Section 124 Treasury Bonds (First Update!) )

Ping'er left with a confused and uneasy mood.

For this girl, Feng Ziying really has a little thought.

has a good way to run a family and handle things appropriately, she is more down-to-earth than the slightly arrogant Jin Chu'er, and she is a good helper, of course, it doesn't stop there, Feng Ziying will not forget about it, but she just does it easily.

Among the several big maids in this Jiafu, Mandarin Duck and Ping'er are undoubtedly a step higher than Jin Chu'er and Raiders, which mainly refers to treating people and things, dealing with people, having high emotional intelligence, and managing the back house very skillfully, as for Qingwen and Zijuan, they have their own characteristics, Qingwen is straightforward and spicy, and Zijuan is loyal.

Wang Xifeng's matter, Feng Ziying never promised anything, but after accepting other people's "votes", it seems that she looks a little scum if she doesn't do anything, thinking of Wang Xifeng's shameful, annoyed, angry and helpless demeanor that day, Feng Ziying is suddenly in a very good mood, maybe she also has some abusive tendencies?

Let's see, but it seems that the problem of the clouds is not so deep.

When the center of gravity of the imperial court gradually shifted to the matter of opening the sea and borrowing debts, it was more likely that Beidi scholars like Yunguang would be deposed and dismissed, just like Najiayu Village, temporarily retiring, waiting for the opportunity to recover.

However, those who were dismissed because of greed for ink are no better than those who were dismissed for political reasons, even if they come back, the upper limit is limited, and once it comes to a critical time, there will always be opponents who will take out this matter.

A character like Yunguang, who is already in a high position as the governor of Shaanxi, and has the identity of a Beidi scholar, if this incident does not happen, at least the six Shangshu will have a place for him in the future, but now this can only become a dream, and he can only work hard to fight for a comeback after being dismissed from the official position without being too affected.

As for the letter that Wang Xifeng wrote to Yunguang, it seems that it was not mentioned at all, which Feng Ziying learned a thing or two from when she went to see Qiao Yingjia in the afternoon.

The entire Western Expedition and Suppression of the Rebellion involved in this kind of thing is led by Yang He, and Qiao Yingjia is Yang He's backing in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although it is not clear how the imperial historians under Yang He's leadership deal with this kind of situation, Feng Ziying also believes that judging from the reputation left by Yang He in the history of his previous life, it should be no problem to control a few imperial historians under his command, since Qiao Yingjia has no reaction, this matter should not be a big deal.

The specific situation will not be clear until these imperial historians return to Beijing with Yunguang, Ma Xia and others.

Busy, really busy, but extraordinarily fulfilling.

I have to enter the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor, this is the second time I have entered the palace to meet the emperor, and it is estimated that many people's eyes will be red with jealousy.

This kind of solo performance, many fourth- and fifth-grade officials may not be able to have it once in their lives, but he himself, who does not even have the status of a formal official, has met for the second time in just ten days.

Although she caught up with this opportunity, Feng Ziying knew very well that she had left a very good and deep impression on Emperor Yonglong, and if she could further deepen it, it would be extremely beneficial to her next development.

According to the convention, if you dismiss the museum and confer officials, the Hanlin Academy will not be able to run, but the Hanlin Academy is an idle position, and the history revision is the main responsibility, and it is generally two to three years, and then it may be promoted to revision, or you will enter the six departments or the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Dali Temple, and the General Administration.

Two to three years of idle time is definitely not what Feng Ziying wants, Feng Ziying hopes to continue to live like her time in Shujishi, well, that is, she is not on the job, and can engage in some more meaningful work as an editor of the Hanlin Academy.

But the identity of the Hanlin Academy is different, it is not as good as the government of the Jishi, it is not just an official who can call it by name, and the emperor has to nod.

"Who is my father seeing?"

King Li stood outside the corridor with his hands behind his back, and when his father was meeting his ministers in the east study, he was not allowed to disturb unless it was an urgent military situation, and he was the same as the prince.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor is summoning Feng Keng." The chamberlain replied respectfully.

"Feng Keng? The guy who came back from the Western Expedition to quell the rebellion? "King Li came interested, "I remember that a few days ago, Brother Wang came to see his father, but he didn't see him, saying that his father summoned this Shuji until the evening, and even dinner was given in the palace?" ”

The chamberlain knew that the royal brother mentioned by His Royal Highness was his elder brother, King Fu.

There are also many sons of Emperor Yonglong, in addition to the emperor's eldest son Shouwang, there are also the emperor's second son Fu Wang, the fourth son of the emperor Li Wang, the ninth son of the emperor Lu Wang, the thirteenth son of the emperor Gong Wang, the longest Shou Wang has been married and has a son and a daughter, the second son Fu Wang has also been married and has a son, Li Wang is expected to get married this year, only King Lu and King Gong are young and not yet adults.

