Wu Yu, who was busy buying silk at a low price, looked stupid at the notice posted by Datang Bank.
For the exchange of silk, the money bank gave only 80% of the original value, and the silk that was once worth two hundred liters can now only be exchanged directly at the bank to get one hundred and sixty wen.
If you want not to depreciate, you have to save it for five years at a time. If five years are not there, it will become 80% of the value as long as it is put forward.
Wu Feng didn't bother to take care of Bihai Yinsha's affairs. He hurriedly found Wu Yu, and the two began to study.
"Brother, is Zhang Xiaobao sick? Silk has always been used as currency. He suddenly reduced the value of silk. So many people who have silk in their hands can do it? This is equivalent to directly letting those who have silk lose a percentage. How much can the profit of the commodity be for 20% of the money?"
Wu Yu now knows a lot of things. After a little analysis, he will know the shortcomings of the bank. If you follow the bank's notice, then Datang will easily get messed up.
Wu Feng nodded to express his understanding, blinked a few times, and suddenly said happily: "Perhaps Zhang Xiaobao no longer thinks about the lives of the people. He is just making trouble for him. Now no one can protect him, even the emperor. ."
"Yes, let Niang Niang trouble him. Oh, I'm still using money to collect silk, 90% of the price, not good, the cash is gone."
When Wu Yu was happy, he suddenly remembered a very serious problem. The money he finally raised was still collecting silk. Now the bank is collecting 80% of the price. Wouldn't his money disappear in a blink of an eye
…
Knowing the notice from the Datang Bank, Concubine Wu Hui was happy. The opportunity, the opportunity is right in front of her, within reach. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have always acted meticulously, and now there is a loophole.
Don’t you always say that what you do is for the sake of the people? How to explain the bank's price reduction and collection of silk
Soon, Concubine Wu Hui found her minister and prepared to impeach Zhang Xiaobao on charges of disrupting the economy of the Tang Dynasty and destroying the foundation of the country. Once the impeachment is successful, even if Zhang Xiaobao is not dead, she will fall into a skin.
Concubine Wu Hui almost coincided with Zhang Sai, who was also waiting for the opportunity, and they negotiated in private and decided to launch an attack on the morning of the next day.
"Queen, it's okay, something big happened, something went wrong with Datang Bank." Xiaozhu, who had just received the news, panted to Queen Wang, and said to the Queen with his chest ups and downs.
After hearing Xiaozhu's words, Queen Wang could no longer remain calm, her face changed, and said: "How could Xiaobao come up with such an idea? Want to push herself into the fire pit? Could someone frame Xiaobao? Quick, go find Gao. Lux."
When many people were happy or anxious, Li Longji was playing chess with Gao Lishi very calmly. Seeing that Gao Lishi could only parry and had no power to fight back, Li Longji gently twisted a chess piece with his hand and said: " Starting from the autumn harvest this year, it will not be difficult for the people to dress."
Gao Lishi tried hard to think about the chess game and had to deal with Li Longji's words. He frowned and put the black spot anywhere, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and replied: "Your Majesty’s words are not bad. People will impeach Xiaobao. Your Majesty should release the news soon."
"No hurry, but Xiaobao said in his heart that he must wait for the impeachment of his officials before he can do it. It was too early for someone to deliberately act against it. This step was originally difficult. As a result, the bank gave a notice, but it went smoothly."
Li Longji fell behind and continued to press Gao Lishi's defense, said lightly.
In the early days of the next day, as Gao Lishi and Li Longji had guessed, the people from Yushitai and Zhongshuling impeached Zhang Xiaobao at the same time.
Some said that Zhang Xiaobao should not continue to manage the bank, some said that he wanted to mislead the country and the people, and some even said directly that he wanted to shake the foundation of Datang.
No one was speaking for Zhang Xiaobao anymore. Li Longji was sitting on it, watching the ministers on both sides of the steps or being silent, or communicating quietly with people around him, or following Yushitai and Zhong Shuling. When Zhang Xiaobao was impeached, his face was always calm.
It wasn't until some people said that they were tired, and some people's legs were numb, and everyone realized that there seemed to be a problem with the emperor's attitude.
There was no sound, and he was about to wait for what others said. The emperor became angry, and then Zhang Shuo, who stood up and laid down the charges for Zhang Xiaobao, retreated in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he finally stood up and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, is there any other means that Datang Bank Deacon Zhang Xiaobao hasn't used? Currency is a major issue of people's livelihood, so you must check it out."
As soon as Zhang said what he said, the people from Yushitai and Zhongshuling began to look at each other. What do you mean? Didn’t it say that everyone should impeach Zhang Xiaobao together? Why did the head start to change
Li Longji just waited for others to ask, otherwise how to show his ability, nodded and signaled Zhang Shuo to go back, and then opened the dragon's mouth.
