C103 Bad Money Wants to Drive out Good Money

Zhang Hong, like Jianjun, does not wish for the efforts of several generations to be exchanged for internal friction under the power struggle.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Hong hoped to purify the environment through a persistent and serious young man like Jianjun Cheng.

Cheng Jianjun looks at Zhang Hong, he can see that Zhang Hong's eyes are a bit warmer, perhaps his thoughts are the same as Zhang Hong's.

"Jianjun, I wonder if you like history?" Zhang Hong asked.

"Yes. It's just that some history is very familiar, I wonder which part of history it is?" Cheng Jianjun asked.

"History, Donglin faction, what do you think?" Zhang Hong asked again.

"Although the Donglin faction initially wanted to overthrow treacherous officials like Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian, the internal troops were constantly merging the land, causing the poor to become poorer and the rich to become richer. Overall, the Donglin Party actually caused the Great Ming to enter an irreversible period of decline. " Cheng Jian Jun said.

"Do you think it will start from the Great Ming Dynasty in 1566 or later? Or even earlier? " Zhang Hong asked again.

"More accurately, it should start from Jiajing. But I don't understand. Division Chief, what do you mean?" Cheng Jianjun felt that Zhang Hong wanted him to use history to think of the current story, but he didn't know which part Zhang Hong took him for.

"Since you know about the Eastwood faction, then you understand that at this time, rather than forcefully suppressing them, you might as well take advantage of the situation" Zhang Hong stared into Cheng Jian Jun's eyes, "After all, after being arrogant, the only thing left is eternal damnation, and the key to eternal damnation is someone who persists on the bottom line. "

"Section Chief, which role did you ask me to play? Harry?" Cheng Jianjun became curious.

"When water is clear, there will be no fish. Naturally, I will not let you be Harry. " Zhang Hong shook his head.

"Then who is it?" Cheng Jianjun wanted to know his position even more.

"Why don't we just be a lazy Xu? Zhang Juzheng who treats his subordinates equally?" Zhang Hong hinted.

"Division Chief, you mean to let me wait for them to be arrogant and seize their problem to break through in one go?" Cheng Jianjun understood that he had deliberately come to the periphery to catch these bunch of people who wanted to get 60 points but did not want to advance.

"Yes. " Zhang Hong nods his head, "What do you think?"

"Chief, I promise you. " Cheng Jianjun clenched his fists, "I don't want irresponsible people to appear in our generation. So, if it's necessary to clean up the atmosphere, I'm willing to be that lone minister and be that bad person to correct the atmosphere. "

"Alright, I will wait for you to have a good rest. In a few days, you can discuss this with Su Jianguo. " Zhang Hong smiles.

"Okay, Division Chief. " Cheng Jianjun nodded, finally taking on the heavy responsibility.

At night, Zhang Hong called Zhao Cheng, "Elder Zhao. . . "

"Division Chief, how is it? Jianjun didn't let you down, right?" Hearing Zhang Hong's tone, Zhao Cheng could tell that Zhang Hong's tone had a kind of soothing feeling, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, but also like a huge stone in his heart that had been placed down.

"Yes, he didn't let me down. " Zhang Hong smiled, "In this generation of young people, there are still people who place the responsibility at the top. Really, very happy. "

"So, Section Chief, some things happen naturally. God bless China, there's no need to worry too much. " Zhao Cheng smiled and squinted his eyes. "I have already arranged for Su Jianguo to go and chat with Jianjun. I hope that this generation of young people can shoulder the historical responsibility that they should shoulder. "

"Hopefully, they will not disappoint us. " Zhang Hong sighs, "Especially at this crucial moment, we must not fail. "

"Don't worry, Jianguo and I know what to do. " Zhao Cheng nods his head.

When Cheng Jianjun arrived at the Soviet Union, Li Ying was taking his child to the Youth Palace to play. The two old men cooked a table full of dishes and made do with each other.

"Newlyweds, when is the engagement? I will bring my child and wife to cheer you on. " Su Jianguo poured wine for Chengjian Army.

"Your child is in junior high school and our child is not even born yet. I wonder what kind of fate this is. " Cheng Jianjun sighed with emotion.

"Hi, it's good to be married late, so relaxing and happy. Unlike us, who are still arguing with our children at such an old age. We don't even have many days left. " Su Jianguo chuckled and looked at Cheng Jianjun. " Speaking of which, when did the department head ask you to marry your Yuan Yuan? Is there a definite date? "

"Probably at the end of this year. " Cheng Jianjun smiled lightly. "Jianguo. . . Can I ask you a question?"

"What question?" Su Jianguo put down his chopsticks curiously.

"What do you think. . . I mean. . . What do you think of the human heart?" The question regarding Cheng Jianjun was very sudden, causing Su Jianguo to be somewhat surprised.

"Did you encounter something unpleasant? Why do you think so? Did something happen to Huang Lin again?" When Su Jianguo thought about it, he realized that it was about Huang Lin.

"The things that happened to me since I was young, regardless of the ways of the world. As for the score of 60 points, I hate the score of 90 points. They had to chase away those who scored 90 points and those who scored 80 points. I don't understand that an example is an enemy, to be used as an arrow target to get rid of. What kind of mentality is this!?" Cheng Jianjun took a deep breath. Obviously, he was angered by Huang Lin and the others' weird thoughts.

