"Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed!"

Tang Jie slapped the table and snorted angrily, and opposite him, sat Wang Yaochen, the deputy envoy of the privy council, and the two of them faced the will that Zhao Zhen had just given, and their chests were full of anger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Zhen took the Royal Bank's disaster relief contribution and transferred 18 money supervisors to the name of the Royal Bank, and the Royal Bank was responsible for minting money in the future.

This holy decree immediately caused a backlash from the courtiers.

Mr. Tang, who is known for his loyalty, still admired Wang Ningan very much back then, and felt that he was strict with the Liao people, and he was a very good young man without losing his national body.

But in the past few years, Tang Jie has seen through Wang Ning'an, this kid has a lot of money and intestines, and he specializes in breaking the rules of the court.

A few days ago, it was rumored that he was going to take over the third envoy, the prefect of Chenzhou, and he was pushed back, so he made a royal bank.

At that time, Tang Jie was still a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Wang Ningan insisted on getting a bank, but now he knows that he dares to love this kid to get involved in the power of coinage, this is to grab meat from the hands of civil officials to eat!

What's even more infuriating is that Zhao Zhen actually agreed and made a will, which is simply unreasonable!

Tang Jie said murderously: "Lord Wang, the old man must not sit idly by, if Wang Ning'an does not get rid of this son, the court will never have peace!" ”

Wang Yaochen thought so, "What Lord Tang said is reasonable, if you give up the right to mint coins today, you may have to levy the land tax tomorrow, and if it goes on like this, won't the three divisions be hollowed out!" He, Wang Ning'an, has become the third envoy who is not the third envoy. ”

"So be sure to block it!" Tang Jie knocked on the table and said angrily: "I'm afraid it's not enough for the two of us alone, how about Fu Xianggong's side?" ”

Wang Yaochen hurriedly said: "Fu Xianggong is naturally willing to uphold justice, but Jia Ziming's attitude is ambiguous, I'm afraid that this guy will be like last time, but it won't be easy to do." ”

Tang Jie bluffed and said: "It doesn't matter, he, Jia Changchao, still dares to shield Wang Ning'an, and the old man will be impeached with death, so that he can't be the prime minister!" ”

Among all kinds of impeachment, the most powerful is to gamble with life, fight to the death, and if it is false, I would rather lose my head! With Tang Jie's status, if he really fights hard, Jia Changchao may not be able to bear it.

Wang Yaochen was secretly happy in his heart, with this stubborn old man on his back, Jia Changchao would not be able to restrain him, the two governments were in agreement, and His Majesty's holy decree was a piece of waste paper.

Wang Yaochen sat for a while, then took his leave and went to contact the others to find out.

The next day, the ministers of the two governments got together again and sat down together, Tang Jie directly proposed the matter of the money supervisor, no matter what, it could not be handed over to the Royal Bank.

Jia Changchao was forced by the old master not to pay attention, so he had to ask for the face of the saint again, this time the news he got was somewhat unexpected, and three days later, a royal meeting was held to debate the issue of the money supervisor.

There are still three days to go, is it a delaying tactic, or what's going on?

Tang Jie flicked his sleeves, "If anyone dares to break the rules of the ancestors, the old man will be the first to refuse." ”

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhen drove to the vertical arch hall, on the left and right, set up futons, and the emperor also wore a wide robe. Seven or eight futons were arranged on the left, from Jia Changchao down, and the ministers of the two prefectures, including Zeng Gongliang, the third envoy, were all present.

On the right, there was only one lonely, and Wang Ningan sat opposite.

The whole scene is so disproportionate that it seems comical.

Wang Ning'an is young, and his official position is also low, and the few people opposite, which of them are all important ministers who are famous all over the world, and they are violent, especially Tang Jie, who blows his beard and glares, and wants to kill Wang Ningan, so it's not terrifying.

Looking at this comparison, Zhao Zhen was also uneasy in his heart, and said in his heart Wang Qing, it depends on your ability.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I called everyone over today to discuss the ownership of the money supervisor." Zhao Zhen said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have been facing the problem of money shortage. I thought that it would be better to transfer the money supervisor to the Royal Bank and take care of its own affairs, but what do you think? ”

"I don't think it's appropriate!"

Living up to expectations, Tang Jie was the first to jump out, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that minting money is a heavy power of the imperial court, how can it be easily granted to a private person!" Why is the Royal Bank in charge? What are the rules for doing it so casually? How can the subjects of the world behave with themselves? ”

Wang Ningan has already understood today's situation, he is completely alone, fighting the east and west mansions, plus a third envoy! The disparity in strength is really huge, but since it has come to this point, there will be no less competition between the two sides in the future, and for a long time, he Wang Ningan will fight alone!

If you want to fight, then fight!

Wang Ningan stood up and smiled slightly, "Lord Tang, you keep saying that it is the rules, and you question why the Royal Bank is in charge of the right to mint coins. Then I will explain to you that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there were only four money prisons, which were subordinate to the money casting supervisor, and the money casting supervisor was a subordinate official of the Shaofu prison. Dare to ask Zhao Wenxiang, what does this young eunuch do? ”

Jia Changchao scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu can't do it if he doesn't speak, why do you always get involved with me?

