In the 100 million-year-old palace, the dialogue between the monarch and the minister is like a stream.

"Huh? And three more strategies? Chen Hong was deeply surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand after being overjoyed, "Since this is the case, then please ask Xiao Cui Qing's family to tell me in detail." ”

"Okay, Wechen first said the next policy, the next policy is to increase taxes, in fact, according to reason, increasing taxes should be listed as the best policy, but because of the current situation in Daqi, if you want to increase taxes, I am afraid that it is not something that can be completed overnight, involving many contradictions in all aspects, the process is more complicated, the cycle of raising funds is relatively long, and it also has a continuous impact on the economy, and Wechen does not approve of imposing taxes on the people, so it is listed as the next policy."

"Let's talk about the middle policy, and this middle policy, is the issuance of treasury bonds that Wechen has used, the procedures required for the issuance of treasury bonds are simple, and an IOU can raise funds relatively quickly, but its disadvantage is that it needs to be returned, resulting in a fiscal deficit and increasing the financial burden, if there is no good financial management means, this method is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst."

Chen Hong nodded again and again when he heard this, and urged: "What about the best policy? What's the best policy? ”

Cui Wenqing smiled, and then said with a smile: "The most effective way to increase fiscal revenue is to issue currency, which is not only fast and convenient, but also has immediate results. ”

Hearing this, the light of hope in Chen Hong's eyes disappeared, and his gaze at Cui Wenqing was like looking at a boastful scholar, and he smiled bitterly: "Little Cui Aiqing is just afraid that I don't know, the silver and brass mining volume of our Daqi is very low, and there is a fixed number of silver and copper coins minted every year, how can we issue more currency?" This method really doesn't work! ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The official family misunderstood, in fact, the issuance of currency that Weichen said was not the issuance of silver and brass, but a paper currency called silver bills. ”

"Silver ticket? Paper money? Chen Hong's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and he was immediately deeply surprised.

Cui Wenqing smiled slightly, and explained the reason for issuing the silver ticket, and his soothing and clear voice echoed in the hall for a long time, as the emperor of Great Qi, Chen Hong was already shocked.

Although Zhi Zhao vaguely mentioned Wang Anshi in the book, he never made a more formal announcement, so it did not attract too much attention from Wang Anshi.

Originally, according to the plan of Zhezhao and Cui Wenqing, they were only going to issue silver tickets on Hedong Road, so as to earn sufficient military expenses for the Zhenwu Army.

However, it is a pity that because Zhezhao has been busy with resettlement recently, he does not have much energy to preside over the issuance of silver tickets.

Moreover, Cui Wenqing, who is the president of Hedong Bank, is studying in Luoyang City, and Lu Huiqing, vice president, naturally cannot undertake such a pioneering event, so the issuance of silver bills has completely stagnated.

This time, Cui Wenqing mentioned in Chen Hong that he also wanted to do something practical for the imperial court, and secondly, he also wanted to use the hands of the imperial court to implement the issuance of silver tickets.

Of course, he still has a selfish desire to favor Zhenwujun, and added at the end: "Of course, the issuance of silver tickets is a major event of the whole country, but it is not careless, sloppy, we must look at the results of a corner, and then seek changes in the overall situation, so Weichen feels that we can first implement the pilot of silver ticket issuance on Hedong Road, look at its effectiveness, summarize experience, analyze the shortcomings, if everything is feasible, and then carry out comprehensive promotion throughout the country." ”

After a few words, Chen Hong's heart has already set off a monstrous wave, and he feels that the silver ticket that Cui Wenqing said is really a wonderful thing.

However, Chen Hong didn't know much about the economy, and it was inconvenient to make judgments and make decisions at this time, so he finally calmed down and said without showing a look: "Xiao Cui Aiqing's method is really good, and when I have time, I will gather my ministers to discuss the matter of the silver ticket." ”

Cui Wenqing knew that the emperor of Daqi and the prime ministers were very cautious, otherwise they would not have objected to the issuance of military bonds and treasury bonds on Hedong Road, so he nodded and smiled.

Later, Chen Hong asked Cui Wenqing a few more irrelevant questions before letting Cui Wenqing leave.

Seeing his back disappear outside the palace gate, Chen Hong, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and only then did he say softly: "Teacher, you can come out." ”

With a sound of gentle footsteps, a person came out from behind the screen standing in the east corner of the hall, and it was Wang Anshi, the prime minister of Daqi who was dressed in purple official clothes and had gray hair.

He walked into the hall, but did not speak, but frowned and thought seriously, with a faint look of excitement on his face.

"What does the teacher think of Cui Wenqing's words?" Chen Hong asked in a deep voice.

Wang Anshi took a long breath, and couldn't help but smile and arch his hand: "Official, the old minister thought that he had already looked down on this Cui Wenqing, but what he didn't expect was that he still looked down on him, this person's talent in politics is only afraid that he is not under the management of Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period." ”

"What? Guan Zhong? Chen Hong was extremely surprised to say a word, and he was shocked on the spot.

You must know that Guan Zhong is one of the most famous ministers from ancient times to the present, and his people not only assisted the princes of Qi Henggong Jiuhe, respected the king, but also vigorously developed the economy of Qi and created a number of economic systems, so that Qi became rich in the world for hundreds of years, it can be said that this person is the main assistant of Qi hegemony and the main founder of Qi economy.

At this time, Wang Anshi used Guan Zhong as a metaphor, which naturally shocked Chen Hong.

seemed to feel that his metaphor was too shocking, Wang Anshi said in a deep voice: "Official, the old minister's words are reasonable, first, Cui Wenqing came up with an incredible welfare lottery, and this alone earns three thousand taels of silver for the imperial court every year; Second, this person also created national bonds and military bonds, from then on the Hedong Road through the Yamen of the Liufu Mansion and the Governor of the Zhenwu Army, it can be said that the rich world, according to legend, the silver piled up in the treasury of the two governments is like a hill, inexhaustible. Third, the resettlement strategy that this person thought of, in addition to solving the urgent needs of the imperial court, also strengthened the strength of Fuzhou, Linzhou and other places, which is also a feat that benefits the contemporary era. And today, he put forward this idea of issuing silver bills, if implemented, it can change the monetary system from ancient times to the present, which is really a shocking move, so the old minister is in charge of it. ”

After listening to Wang Anshi's words, Chen Hong sighed with a smile and said: "Listening to what my teacher said, I feel that this person's talent is indeed like Guan Zhong, but I don't know why, but it gives me a very unreal feeling. ”

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "In fact, the feeling of the official family, the old minister has always had it, this Cui Wenqing is only eighteen years old, but he can have such an opinion, his analysis of the Liao State and Western Xia is also very in place, it is very rare, if these words are put forward by an old minister who has been in power for many years, probably we will not be too surprised, but if it is proposed by a student who is less than twenty years old, it will naturally feel unimaginable." ”
