Zhang Daxiang was originally skeptical of Han Yi's words, but after he let the wind out, he immediately became convinced, and there was opposition, but the support was even louder.

With the public opinion base and the support of officials, the next step is the official promulgation.

But before that, the queen had to nod.

The Hall of Politics.

"This issued currency is also involved in the restructuring of the Yulu system?"

Wu Meiniang took the Yulu statistics sheet and looked at Han Yi with a little surprise.

Han Yi nodded without changing his face, and said: "This is to increase the credibility of vouchers, if the imperial court itself does not use vouchers, then how can the people use vouchers with confidence, so the officials' salaries are all issued with vouchers." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "You told Your Majesty about this?" ”

What are you kidding, this is the consensus I reached with His Majesty. Han Yi nodded and said, "I discussed this matter with Your Majesty earlier, and Your Majesty also supports this. ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi with a little suspicion, and said in her heart, you kid is only afraid that he is talking about the tip of the iceberg!

This reform is not a small-scale change, but a large-scale change, affecting many aspects, if according to the nature of the matter, this should have been treated as a separate matter, Wu Meiniang really only heard about this matter, but today I saw the complete content, this should not be a little heard, this is not a trivial matter.

She knows Han Yi's style too well, and she is the most adept at taking things lightly, what he says may be just that, but once you nod your head, there will be continuous problems behind, you can only follow his routine and keep making changes, Han Yi will never tell the other party all the plans in one go, he will only open an opening, and then keep digging inside.

Wu Meiniang looked at Zhang Wenguan and the others again: "Have you already discussed this?" ”

Zhang Wenguan nodded and said: "There has been a discussion in advance, and we all think that the imperial court should set an example, and only in this way can we effectively prevent the imperial court from issuing vouchers indiscriminately. ”

They were deeply suspicious of the issuance of paper money before, and he was worried that the officials in the future would mess around, if the paper money was concentrated in the hands of the officials themselves, they would not dare to mess around, once it was depreciated, it would be their wealth!

This arrangement is very ingenious, using the reform of the system to influence monetary policy.

Wu Meiniang said: "What about the other ministers of the DPRK and China? Is he all in favor of it? ”

Cui Jijian said: "There are also some opposing voices, these people want to be able to keep the job field, but change the money to copper coins." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "I also have doubts, this change is not small, and the court should consider it carefully." ”

Han Yi said: "But doing so is beneficial to everyone." ”

Wu Meiniang asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "In fact, every official has his own field, and their grain is surplus, so many officials often take the grain to the market to exchange for goods. If the currency is issued directly, it will make the life of the officials much simpler. In addition, this can also increase the demand for grain, can stabilize the price of grain in Chang'an, will not drop very much, as long as Chang'an's grain price market is very attractive, then more grain will be shipped to Chang'an, which will to a certain extent, reduce the pressure of transport.

In addition, when officials have money in their hands, they have to go to the market to buy it, which can stimulate the expansion of the market, increase consumption, and promote commerce to become more prosperous, which is very beneficial to the people. Moreover, in the past, there were many unfair phenomena in the system, and officials had a lot of gray income, which the court did not know, and there was no way to supervise it, for example, many officials liked to withhold their subordinates' money, but this is a flaw in the system, and if the system is not changed, there is no way to fundamentally solve this problem.

After this change, each official's salary is clear, and from the perspective of human nature, people die for money, birds die for food, and the public servants allocated to officials should belong to the imperial court, and the financial income should be given by the imperial court, not the officials themselves. Also, now this is limited to Beijing officials, and will be popularized to the local area in the future, local officials have always been unfair, even if it is the same level, but because of the quality of the place, the Yulu will also become the same, and the unified distribution of the Yulu will be much fairer, so that some talented people can go to those barren places, anyway, the Yulu is the same, so that it is very helpful for backward places. ”

After hearing this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Are you really sure that after the promulgation, it will not cause turmoil in the court?" ”

Wang Xuandao said: "Back to the queen, in fact, most officials still support it, because the handover of the post field is very troublesome, if you send money directly, they will be more stable in their hearts, those who oppose it are mainly for vouchers, if you send currency directly, they may not object." ”

Those who support the reform of Yulu are mainly middle and low-level officials, because the good job fields are monopolized by the emperor's relatives, princes and nobles, and sometimes the number of acres of job land in hand is much less than the regulations, because the land in the hands of the imperial court is getting less and less, and the land occupied by the big officials is more and more.

In addition, some officials who specialize in working under the big officials have their salaries entirely from officials, and there are also officials who deduct the salaries of their subordinates, which is a very common phenomenon in the military, and of course they also support it.

Among the cardinal ministers, few are interested in Yulu, Zheng Shanxing, Wang Xuandao, Lu Shigua, and Cui Jijian The four of them also followed Han Yi and didn't want the court's Yulu, because they had money, they wanted to contribute to the country and show their ambitions, not for money, we used this time to make money, and the benefits we got were much more.

It's those related households who are more opposed, which will reduce a lot of their gray income, but the upper and lower classes are supportive, and there is that in today's life, the role of money is getting bigger and bigger, go to the academy to study, you can't sign up with food, go to the amusement park to play, and it is impossible to buy tickets with food, this all need currency, and now the value of money is in demand, they have a lot of land in their homes, and they are also relatively short of currency, so they don't have a serious attitude to oppose it.

