His Royal Highness the King of Chu is only responsible for the general direction, and the general framework has been finalized, as for the specific terms, naturally someone will talk to them.

In the next few days, Zeng Tai led the provincial government officials to conduct arduous negotiations with the Suzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau on the long-term lease of 300,000 hectares of official land.

Don't look at Gu Yuanchen and others, they are generous and generous in front of the King of Chu, and they are eager for justice and righteousness, but when they really talk about business with these people, they are another face that they must be investigated, they just want to take advantage of them, and they don't want to suffer losses.

With His Royal Highness the King of Chu as the backstage, ordinary officials will not bother with them, and they will give in.

But Bisheng ran into Zeng Tai, who was harder in the background, and he was still a barbar, so the two sides called one of you and me, and they didn't give an inch.

The two sides have disputed almost all the terms, but the biggest disagreement is two.

One is the 300,000 hectares of land, and the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau hopes to concentrate as much as possible, and at most it will only be divided into three or five pieces, so that it is convenient to send people to manage it.

Zeng Tai said how could it be that the source of 300,000 hectares of land was confiscated hidden fields, scattered in every county in the province. There must be hundreds of them, how can they be concentrated into three or five pieces?

When the matter came to the sixth child, His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave them peace and mud, and asked both sides to take a step back, and the weaving and dyeing bureau was so demanding; Jiangxi Province should not just try to save trouble, it should be replaced.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the official fields in each county are concentrated. It would be even better if we could connect the official fields of neighboring counties as much as possible.

This is a set.

~~

Another more troublesome point is the payment method, Jiangxi Province actually only wants copper coins, not treasure money!

The fact that a provincial government dared to refuse to accept the treasure money issued by the imperial court is simply out of the ordinary. The Weaving and Dyeing Bureau naturally didn't get used to them, and sued the sixth child again.

"Zeng Tai! You've gone too far! Jiangxi Buzheng is still not the official government of the Ming Dynasty, and he dares to refuse to accept the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty! The sixth child was also very angry when he heard this, called Zeng Tai over, and scolded him.

Zeng Tai waited for His Highness to finish scolding, and then explained with a bitter face: "Your Highness, if this money is given to the lower officials, then I will definitely not say a word, but the problem is that this money is to be used to buy resettlement materials and pay directly to immigrants, and those people will not be used to us." ”

"What, will they refuse it?" Zhu Zhen said with a dark face.

"It's not like it's going to be reluctant, but it's certainly reluctant." Zeng Tai smiled bitterly: "And it must be discounted." At present, the market price in Jiangxi can only be exchanged for 800 copper coins, and this time it will be folded into 20%, which is really a loss. ”

"That's because His Royal Highness helped patch it and persuaded the emperor to pour money for free, which stabilized the value of the treasure banknote." Gu Yuanchen seized every opportunity to pat the sixth son's ass. "No one knows the law of money better than His Highness, and the value of the treasure money will soon rise back."

"Don't dare to say that." Zhu Zhen glanced at Gu Yuanchen.

Although the people have no choice but to use money because of deflation. However, after the collapse of the banknote law at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the common people have always been wary of the treasure banknote. Use it, but you don't want to save it. Instead, they tried to exchange the treasure money for copper coins and stored them at home.

This has a professional saying in later generations, which seems to be called 'moon cakes expel cool skin'?

Therefore, in the long run, money is still expensive, and it is still a general trend.

And what makes Zhu Zhen mad the most is that the old thief's stingy character is simply the natural enemy of the treasure banknote. Although Boss Zhu issued an order to announce free banknote dumping on the one hand, on the other hand, he did not let the Treasure Banknote Bureau invest too many new banknotes in the bank's treasury......

Because Boss Zhu found that as soon as the free banknotes were announced, the common people flocked to the treasure banknotes in their hands, and many of them were obviously just a little defaced and wrinkled, and they did not affect the use of the complete treasure banknotes, and they were all used for new ones.

