Chapter 0333: Under the war, money and food go first
"Lord, the money village is the place where the world's money and things gather, the price of goods in the world is not only determined by the number of things and the lack of things, but also the amount of money in the world, if there is less copper, the natural copper is expensive, if there is more silver, the natural silver is cheap, according to the poor road, the key to regulating the money is the money village!"
"Do you mean to influence the amount of silver money in circulation in the world through the money bank?" "......King Zhenbei's eyes opened suddenly, touched his chin, and began to ponder, and then looked up at Wang Feiyi, only to find that Wang Feiyi was looking at him, so he waved his hand and said, "Go on, you continue!"
"Lord Wang, when you go to the bank to deposit money today, you have to teach a savings fee, so as to save the fee on your behalf, that is, if you don't pay this fee, what if the money bank gives interest to the depositor in turn?"
"Interest to depositors?" King Zhenbei gasped, this was the first time he had heard of interest to depositors, and the figure behind the bamboo curtain seemed to be a little touched.
"Lord, this money bank is complicated to say, but if we simply say that the income can be divided into two parts, one part is to collect money from depositors and use it as a storage fee, and the other part is to lend out the money in hand in exchange for usury! Since the money bank uses the money of depositors to make money, it is not just a simple storage, that is, the depositors do not pay savings fees, in fact, the money bank also earns, so it is reasonable to give interest to those depositors who have stored for a long time. As far as the 'money bank' is concerned, the interest rate given to the depositors is low, and the less money the bank deposits, the more money is lent out, and there is more money in the world; the interest rate for the depositors is high, and the more money is deposited in the bank, the more money is recycled, and naturally the world has less money!"
"That's right, if you say this, it can indeed affect the value of the world's coins, and what?" Wang Fei's words opened up a perspective for the three people present, including the king of Zhenbei, who had never been considered, and countless thoughts came out in his heart for a while, but the king of Zhenbei still had to listen to what Wang Feiyu had to say.
"Lord Wang, in the past, copper and silver banknotes were issued from Zhongzhou, as a substitute for inconvenient copper coins and silver, but now the distribution of paper banknotes in the north can no longer let the south have the final say!
"That's right, is there anything else?" said King Zhenbei with his hands together.
"Lord Wang, that's all Poor Dao thinks about now!
"Recently, there has been a shortage of grain in Youzhou, I believe you have heard of it, what do you think of this grain and grass?" Although Wang Feiwei had some excuses, the king of Zhenbei did not intend to let Wang Feizhi go, because a lot of what he wrote such as "Jin Ge Iron Horse" has been exposed, even if it is on paper, the king of Zhenbei also wants to hear it.
"Lord Wang, in the long run, we should find crops with large yields and suitable for Youzhou, and there is also the south, although the road is broken, but Tanzhou is a large grain-producing state, even if we only occupy a small part of Tianxing Mountain, we should not be abandoned. ”
"That's just a long view, it can't quench your thirst!" said King Zhenbei and shook his head.
"Back to the prince, I was not prepared when the poor road came, and there was no way to be too effective for a while, but from the perspective of the poor road, for the time being, in the case of not being able to open up the source immediately, the only way to mobilize grain and grass in Yunzhou and Zezhou, and at the same time to issue a decree to 'throttle', should control the sale of grain, if you can, you can implement a grain rationing system among the people!"
"What does it mean to be regulated?
"Lord Wang, this grain itself is a matter of survival, let alone in such a period. At present, the observance of grain prices is that the imperial court should directly limit the maximum price of grain with a strong hand based on the hardships of the battlefield, and at the same time stipulate the maximum amount that each household and each person can buy per month. In fact, it's not just the rationing system, I flipped through the laws and found that our Yanhua did not have clear laws to deal with this special period when the country was in danger, and some of them were very scattered...... "Wang Feiyu talked about some of the wartime practices in his previous life according to what he thought in his heart, but in fact, what the king of Zhenbei will do depends on the control of the imperial court and the support of each major faction.
Listening to Wang Fei's account, King Zhenbei would also ask some questions from time to time, and this conversation took a day......
At night, after Wang Feifei left, King Zhenbei arched his hands to the bamboo curtain on the left, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"It's worthy of being the 'porter' of the Grandmaster, but he is very talented, but according to what he said, will this move cause turmoil?"
"Listening to what Wang Daochang said, Weichen thinks carefully, it is indeed feasible, especially this usury policy, which is a policy to lay the foundation for His Majesty's livelihood!"
