[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

Xin Qiji turned around and saw an official sitting next to him looking at him sarcastically, even provocatively.

Although this patch can distinguish civil and military ranks, it is not as intuitive and clear as the identity card.

Xin Qiji glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Lu You sat in the distance, secretly worried.

When this pot of dirty water is poured down, no matter how much he justifies it, it will become darker and darker. The emperor was a little wary of him at first, but with these few words inserted horizontally, it will be even more difficult for You'an to leave in the future.

However, if he came forward to help, he would be giving evidence of the official's suspicion and suspicion. Not only would he not be able to keep him, but he would also be in more trouble!

As if he was encouraged, the man raised his voice and said, "I'm afraid I hit a hard spot, right?!"

"Did Jiang Yin's people give you benefits, or did they give you something to let you speak for them?!"

Zhao Gou squinted his eyes watching the farce, without any intention of stopping it.

"Someone has doubted your loyalty for a long time, and the emperor is still trying to influence you. Now that such a big disaster has happened, the first thing you say when you come up is to justify this Linguo, save yourself and stop pretending! Are you tired!"

Xin Qiji waited for him to finish speaking before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Such a disaster has happened, you don't care about the situation, and you just sow discord, expecting to throw me into the muddy water of disloyalty and filial piety?"

The civil official didn't expect him to say such a sentence, and blushed and said, "What else do you have to say? Don't let people tell you, there must be something wrong in your heart!"

The young man turned his head to look at the emperor, and saluted again: "When your Majesty summons his ministers, should we talk about loyalty first, or national disaster first?"

"If you want to talk about loyalty, I think you can have a long talk," You'an said with a twist in the end, "It's just that the common people don't have enough to eat, and some adults eat sixty plates of delicacies at home, so naturally they don't care. .”

Zhao Gou's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "If you don't talk about loyalty, how can you talk about state affairs?"

"Officials," Xin Qiji's posture was calm and there was no confusion: "I don't doubt the employing person, and don't use the suspicious person."

"If the imperial court has been wary of humble ministers, then there is no need to refer to the opinions of ministers on such an important issue."

"Nowadays prices are rising continuously, and the Ministry of Finance has nothing to do. No one in the court can give an effective solution. I have called the humble officials to come over, but I have repeatedly dragged them on the sidelines. I am afraid that they are overwhelmed with priorities."

The young man turned around, looked at the civil servant who was speaking harshly just now, raised his eyes and said: "Of course the officials are wise and decisive, and there will be no fault. It's just... some people are afraid of showing cowardice at this time, so they just come up." Telling the truth, I am afraid it is also planning for myself."

After Zhao Gou heard this, he realized that he was almost being used as a gun by some people, so he said coldly: "Release to the sixth rank Chao Fenglang, take him out."

The man's face turned ashen, and he knelt down staggeringly, wanting to justify something more.

But before he could speak again, the guard next to him quickly covered his mouth with sharp eyesight, and dragged him out together like a donkey.

This time, the eyes of everyone in the hall were much more restrained.

The atmosphere that was still turbulent just now finally subsided.

These were taught by Qian Fan.

"Some things can't be coaxed. If you coax once, those people will deal with you harder, and it will be very troublesome to fight back later."

When he took Qian Fan's ride to Lin'an that time, Qian Fan was mentioning various details along the way.

"What kind of insidious means did the other party use? You can directly show it when you are splashed with dirty water, but it also depends on the specific situation—" He paused, and while turning the steering wheel, he said with emphasis: " Gentle, courteous and frugal, that's normal, when you meet a villain, you don't care, it's okay, just treat it as being bitten by a dog, don't waste time with him."

"But after entering the officialdom, if you still have that pure heart, just wait to be eaten to the bone."

This Xin Chengxue usually kept quiet and looked like a persimmon that was easy to pinch, but now he suddenly knocked down an official with a few words, it seems that he still has something hidden.

"Okay, don't mention those nonsense anymore."

