Chapter 65 The January period has arrived
"Your Highness! The soldiers on the Western Front are short of military pay and are crying for food. Yelu Xiezhen may lead the elite of the South Academy southward to invade the Song Dynasty at any time. These are the rewards for the soldiers who bravely kill the enemy in the future! Please, Your Highness,
Please, change it for me!"
In the Control He Army, there are no classes or teaching in the two pavilions now. They are all people from the Prince of Qin's Palace. The staff in his palace each set up a small table, and the soldiers lined up to take Nanqian.
Exchange for some silver, gold, silk and other things that can serve as general equivalents.
The Forbidden Army's barracks may indeed have a relatively large amount of Southern money, especially since the He Controlling Army followed Zhao Hongyin to conquer Yangzhou and looted Yangzhou, and the Southern Tang Dynasty also paid a lot of annual tribute over the years.
They were paid directly as military pay, so there were long queues in front of every small table, and the two gazebos were also crowded with people.
Li Shoujie knelt in front of Zhao Guangmei, said all his good things, and begged him to accept his money.
Zhao Guangmei said, I know it’s difficult for you, but it’s difficult for the Forbidden Army after all. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and I really can’t do anything about it. Otherwise, why don’t you give me 100,000 yuan in exchange? No matter how much more, I really don’t dare to exchange it for you.
Ah.
Then, in front of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, Zhao Guangmei actually exchanged truckloads of Nanqian for him.
Then the next day, Li Shoujie would come again, pestering him, and asking Zhao Guangmei to give him a little more in exchange.
.
Then on the third day and the fourth day, Li Shoujie was now completely dependent on Zhao Guangmei. He came to him every day to exchange money, with runny noses and tears, and his words were as emotional as he wanted.
As for Zhao Guangmei, she told him every time that this was the last time and that he could only exchange so much. He wanted to keep more money to protect the interests of the Forbidden Army in Beijing, and then she would change it for him the next day, every time.
Every time is the last time.
It has been like this for seven or eight days in a row. In fact, smart people have noticed that something is wrong.
He, Li Jun, was originally the military envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and is now the King of Jin stationed in Taiyuan. Even if he inherited the Northern Han Dynasty, the people he mainly faced were the Khitan, Dangxiang, and Tubo people. They were far away from the Southern Tang people.
.
It's normal for Li Jun to have some Nanqian in his hand, because Nanqian is indeed a common currency in the world, and even the Khitans recognize it, but you can't have that much!
Which public treasury does not store gold and silver? Who would store copper plates in several warehouses? Was the Northern Han Dynasty so individual in the past?
Even if you are saving copper coins, shouldn’t you be saving Han coins?
This wave of Han coins was also abolished by Zhao Kuangyin. Why did Li Shoujie always take Nan coins, but never took out a penny of Han coins?
After a little calculation, Li Shoujie has exchanged 300,000 to 400,000 yuan of Southern money with Zhao Guangmei in the past few days. Not to mention where Zhao Guangmei got the 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. How can you, Li Shoujie, still have so much change?
Are they all Nanqian conjured out of thin air? Transported all the way from Taiyuan to Kaifeng?
Aren't you two simply playing with each other with your left hand and with the right hand, with the same amount of money going back and forth?
The smart people now saw that there was a problem between them. They were obviously in the same group!
However, it should be said that there are far more fools than smart people at any time, and they are also blind. Even if the truly smart people see the tricks between these two people, they will never dare to say anything.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army naturally felt that this Li Shoujie was really bad. He had more than 300,000 gold in exchange for it. How much money did His Highness King Qin prepare in total?
You have to change it quickly, otherwise it will be changed to the King of Jin! The melon is so big, if the Hedong Army and Zhaoyi Army eat one more bite, our Forbidden Army will eat one less bite!
So much so that no one thought about whether the price was reasonable. In fact, at the price Qin Yilu charged, even if he raised the money and sold copper and iron, he would not necessarily lose money. In fact, there was no need for them to sell it in such a hurry.
Goods.
Then naturally, he broke his head, fought, scrambled, and exchanged the Nanqian in his hand for Zhao Guangmei at a low price. Zhao Guangmei also said to everyone, "Oh, I will pay, I will lose money and almost lose everything."
p>
Just pay, pay, and soon, the one-month deadline will be up.
The whole of Kaifeng suddenly became very tense.
Zhao Guangyi personally led the team, and all the troops were dispatched, going door to door in various shops, large and small. Anyone who dared to make money was immediately arrested. The first offender was criticized and educated, and the second offender was beaten severely. Those who refused to change after repeated admonitions were really thrown to the prison.
It’s a sin to recommend.
Suddenly, the city of Kaifeng was in turmoil, and many people were miserable.
The price of Nanqian has stayed in a range of around 1,800 yuan on the black market without moving.
However, very quickly, in just two or three days, Nanqian quickly rebounded and increased at the price of 1,800, and directly rushed to the position of 1,200.
Zhao Guangyi was stunned. He quickly sent someone to investigate the situation, and then his subordinates told him: No matter how you check, it is useless. Now Nanqian's large-scale transactions are not in Kaifeng, but in Zhengzhou and Xingren Mansion next door. The speed there is not as fast as before.
So fast, the common people still have a lot of money in their hands, but the merchants are still collecting it, but it has depreciated a little.
Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard this, and then he did not hesitate to lead a massive attack on Zhengzhou, personally destroying the Zhengzhou coin exchange market, and even arrested many people.
Then I happily returned to Kaifeng City, thinking to myself, this time, the third child must have lost money, right?
As a result, his subordinates told him: It has risen again, and it has risen back to one thousand penny to exchange for one tael of silver.
Zhao Guangmei has already closed down all the stalls of the He Controlling Army. She is really afraid that the Forbidden Army who lost money inexplicably will block him and beat him, so she has hid in the palace and dare not come out.
"Where... where is it being used and where is it being collected?"
"Except for Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and Xingsu, all other regions are using it, and there is no ban at all. And...the largest currency transactions now are all in Yangzhou."
When he heard that he was in Yangzhou, Zhao Guangyi was discouraged. Yangzhou was the territory of Li Chongjin in the past, the front line between the Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now that Li Chongjin has returned to the dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin has been replaced by his most trusted Han Lingkun, and the official position
He was not the Jiedushi envoy, but the Ma Bujun commander of the bodyguard who replaced Li Chongjin.
In other words, he is the number one soldier in the world just like Murong Yanzhao, who is always being inspected in front of the palace. Zhao Guangyi will definitely not dare to go to Yangzhou to show off his power even if his brain is kicked.
Ask again, not only Han Lingkun, Wang Yanchao, Wu Xingde, Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan, Yang Yanzhang, Li Jun, Wang Quanbin, Fu Yanqing, these border military envoys who hold real power in the local area are all acting against the will!<

This is simply not something that a mere Kaifeng governor can control!
