Lu Jia asked about living in his son-in-law's house these days, while being sad and sad, he was thinking about how to provoke the struggle between Wu Haogu and the New Party. In his opinion, both sides were treacherous parties! Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, Gao Qiu were treacherous villains! Zeng Bu and Zhao Tingzhi and others were treacherous hypocrites. Only he himself, as well as Liu Kui, Jian Xuchen, Jiang Zhiqi, and An Tao, were the real gentlemen.

There are so few gentlemen in the Song Dynasty court nowadays! Therefore, we must use some villain methods to defeat all kinds of treacherous parties.

Lu Jiawen's villain's method was to let the treacherous party, the new party, or even the old party bit the dog! No matter who bites to death, it would be a great traitor for the Song Dynasty. If both sides could be injured, it would be a blessing for the Song Dynasty.

Just when he made up his mind, the Wenquxing Xunbao began to promote the transportation of grain in the north and south. Lu Jiawen, who was very sensitive to economic issues, immediately thought that Wu Haogu was preparing to make huge profits through the transportation of grain in the north and south.

However, he did not know the situation of Liaodong Road in Liao, nor did he know how the domestic economy of Liao was circulating, so he did not expect that Wu Haogu prepared the simplest "use inferior as good" method, using cheap Liaodong wheat instead of high-priced Jianghuai wheat.

However, he, a gentleman, thought of a way to make money that Wu Haogu himself had not expected to control the financial resources of the Song Dynasty!

To control the financial situation of the Song Dynasty, salt and tea entries are entrances. The "second entries" are not excessive, but are appropriately issued bills based on the production and sales of salt and tea. There are two ways to obtain salt and tea entries. One is to spend money to purchase them from the entries shop or designated entries; the other is to transport the grain to the designated location and then send the goods to the goods entries.

"Although salt and tea entries are super-expressed, they are all in the end." Lu Jiawen frowned and said, "The court has always had the practice of loosening and tightening copper coins. Anyone who can use salt and tea entries to pay the bills will not use copper coins. In other words, if Wu Haogu could really transport 1 million stones of rice to Baibo of Luoyang a year, then he could get at least 2 million yuan worth of entries. Considering the discount on the entries, the face value of these entries can reach at least 2.7 million yuan.

If all tea entries were taken, Wu Haogu could control more than 40% of the total tea entries distributed by the court within one year."

Lu Jia asked, holding his beard, showing a bit of lust, "With these 40% of the tea price, whether the tea price will rise or fall, he can say that Wu Haogu can. At that time, all the wealthy merchants in Jieshi Lane who have gold and silver mountains will have to follow their lead! Just manipulating the tea price can earn hundreds of thousands or millions every year!

Moreover, once the Jieshi Lane is taken down by Wu Haogu, he can control more than the price of tea in the future, but even the exchange price of copper coins, iron coins, gold and silver and silk... The Jiehe Market run by Wu Haogu is based on silk! If silk can become the foundation of various money in the world, the financial resources of the treacherous party are really able to fight against the country!"

Manipulating tea entries is already a huge profit! But compared with silk, tea entries are much smaller in scale.

Moreover, tea indices are just a kind of bill or exchange coupon. At some point, they can replace currency, but they are not real currency. However, silk still had a currency status in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the currency status of silk in Jiehe Shangshi, Liao and Goryeo countries is even no less than that of copper coins.

Due to the two major problems of excessive money making and cutting corners, copper coins have always had problems with excessive fluctuations in value. In other words, copper coins are obviously a metal currency, but because of the casting and labor of large coins, they have gradually become a semi-metal and semi-credit currency.

The value of copper coins has also begun to appear unstable. In the diplomatic affairs of Song and Liao, the status of copper coins is even worse than that of silk and silk. The Northern Song Dynasty paid half of silver and silk to Liao. No copper coins were available. There was nothing wrong with copper coins. Empress Xiao was not a fool. How could she accept the copper coins of Song with uneven quality? And it was impossible for the Khitans to test copper coins one by one, right? This matter is quite complicated. If you are honest with the Khitans, you will definitely be deceived by the Song people.

This is why Wu Haoqiu has developed a "silk-based" position in Jiehe Market. Compared with copper coins, silk is relatively easy to figure out. There are standards for length, width and weight, and the quality is easy to define.

In contrast, it is hard to say about copper coins. The weight, the quality, the material, and the discount of large coins (when it was issued, it was the top ten coins, and later it was the third and the second was the circulation), and some places also cast iron coins (Sichuan, Fujian), which is really complicated, even the accounting office in Jieshen Lane is a headache to see it.

Moreover, the value of copper coins is low, and a slightly larger transaction is tens of thousands or tens of thousands. Who can check the money one by one? Even if you borrow it, you can't test it. The copper coins they enter and exit every day are counted in tens of millions of yuan. Not to mention checking it.

