Section 813 The Significance of Chang'an City
Qian Haoheng thought it very clearly.
When you are in chaos in Xixia, the silver coupons I issued will become hard currency in Xixia. The nobles of Xixia are afraid that their property will be damaged due to civil strife, so they will definitely find ways to avoid their property.
Then, silver vouchers are a very good choice.
At this time, the number of super-issued numbers is not a problem. The real money and silver deposited by the Western Xia nobles will fill all this.
Silver vouchers need to be printed, and printing silver vouchers also takes time.
When the silver voucher was almost printed a few days later, Qian Haoheng took the new budget to find Han Jiang the night before the morning meeting tomorrow.
"Father-in-law." Han Jiang invited Qian Haoheng into the study.
Qian Haoheng sat down: "Tell me something, I arranged for it. On the border between us and Xixia, we secretly issued silver coupons worth 2.3 billion yuan. Originally, I thought that I would only issue 800 guan, but after thinking about it carefully, I still increased it, changing 8 million guan to 8 million guan."
This is not a small number.
Han Jiang calculated in his heart that this was at least one-tenth of the annual tax revenue of all his territory. Plus all his workshops and other maritime trade income, not counting the part of the ocean going out this time, it was one-twentieth.
The number is large, but it is not particularly large.
But in this era, especially when the Song Dynasty banknotes such as Jiaozi and Huizi were completely distrustful, the number of additional silver vouchers was issued, and once there was a problem, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qian Haoheng was actually worried, so he came to Han Jiang to discuss this matter.
Qian Haoheng said, "Brother Jiang, I think so. Once there is civil strife in Xixia, the money of the Xixia nobles flows into our money house. If there is a lot of real money and silver, these will not be considered excessive additional issuance."
Han Jiang did not rush to speak, and first went to the desk to calculate the impact of the eight million taels on the Xixia border city.
If it were included in the entire Song Dynasty, this number would be easy to say.
It is only placed in Xixia border city, so this matter really needs to be calculated.
Qian Haoheng stood by the desk and watched. He could understand what Han Jiang calculated, but he calculated definitely not as good as Han Jiang. Han Jiang calculated the output value of the northwest prefectures, then the annual trade volume of border cities, plus the annual tax value of Xixia, etc.
Without waiting for Han Jiang to finish the calculation, Qian Haoheng said, "It seems that he has sent too much."
"Yeah." Han Jiang nodded.
Don’t be afraid of printing too much, just publish it less, now you can count a reasonable number.
Qian Haoheng stopped Han Jiang from continuing to calculate: "Brother Jiang, I'll do it again."
"My father-in-law has something to say."
"Something, let's talk first."
"Father-in-law, please." Han Jiang gave Qian Haoheng to the tea table.
Qian Haoheng did not mention the matter of Xixia first. He asked Han Jiang: "When you have lived in Chang'an for a long time, maybe this place will become a new capital in the future. It is not as good as that of the past. If you want to restore the prosperous times of the Han and Tang dynasties, it will cost more than just a little money, it is very difficult here."
Han Jiang sat down and boiled water and said, "Father-in-law, I never thought of using Chang'an to become the capital in the end."
"Then what?"
"At present, Chang'an is in chaos. I will revive Chang'an in Chang'an. For the sake of stability in the northwest, Chang'an must be restored, which also gives the people of the world a confidence."
This is reasonable, Qian Haoheng agrees.
Qian Haoheng asked: "So, where will the final capital be placed in the future?"
Han Jiang shook his head: "I didn't think about it, but it's definitely not Bianliang, nor Luoyang. It may be Jiankang Prefecture. Then Chang'an can be changed to Xidu, and the Jin Kingdom will definitely be destroyed. Then there must be a guarding place in the north, and at least two are needed to go south."
Qian Haoheng understood this meaning.
I didn’t ask questions about Xindu and returned to Chang'an.
Qian Haoheng asked: "So, what should Chang'an in the future?"
Han Jiang took a piece of paper and drew a sketch with a pencil: "Father-in-law, let alone how big the Western Regions are. First of all, the place for the Western Liao War Report should be ours. If the Mongolian tribe had not been for our rise, they would have destroyed all the countries in the world in the future, and then continued to fight the west, and then destroyed countless countries."
Qian Haoheng nodded: "Since they like the Western Expedition so much, this matter must continue. For the sake of Chang'an in the Western Regions, it is necessary to rise again. What I want to say is that it is beneficial to us to provoke civil strife in the Western Xia."
Han Jiang knew about this plan a long time ago.
"Father-in-law, please speak."
Qian Haoheng said: "We don't care what Qiu Jun wants to do. We just need to do one thing. Let's meet Li An. "
"Father-in-law, what's the point?"
Qian Haoheng got up and closed the door, and then came back and said, "Li An is ambitious, but his power is not enough to seek power and get to power. Let's put it this way, he is still far from it. This person has no talent. Because of this, he is ambitious at the moment and may launch some things that he cannot control in advance."
"reasonable."
Li Ann in history was not a truly wise person.
Qian Haoheng continued: "Then, if he makes any moves now, he may be calmed down overnight. Xixia will be in chaos, but it will be fine if it is in chaos for a few days. The head of the mess will fall all over the ground, which will not be beneficial to us."
"I understand." Han Jiang understood Qian Haoheng's meaning: "My father-in-law means to let me support him, and at the same time let him understand that he is not enough to usurp the throne now."
"Yes, at the same time, make a promise, and then use him to make Xixia seem calm, but it is a messy person who is panicked."
"So, how do you do it?" Han Jiang didn't quite understand the changes in this plan.
Qian Haoheng said, "You should come down first and agree to meet Li An. I will arrange for someone to throw the silver coupon worth 100 million to the border market in Xixia first. Then I wrote a letter to ask Liu Gaizhi to come and design the matter again. This letter always takes some time on the road."
"Yeah, yeah." Han Jiang nodded repeatedly.
No problem agreeing to see you.
There is another layer of trouble in it.
Qian Haoheng didn't mention it, and Han Jiang didn't ask either.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this was Sangkun.
The relationship between the Xixia and the Kelie tribe is excellent, which naturally refers to the long-term cooperation between the Xixia royal court and the Knight tent of the Kelie tribe.
If Han Jiang supports Li An, he will most likely lose Sang Kun as his friend.
A few days later.
Qingyang Prefecture.
Li An was still very cautious when he was far away from his Western Xia territory. He first went to the border tent in the north of Guyuan City to inspect the border city, and then quietly entered Guyuan City with makeup, and then came to Qingyang Prefecture to meet Han Jiang.
