In the chief hall of the third division, Chen Zhizhong looked at the booklet that Wang Bowen brought back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info finally closed the booklet, beckoned to Wang Bowen, who was sitting at the bottom, and said: "Xu Longtu is really attentive, and he writes everything about Qianzhuang clearly. Well, with this booklet, we can go to the imperial court to implement the new Qianzhuang policy on Jingxi Road in all parts of the country. As long as the money village is implemented throughout the country, the lack of money is not a big deal, and the flight tickets in Henan Province are naturally not a problem. ”

Seeing Chen Zhizhong patting the booklet with his hand, his face full of relief, Wang Bowen asked carefully: "Provincial Lord, do you really want to implement the new Qianzhuang policy across the country?" Can it be implemented? ”

Chen Zhizhong looked at Wang Bowen and slowly spoke: "Why does Zhong Ming ask that?" ”

"Don't hide it from the provincial lord, according to what the lower officials saw in Henan Mansion, although Xu Longtu did his best to compile this booklet, he didn't think so, Qian Zhuang could be implemented. Xia Guan felt that Xu Longtu always had his own reason for looking at it this way-"

Hearing this, Chen Zhizhong's face was a little unsightly, and then asked, "What did Xu Longtu say?" ”

"Xu Longtu's original words at the time were, 'Not to mention how to look at the Chinese book, whether the Qianzhuang can be built, even if it is built, it will not be possible this year.'" Xia Guan felt that it seemed that Xu Longtu felt that Zhongshu would not agree to implement the new Qianzhuang policy in the country at all. ”

Chen Zhizhong was silent for a while, and then asked Wang Bowen: "Then what do you think?" ”

Wang Bowen lowered his head and thought about it, before he said: "This time I went to Henan Mansion, in fact, I still learned how well the money village was implemented there. In the eyes of Xia Guan, Xu Longtu implemented the new policy of Qianzhuang on Jingxi Road, and did not make any effort to die, but still left a lot of holes. For example, in Mengzhou and Xiangzhou, Li Xianggong and Zhang Taiwei did not agree, so they did not implement the new policy of Qianzhuang. In other state armies, the new money bank policy was implemented at the same time as the companies they set up, and those companies could also keep copper coins in their hands. It is precisely because of this that those who oppose the New Deal can find a way to circumvent it, and Xu Longtu did not deliberately suppress it, and they did not make a big fuss——"

Chen Zhizhong smiled: "It's not big? Someone robbed the bank, killed many people, and robbed thousands of copper coins. In the end, there was a child who set fire to the restaurant, and in the end, even the left-behind Sitong sentenced Sun Wei to be relegated to Lingnan! ”

"These two cases have little to do with Qianzhuang's new policy, Sun Wei is greedy for money and lustful, and his reputation in officialdom is not good. This matter was that he instructed his head of the prefect to take advantage of the fact that everyone was unfamiliar with the new deal to wantonly accumulate money, and finally messed up the matter. took the life of the head of his family, and he was also degraded. Those who are ruined hated him so much that they hate him. If he hadn't been relegated to Lingnan, maybe there would have been many people who wouldn't let him go. ”

Sun Wei's identity, the case was also in a uproar in the court at that time, of course, the rumors in the capital are always a little different from the actual situation in Henan Mansion, but the tone of Sun Chu's chaos because of greed for money is the same. It is precisely because of the Sun Chu case that there must be many people in the court who oppose Qianzhuang's new policy.

