Chapter 621: That is money

Against the wind and snow, finally entered the palace.
There are snowflakes on the cloak.
Qing Zhu gently patted the snowflakes on Gu Jiu's body, and whispered: "It's so cold, I'm really afraid that Madam Frost will get sick."
Gu Jiu laughed,
It’s not cold when it snows, and it’s only cold when it melts. In recent years, the climate in Gyeonggi has been pretty good. God’s eyes are open, and there has been no catastrophe.

As for places other than Gyeonggi, it has not stopped since the 30th year of Kaiyao.
Either there is a drought here or there is a flood. Either it was an ice disaster or an insect disaster...
Natural and man-made disasters will cause more and more refugees to flood into the capital.
Only in the Gyeonggi area, the weather has been rare in recent years.
Many people say in private that there is dragon spirit in Gyeonggi. The dragon spirit protects this place, so it can keep the weather smooth for nearly ten years.
Gu Jiu didn't know if there was dragon spirit in the capital.
She only knows that the people of Gyeonggi have become rich in the past two years, and the local government is also rich. So the water conservancy facilities were refurbished.
In the event of small-scale droughts and floods, water conservancy facilities can be used in time. Reduce the hazards of natural disasters to a minimum.
Of course, this year the main thing is to watch the sky and eat.
Therefore, the next step is to vigorously develop agriculture.
At the same time, vigorously promote overseas colonization. Strive to one day be able to use overseas food to raise the people of Da Zhou.
The waiter was urging.
Gu Jiu took down the Greatcloak and handed it to Qingzhu, "Waiting in the side hall, don't move rashly."
"The servant girl knows."
Gu Jiu followed the servant into the hall.
Not surprisingly, Shaofu Jialing and Shaofu Tongcheng, both adults were there.
When Emperor Wende saw Gu Jiu, he laughed like seeing the God of Wealth.
He laughed, just like a two-hundred-jin fat man.
"The eldest wife, it's been a few months, is your health well? How is the child?"
"Thank you Father for your concern. The daughter-in-law is in good health and the child is also good."
"Mother and son are healthy, good, good!"
Emperor Wen De hesitated, "When will I bring the child into the palace, let me see."
Gu Jiu said: "When the weather gets warm, my daughter-in-law must take the child into the palace and send her greetings to your majesty."
Emperor Wen De's eyebrows twitched, really ignorant.
Still have to wait for the weather to get warm, doesn't it mean to wait until the beginning of spring next year?
It's still months.
Emperor Wen De said earnestly: "I am old and often feel lonely. The most hopeful thing is that my children and grandchildren gather together."
Shaofu Jialing, Shaofu Tongcheng...
Is it really okay to listen to your Majesty and Madam Zhao talking about family affairs?
What does Emperor Wen De mean by his lonely old voice!
Worry!
Gu Jiu pretended to be stupid, and only said, "During the New Year, my daughter-in-law must bring Brother Yu into the palace." It's such a cold day, don't take Brother Heng out.
Emperor Wen De heart stuffed.
That's all, that's all, he is not as knowledgeable as Gu Jiu.
With a soft cough, I finally mentioned today's topic.
"I asked you to come to tell you something important."
"Daughter-in-law listens to the hadith respectfully."
Gu Jiu's posture is full of respect.
This made Wen Dedi feel better.
He coughed two more times before saying: "Private coinage is rampant. The Shaofu and the Ministry of Households have no good solutions. They can only hope to increase the number of official coins to suppress private coinage. However, imperial brass mining Limited. Private mining is rampant, and a lot of brass flows into private banks. Can you solve this problem?"
Gu Jiu said in his heart, it really was for money.
She deliberated and asked, "I wonder if your Majesty is going to crack down on private coinage or private mining?"
"What is the difference between the two? Could it be that you have a way to strike at both?" Emperor Wen De's eyes lit up, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.
Do not!
That's not starlight!
That is money!
Only yellow, orange and orange coins can make Emperor Wen De's eyes twinkling with stars.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "Daughter-in-law has limited abilities and cannot fight both at the same time. You can only focus on the same thing."
Emperor Wen De hurriedly asked: "If it is focused on cracking down on private coinage, what should I do? If it is focused on cracking down on private mining, what should I do?"
Gu Jiu said: "To combat private coinage, my daughter-in-law and the adults agree to increase the amount of official coinage. As long as a sufficient amount of official coinage flows into the market, crude and indiscriminate coinage coinage will naturally lose the market. ."
Emperor Wende frowned, he always felt that Gu Jiu didn't tell the truth.
