Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 457 Threats!

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have brought banknotes of various amounts with me, and I can show them to you adults!"

While Wu Zhi was speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.

In various amounts, in different colors.

Wu Zhi didn't bring a big suitcase, just this kind of model, a few cards of different amounts are enough.

When Wu Zhi took out the things, curious eyes swept across the hall, focusing on the banknotes in his hand.

Although they are not happy with the issuance of banknotes, they are a little curious about what the banknotes look like.

If the money is really made like paper, wouldn't it be no different from the ghost money burned for the dead?

Isn't that just for the dead?

From a distance, Guo Feiming saw the banknotes in Wu Zhi's hand, glanced at them, smiled, his old face squeezed like bark, and then cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I feel that the banknotes in Wu Zhi's hands are the same as those burned by the people in the Qingming period. The ghost coin of the dead is almost the same, how can such a thing be used by the living!"

Wang Fu looked curiously: "Is this the banknote?"

Wang Fu and the ministers around him felt unlucky looking at it.

Can this thing really be used by living people?
They don't say it's useful, but even if they take a look at it, they feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Or do you feel more comfortable holding gold and silver in your hands?

Many courtiers shook their heads, not agreeing with Wu Zhi's stuff.

Song Huizong: "Okay, all Aiqings, hold it in your hand and see it first!"

At this time, Guo Feiming also came over and took a note to examine.

His eyes were disgusted.

I feel unlucky.

However, when he held the banknotes in his hands, he felt a little different. Although they were banknotes, they were not exactly paper, and had a nice hand feel.

A closer look reveals that some details of the banknotes have golden light appearing, the texture is very good, and there is a relatively large amount on it, one hundred.

On the right is the majestic portrait of Taizu.

Banknotes of different amounts have different colors and sizes, and the color and some details on them will change.

And touching it, you will find that there are many different textures on a piece of paper. He doesn't know how a piece of paper is made so miraculously.

I can't understand it, it's really special.

In the end, Guo Feiming looked at the five yuan one, and found that it was indeed Wu Zhi's head portrait, which made him feel awkward.

The others are the portraits of officials, but the five yuan one is actually a courtier.

Ha ha.

This Wu Zhi is really capable. Apart from the officials of the past dynasties, Wu Zhi is the only minister in the banknote pattern. It is ridiculous to think about it.

Last time he didn't object so strongly, after what happened with Yan Yun, Guo Feiming felt more and more that they would all oppose Wu Zhi's matter.

Prince Zhao Heng next to him, as well as Cai Jing, Li Gefei, Wang Fu and others also looked at it one after another.

Including the rest of the ministers present, they forwarded it one after another, and everyone read it again.

There was a lot of discussion on the spot.

They have a feeling inside, what feeling?

I think this thing should not have appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Because it's so delicate.

Although it is said to be banknotes, when held in the hand, it is amazing to see its details and feel.

From the perspective of these laymen, it is impossible to imagine how such delicate paper is made!

They can't read it, and they really can't understand it.

They also have to admit that the paper is doing very well.

But they objected to Wu Zhi making paper money, no matter how good it was.

It is impossible to change the position.

They looked at each other, and the veteran Guo Feiming came out to speak again: "Your Majesty, this is really a banknote! If you want to issue this kind of banknote, something so easily damaged, it will definitely not work!"

"If people's homes accidentally caught fire, wouldn't all their belongings in this life be burned?"

"I see, only gold and silver are good things. You can keep them for a long time without fear of water and fire. No matter how long you put them, you won't worry about them being damaged. Even if they are in a humid environment, a hot environment, or soaked in water, the interests of the people will not be affected. If the banknotes are even slightly stained, the people may go bankrupt. You adults have also seen the banknotes, and such shortcomings cannot be changed!"

Is what Guo Feiming said wrong?

He was right.

Gold and silver are indeed better preserved than paper money.

But this is just for preservation. Where is the convenience of banknotes in circulation?

But there's nothing wrong with him saying that, and you can't find anything wrong with it.