Jia Changchao didn't want to speak, Zhao Zhen smiled at him and said: "The rules and regulations of the national dynasty, Jia Xianggong is the most familiar with it. ”

"Yes." Jia Chang reluctantly made it difficult, and could only say: "The placement of Shaofu, which began in the Warring States Period, was in charge of craftsmen, and the manor of the monarch, to the Qin and Han dynasties, Shaofu ranked one of the nine Qings, responsible for the mountains and seas, and the taxation of hundreds of craftsmen, to the Eastern Han Dynasty, more authority, even the imperial treasures of the palace are also under the management of the Shaofu Supervisor, Tang followed the previous system, and there are gains and losses, the Shaofu Supervisor is only in charge of the hundred skills of the work, to my Great Song Dynasty, the Shaofu Supervisor is in charge of manufacturing halberds, divine clothes, festivals, sacrificial jade, magic objects, brand seals, Zhu Ji, hundreds of officials worship the law and other things, The coin prison is also under the Shaofu prison. ”

Jia Changchao was honest and said it again.

Wang Ning soothed his palms and laughed, "Jia Xianggong is well-read and strong, it's really amazing." The lower officials carefully speculated and came to the conclusion that the young eunuch was managing the money for His Majesty, and was not under the jurisdiction of the ruler. The courtiers of the past dynasties have usurped the power of the young government supervisors, but they actually stretched out their hands to His Majesty's internal funds, I don't know what the lower officials said, right? ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Tang Jie angrily reprimanded: "Wang Ning'an, you actually dare to instigate the relationship between the monarch and the minister, with sinister intentions, your heart can be punished!" ”

Zhao Zhen heard a little bit of the door at this time, waved his hand and smiled: "Tang Qing doesn't have to be angry, I also feel that it is not wrong for all the wealth and power to be attributed to the three divisions, don't misunderstand Wang Qing." ”

Wang Ningan hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, Wechen has no intention of separating the monarch and ministers, Wechen just wants to say that this state affair and the family affairs of the Son of Heaven cannot be completely confused." In the past dynasties, the Shaofu Supervisor was set up to manage the finances for the Son of Heaven and take care of family affairs, and now the Royal Bank has been added, and the power to mint money belonging to the Shaofu Supervisor has been taken over, and it is also for His Majesty to do things, why do the princes have such a big opinion? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Mountains and rivers and minerals are owned by the Son of Heaven, don't you even leave this thing for Your Majesty? ”

Wang Ning'an kept saying that he didn't want to separate the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but he hinted and made it clear everywhere, which was equivalent to telling Zhao Zhen that the right to mint coins is a private matter of the Son of Heaven, and you can give it to whoever you want, and the intervention of the courtiers is to seize the power of the Son of Heaven.

Don't you literati like to play with words, can you play hooligans!

Wang Ningan spent three days of hard work, thinking carefully, if you want to deal with these guys, you have to be more scoundrels and bastards than them!

Sure enough, when Jia Changchao heard this, he simply closed his eyes, which of you is willing to fight, I will not speak.

Tang Jie and Wang Yaochen were still not convinced, and wanted to refute it.

Fu Bi was worried, Wang Ning'an, this kid was too slippery, and too bad, with Tang Jie's temper, if he really plunged into it and made a collision between the monarch and the minister, it would not be good.

Fu Bi said slowly: "Although Lord Wang is wise, after all, he is young, and some things cannot be generalized. During the Tang Tianbao period, the annual coinage was only 320,000 guan, and the annual coinage of my Great Song Dynasty was as much as 2 million, and tens of millions of catties of copper ingots were consumed. Mining mining, copper smelting, and coinage, each link requires a considerable number of manpower, often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. That's how so many coins can be minted. But even so, my Da Song is still short of money every year. Let me ask, if all the money is transferred to the Royal Bank, can Lord Wang be sure that he will mint all the coins every year? If the shortage of money is made more serious in the hands of Lord Wang, the people's livelihood is withered, and the people are miserable, in the end, if this account is counted on His Majesty's head, will it not damage the royal reputation? ”

The most terrifying thing in this world is people like Fu Bi, a good boy who was once full of ideals, but after he fell, he was more cunning and cunning than anyone else. Fortunately, that Han Qi was not in the court, otherwise it would only be more difficult.

With these few words, he picked himself up and opposed the imprisonment of the money to the Royal Bank, which was worried about the country and the people, for fear that Wang Ningan would mess up, but he was not greedy for the right to mint money.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time and hesitated: "Wang Qing, I am also worried about the rich minister, do you have a way to mint millions of yuan?" ”

"Your Majesty, the copper mines in Dali are under development, and the ore has been transported to the Great Song Dynasty one after another, supplying tens of millions of catties of copper ingots every year without any problems. Moreover, the minister dared to make a military order, as long as the Royal Bank operated, it would not only mint coins in full, but also completely solve the money shortage and go to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Don't be ashamed!"

Tang Jie said angrily: "All the money supervisors minted coins were all entered into the main classes of the imperial court, and these money were used to pay for hundreds of officials, soldiers' salaries, canal workers, material procurement, and so on...... Even if you mint millions of dollars, it will flow into your pocket, what is the benefit of the country? ”

Wang Ning'an's heart suddenly moved, he seemed to overestimate the enemy!

The power of coinage, how terrible is that!

In later generations, people with a little common sense knew that whoever held the power of coinage pinched the lifeblood of a country.

But listening to the words of Fu Bi and Tang Jie and others, he is still limited to how much money can be minted and how to distribute it, which can be described as a mouse's eye!

It cannot be denied that they are all top talents, but in the area of finance, compared to the ordinary students of the Six Arts School, I am afraid they are all inferior.

Wang Ning'an thought of this, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Royal Bank can sign a contract with the imperial court, on the basis of the existing 2 million guan, add 600,000 guan per year, and ten years later, the royal bank will supply the imperial court with 8 million guan of currency every year, I don't know so, can you dispel the doubts of your lords?" ”
