The court meeting quarreled for two days, but there was no result. Zhenzong Zhao Heng did not expect that the first major event he encountered after ascending the throne actually caused the court to split.

This phenomenon is a headache for Zhenzong Zhao Heng, who does not have too many self-governing operations. Obviously, he has not yet learned the so-called imperial skills.

However, at the third day of the court meeting, the problem of the entire court meeting was solved. Because the money house actually wanted to meet the saints with Kaifeng Prefecture.

This made Zhao Heng unexpectedly that it was not an uproaring event for a commoner to meet the saint. However, it was not ordinary for a businessman without any title to meet the saint.

It was at least the first time in the decades when the founding of the Song Dynasty was forced to this point. This made the court feel a little worried, but so what if it can't be held back? Now it is obvious that the money bank intends to show goodwill to the court, so it has to be caught if it can't be held back.

Since the court needed it, Feng Yun got the opportunity to meet the saint, and this opportunity to meet the saint was not as simple as he thought. Since the court had quite different opinions on this matter, the test before Feng Yun was not just a simple matter of persuading Zhao Heng.

Sure enough, when he came to the court, he was facing the tide of the restrictive faction.

"Feng Yun, are you guilty?"

"Feng Yun, do you know that your money house has seriously harmed the peace of the Song Dynasty?"

"Feng Yun, do you know that this money house is a borer living inside the Song Dynasty?"

Such words are heard one after another, and they are endless. But there really is no sentence that says that is above the key, because these officials cannot speak of the key.

None of the things the money shop did violated the laws of the Song Dynasty, and Feng Yun was very confident about this. The Song Dynasty only had corresponding laws on forging copper coins, but it did not say that gold coins could not be minted privately.

The reason why Zhao Weiji set up a seemingly useless law course when he established Tsinghua Academy was that when his interests conflicted with the court, someone could help him study the criminal laws of the entire Song Dynasty and take advantage of the loopholes in the law.

So Feng Yun, who had a clear mind, began to refute these restrictive factions calmly.

"I think none of the things that my money shop does violate any of the criminal laws of the Song Dynasty. The criminal laws of the Song Dynasty do not say that they cannot do such money business, right?

Besides, we did not harm the Song Dynasty, we were helping the Song Dynasty.

The business in the Song Dynasty is very developed, but merchants often traveled through mountains and rivers with a large amount of copper coins to trade. This is not safe and very tiring. The emergence of our money shop is to help these merchants facilitate them. Once merchants are convenient, they can do more business and bring more taxes to the court.

We did this indirectly help the court. Why do we still say that we are borers from the Song Dynasty?"

Feng Yun said something that restrictive factions were speechless because these ministers were not confused. They knew that the current treasury income of the Song Dynasty was more maintained by commercial taxes.

If it were the land tax and the cap tax alone, the current military and official scale of the Song Dynasty would have been unable to maintain it for a long time.

However, they still firmly believe that although this money shop was very helpful to the Song Dynasty for a while, it must have been very harmful for a long time, because now they have controlled a lot of cash.

So someone stood up again: "Feng Yun, your money house is now sucking a lot of cash. Isn't it intentionally that the court must accept your gold coins and copper notes as settlement methods? Isn't you controlling the court in disguise? What's that?"

Feng Yun didn't care about such accusation, because he also had a way to deal with it. It can even be said that he came here today to solve the problem.

"For this matter, I hope to reach an agreement with the court, and we will sell gold coins and copper notes in the name of the court. In exchange, we will provide the court with complete accounting details and a huge interest-free loan."

"Interest-free loan? What does this mean?" Zhao Heng, who first heard about this word, became very interested, because this word was actually used by Zhao Weiji from later professional terms.

"Reply to Your Majesty, the meaning of interest-free loans is that when the court needs a lot of money to turn over at any time, the money house can lend the money to the court at any time, and there is no need for the court to pay any interest, and the repayment time can also be a long period of time."

As soon as this statement was made, the whole court immediately became in an uproar. The money house was so angry that it actually wanted to lend money to the court. Are they really rich enough to rival the country?

In fact, it is not that the money bank can be as rich as a country. It is just that Zhao Weiji taught them to use a set of basic tricks from later banks, that is, those deposits that no one uses can actually be used for investment or lending.

