Chapter 1299 The bomb falls(1/2)
Su Yan was ordered to report his duties and explain the situation of the Hangzhou Maritime Bureau to the monarch and ministers in the court.
He then followed to the court.
“…Maicrosoft will have higher returns this year.”
The profits of the merchant fleet were counted in the third year of Zhiping, so Su Yan said that he was full of confidence.
"The Maritime Trade Bureau not only does not offer copper coins, but the foreign merchants will also bring copper coins to trade."
This is a great achievement.
"The copper coins of the Song Dynasty were not enough. For many years, countless people were busy looking for copper mines. But I could not help but lose my money."
When Zhao Shu talked about copper coins, he looked at Chen An with a little relief. "Later, paper money was issued in the court. Although it was not much, it accumulated every year, but it alleviated the dilemma of lack of money."
Chen An made great contributions to this matter.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu forgave Chen An’s impulse last night.
The so-called impulse is just a cover-up.
He had more or less guessed Chen An's idea of giving up.
And using murder to express one's opinion is also considered strange.
It is relatively strange that the monarch and ministers use shamelessness to break the situation.
A strange thing was solved strangely, but Zhao Shu was not without grudges.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to clean up Chen'an in the future, but when the merchant fleet arrived, he reminded him of many of the benefits of Chen'an, so the matter was over.
He glanced at Chen An and nodded slightly, "Now the Maritime Warehouse Department has tightened its mouth, and the foreign merchants can't exchange copper coins... Han Qing, is there still a shortage of money in the Sansi Department this year?"
The money shortage in the Song Dynasty was an old problem, and Han Jiang was also deeply affected.
"Your Majesty, there are not many copper ores in the Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to smelte, so copper coins have never been enough." Han Jiang looked a little confused, "Now the banknotes issued every year are quite helpful, but they are still not enough, and they are even more and more intense..."
"Why is this?"
Zhao Shu said in confusion: "According to reason, the gap between blocks is blocked, and the money shortage should be alleviated. Why is it getting worse and worse?"
Han Jiang was a little confused, "I don't know."
He felt a little ashamed, feeling that it was really embarrassing to be a Sansi envoy who didn't know about this situation!
Moreover, there were many ministers present today, and several of them had been coveting the position of the Sansi Envoy and had stabbed him several times in secret.
Zhao Shu said with some dissatisfaction: "You don't know, he doesn't know, all the ministers in the court, who knows?"
The official family got angry.
But it’s normal to think about it. None of the officials in the court knew about this. Who else could he count on?
He remembered Chen An.
The issuance of paper banknotes was something that Chen An insisted on, and he carefully planned to ensure that there was no problem with the issuance of paper banknotes so far.
This is a good minister!
At this moment, Zhao Shu forgot the anger of the king and his ministers being forced by Chen An. He was about to ask questions when Lu Hui left work and said, "Your Majesty, there is a certain amount of wealth in the world..."
grass!
Isn’t this Sima Guang’s argument?
Sima Guang believes that there is only so much wealth in the world, and you are just so much trouble. Since there is only so much, why are we going to do it? Let’s live a life with everyone.
But Sima Guang was puzzled by Chen An Yitong's theory last time. It is logical that he should give up this inexplicable theory?
Chen An glanced at Sima Guang, and the man was still as gentlemanly as a murmur.
"Where is the fixed number of wealth in the world?"
Chen An went out of the class to question.
When Lu Hui saw him come out, he sneered: "There is only so much wealth in the world. If there is no official position, there will be fewer people..."
"ignorance!"
Lu Hui, who was proud, was shocked by the silence of the shout, frowned and said, "What do you know? I..."
"What do you know?" Chen An asked: "Where were you when you made banknotes? Where were you when you made fragrant dew? Where were you when you became the richest man in the Song Dynasty? What do you know? Hum?"
this……
Chen An can crush you by playing money.
"Absurd!" Lu Hui's hat-tighting method came again, "Ignorance child, I have experienced countless storms than you back then. Just an ignorant child like you will only bewitch the official family and eventually leave it infamous for thousands of years!"
This is his attacking trick, and everyone is familiar with it.
But Chen An didn't care about this at all. He said, "Do you know the annual income since the founding of the Song Dynasty?"
