Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 543 Fooling Song Huizong!
As we all know, banknotes are issued on credit.

To exchange trade between countries, you must let the other party know what you can buy with your currency, how much you can buy, and how to measure its value.

Without anchors, banknotes lose their basis for circulation and exchange.

The paper currency is linked to it and can provide it with a basis for measurement, which can be called the anchor of the currency.

The anchors of currencies in the world are very diverse.

For example, some countries now use oil as an anchor, and when oil rises sharply, the currency will increase in value and have the basis for a large number of issuances, and vice versa.

However, some countries have strong national strength and credit is the master, so they can issue credit according to the situation of the world economy.

The anchor can be gold or land.

The advantage of gold is that the currency is very strong and keeps its value, and its credit is high.Natural value preservation, depositing in the bank is value-added.

Anchor land.As far as modern times are concerned, Huaxia has unique conditions in this regard, and the land is owned by the state.Under certain circumstances, he can increase the price significantly, which creates a basis for continuing to print and issue currency on a large scale.

Assuming that one mu of land corresponds to the issuance of 1000 yuan of currency, when the value of one mu of land rises to 1 yuan, the amount of currency issued can theoretically increase by 10 times.

In short, now that Zhou Ji created this opportunity, he just wanted to suppress Wu Zhi, bring back Wu Zhi's national policy, and damage his prestige and achievements.

Converting banknotes back to gold is a good way.

In order to prevent Da Song gold from going out and turning into depreciated banknotes, the currency must be converted back into gold in order to continue to circulate and maintain economic stability.

Zhou Ji said again: "No matter what decision His Majesty makes, I will support it."

Cai Jing: "Your Majesty, if this continues, the economy of the Song Dynasty may be in chaos!"

Wang Fu: "Your Majesty, it's still too late to change back!"

Huang Chuan: "My minister seconded the proposal! Now is a period of turmoil, please make a decision early!"

Zhao Shu: "Father, my son is also watching in Bianjing City today. Now the streets and alleys are full of people who want to exchange gold. It's better to exchange the currency, otherwise there will be chaos!"

With so many noisy voices coming from his ears, Song Huizong frowned, a little tangled and distressed.

He and Wu Zhi have been working on paper money for a long time, and finally got on the right track, and this kind of thing happened again.

Wu Zhi is not here, it will be very unfavorable if he does not return!

Song Huizong: "The rest of Aiqing, what do you think? Should I change or continue to maintain the status quo?"

Suddenly Wang Wei stood up, cupped his hands, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Wang Wei's words attracted the attention of the courtiers present, and they cast their gazes over.

Song Huizong was also struggling, so he said: "Wang Aiqing, if you have any thoughts, just say it!"

Wang Wei said: "Your Majesty, banknotes have already been circulated in our Great Song Dynasty. If they are abandoned halfway, the good situation in the future will be completely abolished!"

"Weichen is in charge of the household department, and he still has some knowledge about the current situation of banknotes. Now there are more and more banks in the Song Dynasty, and their development is growing. Now the number of new banks has reached more than 1. It's something that didn't happen before!"

"This shows that the economy of the Song Dynasty is growing steadily, and the transactions of goods are becoming more and more frequent. Paper money improves the transaction efficiency and also increases the annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty. Song economy develops!"

"Gold is limited, but paper currency can expand infinitely, and it is convenient for the people of the Song Dynasty to use in daily communication. At present, there is only a temporary instability, and it is not possible to exchange it back!"

"Currently the common people want to exchange for gold, His Majesty can open the treasury to release the gold. Gold is not only in the treasury. If it is exchanged, the credit is still there, and the banknotes can be restored in the future. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shu frowned, and immediately retorted: "Wang Wei, if the banknotes become worthless and the treasury's gold is released, then there will be no money left, and the treasury's wealth will be emptied overnight. Can you take the responsibility?"

"Father has his own judgment, there is no need for a courtier to teach Father how to do things!"

Zhao Shu knew that Wang Wei was Wu Zhi's man, and he finally had the opportunity to suppress Wu Zhi, so he definitely didn't want anyone to hinder him.

Without Wu Zhi, he would definitely be the prince.

