Chapter 300: This is the Opportunity
When Ye Li and Xiao Gui were escorted to Hezhou, where Tongchuan Fu Road belongs, Jia Nidao in the capital introduced a new policy after the implementation of the meridian push and exclusion law, that is, to create a silver pass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The so-called more bank-making customs, to put it more bluntly, is to exchange money, exchanging new currency for currency circulating in the market.
Jia Rudao believes that the reason why the price of the Great Song Dynasty is expensive is because there are too many jiaozi circulating in the market, and because of the continuous depreciation of jiaozi, the price of goods is getting higher and higher, and even affects the lives of officials in the DPRK and China.
Not to mention whether this idea is practical or not, and whether it can reverse the situation of soaring prices and the depreciation of Jiaozi in the Great Song Dynasty, such a bold move will cause a lot of turmoil.
Jia Rudao did it very thoroughly, announcing that the newly issued currency is called the gold and silver customs, and the value of the gold and silver customs is relatively high, and the seventeen worlds of the previous issuance will stop using and will be invalid, and the eighteen worlds will be exchanged for the silver customs at a ratio of three to one, that is to say, the eighteen worlds will be able to exchange for the silver customs with the same value.
This is tantamount to directly plundering the wealth of ordinary people.
Everyone knows that the officials in the court will not collect the Huizi, whether it is the seventeenth Huizi or the eighteenth world Huizi, the vast majority of the officials are stored in gold, silver and copper coins, these hard currencies are not depreciated, and ordinary people, helplessly, can only collect the seventeenth Huizi and the eighteenth Huizi used on the market, a few years ago the imperial court was gradually recovering the seventeenth Huizi, to say that the seventeenth Huizi missing in the folk is not very many, but the eighteen Huizi in circulation, the number is huge.
Jia Rudao carried out a more silver pass, a light holy decree, and the people lost two-thirds of their wealth.
The vast majority of this wealth flowed into the pockets of officials and gentry and wealthy households, and the government did not get much.
The implementation of the law of pushing and arranging the meridian boundary is already a defeating move, and forcibly pushing open the silver pass is even more of a draw, so that the Great Song Dynasty court has almost lost all opportunities for development.
Chengdu Fucheng, the system of the yamen.
Wu Shaogang looked very comfortable, looking at the paperwork in his hand while gently shaking his legs.
When Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming entered the room, Wu Shaogang put down the paperwork in his hand and said with a smile.
"Kublai Khan has moved the capital to Zhongdu, it seems that he is ready to do a big job, but unfortunately Zhang Rou is not angry, the march has been almost a month, and he has not arrived in Baoji, but Zhang Tingrui of Baoji is impatient."
Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming both laughed.
Huang Jiaming's identity is clear, he is already the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, and Hao Jing's identity is also clear, he is Wu Shaogang's staff.
"My lord, my subordinates think that Zhang Rou is still self-aware and knows that the enemy is no match for the imperial army in Hezhou, so he has adopted a delaying method to prevent Kublai Khan from being concerned about the relocation of the capital, and he will not be able to control him for a while."
After Hao Jing finished speaking, Huang Jiaming followed and spoke.
"My lord, Zhang Rou's move to let his family leave Kaiping City is worth paying attention to, and I am afraid that Zhang Rou was forced to have no choice but to take action."
Wu Shaogang looked at the two and spoke again.
"Kublai Khan should have paid attention to the Han people around him, the Mongolian kingdom under his command has grown to the point where it is today, and it is inseparable from the advice of many Han people, but unfortunately, Kublai Khan is a Mongolian after all, and he still despises and looks down on the Han people in his heart, and the reuse of the Han people is just a use, if the Mongolian court plays a triumphant song and advances by leaps and bounds, Zhang Rou and other Han people will have a better life, but if they encounter difficulties, the Han people in the Mongolian court will not have much way out."
Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang paused slightly.
"If Zhang Rou defects to my Hezhou Imperial Army, how do you think you should treat it."
Hao Jing looked at Huang Jiaming and nodded affirmatively.
"The subordinates thought that they should be recruited, and they should be widely publicized, so as to disintegrate the Han people around Kublai Khan, and also make Kublai Khan have more suspicion and calculation of the Han people."
"That's right, we have analyzed it a few days ago, it seems that Mr. Hao is doing things by my side, and the stimulation of Kublai Khan is too great, so that he has made an uncalm decision, and Kublai Khan doesn't want to think about it, if all the Han people around him leave, or if he is punished, how much ability he still has to compete with my Great Song Dynasty...
Before Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Hao Jing spoke again.
"The subordinates think that what the lord said is wrong, the Great Song Dynasty is definitely not Kublai Khan's opponent, and Kublai Khan will not be able to compete with the adult."
This time, Wu Shaogang was not polite, and picked up the other two documents on the table.