She must have a better way, but she refused to say it.
Emperor Wen De's face sank and asked, "Then what can you do to combat private mining?"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "This is simple. The internal servant or Shaofu will come forward to count all the private mines in the world and find out the approximate profit of each private mine. Then they will be issued a mining certificate approved by the court, and Collect a certain amount of silver. Turn illegal private mines into legal private mines and the problem will be solved."
Can this be done?
Gu Jiu continued: "This is like recruiting security and anti-thief. If the anti-thief is recruited, they will become a regular army. Illegal private mines can also be recruited and become legal private mines. As for subsequent operations, the court can be flexible based on specific circumstances. Take measures to respond."
After listening to the command of the young man, he nodded secretly. This method is desirable.
Although private mines are still private mines, one is outside the court, and the other is under the control of the court. The nature is different.
Shaofu Tongcheng: "..." The official is still as quiet as a chicken.
Emperor Wen De frowned and thought, "You said you charge a fee and then issue a mining license to private mines. Can those private mines agree?"
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "Your Majesty, businessmen pay attention to peace and wealth. Who is willing to mine minerals legally. If you are not at ease, your Majesty can arrange several large-scale private mines and take the lead in purchasing mining licenses.
My daughter-in-law thought it should not be too high for the specific amount of money to be charged for this mining license. If the cost of mining license is too high, these private mine owners will take the opportunity to raise the price of copper and iron ore, and increase the burden on the court. "
Shaofu Jialing hurriedly asked, "What if someone refuses to spend money to obtain a mining license?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "This matter is simpler. It takes one year to register private mines all over the world and apply for mining licenses. After one year, all private mines without a mining license are illegal.
Since it is illegal, it is only natural for the court to seize him. Of course, the local government cannot come forward to seal up private mines. Since this matter was presided over by the Shaofu and the inmates, it is better to let the Shaofu Prisoners and the Department of Sentences be responsible for sealing up illegal private mines. "
Chang En was overjoyed and excited.
Madam Zhao is a good person!
Gu Jiu's move is tantamount to giving the housekeeper the right to supervise and money.
He wrote down such a great favor.
If there is a chance in the future, one or two will be returned.
Shao Fu Jialing nodded secretly.
One year is the solution.
Emperor Wende walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. "To turn illegal private mines into legal private mines, what are the benefits besides collecting a mining license fee?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes secretly, and then bowed and said, "My daughter-in-law thinks that the biggest advantage is that the court can accurately grasp the scale of private mines in the world and know the annual mineral output. When making accounts at the end of each year, you don’t need to estimate or estimate. As the lord of the world, your Majesty, don't you want to know how many mineral resources are there in Da Zhou?"
Emperor Wen De nodded repeatedly, "You are right. What else?"
Gu Jiu said: "The amount of official copper coins is scarce because the imperial court has too little brass. When the illegal private mines change and become legal private mines, Shaofu Tongcheng can spend money to buy brass from legal private mines. , The problem of insufficient brass was solved."
Shaofu Jialing quickly said: "Private banks offer higher prices. Those private mine owners may not be willing to sell brass to the court."
Gu Jiu was shocked when he heard this. Surprised by a group of idiots in Shaofu, such a simple problem could not be solved.
She bluntly said: "If you can't fight the price, let's fight the quantity. The private bank buys one hundred thousand catties of brass, and the young man buys one million catties of brass.
I think no one can fight for more than Shaofu. I don't believe that those private mine owners just watched the order of millions of catties of brass not be moved. Since the heart is moving, the price is naturally easy to negotiate. "
"Hahaha..."
Emperor Wen De laughed loudly, "The eldest wife is right. The imperial court may lose a little bit in the price, but the imperial court will never lose in the amount. I don't believe that there is any private bank that requires more than Shaofu. It’s bigger than the imperial court. There really is such a bank, so you have to look it up carefully and find out."
Xiaofu Jialing nodded again and again, "Madam Zhao's method not only solves the problem of the proliferation of private mining, but also solves the problem of insufficient official coins. It really kills two birds with one stone."
Snapped!
Emperor Wen De patted the table with a look of excitement, "The Shaofu must carefully consider the details and implement this method after a year. From now on, all private mines without mining licenses will be sealed up. Shaofu Tongcheng will also Hurry up and mint as many coins as possible. We must maintain quality and quantity to ensure that official minted coins are the best coins on the market and cannot be replaced."
Shaofu Jialing and Shaofu Tongcheng led the orders in unison.
Chang En is a little anxious, why there is no such thing as the inmate.
However, it is inconvenient to speak because of identity.
