The town is a big victory!

Qijiang victory!

The good news from the southwest is one after another from Guizhou to the capital.

Along the way is shouting all the way.

This shout was terrible, and the grain prices in the entire Jiangnan region immediately collapsed.

I can't hold it anymore!

They raised the price of grain before, because Guo Dan was shouting everywhere to buy grain and grass, and everyone knew that a large amount of grain and grass was needed to fight this war, so those big landlords and the government united, on the one hand, to restrict the granary of Yinuo insurance, and on the other hand, to raise the price of grain with Guo Dan everywhere, don't worry about you not buying, but Guo Dan is a false shot, and my brother really won't buy it.

Guo Dan had already revealed that he had bought a lot of food, but they still thought it was just Guo Dan's trick.

Reluctant to believe.

But as the good news continued to come, they finally believed that Guo Dan had already bought hundreds of thousands of taels of grain and grass, but this guy was too rich, and he didn't make a sound when he took out hundreds of thousands of taels.

As a result, the big landlords hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in their hands, and they didn't know what to do, and the rise in grain prices directly led to the difficulty of maintaining local commerce, because the cost was too high.

A large number of merchants poured into Kaifeng Mansion, and they all went with silver, which led to the high silver and cheap grain in the state capitals.

The price of grain fell below eight yuan in an instant, and the current grain price in Jiangnan is only seven yuan, which is even lower than before the price increase.

Nanking.

"Please stay outside the week."

Kou Yi stopped an old man who was about to get up and leave.

The old man surnamed Zhou turned around and looked at Kou Yi.

Kou Yi smiled: "Aren't you going to say thank you?" ”

The old man immediately took a breath, and after a while, he threw down a "thank you" and left angrily.

Thank you?

Lao Tzu lost a full 5,000 taels, and he still wants to say thank you to you?

What a tragic word!

It turned out that at this time, Yinuo Insurance began to buy grain frantically under the banner of maintaining food prices, and forcibly raised the price of grain back to eight yuan.

What a light of justice!

However, under this justice, Yinuo Insurance made more than 100,000 taels of grain, which can basically guarantee to deal with any natural disasters, and the big landlords who followed Yinuo Yaxing also made a lot of money because of speculation in grain.

But they also sold their grain to Yinuo Insurance, because they wanted silver, and they were not short of food.

However, when the good news reached the capital, it was drowned out by the impeachment, and almost no officials in the capital talked about the good news.

Officials in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Hu played one after another to impeach Yinuo Yaxing, Li Rusong, Ye Mengxiong, Wu Weizhong, and others.

Where did these guys come to Banzhou, they are clearly here to fight us, so far, not even a single officer and soldier have entered the border of Banzhou, but we have lost a lot of land.

They have not given us even an inch of the territory they have recovered, they have all taken it for themselves, and they have also set up the local government.

An official from Zhenyuan Mansion even sent the household registration issued by Yinuo Yaxing.

The minister of the DPRK and China was very shocked by this.

It's not Yang Yinglong who rebelled, it's the emperor.

But they couldn't see the emperor, so they could only find the celebrant to come.

At present, the celebrant is the only institution where ministers can get in touch with the emperor.

"Minister, what's going on?"

Zhang Heming took a Zhenyuan household registration issued by Yinuoya Bank and asked Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng said expressionlessly: "This is instructed by His Majesty. ”

Apparently he knew about it.

Zhang Heming was surprised: "How can Your Majesty do this? ”

Shen Shixing and Xu Guo also looked at Zhang Cheng incredulously.

Zhang Cheng snorted: "You supervising the imperial history, it's really disappointing, don't you know that those officials are already guilty?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Heming was stunned.

Zhang Cheng said: "At that time, when the bandits were making trouble in the local area, they had no resistance, and they knew that they had escaped and caused great losses to the local area, so don't say that you didn't know about it." ”

There was silence in the room.

Of course they... Yes, of course.

