Chapter 420: Debunking the Jin Kingdom’s Conspiracy
"Hahaha……"
"This is just the watermark technique in the heavenly book I passed down. Dear friends, there is no need to panic!"
The Dog Emperor laughed heartily and looked proud.
He believed that with the introduction of this kind of paper currency throughout the world, the world's respect for him would surely reach a new high.
Through the implementation of the pilot program of the Confucian sect, the unspoken rule of the Confucian sect that the imperial power does not go to the countryside will eventually be broken, and the Confucian sect's binding force on him will become smaller and smaller.
"The knowledge taught by officials is truly amazing. With such magical banknotes, the court no longer has to worry about insufficient currency or counterfeiting!"
The civil and military officials first approved of the banknotes, and then began to flatter Song Huizong one after another.
"How prosperous it is for ministers to be able to serve the emperor's reincarnated official family!"
"Yes, the Song Dynasty will be rejuvenated by having this holy king! It is truly a blessing for the world!"
"Haha, my dear friends, you are overly complimentary!"
Song Huizong was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, the magic of this banknote is far more than that! In addition to preventing forgery, it also has many functions such as being waterproof!"
After Song Huizong finished speaking, he ordered Wang Li to put the banknotes into a glass cup and soak them for a moment in front of everyone. Then he took them out and showed them. Not only was the handwriting not blurry at all, but the banknotes were also as strong as ever. After drying them with a hand stove, they were directly
Like new.
"hiss--"
"What on earth is this paper made of? Can it avoid water?"
"Isn't this amazing?"
Everyone was completely stunned!
Looking at the wooden box full of banknotes in his hand, excitement and joy instantly appeared in his eyes.
Kong Duanyou was also dumbfounded and said angrily: "It's just a miraculous skill of a humble craftsman. No matter how exquisite and magical it is, it's just a piece of paper. How can it replace real money?
If it is distributed all over the world, the disaster of Jiaozi will inevitably happen again, causing prices to skyrocket and endangering the world!"
"Master Kong is worrying too much!"
Cai Jing gave him a funny look and explained: "This banknote has been officially named Song Coin! Song Coin is issued by the Royal Chamber of Commerce based on the same amount of stored silver. After issuance, it is handed over to the Privy Council for distribution to various yamen, and then circulates throughout the world.
Under the premise that it cannot be imitated, there will definitely be no harm to Jiaozi.
In addition, if Song coins are damaged or torn, you can go to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to exchange them for new ones at any time without any charge..."
"Okay! This is a very good idea!"
"In this way, everyone in the world can use it with peace of mind!"
"It is much more convenient to carry such exquisite banknotes than carrying piles of copper coins!"
"Yes, yes, this is really a move that benefits the country and the people!"
Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others praised loudly.
Jiang Chen also smiled and said: "For the sake of convenience, from now on, the Royal Chamber of Commerce and its members will only charge song coins for goods transactions, and will no longer charge copper and silver! Then it will be widely advertised in the Jimin Daily!
If you need it, just go to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to exchange it!"
kindness?
Is this going to completely replace copper coins with Song coins?
Everyone instantly understood Jiang Chen's intention.
However, this move was beneficial to both them and the court, and they had no reason to object, so they all agreed with a smile.
Kong Duanyou was so unwilling that he couldn't help but wink at Deng Xunwu.
Deng Xunwu and Deng Xunren were brothers. Deng Xunren went to Cai Jing, and he went to the Kong family, betting on both ends.
Seeing Kong Duanyou's eyes, he immediately understood and said: "Guan family, the emergence of Song coins will definitely make our Song Dynasty prosperous with goods flowing all over the world. I am here to congratulate Guan family!
However, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are still in dire straits. After losing many troops and generals, Liu Yanqing and Xin Xingzhong huddled in the city of Hangzhou to save their lives, while repeatedly killing good people and taking credit for the victory and lying about the results of the war. They are really the traitors of the country!
I sincerely request the officials to investigate closely and send more capable personnel to Jiangnan to put down the rebellion as soon as possible!"
"I agree!
Now is the New Year, but not a grain of autumn grain from the south of the Yangtze River has entered the capital. It can be seen that the previous memorials by Zhu Meng and others to defeat Fang La were purely deceiving the emperor. If such evil thieves cannot be brought to justice, how can the monarch's power exist? Where can the court's face remain?
?”
"I sincerely request the officials to investigate Zhu Meng strictly and eliminate thieves for the country!"
Deng Xunwu's words directly ignited the anger of the courtiers, and they all denounced Zhu Meng.
Cai Jing knew that the Jiangnan incident could no longer be covered up, and he had reached a tacit agreement with Song Huizong to put all the blame on Wang Zhongke, so he simply remained silent.
When He Zhizhong and Zheng Juzhong saw that Cai Jing was silent, they knew that Zhu Meng's death had come!
So he went out and said: "Guan family, since you have made a promise to Jiang Chen, why not send him to quell the chaos?
Jiang Chen's achievements in quelling the banditry in Haizhou and Chuzhou are obvious to everyone in the world, and quelling Fang La is certainly not a problem!"
Song Huizong nodded and was about to say yes when Tong Guan suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "In the official family, I didn't know who the servants were before, and the recommendations were not inspected, which led to today's defeat.
I sincerely ask the officials to give me a chance to atone for my sins. As long as I am willing to give you a hundred thousand troops, I will protect you for three months and we will destroy Fang La before the spring plowing!"
this?
Song Huizong looked at Jiang Chen with a troubled expression.
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "The officials and disciples originally had no intention of competing with Master Tong! But compared to pacifying Fangla, Master Tong has more important things to do. I'm afraid he won't be able to go to Jiangnan!"
"Well? Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
Tong Guan frowned and looked at Jiang Chen, full of surprise and suspicion.
Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Master Tong and Zhao Liangsi have signed the final agreement of the Maritime Alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. After the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, all the lands of Yan will be returned to the Song Dynasty. Isn't this true?"
"good!"
Tong Guan nodded proudly and asked funnyly: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"It's not wrong, it's not good! It's very bad!"
While Jiang Chen was speaking, he suddenly raised his voice and asked: "I dare to ask Master Tong, do you know that the map of Yan in the Jin Kingdom is different from the old map of Yan in the Song Dynasty?
Do you know that the so-called Yan land of the Jin Kingdom today is the Yan land that cut off Pingzhou (Lulong, Hebei Province), Yingzhou (Changli, Hebei Province) and Luanzhou (Luanxian County, Hebei Province)?"
"What? You, what are you talking about?"
Tong Guan thought of the Jin people's vague words during the negotiations, and his face turned pale in shock.
However, Kong Duanyou laughed at Jiang Chen with a proud look on his face and said: "Yanyun has sixteen states in total. Even if they are divided into three parts of the Jin Kingdom, it is just a matter of courtesy. It is just the style of a great country. Why do you need to be so fussy about it?"
"Master Kong, what you said is wrong!"
Gao Qiu, Li Gang, Mei Zhili and other generals all marched out in anger.
Damn it!
You guys scared me to death!
Kong Duanyou's eyelids jumped in shock, he staggered back, and said angrily: "You, what are you going to do?"
Gao Qiu glared at Kong Duanyou with disdain, turned to Song Huizong and said: "Guanjia, Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Luanzhou are the important gateways to Yan. If these three places are left in the hands of the Jin people, the entire Yan
The earth is a piece of meat in the mouth of the golden man, and it can be hidden in the hand again in a short time. We have to be on guard!"
