Sang Hongyang has a reputation for being good at mental arithmetic, and many merchants in Chang'an City will ask him to take inventory of the goods of the shops on his behalf, and catch many rats hiding and eating inside and out from his inventory process.
Zhang Tang didn't see the real means, but according to the evaluation of the merchants afterwards, Sang Hongyang was dazzled by the methods, and even deceived and deceived eighteen kinds of martial arts, and forced many old profiteers who had been shopkeepers for many years into the corner and were powerless to resist, so he had no choice but to be arrested and explain the whole process of his greed and obstruction.
Judging from the comprehensive evaluation of the description of multiple businesses, Sang Hongyang, who is not yet 15 years old, is a natural business wizard, if he does not enter the palace to serve the Son of Heaven, he will become a generation of huge wealth like Tao Zhugong.
Zhang Tang admires Sang Hongyang's personal ability, he himself is a bureaucrat from a legalist, he has a natural keen sense of smell for investigating cases, he has rich experience in solving cases, many skills, and the means are also ruthless.
He has self-confidence, and cooperates with Sang Hongyang to formulate specific regulations for business tax, and is not afraid of raping businessmen to cheat and take advantage of the law to make profits.
Sang Hongyang's mind is meticulous, and he will never leave loopholes, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, there are really loopholes for Hao rape dealers to drill. You can get these people to go to the Tingwei Mansion to taste more than a hundred kinds of torture, and make them regret being born in this world.
"There are too many five-baht dollars in the inner house, and there is no need for so many five-baht dollars in Shaofu. Take it to the market to exchange it into gold and mint half a tael of gold, and I will let a few young mansions take turns to be responsible for this matter, and you will be responsible for hiding in the dark and monitoring, and the existing problems will be reported to me immediately. ”
The reform of the money law is gradually getting better, and the new half and a tael copper coins can be spread to all counties and counties in the world immediately, and the rich experience accumulated in the money exchange workshop in the past few months is more than enough to deal with the idle and troublesome merchant rangers. The arrogance of the rich and powerful merchants was beaten down, and they were not afraid of the gentry and rich families in the county looking for trouble.
The trouble is gold and silver coins. These two currencies are unprecedented, and it is difficult to say how much wind and rain will be affected when they are taken out.
If there is a difficulty, he is not afraid, as long as he is given time, he can solve it, Cao Shi is confident that Han Tingli has not been able to stop him.
As early as the main minting task of the five-baht coin was transferred to the Luoyang Coin Minting Workshop. The three major coins outside Chang'an City are in full swing preparing to mint half a tael of coins.
As an important legal tender to solve the money shortage, the gold, silver and copper three-level currency exchange model has been determined, and the importance of the new half tael is higher.
This time the supervision of the minting of money is still Shang Shucheng Zhang Tang, with the last supervision of the five baht money was appointed as the main person in charge of half a tael of money, Zhang Tang received the task when he was uneasy, as soon as he got started, it was not as difficult as imagined.
Compared with small money, it is difficult to control the weight, but large money is better to cast. Even the square hole in the middle is omitted, and it is purely stamped by a copper coin, and the weight is controlled and stamped out. Re-edging to ensure that the error is within the allowable value, it is qualified.
But even with such a simple request, after several months of preparation for coinage in the early stage, Zhang Tang worked overtime for more than ten days to urge the work to catch up.
"The 636th furnace, 25 grams of money and 3,000 pieces!"
The copper water flows into Qian Fanli and is semi-solidified and then taken out, cooled to a time and formed with hydraulic stamping, and repeatedly stirred and polished in a rolling copper bead disc to remove the edges. What flows out along with the copper beads is the latest copper half tael.
", discarded."
“。 Void disposal. ”
", discarded."
", discarded."
", qualified."
Zhang Tang couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the number of reported products, the pass rate of a batch of Qian Fan finished products was only 30 percent, and the efficiency of producing coins was not very high, so it was absolutely impossible.
On the other side, the silver half tael, the gold half two trial casting is also in trouble, the situation of the silver half two is similar to the copper half tael, the gold half two is worse, so high pure gold is very soft, only need to be stamped out with gold of appropriate purity can be used, the difficulty is that it will lose a lot of gold dust in the process of polishing.
After all, hydraulic grinding is not easy to control, manual grinding is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the requirements of gold coins for money are extra high, and it is really troublesome to not have two brushes.
"What about gold against huàn?" Cao Shi rubbed his brows and asked.
"It's not too optimistic, the gold circulating in the market is only one-third of the total amount of domestic money, and half of the gold price will raise the price of gold by fifty percent, and I dare not continue to exchange it."
Cao Shi didn't speak, this is the third time in half a month to come to the money foundry, Zhang Tang's pressure is great, and his pressure is not small, it is a trouble to take out half a tael of money, and sooner or later it will become a handle to question his ability if he delays for a long time.
He has always been very proud, and he does not allow anyone to question his field of expertise, and it is very important to him whether the new gold and silver money can be suppressed as soon as it appears.
350 billion 5 baht, according to the ratio of 10,000 yuan to one Han Jin of gold, is 35oo Han Jin, a total of 875o tons of gold, not to mention that the Han Empire does not have so much gold, and the Western Regions and the distant ancient countries of the West may not be enough to make up the number, 350 billion money can only be exchanged for one-third, that is, more than 29oo tons of gold, only 15oo tons will raise the gold price so much, continue to exchange huàn gold price will soon double.