"Jia seems to be a person, I don't know how to say it, as the right prime minister, privy envoy, control the power of the DPRK, do anything, you need to think carefully, headache doctor head and foot pain, this kind of practice will only make the situation worse, the implementation of the meridian push and row law, it is already very naïve, and now it is even more spread out to create a silver pass, it is simply a child's play to treat the government as a child's play."
In terms of age, Jia Nidao is more than a generation older than Wu Shaogang, and in terms of qualifications, Jia Nidao is far ahead, but when Wu Shaogang said these words, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming were not surprised.
"Exploiting the wealth of the people, making the people more and more impoverished, and hating the government even more, this is not self-destruction, I don't know or don't care about the suffering of the people, I just want to maintain the operation of the court, and rob the people's money without scruples, I am afraid that I have completely lost the hearts of the people, I dare to say that once Kublai Khan breaks through Xiangyang or Lianghuai, and wants to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, the people don't care at all, maybe they will support Kublai Khan."
Hao Jing let out a long sigh, this sentence pierced his heart, as a Han person, and a learned and capable Han person, defecting to the Mongolian court, this is not a good thing, but this is also a helpless move, look at the Great Song Dynasty court, the officials are deceitful, all they think of is their own interests, not to mention that they care about the life and death of the people, even the gradual fall of the country, it doesn't matter, in such a court, what else can be done.
Think about Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Yao Shu and others, who are also famous and capable, why they were all used by Kublai Khan, even if they were calculated and neglected, they did not choose to leave, because they had nowhere to go.
Hao Jing knows very well that Wu Shaogang's fame is not big enough, those Han people who work in the Mongolian court see the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes, and they are also concerned about the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty on weekdays, and they will not pay special attention to Wu Shaogang.
Hao Jing had a feeling that many Han people in the Mongolian court would sooner or later defect to Wu Shaogang's command.
And in the future, under the command of Wu Shaogang, there will not only be Han Chinese, but also Mongols, Semu people and even Persians, etc., Wu Shaogang's mind is not comparable to Kublai Khan.
The longer he spent by Wu Shaogang's side, the more Hao Jing felt it, he didn't understand why Wu Shaogang had such wisdom and mind, and he had an extraordinary attraction at a young age, Hao Jing saw Tongchuan Mansion Road grow stronger, and also experienced the road from stability to development in Chengdu Mansion Road and other places, it can be said that today's Sichuan and Yunnan and other places, the pace of development is very fast, the people live and work in peace and contentment, local stability, financial resources continue to strengthen, and the Hezhou Imperial Army, Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army and Jinzhou Imperial Army, It's also stronger.
According to Hao Jing's understanding, most of the people in Sichuan and Yunnan are afraid that there is no emperor and the court in their minds, and they support Wu Shaogang and the local government.
"My lord, my subordinates feel that this is an opportunity, my subordinates used to do things by Kublai Khan's side, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Yao Shu, including Shi Tianze and others, all have very good abilities, these people defected to Kublai Khan's side, not completely willingly, if the adults think it is feasible, the subordinates find a way to let them come to Sichuan...
Huang Jiaming's face changed slightly, Hao Jing's words were too bold, Zhang Wenqian and others are indeed capable, but who knows if they will really return to their hearts and honestly do things for Wu Shaogang.
Wu Shaogang's face became a little more serious, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke.
"Mr. Hao, your idea is good, it is feasible in the future, but it is not right now, the opportunity is not yet ripe, such a matter of absorbing talents, don't be in a hurry, otherwise it will backfire, since Zhang Rou is already transferring his family, then let's wait and see, see what kind of choice Zhang Rou will make after arriving in Baoji, if Zhang Rou chooses to surrender, at that time, Mr. Hao will persuade Zhang Wenqian and others, and the effect will be much stronger."
Hao Jing nodded.
Huang Jiaming followed and spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates think that there are two people available."
"Governor Huang, you're talking about Ye Li and Xiao Gui, who were matched."
"My lord is like a god, and it is these two people that my subordinates are talking about, they are not afraid of power, and their ambitions are commendable."
"Well, it's indeed available, but it still needs to be sharpened, ambition is commendable on the one hand, but you also have to know how to turn around, and challenge the prime minister of the dynasty as a son, this is obviously looking for death, I think so, let Ye Li and Xiao Gui go to Lizhou West Road, join the Hezhou Imperial Army, temper and sharpen, if the two can understand, it is not too late for them to come to Chengdu at that time."
At the beginning of October, it is already the season of early winter.
Wu Shao was just about to leave Chengdu Fucheng and go to Lizhou West Road.
The 30,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army of Hezhou led by Cai Siwei have secretly left Chengdu Mansion and headed for the West Road of Lizhou, their task is of course to completely defeat the invading Mongol Tartars, and the reason why Wu Shaogang is ready to go in person is because of a lot of information obtained by the Intelligence Bureau.
Before Wu Shaogang left, he repeatedly instructed that the silver customs issued by the imperial court would not be implemented in Sichuan and Yunnan. (To be continued.) )
