Chapter 511 Emperor Song Bao Chao

Mr. Lu was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "This is very good, this is very good, even I can't afford it."

Su You took down a brass and white-copper stamped copper stove from the shelf: "This tiger-spot stove is a new style. There are also leopard-spot, Fuyun, Yinyu and other styles."

"This is actually just a mixed melting process plus stamping and polishing. The melting point of cupronickel is higher than that of brass. Add the cupronickel juice to the brass juice. The cupronickel will become semi-solidified in a short period of time and will not melt. The stamped pattern will be half natural. It's partly manpower. But the products that can be sold here are not high-quality products, and those with naturally auspicious patterns are all included."

Mr. Lu turned over the bronzeware in his hand and said, "That's great. I wonder how much this piece of Fuyun costs?"

Su You said: "This piece you have is ten pounds, and the outside price is one hundred and fifty guan. But if you ask, Mr. Lu, I will give you the price given to Sitong Trading Company, which is 120 guan." Just add the bronze wares selected by Mr. Lu to the sales list for Sitong."

Lu Gongzhu is a Hanlin bachelor, and his monthly salary is fifty guan, which saves him more than half a month's salary.

The old man expressed his thanks and then said: "Eight pounds of copper material is a pound, which is very profitable."

Su You said: "Hey! There is a profit, but it is not as great as expected. Cooperating with Tang Gong to clean up the account books, the case and the general supervisor are also taking stock of the warehouses. It turns out that the quality of gold, silver and copper materials in various places varies."

"Lü Gong was also present at the Jinmingchi Conference. You've seen the kind of weapon demonstrated by Zhong Yi Zhong Xiao Ba, right? I dare say that if it is made with the materials in the case storage or inner storage, it will not hurt. The enemy blew himself up first. So he resmelted it and made it into copperware for sale to make up for the fire damage."

"This is also taking advantage of the issuance of banknotes to save the materials for casting copper coins. Your Majesty agreed to give it a try. It is considered a waste utilization."

Lu Gongzhu shook his head and sighed: "For the sake of self-interest, he did not hesitate to waste the country and smelted twice. How much manpower and material resources will it cost?"

Su You gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "So we need to unify the quality standards. The Zhou Plan has now developed a variety of standard distribution places, including buoyancy density meters, which can directly read. In the future, if the copper from each prison is If the materials are not up to standard, the central government has the right evidence and can directly hold the local authorities accountable!"

"Good!" Lu Gongzhu praised: "In this way, the cunning people will no longer have a place to hide!"

Su You smiled bitterly and said: "There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. I don't expect them to have anywhere to hide. As long as I can increase the cost of committing crimes for them high enough, I will be satisfied..."

Mr. Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "How did you come up with the density meter? With it, we have made great progress compared to the previous dynasties until now, when we used them without any rules. Mingrun's talent in this area is really amazing. .”

Su You said: "This is how we deal with government errands. As you can imagine, the refined salt purification process was not forced out by profiteers who mixed sand when they were young. They also knew that white sand was mixed in, and they couldn't even tell it when they bought it. so bad!"

"It is imperative to cultivate a business culture of integrity, starting with the case and general work! In the future, we will have to participate in the market, and we must not ruin the reputation of Tianjia."

Finally, Mr. Lu selected three pieces of bronze and left happily.

When Su You finished his work, he realized that Lu Gongzhu had left the inkstone here.

Su You turned the inkstone over, and eight small words were engraved on the bottom: "If you don't do good to yourself, you will just accept it."

This is a motto written by Lu Gong, which means that no matter how unpleasant others criticize you, just accept it directly.

Su You looked at the swelling on the edge of the inkstone and couldn't help but smile: "The inkstone can even make swelling appear. This is really the old man's favorite thing. Alas, my fate as an old man can't be cured..."

Wang Anshi went home after class and was lost in thought in his study.

On the desk, there are four banknotes, namely Yiguan, 500 yuan, 200 yuan, and 100 yuan.

There are still six kinds of small denominations that have not been taken out.

The largest Grand Slam note, due to the printing accuracy, was much larger than the hundred-dollar denomination in later generations, and was as big as a sixteenth-dollar note in later generations.

However, for the people of the Song Dynasty, the fine printing of multi-color ink copper plates was already a feat of ingenuity.

The front of the consistent treasure banknote is composed of several frames outlined with repeated and detailed lines. Above it is written the four small seal script characters of "Emperor and Song Dynasty Bao Chao", which is Ouyang Xiu's handwriting.

Below, there are six small characters written by Huangsong Bank, written by Sima Guang.

There are traditional Chinese auspicious patterns everywhere on the banknotes. In addition to Confucian etiquette, there are also Sanskrit numbers and Taoist talismans.

