When Su Zhe left the palace, it began to snow.

It was not a small snowflake, but a goose-feather-like snow flake, mixed with grains of ice slag, which were picked up by the strong wind across Xiyu Street, and then smashed on Su Xianggong's old face.

Although the wind and snow were blowing, the old and strong Su Zhe was completely insensitive, and just drove the horse forward against the wind and snow.

On both sides of Xiyu Street, there have been many high-style buildings in recent years, most of which are gold and silver silk shops and the storefronts of the temple's longevity warehouse. The "financial center", which was originally concentrated in Jieshen Lane, has now moved to Xiyu Street outside Qionglin Palace.

Oh, and there are two very special trading houses specializing in gold, silver, silk, silk and copper coins, called Jiehe Bank and Jingdong Bank, which were spun off and expanded on the basis of the Daixiangguo Temple of Jiehe after the Hailu City Shipping and Investment Division seized control of the Sriwijaya Strait. The major shareholders of these two banks are the now rich Jiehe Commercial Market, Jingdong Commercial Market, Nanxin Island Commercial Market, Gonghe Bank, Panjia Gold and Silver Silk Silk Jiaoyin Shop, Daxiangguo Temple, and the Great Education Group, etc.

The so-called "bank" is said to be named after the "silver money trading house", and its business is similar to that of the gold and silver silk shop and the temple Changsheng storehouse. However, because of the endorsement of the three major merchant markets, the credit of these two banks is far from being comparable to that of ordinary gold, silver, silk, silk and silk shops, and even the immortal treasury of many temples is not as good as theirs.

As a result, these two banks have the ability to absorb savings at lower interest rates, and have opened many stores in Kaifeng Prefecture and the two major cities, and have also started branches in Xuzhou, Damingfu, Henan, Jingzhaofu, Yingchuanfu, Yingtianfu, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Pingjiangjun, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Nanxin Island.

Moreover, they also joined forces with Christie's and Poly Dexing, as well as a number of large-scale gold, silver, silk and silk shops and Changsheng Warehouse, to open money exchanges in Kaifeng Mansion, Jiehe Commercial City, and Jingdong Commercial Market. It is used to carry out interbank lending, determine the exchange transaction price between gold, silver, copper, coins, silk and silk, and the level of interest.

Su Zhe glanced at the façade of the Jiehe Bank Building and the Jingdong Bank Building standing side by side, it was almost dusk and it was still snowing heavily, but the tethered pillars and parking spaces in front of the two buildings were still full.

"It seems that the heads of the money industry in the whole city have been gathered."

Xue Sichang's throat was a little hoarse when he spoke, and his spirit looked a little tired, obviously tired. Since Ji Yihe lifted Su Shi, the official secretary of Jingdong City, on the "tribute gold and silver" was delivered, the entire silver and money industry in Kaifeng Mansion, as well as Xue Sichang, the head of the household department, and Fan Chun, the secretary of Taifu Temple, have fallen into an unprecedented excitement and anxiety.

Excitement is because there is too much gold and silver for foreign "tribute"! According to the estimation of the Jingdong City Bo Division, who was in charge of temporarily collecting these tributes, the four countries of Dashiguo, Zhuranguo, Boluo, and Sanfojaqi sent a total of about 1.55 million taels of gold to the Great Song Dynasty, and no less than 4 million taels of silver.

In addition, Ji Yi also brought back the taxes accumulated by the Srivijaya City Bosi in the past period, totaling 110,000 taels of gold and 520,000 taels of silver.

That is to say, in terms of statistics, the Great Song Dynasty court earned 1.66 million taels of gold and 4.52 million taels of silver in a very short period of time!

And the part that has not been counted is probably no less than this number!

If this gold and silver are converted into copper coins, it is almost more than 10 million yuan.

More than 10 million yuan is not much, and if you buy a house in Kaifeng Mansion, it is hundreds of sets of "Shikumen". However, compared with the financial system of the Great Song Dynasty, it was an unexpected massive inflow of funds.

You must know that the main tone of Da Song Finance has always been "money shortage", and in order to solve the "money shortage", the imperial court can be said to have hollowed out its mind and racked its brains.

But now there is a sudden 180-degree turn, and the money shortage has turned into a lot of money.

Of course, more than 10 million yuan is not a big deal. But the question is, will there be millions more every year? So after the excitement, everyone started to get anxious again.

What Ji Yi brought back was only gold and silver, not copper. Since there is so much gold and silver overseas, what about the amount of copper? If there is also a lot of copper to flow into, wouldn't it really be a shortage of money to a lot of money? The silver money industry, as well as the household officials who manage the state finances, and the officials of the Taifu Temple who are responsible for minting money, how can they not be troubled?

Officials can still make a living in this regard, can they not figure it out if they make a living in the banking industry? If you don't figure it out, if you want to go in the opposite direction, and miscalculate the exchange price and interest rate, you will go bankrupt.

And the most nerve-wracking question for officials is how Ji Yi got this more than 10 million ......

Tribute or something, no one will believe it.

The Great Song Dynasty is not a Tubaozi dynasty that closes itself off from the country and does not see foreigners, and it still knows a little about the situation outside. No one's money is blown by the wind! Why did you give it to Da Song? What to say to thank the benevolence of the Great Song Emperor.

