Chapter 135 The Hateful Middleman

He said that his surname is Wang? And the Wang and Zhao surnames are all derived from Ji? Then how many lifetimes of bad luck have I had to have the same ancestor as him?"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but sighed and ordered: "Don't worry about him. Anyway, we will open this area for questioning first, and we will talk about the rest later."

Yang Zaixing first bowed in agreement, and then said with a grimace: "Guan, why don't you send someone else to talk to the barbarian from the Jin Kingdom about the situation? You asked Wei Chen to charge into the battle, and Wei Chen frowned.

You won’t even frown, but you let Wei Chen argue with this barbarian from the Jin Kingdom..."

"Can he beat you?"

Zhao Huan chuckled lightly and said: "I have already told you how to talk to him. Just go ahead and talk as I said. There is no room for him to refute anyway."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan asked again: "What do you say about the treasure note? Can the person named Wan accept it?"

"Yes, I agreed, but I always feel that this barbarian has evil intentions?"

Yang Zaixing bowed and said: "At that time, Wei Chen told him that he could exchange the old banknotes for eight hundred new banknotes. The barbarian seemed very happy?"

Zhao Huan chuckled and asked: "The old banknotes that were about to become waste paper can now be exchanged for eight hundred new banknotes. It's you who changed the currency. Are you still unhappy?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan picked up a few freshly minted banknotes from the table in front of him, looked at them back and forth, and said with a smile: "This looks like money."

The Jiaobao issued before the Song Dynasty was a firm version. A Jiaobao was divided into three parts. The top was a pattern of ten copper coins, and in the middle it was written "Xu Yu was a public and private envoy of such and such Luzhou County" and Jiaobao.

The face value is, and the bottom is a gaudy pattern.

Handling banknotes like this is not money. Due to the lack of copper coins in the Song Dynasty and the inconvenience of carrying iron coins, handing banknotes can actually be used as money. Not only the common people recognize this thing

Well, even the Liao and Jin kingdoms recognized the use value of banknotes.

But to say that this thing is money is really unreasonable——

The layout of the banknotes is too large and is not convenient to carry. Even the anti-counterfeiting technology is almost non-existent. If it were not for the fact that the manufacturing technology of the paper used for the banknotes is confidential, then the cost of counterfeiting the banknotes would be as low as another person.

The degree of pointing.

What's more critical is that Jiao banknotes were not first issued by the imperial court, but by the "Jiao Zi" shop jointly founded by sixteen wealthy businessmen in Sichuan.

This means that the minting power of handover banknotes is not in the hands of the court, but is in a state of laissez-faire.

It wasn't until the "Jiaozipu" business failed due to poor management that it was taken over by the imperial court.

Then the problem arises.

As we all know, in the court of the Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the ministers, they were a group of gods——

When Emperor Zhao Jixiang was in power, Cai Jing and Cai Yuan Chang issued a large amount of banknotes in order to solve the income problem of the imperial court, which directly caused the skyrocketing prices and unrest in various places.

Because the banknote itself is just a piece of paper, in order for the banknote to have monetary significance, in addition to the credibility of the court, there must also be corresponding "reserves", such as a corresponding amount of gold or copper coins for exchange, to prove Jiaozi's

"Meaning in itself".

For example, when the Song Dynasty first took over the issuance of banknotes in the early Song Dynasty, it would prepare to issue about 28% of the copper coins and iron coins as reserves.

However, when Cai Jing issued Jiaozi, the reserve provided not only did not increase, but was directly cancelled.

Of course, the Song Dynasty court, headed by Emperor Zhao Jixiang, took this opportunity to amass a fortune, but for the common people, this behavior of the court was tantamount to wantonly plundering people's wealth. People at the time scolded Cai Jing, thinking that he promoted

The paper money policy is more abominable than the robbers and bandits.

The social turmoil of the Song Dynasty and even the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty were not unrelated to this.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was very cautious in dealing with the issue of banknotes. He did not start reforming the banknotes until Xixia was completely pacified.

After all, everything was easy when Zhao Huan was still alive. Zhao Huan could prepare a sufficient amount of reserves, limit the issuance of treasure banknotes, allow people to freely exchange treasure banknotes, and allow people to pay taxes with banknotes. But waiting for Zhao Huan

What happens after Huan dies?

You can never underestimate a person's upper limit, and you can never overestimate a person's lower limit.

As for these immortals in the Great Song Dynasty, when it comes to deceiving the emperor and themselves and deceiving the common people, they are all very good at it. It would be really difficult to expect them to do anything serious.

Not to mention that due to factors such as anti-counterfeiting methods, the difficulty of making counterfeit banknotes is countless times lower than that of later generations.

But no matter what, whether it is handing out banknotes or precious banknotes, the emergence of this kind of paper currency is already an extremely advanced way of playing. Naturally, Zhao Huan would not mind taking this opportunity to bring the Jin Kingdom and the world together.

The whole world is buried in a pit.

For example, it is a market, such as exchanging old banknotes for new ones.

It is obvious that only new banknotes can be used in the market, but even if the Jin Kingdom wants to exchange old banknotes for new banknotes, how many old banknotes can the entire Jin Kingdom have? In addition, the fire cost of exchanging old banknotes for new banknotes,

How many new banknotes can be exchanged for the old banknotes of the Kingdom of Jin?

Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin had to find a way to make money - the easiest and fastest way to make money was naturally to go to neighboring countries to catch laborers in exchange for money.

But as the saying goes, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Goryeo is naturally not as good as Goguryeo, but no matter how incompetent Goryeo is, it still has some wealth. Even if it cannot defeat the Jin Kingdom, it can at least fight with the Jin Kingdom on the battlefield.

In the same way, if you want new banknotes, you can naturally exchange old banknotes for new banknotes or use laborers to exchange them. Then places like Myanmar and Cochin will also want to capture Dali's laborers to exchange for new banknotes.

This means that as long as the Song Dynasty takes out some paper, it can make a lot of money as a middleman. At the same time, it can also instigate the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo to fight each other on the battlefield, and make Dali and Myanmar peaceful.

Jiaozhi tore each other apart on the battlefield.

When these people are exhausted, it will naturally be time for Da Song to appear as a righteous person——

When countries attack each other, isn't it the people who suffer?

When the people suffer, the Holy Emperor Zhao Huan, as the lord of all the people in the world, will naturally feel the same. How can he sit back and watch the people in the world suffer?

At that time, if you have no choice, you will have to resort to thunderbolt measures to save all people from fire and water.

Quite expensive!

After making up his mind, Zhao Huan said with a smile: "When I discuss with Wan tomorrow, I will tell him that one laborer is worth four treasure coins."

Yang Zaixing said, "What if the Jin Kingdom printed fake old banknotes?"

PS: Today I will sacrifice "League of Legends of a certain American comic" to heaven.

Another PS: I have a ganglion cyst in my right hand, my left hand was burned with oil and a large piece of skin fell off, I was bitten by a dog and received a rabies vaccine, my shoulders on both sides were swollen, and I had a high fever for two days... Who can tell me?

More unlucky than me!
