Great Song

From the mid-autumn festival to Chongyang, after soaking in the hot springs and lying at home for another day, Zhen Qiong returned to the Taoist temple.Seeing his appearance of rubbing his waist non-stop and his legs and feet being inconvenient, Mingyue asked rather worriedly: "Where is the injury, Master? Do you want to invite Master to come and have a look?"

Is this still for others to see?Zhen Qiong sighed sadly: "It's okay to be a teacher. Just soak in warm soup, not for too long, it is easy to hurt the body due to kidney deficiency."

Mingyue: "???"

Although she was a little ill because of being too tired, Zhen Qiong still remembered what she said before, and wrote a memorial when she came back, and handed it up.

Not long after, the emperor summoned.Zhen Qiong adjusted her clothes and went to the palace.

The sand table transported back from Qinzhou is now placed in the side hall of the Chui Gong Hall.Zhao Xu looked at the plate of vegetation, mountains and rivers, feeling indescribable.This is his country!Such a beautiful mountain and river, but the fertile land is barren and sparsely populated, how can he not make his heart ache?Hehuang must be recovered, and this Qinfeng Road must also be restored to the glory of the Han Dynasty!

Now the field mu has been measured, totaling [-] hectares.Take [-] hectares as the quality of the national bond issuance, and the remaining [-] hectares will be reclaimed by Wang Shao, and new farm tools must be used to increase the grain yield.Only in this way can this [-] mu of land be sold smoothly and become a good granary that can collect taxes and provide food and grass.

As for national debt, there are two types.One has no pledge, and the interest is 15%, a total of [-] guan, for a period of one year.At the end of the term, you can get back the principal and interest money with the coupons.And the other, with the land on Qinfeng Road as the pledge, issued a total of [-] Guan, with an interest of [-]% per year for a period of two years.Upon maturity, you can receive the acres indicated on the bond, or you can give up the acres to receive the principal and interest.

Such differentiation was specially arranged by Zhao Xu.I just want to see if anyone will buy this national debt without a pledge.Of course it is good to sell fields, but there may not be so many acres available for sale every time.If Hehuang is attacked in the future, it is impossible to predict in advance how many fields and pastures there will be.Only the national debt without pledge, the people also agree, this national debt can really solve the urgent need of the court.

It is precisely because of this that he is extremely concerned about the printing of national debt.Originally, everything was well prepared, and it was planned to let Jin Zouyuan print it, but Zhen Qiong's memorial book was handed in front of him.Zhao Xu didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately recruited people to come.

Seeing the neat Taoist robes and the pleasing path no matter how you look at it, Zhao Xu felt less anxious in his heart, and said, "Ling Xiaozi said that national debts should be used as anti-counterfeiting. In addition to copper engraving, there is also the method of overprinting. The three are delicate work, and I am afraid that the folks should not imitate them. Besides, those who forge bonds, such as forging gold and silver, are all hanged. Is this not enough?"

As for the six thousand coins of his own family, Zhen Qiong shook his head solemnly: "It's not enough. Although Chu paper has bright and dark stamps, this paper existed in the Tang Dynasty, and the officials who used this paper before were often rejected. Human imitation. The accuracy of engraving on copper plates can be reproduced with wooden plates, let alone the overprinting method. Only this is far from enough. It should be noted that bonds must be paid in cash. I don't know how much the officials will pay for imitation!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but look a little more solemn.The Guanjiaozi issued during the Renzong Dynasty was indeed only 20 years old, and fakes were everywhere.Guanjiaozi is just acting as a substitute for money, at most it will only depreciate.National debt is very different, but it requires money and land in real money.If someone imitates it, he will be out of luck!

"Is the anti-counterfeiting method mentioned by Ling Xiaozi really effective?" Zhao Xu couldn't help asking.

"It should be effective! Watermarks are similar to printing, and they are also made during papermaking. It's just that the specific method needs to be developed by craftsmen. The same is true for embossed printing plates. As for printing ink, when printing newspapers a while ago, I called out Several unique ink colors are unlikely to be easily learned by people. By the way, there are also patterns on the paintings. The school secretary Mi Fu has a charcoal drawing method. If you use this method to engrave blocks, it should not be easy to imitate." Zhen Qiong He was very thoughtful, and he thought about Mi Fu's new painting method.With so many guarantees, his money should be safe and sound, right?

It will take a lot of effort to make all of them, right?Zhao Xu inevitably hesitated.This is much more troublesome than the Indian official handover.However, in the past, Guanjiaozi repeatedly appeared in imitation versions, which caused chaos in the market, and even officials advised to abolish it.He still remembers this tragedy.Not to mention that the national debt is his biggest innovation since he took the throne, but it must not be ruined by others!

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Xu still nodded: "Ling Xiaozi's concerns are reasonable. You can cooperate with the supervision of the printing of national debt. Make sure it is difficult for people to steal it!"

Zhen Qiong immediately patted her chest: "Don't worry, officials, Xiaodao will definitely do his best to let the national debt be issued as soon as possible!"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling a little relieved.It just so happens that a new type of government-run newspaper is going to be prepared recently. If this newspaper is published first, it can also be published in central Beijing first to publicize the news that some national debts will be sold soon.How can such accessible means as tabloids allow the folks to focus on beauty?The imperial palace newspaper should also be adjusted slightly.

