Liu Jing's official room in Weiyang Palace is located on the right side of Xuanshi Hall, close to the Censorate. It is also a complex of buildings covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, including the main building, library pavilion and the main buildings of the Star Observatory. The buildings are arranged in angular shapes, connected by air corridors, and in the middle is a thick forest of shade.

The main building of the official room is also called Qinzheng Building. This is the name given by the Shangshu. They hope that Liu Jing can work hard to govern, work diligently and love the people, and revive the Han Dynasty.

The Qinzheng Building used by Liu Jing’s office is very large, including two pavilions, the main building and the deputy pavilion. The deputy pavilion is also called the military advisor, which is the office of Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong. The main building is a five-story attic, and Liu Jing’s official room is located in the building.

Although Liu Jing was the first time to come to his official rank, he had no time to visit his diligent place at this time. He was discussing the matter of minting money with Jiang Wan and Xu Shu.

Pingzhangtai has passed a resolution that the minted money will be transferred from public to market to rewards from the army, but some specific details still need to be discussed.

"Your Highness, the conversion of money into military rewards is actually a disguised place on the market. This is more impactful than using Wuzhu coins to exchange them. After all, it is a wealth that has increased out of thin air. Therefore, I suggest that if you can not distribute it at one time, it is best to reward it in batches."

Jiang Wan had initially opposed the introduction of money. He believed that this could easily disrupt the breeding of goods, cause violent fluctuations in prices, and was also easily used by Wei and Jiangdong. Judging from the months when the money was introduced, his concerns were not redundant. Prices generally rose, the most obvious thing was the price of grain. The rice price rose to 80 yuan. Finally, he persuaded Liu Jing to agree to suspend the issuance of money. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing turned it into a reward for military merit, which really gave Jiang Wan a headache.

But Pingzhangtai has passed the resolution, and Jiang Wan has no choice but to persuade Liu Jing to issue it in batches to minimize the impact of money on goods.

Liu Jing slowly took care of the two coins in his hand. He liked this kind of money very much, and the workmanship was very exquisite. On the front was the gate of Weiyang Palace, and on the back were the four characters of Han Zhu coins written by Liu Jing. This kind of money was much larger than Wuzhu coins. There were no square holes in the middle, and the flesh was thick and full, with a texture.

Liu Jing understood Jiang Wan's concern and smiled and said, "Of course it takes time to cast money. I hope to give 10,000 yuan in one go, but can Secretary Jiang do it?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu had to bow and said, "Report to Your Highness, we have cast ten thousand pieces of money in the past few months. So far, we have issued 100,000 pieces, which has caused a general increase in materials. We suspended the issuance. In fact, there are still 700,000 pieces in the warehouse."

Liu Jing nodded, no wonder Jiang Wan was full of worry. It turned out to be this reason. He pondered for a moment: "You can be sure that the price increase was caused by the issuance of money, not because of the Han-Hungary War."

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "I have a responsibility to talk about this. This time the money is mainly used to prepare for the payment, such as the wages of the people, purchasing grain from grain merchants, etc. As a result, after the money was spread, it became a hot item in the market. The official company exchanged one and five coins, but the black market has risen to one and ten coins. Many copper coins accumulated in their homes have suddenly circulated, and prices have generally risen. Although it has something to do with war, war is not the main reason, but it is money."

"I don't understand what responsibility does Shangshu Jiang have?" Liu Jing asked in confusion.

Jiang Wan sighed, "Because according to the initial idea, the exchanger used the method of open exchange, and the exchanger handed over the Wuzhu coins and got the money. The five-plant coins were put into the warehouse and the money was circulated. The problem was not big. However, because he was worried about huge profits in the black market and was worried that the collection of money would cause the shortage of five-plant coins in the market, Weichen decided to use the payment method, and the result was."

Jiang Wan couldn't continue to say it anymore, Liu Jing smiled and said, "You are not wrong with Gong Yan's concern. After all, it was the first time to issue it. We didn't expect many consequences. There is no responsibility. In fact, I advocate the issuance of money, and I have deeper ideas.

In the past, I have always considered using our advantage in mastering the currency and seizing materials from Jiangdong and Wei through trade. Now our five coins have been circulated all over the world, so the purpose of issuing money is no longer to plunder wealth, but to promote trade. I hope that money can promote the exchange of people and goods in various places, so that the Han Dynasty can gradually integrate with the Central Plains and Jiangdong, laying the foundation for the future unification of the world."

Liu Jing's words made Jiang Wan and Xu Shu secretly feel ashamed. They both only considered the interests of the Han Dynasty, but did not consider the overall situation of the world.

At this time, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Actually, I think the price rise is more because of the war. Because everyone is afraid that the Han army will be defeated by the Huns, there is a great demand for valuables such as gold. There is not much gold in the market. We happened to issue money at this time, so it triggered everyone's pursuit of money. Now that the war is over, I believe that everyone's demand for gold will no longer be as fanatical as it was some time ago."

Jiang Wan was about to touch her, but Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled, "I haven't finished speaking yet, please wait for a while."

