Yunbin Building. The carved eaves reflect the sun, and the painting is flying clouds. In the hall on the second floor, the sound of discussion gradually decreased.

Old Cheng was steady, and Tang Daobin, the 40-year-old head of the household department, was responsible for answering the questions of the magnates and giant businessmen about the imperial court coinage plan. Have a ready tongue.

I shook my head a little. Don't look at these are all relatives of the emperor and the world's giant businessmen, all of whom are worth more than one million, but when it comes to business, they are similar to the small people in the market, in a sense.

At the same time, I had some doubts about Jia Huan's thoughts in my heart.

Tang Daobin and Jia Huan were in the same year, and Zhao Shangshu wanted to transfer people to do things, so naturally he gave priority to finding Jia Huan in the same year. Zhao Shangshu was originally very close to Jiafu. Tang Daobin has experienced the introduction of the entire coinage policy.

The imperial court decided that the Ministry of Industry would be solely responsible for minting coins, and that minting bureaus would be set up in various places to meet the demand for silver coins in various places. This is to prevent bad money from appearing. The casting process must be in the hands of the imperial court.

Of course, the mints everywhere are on the land of the giants, so don't think about such a thing as technical secrecy. If they want to take it, they can definitely buy it with silver. However, the rule of the imperial court was that the scribing was responsible.

Whoever is responsible for the area where there is bad money, who is responsible for recycling, disposal. The first time was confiscated from the deposit deposited in the household department, and the second time was the house was raided.

In the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, the imperial court approved a total of 2 billion silver coins. This share is divided among the magnates and tycoons. Each family is required to pay a 5% deposit and deposit it in the household department. This is the Zhou Dynasty version of the reserve requirement. The Ministry of Accounts performs the functions of the central bank.

Given that the current strategy is to implement a silver currency and unify the currency as soon as possible, the reserve requirement rate is as low as 5%. In 2017, the PBOC's reserve interest rate for large financial institutions was 16.5%.

However, no matter how the share of 2 billion is divided, in the final analysis, it is still a question of qualification. According to the preliminary list drawn up by the Ministry of Households, there are a total of nine. However, Tang Daobin didn't think that Jia Fu was strong enough to enter the list.

On the list, it is either the Son of Heaven, an institution of the imperial court, or a giant businessman, what strength does Jiafu have? Political status? The political envoy is not on par with the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, right? Economic power? How much silver can Jia Fu take? The three imperial businessmen and the four major consortia are all extremely rich.

It's not qualified!

It's an obvious target!

…

…

When the rules set by the household department are clarified, all that remains is to divide the shares.

The Suzhou giant businessman who came on behalf of the King of Chu, the short and fat Gao Zhiling, asked: "Lord Tang, there is something unclear below, why do you add Jia Mansion to the list drawn up by the household department?" What is the rationale for this? ”

200,000 taels of silver, in exchange for not only the meeting of the king of Chu, but also today's invitation, as well as the banner of the king of Chu.

A few words that offended Jiafu were nothing in Gao Zhiling's opinion. What he meant was to get him a bigger share of the coinage through this question. The King of Chu is not on the original list of the household department!

Before Tang Daobin could answer, Jia Lian said very dissatisfiedly: "What does this mean?" Isn't my Jia Mansion qualified to participate in the minting of coins? This was proposed by my brother Huan personally to the Son of Heaven. ”

With Lian Ershao's temperament, of course, he looks down on this kind of turtle from Suzhou who likes to pretend to be forced and lustful. He's a particular person.

Gao Zhiling laughed a few times.

Meaning, everyone here understands: put forward a plan, you can get more shares? Boy, in the end, you have to rely on strength to speak.

In the carved hall, the hollowed-out carved windows are open, and the shredded sunlight shines in. At the table of the Eight Immortals, there were Shiyi, Lu Yong, Yin Wuji, Wang Heting, Ma Juntai, Wu Guanheng, Hu Chi, Liu Zining, Ning Plating and others.

The initial plan of the household department is nine, but today's invitation has been sent to many people. are all qualified to "bid" in Beijing.

A slight laugh rang out. Obviously, for some people, the second son of the long house of Jiafu is just a small role.

For a while, Jia Lian's face was very ugly.

Three meters away, Yin Wuji, who was the ticket number of the Jin merchant Baichuantong, raised his voice and said with a smile: "Young Master Lian, what Senior Brother means is that Jia Mansion is not qualified to participate in today's situation. Moreover, your government was only fined 500,000 taels of silver two years ago, and this time the household department requires a 5% deposit, and your government is afraid that it will be very difficult. Young Master Lian should be cautious when he speaks. ”

Yin Yuanwai General Jia Lian kneaded it. With the words of Gao Zhiling, he went one step deeper, intending to exclude Jia Fu.

