Qin Zhen suddenly slapped his head, and his elegance dissipated without a trace.

The old man remembered something, what Qin Wei said last time...... You can't let the big cannibals make a fortune as a second-way dealer, and you must let the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty go to sea to trade in the future...... This word was spread, and the big food merchant was afraid that he also heard the rumors. Today, they resolutely went back, probably because of the trouble caused by these words. ”

The official on the side sighed: "If you say that there is still room for discussion if you don't give copper money, you have to cut off the trade routes of foreign merchants, this is the bottom of the kettle, it's strange if they don't go crazy." ”

Qin Zhen said with a headache: "The big cannibal is afraid, so he wants to use such means to force Da Song to give an explanation...... You are Qin Wei's proud student, did he have a letter to tell you about this? ”

"Nope."

Ouyang Xiu remembered Qin Wei's letter and said, "Mr. just said about the money shortage in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Money shortage is money shortage, don't be in a hurry!"

Qin Zhen sighed, "What do you think? ”

"Xia Guan knows that the money shortage has always existed, and he shouldn't be in a hurry to ...... for a while"

Qin Zhen nodded slightly, and said with relief: "It's good that you know!" Don't be impulsive next time...... Those big food merchants are simple, and the old man will let go out with a word, and the businessmen will naturally come to seek profits. ”

"Zhizhou."

From the beginning of his arrival in Hangzhou City, Qin Zhen gave Ouyang Xiu great tolerance, and he said in public that although Ouyang Xiu was young, he was Qin Wei's proud disciple, and the old man should let him do things.

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that he was Qin Wei's supporter, so Ouyang Xiu's voice in the city increased sharply, which made people envious.

Su Xun was trained when he first took office in officialdom, and besides, he was only accomplished in papers, isn't he better than Ouyang Xiu?

But Ouyang Xiu's situation was very different from him, he met a teacher's supporter, Qin Wei's supporters were actually not many, but it was rare to dare to disclose his identity.

Everyone said that Ouyang Xiu's luck was good, but today he gave Qin Zhen a big problem.

He bowed down and said: "It is a foregone conclusion that there are not enough coins in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not easy to mine copper, and it is troublesome to smelt, so ...... Xia Guan has an idea...... Why don't you issue Jiaozi in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"You ......"

Qin Zhen said in surprise: "Although Jiaozi is convenient, it is extremely risky, so the DPRK and China stipulate the number of issuances per year, and also stipulate the place of issuance, that is, I am worried that once it is issued indiscriminately, it will cause a crisis......

"Zhizhou, what if Jiaozi has gold, silver and copper coins behind him as a guarantee?"

Ouyang Xiu's words made Qin Zhen Huo Ran get up, startling the officials on the side, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ouyang Xiu, his lips moved a few times, and he suddenly laughed.

"You mean, if the Great Song Dynasty hoarded a large amount of gold, silver and copper, and used these things as a guarantee, and then issued Jiaozi...... So...... So...... Wonderful! ”

He walked down and patted Ouyang Xiu on the shoulder.

"Consistent copper coins are guaranteed to issue two or even three copies. Even if someone wants to redeem it, it can't be all of them, right? Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

He slapped it hard, Ouyang Xiu's body was extremely solid, and he didn't move at all, but he was slapped.

"Good boy! Attaboy! Qin Wei is a good student to teach, hahahaha! ”

Qin Zhen looked suave.

In everyone's eyes, these people will be very soft even if they want to laugh, probably just a light laugh or something.

And so it is.

After taking office in Hangzhou, the officials of Hangzhou have never seen this governor laugh.

"Haha!"

Qin Zhen's laughter echoed in the state office, causing the officials outside to look sideways, wondering what good things had happened to Zhizhou, and he was laughing so happily.

"Is this Qin Wei's idea?"

Qin Zhen laughed enough, so he couldn't wait to ask.

Ouyang Xiu lowered his head, "Mr. once said that the biggest problem in the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is the lack of coins, which restricts the development of all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty...... The lower officials often think that there is not enough gold and silver, and there are not enough copper coins, but why can gold, silver and copper become coins? Isn't it because it's scarce? ”

Qin Zhen nodded, more curious about Qin Wei.

I thought that the person was very good in his own right, and some words and positions made him applaud.

But his ability to teach his disciples is so great, and he teaches a coolie boy so well.

"But Xia Guan thought of another problem, gold, silver and bronze are actually worthless, their value lies in people's recognition......

Ouyang Xiu had been thinking about this for a long time, and at this moment, his thoughts were smooth and his language was fluent.

