Chapter 169: Contingency Arrangements

After Xu Ping finished speaking, several people looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Writing books and saying that there is no shortage of such people in this era, and there are many of them. Although Guan Xueluo is still in its infancy and has not become a climate, the Taishan school has risen, Sun Fu is famous all over the world, and Shi Jie has emerged. In the first year of the first year, the pioneer of science, Hu Ying Jingyou, left Mount Tai and returned to Suzhou to give lectures, and another academic center was emerging. Although Qi Tongwen's reputation in later generations was not obvious, his dedication to the Heavenly Academy was bearing fruit, and the students who came out of it began to enter the center of power.

In addition to the Taishan School, Yingtian Academy and Hu Ying have a deep relationship with Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan's status in later generations largely came from his style of learning in the Two Song Dynasty, and the political achievements of the Qingli New Deal were secondary.

However, the academic founding of the literati in this era was mainly based on their own reading and thinking, followed by lectures and discussions with other literati. Like Xu Ping, I have never seen a group of ministers' officials gather a group of ministers, take political affairs as the foundation, and then want to become a family of their own. I have only heard that officials have found a theoretical basis for the implementation of the New Deal, and have gone through the remarks of all the saints to stand up for themselves in order to implement the New Deal, but I have not heard of those who have summarized theory to guide practice from the New Deal.

In the end, it was Li Jing who broke the silence and said firmly: "What Du Cao said is very true! In ancient times, at least, the people were extremely simple in political affairs, and although what the sages said was reasonable, it was only an approximation. How to exert oneself from the path of saints and govern the country is to find one's own way as the world changes. From Yongzhou to Jingxi Road, Ducao is the land of officials, all of them have sufficient money and food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't it a great cause to sum up this truth, let others understand it, learn it, and implement it throughout the country? We will be at the meeting, and we should offer suggestions and make every effort to achieve this! ”

Among these people, only Yang Xuan has worked with Xu Ping for a long time, and when he was compiling the "Money Law Book" in the third division, he had seen Xu Ping's style of doing things, and after listening to Li Ji's words, he said loudly: "Taibo's words are very reasonable, that's it, we work together to sort out the governance of Jingxi Road this year into the law of eternity." First, it can bequeath to future generations and benefit future generations; Second, we can let the court understand how we did these things. It is by no means opportunistic, and the money earned is by no means a false account, but a real wealth that is useful to the country and the people. Not only can we do it, but if we do it, other places can do it too! ”

Seeing that the heavy expressions of Wang Yaochen and Chong Shiheng eased, Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Actually, if you really think about things clearly, there is nothing in this way to establish eternity. Do you still remember the "Money Law Book" compiled by Du Cao when he was in the Third Division? At the beginning, there was a lot of criticism, and there were many people who opposed it even when it came to casting small iron coins. As a result, the small iron money has been tried in Ruzhou for two years, the government and the people are both beneficial, and there are many benefits. When the earliest "Money Law Book" first came out, how many people criticized the shopping coupons of the three shops? What else does anyone say now? Everyone knows that sooner or later, the shopping coupon will replace the copper and iron money like Xichuan Jiaozi, but they can't say when they will do it. We have summed up the governance of Jingxi Road this year, in fact, it is to compile a larger and more complete "Money Law Book", and sort out the experience of how to increase money and food for the government, and how to benefit the country and the people, which is the law for all generations. ”

Xu Ping nodded secretly when he listened, what these people said was better than himself, but it saved a lot of effort. For Xu Ping, he has the knowledge of his past life, he values what he will do more than others, and he knows that it will have great historical significance. But for those involved, it is just an episode in their political careers, and the meaning of history can only be precipitated in the long river of history. The law of eternity can only be established if it is said correctly, otherwise it will be just an ordinary book.

Seeing that he had unified his understanding, Xu Ping raised his glass and said loudly: "Okay, drink this cup full!" In the next few months, we will do this well, and we can't let this year's hard work go to waste. ”

Everyone put down their wine glasses, and Xu Ping said again: "Since everyone has no objections, I will talk about the general regulations." In the month before the end of the year, everyone here put aside the matter at hand for the time being, and rationalized the governance of Jingxi Road this year. It is clear what is beneficial to the country and the people and can be implemented throughout the country, and what is just an accident and is not enough to be lawful. After the turn of the year, we will work together to make sense of the content, which is justified and convincing! ”

Everyone agreed, and morale was high for a while.

Wang Yaochen said with some hesitation: "What about Master Yan?" Do you want him to wait until the next year to return to Beijing? ”

"Naturally, it's going to be after the year. For such a big thing, he didn't go to Jingxi Road to walk around, take a look, ask the people about their suffering, how could he go back to Beijing to make a business? I'll go and tell him about it, and you don't need to worry. ”

According to Yan Shu's temperament, Xu Ping was confident that he could move him and let him stay on Jingxi Road for a few months. It is normal for a minister to go to the local area to deal with such an important matter, and a few months. That is to say, Jingxi Road is close, and if you want to go to Guangnan West Road, you will have to walk for several months on the light road. It's just that there is a year in between, and it's just a little unkind that he can't go home for reunion. However, it is nothing to have his daughter in Luoyang, and she is Yan Shu's favorite daughter.

Yang said: "If Yan returns to Beijing after the New Year, the ticket of Henan Mansion will not be able to be paid this year, and the states and counties of the road have no money in their hands, what will they do next year?" Spring ploughing and spring planting, but money is inseparable everywhere. ”

"First of all, take the flight ticket in the hand of Henan Mansion as the book, and the transshipment envoy will print the bill, replace the copper coin, and send it to the state and county and the camp field! This bill is only circulated in the yamen of the government, and is not allowed to flow to the people, so as to solve the urgent need. When the ticket is cashed in the future, you can exchange the ticket for money. Anyway, it is only used in various yamen, and it does not affect people's livelihood. If the payment is to be made to the people, the transit envoy and the yamen of the prefectures and counties will guarantee it, and the copper money will be borrowed from the money bank, and all the real money will be used! ”

Zhao Yan said: "I have always used iron money there, but I am not worried that there is no money to use, but is it enough in other states and counties?" ”

Xu Ping said: "I roughly calculated, it's about the same." This year, there is a lot of copper in the copper mine in Dengzhou, and I have already played it, so I don't understand it and enter the Beijing Division, so I will stay in our Jingxi Road and mint money by myself. These newly minted copper coins, when the time comes, will really not work, and the iron coins you have there will also be used all the way, so they should be enough. ”

The ticket corresponds to a large amount of payment, and Jingxi Road does not need to spend a lot of copper money on the road because it is mainly for the sale of goods. Between the roads, large amounts of money between the people are in the accounts of the bank, and there will be no shortage of means of payment. The real influence is that the people have less silk as money, and then a business has developed, and the number of copper coins needed has surged, which is the real lack of copper coins. Xu Ping's idea was to rely on the newly minted copper coins of the Fu Financial Supervisor, and then the private copper coins collected by a money bank to fill the vacancy. The economic system of this era is simple, and the economic control and statistical means of Jingxi Road are not comparable to other places, Xu Ping has roughly estimated that the copper coins stored in this road are enough for private commercial circulation in the next year.

The bills issued by the transshipment envoy are circulated on the road, and serve as a means of payment between the official yamen, which can only be a temporary emergency measure, and cannot buy things from the outside, and this means of payment will depreciate rapidly over time, and cannot last long.
