The first thousand and six hundred and five chapters are all the blessings
When it comes to currency, Mr. Cai can't calm down. You must know that his original reform was to die on currency. He was the person who carried out the most currency reforms in the Song Dynasty, and was also the person who failed most completely, but he cannot be held responsible.
The blame was entirely on him. There was really no way to do it at the time. A large amount of money flowed out, which caused a shortage of money in the Song Dynasty. He could only sell shoddy goods. Because of this, the people had an extreme lack of trust in money. At that time, copperware
The sales were good, so people began to melt coins and cast copper.~~~~
Things are different now. Now that the economy is developed, there is a need for currency on the market. The value of this currency is soaring and cannot stop. If currency is not issued anymore, the value of this currency may far exceed its own value. This is
This is not good news for the entire economic system, which may collapse at any time.
Cai Jing looked solemn and said: "This is the first time the emperor has issued currency since he came to the throne. There can't be any mistakes!"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Grand Master, you can rest assured. In fact, the imperial court has been preparing to mint coins since the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne. It has been revised and revised, and pushed and pushed. Now the market is very eager for the imperial court.
New coins were issued, so merchants sold their coppers to the court in the hope that the court would issue more coins."
Wang Zhongling said: "No wonder I see that there are fewer and fewer bronzes on the market. They were all taken away by the imperial court."
Li Qidao: "There is no way to do this. The expansion of goods must be channeled with currency, otherwise the goods will become more and more heavy and may be damaged in their hands. Those merchants are eager to see through them."
Bai Qiannuo said: "Actually, the issuance of currency this time is only secondary. The key lies in the money notes."
Cai Jing and others had also heard about the money ticket, and said: "The people were in dire straits when Jiaozi was in trouble and the people were in dire straits. I was also very worried about whether this money ticket could win the trust of the people."
Li Qi sighed: "But there is no way. Now the economy of the Song Dynasty is so good that we have to recover Jiaozhi and Dali. Otherwise, the currency may be even more scarce. However, it is not enough to rely on coinage to maintain it, because copper-cast currency will
It wears slowly, and the speed of wear depends on how much it is used. This kind of wear is an unstoppable loss. You can only stop the speed of wear. If the court can issue money notes strictly according to the storage capacity of copper, then it will not
When a Jiaozi crisis occurs, this unnecessary loss can be reduced very well."
Speaking of the oxidation of copper, Cai Jing added: "Actually, I have always thought that it is good to use gold and silver to make currency, because gold and silver are difficult to wear. I remember I told you before, but you think the value of copper is the source
Compared with the role of copper itself, gold and silver have relatively little role, but now the value of currency has been fully reflected. The connection with copper itself has gradually diminished, and I think gold and silver can be used to replace copper."
Copper is currency because copper is closely related to people's lives today. Copper utensils and weapons made of copper can reflect the value of copper. Therefore, copper naturally becomes currency, and the value of currency has always followed.
The value of currency has changed due to the value of copper. But it is different now. The value of currency has exceeded the value of copper. It can be seen from this that the value of currency does not mainly come from copper, but is affected by the entire market economy. Then you take other
It is not unfeasible to replace the copper currency.
Li Qi hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Grand Master is right. This is indeed a good opportunity. However, our Song Dynasty is a big copper-producing country, and gold and silver are somewhat dwarfed by them. However, there are many countries rich in gold.
Silver resources, if the nature of currency is changed, then the value of gold and silver will definitely rise sharply, which is equivalent to handing over wealth to others. It is not the time yet, and this change must come slowly."
"Yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too!" Cai Jing sighed helplessly and said, "What about this money ticket? Are you sure about it?"
Li Qi told Cai Jing and others about joint distribution again.
Cai Jing nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said in approval: "Yes, yes, this is really a good idea. I will definitely support you strongly. You have disturbed our Song Dynasty for decades with this currency. If you can solve this stubborn problem, our Song Dynasty will definitely be able to do it again."
Go up a floor."
Li Qi just smiled softly and said: "This is not something that happens overnight. You can't rush it. Take your time."
Cai Jing smiled and said: "If you think so, then I am completely relieved. I was too radical at the beginning, which caused me to get out of control. Later, I couldn't save it even if I tried to save it. At the beginning, the people called me a minister who was causing trouble to the country. I said so
I don’t admit defeat, but I have already admitted it in my heart.”
