Zhao Bing then further discussed with Jiang Jin about the strategy of capturing Chongqing and rebuilding the mountain city. The team formation, the selection of troops, the selection of weapons, the transfer of supplies, and the tactics adopted were carefully analyzed. Then, the Li army was negotiated, which could be organized according to tribal teams, but the Han army must be the leader. At the same time, the armed tribes of the Li tribes fleeing to the territory should be increased, and then sent back to participate in the fight, in order to intensify the unrest in Guangxi and avoid the emergence of a dominant tribe.

The battle for Dali not only involves how to use troops, but also involves the restrictions of the ancestor's family laws and the revision of the restriction of the throne's policies. This will take time to agree, and Zhao Bing doesn't need to ask that this will be another battle, which is no less intense than a war. So although he is anxious, he still has to calm down and talk to them. At the moment, he can only walk on two legs and prepare with both hands.

Zhao Bing knew in his heart that some ministers in the court were too concerned about him and were afraid that he would make mistakes. As long as the suggestions he made were made, they would have to weigh and discuss them repeatedly. If they wanted to make trouble, they would like to make trouble! So he asked Jiang Zheng to sort out what he was talking about today as soon as possible in his name, and it would be best to jointly sign with the generals. This would not only attract the attention of the Secretariat, but also take the opportunity to speak and promote this matter.

Jiang Jin was born into a family of officials. He witnessed the official struggle since childhood and naturally knew the truths and nodded. However, he also felt that the situation in the court was not so good at this time. It is very likely that someone secretly held his elbow and wanted to control and reduce his power, which forced the young emperor to find another way to achieve his goal.

"Your Majesty, is there anyone in the court who has many complaints about using troops?" Jiang Jin couldn't help asking.

As a witness to the fall of the country and the revival of the Song Dynasty, he certainly understood that the turning point between victory and defeat was after the little emperor ascended the throne. From weak to strong in the dynasty, the process of the dynasty was all based on his coordination and planning, otherwise there would not be a great situation today. Of course, the little emperor was not bad to the Jiang family. He was a senior official in the guardian of one side. His brother became the prime minister this time and ranked as the prime minister, continuing the glory of the Jiang family. In this way, both public and private, the Jiang family formed a community with the little emperor, which was a situation where all losses were lost. His defeat was the end of the Jiang family.

"Haha, this is nothing strange. There will always be different opinions on anything. I would rather be willing than before!" Zhao Bing said with a chuckling.

"Your Majesty, these people have really forgotten their roots. If His Majesty hadn't turned the tide back then, there would have been a day to return to Jiangnan. It's just a few days of comfortable life, and they are going to provoke again. It's really hateful!" Jiang Zheng clenched his fists and said.

"Shishou Jiangdu doesn't have to be angry. I don't hate having different opinions. After all, everyone has different experiences and insights. After all, Longsheng's nine sons still have their own preferences. I am also an individual, not a sage, and it's not a bad thing for someone to mention. Today's Jiangdu Jiangdu's words helped me solve the problem that I was thinking hard and difficult to solve!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty is beyond my mind, but someone dares to offend him. I will even say no to death.

"I am very grateful for Jiangdu's feelings!" Zhao Bing bowed and said, "At present, our dynasty's first priority is to expel the Tartars and restore our Central Plains. As long as it helps to complete this task, I can tolerate it and even give up power. But no matter who it is for the personal gain or the self-interest of a certain group, no matter who it is, I will expel it from the dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is wise. Even if I am thousands of miles away, I will summon some troops to clear the king's side." Jiang Zheng said with a polite manner.

"Your Majesty, Shangshu Chen and the owner of the manor come here according to the edict and request an interview!" Wang De came in and reported.

"Your Majesty, I will leave first!" Jiang Jin hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Well, it's good. Everyone is more handsome and I will submit the article as soon as possible today!" Zhao Bing thought about what he should say, nodded and said...

After seeing off Jiang Jin, Zhao Bing drank two cups of tea and rubbed his face with his hands to make himself more energetic. Although he had only one conversation, it also made him feel exhausted and felt that this emperor was not as good as the "Island Master". At that time, Qiongzhou was not as big as the Jiangnan Prefecture. Whether it was the population or the money and food, he knew everything he knew and could do without asking. But now it was not possible. All matters were complicated and the situation was endless, which made him feel a little overwhelmed, and this was just the beginning.