"Uncle Huang, do you really think so, but this is a lot of resistance to replacing usury with low interest rates!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry! The usurers are mainly locals in Youzhou, and to deal with these people, you can borrow those who followed Your Majesty all the way north to Youzhou, and let them establish a money bank in accordance with the new regulations, gain a firm foothold at low interest rates, suppress the locality, and restore order, Your Majesty only needs to give some support. ”
"Uncle Huang, if you support outsiders like this, won't you let Uncle Huang be evil on this side of Youzhou?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen is just acting impartially!"
"Act impartially? What is the way for the emperor's undefeated 'food' policy?"
"Your Majesty! At present, the war is tight, and the judgment is constantly being chaotic, but in terms of execution, Wei Chen thinks that it should be divided into two steps. The first step is to operate locally. After they arrived, for the loss of this northward journey, they took advantage of the continuous war in Youzhou, bought a large amount of Youzhou grain, and messed up the price of grain.
"It is indeed a good means to let the outsiders make money to win the trust of the people and gain a firm foothold, and let the local people manage the grain business well and stabilize their own interests, and at the same time borrow these two to contain each other!"
"Your Majesty! Youzhou has been fighting for many years, and the local merchants have their own accounts in their hearts, and they generally won't do anything in the matter of food, but they have recently been affected by external influences and caused some chaos, but as long as these hands and feet with deep roots are cut off, then the local self will converge, that is, it will not converge, and Weichen will also have a way to deal with it!"
"What about the second step there?"
"As long as Your Majesty allows it, change the king's undefeated mind a little according to local conditions, and issue a holy decree that merchants outside Youzhou are not allowed to deal in grain during wartime, and those usurers are allowed to use grain as a deposit, and Jiangyang should be able to recover part of the grain. As for the rest, it will be handed over to Bafangmen, and it will be enough to assist Youzhou Mansion to deal with it, if it is implemented well in Youzhou, it will be implemented in Yunzhou and Zezhou, and there will be less resistance!"
"What do those sects say?"
"Your Majesty in Youzhou and Yunzhou is a border guarding sect for most of the words, as long as the laws and regulations are reasonable, they will only stand on our side, and there will be no other opinions, as for Zezhou, it depends on Ye Tiantian Ye Houye!"
"Ye Houye, by the way, he is a disciple of Tianfeng City, as long as Tianfeng City agrees, there should be no problem with Zezhou Martial Arts. After saying that, the fifth hundredth blade instructed the king of Zhenbei, "In this case, then tomorrow morning the court will discuss it with the ministers, and then the matter of this grain will be handed over to the imperial uncle! After finishing speaking, the fifth hundredth blade looked at the bamboo curtain on the left side of the king of Zhenbei again, "Imperial sister, do you think this 'porter' can be appointed to an official position?"
"Your Majesty, this king is not defeated but a Taoist priest, and his human nature is not the kind of person who likes to get into trouble! I am afraid that it is not appropriate to appoint an official position, but he is the head of the family in the world, and among the sects involved in the north after the incident in the capital, the sect of that family can be said to have responded positively, and part of the reason is that this 'porter' is in the north, and I heard that most of the families who moved over have set up their homes near Qingyuan Mountain or Tianfeng City. Changyang thought about it and suggested.
"Well! Although most of these families are not big factions, they are also a force, and they are trying to find a way to mobilize them all! By the way! I heard that the relationship between Wang Feiyu and Bai Xiaotang is also very good, and although they have withdrawn most of the forces in Zhongzhou, Guazhou, and Xiazhou, they have not yet made a clear attitude. Imperial sister, you are also familiar with this Wang Feifei, you might as well invite me to be a lobbyist for me!" "After listening to Wang Feifu and King Zhenbei this time, because of those Fifth Hundred Blades who liked Wang Feifei a little, he began to pay more attention to him, and in his opinion, Wang Feifei was the real everyone.
"Your Majesty, it is appropriate for Ye Hou Ye to do this!"
"Ye Hou Ye, yes, yes, they are senior brothers, they can say anything!" As he was speaking, the fifth hundredth blade suddenly made a cooing sound, the sound was not loud, but it was reaching the ears of everyone present.
"Your Majesty, tonight, why don't you have a light meal here at Weichen?"
"It's okay! To be honest, this is the first time I've eaten at Uncle Huang's place! But Uncle Huang! Will this 'money bank' strategy be disadvantageous to unify in the future?"
"Your Majesty, those people are all on the same side now!"
"Hahaha...... That's right! It's already a support party, and the so-called success or defeat of the king can't be complained!" "The meaning of the king of Zhenbei who supports one side is also understood by the fifth hundred.
......
I don't know who the other two bamboo curtains are, Wang Feiyu is not interested in knowing, but on the way back, he took a good look around, he has been busy with various things in the past few days, and now he finally has some time to take a good look at Youzhou, which has been away for a long time-
