Eight hundred and fifty-ninth chapter Qingzhao letter
This guy must have fallen in love with me, he has to get involved in no matter what! Li Qi feels a headache when he sees Cai You now. This guy has no ability, but he stands up from time to time and makes people heartbroken.
It's really annoying.
Song Huizong said: "Why does Aiqing say that?"
Cai You said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I, Chao Jiaozi, are here for flying money, which is even more convenient than flying money. Why bother to spend effort to get flying money? Besides, if you want to popularize flying money, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, isn't it?
It’s unnecessary.”
The three giants of the three divisions also stood up and agreed with Cai You's words. Although Jiaozi is now in name only, the court can still make some extra money. It is conceivable that once flying money appears again, it will undoubtedly exacerbate Jiaozi's fall.
This is what Sansi doesn't want to see.
Song Huizong nodded again and said: "What you said makes sense."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "It seems that the British Lord is a loyal supporter of Jiaozi. How about this? I still have a few boxes of Jiaozi under my bed. According to the ratio of face value three to one, how about I exchange it with you for copper coins?"
Cai You was stunned and said: "This---."
Nowadays, all fools know that in this kind of exchange, the copper coins will suffer a big loss.
You'd better go back and study for a few more years before coming back. I'm afraid my wife is much better than you. Li Qi smiled, glanced at the ministers and said: "Everyone has seen it. The British Duke's hesitation is a good illustration of the value of Jiaozi."
.Three to one, three to one, he refused to change, which shows what kind of situation Jiaozi is in now."
As he spoke, he suddenly clasped his fists towards Song Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, I want to sue Jiaozi for causing humiliation to the Song Dynasty."
"Sue a lawsuit against Jiaozi?"
Song Huizong was a little confused when he heard this. You had sued Copper Coin before, and now you are suing Jiaozi. Your sincerity is just because you can't get along with Qian! He said: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, in the business world, if you want to continue this business for a long time, integrity is essential. If a businessman loses this integrity, then he has lost everything, and it takes a lot of time to establish this integrity."
It took a long time, but if you want to destroy it, you can only destroy it in the blink of an eye. It can be said that this Jiaozi was sold to the people by the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it is a business, but now the people can only buy Jiaozi with copper coins.
Jiaozi cannot be exchanged for copper coins. People can only pay but not receive income. This is contrary to the original intention of Jiaozi when it appeared. As you can imagine, when people hold Jiaozi in their hands, they cannot buy goods, or they can only
Being able to purchase goods whose value is completely different from Jiaozi, needless to say, they must be scolding the sellers who sold Jiaozi to them. Who is this seller? It is the imperial court. Nowadays, every time a Jiaozi flows into the private sector, the reputation of the imperial court will be lost.
Minus one point. This is really deceiving the emperor and ignoring the emperor. I request the emperor to put Jiaozi to death immediately."
Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "You are really going to give me a difficult problem. Isn't this Jiaozi just a piece of paper, how can I be executed?"
Li Qidao: "It's very simple, just stop issuing Jiaozi immediately."
Song Huizong seemed a little hesitant, so he asked: "What do you think, dear friends?"
Cai Jingdao: "Your Majesty, I think this is the only way to go based on the current situation. I discussed with the economic envoy yesterday and felt that the people's trust in the imperial court has been greatly reduced, which is extremely detrimental to the imperial court, so
, the court should take this matter seriously and re-establish mutual trust with the people. Originally, the best solution was to start the exchange of Jiaozi and copper coins, but the court simply could not come up with so many copper coins. Since the best solution would not work,
, then why not cut through the mess quickly and try to avoid the court’s reputation being tarnished. As the saying goes, if you continue to cut off, you will suffer the chaos."
Li Qi struck while the iron was hot: "Nowadays, the common people have lost trust in Jiaozi. Even if the court issues more Jiaozi, the wealth gained will be almost negligible. But this flying money is different. Weichen can guarantee that once flying money
Reappearing will not only establish good reputation for the court, but also bring valuable wealth to the court."
The combined swords of Cai Jing and Li Qi have always been invincible, and others can only fall behind. Its power can be imagined. Song Huizong began to be tempted and said: "Where does this valuable wealth come from?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Just like the case just now, the money owner just wanted to bring money to do business, which is normal, but he first had to pay a large amount of freight and bear a risk.
After calculating the expenses, the cost of this transaction has greatly increased, and it is still unavoidable. You know, he only has four boxes of copper coins. If it is forty boxes, or even four hundred boxes, and the distance is tens of millions
, then just the shipping fee is a prohibitive figure. However, once the flying money is used, the merchant can reduce an expensive shipping fee, but then again, the flying money is equivalent to the court helping the merchants
The court should charge a considerable fee for transporting coins. As long as the handling fee is much lower than the freight, then the merchants will not bother to transport the coins themselves. But the court does not need to actually transport the coins, so this fee,
It can be said that just sit back and reap the benefits, get something for nothing, why not do it. Moreover, once Feiqian's reputation is established, the court only needs to make a few changes. Today's Feiqian will be tomorrow's Jiaozi, and it has a good reputation.
A trustworthy friend, I can count on you, and I really can't think of any reason why the imperial court shouldn't do this deal."
Cai Jing added: "Once flying money is used, it will be equivalent to merchants depositing money into the court. In this way, the court will obtain enough liquid currency, and the court will be able to handle many things with ease."
Zhao Huan, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others immediately stood up to second the proposal. Jiang Daoyan from the Yushitai over there and other officials also stood up and agreed. The three giants of the Third Division are now eager to make money, and they all
He was not stupid, and he was quite sensitive about money. Seeing that the benefits brought by this flying money were so huge, he quickly changed his tone and seconded Li Qi's words.
