Chapter 785: The Longzhong Pair of Two Traitorous Ministers

When I went to Cai Jing's study, I saw Cai Jie, who had just been released, kneeling on the ground shirtless on a cold day, and the skin on his body was beaten, which was ruthless enough. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this was beaten by Lao Cai's family, not by Kaifeng Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that this kid had some muscles, he would probably have to hit the street.

"You can't be a thing, how can the Cai family have a child like you, if it weren't for Xiao Gao to give the Cai family face and testify for you to close the case, the old man swore that he didn't want to talk and lose such a face." The Cai family deliberately slapped him on the head again and said, "It's not too late to write about Xiao Gao's grace." ”

Cai Jie, who had a blue nose and swollen face, said in a low voice: "Thank you for your help." ”

At this point, Xiao Cai's task was completed, and he was kicked by Cai Jing and kicked away. Lao Cai is treacherous enough, and the intention of this play is: it is the high school hall that interferes with the judiciary with Cai Jie, not Cai Zhongtang.

Then, the two traitors sat down in the posture of literati, began to be elegant, and said a few words after serving a good tea.

Lao Cai likes to beat around the bush, twisting his beard and laughing: "Xiao Gao, when you were in the shadow, you accepted the heavy responsibility to guard the water park when you were a fledgling, and this change of time is really fast, and nearly six years have passed like this." The old man watched you come step by step from Yuncheng, Jiangzhou, and the Daimyo Mansion, which is not easy. Then your kid didn't disappoint, no matter where he was, he did a good job, although he had some bad political mistakes because of his anger, but the old man also gave you a round. That year, you were promoted to guard the northern strategy for His Majesty, and now you have made such a great contribution, it can be said that this is the biggest stroke of genius in the old man's ruling career. On the whole, the old man is satisfied with you. ”

"......" Gao Fangping collapsed, as if he was more real.

However, the helpless thing is that he is thick-skinned, and these are also true. Not only is he saying this, but this old man now has a lot of prestige among the people. There was a large group of angry youths and scribes who called him "the elder" and said that his use of the Baoju Gao Fangping was really the greatest success of his reigning career.

"Eh, Xie Caixiang lifted." Gao Fangping looked respectful and respectful.

Cai Jing said again: "However, in addition to being angry and killing evil, there are also other moths and things that do not do business. The early money bank didn't talk about you, although you are the founder, but now the money bank is no longer yours. My Cai family holds a lot of shares, and the proportion is larger than yours. It is only said that after withdrawing from the money village, what kind of shipping company did you go to, and then when you were in charge of the Northern Transshipment Division, you let the imperial court buy a large number of your Gaojia shipping services, wantonly make armaments and forcibly sell them to the Western Army, so that the imperial court owes you a huge amount of more than 10 million yuan, which is very bad, and this is suspected of competing with the people and the imperial court. Speaking of which, even in my dynasty, the matter of money is not big, but it is not small. Now that you are prosperous, no one will talk about you for a while, but it does not mean that the officials have forgotten about it, they will record these in the account book, and when it is suitable and necessary, they will turn over these old accounts. Therefore, in terms of making money, you must also pay attention to the influence, pay attention to the appearance of food, and reluctantly add uncertain factors to the future road to power. ”

Depend on. Brother, this is also called eating ugly, who in the world looks good? In this era of worse than rotten, I am still the first good-looking brother in terms of food.

However, what Cai Jing's old fox said was right. There are really countless people who will be jealous of these things, and there will really be officials who will record them in the account books. Just like Lao Cai wrote down Wang Zudao's affairs on the "notepad", when the time comes, when the politics needs it, take it out and use it, and continue to put it if you don't need it.

Lao Cai said that this matter can be big or small, no one said it when it was prosperous, and it was bitten when it was needed. These really exist, and this kind of officialdom culture has not changed for thousands of years, when it is good, everyone lifts it, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes it, these are repeated repeatedly in Lao Cai.

"Yes, yes, Cai Xiang taught me a lesson." Gao Fangping nodded again.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, although he was not sincere, Lao Cai liked his sensible appearance, so he was happy.

After taking a sip of tea, Lao Cai said kindly: "There are some things that the old man usually doesn't discuss with others, but now you are no longer the Wuxia Ameng, and you can participate in the ruling program suggestions." So the old man wanted to talk to you about this "Money Law". ”

"The lower officials are listening." Gao Fangping Road.

Cai Jing said: "The money administration is complex and changeable, and my Great Song Dynasty is in a situation of rapid economic prosperity but lack of copper money. In addition to the consuls, there are not enough outsiders to be humane. It can be said that in the years that the old man has been in power, he has always been trying his best to deal with this money supply. ”

Gao Fangping rolled his eyes and continued to listen.

Cai Jing continued: "Fortunately, you started a money bank a few years ago, and now you are becoming more and more mature. In addition, the banknotes on Jiangnan East Road are running smoothly. In previous years, the northwest has been the most scarce copper coins, mixed with a large number of iron coins to participate in circulation, and now the Xixia city has been opened, and the Xixia people have accepted Jiangdong paper money to a certain extent. Therefore, paper money will replace Jiaozi and become a good way to alleviate the money shortage in our dynasty. In the past few days, Benxiang has been thinking about whether to raise the "Money Law" to the policy level and officially promote it. Fan Ziyi is now gone, and the solid guardians of the corresponding monetary policy issued on the gold, silver and copper standards are gone. In addition, now that the banknotes of the Great Song Dynasty have begun to flow into the Western Xia, and continue to increase in volume, the Great Song Dynasty is still in a shortage of money. So the money method considered by the prime minister is to give up the gold, silver and copper standard, what is your opinion? ”

"Absolutely not!" Gao Fangping categorically denied it.

