It started to snow when Su Che left the palace.

It was not tiny snowflakes, but goose feather-like snowflakes, mixed with ice slags, which were picked up by the strong wind crossing Xiyu Street, and then hit Su Xianggong's old face hard.

Although the wind and snow hit the face, Su Che, who was old and stronger, was completely unsatisfied and just drove his horse forward against the wind and snow.

On both sides of Xiyu Street, many tall and grand buildings have appeared in recent years, mostly shops of gold and silver silk shops and temple Changshengku. The "financial center" originally concentrated in Jieshen Lane has now moved to Xiyu Street outside the Qionglin Palace.

Oh, there are two very special businesses that specialize in gold, silver, silk, copper coins, namely Jiehe Bank and Jingdong Bank. They were split and expanded on the basis of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple after seizing control of the Sanfoqi Strait under the Hailu Maritime Control Department. The major shareholders of these two banks are Jiehe Market, Jingdong Market, Nanxindao Market, Republican Bank, Pan Family Gold, Silver, Silk and Silk Market, Daxiangguo Temple, and the Great Education Group, etc.

The so-called "bank" is said to be named "Silver and Money Commercial Bank", and its business is similar to the gold, silver, silk shop and temple immortality warehouse. However, because there are three major markets that are rich and rich, the credits of these two banks are far from ordinary gold, silver, silk, and silk, and even the immortality warehouses of many temples are not as good as them.

Therefore, these two banks have the ability to absorb savings with lower interest rates and have opened many stores to absorb savings in Kaifeng Prefecture and the two major cities. Semi-colons have also been started in Xuzhou, Daming Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture, Yingchuan Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Pingjiang Jun, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Nanxindao.

In addition, they also joined forces with Christie's and Polytechnic, as well as a group of larger gold, silver and silk exchange shops and Changshengku, to open money exchange exchanges in Kaifeng Prefecture, Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City. They are used to conduct interbank lending and determine the exchange transaction price between gold, silver, copper, and silk exchanges, as well as the interest rate.

Su Che glanced at the facades of Jiehe Bank Building and Jingdong Bank Building standing shoulder to shoulder. It was almost dusk and it was still snowing heavily, but the horse tying pillars and parking spaces in front of the two buildings were still full.

"It seems that the heads of the money industry in the whole city have gathered together."

Xue Sichang's throat was a little hoarse when he spoke, and he looked a little tired, obviously tired. Since Ji Yi and the Jingdong Maritime Mansion Office Su Shi delivered the memorial on "tribute gold and silver", the entire Kaifeng Prefecture's bank and money industry, Xue Sichang, the Minister of Revenue, and Fan Chuncui, and the Taifu Temple Minister, have all fallen into an unprecedented excitement and anxiety.

The excitement was because there was too much gold and silver for foreign countries to "pay tribute"! According to the estimates of the Jingdong Maritime Mansion, which is responsible for temporarily collecting these tributes, the four countries, including the Great Food Kingdom, the Zhuinian Kingdom, the Polo Kingdom, and the Sanfoqi Kingdom, sent a total of about 1.55 million taels of gold to the Song Dynasty court, and there were no less than 4 million taels of silver.

In addition, Ji Yi also brought back the tax revenue accumulated by the Sanfoqi Maritime Warehouse for a period of time, with a total of 110,000 taels of gold and 520,000 taels of silver.

In other words, in terms of statistics, the Song Dynasty court earned 1.66 million taels of gold and 4.52 million taels of silver in a very short time!

And the part that has not been counted is probably no less than this number!

If the gold and silver are converted into copper coins, it will be almost ten million coins.

More than 10 million yuan seems to be a small amount. If you buy a house in Kaifeng Prefecture, you will only have hundreds of "Shikumen". However, compared with the financial system of the Song Dynasty, there is an unexpected inflow of massive capital.

You should know that the main tone of the Song Dynasty's finance has always been "money shortage". In order to solve the "money shortage", the court can be said to have tried its best and racked its brains.

But now there is a sudden turn of 180 degrees, and the money shortage has turned into more money.

Of course, more than 10 million more is not a big deal. But the question is whether there will be more than a few million every year? So after the excitement, everyone began to worry again.

What Ji Yi brought back was only gold and silver, and there was no copper. Since there was so much gold and silver overseas, what about the amount of copper? If there was a lot of copper that could flow in, wouldn’t it really be like going from a waste of money to a lot of money? How could the silver and money industry, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who manages the national finance, and the officials of Taifu Temple who were responsible for minting money, not be mind-wrenching?

Officials can still live a life in this regard, and can those who do money business and make a living without understanding it? If you don’t understand it, you have to do the opposite direction and calculate the exchange price and interest rate incorrectly, you will lose everything.

The most troublesome question to the officials is how Ji Yi got more than ten million...

No one would believe it.

The Song Dynasty was not a dynasty of the country that was closed to foreigners, so it was still a little bit clear about the situation outside. No one’s money was blown by the strong wind! Why give it to the Song Dynasty? How can I thank the emperor of the Song Dynasty for his kindness?

