Two days later.
The Ding Mansion is still intensively investigating the situation, but unfortunately it has achieved little success.
In a small private courtyard, the housekeeper stood alone in the courtyard. The cold wind made his cheeks hurt, but no matter how cold the wind was, it could not extinguish the anxiety in his heart.
Who is it?
damn it!
The chief steward couldn't help but curse. If he had been more careful in the past, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such a disaster today.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in reality.
No matter how hard it was to swallow, he had to swallow it, and he had to seize the time to investigate the inner rooms of the mansion as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the front yard cleaning class dormitory, Huang Shiqi clearly felt that this winter was getting colder.
The atmosphere in the house is very wrong!
In recent days, the butler has frequently appeared in every corner of the mansion, which was definitely hard to see before.
In addition, someone next to him was taken away for questioning alone. As for the specific conversation, the other party was very secretive.
The big inspection is coming!
Although Huang Shiqi's identity information is very clean, the most fearful thing in everything is to investigate deeply. If the investigation continues.
Sooner or later, he has to be exposed.
He is not afraid of what will happen if he is exposed.
What he was afraid of was to implicate the Prime Minister.
At this time, Huang Shiqi was ready to die. If it really came to the point where nothing could be done, death might be better than living.
If it fell into the hands of the big housekeeper, it would be difficult for him to die.
…

…
Funing Hall.
"Officials, I have something that I need to tell you secretly."
While speaking, Zhang Mao unconsciously glanced at the eunuch Huang Men standing on both sides.
Li Jie nodded slightly, waved his hand gently, and then the small yellow door on the side retreated to the door of the inner hall with a jerky movement.
"Guan family, Liu Demiao is already pregnant."
After saying this, Zhang Mao fell to his knees with a plop.
"I took it upon myself to block this news, please forgive me!"
pregnant?
Hearing the news, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
This is quite different from what is recorded in history books.
However, this is not incomprehensible.
Strictly speaking, the adultery between Ding Qi and Liu Demiao is definitely a scandal. It is extremely rare for it to be recorded in history books.
Even if the editor knew about Liu Demiao's pregnancy, I'm afraid it would not be recorded in the news.
"Who knows about this?"
Although Li Jie himself doesn't care much about this matter, considering his current status, he still has to do some things that should be done.
Of course, he still has his own bottom line.
Liu Demiao's pregnancy was indeed a scandal, but he had no intention of letting Liu Demiao and her son disappear.
No!
The most different sense between people of later generations and people of this era should be their reverence for life.
In this era when life is like nothing, a mere female Taoist priest will die when she dies, even if she is pregnant.
"Back at the official's house, there are seven people with knowledge of the matter, and they are all waiting in Courtyard A5."
When answering, Zhang Maoze was full of anxiety.
The scandal of the royal family is definitely a hot potato.
Especially since this scandal also involves the late emperor.
How will the officials deal with them?
What will be done to him?
Kill and silence?
Looking for a reason to be demoted from Beijing?
Just when Zhang Maoze was thinking wildly, an extremely dull voice penetrated his eardrums.
"In that case, let's stay in Courtyard A-5 for now."
These extremely plain words sounded like sounds of nature to Zhang Maoze's ears.
No silence!
No demotion!
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhang Mao knelt on the ground and shouted uncontrollably.
"Back off."
Liu Demiao's matter is just a small matter. Whether she is pregnant or not has no impact on the overall situation. Compared with this matter, the matter in Yizhou is more important.
Money shortage has existed since the middle of the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the problem of money shortage became more serious.
The formation of the money shortage is not unrelated to the three redundancies, but the fundamental reason is still the shortage of metal currency.
In fact, the mining volume of copper, iron and other metals in the Song Dynasty was not small. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the output was at least more than doubled.
However, such mining volume is far lower than the growth rate of commodity economic development.
According to statistics, from the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty to Yuanfeng (1078-1085), the Song court officially minted at least 150 million copper coins.
And this is only an increase, not including the original currency in circulation, nor does it include iron money.
However, such a large-scale coinage cannot solve the problem of money shortage from the root cause.
What should I do if I don’t have enough metal currency?
Credit currency came into being.
Jiaozi was first born in Yizhou area.
The birth of Jiaozi is inseparable from the clumsy iron money.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sichuan has had the habit of using iron coins, but it is an indisputable fact that iron coins are heavy and heavy.
Therefore, for most of the period, copper coins and iron coins have been mixed in Sichuan.
Until the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty moved a large amount of wealth from the Sichuan area to Kaifeng, and the most important material among them was copper coins.
(ps: Sichuan has suffered relatively low damage, so wealth is relatively concentrated)
Then, the Sichuan region ushered in a money shortage.
During the Kaibao period (around 970), Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to "forbid copper coins from entering Sichuan." This edict aggravated the money shortage.
The value of iron money is low and completely inconsistent with the needs of bulk commodity trade.
Thus, Jiaozi, the pioneer of 'credit currency', was born in Sichuan.
Initially, Jiaozi was issued by sixteen wealthy households. Later, Jiaozi was outplayed by these wealthy households, resulting in numerous lawsuits.
In the last years of Dazhong Xiangfu, the transshipment envoy Xue Tian officially took the distribution rights of Jiaozi into public ownership.
However, at this time, the handover of children was not taken seriously.
Although Jiaozi evolved from Feiqian, there are essential differences between the two.
(Feiqian is similar to a money order. The remitter hands over the cash to a certain institution, and then the payee goes to a certain institution to withdraw the money with the ticket.
Feiqian and Jiaozi are both credit instruments, but the difference between the two is also obvious. Feiqian is almost non-marketable and requires one-to-one deposit and withdrawal.
Jiaozi is circulated and is equivalent to the prototype of banknotes)
Since the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu to the present, Jiao Ziwu's status has always been embarrassing and dispensable.
After all, Jiaozi had created a big hole.
What will be the consequences of the uncontrolled issuance of banknotes?
If you look at the Zimbabwe dollar, you will know that it is nothing more than currency depreciation and government credit bankruptcy.
Regarding this point, Song Ting also had a similar understanding.
Why did Jiaoziwu close down?
What I'm afraid of is excessive and spam hair.
However, the money shortage in Yizhou is an objective reality, so the existence of Jiao Ziwu is also necessary.
When you encounter a problem, take out the task and put it to use.
When the crisis is relieved, the chamber pot of Jiao Ziwu will be taken back.
No, the money shortage in Yizhou has become serious again recently, and then someone suggested reopening Jiaoziwu.
