Chapter 1,722 Wen Yanbo Plays with the Political Hall

Too much money?

Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment.

Han Jiang continued: "Ten million dollars is enough. Besides, the money can only be placed in the bank. However, the interest of the bank is one cent. You will have to pay back two cents when the time comes. Your Majesty..."

Everyone was stunned.

Han Qi murmured: "Do we still have to stop him?"

Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, we must stop it, otherwise we will still have 20 million yuan at least. At this rate... we will end up with an extra 2 million yuan in interest."

Two million is not a small amount. Song Dynasty's current annual balance is this amount.

"Give!"

Zhao Shu's answer exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Just collect it, but..." Since Zhao Shu wants to use this loan as dividends and rally people to support the New Deal, he will naturally not stop borrowing, but the people can, forget about those who spend thousands of dollars at every turn.

"Let Shen An warn those wealthy businessmen in private..."

Han Jiang said with understanding: "I will go later."

When Shen An takes action, those wealthy businessmen will naturally cease their activities, so that the government can pay less interest.

After a while, the discussion was over and everyone dispersed.

After leaving the main hall, Han Qi said: "The officials want to gather people's hearts, but the price is not small, two million dollars!"

"In the past hundred years of the Song Dynasty, the people's morale has been raised, but in the end the people are not united. This move by the officials is of great benefit. Two million yuan, I think it is worth it!" Bao Zheng often chatted with Shen An, and the topic was random. If not, I naturally agree with this move.

"Cut off the loan from the wealthy merchant and it will be easy." Han Jiang was full of confidence, feeling that the Third Division would definitely be able to make a good turnaround this time.

"A lot of money!" Before leaving the imperial city, I saw several petty officials talking and looking excited.

"What money?" The prime ministers and ministers were all curious,

The clerks saluted, and one of them said: "My lords, just now Shen Longtu took dozens of wealthy businessmen to the bank and brought countless copper coins and banknotes. It was said that there were millions of them!"

Han Jiang's face turned pale, "Millions of strings?"

An extra cent is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Shen An, you lack great virtue!

The prime ministers and ministers had a headache. Han Qi said: "Only the officials will speak out about this matter. Shen An is suspected of deceiving the emperor..."

Bao Zheng immediately argued: "The official decision has not yet come out of the palace! What does it have to do with Shen An?"

"Let him stop it!" Zeng Gongliang said: "Even if the money goes into the bank, you can pay it back to them with banknotes, so quietly, no one will know."

Han Qi felt that Lao Zeng was a bit shady.

But it's a good idea.

So someone went to Yulin Lane and came back later and said, "Shen An said this would be of great benefit."

"He won't?" Han Qi was also annoyed, "Report it to the officials and let them take care of him."

Bao Zheng didn't say anything.

He had to grasp the timing when he endorsed Shen An. Wrong timing would arouse the resentment of the emperor and his ministers.

Shen An came later and went in to meet the official family.

Later he came out and walked away, reportedly very arrogantly.

"The officials have said that there is no need to worry about this matter."

Chen Zhongheng came to report the news in person.

"What do you mean?" Han Qi held his chin with one hand, and the fat on his face was pushed aside.

Chen Zhongheng said: "Mr. Wen knows about this."

Old article?

Han Qi's eyes flashed with a stern look, and alarm bells rang.

"Wen Yanbo is invited to discuss matters." He glanced at his colleagues, and they all nodded in unison.

Since Han Qi became prime minister, the honeymoon between the Government Hall and the Privy Council has ended. The so-called dispute between the two governments originated from this stage.

Now Han Qi said that he invited Wen Yanbo to discuss the matter, and he was preparing to issue a warning.

Lao Wen, please don't interfere! Otherwise I will deal with you!

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Putting aside the rules of the civil-military system, Wen Yanbo's status as a leader of the old party was enough to make the ministers of the Political Hall share the same hatred towards him.

Wen Yanbo came later, still looking kind.

Everyone bowed and sat down.

The duty room has been temporarily renovated, with the prime ministers and assistants on one side, and a solitary stool on the opposite side.

This is the rhythm of a joint trial!

Wen Yanbo sat down with a smile, looked at the four prime ministers opposite and said, "The weather is good today."

The vigor of the prime ministers and assistants was somewhat dampened by these words.

Han Qi said calmly: "A wealthy businessman from Bianliang lent money to a bank. Why didn't you stop this...?"

This question was asked very arrogantly.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Why stop it? This is a good thing."

"Is hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest a trivial matter?"

Hundreds of thousands of strings is not a small matter, but it is not a big deal either.

Han Qi invited Wen Yanbo to come with great fanfare, just to give him a blow.

Since Lao Wen took up the post of Privy Councilor, he has not been able to recruit people from the Political Affairs Hall, so Han Qi has no chance to find an opportunity for him. So much so that he often nags: "How can I stab Wen Kuanfu?"

Today was a God-given opportunity, and Han Qi seized it as soon as he had an idea.

"The interest of hundreds of thousands of dollars is a lot, but compared with this, does Prime Minister Han know what those wealthy businessmen are doing now?"

Wen Yanbo smiled at Han Qi politely and said, "Those wealthy businessmen who have just received the loan certificates and have grain in the north immediately send people to the north to sell the grain in their grain stores to the local government on the spot. This is a low-level business." The price. Dozens of merchants, all kinds of baggage needed for the Northern Expedition, those wealthy merchants said they could solve 30% of it as soon as they opened their mouths... Prime Minister Han, do you know how great a benefit this is?"

