"Cloth ticket?"

"What is cloth ticket?"

"Official, which cloth are you talking about? Which ticket? How do you write it?"

A group of collecting ministers asked questions one after another, and no one knew what cloth tickets were?

Why don’t you even know about cloth tickets? I really don’t know about it! Zhao Kaixin said: I, born in the 2000s, have seen cloth tickets, food tickets, etc. from the inheritance of my grandparents. Why don’t you know about it? Oh, by the way, you were born too early! You didn’t catch up with that era, and you are all over the big bureaucratic landlord class. Even if you were born in the right era, you probably wouldn’t be able to see cloth tickets...

"Cloth tickets," Zhao Kai thought about it, "that is, the money you can exchange for silk in the future... Using the Shu brocade paid in Shu as a guarantee, you can print the year and month of cash on the cloth tickets. First issue 50 or 60 million pieces to offset the cost of land collection."

Is he publishing a ticket? He seems to want to find a guaranteed banknote!

"Official," Cai Mao, the right prime minister of the East Prefecture, suddenly lit up after hearing Zhao Kai's explanation, "The cloth ticket you mentioned is just like salt and tea tickets? They can also be used as money... But it seems like fifty or 60 million yuan at a time, and it may be too much, so it will drop the price! It's better to issue one by one, as it will be easier to maintain the market price and establish credit."

Yeah?

Can this cloth ticket be spent as money? Zhao Kai thought about it and this is the banknote, which is similar to that money, Jiaozi and other things!

Thinking of this, he asked again: "How should we issue each term?"

Cai Mao thought, "It is to issue this year's cloth tickets according to the number of Shu brocades you can receive next year... After receiving Shu brocades next year, it can be used to redeem them to the holders. At the same time, a new cloth ticket can be issued, and after receiving Shu brocades the year after the next year, the credibility of cloth tickets will increase.

This matter has to be done step by step, and you can't be too hasty, otherwise the people will not believe it, and our cloth tickets will be wasted paper when they are sent out."

Not to mention, Cai Mao still has a lot of experience in how to use paper money to cheat... The civil servants of the Song Dynasty had a lot of experience in playing this paper money.

"That term is a maximum of several million," Zhao Kai frowned, "It's not enough to redeem land!"

Cai Mao smiled and said, "Installations! Divide ten periods, one period a year, and it's enough to finish ten years. At worst, you can give some interest."

Yes, if you don’t finish it, you will installment. It turns out that Cai Mao will do this trick.

Zhao Kai thought about it and asked, "Is it too long for ten years?"

Cai Mao smiled and said, "If the official thinks that ten years are too long, it can be shortened for a few years... After the cloth tickets have gained credibility, we can issue two or three-year cloth tickets, and even more than they can be issued. We will pay back a little less in the first few years and a little more in the next few years. In this way, in five or six years, we will probably pay back the 60 million yuan in the purchase of land."

Yue Fei interrupted at this time and asked: "I have sent out the tickets, how can I exchange silk when I go? If there is no silk, will the credit of the court be ruined again?"

When Cai Mao heard Yue Fei's question, he sighed in his heart - Yue Fei, a martial artist, can not only participate in the court meeting openly, but also ask questions to his husband in court... If it were the original Song Dynasty, no charge of a domineering crime would be missing!

But now... they are the sworn brothers of the official family, and the official family is his sworn brothers!

Moreover, the Song Dynasty is now in the "Twelve Medal System" and has the greatest military achievements! Yue Fei has made great achievements and has now been promoted to Shangqing, and his merits are higher than those of Lu Yihao and Cai Mao's Zhongqing, even if he is a prime minister, he is qualified to be a minister.

In addition, Zhao Kai is also preparing to establish the fifth-class titles of Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male to grant meritorious officials who have been promoted to the Supreme Court. And the nine Supreme Courts, including Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke, He Guan, Wang Yuan, Li Xiaozhong, Qu Duan, and Li Yongqi, must be the first to be awarded titles!

By that time, Yue Fei was two levels older than Cai Mao!

Thinking of this, Cai Mao had to put away his contempt for the warriors and explained with a smile: "As long as cloth tickets are allowed to be used to offset the commercial tax, and cloth tickets are allowed to be exchanged for salt and tea, private businessmen will naturally collect cloth tickets, and it will be nothing more to issue them."

"Will the money be sent?" He Guan, a veteran who had just entered the court from Chang'an and was about to take office as Privy Councilor (Chen Ji will be released from Sichuan), also asked. Although he was a martial artist, he was old Bianliang, a martial artist, and was actually a scholar. He also served as the chief of local prefectures and counties, and was not an amateur in economy and people's livelihood.

"hair."

"Don't send it!"

He Guan’s question leads to two completely opposite answers.

It was Cai Mao who said "sent" to him.

The one who said "not sending out" was Zhao Kai, the official.

Cai Mao was immediately a little embarrassed. He was a financial expert in Zhao Kai's camp. He and Cai Jing were relatives and the backbone of Cai Jing's new policy team. Although Cai Jing ranked among the sixth thieves, his financial management skills were not weak, even surpassing Wang Anshi, the leader of the new policy at that time. Without much damage, he supported Zhao Ji's Fengheng Yuda. Cai Mao, who was able to become a backbone of Cai Jing's party and served as a major caa many times, thinks that his ability in financial management is not weak. In Zhao Kai's camp, which values ​​martial arts and rather than literary, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is financial management authority... But now the person who has the left-wing opinion with him is Zhao Kai!

