If it were Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, they would release the copper ore they had obtained from Dali in one go.
Prices will skyrocket in an instant, and the people will definitely be miserable.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen have been holding on, just to protect the interests of the people.
Zhao Zhen followed Kou Ji and laughed, "I look at them like a frog at the bottom of a well, and the amount of money saved by Jiaozipu is beyond their imagination.
My inner warehouse, the imperial court's closed pile warehouse, and the warehouse of the equipment workshop are stored in a huge number of copper ingots.
Criminals in Dali and Jiaozhi are mining copper mines in Dali day and night, and the copper smelting workshop on the river has never turned off.
My inner library is full, and copper ingots are still being shipped to Bianjing.
My Da Song now has more money in control than in previous dynasties.
A group of fleas gathered together, wanting to buy out all of my Da Song's copper coins with the insignificant amount of gold and silver in their hands.
Really wishful thinking.
If I don't trouble them, it's already considered benevolent and righteous. They dare to trouble me.
I want to teach them a lesson, but I have been undecided, and I still need the fourth brother to solve the puzzle. "
Kou Ji sat next to Zhao Zhen, thinking about it, “It’s easy to clean them up. But after they clean up, they must find ways to transfer the harm to the people.
In the end, the people are still suffering. "
Zhao Zhen frowned, "Should they let them bully me?"
Kou Ji groaned and did not speak.
It is very easy to clean up the rich and powerful people behind the scenes, as long as they release a lot of copper coins, so as to drain the gold and silver in their hands and let their copper coins fall in their hands.
More ruthlessly, gold and silver coins can be launched along the way, and a relative exchange system can be formulated to make the copper coins in their hands worthless.
Their wealth will shrink drastically.
But on the other hand, the property in the hands of the people will also shrink drastically.
Eventually the imperial court will take this to a good harvest.
The rich and powerful will mourn again and again, and the people will suffer miserably.
The imperial court now needs to clean up the wealthy, not the common people.
Seeing that Kou Ji fell into silence, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but speak, "Fourth brother feels wrong?"
Kou Ji sighed: "The rich and powerful, the ministers will not feel bad about how much to clean up. If you dare to take advantage of the court, you must be prepared to be cleaned up by the court.
But if it is too ruthless, the people will eventually be implicated.
This year, Da Song collected a lot of materials and handed it to the King of Cozhi County.
In fact, there is a shortage of civilian materials.
Once we take a ruthless hand, private prices will multiply.
The people will be even more miserable then. "
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen muttered: "Fourth brother wants me to endure it?"
Kou Ji suggested: "First give a small punishment and see if they will stop."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and waited quietly for the following.
Kou Ji slowly said: "Order the Yizijiaozi shop to stop issuing more than ten tongzi. Since they like copper coins, let them trade with copper coins.
By the way, Fan Zhongyan can tell the local taxation bureaus that from now on, they will only charge copper coins. "
After analyzing Kou Ji's words quietly, Zhao Zhen said to Kou Ji: "Four brothers, if the Yizi Jiaozipu stops issuing more than ten Jiaozi, it can indeed punish the wealthy.
They have become accustomed to trading with Jiaozi, and stopped sending Jiaozi, which has a great impact on them, but it does not hurt the people.
But if the tax department only accepts copper, will it raise the price of copper
Do those big wealthy people think that the court is only copper, so they only charge copper
Are they crazier? "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "If you are crazy, you can make them crazy. We can take advantage of the situation to release some of the stored copper and let them hide it in our hands.
The copper coin flows into their hands, but they will not take it out and will not harm the people.
We can get back gold and silver from them at a low price.
When the time is right, we can issue gold and silver coins.
Let go of Jiaozi's control again.
If they are acquainted, they will obediently persuade us.
If they are ignorant, then we will take back the money in the hands of the people and recast it, and then let it go.
Then let local taxation bureaus only charge new money. "
Kou Ji's advice was very gentle and did not harm the people.
If Kou Ji didn't care about the life and death of the people, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome.
After listening to Kou Ji's suggestion, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then stop sending out more than ten Jiaozi first."
Zhao Zhen wrote a sentence and put it on the table without mentioning it again.
Kou Ji didn't say much.
The two went to the dossier room of Shishitang, and based on the official documents of Han Qi and Bao Zheng, they assigned military households in Hedong and Jiangnan.
Not every place in Liao is suitable for farming, such as the Big and Small Xing'an Mountains, Changbai Mountains, and mountainous areas, which are not suitable for farming at all.
Plains in the Pingchuan River, such as Linhengfu, are suitable for large-scale cultivation.
In ancient Mongolian Mansion and other places, half ploughing and half planting were necessary.
