I, the King is a killer

Your majesty understood what you didn't understand in an instant.

As long as the meat is understood as copper money, everything will explain.

He also knows why merchants will raise prices, and why this is inevitable.

More importantly, the only mistake in this matter is your Majesty's order!

Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen to this policy that seems to have no problems?

Your majesty fell into silence.

He realized that it was his fault.

At the same time, I also understand why Leng Guozhu wants to tell this story. This is to avoid pointing out his mistakes in public!

Your majesty took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "it's a good story..."

After a long pause, he said, "let's write down the punishment of those merchants for the time being and don't deal with it too early. Instead, it's the tax collection... For various reasons, don't force the people to pay tax with copper money for the time being, but now it's still that problem. Copper money, but what good measures do you Aiqing have?"

While talking, he also looked at Leng Guozhu.

Leng Xiaohan seemed not to see his Majesty's eyes at all. He honestly returned to his position and looked at his heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

This makes your Majesty's teeth itch!

Civil and military officials also look at each other. To tell the truth, they really can't think of anything for a moment.

After all, this is an old-fashioned problem. If there were a way, someone would have raised it long ago.

At this time, everyone's eyes also glanced at Sangong intentionally or unintentionally.

As the three people with the highest status and rights above the court, they should be expected enough at this time.

Among the three masters, Zhao Wuji is in charge of this matter.

After thinking for a while, he came out and said, "Your Majesty, my old minister has a plan."

"Oh? Zhao Aiqing, please go ahead. "

"Now it's just that, in fact, it's not that there is not enough copper money, but because there are too many families and people hoarding copper money. Even the most ordinary families will have several pieces of money to deal with special moments. In addition, people need to save money for many years to buy houses and land, and even weddings and funerals, which leads to a large amount of copper money hoarding, All the copper money is kept at home, hidden in the wall and buried in the earth. Naturally, the copper money on the market is not enough. Therefore, the real feasible way is to treat the symptoms and root causes. We should start from the source. For example, people all over the world are not allowed to store too much copper money. In this way, the copper money is forced to flow to the market, the total amount of copper money will naturally increase, and the copper money is not enough, It will be solved accordingly. "

Your Majesty's eyes lit up.

Nodded and said, "yes, it's not only the people hoarding, but also the families of dignitaries. Which family doesn't have a lot of copper money Hoarding?"

He said so, and immediately an official echoed: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are some copper coins in all major families. It is said that the copper coins can even fill several houses in the houses of giant merchants. They are not used in ordinary days, but the smell of copper rust can float out of the land for several miles!"

Another official said: "moreover, if it is simply hoarding, since it is consumed, the copper money is embroidered too badly and can not be directly damaged. There are even a few such losses. In a few years, it can account for 10% of all copper money. The quantity is quite huge!"

"Yes, what Lord Wei said is very true. There is indeed such a loss. I have heard that some jewelry merchants have nowhere to buy copper. They even melt copper money and make all kinds of copper ware, but they don't know that the copper money casting is extremely costly. As soon as they come here, the cost of casting has become the full responsibility of our court. It's really... Ah, "Let go of the basics."

"Yes, yes, yes! This is indeed the case. It is said that some workshops will do the same when there is a shortage of copper materials! "

A group of guys who had no opinion before suddenly became aware of it.

And it's right.

Obviously, they all thought about it, but they had no way to deal with it.

That's what an official is.

Many people see the problem!

People are not blind.

They can see what anyone can see.

As for not saying?

Because as an official, if you want to talk about this matter, you can't just see it, you must also be able to say a solution, and this solution must be very reliable, which can really solve these things.

Otherwise

What do you say it does?

See something wrong, say it directly, and then throw the problem to your majesty for your majesty to do?

This is not bullshit!

The most important thing to be an official is not the eyes, but the hands.

Seeing things is not ability. Being able to solve things is ability!

Therefore, people always think that some officials are blind, deaf, indifferent and unknown. In fact, they see, but they have no solution. What can they do? It can only be regarded as invisible!

Pretending to be stupid and dumb is originally part of the way of being an official.

Your majesty listened to all kinds of problems they said, and he also had a worry in his heart.

But you can't give orders right away.

But he said, "since you Aiqing have opinions on this matter, do you have any countermeasures?"

Civil and military officials immediately shut up again. Sure enough, they really had no good way.

Zhao Wuji said again, "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, we need heavy codes, punishment and justice, so that dignitaries and people don't hoard copper money and spend more."

After a moment of silence, he continued: "on the other hand, we need to punish those who destroy copper money at will. Those who waste copper money too much should also be punished. For example, jewelers smelting copper money without permission should be appropriately punished. Those who hoard copper money and lead to rust and mildew of copper money should also be punished according to the amount of loss!"

His majesty nodded with satisfaction.

I can't help thinking that this critical moment still depends on the Minister of humerus.

They can go directly to the source and make a final decision. It can be said that they are resourceful!

But it's much better than some "boys" who can only croak.

In particular, these ministers can at least say things themselves, not like some "boys", and they have to condescend to ask!

Hum! This comparison, the higher the lower the judgment.

A decree went out again.

Your majesty is not happy. He feels that a problem that has plagued the imperial court for many years can be easily solved in his own hands. It's really exciting.

But after the law went out, it changed again.

Some large families hurried to check their own money bank and found that there were indeed a lot of copper money in it, which was rotten and difficult to reuse.

Hurriedly called servants to move out, desperately scrubbing and drying, but there was still too much loss in the end.

They had no choice but to start cheating on the accounts.

We should avoid the punishment of "damaging copper coins".

On the other hand, the people were a little confused at first when they learned the news.

But then there was anger.

Some families have saved for many years before they can save tens of dollars. They originally planned to marry a daughter-in-law for their children and buy two acres of land, so that their family can live a quiet life.

But now the copper money has become a sin.

The wise man quickly hid his copper money, dug three feet into the ground and buried it deep, so that it was easy not to be seen.

Officials who are eager to produce political achievements are not happy.

They are well aware that the imperial court now wants copper money. If there is less copper money here, wouldn't their political achievements be very ugly? At that time, the road of three-year assessment and promotion will not have its own benefits?