The consistent pattern theme on the front of treasure banknotes is the figure of Nuwa creating human beings, which was drawn by Wen Tongwen and Ke Ke, the most famous painter of the Song Dynasty.

The whole banknote has exquisite patterns and elegant colors. The main body of the frame uses colors from pink to azurite, from top to bottom. The Sanskrit numerals and Chinese numerals use crimson and ocher. Look carefully, you can see that they are all made of It is composed of hollow fine lines.

On the back of the banknote is the pattern of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, which is the work of Song Di, another famous painter of the Song Dynasty.

Looking through the light, there are various short lines and watermarks inside the banknotes.

Regarding the design and content of the treasure banknotes, the North Korean sergeant-officials also caused a controversy.

Some suggested Buddhism and Taoism, some suggested ancient auspicious animals, and some proposed adding the heads of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Song Dynasty emperors.

Sima Guang solemnly submitted a letter to this matter, and the officials only cared about flattering him without worrying about the consequences.

Emperor graphics are in the market, and they are easy to be molested by villains, and they are also easy to be used by people with ulterior motives to suppress nightmares. This is absolutely not allowed!

So I finally chose ancient myths and legends, as well as surnames such as Fuxi, Youchao, and Suiren who have made great contributions to Chinese civilization, as well as Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius, and Sun Tzu.

Wang Yu came in, saw a few banknotes on the desk, and said with a smile: "Su Mingrun has gone further and further in his strange and obscene skills."

Wang Anshi said: "But the officials and the people of the capital are happy with it. After class today, I bought a seven-wen soup drink on the roadside with fifty cash bills. The vendor gave me two twenty cash bills, one with two cash bills. There is also a one-cent copper coin."

Wang Yu took out a thin leather bag from his sleeve, opened the copper buckle, and it was divided into several layers of grids. He put all the banknotes on the table into it: "I bought this at Wanhuoji. I heard it is called a banknote folder." , this is an ordinary model, it only costs two hundred coins."

"Su Mingrun has even planned all these things in order to make money for the royal family. He is still the top pick of the imperial court. He is simply a businessman who is always willing to spend money! Hahahaha..."

The laughter was full of joy.

Wang Anshi frowned: "Your Majesty has already said that financial management is the top priority today. Do you have a prejudice against Su Mingrun?"

"If we analyze it carefully, Su Mingrun and Tang Jie work well together in the planning department, and they can be described as wonderful."

"Clearing the accumulated debts was originally a big problem. Tang Zifang was determined with an iron fist and steely bones, but he didn't understand economics. Su Mingrun gathered the elites of calculation and introduced new accounting methods to make it feasible."

"Clearing up the accumulated debts is done with great fanfare on the surface, but in fact it is gentle and drizzle. Now, more than 80% of the accounts of various supervisory departments, restaurants, factories, and warehouses in Bianjing City have been sorted out. What kind of ability is this?"

"As a father, if you ask yourself if you don't have the ability, there is no other way but to give up your car and protect your commander."

After speaking, he clicked the money clip on the table: "But Su Mingrun can handle everything. Without this bank and the treasure banknotes coming out in time, how could the matter be solved so smoothly?"

"According to our previous deductions, after the official salary reform, there will definitely be a backlog of goods in the official treasury, treasures and banknotes will have no face value, trade will be difficult, and the capital will definitely encounter a financial crisis."

"The key is that when a bank is newly established, it is difficult to have credit and win the trust of merchants."

"Sure enough, before the treasure banknotes were issued, there was a salt crisis in March."

"How clever is the plan? How clever is the timing? If the Duke hadn't been so gloomy these days, I would have suspected that this was a deliberate act staged by the Tian family in order to increase the credibility of the bank's treasure!"

"Looking back now, within a few months, the Planning Department cleared the accumulated debts, established a bank, issued treasure banknotes, restructured salaries, unified measurement, inventory inventory, and developed new products... any of these things individually would be difficult, but

They do many things at the same time, and each one is closely linked to the other. They complement each other and benefit both the government and the people."

"Xiao'er, you only see that Su Mingrun is willing to spend every penny, but you don't know that this kind of care is the best in the world! To handle the matter so thoughtfully, it took more than ten years from the local government to the government.

The step-by-step practical training would never have been possible without the patient teachings of Zhang Andao and Zhao Yuedao."

"Under the training of the Second Master, Su Mingrun has a broad vision and far-reaching intentions. And his nature allows him to operate carefully, be down-to-earth, and think about Zhou Xiang. That's why he has the merits of today's planning department."

"The most valuable thing is that Su Mingrun is willing to stay behind the scenes, retreat humbly, and use his extraordinary abilities only to assist his superiors and fill in the gaps."

"Only in this way can we harmonize the minds of all parties, unify Ji Si's people, and make the atmosphere clear, so that a man like Tang Zifang, who has no economic knowledge at all, can receive this great merit."