Jiang Wan smiled apologetically and stopped talking. Liu Jing continued: "There is another reason that is the time difference. Because our Wuzhu coins are universal, the extra Wuzhu coins on the market will sooner or later flow to Wei and Jiangdong. This will take a certain amount of time. First, the transportation is inconvenient, and secondly, the trade between the Central Plains and ours is temporarily blocked by the war. But I believe that as the war ends, caravans will follow one after another, and our five coins will flow to the Central Plains and Jiangdong in large quantities, and prices will gradually stabilize."

Jiang Wan and Xu Shu nodded silently. Although they were busy with all kinds of things and had strong ability to handle government affairs, they were not as good as the King of Han in terms of broad vision and long-term vision.

Liu Jing asked Jiang Wanxiao, "What did Gong Yan want to say just now?"

Jiang Wan hurriedly said: "I just wanted to ask Your Highness how much money I plan to pay for the reward."

Liu Jing walked a few steps behind his hands, and then slowly said: "There were 100,000 soldiers participating in the battle this time. Calculated based on the minimum ten coins per person, this is 10,000 coins, and special rewards from soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. Seven hundred thousand coins are really not enough."

Xu Shu and Jiang Wan sighed helplessly. It seems that it is impossible to reward in batches. They can only accept the reality that prices are about to rise. However, Pingzhang Platform also has plans. They will successively place 200,000 stones of grain to calm the rise in grain prices.

At this time, Xu Shu added: "If your highness feels that the money reward is not enough, you can also use the land in the pass and Lingzhou to reward it. This time we defeated the Huns and obtained a large amount of land, many of which were formerly top fertile land. Your Highness can be used as a reward for military merit."

Liu Jing nodded, "This plan is feasible, but it takes time to measure it, and I can't hurry up. I can first reward the soldiers with land share and then give them specific delivery after measuring the land. Speaking of land, I remembered another important thing, which is to restore the government jurisdiction of Shangjun, Anding County, Beidi County, Shuofang County and Wuyuan County. The land cannot be empty for a long time. Pingzhangtai must hurry up."

"Please rest assured that Pingzhangtai is already preparing for this matter, and there will be a result soon. In addition, the candidate for the Shouhe County Magistrate needs to be asked to clarify as soon as possible."

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "I already have a suitable candidate. I will hand it over to Pingzhangtai tomorrow morning."

Liu Jing spent the whole day in various busy schedules. At dusk, Liu Jing also left Weiyang Palace and returned to the mansion. He worked all day long. Although he felt a little tired, Liu Jing was in good spirits and felt very fulfilled.

At this time, several guards escorted the carriages into Chang'an City, and a noisy and lively atmosphere suddenly came to the face. This was the west gate, with shops and restaurants on both sides, and people came and went on the streets. Carriages and ox carriages flowed through. Thousands of Xiongnu prisoners of war were transporting stones under the supervision of Han soldiers to repair the damaged city walls.

Liu Jing looked through the car window at the street scene on both sides. Not far away, a few wide open spaces had walls built, and a mansion was being built inside. Liu Jing remembered that these lands had been abandoned for many years, and were ruined, and had long become a place where wild foxes and rats and snakes lived. Unexpectedly, they were sold and began to rebuild the mansion.

This reminds Liu Jing of something. It is said that the land prices in Chang'an soared. Many poor people sold their houses and land to buy houses in other counties to make the difference. This has caused the population of Chang'an to drop slightly in the past two months. This is definitely not something Liu Jing wants to see. If Chang'an cannot tolerate the poor, it will inevitably cause many serious problems, and prices will also rise to heaven. More importantly, it will seriously hinder the recovery of Guanzhong's economy and population.

I originally planned to discuss this issue with Pingzhangtai today, but as a result, I forgot about it.

At this time, Liu Jing saw a large shop with a plaque hanging above the shop with five big words written on it, which made Liu Jing slightly stunned. When did the Tao Family General Store move from Chengdu? Yesterday, Taoli said that he had not moved here for the time being.

"parking"

With Liu Jing's order, the carriage slowly stopped. Liu Jing pushed open the car door and walked towards the Tao merchant. Several personal guards hurriedly followed.

At the gate of the business, more than a dozen friends were packing up the tables and miscellaneous items. Suddenly, a large group of soldiers came. Someone recognized that the person was Liu Jing, the King of Han, and everyone was so scared that they knelt down and bowed.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Who is in charge of the business now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tao Sheng walking out of the gate. He seemed to be preparing to return home. When he saw Liu Jing in front of him, Tao Sheng was shocked and hurriedly came forward to greet him, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Liu Jing was also surprised, "When will my father-in-law come back in Chengdu?"

"Come back early this morning, Your Highness, please come in and sit in."

Although Tao Sheng was Liu Jing's father-in-law, he did not dare to put his father-in-law against Liu Jing. This was Tao Zhan's request. It can be said that except for Tao Lie, the Tao family dared not regard themselves as an elder in front of Liu Jing.

Liu Jing followed Tao Sheng into the guest hall and sat down. The two of them greeted each other for a moment. Liu Jing smiled meaningfully, "I heard from the princess that the Tao family purchased a large amount of land in Chang'an the previous year. Now the land price has soared and has made a fortune. It's a happy congratulation."

Tao Sheng's heart was thumping, he heard something in the words of the King of Han.