In fact, they couldn't resist Yang Yinglong originally, and they didn't want the emperor to win, so they wouldn't resist, which is why Yang Yinglong was able to capture so many state capitals in an instant.

But none of the officials died, they all ran away beforehand.

Yang Yinglong is not stupid, these officials are his allies, and they are all notified.

But this was caught by Wanli.

Zhang Cheng said again: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to entrust your people to this kind of official again, so he let Yinuoya first provide relief for work, relieve the local people, and maintain local law and order. ”

Wang Jiaping said: "Even if Your Majesty wants to remove them from their posts and ask them for their crimes, they should also assign other officials to go." ”

Zhang Cheng sighed: "It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to do this, it's just because the local people are full of disappointment with those officials, and now Governor Ye has a hard time stabilizing the hearts of the people. The fighting is still going on over there, and this rear must be stable. ”

“......！”

The faces of Wang Jiaping, Zhang Heming and others were blue and red.

I can't do it!

At this moment, a speech official walked in and said a few words in Zhang Heming's ear.

Zhang Heming's face was shocked, and he said, "Really? ”

The speaker nodded, and handed over a recital.

Zhang Heming took it and looked at it, and then said to Zhang Cheng: "Prime minister, a letter has just come from Banzhou, at present, the bandits in Gui, Hu, and Sichuan have been exterminated by our army, but our army is marching towards Banzhou, and Commander Yang of Banzhou is very panicked and confused about this. ”

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "This Yang Yinglong is really well-informed. ”

Shen Shixing asked, "How can the prime minister say this?" ”

"Wait a minute, everybody."

Zhang Cheng got up and went to the back room, and after a while, he took out a stack of folds and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, these are all letters for help sent by Banzhou Tusi, the land under their jurisdiction has been attacked by many bandits, and Yang Yinglong ignores this, just takes care of his own territory, so he hopes that the imperial court can send officers and soldiers to help them exterminate the bandits. ”

Shen Shixing, they immediately picked up the fold and looked at it.

Xu Guo said in a low voice: "Lord Shoufu, this... This doesn't look like a fake! ”

Shen Shixing looked at Zhang Heming and them again, and the other party's face was the same as eating stool, it didn't taste good, but he was embarrassed to say it.

It's a war full of weirdness.

Yang Yinglong saw that his expansion plan was unsuccessful, so he withdrew all the Banzhou troops, first kept his own one-third of an acre, and played to the court with a bad face, saying that all the bandits near Banzhou had been exterminated, and praised the emperor's wisdom.

And he was willing to pay 40,000 gold to reward the officers and soldiers, and thanked the imperial court for not letting Banzhou be harassed by bandits.

If there is a truce at present, he has not lost anything, Banzhou has not lost an inch of land, and the current war is taking place in Kohiro and Chuandi.

This is how to spend money to eliminate disasters.

But it's a pity that because he oppresses the local five divisions and seven surnames all the year round, Banzhou is not a monolith, and the five divisions and seven surnames headed by Mao Shoujue and Zhang Xi spontaneously sent a letter to Li Rusong, saying that Yang Yinglong is farting, don't believe it, we were all driven out by the bandits, and now the bandits have run to Banzhou, and I hope that Li Rusong can lead the troops into the broadcast to exterminate the bandits.

It's embarrassing.

It's not that we want to march into Banju, but you invited us to go.

.....．

When Zhang Cheng returned to the Qianqing Palace, Wanli was negotiating with Guo Dan, and now Wanli is with Guo Dan every day.

"What do they say?"

Wanli saw that Zhang Cheng was back, and hurriedly asked Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng smiled and groaned: "What else can they say, after the ministers showed them Mao Shoujue's recitals, they were all speechless. ”

"Hahaha!"

Wanli laughed happily.

Joyfully!

It's a thrill!

Now for him, it is really a complete victory.

Wanli said to Guo Dan on the side: "Guo Dan, you continue to talk about the financial situation of Banzhou. ”

"Yes."

