If it was in the past, it would be impossible to find the major treasurers in Qiyun Prefecture within an hour.

These shopkeepers are stationed in their respective cities on weekdays, and only today, it happens to coincide with the annual reconciliation day, and the major shopkeepers have come to the headquarters to reconcile the accounts, which has brought everyone together in an hour.

Half an hour later, a total of six people gathered in a conference room on the second floor of the headquarters.

Sitting at the top is naturally the big shopkeeper Yun Li, and the first person sitting on his left hand side is the fat second shopkeeper Jin Bao with a kind smile on his face.

The first person on the right hand side is a sturdy and meaty Lingyun intermarketer.

Further down to the left and right are Huang Li, the fourth shopkeeper of Cloud City, who looks like a thin scribe, and Xiao Huohuo, the fifth shopkeeper of Dingyang City, who is dressed in a strong suit and has a well-proportioned figure.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yun Li had no intention of selling Guan Zi, so he immediately passed on the information sent back from the capital one by one, so that everyone could see it with their own eyes, and then Yun Li said:

"You have also seen the news from the emperor's side, so our next job is to inform the merchants in each jurisdiction of this matter, but there is one point that the emperor also emphasized in the letter.

Kannai is not a Kannai, let alone a foreign territory, and the way they did business in the past cannot be used in Kannai.

That's his own people, the reason why the emperor let them enter the customs is also clear to everyone, that is to help restore the economy in the north of the customs, if anyone is greedy for profit, for the gold and silver to ruin the prince's big things......"

When Yun Li said this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light!

The five shopkeepers at the bottom also turned fierce.

The second shopkeeper Jinbao smiled like a smiling Buddha, and said with a smile:

"Then we'll let him pay for not even his pants!

All his suppliers were cut off, all channels refused to cooperate with him, and the Chamber of Commerce specifically targeted him, just a bun and a green onion, and he didn't want to sell it where there was our Feiyun Commercial Bank! ”

The shopkeeper of Lingyun Mutual Market's Bao Gongtou sneered:

"Jin Shopkeeper, you are still too merciful, the emperor gave them the opportunity to make money, since they dare to make trouble with the emperor, then as long as his goods are on the road in the future, the horse bandits will definitely be able to intercept and kill again and again! I'll see how many of his goods can be robbed! ”

Huang Li from Cloud City and Xiao Huohuo from Dingyang City nodded hurriedly.

Xiao Huohuo even said: "No matter what business he does at that time, all the similar businesses in Yunzhong City and Dingyang City will open stores around him, and we will give those merchants a tax reduction and exemption policy, and the quality will be better than him, the price will be lower than his, and see how his business is done!" ”

Huang Li echoed: "That's right! That's it! ”

Seeing that everyone looked united, Yun Li nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at the crowd, he immediately said:

"Well, since everyone has a consensus on this matter, then I won't talk any more nonsense, you will pass on the news of the emperor as soon as possible, and now the emperor of the cities in the north that has been ravaged by the Huns has arranged for the disaster victims to rebuild.

Most of the original merchants were killed by the Xiongnu when the Xiongnu entered the Koukou.

Whoever goes first in the market share that is vacated now will get it first.

We do not prohibit competition among merchants, but we must ensure healthy competition and do not deliberately disrupt market prices for the sake of competing for the sake of a moment.

In addition, the merchants who have arranged the past in advance this time are grain merchants and salt merchants...... and other basic commodities first, first to ensure the daily life of the people in the customs.

Do you still have any doubts? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Yun Li nodded and said, "Okay, then this meeting will be like this." ”

Immediately, Yun Li turned his head to the clerk who recorded the meeting on the side and said, "Send a copy of today's meeting minutes to Bianjing to the emperor." ”

The clerk nodded hurriedly.

That was the end of the meeting, but the impact of the content had only just begun.

When the five treasurers returned to their respective jurisdictions, they immediately gathered all the heads of the business community in their jurisdictions.

It is worth mentioning here that no matter where it is, Feiyun Commercial Bank is the largest local commercial bank, and with an official background, the president of the chamber of commerce jointly composed of commercial banks in each place is the chief treasurer of Feiyun Commercial Bank.

Feiyun also has a strong control over the local business community.

And when these heads and brains learned the news that they could enter the customs, they all became excited.

It was only when it was said that the first batch of people to enter must be grain merchants and other basic daily necessities merchants that they calmed down a little.

Then the shopkeepers said the emperor's forbidden matters, and everyone agreed after thinking about it.

The merchants who received the news began to prepare, and the roads on the side of Yunzhou County began to be cleared all the way.

Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the minutes of the meeting sent by the cloud shopkeeper, saying that I want to present it to you.

”

Wang Huaien respectfully presented a copy of the meeting minutes to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun was a little puzzled, but he still nodded and took it.

