Chapter 753: Looking for Bones (Part 2)(1/2)
Fan Chunren also woke up.
Will it be a loss? Wang Ju has repeatedly evaluated it and will never lose money. Once executed, for all groups, ten cents of Jiaozi are probably the most used, and the denomination is very small, which means that the proportion of its issuance will be the highest among the five Jiaozis.
If the court loses, it will not be happy.
The actual loss is not the case, which is different silk materials and prices.
In Wang Ju's previous life, due to the invasion of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang popularized cotton in the north, and the mulberry silkworm industry had already moved to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there was no such thing as southern silk and northern silk. Even after the Celestial Empire, northern silk was not silk, but silk pressed.
In fact, the silk squeeze is not bad, but domestic people have decided that silk is silk, so the manufacturer had to do whatever it takes to use some chemical agent to remove the yellow color of the silk and pretend to be silk. This is an extra measure.
Therefore, the two are different in time and space.
In the current Song Dynasty, because the northern silkworms grew for a long time, relatively speaking, the raw silk material north of the Huai River was slightly better than the silk material south of the Huai River, and the silk material north of the Wuling River was better than the silk material south of the Wuling River.
But it does not mean that the income of mulberry silkworms in the south is low. The north often can only harvest two seasons a year. The Jianghuai can harvest three seasons, and the Lingnan can harvest five seasons!
It's time to go on the season.
It was July, and Lingnan was the season for harvesting silk. The remaining area had just entered the end. Many people had not sold or woven into cloth silk.
However, this season is very delicate.
If the court delays further, there will be no time for the silk material to purchase silk material. Without silk material, how can there be a briefing on silk material?
If it needs to be fast and control costs, then the court will inevitably forcibly allocate the statutory authority to various places.
Think about it, how many mulberry farmers will suffer if such a large amount of silk materials are distributed?
So this is looking for bones in eggs.
If the cost is compressed, it is easy to imitate, and the second is that these people will be impeached as the court in disguise to make money. The most serious thing is that after the cost is compressed, the people do not recognize it, so Wang Ju will wait for the misery at that time.
However, these people are not thinking about these three aspects now.
Fan Chunren hesitated and said, "Don't be so anxious."
"Yaofu, this son promised to stay in Zhongshu for only three years. Do you think he would be anxious?"
"I will write a letter to the official tomorrow."
Fan Chunren has entered the throne.
An Tao said again: "Father Yao, do you believe that this son can destroy Xixia within six years?"
"Maybe...can be." Fan Chunren answered hesitantly again.
Not to mention Wang Ju's outstanding military achievements before, just talking about the two new artillery cannons is also of great power.
"Fu Yao, if our dynasty attacks Xia again, will the Liao Kingdom intervene? What if it intervenes?"
The current emperor of the Liao Kingdom is half a foolish emperor.
Therefore, the Liao Kingdom was slow to respond the previous year. However, when he heard the news, he immediately sent an envoy to issue a letter to question the Song Dynasty.
In fact, this is similar to Wang Ju's previous life. The Liao Kingdom was the American Empire, the Song Dynasty was the Celestial Empire, and the Western Xia Kingdom was the Japanese Kingdom.
The Song Dynasty and Xixia were a small fight, and the Liao Kingdom was eager to fight, but if the Song Dynasty destroyed Xixia, what would the Liao Kingdom face?
Even if Yelu Hongji is a foolish monarch, he will understand this truth.
"Yaofu, the first time the Liao Kingdom is slow to react, but the second time they will still be slow to react?"
If the Liao Kingdom intervened, it would be terrible. Not only would it not be able to destroy the Western Xia, but on the contrary, the Song Dynasty was forced to go to war on both sides, and perhaps there would be danger of destroying the country.
But is this true?
However, in Fan Chunren's mind, that's it.
"When Emperor Taizong's second Northern Expedition, why didn't Cao Gong beg for the swearing, thinking that Youyun could be taken back in an instant. When our dynasty attacked Xia, why didn't Zong Yan believe in the swearing of Xia? It's just around the corner. But what's the result? Aren't Cao Gong and Zong Yan capable of fighting against people who are good at fighting?"