Hearing him so resolute, Cai Jing was unhappy, knowing that he didn't trust himself.

Yes, Gao Fangping doesn't trust him, it's a matter of money politics, his Lao Cai has made too many moths, and the earlier money introduction, Jiaozi, and all kinds of big ten coins are all bad politics that suck the marrow of the people.

Theoretically, his course is right, and the ultimate direction of any government is certainly unsecured paper money. That is, a piece of paper, backed only by the government's credit, not real money.

Speaking of Cai Jing's ten dollars, it costs more, which is equal to three-tenths of the value, which is much more generous than those financial politicians in later generations.

But here's the big problem: control.

changed Gao Fangping to power, and finally took the route of credit endorsement. But Gao Fangping can do it, but Lao Cai definitely cannot, and the financial prototype that Gao Fangping has worked hard to build for many years cannot be ruined by Lao Cai. Cai Jing's biggest problem is that his power is obtained by conspiracy and indulgence of his subordinates. Maybe he has a good heart in terms of money and politics, but he can't control the magnates and sharks under his command at all, so once he gave up the gold, silver and copper standard that Fan Ziyi insisted on at that time at the level of national law, it was determined that within a few years, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was sucked up by the sharks who took advantage of the loopholes.

"Xiangye, the lower official is undoubtedly offended. But you really can't open it casually, you really can't control what the group of people below think. Gao Fangping hugged his fists, "One truth you need to understand is that the failure of money administration in the past is not the failure of your policy, but the failure of personnel. The time for money law is definitely not ripe now, and Uncle Yexianggong will soon leave the household department and let go of government affairs. Therefore, the money law cannot be changed, this is a flood beast. The resulting deflation is of course harmful to the Great Song Dynasty, but the damage is only harm, even if the economy does not grow, it must not be carried out without quantitative indiscriminate issuance, and the credibility that has been built up with great effort over the years cannot be wasted, this is the bottom line. “

Cai Jingdao: "Now that the materials have exploded, the growth rate of all walks of life far exceeds the mining speed of gold, silver and copper in my Great Song Dynasty. The strategy you wrote about finance in the past was also read by the Prime Minister in his free time a while ago. You yourself said that printing money requires logic. Then this minister agrees with your proposition, and the current logic is: you led the army to bring back enough benefits from Western Xia, and now the coal and various minerals transported from Western Xia into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty are goods, that is, the logic of printing money. In view of the fact that the Western Xia accepted paper money, we paid the Western Xia in paper, but in fact caused the Great Song Dynasty to have countless more resources, if the paper money corresponding to this part of the resources was not printed and printed, this is the mismatch and misalignment you said in your strategy. “

Gao Fangping smiled bitterly: "This is indeed my opinion, something I wrote myself." But again, this needs to refer to the 'person' variable. Since ancient times, people's hearts have been the most unpredictable. I asked myself that I couldn't really monitor how much coal and iron had entered the Great Song Dynasty, and if it did, then theoretically it would have been possible to print a corresponding amount of banknotes. But there was a fatal problem that these things were consumed after entering the Great Song Dynasty, coal was burned by furnaces, and iron was made into various utensils. Yes, I also said that energy cannot disappear but is transferred, and the coal burned and the iron consumed must be converted into another productive force, and the productive force needs to be matched by money. But you tell me, how do you quantify these things? How do you quantify what coal is converted into? The only thing that can be quantified is: the data on the import of coal and iron, but it is just a report submitted by the bureaucracy, and I Gao Fangping can't see the real thing, Cai Xiang, do you really trust the data written by that group of people to the imperial court? ”

Cai Jing's old face flushed, of course he knew better than anyone else whether these things could be trusted. In fact, now it is mentioned that the right to issue paper money should be withdrawn to the household department for nationwide promotion, and that "the coal transported into the Western Xia should be used as the logic to print money", it is the pressure that the sharks put on Lao Cai.

The pressure of those people is the pressure of Lao Cai's current administration.

In spite of the improvement of the finances, there is still money waiting everywhere, and for the sake of transportation under the new situation, the Ministry of Industry has submitted a frantic budget request, which will take 27 million yuan to spend five years to expand and maintain the existing river transportation channels, and to open up new canals. Carry out the maximum use of water resources.

In addition, in the battle of Song and Xia, Gao Fangping's policy of the Junior Army has become a bright existence, and now that various industries are developing greatly, the talents trained by the Junior Army Technical Department have become sought-after goods in various industries. So now everyone wants to start a boys' army, and the Ministry of Rites has submitted a budget application of more than 10 million yuan for this purpose, intending to establish a boys' army education system nationwide.

As for the Privy Council's dress change requirements, let's just say that now the Privy Council owes Gao Fangping more than 10 million bills waiting to be paid.
