…

Before contacting Tangyin County's county magistrate Xu Bingzhe, Cai still disliked this person very much.

There is no reason, just because the name "Xu Bingzhe" is really too smelly in history.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people surrounded Bianliang City, and then relied on Zhao Huan and his ministers to do stupid things to capture the outer city of Bianliang City, and then began to blackmail the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan, who had been scared by the Jin people, had no king's backbone. Faced with the sky-high blackmail from the Jin people, he accepted it all, and then desperately exploited the people in the city of Bianliang to satisfy the greed of the Jin people and hoped to survive.

And Xu Bingzhe, one of Zhao Huan's minions, was this.

Xu Bingzhe is actually a very capable and capable expert.

It can also be said that Xu Bingzhe was particularly quick to do things for Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan ordered Xu Bingzhe to plunder women for the Jin people.

Those women were afraid that they would be captured by Zhao Huan, Xu Bingzhe and others and were given to the golden man like a beast and were harmed by the golden man, so they all painted their faces ashes, and even made themselves unkempt, hoping to escape this disaster.

But Xu Bingzhe was very conscientious in doing things for Zhao Huan. After he brought people to find these women, he not only asked people to clean their faces and comb their hair, but also made each of them a beautiful new set of clothes to wear, and then sent them to the Jin people as a car.

Later, although Zhao Huan had shamelessly licked the Jin Man and satisfied all the unreasonable demands of the Jin Man, the Jin Man still decided to abolish the Zhao Man.

It was Xu Bingzhe who saw that the demise of the Zhao family had become an unchangeable trend, so he immediately took on the important task of being the new master (at that time, the Jin people were preparing to make Zhang Bangchang the emperor) against the Zhao family.

Xu Bingzhe was indeed a villain. When he dealt with the old Zhao family, he was really cruel, ruthless and scruple--in order to capture the Zhao family, Xu Bingzhe even created the so-called "Five Guarantee Law", namely "Lingfang Lane and the Five Families to Guarantee", and implemented a joint and several liability system. Who dared to hide the Zhao family in this situation? As a result, the Zhao family in the city had nowhere to hide, and all marriages related to the royal family were arrested by Xu Bingzhe and given to the Jin people.

Let’s put it this way, the Zhao family of Zhao Kuangyi and his team were destroyed by the Jin people, and Xu Bingzhe played a very critical role.

How could Cai still like such a villain?

But after contacting Xu Bingzhe, Cai still began to shake a little!

Xu Bingzhe is so powerful to handle the facts.

Under the leadership of Xu Bingzhe, the extremely attractive recruitment briefing of the Jinwu Army was delivered to almost every corner of Tangyin County.

This has led to the potential young people in Tangyin County calling for the army one after another.

During this process, Cai still realized it.

yes.

Xu Bingzhe is a villain, he has no integrity at all, even no bottom line, no down line.

But it was not Xu Bingzhe who really made Xu Bingzhe so crazy, but Zhao Huan, the supreme ruler of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.

It was Zhao Huanxian who ordered Xu Bingzhe to plunder the women of the Song Dynasty to offer them to the Jin people, hoping to buy his own safety. Xu Bingzhe was just ordered to act at that time. At that time, Xu Bingzhe received many rewards from Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan also praised Xu Bingzhe for his ability in doing things.

It was Zhao Huan who not only sold the Northern Song Dynasty, but also ruined the Zhao family. Xu Bingzhe did it just to save his life and put down the blame.

Therefore, Xu Bingzhe is an absolute villain, but he cannot deny Xu Bingzhe's ability, nor can he deny that Xu Bingzhe is also a talent.

But talents should be used.

To put it back, Cai was still preparing to rebel Zhao Song. If all the ministers of Zhao Song were loyal ministers like Fu Cha and Zong Ze, then Cai would still be rebellious. He would be a dog for Zhao and endure the timid and cowardly and incompetent emperors of Zhao's family.

Therefore, as the concept changed, Cai still no longer resisted dating Xu Bingzhe.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Bingzhe did not refuse to invite Cai Dan and Cai.

