Another four or five days passed, during which there were morning meetings and memorials, but no one mentioned the cement matter.
Zhao Xi was a little strange, even his father was a little anxious. Zhao Zhen didn't want to keep nearly a million soldiers and civilians relying on the water transportation of the Bianhe River.
Is it possible that the husband has seen through his trick? The problem is, Zhao Xi doesn’t think that seeing through will affect their investment. Why is the current situation happening?
"Your Highness, the new currency has been exchanged for the old currency, one for two."
Although Qianjian was completed, the imperial court also provided copper ore, and even manganese ore has been shipped there, and it has even started operation in Dongchuan.
But His Highness the Prince has never allowed the money supervisor to operate normally, and even suppresses the production of new coins.
No, the new coins are already one to two, and they are still the old coins of copper six.
Hearing what Su Song said, Zhao Xi understood. It turned out that he thought cement was slow to make money, but speculating on new coins made money faster.
Anyway, I really can’t blame you for this.
"After ordering Professor Lu to postpone his return to Beijing, the escort battalion sent a force of soldiers to Chengdu Road, where he trained 10,000 troops from Chengdu Road and established a Yangtze River shipping and land transportation team across the Shu Road to Guanzhong."
"After the Yangtze River shipping reaches Jingchu South Road, it turns northwest and takes the Han River, and then uses both water and land. For transportation on the Shu Road, Yunnan horses are mainly used. All copper ore transportation avoids water transportation lines."
"I will prepare all the regulations tomorrow, carry them with the soldiers of the west guard camp, and deliver them to Instructor Lu. The training of the Xiang army shall be subject to the regulations."
"I don't care about the process. I'll tell Professor Lu that after March, or at least three months later, I need a large amount of copper, iron ore and white lead to come to Beijing."
"In addition, Professor Su, be sure to inform Guangnan that the demand for manganese ore must be guaranteed! And try not to use the imperial water transport for transportation, and all transportation will be in the name of merchants."
"Use all the money and food obtained from exchanging new coins in the near future to ensure that the raw materials for minting five million new coins are ready after March."
"Ming Zhong, you need to work overtime to complete the construction of the copper and iron furnace within three months. Even if the reward is increased, you must complete it."
The power to dispose of the Xiang army lies with the local government. The solution to the problem of 10,000 Xiang troops does not need to be burdened by the imperial court. The imperial court must be very happy, and it must be regarded as Lu Gongbi's contribution to the Chengdu Prefecture.
Zhao Xi originally wanted to report to the court together with the track construction soldiers and road protection soldiers.
Now!
Zhao Xi is really angry. Ming Lu pointed it out, but he refused to leave. He just likes to hit the wall with his eyes closed in the dead end. It doesn't matter, I just want to let you know the pain.
The new coins are still the same as before, and new and old coins are distributed as usual every month. Although the amount is small in the various states of the country, they will still match some of the new coins.
The overall amount is equivalent to the copper ingots provided by the imperial court. In other words, the imperial court has a good understanding of the number of coins minted by the Bianliang Qianjian.
To be honest, with this minting situation, it is impossible for new coins to return to their so-called value within three to five years... These are the words of His Highness the Prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince said that the value of coins is the face value, which is given by the imperial court. The imperial court should have the final say on whether it is high or low.
This is not the case now. In the entire country and in the many states, counties and counties in the world, it should be said that there is no place where it is what His Highness the Prince said... one new coin is one penny.
It is what His Highness the Prince said was the benchmark for new coins... the same goes for grain. The old coin was thirty cents, while the new coin is fifteen cents or even ten cents per dou.
Even those grain merchants feel that speculating on new coins should make money quickly.
Except for those pure commoners, everyone with a little bit of ability is paying attention to the new currency.
When I went to Fanlou at this time, the most discussed topic was definitely the new coins, which were more attractive than those top-notch young ladies.
If the new coins had just appeared, exchanging four copper coins for three new copper coins would still be regarded as a novelty.
But just because of the beginning of this novel exchange, after nearly half a year of market verification, more and more new coins appeared, which not only did not make this exchange trend decline, but intensified.
Because, compared with the old coins of the dynasty, the appearance, hardness, color, texture, and storage and anti-counterfeiting functions of the new coins are far better than any version of the old coins. Even if they are placed underground, they will be dug out again.
It needs to be rinsed with water and it will still be as bright as new.
There are actually people who have tried this, and there is more than one person.
Therefore, this caused those wealthy landlords who had stored a lot of copper coins to rush to buy new coins.
Originally, the officials of the country and the DPRK still treated it as pennies, but as time went by, the new currency rose higher and higher, almost to the point where it had a price but no market.
From the news coming from the generals and the political hall, everyone knows the circulation of new coins... If you want to replace the old coins of the country, it will be difficult to achieve within three to five years.
Nowadays, the state mints two to three million guan of coins every year. Apart from losses, dispersion to foreign countries, and ordinary people's possession, there must be 4 to 5 million guan of old coins left in the world.
To achieve what His Royal Highness the Prince said, every article is an article, how easy is it?
No, the imperial court seems to be aware of this situation... This month, the issuance of silver and gold coins has significantly increased, and there is even an intention to exchange the new copper coins back.
Unfortunately, when gold and silver coins appeared, a lot of copper coins also appeared...
Don't think that the market only likes copper coins. As long as they are new coins, no matter gold, silver or copper, they will be snatched up.
"Your Majesty, all ministers, the current trend of exchanging new coins is fierce, and it has reached the level of one to three or four. I sincerely request the imperial court to widely publicize the new coin casting recipe so that all the nine money prisons in the country can mint coins.
To alleviate the chaos caused by the money shortage in the country."
Someone can't hold it in any longer. Is this the spokesperson of Supervisor Qian?
"That's pure nonsense! What is the money shortage? The imperial court did not recycle the old coins. Now old and new coins are circulating equally. In fact, the number of coins has increased. Where did the money shortage you mentioned come from?"
Well, this should be the owner with a lot of new coins.
In the entire dynasty, there were people who were really members of the imperial court, such as Bao Heizi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Zeng Gongliang and others, who could be considered half of them.
To get to the point of being in charge, most people's conduct is still passable.
Just like Lao Bao, Zhao Xi heard that in order to save money, this old boy spent all his new money on daily necessities.
But now that they were talking nonsense, Zhao Xi had to consider their position.
That's fine. You don't have to say anything. You've already reached the point. You just need to watch the show.
"There is a shortage of new currency. If this continues, it will inevitably damage the foundation of the country. People will be displaced because they have no money to use, leading to people's livelihood."
Alarmists just talk nonsense without stating their purpose.
"That's nonsense! Have people ever participated in the current trend of exchanging old and new currency? Is thirty cents per meter any different from before the issuance of the new currency?"
It makes sense, this is a fact. Judging from His Highness the Prince's statement that coins are linked to grain, grain has not risen and it will not hurt farmers.
"Since the country wants to introduce new coins, why not make all nine money supervisors mint coins?"
"The Qin Emperor unified the country and even issued a unified currency. I think everyone knows the reason why the nine money supervisors of the country minted coins. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has established a copper mine in Dali, the country no longer has to worry about a shortage of copper, and only needs to
The ore is mined and transported by water, and it can reach Bianliang in a few days..."
The others stopped listening. At first, Zhao Xi thought he was a sensible person, but when he heard what happened later...it turned out that he was from a water transport standpoint.
