The court meeting quarreled for two days, but there was no result, and Zhenzong Zhao Heng did not expect that the first major event he encountered after he ascended the throne actually caused a split in the court.

This phenomenon is a headache for Zhao Heng, who does not have much to govern and operate alone, and it is obvious that he has not yet learned the so-called imperial art.

However, on the third day of the court, the problem of the whole court meeting was solved. Because the money village actually made a wish to Kaifeng Mansion, hoping to face the saint.

This made Zhao Heng a little unexpected, this is not a big deal for the civilians to face the saint. But it is not common for a businessman without any title to want to face a saint.

Being forced to this point by businessmen, at least for the first time in the decades since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, this made the face of the court a little unbearable, but what if it couldn't hang up, now it is clear that the money village intends to show favor to the court, so this kind of face can't be hung up.

Since the imperial court needed it, Feng Yun got the opportunity to face the saint, and this opportunity to face the saint was not as simple as he thought. Since the opinions of the imperial court were quite different on this matter, the test placed in front of Feng Yun was not just as simple as convincing Zhao Heng.

Sure enough, when he came to the court, he was faced with a flood of reproaches from the Restrictionists.

"Feng Yun, are you guilty?"

"Feng Yun, do you know that your Qian Zhuang has seriously endangered the peace of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Feng Yun, do you know that this money village is a moth living inside the Great Song Dynasty?"

The list goes on and on. But it really doesn't sound like a word is above the point, because these officials can't get to the point.

None of the things Qian Zhuang did violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and Feng Yun was very confident here. The Great Song Dynasty only had a corresponding law on the counterfeiting of copper coins, but it did not say that gold coins could not be minted without permission.

The reason why Zhao Weiji set up a seemingly useless law course when he established Tsinghua Academy was that when his interests conflicted with the imperial court, someone could help him study the criminal laws of the entire Great Song Dynasty, so as to exploit the loopholes in the law.

Therefore, Feng Yun, who had the bottom in his heart, calmly began to refute these restrictive factions.

"I don't think any of the things I did in this money bank violated any of the Great Song Dynasty criminal laws. The Great Song Criminal Law didn't say that you can't do this kind of money business, right?

Besides, where are we endangering the Great Song Dynasty, we are helping the Great Song Dynasty.

The commerce of the Great Song Dynasty is very developed today, but there are often merchants carrying a large number of copper coins to travel through mountains and rivers to trade, which is not safe, but also very tiring, and our money village is created to help these merchants to facilitate them. Once it is convenient for merchants, then they will be able to do more business, and they will be able to bring more taxes to the imperial court.

We have indirectly helped the imperial court by doing this, so why do we still say that we are moths of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Feng Yun's words made those restrictive factions speechless, because these ministers were not confused, and they knew that the current treasury revenue of the Great Song Dynasty was more dependent on commercial taxes to maintain.

If it were to rely solely on land tax and poll tax, with the current size of the army and the scale of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, it would have been impossible to maintain it for a long time.

However, they still firmly believe that although this money bank was very helpful to the Great Song Dynasty for a while, it must have been very harmful for a long time, because now they have controlled a large amount of cash.

So someone stood up again: "Feng Yun, your money bank is now absorbing a large amount of cash, isn't it deliberately making the imperial court have to accept your gold coins and bronze tickets as a means of settlement, what are you not controlling the imperial court in disguise?" ”

Feng Yun didn't care about such accusations, because he also had a way to deal with it, and it could even be said that he came here today to solve this matter.

"In this matter, I hope to be able to reach an agreement with the imperial court, that we will sell the gold coins and copper tickets in the name of the imperial court, and in exchange we will provide the imperial court with full accounting details and a large interest-free loan."

"Interest-free loans? What does that mean? Zhao Heng, who heard this word for the first time, became very interested, because this word was actually used by Zhao Weiji from the professional terms of later generations.

"Back to Your Majesty, the meaning of an interest-free loan is that when the imperial court needs a large amount of money for turnover at any time, the money bank can lend the money to the imperial court at any time, and the imperial court does not need to pay any interest, and the repayment time can also have a long cycle."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire court, this money village was big enough, and actually wanted to lend money to the court, are they really rich enough to rival the country?

In fact, it is not that Qian Zhuang can be rich at all, but Zhao Weiji taught them to use a set of basic tricks of later banks, that is, those deposits that no one uses can actually be used for investment or lending.

