Wei Qing." Zhao and Ju said again.

"The minister is here."

"The president of the bank, surnamed Chen Zicheng, is very familiar with the operation of this bank, I will ask him to visit the Qing family, and the Qing will discuss with him, make a charter, and ask him to pay how much money he wants to pay every year, you must also know in your heart, first, you must not make the treasury suffer, and second, you must not exhaust the fish, so that he feels profitable. The money obtained by the bank shall be put into the treasury of your household, and I will not take a penny. ”

If it is made according to the Great Song Dynasty tea, iron, and salt, in addition to going to the treasury, a large half of the money obtained will go to the private treasury of the Son of Heaven. Hearing the emperor's promise, the bank income of the Son of Heaven did not take a penny, Wei Liaoweng's heart was happy again, and he couldn't help but praise: "The official family is Shengming!" ”

Zhao Youju smiled secretly, if the bank makes money, isn't it his own money, why do you need to peel some back into the treasury.

"There is just one thing, Xuanqing, Wei Qing, you all have to contribute, and you can't pass the buck to each other in this matter." Zhao Heju didn't wait for them to come back to their senses, and continued: "Liuqiu Bank, at the beginning, it was only opened in six places: Lin'an, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Jiangzhou, and Jinling. ”

This was supposed to be, and there were not many places to try it, so the ministers had the mentality of trying it out and did not vehemently oppose it. It's just that Zhen Dexiu said at this time: "Official, if this bank is a traitor, how should it be handled?" ”

"It's a matter of public discretion." Zhao Youju smiled faintly and said, "Is Zhenqing afraid that I will connive at his lawlessness?" ”

Zhen Dexiu grimaced, acquiescing to Zhao Youju's speculation, Zhao and Ju are not as knowledgeable as him, in his opinion, this Manchu Dynasty minister is likely to be lawless, but Liuqiu immigrants who have stayed in the harsh place for several years are extremely unlikely to be lawless.

Needless to say, Lin'an is the bank in the six cities where Liuqiu Bank was opened, Quanzhou and Guangzhou are full of maritime merchants, and a few years ago, Liuqiu began to lend money to maritime merchants here. Chengdu is the center of Shu and the southwest trade center, and Jinling can radiate the two Huai, and then affect Zhao and Ju's plans in Xuzhou, Jiangzhou is because Yongfeng and Yongping are here, and most of the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are minted in nearby Poyang, and the wealth provided by the Liangjiang Road is considered to be the top among the roads of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Regarding the bank, if there is still something to understand, let Chen Zicheng and Yelu Chucai explain it to Zhongqing, I also know a little about it, and I happen to be with Qing and other classmates. Zi said, there must be my teacher in the threesome, and it is exactly what he wants. ”

In the end, Zhao Youju said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter, please forgive me."

Zhao and Ju originally thought that throwing out such a complicated booklet as "bank" and them was enough to make these important ministers of the court and the central government in a mess, but unexpectedly, the rest of the people were thinking about how the bank should be implemented and how to be the most beneficial to themselves, but Zhen Dexiu refused to let him go, but came out and played: "Today was originally the time of the four visits of the Chang Dynasty, and the ministers and others have been waiting outside the palace since six o'clock, but Your Majesty has not come out for a long time. It must be known that born in sorrow and died in peace, Yu has the world with calloused hands and feet, and loses its country ...... the wine pond and meat forest."

"I know it's wrong...... Zhao Heju only smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said: "There is a wedding and funeral in Zhuqing's family, and you can still take leave, but I don't have a day off, Zhenqing, I know that I am wrong, and there will be no next time, how about it?" ”

Zhen Dexiu still wanted to speak, Zhao Youju waved his hand, and his face turned cold: "Zhong Ni said, don't worry about yourself." ”

Seeing that the ministers' attention was turning to this matter, Zhao Heju said again: "There is another thing, I once said that I would choose famous doctors in various state capitals to teach medical skills, and now that I think about it, I am still a little hasty. ”

Hearing that Zhao and Ju wanted to repent, the promise he made in the edict of the country was shocked, and the Son of Heaven said that the order must not be changed overnight, otherwise it will lose the hearts of the subjects. Xuan Xuan bowed down first and said: "Official, this matter cannot be changed, Your Majesty's country is an edict, like the weight of Mount Tai, if the order is changed, how can Your Majesty serve the public?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Xue Ji also said.

Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows: "Let's listen to me!" ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, the ministers were finally dumbfounded and listened to him intently. Zhao Heju glanced at everyone, and then said: "The ancients were not good looking, they were good doctors, and they were all required to read and hyphenation. I have heard the words of people that there are many teachers in the township who are vulgar and uneducated, and some people even pronounce "depressed and literary" as "all of them are equal to me". ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven talk about this, all the ministers laughed.

"I think that if there are such people who go to study medicine, they will definitely lose people's lives, so I deliberately let these children who study medicine learn literacy and arithmetic before studying medicine, and can be literate before they can read prescriptions, can do arithmetic, and can dispense medicine, what do you think?"

In their opinion, this is just a trivial matter that reflects the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, but it is not a major military event.

Note 1: Historically, it was originally Liang Chengda who frantically attacked Zhen Dexiu under the command of Shi Miyuan, and after Zhen Dexiu was degraded again and again, he refused to let go, and still chattered in front of Li Zong.
