Chapter 384: The Wild Goose Returns
"Prince, I want to take a look at the accounts of these coins."
"Wait," Wang Ming said. He immediately ordered the minor officials to take over all the accounts of coins minted over the years.
Song Jiu looked around.
"Mr. Song, it's a blessing for you."
"Prince, you must not be in the court. Don't call me Song Gong, or call me Xiaojiu." He attaches great importance to this Wang Ming and Song Jiu. He is good at literature and martial arts, and has a very good economic mind. Maybe because his luck is not very good, otherwise this person's ability can span the east, west and west governments and three departments, and all three important departments can be held.
Wang Ming smiled bitterly.
In the past, I was called Xiaojiu, but is there anyone calling Xiaojiu today? Maybe only Song Jiu's tough sister dares to call her.
"Or, call Yi'an."
In short, Wang Ming was an elder in Song Jiu's heart, and Song Gong's name made him feel very uncomfortable.
Wang Ming understood his heart and felt a little warm, but he didn't entangle it on it and said, "If this continues, it will take less than ten years. The country will probably not be short of money."
"Your Majesty, it's wrong. Do you know how many coins I have hidden in my house alone? If most of the yamen are the same as me, what will happen?"
The Song Dynasty was initiated by Song Jiu, but without Song Jiu, after the Song Dynasty obtained the copper pits in Jiangnan, it would also mint coins in large quantities, and even minted more than five million coins a year at most.
Song Jiu was not able to increase the amount of coins to 10 million. There were too many factors that were constrained. Many copper pits had not been found and the population was not large. Even if he improved his technology, it could not be called mature. Therefore, he only minted three million coins in the first year. However, it cannot be denied that Song Jiu's contribution was improved. The copper smelting technology and coin minting technology and process were also improved more advanced, so it increased rapidly. Last year, it reached more than 5.7 million coins. This is quite considerable compared with history. The Zhao Kuangyi Dynasty minted only 800,000 coins in one year in history. In other words, the emergence of Song Jiu increased the output of the Song Dynasty by nearly seven times.
Wang Ming did not know the amount of coins minted by the Song Dynasty in another time and space, but he could feel the changes brought by Song Jiu, and there was another horizontal comparison, that is, the amount of coins minted by the Tang Dynasty.
This amount is still increasing one after another, so in the next ten years, the total amount of coins can reach more than 60 million. If the original amount of coins is added and the previous copper coins, the number of copper coins can exceed 100 million.
It may meet the needs of currency circulation.
However, what Song Jiu said was another result.
In the past, Song Jiuqian came in front and spent it later.
Later, the Hezhou Contract was handed over to the court, and no longer supported the court in disguise.
The reason is the same as Midechao slandered Cao Bin.
Ximen Qing can do good deeds, and the court will even reward you, but Song Jiu and Cao Bin need to pay attention to doing good deeds. You are the prime ministers of the dynasty, so why do you buy the hearts of the people?
I spent some money, nothing more than spending some money on those islands and building more ships, but the funds were recovered very quickly. Therefore, the Song family's wealth was accumulating more and more, of course it was not entirely copper coins, gold and silver, jewelry, coral, and spices.
It is not a big problem for Song Jiu's family to save coins, but if it was the Hezhou development initiated by Song Jiu, the participating yamen and merchants have invested in this money one after another and made a lot of money. Some of these people continue to invest. Overseas, in Lingnan, or in other places, some people are generous and spend their extravagant life, and spend their overall impact. But if they learn from Song Jiu and spend some of them and save most of them, there may be big problems.
Even the currency circulating in the entire market is not as rich as these people. They put all the coins at home and then result in a result. There is no copper coins circulating in the entire country. Unless Song Jiu has amazing skills, the amount of coins minted by the Song Dynasty reached 20 million a year.
In the future, the number of coins will be increased, but the population is increasing and wealth is increasing. The number of coins is far from enough.
Of course it is just an assumption. How many people have reached the level of wealth in Song Jiu, and how many people have so much cash in their families? Besides, even if there is not enough currency in circulation, the sun will still rise as usual.
But that's true...
Song Jiu continued to look at the account books.
After a while, Song Jiu put down the account books and ordered the minor official to brew a cup of tea to rest. Wang Ming came over and said, "Yi'an, I'll give you something."
Song Jiu took it and glanced quickly, and said happily: "Thank you, Prince."
...
"Why?" Pan Lian'er said.
Song Jiu wanted to find a way to make money that was not harsh on the people, but to everyone's surprise, he was not going to the academy to do research and development, but he stayed in the Sansi all day long.