Guo Feiming just took a fancy to the weakness to attack.

However, this is just a weakness he thought, how could Wu Zhi be unprepared.

But before he could speak, Li Gefei, who was not far away, came out: "Your Majesty, although banknotes are not as easy to preserve as gold and silver, they can save a lot of time and labor costs. This is the desired result of banknote issuance.

As for the issue of preservation, after all, fire and flood disasters are rare cases, and the overall situation is still more beneficial to the Song Dynasty, so the problem Mr. Guo said is not a big problem. On the contrary, if banknotes can be popularized, it will be a good thing that really benefits the country and the people! "

Hearing this, Wu Zhi nodded, looked at Li Gefei, secretly thinking that he was not promoted in vain, and he could still stand up and speak at critical times.

Don't underestimate those who speak, the situation in the court is through debates, this is well said, and the result will come out as soon as the situation comes.

Of course, for a person like Wu Zhi who speaks a lot, as long as Song Huizong trusts him, it may be useful or useless to have someone to help him speak, but it is good to have more people to speak.

Wu Zhi looked at the people behind him.

It doesn't matter if no one else comes out to speak. If he is alone, he can block a group of people.

At this time, he looked at Shangshu Hubu.

Hubu Shangshu lowered his head.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, looked at Prince Zhao Heng, Guo Feiming, and at the back of Prime Minister Wu.

There is a choice between the two. The prince is the future official. Once the prince ascends the throne, in such a confrontational situation, the military minister's official position cannot be guaranteed.

If he is on the side of Wu Xiang, after the crown prince ascends the throne, not to mention Wu Xiang, everyone who is on Wu Xiang's side will be affected, and his life may even be in danger.

Unless the prince cannot ascend the throne, or the officials can continue to reign for decades, there is no problem.

Hey.

It's really hard to choose!
He is Zeng Bu's man after all, originally he wanted to follow Zeng Bu well, but Zeng Bu is old after all, after retirement, he wanted to follow Wu Zhi to deal with Cai Jing and the others.

However, the problem now is that Wu Zhi killed the prince's teacher Zhang Lingduo, causing Zhao Heng and Wu Zhi to stand on opposite sides.

It is very dangerous to fight against the prince.

Not surprisingly, the prince is definitely a future official.

However, Wu Zhi has made great contributions, his power, status, and his ability, as well as Song Huizong's trust in him now, made Wang Wei again difficult.

If the prince is taken down by Wu Zhi in the future, it will be bad for his future if he fails to stand on Wu Zhi's side in time.

He is the Minister of the Household Department, one day Wu Zhi sees that he is not going well, he can get him down at any time.

As for how to choose, Wang Wei had no choice but to be firm in his inner thoughts.

Zeng Bu is his mentor, and Wu Zhi is capable, so it is impossible to sit back and watch the rise of the prince.

He still intends to stand on Wu Zhi's side.

Wang Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that Master Li's words are reasonable. The issuance of banknotes is beneficial to the country and the people. It should be sooner rather than later. It should not be delayed because of preservation issues. Although gold and silver are good, they are too heavy after all. I support the issuance !"

The attitude of this statement is obvious.

Obviously, Wang Wei didn't play tricks on the wall, nor was he neutral, but chose Wu Zhi's side.

Wu Zhi nodded.

Prince Zhao Heng suddenly looked at Wang Wei. Wang Wei hadn't had such a clear attitude before, did he choose to side with Wu Zhi now?

Zhao Heng glared at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei's face paled in an instant, and he pulled his head together, not daring to look up.

Realized that I seemed to be taking sides too early.

In fact, this is not wise. He should be ambiguous and keep a neutral wait-and-see.

The disadvantage is that he may not be favored by the military minister.But to stand on the prince's side, Wang Wei thought of the means of Wu Xiang, he didn't dare...

In short, being targeted by the prince is definitely not a good thing.

He felt a little flustered.

The prince's eyes were clearly threatening him.

At this moment, Wu Zhi noticed this scene.