So copper coins are a headache for all big businessmen. Of course, they like it, but it’s too troublesome to count and test it…

For the "bankers" in Jiesinxiang, they cannot mint money themselves, so they cannot control the quality of money. There is also a phenomenon of bad money driving out good money on the market, so the money circulated to them is often of poor quality. It is inevitable to lose money if you collect all orders, and the cost is too high to check one by one.

Therefore, the ideal state is to base silk (the stock of gold and silver was too small in the Song Dynasty, so it was difficult to be the basis of currency), and at the same time, "silk private relationship" (large transferable certificates of deposit). First, silk has a high value and light weight, which is suitable for bulk transactions; second, silk was produced privately in the Song Dynasty, with controllable quality and limited output, and it was not "as the top ten silks", so it was even more impossible to use linen to fill silk (similar to iron coins).

"If you can control the tea guide, you can lead the world and the world and the world and the world and the world will be able to promote the silk position in the world sooner or later!"

Relying on his solid financial skills, Lu Jiawen has now thought of Wu Haogu's front. He said with certainty: "Once the silk line is implemented, the lifeline of the country will be controlled by the profiteering businessmen!"

"Is silk a good base?" An Tao's economic mind was relatively poor and he didn't understand for a moment. "The quality of copper coins on the market is indeed a headache."

Jiang Zhiqi, who had been a six-way shipping envoy for a long time, frowned and said, "Copper coins are a headache, but they are cast by officials! The silk is produced by the people. If the silk from the people replaces the money from the government and becomes the foundation of finance, then the wealth in the world will fall into the hands of the civil unscrupulous businessmen?"

Lu Jia asked, nodded, and added: "The people have always had the bad habit of saving good money and using bad money, so most of the money handed over to the official treasury is bad money. Once silk is the basis, the bad money in the official treasury may depreciate significantly."

"So that's it!" An Tao nodded, "It's really a traitor!" He glanced at Jiang Zhiqi, "Uncle Ying, why not report together to prevent Jiehe Maritime Shipping Bureau from taking over the activities of transporting grain from the north and the south."

"No!"

The one who spoke was Lu Jiawen.

"Look at me?" An Tao looked at Lu Jia and asked, but saw that the other party's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Lu Jia asked in a deep voice: "Huqing forgot that the north and the military camp in the north are in the state?" He almost gritted his teeth and said, "The north and south are transported through Jiehe Commercial City, because the sea ships cannot enter the Yellow River, and they must exchange the inland river brigade ships in Jiehe. Jiehe... but Wu Haogu's territory! Will he let the Sixth Delivery Department transport rice and grain smoothly across Jiehe Commercial City?"

An Tao and Jiang Zhiqi took a breath at the same time and almost fell into Wu Haogu's trap! If the Sixth Route Shipping Department was asked to handle it, Wu Haogu had too many ways to prevent the rice and grain from being transported to the place on time. By then, he would naturally be able to eat this big deal openly, just like he did at Kaifeng Prefecture Real Estate!

An Tao said: "It seems that to successfully control the transportation of grain in the north and the south, you have to take down Jiehe Market!"

Lu Jia asked coldly: "Can you get it?

Jiehe Commercial City was jointly organized by Song and Liao! Will the Khitans promised that our dynasty take over the Commercial City? And what kind of people are the shareholders of the Commercial City? Are they willing to spit out the fat meat they ate into their mouths by obediently?"

Although Jiehe Commercial City is still in the period of concentrated construction, Jiehe Commercial City has not begun to distribute dividends to shareholders. However, the prospects of the commercial market are already very clear and the future is bright! It will not only become a transit station for grain transfer between Song and Liao countries, but also a transit station for livestock and timber transportation in Liao countries! It will also become a trading center for fur, medicinal materials, and eagle harrier produced by the Liao Dynasty Tokyo Road. There are also a large number of nobles from Liao countries who are treating Jiehe Commercial City as a retreat... These benefits alone are enough to turn Jiehe Commercial City into a fat and oily transaction? Who is willing to hand it over?

The way to seize people's wealth is like killing their parents! The Song Dynasty was a filial piety ruled the world. There were so many wealthy and powerful "filial sons" in Kaifeng Prefecture who were not looking for An Tao, and Jiang Zhiqi fought desperately?

"What should I do?" An Tao asked, "Is it possible to watch the traitor become bigger like this?"

"Hmph!" Lu Jia asked and snorted coldly, then said to the two visitors: "Can my son-in-law Jian Suzhi be the six-way shipping envoy?"

"Look at it," Jiang Zhiqi understood a little, "What do you mean is to let Shuzhi detain the rice and grain from the sixth route in the southeast, and not give it to Jiehe Maritime?"

"Of course not," Lu Jia asked sneered, "If that were the case, the Wu surname would have something to say."

"Wangzhi, what are you going to do?"

Lu Jia asked: "Of course, it is the Jiehe Maritime Bureau who is fully responsible for purchasing and transportation... Don't the one named Wu want tea entries? Then give him tea entries.

The two are Privy Councillors. The Northwest Army has been short of food for a long time. You happened to report to the official to transport the north and south to fill the granary of the sixth route of the Northwest.
