Paper banknotes are a breakthrough in the current financial situation of the Song Dynasty. So far, the progress has been very good.

This promotion work cannot be urgent, but should be gradually put into the market bit by bit. Once urgent, a large amount of banknotes flow into the market, it may trigger a rush to exchange, which will be out of control at that time.

In the Sansi and Bao Zheng's duty room, everyone was curious about the rumor that the late emperor and the current officials expected him to take over Sansi in the future.

Chen An knocked on the table and asked without hesitation: "What's going on?"

The officials all looked at Cai Xiang, deputy envoy of the Third Division.

Chen An's qualifications naturally cannot be compared with Cai Xiang, and the other party is also an old man in his fifties, so he sat upright.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a tradition in China.

Cai Xiang looked a little annoyed, and he stroked his beard and said, "Although he didn't say anything when he was issuing the banknotes, most of the officials did not exchange copper coins... Anxiang should have the staff of the Imperial City Department?"

Chen An nodded.

When issuing paper money, it mainly faces officials and powerful people.

It’s okay for the powerful to say that after all, it’s not short of money, and even if it’s piled up banknotes at home, it’s not a problem.

But officials are different. Salary is a guarantee for them to support the family, and any reform of reducing salaries will be resisted by them.

But when the banknotes were sent out, they were not exchanged for them. They could only watch the merchants and the people taking the banknotes to remove the fragrance, and each silo would be worth one more cent.

Everyone is a literati after all, so they naturally don’t want to take advantage of a penny.

But the situation outside is not very good!

"It's very troublesome to refuse to accept banknotes in some places!"

Cai Xiang had a headache, "I had a headache when Bao Xiang was there, but those merchants were spontaneous. Someone from the Sansi asked, and they said that it was unstable to collect the banknotes... Later, it was said that they could exchange them for the hidden fragrance, but there were still many people who were unwilling to collect them. They disdained the cheap price of the penny, but were afraid of trouble and risks..."

There are many such people, such as some otakus and ladies in later generations, whose attitude towards life is convenient.

Everything is mainly convenient. Not to mention a penny, Brother Ten Monkey is too lazy to raise his eyelids.

But these businessmen are a little arrogant!

"They are bullying customers by the store!"

Chen An made this definition without hesitation.

The officials looked at each other, thinking that this person really... If he were the prime minister, it would be a matter of saying that the donkey was a horse would happen again.

"Buying and selling will not be a righteous person, and buying and selling will be free. This is not considered a big bullying of customers in the store."

"It's like gold and silver. Most of the gold and silver are not allowed to be collected at present. If you get a piece of gold to buy things, the shopkeeper will not accept it!"

The gold and silver have to be exchanged after they are collected, and the proportions are on the move every day. The store is so full that it is causing trouble for itself!

When these officials said this, they found that Chen An did not respond, so they stopped embarrassedly.

Speaking of which, they are also victims of refusing to accept banknotes, but they are habitually analyzing them from the perspective of officials of the Three Divisions.

But if others don’t care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. Their position should be on Shen An’s side.

Chen An said angrily: "What does it mean to be unyielding and righteous? They are smashing their jobs. They are smashing their jobs in the Song Dynasty. Refusing to accept paper money is a crime!"

Ma Dan, it should be a crime to refuse to accept it?

Chen An thought about it and felt that it was right.

Cai Xiang sighed: "Those officials were inconvenient to use the banknotes, so they complained. Someone threw the banknotes in and cursed at the door, saying that they would rather be poor than ask for banknotes again."

"I have a bad temper and I'm too angry."

Chen An felt that this was an internal strife, "The businessmen and the people outside must be watching jokes, and they must be calmed down as soon as possible."

He suddenly realized that Zhao Shu sent him to come for this!

As a new thing, banknotes flow slowly in Bianliang, and the most popular ones are probably merchants.

Merchants travel around the world and according to the size of their business, they have to carry a lot of copper coins, which is very inconvenient.

Paper money came into being, and this is the time.

Cai Xiang said with some concern: "This matter will break out. If you ignore it, it will be the day when the salary will be paid. Someone just needs to make a fuss inside, and the matter will be a big deal."

Officials would protest collectively, demanding that paper money be issued no longer in the salary, otherwise everyone would give up.

The officials of the Sansi were all a little sad. First, they empathized and couldn't like the banknotes; second, if the officials caused trouble, the Sansi would have a lot of things, which was very troublesome.

"It's not good to make trouble!"

