Chapter 64: Self-impression is the most embarrassing thing

 The next day, Li Shoujie was as poor as crazy and went around exchanging money, even exchanging two thousand south dollars for one tael of silver. Thanks to the deliberate publicity of some thoughtful people, most of the people in Kaifeng City knew about it.

Everyone’s first reaction was, crazy.

It used to be that 800 or even 700 coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver, but now it was reduced to 2,000 coins in one breath. Li Shoujie actually wanted to swallow such a huge loss?

He is Li Jun's son!

Li Jun, he was the most tyrannical king in the entire Song Dynasty who had just overthrown the Northern Han Dynasty. Even Zhao Kuangyin had to give him three points, and he was able to withstand the Western Front border defense by himself!

Doesn’t he even have a way out?

This represents Taiyuan and the Yanmen Pass defense line. This is all military expenditure. The sky is about to fall. Is it possible for the officials to accept compensation? They would rather reduce the military expenditure on the Western Front than save them?

Are officials so cruel?

Are you so determined to ban Nan Qian this time?

Then we ordinary people are still having fun!

Everyone in the world panicked for a while, but even so, even if Li Shoujie accepted the compensation like vomiting blood and exchanged money, he only exchanged less than 20,000 yuan in two days.

People in this era have no awareness of currency wars at all, and panic is extremely easy to contagious. Everyone feels that Nanqian is really going to be abolished, and from now on they can only melt and sell copper and iron.

, if you don’t sell it today, the price will fall even harder tomorrow. No one knows when it will end.

So much so that at first the merchants in Kaifeng City were willing to trade with Li Shoujie, but later no one was willing to trade with him, for fear of getting back a pile of scrap metal.

Even if it is copper, melting the copper still costs money!

Li Shoujie represents the King of Jin, represents Taiyuan, and represents the military expenditure on the Western Front. He has accepted the two thousand yuan. Who among us ordinary people has the ability and face of the King of Jin? If he accepts two thousand yuan as compensation, this money will fall into your hands.

Li, can you compensate two thousand?

After a few days, Zhao Kuangyin could no longer sit still and hurriedly summoned Li Shoujie.

"What on earth are you doing? Are you serious about paying two thousand? If you can't, come to me! I'll give you money in exchange. No matter how poor the court is, it can't lack anything but military expenses! What are you thinking in your mind? You

What is going on in dad’s mind?”

In the early Song Dynasty, the financial power of the border governors was extremely great. After the implementation of the two-government tax system, the fiscal and tax revenue of one government was used for the daily expenses of the army, while the taxes of the other government were nominally the private property of the governor.<

/p>

That is to say, Jieduzhi could spend the money however he wanted. The court did not have any supervision measures and could not control it. Therefore, Li Yun loaned 500,000 guan to Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Kuangyin in one breath. There was nothing he could do about it, so Li Shouchie

No matter what he does, Zhao Kuangyin can only do it in a hurry.

Of course, if any military commander really dares to put all this money into his pocket, it is guaranteed that the tooth soldiers under his command will come to him with swords the next day. These guys are better than censors, disciplinary committees, etc.

The efficiency is much higher.

Facing Zhao Kuangyin's questioning, Li Shoujie really didn't know how to answer. He could only lower his head, rub his hands, and look like he was constipated.

"Speak!"

"I...I really don't know what to say."

"What do you mean you don't know what to say? Tell the truth!"

"I...I...I'm wronged, official. This is all what King Qin asked me to do."

"The third child?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked confused.

"Isn't he still accepting money from Nan? I'm still waiting for him to take the initiative to come to me to admit defeat and ask for help. How come... he can't stand it anymore? What you are doing is nonsense! He can't stand it anymore, let him come to me

Ah! What are you doing to harm you? How can military and national affairs be such a trivial matter?"

"No, no, it's not that I can't stand it any longer. Your Highness, he said, Nan Qian is falling too slowly. If we hoard it on a large scale now, it will rise in the future... He dislikes the small profit, so he asked me to make such a show,

In this way, when Nan money rises sharply in the future, he can... earn more. He said that this year he will earn back all the money he will make in the next ten years..."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, the less confident he became, and the less he dared to speak.

Because Zhao Kuangyin’s face is getting bluer and greener.

"That is to say, when Nan Qian fell to this extent, Lao San not only didn't pay for it, but did he do it on purpose?"

"Yes, almost all money worth less than 2,000 yuan... is collected secretly by him."

Zhao Kuangyin felt as if a team of Khitan cavalry had stepped through his internal organs. The expression on his face could not help but change again and again, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

I thought that I had already won this battle, but Zhao Guangmei was just talking nonsense and was still planning to talk to him someday. If he lost a lot of money, he even planned to squeeze some money from the treasury to make up for his shortfall.

He couldn't help but be moved by himself. Where could he find such a good brother?

He had already thought about what he should say when Zhao Guangmei begged him for mercy and acted like a scoundrel. He had thought about how to beat him lightly. He had even thought about how to act as a role model for brothers and sisters. He had thought about it all.

How was he going to ask for this merit when he arrived in front of Empress Dowager Du?

It ended up causing trouble for a long time. Did he do it on purpose?

I was moved for a long time, but it turned out that I was just being sentimental.

And until now, the third child actually still firmly believed that he would fail.

It took a long time before Zhao Kuangyin calmed down, bit his back molars and choked out one word from between his teeth: "Get out!"

When Li Shoujie heard this, he kowtowed repeatedly and ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.

The power of the official family is so scary.

Zhao Kuangyin stayed in the palace and was so angry that he almost went crazy. In the end, he felt so uncomfortable that he simply went to the back garden with his slingshot to shoot birds.

At the same time, Zhao Guangmei once again came to the He Controlling Army to list and exchange Nanqian.

"They are all warriors who have fought for the country. Your money is all loyalty money earned by licking blood! No matter how poor the army is, no matter how miserable the soldiers are, today, I, Zhao Guangmei, have risked my life, even if it means losing money.

, I also admitted it, one tael of silver, exchanged for 1,800 Wennan! I want as much as I want, I’ll take it all!”

"But as agreed, each soldier can only exchange for two taels of silver at most. Only the Forbidden Army can exchange it, and outsiders will never be allowed to exchange it!"

This price, in the past, was simply a money grab.

However, at this time, the money kept falling, and it was almost falling to more than two thousand. He collected one thousand and eighty. Isn't this a proper compensation for himself and a charity?

This is a benefit for the Imperial Army!

Others simply think that the government officials must be behind this, and the officials are also afraid that the money in everyone's hands will be reduced to scrap metal, which will affect morale.

So what are you waiting for? Who knows when such a great thing will stop? Who knows how much money His Highness the King of Qin has that can be exchanged? Even if he is behind the treasury, there is no money in the treasury now, how can everyone still not count it?

?After the Chenqiao mutiny, didn’t 90% of the money in the treasury go to them?