With Wu Zhi, his crown prince position is a bit mysterious, because Zhao Gou and Wu Zhi are relatively close.This made Zhao Shu have to guard against and worry, so it is best to get rid of Wu Zhi as soon as possible.

From his point of view, this is not necessarily wrong.

Zhao Shu continued: "Father, Lord Wang means to throw out the money from the national treasury, and turn all the gold in the Song Dynasty into waste paper! The treasury has lost nothing! How can this be done, it is simply absurd!"

Seeing Zhao Shu jump like this, Wu Zhi's people knew they couldn't let them talk like this.

Li Gefei stood up: "Your Majesty, I feel that Lord Wang's words are reasonable. After spending so much energy on the promotion of banknotes, and suddenly changing them back to gold, the banknotes will be completely invalid. All the previous hard work has become in vain!
The banknotes have only encountered some problems at present, but they are not so serious. Compared with the future benefits of the banknotes, this difficulty is nothing. "

Zhao Shu glared at Li Gefei: "Master Li, the national treasury is running short, don't you think this is not serious?"

"..." Li Gefei met Zhao Shu's cannibalistic eyes, and was about to say something.

Song Huizong: "What is going on with this matter?"

At this moment, Kang Wang Zhao Gou stood up.

"Father, my son has something to say!"

"Oh? Kang Wang, but it's okay to say!"

"In Erchen's opinion, this matter still needs to be investigated, and someone must be obstructing it, wanting to abolish banknotes and affect the economy of the Song Dynasty.

Now the common people feel that paper money is worthless, and they should stick to it at this moment. Everything is waiting for the news of the war on the small island to make a decision! "

"If Prime Minister Wu can destroy the island, there will naturally be no rumors of a lack of gold, and the paper currency will recover its value!"

"At present, there are people spreading rumors everywhere in the market. This is done on purpose. They must not be allowed to succeed!"

Cai Jing: "The small island is so far away from us, and it's on the sea, so it won't be so fast if you want to destroy it. I'm afraid that by the time it is abolished, the banknotes will already be worthless. Your Majesty will be the one to lose!"

Zhao Shu nodded: "Kang Kang's thinking is too simple!

The two countries are at war, how could the result come out so quickly, and Wu Zhi is not a god. In the current situation, a decision needs to be made as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. "

Zhao Gou's face was very ugly, and he still counted on Wu Xiang to support him, and he wanted to be the prince.

When Wu Xiang went out to fight, these people started to make trouble.

If Prime Minister Wu is here, how can this group of people be allowed to be presumptuous!
Zhao Gou was angry but didn't dare to vent it.

But he insisted: "Father, my son thought that Wu Xiang was brave and invincible. He was able to defeat the enemy in several battles in the past. What is a small island? Attacking a small island, I thought that there would be news of victory soon. , You don’t need to wait long at all. I ask Father to be patient for a few days.”

Hearing this, Zhou Ji smiled: "Your Majesty, King Kang is still young, and his thinking is too simple, and the attack on the island is not so fast, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not too late!

The only way now is to exchange the currency back!Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous! "

Song Huizong still loved money, Zhou Ji, Zhao Shu and others kept saying in the court that the state treasury would be short-lived.

Song Huizong also became a little anxious.

Among them, Zhou Ji is the most proud, because he came up with the idea and disturbed the market.

He didn't expect that the people of Song Dynasty were so easy to fool, and they could achieve such an effect by spreading rumors casually.

He knew that Wu Zhi must be dead this time.

If there is a problem with the banknotes, he is the first to be held accountable.

Didn't you say that the promotion of banknotes is no problem before, but now there is a big problem, let's see how Wu Zhi ends up?

As for the small island, the corners of Zhou Ji's mouth curled up. He didn't believe that someone could destroy the small island so quickly. After all, the two places were separated by sea, so it was not so convenient to fight.

Song Huizong hesitated again and again, and said: "I think it's better to wait for Prime Minister Wu to come back and talk about it! Before the Song Dynasty sent reinforcements, Prime Minister Wu's army went very smoothly on the island. Maybe the island has been destroyed now. If If the island is destroyed, those rumors among the people will also disintegrate!"

