Zhang Daxiang was originally skeptical about Han Yi's words. After he let the wind out, he immediately became convinced. There were voices of opposition, but the support was even louder.

With the public opinion foundation and the support of officials, the next step is to formally promulgate.

But before that, the queen had to nod.

Political Affairs Hall.

"There is also a restructuring of salary in this issuance of currency?"

Wu Meiniang took the salary statistics sheet and looked at Han Yi in a little surprised.

Han Yi nodded without changing his expression and said, "This is to increase the credibility of vouchers. If the court itself does not use vouchers, how can the people use vouchers with confidence? Therefore, all the salaries of officials are issued in vouchers."

Wu Meiniang said, "Have you told Your Majesty about this?"

What a joke, this is the consensus reached between Your Majesty and His Majesty. Han Yi nodded and said, "I discussed this with Your Majesty earlier, and Your Majesty also supports doing so."

Wu Meiniang looked at Han Yi with a little suspicion and thought to herself, you kid are just talking about the tip of the iceberg!

This salary reform is not a small change, but a large-scale change, which affects many aspects. If we look at the nature of the matter, it should have been dealt with separately. Wu Meiniang really only heard of this matter, but seeing this complete content today, this should not be a small hearing, this is not a small matter.

She knows Han Yi's style of behavior very well and is the best at avoiding the most important thing. What he says may be just one sentence, but once you nod, there will be continuous problems behind it, you can only follow his routine and make changes. Han Yi never tells the other party all his plans in one breath. He will only speak one mouthful and then keep digging in it.

Wu Meiniang looked at Zhang Wenguan and others again and said, "You have discussed this?"

Zhang Wenguan nodded and said, "There was a discussion in advance, and we all believe that the court should set an example. Only in this way can we effectively prevent the court from issuing vouchers indiscriminately. If the court can strictly follow the rules, there is no difference between these vouchers and copper coins."

They had been deeply doubting the issuance of paper money. He was worried that the officials would do whatever they wanted in the future. If the paper money was concentrated in the hands of the officials themselves, they would not dare to do anything they wanted. Once it depreciated, it would be their wealth!

This arrangement is very clever, using salary reform to influence monetary policy.

Wu Meiniang said: "Where are other ministers in the court? Do he agree with it?"

Cui Jieren said: "There are also some opposition voices. These people hope to retain their jobs and just change their salary to copper coins."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "I also have doubts. This change is not small. The court should consider it carefully."

Han Yi said: "But doing this is beneficial to everyone."

Wu Meiniang asked, "How do you say this?"

Han Yi said: "In fact, every official has his own field, and they have surplus of food, so many officials often use grain to exchange goods on the market. If you issue currency directly, it will make the lives of officials simpler. In addition, this can also increase the demand for food and stabilize the grain prices in Chang'an, and will not drop very badly. As long as the grain price market in Chang'an is very attractive, more grain will be transported to Chang'an, which will reduce the pressure on the canal transport to a certain extent.

Next, when officials are holding money, they must go to the market to buy it, which can stimulate the expansion of the market, increase consumption, and promote business to become more prosperous, which is very beneficial to the people. Moreover, the salary system in the past had many unfair phenomena, and officials had a lot of gray income, which the court did not know and had no way to supervise. For example, many officials like to deduct their salaries, but this is a system flaw. If the system is not changed, this problem cannot be fundamentally solved.

After this change, the salary of each official is clear. Moreover, from the perspective of human nature, people die for money and birds die for food, and the civil servants assigned to officials should belong to the court, and the salary should be given by the court, not the officials themselves. Also, now this is limited to Beijing officials and will be popularized in the future. Local officials have always been unfair, even if they are of the same level, but because of the good or bad places, the salary will become the same. Relatively speaking, it is much fairer. This can encourage some talented people to go to those poor places. Anyway, the salary will be the same, which will be of great help to backward places."

After hearing this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Are you really sure that after the promulgation, it will not cause turmoil in the court?"

Wang Xuandao said: "Reporting to the queen, most officials actually support it, because the handover of the vocational land is very troublesome. If they directly send money, they will feel more at ease. Those who oppose it are mainly targeting vouchers. If they send money directly, they may not oppose it."

Those who support the restructuring of salary are mainly middle- and low-level officials, because those good job lands were monopolized by royal relatives, princes and nobles. Sometimes the amount of job lands obtained is much less than the regulations, because the land in the court is getting is getting less and less, and the land occupied by high officials is getting is getting more and more worry-free than if the officials below say anything, it is better to pay money directly.

Also, some officials who specialize in working under high-ranking officials have their salaries entirely from officials, and some officials also withhold the salaries of their subordinates. This phenomenon is very common in the military, and they certainly support it.

Among the ministers of Shujiao, few of them were interested in salary. Zheng Shanxing, Wang Xuandao, Lu Shigua, Cui Jiren and others also followed Han Yi and did not want the salary of the court, because they had money. They wanted to contribute to this country and show their ambitions, rather than for money. We used this time to make money, and the profits we earned were much more.