So for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, what do they identify with? The lower officials thought that the first thing was to make them trust His Majesty and trust the DPRK...... With gold, silver and bronze as a guarantee, and the people's recognition of His Majesty and the court, can Jiaozi be issued in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

He said with some longing: "If one day Jiaozi can be issued without gold, silver and copper as a guarantee, and the people trust and know the state, what will it be like?" ”

"That Great Song Dynasty is the most powerful in the world, and it can despise all countries."

Of course, Qin Zhen knew what that situation represented: "The monarch and the ministers are single-minded, the temples and the rivers and lakes are single-minded, who can be the enemy of such a Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Zhizhou, there are countless mines overseas, gold, silver and copper, much more than the Great Song Dynasty. There were also countless expensive spices, which were controlled by foreign merchants. They trade back and forth, and they can make money at both ends, and this is a good deal......"

Qin Zhen's eyes showed a sharp mang: "Such a good deal should be from the Great Song Dynasty." The Great Cannibal ...... They have been making our money since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, how many years have they been earning? It's time to earn enough! ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Sir said that foreign merchants can make money, but the way of second-tier dealers is not good. Now the Great Song Dynasty naval army has just begun, and the naval army that defeated the Liao people in World War I is ...... And a strong navy needs a lot of money to sustain it, so why not just go to sea to trade? ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "The more angry the Great Food Merchants are, the more it shows that their hearts are weak...... Zhizhou, businessmen pursue profits, they still have interests at present, and the Great Song Dynasty can let them earn countless money, so they will not refuse. Therefore, it is not a big problem to cut off the output of copper coins, because they can also make a lot of money by bartering. ”

"Merchants only have money in their eyes."

Qin Zhen thought clearly about the causes and consequences of this matter, and said categorically: "If the most profitable place today is the Great Song Dynasty, if those foreign merchants don't come to the Great Song Dynasty, they will almost end the sea trade, who would want to?" Definitely not! ”

He was relieved and ordered: "Come on, prepare wine and food, and the old man and Ouyang Xiu have a good drink." ”

Ouyang Xiu said with a bitter face: "Zhizhou, you haven't been down yet!" ”

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "The old man here is the biggest, and the old man says to drink wine." ”

This is the characteristic of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment.

Being an official is being an official, and never refusing when it is time to enjoy yourself.

Someone went to the restaurant outside to order wine and food, and the two drank behind the state office, and later the news spread out, and the city department couldn't help but be in an uproar.

"Zhizhou actually supports Ouyang Tongju's initiative?"

It was an unexpected result, puzzling, but it avoided an internal fight.

"What about the Great Food Merchant?"

Someone said entangledly: "But they are gone, once they join forces to persecute, this matter will eventually have to be said,"

The commercial tax of the Great Song Dynasty accounted for half of the fiscal revenue.

Therefore, from top to bottom, they are supporters of the policy of opening up business, which also makes foreign merchants see the possibility of blackmail. Once they join forces to threaten, what will be the attitude of the DPRK and China?

Nobody knows.

The convoy was five miles below the docks, and smoke was rising from the ship, and the people who were buying supplies had already set out, with the intention of sailing back when the supplies were finished.

The news quickly reached the fleet, and people were watching their reactions.

Just then, a small flotilla happened to arrive.

The two fleets met and exchanged pleasantries.

After a long discussion of the meaning of the city, the small fleet released the news that they wanted to go back together.

"They said they were going back."

When the news reached the state office, Qin Zhen, who was drinking, smiled and said, "No matter." ”

The officials outside were entangled in their hearts, but Qin Zhen and Ouyang Xiu frequently raised their glasses.

"Xia Guan was originally from a humble background, and later his mother gritted his teeth and let Xia Guan go to study, so he gave people a reputation for Huanyi all the year round, but Xia Guan was stupid, and felt that there was no hope of winning in this life......"

Ouyang Xiu drank the wine, and gradually became emotional.

"Until Xia Guan met Mr., he did not discriminate against Xia Guan's background, but took more care of it because of this, Zhizhou, you don't know, Xia Guan blamed himself because of the changes in his family, and he sealed himself, until he met Mr., he made Xia Guan feel that there was still warmth in this world...... Let the subordinate know that hard work will lead to success, and he can comfort the subordinate official's mother......"

He remembered the scene when his mother was molested by an idler when she was in a raccoon by the river, and tears glistened in his eyes.