What kind of benevolence does the current official family have? In addition to reckless war, it is to spend money indiscriminately, and there are all kinds of scandals...... There are so many beauties in the palace who are not satisfied, and they run outside the palace to hunt for beauty all day long. If such an emperor wants to be considered "benevolent", then what is Emperor Renzong? Why didn't Renzong pay a little tribute to the Great Song Dynasty at that time? However, there are many Fanbang barbarians who look at Da Song and bully them, and come to the door to ask for money.

"Xianggong, could it be that in the name of tribute, the reality of trade?"

Xue Sichang pondered a possibility.

"Impossible." Su Zhe shook his head, "Will the Srivijaya City Division and the Jingdong City Division allow such a thing to happen?" More than 10 million yuan, how much tax do you have to collect?

Moreover, when have you ever seen a fan chamber of commerce come to trade with us with a lot of real money? ”

"It makes sense." Xue Sichang thought for a while, "Then what's going on with all this real money?" ”

"It must be ......" Su Zhe lowered his voice, "It must be robbed!" ”

"Rob!?" Xue Sichang took two breaths of cool air, and said in his heart: Now that Da Song is as powerful? Can you also go out to the grass valley to collect New Year's coins?

In fact, this is benevolence! You gave the protection money, and the Great Song Dynasty won't beat you, how benevolent is it?

"That's ...... Good thing, right? "Xue Sichang is not a Jinshi, he is a follower who has made up for the officials. Looking at the problem is naturally more practical, it is definitely better to be able to grab other money than to be robbed by others, right?

Su Zhe sighed, "It's better to have money than no money...... But in this way, the ceremony of the coming of all nations must be done. ”

took more than 10 million people, and came the missions of the Great Food Country, the Roman State, the Zhulin Country, and the Baltic State...... It's all like this, do you still want to keep your eyes on it? Yelu Yanxi is not stupid.

So it is inevitable that Song Liao will turn his face! And since Song Liao will definitely turn his face, it seems that next year's New Year's coins don't need to be handed over again.

When asking the right question in today's Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji showed Cai Jing's advocacy of stopping the payment of New Year's coins and being tough on Liao. And listening to Zhao Ji's tone, he seemed to agree with Cai Jing's point of view.

"Kangzong," Su Zhe paused, "The weather is too cold today, and the old man seems to be sick." ”

Sick? Xue Sichang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Su Zhe, the old man was in good spirits! And since he returned to the pot to be the prime minister again, it seems that he has never been sick...... How can I get sick when I blow a cold wind today?

Then Su Zhe coughed a few times, "Kangzong, which state in the south do you say is more suitable for retirement?" ”

Su Zhe is going to invite the county!

What kind of brain did Xue Sichang have, he immediately thought that Su Zhe was ready to retreat.

Today, Zhao Ji showed Cai Jing's recital at the Chongzheng Palace, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to let Cai Jing come back.

Cai Jing was the left minister, and he was not demoted after being convicted, and his original official status is still there. Re-entering Kaifeng Mansion is, of course, Xuanma's worship. And Su Zhe has been the prime minister for many years, and his son Su Chi is now the northwest transfer envoy, and he has made great contributions to the light of Zhang Yuan, and it is only a matter of time before he declares hemp.

In addition, Su Dongpo has been dead for almost three years. The three brothers Su Mai, Su Yu, and Su Guo will soon come out to be officials. Among them, Su Mai and Su Yu are both capable of high-level Confucian ministers such as Zhongshu Sheren and Hanlin Bachelor.

If Su Zhe is still on the throne of the prime minister, it will be a bit of a way in the way of the juniors. If Zhao Ji trusted him, it would be fine, but now Zhao Ji is already hinting that Su Zhe will let Xian, and it will not be interesting for Su Zhe to rely on the stage again.

And the current situation is changing too fast, so fast that Su Zhe, an old minister, can't understand it.

Understanding Su Zhe's situation, Xue Sichang did not persuade him to stay, but seriously suggested: "If the Xianggong wants to invite the county, the lower official suggests that the Xianggong choose one of the three places in Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou." ”

Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou were all important foreign ports in the Great Song Dynasty, and before the development of Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City, these three ports were the top three import and export commercial ports. Even today, Quanzhou is still the first port in the world, and the scale of foreign trade is especially above Haizhou and Jiehe.

Now it is the general trend for the Great Song Dynasty to shift its economic and financial focus to overseas trade...... Whether it's stolen, robbed, or blackmailed, it's definitely easy. It is much faster than collecting the money for exempting the land from the army, so the fiscal revenue pattern of light land and heavy trade will definitely be established in the future.

Now the Ship Division of Jiehe City and the Ship Division of Jingdong City are still far away in Nanyang, and the Ship Division of Sriwijaya City seems to be relatively powerful, and they can hand over at least two million yuan of income a year. The three cities of Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou are a bit unusual, and the three commercial markets only hand over three or four hundred thousand yuan a year. It's a bit of a bully!

Therefore, it must be rectified, and if it can be rectified to a level similar to that of the three cities of Jiehe, Jingdong, and Sriwijaya, then the imperial court will be able to directly earn 4 million yuan from overseas trade in a year.

If this extra income is not spent indiscriminately by Zhao Ji, it can reduce taxes for farmers in many poor places, and if it can really be like this, it can be regarded as a bit benevolent.

"Good!" Su Zhe thought about it, nodded and said, "The old man will invite Quanzhou!" ”