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Wu is proficient in everything, but the two places are separated by sea, it will not be a matter of time to completely occupy the island, so we have to wait at least three months during this period, I'm afraid Paper money will be worthless by then!"

Cai Jing really didn't expect that Zhou Ji, the person under him, could do such a good job, mixing up the banknotes.

Now in the court, it is only one breath away, and it can be abolished.

Cai Jing knew that as long as His Majesty issued such an imperial decree, all the efforts of the Song Dynasty paper money would be in vain.

Moreover, nearby countries have begun to use paper currency as exchange currency, and if they suddenly exchange it for gold, there will be huge losses.

In terms of credit, it is almost irreversible.

But they don't care, a group of people stood up and kept flickering to scare Zhao Ji!
Song Huizong did not have Wu Zhi in charge, and at this moment, seeing the divergent opinions of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, he was a little at a loss.

Don't know what to do.

Cai Jing and the others said that it would take at least several months for Prime Minister Wu to come back, and a decision had to be made, and it would be too late.

A few people said one sentence to another, which made Song Huizong feel a little anxious.

It seemed that if he didn't order again, everything would be irreversible, so Song Huizong couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhou Ji said again: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

Zhou Ji knelt in the court hall, with a look on his face that I was doing it for His Majesty's good, as if he was the most loyal person, for His Majesty, and for the good of Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

The rest of the courtiers knelt down one after another.

At this moment, Zhou Ji was also sneering in his heart: Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi, you are so powerful, I am afraid that you will fall into my hands one day, right?

He Zhou Ji is just a servant of the household department, not even a minister, and his words are of little weight in front of Wu Zhi on weekdays.

In the end, it was him who could get rid of Wu Zhi.

If Wu Zhi really fell, he will have contributed a lot, and it is also a very big achievement!

"That's the only way I can do it...Come here, quickly draw up an order to exchange all the currency back to gold..."

Song Huizong hadn't finished speaking yet, the civil and military officials below, Cai Jing, Zhou Ji, Huang Chuan, Zhao Shu, Wang Fu and others all looked ecstatic.

On the surface, they didn't show any exaggerated expressions, but they wanted to jump up in their hearts.

This is the first time they have united to suppress Wu Zhi, and they succeeded!

Without Wu Zhi in the court, it would be too easy for them to fool the officials!

The key situation is like this, and the officials can't help it!

Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi, you didn't expect this time, the old man finally won you once.

Cai Jing took a deep breath, feeling unprecedentedly happy. He couldn't wait to wait for Wu Zhi to come back to see his face after the banknotes were abolished.

Doesn't Wu Zhi want to reform and innovate?
Now his people have abolished paper money.

When you come back, you will no longer be the original Wu Zhi.

The higher the credit, the harder the fall!

Once one thing is done wrong, and some people want to do big things in the future, some people jump out to refute, and the officials may not trust Wu Zhi at that time, then he will be finished.

Cai Jinghuyou felt a sense of joy, as if he had returned to the feeling that there was no Wu Zhi in the court before, and he and Zeng Bu were fighting each other to control the overall situation.

All Cai Jing, the veterans, and Zhao Shu were overjoyed.

And the people on Wu Zhi's side, as well as Zhao Gou, looked very ugly.

But they thought too much, just when Song Huizong couldn't suppress his inner impatience, he completely issued the imperial edict, and when Cai Jing and others were ecstatic that they were only one step away from success, someone suddenly rushed into the hall.

"Report!...Sea news!"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked sideways.

Song Huizong was shocked: "Report quickly!"

The visitor knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Minister Wu led the whole army into the Kojimakura Shogunate and killed the Emperor. Fujiyama, who is actually in charge of the Kojima, has already occupied the territory of the Kojima. This battle is a great victory!"

Manchu civil and military uproar!

Those vicious glances that swept over him one after another made him want to kill the person in front of him.

"What? Say it again!" Song Huizong stood up.

The visitor said again: "Your Majesty, the military minister has broken through the Cang Shogunate, beheaded the emperor of the island, defeated all the troops on the island, and occupied the island. The island was destroyed by the military minister!..."