Zhao Gou knew in his heart that this Xin Chengxue was passing by his eyes with the hat of "employees are not suspicious". If he pursued it further, he would just put the hat on himself, and naturally he would not do such a stupid thing.

The most urgent thing is to figure out what is worthless.

Xin Qiji once again went through the various documents he had just read in his mind, and rationalized his thoughts: "The main reasons lie in two points."

"First, the issued currency is chaotic and the number is quite large."

"Second, it is the foreign trade deficit and capital outflow, which lead to currency depreciation."

This is basic economics knowledge, he just took the test last week.

"Eunuch Chen, please push over the blackboard used for meetings on weekdays. I need three pieces of chalk."

Jiangyin has not yet resumed the production of oil pens, and the blackboard given as a gift was once a rare thing.

Zhao Gou gave a wink, and soon the board was pushed over.

Xin Qiji wrote down the two concepts, feeling as if he was temporarily arrested to teach.

"Nowadays there are five or six kinds of currency in circulation, each with different values, and the issuance amount is chaotic. It's like a gangrene on the back that has pus in the flesh. If you don't try to get rid of the ills, it will make the problem worse. It's like pus is like bone marrow. There is no medicine. Curable."

The most common, of course, is round copper coins, which vary in quantity and are the most common transaction vouchers among the people.

Then, there are silver ingots and gold, both of which have no prescribed shape, and the circulation in the market is relatively chaotic.

Even for silver ingots, many of them are privately minted by the people, which is not considered formal.

And then there is Jiaozi.

Jiaozi was originally a businessman's idea.

Due to the prosperous trade in goods, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, some merchants opened "Jiaozi shop accounts" similar to early banks, and used this voucher to facilitate the transfer of huge sums of money.

With the increase in the number of rich merchants, the system of shop owners has become more and more clear, and more and more people have participated in the use of Jiaozi, a cash certificate.

But if you want to use Jiaozi to withdraw money, you need to charge a handling fee, which is about [-]%.

Since this is profitable, people from the government will naturally intervene.

In the first year of Tiansheng, Yizhou Jiaoziwu was established in Chengdu, and then issued by Guanjiaozi, and other private businessmen were strictly prohibited from imitating the vouchers.

But the problem is that by the time of Song Shenzong, that is, about 100 years ago, the amount of issuance became more and more chaotic.

The reason is that the military expenses cannot be paid.

Song, Jinxia and the Three Kingdoms are all kinds of pulls and guards. Frontier defense armaments are the masters of sitting on the ground and swallowing money. Once the war starts, all kinds of expenses are like a bottomless pit. Because of this, this handover was put into use and began to issue excessive and excessive .

The currency system that was finally formed naturally collapsed just like that.

Fifty years ago, due to the serious depreciation of this Jiaozi, its issuance was finally stopped.

However, merchants still have to do business, and it is still inconvenient to carry large denominations of money.

So the imperial court changed "Jiaozi" to "Qianyin". Except for Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Huguang, which continued to use "Jiaozi", other places changed their currency again, trying to reverse this situation.

Then on the market, there are a total of five things in circulation: copper coins, gold, silver, Jiaozi, and Qianyin, and Qianyin is still making things bigger because of its own design problems.

"Using money to quote silver ingots, what's the difference?!" The veteran next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and reprimanded him coldly: "I called you here today to ask you why money is worthless. Why are you mentioning these messy things? ? I went around in circles for a long time and didn't talk about the real point. If you don't understand, just quit, don't waste time!"

Xin Qiji recognized the second-grade tonic on his body, saluted very politely, and said politely: "Why don't you come over to guide one or two, and I will step down now?"

The man froze, and became even more angry.

If someone in the court really wanted to give a reasonable explanation, would it be his turn to bring out the hairless Xin Chengxue?

Zhao Gou glanced at the man, frowned and said, "You understand very well? Then you take a piece of chalk over there?"

"I... I dare not."

"Go or not? Are you wasting time?"

"Chen... I know I'm wrong..."
