Shen Gai really didn't like this guy who spoke so clearly and felt weird.
But I have to admit that Jiang Chengyue looks like he is thirty years old at most, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he feels extremely difficult to deal with. He feels that at least they are similar in rank.
Are all the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty so shrewd and powerful that they are the best among others?
No wonder Su Yonglin was able to overthrow the Jin Kingdom in three years.
But Su Yonglin's team started from a humble beginning. How could there be so many smart and capable officials around him?
Could it be that they were all born with mud legs and then trained by themselves?
Shen should calm down and put on a smile.
"Jiang Zhengqing is really fast-talking. Now that... we have talked about it here, I will not go around in circles. Jiang Zhengqing should know some of the sayings in and around Lin'an these days, right? After all, this is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he said that he should take it away Just take it away, isn’t it a bit..."
Zhang Piao didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Chengyue.
Jiang Chengyue smiled after listening to Shen Gai's words.
"Does Mr. Shen know that I once participated in the trial of the Jin Dynasty emperor and the royal family in Zhongdu? Later, I personally took away three minister-level officials and sentenced six minister-level officials to death. In addition, the war criminals Zhao Gou and I also participated in the trial of Zhao Yu’s case, and I presided over the trial of more than 20 members of the royal family.”
Shen Gai's expression froze.
Good guy, with this resume, I’m afraid not many people would have it in five thousand years.
"Zhao Gou and Zhao Min are like this. They are just ministers of the Ministry of Industry. I really don't think they are very important."
Jiang Chengyue stood up like a guest and poured a glass of wine for Shen Gai, and said with a smile: "Xiangong Shen should know that the Chengdu Puppet Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Lin'an court are all mortal enemies. They are the kind of mortal enemies that are completely opposite. If they are not completely eliminated, Eliminate and eradicate, but who knows whether it is Mr. Shen who calls the shots in Jiangnan, or he, Zhao Buxi?"
Shen Gai's eyes twitched and he laughed.
"What Jiang Zhengqing said is indeed... indeed shocking..."
"What I said, Xianggong Shen naturally has a judgment in his heart, but what I want to tell Xianggong Shen is that Xianggong Shen is Xianggong, and how much role the Ming Dynasty office in the city and the Ming garrison outside the city play, Xianggong Shen should be clear about it. Chu."
Of course Shen Gai knew exactly what Zhang Shi had said to him.
It's just that he is not willing to accept this fact from the bottom of his heart, and always feels that he can still rise up.
Now that Jiang Chengyue talked about this matter in front of him, he felt a little angry and unhappy.
"In the case of war criminals, I have no merit but hard work. Why did Jiang Zhengqing get to this point? I still have to work hard to support the situation in Jiangnan. Doesn't Ming Dynasty understand?"
Jiang Chengyue heard the dissatisfaction in Shen Gai's words, so he decided to completely crush Shen Gai's little will to resist.
"Mr. Shen, before I set off, His Majesty took my hand and told me that Jiangnan is a stable and peaceful land of plenty. Anyone who comes to Jiangnan will feel very comfortable. As the saying goes, the sunrise and the rivers are red and the flowers are red, and the spring is green and the rivers are green. Rulan...how can such a geomantic treasure land come to be called [Lin'an]?"
Don't you like to play in twists and turns?
Then I will play with you to the end.
Are you happy?
Do you understand what I'm going to say?
Zhang Piao understood Jiang Chengyue's words. After a moment of surprise, he looked directly at Shen Gai and saw Shen Gai staring at Jiang Chengyue with a look of disbelief on his face.
"this……"
"Jiangnan Kingdom Jiangnan Kingdom, since it is already a country in Jiangnan, leaving [Lin'an] as the capital does not sound right. I feel that this Jiangnan Kingdom is still restless. I don't want to just be Jiangnan Kingdom... I also want to do it. Where is Jiangbei Kingdom?"
Jiang Chengyue picked up a very elastic fish ball and put it into his mouth, chewing it beautifully, then looked at Shen Gai while chewing.
