Chapter 357: Fang Yuan was finally promoted to the head of the household department
Wang Jue's idea is good.
But his ideas lack consideration of reality.
Once people are in a panic, whether it is the Seven Star Banknote or the Tang Treasure Banknote, it will become waste paper in their eyes.
At this time, only copper coins can play a pacifying role.
But after a large number of people exchange copper coins, the copper coins of Huaxia Money Village will be lighted to you, and the coinage will not be able to keep up with the speed.
"Your Majesty, Fang Shilang is unwilling to take out the copper coin reserve and exchange it!"
Wang Qi went to Li Shimin to complain.
After learning that Huaxia Zhuang's copper coins had been exchanged, he looked for Fang Yuan.
In the process of exchanging copper coins for paper money in Huaxia Qianzhuang before, part of it was stored in the treasury and part of it was stored in Fang Yuan.
And Fang Yuan also has money, and the investment fees of the major families are in Fang Yuan's hands, although most of them are paper money, but there are also copper coins.
But Fang Yuan was unwilling to give, and Wang Qi could only find Li Shimin to complain.
"The imperial court announcement has only been launched for an hour, why is there no money in Huaxia Qianzhuang?"
Li Shimin did not take the initiative to respond to Wang Qi.
He watched the reactions of the people of Chang'an City.
It's only been an hour, and the Datang banknotes and copper coins of Huaxia Money Village have been exchanged, leaving the useless seven-star banknotes.
At such a fast speed, how much money does the imperial court have to print and how many copper coins to build to fill the holes left by the five surnames and Qiwang?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Huaxia Qian Zhuang deliberately did not exchange it."
"It's only been a short hour, how can the Datang treasure banknotes and copper coins be exchanged?"
Wang Qi said in a deep voice.
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Huaxia Qianzhuang's strength was so poor.
"Chuan Fang Yuan!"
Li Shimin was puzzled, so he could only summon Fang Yuan.
"Huaxia Qianzhuang is not our source alone."
"Your Majesty summoned the people in the Huaxia Qianzhuang of the imperial court to know whether Huaxia Qianzhuang was intentional or not."
Fang Yuan frowned lightly.
Dissatisfied with Wang Qi and Li Shimin's suspicions.
Now there are tens of thousands of people in Huaxia Qianzhuang, and there may be a riot at any time.
At this time, the deliberate non-exchange, the matter is big, and the people in panic are not joking.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm chilled by the actual situation."
"Fang Yuan, take out the stored Datang treasure banknotes and copper coins first, emergency!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
At present, we can only take out the old book first, and make more efforts to print paper money and make copper coins.
"Your Majesty, not long ago, in order to promote Huaxia Qianzhuang, I almost didn't have Datang treasure banknotes and copper coins in my hands."
"And I am still full of doubts about Wang Xiang's methods, please Your Majesty first take out the Tang Dynasty banknotes and copper coins from the treasury, and my money there will be kept for special situations first."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Judging from the current exchange situation, Wang Jue's method will not work.
Therefore, Fang Yuan was reluctant to take out the money, thinking about dealing with the special situation after that.
"Coping with special circumstances?"
"Money from the treasury can also be used to deal with special circumstances."
"Fang Shilang, not only do you think that the plan of the prime minister is not good, but you also don't cooperate with the orders of the imperial court, what do you want to do?"
Wang Qi stared at Fang Yuan with dissatisfaction in his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Fang Yuan frowned and did not answer Wang Qi's question.
Seeing this, Wang Qi felt that he was being neglected, and his expression was even more dissatisfied.
"Okay, let's get the money out of the treasury first."
Li Shimin stopped Wang Jue, who was about to become angry.
Fang Yuan knows more about the economy, and it is not impossible to keep his money first.
"Yes!"
Wang Qi glanced at Fang Yuan dissatisfied, and said yes.
Then he left, and Fang Yuan was left behind by Li Shimin.
"Fang Yuan, tell me honestly, is Wang Qi's method useful?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
I am desperate to know if the problem of paper money can be solved.
According to information from Qingzhou, Henan Province has almost fallen and is controlled by rebels.
Now, it is very likely that the rebels are in control of Henan Province, thus facing the world and bringing even greater turmoil.
"Didn't Your Majesty watch?"
"Useful, but not very useful."
"Don't look at me, I don't have a good way to do it for the time being."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Judging from the current situation, there is no chaos in Chang'an City, and the method is useful.
But after a long time, and whether there is any local chaos outside Chang'an City, it is impossible to determine for the time being.
It's just that from a long-term perspective, Fang Yuan still feels that Wang Jue's method is not good, and the impact is too great.
