The sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty was supposed to be a good year for the country and the people.

In the winter of the previous year, the Dajin Kingdom, which had been smashing and looting on the borders of Hedong and Shuofang, was finally influenced by the Wende of the Great Song Dynasty and bowed down to the vassals - as for how much the imperial court spent in order to subdue these Jurchen barbarians, no one cared. Even if it is a million years old, no one will speak.

The difference between the word "New Year's gift" and "New Year's coin" is completely different.

The year's coin is a loss of face and a loss of lining. What kind of system did the Heavenly Dynasty pay tribute to the barbarians?

The annual gift is the reward of the Great Song Dynasty court to the barbarians, and the benefits given by the superior to the subordinate are called rewards.

Dajin Kingdom is now a minister, and it is only natural to get a little reward......

As for the actual benefits, of course, there are also them. First, the borders of Hedong and Shuofang are finally too peaceful...... There may be some bandits who will come and smash and rob, but the nature is completely different.

Before, Song and Jin were two equal countries, and to prevent divination people from robbing was an invasion!

Now Song Jin is the suzerain and vassal, and the divination people are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty. They robbed the Han people and killed a little Han people, but it was just a small friction in the process of ethnic integration...... In fact, the same thing is not less done by the current Han people. Well, the Han people of Liang and Zhou often do things of ethnic integration!

In addition to the peace of the northwest border, the relationship between the Great Song and the Zhou State also improved. The state of Zhou seems to have fallen into a "quagmire of war" in the state of Goryeo. Anyway, from last autumn to this summer, there is no intention of victory.

Although the western part of the Goryeo Peninsula was occupied by the Zhou state, the mountainous central and eastern parts of the Goryeo Peninsula were obviously difficult to deal with. It seems that the terrible army of the Zhou State cannot be freed up to deal with the Great Song Dynasty for the time being.

Therefore, between Wu Haogu, the head of the Zhou State, and Zhao Ji, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, most of them can turn enemies into friends, and it is said that they will also form a family of children and daughters.

Even if it is only a temporary peace, it is enough for the people who like Gou'an to live a peaceful and happy life for a few years.

But when the summer of the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty came, Wu Haowen, who was still supervising taxes in Zhengzhou, suddenly found himself in a Great Depression that he had never encountered in his life and could not understand.

"That's it?"

Looking at the account book reported by the officials below, Wu Haowen, who was preparing to enter Beijing to face the saint (he entered Beijing to be a matchmaker for Zhao Kai), suddenly became angry.

Although he, a tax supervisor, is different from ordinary supervisors, he doesn't care about performance at all, and he doesn't even go to work. But the people below can't deceive like this!

Now is the time to collect summer money, and at the same time, it is also the time for farmers to sell their products in exchange for money to pay taxes and rents, how can the market not prosper? How can it be so tax-pointed?

Wu Haowen's face was a little ugly, he looked at an honest-looking old official in front of him, and asked: "Although this official doesn't ask about things, Keer can't be so deceitful!" What kind of place is Zhengzhou, how can it be depressed? ”

The old official just sighed and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Di really didn't deceive the bachelor, but the world is really depressed now...... The monthly tax is 30% less than the previous year, and the housing tax is also 20% less. Xiao Ben also thought that this month would be better, who knows if it will still be the case.

If you don't believe me, you can go to the arenas inside and outside the city. ”

Wu Haowen is really no one who has done this tax supervision, and he hasn't even been to the market much since he took office, just squinting in a villa belonging to Pan Xiao'an outside Zhengzhou, and he has to communicate with the celebrities here in Zhengzhou when he has time.

It's just that I look at the account book once a month, which means that it is considered to be "supervised".

"Good!" Wu Haowen slapped the table and stood up, "This official is about to go to the field to have a look." ”

The old official also wanted this big man with his hands and eyes to go down and take a look. The current situation really makes it incomprehensible to a master like him who has been a clerk for generations.

The situation was not bad a year ago, but who knew that a money storm would lead to a depression. Within a month, more than half of the quality warehouses, unraveling warehouses, gold, silver, silk and silk silk in Zhengzhou City and the Rongchang were overturned.

Many big businesses also followed suit! Then many small businesses can't be maintained, and the ones that barely survive are also half-dead.

And the goods shipped from Kaifeng Mansion are also fifty percent less than in previous years......

Walking on the streets of Zhengzhou, looking at the deserted scene of door panels everywhere and hanging "plate out" or "rent" signs, Wu Haowen also gasped again and again.

"What's going on? Could it be that Tianjin cloth and Jiangnan silk are called to make trouble? ”

The old official sighed bitterly: "Because of Tianjin cloth and Jiangnan silk, the main thing is to give money to make trouble." ”

"Money leads?" Wu Haowen was stunned, "Didn't the imperial court buy it back for 400 wen?" ”

The old official laughed in his heart: This eldest brother is a saint-like figure in business, why doesn't he know anything?

"Bachelor, now the money has risen to 480 Wen."

"So what's the problem?" Wu Haowen asked.