However, Zhao Bing had long realized that he was not a god, and it was impossible to solve all problems, nor could he understand every corner of his ruling area, nor could he solve every problem that arises. But at present, he cannot give up his power easily. You must know that everyone likes this thing, and it will be difficult to give it up and then come back, especially at the critical moment when the two powers are fighting each other, it only makes me suffer, it's pitiful!

"See Your Majesty!"

"No gifts, sit down!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked the two of them to avoid gifts and sat down opposite him. Wang De had already ordered Xiaohuangmen to clean up the table, remove the remaining tea, and send new tea.

"We are all my family, so there is no need to be polite!" Seeing that the two of them were asking for gratitude again, Zhao Bing waved his hand and said bluntly, "Yesterday, Shangshu Chen raised the chaos of currency in the palace. I think this matter is related to our lifeline. I specially asked the two to come and discuss it in order to solve it!"

"Sir Chen asked first!" Zhuang Shilin looked at Chen Zeweng and bowed his hand to speak.

"I'm disrespectful!" Chen Zeweng bowed to Zhuang Shilin and turned to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, now the copper coins minted by previous dynasties, copper coins minted by our dynasties and various iron coins, the remaining Huizi, and even the Zhiyuan banknotes of the Mongolian Yuan. The currency values ​​in various places are very confusing, which makes it difficult to count the taxes of the court and the difficulty of circulation!"

"After moving back to Jiangnan, did you issue an edict that Qiongzhou salt banknotes can be circulated in various parts of Jiangnan to replace old banknotes?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated the old files last year. During his tenure as Minister Yao Liangchen, he collected old banknotes and iron coins according to the edict, but according to the old rules of the previous dynasty, he exchanged 770 cents of small flat coins for one salt banknotes, and thirty one iron coins, and thirty one in the Yuan banknotes. However, he did not consider the unified acceptance of currency and style, so that some people took advantage of the different values ​​of currency in various places and made profits from it." Chen Zeweng replied.

"However, in the past year of implementation, the people still distrust the court. There are not many copper coins collected, but most of them are iron coins and Zhiyuan Banknotes. In fact, this is second-hand. What I am worried about is salt banknotes. Now the salt banknotes circulating in the market are divided into three types, but the value of the currency is different, and the salt accepted is also different. The salt banknotes have not set a acceptance period, and the currency value has been stable. Many merchants and people use it as savings, which makes me even more worried!"

"Shangshu Chen, please speak, don't worry too much!" Zhao Bing saw that he wanted to speak but stopped, and urged him.

"Your Majesty, the salt banknotes were originally matched by the salt production in Qiongzhou. How much salt is produced and how much salt is issued is only allowed to be passed in Qiongzhou. The court can effectively recycle the old dynasty. However, after it flowed into Jiangnan, it was still issued as follows. Now, the salt farms in Jiangnan have not yet been restored, and most of the salt comes from Qiongzhou, and the currency value can still be maintained. However, once more salt banknotes accumulate in the private sector, two situations will arise."

"One, the amount of salt output in Qiongzhou salt farm decreased, resulting in the inability to repay the salt banknotes, which would depreciate quickly and lose credit, causing the court's income to plummet; second, the Jiangnan salt farm restored, the output increased, and the issuance of salt banknotes also increased. Even if the court could still control the salt price, the flood of salt banknotes in the market would also lead to depreciation, and the consequences would be unimaginable." Chen Zeweng said worriedly.

"What do you think?" Zhao Bing thought for a moment after listening to it. He did not expect that salt is not a heavy metal such as gold and silver. Its output is limited and easy to control, and it is based on it to keep the currency stable. Although salt is a necessary item, it can be produced on a large scale, and the output is easily affected by external conditions such as climate, and its value fluctuates greatly. It can be implemented in a corner of Qiongzhou, which is also caused by external conditions. Now that this condition is lost, salt banknotes are OK as short-term securities, but they cannot work as currency.

"I think that the words of Shangshu Chen are reasonable." Zhuang Shilin said, "At present, the court pays salaries, pays military expenses and purchases are settled in salt banknotes and cash banknotes. In addition to physical goods and gold and silver, there are also some salt banknotes. Once the salt banknotes depreciate, it will not only affect the people, but even the court will not bear it." Although Zhuang Shilin did not say more, he had no objection to what he said.

