Chapter 378: Thoughts
After initially establishing a good relationship with Li Gang, the superintendent of the imperial history, Liu Yong's next targets were Xing Jie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
I ate a meal of wine as concocted.
The two of them were also very happy to get a drink from their boss. At the wine table, he immediately said that it was very important that in the future, Prime Minister Zuo would be useful, and he would definitely go to the soup and go to the fire.
Of course, Liu Yong's big framework is still dominated by the right prime minister. Envy can't make them see it yet, the main thing at the moment is to build a good relationship. When the time comes, it will be able to be used by me slowly.
Through these two invitations to wine, Liu Yong understood that officialdom is the wine field.
These days, Liu Yong has undertaken the work of weighing, which has made the right prime minister a lot easier. Moreover, Liu Yong often showed loyalty in front of the right prime minister, which made him relax a lot.
And Liu Yong also grasped the operation of the entire imperial court administration little by little. He began to fight back.
Two months have passed, and the weather in Lin'an Mansion has gradually cooled down.
As the day dawned, there was an issue, of course, on the issue of printing and distributing the meeting.
In fact, Emperor Rijong also understood that the issuance of the Huizi had brought about the actual benefits brought by the imperial court finances. But the consequences Liu Yong also told him.
Anyway, Liu Yong is opposed to printing and distributing a large number of huizi, so that it will depreciate in a few years, which will cause large-scale inflation. It is the poor people who suffer like that.
Although Ritsune was also opposed before, but now that he saw the actual benefits brought by the huizi, he had to re-examine the benefits of printing and distributing the huizi.
Because the border needs armaments, then it will require a lot of military spending. If you want to get the money out there, it's a good way to get some sleep. Huizi is a piece of paper, and this paper can replace copper coins and gold and silver, which is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way for the Southern Song Dynasty court, which is eager to expand the country's wealth.
At that time, the imperial court almost didn't care about what kind of inflation.
Huizi was printed by Liu Yong's predecessor, the head of the household. And when it came to Liu Yong, he was a little opposed. Nor for their own bank. After all, the impact is still limited. The profits of its own soy sauce industry are increasing year by year, which can fully compensate for the decline in bank income.
No, he could close all the banks.
But at this time in the court, Liu Yong did not insist on his own ideas. Because he didn't have to argue with reason. And after these two passed, Liu Yong found that Li Zong's attitude towards the right prime minister had also changed. I don't want to hate it so much anymore.
What's going on here? He didn't know. This may be the right prime minister's conspiracy. But no matter how Emperor Lizong's attitude changed, Liu Yong's attitude remained the same, because he didn't want to give the profits of the two layers of the bank to the right prime minister in vain, let alone let himself become the right prime minister's money box.
The only way to solve these technical problems is to take down the right prime minister. And then keep the bank, knowing that it takes a lot of money to build your own fleet. And where does all this money come from? It's from the bank.
As long as the sea is successful once, the money earned will completely pay back the bank's money.
By now, Liu Yong is no longer short of money, and his money has been exchanged for gold and silver, and for jewelry. These are his family resources, and he doesn't want to use them.
Liu Yong knows one thing very well, that is, it is the coolest thing to use other people's money to make money.
When he has a foundation overseas, the life span of the bank of the Great Song Dynasty is coming to an end.
The right prime minister proposed to increase the number of copies of the meeting in the household department, and to change the issue in order to prevent counterfeiting. The exchange of a new guild for a long-term huiko has reached the circulation of new huiko.
The right prime minister also suggested that Huizi would implement an exchange system from now on, that is, he could use Huizi to go to the departments specified by the imperial court to exchange copper coins. And his suggestion was to let the holder go to the Royal Bank to pay it. In this way, the imperial court was saved from establishing a special exchange agency.
Liu Yong immediately raised the handling fee. Moreover, the imperial court was required to inject actual capital into the banks. Otherwise, his bank would have been emptied. On the question of handling fees, he thought that his bank could not exchange for the imperial court in vain.
In this way, although Liu Yong's Royal Bank is called a bank, it cannot function as a modern central bank. Moreover, it was impossible for the imperial court and the emperor to hand over the financial power of the state to the banks. It is said that it is the Royal Bank, but in fact it is a private deposit and loan institution for the purpose of profit. It is equivalent to the ticket number of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
At this time, the right prime minister intended to let the person who held the meeting go to the royal bank to exchange it, which was unfavorable to Liu Yong. What he ignores is whether he will inject capital into the bank or not, and if he does not inject capital, the bank treasury there will turn from a full treasury of copper coins into a pile of waste paper.
Liu Yong will not agree to this situation.
And the right prime minister wants two layers of profits.
This right prime minister is really thinking about the imperial court, the Jin State in the north is about to move, and Mongolia in the north has become stronger. As the right prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he can't sit idly by, but also take precautions. The huge military expenditure made him a little anxious.
At this point, he had to make Liu Yong take on more responsibilities, so his royal bank had to make more money so that the expenses of the imperial court could be balanced
Liu Yong didn't know that in private, the right prime minister had already discussed it with Emperor Lizong.
Now Liu Yong understands that Emperor Lizong asked him to deal with the right prime minister, which is just a means to use his own right to pre-empt the right prime minister. And the political situation is changing, once the emperor thinks that the right prime minister at this time can solve his problems better, he will forget the previous pain and fall to the right prime minister.
Emperor, Emperor, you have too much to think about.
That's politics, though.
Although Liu Yong is calling for wind and rain in the mall, he is still a little white man in politics.
Don't look at him as the left prime minister now, and he has also taken over most of the government affairs, but he is just a flag in the hands of the emperor and the right prime minister.
It was at this moment that Liu Yong had to examine the Great Song Dynasty from the west. He found that the water here was bottomless! And he hasn't learned to swim yet.
He suddenly wanted to give up, he had no intention of being an official, and this time it was just because of the insatiable greed of the right prime minister.
However, the word renunciation is only a fleeting one. Give up, hum, I, Liu Yong, have never known these two words.
The next moment, he decided that he was going to turn into a dragon, turning the river over the sea, and he wanted to swim in this sea that did not know the depths.
"Hehe, right prime minister, Weichen disagrees with your suggestion." Liu Yong decided to fight with the right prime minister.
