The shore of the land is not the king's land, and the minister of the land is not the king's minister.

Xie Jubo knew very well that he was afraid that his sentence of being rich and invincible deeply stimulated Zhao Yun.

Thinking about it, the emperor of the dignified Song Dynasty sits on the world, and even holds a Lantern Festival celebration for his son, he has to be careful in his calculations, tightening his belt and counting the private money, but only 200,000 taels of silver.

Thinking about it, Xie Jubo sighed, thinking about the industries in the hands of those rich businessmen, the silver in the treasury, and he also wanted to kill these rich businessmen who were not benevolent.

However, thinking of the few people standing behind the rich businessmen who should not be killed enough to be angry, Xie Jubo sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, among the six rich businessmen, a few of them have extremely close contacts with several heirs of the clan, and the other three are dedicated to the emperor, it is precisely because of their help that Lord Jia was able to raise enough food to let the court pass a catastrophe, if it is indiscriminate and arbitrary, I am afraid it will not be reasonable, and those people and Lord Jia are also incompatible."

Xie Jubo carefully reminded Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun gasped in his nostrils, although he was quite unwilling in his heart, he knew that the three wealthy businessmen were very close to the heir family, and if there was no clear reason and evidence, even if they were greedy, they would not be able to do it easily.

"In the future, the imperial court should be used to deal with each other, and such unkind and unrighteous evil merchants should be put an end to. Aren't there three other people who have royal hearts? I'll leave it all to them. ”

"Wechen obeys."

"It's just that those rich merchants are really willing to give the silver to the imperial court?"

The court opened its mouth, the problem cannot be solved if there is less silver, and if there is more silver, even if those people are dedicated to the royal family, I am afraid that they will not be so easy to speak, right?

Businessmen are very profitable, and Zhao Yun is still very clear about this.

"Uh...... This one...... Your Majesty, Lord Jia meant that these silver were not taken by the imperial court for nothing, but in the form of loans, and the imperial court used the profits of the imperial court to use trade and salt and iron as a guarantee, and temporarily borrowed a little silver from these giant merchants, and returned it when the treasury was full. ”

Xie Jubo wiped the cold sweat on his head and explained cautiously.

After daring to be affectionate for a long time, Zhao Yun thought that those rich businessmen were completely selfless to give the court silver, which was naturally the best, but why should others give the silver in their pockets to the court?

Just imagine, even Zhao Yun is grinning with his own private money, not to mention those profit-heavy businessmen.

"Borrowing? Borrow money from those merchants? And use the benefits of salt and iron as a guarantee? If this matter spreads, what kind of face will I have? What is the face of the imperial court? ”

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Yun's words, the corners of Xie Jubo's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak.

If there is no silver, the court may be gone, what is the use of saving face at that time?

But after thinking about it, it seems that Zhao Yun has such an idea, which is not surprising.

The entire Great Song Dynasty belonged to Zhao Yun, and those giant businessmen should have been grateful for the silver they gave to Zhao Yun.

"There is absolutely no way to do this, how can I ask those merchants for some gold and silver? There is no way to do this. ”

Zhao Yun seemed to be convincing Xie Jubo, and he seemed to be convincing himself.

"Your Majesty, the abuse of Jiaozi is actually far more serious than what those adults in the court said. Li Shenzhi said that Jiaozi will be handed over to the merchants to claim, but those merchants will only transfer the disaster of Jiaozi to ordinary people in the end, and will not shake any of their selfish interests, unless those who claim Jiaozi can guarantee that Jiaozi will not be used, but how is this possible? In fact, they wish that the court would have more friends. ”

Xie Jubo thought about it and said.

"Would you like to have more friends? Doesn't it mean that no one wants to use Jiaozi? ”

Zhao Yun wondered.

"Jiaozi is just that ordinary people don't want to use it. No matter how the imperial court issued Jiaozi, and how Jiaozi was inferior to papyrus, it could not harm the interests of any businessman. In the face of ordinary people, those merchants tried their best to lower the value of Jiaozi, and got Jiaozi from ordinary people with a fraction of silver or even a few pennies of copper, and on the other hand, they could exchange the same amount of Jiaozi from the imperial court for the same amount of silver. No matter how many Jiaozi are issued by the imperial court, how can it hurt them? In the end, it can only be that the wealth that ordinary people have accumulated with great difficulty is squeezed by those rich businessmen and tycoons, but it is the prestige of the imperial court that is damaged. ”

"The imperial court can also reclaim Jiaozi with the same amount of money as the market price."

“……”

Xie Jubo rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, if the imperial court issues Jiaozi and takes back Jiaozi with silver far below the denomination of Jiaozi, do you think it makes sense for the imperial court to issue Jiaozi without issuing Jiaozi?"

"How is it pointless?"

"Your Majesty, at that time, everyone knew that the imperial court deliberately exchanged worthless Jiaozi for silver, not only ordinary people would not use Jiaozi, but those rich businessmen and giants would not be able to use Jiaozi, why did the imperial court waste so much silver to do that useless work? What's more, the country does not compete with the people for profit, if the court does this, it is not only to compete with the people for profit, it is simply to take it by force, at that time, I am afraid that without the invasion of the Mongols, my Great Song Dynasty itself will be in chaos first. ”

Xie Jubo explained helplessly.