This is actually misinterpreted.
"Houqing, let me go back and think about it." Fan Chunren finally got up solemnly, then stood up to say goodbye.
…………
The next day, Wang Ju came to the Secretariat.
During this period, he will be very busy and must first be familiar with government affairs. Moreover, the reorganized Zhongshu is completely different from the original Zhongshu.
Then a series of workshops have to be arranged, which is actually a factory.
Although in Wang Ju's view, they are all clumsy machinery, in this era, they already belong to science fiction machinery.
It’s not something that can be produced immediately by bringing the craftsmanship.
This must be transformed, including the original iron smelting and steelmaking equipment that must be overturned and re-transformed.
Although he also brought some craftsmen over, he must preside over the leadership.
Only after successfully getting on the horse can he gradually get rid of himself.
But as soon as he arrived at the Secretariat, he was summoned to the inner palace by the eunuch.
"Wang Qing, look." Zhao Xu handed him the memorial written by Fan Chunren.
In short, influenced by An Tao, Fan Chunren's seemingly wronged truths also made Zhao Xu confused. However, An Tao may not have intentionally confused Fan Chunren. He was thinking about tragedy, and it was not strange that he had such an idea.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zihou also came to my house last night and said something confused." Wang Ju's tone was still very peaceful. In fact, Fan Chunren's memorial raised several concerns, but his tone was relatively calm, so there was no need to get into evil.
"I also talked about this issue with Zhang Zihou. Although six years later, the amount of gold and silver allocated from the other side and His Majesty this time from the treasury can reach more than 3.6 million taels of gold and more than 24 million taels of silver, maybe in the past six years, the country can still raise a small amount of gold and silver. However, I can't wait until six years later. It must be within three years..."
"Wang Qing, I haven't forced you to do it for six years."
Wang Ju sneered in his heart, if your body can be delayed until six years later, then I will be Amitabha.
But that can't be said.
"Your Majesty, one drum is done, two drums are exhausted, and three drums are declining. If Xixia cannot be destroyed within these six years, maybe you will have to rely on your descendants again. But what if the descendants have a bad life? What is actually left to future generations to solve? It is really a bad statement."
"Can you release more?"
"Your Majesty, its secret is that silk is paid at a high cost and strong technology, which is difficult to imitate. In addition, if gold and silver are used as principal, the amount of silk is paid can be paid by merchants at any time and at any time. Therefore, it will be recognized by the people. The recognition of merchants can gradually replace copper coins and become a new simple currency. Although these silk will not be cashed out by the people after they are issued, because it contains huge costs. But what if? Then the reputation of the banking company is immediately destroyed, and a large amount of silk issued by the large amount of silk is worthless. Therefore, the amount of silk must be controlled within five-quarters of the amount of gold and silver. Just like now, the court has more than two million taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver, which is equivalent to 34 million taels of silver and six hundred and eight billion cents of gold, then at most 85 billion cents of silk can be issued."
This number seems scary. It is folded into Guan, which is more than 100 million Guan, but this is the currency that leverages the entire Song Dynasty economy. More than 100 million Guan, but it is actually pitifully small.
"I'm afraid I'll be redeemable."
Repeated cashing is also what Fan Chunren is worried about after returning home.
That is, the court handed over the silk to distribute it by some means, and then quickly redeem it into gold and silver by the people. If the court handed over the silk from the bank department and redeem it again, it would require twice the gold and silver.
Then the big joke will come out.
Wang Ju replied: "This is a mature system, especially the country's credit and proportion control. As long as the system is perfect, the country's credit can keep up and the proportion is controlled well, the people will agree. Besides, it is not impossible to prevent it. For example, if you use silk to repay gold and silver, you can charge a certain amount of processing fees. Besides, in addition to gold and silver, our court has a large number of copper coins to call. Therefore, there will be some people who are not optimistic about silk to repay, but will not cause large-scale repeated cashing. Unless it is a little bit. Then there are some respectable people, such as Wen Gong, who ascended the high ground and asked all the people who used silk to repay to the bank office. That's it. It may not cause disaster. After all, this is issued to the whole country. And if this happens, will the court not deal with it?"
