Chapter 1722 Wen Yanbo is playing with the political affairs hall(1/2)
Too much money?
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment.
Han Jiang continued: "A million yuan is enough. Besides, the money can only be put in the money house. However, the money is one cent, and you will have to pay back two cents at that time. Your Majesty..."
Everyone was stunned.
Han Qi murmured: "Do you have to stop me?"
Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, I must stop it, otherwise there will be at least 20 million yuan. In this way, I will have to give you an additional two million yuan in profit in the end."
Two million is not a small number, and the current balance of the Song Dynasty in one year is this number.
"Give!"
Zhao Shu's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Just collect it, but..." Since Zhao Shu wanted to use this loan as a dividend, and to unite people to support the new policy, he naturally would not stop borrowing, but the people can do it, so let's forget those who sell tens of thousands of yuan at any time.
"Let Chen An privately warn those rich merchants..."
Han Jiang understood the gods and said, "I will go later."
When Chen An took action, the rich merchants naturally stopped, so that the court could give less profit.
The discussion will be completed later and everyone will disperse.
After leaving the hall, Han Qi said: "The official family wants to gather people's hearts, but the price is not small, two million yuan!"
"In the past century, the people's morale was raised, but in the end, people's hearts were not gathered. The government's move was very beneficial, and two million yuan was worth it, and I think it was worth it!" Bao Zheng often chatted with Shen An and had all the topics, so he naturally agreed with this move.
"It will be easier to break off the loan from the Haoshang." Han Jiang was full of confidence and felt that Sansi would definitely be able to make a beautiful turnaround this time.
"So much money!" Before leaving the imperial city, I saw several officials talking with excited expressions.
"What's the money?" The prime ministers were a little curious.
The clerks saluted, and one of them said, "Dear Masters, Chen Longtu took dozens of wealthy merchants and pulled countless copper coins and paper money to the money house, saying that there were millions of coins!"
Han Jiang's face turned pale, "Millions of coins?"
One more profit is hundreds of thousands of chunks.
Chen An, you are lacking in great virtue!
The prime ministers were in trouble, and Han Qi said: "The officials are about to speak in this matter. Chen An is suspected of deceiving the emperor..."
Bao Zheng immediately argued: "The official's decision has not yet left the palace! What does it have to do with Shen An?"
"Let him stop it!" Zeng Gongliang said: "Even if the money is entered into the bank, he will return it to them with paper money, so quiet that no one knows it."
Han Qi felt that Lao Zeng was a little slim.
But this is a good idea.
So someone went to Yulin Lane and later came back and said, "Chen An said this move would be of great benefit."
"He refused?" Han Qi was also annoyed, "report to the government and let the government deal with him."
Bao Zheng didn't say anything.
He endorsed Chen An and spoke with the opportunity. If the wrong timing would arouse disgust among the monarch and his subjects.
Later, Chen An came and went in to meet the official family.
He left after coming out later, and it was reported that he was very swaying.
"The official said that this matter doesn't need to be taken care of."
Chen Zhongheng came to inform the news in person.
"What does it mean?" Han Qi held his cheek with one hand, and the fat on his face was squeezed aside.
Chen Zhongheng said: "My husband Wen knows about this."
Old Wen?
A fierce look flashed in Han Qi's eyes, and the alarm bell kept ringing.
"Please come and discuss matters." He glanced at his colleagues and everyone nodded in unison.
Since Han Qi became prime minister, the honeymoon between the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council ended, and the so-called dispute between the two governments originated at this stage.
Now Han Qi said that he was asking Wen Yanbo to discuss matters, and that was to be prepared to warn him.
Lao Wen, don’t mess with me! Otherwise, I will deal with you!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Putting aside the rules of civil and military control, just because Wen Yanbo is the boss of the old party, it is enough to make the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall share the same hatred against him.
Wen Yanbo came later and looked kind.
Everyone greeted and sat down.
The duty room has been temporarily renovated, with the prime ministers on one side, and there is a stool on the opposite side.
This is the rhythm of being judged!
Wen Yanbo sat down with a smile, looked at the four prime ministers opposite and said, "The weather is good today."
The prime ministers' aura was smeared by such a sentence.
