Chapter 200: Inflation
Thirty taels of silver, but the actual amount is only seven and a half taels, which has shrunk four times!
And not once or twice, but for months on end!
Qian Shi has already come to collect debts, and he can still use his official body to block it back last time.
Neither can a man who can be a ruler fail to obey the law!
Don't talk about him, it's the Marquis of Wuling's Mansion who owed money and silver at the beginning, didn't they all pay back honestly later?
It is a matter of course to repay debts, even if the king of heaven comes, it is useless.
If he can't afford to repay the ......, then his house will be taken away by the money and used as collateral.
So where did his family of three go to sleep?
Do you really want to sleep on the street and beg?
"You're going to make trouble in the household? Can't find death? Zhang Ying also shouted loudly!
He didn't know why the officials hadn't been adjusted yet, but the order he received was to issue it as usual.
Including his own salary, the same.
"Today, you must give me an explanation, otherwise, I will really make trouble!" Li Xin made a loud noise, slapped his palm on the table, and made a loud bang.
"What a big guts! No, there is a copy of the wooden flail! If you don't? ”
"Dare to come to the household department to make trouble, believe it or not, you will spend the rest of your life in prison?"
"Hehe, Tobe, it's really a big shelf! Lao Tzu is still a ministry! Li Xin was completely angry, only to feel a fire from his lower abdomen, which kept going up, until he reached his chest and burned into his skull!
Furious, he couldn't care much more.
slapped hard and threw it in the face of the household member Wailang in front of him!
Syllable!
A crisp slap sounded, Zhang Ying stayed in place, and the whole person was stunned.
He was beaten!
It's still in the household.,Hit in your own territory!
"You're so daring!" Zhang Ying also roared hysterically, and then rushed out of the case and scuffled with Li Xin!
……
At this moment, in the warm pavilion, Emperor Jing Xing was discussing important matters with the three elders of the cabinet.
The main thing is that today's money seems to be less and less valuable!
A silver ticket of one hundred taels can only be exchanged for fifty taels of silver ingots at most.
And fifty taels of silver ingots can buy at most twenty-five taels of grain worth of silver.
In this way, the value of the silver ticket has shrunk by four times!
This incident was discovered by Jia Pingsheng at first.
After discovering it, I immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and if it could not be solved in time, the entire monetary system of the Great Qianchao Dynasty would collapse completely!
Then he called Zhang Zifang and Lin Han, and came directly to the warm pavilion to report to Emperor Jingxing.
But the four of them discussed and discussed, and they never studied a countermeasure.
After all, if you want to come up with a countermeasure, you must first understand the cause!
Most of the reasons why silver tickets are worthless are because they are printed too much.
In this regard, the ancestors and ancestors of Daqian have already left a bloody lesson.
Emperor Jing Xing naturally would not commit it again, so over the years, the silver tickets printed by Daqian every year have been at a constant value, even if there are ups and downs, the ups and downs are not big, and they are always within a fixed range.
But even so, something happened!
Who is going to reason with this?
However, just when the four of them were anxious, Zheng Ying took three steps and made two steps and hurriedly walked in.
After taking a breath, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, there is someone in the household department who is making trouble, and a fight has already started!" ”
When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, and asked, "What is the cause?" ”
"Today was supposed to be the day of the distribution of the stipends, and it is probably because of this." Jia Pingsheng guessed.
"Lord Shoufu guessed well, and the servant Yu Shi felt that this month's Yu Lu was too low."
"Too low?" When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he was immediately displeased, and said: "The hundred officials are ruled by the household department at the beginning of this year, and it is reasonable to consider it for a long time. ”
"Why do you think it's too low?"
"It's... The minions don't know either. Zheng Ying was a little helpless and said truthfully.
He is a eunuch, and he does not go out of the palace gate on weekdays, and he does not step out of the second gate, that is, when he transmits the holy decree, he can take advantage of the gap to go out of the palace to take a look.
But even so, it is limited, how can we understand the market of grain and meat.
It was Jia Pingsheng who stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, it should be a matter of silver tickets." ”
"Nowadays, the silver ticket is not smooth among the people, and it is better to change the grain to the officials."
When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "That's official silver!" ”
The money issued by the imperial court to the hundred officials, whether it is a silver ingot or a silver ticket, is stamped with a special seal, indicating that this is an official product and has a stronger representativeness and circulation.
In the private sector, if an official silver ticket is exchanged for an unofficial silver ticket, it can often be exchanged for an additional 20% profit!
You can see its scarcity!
Emperor Jing Xing originally thought that no matter how troublesome the matter of this silver ticket was, it would not affect the official bank.
But now it seems that it is a little whimsical.
The people don't even recognize the official silver tickets, so you can imagine what the situation of the rest of the silver tickets is, if you let it go again, I'm afraid that it won't be long before it will be no different from waste paper!
"Zheng Ying, you take people and exchange all the officials' salaries for equivalent grain distribution."
"In addition, after you finish it, call King Jing and the crown prince to Nuan Ge."
When Zheng Ying heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "No! ”
Then turn around and leave!
……
After a long time, the crown prince Liu Yu received the will and drove to the palace.
And when he arrived, he found that Liu Jing was already waiting in front of the palace gate, and when he saw him coming, he greeted him with a smile: "Brother Huang." ”
Although Liu Jing is older than him, he is the eldest of the great cadres, not to mention that he is the crown prince, so it is reasonable for Liu Jing to be called the emperor's brother.
However, when Liu Yu heard this, he ignored him at all, ordered his subordinates, and drove straight into the palace gate.
In his opinion, between him and Liu Jing, it was almost torn apart.
At this time, he has to greet him with a smile, and to be honest, he can't do it.
Therefore, I can only cross my eyebrows and face coldly.
Seeing this, Liu Jing was not annoyed, and drove to follow. Anyway, in his impression, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been such a nobody.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at the warm pavilion together.
They all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Son, I have seen my father." ”
"Well, get up."
"Master Jia, tell them about the situation."
When Jia Pingsheng heard this, he immediately stood up and talked about inflation and the depreciation of silver bills from beginning to end.
After listening, Liu Yuru was struck by lightning, and immediately turned his head and stared at Liu Jing.
But he knew that his hundreds of thousands of taels of silver ...... Let's think it's my own, but it's all to fill the hole of the counterfeit money found in Chen Qianyuan's secret room.
And where this counterfeit money came from, it goes without saying.
If there are more counterfeit money, there will be more silver tickets, and over time, won't it depreciate?
So this matter, in the final analysis, will fall on Liu Jing!
