Chapter 39

【Although it was a little late, I was finally out. This is the third update.】

Lu Jiawen was indeed here.

Zhang Dun had expected that today, everyone in the court talked about Lu Jia's stay or not, and Wang Anshi kicked Han Gang back. If he didn't ask the benefactor to thank him tonight, when would he wait?

Before Lu Jiawen came in, Zhang Dun stood up and said goodbye. Although he was still intimate, he came to visit Wang Anshi for personnel arrangements between the two governments, and it was not something that Lu Jiawen could intervene. It is really not convenient to meet now.

"Zihou, you'd better keep it." Wang Anshi said with a word and said sincerely, "I hope there are a few things that require you to cooperate."

Zhang Dun smiled bitterly and had to sit down. Wang Anshi said to himself that Lu Jia was coming, and he wanted to drag himself in. Now he really couldn't get out.

Lu Jia asked about being introduced into the study by Wang Bang, but he was not surprised to see Zhang Dun. It was obviously Wang Bang who said it in advance.

After Lu Jia asked, he sat down and exchanged greetings for a few words, Zhang Dun asked, "I don't know what you plan to do if you reward the three armies?"

Zhang Dun was the Privy Councilor, and his most concerned thing was the reward of the three armies. The more generous the rewards, the more stable the officials and the three armies would be. Moreover, this matter should be as soon as possible, and it would be chaos if it was late. The officials were okay, but those red men didn't know what it meant to be forgiving each other and serve the country.

The Jingying has never been honest. Now that he has fought a war, he is even more arrogant and ten times more arrogant. Hangang may not be able to suppress them, let alone others. Just a month ago, there was a lot of trouble because of the rewards. After a while, even after a few commanders who caused trouble had already been suppressed, people could not suppress their hearts. If they were given a chance, they might be out of control.

Although he couldn't see it on the surface, Zhang Dun was really anxious and angry. Lu Jia asked that he could not give him a satisfactory reply, and he could turn his back on the spot.

"Open the inner treasury." The three envoys Lu Jiawen said with confidence, "If the emperor is in power, if he does not open the inner treasury, can he still open the national treasury?"

The emperor wants to buy all officials and three armies well, and of course he has to pay his own wallet. Lu Jia asked for money directly from the queen, but for only a few million yuan, the hidden treasury can definitely be supported by taking out the old treasures.

"Is this what I want to see you?" Zhang Dun asked lukewarmly.

"The Supreme Queen is very wise and as long as she clearly argues with the Supreme Queen, she will definitely not refuse."

"In order to recover Youyun, the Supreme Emperor has saved all the money he has worked hard to save."

‘The five seasons lost their pictures, and the kung qi was born. The art ancestors built a country and thought of punishing the migrants. So they set up an inner palace to recruit soldiers; the great-grandson protects them, and dares to forget their ambitions’. These 32 treasuries are about to start running mice.

"Gathering wealth from the world is for the purpose of the world. Can you reward all officials and three armies and congratulate the emperor? Isn't it used to the right path? How can you resist foreign aggression in the country? Zihou, I have always admired your decisiveness. At this moment, I am hesitant?"

Since the emperor has already taken over the throne, he has to give the rewards. There is no longer much time, so it is really impossible to delay. Just like the ministers attending the ceremonial ceremony, they can take back their meat when they turn back, and they don’t say they will have to wait a few days before they can deliver it. In that case, the three poor officials below will have to celebrate the New Year with little water. The priests of the two governments cannot stay out of this matter.

Lu Jiawen grasped this point and had no worries at all.

"Then I might as well ask Yu Kun what is the solution."

"There is no way. This is not a magic trick. The money and grain cannot be changed. When Han Yukun comes, he can only reach out to ask for money from the warehouse. If you want some shamelessness, you can just ask for it directly." Lu Jiawen smiled at Zhang Dun, and his smile was even a little cold, "I have already given up my face now."

Zhang Dun looked at Lu Jia deeply and sighed suddenly. The most precious thing about a person is this face. If Lu Jia asks shamelessly, then this matter can really be solved.

He shook his head, "Is this enough to do it? It's better to have five cents or iron coins."

Han Gang said it well in "Qianyuan" that the essence of money lies in the word "trust". With credit, paper... no, even empty words are money. What does it mean to make a promise of a thousand gold? It is about the word "trust".

As long as you grasp the key points, it is easy to maintain the credit of the court. But Lu Jia asked if he could grasp it? His credit is far inferior to Han Gang.

Hangang's article on the source of money made it possible to use five cents immediately as five cents, but when he was blocked from the court, the five cents fell back. The decline and rise proved Hangang's credit, among the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital, what level is it?

Lu Jia asked how to compare with him? It was far different. Even if the two officials combined together, they might not be able to compare him.

"After one by one, the rewards are solved, and it is not difficult to get copper and iron coins and 5 cents. This autumn tax, Shaanxi is charged half of copper and iron coins, and half of them are discounted five cents in Beijing. This matter requires the cooperation of the Zhengshitang."