Guo Dan nodded and continued: "According to the results of our people's survey, the land of Banzhou is fertile and abundant, although the traffic there is a little inconvenient, but fortunately, there is still a river to come out, and we can grow tea, mulberry forests, and medicinal materials over there, which are all related to transportation and storage.

According to the statistics of the lowly position, after two years, His Majesty will be able to collect 300,000 taels from Banzhou every year, and within three years, all the money spent on this campaign will be returned. If we include the part of the land we now occupy in Huguang, Guizhou, Chongqing, etc., we will basically be able to return to our capital in two years. ”

"Okay."

Wanli laughed and said, "I want to take advantage of the victory to pursue now." Chamberlain. ”

"The minister is here."

Zhang Cheng said immediately.

Wanli said: "You immediately send an order to Ye Mengxiong, and ask him to remove all the officials from Zhenyuan Mansion and other places from their posts and ask for their crimes, and escort them back to Beijing." ”

Now he will not pass up any opportunity to fight the bureaucracy.

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "Weichen obeys. ”

Wanli added: "In addition, I have decided to set up three courts in those state capitals. ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is this a little anxious, our army has not yet entered Banzhou!" ”

Once the three courts are established, it will be to change the land and return to the stream, and the Tusi system will be replaced by the three courts.

But the problem is that the biggest toast in the area is still there, and you can change the land now, in case something happens, it won't be embarrassing.

Guo Dan also said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right, this may stimulate some toasts in the surrounding area." ”

Wanli said: "But I can't wait, I want everyone to know that it is I who abolish the Tusi system and find a replacement method." ”

They had been surrounded and suppressed before, and they had been holding their breath for too long.

Guo Dan also understood in his heart, and after a little muttering, he said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is not impossible to set up three courts, but I have to put it another way, let's say that due to the unfavorable encirclement and suppression of bandits by the local government, a large number of local toasts have been sacrificed, and now there is a lack of governance, in order to ensure local law and order, and restore the local people's livelihood, so the three courts are temporarily established." ”

Wanli was still a little dissatisfied when he heard it, Lao Tzu just wanted to pretend to be forced, but you were so humble, he shook his head and said: "This reason can be used, but it can't be said that it is a temporary establishment of three courts, this gentleman has no jokes, I want to set up three courts in those places, not only to set up three courts, but also to recruit lawyers, so that those who have fallen off the list will no longer be disappointed." ”

At the beginning, when his reform failed, the only thing he reserved was to set up three courts in prosperous prefectures and counties, and the reason was very simple, that is, to win over the world's scholars, if the world's scholars stood on the side of the officials, then he would also appear to be weak.

After all, the country still needs scholars to govern, after all, Confucian beliefs cannot be destroyed.

Guo Dan saw that Wanli was determined to pretend to be this force, and also understood that Wanli needed to brag in exchange for everyone's support, so he hurriedly fought for a little benefit for himself, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can let them go to the law school to obtain a litigator qualification certificate." ”

Wanli nodded and said, "Quasi-play!" ”

When he got out, Zhang Cheng whispered: "Now that the other side is only recovering the lost territory, Your Majesty is in a hurry to change the land and return to the stream, will this be self-defeating!" ”

Guo Dan said: "Prime Minister please rest assured, according to the news I have learned, Yang Yinglong is in the capture of Guizhou, Huguang part of the local Tusi is a big killing, many Tusi strength is greatly damaged, exile, if the foundation of the establishment of the Three Courtyards is to return all their land and houses to them, and reach a cooperation agreement with them, I think in exchange for their support for the Three Courtyards." ”

He's already doing it over there, but it's just sneaky.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "That's doable, alas... But don't have any more accidents, Your Majesty has said everything, and if there is an accident, it will be difficult to get it. ”

"Probably not, according to Ye Mengxiong's military report, many toasts in Banzhou are against Yang Yinglong, this internal and external troubles, he Yang Yinglong can still turn the sky upside down."

"This is a 10,000-year-old ship!"
