I became the son of Renzong
Page 894
If you don't find out, let it go. Since the news has reached your ears, there is no reason to let it go.
As for what the courtiers think, what the fourth son thinks, and what the nobles in the northwest and southwest think, they are all incidental.
I don't know if it was intentional by the cabinet, the officials strictly forbade cooperation with Jurchen to attack the Northern Liao Dynasty, and would attack the Jurchen tribe. It spread in the court, and even in the market there were rumors about it.
"It is estimated that Beiliao heard that even if the emperor of Beiliao knew about Wu Zhizhong's trap, he would be satisfied with his previous decision."
"That's good. At least my guard against Guochao is somewhat relaxed."
"What will Yelu Yixin think?"
"For a rebellious minister, Guochao doesn't have to consider his feelings. But if it affects his rebellion, it would be a pity."
The court was discussing these things, and there were things to say, and things to say.
like...
"The fourth prince is now in power..."
"Five thousand mobs, nothing more than encountering some local chickens and dogs, fighting against pirates, it's not a big deal."
"The officials have something to say."
"It's not a big deal. Those nobles in the southwest and northwest are just doing business in the name of a lord."
"In terms of momentum, the second prince is in Annan, and I heard that he has stabilized. I heard that many civil servants and military generals in Dali originally had exit assistance."
"The old and young of the Duan family can't do much. As long as it doesn't affect the country's grain entry, the court won't care."
"I've heard that Annan feels that it's on the verge of breaking out, and there is a possibility of a big war all the time."
"Don't worry about food, the navy and the imperial court's grain transport ships have transported grain by sea ship more than once. Sea ship grain transport is only available to the imperial court, and the price of landed grain is the same as in Guangnan. Grain merchants have There are signs of gathering in Mingzhou and Quanzhou."
No matter what the discussion is about, there is indeed a sense of pride in Guochao now.The prosperity of the Song Dynasty does not need to care about any surrounding dynasties.
Today's discussions are more based on the realization that the chaos elsewhere and the tranquility here are good.Song Dynasty no longer has to worry about the northwest all the time, and Qinzhou is no longer a border.
Even in Hebei Road, it has been many years since there was any news of grass valley.Even the people of Hebei Road have reclaimed wasteland to the north of the border town.
Da Song should have no regrets at this time, except for Zhao Xi who is the king.
The fourth prince has collected unimaginable items, all of which are rare items. Unfortunately, Zhao Xi has gone through all of them in detail, but there is still nothing he expected.
The legend that Zhao Xi was expected to be swept by the turbulence in the sea to the American continent, and return after a narrow escape has never happened.
The entire East China Sea islands, including even the islands around Fusang and Koryo, have been cleaned up, and there is still no miracle.
It has become Zhao Xi's obsession. Even the silver production in Fusang and the information about the existence of gold mines in the coastal islands of Koryo have been ignored by Zhao Xi.
For this matter, the fourth prince has a special memorial.
Originally, the fourth prince did not do this, or even the expansion of the army was mentioned when he met his father.After he understood how the old man treated the Jurchen, he played it very formally.
He couldn't hide this matter. He knew that there were prospecting craftsmen in his team in Workshop City.
"What is your cabinet's opinion on this matter? Before recovering Yanyun, is there any need for further complications?"
Exchange the products of Guochao for the gold and silver of Fusang and Goryeo. In fact, private merchants have done this business.It's not that Zhao Xi doesn't have ambitions, it's that he feels that doing things needs to be done step by step, and it's not appropriate to aim too high.
"Officials, ministers, etc. have had discussions, and they all think that they can refer to the model of the Dongchuan Copper Mine in the early years, and win over some forces in Koryo and Fusang to mine gold and silver."
"Except for the Guo Dynasty, there is no other dynasty that can produce such exquisite gold and silver coins as the Song Dynasty, and the coins of the Guo Dynasty are in circulation in these dynasties. It is not impossible to do this."