Lu Hui is a master who is a hat-trick, but he is helpless in his practice and just sneer.
"You don't know!" Chen An said contemptuously: "At the beginning of the country, the annual income of more than 16 million guan. During the Tianxi period, the annual income of more than 26.5 million guan... During the Jiayou period, the annual income of more than 36.8 million guan... Now it's even more unreasonable. The annual income is gradually increasing, what is the fixed number? By the way, you will definitely say that there are more government officials and fewer people. You can go to the people to see how the people are today... compared to the early days of the country!"
Lu Hui didn't expect that he would remember so clearly that he was speechless for a moment.
Chen An took advantage of the victory and shouted: "The annual income of the Maritime Warrior increased year by year, what is the fixed number? A pile of soil is worthless. But someone burned it into porcelain and instantly earned a hundred times the value... Where is the fixed number?"
Lu Hui felt sweat on his forehead.
"The housing prices in Bianliang City are higher than one year, so where is the fixed number?"
"Do you understand?" Chen An asked.
Lu Hui subconsciously nodded, but was silent.
After nodding, Chen An must have thrown a lot of questions over the next time. If he can't answer it, then he will pretend to understand if he doesn't understand.
This face cannot be lost!
He was very melancholy.
But Chen An said contemptuously: "If you don't understand this, then you don't understand. How dare you ask Lu Zhiza, what do you know? Do you know how to give people a hat? What kind of traitor, what kind of slander... If you don't understand, just shut up, okay?"
This is a great humiliation.
Lu Hui was furious and was about to squirt, but Chen An had turned around and walked over and bowed: "Your Majesty, the great Song Dynasty has developed to this day, and money is inevitable."
"Oh, tell me."
Lu Hui's face turned red and his whole body was shaking. Isn't he furious?
Zhao Shu ignored him when he saw this, which made him even more crazy.
But everyone is ready to listen to Chen An analyze the reasons for the money shortage in the Song Dynasty, but no one pays attention to him.
Even Sima Guang was looking at Chen An.
"The Song Dynasty's annual income is growing every year, and all walks of life are growing. What do they need after the growth? Money!"
"There are more and more business people, and the business is getting bigger and bigger...there is a huge demand for money to deal with."
The money shortage once became a topic in later generations. Chen Anluo heard of it, but it was enough to crush a group of monarchs and ministers today.
"Originally, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were outflowed, and this was a loophole, and now it has been repaired."
"The Song Dynasty minted coins every year and issued banknotes every year, but compared with the booming progress of all industries in the Song Dynasty, it is far from enough! Therefore, all industries are short of money... It is a bad lack of money."
Chen An finally said: "In fact, the money shortage in the Song Dynasty is not a problem."
Zhao Shu was so stunning that when he saw that he suddenly stopped talking, he frowned and said, "Can you solve it?"
"able."
Chen An said confidently: "In my opinion, the money shortage in the Song Dynasty was caused by several aspects. First, the people of the Song Dynasty had the habit of saving money. Whether it was a wealthy businessman or a commoner, they liked to live in their families if they had money... I dare to say that if these copper coins were made out, the problem of money shortage would be immediately alleviated."
"How do you get it?" Lu Hui sneered: "Those people earn money with hard work. Do you want to grab it?"
In his opinion, the money is private, and even Zhao Shu cannot seize it, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
This is everyone's consensus at this moment, so everyone nodded.
What do you do?
Zhao Shu looked at Chen An expectantly. He knew the harm of the money shortage, but he didn't know the solution.
If another minister says this today, he will listen to it and then slowly analyze and ponder.
But Chen An has his own unique insights on finance. Not only does he make suggestions and make banknotes, he is the richest man in the Song Dynasty, which shows his way of making money.
Such a person says he has a way to deal with the shortage of money, so why not take it seriously!
Chen An smiled and said, "First, I suggest you build a money house."
"What is a money house?" Han Qi was puzzled.
"A money shop is a place where you can save money. Anyone can deposit money into a money shop and withdraw it at any time."
"No one can save money in it, you are delusional!" Lu Hui said contemptuously: "I thought you would come up with something good, but who knew that he had built a tower in the air. Your Majesty, you must not believe this kind of bewitching!"
Lu Hui's eyes were red and his face was passionate.