Even if Zhao Yun no longer understands these basic economics, Xie Jubo can understand what he said so bluntly at the moment.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jia said that it is really helpless to borrow money from those giant businessmen who are willing to serve the emperor, in fact, there is also some silver in the City Bank, but those silver Lord Jia has other uses, and it only takes a year, and the emperor no longer has to worry about the silver. Moreover, the silver in the Bank of the City Shipping Division, presumably the emperor has also heard of it, is all stored in the City Shipping Division by the wealthy nobles in Beijing, and Lord Jia also has to calculate interest on those people on a monthly basis.

This is also a loan, but the name of the loan has been changed. If the emperor really didn't want to borrow the silver of those giant merchants, Lord Jia could also give the silver in the bank of the city to the emperor first, but Lord Jia said that in this way, if the yamen of the city port division wants to produce benefits, that is, the time to harvest the silver, it will have to be postponed for at least one year.

The emperor, Weichen thought that the emperor could be regarded as unaware of the money in the mansion of those giant businessmen who were willing to serve the emperor, as long as Weichen did not say it, those giant businessmen would not publicize such secret things everywhere, but they did not know that the whole world was not the king's land, and the emperor was willing to borrow it, rather than forcibly accepting it, which was already a great grace. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun, who was sad and sad, was a little moved, how could Xie Jubo not know the truth of striking while the iron was hot, and he was kind and seductive.

"Jiaozi really can't be sent?"

"Jiaozi really can't be sent anymore, Your Majesty. Not only can Jiaozi be issued again, but after the opening of the dynasty, Weichen will also ask the emperor to take back the right to spontaneously hand over children from all walks of life! ”

Xie Jubo is categorical.

"I don't know anything?"

"The emperor naturally doesn't know anything, everything is made by Weichen himself."

"Those people won't say it?"

"Those people will never be able to cut off their own money, Your Majesty."

"How much money are they willing to pay? How is interest calculated?"

"Two million taels of silver is no problem, there is no interest this time, those people's hearts are for the emperor."

"Two million taels, ah......"

Zhao Yun dragged out his voice, shook his head, got up and left.

"The Emperor's ......"

Xie Jubo was anxious by Zhao Yun's headless and brainless movements.

"I don't know about this matter, the money is all drawn from the city department and given by Shi Xian."

Zhao Yun didn't look back, and his voice came from afar.

"Your Majesty, you must not put the source of the silver on Lord Jia."

Xie Jubo hurried two steps to catch up with Zhao Yun and said in a low voice.

"Why is that?"

Zhao Yun turned around, a little inexplicable.

Zhao Yun naturally has no objections to pushing the boat down the river to add some credit to Jia Nidao, not to mention, this itself is Jia Nidao's credit.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jia has left Lin'an City, but how many people in the court have malicious intentions towards Lord Jia? If those people knew that Lord Jia had transferred the silver of the City Boss Division to the emperor, they were afraid that at most an hour, the Mansion of the City Boss Bank in Lin'an would be broken. ”

"Business comes to the door, isn't it?"

"My emperor, those people will come to the door to deliver silver to Lord Jia's City Bank? As long as Lord Jia's bank can't cash the silver in the bank, then Lord Jia's reputation that he has saved for the city will be ruined.

The emperor thought about it, and you deposited the silver in the city bank and exchanged it for a few silver bills. However, when you want to exchange the silver for cash with the silver ticket and get it back, but the City Bank says that the silver ticket cannot be cashed or there is no silver to cash, will you deposit the silver in the City Bank in the future? ”

"Since I can't cash back my money, I naturally won't save it anymore ......"

Zhao Yun looked at Xie Jubo directly, and Xie Jubo nodded heavily.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already figured out the next series of consequences.

The City Ship Bank is Jia Rudao's first big fanfare, which attracted countless rumors at that time, once the signboard of the City Ship Bank is smashed, then there is no need to think about what consequences the entire City Ship Division Yamen will face. I'm afraid that Jia Nidao has not yet arrived in Guangzhou, and countless attacks have already reached Zhao Yun's case.

The Yamen of the City Bo Division has fallen, can Jia Rudao end well? Can he Zhao Yun end up well?

There was an attack on the enemy before, and this time I am afraid that those people can also fabricate the crime of bullying the king and punishing the nine clans.

Zhao Yun sighed.

"Then why did Aiqing say that she would continue to issue Jiaozi?"

Then Zhao Yun changed his words, but he asked another question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

It was Xie Jubo himself who said in Duanming Hall that there was only one way, and that was to continue to issue Jiaozi, but it was also him Xie Jubo who resolutely opposed the issuance of Jiaozi later.

"This ...... Actually, what does Master Jia mean? ”

Xie Jubo hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"What does Shixian mean?"

Zhao Yun was shocked, and his eyes rolled.

"The minister doesn't know why Lord Jia is like this."

Xie Jubo hurriedly cleared up the relationship, Jia Yidao had already told him, if Zhao Yun asked him why he was inconsistent, he could directly say what he meant. Therefore, Xie Jubo does not have a little psychological burden.

"It's not easy to be a teacher."

Zhao Yun looked up speechlessly and sighed.

Xie Jubo thought so.

Which one is not easy, Xie Jubo doesn't know.

"Then I'll leave this matter to Aiqing, I don't know anything, and I don't need to take out my internal money, right?"

"Weichen obeys the order, the emperor has worked hard for my Great Song Dynasty, how dare the emperor's ministers covet it? As for the Lantern Festival, the emperor can do whatever he wants. ”
