"In Aiqing's mind, is there a suitable candidate?"

Zhao Lin asked.

When Hubu Shangshu heard this, his heart sank.

He knew that the position of the responsible official of the Great Song Qianzhuang was very important, and his ability and loyalty were very important.

If it is not human, it is likely to shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Once something happens, it is likely that he will be implicated as a household secretary.

So you have to be very cautious.

"Chang Wei, the head of the household department, is good at financial management, loyal and reliable, and is basically responsible for the establishment of a money bank. ”

After a little muttering, Hubu Shangshu bowed his hand to Zhao Lin and said.

"Then appoint this person as the owner of the Great Song Money Village. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, since this person is skilled in business, he is naturally the best candidate for this owner.

But for the position of the deputy owner, it is necessary to find a person who can be trusted to restrain this person.

"Cui Lian. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze swept among the courtiers, and finally landed on a young figure.

"The minister is here. ”

Cui Jian walked out and bowed to Zhao Lin.

"I order you to be the deputy owner of the Great Song Village, assist the owner of the Chang Village, and work together to run the Great Song Village. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes were indifferent.

"Obey. ”

Cui Lian hurriedly thanked him.

Da Song Qianzhuang, this is an important lifeblood department of the imperial court in the future, and His Majesty appointed him as the deputy owner of the village, obviously treating him as a confidant.

His Majesty trusts him so much, he must not live up to His Majesty's expectations!

However, in fact, in Zhao Lin's view, Cui Lian is not the right person.

But now under Zhao Lin's hands, there is no one who can take on this important task and is deeply trusted.

So this heavy responsibility can only fall on Cui Lian, a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

In the final analysis, it is because there is not enough material available.

"The Book of Rites. ”

After Cui Lian retreated, Zhao Lin's gaze moved to the body of the Ministry of Rites, "The imperial examination system of this dynasty is once every few years?"

"Your Majesty, it's three years. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately said respectfully.

"Change to once a year. ”

Zhao Lin said casually.

"Once a year?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned, "Once a year, will it be too frequent?"

"I'm afraid that there are not so many vacancies in the imperial court and at the local level. ”

"Once a year, how can it be so often?"

Zhao Lin shook his head, "What's more, now that my Great Song Dynasty has a vast land and guests from all over the world, there will definitely be a large number of official vacancies. ”

"Not only that, if there is an urgent vacancy in the official position, it is also necessary to open more enkes, announce the world in advance, and notify the people of the world to take the exam. ”

Today's Great Song Dynasty has just conquered the three major empires of Dashi, Persia and Tianzhu, and set up three major capitals.

These three major protectorates need to send a large number of officials to govern.

Moreover, due to the strict evaluation method implemented by the imperial court, a large number of officials will be eliminated and deposed every year.

There will also be a lot of vacancies.

"Obey. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and immediately bowed down to receive the order.

The imperial examinations and various enke examinations have become frequent, which will accelerate the flow of officialdom, inject fresh blood, and promote the metabolism of the entire officialdom.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to do. ”

After the Ministry of Rites retreated, Song Zhong, the secretary of the Academy of Sciences, walked out and arched his hand.

Zhao Lin's eyes turned and fell on Song Zhong: "Aiqing said it." ”

"In accordance with His Majesty's will, the minister invited the 'painting saint' to paint the first generation of banknotes of the Great Song Dynasty, and now, the style of this banknote has been roughly determined, please take a look at it!"

Song Zhong's expression was slightly nervous, and then he took out a fine piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lin through the hand of the eunuch who was close to him.

Zhao Lin took the paper and looked at it carefully.

This piece of paper is the banknote printed by the Academy of Sciences.

The amount is written on it: one thousand wen.

That is, a tael of silver.

The face of the ticket is also stamped with an official seal: the imperial system of the Great Song Dynasty.

And the background of the banknote, as Zhao Lin commanded, is a noble oriental dragon.

In the hands of the painter, this oriental dragon is vivid, and it is equipped with complex patterns, which is undoubtedly not easy to copy.

The paper is very beautiful, and it is obviously not the ordinary paper that is circulated in the market, but the paper specially made by the Academy of Sciences, which is specially used to print money.

The quality is quite good and not easily damaged.

This kind of banknote, the people want to imitate, it is very difficult, and the possibility is very small.

After Zhao Lin looked at it for a while, he handed the note to the eunuch and instructed: "Circulate this banknote for everyone to see." ”

"Yes. ”

The close eunuch handed over this Qianwen banknote to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

It was passed on by Zhuge Liang to the civil and military officials behind.

When everyone saw this banknote, they couldn't help but be amazed, but there were also many people who had doubts in their hearts, after all, they wanted to replace gold, silver and copper coins with a piece of paper, and many people still had some faith in their hearts.

"Spread my will, this thing is the first generation of paper money of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Academy of Sciences began to print it on a large scale on the same day. ”

"The denomination should not be limited to 1,000 yuan, but set up several denominations to facilitate the use of the people. ”

"After the operation of the Great Song Money Village, it will begin to issue paper money in an all-round way, gradually replacing the Mandate of Heaven Tongbao circulating on the market!"

His Majesty's words came out.

Above the court, there was immediately a lot of discussion.

Although they knew that sooner or later His Majesty would issue paper money on a large scale to replace the gold, silver and copper coins that circulated in the market.

But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Your Majesty's move is undoubtedly a bold attempt.

Banknotes are easier and faster to make than copper coins.

If it is not done well, it will disrupt the monetary system of the Great Song Dynasty and bring great disasters to the people.

In history, there have been emperors who changed coins without authorization and issued coins indiscriminately, which led to the demise of the dynasty.

This risk cannot be ignored.

Zhao Lin is naturally well aware of the risks.

Therefore, the issuance of currency by the Great Song Dynasty must not be blind, and must be determined according to economic needs.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will cause inflation.

It depends on whether this Chang Wei can be up to this important task.

"Your Majesty, this newly minted banknote has not yet been named, please give it a name. ”

Song Zhong said cautiously.

"Let's call it the Great Song Dragon Coins!"

Zhao Lin just thought for a moment, then waved his hand and spoke.

Great Song Dragon Coins!

Song Zhong's heart was surging!

Song Zhong is confident that once this big Song Dragon coin is issued, it is bound to quickly replace all currencies in circulation!

Create a new era!

......

After retiring from the dynasty, Zhao Lin returned to the Daqing Palace.

Since Prime Minister Zhuge Liang took charge of the government, Zhao Lin has been a lot easier.

Many trivial matters were solved by getting along with him, and Zhao Lin didn't have to worry about what problems would arise in political affairs in Zhuge Liang's hands.

Therefore, after Zhao Lin returned to the Daqing Palace, he only flipped through a few important notes and then became idle.

However, in this way, all the big and small affairs are pressed on Zhuge Liang's body.

The load on Zhuge Liang is not small.