Zhao Kai glanced at Cai Dawei and smiled and said, "Since you have to treat cloth tickets and money quotations as paper money, you don't have to coexist. Just send cloth tickets as soon as you use them. It's easy for the people to use them, so it's easy for us to manage them... Moreover, money quotations have no basis, cloth tickets have their own basis, and I think the people will still recognize cloth tickets instead of money quotations. So I think there is no need to send any money quotations in the future. It's enough for officials to have a cloth ticket."

He thought for a while and said, "But what yamen should there be issued this cloth ticket? Should we set up a yamen specializing in paper money, copper coins, iron coins, gold and silver?"

Cai Mao and Lu Yihao looked at each other and saw each other nodding slightly. This official is right! There must be a special yamen in charge of coins... and this yamen must be in control of the control!

"Official family," Lu Yihao replied, "I suggest that a money bill department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue can be specially managed by a minister."

Zhao Kaike has no idea of ​​establishing a central bank or building a financial system... Even if there is, he doesn't know where to start?

So he thought it was good after listening to Lu Yihao's advice, so he asked: "Who can be this minister?"

Lu Yihao immediately recommended a talent to Zhao Kai. "I recommended Zhao Kai, the judge of the Transportation of Chengdu Prefecture Road, to serve as the Minister of Qian Piao. This person is from Sichuan. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Yuanfu and is known for his good financial management. He was a great success in his tenure as the judge of the Transportation of Chengdu Prefecture Road, and this time, the King of Hanzhong entered Sichuan and received a lot of help. For this reason, the King of Hanzhong also submitted a special report to ask for his merits."

"Then where is this Zhao Kai now?" Zhao Kai asked.

"This person is in Luoyang." Chen Ji, who is about to take office in Sichuan, interrupted, "The King of Hanzhong ordered him to escort three million pieces of Shu brocade, one million kilograms of Shu iron, and five hundred thousand kilograms of Shu tea into the court. Ten days ago, he had arrived in Luoyang."

"Oh... I remembered it." Zhao Kai nodded, "I read a few days ago, which was a commentary that it was a problem of buying a horse with tea. It seemed that it was his."

"I have also read this memorial and have great insights in the five ways to buy horses with tea," Chen Ji took over the words, "So after I arrived in Sichuan, I prepared to stop the method of buying horses with tea, and switched to the Tokyo Tea Firm in the second year of Zhenghe to create a treaty for tea, so that tea merchants can trade with tea merchants."

"Yes," Zhao Kai smiled and remembered Chen, "I remember that it was my brother. Sichuan civil affairs all depend on the disposal. From next year, I only need to send 6 million Shu brocade, 1 million kilograms of Shu iron, 500,000 kilograms of Shu tea, and 2 million copper coins into the court. Then, I will transport 3 million stone of rice to Jiangling (these rice will be transported to Xiangyang by Jinghu Transportation Office)... As for Sichuan horses, it is useless and there is no need to buy them."

The Song Dynasty, which was reopened by Zhao Kai, focused its main energy on military affairs, and the local civil affairs and criminal prisons were not so detailed. Therefore, it was recommended to the Criminal Prison Office and the two yamen that were originally on the level of the Transportation Commission and the Transportation Commission were incorporated into the Transportation Commission or the Yingtian Commission, thus forming a situation where the Transportation Commission, the Land Commission and the People (the military households in the government) were managed, and the military was adjusted.

In addition, Zhao Kai also added the jurisdiction of the Transportation Envoy Road, and the Transportation Envoy Road (Yingtian Road) completely overlapped, and set up a pacifier and a Transportation Envoy (Yingtian Road) along the way, turning the road into a province-like existence.

And under the rule of the Luoyang imperial court, there were only six roads in Hebei, Hedong, Jinghu, and Sichuan.

Among them, Sichuan Road is the largest territory, the largest population and the most developed economy. It is far from Luoyang, which is a bit beyond reach. Therefore, it is necessary to use the monarch to control the army, and then use important officials to manage civil affairs.

While delegating power, the plundering of Sichuan cannot be released. Although Zhao Kai's court had six roads, four of them could not be charged much, and only Sichuan and Jinghu could be scrapped.

Jinghu Road only has four prefectures, two armies and one prefecture. Although it covers the richest Jianghan Plain in the north and south of Jinghu, the area is only a little bit, how much can it be scraped out? So Zhao Kai only set an indicator of three million stones of rice, one and a half million pieces of silk, two hundred thousand kilograms of tea, and eight hundred thousand jin of copper coins for Jinghu Road.

These two roads combined together will provide Zhao Kai's court with 6 million stones of rice every year (the maximum number of shipments to Luoyang is only 5 million stones), 7.5 million pieces of silk, 2.8 million stags of copper coins, 700,000 stags of tea, and 1 million stags of iron every year...equivalent to income of 15 million stags.

It seems to be quite a lot, but it is not enough to rely on these income to support 300,000 to 400,000 to fight against the army of the Jin Dynasty, the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, some of the millions of stones of rice must be used for military rations and disaster relief... Without the government system linked to the land, Zhao Kai's court could not maintain it at all.