"But the poured quality warehouse, the unpacking warehouse, and the gold, silver, silk and silk shops can't get up." The old official said, "At least half of the money lending businesses in Zhengzhou are planted in money!" The capital has been discounted, and the debts released cannot be recovered for a while......"

The quality bank, the unwarehousing, the gold, silver, silk and silk exchange shop have more or less leverage, that is, through the absorption of savings to amplify the capital, and the money can be used in the same way as copper coins for a period of time, and the interest rate is high, and it has become the favorite of these financial institutions.

In the process of Qian Yin falling from 770 Wen to 400 Wen, even giants like Jingdong Bank have suffered a round of runs, not to mention ordinary pledge warehouses, unsolution warehouses and gold, silver and silk silk shops.

A run on the market is what financial institutions fear the most. A few big banks with sufficient funds and the support of the Great Song Dynasty could not fail. And these small lines, it is not surprising that a large piece of it is poured down.

Small banks often support the finance of rural areas and small and medium-sized cities, and as soon as they collapse, the villages and small and medium-sized cities will immediately fall into a money shortage.

In addition, money is itself currency. More than 10,000,000 yuan has shrunk to more than 60 million, which in itself will cause serious deflation. Moreover, the small and medium-sized financial institutions that have suffered losses are now afraid to accept money induction, which further aggravates the phenomenon of deflation.

So now in the Great Song Dynasty, especially in the states and counties in the Central Plains, there is a serious deflation, that is, a shortage of money!

The money is short, can the market not be short?

If there is a shortage of money, will the Great Song Dynasty also be shortage?

……

"It's really deserted on the Jiehe River!"

"Yes, Führer, since the beginning of the year, the market in Tianjin has been depressed a lot. There are also far fewer merchant ships plying the Boundary River......"

Wu Haogu, who had been in Goryeo for more than half a year, finally returned to Tianjin on a "Truth"-class battleship at this time.

The money crisis that occurred in the Song Dynasty has also spread to Tianjin.

After all, the main market made in Tianjin is the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty fell into a depression, and Tianjin's life will not be easy.

"Qian Yin......" Wu Haogu asked Su Dalang and Pan Xingye, the governors of Tianjin beside him, "How is it now?" ”

In the past few months, he has not paid much attention to the crisis caused by money, and he has been dealing with military affairs and government affairs in Goryeo - all very trivial matters.

Conquering a powerful feudal state requires patience. This kind of feudal state does not concentrate its power in the center, so even if it defeats Wang Mata and Yin Yanchun in Chungju, and captures them. It does not mean that it is done, but it still has to spend a lot of energy to pacify and suppress, especially to push the fortress of feudalism in the Great Zhou Dynasty step by step, and finally replace the wall dock of the Goryeo aristocracy.

And in this process, sometimes it is necessary to encircle the nobles of the Goryeo people.

For example, Wang Yu and Yin Yanchun, who were captured, Tuo Junjing, who had been a puppet for a while, and Jin Fushi, who was sent by Wang Yu, not only did not lose their heads, but they all arrived in Tianjin at the same time as Wu Haogu.

They will become "aristocratic citizens" of the Great Zhou Republic, and will receive a piece of private land donated by Wu Haogu, and will also get a residence in the northern city of Tianjin.

The ruling government of the Great Zhou Republic will also give them an idle job, so that they can live in peace and stability......

Pan Xingye, the general manager of Dazhou Bank, said: "Now it has risen back to 480 Wen, but the vitality is greatly damaged, and not many people believe it." ”

"What about our silver coins and bank notes?" Wu Haogu asked again, "Can you replace Qian Yin?" ”

Pan Xingye said: "There is no problem with silver coins, but bank bills are not easy to handle. ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Haogu asked.

"The Great Song Dynasty ordered a ban on the circulation of bank bills within its borders."

Wu Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "It must be Jingdong Bank that is making trouble." ”

"Jingdong Bank is the most hateful," Pan Xingye gritted his teeth, "they also issued a money exchange in the southeast region...... It's similar to our bank bills, but it's linked to copper coins. ”

"Competition!" Wu Haogu smiled indifferently, "Are you still afraid of this when doing business?" ”

Pan Xingye snorted: "But Ji Kui of Jingdong Bank is a big profiteer, and he has made a lot of money in this round of money-led changes...... Tens of millions of taels are available! ”

"Tens of millions? So much? Wu Haogu was stunned, "How did he earn it?" ”

"It's not a trap for Song Guo!" Pan Xingye said, "First he used the high interest rate of money to coax businessmen to exchange money for money, and then deliberately created a sharp drop in money, burying countless large and small commercial houses at once, and also pushed the blame on us." ”

Hey, the financial predators are here!

Wu Haogu smiled: "Do Cai Jing and the Great Song official family know about this?" ”

"Of course I don't know," Pan Xingye said, "I was kept in the dark, and I still think Ji Kui is a good person!" ”

"What about Ji Yizhi?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"It's not clear......," Pan said.

Su Dalang said: "Führer, there have been rumors recently that Ji Yizhi may be going to Xuan Ma!" I think he's probably a part of this. ”
