"Yes, of course. Where there are wicked people in the world, there are good people. Xu Youzhen continued: "In the same way, there are those who take everything for granted, and there are also those who know gratitude, such as those who think that everything they get is given by the emperor, then they will be grateful." Just like the ministers who were picked up by the emperor, and like the people who are fortunate to serve the emperor every day, we all know that everything is given by the emperor, and if the emperor is not there one day, everything we have will not be there. That's why we're willing to give you everything, and whatever you make, we'll unconditionally support you to do it. Because in a sense, when we help the emperor, we are thinking about our own future. ”

As soon as he said this, the first person to react was Jin Ying, who was standing beside Zhu Qiyu.

As eunuchs, because of their own limitations, they can only rely on, and must rely on, the emperor. As long as they get the emperor's approval, they will have a good road in the future, and things will go smoothly. For example, they are a group of moths parasitic on the subject, and if they want to live comfortably, they need to be strong enough for the subject.

It is precisely because of knowing these truths that when Xu Youzhen said this, Jin Ying felt the same way and showed gratitude. This is tantamount to Xu Youzhen reminding the emperor that he is a trustworthy person, and such a minister who is willing to speak for him, of course he has to make good friends.

Zhu Qiyu is not as sympathetic as Jin Ying, but he also knows that there is indeed some truth in this. Just like what is often said in history books, once a son of heaven and a courtier, many times the relationship between a courtier and the emperor is also a cooperative relationship. Of course, there will be those who cooperate and those who do not, for example, some people are good at accidents and are very good at compiling their own net, and no matter what changes happen on it, he will stand and not fall, such a person is the most terrible and hateful, because it is impossible for him to really give his heart to any master.

When Zhu Qiyu was still thinking about the deep meaning of this remark, Jin Ying on the side knew that the time for his first knife had come, so he immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu's words are from the bottom of his heart, there are indeed many people in the court who are not strong-willed, and those people are untrustworthy." ”

Jin Ying's words completely dispelled the worries in Zhu Qiyu's heart, figured out everything, and when he looked at Xu Youzhen, he sighed with a face, "Xu Aiqing is really my humerus, and what she said hit the key point of the imperial court." ”

"The minister never dares to be, never dare to be." Xu Youzhen said again and again.

"Then according to Xu Aiqing's opinion, this bank must be in my hands? But if that's the case, who has money in it? Zhu Qiyu asked the biggest question in his heart, and it was also what he was most worried about.

Not only Zhu Qiyu, but also Jin Ying, who was kneeling on the ground this time, also raised his head and looked at Xu Youzhen. In his opinion, there are many diehards in the imperial court, and there are many people who think about themselves, if the bank is owned by the emperor privately, they will definitely want to make trouble in it, not only will they not be able to deposit silver, but they will also tell others not to deposit silver. In that case, wouldn't it be meaningless to have a bank without silver?

Finish?

Xu Youzhen, who had been prepared for this for a long time, her face remained unchanged, and her voice was still sonorous and powerful, "Your Majesty, this is not difficult to solve." As the minister just said, the emperor always thinks about the courtiers, but how many courtiers are really for the emperor? I think the establishment of this bank can be the best way to test it. ”

"How to tempt?" Zhu Qiyu asked urgently.

"Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the ministers, in the future, the courtiers' Yulu can be changed to the bank to claim it uniformly, and in order to support the bank, that is, to support the money and grain of the Northern Ming Dynasty, all the courtiers will also hand over 50% of the Yulu to the bank every month as the silver deposited. Once the day when the Northern Ming Dynasty unifies the world, all the silver deposited can be withdrawn. In this way, not only will there be more money in the bank, but it will also be related to their own interests, so that they will not be afraid that they will not have to do their best when they encounter problems. And not only the courtiers, but also the merchants who did business in the Beiming, as much as the amount of silver deposited, which can also be called a deposit, to prevent them from doing things that harm the interests of the Beiming, once discovered, the deposit of silver will be confiscated. In this way, in order to get back their silver, they must also fully cooperate with all the actions of the emperor, at that time, the hearts of the people in the world are one, why worry about not being able to do it?