Han Qi said lightly: "Bianliang merchants lend money to money houses, why don't they stop this?"
This question is very arrogant.
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Why do you want to stop it? This is a good thing."
"Hundreds of thousands of taxes of profit are also trivial?"
Hundreds of thousands of coins are not small things, but not big things.
Han Qi invited Wen Yanbo to come with great fanfare, and this was to give him a warning.
Since Lao Wen served as Privy Councilor, he has only been helping with the Political Affairs Hall, so Han Qi has no chance to find an opportunity to give him a chance. So he often nagged: "How can I stab Wen Kuanfu in a knife?"
Today is a God-given opportunity, and Han Qi grabbed it with a clue.
"The profit of hundreds of thousands of chunks of yuan is quite large, but compared with this, does Han Xiangke know what those wealthy merchants are doing now?"
Wen Yanbo smiled at Han Qi gently and said, "Those wealthy merchants who had just obtained the credit certificate for their loans and had food in the north immediately asked to go to the north and sell the grain from their grain stores to local governments at a low price. Dozens of merchants, all kinds of supplies needed for the Northern Expedition, said that they could solve 30% of the problem as soon as they opened their mouths... Han Xiang, do you know how much benefit this is?"
Han Qi was stunned, and then sneered: "Why are they... why? Is it for the profits of hundreds of thousands of yuan?"
"Hundreds of thousands of pounds of profit... they can get it even when doing business." Wen Yanbo looked at Han Qi with a little more meaningful look, "But once the Northern Expedition is successful, does Han Xiang know how many things will be sold?"
The land of Youyan has been in the hands of the Liao people for many years. Needless to say, the various supplies of the government are, and there is no need to mention the wealthy and powerful families.
The Song Dynasty is not the way it was when it was founded. It was like taking people to loot and keeping good things privately. Such behavior would not work at this moment. Once it was reported, all the credit would be erased and all the punishment would be punished.
All the things and food in the court will be sold for money and food.
"They want this?" Han Qi thought for a while, "It's still not enough."
Those treasures are sold at a price, and even if they are lower, they are not enough to compensate for the losses of these merchants.
"The powerful and gentry of the Liao people had a lot of land in their hands. What if they added these?"
Wen Yanbo was still calm, but Han Qi was shocked, "There are a lot of those fields. If the Northern Expedition wins, how many people will stare at it? The court does not have a brigade, so what are the fields left? They can only be sold, but unless a large number of people are migrating over there, no one will cultivate the fields..."
Zeng Gongliang's eyes lit up, "But those rich merchants and powerful people like to buy land the most. They sell the land to those rich merchants in this way, and they get money in the court and return their favors. And if they buy the land, they will definitely need people to cultivate it, and in this way they will recruit tenants from the south..."
Bao Zheng couldn't help but say, "The fields in the Song Dynasty have long been inseparable. Generations of farmers were born, and each generation had less fields than the other. In a few generations, farmers in the Song Dynasty would have no land to plant.
Once you acquire Youyan, there will be a lot of land without owners, which will just take over the landless farmers in the south.
Those wealthy chambers of commerce did it themselves, and they took care of the money and food along the way. In this way, the things that the court should have paid a large sum of money and food were actually done without spending a penny. Great mercy!”
Bao Zheng looked at Wen Yanbo with more relief.
This old friend was dormant in the Privy Council and seemed to be silent, but once he took action, he was quick, accurate and ruthless, and solved the matter perfectly and had many benefits.
What about this method...Han Qi?
Bao Zheng took a look.
Han Qi recovered from his joyful mood at this moment, and he looked dull, "This is not bad."
Is this envy, jealousy, hate?
Bao Zheng sighed, thinking that Han Qi's temperament of joy and anger is really good.
If you have such a person as the prime minister, at least you don’t have to worry too much about being stabbed by him in the back.
But Wen Yanbo is really outstanding this time.
Zeng Gongliang praised without any concealment: "This strategy of Wen Xiang is perfect. Several parties have considered it and all parties have gained benefits, but the biggest benefit is the court."
He stood up and bowed: "I admire you!"
Bao Zheng praised: "The literary figure is very good."
Fu Bi smiled and said, "Not bad."
