A tiny butterfly in the middle of a tropical jungle, flapping its wings, will soon set off a storm in the distance.

The butterfly effect, which was extremely prevalent in later generations, and between the Liao Dynasty and the Jurchens, the butterfly effect was quietly brewing!

Millennial ginseng! The medicine that can sustain life has been sought after by countless people, and its impact is naturally more profound.

However, the butterfly effect caused by ginseng had already affected the Great Song Dynasty before the Jurchens appeared.

"The household department has no money?"

In the vertical arch hall, Fan Zheng's eyes widened and he said incredulously.

He was applying for money from the imperial court to carry out the ginseng plan, but he didn't expect to get such a response.

"Not bad! It's true that the household department has run out of money. "The head of the household, Fan is purely helpless.

In the Song and Liao countries, there has been a ginseng craze, which is naturally indispensable to the promotion of doctors and the court, seeing that things are going well, the Liao State and the Jurchens have successfully taken the bait, and the court has no money to promote, so it is not a failure.

"How can the imperial court have no money! Last year, the imperial court just issued a treasury bond of 5 million. Fan Zheng didn't believe it at all, the five million national bonds were still guaranteed in the name of the doctor, and in the end, the five million national bonds were sold out and directly charged into the treasury, why was the imperial court still short of money?

Fan Chun said with a wry smile: "The imperial court did issue five million treasury bonds, but the two battles of Pingxia City consumed a lot of grain and grass, plus the battle of Qingtang in the west, the ordnance supervisor built cold forging armor, cotton armor, earth-shaking thunder, civil construction of water conservancy, and the .................. used to change the law in various places." ”

Fan Chun listed the expenses of the court one by one, and the entire court was in an uproar.

With the support of five million yuan, the Great Song Dynasty did win one big war, but once again drained the treasury.

"Since ginseng has medicinal value, why not let the doctor take the medicine, so that it can not only cure diseases and save people, but also carry out the ginseng plan." Cai Jing had a suspicious suggestion and wanted to spread the cost of the ginseng project to the doctors.

The eyes of the New Party officials could not help but light up, a thousand-year-old ginseng is worth a thousand yuan, and a hundred-year-old ginseng is also worth a lot of money, so the expenses required are extremely huge, and it would be better if the money was paid by a wealthy doctor.

"The minister thinks this strategy is feasible!" Lu Dafang also took the opportunity to fall into the stone road.

At that moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng expectantly.

Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The official family, the doctor can buy ginseng, but he can only buy ginseng within ten years, and he can't buy the old ginseng of the previous year, let alone the thousand-year-old ginseng." ”

Why is that? Isn't the ginseng of the previous year more medicinal value, how can doctors not need it? Cai Jing asked,

The other ministers also frowned, in his opinion, Fan Zheng's push was just for the sake of the doctor's less money.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Because it's fair!" ”

"Fair?"

The ministers couldn't help but be surprised? looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.

Fan Zheng explained: "Within 10 years, ginseng has the lowest price and the highest yield, which is enough to meet the medicinal needs of doctors, and doctors can supply all patients with medicines. However, the more ginseng in the previous year, the more scarce, so that the thousand-year-old ginseng is even more unavoidable, everyone has a death, and the ginseng that is more than 100 years old is extremely difficult to find, and the doctor can supply a few people, rather than so, it is better not to open the old ginseng. ”

Su Song nodded and said: "That's true, and the hundred-year-old ginseng is a medicine that sustains life, its price is expensive, and the rich and noble can afford it, if it is an ordinary family, I am afraid that if it is forcibly medicated, it will only be empty of people and money." It is better for the people to buy 100-year-old ginseng, so that life and death have a destiny and a destiny. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, what Fan Zheng said is not unreasonable, suffering from widowhood and unevenness, ginseng that is more than 100 years old is already scarce, and whoever uses it or not gives it to anyone will cause disputes.

However, Zhao Xu frowned again, now that the imperial court has no money, and the doctors will only buy ginseng within ten years, if they want to exacerbate the conflict between the Liao Dynasty and the Jurchens, it is necessary to maintain a high price of ginseng, which requires a lot of money to maintain.

"What's more, due to the first issuance of treasury bonds, the credibility is not high, and most of the people buy one-year treasury bonds, which are full of 3 million yuan, and seeing that this part of the treasury bonds is about to mature, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the household department to cash out such a huge amount of money in a short period of time!" Fan Chun broke another shocking news.

The courtiers were in an uproar, you must know that the treasury bonds are different from Jiaozi, they can continue to be printed, and the treasury bonds are bound to the credit of the imperial court, and after expiration, they will have to pay real money directly with interest.

If the court breaks the contract, it will definitely cause an uproar, and more importantly, once the court is unable to pay the national debt, when the court needs money in the future, I am afraid that no Song people will be willing to buy the national debt.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Could it be that I can't even raise three million yuan?" ”

Fan Chunli nodded and said, "The minister does have a way to raise three million yuan of national debt, but in this way, the imperial court's plan is probably about to come to a standstill." ”

Zhao Xu suddenly fell into a dilemma, how happy he was when he spent the money, how painful it was when he repaid the money now, and once the national debt was paid, many of his plans would not be implemented.

"The reputation of the imperial court is the first, and the old minister thinks that the national debt should be paid first!" Lu Dafang said righteously.

The old party had long been unaccustomed to Zhao Xu's various largesse, and now they chimed in, preparing to use the national debt to let Zhao Xu implement a policy of reducing expenditure.

"No! Now that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, Lianxi Xia and Qingtang have more ways to deal with the Liao State, if it is interrupted, I am afraid that the good situation will be ruined. Zhang Duan retorted directly.

The views of the New Party immediately aroused the approval of hundreds of officials, and such a good situation can be said to be unprecedented in the 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the good opportunity is missed, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will regret it.

"There is one side of the minister, which is enough to make the court credit worry-free, and can raise enough money for the Great Song Dynasty to complete His Majesty's great cause." Suddenly, a voice sounded in the vertical arch hall, and the eyes of the ministers couldn't help but look at the evil doctor Fan Zheng, such a style of speech and the appearance of a big package were very similar to Fan Zheng's.

However, when everyone looked over, they found that Fan Zheng was still moving, and everyone was stunned, so they shifted their eyes to a minister beside Fan Zheng.

Cai Jing, the squire of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Lord Cai, is there a good way?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised.

Cai Jing said proudly: "Your Majesty, the issuance of treasury bonds this time, the people are extremely enthusiastic to buy, it can be seen that the treasury bonds are extremely popular among the people, as long as the imperial court pays the treasury bonds on time, it will definitely make the credibility of the treasury bonds go further." ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty nodded one after another, most of the wealth of the people is gold, silver and copper money, and the transportation and storage are extremely inconvenient, and Jiaozi has the risk of depreciation.

"In this case, why don't the imperial court find five million treasury bonds, no, this time it can issue seven million treasury bonds, so that it can not only ensure that the treasury bonds are paid on schedule, so that the treasury bonds are credit-free, but also raise more funds for the imperial court." Cai Jing said solemnly.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up suddenly, in this way, the credibility of the treasury bonds can be guaranteed, and the more treasury bonds issued can also allow the imperial court to do more things.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also nodded one after another, this is indeed a good prescription.

"This is an evil recipe!"

Suddenly, another voice resounded through the arched hall. (End of chapter)
