() An official's face turned red instantly. This person was Pei Song's eldest son Pei Kuan, who was about forty years old. He used to be an idle official under Liu Yao. The Pei family was the first Guanzhong rich family to join Yunfeng as a political official.

In exchange, he was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, equivalent to the modern mayor of the capital. Although he was a county magistrate, he was

It is necessary to participate in the imperial meeting, and the status is relatively important. Moreover, Jingzhao is located at the foot of the royal court. Various conflicts are complicated and interpersonal relationships are intricate. Jingzhao Yin is held by a person from Guanzhong, which can show that Yunfeng attaches great importance to the big families in Guanzhong and highlights Guanzhong from the side.

The status of a wealthy family can also make them feel at ease.

.

Pei Kuan hesitated for a moment and then said abruptly: "What the king taught me is that I must draft a new copy within three days and submit it to the king for reading."

Yunfeng waved his hands and said: "What lessons can we talk about? I am just giving an opinion. The Royal Court needs to truly and effectively understand all the situations across the country in order to formulate corresponding countermeasures. If the reports from various states and counties are vague, where can we start from?

Understood? Government orders will inevitably be biased. It would be great if Mr. Pei could understand. I’ll worry about it again.”

There was a trace of gratitude in Pei Kuan's eyes. Yunfeng's words were quite gentle, which left him a face. Then he cupped his hand and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to it."

Yunfeng nodded approvingly and said: "I will announce two more things. One is that the jurisdictions of each Yamen sometimes inevitably overlap with each other, which can easily lead to mutual pushback or competition for power.

Real things are often delayed, so

From today onwards, the word "company" must no longer appear in official documents. The specific responsibilities must be pointed out. Specific tasks must be handled by specific parties. If there is a problem, both parties or multiple parties must come up with a coordination plan. Confirm

The scope of authority of each department!”.

.

This Yousi will be famous in later generations and is famous all over the world. It is the omnipotent relevant department! As a modern man, Yunfeng is deeply harmed by the relevant departments. People who have benefits often swarm in, rushing to impose management, and those who have no benefits are afraid to avoid them.

Failure to do so results in extremely low administrative efficiency and greatly damages the government's credibility.

However, the relevant departments are not a product of modern society. They have existed since ancient times. The most familiar sentence is "turn it over to the responsible department to judge the crime!" What Yunfeng needs to do is to sort out the responsibilities and powers of each function, and finally form a vertical,

Flat management, not multiple heads

Management, simplifying administrative procedures and improving administrative efficiency, but he understands that this requires a long process. Influenced by traditional culture, Chinese people are accustomed to muddying the waters and unclear responsibilities and powers. Standardizing the use of names is only the first step in sorting out.

First, change the trend in writing habits.

The first point raised by Yunfeng was not of much concern to the people who were watching, but the ministers were already discussing it. Most of them were accustomed to using the word "Yousi" in official documents. In their eyes,

What exactly do you mean?

, everyone knows it by heart, there is no need to point it out specifically, they all feel that Yunfeng is making a fuss out of a molehill, but it is nothing, it is just a writing habit, and it is not difficult to correct after noticing, so no one thinks about it.

Little things and Yunfengdingzhen.

Yang Ming raised his hand with a face full of incomprehension: "I understand, and I will try my best to change it according to the king's request. So, what is the second point?"

Yunfeng didn't say much and waved to the side. Several old Huangmen immediately dispersed into the hall and placed a gold coin, a silver coin and a five-baht coin on each person's desk.

"What is this?" Everyone picked it up and observed it carefully, and the discussion started again.

"This is gold! It's pure gold!" An official put a gold coin into his mouth and took a bite.

"Is it a coin? The workmanship is very exquisite, but why is there no square hole in the middle?" Another official, holding one in one hand, asked his neighbor.

The attention of the common people in the auditorium was quickly attracted. Although they did not use coins, they also knew that gold and silver were good things. However, they were not allowed to communicate in the palace, so they had to suppress their desire to speak.

Most of the officials were unclear about Yunfeng's intentions. After communicating for a short while, they successively turned their puzzled eyes to Yunfeng. Only Yang Ming and Qiao Xiu had a glimmer of understanding in their eyes.

Yunfeng met everyone's gaze and asked: "This is a gold and silver coin that was minted not long ago. What do you think of the quality and the weight?"

The officials nodded in agreement one after another. For them, it is not difficult to distinguish the quality of gold and silver with the naked eye. The richer the gold, the deeper the color, the heavier the weight, and the softer the hardness. Throwing it on a few cases, it will

It makes a "bah" sound, which is soundless, rhymeless and elastic. It is false or seductive.

Low gold has a crisp sound without dullness, generally makes a "dang-dang" sound with lingering sound, and jumps violently when it lands. Silver is white and shiny, can be bent with bare hands, does not bounce high when thrown, and has a smooth sound. On the contrary, it jumps higher

, those with sharp sounds are fake or low-grade silver.

Pei Kuan raised his hand and said, "I wonder what the king is using for casting gold and silver coins? Could it be that he intends to use them for transactions with merchants?"

