"Why did you resign from your position as a scholar?"

"Hasn't Your Majesty heard any rumors lately?"

"I'm not a fool, and I certainly won't believe those words that slander you. Qing's loyalty to me is unmatched! ”

"Your Majesty is naturally holy, but others may not think so......"

"Moreover, you are just a servant and a servant, and you are not a high-ranking official with real power."

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. It is a great sin to favor God's grace alone. What's more, the minister felt that it was time to form the White Guard, and it was indeed a bit weak to be appointed to the post of Shang Shu's servant, so he asked His Majesty for permission. ”

“…… Well, in that case, I won't force you anymore. Then who can succeed the post of Shang Shufu? ”

Yang ...... Uh, His Majesty Fu Wei ruling. ”

Liu Xie said with some dissatisfaction: "I just asked for your opinion, and I didn't say that I must listen to you!" ”

Chu Yi smiled apologetically: "Yang Dezu can use it, although he is still young, but after all, he is a descendant of the Yang family." In this way, Juntian at least represents an attitude of His Majesty that the family will still be appointed. ”

"Well, then use him. When will your whitecoat be assembled? ”

"Ordinary white guards, it can be done in a month. But the real mainstay of this is at least three months or even half a year to train. ”

"Does anyone else know about this white guard?"

Chu Yi said flatly: "Except for His Majesty and the ministers, only Shangshu Ling Xun Wenruo knows about this matter at present. ”

Liu Xie thought for a while: "Well, it's best for the Taiwei and the Che Cavalry General to let them know." ”

“…… Naturally, you can, but Lord Taiwei has been seriously ill recently, so let's wait until he recovers and let the minister tell him. ”

Liu Xie nodded, and there was a hint of excitement on his face: "By the way, I heard this morning that Guan Yunchang found a gold mine. In this way, should we be free of worries about the financial aspects of Qingzhou! ”

Chu Yi shook his head and said: "Gold is not a real currency, even if gold is mined, it is difficult to circulate it as wealth at will. In the short term, I am afraid that it will not be of much help, and it is still very troublesome to really solve the financial problem by relying only on gold. ”

In fact, gold should also belong to the currency, according to the "Historical Records and Pingzhun Book", gold belongs to the "upper currency", and bronze belongs to the "lower currency".

However, under normal circumstances, the currency in private circulation is only five baht coins minted in copper, and gold is rarely used as currency.

It is recorded in the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle" that gold weighs one catty and is worth ten thousand dollars. Gold is too valuable for ordinary families to afford.

Gold is scarce and precious, so their collection value is greater than its practical value, like some wealthy families, they will pursue gold and jade as a luxury product.

For example, the Zhen family in Jizhou is a good example, in the troubled times, they used grain to buy a large amount of gold, silver, pearls and jade to satisfy their desire for these luxuries.

Liu Xie's little face wrinkled: "Then, what should I do?" Is there any way to do it? ”

Qingzhou is now looting because of the yellow scarves, and the previous Qingzhou assassins have not done anything, so after appeasing the displaced people, the Qingzhou treasury is now very empty.

A few days ago, Zhu Jun and Zhang Fei attacked Haoqiang, but confiscated a lot of property, but it was only a temporary relief.

If it is said that the tax increase to Qingzhou can solve the financial problem, and the princes everywhere are doing this in the troubled times. But in this way, many people will starve to death.

“…… It is possible to mint gold five baht, and clearly stipulate the exchange ratio between it and ordinary five baht coins, so that it can be circulated. Chu Yi was silent for a while and spoke.

In fact, the golden five baht was minted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but this purpose was to reward some soldiers who had won military merits, not for circulation.

A pound of gold can be worth 10,000 yuan, but it is too expensive for ordinary people to use. If you use gold to make five baht coins, the weight is lighter, and the natural value of the currency is much smaller, as long as the prescribed exchange ratio is reasonable, it can also be accepted by the common people. As for those gentry and heroes, they will naturally be happy to use five baht to show off their wealth.

It's just that in this way, it's a little sorry for the common people. The imperial court used the gold buried in the ground to exchange the money in the hands of the common people, which was bound to cause a certain degree of inflation.

But gold is also expensive after all, so as long as it can be strictly controlled, then the impact should not be too great. Compared with Liu Ba's instigation of Liu Bei to use a large denomination of copper plate money, it is countless times more conscientious.

When Liu Xie heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Good way!" Aiqing is really smart! ”

"It's just that gold is expensive because it's scarce. Therefore, even if the gold mine is mined, it cannot be put into use on a large scale...... But that's something to think about in the future. It's just the law of Juntian, how did Your Majesty think about it? ”

Liu Xie's face was a little hesitant: "I think that the Juntian system mentioned by Aiqing is very good, but a few days ago, Zhu Gongwei and Huangfu Yizhen both said that the so-called Juntian system is similar to the Jingtian system, and it has been too long, and Wang Mang forcibly used it to lead to its demise......"

"The Juntian system is not a well-field system, let alone a wangtian system. Moreover, the Wang Tian system was abolished after only three years of implementation, how can Wang Mang's defeat be said to be the reason for the Wang Tian system? Taiwei and Che Cavalry General are good at Zhirong, but when it comes to internal affairs, I am afraid that it is their shortcoming. Chu Yi shook his head.

But even so, how could the world's wealthy families willingly hand over the land? I'm afraid there will be rebellion and disobedience......"

Chu Yi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Is this what the Tai Lieutenant and the Che Cavalry General told Your Majesty?" Or did Xun Zhongyu tell His Majesty? ”

Liu Xie shook his head: "I came up with it myself." ”

"Your Majesty is really gifted and intelligent." The smile on Chu Yi's face was a little complicated, "It's just that this method of equalizing the fields has already given a lot of preferential treatment to the family heroes, not only can they keep five times the fields of ordinary people, but even after they hand over the fields, they can also recommend one person in the family to be an official in another county, so the resistance must be much smaller." ”

"And if you want to succeed in the work of the three kings, naturally everything will not go well. When Gaozu conquered the world, the resistance was much greater than now. What's more, we are only trying in one state now, and even if we fail, there is a chance to start again. But if it succeeds, then no one will starve to death in Luye, and there will be no more tragedy of cannibalism, please think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Liu Xie was stunned, remembering the scene he saw in the group of rogues that night, someone was boiling tree bark in an urn, and someone dug up something fishy and pungent in the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. Their faces were covered in mud, and their eyes were hollow and frightened.

"Good, good! Well, give it a try. Liu Xie said fiercely on his face. [.]
