797: The economic drive of the Great Song Dynasty
"How do you get that?"
His perception of the economy......
Back then, his 'Theory of the Definite Number of Money in the World' was refuted by Qin Wei, so he didn't dare to pretend to be an expert at the moment, so he could only humbly ask for advice.
"The old man doesn't know."
Wang Zhen failed to give him an authoritative answer.
Ma Delu thought that he was dissatisfied with himself, and his heart couldn't help but be full of bitterness.
He was born as a son of an official eunuch, and his parents have been hoping for their son to become a Chan since he was a child, and he is very strict with his education.
These words were the pressures that overwhelmed the young Madlo, but he could only accept them.
Gradually, he felt that he had to become the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, he hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would become better in his own hands.
And this needs power, it needs status, and the post of prime minister couldn't be better, but now there are many talents in the DPRK and China, and even Zhang Shixun has been sacrificed by His Majesty in order to redeem his son.
Ma Delu doesn't have a deep background, he just has some prestige in the Shilin and the respect of those scholars for him......
He thought that he could not compete with these people, and gradually his personality changed.
He was overwhelmed by the demands of his parents since he was a child, and as he got closer to the center of power, he found that he was not at the top of his ranks.
I'm going to be the top one!
This wish of his was gradually shattered, and his heart was almost hopeless, and then he gradually learned to hide the emotions in his heart with a straight face.
He suddenly asked Wang Zhen for advice, and Wang Zhen's attitude made him a little sad, and the mask he had worn for many years broke a gap.
Everyone didn't know how he was feeling at the moment.
Wang Zhen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty has not found a copper mine recently, and the current production of copper coins is increasing every year, but this improvement is far from being able to make up for the big hole that appeared...... And Qin Wei's money ticket, with all due respect, it is difficult to find a way out of the dilemma of the Great Song Dynasty's money shortage, and the only possibility is the money ticket. But money tickets are risky......"
He was also worried about the risk of money tickets.
Not only him, but the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were worried about this risk, otherwise Jiaozi would not be limited to Yizhou and other places, and would not be allowed to spread.
"Your Majesty, the minister is ...... In fact, there is still a way to solve the problem of money tickets......"
Qin Wei's attitude was very serious, but many of the monarchs and ministers in the palace did not believe it.
Wang Zhen's eyes were more solemn, this matter was important, if Qin Wei was talking nonsense, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but teach people a lesson on the spot.
"How to fix it?"
Zhao Zhen felt that his scalp was a little tight, which was a sign before the onset of the disease.
People with anxiety and depression are most afraid of problems and worries, and once they cause worry, they will fall ill.
He clenched his hands into fists and resisted the urge to hit his head, Qin Wei didn't know anything about it, he felt that the opportunity he was looking forward to had finally appeared.
"The business of the Great Song Dynasty is developed, and the annual growth rate is not low. The same is true of the minister's Qin Ji, whose sales are increasing every year. But Hu Ping told the minister that some merchants had reduced the amount of goods, and the minister was puzzled, thinking that there was a problem with Qin Ji's goods, who knew that it was because of lack of money......"
The Great Song Dynasty was merchant-oriented.
At the beginning, it was Zhao Kuangyi who sent envoys to the sea and warmly invited foreign merchants to come to the Great Song Dynasty to do business, which was the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty and overseas trade, and continued to develop in the future, becoming a powerful supplement to the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty.
The local commercial activities of the Great Song Dynasty are in the ascendant, and all walks of life are booming, which can be called the golden age of economic development.
Any time, any country.
Once it enters a period of rapid economic development, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Countless examples in later generations have proved this point, as long as efforts are made to ensure high-speed economic development, what will be followed is the continuous enhancement of the overall national strength.
The longer this process continues, the stronger the country will become, and once it lasts for decades, it can basically turn a weak country into a strong country.
The population of the Great Song Dynasty is not short, and the territory is not bad, so it is born with this condition.
However, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty did not understand the economy, and the extensive management and the lack of currency made the Great Song Dynasty economy face the crisis of money shortage.
If this crisis is not resolved, economic development will automatically slow down.
In order for the Great Song Dynasty to be strong, economic development must maintain high-speed growth, so that it can have the financial resources to reform the army and do great things.
“…… The copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are not enough, and the minister is here to say that no amount of copper coins will be enough! ”
Qin Wei's voice echoed in the hall.
Zhao Zhen was listening carefully, Ma Delu was also listening carefully, and then he felt a gaze, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Zhen.
There was more dissatisfaction in Lao Wang's eyes, probably since you want to impeach Qin Wei, then first figure out the economic situation of the Great Song Dynasty.
If you don't understand anything, you're blind, are you a member of the imperial history or a waste of the imperial history?
