Jia Zhang didn't think as much as his father thought, the simplest point was that the Jia family had bought a lot of railway bonds, and if the imperial court issued money casually, it would definitely affect their income...... And to put it more broadly, if the imperial court keeps printing currency, doesn't it mean that the white wolf has been empty? In addition, in recent years, relying on the development of industrial and commercial finance, there is a group of people who have accumulated abundant wealth, and there are many wealthy businessmen worth tens of millions in Liangjing, including Hebei and other places...... Unlike the original gentry, they no longer occupied farmland, but kept their money in the bank or invested in the city's business districts and real estate. There are more currencies issued by the imperial court, which will inevitably dilute their wealth, but this group of people turned out to be supporters of Wang Ning'an.

This is also what Jia Zhang can't figure out, is there something wrong with His Royal Highness King Yan's brain, you go to clean up the family in the southeast, we clap our hands and applaud, but we turn around and attack our own people, then it is incomprehensible!

"Alas, I can't figure it out as a father, maybe Wang Ningan is really different from ordinary people, he put the court at the forefront!"

"The Imperial Court?" Jia Zhang shook his head, "The imperial court is nothing more than those palaces, those yamen...... Wang Ning'an is just the master of the saint, he still has his own son, and a large family, so he won't be so confused, right? ”

Jia Zhang was about to continue, but Jia Changchao suddenly waved his hand and admonished: "Listen, Wang Ning'an at this time must not be provoked, let him do whatever he wants, you just need to take care of the affairs of the Criminal Department...... Remember one in particular! Jia Changchao's face was extremely grim, and he paused word by word, "Don't get too close to Wen Yanbo, don't involve our family!" ”

Jia Zhang's face changed in shock, he was silent for a while, and nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, father, I won't follow Wen Yanbo to make stupid mistakes!" ”

Jia Changchao pondered for a long time, and waved his hand weakly, "Go ahead, my father is really old, and I don't know how long I can shelter our family, you have to hold up the door!" ”

Jia Zhang was even more frightened, he nodded again and again before retreating......

Three days later, Wang Ning'an convened a meeting of the political hall again, this time it was very interesting, not only the Shangshu of the six departments, including Shilang, Dali Temple, the Royal Bank, the Audit Department, and even the Privy Council and the General Staff, all came, dozens of officials, almost a water of purple official uniforms, and the high-level officials of the Great Song Dynasty were here.

"A few days ago, on the issue of additional currency, the various ministries of Mingfa have a department and a yamen, so that everyone can discuss and give their opinions...... After discussion, the government affairs hall held that it was necessary to meet the needs of economic development, issue an additional 30 million yuan of currency every year, and at the same time adjust the method of currency issuance. ”

Wang Ning'an's voice raised, "The right to issue currency is completely handed over to the Royal Bank, and the Royal Bank accepts the entrustment of the government hall and the household department to issue currency according to the actual situation, and the rest of the banks, money banks, and ticket numbers are not allowed to operate gold and silver business, and all the gold and silver stored in it are exchanged for Royal Bank bills, so as to achieve financial unification." ”

After Wang Ningan finished speaking, everyone on the field was shocked, this hand is much more powerful than simply issuing additional currency...... Wen Yanbo, who was next to Wang Ningan, had turned his old face the color of pig liver.

Surnamed Wang, you are too much!

Inch by inch, do you treat me Wen Yanbo as air?

Wen Xianggong was furious, and he was about to stand up and refute.

Wang Ningan seemed to have guessed Wen Yanbo's thoughts, and smiled slightly, "This matter is indeed very important, I have made an explanation, and the big guy can read it immediately...... What are your views, you can also discuss...... Let's adjourn for one hour, and after one hour, we will vote on whether to implement it according to the number of people. ”

After speaking, Wang Ningan got up and went straight to the back.

As soon as he left, Wang Anshi also stood up, "The proposal to issue additional currency is advocated by the old man, and this proposition will naturally not change...... The princes can speak freely. He also followed, followed by several members of the General Staff and the Privy Council, who also retired, anyway, they were only in charge of military affairs, and other things had nothing to do with them.

When everyone who should leave is gone, about one-third of the remaining people are Wang Ning'an's students, and one-third are officials close to the Six Arts Department, as for the rest, including some neutral factions and some Wen Yanbo's people...... This is the current pattern of court forces.

Wen Yanbo really felt that he was alone, and the disciples of the royal sect represented by Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing and others all supported this method, and Zhang Dian said loudly: "Currency is a public instrument in the world, and it can only be taken care of by the imperial court...... In the past, because gold and silver were used as the standard, as long as the amount was sufficient, all banks could issue it, which caused financial chaos and inconvenience in transactions, and it was necessary to rectify the ......."

He talked a lot, almost every word, he went to Wen Yanbo, you know, in addition to the Royal Bank, the biggest is the Xijing Bank supported by Lao Wen, and this time the adjustment, Xijing Bank is also the one with the biggest loss, it is strange that Lao Wen can be peaceful!