Without mentioning this matter, Zhao Xi almost forgot that he let go of the country's currency outflow.
It's a pity that in this era, there is almost no financial industry, and the value of gold, silver and copper coins is not comparable to that of later paper money.Zhao Xi's role in letting go of the country's currency is only reflected in making the Song currency a common currency to a certain extent.
Or, there is also a certain role in that the currency of the country can be exchanged for the wealth of other dynasties that is higher than the value of the currency itself.
Thinking more deeply, Zhao Xi's half-knife economic level really can't think of other effects.
At this time, because of the mining of raw ore, the cabinet once again mentioned the casting and general function of currency...
Chapter 879 Plunder
Mining gold and silver raw ores from Fusang and Koryo, casting them in the country, and then importing gold and silver coins into Fusang and Koryo... such a business, the current cabinet can actually think of it.
Now that the smelting of the workshop city, Zhao Xi really doesn't know how far it has developed. The production of gold and silver coins... Alas, I have never used currency before, so I really don't know the specific situation.
"Zirong, what is the gold and silver content in the casting of gold and silver coins?"
Zhao Xi could still understand the truth at a glance.
"Back to the official house, up to [-]%, [-]% to [-]% of the gold and silver content, adding manganese, aluminum and other things can make the gold and silver coins more exquisite."
Mining of raw materials and processing of finished products must be profitable, and the core issue is the amount of profit.
Of course, there is another key point, which is the role of the country's currency in the trade of the entire world...
"Master, please tell me. I need to have a comprehensive understanding, starting with the currency of the country..."
Xue Xiang, in Zhao Xi's opinion, is the minister with the most economic talent in this era, or in other words, in the so-called trade, he is the minister who can best understand Zhao Xi's intentions.
Although it cannot be said that it is comparable to the business elites of later generations, in this era, it is absolutely eager.
When Zhao Xi asked this way, Xue Xiang could correctly understand what he wanted to know.
"Officials, starting with the earliest theory of the officialdom, the concept that currency is also a commodity, based on the sufficient supply of various raw materials for minting currency in the country, the workshop city, the Royal Bank, and even the Shiyi, Shibosi and other yamen Working together to really work on coins as commodities."
"Based on prudent considerations, when foreign countries trade currencies, they focus on the exchange of currency raw materials, gold, silver and copper. As of now, according to the statistics of Workshop City, the total amount of raw materials imported by the Kingdom can basically reach the total amount of currency exported by the Kingdom. More than half. And the actual profit even reaches the level of three to five times."
"Besides, it is precisely because of the currency export policy that I dare not speak of all the surviving dynasties, but all merchants who trade with the dynasties have all used the dynasties' currency."
"The big feedback from the land merchants is that not only Tubo and Uighurs, but even farther west, the Jinniu Dynasty, the Balo Dynasty, and the Tumaluo Dynasty, etc., all use the country's currency as the most, and even use it when trading. With the currency of the country, the price of goods can be reduced by [-]% of the transaction."
The dynasties mentioned by Xue Xiang are really unfamiliar to Zhao Xi, and they must be small countries.Zhao Xi didn't care about these faces, and even the so-called matter of all nations coming to court, Zhao Xi didn't care.
The world is so big, I can't occupy it, and I can't manage it, so I don't have that kind of leisure.
"Similarly, feedback from maritime merchants, whether it is Dai Viet, which is what the country used to call Annan, or the Champa, Bagan, Srivijaya, Boni, Khmer and other dynasties."
"That is to say, the current currency of the country has basically become the common currency that the officials once said."
Zhao Xi didn't even remember him talking about the universal currency.I think it was also what I said when I chatted with them back then. At that time, some theories of later generations were always burst out occasionally in fragments.
Xue Xiang is caring.
Zhao Xi is really listening. The general currency has been formed, but Zhao Xi also has a half-knowledge of the role of the general currency. He hopes that Xue Xiang can find out the extensive role of the general currency from specific examples.
