Chapter 413 Gathering (4)
"When Wang Mang usurped the throne, there were many new policies, and the currency system was one of them, and the people of the time called it the treasure system, with six products of spring goods and ten products of treasure goods."
"You should know more about this, so I don't need to go into details......"
Hearing this, Li Po was stunned there, and he was scolding his mother in his heart, no need to elaborate? Do you know that Lao Tzu didn't understand?
He knows who Wang Mang is, except for Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty, the biggest thief.
But Wang Mang's new deal......
Fortunately, there are still smart people in the hall who are willing to take care of the backwards.
Chen Xiaoyi smiled, interjected, and didn't look at Li Po, so he explained directly: "The so-called spring cloth grade, the old man knows something, and I don't know if what he said is right." ”
"Wang Mangquan's money, it should have been divided again, right? The so-called grade, but because of its weight difference, depending on the value, at that time the new deal was messy, the government was out of many doors, and the currency system was also extremely messy, the old man didn't remember it clearly, it seemed that there was a big cloth, worth a thousand Wen, and the circulation was very wide...... The old man had also seen a large piece of cloth in Luoyang, and it was quite laborious to hold it with one hand. ”
Su Yan is young, but it doesn't mean that he is not smart, after a little taste, he has already pondered the taste.
yes, how can you forget about that person when it comes to talking about it here?
So he immediately bowed his hand to Chen Xiaoyi and said: "The county guard is well-informed, and the non-backward people can reach it, as the county guard said, the spring money grade is mixed, and the spring goods are divided into six products, divided into big springs, strong springs, middle springs, young springs, small springs, and ten products of cloth goods, divided into large cloth, secondary cloth, younger cloth, strong cloth, medium cloth, poor cloth, original cloth, young cloth, Xuan cloth, small cloth, which is above the weight, with the plant as the increase or decrease ......"
Li Po is also a very smart person, and his views on things, due to his experience, are not available to people in the world in many cases.
At this time, he almost immediately understood the essence of Wang Mang's new policy about the currency system.
How to say it, no matter what the reputation of this guy Wang Mang is, he classifies the coins into grades, which is a very predictable political move.
This is indeed a good way to increase the circulation of coins, and it also brings great convenience to the matter of barter.
The disadvantage may simply be that it was issued too early, and due to the limitations of the times, the coin does not have such a large circulation, and it is too complicated, and there will be a lot of loopholes.
In particular, the practice of distinguishing the value of coins by weight has made coins lose some of their general equivalents, and instead equate them to a certain extent with goods.
Coins that could be bought and sold, in the Han Dynasty...... Haha, it should be a very unfunny joke.
Otherwise, if you are half a step ahead of your contemporaries, you will be called a genius, and if you are too far ahead, everyone will call you crazy.
This kind of move is crazy in Li Po's opinion.
Because he has only seen a few currencies in Sui over the years, except for the five baht of Kaihuang, it is the white money of Daye, which is actually five baht money, which is only different from the name of Kaihuang five baht, but it is essentially the same.
There is some silver in circulation, and he has seen gold, but neither gold nor silver can compare with copper coins.
Li Po didn't think that Emperor Sui and his courtiers were too stupid, and only recognized five baht coins to mint.
Wang Mang, who made so many styles of coins, how can he say that he can't have the same origin as him, right?
Of course, thinking of this, there is no need for Su Yan to say anything, Li Po has suddenly become enlightened, there are too many things these days, and he only thinks about following in the footsteps of the "ancients", and he forgets to find another way, and he can still reach the end.
It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't.
How simple is it to increase the value of the currency to alleviate the shortage of coins?
What to use to increase the value of the currency? It's also very simple......
Li Po thought about it, and didn't rush to interrupt Su Yan's speech, in his mind, the Su family was indeed worthy of being the big steward of the Great Sui in charge of the money bag, although he didn't bring forth the new and come up with any amazing theories, but his ability in the matter of the branch was unquestionable.
Now there will be more and more things about wealth in the two states, Wang Qing and Wen Yanbo have their own shortcomings, and he really needs such an expert to be in charge of the money bag.
Su Jian explained the essence of Wang Mang's new policy, and his confidence kept passing, in fact, the reason why he was reluctant to talk about Wang Mang's new policy in detail also had his own considerations, because Wang Mang, that is not a virtuous guy, and he has been criticized by the people of the world for hundreds of years.
Most people don't call it Wang Mang's new policy, but Wang Mang's chaotic government.
and the reputation of another hero, Cao Mengde, can't be compared at all.
Using his measures to solve the urgent needs of the two states is to send the handle to others, and it is not too easy to refute it.
The more you talk about the things of Wang Mang's time, no matter what you propose later, the main idea will already be wrong.
