Chapter 162: The First Wave of Depreciation (7)

Even Shangshu didn't know about the exclusion of silk from the monetary system this time, and Sun Qing felt a little weak after eating. At the end of the morning meeting the next day, he stayed and asked Zhao Guan's family: "Guanjia, is this approach a little too arbitrary?" ”

"That's right. I'm just going to do it. Zhao Jiaren replied briskly.

"Again...... Why? "Sun Qing didn't say the word 'why bother'.

"The benefits are not hundred, and the law is not changed; It is not easy to do it. When encountering a change, such words will come out. Because any change in the law will harm the interests of certain people. And those people don't care if they change the law or not, what they care about is that they can't lose even a penny of their little money. They demanded that the new law must only give them benefits and not let them bear the losses. Zhao Jiaren said in a mocking tone.

Poof. Sun Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was able to become the head of the household department, not because Sun Qing was as pure as a white rabbit. A household secretary may not be aggressive, but he will certainly not be without knowledge. Zhao Guanjia's words have been described, except for the faces of many people.

Seeing that Sun Qing understood the official family here, Zhao Jiaren continued: "Since I have decided to change the law, the result of discussing with them is that everyone is unhappy. Then it's better to do it, at least everyone has a clear point of interest to quarrel about when they quarrel. ”

"Since the official family understands it so well, the minister must work for the official family." Sun Qing replied decisively. Zhao Guanjia is a very frank person, following Zhao Guanjia, even if he is dead, he is also an understanding ghost. Sun Qing likes this very much.

"Are these people starting to think something is wrong?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"They still don't seem to understand the confidence of the officials in handing over the money. The minister thought that after the new version of the banknote was issued, they would probably be able to understand the intentions of the officials. ”

"Speaking of the new version of the banknote. The minimum denomination of the Mongols' Zhongtong ingots is ten Wen, and I don't know how the fake banknotes we printed are used in Mongolia. ”

Hearing this question, Sun Qing replied with a little grin: "Back to the official's house, the minister heard some news." It seems that after Mongolia's toss, prices have skyrocketed, and we have lost money by paying ten or twenty yuan. ”

"Huh. Hahahaha......" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard it. At that time, Du Chong's reincarnated bald head was in power, and the printed currency depreciated vigorously, to the point that the Japanese lost money by counterfeiting banknotes. Zhao Jiaren thought it was a big joke at the time. Unexpectedly, now Zhao Jiaren himself has become a member of the joke, which is really ridiculous.

After laughing for a while, Zhao Jiaren put away his smile and said, "Hmph! With the ability of the Mongols, it is really beyond their power to operate a monetary system with pure paper money. ”

"Isn't Da Song afraid?" Sun Qing couldn't help but ask. After knowing the tragic situation of Mongolia's currency operation, Sun Shangshu felt that he also saw all kinds of big problems under the operation of paper money.

"As I said in my previous lectures, economic policy consists of two parts, one is fiscal policy and the other is monetary policy. The two are complementary to each other, walking on two legs. The fiscal policy was an investment by the imperial court, and the Mongols, who used to invest a little, have now turned into complete plunder. Monetary policy relies on the establishment of a large number of banks, which carry out the business of money storage and currency lending. Mongolia lacked this stuff from the beginning. Now that they don't have two legs, collapse is inevitable. ”

"Yes." Sun Qing replied. Although Zhao Jiaren clearly explained why Mongolia could not withstand it, Sun Qing felt that this did not prove that the Great Song Dynasty would not be fine. However, Sun Shangshu also felt that he couldn't talk nonsense anymore, because the official family would be unhappy.

In Quanzhou, which is more than 1,000 miles away from Hangzhou, the latest news was also obtained through cable telegraphs, but the people of Quanzhou did not seem to have so much confidence in the Zhao official family. Because these people don't believe that this news is true at all, the price of raw silk in the country of origin is not high, and every time it is transported, the price is increased by one piece. Especially in the years before the abolition of the shipping tax by the Zhao official family, each county had to support itself through such taxes to pay the taxes to be paid to the imperial court. It is also taxed like a tiger.

At the meeting of silk merchants in Quanzhou, many people put forward their views frankly.

"It's a lot of taxes, and I'm afraid that the price won't be cheap when it is shipped to Quanzhou."

"Hmm. Silk is not raw silk, even if the price of raw silk is lower, it is still so much manpower to spin a piece of silk, and where is it so easy for weavers to train this weaving. If the ability is insufficient, it will not be able to weave good materials. ”

"The official family is a little taken for granted."

"I think we can clean all the silk first, and then buy it when the cheap silk comes. Since it's cheap, don't we also have it? I'd like to see how cheap it is. ”

After such a big discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that they didn't see it. Waiting to reap the benefits.

After the meeting, Zhao Mengmei, deputy head of Donghu District, went to visit Empress Dowager Chen again.