The same principle can also be used in the money shop. As long as there is no large-scale run, there will always be a large amount of copper coins in the money shop to use, because the market flow space of this copper coins has been temporarily replaced by copper tickets, so it is equivalent to the same money that can be used in two places at the same time.

In this way, this cash that gathers a large amount of savings from the people can naturally alleviate the temporary needs of the court. Therefore, it is not that the money house is rich enough to rival the country, but that the money house gathers the people's money together.

However, the court did not know this, and the money shop would not let the court know it. In fact, showing a wealthy attitude in front of the court is also part of Zhao Weiji's plan. After all, having such a large asset is also a shock to the court.

Moreover, Zhao Weiji believed that the Zhao Song royal family would not do Zhu Yuanzhang's actions of hating the rich, so Shen Wansan's fate would not happen to the money house.

Feng Yun was very satisfied with the reaction of the court officials present. As Zhao Weiji said in his letter, this reaction will lay a good foundation for subsequent negotiations.

Indeed, even Zhenzong Zhao Heng was shocked by Feng Yun's crazy remarks. Because Zhenzong knew that if the court really had difficulties that needed external money to overcome, then this money would definitely not be a small number.

But at the same time, Zhenzong was also attracted by Feng Yun's proposal, because if the money was really available, it would be a great benefit to the Song Dynasty, both the court and the people.

Because if the court really needed extra money, there were only two ways to solve the problem in the past, either minting new copper coins or increasing taxes.

However, these two methods will cause great harm to the people. Now that this money is available, the court will not have to cast new copper coins or increase taxes to survive the crisis. In this way, the people will also avoid unnecessary plundering, and the best of both worlds.

And there is another advantage, that is, you don’t have to pay any interest to repay the money, just borrow as much as you want. Not only that, you don’t have to rush to pay back the money.

Everything attracted Zhao Heng to agree to Feng Yun’s conditions immediately, but Zhao Heng quickly calmed down.

Youdao means being attentive to nothing, either annihilation or stealing. With such preferential conditions, gold coins and copper tickets are also given to the court for supervision. Such good things are really like pies falling from the sky, which makes Zhao Heng slightly more vigilant.

But what Zhao Heng didn't expect was that the money bank had no other requirements, and Zhao Heng could not understand the reason.

In his opinion, once the court has mastered the supervision power of the gold coins and the nominal ownership of the copper notes, the money shop will be controlled by the court in the future. This is undoubtedly true, but the ownership is only nominal.

However, as long as there is nominal ownership, is it not easy to want something practical in the future? As long as the army is famous, will it be difficult to deal with the strength of the court?

Not only Zhao Heng thought so, but even the ministers of the original restricted faction thought so. Since your money house has made a compromise, isn’t the rest of everything that is easy for the court?

However, there is a way that there are policies and countermeasures at the bottom. You have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a ladder. The court thought this way, and the problem was that Zhao Weiji would not give the court a chance to really interfere in the money house, because the court did not know how to interfere in the next thing Zhao Weiji wanted to use the money house to do next.

As for the ministers who had originally opposed the restrictive faction, the money shop will still exist now, and everything will be peacefully transitioned, so no one will make any objections. Anyway, as long as the money shop can be retained and the business carried out by the money shop continues, their interests will not be damaged at all.

In this way, an agreement that everyone was happy was reached, but after reaching this agreement, the real profit was the money house and Zhao Weiji behind the money house.

Because today's money shop is not only not a thorn in the court's side, but is under the court's protective umbrella. As for the accounting issues, Zhao Weiji has another way to keep accounts and hand them over to Feng Yun, and the court cannot see any problems from the account books.

The money bank is just a preparation for returning to the Central Plains in the future, and its real role cannot be fully reflected at this time.

However, after the money house matter was resolved, our story should come back to Zhao Weiji. He created something new in Xinhua City, and the emergence of this thing made Zhao Weiji's Xinhua City truly begin to surpass this era.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this thing that Zhao Weiji was able to return to the Central Plains with the strongest attitude in the near future as planned, and by that time no one could limit him.

This thing is a musket, this is not an ordinary musket, this is a musket that changes the world.
