How to make those merchants willing to use Jiaozi, this is a problem for them, but it is not a problem, because for Hualang, Jiaozi at this time can not solve the problem, if the court does not force it, they had better not force the merchants to use Jiaozi, after all, if the court can't take out the silver when the merchants exchange, then the credibility of the court will be reduced, so that if the court has any edicts, the people here may not believe it.

Li Jingan also thought the same, he didn't want the merchants of Chang'an City to make a fuss about this matter.

But things were not as simple as they thought, because on the third day when Li Jing'an discussed the matter with Hualang, the imperial court issued another order, ordering Chang'an City to exchange 500,000 taels of silver.

500,000 taels is definitely not a small amount in the Song Dynasty, even if a merchant takes out 10,000 taels of silver per family, I am afraid it will take 50 families, but although Chang'an City is rich, there are probably not many people who can take out 10,000 taels at once.

Li Jingan felt a lot of pressure for this matter, and he had no choice but to invite Hua Lang, after Hua Lang read the official documents of the imperial court, he felt that this matter was indeed a bit difficult for strong people, but no matter what, they had to do it, but Hua Lang and Li Jingan knew very well that if they put pressure, they would definitely be able to raise so much silver, what should they do when they can exchange it later?

"Lord Li, after collecting this silver, will it be given to the imperial court immediately?"

Li Jingan nodded: "It stands to reason that yes, because the imperial court is in great need of silver now, and after we receive the silver, we must hand it over as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Li Jing'an's words, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and asked after a long time, "Then how long did the imperial court give to raise this silver?" ”

"It's about two months, it takes two months to raise silver, and it takes about half a month to send it to the capital, that is, we only have two and a half months."

Hua Lang's brows condensed slightly, and after a long time, he nodded: "Maybe two and a half months is enough!" ”

"What did the dude come up with?"

Hua Lang nodded: "Jiaozi can't last, so we must come up with a way to fill the void as soon as possible, if those merchants come to exchange silver, what will we give them?" ”

"This ......" Li Jingan was a little embarrassed, after the silver was handed over, he, the Chang'an Mansion, would definitely not be able to take out this lot of silver, but he could ask the court for it, could the court have the silver?

After a long time, Li Jingan asked, "What does the playboy want to do?" ”

"It's very simple, I want to do business with the imperial court!"

"Doing business with the imperial court?"

Hua Lang nodded: "If the imperial court wants to have silver, it should also do business like a merchant, otherwise, it will be difficult to become rich and strong only by relying on the taxes of the people." ”

"Yes...... But I'm afraid this is difficult, how can the imperial court do business casually, if this is spread out, wouldn't it make people laugh? ”

"Lord Li misunderstood, the court doing business in the following is not for the court officials to do business, but for the court to control some profiteering industries, the profits generated by these profiteering industries can be arbitrarily disposed of by the state, and some other industries, the court can join in and extract profits from them, which is much stronger than issuing Jiaozi to cheat businessmen."

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Li Jingan was suddenly startled and said: "Listening to the meaning of the playboy, it seems that he is not ready to implement the issuance of this Jiaozi?" ”

Hua Lang smiled lightly: "Implement, of course it must be implemented, if it is not implemented, where will the imperial court have the capital to invest, what I just said is just how to spend the money after receiving it, if it is managed properly, before the merchant exchanges silver, maybe we will be able to earn the money back." ”

Li Jingan nodded: "What the playboy said is indeed a good way, but if you want to implement it, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

"I know this, so if you want to implement it, you must get the emperor's consent."

"But how could the emperor agree?"

Hua Lang smiled: "Naturally, I want to recommend the ministers of the DPRK and China!" ”

"But how could they possibly know what the playboy was thinking?"

"I'll fix a book for my regular friends."

After saying this, Hua Lang wrote a letter to Bao Zheng, who was often in charge of the palace, and wrote all the things that the court needed to control the profiteering industries and what industries it needed to cooperate with, and asked Bao Zheng to unite some forces in the court to persuade the emperor, as long as the emperor agreed, they could immediately persuade the businessmen to change money.

The letter written by Hua Lang was very long, but it was very easy to understand, and he believed that with Bao Zheng's ingenuity, he would be able to understand the meaning, and all they had to do was wait for news in Chang'an City.

The news did not come very quickly, it took about five days to come back, Bao Zheng's reply was very long, but the content was not much, that is, the court agreed to Hua Lang's suggestion, and had sent relevant personnel to make arrangements, as soon as the silver arrived, they immediately put the silver into it.

In the letter, in addition to saying this, Bao Zheng also said some parting feelings between their friends, and later told them how they persuaded the emperor.

It turned out that after Bao Zheng received Hua Lang's letter, he felt that this was indeed a good way, but he also knew very well that it was not easy to convince the emperor, but when Bao Zheng entered the palace to face the saint, a major incident happened in Kaifeng.

Because the issuance of Jiaozi needs to be experimented, and the most suitable place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where rich businessmen gather, it is easiest to gather property, and because it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, what happens is easy for the court to control, so as not to make things bigger.

At the beginning, the frequent merchants exchanged a lot of Jiaozi from their homes because of the pressure from the imperial court, so the imperial court gathered a large amount of silver in a short period of time, because of this, the imperial court felt that it was okay to issue Jiaozi, so it assigned tasks to the states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty to fill the treasury.

But what people never expected was that not long after Jiaozi was issued, those businessmen shouted to exchange Jiaozi for money, and they were blocked back by some officials at first, this wall is terrible, these businessmen saw that their interests were threatened, so they resisted, although their resistance was not violent, but it was very difficult to control, that is, they boycotted the market, so in just one day, the entire capital was chaotic, whether it was the people or officials, even if they held a lot of silver in the capital, But they can't buy anything, and the court has no way to deal with these merchants, because they are free to buy and sell, they can sell if they want, and they don't sell if they don't want to.
