In the chief hall of the three envoys, Chen Zhizhong looked at the three deputy envoys sitting in front of him - Wang Bowen, Wang Weizheng and Wang Juzheng, and sighed deeply: "Alas, some time ago, the flight tickets received by Henan Prefecture to us were still reported in January, and recently changed to one report in five days. ”

Wang Weizheng said: "I've seen it all." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The amount is huge, it seems that Wang Boyong is having a hard time there-"

Wang Bowen couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "What's wrong with him?" He's a creditor! Now it's the end of the year, and it's sad for those who owe money! ”

Wang Weizheng said: "Otherwise, if it is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, Wang Boyong doesn't have to worry, how can he not be missing." Right now? But tens of millions! It was clear that the imperial court could not fill his hole, so he only reported the account in a few days. ”

Chen Zhizhong sighed again: "If you don't fill his hole, you can't do it, he still owes money to Wang Gongchen!" ”

Wang Juzheng, who was sitting there with a straight waist, also said: "The provincial lord is right, Jingxi Road, especially Henan Mansion, owes a lot of money to the camp and field. From the beginning of the year to borrow money and grain for the victims of the disaster, to the later harvest of cotton, all of them were owed on credit. At that time, they said that they would settle the accounts at the end of the year, and we couldn't make up for the flight tickets in Henan Province, so they had no money to pay for the camp and field affairs, how could Wang Junzhen follow? ”

At this time, Wang Gongchen is different from two years ago, the money and grain that the camp and field affairs have in hand every year are much more than the three divisions can be randomly transferred, and every move has a great impact on the current situation. The weight of his words now is no worse than that of a deputy envoy of the Third Division.

Wang Bowen looked at the rest of the people and shook his head incessantly: "Make up? How do the three divisions make up for Henan Mansion? Even if the saint is gracious, all the copper coins in the inner treasury have been emptied, and they can't make up for it! In previous years, you can still use silk silk to fill the number, this year you don't have to think about it, there are countless cotton cloths in Henan Mansion itself, and they don't want silk silk even if it is half price——"

Chen Zhizhong waved his hand: "There is no need to mention the silk silk, don't say they don't want it, and the three divisions can't let go of it anymore." There are more and more cotton cloth there, and the price of silk silk has fallen all the way, and putting it in the library is to make yourself uncomfortable. From this month onwards, horses along the border will no longer use tea, and all will be changed to silk silk. Especially those who have been in the years, they have all been found out, and all of them have used Hebei and Shaanxi roads to change horses and come back. ”

Wang Juzheng said with a straight face: "Provincial master, in this way, I am afraid that the price will also fall." Khitan, Dangxiang and Tubo, those barbarians are also very sophisticated, and when they see this, they must take the opportunity to lower the price. ”

"Come down, what if you don't come down? Two days ago, the official family came to me and wanted to release the silk silk from the inner storehouse, and the older one was only one hundred and fifty wen. Alas, those waiters in charge of the inner treasury are really nonsense, and they only have small profits in their eyes, and they don't want to eat at all. Seeing the price of silk silk falling, they hurriedly threw out the silk silk in the library, isn't this adding to the chaos! ”

Wang Weizheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "The backlog of silk silk in the inner library over the years is not a decimal, if it is thrown on the market at this time, the price of silk silk does not know how low it will be." ”

The three deputy envoys of the king shook their heads again and again, and the attendants were blind, and they didn't want to eat at all, and the emperor shouldn't let them mess around. Cotton cloth is on the market on a large scale, and the price of silk silk is as low as a day, and a large number of low-price sales are coming forward in the palace, and the people of the three divisions are not allowed to live. The inner library just wants to get rid of it, so I can live a few days.

Chen Zhizhong couldn't stop sighing: "Xu Longtu does have a lot of benefits in making cotton cloth on Jingxi Road, but there are so many at once, we are caught off guard!" Now the flight tickets in Henan Mansion cannot be exchanged, and the price of silk silk has been reduced, which is a bit chaotic-"

Wang Bowen tried to ask: "Provincial Lord, do you want to send a letter to Xu Longtu to temporarily suppress the cotton cloth transaction." He was originally the deputy salt and iron envoy of our third division, and he understood our difficulties-"

"The horses have already run and rejoiced, and now they can't get the reins." Chen Zhizhong raised his head and looked at the three of them. "Today's plan is to sell the backlog of silk over the years. As long as there is no backlog in the inner and outer warehouses, the price of silk will still rise slowly. This time, we were caught off guard, and the price of silk will not continue to fall, so we must not mess up. Especially in various texts, don't cut down mulberry trees because the price of silk has fallen for a while, and the offenders will be severely punished! ”

Seeing Chen Zhizhong's serious expression, the three of them hurriedly agreed.

In fact, the cotton cloth is still suppressing the linen market, and the silk and the like should not be greatly affected. This time, the impact was mainly due to the large number of cotton cloth on the market, which led to the shaking of the status of silk hard currency, and the silk silk accumulated over the years was sold to the market in a panic. In fact, if you think about it, even the palace has been sold at a low price, which is conceivable to ordinary people.

Chen Zhizhong sees this very clearly, so the most urgent thing now is to deal with the inventory of previous years.

Wang Juzheng lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head, thought about it again, and said: "There are so many households in the world, just lower the price, who will sell so many silk silks?" Especially when the price of silk is unstable and cannot be used as money, this matter is even more difficult. ”

"The Central Plains region is not easy to sell, sell it to the barbarians, where silk is a precious thing. I heard Wang Bin say that the most common silk in Goryeo costs ten taels of silver a horse, and silk is equivalent to silver. ”

Wang Bowen's eyes lit up: "This is a solution!" However, this thing cannot be done urgently, so it has to be planned calmly. ”

"As I just said, in the future, along the border market horses, try to use less tea and more silk. In addition, I have already promoted Wang Bin to go out of Mizhou, and at the same time set up a city department in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and he promoted him to open up trade routes between Goryeo and Japan. Fan Yong, Fan Wei and Pang Ji also jointly played, hoping to set up a city on Guangnan West Road to connect to the Nanyang Trade Road, and they have also agreed. They were already selling sugar to the South Seas, and some people also had a way to sell a lot, so they hurried to ship it over before the year. ”

Since the destruction of Guangzhou in the late Tang Dynasty, China's trade routes to the South Seas have shrunk sharply, and until now, the imperial court has little incentive to open up again. The "Maritime Silk Road" that later generations said was not developed until the Southern Song Dynasty. The Nanyang trade route connected India and Europe, where there was a vast silk market, and once the trade route was opened, there was no need to worry about who the silk was sold to.

After discussing the backlog of silk for a while, a few people thought about it, and there was still only one way to dump it abroad. The farmers of the Central Plains are self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and the market is indeed not easy to expand.

In the end, Chen Zhizhong said to Wang Bowen: "The most difficult thing to do now is the ticket in Henan Mansion. You take the time to go to Henan Mansion and discuss with Xu Longtu and Wang Boyong what to do. In my opinion, it is best to push the money bank on Jingxi Road to the whole country, and all the accounts are in the money bank, so it doesn't matter if there is a shortage of copper coins. Of course, we have to ask for their opinions on this matter, especially Xu Longtu. You must bring my words and see what Xu Longtu has to say. ”

Wang Bowen agreed, and asked, "In what name?" It's hard to say it's for the ticket. ”

"Let's use the name of worshipping the emperor's mausoleum. I went to tell the official family and Zhongshu that there should be no problem. ”
