When Jiang Fu was dragged away, Ma Yongkang and Wu Lin came to pay a visit to Zhao Buxi.

They watched Jiang Fu, who was covered in blood, fainted from his face, be dragged away like a dead dog, and sighed in silence.

Jiang Fu's fate can be said to be unsurprising, especially Ma Yongkang. Zhao Buxi even clearly told him that he would treat Jiang Fu as a consumable, and this matter itself was led by Ma Yongkang.

He and Zhao Buxi sang a double act, concealing the world and gaining temporary stability by offering sacrifices to Jiang Fu.

But Jiang Fu at least devoted himself to Zhao Buxi. He did all the dirty and tiring work. Now, when Zhao Buxi encountered something, he threw Jiang Fu out of trouble and let Jiang Fu take the blame to death. More or less, they still felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.

In the future, will anyone be willing to do things for Zhao Buxi?

Perhaps it’s not that Zhao Buxi doesn’t understand, but he has no choice anymore.

Ma Yongkang and Wu Lin looked at each other and saw an extremely complicated look in each other's eyes. The two sighed in unison with each other's understanding, and then continued to pay homage to Zhao Buxi.

The reason why they paid homage to Zhao Buxi was very simple.

Let’s talk about the crisis faced by the Chengdu court in the current situation of Jiaozi’s collapse.

Ma Yongkang talked about the social crisis.

A large number of shops went bankrupt, many people committed suicide, and the shops they opened refused to Jiaozi. Jiaozi has become waste paper, but many people have no iron money, only Jiaozi. If Jiaozi can't spend money, they will die sooner or later.

Such people are spread throughout the society.

Whether it is landlords, merchants, handicraftsmen, or farmers, they go bankrupt in large quantities and fall into death. If the court does not do anything, they will only be dead, or they will all rise up.

Can the army suppress the rebels in the entire Sichuan and Sichuan area?

Isn't this good?

Ma Yongkang asked the court whether it was done to rescue the market, such as ordering the official salt shop to accept it and only accept Jiaozi's payment to purchase salt. This would alleviate the Jiaozi crisis to a considerable extent and give those in desperate situations a little hope.

Anyway, for the court, there is no crisis in salt at present, so it can be used to alleviate the current situation.

In the salt trade, the court made a sure profit without losing money. Salt with a cost of a few cents can be sold for more than 100 yuan, which has a huge profit margin, so it is also very operational.

If you do it a little, turn the reputation Jiaozi into salt Jiaozi. In this way, you can definitely hedge against the financial crisis caused by Jiaozi's collapse. Even if you cannot hedge them all, you can stabilize the situation a little, and don't let deflation destroy the Sichuan-Shu economy.

This is the winning magic weapon of the Chengdu court!

No need at this time, when will it last?

Ma Yongkang's suggestions are very good and feasible, but Zhao Buxi does not view the problem this way.

"Since Jiaozi is already waste paper and has lost the credit of the people, the salt shop accepting Jiaozi will only cause the court to lose a large amount of salt in a short period of time, and to take back a large amount of worthless Jiaozi. Although the court is not short of salt, does it take money to collect salt and make salt? Don't this money still need to be paid with iron coins?"

Zhao Buxi was very unhappy and spoke in a bad tone.

"Jiazi has been abolished, that is abolished. No matter how much the court adds value to Jiaozi, no one will dare to use Jiaozi in a short period of time. No matter how much salt is, it will not change this situation. It will only put the court in a dilemma!

What is the use of becoming a waste paper in the hands of the imperial court? Instead, a large amount of salt will be bought away! The salt administration is still the financial pillar of the imperial court. If this pillar is lost, what will you let me run the imperial court?

As long as the court has money, no matter how many thieves are, they can be killed. If they have no money, they can only wait for death! Mr. Ma, you are an important official in the court. Why are you so confused about such a big deal? Why don’t you understand my painstaking efforts? I’m very disappointed with you!"

Zhao Buxi slapped his desk and sneered at Ma Yongkang.

Ma Yongkang just said that.

He felt that the anger of the local faction was really fierce, so he thought about comforting the restless local faction. If Zhao Buxi really didn't want to, no one could force him.

Both Ma Yongkang and Wu Lin are people who want reputation, face and reputation behind them. One is more than fifty and the other is more than sixty, and they are both in their twilight years of life. It doesn’t make much sense to pursue any power and fame.

Of course, Zhao Buxi's recognition of using the salt administration to provide Jiaozi with the best efforts to alleviate the social crisis will not be recognized by Zhao Buxi.

Of course, Zhao Buxi was not completely unsuccessful in mind.

It’s all for the people to rebel, but the entire official ruling class cannot rebel. If they rebel, they will be particularly dangerous.

So he planned to divide and disintegrate again. For the local officials of Sichuan and Shu who did not report to attack Jiang Fu this time, he would reward a batch of property for compensation for various reasons, so as to win over the moderates among local officials.

This also disrupts the local faction so that they cannot gather together to resist their next orders.

He felt that his move was a model of success in hiding the truth.

After one wave of operations, he lost nothing. The Chengdu imperial court's treasury was enriched and the army was obedient. It was also possible to clear out a group of people who raised questions. How good is it?

Seeing Zhao Buxi's appearance as if no one knows hiding the world better than me, Ma Yongkang suddenly felt that there was nothing to say, so he kept silent and said nothing.

Ma Yongkang stopped talking, so next is Wu Lin.

What Ma Yongkang is talking about is a topic of government affairs, so what Wu Lin is talking about is naturally a problem of military affairs.

Zhao Buxi also knew what Wu Lin was going to say.

"Jiazi collapsed, which is equivalent to waste paper. The morale of the army is unstable and the morale has plummeted, so that the defeat of Zizhou and Suining Prefecture is very unfavorable to the court to pacify the thieves. I also ask Your Majesty to understand the morale of the army, the soldiers, and add more comfort. Otherwise, the military situation will be unfavorable and the ministers will be unhappy."

After Wu Lin finished speaking, Zhao Buxi frowned.

If it was just a civil issue, Zhao Buxi could still use a powerful army to maintain systematic governance. After all, his regime was based on the support of bureaucrats, landlords and gentry classes and the escort of the army. In the most extreme cases, the army is the last possibility to maintain everything.

Therefore, Zhao Buxi can withstand many blows from many things, and the only thing he cannot bear is the lack of support and failure of the army.

His economic conspiracy was not originally targeted at the army, and he even deliberately avoided the army and wanted to keep the army alone. He sent Jiaozi to the army because he was considering that the army was fighting outside and could not use Jiaozi for the time being. When they could use it, everything would be settled.

There is so much iron money in his treasury, he can always use some to stabilize the morale of the army.
