Chapter 975: The Khitan came to borrow grain
2 .n ԚE M 't J bJO ]bP QR]H D ~T sMMb # % After talking to Zhao Shu, he did not leak anything to the outside, but chose strict secrecy, to set a minimum wage, to determine the minimum grain price, which requires a large amount of data as support, not something that can be done by one person, Wang Ningan immediately found Sima Guang.
"Arrange for people to investigate, you go and arrange...... Also, to contact colleagues, jointly form a society, study national politics, you also have to implement, we have to absorb outstanding talents from various industries and regions, do not stick to the difference between portals, and do not care about identity differences. ”
Sima Guangcheng was in his chest, and immediately nodded, "Please rest assured, Master, the disciple will definitely arrange it." ”
After the explanation, Sima Guang did not leave in a hurry, but said: "Master, in the past two days, the disciple has browsed some newspapers and found that there have been a sudden number of articles discussing financial reform, and there are many people who have moved out of Wen Xianggong's recital, and used the above views to attack the imperial court, saying that this financial reform is to disregard the people's livelihood, the life and death of the people, and the intentions are sinister and vicious. ”
Wang Ningan frowned, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The disciple thought that Wen Yanbo's recital had just gone up, and the court officials might not know so clearly, where did those newspapers get the news? and scolded the court one-sidedly, and the disciple doubted...... There's something going on here! ”
Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "If there is anything I will deal with, don't make a noise, just do the things in hand honestly." ”
Sima Guang nodded immediately, since the master knew it in his heart, he was happy not to mix. Sent Sima Guang away, Wang Ningan secretly sneered, Wen Yanbo really couldn't bear the loneliness, this old man wanted to fight hard before he retreated!
Okay, let me see how many catties you have Wen Kuanfu!
……
"Dad, now the market has moved."
Wen Ji Fuxing hurriedly said: "Since the newspaper began to report, grain futures have risen, and wheat has risen by ten percent!" The others are also following closely ......" Wen Jifu looked extremely happy, his eyes were round, he couldn't forget the copper price fiasco back then, and now he finally has the opportunity to settle accounts with Wang Ningan, how can he not be excited!
"Dad, do we want to make a move? Smash 5 million first! Raise food prices by another two percent? ”
Wen Yanbo pondered for a long time and shook his head, "Your Majesty immediately summoned Wang Ning'an after summoning his father, I don't know what they talked about, but after talking, they immediately agreed to the financial reform, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Wen Jifu pondered: "What does my father mean, could it be that Wang Ningan has a way to deal with it?" It shouldn't be...... We're an upright conspiracy! ”
"Alas, then Wang Ningan doesn't necessarily use conspiracy!"
With Yang Mou against Yang Mou, it depends on whose means are higher!
Wen Yanbo took a deep breath, "Son, it's still the same sentence, you and I, father and son, you must be cautious, don't trap yourself, I'm really worried, Wang Ningan has laid another trap, waiting for us to jump in." ”
Wen Jifu suppressed his excitement and struggled for a long time, "Dad, your worries are right, the food is indeed too sensitive, we can't touch it...... But it can't be cheap, Wang Ning'an, a God-given opportunity, how can he miss it? ”
This kid walked around the ground a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
"Dad, let's stop playing with food, let's start from real estate instead?"
Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, "Is this trick okay?" ”
"Absolutely." Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Land trading is the most normal, we are trying to find a way to raise the land price in the two capitals, so that the land price and grain price are superimposed...... Those who do business will be in a difficult situation, or even unable to sustain themselves...... Moreover, it is safer to move the land and move the grain, Wang Ningan will also say that the hoarding of Juqi and the price of goods are raised, but the hoarding of land has not yet been managed by the imperial court! The most important thing is that we start with the land, and we will get a lot of responses. ”
Wen Yanbo thought about it and immediately praised: "Yes, the biggest landlords in the capital are the Yang family, the Cao family, the Pan family, the Wang family and other generals, they also want to maintain their wealth, and they must be involved." These people are all Wang Ning'an's allies, and even in-laws, the old man wants to see, does he Wang Ning'an dare to cut his own people? ”
"Daddy is wise!"