"The 80% of Datang Bank’s collection of silk has anything to do with the currency economy? I don’t allow you to use silk as money. You don’t need to deposit the bank, and the transaction is still there. Could it be that the bank posted a notice saying that 10% of the price was collected on silk? People are rushing to save?"
After hearing this, the ministers felt that it made sense, but why did it feel untenable? What went wrong
That's right, the money house collects silk at a low price, so you don't need to save it, and no one is forcing anyone to save it, but things shouldn't be so simple, eh? What's the matter
Zhang said that he didn't react for a moment, and he was stunned.
At this time, Li Linfu, who had returned to the court, stood up and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, for one thing, the bank is named Datang, and the people know that all the money of the bank goes to the court, and the bank tells it from the court. The people do not know the holy words, but only for your majesty to judge.
For the two, the transaction is four or six cents, and the money house is for depositing near and near. However, the price of silk is cheap, can there be silk deposits in the exchange market? If the silk does not exist, what is the deal? Then it's cheap, and the money out of the market is only finished goods, or the people are chaotic. "
When other people who wanted to impeach Zhang Xiaobao heard it, they suddenly, yes, the bank’s name is Datang. Everyone knows that this Datang bank is under the control of the court. Doesn’t the bank’s notice mean the emperor? How can it be separated.
And if you don’t deposit silk in a bank, those who have silk will remain. They only deposit the money in the bank here, and then pick it up where needed. They are always 40% silk and 60% of the money. , How can you deal with others if you have leftovers? Everyone don't want to use silk, the price will be lower.
It is estimated that it will not take long before silk cannot be used as currency. Instead, it has become an ordinary cloth for trading.
Finally the problem was found, and those who wanted to impeach Zhang Xiaobao began to try again.
Li Longji, who was fooling his ministers, didn’t care when he saw a clever man popping up. He followed Li Linfu’s words and said: “Qing’s words are very true, and I also know. Therefore, I want to collect silk and use it as the national treasury for a period of five years. The difference from the bank is that we give profit, every month for every profit, and return it for five years. Does the public think so?"
"Your Majesty is going to borrow money from the people?" Zhang said and asked again.
"No, I use money for the people. Now the treasury is full, and after five years, there will be more. Repay the money to the people, hide the wealth for the people, if the people are rich, they will be healthy, and if the people are healthy, the country will be strong."
Li Longji said that he didn't admit that he wanted to borrow national debt, and he wanted to sell the collected silk to neighboring countries to exchange good resources for others, and cancel the silk as currency.
Zhang said that after thinking about it, it is true that the national treasury is not short of money now, and there is no need to deceive the people's money, but there is a problem, so he said: "Your Majesty, every month is a profit, at least 12% a year, Or 10%, five years is at least 60% profit, can the national treasury have so much money to take?"
"Money is not always put in the treasury. You can buy goods from neighboring countries, as long as you make more money than you will give five years later."
Li Longji explained this problem. In fact, there is one thing he did not say, that is, currency will gradually depreciate. The more productivity develops, the higher the price of luxury goods, and then the price of currency will also fluctuate. The big trend is depreciation.
With the increase of goods, the income of the people will also increase, and the value of the depreciated currency can be balanced, but this national debt really takes advantage.
Especially the Xinyuan Island, the island is not small. I learned from Zhang Xiaobao and the merchants who have been there that there are many good things there, but the local people’s daily necessities are very poor, especially the clothes and sleeping beds. What, the head of the local tribe can send a hundred people to do a month's work for nothing for a beautiful dress. How can there be such a good thing in Datang
Listening to Li Longji's words, the person who had just impeached Zhang Xiaobao was speechless. Zhang said that he was a bit unwilling. When he was about to continue fighting for the emperor to punish Zhang Xiaobao, Li Longji spoke again.
"Paper currency printing can't be placed in Jilizhou, it needs to be moved to the capital. Who should take care of it?"
Printing money
It wasn't just the person who impeached Zhang Xiaobao who suddenly came up with two words in his mind, everyone was focused.
Everyone wanted to take a share, but Zhang Xiaobao was selectively forgotten.
After a fight, a balance was finally reached when the next dynasty was about to come. The Zhongshu Order led the Ministry of Households to do it, the Ministry of War sent guards, the Ministry of Penalties formulated punishments, the Ministry of Etiquette pondered the etiquette patterns for future improvements, and the Ministry of Industry provided equipment. The staff will arrange official positions.
When they waited for everyone to return to their department, they found that no one was taking advantage of each other, and it was impossible to get some private money from China.
Soon, the imperial court's notice was also sent to various government offices in an emergency report of eight hundred miles, for people to post it.
There is a fixed period of time, four months, and only four months for the imperial court to collect the silk. After four months, the silk will not be collected, and people are urged to clean up the silk as quickly as possible.
Wu Yu was stupid again.