Those related households are more opposed, which will reduce their gray income, but both upper and lower classes support it. In addition, in today's life, the role of money is getting bigger and bigger. When you go to a college, you can't sign up with food, go to an amusement park, and you can't buy tickets with food. This requires money. Moreover, the value of money is popular now, and they have a lot of land in their families, and they are relatively short of money, so they don't have to oppose it seriously.

Wu Meiniang kept making up for economic knowledge some time ago, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. She did not understand the benefits so quickly.

But then again, does this have a lot to do with her own interests? In fact, it doesn't, so she is thinking more. If this continues, the national interests will become tighter and tighter, and Han Yi's status will be more stable. This is why she wanted to change Han Yi's policy at the beginning. Han Yi has not established his own power now. He relies entirely on continuous reforms to consolidate his position.

This is something that all ministers do not have. Changsun Wuji only had one move back and forth, and it would be fine if he changed his own power. If he or she did not establish his own power, he would be done. This is true for both Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong. They must establish their own power in the court, but Han Yi does not need it because his policies are constantly changing. No one can play with them except him. Once they stop, problems will arise. The crisis of the last time has proved this, and you can only support him.

After Wang Xuandao finished speaking, Wu Meiniang remained silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a while, she nodded and said, "Since you and the rest of the ministers in the court support the reform, then do so!"

This monetary policy is actually very important. According to the content of the provisional law, Wu Meiniang cannot make the decision. Therefore, Li Zhi had already passed this monetary policy before that, because this policy was a policy that Li Zhi and Han Yi colluded with each other and set privately. When their copper coins were not used much, they began to specialize in copper mines and use grain to purchase copperware.

Therefore, this meeting was just a superficial skill. Wu Meiniang had to take charge of government affairs. She had no right to make decisions, but she had administrative power. She had to ask about the details of how to arrange them.

If she doesn't ask anything, why did she do it?

But it seemed like a waste of time to ask, because she couldn't fully see through the essence of this matter.

After the meeting, Wu Meiniang did not rush to leave the political affairs hall, but sat inside, holding the salary statistics sheet, and looked carefully. After a while, she put it down and murmured to herself: "It seems that it's time to meet him."

After this meeting, the court began to formally implement this monetary policy.

Of course, this first step is not to pay the salary. It is not time to pay the salary, but the salary reform has been determined, but it is limited to Beijing officials. This cannot be said to be in place in one step. Chang'an has a big market, and everything can be bought, so the currency will naturally become very important. But if you want it to go to the land of Bashu, the officials will definitely not do it and can't buy anything. Why do I want this currency?

This first step is actually a routine that Han Yi is very familiar with, which is demolition.

The step for Han Yi to issue currency is to issue copper coins first and then issue vouchers. Because the currency has changed greatly, there are one cent, five cents, five cents, and one yuan currency. There are words on the vouchers. The literacy rate of the people is not high. Just give them vouchers. The people may not be able to adapt and find it difficult to form this concept. First, send the copper coins to them, so that they can feel the currency of the face value in this set first, and then issue vouchers.

The copper coins have been minted during the process of minting, and more than half of them have been minted!

This copper coin belongs to the court. The court has to hit the heads of the people. How to smash it is to implement Yan Liben's urban construction plan. The city is full of people. If you want to renovate it, you must demolish it first, so you have to settle these people and build another house.

Why did Han Yi support Yan Liben's policy very much at the beginning? It was actually within his plan. He always felt that the city was too closed and it was difficult to develop a commercial atmosphere, so he was planning early in the morning, which was his town plan.

Simply put, this demolition plan is to convert the residential area on a large scale by the court in the suburbs. In fact, Han Yi has planned a long time ago. In addition to the northern suburbs, there are large-scale workshops in the east and south, and some residential areas have also been formed. The northern suburbs are because the Daming Palace is there, but it has not been developed. Then it goes directly to exchange for the people's houses in the city. There is no subsidy, but one-on-one exchange, whether you like to exchange or not.

Even so, this policy has not been officially promulgated. It was just that the news came out that the people in the city were very happy. Many people were very willing to exchange it, because they were afraid that the court would not ask them to exchange it.

This is really unimaginable in the future. At this time, it should be a huge price, and everyone wants to be the nail owner.

But today's people will not do this. It's not that they didn't expect it, but that it is too beneficial to them. If you refuse to change it, people will change it.

This is because except for officials, all the citizens are citizens, and the citizens are mainly scholars and the business class, or some miscellaneous people. Farmers generally do not live in the city. In the past, they were self-sufficient, and citizens made something at home, then sold it at the market, or went to run errands, working as workers and hawkers, making a living. But in this era, what you do at home is laborious, and it is not as useful as others’ workshops, and the price is not expensive, so how can you beat others?

Coupled with the previous crisis, the end result was that merchants returned, recruiting citizens to work on a large scale, helping citizens through that crisis. But the problem is that most of the merchants' workshops are built in the suburbs, which means that many citizens in the city have to rush to the workshop early in the morning and come back before the curfew. This is very painful. Of course, they are willing to live outside the city and can also live in a new house, which is very beautiful.