"Continue to exchange huàn, until the price of gold doubles and immediately stop exchanging huàn, after this count of a gram will not be charged, the future gold price is this price, as long as the gold less than the doubling is all eaten, minted gold coins pass in all directions, the future gold price is what we say."
"Whoa!" Zhang Tang led the order to retreat.
Out of the money mint. Cao Shi felt that his head was stained with sweat, and the place near the fire kept high temperature all year round, and the money casters were shirtless in spring, summer, autumn and winter. He was soaked with sweat just standing nearby, and he didn't know whether to lament that the coal was hotter or that the stove was too hot.
Weiyang Palace Xuanshu Palace.
"How many days will it take for the racetrack to open? I'm tired of waiting. Liu Che frowned deeply and paced irritably, if he hadn't approached and listened to him, he would have thought that the little emperor was thinking about a great military matter.
Recently, the little emperor's life has not been very good, and the queen Chen Ajiao has held him to death, except for a few places to deal with government affairs such as the Xuanlin Hall and the Greenhouse Palace. The rest of the palaces in Weiyang Palace were turned upside down, and the queen took the stout palace maids and ladies to drive all the good-looking maids in Yongxiang to a place where the emperor could not see. The wife left by the emperor who did not give birth was also sent to live in the corner of Yongxiang.
Weiyang Palace has been turning chickens and dogs all day long, and I don't know how many turmoil it has caused and how many people are panicked and unsettled.
Cao Shi is a Shaofu, and one of the 24 Lingcheng under his command happens to be Yongxiang Cheng. The tossing thing in Yongxiang entered his ears without leaking, and when the queen was unhappy, she practiced with those beautiful palace maids, and two slaps on the front and back hands were the lightest punishments.
The queen exercises power in the palace, and the Shaofu can only stare dryly and can't interject to speak, how many beautiful girls are beaten out of shape, just to force the little emperor Liu Che to order these palace maids to be kicked out of the palace, Liu Che has no choice but to follow her wishes and drive the woman away.
It's only been less than half a month since I got rid of people. Chen Ajiao came to toss the body of her little husband Liu Che again, and she had to live in the queen's bedroom from beginning to end for a month, and I heard that the cries coming from the Jiaofang Palace in the middle of the night were not quite right. It is estimated that the married life of the little emperor is not very pleasant.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the original minister advocated the construction of a racecourse, for which he endured a lot of criticism without changing his original intention, and now that the racecourse is about to be completed, it is time to reveal the mystery."
"And the mystery?"
"Of course there is, the mystery is Ma Zheng."
Liu Che almost jumped up. Now Cao Shi looked serious, and said suspiciously: "Brother-in-law." Don't entertain me! ”
"When have I ever entertained you?"
"What does that racecourse have to do with Ma Zheng?"
Cao Shi raised his eyebrows: "The relationship is big, in the past, Shaofu invested in the construction of a large horse farm, raising tens of thousands of horses in the horse farm and slowly cultivating them, the first emperor made a big horse farm to cultivate tens of thousands of horses, and to this day there are not many good horses, the billions of money invested are still not in sight to return to the capital, and the hundreds of millions of money invested in improving the yield of good horses every year do not know if they can earn back, the process of cultivating horses in the horse farm is too slow and the efficiency is too low, and the expansion has to buy expensive horse breeds from all over the country. Investing in a large and slow effect is not suitable for the horse policy of His Majesty.
"So how do you say to solve it?"
"Horse politics is inseparable from people to implement, and it is too slow to let the court contribute money and efforts to raise horses and use horses, and the ministers are like implementing a new policy for stables."
"Do stables really work? Don't you often say that horses need to be more active to be useful, otherwise even the best horses will become horses. ”
Liu Che knew that the stables, the horses used to drive the cars of Weiyang Palace, and his royal mount, Chiyun, were all carefully raised in the stables, and the deterioration of horsepower was a common problem after the stables had been locked for a long time.
Every few days, Liu Che had to take Chiyun out for a walk, even if he didn't have time, he had to let the subordinate officials of the imperial servant walk the horses on his behalf, and the royal horses were still like this, and the people's stables were almost the same.
"Your Majesty is right, that's why you want to build a racecourse to improve horsepower, you have to rely on racing and endurance training, do you think the 4-kilometer track is too long? It can accommodate thousands of horses at the same time for training, and tens of thousands of horses are allowed to come out and walk around every day at different times, so you don't have to worry about the horses being stolen and can also be maintained intensively. ”
Liu Che's eyes lit up when he listened, and with his wisdom, he instantly thought of supplementing the detailed rules.
Imitation of the number of household registration of the stable horse registration and branding system, the intensive training of the stable horse and the selection of war horse system, as well as the maintenance, treatment, cleaning can be completed in a centralized manner, every household raises their own horses and selects good horses to be purchased by the imperial court into the Han army sequence, virtually saving a large amount of money for raising horses, and the inferior horses are handed over to the market to digest by themselves, which is a good opportunity for the court and the people.
Cao Shi said: "People who can raise horses must be rich, rich people buy horses and raise horses as an investment is a good business, raise bad horses and some merchants are willing to buy back to be pack horses or ploughing horses, the court investment is less and the people make more profits, by the way, let the folk horse breeding atmosphere rise, it can be said that there is no harm." ”
"The strategy is very good, just follow your strategy." Liu Che didn't want to think about it, so he should come down. (To be continued)