However, at this time, Shi Xizai was getting older and was in poor health. He took sick leave. There were two prime ministers in the Western Palace. Wang Xian was not bad, but his talent was too bad. Chai Yuxi and Song Jiu had no conflicts, but his talent was poor and his character was not good.
This made Song Jiu feel sad, so he made the deposit late every day.
"Liang'er, it's only these two days."
"I'm afraid Zhao Pu has an idea."
There are three officials in charge of the three departments. Wang Mingming was not helping each other, but he secretly gave Song Jiu that good thing, which was also a statement.
Zhao Pu is old after all...
Moreover, he is different from Cao Bin. Cao Bin should most likely thank Zhao Pu for his success. Without Zhao Pu's support, there would be no Cao Bin today. Zhao Pu also recommended Pan Mei, but Pan Mei has today, which was established by a lot of military achievements.
Wang Ming was different. He had achieved political achievements since the Later Zhou Dynasty, and made great achievements in the Pingling South and the Pingjiang South. With his qualifications and political achievements, the Three Departments of Power were enough.
But he has a low-key personality and will not sing to help Song Jiu. Giving that thing to Song Jiu is an exception.
Not to mention the second minister, Chen Congxin, had offended Zhao Pu before, and took it down when Zhao Pu attacked Zhao Tingmei. Now he has been used again, but in fact he hates Zhao Pu even more than Hou Zhi.
The third official, Hao Zheng, is not very noticeable. His movements can be seen when dealing with Zhang Wangbei's case.
What is right or wrong? When Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Lingchi, the people in the capital fought for his meat. No matter whether Yuan Chonghuan was right or wrong, it would not make the people hate him to this extent.
From the perspective of the ruler, Wang Anshi is definitely right. From the perspective of the civilians, it is easy to say that Wang Anshi is right or wrong. From the perspective of the wealthy landlords, Wang Anshi is definitely wrong. If you look at it from the perspective of the court, Zhang Wangbei is right or wrong.
If you look at those dozens of miserables, Zhang Wangbei would have executed him and would not understand their hatred. But in the eyes of other people in Yu County, Zhang Wangbei did a good job.
But in the end, Hao Zheng reported from the perspective of other people in Yu County.
It seems that he just reflects Zhang Wangbei's actions, but the fact is that he is optimistic about Song Jiu's "future".
Zhao Pu is finally old.
Song Jiu was Zhao Kuangyi's old man, with achievements, ability, and in his thirties, he had an unlimited future.
But in Zhao Pu's eyes, Sansi was his cheese.
Therefore, Zhao Pu was very unhappy and wrote a letter to Li Jiqian to recruit him and promised to observe the position of any of the four prefectures of Huayaofang. It was not a false position, but a real official.
As long as you are willing to surrender, you can choose one of these four states and establish an observation envoy.
But there is a prerequisite: you must first go to Beijing to apologize and you must not contact the tribes again.
Some generals disdained it. Is it reasonable to rebel? Is it true that the Song Dynasty was so incompetent that it was a time for those who steal the country?
But a group of literati like it.
The nation of the Song Dynasty generally regarded harmony as the most important thing, and was quiet and peaceful, just like something that happened last year. Tuoba Yu complained about the taxes and labor abuse in the state. At that time, under the insistence of Song Jiu, the miscellaneous taxes and two taxes in the four states gradually reduced the amount of taxes and taxes in the four states. However, the autumn tax was still paid that year, and the construction of roads and villages did use a lot of labor for local people. Although the court issued subsidies, these subsidies did not reach the hands of the people. Although Tuoba Yu's surname was Tuoba, it was not a close relative of the Tuoba Li family, so he was entrusted a lot.
In addition, it was excluded by some other large tribes, so I begged to move to the mainland. Can we move to the mainland with our tribe members?
Zhao Kuangyi was worried that all ethnic groups in the northwest would have misunderstandings, so he ordered all ethnic groups to keep their responsibilities.
I am the management of four states, not to weaken the various departments of your Party and the Company.
Zhao Pu's decision was in line with the ethnic policy of the Song Dynasty.
It is also very tempting. The starting price is one state observation unit. Moreover, although these states are not northwest borders, they are all in Shaanxi and not very far from Xiazhou. Even Li Jipang did not enjoy this kind of treatment.
However, if Li Jiqian agreed, he would not take the lead in causing trouble in the northwest without him. In addition, various policies will make the four states settled soon, and the price would be worth it.
At that time, Song Jiu was silent.