But let him stay here and argue with a group of juniors, Wen Yanbo also felt shameless.

He simply got up, rushed straight to the back, and found Wang Ning'an's duty room where they were resting.

"Lord Wang, don't you think you've gone too far?" Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth and said: "You not only issue more currency, but also use pieces of paper to rob other people's gold and silver, such an act is only afraid that it is no different from the bandits in the mountains!" ”

Faced with Lao Wen's questioning, Wang Anshi wanted to debate with him, but Wang Ningan waved his hand.

"Brother Kuanfu, you sit down first."

Wang Ningan pulled Wen Yanbo to sit down, and suddenly, his face changed.

"Brother Kuanfu, I'm really right, I'm a hooligan, a robber and a bandit! But I did it with peace of mind! Economic development, business prosperity, this is something that everyone can see...... But the problem is that behind this development, there are still too few things that ordinary people can get...... And the current taxes of the imperial court are not very heavy, taking my Great Song Dynasty as an example, the annual annual income is just over 500 million yuan, and the 50 richest people in my Great Song Dynasty, their property combined, should be far more than the imperial court's annual income! ”

Wang Ningan said sharply: "Obviously, in this era of rapid changes, the smart, capable, and powerful are all ahead of the curve, far behind the ordinary people...... If this situation is allowed to continue, the court will have to compromise with the rich, lose its neutral status, and will no longer be able to do things for the people and do justice for the majority of the people, and the court will become the court of the rich. So...... Through fiscal and financial means, dilute the financial resources of the rich, so that the imperial court has more wealth distribution power, to promote infrastructure construction, to run education, so that most people can keep up! ”

Wang Ningan's words made the far-reaching intentions of this action clear and clear!

"Brother Kuanfu, you feel that you have a lot of interests in Xijing Bank, and you have lost a lot, to tell you the truth, as early as when I was the prime minister, I completely settled the part about the Royal Bank, and after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he also handed over the shares of the Royal Bank. The Royal Bank only serves the Song Dynasty! ”

Wen Yanbo was dumbfounded, and Wang Anshi applauded: "The prince is fair and selfless, and he is dedicated to seeking the country, which is really admirable...... Wen Xianggong, I don't know what else you have to say? ”

What else can be said?

Wen Yanbo was furious, and it was useless.

An hour later, the meeting was held again, Wang Ningan presided over the vote, a total of 63 officials, a total of 47 votes, more than two-thirds, the proposal was successfully passed.

Wang Ningan said: "Princes, in the future, all important government affairs, there will be public decisions, after the pass, it will be regarded as the common meaning of the government hall and the ministries, before it is passed, you can speak freely, and after it is passed, even if you do not agree with the officials, please implement the resolution of the imperial court, if there is a hindrance, secretly stumbling, severe punishment!" ”

After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he took the results and went directly to the palace to meet Zhao Shu.

All the courtiers who participated went back one after another.

The big guys exchanged heads and kept talking.

Although the financial reform is very involved, to be honest, not everyone has a relationship, and what really matters is the mode of public discussion.

If everyone is allowed to discuss major military affairs in the future, and then vote together, it will invisibly increase the power of hundreds of officials.

Especially Wang Ningan's last few words, the officials were even more excited!

In the past, the emperor could also use the contradictions of the courtiers to divide the officials and achieve the purpose of containing each other, but I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities in the future......

Wang Ningan took the results of the court discussion with hundreds of officials, played Zhao Shu, and without resistance, immediately implemented it...... The entire financial system is facing a thorough cleanup, and there is no one who is most angry than Wen Yanbo.

"What he Wang Ning'an said soundly, he handed over the Royal Bank clearly...... But how much power do you kid hide in the dark? The old man has nothing else, there is only one Xijing Bank left, you don't keep it for the old man, the old man and you don't share the sky! ”

Listening to his father's scolding, Wen Jifu picked his ears and said helplessly: "Dad, how long have you been scolding?" It's useless to just rely on scolding, you can't help Wang Ningan! ”

Wen Yanbo was also so angry that his stomach hurt, "If I had a way, would I still curse people here?" Now that Wang Ningan has the power alone, even his students have become elites, but Jia Ziming and these people can't pretend to be dead, can your father fight him alone? ”

Wen Jifu's eyes blinked, and he suddenly said: "Dad, if you want to fight Wang Ning'an, you can't just rely on the number of people, you have to pay attention to strategy." ”

"What strategy, do you kid have a strategy?"

"Dad, you can't underestimate the child, although I lost to Wang Ningan in the battle of copper prices, but over the years, the child has learned a lot of lessons...... Wang Ningan issued additional currency this time, where will the extra money go? I guess, in addition to building railways and paying interest, there is also food! ”

"Grain?"

"That's right...... Dad, let's hold the big granary! If the price of food is really raised, the harvest will be enough to make up for the loss! ”