Shen Gai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not say anything. After another while, he seemed to finally realize something.
"Jiang Zhengqing, Jiangnan Kingdom is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never have second thoughts!"
"Really? Then why do you want to temporarily settle in Hangzhou?"
Jiang Chengyue put down her chopsticks and sneered: "Your Majesty is very concerned about this, but you can't wait for your husband's explanation."
It wasn't a hot day, but Shen Gai felt that his entire back was soaked with sweat.
He suddenly became a little confused as to what Jiang Chengyue's purpose was in going south.
It was obviously Jiang Chengyue who invited him on his own initiative, so why did it feel like the initiative was suddenly transferred to Jiang Chengyue's hands?
Shen Gai was sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and his mood was quite unstable.
He suddenly felt that this banquet originally initiated by him suddenly had a sense of déjà vu like the Hongmen Banquet.
While Shen Gai was sweating profusely and jumping faster, Su Yonglin also had a new focus in Zhongdu.
currency.
The cause of the incident was that Su Yonglin discovered a large amount of Sichuan and Sichuan iron money and Jiaozi used to exchange the iron money from the proceeds from the Guanzhong smuggling case.
The situation of coin casting and circulation in the Song Dynasty was very chaotic. Different currencies were used in different regions in different periods.
To put it simply, at that time, most areas in the Central Plains, South China, and North China used copper coins, Sichuan used iron coins, Shanxi and Shaanxi used both copper and iron coins, and Lingnan used both gold and silver.
In addition, banknotes are in circulation all over the country, either limited to a certain area or available throughout the country. The difference is that Jiaozi exchanges iron coins, while Huizi exchanges copper coins.
As early as the early Northern Song Dynasty, Sichuan began to circulate iron coins due to economic plunder and lack of copper. Later, Zhao Kuangyin ordered that Sichuan not be allowed to mint copper coins, so Sichuan has a tradition of using iron coins.
However, because iron money has a low face value and heavy weight, one hundred and twenty kilograms of iron money is needed to buy a piece of cloth. Commercial circulation is too cumbersome, so Jiaozi came into being. Jiaozi first appeared in Sichuan to benchmark iron money. , making commercial trade within Sichuan easier.
During the entire Northern Song Dynasty, only Sichuan and Sichuan were areas dedicated to iron money. In the Southern Song Dynasty, more areas dedicated to iron money appeared.
The main reason was to prevent copper coins from flowing northward and damaging the economy of the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty government designated the land of Huainan, the land of Jinghu and the land of Sichuan and Sichuan as one area to be exclusively used for iron money, in an attempt to use economic isolation zones. Organize the flow of copper coins to the north.
This measure has a certain effect, but the effect is not great.
After the fall of the Jin Kingdom and the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, Su Yonglin did not find it difficult to face this artificial iron coin isolation zone. He simply used the private salt sales strategy to break it open.
The cheap Mingguo salt does not require iron money, but only copper coins. It doesn’t even cost money. It only requires real copper coins. You can buy cheap and high-quality salt with copper coins.
As a result, the unstoppable large-scale flow of copper coins northward in the Southern Song Dynasty made the deflation phenomenon in the Southern Song Dynasty more and more serious, and the cost of minting money increased repeatedly. It often happened that minting money cost more than the money itself.
The economy of the Ming Dynasty was eased due to the large amount of copper coins flowing northward, and it began to enter a period of rapid development. Then it used more salt to hit the Southern Song Dynasty salt market and further obtained a large amount of copper coins.
The Southern Song Dynasty also had a headache because of this economic offensive, but they did not dare to blatantly offend the Ming Dynasty. They repeatedly used unscrupulous means to crack down on illegal salt, and used their own people to try to stabilize the iron money isolation zone.
But after all, they could not withstand the strength of the Ming army and the cheating of their own salt affairs, and the iron money isolation belt soon collapsed.
But this method is not very easy to use in Sichuan and Sichuan.
Because the history of using iron money in Sichuan and Sichuan is too long, it is different from the areas where iron money has just been established in the past ten years.