Chen An's eyes were filled with fierceness, which scared Cai Xiang, "Rebirth Marquis, you can't use force! Once you use force, the officials will become disunited. Once the officials are disunited, what else is there in the Song Dynasty? They are all dispersed!"

Cai Xiang saw that there was a little more vicissitudes, Chen An quickly said, "It's nothing, it's an internal conflict, so where do you use force? You're thinking too much, so be at ease."

Cai Xiang's body looked bad, and she was even more haggard than Bao Zheng.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I know that you have many ideas for converting to the Marquis. When Bao Xiang is here, he said you can do big things. And you made the banknotes. I'm afraid no one in Sansi knows better than you, right?"

Everyone nodded.

If this matter is not done well, it will cause dissatisfaction among officials. If it is not done well, it will become cannon fodder, so no one is willing to take over.

The official sent Chen An, probably because he thought that he would not care about these things.

Well, I will die for fellow Taoists.

Fellow Daoist Chen, go all the way.

Everyone's eyes were a little strange, with a little pity. Chen An was not angry when he saw it, and said, "I went to the palace for a trip."

He just left, but the three-legged hind legs were in full swing.

"It turned out that Chen An came to deal with this matter? That's trouble."

"That guy is cruel and ruthless, will he take action?"

"I'm thinking too much, this matter involves thousands of officials, and Chen An is not that stupid."

"That's right, he's not short of money, but we're short of money! It's unnecessary to send us banknotes, how good it's cancelled."

"Cancel is probably difficult!"

"If we don't cancel, we'll go make a fuss. Bao Xiang is not here anyway, so let's take the opportunity to make a fuss!"

Cai Xiang looked at this scene in depression and felt that she was afraid she would take the blame for Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng went home to recuperate, which was the official's order. So Cai Xiang took over the stolen property, but the major matters had to be handed over to the prime ministers, and he was just a waste of time.

In other words, he is the cannon fodder that presides over the daily work of the Sansi, and it is not his turn to make decisions on major matters.

He coughed dryly, and the officials looked at him and then did what they should do.

"When will Bao Xiang come back?"

"It seems like there are five days left?"

"Tsk! As soon as Bao Xiang comes back, our good days will be gone. Why don't we... take advantage of the trouble now?"

"That's right, as soon as Bao Xiang comes back, we're afraid we have to trot when we go to the toilet, so now we should enjoy it."

"Yes! Thinking of Bao Xiang's roar, I felt that I was afraid I would not live long."

Cai Xiang coughed again, and this time the officials simply didn't even bother to look at it.

It's so sad!

Why did I attack Bao Zheng?

Cai Xiang felt that he was a tragedy. He was so good when he was an official in Quanzhou. He was like a fish in water, but later he was transferred back to the capital, which turned into a tragedy.

Bao Zheng has a bad temper and scolds him at any time. As the deputy, Cai Xiang will inevitably be affected. It is really hard to bear!

Moreover, Bao Zheng's aura was too strong, which made Cai Xiang's sense of existence very weak, so weak that the officials ignored his existence.

I can't be Bao Zheng's deputy!

At this moment, Cai Xiang understood this truth, but unfortunately it was too late.

Chen An in the palace is explaining his solution.

"...The official family, Anxiang's mission has been completed, and paper money has gradually become popular. Therefore, I think the rule of exchange for paper money for copper coins should be abolished."

Zhao Shu threw him to the Sansi, originally trying to find a way to suppress the officials' dissatisfaction, but Chen An came up with a big problem with his backhand.

"If the exchange is cancelled, will the banknotes be rejected? Those officials will feel even more wronged." Zhao Shu thought Chen An was a little simpler to think about it, "At that time, the prestige in the court will be lost for a while, who will listen to the future government orders?"

Maintaining the prestige of the government is an irrefutable task at this time.

"But you forgot about the merchants." Chen An said: "In fact, the one who likes paper money the most is the merchants. They travel around the world. Who would like to take the convoy to trade? The car was full of copper coins. What should I do if I met a strong man on the road? There are so many big cars, it is hard to run. If it is paper money, who knows how much money you have?"

Such looting happens often, and those merchants cannot even save their lives unless they abandon their carts.

This is the disadvantage of copper coins, so merchants are actually the most staunch supporters of paper money.

"But if the banknotes depreciate, the merchants will abandon them like worn-out shoes!" Zhao Shu's words were very correct.

Merchants are seeking profits. If banknotes will cause their interests to be damaged, then I'm sorry, we won't get involved in this matter.

This is the businessman.