"The most important thing is the recognition of the people?"
"That's right, one day, there is enough gold and silver in the banking department, and maybe silk will completely replace copper coins. Just a small amount of copper coins are needed to make change. Even gold and silver are mostly used as real capital in the future and are rarely circulated in the banking department. Moreover, I discussed with Zhang Zihou for a long time yesterday, one is to quickly collect more gold and silver, and the other is to prevent it."
"Speak and listen."
"We haven't completely thought about it yet, and now we have only thought of three strategies. The first edict is to let the South clearly stipulate that one tael of silver is worth two thousand documents and one tael of gold is worth two thousand documents, and gold and silver are used to replace related taxes."
The main source of gold and silver in the Song Dynasty was in the south.
Although the Song Dynasty no longer imposed city tax on gold and silver due to Wang Ju's proposal, for various reasons, the price ratio of gold and silver was still lower than that of the north, and one tael of silver was only worth 1,500 and six hundred cents.
If this edict is passed on, many people will pay taxes with gold and silver.
After all, that would save a lot of money.
What the court paid was just some transportation costs. They were all precious metals. How much transportation costs could it incur?
"This is a good idea."
"The second strategy is to use the inner warehouse. The inner warehouse is responsible for incense. Most spices and jade mostly flow out of the inner warehouse. This allows people to give priority to gold and silver when buying some scarce commercial goods. But don't discount it, otherwise it will cause panic among the people."
"The internal warehouse has limited capabilities."
"That's right, and it cannot cause panic among the people, so it's even more limited. Therefore, there is a third article, allowing individuals to enter."
"Individual entry?"
"What the other side promised, plus what His Majesty has allocated, can still collect in the future, and finally get four million taels of gold. This is the limit, but the amount of silver may be more. After all, several silver mines in Japan are being mined quickly, and many craftsmen and Japanese powerful people are continuing to look for new silver mines. Therefore, in the future, it is no problem to increase the amount of silver to 30 to 40 million knots. With this data, it is 80% of the shares. The remaining one will be taken out by individuals for 2,000 taels of silver, or gold of the same value."
"this……"
"Compared, I told Zhang Zihou a lot last night, such as Qingmiao Law, Shiyi Law, and Jiefu Gong introduced these two new laws. Is it wrong in essence? But what is the result of the implementation? Why, because it is not an insider to implement it, for political achievements, or to enrich your private pockets, the two new laws have changed their taste when they are promoted. There will be several benefits when entering from private. One is that because entering privately, it means that there are more eyes to supervise it."
"I understand, it's like a court setting up a verbal minister."
"It's almost the same," Wang Ju smiled. It's very good. After many brainwashings, Zhao Xu finally understood something and said: "The second is that he can quickly collect a large amount of gold and silver from the people. The third is to relieve the pressure of mergers."
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, I have been unifying the world for more than 100 years. There are many poor people, but there are also many rich people. They have saved a lot of money in their hands, and they cannot invest in their homes, and they have to prevent stealing and theft, so they have to buy land or houses. This leads to serious mergers, and the price of houses and land prices rise together, and the more they rise, the more they merge. However, these two are related to people's livelihood. Although they can only get the direct income of the banking department, it is not bad. I estimate that as long as it can develop healthily, the annual income will be about 10 million to 150 million guan, and the income ratio will reach 5 to 7%. However, when deposited in the banking department, the interest will be only 3 cents. I believe that many people will be moved."
"If this is the case, perhaps it will reduce part of the merger."
"Your Majesty, but they are not the most important. They can put out a large amount of gold and silver into the banking department. These people are either rich or noble, but if so much gold and silver are placed in the banking department, they will hope that the Song Dynasty will be stable and prosperous, which is equivalent to invisibly binding them to the safety of the country."
"Huh."
To be continued...
