    With Cai Jing's fierce power, and he couldn't even get the reward money.  There are people who oppose the issuance of new money.  There is really no way around this, and it affects the pockets of most officials.  It can be said that Cai Jing will be included in the biography of a traitor in the future, which is one of the biggest failures.  In fact, the ten coins only weighed three coins, that is, the value of the copper used to cast the ten coins was less than the currency value. Therefore, the people melted down the small coins and minted large coins privately.  Zhao Ji increased the issuance of "Jiaozi" banknotes in Sichuan, printing an additional 24.3 million Jiaozi, equivalent to 20 times the issuance quota stipulated by Renzong.  This is similar to the excessive printing of money in later generations.  Many government agencies are located in green areas.  When I walked in and took a look, the back of the corner house and the steps beside the door were all green.  At first glance, it seems that the officials of the Song Dynasty were really advanced in their awareness, and the greening was impressive, but this was not the case.  As long as you look closely, you will find that the green space inside and outside the yamen is not turf, but rows and rows of vegetables. Even the officials¡¯ yamen have planted vegetables in order to alleviate the pressure caused by inflation. You can imagine this.  How serious the situation is.  So it¡¯s about your own pocket. Even at this moment, the entire Daqing Hall was buzzing with discussions and voices of opposition.  Cai Jing had long expected this situation and said calmly: "If you don't issue new money, how will you have money to reward the Imperial Army? What if the Imperial Army is upset and makes trouble, should you go and quell the chaos? Hmm  ¡­¡± When it came to those who stood up to oppose him, he retreated with a pale face.  Just kidding, that's when it really comes.  He would surely be torn to pieces by the angry soldiers.  In the Northern Song Dynasty, the reason why warriors were extremely wary of the army was their extreme fear of the army.  So I tried my best to suppress it.  While comforting them with the best treatment.  As a result, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops raised were all veteran soldiers with no ability and extremely bad temper.  Not to mention this official, not even the emperor dared to provoke him Wen Fei's heart moved, thinking that the Forbidden Army had made such a big mess this time.  Cleaning is definitely inevitable, so take this opportunity to make a fresh start.  Strengthen training.  to cope with the upcoming events.  From Wen Fei's point of view, the prince's rebellion this time is not even a small episode.  Jurchens.  He is his real opponent.  "What's more, the issuance of new money this time is different from the past!" Cai Jing slowed down his tone and said in a deep voice: "You must be aware of the immortal money flowing out of the Imperial Prefecture, right?" That's what he said.  Many people come back to their senses.  these courtiers.  They were all the most powerful people in the Song Dynasty, so it was impossible to say that they had never even seen Immortal Money.  Many people even hoard a portion of fairy money in their homes, just like gold.  "My husband is saying that the imperial court issues immortal money?" the minister who just spoke said hesitantly.  Wen Fei finally saw this time that this guy was not the bold and fearless person who dared to openly refute Cai Jing as Wen Fei thought at the beginning. He was clearly a shill.  Cai Jing found the shill by himself.  Wen Fei looked at it for a long time, but didn't recognize this guy's name.  He didn't acknowledge them too much and watched the two of them perform with cold eyes.  "Of course not. The face value of immortal money is too high, and it is inconvenient to use it." Cai Jing smiled and said, "What do you think of this money?" He took out a handful of coins from his arms.  Needless to say, these coins are naturally stainless steel coins that Wen Fei got from modern time and space.  The game coins of later generations are almost the same, but in the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty, they were already considered exquisite.  Originally, the money only had Zhao Ji¡¯s profile picture on it, so Cai Jing reminded Wen Fei to add his own profile picture in order to flatter him.  Therefore, the two sides of the money have Zhao Ji's profile on one side and Wen Fei's profile on the other.  Just printing such a clear portrait on coins is definitely not a technology that people dreamed of at this time "As soon as such money is distributed, it will be transferred into the hands of those courtiers, who are all cunning and cunning people."  Seeing this situation, what else don¡¯t you understand?  Especially since even Wen Fei and Zhao Ji's portrait is printed on it, who would be ignorant and object to it?  And when you look at this money, you can tell that it was not made by the Song Dynasty. Maybe Shang's father got it from the sky. In this case, no one will object.  At this time, even the ministers who governed the country did not have a clear understanding of financial currency.  Just know the value of the coin, even if it contains copper content.  "Things are rare and valuable. Since the Song Dynasty could not produce these coins, they could only come from the sky."  Then this coin should be simply extremely high.  "I wonder how much money Father Shang thinks this new money is worth?" someone asked.  This is indeed true, everyone was stumped for a while.  This new money is obviously not as beautifully made as the Immortal Money, but it has not only Zhao Ji but also Wen Fei on it.? Avatar.  If this was done cheaply, the charge of disrespect might be suppressed.  Wen Fei had discussed this matter with Cai Jing a long time ago and said without hesitation: "This money is worth a hundred copper coins, which is one foot of Mo!" After hearing Wen Fei's words, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.  