"Well, in this way, only issuing new coins can solve the problem, but I am a little worried that the consequences will be even more serious if the issuance fails!" Zhao Bing frowned. He had already thought about the consequences of depreciation and looked up at the two people and said.

"Your Majesty is very worried, but my subordinates think that it is possible to control the situation if they issue new coins. If they are allowed to deteriorate, they will inevitably cause disaster!" Chen Zeweng said with politeness.

"I also know that this is related to the rise and fall of our dynasty. I wonder if Mr. Chen has a specific implementation plan to replace the old coins?" Zhao Bing also knew that monetary reform was imperative, but the measures he had replaced with salt banknotes at first were obviously unrealistic. This matter was not an ordinary matter, even more serious than the failure of a war. At that time, the economy collapsed, prices soared, the government lost its credit, and the people lost their hearts, and there was no room for recovery. But he knew some of the basics based on his memories of his previous life, but he had no practical experience at all, so he asked the two of them for advice.

"Your Majesty, I have no specific implementation plan at present, but the previous dynasty has an example to follow, so there is no big mistake to implement it accordingly!" Chen Zeweng replied.

"No, the strategy of the early dynasty has obviously failed, otherwise it would not lead to the court's inadequate income, the people's grievances are boiling, and the people's hearts are lost!" Zhuang Shilin waved his hands to express his opposition before the young emperor spoke.

"Then is there a proper way to do the manor?" Chen Zeweng turned his face and looked at him and asked.

"This... this, I have no feasible solution for the time being!" Zhuang Shilin knew that he could still manage his finances himself, but he had no experience or ability to operate such a large plate.

"Since that's the case, I have some ideas. Please refer to it first to see if it's feasible?" Seeing that both of them had no idea, Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and thought about it. It seemed that he was a half-baked guy, so why not let them listen first and make suggestions.

"I'm so proud of myself!" The two of them said in a polite manner.

"As far as I know, the issuance of currencies in all dynasties is a valuable item. After the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the coins were made of copper and iron, because the value of copper and iron is stable. At present, our dynasty has a low copper and iron production and wars are constantly inadequate, so it is still insufficient to build weapons. Therefore, I think issuing banknotes is still the best way to do it at present." Zhao Bing said, "We used salt as the guarantee of cashing out banknotes. Although we had already shown defects at this time, there was also experience to follow. In other words, gold and silver with more stable price than salt and copper and iron as the guarantee of redemption!"

"What Your Majesty thinks is feasible, but the gold and silver deposits in the Ministry of Revenue are limited, which is not enough to guarantee it!" Chen Zeweng thought for a while and said, but he also expressed his concerns.

"Shangshu Chen, there should be a lot of silk stored in the Ministry of Revenue's Left Library, and its value is equivalent to copper coins. It can be used as a guarantee for issuing new coins, and it will be gradually replaced by gold and silver in the future!" Zhuang Shilin proposed an alternative feasibility plan.

"What the owner of the manor said is good, how could I forget this festival!" Chen Zeweng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said. In fact, silk has been used as physical currency in all dynasties, and it is basically stable that a piece of silk is equal to a consistent amount of money, and even if there is any fluctuation, it will not be too great.

"Okay, let's first think this plan is feasible, and then talk about the currency issuance!" Zhao Bing recalled and then said, "I think the currency issuance should be the base of the taxes we collected that year. It should not be issued over-issuance to avoid depreciation; it should not be issued less, so as not to meet the circulation in the market. It will increase and decrease year by year to avoid losing control!"

"Your Majesty's intention is not to be issued according to the world. The printed banknotes will no longer be recycled, but will be circulated forever?" Zhuang Shilin understood a little and asked.

"It can also be said that, but paper money is not as good as copper coins, so the dull banknotes must be taken back. Moreover, our Song Dynasty was not always so poor. The gold and silver reserves increased, and paper money also had to be increased in response." Zhao Bing nodded, "So, the value of paper money is equal to the corresponding value of gold and silver, and must be relatively stable and cannot be changed at will. It is mandatory in the early stage and will be controlled by the court!"

"Well... Your Majesty's words seem to be reasonable, but there are still many copper and iron coins in the people, and it is very difficult to recover them. Moreover, the value of the currency varies from place to place. It may be difficult to implement it by force with paper money!" Chen Zeweng probably understood it, but thought it was very difficult to operate.
Chapter completed!
