The sixth year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty was supposed to be a good year for peace and prosperity.

In the winter of the previous year, the Great Jin Kingdom, which had been smashing and looting on the border of Shuofang, was finally influenced by the literary virtue of the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the surrender - as for how much the imperial court spent to subdue these Jurchen barbarians, no one cared about it. Even if it was given a million yuan a year, no one would talk.

The difference between the word "Yuan Gift" and "Yuan Gift" is completely different.

The annual monies are lost in shame and innocence. What is the principle of giving tribute to the barbarians in a dignified country?

The annual gift is a reward from the Song Dynasty court to the barbarians, and the benefits given to the superiors are called rewards.

The Great Jin Kingdom is now called a minister, so it is natural to get a little reward...

As for the actual benefits, of course there are also some. First, the border between Hedong and Shuofang was finally peaceful... Maybe there will be some robbers who will come to smash and loot, but the nature is completely different.

Before, Song and Jin were two equal countries, and stopping the people from robbing them would be invading!

Now Song and Jin are the sect leader and subordinates, and the slaughter of the sects are the people of the Song Dynasty's officials. They stole the Han people's things and killed a little Han people, but it was just a small friction in the process of ethnic integration... In fact, the Han people in the current countries have done a lot of the same things. Well, the Han people in the Liang and Zhou countries often do ethnic integration!

In addition to the stability of the northwest border, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Zhou State has also improved. The Zhou State seemed to have fallen into a "quagmire of war" in Goryeo. Anyway, from last autumn to this summer, there was no intention of winning the battle.

Although the territory in the western part of the Goryeo Peninsula was occupied by the Zhou Kingdom, the eastern part of the mountainous Goryeo Peninsula was obviously difficult to deal with. It seemed that the terrifying Zhou army could not be freed to deal with the Song Dynasty for the time being.

Therefore, the head of Zhou State Wu Haogu and the official Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty could mostly turn enemies into friends, and it is said that they would become children and in-laws.

Even if it is just temporary peace, it is enough to allow the people of the Song Dynasty to live a peaceful and peaceful life for a few years.

However, when the summer of the sixth year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty came, Wu Haowen, who was still in Zhengzhou, suddenly realized that he was in a Great Depression that he had never encountered in his life and could not understand.

"That's the point?"

Looking at the account book reported by the officials below, Wu Haowen, who was preparing to come to Beijing to meet the saint (he came to Beijing to act as a matchmaker for Zhao Kai) suddenly became angry.

Although he, a tax supervisor, is different from an ordinary supervisor, does not care about his performance at all, and does not even go to work. However, the people below cannot deceive and cheat like this!

Now is the time to collect summer money, and it is also the time when farmers sell products in exchange for money and pay rent. How can the market not prosper? How can they just have a little tax?

Wu Haowen looked at an honest old official in front of him with a look of ugly expression and asked, "Although I don't care about it, you can't deceive me like this! What place in Zhengzhou is, how could it be so depressed?"

The old official just sighed and said bitterly: "Xiao Di really didn't deceive the bachelor's degree, but the world is really depressed now... The monthly tax payment is 30% lower than before the New Year, and the housing tax is 20% lower. Xiao Di Di also thought it would be better this month, but who knows it is still the case.

If the bachelor doesn’t believe it, he can go to the courthouses inside and outside the city to see it."

Wu Haowen is really a surveillance tax. Since taking office, he hasn't even gone to the market. He just squinted in a villa belonging to Pan Xiao'an outside Zhengzhou City. He had to get some time to communicate with the celebrities in Zhengzhou.

I just read the account book once a month, and the meaning is considered to be "inspection".

"Okay!" Wu Haowen slapped the table and stood up, "I am about to go to the court to have a look."

The old official was just about to let this master with great hands and eyes go down and take a look. The current situation really made him, who had been officials from generation to generation, unable to understand it.

The situation was pretty good before the New Year, but who knew that a money-induced storm would lead to a depression. Within a month, more than half of the quality warehouses in Zhengzhou City and the QR code were broken, and gold, silver, silk and silk were mixed.

Many big businesses followed suit and closed them! Then many small businesses could not maintain them, and the businesses that were barely maintained were half-dead.

The goods transported from Kaifeng Prefecture are 50% less than in previous years...

Walking on the streets of Zhengzhou, Wu Haowen was also taking a cold air with door panels everywhere and hanging signs of "trading out" or "renting" hangings.

"What's wrong? Could it be that it's called Tianjin Bu and Jiangnan Si made a fuss?"

The old official sighed: "The reason for Tianjin cloth and Jiangnan silk is mainly due to the money."

"Qian Yin?" Wu Haowen was stunned, "Didn't the court buy it back with 400 people?"

The old official was amused: This big brother is a saint in the business world, why did he know nothing about it?

"Bachelor, the money has now increased to 480 cents."

"What else is there?" Wu Haowen asked.