Again, there was a slight burst of laughter in the hall. Jia Lian's face became quite ugly: he, Jia Fu was despised.

Tang Daobin, Ji Ming, and He Yigradually looked at Zhao Shangshu, who was sitting on the main seat, smiling and drinking tea, endured it, and did not speak.

To say that the relationship is close, Zhao Shangshu has a close relationship with Jiafu. Good for the family. Zhao Shangshu didn't say anything. It's not easy for them to open their mouths on such a big occasion.

Gao Zhiling's face changed slightly. He stepped on Jia Lian a few words, just to fight for his own rights and interests, not to exclude Jia Fu. However, Yin Wuji's words became his squeeze on Jiafu, making it difficult for him to distinguish his mouth.

Lu Yong, the leader of the Jin merchants, looked at the Yin Yuan beside him and drank tea.

The Hui merchants on the table next door, Wang Heting and Ma Juntai glanced at each other: The play meat is here. The two of them were discussing in the Hui Chamber of Commerce that day, and they felt that the faction of the King of Chu seemed to have malicious intentions towards Jiafu, and it was indeed so.

In fact, combined with the news circulating in Beijing recently, it is very easy to understand why Yin Wuji wants to pit the high order: weeds grow in the self-reserved field! As the sole sponsor of the King of Chu, how could Baichuantong tolerate the high millions from Suzhou to intervene in the Party of the King of Chu?

Hu Chi sneered in his heart, this kind of shopping mall trick of excluding others first and then carving them up, he can see it clearly. He and Jia Huan have some friendship, and they drank together in Beijing in February. But now that Zhao Shangshu is not outstanding, he can't speak.

Wu Guanheng was leisurely drinking tea.

…

…

In the seat, the three imperial merchants in Beijing were all present: the person who participated in the business, the Yu family; the Wang family, who runs the Changlu Salt Farm; The Liu family, who operates the north-south trade of goods.

In the system of the dynasty, the imperial merchants were all hung in the name of the household department and paid for the money and grain. The imperial merchants were familiar with Zhao Heling, the secretary of the household department. Zhao Shangshu had been an official in the household department, and he was promoted all the way up from the director, the clerk, the langzhong, the waiter, and the shangshu.

Liu Huangshang Liu Zining got up, hugged his fists and said: "Master Situ, if it is noon today, the matter of qualifications can be put aside first, it is better for the imperial court to give a rough division of the amount that can be subscribed to each family." ”

Zhao Heling is in his early fifties, wearing a second-grade scarlet robe, and at this age he can be a household scholar, and he can be in the prime of life. However, Zhao Shangshu is a scholar, a technocrat and a technocrat with a not very strong personality. Twisted Xu smiled and excused himself: "You don't agree with the preliminary plan given by this official. Or do you wait for yourself to negotiate it first? ”

Immediately, more than two dozen people began to argue about their respective quotas.

The debate lasted until the afternoon, and there was still no definite result. There is only a rough plan, that is, the share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which must be the first grade. The household department and the industrial department are in the second grade, and how to divide the rest is debated.

For example: Hu Chi, the money king of the southwest, he monopolizes the market in the southwest, but the economy of the southwest is not developed, how much share to give?

For example, the thirteen merchants in Guangzhou, they are all engaged in maritime trade business, and their influence is only in Lingnan, how much share do they give?

For example, Jin merchants have a total of sixteen ticket numbers, with such strong financial resources, how much share do they want? If you give less, you can't do it.

So, what about Hui merchants? The salt merchants are also known as rich and rival the country. Moreover, the salt tax of the two Huai is one-tenth of the tax paid in the world. It is an object that the state needs to rely on. How much to give?

For example, in the Han Palace, the Son of Heaven wants money, and the royal family can't do without it, right?

For another example, the King of Chu is so powerful, he is very hopeful to wait for the position of the crown prince, and he is the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, so he wants to share it, right?

Among them, there is also a point of contention: can Jiafu have the strength to eat the quota allocated by the imperial court, and does it need to be excluded?

…

…

In the setting sun, the meeting between the household department and the magnates and giant businessmen in Beijing ended, and they came out, and the carriages and sedan chairs left under the entourage.

The news spread quickly the next day, as reported by the newspaper's editors. Mainstream comment, this very chaotic negotiation, the organization of the household department is quite unfavorable, and it is mired in quarrels.

A share of 2 billion silver dollars, that is, 200 million taels of silver. The profit from the minting was 40,000,000 taels of silver. What a fortune! Who doesn't care?

The atmosphere in Beijing gradually became more subtle.