If it were Li Jiqian in history, it would be more important to say that he would not agree. However, Li Jiqian is not easy to say now. The cost of the Song Dynasty was high enough. After his own chain defense, it became more difficult for him to do a big career. He might not agree, and he might agree.
If Li Jiqian really surrendered, Song Jiu would not reject it. He became a Buddha with one thought and a demon with one thought. Could it be that Li Jiqian was really a natural rebellious person? If he used it well, this person's talent was better than Yang Ye.
And why bother waiting for the northwest to make trouble? I turned the tide to prove that it was undoubtedly playing with fire. If something happened and Li Jiqian succeeded, the Song Dynasty would no longer be able to gain the upper hand when competing with the Liao Kingdom, and Yuping might never come back.
But if Zhao Pu succeeds, what will his Northwest moves become? It will be a huge joke.
Zhao Pu just gave a slight push, which made Song Jiu fall into a dilemma.
"When will he go down?"
"I believe it's not far..." Song Jiu said, but his tone was a little unconfident. Zhao Kuangyi's eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo had made enough trouble, but Zhao Pu'an was like Mount Tai, so Song Jiu suspected that he had made a misjudgment.
This made Song Jiu feel uncomfortable.
Because the two have different styles, Zhao Kuangyi will not tolerate himself playing conspiracies, but he will be able to do something if he blindly defends himself. But if he is just playing conspiracies, is he a match for Zhao Pu?
Zhao Pu made Song Jiu and his wife worry all day long at home.
That's why the scene tonight came.
The girl finally returned from a distant overseas.
In fact, overseas is not as dangerous as everyone imagines.
If a ship accident occurs, the risk at sea will definitely be higher than that in a large river. However, the two are different. Nowadays, the monsoon is waiting for the monsoon, which will be back and forth once a year, or even longer. If you go to the South China Sea, if you are really at sea, if you are going well, the back and forth will be less than a month, and the rest will be on the shore. The boats come and go in the rivers. Due to the long time, compared with the two, the Shanghai ship technology gradually improves, and the accident rate is almost the same.
Secondly, it is not suitable for the land and water and abuse. It is not suitable for the land and water, and many local methods have also come up with them, such as bringing tea from my hometown and putting the soil from my hometown in drinking water. I don’t know if it is effective. Song Jiu reminded that he would eat fruits with high vitamin content in apples, oranges and oranges. In fact, the seamen also noticed that they grow vegetables in the cabin, raise fish and pigs very early. However, as long as the measures are kept up, it is not very serious. The abuse is even more troublesome. However, unlike the army, the army often stays together, which is easy to get infected and abuse and spread. At most, there are about two hundred people on a boat overseas, and there are only a few dozen people, with a small number, and they will disperse immediately when they arrive on the shore. Therefore, although there are abuses, the harm is not serious.
But because of the rumors, the richest Jiangnan in the future has become a place of humid weather. Song Jiu made so much effort and correction, and Lingnan is still a place where miasma is rampant, and it is overseas.
The Song Dynasty is now relatively small, so Song Jiu dare not do too much, so he asked his mother to avoid it overseas, and even let his sons go overseas to hone their skills in the future, which is to use their family as a demonstration to correct everyone's concept.
If the common people go overseas, will they recognize China in hundreds of years? Song Jiu will not think about it. What he is thinking about is that the Song Dynasty will have a larger population in the future and there will be a place to clear the situation. Even if the Song Dynasty existed for five hundred years, there will be no land pressure due to population increase. To achieve this goal, tens of thousands of households must build settlements overseas when he was alive.
This is not only done for the country, but also for his descendants.
The girl went overseas, and those islands did bring considerable profits, so there were other imitations of Yanei.
But at this time, Song Jiu still didn't want his mother to come back.
I can come back, but I have to wait for Zhao Pu to fall.
However, Zhao Kuangyi said that Song Jiu had to let his mother come back.
Moreover, because of the court, Song Jiu did not dare to make a high profile, so he deliberately asked his mother's boat to be moored to the dock at night and came back quietly.
The sky gradually darkened.
A carriage arrived outside the door, and the girl quietly walked down from the carriage. Compared with the past, she changed a lot.
With the exposure of the sun in the South China Sea, her skin became a little dark, but she looked healthier than before. If it was a residual flower in the autumn wind, with a dead spirit, now it is a spring flower in spring, becoming more vibrant.
However, Song Jiu still didn't think about how to arrange her.
I don't know what she was thinking, but when I come back, it's always good news...
Pan Lian'er said, "Little Swallow, you finally flew back."