Emperor Yonglong did not come out, and died early, Emperor Yonglong also followed the example of his father Emperor Yuanxi, no longer established the queen, with Xu Guifei in charge of the harem affairs, King Shou was out of Xu Guifei, King Fu and King Li were both from Su Guifei, King Lu was from Mei Guifei, and King Gong was from Guo Guifei.

"Yes." The waiter bowed his head.

"It seems that this gentleman is very much appreciated by his father." King Li was surprised.

He knew his father's temperament, and unlike his grandfather, who liked to talk about poetry with his ministers in the study, his father didn't like poetry and writing, and was only willing to discuss government affairs with his ministers, so there were not many cases where the ministers came to the east study to play alone.

As far as he knows, in addition to the two first assistants and second assistants, the most people came, that is, Zhang Jingqiu, the secretary of the military department, Zheng Jizhi, the secretary of the household department, Chai Ke, the left attendant of the military department, and Zhang Huaichang, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, but the father should not like Zheng Jizhi and Zhang Huaichang very much.

To His Royal Highness's words, the chamberlain naturally couldn't answer.

"Looks like my father is free this morning?" King Li asked intentionally or unintentionally.

The waiter didn't answer anymore, and after thinking about it, he said: "Maybe it won't be so long to play right today, I see that Feng Shujishi brought a lot of articles in, and it should be to play the article,......"

King Liwang nodded, if so, maybe he could wait a little longer.

When King Li was speculating about Feng Ziying outside the corridor, Feng Ziying did introduce some specific ideas to Emperor Yonglong in the east study to open the sea and raise debts.

The princes of Kaihai may know more, but borrowing, especially borrowing against sea taxes, and the collection of concessions, is a purely new thing, and no one has any experience, so how to operate it needs to be carefully pondered.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the conditions are almost ripe, and the household department and the military department can start to discuss specific matters and submit them to the cabinet." stayed for more than an hour, and Feng Ziying was also a little tired.

This Yonglong Emperor is in his fifties, and his energy is indeed extraordinary, and he has to ask every question clearly, tirelessly, even to the point that everything is too big or small, even Feng Ziying is a little unbearable.

It is said that this person's body maintenance is very proper, and his diet and rest are customized every morning and evening, and he has a little feeling of purity and few desires, and even invited some Taoist priests to make alchemy in the palace, which made Feng Ziying also mutter, why is it very tranquil in these aspects, but it is so serious in court affairs?

Maybe it's really the life of a toiling emperor.

"Hmm, Feng Qing, I read your plan, borrowing is based on a written quota to specific people, is this different from previous borrowing?" Emperor Yonglong did not feel the passage of time at all, and he was very interested in the series of debts brought by Feng Ziying, and even the formation of the imperial court and the merchant joint stock of the sea trade and development fleet.

Although Feng Ziying's suggestions are still a bit sketchy, they have already faintly revealed some clues, that is, to earn back more silver for the imperial court, not necessarily limited to taxes, but including debts, concessions, and the court's own livelihood, this last point has never been seen before.

When the concession fee was last met, Feng Ziying had already mentioned it to Emperor Yonglong, and this time it was a more detailed explanation, which made Emperor Yonglong's eyebrows flutter.

The proposal for the imperial court to participate in maritime trade and colonization was combined with the two "Internal References" to introduce the production of Japan, Korea, Annam, Dongfan and other places, and the purpose was also very clear, that is, to let the imperial court turn the financial income in these directions, and not be limited to collecting taxes in the existing territory of the Great Zhou.

"This kind of debt can be called a national debt, which can be set according to the needs of the imperial court and given a certain amount of interest according to the term of the imperial court, and this debt is secured by the sea tax, and at the same time, it can also be guaranteed by the annual royalty after the first year,......

Feng Ziying patiently introduced the first treasury bond that should be regarded as the Great Zhou Dynasty, its size, term, guarantee, issuance object, and combination method, as well as interest.

"As far as Weichen knows, it is very common for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to hide the silver in their own houses, as little as tens of thousands of taels, as much as tens of thousands or even 100,000 taels, presumably the emperor should also know some, these silver are stored underground, can not be taken out for circulation, but the silver on the market is getting less and less, resulting in more and more expensive silver, this should be the main reason why our Great Zhou Dynasty silver is expensive and cheap, in addition to opening the sea can obtain a large amount of copper from overseas, it can also attract the import of foreign silver, To a certain extent, it can alleviate the predicament of our Great Zhou Dynasty, but this is also a double-edged sword, if the input is too large, then it will also bring a lot of problems,......"

Deflation and inflation, price and value, these specific principles, Feng Ziying knows a little bit, but if you want to rise to a theoretical level at a deep level, especially in this era, it is a bit difficult.

However, Feng Ziying still tried to make Emperor Yonglong understand some of the most basic truths, that is, the benefits of liberalizing sea trade far outweigh the disadvantages, and if this kind of borrowing is used well, the same benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it only needs to be moderately controlled, and if the silver stored in the ground can be used, it will be of great benefit to the people of the imperial court.