Seeing the Empress Dowager Chen this time, Zhao Mengmei felt that the Empress Dowager Chen was a little unhappy. are all women, and after a few words, it is easy to figure out that the Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress Dowager Zhao Zhi are not happy.

"Queen Mother, I think the Emperor is quite kind." Zhao Mengmei found a word that she felt was the most appropriate.

Hearing such a comment that didn't hurt at all, Empress Dowager Chen snorted coldly. With Zhao Zhizhuo's family background, knowledge, and talents, Empress Dowager Chen has always felt that it is within the range she can accept. But Zhao Zhizhuo's confusion was unacceptable to Empress Dowager Chen. This man always has to position himself in the position of a scholar and a guardian of tradition. If he is just doing his own thing, although his official performance cannot be compared with Zhao Jiaren, he is also above the level of his colleagues. However, this talent is far from enough compared to the 'guardian' that Zhao Zhizhuo thinks he is.

"What's the use of being kind. When Saburo was young, I thought he was not as clever and cute as other young sons. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if I'm too stubborn, and I ended up teaching Saburo badly. San Lang was only so tall back then, and in addition to reading every day, he probably only had to eat and sleep. I was so distressed to see him, so I pulled him out to look at the lights. However, he was like a little adult, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, looking slowly. When I asked him if the lights were good, he just said yes. I asked him if he wanted to come back in the future, but he shook his head vigorously and said, don't come again......"

Speaking of her son's affairs, Mrs. Zhao burst into tears again.

Zhao Mengmei could only persuade: "My third uncle was admitted to Jinshi at the age of thirteen, and I was not born at that time, but I heard about the sensation at that time. "According to the seniority, Zhao Mengmei has to be called Zhao Jiaren's third uncle.

"Huh." Hearing someone mention the major event that Mrs. Zhao thought her third son was second to brilliant, Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't help but put away her tears and smiled. In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Jiaren's first glorious event is naturally to accept Zen and become an official. At that time, Zhao Zhizhuo was also extremely worried that a large number of scholars would jump out to oppose it. This confused self-positioning made Mrs. Zhao angry.

The second brilliance is that Zhao Jiaren became a Fujian Road Jinshi, and in the Great Song Dynasty, there were dozens of genuine Jinshi in three years. Zhao Jiaren, who has not been lovely since he was a child, has finally come to fruition after studying hard.

However, recalling this, Empress Dowager Chen suddenly remembered that probably Zhao Mengmei's purpose for coming here was not to have a family relationship with Empress Dowager Chen, so the Empress Dowager asked: "If you have something to do today, if you have something, you can say it directly." If it's okay, I'm ready to take a break. ”

was so squeezed by the Empress Dowager Chen, Zhao Mengmei could only say what she thought in her heart. "Queen Mother, the price of silk is said to be unstable now. All the families in Quanzhou use silk to lend, especially after the official family opened up sea routes, we sold porcelain and used silk mortgage to lend. In all kinds of news, I don't know what to do. ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen shook her head slightly, "I am just a queen mother, and the biggest credit is to give birth to such a son." I know what you're talking about, but I can't tell the difference. You might as well put it more bluntly, what exactly do you want? ”

"Queen Mother, I don't want anything. All I want is not to lose money. Zhao Mengmei replied.

"The officials didn't let you sell all the silk. Just do it. ”

"Queen Mother, I have sold all the silk in my hand. But what am I going to do with all this money? In the past, with silk in hand, you could have all kinds of turnover, or lending, or investing in various goods in the nautical guilds. At present, the price of silk fluctuates so much, and the price of all kinds of goods in the nautical guild also fluctuates greatly. I really didn't dare to do it again. ”

"Isn't there a little interest every year when you deposit the money in the bank?"

"This ......" Zhao Mengmei felt that she didn't know what to say. Now there is indeed interest in the bank, but the interest on the bank is not worth mentioning compared with the operating profits. If possible, Zhao Mengmei hopes to be able to obtain huge benefits through investment as before.

"If people's hearts are insufficient, then it is easy to have accidents. Although I am the queen mother, I am only a woman at home, and I can't give you any way to do such things. I advise you to go home and spend this time in peace. So many capable men are still at a loss, and you, as a woman, are self-preservation. Empress Dowager Chen gave Zhao Mengmei a suggestion with a straight face, and then left her.

After the people left, Empress Dowager Chen felt that something was wrong in her heart. Before, she still felt that Zhao Zhichu was too hypocritical, and she liked to be foolish. Looking at it now, the development of the whole thing has exceeded the imagination of Empress Dowager Chen. In such a situation, Empress Dowager Chen felt that it seemed wrong to stay in Quanzhou. If those people hope to find the Empress Dowager Chen and get a guaranteed ticket, then the Empress Dowager Chen will have no way to deal with herself.

"Go, call the Emperor." Empress Dowager Chen gave an order to the attendants.