However, Chen Zhizhong did not really mean to implement the new policy, and did not care about it. What he found interesting was that Xu Ping clearly saw his intentions and did his best to compile this booklet, obviously to help him tide over the difficulties. On the one hand, he helped himself, and on the other hand, he made no secret of his lack of confidence in this move, which is intriguing.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Zhizhong said: "Xu Longtu is cautious, and there is always room for doing things, so it is not strange to do this." If we implement the new money bank policy across the country, I am afraid that it will not be so peaceful. ”

Wang Bowen smiled bitterly: "This is exactly what Xiaguan meant, the third division wants to do what Xu Longtu did on Jingxi Road, and it is impossible to be so calm." ――But the lower officials feel that it is difficult for the third division to do it now! What is Xu Longtu's identity? Just to implement the new policy all the way to Jingxi, if it weren't for the large amount of money brought by cotton cloth later, it would have been repeated! ”

Xu Ping's official position is exactly the same as Chen Zhizhong's, there is also an additional Marquis of Yongning, and there are more military exploits in Jiaozhi, and it is still so difficult to do, why should Chen Zhizhong continue to implement it throughout the country? Wang Bowen doesn't believe it, I'm afraid no one believes it at all. Xu Ping's implementation of the new policy was mainly based on inducement, and basically did not carry out coercion, where did Chen Zhizhong get the capital to do this? Now just because of the arrears of the flying ticket in Henan Province, the third division is about to go bankrupt, where can I still take the money to lure the world!

Chen Zhizhong didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, and waved his hand: "Let's put the chapter up first, and see what the political hall thinks of it, and then talk slowly." By the way, what else does Xu Longtu have to say? ”

Also, Xu Longtu was extremely dissatisfied with the recent collapse in silk prices, saying that silk was a kind of money, and it fell too fast, leaving the world at a loss. The price of silk silk fell, and the world's money was even more insufficient. ”

"What if you don't fall? Who has the way! He made so many cotton cloths on Jingxi Road, and sold them to the state army across the country at once, and it was too late for the three divisions to stop it! Could it be that he Xu Longtu still has a way to stop the price of silk? ”

Wang Bowen whispered: "Before parting, Xu Longtu mentioned the technique of mentioning to the lower officials, saying that the three divisions should strictly prohibit the treasury of all states and counties from selling silk to the outside world, and collect silk from the people into the official, so that the price of silk should not fall too fast." ”

Chen Zhizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "The most important thing is to have the capital, where does the third division get the capital to buy silk now?" Don't say it's folk silk, even if the light comes out of the inner library, I'm overwhelmed! I naturally know that this is not the way to do this now, not only the price of silk has fallen too fast, and the people lack money to use, but also how to collect the summer tax next year is a headache. But if you don't have money in your hand, who has the means? The state and county are seeing the price of silk falling day by day, and I can't stop it if I don't let the sale of silk? ”

Money and grain are the most important assessment items for magistrates, and in this situation, the three divisions are not allowed to sell to them, and they will secretly try to sell them. Chen Zhizhong wants to ban it, but the problem is that he can't ban it. Not to mention that the inner chamber of the inner library is empty-eyed, and every day Zhao Zhen releases a large amount of silk in the warehouse, and the market in the capital is chaotic. Now the most headache in Chen Zhi is not these, but the summer tax, which has always collected money and silk, and the price of silk is like this, how to collect it next year?

Wang Bowen knew something about this, and said to Chen Zhizhong: "It is difficult for the provincial lord, but the lower officials feel that what Xu Longtu said is also reasonable." As long as you grit your teeth now and stabilize the price of silk for the time being, as long as you stay up for a year and a half, there may be a turnaround. ”

Chen Zhizhong shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more. He naturally understands the truth, but the problem is that he can't do it. How could the strength of the three divisions alone decide to win this kind of national policy, and the political affairs hall could not be counted on for a while.

Since the turn of the year, the contradictions between the two prime ministers, Lü Yijian and Wang Zeng, have become deeper and deeper, and there is a great tendency to be incompatible, and the government has been greatly affected. Xu Ping didn't feel it on Jingxi Road, and Chen Zhizhong was in the third division, but he was deeply affected. Wang Zeng also took into account the overall situation, but only opposed Lu Yijian and tried not to affect the country's major policies. Lu Yijian is not good, almost every government policy, but whenever it is possible, he will use it to fight with Wang Zeng, and the yamen below will not be able to say if there is suffering.

Chen Zhizhong naturally knew that the new policy of Qianzhuang could not be implemented, and in fact, it was impossible to even mention it at this time.