Yunfeng nodded and said: "It doesn't stop there. After three months, the salaries of officials in the royal court, Jingzhao, and various states will all be changed to coins. The original rice and cloth will be stopped and will be distributed in coins at market prices."

, including the annual money at the end of the year, will all be distributed in coins, while the remaining counties and cities will not be changed within two years, and will still be a mix of rice, cloth, and money. After two years, it will be decided based on the actual situation whether changes are needed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Needless to say, Guanzhong never used money. Even the officials from Liangzhou were very surprised. They all mixed money, rice, and cloth. There was no precedent of only giving out money.

However, compared to officials in Guanzhong, it is better. After all, coins are widely circulated in Qin and Liangzhou.

Yunfeng pressed his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. I see that you seem to be very resistant. Is this coin a counterfeit coin? I understand that counterfeit coins were once rampant in the Guanzhong area, and a large amount of money was robbed, which caused many harms.

The people were ruined, so everyone hated coins. It is understandable, but coins are used for circulation and have irreplaceable advantages such as rice and cloth. The Han family is strong.

For four hundred years, the coin has been used for four hundred years without any incident. It was only the frequent wars in the late Han Dynasty and the prevalence of counterfeit coins that caused the coin to lose its reputation. However, I can promise that we will never allow any in Qin.

Counterfeit and inferior coins are in circulation, and private raising of coins is not allowed. Once discovered, we will be severely punished and will never be tolerated! Okay, if you have any ideas, please speak up."

Everyone looked at each other and Yunfeng had reached this point. They knew that if they objected again, he would definitely be unhappy, but they always felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

It was Pei Kuan who asked Yunfeng: "I understand what the king means. Logically speaking, it would be a good thing if coins of sufficient value can be circulated. However, if it is only for three months, is it too hasty? What if Chang'an

What if food prices skyrocket?”

Yang Ming took over and said: "Pei Lingyin is overly worried. Your Majesty has already considered this. He will prepare a large amount of cloth and grain to supply the market demand. It will never cause big fluctuations. In addition, during the Pre-Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the most important place in the world.

In the center, merchants gather and trade is prosperous. But if you look at Chang'an today, is there any popularity on the streets? Its decline is similar to ours.

The national power of the Qin State does not match the national strength of the State of Qin. Your Majesty's investment of gold and silver coins of sufficient value will promote the flow of trade, and everyone, including the people of the State of Qin, can benefit from it. Officials from Liangzhou feel this most deeply.

If Pei Lingyin has time, he can ask anyone at random and he will know. Another point is that the king is also thinking about your Guanzhong Baiduowu Fort."

"Oh?" Pei Kuan was a little stunned. What does this have to do with our Wubao? It's just that he has been an official for so many years. He still knows what can and cannot be asked, so he asked Yunfeng with confusion.

He saluted and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Yun Feng shook his head. He was clearly confused and understood. He couldn't help but smile: "I have an agreement with your Guanzhong clan to purchase the excess land from you at a reasonable price after three years. The amount must be huge. If you pay

Food, cloth, slightly guaranteed

If you are not careful, you will inevitably get chafed or attracted insects. If this is the case, won't you complain to death? So I plan to pay with gold and silver coins. Even if you keep it in your hands for a hundred and eighty years, you don't have to.

Do you understand now that you are worried about spoilage?"

After saying this, Pei Kuan suddenly felt enlightened. If the currency value could be kept stable, it would indeed be of great benefit to their great clan. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude in his heart, and he gave another gift from the bottom of his heart:

"I understand. I would like to express my gratitude to the great king for his kindness on behalf of all the surnames in Guanzhong."

Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "This is Gu's responsibility. Gu never robs people's wealth, so there is no need for Mr. Pei to be polite."

The coin matter was successfully resolved, and the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed. Most of the people present knew what Yunfeng meant by "not robbing people's wealth", and they all showed understanding smiles.

Pei Kuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "I would like to ask your Majesty, how should I exchange these gold and silver coins with five baht coins?"

Yunfeng smiled faintly and said: "Based on the prosperous period of Emperor Wu Taikang's reign, one pound of gold is worth one hundred thousand qian as the unit of measurement. One hundred gold coins are minted per jin of gold, and each gold coin is worth one thousand qian. The price of gold and silver is

It is one to five, one silver coin is exchanged for two hundred yuan. This is the benchmark price of the royal court, but it will definitely fluctuate slightly in actual circulation.

Therefore, it is planned to set up a separate department to be responsible for the minting, issuance, and monitoring of coins. If gold and silver increase too much, this department will release a large number of gold and silver coins while recycling copper coins. If gold and silver depreciate, the opposite operation will be performed.

Maintain the price ratio between these three currencies within an acceptable fluctuation range."

Pei Kuan sincerely handed over his hand: "Your Majesty has considered everything, and I dare to say that if it can be implemented, the people will no longer reject coins."

Yunfeng nodded and said, "Thank you for your good wishes!" As he said that, he glanced down, as if asking who else wanted to perform. Today's court meeting has been going on for nearly two hours, and Yunfeng has also achieved his goal.
