Chapter 651 Fines Bronze

This is actually an economic problem, stimulating the economy through slow inflation, although the Song people have not done this purposefully and planned, but after the founding of the country for a hundred years, the expansion of the economy will naturally cause this phenomenon.

However, unlike later generations, the difference between the economically developed and backward areas of the Great Song Dynasty was too huge, the transportation was too inconvenient, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the population was too huge.

The inflation brought about by the rapid development of the three major economic zones will greatly increase the cost of production and living in the underdeveloped regions if other backward regions cannot keep up.

The reason is very simple, Su You's current annual salary is about 3 million in the future, and the Lifu at the bottom of the wharf is worth 10,000 yuan in the future after a year's hard work.

If the pork is ten yuan a catty, it is easy to do, if it suddenly rises to forty yuan a catty, it doesn't matter to Su You, and for poor families, you have to weigh and weigh the meat when you buy it.

In the Great Song Dynasty, this is a kind of overriding oppression of small peasant economic areas in the developed areas of commodity economy, and there are many reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, a large amount of silver flowed into the south, causing inflation, and famine together led to the bankruptcy of the north, which is also one of the reasons.

Nowadays, the price of grain and salt varies greatly from place to place, and the funniest thing is that there is an upside-down phenomenon.

It is the most developed areas, such as Bianjing and Zhejiang, where grain prices are equal; In the least developed areas, not only Jinghu, but also border war zones such as Hedong Road, Shaanxi Road, Guangxi, and Guangnan, grain prices are very low; The most expensive grain prices are the sub-developed areas - Jiangdong and Jiangxi.

There is also the special case of Sichuan.

This is a question worth investigating.

Liu Da saw that the officials were stunned there, and he didn't know Su You's thoughts, so he flew to a place outside Kaifeng Mansion a long time ago.

To control prices, Xue Xiang has always insisted on saving the country, and it cannot be said that there is no reason at all.

Thinking of this, Su You couldn't help but secretly take chances, the Great Song Dynasty has always firmly controlled the price of salt, which is the power of macroeconomic control.

Food prices have changed dramatically, but salt prices have remained regionally stable for a considerable period of time, although prices vary from place to place.

For example, Kaifeng Mansion, from the founding of the country to the present, has basically guarded the line of 35 Wen per catty.

In Shuzhong, in the past, it was basically seventy pounds of iron.

Then the issuance of salt banknotes greatly alleviated the economic impact caused by inflation, whether the Song people intentionally or unintentionally, this invisible economic hand has always been a huge force for the stability of the Great Song economy.

Who said the ancients weren't smart?

Until Cai Jing's mallet corrupted the salt government......

The question is, now that I am doing this in the Great Song Dynasty, replacing copper coins with treasure banknotes, striving to move closer to the precious metal standard, and reducing the credit and currency status of salt banknotes, what will be the consequences?

I can't help but sweat when I think of this, I'm afraid there is a problem!

After another thought, what did the Ming and Qing dynasties do? How is the standard system accomplished? Fortunately, there are examples to follow, and it doesn't seem to be as scary as imagined.

The old woman came over with a soup pot: "Today's family is a holiday, but I am a gentleman." ”

No one knew that Su You had experienced a stormy wave in his heart, and Su You smiled: "The old man is polite, it's just a few canned sausages." ”

Sausage sunflower and millet porridge, coarse grain and shepherd's cabbage, plus a plum cabbage button meat, a canned braised beef, and a plate of bacon fried garlic sprouts, for the Liu family, it is really a New Year.

Just about to start the meal, another big man came to the door: "Liu Da, there are guests at home?" ”

Liu Da hurriedly stood up: "Brother Feng, have you eaten?" I didn't eat to add chopsticks. ”

The one named Brother Feng entered the door: "Yo, this is canned meat!" There is a sale in Xiangfu County, and the beef is two hundred wen a piece! ”

After speaking, he smiled at Su You and said: "The villain is the chief of this place, and when he heard that the Liu family had a guest, he came to take a look, which is also a rule set by the official." ”

Su You pulled him to sit down: "Since you are here, let's eat together, I am the son of the person who went to Beijing, and this is my companion, oh, do you want to check the family status of Brother Jiatou?" ”

Brother Feng waved his hand: "No, no, you two canned food, you have been chewing grain for a few days, and you are afraid that you are a little girl?" ”

Saying this, he suddenly got up: "Official, wait......"