"What should I do if I have fake money?"

"As long as the weight is not too different, you can take it all together. The loss will be accepted by the Sansi. At that time, you can get more money from minting and discounting five cents."

"You recognize the court." Zhang Dun sighed. But he couldn't deny that this was indeed a solution to the problem.

The method given by Lu Jiawen has been popular in the world, and it is Han Gang's opinion, but it was not strictly implemented before. In particular, there were always cunning people using counterfeit coins to pretend to be a discount of five cents, which made the tax collectors unwilling to charge them. After they paid the tax, they were found to have to pay for the counterfeit coins out of their own pockets. This would of course cause the credit depreciation of five cents until the people refused to use them.

The truth is actually known to everyone, and the key is execution. But as long as the court is willing to suffer this loss and recognize all the not-too-excessive folk fake money, it can still guarantee a discount of five cents. As for the part of the loss in the middle, after guaranteeing the credit, it can be compensated by additional issuance.

But the hardest thing at that time must be the Political Affairs Hall.

How to deal with the counterfeit coins collected is definitely a big problem.

It must not be used externally, otherwise what should the court do if the credit is credited? But if you have to pick it out, you don’t know how much labor will be consumed. Maybe you will have to turn it into copper water and mint new coins again. The fire consumption in it can consume all the money and interest in the coin.

The whole thing will never be as simple as Lu Jiawen said.

Lu Jiawen could see what Zhang Dun was thinking. After all, the problem was too big. As long as you are a discerning person, you would not be able to see it.

"Don't worry, Zihou has another way," Lu Jiawen said with a smile. "Although Jiawen is stupid, she is not so confused."

"What's the solution?"

"If you issue large coins, you will be minted in different colors. If you want to have two, five, ten, twenty, different currency values ​​and different textures. If you have different colors, you won't think of a place to live for a fake currency."

Zhang Dun's eyes glared, looked at Wang Anshi, then turned back to Lu Jia and asked, "Isn't this Han Yukun's proposal?!"

"That's right!" Lu Jia asked.

Compared to the two prefectures who have been working hard for the throne in the past few days, Lu Jiawen's thoughts were all on how to keep his position. Han Gang gave the Queen a lot of advice, and then he found a capable confidant in the Sansiya to make a plan to implement it.

Isn’t it just to use different materials to mint new coins? This is indeed a good idea. In this way, the old method of thieves to re-cast money will not work. A bronze penny is one color, and a brass ten cents are another color. Even if the copper content of ten cents is far less than ten times that of a penny, can the melted penny be recasted and turned into a ten cent of another color?

"Yu Kun's material is far higher than Jiawen. The theory of "Qianyuan" is extremely ancient. The distinction between righteousness and profit can be determined by this. Since Han Yukun has good ideas, Jiawen can't use it." Lu Jiawen smiled at Zhang Dun and said, "National affairs are the most important. Even if they are ridiculed by the world, Jiawen will accept it and enjoy it."

"National affairs are the most important, and temporary honor and disgrace are just idle things. It is really rare to be able to have this thought." Wang Anshi, who was silent all the time, defended Lu Jiawen, "Yukun thought that Wang Zhi was not competent for the three departments and one position. As long as Wang Zhi handled this matter well, wouldn't the doubts in the world disappear?"

Lu Jiawen nodded slightly and said, "We can't pay so much attention to doing things for the court. If Yukun is angry, Jiawen can come to the door to carry the thorns and apologize."

As long as you get things done, no matter who he is, will the face be effective if you have an official position?

Lu Jia asked why he was scolded by Lu Gongbi for being a thief?

It was not because he was in the Lu family, neither Lu Gongzhu nor Lu Gongbi's room, and he was always bullied by brothers of the same clan. So when Lu Gongbi was preparing to snipe Wang Anshi's reform, he stole Lu Gongbi's draft memorial to find Wang Anshi without hesitation. Taking Lu Gongbi's draft memorial, he knew what name Lu Gongbi was going to use to arrange the new method. In front of the imperial court, Wang Anshi beat Lu Gongbi and threw away his armor. Later, he learned that the culprit Lu Gongbi drove his nephew out of the house and called him a thief.

To this day, the old grudges are almost over. Now that Lu Gongbi is dead, Lu Gong is finished, as long as Lu Jia asks that he can step into the two mansions - even if he crawls in the clan, the wastes in the clan will come over and lick their feet. Without the protection of his ancestors, they are wastes!

Lu Jiawen had been waiting for this day for a long time. As long as there was another chance or two, he could ascend to the position of the two palaces, so that Lu Gongzhu could see his children and grandchildren coming to flatter him and hold his boots before his death.

Only then will the old grudges that have been accumulated in the heart for many years have an end.

Lu Jiawen looked at Zhang Dun without any wavering. He would never give up the position of the Sansi envoy!
Chapter completed!
