Gu Li then said: "The reunion chaos in the Song Dynasty is still in sight. Naturally, it is impossible for me to print money as soon as I want. The old money is recycled every ten years, and the old money and the new money are kept at a ratio of one to one as much as possible."

Fu Shaoge said: "Your Majesty, have you arranged who will issue banknotes?"

Gu Li said: "I think Fu Sicheng is good enough to take on the job."

Fu Shaoge said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If you want to let you be in charge of the issue of banknotes, please promise that you should not print banknotes at will. Your Majesty also knows that issuing too many banknotes will depreciate the wealth in the hands of the people." , it will bring great disaster.”

Gu Li said: "I, like you, don't want to destroy the private economy. Don't worry."

What Gu Li thinks is that after the three-year tax-free period has passed, even the poorest people, as long as they work hard, should have saved some surplus grain in their hands, which can be exchanged for money.Although after three years of inflation, paper currency has depreciated, but the actual value of food will not change, so these poor people will be slightly affected by inflation, handicraftsmen will be affected, but the impact is small, and the wealth he extracted , mostly from those at the top of the fortune.

In a feudal society, the means for these people to complete the primitive accumulation of wealth would not be too bright.Isn't it right for him to take some money from these people?Compared with the various disasters brought about by the Little Ice Age, the loss of wealth is nothing. He himself took out the money from his internal funds. What's wrong with these rich people giving some money?

And he won't take the money for himself, use the money to develop education, medical care, build water conservancy, control floods in the Yellow River, improve infrastructure, and serve the people at the bottom, wouldn't that be great? !

Gu Li continued: "The issue of banknotes will be presided over by Prime Minister Mu and Fu Sicheng. The denominations of banknotes to be issued and the exchange rate with silver are all discussed by you."

Fu Shaoge retreated first.Prime Minister Mu stayed.

Gu Li said to Prime Minister Mu: "The prime minister needs to pay more attention to Fu Shaoge."

Now he doesn't doubt Fu Shaoge's ability to handle affairs, what he doubts is Fu Shaoge's loyalty.

If the issue of banknotes is handed over to Fu Shaoge, he is equivalent to the governor of the central bank.This position is high and powerful. If supervision is not strengthened, it will be a small thing for Fu Shaoge to be corrupted by money, but it will be a big thing for him to raise a bunch of court moths.

Prime Minister Mu said: "The matter of printing and distributing banknotes cannot be monopolized by Fu Sicheng alone. He alone can't afford the burden and the pressure. The old minister plans to transfer Fu Sicheng to the household department. Since the [-]th The Department of Cleaning up Officials mobilized staff to set up the Department of Precious Banknotes to take charge of the issuance of treasured banknotes."

Gu Li nodded and said: "That's very good, Prime Minister Mu has bothered you a lot."

Prime Minister Mu was still worried, and said, "Your Majesty, will the common people really accept this banknote if it continues to be issued?"

Gu Li stood up and said seriously: "Reform means replacing old things with new things. As long as the direction is good and positive, I believe the common people will understand."

Prime Minister Mu also bid farewell and left.Gu Li proudly rolled around in the Nuan Pavilion, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Youzhen standing at the door, worriedly saying: "Father...what's wrong with Father..."

Gu Li hurriedly stood up and asked, "Zhen'er, aren't you playing with concubine mother? Why did you come here alone?"

He stepped forward, carried Gu Youzhen out of Dongnuan Pavilion, and saw Yu Guangle waiting outside.

It turned out that Yu Guangle brought him here. Gu Li let Yu Guangle in and asked him, "How are the preparations for the newspaper going?"

Yu Guangle came here precisely for this matter, and reported back: "Your Majesty, the villain has selected a place, hired people, arranged for the joint in the middle of the court, and prepared printing paper and movable type. This first issue of " Great Chu Morning News, I wonder what content His Majesty wants to publish?"

Gu Li was overjoyed, and found out the thesis essays he had written, and handed them to Yu Guangle: "Only these essays, you can choose to publish them!"