"Brother Zhen really misses my little brother!" Mi Fu was overjoyed when he heard that he could draw plates for the national debt, or use the new-style charcoal drawing method.I no longer dislike the question of whether to use his version of the typeface, so I came here to thank you excitedly.

Zhen Qiong waved her hand gracefully: "Yuanzhang, you're welcome. It's also because your painting method is novel. Ordinary people have never seen it before. How can you imitate it? Just paint, and you will definitely become famous this time!"

What is the name of the picture printed on the bond?However, Mi Fu didn't dislike the stink of copper at all, and nodded repeatedly: "This national debt will be issued to 20 guan, and my paintings will definitely be seen by tens of millions of people! In the future, charcoal pens should have some reputation!"

He has been holding back for too long. Although this charcoal drawing is similar to the real scene, there are always some jokes that are not meaningful enough, like a craftsman.The ridicule of his colleagues made Mi Fu very angry.No matter how the technique is, it is not all for the painting.Now I don't like his charcoal drawings, when he becomes famous, these people must be ashamed to death!

Moreover, what was drawn on the national debt this time was a topographic map modeled on a sand table.It is very different from the rough patterns of ordinary people and houses.Even he was amazed when he saw the sand table, the momentum of the drawing must be extraordinary.Why don't you let the world wonder?

After getting this errand, Mi Fu ran to draw pictures in high spirits.Zhen Qiong didn't delay, let the craftsman study the matter of watermarking, he is mainly responsible for mixing ink.Speaking of which, the printing press also helped a lot.With this thing fixed, color registration is much simpler, and it can produce more complex colors than usual.Based on Zhen Qiong's experience in her previous life, such paper certificates and coupons must at least have different characters, pictures, seals and even border colors.He tentatively decided on five types and began to develop them.

Research on national debt printing has been carried out in full swing.The new newspaper, which was changed from the mansion newspaper and approved by the emperor, was officially published under the auspices of Wang Anshi.

This newspaper is also published once every five days. After the end of the court meeting, the final edition will be published within two days.The content includes the political affairs of the imperial court, major promotions and transfers of officials, explanations of policies, and some commendable deeds of officials.Different from the tabloids on the market, this newspaper is thread-bound, more like a narrower and thinner booklet, and each issue has more than ten pages.As for naming, the Son of Heaven did not use those famous sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, but directly named it "Beijing News".

This "Beijing News" can be transmitted to all states and counties together with the Di Bao.But the biggest targets are the officials in the capital.Only one copy of the newspapers printed by the Jinzuo Academy is distributed to each yamen for the chief officer to read.As for other officials or ordinary people, if they want to see it, they have to pay for it.Thirty cents a piece, never two prices!

Even though it was so expensive, the "Beijing News" was sold out as soon as it came out.Just because the things contained in it are too important for officials and nobles.Among them, the current commentary at the beginning of the publication is even more critical.Not to mention external officials, even Beijing officials and court officials may not all know the emperor's mind.And this header, which has been reviewed by the emperor, is the best explanation.If it is used to implement the New Deal, it can also let the people know the intention of the court, so that they will not be deceived by the subordinate officials.

How could Wang Anshi not know the purpose of this newspaper?It is precisely because of this that the titles of the publications are all written by him.

As soon as the "Beijing News" came out, the entire scholarly community was in a state of shock.

Cheng Yi looked at the pitch-black ink characters, and his brows were almost wrinkled: "Isn't this a speech?"

Black and white, decided by the emperor, is the will of the court.However, in ordinary affairs, someone needs to be impeached and supervised.This "Beijing News" can bypass Taiwan's admonitions and become another mouthpiece!If it is used to promote the new law, wouldn't it be like a sharp weapon?

Cheng Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Wang Linchuan wants to make a decision, can we just ignore it?"

The headline was written by Wang Anshi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was his preference.After all, the name of this registration is "Beijing News", without the words "Song" and "Huang", and its meaning is self-evident.Now that Wang Anshi is about to jump out to reform, how can the "Beijing News" monopolize the direction of Shilin?

Cheng Yi understood as soon as he heard it: "Brother, you want to refute Wang Linchuan in our newspaper?"

The meaning of refuting the "Beijing News" is quite different from that of the "Ri Xin Bao" which does not respond to life and death.This is like putting a memorial to Taiwan's admonishment directly in the newspaper.If the writing is outstanding, not to mention people in the officialdom, I am afraid that even scholars will know about it. This is really famous all over the world.

But with such a flag raised, are you afraid that those who want to speak freely will not come to buy newspapers and submit articles? The reputation of "Mingde Daily" will surely grow day by day.And Wang Anshi is not the prime minister after all, a mere Hanlin scholar, who can not refute a few words? The "Beijing News" is a government-run newspaper. Does he, Wang Anshi, dare to publish personal remarks in the newspaper and refute all the attacks on him?

Such a big target, if you don't hit it, you will be ghosted.

So with the publication of the "Beijing News" and the vigorous refutation of the "Mingde Newspaper", the news of the imminent issuance of national debt also spread in the officialdom.Now that the momentum is unstoppable, it is necessary to reverse the reputation, which is also the consistent operation of court officials.It's not easy to make good things happen, but isn't it easy to make bad things happen?

It's just that these wind reviews have no effect on the common people.They don't read those two hard-to-understand newspapers, but what the "Ri Xin Bao" says is the most pleasant!
