I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 217

In the past month, the investigation department and the guard battalion have stopped selling new coins, but the people who come and go with the state capitals and counties have never stopped.

Not doing anything, just transporting new coins to various places according to the distribution of His Royal Highness, small amount and many times, or pretending to be a merchant, or dispatching as an official, or even dragging the family.

Now, it should be said that most of the state capitals and counties in the country, Zhao Xi has already prepared enough new coins.

As far as the number is concerned, it is impossible to get accurate statistics in this era. Zhao Xi can only ask Zhang Fangping for the income of the prefectures and counties in the past five years based on the grain production collected last time.

Then, using these two as a reference, make a rough, vague estimate.

Zhao Xi originally wanted to exchange it that day, but in the end he let it go... Enemies all over the court are not the behavior of a wise man.

A three-day speech shocked the entire court.

There was a burst of cynicism brewing at first, but Fu Bi's formal questioning turned it back.

The conversation between Xianggong and the prince, or such a formal conversation in the court... This is no longer a debate, but a conclusion.

Controversy, several court debates about the old and new coins are all based on the fact that the new coins cannot meet the ease of use in the market.Whether it is relying on water transport to transport copper ore, or the nine money supervisors in the country to make all the money, it is all to solve the situation of insufficient minting of new coins.

Now, His Majesty the Crown Prince opened his mouth, and he has taken away the basis of the debate. What else is there to argue about?

Regarding the three-day words of His Highness the Crown Prince... Do you believe it or not?
Reason, interests, His Royal Highness's judgment on past work, the evaluation of the country's ability to make coins... one by one, information flooded into his mind.What should I do?
If what His Royal Highness the Prince said cannot be realized, the exchange rate between old and new coins will inevitably be raised again.If what His Highness the Crown Prince said is true, let alone making money, the new coins you are holding in your hands now will all be lost to grandma's house.

As for money, there are money on the left and right!
Zhao Xi had discussed with his father at first, and when the court meeting decided on the exchange, he made the exchange of new currency a military matter and asked the courtiers to keep it secret.

After thinking about it, forget it.

In the past half a year, there are almost enough to catch, and the relatives and relatives are all working, the leeks that should be cut have also been cut, and the fat pigs that should be slaughtered probably don't have much meat left.

So, just let it go.Besides, Zhao Xi didn't think that the scholar-bureaucrat was close to a real merchant, except of course his own spokesperson.

As for their own family...there is no hope if it is too far away, there should be no express delivery from the imperial court... After saving for so many years, it is time to do bloodletting.

Three days is very fast, especially for those who are thinking, struggling and hesitating, but after this day, they are always uneasy.

Early in the morning, the yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion went out, and the Shangguan arranged that they must be notified to every lifang and all the people: starting today, they will start exchanging new currency, one penny for one penny, unlimited.

Shangguan also said that the exchange is voluntary, and the government does not force it.

When these yamen servants distributed their salaries, they also had new coins, but they were not willing to spend them all the time, and they were still waiting for the price to rise again... Unexpectedly, when they woke up, every penny was still a penny.

If I had known it had been exchanged in the past few days, it was almost three or four pennies!

Annoyance is annoyance, and I am not at a loss.

You have to notify them quickly, and you have to maintain order when it's over.

The exchange of new currency has always been a busy thing to do, even for those rich and powerful, and the new currency cannot be seen.

Today the imperial court opened up the exchange, and those rich and noble people...you know what's going to happen after thinking about it.

Kaifeng Mansion has set up nearly a hundred exchange points today, and even borrowed part of the office of the government office, just to exchange new currency.

After all, there are too many people in Bianliang.

Even so, he was still afraid of a run, so he asked the imperial court to assign forbidden troops to assist in the exchange.With so much cash piled up, I was also worried about bad guys making trouble.

In fact, all the state capitals and counties in the country are the same.The local officials also knew that it was no small matter. This matter has been noisy for nearly half a year, and if it is released all of a sudden, there is a real possibility of chaos.

Chen Xu, Uncle Chen Yang, has the right to know Kaifeng Mansion this year as a privy direct bachelor.

Except for Bao Zheng who was in office for more than one year in Kaifeng Mansion, none of the previous magistrates had passed the year.

I have only been seven or eight months old, and Chen Xu didn't want to be impeached for exchanging new currency, so he was busy early in the morning.

How much enthusiasm do you have to say?No!It's just seeking his own government in his place.Thinking about my own family, at least I didn't have any doubts about His Royal Highness's words, and took advantage of the three-day gap to exchange all the exchanges.

However, some are still lost.After all, some new coins were exchanged by my family at a high price during this period.Originally, I wanted to make some money, but it turned out like this...

Colleagues still have sticklers, because based on the copper mines transported by water, and the ability of the country to make coins over the years, no matter how they calculate, it is impossible for the new money supervisor to have more than one million new coins. possible.

However, most of those who knew His Highness the Crown Prince released the accumulated new coins in these three days, and the exchange ratio was suppressed for a while.From the original one pair of three or four papers, it has become one paper to two papers... There is no way, no one is sure that the court will be able to do this, so the exchange ratio has come down.

Chen Shi just arrived, and the exchange point, which was thought to be looted, was actually deserted.

It's just that under the lintels of every shop around, there are bustling people, but no one comes to exchange.

Chen Xu is still waiting for the exchange point on the Fuya side to be ready, so he can take a look around.It must be a while, right?It should have been for a while, but Chen Xu didn't know how long it was. He felt that it was very long, as if it was very short.

Walk over and be the first to redeem.He is a coolie, from the clothes and the vicissitudes of life on his face, it all proves that he is a coolie, a fart.

"A penny for a penny?"

"Yes! The imperial court stipulates that one penny is one penny!"

"Is it the kind of new money from rich and noble people, the bright one?"

"I don't know if it's what I said... that's all I promise."

The official in charge of the exchange couldn't explain clearly to this person, so he threw a new coin.

"Yes, yes, I've seen it, that's it. Is it really a penny for a penny?"

I still don't believe it, as if the government is trying to cheat him out of his few copper coins.

"It's really a penny for a penny."

It is estimated that if you talk nonsense again, the official will get annoyed.If you want to exchange, hurry up, if you don’t want to exchange, go and cool off, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you.

"Then... I'll exchange it for three pens."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands and carefully took out three copper coins from his backpack. Fortunately, there was no iron coin.

"It's really new money! It's real!"

The new coins are beautiful and comfortable to hold.This man was rubbing a new coin in his hand, and wanted to yell, but suppressed his throat hard... I have seen it from afar, and from today, I can use new coins.

It started with this one, and then, the originally empty street was filled up in an instant.

At the same time, those imperial guards with all kinds of thoughts were also shouted to start maintaining order.
