Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 435 Banknotes!Three more!
In fact, Song Huizong's consideration was not unreasonable. From the perspective of a small island, why would they go to Da Song to mine their own gold mines?

Can't they mine the wealth of their own country?

Hearing this, Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the island is a small country after all. If they want to cooperate with us, it will naturally be profitable."

"Maybe they don't have the technology for large-scale mining, or they just want to establish a cooperative relationship with Da Song, so that they will have a backer. They are not fools, and they must have something to gain!"

"The details of this, you only need to go there and you will probably know it!"

Song Huizong nodded: "What Prime Minister Wu said makes sense. If the cooperation is really negotiated, our Song Dynasty will continue to deliver resources, and then we can turn gold mines into gold coins, including silver mines and copper mines. Copper coins, this will promote the economy of the Song Dynasty!"

Song Huizong was quite satisfied.

When Wu Zhi heard this topic, his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, when it comes to this coin, I have been thinking about it recently!"

"Oh? What is Prime Minister Wu thinking about? You might as well tell me!"

Song Huizong asked.

Wu Zhi pretended to be worried, and then said: "It's like this, Your Majesty, I have been thinking about a problem for the past few days. The population of the Song Dynasty has increased, and the territory has also increased. If you use physical gold and silver, it will always be exhausted." At that time, Weichen was thinking about what can replace these heavy objects, which can improve the economy of Song Dynasty!"

"Weichen suddenly thought of something yesterday, which is to use paper money instead of gold and silver!"

"Paper money instead of gold and silver?" Song Huizong was taken aback, feeling a little strange: "Go on!"

Wu Zhi: "Make a special banknote to improve its water resistance and fire resistance to a certain extent, and add some amount on the banknote instead of the amount of silver taels!"

"In this way, the common people in the world can save a lot of troubles when transporting materials. It saves time and cost!"

"And this kind of paper money is essentially converted with gold as the basis. Only in this way can the minerals in our Great Song Dynasty be circulated. Otherwise, relying solely on ore will consume too much resources!"

"These ores are made into silver, and when all the resources are not enough, Da Song will fall into economic risk!"

"It's just about how to implement this banknote. It needs His Majesty's help to use it in the Song Dynasty!"

After Song Huizong heard this, he nodded: "Mr. Wu's idea is good,...you can do this kind of thing yourself, and I will fully support it! At that time, you can dispatch anything you need in various departments. If you need my help, I will fully cooperate! "

Song Huizong had no doubts about Wu Zhi's ability at all.

Wu Zhi did everything for Da Song, he was very relieved, although he felt that this banknote was unreliable, but thinking of King Yan's ability, he was very confident, no matter whether he understood it or not, Wu Zhi would definitely be able to handle it. What's wrong.

Anyway, Song Huizong was a little bit flat, and he was happy to let Wu Zhi do everything.

In addition, he really didn't understand what Wu Zhi was thinking, and felt that his thinking was on a different level from Wu Zhi's.

Let's play poetry and painting by ourselves!
Song Huizong still misses his own Longevity Mountain. Recently, he has urged Cai Jing to build the Longevity Mountain quickly.

Hey, thinking of Long Live Mountain, this is another huge expense. These expenses need to be made up for. The ore materials on the small island are very good!

When Song Huizong was thinking, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Minister Wu, recently I received information that Yelu Dashi from the Liao Kingdom had escaped before, and now there is news!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Wu Zhi asked.

Song Huizong: "Then Yelu Dashi ran to Ye Mili, and it is said that he has established a certain force. Minister Wu, do you think this Yelu Dashi will come back one day?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the possibility of this Yelu Dashi coming back is not high. He fled there. If we don't chase after him, he will burn incense. How dare he come back?"

"Well, that's what Prime Minister Wu said!" Song Huizong heaved a sigh of relief.

Wu Zhi said again: "Your Majesty, back then, the Liao Kingdom had a large land and abundant resources, with many people and generals, and was also beaten back by the humble officials. Even if Yelu Dashi made a comeback, it was just a drop in the bucket. If he dared to come, the humble officials would beat him back. ! Even wipe them all out, not to mention they dare not come!"

