Zhao Bing thought for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After he arrived in Qiongzhou, he vigorously rectified the Li clan. In fact, he used the conflicts between various tribes and the deterrence of his increasingly powerful force, and even sacrificed his own marriage and did not hesitate to marry the Li clan, so that he could realize the so-called "change of land and return to the current" in the so-called banishing area in the past.

However, even so, Zhao Bing spent ten years in Qiongzhou, and the power of the court failed to fully cover the entire island. There were still life spans in the deep mountains far away from post roads and prefectures. Fortunately, their number was small and was no longer enough to pose a threat to him. If it was developed for a period of time, frequent exchanges between the two sides might be able to realize the desire to unify the entire island.

Zhao Bing has learned a lesson and some experience. He was wondering why it took two thousand years to the Ming and Qing dynasties to be late, and why there was such a large area in the southwest region that had not been under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains dynasty and was still difficult to control? Instead, through the throne system, these areas have been extremely loosely controlled, but have never ruled in a full sense.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Bing suddenly realized that whether it was raw or mature li, they were the real masters. Faced with a large number of migrating military farms, pioneering and occupying arable land, and the government that was constantly grabbing and exploiting the wealth of the people, they would certainly not welcome them. They judged others by themselves, and were also fighting against the invading Mengyuan itself, and wanted to drive them out. Similarly, the people also used the slogan of "exporting the people and returning the old land" to resist the government and resisting the invasion of the Han people.

The answer is about to come out. No one is happy with those who break into their home without authorization. These outsiders do not regard themselves as outsiders, not only do they rely on themselves but also plunder their wealth and land. Then resistance is inevitable. For thousands of years, this concept has taken root in the hearts of the people and is deeply rooted. It is almost impossible to change their minds in a short period of time. And by conquest, they can only manage for a while, and they also need to use a large amount of troops and consume huge financial resources.

The reason why Zhao Bing stopped at the front line of Qinzhou under a good situation was that he did not want to get involved in the fight with the Li people and dragged into endless rebellion. He only created unrest by assassinating the king of Yunnan to prevent the Mongols from threatening his safety from the flanks. In doing so, he was also afraid of difficulties and did not believe that he could solve this problem that had been around for thousands of years.

However, after Yingjieyan mentioned this, the matter had reached a point where it had to be solved, which made Zhao Bing feel very troubled. The difficulty of doing it was obvious; if he didn't do it, the Li District would still become a bridgehead for the Mongolian Yuan to attack the Song Dynasty, which was always a concern for him. If he rashly entered the Li District and advanced to the Dali area, it would be difficult to gain a foothold without corresponding policies, and the waste of money and grain would be definitely not a small amount, and the troops would be dragged there.

Ying Jieyan also saw the little emperor's hesitation, and knew that the Western Expedition was also a major event that affected the whole body. If he responded at the moment, it would not be in line with his style of doing things, so he changed the topic. Tomorrow is the day when the yamen was opened after the New Year. As usual, a grand court meeting was held to determine the major events of the New Year and arrange work. The two of them would be angry first, and Lin'an Mansion would also say hello first.

As the master and apprentice spoke, it was noon and he quit. After leaving the palace, he turned to Xu Guogong's mansion in a sedan chair and told him that the matter here had been finalized. One was to reassure him and follow his promise. In addition, he also did his skills on the surface. He quickly submitted a memorial to apologize, admitted his mistakes to the emperor, and asked for punishment. In this way, everyone looked good, after all, they had to be relatives in the future...

After lunch, Zhao Bing did not take a nap but stayed in the study to prepare for tomorrow's dynasty meeting. In fact, he knew that there was nothing to say at such a dynasty meeting. He also needed to discuss with the prime ministers and then discuss it through the court. After the result was obtained, the two provinces reported it to him. After the imperial approval, the imperial edict was issued to execute it. However, there was still a draft of the ingenuity. In addition to the upcoming provincial affairs and palace examinations, there were also the transfer of officials, appointments and how to crack the possible offensives launched by the Mongol Yuan.

At the next day, Zhao Bing first appointed Jiang Yan and Wang Yinglin as the chief ministers. Chen Renweng took over as Minister of War, and immediately went to Beijing to perform his duties after receiving the imperial edict; Liu Shiyong, the assistant secretary of the Privy Council, took over as the defense envoy of the Yangtze River Navy, and transferred Han Zhen, the general manager of the Jiangxi military commander, to the co-magistrate of the Privy Council; at the same time, Xiong He was promoted to the Minister of Rites. After the imperial edict, some officials were surprised and some were happy, but everyone saw that the sky was about to change. One of the Jiang family became prime minister and the other was in the mansion, and it would not take long for the former glory to be reappeared; and the daughter of the Chen family was a concubine, and two ministers were born in one family, and they were already a new crown prince in the court.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Wanyi, the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, issued a memorial report that the case of Xianping Hou had been tried. He intercepted the sage and spoke disrespectful words, all because his family was not strict in discipline and careless in making friends, which led to his arrogant behavior and no one ordered him to investigate. However, he was punished according to the law and asked for the execution of the order. Then an official came forward to plead for mercy, saying that the father of Xianping Hou had fought hard for his country, and he asked for mercy for mercy. Duke Xu also quickly submitted a memorial to sue himself.