Yu Guangle opened an article and murmured, "On Ten Dangers of Party Struggle"?"

Gu Li thought for a while and said: "The author's signature should be written: Gu Yixing. In addition, since it is a morning newspaper, there must be a 'Daily Weather' column. You can write: tomorrow the weather will be fine, the wind force will be 4-5, There will be a small amount of precipitation in the evening, accompanied by thunder and lightning, please pay attention to prevent the adverse effects of thunderstorms."

Yu Guangle responded and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the price of this newspaper?"

"Let's decide on a treasure for the time being."

Yu Guangle led the order out of the palace.

Fu Shaoge was busy until late at night, and almost set the exchange rate and denomination of banknotes.Prime Minister Mu went to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Shijue, to discuss the matter of transferring Fu Shaoge to the household department and forming a team for him.

Fu Shaoge asked himself that he didn't have much dealings with Prime Minister Mu.Before Wang Zheng was in power, Prime Minister Mu was almost emptied, so Fu Shaoge naturally didn't have the time to please him.In the dungeon of Shuntian Mansion that day, Prime Minister Mu suddenly called out his surname and official position, which was surprising enough, but he never expected that Prime Minister Mu knew him very well, and even recommended him to the emperor.

Even though Fu Shaoge tried his best to suppress the excitement in his blood, he also understood that his day of prosperity is coming.

Fu Shaoge took a nap in the carriage and arrived at the mansion.His mansion is not as ostentatious as Nie Guangyu's five-entry mansion, but it is only a three-column residence, enough for him and his servants to live in.There are not many servants in the house, so there is an extra guest in the mansion recently, and it is still quite spacious.

Fang Congjian was released a few days ago, and his injuries had not healed. Fu Shaoge wanted to take him home, but Fang Congjian insisted on returning to his original residence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Congjian returned to the cat's ear alley in Xixinsi North Factory, he found that something was not right.

The door of the house was open. When I walked in, I saw that the bed had collapsed?

That's all, the house seems to have been burglarized, there is a pool of black marks on the ground, exuding the stench of blood, the clothes in the closet are missing, and even the salt in the kitchen is empty!

Looking at the messy home, Fang Congjian murmured in his native dialect: "What are you doing..."

Fu Shaoge, who followed all the way, was also puzzled, and persuaded him: "The house is like this, I'm afraid I can't live in it, so go to my place!"

Fang Congjian was a little hesitant, and was repeatedly invited by Fu Shaoge, so he had to leave with him, so he missed the beggar kitten who came back here every night to live.

Fang Congjian lived in Fu's house for a few days. His body was strong, and he was tortured to the brink of death in the dungeon. After only a few days of drinking medicine, his health has improved.Fu Shaoge didn't touch him, but occasionally, Fu Shaoge would look at him with a special look, as if studying stereotyped essays, trying to dismantle him from beginning to end.

Fu Shaoge also asked him: "How did you endure such torture in the prison? Why didn't you beg for mercy?"

Fang Congjian also didn't understand, isn't it an innate ability for a person like him to endure pain?

Fang Congjian couldn't answer, so Fu Shaoge stopped asking.Occasionally, when he had time, he would teach Fang Congjian to read and recognize characters. For Fu Shaoge, this was just a boring pastime, but Fang Congjian studied very seriously.

He is not very literate, and after he joined the rebel army, his superiors taught him more than 100 words in order to enable him to pass the interrogation smoothly.Fang Congjian cherishes the opportunity to learn.

Learning and literacy were all he had longed for.

Just like Fu Shaoge standing high above the clouds.

It's all he's been longing for.

Fu Shaoge returned home, said a few words to Fang Congjian, washed up hastily, and fell asleep.Early the next morning, while Fu Shaoge was eating breakfast, Fang Congjian had already returned from the outside—he was used to getting up early and going out for a walk, bringing back to Fu Shaoge the wind and sand in spring, the mud in rainy days, and the news of dawn in the capital.

He came back this morning with a copy of the newspaper.

