Ma Qiang shook his head and said, "It's not easy, where copper plates are exchanged for silver, there are big traders, big businessmen or official businessmen, and there are generally rules in this." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info copper plate is exchanged for silver at the official price of 1,000 wen for one tael, and silver for copper plate is 6 or 700 wen. There is a problem here, but this is the rule of the industry, young master, but what's the problem? Ma Qiang also asked.

"Questions? I just want to understand why it is: money is expensive, silver is cheap? Why is this happening? Lin Yuzhi felt that there must be a secret in it that he didn't know.

Just like his own estimate, the people could not exchange silver, so they could only pay taxes with copper plates to offset the silver, and the taxes paid by the magistrates to the treasury were silver. And the imperial court collects the cash tax, and this profit cannot reach the imperial court, and the interests are all in the people who operate this matter.

I'm afraid this is not the situation of one state and one county, it is the unspoken rule of each local government!

Lin Yuzhi stood up and sat down, took the herbal tea and drank it.

Before the problem was provoked, everyone knew it, but no one cared about it or mentioned it, and the interests in it were too big.

After Lin Yuzhi knew about this, he thought about it all the way and kept thinking about it.

Lin Yuzhi wanted to take care of this matter himself, if he hadn't gone to the field today, hadn't seen Tian Lao and the others, and hadn't been stared at by a pair of eyes, he might have hesitated. But when I came back from the field today, I felt that I could not hesitate any longer. This matter concerns the interests of millions of people in the world, and it is beneficial to this group of silent officials. Although it is a bit false to think in this way, but looking at those farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, we can't help but think like this.

What are you here for? What can be left?

The people are the silent lambs, and the officials are the rich and unkind officials.

Lin Yuzhi turned the teacup, his eyes darkened.

It's hard! It's not easy!

At least the most important thing is that Dayong Tianzi, Lin Yuzhi doesn't understand. Whether this matter can change the status quo is the key to the emperor. It is the quickest way for the emperor to regulate and control the policy and change the disadvantages of copper and silver trading. However, it is not easy to implement this method, because it touches the interests of a group of officials, and whether the emperor can withstand the pressure and whether he can implement it by thunderous means requires determination and courage.

"Ma Qiang, you go down and get busy first, I'll rest here by myself." Lin Yuzhi waved his hand to let Ma Qiang go down and get busy, and then slowly sort out the matter himself.

Ma Qiang was a little confused, but he still said obediently, "Hey, the little one goes to the next room, you can call the little one if you have an order." I answered the door and went down.

Lin Yu's hand supported his head and continued to think. In the absence of a clear charter, you should not talk to others about this matter at will, and you should not conspire with others at will on confidential matters!

If you don't follow the emperor's path, then you have to start with silver, and the people can't exchange it for silver, so they must pay copper coins and pay them at the official price. This will allow the people to exchange for silver, which is afraid that it will be necessary to operate the ticket number of the commercial bank, which will be slow, which is equivalent to adjusting finance, which will be more difficult and will take more time.

As for which of these two roads to take and how to go, it needs to be carefully planned.

Lin Yuzhi was in the backyard of the carpentry workshop, resting for an hour, and then Lin Yuzhi called Ma Qiang in.

"How many people are inquiring about the news now?" Lin Yuzhi asked.

This Ma Qiang naturally knew, and immediately said, "There are only twelve people now, and the others have gone to the workshop, the grange, and some have gone to sea." However, the rest of these people are all people who like to explore news everywhere, and they are also clever and familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital. The young master has something to do, just give orders. ”

"Well, well, it's nothing else, it's still that the silver is cheap and expensive, but the people can't redeem the silver. Let them first let them understand this matter alone, and see how the copper coins and silver are circulated among these merchants, but what is the point? As long as it is related to this money, it is solved. You have collected the news, no matter what it is, come back to me at the academy. Lin Yuzhi handed over the matter to Ma Qiang.

"Yes, young master, I'll arrange for them to do it when I go down in a while." Ma Qiang thinks this is simple and not difficult to do.

"Oh, by the way, keep a low profile and don't let others notice that someone is trying to probe around." Lin Yuzhi emphasized again.

"Yes, young master, the little one has been written down." Ma Qiang also replied solemnly.

Lin Yuzhi saw that the sun was about to set, and Ma Qiang took him to meet Chen Shun and Wu Dahai, the two stewards of the carpentry workshop. Now they are in charge of all the production affairs of the carpentry workshop.

The current carpentry workshop has developed in an increasingly large scale, and Qian Liuzi's kid originally let him run the business, but he didn't want him to run away, so he chased Zhao San to the sea, this uneasy guy.

"Can the workshop be self-sufficient and feed everyone now?" Lin Yuzhi's words were asked by Ma Qiang.

"Yes, the workshop has started until now, and there is a surplus of more than 20 taels, hehe, less is less, but this is not what everyone didn't know before, and now everyone has learned the craft of making furniture well, and it will get better and better in the future." Ma Qiang explained one or two on his behalf, this workshop only earns this amount of silver, and it is a little embarrassing to think about it, and a little embarrassed to say it.

"Well, it's okay, it's not bad, business is getting better and better. For the workers in the workshop, do they all give the moon silver now? "Monthly silver still has to be given, there is money, it is an incentive mechanism, and it is more difficult to work.

"Yes, yes, the monthly money of half a tael of silver per person per month, everyone is happy, where you can think of the moon silver, and you are grateful for the kindness of the young master." This guy, since he recommended them to the young master, but he brought them to the blessed nest, Ma Qiang nodded and praised.

"Well, that's fine, everyone follows me, and we always have to let everyone get over as much as possible. Everyone's life will get better and better in the future. "I don't think how much money they can make, it's okay to be able to support themselves, it's a start.

"Now that Qian Liuzi is out, you will look for people again, the business will continue to expand, not be satisfied with the status quo, carpentry work must continue to innovate, the quality must be guaranteed, and the brand foundation will be laid from the beginning." Although they can't make much money, Lin Yuzhi still hopes that they can do a good job, so that they can accommodate more people.

"Hey, the little ones have been noted, and there are indeed a few clever ones, and they will be cultivated well." Ma Qiang has now completely relaxed, without the tension just now, and he is more comfortable responding.

Lin Yuzhi arranged everything properly, and then instructed Ma Qiang again to let them carefully investigate the matter of copper and silver.

That is, he returned with thirteen carriages, had dinner in a small restaurant outside, and returned to Yuelu Academy.