The same principle can also be used here in the bank, as long as there is no large-scale run, there will always be a large amount of copper coins in the bank that can be used, because the market flow space of this copper coin is temporarily replaced by copper tickets, so it is equivalent to the same money can be used in two places at the same time.

In this way, this cash that gathers a large number of people's savings can naturally alleviate the temporary needs of the imperial court, so it is not that Qian Zhuang is rich and rivals the country, but that Qian Zhuang gathers the people's money together.

But the imperial court did not know this, and Qian Zhuang would not let the imperial court know, in fact, showing a posture of being rich and rivaling the country in front of the imperial court was also part of Zhao Weiji's plan. After all, having such a large asset is also a deterrent to the imperial court.

And Zhao Weiji believes that the Zhao Song royal family will not do Zhu Yuanzhang's kind of hatred of the rich, so Shen Wansan's fate is unlikely to happen to Qian Zhuang.

Feng Yun was very satisfied with the reaction of the courtiers present, as Zhao Weiji said in the letter, this reaction would lay a good foundation for subsequent negotiations.

Indeed, even Zhenzong Zhao Heng was shocked by Feng Yun's wild words. Because Zhenzong knew that if there was really a time when the imperial court needed external money to get through, then this money would definitely not be a small number.

But at the same time, Zhenzong was also attracted by Feng Yun's proposal, because if he could really have this money, it would be a great benefit to the Great Song Dynasty, both the court and the people.

Because if the imperial court really needed extra money, there were only two ways to solve it in the past, either to mint new copper coins, or to increase taxes.

However, both methods will cause great harm to the people, and now with this money, the imperial court can survive the crisis without new copper coins or tax increases. In this way, the people also avoid an unnecessary plunder, and have the best of both worlds.

And there is another advantage, that is, you don't have to pay any interest to repay the money, you can borrow as much as you want, and not only that, but you don't have to rush to repay the money.

All of these attracted Zhao Heng and he couldn't wait to agree to Feng Yun's conditions immediately, but Zhao Heng quickly calmed down.

There is a way to be diligent in doing nothing, and it is either a traitor or a thief. With such favorable conditions, and also giving gold coins and bronze tickets to the imperial court superintendent, such a good thing is really like pie in the sky, which can't help but make Zhao Heng a little more vigilant.

But what Zhao Heng didn't expect was that Qian Zhuang didn't have any other requirements, and Zhao Heng couldn't figure out what the reason was.

In his thoughts, once the imperial court grasps the supervision and nominal ownership of the gold coin, the money will be controlled by the imperial court in the future, which is undoubted, don't look at the ownership is only nominal.

However, as long as there is nominal ownership, is it not easy to want the actual one later? As long as the division is famous, with the strength of the imperial court, it will not be easy to handle things in the future?

Not only Zhao Heng thought so, but even the ministers of the original restricted faction also thought so, since you Qian Zhuang has made a compromise, then isn't everything left for the imperial court to be captured?

However, there is a way to have policies and countermeasures, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. The court thinks so, the problem is that Zhao Weiji will not give the court a chance to really intervene in Qianzhuang, because what Zhao Weiji wants to do next with Qianzhuang The court doesn't know how to intervene.

As for the ministers who used to oppose the restrictionists, now the money bank will still exist, and everything will be in a peaceful transition, so they will not raise any objections, anyway, as long as the money bank can survive, and the business carried out by the money bank continues, their interests will not be harmed in any way.

In this way, an agreement that everyone is happy with has been reached, but after this agreement is reached, it is the Qian Zhuang and Zhao Weiji behind the Qian Zhuang who really profits.

Because today's money village is not only not a thorn in the side of the imperial court, but is under the umbrella of the imperial court. As for the issue of accounting, Zhao Weiji had another set of bookkeeping methods to hand over to Feng Yun, and the imperial court didn't want to see any problems from the account books.

Qian Zhuang is just a foreshadowing for the return to the Central Plains in the future, and the real role at this time cannot be fully reflected.

However, after the Qianzhuang matter is resolved, our story should also return to Zhao Weiji, who made something new in Xinhua City, and the appearance of this thing made Zhao Weiji's Xinhua City really begin to surpass this era.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this thing that Zhao Weiji can return to the Central Plains with the strongest attitude in the near future according to the plan, and at that time he will have no one to restrict.

This thing is a musket, and this is not an ordinary musket, this is a musket that changes the world.