The topography of each place is different, and the number of people assigned is different.
So it must be allocated according to the situation.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen don't need to allocate so finely, just give a number roughly. The specific local officials and Zhang Zhibai will look at the allocation.
After Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen had roughly allocated them, they sent them to Zhang Zhibai in Liaodi quickly.
Let Zhang Zhibai urge the local officials to do a good job of reception and distribution.
Some days later.
Calm and calm.
The heavy snow covered the city of Bianjing one layer after another.
There was a white disaster in Bianjing.
The prefect of Quan Kaifeng prefecture led the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses to clear the snow and clean up the dilapidated houses. Wang Zeng led the people from the household department to distribute food and charcoal for disaster relief, and to the people whose houses were crushed by snow Set up temporary tents.
There is enough food stored in the Changping warehouse in Bianjing City, so it is enough to deal with any disaster.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Kou Ji went for a walk in the city of Bianjing and found that there was no place for him to intervene, so he nestled in the bamboo courtyard to teach.
Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, and Zhao Run were lying on the desk and reading.
Recently they added a new course.
Math.
Different from traditional arithmetic, Professor Kou Ji's arithmetic for Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong was a book compiled by himself.
A few talents get started.
Entry is high and low.
Zeng Gong is still competing with Arabic numerals, not because Zeng Gong is not smart enough, but because Zeng Gong resists Arabic numerals.
Wang Anshi and Zhao Run moved quickly.
The fastest is Zhao Run.
Zhao Run has made no progress in martial arts, but is very talented in mathematics.
Kou Ji dozed off in a rocking chair in the study, with a brazier on his feet.
Zhao Xu and Kou Hui had a snowball fight in the garden outside the study.
Laughter has been circling in the study room.
Zhao Run thought was hooked out and wanted to go out to play.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong seemed to have something to say, and frequently looked at Kou Ji who was dozing off on the rocking chair.
"Since you are restless, don't study, go out and play."
Kou Ji opened his eyes faintly, saw the three little guys restless, and said a little.
Without thinking about it, Zhao Run cheered and rushed out of the study, and soon joined the battle group of Zhao Xu and Kou Hui.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong did not rush out, but got up to bow to Kou Ji.
"Sir, the students have doubts..."
After the salute, Wang Anshi spoke softly.
Although Zeng Gong didn't say anything, he still had doubts in his heart.
Kou Ji stopped the rocking chair that was dangling, and his eyes fell on both of them, "Teacher, preaching, teaching, solving puzzles. If you have any doubts, ask me, you should."
When Wang Anshi heard this, he knew that Kou Ji had answered his question.
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Sir, recently there was a problem that was hotly discussed in the Wenchang Academy, but there has been no result.
So the students came to ask Mr. for advice. "
Kou Ji slowly sat up and said, "If you have any questions, just say, don't be so mother-in-law."
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Students are used to having surplus money in their homes, so they often use Jiaozi. Some wealthy businessmen even use Jiaozi as money.
Before the delivery, large transactions were settled either by using gold or silver or using a large amount of copper.
After the advent of the consignment, almost all large transactions were settled by consignment.
Jiaozi can be said to have become a necessity for large-scale transactions.
It provides convenience for many people in Da Song.
This shows that Jiaozi is a good thing.
Since it is a good thing, why did the court suddenly stop sending it? "
After listening to Wang Anshi's words, Kou Ji was taken aback for a while, and said, "Stopping the delivery of children, it involves government affairs. Does the Wenchang Academy now have a government affairs section?"
Kou Ji didn't remember that Kou Zhun opened a government affairs department in Wenchang Academy, nor did he hear that his successor opened in Wenchang Academy, so I have this question.
After Kou Ji’s voice landed, Zeng Gong said: “Sir, Wenchang Academy does not have a government affairs department. It is just the people who come out of Wenchang Academy, and most of them will become officials in the future.
After they have studied scriptures, martial arts and other subjects, they will discuss the government affairs in the court in their free time, so as to accumulate some insights for future official careers. "
Kou Ji suddenly became temperamental and said with a smile, "According to your age and your position in the Wenchang Academy, it should be time to step up study of scriptures and martial arts.
Discussing government affairs should be those students who are about to graduate.
You suddenly became so concerned about government affairs. Are you embarrassed by the problems of government affairs? "
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong looked at each other and nodded together.
Kou Ji smiled and exhorted: "You are my students. Others embarrass you with this question. It is very likely that they have ulterior motives. You should be careful."
Wang Anshi said sternly: "They can't hide their little tricks from the students. The students won't let them get what they want. But their questions really aroused the students' curiosity, so the students wanted to ask for an answer from the husband."
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you about it."