Some time ago, Wu Meiniang continued to make up for economic knowledge, but that was only the tip of the iceberg, and she didn't understand the benefits so quickly.

But then again, does it have a lot to do with her own self-interest? In fact, no, so she is thinking more, if it goes on like this, the national interests and Han Yi will be more and more tightly bound, and Han Yi's position will be more stable, which is why she wanted to change Han Yi's policy at the beginning, Han Yi has not established his own power now, he completely relies on constant changes to consolidate his position.

This is something that all ministers don't have, it's just a trick for the eldest grandson Wuji to go back and forth, and it's okay to change people, if he doesn't establish his own power, then he will be finished. Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are like this, they must establish their own power in the court, but Han Yi does not need it, because his policy is constantly changing, except for him, no one can play around, once it stops, there will be problems, the last crisis has proved this, you can only support him.

After Wang Xuandao finished speaking, Wu Meiniang was silent, and everyone didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, she nodded and said, "Since you and the rest of the ministers in the DPRK and China are in favor of the reform, then do it!" ”

This monetary policy is actually very important, if according to the content of the temporary law, Wu Meiniang cannot call the shots in this matter, so Li Zhi has already passed this monetary policy before that, because this policy is the policy that Li Zhi and Han Yi are embarrassed to set privately, when they use copper coins in small quantities, they began to specialize in copper mines and use grain to purchase copperware.

Therefore, this meeting is just a superficial effort, Wu Meiniang has to preside over government affairs, she has no decision-making power, but she has administrative power, how to arrange the details, she has to ask about these.

If you don't ask anything, why is she coming?

But it seemed to be a vain question, because she couldn't fully see the essence of the matter.

After the meeting, Wu Meiniang did not leave the political hall in a hurry, but sat inside, took the Yilu statistics sheet, looked at it carefully, and after half a sound, she put it down and muttered to herself: "It seems that it is time to meet him." ”

After this meeting, the imperial court began to formally implement this monetary policy.

And this first step is of course not to send a fortune, it is not yet the time to make a fortune, but the restructuring of the fortune is determined, but it is limited to Beijing officials, this can not be said to be in one step, Chang'an has a big market, everything can be bought, currency naturally becomes very important, but to get to the land of Bashu, the official will not do it, nothing can be bought, what do I want this currency for.

This first step is actually a routine that Han Yi is very familiar with, which is to ------ demolition.

The steps of Han Yi to issue currency are to issue copper coins first, and then issue vouchers, because the currency has changed greatly, there is a penny, five cents, five cents, one yuan currency, the voucher has words on it, and the literacy rate of the people is not high, directly give them vouchers, the people may not be able to adapt to it, it is difficult to form this concept, first send the copper coins to them, let them feel the currency of the face value first, and then issue vouchers.

Copper coins have been minted all along, and more than half of them have been minted!

This copper coin belongs to the imperial court, and the imperial court has to smash it on the heads of the people, how to smash it, that is, to implement Yan Liben's construction plan in the city, and the city is full of people, if you want to rebuild, then you must first demolish it, so you have to settle these people, you have to build another house.

The reason why Han Yi was very supportive of Yan Liben's policy at the beginning was because this was actually within his plan, he always felt that the city was too closed and it was difficult to develop a commercial atmosphere, so he had been laying out it early on, which was his town plan.

This demolition plan, to put it simply, is a large-scale reconstruction of residential areas in the suburbs by the imperial court, which was actually planned by Han Yi a long time ago, in addition to the northern suburbs, there are large-scale workshops in the east, west and south, and some residential areas have also been formed. The northern suburbs are because the Daming Palace is there, but it has not been able to develop, and then go directly to exchange the people's houses in the city, and there is no subsidy in it, it is a one-to-one exchange, you love to change it or not.

Even so, this policy has not yet been officially promulgated, but when the news came out, the people in the city were happy, and many people were very willing to exchange it, for fear that the imperial court would not exchange it for them.

This is really unimaginable in the future, at this time it should be a sky-high asking price, and everyone is eager to be the nail household.

But today's people don't do this, it's not that they didn't think of it, but it's too beneficial for them, you don't want to change, some people are willing to change.

This is because the people who live in the city, except for the officials, are all citizens, and the citizens are mainly scholars and businessmen, or some miscellaneous people, and the peasants generally do not live in the city. In the past, it was self-sufficient, and citizens made something at home and then took it to the market to sell it, or ran errands, working as both workers and hawkers, and made a living from it. But in this era, when you make things at home, it is laborious, and it is not as easy to use as it comes out of other people's workshops, and the price is not expensive, how can you win the fight.

Coupled with the previous crisis, the final result was the return of the merchants, and the large-scale recruitment of citizens to work in the workshops helped the citizens to survive the crisis, but the problem is that most of the merchants' workshops can be built in the suburbs, which means that many citizens in the city have to rush to the workshops early in the morning, and come back before the curfew, which is very painful, of course they are willing to live outside the city now, and they can also live in new houses, which is very beautiful.

In terms of comfort, of course, it is more comfortable to live outside the city, which is crowded and has various restrictions.
