Chapter 781: Zhizhou is crazy
Qin Xin looked suave, in everyone's eyes, even if they wanted to laugh, they would be very gentle, probably just a light laugh or something.
In fact, after taking office in Hangzhou, the officials of Hangzhou have never seen this governor laugh.
"Hahahaha!"
Qin Xin's laughing voice echoed in the state office, causing the officials outside to look sideways, wondering what good things had happened to Zhizhou, and he was smiling so happily.
"Is this Shen An's idea?"
Qin Xin laughed enough, so he couldn't wait to ask.
Su Yan lowered his head, "The edict once said that the biggest problem in the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is the lack of coins, which restricts the development of all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty...... The lower officials often think that there is not enough gold and silver, and there are not enough copper coins, but why can gold, silver and copper become coins? Isn't it because it's scarce? ”
Qin Xin nodded, becoming more curious about Shen An, thinking that the person himself was very good, and some words and positions made him applaud. But his ability to teach his disciples is so great, and he teaches a coolie boy so well.
"But Xia Guan thought of another problem, gold, silver and bronze are actually worthless, their value lies in people's recognition......
Su Yan has been thinking about this for a long time, and at this moment, he has a smooth mind and fluent language.
So for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, what do they identify with? Xia Guan thought that the first thing was to make them trust the official family and the DPRK and China...... With gold, silver and bronze as a guarantee, and the people's recognition of the official family and the court, can Jiaozi be issued in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
He said with some longing: "If one day Jiaozi can be issued without gold, silver and copper as a guarantee, and the people trust and know the state, what will it be like?" ”
"That Great Song Dynasty is the most powerful in the world, and it can despise all countries." Of course, Qin Xin knew what that situation represented: "The monarch and the ministers are united, the temples and the rivers and lakes are united, such a Great Song Dynasty, who can be the enemy?" ”
Su Yan said: "Zhizhou, there are countless mines overseas, gold, silver and copper, much more than the Great Song Dynasty. There were also countless expensive spices, which were controlled by foreign merchants. They trade back and forth, and they can make money at both ends, and this is a good deal......"
Qin Xin's eyes showed a sharp mang: "This kind of good deal should be Da Song's." The Great Cannibal ...... They have been making our money since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, how many years have they been earning? It's time to earn enough! ”
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"As the edict said, foreign merchants can make money, but the way of second-tier dealers is not good. Now that the Great Song Dynasty naval army has just begun, and the naval army of the Liao people defeated it in World War I, the fangs of the Great Song Dynasty on the sea will be exposed, and the powerful naval army needs countless money to maintain, so why not go directly to the sea to trade? ”
Su Yan said: "The more angry the big food merchants are, the more it shows that their hearts are weak, we just need to persevere...... Zhizhou, businessmen pursue profits, they still have interests at present, no, there are many interests, the Great Song Dynasty can let them earn countless money, they will not refuse. Therefore, the lower officials thought that today's matter was not big, and it was not a big problem to cut off the output of copper coins, because they could also make a lot of money by bartering. Businessmen seek profit, but will they refuse to make money? ”
"Merchants only have money in their eyes." Qin Xin thought clearly about the cause and effect of this matter, and said categorically: "If the most profitable place today is the Great Song Dynasty, if those foreign merchants don't come to the Great Song Dynasty, they will almost end the sea trade, who would want to?" Definitely not! ”
He was relieved and ordered: "Come on, prepare wine and food, and the old man and Su Yan have a good drink." ”
Su Yan said with a bitter face: "Zhizhou, you haven't been down yet!" ”
Qin Xin said with a smile: "The old man here is the biggest, and the old man says that he will drink when he drinks." ”
This is the characteristic of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment, being an official is an official, and he will never refuse when he should enjoy himself.
Someone went to the restaurant outside to order a drink, and the two drank behind the state office.
Later, the news spread, and the city department couldn't help but be in an uproar.
"Zhizhou actually supports Su Tongju's initiative?"
It was an unexpected result, puzzling, but it avoided an internal fight.
