Chapter 619
Shaofu's family order and Shaofu Tongcheng stepped on the snow and walked into the palace.
"The snow was not cleaned up in time." The magistrate muttered.
Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, said: "the snow is too heavy to clean up. My Lord, I will support you. "
"No! Although I'm old, I'm still very strong. "
The home order of the Shaofu refused the help of Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu.
In the palace, the closer to Xingqing palace, the less snow.
When we arrived at Xingqing palace, there were only a few snowflakes left on the ground, and there was no snow at all.
There are palace people with brooms, always keep the ground clean, to ensure that the ground will not have snow.
After the announcement, they finally walked into the warm Zhengyang hall.
"I will see your majesty!"
"No gift!"
The home order of the young master pointed to the account book in the basket, "all the accounts your majesty wants are here."
Wende Di said, his eyes stayed on the face of Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, for two seconds. Then he said, "present the account book of the bank first!"
A pile of account books, placed in front of the emperor Wende.
Wende looked through the account books and quickly turned to the final general ledger.
"Oh, 30 million copper coins were recovered last month alone? So much? "
"This is still rare," said the young master. There are more people saving money this month. In less than half a month, more copper money has been recovered than last month. Wei Chen estimated that this month at least 50 million copper coins could be recovered. "
Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, is as quiet as a chicken.
He thought in his mind that the amount of copper recovered this month is more than 50 million yuan. In 12 months of a year, the most prosperous month is in December. If only 50 million yuan of copper money is recovered in the whole month of December, then the system of saving money for interest can only be regarded as moderate, and it is absolutely not a magic stroke.
He thought so, but said nothing.
It's also good for you to press down the data.
If you exaggerate, everyone will. If you don't finish the task, your majesty will blame you afterwards.
Therefore, the practice of Shaofu's family order is really mature and steady.
"How many new coins can be made from the recovered copper coins?" asked Vander
Emperor Wende's eyes fell on Gu Zhixin's face.
The young master's order winked at Gu Zhi's messenger.
Gu Zhixin settled his mind and stood up and said, "reply to your majesty. According to the rule, the copper coin will be recycled and recast, and there will be about 30% loss. However, through the improvement of foundry technology, the loss can be controlled at about 25%
Emperor Wende frowned as soon as he heard it. "Such a great loss, isn't the imperial court suffering heavy losses?"
"Your Majesty can rest assured that once the newly cast coins are put into the folk market, they will be able to earn back many times."
"How to make money? Please tell me more about it."
Wende is really not sure how to make money in the process of coin casting.
Gu Zhixin looks at the home order of the Shao Fu. It's up to him to answer this question.
After deliberation, the magistrate said, "Your Majesty, the reason why there are so many private coins is that the number of official coins is small, and the private coins are profiteering.
Let's say that a small copper coin can be bought for one Wen if it is taken to the market. But in fact, the brass contained in this copper coin is not worth a cent... "
Shaofu's official talked about the concept of coins with Wende. The state has always made money without any loss.
Even the copper coin with the highest content of brass cast in the Taizu period was still profitable.
Why is it that once the supply of official coins falls short of demand, the private coins will be rampant, because it is really profiteering.
All copper coins, whether official or private, are alloy copper.
Official copper coins contain about 70% copper.
It is a great conscience to cast coins privately with copper content of 50% and 55%.
What's more, a privately cast copper coin contains only 30% copper. This is not what copper money, called lead money, zinc money is more appropriate.
According to the way the imperial court made money, a jin of brass, considering the damage, can cast about 205 copper coins. Two hundred and five Wen.
It's very good to cast coins privately. One jin of brass can cast 300 copper coins.
In the market, the crude brass mined out is about 50 Wen to 70 Wen / kg, and the transportation cost should be taken into account.
After refining, if all kinds of losses are included, it will not exceed 120 Wen / kg.
A catty of brass can be used to make coins, and the money is 205 Wen, which is still the official price.
This is not profiteering. What is it?
Private coins are more profitable.
From ancient times to the present, whoever has the right to issue coins will have the money bag.
In the past, the imperial court suffered from the shortage of brass reserves and the folk tradition of collecting money, so the demand for coins cast by the imperial court every year was in short supply.The money market was gradually occupied by private coins.
A large part of the profits from this market go to various banks.
Hubu had privately calculated an account. In the money market, the amount of coins cast by government officials was less than 20%. At least a million taels a year.
However, there are various interest groups involved.
Even the Ministry of housing dare not lift the lid.
It was not until the Shaofu bank saved money for interest that the lid was lifted off the tip of the iceberg.
Do you really think that banks make money by usury?
In recent years, most of the profits of banks come from privately minted coins.
Even at the foot of the emperor and the Imperial City root, when you go out to the market, you can encounter all kinds of privately cast coins of various styles and weights.
Not to mention the south, where private coinage was rampant.
In the south, especially in the southern part of the Yangtze River, it seems that it has become a base for privately minting coins. There are almost no official coins in the local area.
It is conceivable that the loss of the imperial court in the money market is a huge amount of data.
After the explanation of the family order of Shaofu, if emperor Wende had realized this problem earlier, I would not have to worry about money every day.