"You go down first, and think about it to see if there's a good way."
Li Shimin waved his hand weakly and sighed.
He has never wanted to break with the five surnames and seven hopes, because the consequences will be serious.
And that's just the beginning, it's going to be even more difficult in the future, and God knows how terrible things will happen.
"Retire!"
Fang Yuan said.
After Wang Jue left, he immediately ordered someone to open the treasury.
The treasury has no money, this is a well-known thing.
When Wang Jue opened the treasury, he knew this concept of no money.
Poor!
I don't know if this amount of money is enough to support two days.
But now the situation is no longer to think about holding out for a few days, but to order the two major institutions that print paper money and make copper coins to be faster.
This day is almost over like this.
The next day, Huaxia Qian Zhuang came to the door as usual and continued all business.
But when the door opened, the door of Huaxia Qianzhuang was full of queues, long, estimated to be 10,000 people.
The people in the front line held bags of heavy seven-star banknotes, and in less than an hour, they exchanged the Tang treasure banknotes of Huaxia Bank.
This is not serious, what is more serious is that these people who have exchanged paper money, hand over the Datang treasure banknotes to the team that is exchanging copper coins, and exchange the Datang treasure banknotes for copper coins.
From the opening of the Huaxia Money Village to the completion of the exchange, the whole process did not exceed two hours, and the speed was unimaginable, but the number of people who successfully exchanged did not exceed 200.
"What's the matter, playing us like monkeys?"
"The exchange has just been opened, will the court use that money to trick us?"
"Open the door, open the door, open the door to Lao Tzu, and if you don't exchange it for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will burn down your money bank!"
People were indignant and shouted.
Queuing up today, the people in the back of the queue didn't even move, so they said that the money was exchanged.
Isn't that playing like monkeys?
The people were furious and almost fought in front of Huaxia Qianzhuang.
As paper money is not easy to exchange for copper money, the refusal of shops in Chang'an City to accept paper money is even more serious.
Even if there are restrictions from the imperial court, the Chang'an City and County Government are staring, but there are still many shops that do not accept paper money.
But they didn't say that they didn't accept paper money, but suspected that the paper money was fake and didn't accept it, and the county government couldn't help them.
This matter soon reached the ears of Wang Qi and others, and Wang Qi was so angry that he personally went to Huaxia Qian Zhuang to check whether it was a secret operation by Qian Zhuang.
After reading the exchange records, Wang Qi knew that it was broken, Fang Yuan's worries were true, and the five surnamed Qiwang took out a large amount of money to exchange for Tang treasure banknotes, and then exchanged them for copper coins.
As a result, the people in the queue at the back did not have a chance to exchange at all, and were exchanged by the people in front of them.
There was no way, looking at the crowd that was about to make trouble, Wang Jue had to order someone to go to the treasury to transport a batch of banknotes and copper coins to arrive.
Now that the treasury did not have much money, Wang Qi divided it into five days to provide time for printing and coining money.
When the paper money and copper coins arrived again, people were no longer so noisy, and Wang Jue promised to watch it in person and not give large exchanges.
Wang Jue thought that as long as he stayed here and stared, the five surnames and seven wangs would not dare to exchange large amounts.
But the idea is good, but the reality is very cruel, and there are still many people who come to exchange a large number of seven-star banknotes.
They are not people with five surnames and seven hopes, but they are members of some top families, and they are all on the table.
Wang Qi could refuse one or two, but if he refused too much, he also felt embarrassed, and was worried about offending too many families.
In this way, the paper money and copper coins that had just been shipped, even if Wang Jue was staring at them, would be exchanged for Qingguang in less than three hours.
Fortunately, it was getting dark, and even if the people in line were unwilling, after making sure that Huaxia Qianzhuang really had no money, they could only endure it and go back and come back to line up tomorrow.
After dark, Wang Jue entered the palace overnight.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he is not up to the task!"
It's only been two days, and Wang Qi is a little panicked.
After seeing the number of people who exchanged money today, he calculated the speed at which paper money and copper coins were printed.
Unless it is said that people's hearts can slowly calm down, the number of people who exchange every day can only be more, not less.
And today, many families come to exchange one, which makes Wang Qi realize that there are too many seven-star banknotes left by the five surnames and Qiwang, and it is difficult for the court to digest them in a short time.
More importantly, Wang Qi is not sure whether the five surnamed Qiwang have made a move.
"Wang Qi, it's only been two days, and you told me that you are not competent?"
Li Shimin's face darkened.
At the meeting, I swore yes.
Now, only two days later, he says he is not up to the task.
This change is just as serious as it is.