Song Huizong had already been tempted, and seeing that all the ministers agreed with Cai Jing, Li Qi said, "Okay. Since all the dear ministers agree with this move, I will proceed."
Cai Jing added: "Nowadays, the people in Jiangnan seriously lack trust in various government agencies. If the imperial court wants to popularize Feiqian, it should set up Feiqian bureaus in various places specifically for this purpose. However, the Commerce Bureau has a good impression in the hearts of the people, so the veteran suggested that Feiqian be
Feiqian Bureau is planned to be under the Commerce Bureau, and it is jointly managed by the three departments and the Commerce Bureau."
He knew the art of the emperor very well. If he directly gave the Commerce Bureau full authority, it would be equivalent to increasing the status and power of the Commerce Bureau. In this way, other ministers would definitely be very jealous, especially the Third Division. Therefore, he simply reported it directly to the Third Division.
Jointly managed with the Commerce Bureau.
Song Huizong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's do this. Since Cai Aiqing proposed the flying money, let it be handed over to Cai Aiqing. In addition, the Commerce Bureau and the Third Division will jointly assist the Grand Master in handling this matter."
"I obey my orders."
...
After the morning court ended, Cai You was the first to walk out of the hall. After spending a long time, he had nothing to do with the Privy Council. This Privy Council was really boring.
"Li Qi, this plan is really clever! Haha, you can actually think of using the copper coins to sue to attract flying money. It's interesting, interesting." Cai Jing returned home victorious and in a good mood.
Li Qi smiled and said: "No, no, these trivial skills are of no consequence. But the Grand Master's remarks were so sharp that others could not refute them."
Cai Jing laughed, then calmed down and said: "Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other, so as not to make Sui'er laugh."
Cai Sui hurriedly said: "Dad is out of town. Daddy and Li Qi cooperated and won every battle. As a son, I am also very happy. How can it be a joke?"
Cai Jing nodded and said: "What Sui'er said is true. I cooperate with you and I really have a perfect tacit understanding. It's so late to meet each other. Haha." After a pause, he continued: "Let's do it tomorrow. Go to the Commerce Bureau and make an appointment with someone from the Third Division. Let’s discuss how to promote this flying money. This thing sounds simple, but it’s not easy to do it.”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements later."
Cai Jing added: "By the way, I'm going to send someone to Jiangnan to open a school of economics soon. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the college has not been built, we should focus on publicity. It just so happens that I plan to open a column for the new law, which will be published in the name of Song Dynasty Weekly. There are about thirty pieces of paper. I plan to find someone to conduct an exclusive interview with the Grand Master."
"Exclusive interview?"
Li Qi explained: "It means a visit. The grand master can share some insights on the new law, the reasons why the grand master wants to implement the new law, and what benefits the new law will bring to the people. Then record these words in The case will be published in a column. I plan to print a total of 100,000 copies of this column, divided into three batches, and send them to all parts of the country."
Cai Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "That's good to pay attention to." He knew very well that Li Qi asked him for an exclusive interview to help enhance his reputation, so how could he refuse.
This veteran's reaction is really fast! Li Qi joked: "I wonder when the Grand Master will be free?"
Cai Jing blurted out: "I'm free at any time." But as soon as the words came out, he reacted and frowned: "You kid is teasing me again."
Li Qi said hey: "How dare you, how dare you."
Cai Jing glared at him slightly and said, "But, should you ask the Emperor to see if he is interested in it?"
Yes, the emperor likes to be in the spotlight. If it weren't for him, he might have given me some shoes. Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "Yes. I remember."
.......
After coming out of the palace, Li Qi went back to Qin Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Aunt Chen came up to her and said, "Sir, I just received a letter from Mrs. Zhao."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Mrs. Zhao? Which Mrs. Zhao?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly said with joy: "But my sister Qingzhao?"
Aunt Chen nodded hurriedly.
"Where is the letter?"
"Oh, it's in the front hall---."
Li Qi didn't wait for her to finish her words, and hurriedly walked towards the front hall. He saw Mrs. Qin sitting on the chair and asked hurriedly: "Madam, where is the letter from sister Qingzhao?"
Mrs. Qin nodded.
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Can you show it to me?"
Mrs. Qin pointed her hand to the right and said, "Why do you ask me? The letter is still on him." There was a trace of complaint in her voice.
Li Qi turned around and saw a man in his twenties, saying, "Who are you?"
The man stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am a soldier of Zhao Zhizhou, and I have been ordered to deliver a letter here. My wife has said that this letter must be delivered to the economic envoy in person."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi chuckled and sneered at Madam Qin: "No wonder madam can't see the letter, I am not for you, I am wasting my expression. It seems that madam's relationship with sister Qingzhao is very ordinary, not as good as mine." "
Mrs. Qin frowned and became speechless. She didn't understand why Li Qingzhao wrote to Li Qi but not to her. She felt depressed.
Li Qi made a joke, then quickly extended his hand to the man and said, "Hurry up and give me sister Qingzhao's letter."
When the man saw that Li Qi was wearing an official uniform and had a waistband, he had no doubts and quickly took out the letter and handed it over.
Li Qi received the letter and hurriedly opened it, but the further he looked down, the more solemn his face became, and the proud look just now disappeared. Mrs. Qin saw that his face was not good, so she hurriedly asked: "Li Qi What did sister say in the letter?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, put down the letter, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Oh, it's nothing serious. Sister Qingzhao just said that she misses me so much and hopes to come to Beijing soon. That's all. It has nothing to do with Madam."