What kind of benevolence do the officials have now? In addition to starting a war rashly, they just spend money randomly, and there are all kinds of scandals... So many beauties in the palace were not satisfied, and they ran out of the palace to hunt for beauty all day long. If such an emperor is considered "benevolence", what is Emperor Renzong? Why didn't Renzong pay any tribute to the Song Dynasty at that time? There were many barbarians from foreign countries who saw that the Song Dynasty was easy to bully and came to ask for money.

"My husband, can you just be pursuing the name of tribute and doing trade?"

Xue Sichang had figured out a possibility.

"Impossible." Su Che shook his head, "Will Sanfoqi Maritime and Jingdong Maritime and other departments allow such a thing to happen? How much more than 10 million yuan will you have to charge?

Moreover, when have you ever seen a merchant who would trade with us with so much real money?”

"The public statement is reasonable." Xue Sichang thought for a while, "Then what happened to these real money and silver?"

"It must be..." Su Che lowered his voice, "It must be snatched!"

"Give it!" Xue Sichang took a few breaths of cold air and thought to himself: Now the Song Dynasty is so powerful? Can you go out to hunt grass valley to collect New Year's monies?

Actually, this is benevolence! If you give protection fees, the Song Dynasty will not beat you anymore. How kind is it?

"That's... a good thing, right?" Xue Sichang was not a Jinshi, he was a Xun official who was well-off. It's natural to look at the problem. It's better to grab other money than to be robbed by others, right?

Su Che sighed, "It is better to have money than not... But in this way, the ceremony for the coming of all nations will have to be held."

After taking more than 10 million, the missions of the Great Food Kingdom, the Roman Kingdom, the Zhunian Kingdom, and the Baltic Kingdom... are all like this, do you still want to keep a low profile? Yelu Yanxi is not stupid.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Song and Liao will turn against each other! Since Song and Liao will definitely turn against each other, it seems that they don’t need to pay the annual tribute next year.

When today's Chongzheng Palace asked, Zhao Ji presented another memorial to Cai Jing's proposal to stop paying annual monies and be tough on Liao. Moreover, Zhao Ji's tone seemed to agree with Cai Jing's point of view.

"Kang Zong," Su Che paused, "It's too cold today, and I seem to be sick."

I was sick? Xue Sichang was stunned and looked at Su Che again. The old man was energetic! And since he was revenge and became the prime minister again, he seemed to have never been sick... Why did he get sick after blowing the cold wind today?

Then Su Che hunched again and coughed a few more times, "Kang Zong, what state in the south do you think is more suitable for elderly care?"

Su Che is going to invite a county!

Xue Sichang was so stupid that he immediately thought that Su Che was about to retreat.

Today, Zhao Ji presented Cai Jing’s memorial in Chongzheng Hall, and the meaning was very obvious, that was, to let Cai Jing come back.

Cai Jing was a left prime minister, and he was not demoted after being punished. His original official status was still there. Of course, Xuanma was the prime minister when he entered Kaifeng Prefecture. Su Che had been the prime minister for many years, and his son Su Chi was now a Northwest Transporter. With Zhang Yuan's glory, he was also a great contribution. Xuanma was just a matter of time.

In addition, Su Dongpo had been dead for almost three years. The three brothers Su Mai, Su Feng and Su Guo would soon come out to become officials. Among them, Su Mai and Su Feng were both able to meet senior Confucian officials such as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat and the Hanlin Bachelor.

If Su Che is still on the throne of the prime minister, it will be a bit blocking the younger generation's way. If Zhao Ji trusts him, it would be fine, but now Zhao Ji is already hinting that Su Che has given up the wise, and it would be meaningless if Su Che is on the stage again.

Moreover, the current situation is changing so fast that it is so fast that the old minister Su Che is a little confused.

After understanding Su Che's situation, Xue Sichang did not advise him to stay, but instead suggested seriously: "If my husband wants to invite a county, the subordinates suggest that my husband choose one of the three places of Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou."

Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou are both important external ports in the Song Dynasty. Before Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City developed, these three ports were the top three import and export commercial ports. Even now, Quanzhou is still the world's number one port, and its scale of foreign trade is especially above Haizhou and Jiehe.

Now the economic and fiscal focus of the Song Dynasty has shifted to overseas trade. It is a general trend... Whether it is stolen, robbed, or extorted, it must be easy. It comes much faster than collecting land tax and exempting labor, so the fiscal revenue pattern of light land tax and focusing on trade will definitely be established in the future.

Now the Jiehe Maritime Ware and Jingdong Maritime Ware are still far away in Nanyang, all seem to be quite powerful, and they can earn at least 2 million yuan a year. However, the three Maritime Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse Warehouse

Therefore, it is necessary to rectify. If it can be rectified to the same level as Jiehe, Jingdong, and Sanfoqi, the three Maritime Mansions, then the court can directly earn four million yuan from overseas trade in a year.

If the extra income is not spent randomly by Zhao Ji, it would be possible to reduce taxes to many farmers in poor places. If this is true, it would be a bit kind.

"Okay!" Su Che thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will invite Jun Quanzhou!"
Chapter completed!