...

The best restaurant in Tangyin County - HSBC Building.

Xu Bingzhe was the banquet here Cai Jian and others - in addition to Cai Jian, there were also Yangwu County magistrate Jiang Xingzu and Hebei West Road Transport Judge Zhang Xu.

At this time, the march is far from comparable to that in later generations.

In later generations, a few planes and a bunch of trucks were easily transported to designated locations in a short time.

Nowadays, marching and fighting requires a large number of civilians to act together with the army - the army is responsible for fighting, while civilians help the army transport food, grass and supplies.

The civilians who escort food and supplies are usually provided by the prefectures and counties where the military is located.

The Jinwu Army's headquarters is in Yangwu County. Therefore, more than 1,000 civilians who helped the Jinwu Army transport food and grass supplies were provided by Yangwu County.

In order to facilitate management, the county magistrate Zhao Kai sent county magistrate Jiang Xingzu to manage more than a thousand civilians.

If the Jinwu Army did not expand its army during the war, then it should always be Jiang Xingzu and Cai Shen.

But the Jinwu Army expanded its army, and it expanded five times the amount (the extra five hundred were expanded by Cai Shen, not counted as the quota).

As a result, more than a thousand civilians in Yangwu County were obviously not enough to transport food, grass and supplies to two or three thousand Jinwu troops.

Later, the Hejian Prefect, who was the new commander-in-chief of the Roman army to encircle and suppress the Song Jiang, also served as the pacification envoy of Gaoyang Pass Road. After discussing with Zeng Xiaoyun and others, he sent Zhang Xu, the judge of the transfer of Hebei West Road, to ask Zhang Xu to raise civilians, food, and supplies for the Jinwu Army nearby.

Zhang Xu only arrived in Tangyin County today.

This banquet is also considered to be Zhang Xu's welcoming banquet.

From the perspective of grade, among the three Cai, Zhang Xu was the highest (the seventh rank), Cai was the second (the seventh rank), and Jiang Xingzu was the second (the eighth rank).

But although Zhang Xu is the highest-ranking, a civil servant, and is still the protagonist today, Xu Bingzhe frequently toasted Cai Jian and flattered Cai Jian, completely ignoring the intention of Zhang Xu and Jiang Xingzu.

Seeing this, Jiang Xingzu whispered to Zhang Xu: "This county magistrate Xu likes General Cai very much, and is afraid that if he has a daughter, he will recruit General Cai as his son-in-law."

Jiang Xingzu was a descendant of Jiang Cheng, a famous minister in the early Song Dynasty. He was the grandson of Jiang Zhiqi, the Duke of Wei. He was the second son of Jiang Ying, the governor of Xingren's residence of Huiyou Pavilion. Although his family background is not as good as Cai, he is also a child of a prominent family. Therefore, he looked down on Xu Bingzhe, who was from a poor family, especially the other party still had a naked face.

Zhang Xu was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuanyou. He had been in the officialdom for nearly twenty years before he reached the current seventh rank. His promotion speed had nothing to do with the word "fast".

After being in the officialdom for a long time, there have been many people like Xu Bingzhe, and Zhang Xu's mentality is not as bad as Jiang Xingzu. He smiled and said, "This county magistrate Xu is still very capable. I heard that his political achievements have been promoted long ago. He was only suffering from the lack of people above, so he has been the county magistrate in Tangyin, so his mood is understandable."

Zhang Xu was talking about Xu Bingzhe, but in fact he was talking about himself. Zhang Xu was very good at managing finances and was still aiming at the interests of money and grain. Unfortunately, Zhang Xu was never appreciated and had no chance of promotion. He ended up working as a judge for eight years as a position of transfer.

Jiang Xingzu didn't see Zhang Xu's resonance, so he didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Xu anymore.

At this time, Cai Shenzhe had a glass of wine with Xu Bingzhe and put down his glass.

Seeing that the atmosphere at Zhang Xu and Jiang Xingzu was a little awkward, Cai still poured himself a glass of wine, and then turned to toast Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu hurriedly got up and drank a drink with Cai Shen.