"But the quality warehouse that was destroyed, the gold, silver and silk were transferred to the store, but the old official said, "At least half of the stores and debts in Zhengzhou have been trapped by money! The capital was reduced by 70% and 80% of the debts released, and the debts released cannot be collected for a while..."

Quality warehouses, decentralization warehouses, and gold, silver and silk transfer shops have some leverage, which means that funds are amplified by absorbing storage, and money can be used like copper coins for a period of time, and the interest rate is high, so it has become the favorite of these financial institutions.

As the money storm fell from 770 to 400, even giants like JD.com suffered a round of bank runs, not to mention ordinary quality warehouses, warehouses and gold, silver and silk exchange shops.

Bank runs are the things that financial institutions fear the most. There is no surprise that several large banks that have sufficient funds and can get the support of the Song Dynasty court. It is not surprising that these small banks are one by one and one by one.

Small banks often support the finance of rural and small and medium-sized cities. Once they collapse, rural and small and medium-sized cities will immediately fall into a shortage of money.

In addition, money induced by itself is also currency. More than 10 million yuan of money induced by now has shrunk to more than 60 million yuan, which will cause serious deflation. Moreover, small and medium-sized financial institutions that have suffered losses are no longer afraid to accept money induced by now, which further aggravates the deflation phenomenon.

Therefore, now there are serious deflation in the territory of the Song Dynasty, especially in the Central Plains, and in the prefectures and counties, which is a shortage of money!

The money is short, how can the market not be short?

The money is short, will the Song Dynasty be short too?

...

"There is really much deserted on the Border River!"

"Yes, Head of State, since the money caused a storm at the beginning of the year, the market in Tianjin has been depressed a lot. There are also fewer merchant ships traveling over the Border River..."

Wu Haogu, who had been in Goryeo for more than half a year, finally returned to Tianjin on a "Truth"-class battleship.

The money crisis that occurred in the Song Dynasty has spread to Tianjin.

After all, the main market created by Tianjin is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty fell into a recession, and life in Tianjin will not be easy.

"Qian Yin..." Wu Haogu asked Tianjin Governor Su Dalang and Pan Xingye around him, "How is it now?"

He has not cared much about the crisis caused by money in the past few months. He has been dealing with military affairs and government affairs in Goryeo - all very trivial matters.

Conquering a feudal country with many powerful people requires patience. This feudalized country will not concentrate its strength in the central government, so even if it defeats Wang Ya and Yin Yanchun in Zhongzhou and captures them, it does not mean that the achievement is complete. It still requires a lot of energy to appease and suppress, especially pushing the fortress of feudalism of the Great Zhou step by step, and eventually replacing the wall of the Goryeo nobles.

In this process, sometimes it is necessary to win over the nobles of the Goryeo.

For example, Wang Ya and Yin Yanchun, Taku Junjing, who had been puppets for a while, and Jin Fushi, who was sent by Wang Ya, not only did not lose his head, but also arrived in Tianjin at the same time as Wu Haogu.

They will become "noble citizens" of the Great Zhou Republic, and receive a piece of private land given by Wu Haogu, and also get a house in Taipei City, Tianjin.

The escort government of the Great Zhou Republic will also give them a free time so that they can live a stable life...

Pan Xingye, head of the bank in Dazhou, said: "It has risen back to 480 yuan, but my vitality is severely damaged and not many people believe it."

"Where are our silver coins and bank coupons?" Wu Haogu asked again, "Can we replace the money?"

Pan Xingye said: "There is no problem with silver coins, but bank coupons are not easy to deal with."

"What's wrong?" Wu Haogu asked.

"The Song Dynasty court ordered a ban on bank not circulation in its territory."

Wu Haogu nodded and smiled, "It must be JD Bank that is making trouble."

"JD.com is the most hateful," Pan Xingye gritted his teeth, "they also issued Jianqian Jiaozi in the southeast region... similar to our bank coupons, but they are linked to copper coins."

"It's a competition!" Wu Haogu smiled indifferently, "Is it still afraid of this when doing business?"

Pan Xingye snorted: "But Ji Kui from JD.com is a big profiteer. He has made a lot of money in this round of money change... He has tens of millions of taels!"

"Ten millions? That's so much?" Wu Haogu was stunned, "How did he make it?"

"Isn't it just a pity for the State of Song!" Pan Xingye said, "First, he used the high interest rate from money to attract to deceive merchants for money, and then deliberately created a plunge in money, which buried countless large and small businesses, and even blamed us for the crime."

Wow, there are all financial tycoons!

Wu Haogu smiled: "Does Cai Jing and the Song Dynasty officials know about this?"

"Of course I don't know," said Pan Xingye, "I'm kept in the dark and I think Ji Kui is a good person!"

"Where is Ji Yizhi?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"This is not clear..." Pan Xingye said.

Su Dalang said: "Head of the People's Republic of China, there have been rumors recently that Ji Yizhi may be going to Xuanma! I think he is probably the one who has this matter."