This newspaper is about the same size as the residence newspaper, with four big characters "Da Chu Morning News" written on the right.Fu Shaoge glanced at it, and found that this was actually the first newspaper copy published today, and it was issued by a private newspaper. Fu Shaoge felt that the newspaper copy was of great significance, but when he looked down, he saw that the newspaper actually published a vernacular in a large amount of space. Article "On Ten Dangers of Party Struggle".

Paper is precious, so when writing, I try to use classical Chinese as much as possible. Classical Chinese has been in use for thousands of years. These scholars are not used to it for a while when they see the cumbersome vernacular.

"I thought it was written by the gang of Jiangnan Fushe, but now it looks like it doesn't look like it." Fu Shaoge put the newspaper aside and stopped paying attention.

Fang Congjian was very interested. He read the contents of the newspaper carefully and took note of the weather forecast.Fu Shaoge had already had breakfast and went out to the government office.

The carriage was halfway to the road, and there was some traffic jam again.Fu Shaoge was bored, he looked out, there were more than a dozen riders riding side by side on Xuanwumenli Street, most of the road was blocked.

Fu Shaoge recognized that the dozen or so knights sitting on tall horses were all acquaintances in the court.The first person is Jiao Liewei.In addition, there is a young prisoner in the palace, a doctor in the Ministry of War, and several guards in the capital.

Fu Shaoge murmured: "The superior wants to change this person to Liaodong?"

When I arrived at the official office, I heard that His Majesty appointed Jiao Liewei as the governor of Guan Jin, Dong Peng, the junior supervisor of the Rites, as the supervisor of the army, and Lang Zhongyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also praised the painting for the army.It is said that His Majesty also gave Jiao Liewei three tricks in his bag, but I don't know if they will come in handy.

Prime Minister Mu handled the affairs neatly enough, and Fu Shaoge's transfer order came in the afternoon.Fu Shaoge went to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities, and went in and out of the official offices in the imperial city. He finally completed the formalities, and he could go directly to the Ministry of Households to take office tomorrow.

Fu Shaoge returned to Taipu Temple to sort things out. Nie Guangyu came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Suizhou, I heard that you are going to be transferred to the household department? Wouldn't it be good to stay in our Taipu Temple?"

Fu Shaoge smiled and said: "Since you have entered the official career, it is common for you to be promoted or dismissed. Brother Nanpu, take care of yourself."

Reluctantly, Nie Guangyu sent him outside the Taipu Temple, only to hear a sound of spring thunder, and light rain began to fall.

Fu Shaoge looked up, and saw Fang Congjian walking out of the dense spring rain holding an umbrella.

Yu Guangle only printed thirty copies of the first issue of "Da Chu Morning News".At the end of the day, there were still [-] copies left, and Yu Guangle put them in the warehouse and kept them as souvenirs.

How did he know that the "Da Chu Morning News", which no one cares about now, will become a treasure that collectors of later generations will grab their heads for.

As the night darkened, the workers in the newspaper shop lit the lamps and printed tomorrow's "Da Chu Morning Post" ahead of schedule.The clerk asked Yu Guangle: "Boss, will tomorrow's newspaper be printed in thirty copies?"

Yu Guangle hummed.Although only one copy of Yitongbao is almost free, but he doesn't think anyone will buy this "Da Chu Morning News". His Majesty is probably bored and wants to print something for fun. When His Majesty's excitement passes, this newspaper will be copied. I won't do it any more.

The author has something to say: QAQ, I made a big mistake. The name Hou X is a name in historical research. A dynasty will not call the country name Hou Chu. It is usually called Chu or Da Chu. .I was misled by Hou Jin.I will pay attention to it later, but the previous ones cannot be changed for the time being.

In addition, I found that I had labeled all Dongnuan Pavilions as Dongnuan Pavilions earlier, and I didn’t notice it when I played too fast. Sorry, sorry.

These mistakes will be edited together after I finish the full text. Now the revision will give readers a bad impression. I am afraid that some readers will misunderstand that I have made fake changes or something.