……
In the early autumn of the fourth year of Zhiping, the policy of issuing additional currency was finally implemented, and Wang Ningan claimed that he was printing 30 million yuan, but in fact, he printed 50 million yuan, and the other 20 million yuan was used to buy railway bonds...... Because not long ago, he passed a new decision to build roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time to add five railways in the north, a total of more than 1 billion yuan, and the initial investment is 120 million yuan!
In the past, it cost millions of dollars to control the river, which was considered a super project.
Compared to what it is now, it is a drop in the bucket.
In order to make the bonds go smoothly, the household department pays for the purchase of its own bonds, raises the price of the bonds, and then sells them...... Wang Ningan played the financial game very skillfully.
He also ordered all banks to turn over their stocks of gold and silver to the Royal Bank for unified preservation.
Various banks, especially Xijing Bank, are angry, many people go to Wen Yanbo to cry, Lao Wen is helpless, the old man doesn't want to stop it, but he can't stop it!
"You guys are all smart people, the court won't let you do it, what else can you do! You can only bow down and obey orders. I advise the big guys, see more, listen more, think more of a way, don't hang yourself from a tree! ”
Lao Wen drove these people away.
At first, these people thought that Wen Xianggong was perfunctory, but they could think about it again, watch more, listen more, what to see, what to listen to?
Naturally, they brought the newspaper in, and after focusing on some articles, it suddenly became clear!
Wen Xianggong is amazing, this is pointing us a way to live!
Subsequently, a large amount of funds began to pour into the stock market and futures, and grain futures rose by two percent in just one month!
What's even more strange is that he can't find the Wen family's money, on the contrary, Wen Yanbo also took the initiative to write a book to transfer grain from Hetao to relieve the pressure of rising food prices!
"I'm not afraid of old goods doing bad things, I'm afraid of old goods doing good things!"
Wang Ningan said: "I dare to say that there must be Wen Kuanfu behind this, but he did learn to be smart and did not intervene directly, on the contrary, he tried his best to pretend to be selfless." ”
Chen Shunzhi nodded, "The prince's judgment is reasonable, I thought at first that I could have a spoonful of stew and handle the old text...... But now I don't dare to say it, Lord Wang, it is better to focus on the overall situation, release the grain stocks as soon as possible, and keep the price down, otherwise the people's resentment will boil, which is really unfavorable to the Lord Wang. ”
Wang Ning'an bowed his head and was about to give an order, when Su Zhe, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly came.
"Ziyou, these days are quite smooth?"
Su Zhe nodded hurriedly, "Recently, the Ministry of Rites has been promoting the Xiucai Department, and from the southeast to other roads, the Xiucai Department has been added to select materials for the country...... I have already said hello to the Ministry of Officials, they will strictly investigate the officials in various places, eliminate some problematic corrupt officials, replace them with new people, according to estimates, in about five years, the officials who have passed the assessment, reach more than 3 percent, within ten years, to reach 70 percent, at that time, the entire officialdom can complete a complete blood exchange! ”
Wang Ningan pondered for a moment, although this speed is not fast enough, but he also knows that so many officials, if they lose their jobs all of a sudden, they will also make trouble, and they can only be replaced gradually, and they may not have the ability to handle things well if they have just passed the assessment......
"Ziyu's arrangement is appropriate, do you have anything else?"
"Yes...... That's the case, just now the Khitan sent a message, saying that he was going to visit the Great Song Dynasty and congratulate the new monarch. ”
Wang Ningan almost laughed after hearing this, Zhao Shu has been on the throne for more than four years, and he sent someone over, which is too dull!
"The so-called night owls enter the house and come for nothing, I think they have something to ask for, right?"
Su Zhe nodded, "I understand the situation, it is said that last year the Khitan was very cold, and many livestock froze to death, and this spring, there were two snows in a row, and the seedlings that had just grown were frozen to death, and after the summer, it didn't rain for a month...... Not to mention that the crops were not completed, even the pastures were withered and yellowed. ”
Wang Ningan took a breath, "So, they're here to borrow grain!" ”
"That's how it should be." Su Zhe said: "With Yelu Hongji's arrogance, he will not come to the Great Song Dynasty as a last resort, I think this may be an opportunity?" ”