In the past, the courtiers always suppressed commerce, saying that the merchants were cheap. Now, it seems that the court officials suppressed commerce, not necessarily because the merchants were cheap, but because they wanted to monopolize the market and to do exclusive business.
As soon as the imperial court cracked down on them, there was no way for ordinary businessmen to survive. Only those big businesses, those backed by aristocratic families, can continue to be active in the market.
However, when the imperial court was in trouble, they never saw these big merchants take money out, but they also dug my corner.
The courtiers only knew how to increase taxes on the common people, forcing them to die, to become bandits, to kill officials and to rebel.
Ha ha When I think about these things, I am the biggest fool in the world, the deaf, the blind and the poor.
Now I think that the problems that someone can solve with money are not big problems. That's true. The point is, I have no money! "
Grandma's leg.
As an emperor, he was rich all over the world. As a result, he could not make ends meet every year.
This year, the Ministry of finance has collected more taxes, but it still has no money balance. To fill in the deficit of previous years, we should make up for the salaries of officials and soldiers.
I don't know if I don't know, but I can't find out until I check it out that the big soldiers in some places haven't received a single monthly salary for five years.
In other words, the court owed the soldiers money and food for five years.
In five years, it's an astronomical number.
What's more, if you haven't changed your clothes or weaponry for five years, you can make up for the past deficit by relying on the deduction of the account department. Only then can the whole army change its armaments.
If you don't have money to support soldiers, how can you expect the army to have combat effectiveness.
Emperor Wende is worried!
Count and count, there are only a few troops in Dazhou with real combat effectiveness.
Shaofu family order and Shaofu copper Cheng Gu Zhixin all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak up.
Shaofu family order guessed that someone in Wende's mouth should refer to Gu Jiu.
Only Gu Jiu can say that the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Bang!
Vander slapped on the table.
"Are you both dumb? I don't have money. What do you say? "
Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, said: The emperor was also called poor, and the ministers could not help it.
"Your Majesty, the income will increase next year, and the situation will be better."
"I know it will be better, but it is not enough. Money is not enough! This year, the salary of Beijing officials has not been paid. Do you still owe two months' salary? "
The magistrate nodded, "it's snowing this year, and many places are suffering from snow disaster. For the time being, there is no money from the Ministry of household to pay salaries. "
Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "so I said, your speed is too slow. Private coin making is a violation of national law. Is there no better way to suppress the private coinage? I can't. I'll send Jin Wuwei out. "
"Your Majesty, think twice! Don't send out jinwuwei! When Jin Wuwei moved, the people were in complete chaos. The old minister still said in the past, this matter has to be slowly planned. "
Bang!
The emperor patted the table heavily, "I can't wait. At least we have to get rid of all the private coins in the capital. What good ideas do you two have
The only way is to increase the number of official coins. However, the amount of brass mined by the imperial court is not enough to drive the privately minted coins out of the capital. "
Emperor Wende asked angrily, "where did the brass used for private coin casting come from? Why are they so large that the imperial court can't match the folk brass reserves? "
"Your Majesty doesn't know about it. Since Zhongzong Dynasty, private mining has been rampant. Most of them are well-known families. To be honest with your majesty, many ministers in the court are secretly mining.In addition, many families are also mining secretly. Most of the copper mines they mined went into private banks. "
"As an official of the court, mining Copper, why not sell it to the court?"
The young master's family made a wry smile, "first, I'm afraid to leave a handle, and be settled after autumn. Second, the price of private purchase is often higher than that of the imperial court. "
"Ridiculous! These bastards, moths, don't forget who feeds them. I don't want to share the worries for the imperial court and me. I dare to steal my corner. Damn it all, damn it
Emperor Wende kicked over the stool, smashed the teacup and threw the inkstone.
The hall was a mess.
The palace people all hold their breath, the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.
The young master's family made him nervous and calm.
For the first time, Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, shivered when he saw the angry appearance of emperor Wende.
Oh, my God!
The position of Shaofu Tongcheng looks brilliant and promising. Who would have thought that he would have to bear the wrath of emperor Wende all the time.
The courtiers also said that emperor Wende had a good temper.
It's not like I've seen Vander get angry.
After vent, Wende asked angrily, "can't we cure them?"
A bitter smile came from the young master. He was the brother of Zhongzong emperor. He came from that time. He was too clear about the situation at that time.
He said, "Your Majesty, be calm! The old minister said a very rebellious words, the reason why the private mining overflowed to an uncontrollable situation, the responsibility lies in Zhongzong.
At that time, Emperor Zhongzong favored the imperial concubine Su, so his father and brother were allowed to open a mine, and he was allowed to choose a mine, with the full cooperation of the local government. This is the beginning of the opening of private mineral resources.
Later, the emperor ascended the throne. Although the Su family members were killed, the imperial concubine of Su was also put into the guanye temple. However, the custom of privately opening mines has been rampant, and the emperor did not stop it at the first time. Over the past few decades, it has become the present situation. "
Emperor Wende said:
I want to cry!
What to do?
Other families are sons.
Come to him and change to Laozi's son and his son's grandson.
He is the grandson of the pit!
MMP, the ancestor of bullshit.
At this moment, Emperor Wende even had an impulse to move the tablet of Zhongzong out of Fengxian hall and smash it to pieces!
Wende is so rebellious, no problem!
