Hu Quan was greatly surprised and asked: "Your Majesty, I am so stupid that I asked the Kingdom of Jin to pay money. What is the purpose?"

Currency first started to play tricks in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang unified China and ushered in the imperial era.

However, the imperial ideology, imperial bureaucracy, and imperial finance were still blank during the Qin Shihuang era.

The ideology, bureaucracy, and finance of Qin Shihuang's era are all from the Qin era, and they are suitable for Qin, but not for the empire.

There is a difference between governing a kingdom and governing an empire.

In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ideology of "exclusively respecting Confucianism, deposing hundreds of schools of thought, being influenced by heaven and man, and divine power of kings" set the ideology for the imperial era.

However, the power to mint money was vested in the imperial court, the salt and iron were state-run, and the internal dynasty's official system of ministers was the prototype of the imperial financial currency and bureaucratic system.

The dynasty of the next two thousand years basically tinkered with his framework.

As an ancient person, especially a true minister of state affairs, he naturally knows the wonders of currency.

Moreover, the Zhao and Song Dynasties were simply the leaders in the imperial era in terms of "printing money", catching up with the Han and Tang Dynasties and surpassing the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

However, Hu Quan may not know that printing money can also cut off other countries’ leeks.

This is because the ancient currency itself was extremely expensive to produce and was a scarce resource, so it was impossible to sell it to enemy countries casually.

Zhao Ning said: "If the Kingdom of Jin uses my Song Dynasty's banknotes, it means that I can use the banknotes to purchase goods in the Jin Kingdom."

"Indeed."

"Then the imperial court can pay the money and go to the Kingdom of Jin to buy goods?"

"Okay, but..."

Hu Quan realized it immediately.

The imperial court took the banknotes and went to the Kingdom of Jin to buy things. Where did the imperial court's money come from?

The imperial court could just print money to buy things from the Kingdom of Jin!

The cost of printing money is very low. For example, if the court prints 100,000 guan to buy 1,000 sheep, the cost of 100,000 guan banknotes is at most 100 guan?

Add 300 yuan for shipping?

It is equivalent to spending 300 yuan to buy 1,000 sheep.

Then, he sold 1,000 sheep within the Song Dynasty for 20,000 guan, and the court made a profit of 17,000 guan!

The price of sheep has also dropped to 20 guan each.

It seems that the Jin Kingdom made 100,000 yuan, but in fact it was the Song Dynasty that really made money!

"But..." Hu Quan asked doubtfully, "If a large amount of currency flows into the Jin Kingdom, wouldn't it mean that it would have the money to recruit troops and manufacture armaments..."

As soon as he said this, he felt that he had thought wrong again.

Even if the 100,000 Guan banknotes do not flow into the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Jin still has the assets of 1,000 sheep, which can be exchanged into the currency of the Kingdom of Jin in the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Ning said meaningfully: "Remember, currency is just a tool, not wealth."

Hu Quan was shocked and murmured: "Currency is just a tool, not wealth..."

Zhao Ning continued: "If the imperial court concentrates on purchasing Jin goods at high prices, causing the quantity of handover banknotes in the Jin Kingdom to skyrocket, the value of the handover banknotes in the Jin Kingdom will inevitably depreciate."

Hu Quan suddenly realized what he was doing.

If the banknotes depreciate in the Kingdom of Jin, there will be two results:

1. Prices in the Golden Kingdom skyrocketed and people's livelihood collapsed.

Second, people from the Jin Kingdom rushed to the Song Dynasty with money to buy goods, and the Song Dynasty then sold the goods at high prices to make money from the Jin Kingdom.

After the imperial court took control of currency distribution, it directly printed money to buy things.

This is a fucking robbery!

Hu Quan immediately admired Zhao Guanjia and fell to the ground.

They only knew that the Zhao Guan family's implementation of handing over banknotes was to solve the outflow of copper coins and tax standards, but they did not continue to think further.

The Zhao Guan family is going to play a big game!

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "The same strategy can be used against Xixia, Dali, Japan, and the Western Regions."