After reading it, he laughed on the spot and said:

"Yunli, this guy is reminding me that those people have no money in their hands now, and it's useless for the merchants to pass, and letting the basic merchants come over first means that the court will not be responsible for the grain in the future, so that the food I send to the people can be exchanged for money, so that it can be circulated for commerce."

After a pause, Zhao Jun thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, Wang will accompany you to Xuanzhanghe to enter the palace to see me once." ”

"No!"

Wang Huaien quickly left the palace and came to the prime minister's mansion with people.

When Zhang He heard that the new emperor wanted to see him, he was quite surprised.

But then he quickly prepared, and then followed Wang Huaien into the palace together.

"Weichen Zhanghe, I've seen Your Majesty! Your Majesty? ”

"Zhen'an, Zhang Xiang is exempt, Wang Companion still doesn't bring a chair to Zhang Xiang?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In the Baohe Palace, Zhao Jun met with Zhang He.

After Zhang He sat down on the chair with half of his buttocks, Zhao Jun went straight to the point and said, "I summoned Zhang Xiang here today because I want Zhang Xiang to do something. ”

Zhang He immediately got up and arched his hand: "Please show your majesty, the minister will definitely do his best!" ”

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "Zhang Xiang doesn't have to be excited, sit." ”

Zhang He then sat back.

Zhao Jun continued: "I plan to exchange the food paid to the victims for money, what does Zhang Xiang think? ”

Zhang He was originally very calm, but when he heard this, he was immediately shocked, and quickly stood up and objected:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! These victims all survived by relying on the imperial court to earn food through work.

The major merchants in the north have basically disappeared because of the Huns, and there is no market at all, if Your Majesty at this time you exchange the food you give to the victims for gold and silver, even if you have the silver, the people will have no place to spend, and there will be no food at that time, and the people will really make trouble! ”

Zhang He analyzed the pros and cons and vigorously opposed it.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was still unmoved, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is it because there is not enough food?" ”

He can only guess like this, otherwise he can't think of why His Majesty suddenly exchanged grain for money, but think about it, since the beginning of disaster relief, Feiyun Commercial Bank has transferred more than seven million stones of grain from all over the world, even if the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is now the first chamber of commerce in the world, so much food is afraid that the Chamber of Commerce has been hollowed out.

It is natural that there is not enough food, but this food is enough for more than 8 million victims to eat for a month or two!

Wait, a month or two......

Zhang He suddenly seemed to remember something.

Yes, not only do the people have no food, but also the imperial court, and the operation of the army and the support of hundreds of officials are also food.

These add up to more than 7 million stones, which may not be enough for two months.

But even that can't be exchanged for silver!

Once the eight million victims are no longer alive, who will be able to withstand it?

Zhao Jun saw that he actually thought that he had no food, and he immediately cried and laughed.

The grain that has been shipped so far is only the grain stored in his two granaries, which is just a small meaning for himself.

Compared with the grain storage in Yunzhou County over the years, it is even more a drop in the bucket.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Jun still explained it to him, so as not to make the prime minister think about it.

Immediately listened to Zhao Jundao: "No, there is still food, mainly because I plan to bring merchants from Yunzhou County to restore the economy in the north, but now the people have no money in their hands, even if the merchants come, they have no money to buy goods, and the economy cannot be recovered."

That's why I want to exchange the wages for the people.

Zhang Xiang can rest assured that the first batch of people who came over were grain merchants and other basic material merchants, and they could meet the people's food needs. ”

"So? It's not that there is a shortage of food! ”

Although Zhang He still had some doubts about whether he was out of food, since His Majesty had said so, then he believed it.

But it is still not possible to directly exchange it for wages, when he said: "Your Majesty, your idea is a good thing, but the court can't do this, although you are for the good of the victims, but most of the people can only see what is in front of them, and it is difficult for the people to accept the rash exchange of edible food for gold and silver that may not be used."

Let's go step by step, and distribute half of the grain and half of the gold and silver, so that the people can accept it.

When the merchants have settled down and the people can buy things with the silver, we will replace them completely. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jun immediately nodded and said:

"It's still Zhang Xiang's thoughtfulness, but I was too impatient and didn't take into account the acceptance of the people.

Okay, since that's the case, then do what you say.

From tomorrow, we will gradually change the work grain to half the grain and half the money, so that the people can adapt to it first! ”

"No! Your Majesty is wise! ”

Zhang He immediately got up and agreed, and patted a sycophant by the way.

Zhao Jun smiled.

After reaching an agreement with Zhanghe.

At the court meeting the next day, Zhao Jun raised the matter, and then under the singing and harmony of the monarch and the minister, this proposal was successfully passed and conveyed by the court.

On the third day, when the workers who had just left duty went to receive today's grain, they suddenly found that the grain had turned into half grain and half silver, and they were dumbfounded!