"Your Majesty, the money in the treasury was originally allocated by me in five parts, that is to say, five days of exchange."
"However, today, tens of thousands of people are queuing, but less than 1,000 people are exchanging, and some big families are holding too many banknotes."
Wang Qi could only explain and exaggerate the matter.
It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that the situation isn't what I think.
According to the current situation, it will not take three days to stop yourself.
It's better to tell Li Shimin now, and save the problem from giving feedback after three days.
Li Shimin was speechless.
But except for scolding Wang Jue a few words, he can't do anything to him.
So, Li Shimin convened Fang Yuan and others again to discuss and discuss a better way.
"Your Majesty, Fang Shilang is more familiar with the paper money economy than us, so it's better to let Fang Shilang be in charge of this matter."
After discussion, they still couldn't find a better solution.
So, the eldest grandson Wuji proposed to hand over the matter to Fang Yuan.
As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Jue agreed.
"Fang Yuan, what do you think?"
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, but he could only look at Fang Yuan.
He knew that it was just the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Qi who wanted to blame each other.
But now Fang Yuan is more suitable to be responsible, and Fang Yuan is his own Ying Meng Xianchen.
Except for Fang Yuan, I'm afraid that no one else will come up with a better way.
"Your Majesty, the stall has been destroyed by the king, can I afford it if I am responsible?"
Fang Yuan said dissatisfied.
At first, he said that he would not be able to discuss it.
Do you leave the mess to yourself now?
"Fang Shilang, can you not speak so badly?"
"The prime minister is conscientious and conscientious, everything is done according to the discussion, why do you bring down the stall?"
Wang Qi's face suddenly darkened.
His position was even higher than Fang Yuan's, and Fang Yuan didn't respect it, but he didn't give face like this, which made him very angry.
"How did you break it, you didn't count it yourself?"
Fang Yuan hasn't been very smooth recently, and he is not in a very good mood.
For these things in the court, there is more and more a feeling of wanting to escape.
"You make it clear to you!"
Wang Qi was furious.
It's about to feel like a big fight.
"That's it!"
"Now is not the time for conflicts, it's time to solve problems."
"Fang Yuan, you take over the matter of paper money first, and after the matter is stable, I will give you the promotion of the Ministry of Household Books!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
They have been staring at the post of the head of the household.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of being promoted to the head of the household."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Last time, I put pigeons on my own, and now I want to write empty checks again.
And how long it will take for this thing to be done, only God knows.
If it's not good to carry a black pot, don't ask me to do it.
"You don't believe me?"
Li Shimin said with a dark face.
He didn't believe that Fang Yuan was not interested, he only felt that Fang Yuan didn't believe him.
Everyone also looked at Fang Yuan with similar expressions, and they also felt that Fang Yuan didn't believe Li Shimin.
After all, what happened not long ago is well known, and Cui Zhentang was executed later, but Fang Yuan was still the head of the household.
Fang Yuan didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious, he just didn't believe Li Shimin.
You bastard, Li Shimin cursed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I want to promote Fangyuan to the head of the household department and make every effort to solve the problem of the seven-star banknote, what do you think?" ”
When the words fell, everyone's faces changed again.
Promoted to the head of the household at such a young age, this must not be jealous of the dead?
"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion, but if Fang Shilang doesn't handle it well, the minister thinks that he needs to be removed from the post of Shangshu!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Wang Qi seconded.
Fang Xuanling and the others glanced at each other and seconded the proposal.
The Shoshu of the Promotion Department can, but it needs to be really capable of solving problems.
If things are not done well later, you will have to remove your official position and give up the post of secretary of the household department.
The position of the head of the household department is too important, second only to the ministry of officials among the six departments, and it is a position that countless powerful people are staring at.
"Fang Yuan, what do you think?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he glanced at Fang Yuan, so that Fang Yuan would not be ignorant.
"The minister is willing to try!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
If you don't accept it at this time, it will be too much of a slap in the face for Li Shimin.
"Very well, I and the princesses are looking forward to your performance."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
He immediately sent the eunuch Wang De to arrive and appointed the holy decree to be issued.
It didn't take long for Fang Yuan's promotion to the head of the household and it was spread out, and soon the magnates of Chang'an City knew about it.
Some people are happy and some are sad, this night Fang Mansion and Du Mansion and other people are singing and dancing, in a sea of joy.
And Fang Yuan, who was in the deep sea of happiness, realized that he had indeed ascended, but it was not so easy to keep his position.
As soon as tomorrow dawns, we will have to face tens of thousands of people exchanging paper money and copper coins, and if we don't do it, it may cause turmoil, which is really a headache.