Han Qi was startled, then sneered: "They actually...why? Is it for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest?"

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest... they can get it from doing business." Wen Yanbo looked at Han Qi with a more meaningful look, "But once the Northern Expedition is successful, does Prime Minister Han know how many things will be discovered?" selling?"

The land of Youyan has been in the hands of the Liao people for many years. Not to mention the various supplies of the government, there are countless things in the homes of the wealthy gentry and powerful people.

Today's Song Dynasty is not what it was like when the country was founded. It is impossible for generals to lead people to loot and hide good things privately. Such behavior is not feasible now. Once someone reports it, all the credit will be erased and the crime will be punished.

The government only needs money and food for those things, and the rest will be sold.

"They want this?" Han Qi thought for a while, "It's still not enough."

Those treasures are sold at a price, and even if it is lower, it is not enough to compensate for the losses of these merchants.

"The dignitaries and gentry of the Liao people have a lot of land in their hands. What if we add these?"

Wen Yanbo remained calm, but Han Qi was shocked, "There are a lot of fields. If the Northern Expedition wins, how many people will keep an eye on it? The imperial court does not support Xiang troops now, so what will those fields be used for? They can only be sold, but unless A large number of people must migrate there, otherwise those fields will be uncultivated..."

Zeng Gongliang's eyes lit up, "Those wealthy businessmen and powerful people like to buy fields the most. If you sell the land to those wealthy businessmen, you will get money and return their favor. And when they buy the land, they must be cultivated, so They will recruit tenant farmers from the south..."

Bao Zheng couldn't help but said: "The fields in the Song Dynasty have long been indivisible. Every generation of farmers is born, and each generation has less land. In a few generations, the farmers in the Song Dynasty will have no land to cultivate. .

Once Youyan is obtained, there will be a lot of land without owners, which will be just in time to get over the landless farmers in the south.

Those wealthy merchants will do it themselves, and they will take care of the money and food along the way. In this way, what the government should have paid a large sum of money and food to do can be done without spending a penny, which is a great kindness! "

Bao Zheng looked at Wen Yanbo with more relief.

This old friend was dormant in the Privy Council, seemingly calm, but once he took action, he was quick, accurate and ruthless, and solved the matter perfectly, with many benefits.

This method...how about Han Qi?

Bao Zheng took a look.

Han Qi recovered from his joyful mood at this moment, with a dull look on his face, "This is not bad."

Is this envy and jealousy?

Bao Zheng sighed, feeling that Han Qi's moody and angry temper was really good.

With such a person as prime minister, at least you don't have to worry too much about being stabbed in the back by him.

But Wen Yanbo really excelled this time.

Zeng Gongliang unabashedly praised: "Prime Minister Wen's policy can be said to be flawless. Several parties have taken it into consideration. All parties have benefited, but the biggest benefit belongs to the DPRK and China."

He stood up and held his hands in his hands: "I admire you!"

Bao Zheng praised: "The literary appearance is superb."

Fu Bi smiled and said, "Not bad."

Fu Bi felt a little uncomfortable.

real.

He is a former Privy Councilor, and during his time in charge of the Privy Council, he was only mediocre and had no achievements worth boasting about.

And Wen Yanbo made an outstanding appearance as soon as he arrived, and everyone will definitely think of him.

People are afraid of comparison. Everyone in the world has different strengths. In this field, he was obviously crushed by Wen Yanbo.

He had to praise someone in such a depressing moment, otherwise he would be narrow-minded.

Finally, there is Han Qi.

He said with a cold face: "It's okay."

He is the Prime Minister, so naturally he will not give Wen Yanbo too much face. Otherwise, how can the dispute between the two governments be maintained? The point is that the old party will be proud of it. UU reading www.uｕｎｈhu. net

Lao Han is not good at this, but he is extremely strong at this time.

Isn't Wen Yanbo just okay?

But I said it was okay.

Where?

This is shameless!

If someone else did it, everyone would despise it, but when Han Qi said it, everyone took it for granted.

Why is this?

Fu Bi felt a little ridiculous, and then he had some enlightenment.

Everyone has their own style of acting. Han Qi is used to being domineering and shameless. It is normal for him to be shameless. If he gets embarrassed one day, everyone will have to worry about whether he has convulsions or is possessed by ghosts and gods.

Wen Yanbo had been smiling, and now he stood up and raised his hands, saying loudly: "These are Shen An's plans, I don't dare to take them seriously."

"Farewell."

The prime ministers and ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they let Wen Yanbo slip away.

"Old man!"

Han Qi said angrily: "He said it was Shen An's plan. Who would praise him? He did this on purpose!"

Zeng Gongliang said with a sullen face: "He did it on purpose. He deliberately didn't say anything, so that we could endure our disgust and praise him."

Fu Bi sighed, "Does it mean that you have to be so shameless to be the prime minister?"

This is a double entendre.

Wen Yanbo was the former prime minister, and Han Qi is the current prime minister.

These two have one thing in common, that is, they can be shameless when necessary.

Wen Yanbo is a rare one, but Han Qi is shameless every now and then.

Bao Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it were anyone else, he would definitely complain, but this was his old friend, but he couldn't speak.