Ma Delu bowed slightly, and then listened intently to Qin Wei's analysis of the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to get ahead, you must have profound knowledge.
And studious is the only way to be knowledgeable.
Qin Wei's mood was very good, so there was a little more joy in his voice, "Money supply is a major event in economic development, and it stands to reason that the DPRK and China should learn to control these, but ......"
He said helplessly: "Kechen has been an official for several years, but he has never heard anyone say these things. ”
Zhao Zhen felt that this was not his own pot.
The original Zaifu were good, but their vision and insight were not as good as Qin Wei, who had a thousand-year-old advantage, so when it came to the economy, they didn't understand the terms that popped out of Qin Wei's mouth at all.
This is only occasionally.
At that time, Qin Wei did not fully expound his views on the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.
Because Zhao Zhen's will to innovate is not strong, if it is launched in advance, it will definitely be rejected, and it is easy to cause the accumulation of opposition.
Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the emperor has been wronged for many years, once he became the emperor, the grievances in his heart have turned into motivation, and he can't wait to become the wisest emperor in the history of the Great Song Dynasty overnight.
This is an opportunity, Qin Wei will never miss it, so he took the opportunity of Ma Delu's impeachment, and he took advantage of the situation.
"The Great Song Dynasty has a lot of economic growth every year, which needs to be invested in the currency accordingly, otherwise there will be a shortage of money......"
This is the law of economics, the cake is bigger, but the tragedy is that the cream is not enough...... Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, feeling that such a statement was easy to understand.
This Qin Wei is really a rare talent!
"If the DPRK and China have enough money in stock, then they can control the development of the economy through the amount of money that is put into it. For example, if the economy grows too fast and there is a danger of getting out of control, it is necessary to reduce the amount of money put in the market to make the market short of money...... The so-called market can be understood as a place where money is needed. When the market is short of money, growth slows down, and the danger of getting out of control is nipped in the bud......"
This is a very new theory.
Zhao Zhen immediately asked someone to call Yan Shu.
The third envoy is an expert, and he needs to give him an explanation in combination with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty.
After Yan Shu came, Zhao Zhen first told him about Qin Wei's theory just now, and the latter showed a surprised expression, followed by an appreciative smile.
He continued: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty is short of money, for example, a certain merchant wants to buy goods, but is trapped in his hands and has no money...... What to do? He had no choice but to stop the purchase. ”
Yan Shu originally asked the emperor to read, and it goes without saying much about his literary talents, but for the economy...... He, the third envoy who became a monk halfway, is also a second knife to the economy.
But he is serious in his work, although he has just taken over the third division for a year, he already has an in-depth understanding of the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and knows the disadvantages of lack of money, but he can't find a solution.
"He stopped the purchase, and the merchant who was supposed to sell the goods lost the business, and the ...... The artisans or the common people who make these goods lose this income...... If you keep counting it, the Great Song Dynasty will lose this tax, and countless people will lose their income...... Your Majesty, when Qin Wei said about economic growth, the minister's understanding is that there are countless more businesses, so that countless people will have more income, and the court will have more taxes...... That's the economy. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Zhao Zhen was thinking about these words, and was interrupted by this voice, and when he looked at it with a straight face, it was Qin Wei who was applauding.
Qin Wei couldn't help but applaud, he didn't expect Yan Shu to be able to say this after the third division.
Who dares to say that Yan Shu is just a literati, Qin Wei at this moment dares to fight with him.
Qin Wei stopped applauding in embarrassment.
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "In this way, it is actually ...... A small transaction of business will increase the income of all walks of life, and a lack of money will cause these businesses to stagnate or decrease...... The consequence is that those people's incomes are reduced, and the taxes paid by the government are reduced...... In other words, the prosperity of the people and the DPRK requires the continuous growth of commerce......"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Wei's joy was felt even by Zhao Zhen.
Did he think I wasn't stupid, so he was happy?
Zhao Zhen was a little entangled in this joy.
"Copper money can't be done!"
Qin Wei first gave the copper money a bad medicine: "Your Majesty, the value of the copper coin is too low, but the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is too large, if you use all the copper coins, it will not be enough, and it will be very troublesome." Copper mining and smelting are troublesome, which is not in the interests of the DPRK and China. ”
This is like the later generations only issued one yuan of steel hammer, but under the huge economic volume, carrying a large amount of steel hammer has become a big trouble.
And one of the most critical problems is that the minting cost of copper coins is not low, which makes the issuance of currency by the DPRK and China an unprofitable business......
Anyone in the future will say that it is not cost-effective to issue copper coins, but what can the Great Song Dynasty use to replace copper coins at this moment?
"There is too little gold and silver to do."
The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty knew this, so they were entangled, gold and silver could not appear as currency, so what else? It's just copper coins!
Headache!
"Therefore, the minister thinks that the only way out is the paper money ......"
