However, Zhao Huan also knew that for an ancient person like Xu Churen, this speed was already very fast.
"The Council of State Affairs has done a very good job on these matters. With Minister Xu here, I can rest easy!"
"It is my duty to promise Your Majesty's favor and to share your burdens."
Alas, serving a ruler is truly like serving a tiger. This emperor changes his mind faster than flipping through a book. Just a few days ago, he said he would behead him because of the grain price issue, and now he is giving him such high praise.
"However, the matter of the paper money needs to be expedited."
Zhao Huan said, "Let's talk about the paper money issue after things have stabilized in the south and the food supply has caught up."
Now, due to the situation in the south, the total amount of grain in Tokyo has decreased, which has already caused prices to soar. Issuing paper money at this time is undoubtedly making things even more difficult.
Before doing anything, you need to identify the core issue. Otherwise, if you throw a punch but miss, it will inevitably affect morale and lead to weak and ineffective execution in the future.
In Zhao Huan's plan, paper money was the next step after solving the food problem.
Although the emperor was an impatient person, he was not hasty or chaotic when it came to grand strategy, and he knew very well what kind of move he would make.
For now, as long as we ensure the safety of the northern border and the prices of goods in the capital, we can focus on resolving the issues in the south. Only after that can the emperor act with greater freedom.
That was when the new policies truly began.
To lead an ancient monarchical agricultural state to prosperity, it's not something that can be solved by simply killing.
Killing is merely a means to an end; the real task of making the Song Dynasty rise again is a long and arduous one.