Putting down the wine glass, Cai still took the initiative to say, "I heard that Zhang Yunjue is good at managing finances. County Chief Jiang and I happened to have something to ask Zhang Yunjue for advice."

Zhang Xu asked: "Oh? What's the matter?"

When Jiang Xingzu heard the words, he immediately understood what Cai still meant. He took out a small stack of colorful paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xu, saying, "Please look at Zhang Yunpin."

Zhang Xu took these paper pieces of paper with a little puzzled understanding, and then looked carefully and asked, "What are these?"

Cai still replied: "This is the military ticket for our Jinwu Army."

When Zhang Xu heard the words, his expression moved slightly and said, "Military tickets? Money leads?"

Cai still said: "It's just that the money ray was issued by the imperial court, and the denomination is large (one piece, that is, one piece at a time). This military ticket was issued by me personally. The minimum denomination is one cent, which is about one cent, which is about one copper coin. There are nine types, two cents, five cents, one cents, one cents, one yuan, two cents, five yuan, and ten yuan, and nine types, a total of ten yuan, one yuan equals ten cents."

After pausing, Cai still explained in detail: "Not long ago, our Jinwu army won a battle, so the court rewarded a lot of money, silk, imperial wine, brocade clothes, jade belts, and those things piled together, like a hill, and they could not be carried at all, and I was afraid that the soldiers would be thinking about those things and were unintentional to fight. I wanted to exchange them with the court for Qianyan, but because the distance was too long and it was impossible to replace them, and the Qianyan was large, which was very inconvenient to use. So after discussing with the county magistrate Jiang, I printed military tickets instead of rewards and distributed them to the soldiers. At the same time, fifty Jinwu soldiers and two hundred civil servants sent all the rewards back to the rear for proper placement."

When Zhang Xu heard this, he thought to himself: "General Cai has such a high prestige in the Jinwu army. He actually said that he would replace the rewards with military tickets and exchange the rewards with military tickets. The soldiers did not even doubt that he would take those rewards for himself."

Cai still knew that Zhang Xu had misunderstood when he saw Zhang Xu. He said, "Although the soldiers were willing to believe me, I still used the 100,000 gold and silver I brought, and forcibly stipulated that one tael of gold equals ten taels of silver equals one hundred yuan military tickets."

Zhang Xu quickly grasped the point and asked: "Is military tickets equal to (copper/iron) money and money?"

Cai still answered with certainty: "It is only equal to gold and silver."

In fact, what Cai still wanted to implement was the gold standard, and the second choice was the silver standard.

But Cai's gold and silver were not enough.

In fact, let alone Cai and the Song Dynasty, including Liao, Jin, Xixia, there were not much gold and silver.

In this case, if the single gold standard or single silver standard is not available, it is difficult to promote on a large scale.

Therefore, Cai still can only choose a gold and silver standard system that is not very stable, and then gradually goes to the gold standard system or silver standard system according to the situation in the future.

But then again, even if the gold and silver replica system has relatively unstable and confusing problems, it also has advantages - because it is a replica, its source of monetary materials can be either silver or gold, with sufficient sources; and when large-scale transactions are required, gold can be used, and when small-scale transactions, silver can be used, which is flexible and convenient; the two currency materials can complement each other; it is more convenient to stabilize the exchange rate with other currencies, and can not only trade gold coins with areas with gold as the main currency, but also trade silver coins with areas with silver as the main currency.

After receiving Cai Jian's affirmative reply, Zhang Xu glanced at Cai Jian without a trace, and he thought to himself: "This General Cai is so ambitious! If he really wants to make things convenient, there is no need to use his gold and silver to issue his military tickets to take this risk. Moreover, he does not use unstable money and money to attract the standard, but goes through a lot of effort to collect the more stable gold and silver standard. Is he laying the foundation for vigorous issuance of military tickets in the future, or does he want to use military tickets to firmly grasp the Jinwu army?"