In an instant, the banknotes in the bank library were replaced clean. The cost of printing banknotes is so high, Boss Zhu is reluctant, so he stipulates that all treasure banknotes that are 'clear and well-rounded' are not considered faint banknotes, and they will not be poured for free.

But there are policies and countermeasures, and the common people will crumple the treasure banknotes that do not meet the conditions until they meet the standards and then exchange them......

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he thought that this was malicious banknote dumping, so he had to strictly control the amount of banknotes dumped, and there was a long queue in front of the door of the bank every day. He felt that those who were 'still new' in their hands would be troublesome and give up pouring money......

For this reason, Lao Zhu still complained a little about the sixth child, thinking that this kid didn't know the price of firewood and rice, so he gave himself a bad idea.

In fact, in Zhu Zhen's view, this is just a normal manifestation of the people's lack of confidence in the imperial court. They don't know how long this free money dump will last, that's why they flock to it. I changed the peace of mind first.

As long as the imperial court insists on 'changing everything' for a period of time, at most a year and a half, the people know that they can change money at any time, so they are not in a hurry to change it, and they are not worried about receiving old banknotes, and the peak period of this wave of money exchange will pass.

As now, slowing down the people by controlling the amount of new banknotes in the bank treasury will only exacerbate the people's distrust of the treasure banknotes and greatly reduce the effect of free banknotes......

~~

This is the case at the moment. What's more, the transaction amount between the two sides is so huge, collecting money and collecting money, there is a difference of seven or eight million yuan inside and outside, and no one will do it.

Zeng Tai is reluctant to accept treasure money, which is understandable.

In fact, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau insisted on paying with treasure money for the same reason.

"I don't understand, just like His Highness said, how dare you refuse to accept treasure money in a provincial government?" Gu Yuanchen's fart slapped on the horse's leg and quickly shifted the target.

"If it's really the same as you say, why do you insist on paying the money without paying?" Zeng Tai said.

"Because it's all the same, I want to pay for what I want!" Gu Yuanchen quibbled.

"Then we want what we want!" Zeng Tai got into a fight with him again......

"Okay, okay, shut up!" Seeing that the two sides quarreled again in front of him, the sixth man was angry. He really wanted to say why don't you pay with food stamps. It's a pity that people in Jiangxi don't recognize the small tickets he issued, and the sixth child just wants peaches.

"So be it." The sixth man finally gave them an idea with a snort: "The Weaving and Dyeing Bureau uses half of the copper money and half of the treasure money to pay." ”

"Your Highness, this kind of thing can't be compared with the mud!" Zeng Tai was not satisfied, because then they would still have to fold three or four million yuan.

"Your Highness has taken care of you enough, are you still not satisfied?" Gu Yuanchen said indignantly, obviously dissatisfied.

"What's the hurry? Listen to the king's words! Zhu Zhen glared and said:

"Most of the money received by the Chief Secretary here is to be spent! What kind of seeds, farm tools, cattle, rations, etc., these businesses can be given priority to the inspection team! ”

"Aha, Your Highness is such a great idea." Zeng Taiden came to the spirit and smiled at Gu Yuanchen: "Since you say that there is no problem with the treasure banknote, then the treasure money will be used for your payment!" ”

"You!" Gu Yuanchen was sullen for a while, but he couldn't refute it. If he said that there was a problem with the treasure banknote, how could he explain the behavior of insisting on Alipay money before? But if he just agreed, he would be able to let the people below scold him to death when he turned around.

However, an old man like him has always been quick-witted. After a long time, he held back a sentence: "We want food stamps!" ”

"Food stamps?" Zeng Tai had heard of this thing, but he had never seen it.

"Yes." The face of the sixth child is so realistic. How important is the treasure money as his food stamps?

"Okay, as long as you promise to collect as much as you want, you can use a part of the food stamps instead." Zeng Tai still trusts the King of Chu very much, and believes that with him, these Suzhou Yankees dare not play any tricks.