Kou Ji waved his hand.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong took their seats slowly, and the two looked at Kou Ji, quietly waiting for Kou Ji to solve their puzzles.
Kou Ji smiled after they settled down: "Jiaozi actually involves another discipline. The appearance of Jiaozi is actually an innovation in money."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji paused and said: "What do you think of money?"
Wang Anshi pondered for a while and said, "Students think that some things that are too scarce are used as money because they are expensive."
Zeng Gong stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Students think that money is the source of all evil."
Before Kou Ji could speak, Wang Anshi said to Zeng Gong unceremoniously: "There is no good or bad in money itself, and evil is endowed by the human heart. Therefore, it is not appropriate to call money the source of all evil."
Just as Zeng Gong was about to refute, Kou Ji knocked on the armrest of the rocking chair.
"Digress..."
As soon as this remark came out.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong shut up one after another.
Kou Ji stared at the two little guys and said: "Gold, silver, and bronze have no special meaning in themselves. The reason why they can be used as money is given by people.
The reason why Jiaozi can be used as money in the Da Song business is also endowed by man.
As long as the court and the people admit that it is money, then he is money. "
The eyeballs of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong went round in an instant.
In my mind, I couldn't help thinking of what Da Song would look like if Jiaozi became money.
If Yizijiaozipu ran indiscriminately, it would be a disaster.
Kou Ji saw the two little guys widening their eyes, and knew that the two little guys were aware of the spontaneous sex.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Do you think that if Jiaozi is spam, the consequences will be upside down?"
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong nodded almost without hesitation.
Wang Anshi asked: "The imperial court stopped sending Jiaozi, is it because Jiaozi has a tendency to spam?"
Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "Yizijiaozipu is a royal property. To be more precise, it is a pillar of the imperial court. I and the officials know exactly what impact Jiaozi's promiscuity will have.
Do you think the officials and I will dig our own graves? "
Wang Anshi shook his head quickly.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "The reason why the imperial court stopped issuing more than ten Jiaozi is because someone has already penetrated a little bit of knowledge through the appearance of Yizi Jiaozi.
The government's desire to take back the commercial taxation power has touched the interests of many people.
They were unwilling, so they wanted to embarrass the court and force the court to give up the right to recover commercial taxation.
The official order to stop issuing more than ten ties is to give them a wake-up call, let them try the inconvenience of not having a child, let them know the methods of the court, and give up opposing the court. "
Upon hearing these words, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong realized how great the benefits are hidden behind them.
Now both the imperial court and Zhao Zhen, who controls the imperial court, are in full swing.
It is very unwise to oppose the court and Zhao Zhen at this time.
But someone still attacked the court.
That means that the court cut a little bit more meat.
Zeng Gong gritted his teeth and said: "It's true that a businessman pays great attention to profit. For his own benefit, it is damned to go against the court at all costs."
Wang Anshi nodded in agreement.
The scholars of the Song Dynasty all looked down on businessmen.
Merchants have always been in the low ranks and are the lowest class in society.
Kou Ji chuckled and said, "It's right for a businessman to make a big profit, and it's also right for a businessman to take risks for his own benefit. But this matter has little to do with the businessman.
Because the simple merchants among the people did not dare to oppose the court.
It would be nice if they could barely survive under the target of the rich.
Everyone in the ruling and opposition parties looked down on the merchants.
Therefore, it is difficult for a simple businessman to fight against the court.
Because they are suppressed everywhere.
Those who really dared to oppose the court were the businessmen behind the rich and powerful.
The two of you can be regarded as having few low-income families.
The contacts are also wealthy people in the family.
It should be possible to see that there are people behind every household in business.
Therefore, every household cannot be regarded as a mere businessman.
Because of you and even your parents, their business is very big.
It is also because you and your fathers behind you speak for them that they dare to oppose the court. "
When Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong heard Kou Ji's words, they frowned and fell into contemplation.
In the past, they looked down on businessmen, so they did not pay attention to this aspect.
Now they found out after Kou Ji reminded.
Although their family members are not in business, there are always some business managers in the family.
Manage three or five pavements.
On weekdays, I sell some things produced in my own fields, or other businesses.
It is precisely because of this that they have enough money to chant poems and make fus, so they can eat and be full without having to work.
Seeing that the two were lost in thought, Kou Ji continued with a smile: "Does it feel ridiculous? Everyone is clamoring and saying they don't like businessmen.
But merchants have always lived in the house.
And also through those merchants, continue to make money for the family.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Merchants are at the lowest level.
But most of the merchants had taxis standing behind them. "
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong frowned tighter.
Kou Ji continued: "There have been people from both the ruling and the opposition clamoring that the big man does not hold the low karma. But the low karma has always existed in the house. Most of the business in the house is still their own masters.