"What about the Great Food Merchant?" Someone said entangledly: "But they are gone, once they join forces to persecute, this matter will eventually have to be said,"
The commercial tax of the Great Song Dynasty accounted for half of the fiscal revenue, so it was a supporter of the commercial opening policy from top to bottom, which also made the foreign merchants see the possibility of coercion. Once they join forces to threaten, what will be the attitude of the DPRK and China?
Nobody knows.
The convoy was five miles below the docks, and smoke was rising from the ship, and the people who were buying supplies had already set out, with the intention of sailing back when the supplies were finished.
The news quickly reached the fleet, and people were watching their reactions.
Just then, a small flotilla happened to arrive.
The two fleets met and greeted each other, and they talked about the meaning of the city and discussed it for a long time, and then the small fleet released the news, saying that they were going back together.
"They said they were going back."
When the news reached the state office, Qin Xin, who was drinking, said with a smile: "No matter." ”
The officials outside were entangled in their hearts, but Qin Xin and Su Yan frequently raised their glasses.
"Xia Guan was originally born as a coolie and carried bags, and later his father gritted his teeth and asked Xia Guan to study, but Xia Guan was stupid, and felt that there was no hope of winning in this life......
Su Yan drank the wine and gradually became emotional.
"Until the lower official met the edict, he did not discriminate against the background of the lower official, but took more care of it because of this, Zhizhou, you don't know, the lower official blamed himself because of the changes in his family, and he sealed himself, until he met the edict, he made the lower official feel that there was still warmth in this world...... Let the subordinate know that hard work will lead to success, and he can comfort the subordinate official's mother......"
He remembered his mother, who had been struck by lightning and died, and tears glistened in his eyes.
So the lower officials studied hard, others read for one hour, and the lower officials read for two hours...... At the moment when he was admitted to the Jinshi, Xia Guan just wanted to go to his mother's grave and tell her that this son had a future......"
Qin Xin nodded appreciatively. Young people who know how to be grateful will go long and walk steadily.
"But all this is the gift of the edict," Su Yan said with some embarrassment: "The edict is a scholar of heaven and man, both civil and military, and even more so about finance...... How to say it, Xia Guan feels that he stands out from the crowd. For example, everyone knows about money shortages, but no one can solve them. Is Jiaozi good? It's good, but the risks are not small. The edict once said, don't be bound by the inherent way of thinking, and the lower officials thought, since the copper money is not enough, is it enough? Jiaozi is at risk......"
His eyes were very bright, "Jiaozi has risks, but politicians should not think about avoiding risks, but think about how to overcome this risk." ”
These words hit Qin Xin at once.
"Drink."
It is human instinct to shirk and retreat in case of trouble. Once people get used to this instinct, they will naturally avoid difficult problems.
"Zhizhou, the fleet of the big cannibals has set off and gone to the sea."
"No matter!"
Once Qin Xin figured out the cause and effect, where would he be afraid of the big cannibal turnaround.
"If you don't do it, someone else will do it."
His word spread, and the great food merchants in the city who waited for the wind to go to sea got the news.
How will the big cannibal choose?
Huddle?
The officials in the city of Hangzhou were watching.
"Just go!"
Qin Xin was so drunk that he called a prostitute to sing and dance, and for a while, the state government and demons danced wildly, making the Hangzhou officials look at each other, and they didn't know how long this governor would support Su Yan.
The ships of the big cannibals were gathering one after another, and the people and carts buying supplies filled the major markets in Hangzhou, and for a time those markets were unusually prosperous, but most people could not be happy.
No one likes to make just one sum of money, and a trickle of water is king.
But now this fine water is in danger of being cut off, and everyone is a little worried.
At this time, Qin Xin and Su Yan were still drinking the next day, and they were still ......
"They...... They actually barbecued meat in the state office! ”
it!
For a while, the outside world was shocked, and they all thought that the two were probably crazy.
A merchant of the Great Song Dynasty transported goods south to Hangzhou, and when he saw that the merchants of the Great Food had left the city en masse and were about to leave, he immediately panicked.