After finishing speaking, he went out of the turnstile, and after a while, he took a porcelain jar and came back: "The lady at home made some village brew, and I'm sorry for this dish if I don't have some of it, right?" ”

Wine is indeed not a good wine, similar to the mash of later generations, Brother Feng added it to Su You and Zhang Qi: "Tanhualang got this qu pill is really a good thing, my family is better than Liu, I can afford to eat wheat noodles, and the cooking cakes are now grown, one is as big as the past two." ”

"This year, glutinous rice will rise sharply."

This sudden sentence made Su You a little inexplicable: "Why? ”

Brother Feng said: "There is no glutinous rice in Beijing, the price set by the city, no southern ship is willing to drag glutinous rice over, the village Li Sanjia is working in the city winery, I heard that the winery undertakes the qu work, but can not get rice to make wine, now everyone is selling inventory, the price of wine can not be raised, it is almost unbearable." In Bianjing City next year, hehehe, you can wait for the wine shop......"

After speaking, he raised the wine bowl: "It's a guest from afar, I'll salute Langjun first." This is better in the countryside than in the city, with Tanhualang's Qu Pill, you can get some and drink it quietly, and the official family will not care! ”

Su You was shocked when he heard it, the problem that the chief of the village could see, why was there no movement in the court at all?

Bianjing's winemaking is a big business of more than one million catties a year, and if it really collapses, the impact will be great.

However, his face was as steady as Mount Tai, and he ate and drank with everyone with a smile.

During the banquet, a few people talked a lot, and Brother Feng said: "The imperial grain that should be paid is rising every day, I can still bear it, I said Liu Da, can you have a snack?" This important official suddenly wants to take back the green seedlings, just you, a broken family, I'm afraid that you will be unlucky immediately! ”

Liu Da smiled and said, "Then don't you have to raise your noble hand ...... Brother Feng?"

Brother Feng glared: "What's the matter?!" Still want to hide from military service? I'll tell you, it's your turn this year! It's okay not to serve, just pay an extra money! ”

Liu Da said: "Didn't you pay this exemption money?" ”

Brother Feng himself is not angry, he is a household, and he pays more: "The official said clearly, exemption is exemption, and leniency is leniency, why do you say that I have a joint insurance with a few of your households?" Anyway, now the service money is there every year, and if you don't pay it, you will go to work. ”

"This is the emperor's errand, if you don't do it, or run back to take it, send it to Kaifeng Mansion to finish playing the board, and send the tattoo to Shaanxi!"

This is pure nonsense to scare people, Su You hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Feng, you dissipate your anger, just an honest bastard like Brother Liu, if you go to the service, you will only be bullied." ”

"What is the quota for the Liu family's leftover money this year? It's a fate to meet anyway, or I'll pay it for him? ”

Brother Feng sighed: "Mr. is indiscriminately kind, and the Liu family's leniency is not much, just a few hundred wen...... Forget it, sir, you don't have to give it for him, I am quite familiar with Lin Erman, the leader of the Bianjing Wharf, and when the time comes, I will ask Liu Da for a favor and go to carry a few days of work, two hundred and fifty yuan, which is just one day's wages. ”

After speaking, he glared at Liu Dayi: "Don't get used to him being lazy!" ”

……

When they got up the next day, Liu Da and his wife had already gone to the field, and Liu Ya seemed to have gone to study in the primary school in other villages, and the old woman was left at home.

Su You asked Zhang Qi to quietly leave two hundred and fifty Wen Ma material money and accommodation fees, and said goodbye to the old woman.

On the way back, Su You was sullen all the way, and the Son of Heaven was like this under his nose, how did the rest of the states and counties get it.

Back at the mansion, it was already the middle of the month, and Liang Yanming and Shen Chen came in to greet the situation.

Seeing Su You's unhappy face, Liang Yanming persuaded: "Da Yin doesn't have to be like this, although he has been punished, the official family still values Da Yin." ”

Su You was stunned: "What? What is the penalty? And what punishment did you receive? ”

Liang Yanming and Shen Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, Shen Chen said: "It turns out that Da Yin doesn't know yet, we scolded ten guards with a rod according to what Da Yin said, and Xiang Gong and His Majesty didn't say anything, but Cai Yushi jumped out to impeach Da Yin, saying that the Ouchi guards are guarding His Majesty, and the place where the prime minister dismounts is not suitable, and the guards should be stopped." ”

He also said...... also said that Kaifeng Mansion looked at the eyes of the prime minister, and there were ten staff guards. In the future, how dare the guards be loyal to their duties? ”

Su You nodded: "So what?" ”

Liang Yanming said cautiously: "So...... His Majesty thinks that Cai Yushi is reasonable, Da Yin, you were fined ten catties of copper. ”
