Chapter 972: I Just Don't Want to Pay It Back

Wen Yanbo's initial mood was not bad, just waiting for the civil war under Wang Ning'an's door, he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but suddenly Sima Guang went to visit the palace, and when he heard what people said, this radiant face, Lao Wen was still pondering, could it be that Wang Ningan nodded, he wanted to prepare money and get some railway stocks to play.

But I never imagined that things suddenly changed, and it was actually changed to issuing money, others don't understand, can Lao Wen not understand! It is clear that it is to print pieces of paper to pay off debts, which is simply unreasonable!

"Lord Wang, the old man has the courage to ask for advice, do you support this proposal to issue money?"

Wang Ningan smiled, "I basically have a positive attitude, but this is a meeting of the political hall, if you have any opinions, you can speak freely, and say everything." ”

"Okay, just let me say it!"

Wen Yanbo straightened his chest, coughed twice, and cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if the old man remembers correctly, although there is a lot of gold and silver pouring in every year in the household department of the imperial court, the average banknote issued in these years is more than 20 million yuan, and the gold and silver in stock cannot support the additional currency...... Now it has to increase by 30 million all at once, just ask, is there no constraint if it is so indiscriminate? ”

Wen Yanbo glared at Wang Anshi angrily, "Wang Xianggong, this notebook is on you, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty indiscriminately issued white deer skin coins, Zhuge Liang indiscriminately issued Taiping 100 coins, Yin Jian is not far away, isn't Wang Xianggong clear?" You have always been known for being good at managing money, what is your intention in coming up with such a law that misleads the country and harms the people? ”

Don't really say it, Lao Wen, as the second king with a different surname in the Great Song Dynasty, and the old prime minister, is angry, not idle!

Fortunately, Wang Anshi is not an ordinary person, he smiled faintly, "Wen Xianggong, the indiscriminate issuance of currency will indeed bring disaster to the country and the people, but this time it is not indiscriminate, but an additional issuance!" ”

"What's the difference?"

"It's a big difference!"

Wang Anshi stood tall and said loudly: "Princes, after the construction of the railway, it can drive the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty and increase countless business opportunities...... Money is the lifeblood of business, there are empty business opportunities, without money, how can the economy prosper? How can we benefit the people? At this time, the issuance of additional currency is just to increase the currency, so how can it be said that it is misleading the country and harming the people? ”

"Nonsense!"

Lao Wen was anxious, "Wang Xianggong, currency issuance has always been based on metal reserves, and this is true for the issuance of copper coins in the past, and the implementation of the gold yuan reform later. My Great Song Mansion Treasury is empty, there is not so much gold and silver, but you prefer to print so much currency, let me ask, are these currencies guaranteed? If you run on the court, will the court be able to get the gold and silver? And without a guarantee, currency is just a piece of paper, and you can print as much as you want...... If you do that, who will be able to supervise it? ”

Wen Yanbo almost roared, "King Yan, Wang Xianggong, and the princes who support this strategy, have you thought about it?" If there is a deficit in the imperial court, it should go straight on the right path, which is nothing more than two ways: open source and throttling, how can there be any reliance on printing money to make up for the shortfall...... What is this? Isn't this the court playing scoundrels with its head? ”

Rumble!

Lao Wen's words shocked the audience, and even Zhang Dian stared at Wen Xianggong, grandma, the old man has something in his stomach!

Dare to love him to stand tall and not shake, relying on not only his face, this truth is said, it is loud!

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit unreasonable to use money printing to fill the shortfall, but at this time, Zhang Dian will not jump out to help Wen Yanbo speak, and the others are also looking at each other and silent!

Syllable!

Wen Yanbo slapped the table angrily and roared angrily: "His Royal Highness King Yan, since you presided over the political affairs hall, you have professed to love the people everywhere, and now you actually use such a method to cripple the people, won't your conscience be disturbed?" ”

Wang Ningan smiled elegantly when asked, when did you Wen Kuanfu pay attention to his conscience? However, the old man was so angry, and Wang Ningan could guess the reason

The matter of issuing additional banknotes is indeed very debatable, especially if the control is not proper and the banknotes are issued indiscriminately, it will be like a certain prince with a blank space before and after, ten months after issuing gold yuan coupons, 20,000 times inflation, and he was directly pushed by the people in a cart and sent to a fairy island in the East China Sea for retirement...... This shows the horror of indiscriminate banknotes.

However, the advantages of issuing more banknotes moderately still outweigh the disadvantages!

"Wen Xianggong, since you asked, you might as well talk about it openly."

"Okay, the old man is trying to learn the prince's opinion!" Wen Yanbo sat on the chair with a puffed up, an old face, longer than a donkey!

Wang Ningan was not in a hurry, "Just now Xianggong mentioned that the currency should be based on gold and silver...... It seems to make sense, but when you look closely, it may not be appropriate. ”

"In the past few years, from the Western Regions, from Jiaozhi, Dali and other places, the development of minerals to fill the national use has indeed alleviated the shortage of money...... But the question is, after the completion of the railway, the commercial demand has increased by a hundredfold, with the current currency issuance, as well as the supply of overseas gold and silver, can the gap be solved, and the big guys may wish to discuss? ”

Wang Ningan seems to have found the feeling of taking classes in the Six Arts again, and it just so happened that among the people below, except for Wen Yanbo and others, the rest were his disciples.