If Song Huizong was in power, he would definitely not say this, because as long as Song Huizong is here, he may make a comeback. Now that Zhao Kai is in power, he knows that there is absolutely no hope for him, so he is outspoken about the mistakes he put down at the beginning.
.
Li Qi was very grateful. He understood that Cai Jing said this and just hoped that he would not make the same mistake. But he just had to understand the matter in his heart and don't go into it any further. It wouldn't change anything anyway. He changed the subject and said: "Yes.
I wonder how the Taishi Academy is doing now?"
Cai Jing looked at Wang Zhongling and exclaimed: "You have to ask Zhongling about this. He and Sui'er are basically taking care of the affairs of the college now."
Wang Zhongling shook his head and said: "I originally thought that being a deputy dean, no matter how hard and tiring it is, is just a small thing. It can't be more tiring than the minister of the Ministry of Industry..."
Li Qi interjected: "Then why did Uncle Wang refuse in every possible way?"
Wang Zhongling said: "I was afraid of danger - you are trying to trick me again."
Li Qi chuckled and did not answer this question.
"I didn't refuse in every possible way." Wang Zhongling muttered, and then said: "You don't know, it is difficult for me to go home now. I have spent half the night in the college this month."
"Such an exaggeration." Li Qi didn't believe it: "Is Uncle Wang obsessed with learning, so he went to the academy to spend the night."
"Don't you think I can't read when I get home?" Wang Zhongling snorted and said, "If you were obsessed with learning, you wouldn't feel tired. I don't have the energy to do that now. It's all thanks to you."
"Thanks to me?"
"Isn't it you?" Wang Zhongling began to settle the account with Li Qi, and said: "It was you who made the emperor decide on some ideological reform in the end. You could just throw your hands away and don't care about anything. It's all Cai and I."
Second, although this ideological reform cannot be rushed, the ideological reform will ultimately be reflected in the scientific examination, and the scientific examination determines the teaching materials. So we must first produce the teaching materials. This is not an easy task.
, I have to delete some content from the original textbook and add some new content, and these contents are all brand new."
Li Qidao: "Isn't it that the Hanlin Academy is also making preparations?"
Wang Zhongling hummed: "One more Hanlin Academy is not too much."
Li Qi wowed and said, "Real or false."
"I lied to you and you will die a good death." Wang Zhongling said this. It was obvious that he was full of resentment. He originally thought that no matter how dangerous it was, he would help Li Qi. Now that they are familiar with each other, everything can be negotiated. As long as Li Qi
It's strange. It wouldn't be a big deal, but I didn't expect that when I took office, the emperor had given the task first. This is a different matter. Whoever dares to neglect the emperor's orders will not only force himself to death, but
He continued: "Now the emperor has decided to add two subjects to this year's scientific examination, one is about farmland and the other is about rivers."
Li Qi snorted and said, "I haven't heard of that."
Bai Qiannuo said: "It was the order issued by the emperor at the end of last year, and he also handed over this task to Uncle Wang through me. Because Uncle Wang once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is familiar with farmland and rivers."
Li Qi frowned and said, "But this is too urgent. Can the candidates bear it?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "These two subjects are calculated separately. Didn't the emperor set a benchmark at the beginning? Should we divide basic knowledge and professional knowledge? These two subjects were used by the emperor to test the waters, which means that the original scientific examination
The content remains unchanged. However, if some candidates meet certain requirements on the original content, and these two subjects are particularly outstanding, they will be eligible for special promotion and be directly awarded Jinshi."
Cai Jing added: "The emperor first chose these two subjects for a purpose. This disaster can also be divided into natural disasters and disasters. Now that the country is at peace, the disasters have been reduced to the minimum. If you want to prepare for a rainy day, you should focus on natural disasters.
, rivers and farmland are the most feared natural disasters, so the emperor is so eager to add these two subjects to the scientific examination."
"That's it." Li Qi turned his worries into joy and said: "If that's the case, it would be much better. In the future, we will slowly increase the number according to this model. As long as there are no big mistakes, I think the scientific examination reform can go very smoothly.
Complete transformation."