Zhao Bing pretended to scold him, and after proclaiming some clichés that "the prince violated the law and committed the same crimes among the common people", he still asked all officials to request him to forgive him for his death, but he could not escape the crime of living, and he was given a title and was assigned to him for 500 miles. As a royal relative, the Wu family also had the crime of not being strict in control. Those with relatives who had titles were demoted to one level, and those who entered the government returned to their hometown to think about their mistakes. Thinking of the loyalty and kindness of the Wu family for generations, Duke Xu admitted his mistakes and ordered him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

Then, Xu Zongren, the Minister of Rites, submitted a memorial to the spring examination, and requested the emperor to set the date and examiner. The chief examiner of the provincial examination was called the president, who was appointed as the first-rank senior official, and three vice presidents were also required to be the first-rank senior official, and all of them were required to be the first-rank senior official. In addition, there were 18 examiners, all of whom were the Jinshi officials. In addition, there were two invigilators, who were also the first-rank official and second-rank official, and there were many other officials in charge.

Zhao Bing immediately issued an order to take the exam with strict discipline. Liu Fu, Xu Zongren and Deng Wen were the deputy examiners, and all other officials were appointed before they were agreed upon. The provincial affairs were scheduled to be held on February 20, and the palace examination was held ten days after the list was released. The military examination was scheduled to be held on March 15, to select civil and military talents for the country. The Ministry of Works also ordered the Ministry of Works to renovate the examination house, build a shed, and transfer the guard examination room of the Third Regiment of the Guard Brigade to assist the Ministry of Rites in advising illegal laws.

Then the Privy Councilor Zhang Shijie initiated a report that the Jiyisi reported that the Goryeo Navy in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty showed signs of southern transfer, and the Mongolian army stationed in Huaixi was also cutting down trees and making giant rafts, which seemed to invade the south, and proposed to prepare early. Chen Zeweng, Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, reported that the country has temporarily used salt banknotes instead of money, but gold, silver, copper coins and iron coins are parallel, resulting in different currency values ​​in various places, and there is already chaos, so the currency value must be unified earlier. Other officials also reported their respective situations to seek the holy decision.

After the scattered dynasty, Zhao Bing left behind the ministers to discuss matters, demanding that they express their opinions on the country, and order and military affairs, and submit memorials in detail. He also ordered the Privy Council and the generals in Beijing to formulate plans for the current situation, agree on the combat plan, and then conduct public discussions. After returning to the harem, he still felt uneasy, thinking that it was still a matter of money, which was not a small matter. Once there was a problem in this matter, the matter would be big, which would seriously affect economic development and even cause a crisis.

You should know that before the Yuan Dynasty, ancient China used copper coins as legal currency, and generally one thousand documents were used as one, but fluctuations occurred in various periods. In the late Tang Dynasty, it began to decrease clearly. The court announced that 800 was considered as 1,700, and in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it became less and less, and became more and more chaotic. In the early Song Dynasty, it was decided by itself. There were 800, and the most excessive number was 48. The court unified the 770 cents of the dynasty was equal to 1,770 cents. However, local governments may not strictly implement it.

What made Zhao Bing puzzled was that the Song Dynasty and other unified dynasties strived for the unification of the currency system. It seemed weak from the beginning. The currency system never thought of unifying it. Most areas such as the Central Plains used copper coins, and Sichuan-based iron coins should not flow out, and copper coins should not flow out of the outside. Shaanxi, Hedong copper coins were used as well, and some areas such as Fujian and Lingnan also used iron coins. Sichuan, which used iron coins, "a piece of iron is 20,000 yuan."

And the difference between the Han Dynasty was the Wuzhu coins used in the Han Dynasty, and the few types of heavy treasure coins were used in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty mainly used the year-name coins, and the Song Dynasty changed the Yuan Dynasty frequently. There were twenty-seven types of year-name coins and three non-year coins, and the Southern Song Dynasty had eighteen types of year-name coins and three non-year coins. The currency value was different. The traditional one-cent coin was called Xiaoping coins, and the coins of the coins were Xiaoping, two, three, five, and ten. The materials were copper coins and iron coins and copper-iron mixed-cast coins. Among them, the coins were different according to the quality, and the names of the coins were Yuanbao, Tongbao, Chongbao, etc. Many of the coins were minted by each coin supervisor, and they could only be circulated in designated areas.

