The position of Water Transport should be the most politically intelligent. In addition to the obvious denial of the supervision of the money produced by the Nine Bureaus, everything else was taken into consideration.
Even Zhao Xi seemed to be leaning toward him at first.
As for those who have received new coins... It is already early winter, and water transportation will obviously have to be suspended. In other words, they have been given nearly half a year.
Everyone seems to know the number of new coins minted, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is setting up such a big show by the Huimin River.
Just looking at the land that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now encloses, it feels like building a new city. But everyone has been making coins for many years, and the basic output is clear.
The total amount of money produced by the nine money supervisors in the country in a year is only two to three million coins. How many new money supervisors can there be? What's more, the number of money supervisor craftsmen recruited by the guard camp is even greater than in the early days of the country.
The number of the four major money supervisors is smaller...he can't make many new coins.
There are fixed procedures for minting coins, from molding, minting, polishing, etc., every one of them is indispensable. With the level of sophistication of new coins... everyone is confident.
Everyone has their own ideas, and the result of the debate is... to maintain the status quo. There is no way. Those who own and acquire new coins account for the majority in the entire court. Regardless of whether they have sufficient reasons, they cannot handle the huge group base.
From the beginning to the end, the princes did not get involved. They just watched each one yelling and looking at His Royal Highness, waiting for him to express his position. They even looked at the officials, hoping to see something fishy.
No, there was no sign of anything, no anger at being yelled at, and no worries at all. It seemed that the father and son were confident...
Zhao Zhen rarely felt confident, especially in such messy situations during court meetings, he would get annoyed most of the time.
Not this time. My son said that even if the formula is handed over to the court and reaches other Qianjian, it will not be able to make new coins like Bianliang Qianjian.
As for the output of Xin Qian Jian, my son said that the total amount of coins produced by the nine Qian Jian of the Guo Dynasty is not as good as that of Bianliang Qian Jian. Even now, Xin Qian Jian can complete the coins of the Guo Dynasty for one year within three months.
the total amount.
What else is there to worry about? Just look at the respective positions of these ministers and workers.
That was it, and it was shelved again.
After a lapse of one and a half months, the exchange of old and new currency was once again discussed in the court.
This time the weight was obviously different. It was jointly raised by the right admonishment officials, Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Bao Zheng Bao Xiren, Third Secretary Envoy Zhang Fangping and Zhang Andao, and Councilor Zeng Gongliang and Zeng Mingzhong during the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, the current trend of exchanging old and new currency has shown signs of being uncontrollable. Even the border settlements and even the shipping department are in chaos due to the exchange of old and new currency. The old minister has asked the court to formulate a strategy to stop the trend of exchange.
.”
"Your Majesty, the country does not seem to be worried about a money shortage, but the trend of exchange will eventually lead to the collapse of the old currency, and the new currency cannot yet meet the expenses. This situation is no different from the money shortage."
"Nowadays, the market has been rejecting old coins, and it is becoming more and more serious. The people do not have new coins. Once the old coins are rejected by merchants, it will inevitably cause the price of goods to rise. The situation has reached an unstoppable state. I sincerely request the court to take some measures.
measure."
"Now, whether the nine money supervisors are minting coins together, or the new money supervisor is increasing the amount of coins, we must not let it go like this."
Is it that serious? No! Zhao Xi has always been paying attention to what is going on in the market. He does not bother Zhao Song, and he understands the market rules better.
Will it evolve to that point? Definitely. This is what Zhao Xi and Zhang Fangping have also discussed.
Half a month ago, the New Money Supervisor's new currency storage capacity had reached 5 million yuan.
Each of the two transportation lines is not enough to ensure the total amount of raw materials for coinage, but they can't stop the supply.
Moreover, after the last court meeting, Zhao Xi asked his father for some people... people from the Imperial City Detective Department. This type of people are distributed in the prefectures and counties of the country, and are unified by Lao Chen Lin
Allocate jurisdiction.
Since that court meeting, the new money supervisor has been working in three shifts, working in the workshop without stopping, and making coins day and night.
At the same time, the guard battalions and detective departments were scattered in the states, counties, and counties of the country, selling new coins, purchasing old coins, and transporting raw materials.
In more than a month, nearly 20,000 to 30,000 people have been serving the entire old and new currency issue.
Old Chen Lin would visit from time to time, and he would take care of his children so that they wouldn't get into trouble with His Highness the Crown Prince's plans.
All along, Lao Chen Lin thought that His Highness the Prince was doing this in order to take advantage of the chaos of old and new coins to earn some money like a courtier.
When the supply of copper mines was in short supply, Chen Lin realized that he was wrong when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince placing the recycled old coins directly in the furnace.
His Royal Highness is planning a big plan.
Indeed, when it comes to making money, I have already made too much money at this time. In less than half a year, I almost earned nearly as much business tax income as Bianliang did in a year...
"Your Highness, can the new money supervisor deal with such a situation?"
This is not an accusation, more like an inquiry.
Fu Bi had been paying attention to this matter. He could not see through it, but he did not lose his integrity because of his wealth, nor did he imitate Bao Xiren to save money and live his life as he should.
When it's time to pay, if you have new currency, use the new currency; if you have old currency, use the old currency.
He could feel that His Highness the Crown Prince was setting up a trap, but he couldn't see who would be buried in this trap. Because he simply could not imagine the coin minting efficiency of the new money supervisor.
The new money supervisor may not be able to achieve the purely mechanized operations of later generations, but compared to the current world, the efficiency has been improved by more than three to five times.
The process of making coins has not changed, what has changed is the production process.
The mother model is not one or two coins, or three or five coin coins, but dozens or hundreds of mother coins.
Su Song, a mechanical expert, gave full play to his talents in coin making.
Let’s not talk about the expansion and improvement of the melting furnace, but let’s talk about the process after melting... First, it is rolled using a roller-style machine, and then it is extruded in two kilograms of manganese steel mother molds...
Zhao Xi didn't understand the steel rolling of later generations, but he was really satisfied with Su Song's ability to achieve this level of craftsmanship.
"Three days... just three days later, all the prefectures, counties and counties of the country will conduct a unified exchange of old and new ones. One-to-one exchange, regardless of merchants, people, officials, monks, Taoists, will be treated equally."
Zhao Xi still couldn't be cruel and finally gave some time to these people in the court.
The pit he dug was not small, and he could bury many people, but he still let go of the courtiers... The purpose was to bring the merchants, and the reason why he took the courtiers with him was a bit out of anger.
But at the last moment, he still let it go.
"Your Highness, this is the court hall!"
Fu Bi may have good intentions, but His Highness the Crown Prince's remarks are too shocking, and he is worried that he is reckless.
"Fu Xiang, Xi knows that this is the court, and has no intention of joking with the princes. The so-called three days is the time for the imperial edict to arrive at the various states. In addition, Xi implores the imperial court to arrive at the state, state, county, and county at the same time.
Release, do not harm the people in remote counties and counties due to unequal information."
