Chapter 221 Ten Billions

"Come."

Just as Master Zhang was about to speak, Ying Yi ignored him and called someone, saying, "The Master Tian is tired from afar, so why not go and rest first."

Master Zhang knew that he was a little reckless this time, and said that he apologized as the Lord of Master. Unexpectedly, he was no longer favored by Ying Yi, so he had to sigh secretly and follow the crowd.

Yan Ermei came closer and said, "Lord, this Tianshi Zhang has a grand reputation..."

Ying Yi waved his hand and said without caring: "The Heavenly Master is famous, but he is just a mountain and wild man who relies on his magic to act recklessly."

Yan Ermei sighed inwardly, knowing that Ying Yi had a prejudice against Zhang Tianshi, so he did not dare to say much, and said, "I will leave."

It is said that Ying Yi has been envious of Master Zhang Tian for a long time. He was like this when he met Master Li earlier. Later, he met Master Zhang, and this was even more so.

However, this time Master Zhang Tian arrived, he gave him a "warning", which made Ying Yi feel prejudiced.

Even if Master Zhang Tian asked someone to inform him, Ying Yi would walk backwards and greet him, but he used magic to confuse people's hearts and minds, which was not what a gentleman did.

Although he is sincere and apologized, but now that things have come to this, how can Ying Yi keep his original intention?

Although the Ying Mansion is not a dragon's pond, it is also the heart of a state in Henan. It comes to it at any time and uses magic to confuse the mind. It is because after practicing Taoism for a long time, it has become a superior attitude and doesn't care about it anymore, but it will not take Ying Yi seriously?

Too unrestrained, Ying Yi didn't like it.

Even if he is the lord of his Heavenly Master, what can he do?

Of course, it’s not entirely true to be angry. Ying Yi is not a stingy person. But this impression is just like that.

"This Tianshi Zhang is indeed a powerful figure."

Ying Yi was thinking about Zhang Tianshi himself.

"There is a vast qi that appears and is looming. Although I am not afraid of him, I cannot wait for my eyesight. Let's see why he is here. If it doesn't suit his wishes, I won't give him face."

Ying Yi was still looking forward to it, but at this time he was indifferent.

Everything is lingering in my heart now, and Ying Yi doesn't have much time to let go of this matter and ask Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai. Soon, the two of them arrived.

Ying Yi expressed his thoughts one by one: "Using attack instead of defense is not for the sake of expansion from all sides. The north is the main goal. It is probably just a training of troops. I will not leave my troops to stay in Henan. If there is anything wrong, the law enforcement department will take responsibility."

He also said: "I have ordered Yan Ermei to order the captains of various departments to hand over the recruits list earlier. It is already February, and there are only two months left to prepare. Both of them should take into account the follow-up matters after the army's camp."

"Yes, lord!"

The two of them already knew it.

Then we talked about something else.

Ying Yi said: "How far has the issue of new coins been issued now?"

The issuance of new coins is of great importance, and Ying Yi cannot be ignored.

Zheng Yunzhi laughed and said, "Since the 19th day of the first lunar month, just ten days ago, new coins worth 18 million taels of silver have been issued. One hundred and one million taels of silver, three million taels of silver, and copper coins worth 4 million taels of silver have been recovered."

"The chamber of commerce is the most important. There are ten million taels, that is, one billion new coins, for merchants, and seven million, that is, seven million new coins, for wealthy families, and only one million taels, for people, for people."

"It's still far away." Ying Yi said: "In my opinion, only Kaifeng City will have silver, gold and copper coins worth hundreds of millions of taels of value. With the current size of Henan, the wealth theory created by the people, merchants, craftsmen, etc., at least 10 billion new coins must be issued to meet the demand."

"Not bad." Zheng Yunzhi said: "It's just about 10 billion. However, it's only ten days now, and by March, it should be issued to more than 5 billion. At most, the currency status of gold, silver and copper can be banned."

But he said: "But if only 10 billion is issued, there may be a shortage. Once the new currency is issued, it will be widely loved. Henan people's livelihood is restored, especially because the grain is full and people's livelihood is stable, other industries will prosper. As a result, there are more and more business travelers in other places. Foreign merchants and travelers in Henan also need to use new coins, and dealers will take away a large amount of new coins. In this way, tens of billions may be insufficient."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yunzhi said: "Coins have a wide influence. Liu Yiqian suggested that it would be used to influence places outside Henan through commercial affairs, promote reputation, and even control commercial affairs outside Henan. I think this plan is great."

Ying Yi was surprised when he heard this and said, "Liu Yiqian's suggestion?"

Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "It's his suggestion."

"Okay." Ying Yi comforted his hands and said, "This is a good idea. However, the details must be well grasped. Don't damage people's livelihood just because too many new coins are issued."

But he agreed.

Sun Xiucai smiled and said, "If you can use coins to have a huge impact on Henan, it would be a good idea. But the lord, although the business is heavy, it cannot be too much. Businessmen value profits and cannot be maintained."

Zheng Yunzhi also nodded and agreed: "The words of the law envoy are reasonable."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "I know what business is. Just follow the law. If there is any mistake, what should I do."

Sun Xiucai bowed slightly: "The lord is wise."

He said: "My lord, after the tax law, the commercial law will be introduced, which will be within two or three days. However, the laws involved in the education issue mentioned earlier, the lord was difficult to straighten out for a while."

Hearing the issue of education, Zheng Yunzhi also said: "The position of education belongs to the Human Resources Department. However, according to the lord's intention, both male, female and child of the right age must be admitted to school. Although it is in line with the great way of teaching and non-existence of the saints, it has always been inconsistent with the customs of the people, so it is probably not easy to implement it."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "In ancient times, sages took it as their responsibility to educate the people, regardless of their gender, and their origins. Although they have been slow in their lives, the more people have learned to read and understand. This is the trend. In previous dynasties, they have been slow in their implementation due to difficulties in people's livelihood or other reasons, but when it comes to me, they have to be in place."

He said: "This article should be written into the law of education, and no matter whether it is a wealthy family or a commoner, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, from the age of five, you will enter the Yixue School. After six years of Yixue School, you will not pay any money, and the government will bear the expenses. With the village as a unit, every village will run a Yixue School. If anyone dares not, I will run him!"

Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai heard this and looked at each other, both of them felt helpless.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "If this is the case, I don't know what the expenses are?"

Ying Yi smiled and said, "They are rich and are you afraid of this expense? It's like a village where there are four hundred or so in the village, and about one hundred households. If there are one family and one child, a hundred people will be admitted to the school. Five to ten teachers will be raised. The government will pay the salary. As for the construction of the Yi School, it can be handed over to the slave labor camp."