Under the generous words, Xu Youzhen finally touched a pain point of Zhu Qiyu, and said loudly: "According to the minister's opinion, the bank can be named Zhujia Bank, and it will be passed on from generation to generation. ”

"Zhujia Bank, passed on to future generations, glorious forever..."Zhu Qiyu read silently in his heart, then raised his right fist high and then fell suddenly, shouting good, "Okay, Xu Aiqing's words are very agreeable, and they are actually a good policy for peace and stability. ”

"Yes, Xu Shangshu thinks so much about the emperor, he deserves to be rewarded." Jin Ying on the side began his divine mending knife. He had a feeling that once the emperor approved the establishment of the Zhu Family Bank, it was likely that this errand would eventually fall to him, and in that case, his power would be greatly increased. And all of this is Xu Youzhen's suggestion, reciprocating the peach, and at this moment he must also stand up and say something for the other party.

As soon as Jin Ying's words of praise came out, Zhu Qiyu also felt that it was right. "Okay, good, Xu Aiqing is really a good minister, that is, I immediately issued an order to make Xu Aiqing the prince and young master, and also a scholar, and a secretary of the criminal department."

This is the second product being directly named a first-class official. When he talked about these suggestions in Shicheng, Yang Chendong had asserted that Xu Youzhen would be promoted because of this, but he never thought that there would be results so quickly, and he was really promoted to a level. After the Ming Dynasty divided the north and the south, there was no cabinet for a long time, and the civil officials were at the top that were the second grade, Xu Youzhen stood out and became under one person, above ten thousand people, and now he knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Haha, Xu Aiqing, please get up, the suggestion just now is very good. But as for the issue of the courtiers, I think that only 30% of the bank is detained, and they are also doing things for me, and I have to think more about them. Zhu Qiyu said in a good mood.

"The emperor is sympathetic to his courtiers, and it should be a blessing for his courtiers. Here, on behalf of the courtiers, the ministers thank the emperor. "Xu Youzhen again

Kneeling on the ground once, a convincing look.

Zhu Qiyu who said these words laughed heartily. Then the three of them decided on the matter of the Zhu family bank together, and in the end, Zhu Qiyu really handed over the matter to Jin Ying to handle, and made it clear that if any courtier made trouble because of this matter and did not cooperate, then he would find a reason to arrest him. This is clearly not supporting their own great cause, and they have to talk irresponsible about even deducting some money, and they are willing to fight for their lives at a critical time?

And so it was settled. Xu Youzhen successfully completed the task assigned to him by Yang Chendong, and pushed the regime of Beiming to the edge of the cliff by another big step.

Speaking of which, the income of Ming Dynasty officials was not high, especially at first it was very low during the Ming Taizu period. Even after experiencing the rule of Renxuan, although Yulu has improved to a certain extent, the combination is only 30% every month. Now that all three percent of them have been withheld by Zhu Qiyu, that is to say, for ordinary courtiers, it will be difficult for them to have any savings. This involves its own problems, and naturally many people will stand up and react, but if it is not solved, they will use coercive means to press it down, which will only attract greater resistance and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Once people are dissatisfied, the behemoth of Beiming is not far away from the moment of collapse. This is Yang Chendong's trick to use a "peaceful" means to solve the Ming problem. Looking at it now, Zhu Qiyu has been tricked.

Maybe it will take some time, or maybe it will take a long time to pay off. But the first step is to go out after all, isn't it?

Xu Youzhen left and did not return to the mansion, but went directly to the Yang Family Bank in the capital to explain the meaning of the Northern Ming Emperor. Soon, the location of Zhu's Bank and the establishment of the corresponding equipment were on the right track. The next thing to consider is the edict to order Yang Chendong to be the king of Wunan.

......

On the grassland, the Security Bureau sent all the reports of Xu Youzhen, Yang Chendong was overjoyed, and the big thing was decided. The next thing is to settle the grassland.

It was October 1455. In the morning and evening, the weather began to cool down significantly, and the grasslands after the war were about to enter a period of relatively peaceful development.

The 100,000 people sent by the Red Embedded City arrived at Shajing City and Jingzhou City one after another, which greatly increased the popularity of the city, and at the same time, the expansion of the city began to speed up with the arrival of 100,000 people.

In this way, there are Mobei City in the northwest, Shajing City and Jingzhou City in the south, and it will be safer for Shicheng to be the center. This time, Yang Chendong demanded that at least one million hectares of fertile land be opened up to achieve self-sufficiency, and at the same time, they could also support the 3rd Army Division and other units that went to the Nordic steppe.

Building a city not only means possession and existence, but also how to develop this place and let the people live a richer life is Yang Chendong's ultimate goal. He firmly believes that as long as the life of the people is better, a country will become more stable and powerful, and in order to protect its hard-won victory, more people will be willing to do more for this force or country.