The copper content of copper coins has a lot to do with the value of the currency. The copper content of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Tang Dynasty was about 80%, while the Song Dynasty was getting lower and lower, and the early Song Dynasty was about 60%. During the Huizong period, Cai Jing cast tin coins with only 50% copper, but one-fold two-fold copper coins. When the copper content of ten coins was not more than three times that of small flat coins, the currency value was ten times that of small flat coins.

According to market rules, it is unstoppable for bad coins to drive out good coins. Copper coins, especially small-denomination copper coins, have largely withdrawn from the circulation field, but flow into the storage field. The circulating on the market are all large-denomination copper coins. In areas where iron coins are common, iron coins will naturally drive copper coins out of the market. People who make counterfeit banknotes naturally focus on the ten coins, and various private stolen mints, melting three small flat coins can make one ten coins. The profit is simply not prohibited.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, various bad policies of the Northern Song Dynasty coins continued to exist in the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to prevent copper coins from flowing into the Jin Kingdom, Jiangbei and Sichuan used iron coins as a standard paper money, and often ordered the ban on copper coins from flowing into the Jiangbei. At the same time, paper money was used in large quantities. The copper content of copper coins continued to gradually decrease, and the copper coins cast by the imperial court were often exchanged for various overseas goods by foreign ships.

Finally, it is difficult to count how many types of money there are in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Bing couldn't figure it out anyway. He estimated that there were at least a few hundred types. This led to problems in the exchange of coins of various specifications. The court was also fickle, changing the value of money, and changing the value of money was common. The same money, "Jinghu, Jiangnan, Liangzhe, and Huainan Chongbao coins were the three, and in Beijing, Jingjin, Beijing, East and West, Hedong, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Xihe were the five." The value of currency in different places can also be different!

Jiaozi, Huizi, which was blown by later generations, was not so beautiful and very chaotic. The banknotes were not as good as the early stage, but the depreciation accelerated in the medium stage, and the vicious inflation in the later stage showed an exponential trend. During the Renzong period, Jiaozi was first issued, and iron coins were based in Sichuan. One world was based on 1.256,340 pieces, and three years were used as one world to exchange for a new Jiaozi. This kind of banknote can only be used in Sichuan and cannot be used in other regions.

Subsequently, due to the military pay issue in the northwest of Shenzong, the Jiaozi was established in Hedong and Shaanxi, and Jiaozi was issued, and the copper and iron coins were circulated together. The Jiaozi in Shaanxi was once abolished. The circulation time of each Jiaozi in Sichuan was extended to four years, and the Jiaozi in the market was increased a lot. After Shaosheng, the Zhensheng increased the construction rate to buy and recruit soldiers in Shaanxi. The few were hundreds of thousands of shreds, and the most were millions of shreds; and the use of Chengdu was also required to print, so there was no fixed number of books every year.

How much was issued in the end, it was still a confusing amount, and no one knew how much it was issued. Later, Huizong changed the name of the banknote to "Qianyin". At this time, the issuance volume of the first realm had reached the initial twenty times, and it was exchanged for a new Jiaozi one and four, but the banknote was still 360,000 yuan of iron coins from Renzong that year, and later it increased to 500,000 yuan. You can imagine how the currency value was. Then the money induced forty-one to forty-two realms still expired and was not exchanged, which was equivalent to being invalid. At this time, a scattered money was only worth more than ten cents.

So the "repeated law" began to "follow the old method" again, and the value of the money rayon once rose, but it was not far from the end. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, due to the war, during the Shaoxing period, Sichuan's money rayons were passed through the three realms, and the number of issuances reached more than 37.8 million steep. At the end, it increased to more than 41.47 million steep, while all iron coins were only 700,000 steep. Later, the war stopped and the situation subsided, so the Huaixi, Huguang Guanzi were issued each, and the Huaidong Gong was 400,000 steep, Guanzi was exchanged for three years, and Guanzi was occupied for two years.

The following year, Huizi was issued in Lin'an. Huizi was originally only allowed to be circulated in Liangzhe, but later it was allowed to be circulated in Huguang, Huainan and other places. The circulation volume quickly reached a very terrible number. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, Huizi was out of the internal treasury and Nanku silver was collected by one million. The depreciation was imagined. In the fourth year of Qiandao, it was stipulated that three years were established as one realm, and each realm was limited to 10 million treasury. The currency value of Huizi was temporarily stable for a while. At the same time, three million treasurys were issued, especially used in Lianghuai, as well as Huguang Huizi and Sichuan Jiaozi, all based on iron coins. Later, they also added printings repeatedly and extended periods. One tael of silver was at least equivalent to dozens of treasurys.