I'm afraid it was Wen Feishi who opened his mouth and regarded this coin as consistent.  If it's only worth one visit, it's definitely worth it.  Many courtiers had second thoughts. After all, copper coins were too heavy and not useful at all.  A piece of money weighs four or five kilograms. If it weighs several thousand pieces, it will take several carts to haul it away It's very inconvenient.  With this coin, even if it is a thousand coins, it is only ten thousand coins.  At most, it can fit in one bag, which is very convenient Seeing that no one objected, Cai Jing was overjoyed, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.  It seems that this currency reform is only half the success.  The remaining one is to see the reaction of the people after it is actually released!  After the meeting was over, Wen Fei hurriedly left the palace, although he saved Zhao Ji.  But Wang Zaixi and Zhang Huaisu haven't been caught yet, and Qingqing hasn't been rescued yet.  I don¡¯t know where these two guys are hiding.  But a eunuch named Li Yan came over and said flatteringly: "Shangfu is so kind, and the official family is a little frightened. I am afraid that there are still Xiaoxiao in the palace, so please ask Shangfu to sit in the palace, otherwise the official family will not be able to sleep well!"  Wen Fei had no choice but to stay in the palace.  Cai Jing came over again and said in a low voice: "Father Shang, the vegetable-eating demon cult was involved in the prince's rebellion this time. I don't know how Father Shang is going to deal with these cults!" Wen Fei was shocked.  Needless to say, the Food-eating Demonic Cult is also the Ming Cult and Manichaeism.  It doesn't matter what it's called. The most important thing is that Mingjiao intervened in this matter and showed its disloyal intentions.  And their leader is none other than Fang La.  Even Song Jiang has come out, so is it still far from Fang La¡¯s rebellion?  Seeing that Wen Fei realized the seriousness of the problem, a ruthless look flashed in Cai Jing's eyes: "Let the local government ban the Ming Cult, seal off the Ming Cult temples, and arrest its leaders" Upon hearing this, Wen Fei was immediately shocked.  Shake his head.  There is a saucy idea in this town. The Mingjiao was going to rebel in the first place. If they do this in a big way, they are clearly forcing the Mingjiao to rebel.  But the imperial court wants money but has no money, and wants people but no one. If it turns out to be like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, it will be miserable.  In the original history, Fang La rebelled, and the Western Army had already destroyed Tubo.  Xixia has already sued for peace, so that the Western troops can be mobilized as quickly as possible to quell the chaos.  And now, because of Wen Fei's relationship, the Western Army seems to have been given a shot of chicken blood, and is bent on carrying out a war to destroy the country.  They had to destroy Xixia before they gave up.  In this way, if Fang La rebels at this time, he will not even be able to send out the troops to quell the rebellion.  Is it because of these cowardly Tokyo Forbidden Army?  Or rely on those more useless local troops?  Although the combat effectiveness of the Tokyo Forbidden Army is a bit poor, it is at least well-equipped.  The local Xiang army was originally a garrison with poor equipment, and it had not fought in a war for hundreds of years.  It's better to rely on them to suppress rebellion than to rely on meat buns to beat dogs!  When Wen Fei told this story, Cai Jing didn't believe it and said: "These vegetable eaters belong to the devil's religion, and they are just using magic tricks to lure ignorant people. How do you know how to rebel and fight? Is Shang's father overthinking?" Wen Fei smiled bitterly.  : "If it was just eating food that caused the demon sect to rebel, it wouldn't be a big deal. The problem is that Zhu Chong and his son gathered too much. They made all kinds of Huashi Gang, destroying families everywhere. Now the public opinion in Jiangnan has been boiling. Food.  Even if the Caishi Demon Cult starts an incident, it is just a trigger!" Upon hearing Wen Fei's words, Cai Jing's expression changed a few times.  The Zhu family father and son were also Cai Jing's accomplices at first, and they collected all kinds of rare treasures from the south of the Yangtze River for Cai Jing to please Zhao Ji.  As time went on, the Zhu family and his son directly took Zhao Ji's lead and threw him, Mr. Cai, aside.  To be honest, although Cai Jing was a famous traitor in later generations.  Together with Qin Hui, he has become a representative figure among traitorous officials.  But a person like Cai Jing has been in the ups and downs of officialdom for decades and has extremely rich political experience.  Although it is too selfish.  But there is still a minimum bottom line, and this bottom line is not about morality.  But it is wisdom. If there is no skin left, the hair will be attached. There is still some truth in this.  When sailing on the sea, you will never dig out ship planks But the Zhu family and his son definitely have no such bottom line.  On the boundless sea, for the sake of their own wealth, they even dig out the planks of the boat to warm their own fire Although Wen Fei and the Zhu family are not very familiar with each other, in fact, the Zhu family and his son have always been very fond of Wen Fei.  He even gave Wen Fei gifts over and over again.The accumulation is also in the millions.  At that time, as long as there was a piece of wood or a stone in the common people's homes in Suzhou that could be admired, Zhu Meng led his soldiers to go straight to their homes and affixed a yellow seal to the flower stone in the garden as a sign, which was like collecting another imperial tribute.  (To be continued)