Seeing that Li Po lowered his head and was silent, he was also a little anxious, and secretly gritted his teeth, and said directly: "According to the lower officials, it is better to imitate the countries of the Western Regions, and make up for the shortcomings of copper coins with gold and silver, without deliberately mining, and the lower officials guess that among the big families in the two states now, there may not be much copper coins, but there must be no shortage of gold and silver......
Li Po finally slapped the table case, and praised it sincerely, "Good way, Yuan Zai's talent, if you don't let your father and ancestors, you will become a great tool in the future." ”
As for when it will be widely circulated, and why the circulation of gold and silver is inconvenient now, Li Po can also think of one or two.
One mining is not much, and the value of the currency cannot be accurately determined, and some people take gold and silver, maybe they will buy and sell.
But now, it's a good way to solve the money shortage.
As long as the value of gold and silver itself can be roughly and accurately pressed into the value of the currency, the current problem can be solved, and even Li Po already wants to make some gold and silver coins, or ingots and the like.
Because in the treasury of the clouds, there are still a large number of gold and silver utensils that have been stolen from the grassland.
The Turks were not very interested in copper coins, but they were very fond of shiny gold and silver, and it was not unreasonable to call them the favorite of the Turkic aristocracy.
Yes, for him, there is no need to say anything big, and there is no shortage of his own gold and silver.
Li Po was very happy, well, this is the first time he has encountered economic problems, and he has thought of something like inflation or deflation, and the degree of attention is inevitably exaggerated.
The problem of the shortage of coins may not be as serious as he thinks, but you will not know until the consequences come out, and then you will find a way to remedy it...... Hehe, isn't it too late to make amends?
Just a sentence, Su Yan's heart returned to his chest with his throat held high, and he jumped very happily.
The room was not too cold, that is, after a few words, Su Yan's back was not only sticky and greasy, but his body was also a little weak.
Because this remark is not only related to his future, but also involves his Su family's voice.
If he can't come up with a good plan, Li Po will be dissatisfied, and the other people present will also despise him, and people will generally think that the descendants of the Su family are nothing more than that.
This is in the category of insulting family reputation, and it is a big mistake for every gate valve child.
And he himself has no bottom in his heart, how much is gold and silver worth to copper coins? Can you go on a big scale in the city? If there is a fallacy, will it be blamed on him if there are many evils in the future?
In fact, at this moment, a big Su character really pressed on Su Yan's body, giving him another heavy burden.
But Li Po doesn't care how heavy the burden is on him, no matter how heavy it is, as long as you have an idea in your heart and want to achieve something, you have to bear it for me.
Just like him, the manager, the things on his back are not half a point lighter than these people, and he himself has not said anything, if you dare to complain, then he, the manager, will not give you good fruit to eat.
Li Po was very simple, and after praising it, he smiled at everyone: "I think it's so good, what else do you have to say?" ”
Others naturally don't say anything, the value of gold and silver is divided, above the circulation, there is nothing, people do not recognize gold and silver, before just because the circulation is too small, ordinary people can't see it, almost become a status symbol.
As for the drawbacks, everyone can think of some of them, but they won't say it at this time, they have to go back and think about it carefully, otherwise, arguing with the Su family's children about the currency system is tantamount to attacking others' strengths with their own shortcomings.
Li Po waited for a while, and when he saw that no one had any objections, he smiled, "The matter is serious, and this matter will be handed over to Yuan Zai, and then write a document...... Besides, the building is too annoying...... Hehe, although Yuan Zai has made many achievements, he is not here, so it is better to go to the governor's mansion and take up a new position. ”
"Lou Fu's position is vacant, Yuan Zai will think about it later, there should be a virtuous person to recommend me, right?"
In just a few words, not to mention Yu Wenxin, even Wen Yanbo's heart jumped a few times with envy, and Wang Qing, who had not spoken much, lowered his head.
He understood that he might have to have a Shangguan.
He is an old man who followed Li Po all the way from Yunnei, and it is said that there is no one here who is more senior than him.
But looking at these characters, he felt a little sour in his heart, but he had to admit that these people have their own talents, not to mention scheming, in comparison, he has been in business for many years.
Wang Qing sighed secretly in his heart, being able to have a place among these people should be enough to comfort his life, right?
Of course, the confusion in his heart now only belongs to the superiors, from a small businessman who is subject to the Wang family and cannot protect his family wealth, can come to this point today, just ask the world, how many people can compare?
The matter was almost over, Li Po really didn't invite everyone to eat in a stingy manner, and everyone dispersed hungry.
Su Yan thought about his mind and walked a few steps, Yu Wenxin had already come to his side, and said, "Thank you Yuanzai, solve my Yanmen urgency, I don't know if Yuanzai has leisure, but you are willing to have a few drinks with me, I also have some things I want to ask Yuanzai for advice." ”
(Monthly pass, monthly pass, Ah Cao thought of such a method, but it is only temporary, don't spray me...... (To be continued.) )