He secretly did what the businessman did, but didn't recite the infamy.
Just hire a steward and pick yourself up easily.
But after all, who is doing business
It's clear at a glance. "
In Kou Ji's eyes, not only the officials in the court draped a skin, but also the vast majority of the wealthy.
Businessmen have always been at the lowest level of society, and various government orders have suppressed them.
In such a society, it is good for a simple businessman to survive and survive.
No one can make a business bigger and stronger.
But you can go to the prosperous Bianjing city to see those wealthy businessmen who wear silk satin.
Which one is not just to do business with confidence, and which one is not rich and oily
Fan Tower can be opened on the edge of the imperial city, and it can be built one section higher than the tallest palace in the imperial city. Is that what ordinary merchants can do
The reason why they are so rich and so bold is because they have backing.
The backer is the scholar-official.
Kou Jichu entered the city of Bianjing and dealt with the Wu family, which is the best example.
It is a joke to say that the government and the opposition are ashamed of doing business.
They shouted fiercely one by one, and I didn't see anyone who asked the people in the house to sell all the shops and stop doing business.
In front of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, Kou Ji lifted the layer of skin draped on the giants and showed them the ugliness behind the giants. They were really unhappy.
You know, nearly 80% of officials from both the ruling and opposition parties are big households.
That is to say, nearly 80% of officials from both the ruling and the opposition clamored that the merchants are cheap, but behind the family members frantically make money from the cheap industry.
The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were really ugly.
Da Song is very powerful now, but being controlled by such a group of ugly people, Da Song's future is really worrying.
"Don't think about it so much... You are still young now, just think more and learn more. When you entered my door, I told you to ask for truth and pragmatism.
So when you are all right, take a look and take a good look at the essence behind everything.
As for the heavy burden of the ruling and the opposition, I will carry it first, sir.
When you need you, you will come out to help me. "
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong stood up and saluted Kou Ji respectfully.
Wang Anshi said with a solemn expression: "Sir, although the officials have sounded the alarm for those big businessmen... but they don't seem to appreciate it.
The official family stopped sending more than ten tranches of Jiaozi, so that the rich and powerful saw an opportunity to take advantage of.
Someone took the opportunity to set up Jiaozi shop and prepared to issue large-denomination Jiaozi.
It won't be long before it will open in Bianjing.
Many merchants have already taken the money from Yizijiaozipu, and plan to deposit it in the new Jiaozipu. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji was stunned for a long time, and said in amazement: "If they don't try it in the local area, will they just open it in Bianjing
Who did you hear about this news? "
Wang Anshi said solemnly: "When the students were invited to participate in a poetry meeting before, some people at the poetry meeting sighed with emotion. It was said that the officials had stopped issuing large-scale pay-offs and gave those businessmen a chance.
Those businessmen will definitely use this to make a fortune.
Also said..."
Wang Anshi didn't say anything here.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "You still said that the officials were confused, maybe they took me with you?"
Wang Anshi said with an embarrassed expression: "The officials dare not criticize. However, as a member of the school of Tongzhong, Mr. Pingzhang, seeing the official making such a confused decision, he did not stop him..."
"Then you think I'm negligent?"
Koj laughed.
Wang Anshi nodded stiffly.
Kou Ji smiled and said with emotion: "Jiaozi shop is not that easy to open. Whether it is the first Jiaozi shop in Shuzhong or the current Yizijiaozi shop, it has experienced a lot of ups and downs.
There are no fewer than eighteen Jiaozi shops that I have seen.
But the last surviving Jiaozipu, only one word Jiaozipu.
They only saw the word Jiaozi shop making money, and only saw the convenience of Jiaozi, but did not see how big the risks are behind it. "
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong asked curiously: "How big is it..."
Kou Ji faintly said: "A million guan, it's just drizzle, it's gone after a single breath."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong took a breath of air-conditioning, with a look of horror on their faces.
Not to mention a million pens, thousands of pens are a huge sum of money for them.
A million sticks, it's gone in one breath.
They really dare not think about it.
Kou Ji slowly got up, pouting his lips and said: "It's all you need to be obedient, and you have to get a shop to grab business. You can grab this kind of thing, can you control it
You toss the copper coins, don't toss the Jiaozipu to be strong.
Recklessly..."
After Kou Ji muttered these words, in the puzzled eyes of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, he faintly ordered: "Go and call me Zhao Run, and take you to make a small fortune for your teacher."
Upon hearing this, Wang Anshi immediately left the study and called to Zhao Run.
When Zhao Run heard that he was making money, he dropped Kou Hui and Zhao Xu and rushed into the study.
This kid is now a proper money fan.