So the lower officials studied hard, others read for one hour, and the lower officials read for two hours...... At the moment when he was admitted to the Jinshi, Xia Guan just wanted to go to his mother's grave and tell her that this son had a future......"

Qin Zhen nodded appreciatively.

Young people who know how to be grateful will go long and walk steadily.

"But all this is a gift from the gentleman."

Ouyang Xiu said with some embarrassment: "Mr. is a scholar and a man, both civil and military, and even more so about finance...... How to say it, Xia Guan feels that he stands out from the crowd. For example, everyone knows about money shortages, but no one can solve them. Is Jiaozi good? It's good, but the risks are not small. Mr. once said, don't be bound by the inherent way of thinking, the lower official thought, since the copper money is not enough, then the Jiaozi is enough? Jiaozi is at risk......"

His eyes were bright.

"Jiaozi is risky, but politicians should not think about avoiding risks, but how to overcome this risk."

These words hit Qin Zhen at once.

"Drink."

It is human instinct to shirk and retreat in case of trouble.

Once people get used to this instinct, they will naturally avoid difficult problems.

"Zhizhou, the fleet of the big cannibals has set off and gone to the sea."

"No matter!"

Once Qin Zhen figured out the cause and effect, where would he be afraid of the big cannibal turnaround, "If you don't do it, someone else will naturally do it." ”

His words got out, and there were big food merchants in the city who waited for the wind to go to sea before going to sea, so how would these big cannibals choose?

Huddle?

The officials in the city of Hangzhou were watching.

"Just go!"

Zhen was very drunk.

Then he called a female prostitute to sing and dance, and for a while, the state government and the demons danced wildly, making the Hangzhou officials look at each other, and they didn't know how long this Zhizhou would support Ouyang Xiu.

The great cannibal ships are gathering one after another.

Supplies were filled with people and carts of supplies in Hangzhou's major markets, which were unusually prosperous for a while, but most people could not be happy

No one likes to make only a sum of money, and the long flow of fine water is the king, but now this thin water is facing the danger of breaking the flow, and everyone is a little worried.

At this time, the next day, Qin Zhen and Ouyang Xiu were still drinking, and they ...... "them...... They actually barbecued meat in the state office! ”

Ma's!

For a while, the outside world was shocked, and they all thought that the two were probably crazy.

A merchant of the Great Song Dynasty transported goods south to Hangzhou, and when he saw that the merchants of the Great Food had left the city en masse and were about to leave, he immediately panicked.

Outside the state office, several Great Song Dynasty merchants were wailing: "Qin Zhizhou, we have spent all our money to buy goods to the south this time, and now the big cannibals are far away, who are we selling the goods to?" There is no place to bury the dead. I implore Qin Zhizhou to have mercy on me, otherwise ...... Otherwise, I'll die in front of the state government......"

"Drink!"

Qin Zhen, who was drinking, got the news that someone was going to commit suicide in front of the state government, and Yang Tian smiled and said, "Let them send the goods and give them at the market price." ”

"Zhizhou ......"

"Zhizhou, is this going to use public money?"

Everyone thinks that Zhizhou is probably crazy, but they still hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Zhizhou will not smoke.

In everyone's expectant gaze, Qin Zhen drank a glass of wine and asked Ouyang Xiu, "What do you think?" ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled: "Xia Guan thinks ...... If you can, then buy more. ”

This thing is crazy too!

When everyone felt that this was ridiculous, Qin Zhen laughed and said, "Qin Wei not only has the ability, but also teaches his disciples, which is wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

"Bought it."

Seeing that the officials looked at each other but did not move, Qin Zhen said: "This matter has nothing to do with you and others. Go ahead. ”

So the merchants were confused.

"You've bought all the goods you're waiting for."

What?

Several businessmen couldn't believe it, crying and shouting that they would not sell, that they would not dare to sell.

When a few officials impatiently threatened to clean them up if they didn't sell them again, the merchants dared to believe that a madman could really be an official.

After selling the goods, several merchants fled the city of Hangzhou overnight, the snowflakes fell, and the white in their eyes was boundless, this scene was very poetic.

Several businessmen said with palpitations: "Escaped death!" ”

"Qin Zhen is probably crazy, he drank wine for two days in a row, and it is estimated that he is crazy, and he will regret it later."

"Then hurry up,"

"Yes, anyway, our business is done, who are we going to do it with? As long as there is money to earn, it is ...... Let's go, don't let that Qin Zhen come back to his senses. ”

A few merchants went away with carts full of copper coins.

In the other direction outside Hangzhou, a group of big food merchants broke out into an infighting.
