And the new Songshang Bank is the only way out for the right prime minister to solve this dilemma.

Regarding the name change, Liu Yong personally set the name for the purpose of serving the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Liu Yong knew that Prime Minister You's idea of attacking Songshang Bank, Liu Yong decided to start fighting back.

The prices in the world have risen like crazy, and a book as thick as a huizi can't buy a pound of rice. The people of Lin'an Mansion complained, which put a lot of pressure on Prime Minister Right and Emperor Lizong. However, the cost of defending the border is very large. The treasury is empty, and there is no other way to do it without printing and distributing it.

The right prime minister discussed with Emperor Lizong, or find a way to let the Songshang Bank exchange a part of the huizi, even if it was the money borrowed from them by the imperial court.

Emperor Lizong had no choice, of course he agreed, but he didn't forget to bring Liu Yong over to discuss it together. At this time, Liu Yong can't protect the bank, after all, it's not his. If you protect it again, you will be exposed.

Liu Yong only said that this was not in accordance with the rules, but it would be feasible in the name of borrowing money, because the bank's profits were borrowed in exchange for interest.

In the end, Emperor Lizong said, "Then let's do it, even if it is borrowing money from the bank." ”

"Huh! When you go back to the Holy Lord, you have to have a mortgage to borrow money from the bank. I don't know what the imperial court can come up with as collateral? Liu Yong said.

"What? Do I need any collateral to borrow money? Emperor Lizong was a little annoyed.

Liu Yong said: "Holy Lord, this country has national laws, families have family rules, and this bank also has the rules of the bank. Without a mortgage, I am afraid that the bank will not lend money to the imperial court. ”

Emperor Lizong slapped the table and said angrily: "This is my world. ”

"However, our Great Song Dynasty governs the country according to law." Liu Yong said.

Emperor Lizong was also silent after hearing this, because what Liu Yong said was right, the Great Song Dynasty was to govern the country according to law, and in fact, the emperor's power was not boundless.

"Holy Lord, mortgage it." The right prime minister said.

Liu Yong was amused in his heart, and said secretly: This time, you can use any other ghost eyes. Anyway, now the bank is not mine, it is a returnee. You want to bully people with power, but it's not good.

"But what do I use as collateral?" Emperor Lizong said angrily.

"Holy Lord, it's better to use the garden behind Shangshu Province as a mortgage." The right prime minister said.

Emperor Lizong frowned, and reluctantly said, "That's a place I often visit. ”

"Holy Lord, when the court has money, it will be redeemed." The right prime minister said.

In fact, Emperor Lizong also knew in his heart that when the court was rich, he didn't know how long it would take to wait for his life. The war on the frontier is tense all the time, and the military expenditure is huge. A little money was put in. The cost of the palace is also large, and he is unwilling to cut it.

But there is no way at this time, since it is to borrow money, there must be a mortgage, it is said to be a mortgage, but if the money is not repaid, then this garden is the bank's.

Ay! If you don't have a garden, you'll be gone. Anyway, there is more than one garden in this palace.

In the end, Emperor Lizong agreed.

In fact, Liu Yong was unwilling in his heart, after ten or eight years, it would be the full-scale outbreak of the Song-Mongolian War, and the house would be worthless in the future.

But there is no way, the emperors have agreed to mortgage, so be it.

"Right Prime Minister, I'll leave this matter to you. See how much money you can lend. Emperor Lizong said.

"Yes, Holy Lord, the old minister will do it immediately." The right prime minister said.

Emperor Lizong nodded, asked Liu Yong again, and said, "Liu Yong, you still have to think about opening up sources and reducing expenditures!" ”

"Holy Lord, the minister has long said that it is extremely inappropriate to print and distribute a large number of meetings, especially to allow them to be exchanged for copper coins. In this way, once the people find out that the meeting is worthless, they will have to exchange it for copper coins. And they don't dare to delay, because the less valuable the copper coins exchanged, the less, can the people not panic? Liu Yong said, not forgetting to glance at the right prime minister.

The right prime minister's face was a little red, which was caused by him, but he was unforgiving.

He said to Liu Yong: "Prime Minister Zuo, the old man asks you, if you don't print and distribute a large number of meetings, where will the money for the armaments over there come from?" Do you want the Holy Lord to sell the palace? ”

"Right Prime Minister, I said a long time ago that the Jin Kingdom does not have the ability to attack our Great Song Dynasty now, but you don't believe it? You see, I have been in Shangshu Province for more than a month, and there is not a single emergency military information from the border pass. I also specially asked the Ministry of War, and the Jin State had already transferred the army back, and most of them were deployed in the north. Right Prime Minister, let me ask you, what threat do you say Jin Guo still has now? I'm afraid they're still afraid that our Great Song will attack him now. Liu Yong said.

"The people of the Jin Kingdom are insidious and cunning, how can Prime Minister Zuo know that this is not their suspicious plan?" The right prime minister asked.

Liu Yong smiled when he heard this, and said: "Right Prime Minister, what a suspicious plan!" Then you can print and distribute more! ”

Emperor Lizong listened to the quarrel between the two prime ministers on the left and right below, and he hesitated. At present, if the meeting is not printed, the financial situation will be tight. If Liu Yong obeyed, it would be very risky to reduce the defense of the border. He didn't know what to do for a while.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the old man wants to print and distribute the meeting for his own pocket? The right prime minister asked sharply.

"Of course, the right prime minister is for the court, for the sake of the saint. But don't you just think about the consequences of this kind of meeting? Liu Yong asked.

"Whatever the consequences are not as important as the safety of Da Song. If the Jin soldiers come over, it is not the common people who suffer? "The right prime minister will divert his attention.

Liu Yong didn't want to say anything anymore, because he couldn't explain the reason with these people, and they liked to grind out the bubbles on their feet, so let them touch it.

In the end, Liu Yong said: "Since the right prime minister does not agree with Liu's suggestion, let's follow the strategy of the right prime minister." ”

The right prime minister glanced at Liu Yong as if he had won.

"Okay, two loves, you don't have to quarrel anymore. Now it is necessary to prepare the copper coins that the people need to exchange for the club. Emperor Lizong said helplessly.

"Yes, the old minister knows, and the old minister will go to Songshang Bank to apply for a loan." The right prime minister said.

"Well, there is Prime Minister Lao, you can go." Emperor Lizong waved his hand.

"The old minister retired."

The right prime minister retreated, but Emperor Lizong did not let Liu Yong go.

"Liu Yong, are you really so sure that the Jin Kingdom will not attack us again?" Emperor Lizong asked.

Of course, the minister is determined. Because this is a reasoned and well-founded analysis. Liu Yong said.

"But, I still don't dare to take the risk!" Emperor Lizong said.

"This Weichen can understand." Liu Yong said.