Wang Zhongling said: "What you said is very light. The management of rivers and farmland was not a subject at all in the past. The scientific examination did not test these at all. Usually, you would slowly explore it after taking office, or ask others for their experience.
Now we have to bring these experiences together to form a discipline. This is not a simple matter, and it may lead to serious problems."
Li Qi said suspiciously: "It's not that serious."
Wang Zhongling said angrily: "Take this river as an example. Managing rivers is very complicated. The situations are different, and the methods of management are also different. If it is a subject, it should consider everything, in case students learn what is in the books
Knowledge, but when it comes to actual implementation, if they use it improperly, the flood will not give them a chance to make up for it. The loss will be unpredictable at all. "
Li Qi sweated when he heard this. This is really the case. This kind of knowledge is directly related to human life, so he has to be cautious. He cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work. I still have some high-quality ones here."
Ginseng, you can take it back later to stew chicken and eat it to replenish your body."
Although Wang Zhongling had selfish motives when he took office at Taishi College, in the final analysis, he was still helping Li Qi because he had to carry out the cultural reform according to Li Qi's situation.
Wang Zhongling said: "Whether you mean it politely or not, I take it seriously. You should be more prepared."
Damn it, you old guy, when have you ever been so polite? When Zuixianju just started, you came here every day to have Overlord meals. Even if you came alone, you brought a bunch of people with you. Li Qi nodded.
: "Definitely, definitely, Taishi, Taiwei ---."
Gao Qiu chuckled: "We don't need it anymore. Please prepare more for Zhong Ling. He has worked really hard."
Who is he, Tangtang Qiu brother? He is wealthy and wants nothing, let alone Cai Jing. The rare treasures of the Cai family are countless!
As for Bai Shizhong, he is a family member and he can just take it by himself. It has always been like this anyway.
Li Qi saw that he had spit out so much ginseng after not talking for a while. He wanted to continue talking, but that was okay. He was determined not to give Wang Zhongling a chance to pour out his bitterness. This fat man was not a good person either. He typically walked around without finishing his meal.
He hurriedly followed Gao Qiu's words and said, "By the way, Taiwei, how was your Cuju competition?"
Gao Qiu smiled and said: "You planned this Cuju competition. Don't you know how far it can develop? I'm just Xiao Gui and Cao Sui."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "It seems to be very successful."
Gao Qiu nodded and said: "This has a lot to do with the reform. When the people get rich, the Cuju competition will be better and better. After Hangzhou, I went to Fuzhou again, and then to Jiaozhi County. I will take care of this."
Let the people below do it."
You are smart. You go to good places like Hangzhou by yourself. When it is Lingnan's turn, let the people below go. Li Qi felt very contemptuous in his heart, but he said: "That's it, that's it, you need to cultivate it."
The people below are always supported by you, Lieutenant, how tiring it is."
Who is Brother Qiu? He is as good as a ball. Gao Qiu smiled and said, "I learned this from you."
This sentence pushed Li Qi to the south wall, and he thought to himself, these old guys are so cunning, they can't bear any loss. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, I was really sorry for the yameni trouble last time, I'm sorry
I really didn’t know anything about it beforehand.”
Gao Qiu said very cheerfully: "Of course I understand this, but not only do I not object, but I also applaud him. That scoundrel should teach him a lesson, otherwise he will not know how high the sky is. I still think Dali Temple's sentence is too light."
"
Sweat! When did Brother Qiu become so reasonable? I remember that day he still blamed me a little. Oh, I understand. The emperor must have sent someone to explain it to him. Well, it must be like this. The most valuable thing these days
The favor is not the favor of the emperor. In just a moment, Li Qi figured it all out.
Gao Qiu glanced at Li Qi, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, the evil boy was originally going to send you an invitation letter, but I didn't allow him to leave the house, so he had to ask me
Come give it to you."
Invitation letter? Li Qi immediately said: "Yamen is taking a concubine again? Wow, this is really fast."
Gao Qiu's face turned red. You really don't care about anything. He said in a low voice: "Who dares to do this at this time? If he dares to do this, I will have to break his legs." After a pause,
He added: "Actually, this matter has a lot to do with you. It is about the Legend of the Condor Heroes. The Legend of the Condor Heroes will be performed the night after tomorrow."
"Nani!"