Outside the state office, several Great Song Dynasty merchants were wailing: "Qin Zhizhou, we have spent all our money to buy goods to the south this time, and now the big cannibals are far away, who are we selling the goods to?" There is no place to bury the dead. I implore Qin Zhizhou to have mercy on me, otherwise ...... Otherwise, I'll die in front of the state government......"
"Drink!"
Qin Zhen, who was drinking, got the news that someone was going to commit suicide in front of the state government, and Yang Tian smiled and said, "Let them send the goods and give them at the market price." ”
"Zhizhou ......"
"Zhizhou, is this going to use public money?"
Everyone thinks that Zhizhou is probably crazy, but they still hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Zhizhou will not smoke.
In everyone's expectant gaze, Qin Xin drank a glass of wine and asked Su Yan, "What do you think?" ”
Su Yan smiled: "The lower officials think ...... If you can, then buy more. ”
This thing is crazy too!
Just when everyone felt that this was ridiculous, Qin Xin laughed and said, "Shen An will teach disciples, wonderful!" Wonderful! ”
"Bought it." Seeing that the officials looked at each other but did not move, Qin Xin said: "This matter is done by a certain force, and it has nothing to do with you and others. Go ahead. ”
So the merchants were confused.
"You've bought all the goods you're waiting for."
What?
Several businessmen couldn't believe it, crying and shouting that they would not sell, that they would not dare to sell.
When a few officials impatiently threatened to clean them up if they didn't sell them again, the merchants dared to believe that a madman could really be an official.
After selling the goods, several merchants fled the city of Hangzhou overnight.
The snowflakes are falling, and the eyes are white, and this scene is very poetic.
Several businessmen said with palpitations: "Escaped death!" ”
"Qin Xin is probably crazy, he drank wine for two days in a row, and it is estimated that he is crazy to drink, and he can't say that he will regret it later."
"Then hurry up,"
Several merchants went away with carts full of copper coins, but in the other direction outside Hangzhou, a group of big food merchants broke out into an internal fight.
"Who said they were leaving?"
A big food merchant said angrily: "After leaving, will you still trade with the Great Song Dynasty in the future?" Who do we sell our goods to? ”
Most of the people's eyes flickered, and a few said with an angry face: "The Song people deceive people too much, I can't compromise until I go back." ”
"Don't forget how important trade is to the Great Song!"
"But trade is more important to us!"
"The Great Song Dynasty can get a maximum of one million guan a year from trade, but their annual income is tens of millions of guan...... Who do you think will hurt? ”
"That Shen An said that it is too easy for us to make money, and such a trade Great Song merchant can also do it, the key is ......"
The merchant said with a frightened face: "He also said that the Great Song Dynasty naval army wants to escort the Great Song merchant ships, do you know what this represents?" ”
"Crisis!"
"But Shen An does not represent the views of the Song people, and their emperor and important ministers did not take a stand."
"Yes, so we can't anger the Song people, otherwise...... That Shen An is a madman, whether it is against the Liao people, the Xixia people, or even the Jiaozhi people. Ladies and gentlemen, the Jiaozhi envoy died inexplicably in the territory of the Song people, although the Jiaozhi people said that they died of illness, but a certain felt that it was not so simple. By the way, I forgot to tell you that a certain friend met Shen An on the day that the messenger of Jiaozhi announced his death...... It was near the place where the messenger of Cochin died. ”
Nima!
"Is this man so bold?"
Everyone only felt a chill rising from their backs, and they couldn't help but shiver.
The man sighed: "In the face of such a madman, if he is given an excuse, the Song people's naval army will dare to cut off our trade routes!" ”
"You can't give the Song people an excuse!"
Everyone's eyes gradually became firm, and the fear of being put aside was left behind, and they only wanted to maintain the current trade relationship.
"Let's go find Qin Xin, go immediately, otherwise I'm worried about ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and someone shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
After a moment of panic, the merchants rushed away.