After thinking about it, the big guys all shook their heads.

I have to say that the Great Song Dynasty is really too big, in the case of the Ming Dynasty, it accumulated one-third of the world's wealth by absorbing American silver, but not only did it not give birth to industrialization, but instead caused displaced people to rise up and the world was in chaos...... Wang Ningan estimated that even if he won the Americas immediately and provided 1 million taels of silver every year, it would still be a drop in the bucket and would not solve the problem.

Therefore, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to enter the threshold of industrialization, it must give up the metal standard and implement the credit standard.

Fang Cai Xianggong also cited the examples of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhuge Wuhou, indeed, they both caused the indiscriminate issuance and depreciation of currency, rising prices, and harming people's livelihood and economy...... But the big guy changed his mind, if the Han Dynasty and Xishu at that time produced goods went up, and there were more things on the market, would it cause prices to rise? I think the result is obvious, there is a relative relationship between money and physical goods, and the number of goods produced by the Great Song Dynasty through the railway, through the use of steam engines, has increased dozens of times, hundreds of times, and if we do not issue more money and consume these goods, what will be the result? ”

This time, Han Zongwu took the initiative to take the call.

"Lord Wang, rising prices are not good, but falling prices are even more terrible...... Money is not easy to complete, businessmen can not make a profit, naturally production will stop, when the time comes, all industries are depressed, the people are unemployed, turbulent, the situation will be even worse...... Therefore, it is very appropriate to issue more money at this time. ”

Wang Ningan's remarks seem to make it clear theoretically that the need to issue more currency is supported by most of his students, and even a sincere person like Fan Chunren can reluctantly accept it.

Of course, aside from the school theory, in a word, Lao Tzu is ready to repay the debt with pieces of paper, just want to be a scoundrel, what can you do?

Our Wen Xianggong, who was furious, snorted, "Lord, you have been talking for a long time, and you still haven't answered the old man, what will happen if you issue currency indiscriminately?" Who knows how much is needed in the market, and who knows if you will spam it? Now the deficit of the railways is so big, and there are so many places to use money...... If this opening is opened, whoever wants to print as much as he wants, will print as much as he wants, and won't the prestige of the imperial court be lost? ”

He clenched his fists and chuckled twice, "All in all, the old man is absolutely against it, and the old man will also write to His Majesty to state this matter, no matter what the result is, the old man can sit back and watch the court law collapse and wanton nonsense!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wen Yanbo actually got up and left directly, not even wanting to talk about it.

Lao Wen left, including Wang Anshi, he was a little hesitant, did this old man take the wrong medicine, where did he go to the slippery and fickle in the past, why did he have the iron heart to go against Wang Ning'an? Is this still Wen Yanbo?

Everyone has a question mark in their heads, but Wang Ningan can see it clearly, Lao Wen dares to be unscrupulous, or he gave him the courage, it is precisely because of the halo of the king with a different surname that no one dares to do anything to him, especially when he speaks up and asks for the people's life, which is even more unscrupulous!

Moreover, the issuance of additional currency will indeed provoke the anger of a large number of people...... Among these people, there are many of Wang Ning'an's former subordinates, and there are also many powerful wealthy businessmen, Lao Wen is right, with the support of these people, he has nothing to be afraid of, anyway, Lao Tzu can't enter the political hall, which is called barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

His grandmother's, and he blames himself!

Wang Ningan shook his head helplessly, "Xianggong Wen opposes this proposal, so what about you, do you have similar views?" ”

After asking twice in a row, Jia Zhang's face was full of embarrassment and he spoke, "Lord Wang, I support additional issuance, but it seems that there should be some restraint, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe...... Wen Xianggong's opinion is not necessarily wrong...... "His words were hesitant and hesitant, for fear of being classified as Wen Yanbo's group, but he didn't fully agree with it, which seemed very funny.

Wang Ningan nodded with a smile, "This discussion is indeed a bit big, let's give the big guy three days and weigh it well." ”

This time the meeting ended like this, Jia Zhang hesitated, returned home, and found his father Jia Changchao sitting in the lobby with a gloomy face.

"What? Wen Kuanfu came to make a big fuss about political affairs? ”

Jia Zhang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Dad, how do you know?" ”

"Hmph, do I dare not to know about the big and small things in the court? The tiger can still take a nap after eating someone, at this juncture, does your father dare to take a nap? One step has passed, and we will never recover! ”

Jia Zhang grinned bitterly, "Dad, I don't think it's so serious, right?" ”

Jia Changchao snorted, "It's not serious, isn't it?" Don't you understand, why did Wang Ningan issue additional currency? ”

"This ...... He was also forced, and the loss of the court was too great! ”

"Wrong, there are countless ways to make up for the shortfall, why does he have to issue more banknotes?"

"That dad thinks that Wang Ningan is planning to ......"

Jia Changchao took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "The old man read Wang Ning'an's article in his early years a few days ago, and he mentioned that currency, like the decrees of the imperial court, is a kind of power, and he still wants to seize power!" ”