Hu Quan was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to recover from the shock.

Hearing what the official said today, Hu Quan just felt that a door to a new world had opened.

In fact, Hu Quan still doesn't know how terrifying it will be once the banknote payment is implemented.

For example, the Song Dynasty court printed money to buy salt in large quantities from Jin Kingdom salt dealers at high prices. The price was 10 times higher than that of the Jin Kingdom itself!

There must be many people smuggling salt over. If this happens, there will be a shortage of salt in the Jin Kingdom and the price will inevitably rise sharply.

As for the Song Dynasty court's so-called payment of 10 times the money to buy salt, the money used was printed in the money printing machine.

This can completely trigger a domestic economic crisis in the Kingdom of Jin and destroy the economy of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the same way, if anyone around you is disobedient, you will use this gangster method to rob the other party.

The purchased goods are resold in the home country.

Of course, this kind of currency play must be backed by strong force.

Otherwise, if you play like this with Jin Guo, Jin Guo will just flip the table and fight!

Zhao Ning continued: "I am recruiting you back because I want you to go to Shaanxi and be in charge of Shaanxi Sixth Road Bank."

Hu Quan said quickly: "How can I be so virtuous and capable..."

"You are not only in charge of the newspaper office, but also assisted in the implementation of banknotes, public opinion, currency, border trade and trade in Qingyuan Prefecture. You have experience. You were also responsible for the new agricultural policy in the Department of Agricultural Affairs, and you also have experience as a civil servant. You are the most suitable

.”

"But I'm afraid I don't have enough qualifications."

Being in charge of the Sixth Bank, this level is probably equivalent to the level of the Sixth Book of Secretaries.

"When have my employees ever seen their qualifications? Or are you saying you don't want to?"

"I don't dare. Your Majesty entrusts me with important responsibilities. I am happy before it is too late. I am afraid that I am not qualified enough..."

"Since you are willing, then this matter is settled. You can start from Jingzhao Mansion first."

"Yes, thanks to your majesty's great trust, I will not give up even if I die!"

The armed war was to destroy Xixia. After the destruction, how to make Xixia completely become a part of the Song Dynasty, and even the Western Regions became a part of the Song Dynasty?

Military garrison, cultural penetration, economic ties, and currency connections!

These are the top-level strategies of the country, and these are what Zhao Ning should think about.

As for how to make Jin and Xixia willing to accept the payment of money, that is what Zhao Ding, Wang Zonglio, and Hu Quan should think about.

Hu Quan is a talented person. He grows up very quickly and is practical and capable. Young people like this should be given more opportunities.

After talking about his thoughts with Hu Quan, Zhao Ning ran to take a rest.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I suddenly received Xixia's credentials.

Zhao Ning ran to Chui Gong Hall, summoned the ministers, and met with the Xixia envoy.

After the Xixia envoy read the letter of credence, the civil and military ministers of the court were immediately angry.

Cai Mao couldn't help standing out and scolded: "Despicable and shameless! I, the Song Dynasty, pity your poverty and can't bear the fact that your small country and its people are freezing to death in the wilderness. So I made you a king and allowed you to trade with each other in Huizhou. It's better for you to plan a little trick on your own.

Put the responsibility on me, Da Song, shameless!"

"Do you think I, the Song Dynasty, are a fool?" Xu Han also jumped out, "If you want to start a war, you send people to pretend to be from the Song Dynasty to rob your businessmen? You don't even look in the mirror. I, the Song Dynasty, are rich all over the world. What do you want?

Is it worth grabbing something?"

The Xixia envoy never thought that all the Song Dynasty court officials were sharp-tongued, fierce and indignant.

He said angrily: "Your country is a kingdom of heaven, so you are disrespectful!"

Gao Qiu, the loser of Zhao Guan's family, came out: "Fart! You said it was rude to be rude? Tomorrow I will have someone pretend to be a party member outside Tokyo and intercept me, the richest man in Tokyo. Then my army of the Song Dynasty will come to your Xingqing Mansion. You Do you want to make friends with others?"

The Xixia envoy was furious: "You... you people..."