"I don't understand either. Could it be that we should do something good? Should I do one thing with all my might? Or should I do one thing with all my might? Or was the thing that I did my best to walk my own path, to make others have nowhere to go? Was it not for everyone to walk together? Didn't I go first, and they followed? Why did it become me taking the lead alone? And why did it become me who made things difficult for everyone?" Cheng Jianjun looked at Su Jianguo. " Jianguo, Jianguo. I don't understand! "

"You don't understand?" Su Jianguo smiled. "Why don't I tell you a story?"

"What story?" Cheng Jianjun frowned in puzzlement.

"The story of bad money expelling good money, how about it?" Su Jianguo poured some wine for Chengjian Jun. "Do you want to hear it?"

"Alright. " Cheng Jianjun nodded. He wanted to hear everything that was related to him.

"In the Great Tang, there was a period of time when the royal clan squandered so much that the Great Ming Palace didn't have much stock left. What should we do? I thought of a way to start from the foundation of money. " Su Jianguo poured himself a cup of wine and raised his head to drink it.

The spicy wine made his throat somewhat spicy. However, the way Cheng Jianjun spoke to him reminded him of his past. The past when he was rejected in school, the past when he first entered the profession.

The same experience, the same mentality, how could he not feel it?

"Jianjun, do you know how ancient money, especially copper coins were made?" Su Jianguo looked at Jianjun Cheng.

"Made from copper, iron, and some other metals, a mold of money. What's wrong?" Cheng Jianjun was curious.

"Yeah, a mold of money. Then, Jianjun, what do you think the ratio of copper and iron should be?" Su Jianguo asked again.

"Only the officials who cast the money know about this, right?" Cheng Jianjun did not know much about casting money.

"Then, as a citizen, do you think you can tell what the ratio of iron to copper is?" Su Jianguo asked again.

"I can't tell. So?" Cheng Jianjun was curious.

" That's right, if you can't tell which one is qualified and which one isn't qualified, how do you know which one is qualified? Especially the money that the royal family gave the order to produce, which is between qualified and unqualified, is even harder to distinguish. Don't you think so? " Su Jianguo's words were a few twists and turns.

"Jianguo, can you explain it clearly?" Cheng Jianjun's words were now somewhat interesting.

"Take Tang Xuanzong's era as an example. If the ratio of the copper used to open up the Yuan Opening Treasure is 60%, then the ratio of copper used to open up the Yuan Opening Treasure will be 60%. If the ratio of iron is 40%, then what about the ratio of Heaven Origin Treasure? The ratio of copper is 30%, and the ratio of iron is 70%. In this ratio, Since ancient times, copper had been the price of iron by dozens or even hundreds of times. If it were you. . . Do you want more copper or iron?" Su Jianguo asked step by step.

"Of course, I want more iron. " Cheng Jianjun said without thinking.

"Let's take a look at the ratio of the Natal Opening Treasure to the copper of the Heaven's Origin Treasure, 2: 1. Ignore the cost of iron. Can I interpret it as two great treasures of Heaven Origin that can be made with one Natal Opening Treasure? " Su Jianguo asked.

"Yes. " Cheng Jianjun nodded.

"Then. . . What if the royal family told the people that ten Natal Opening Treasures can be exchanged for one Heaven Origin Treasure? As a common person, do you want to exchange for a more valuable Heaven Origin Treasure? " Su Jianguo smiled.

"Naturally. " Cheng Jianjun directly nodded.

"But a Heaven's Origin Treasure is exchanged for a Natal Opening Treasure. In terms of the ratio of copper, What about 20 Heaven's Origin Treasures? If I calculate the cost of iron and the ratio of exchange, a Natal Opening Treasure exchanged for a Heaven's Origin Treasure, After the Origin Opening Treasure was dissolved, the Origin Opening Treasure would be reforged. What if the profit can be exchanged for is equivalent to 18 Heaven Origin Treasures? " Su Jianguo's words caused Chengjian Jun's eyes to widen.

"If that's the case, isn't Heaven's Origin Treasure just a lever? Isn't it equivalent to collecting copper from the common people and restructuring money to expand the royal family's copper reserves? If that's really the case. . . Then the money in the people's hands is actually getting lesser and lesser. " Cheng Jianjun's words made Su Jianguo smile and squint his eyes.

"That's right. This is because there are fewer and fewer Yuan Opening treasures among the people. That is to say, the amount of copper is getting lesser and lesser. At crucial moments, copper can also be compared to gold and silver. " Su Jianguo smiled very happily.

"If that is the case, that means. . . The matter of opening up the currency is truly a story of bad money expelling good money. But why is this story so familiar? Wait. . . Isn't this the case of the Jiangnan evil money during the Tang Xuan Sect era? This is the world's most notorious virtual money that has harmed the real economy. This is the story of the Anshi Rebellion!" Cheng Jianjun had also heard of that part of history.

"That's right, because bad money expels good money for a long time. This caused the lives of the people to become more and more difficult, resulting in the outbreak of the An Lushan Rebellion. Many a time. People did not look at the outcome of expelling the good money because no one had the foresight to do so. When looking at a bad coin expelling a good coin, one would often think that it was a profit. However, there was no need to worry about it. There must be worries in the future. Don't you think so?" Su Jianguo's words caused Cheng Jianjun to nod his head.