"With your words, I am completely relieved!" Song Huizong smiled and said: "As long as there is King Yan in this court, I will feel at ease at any time. King Yan, you also know that I like to play with words and ink. , King Yan still has to work so hard!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is serious!"

Of course Wu Zhi wanted to be courteous.

He was also happy that Song Huizong didn't care about anything, so Wu Zhi could do whatever he wanted.

Just let him lie down.

Wu Zhi is willing to do these things, not to mention other things, which in itself has a sense of cultivation created by power.

If Da Song became more prosperous because of Wu Zhi's rapid economic development, this would be a good thing in life.

Although Wu Zhi felt that Song Huizong was not bad, but as a king, this guy was definitely a fool and didn't run away.

This is because Wu Zhi didn't do anything else, but if Wu Zhi had any intentions, Song Huizong would have to perish like this.

In fact, Song Huizong didn't care much about the economy, he just talked about it. He just wanted to live in a good palace, see Longevity Mountain, and was looking for something that would allow him to paint better.

Therefore, I am more concerned about the resources of the small island.

Wu Zhi and Song Huizong exchanged for a while and then went back.

Before leaving, he gave some pills so that Song Huizong could play a role on Concubine Liu Gui.

After returning to the mansion.

Wu Zhi found that in the past few days, there have been a lot of people coming to the door.

Because Wu Zhi became prime minister, many people came to visit and congratulate him.

Just the gift money alone has reached a value of several 10 taels.

These gift givers are not all officials, and some of them will come to give gifts without any official position. They want to be Wu Zhi's disciples and find a backer.

For these people, due to the large number, Wu Zhi really couldn't get them.

So let Pan Jinlian go to greet him, and Wu Zhi was busy with his own work in the room.

What is he doing in the room?

I saw Wu Zhi calmly drawing a person's appearance on a piece of paper.

This person is naturally Song Huizong, the art emperor of our Great Song Dynasty.

This Song Huizong's elder is quite blessed, and his appearance is very correct, although he looks a little weak, but he can also see a bit of majesty on his face. After all, he is an emperor, and his long-term pampering temperament is still a bit different.

Wu Zhi painted Song Huizong's portrait seriously, just like painting a beautiful woman. He painted all the details and lines of the clothes on the face and body vividly.

Because this is the head on the banknotes in the future.

This naturally needs to be done better.

With his own artistic talent, Wu Zhi still has a few brushes in painting.

As long as you paint carefully, it is very similar, and even in the gradual concentration, the painting is even more concentrated.

Then, Wu Zhi was drawing the amount of the banknote.

This amount is the same as in modern times, representing the size of money.

For example, ten yuan, 20 yuan, 30 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan and so on.

After finishing all this, Wu Zhi will ask someone to set up a mold, and use wood to brand the painting with a special technique, so that it can be branded on like printing in the future.

Of course, many processes are needed to make real banknotes, and this is just one of them.

During the production process, Wu Zhi didn't let anyone disturb him, even his wife and concubine were not allowed to come in.

After all, what Wu Zhi is doing is confidential and needs to be quiet.

After it was done, Wu Zhi looked at it and was very satisfied.

When he saw what he had made, he touched his chin with his right finger, and there was a twitch at the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that he was really a talent.

This painting is indeed the same as the real person.

No wonder Song Huizong liked painting, this sense of accomplishment is really satisfying!
However, Wu Zhi just typed up all the details of a draft, not to say that he really used his drawings to print on the coins.

For some things, it is more appropriate to let the art emperor do it.

"Tomorrow morning, let's talk about the banknotes!"

After Wu Zhi made his decision, he put away the things.

Go to Hu Sanniang's room and listen to the wonderful music of Ba Ji for a while.

On the second day, Wu Zhi went to court.

Wu Zhi has made a plan. At present, it is a matter of banknotes. As for the matter of the small island, Wu Zhi has sent someone to reply to let them negotiate. He will go there when he has time...

in the hall.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have already started working on the banknotes. Today I want to discuss the banknotes with Your Majesty..."

Song Huizong smiled and said: "Hey, Prime Minister Wu, I will leave this matter to you, and there is no need to report everything to me!"

Wu Zhi shook his head: "Your Majesty, other things can be done, but this matter can only be done by Your Majesty!"
