Zhuang Shilin said that he would invest reserves to solve the financial difficulties, and everyone frowned and looked at him puzzled. Anyone who knows the dangers of issuing additional banknotes knows that it will cause inflation and soaring prices, which is tantamount to taking property from ordinary people in disguise. The harm is worse than the harm of buying, raising taxes and selling public land, and it has always been criticized.

"The owner of the village, the harm of issuing more banknotes must be more clear than ours!" Zhuang Shilin was born as a businessman, and after entering the Marshal's Mansion, he was responsible for managing his Majesty's finances, raising grain, grass and military salaries for the Marshal's Mansion. And the status has also risen with the little emperor, and now he is not only in charge of the inner treasury, but also runs hundreds of imperial villages and post stations for His Majesty, and manages many businesses such as sea trade. Lu Xiufu thought that it was impossible for him not to understand the evil consequences of the additional issuance of banknotes, but now he let the imperial court solve the financial difficulties with this, which had to make him suspicious.

"Master Zhuang, if you have evil intentions in your heart, I will report to Your Majesty and punish him severely!" Deng Guangjian also stared at him and said sharply.

"Lu Xiang, Deng Zhongcheng, it's serious, how dare the lower officials have the intention of harming the country and misleading the king!" Zhuang Shilin saw that their attitude was stern, but he was not afraid, and said with a smile, "There is still a lot of difference between the issuance of additional banknotes and the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, and although the current return of our dynasty to Jiangnan is short, His Majesty has eliminated maladministration, implemented benevolent policies such as light taxes and thin taxes, and dictated fields, so that the people can recuperate and recuperate." Now Jiangnan has quickly recovered its vitality and restored its former prosperity, so that households have surplus grain and surplus money, instead of the time when taxes were like wool and the people had no overnight food. ”

"Lu Xiang, the additional issuance of banknotes is related to the rise and fall of the country, we must be cautious!" Liu Huang interjected at this time.

"Yes, when the new banknotes are issued, the gold, silver and silk stored in the left treasury and the inner treasury are used as the principal, and the current income has been consumed for rewarding the army and paying for expenses, which is not enough to meet the number of additional issuances. Chen Zeweng is not without worries.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, the lower officials' proposal to issue more banknotes is not unfounded!" Zhuang Shilin smiled, took a sip of tea from his cup and said, "According to the statistics of the General Division, the number of people who entered our dynasty last year has increased, and the trade volume has reached 40 million guan, of which the surplus is more than 10 million guan. This year, it is expected that the number of bitcoins in the DPRK will continue to increase significantly, and the trade volume will also increase significantly, and the transactions of the bitcoins must first be exchanged for gold and silver before they can be bought, and the goods sold are also exchanged for gold and silver after receiving paper money. ”

"Oh, I see!" Chen Zeweng listened and suddenly said, "Although the goods can be offset in the transaction, there will still be a large amount of gold and silver left in our dynasty during the exchange process, so it can be used as the principal!" ”

"What Chen Shangshu said is good, the caravan sent by His Majesty last year has found the origin of spices, and in addition to shipping them to the West for sale, some of them have also entered our dynasty for sale, which has caused the price of spices to fall. This also led to a decrease in the price of spices and a decrease in the quantity of spices that flowed into our dynasty, but they would still buy a large amount of porcelain, tea and silk to ship back to their own country, which would inevitably lead to a huge amount of gold and silver flowing into our dynasty! Zhuang Shilin said.

"Well, in this way, as long as the trade routes are unblocked, the gold and silver of the foreign domains will flow into our dynasty in a steady stream!" Lu Xiufu looked left and right, Ying Jieyan and Liu Huang were a little disbelieving.

"Exactly, but nowhere near it." Zhuang Shilin said with a smile, "Overseas merchants often exchange a large amount of paper money because they travel back and forth to our country all the year round, but when they return, they no longer exchange back gold and silver, resulting in a large amount of paper money circulating overseas. Moreover, due to the limited amount of banknotes issued by our dynasty, which is not enough to meet the needs of the exchange, the ratio of paper money to gold and silver exchange has risen, and the private market has reached one tael of silver for 900 wen banknotes, and one tael of gold can only be exchanged for about 900 or 400 wen. Therefore, the current market is suffering from the shortage of paper money. ”

"Eh, the way of the world has really changed, in the past, it was always expensive and cheap, but now it is paper that can be exchanged for real money!" Liu Huang felt incredible.

"That's exactly what the farmer said." Chen Zeweng also figured out the key words, "At present, due to the prosperity of maritime trade, many wealthy people have also joined it, so that many shipyards are rushing to work day and night, and they cannot meet the needs; Pingjiang, Hangzhou and Shaoxing alone added four to five hundred weaving farms last year, which also increased the price of silkworm cocoons and raw silk. This has also led farmers to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and the number of loom workshops, iron workshops, and wood workshops has increased, which can be said to be a prosperous industry. This also requires a large amount of banknotes for trading, and I think it is the right time to issue more banknotes! ”

"Governor Ying, Governor Liu, what do you think?" The two 'God of Wealth' both thought that the additional issuance of banknotes would not only not lead to a crisis, but also promote the development of all industries, and Lu Xiufu also swept away the previous depression and asked.

"Well, you can give it a try!" Brush your beard strictly.

"How to raise money, I don't know how to solve it, but I know that there is no way to fight without money and food, as long as I can solve the military I have no objection!" Han Zhen said with a smile.

"The imperial court has money, and it must allocate a part to us first, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain production!" Zhou Xiang said with a smile.

"The current war is urgent, and military expenses should be given priority, and the emperor can't send hungry soldiers!" Chen Renweng also said.

"The issuance of additional banknotes is a major matter, or should His Majesty be informed of the Royal Approval!" Although Liu Huang said that he wanted His Majesty's approval, no one could see that he no longer objected.

"Sheng Bo thinks that if it weren't for His Majesty's instructions, the head of the village would be able to put forward this proposal at the court meeting!" Ying Jieyan looked at Zhuang Shilin and snorted coldly.

"Hehe......" Zhuang Shilin blushed and smiled embarrassedly, but he didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Yes, no objections, everybody. I will enter the palace to ask the Queen Mother for instructions, and after the Queen Mother's approval, I can convene the ruling in Beijing to hold a court meeting, discuss the needs of various places, and then report to His Majesty's royal approval! Lu Xiufu said.

"Holding a court meeting, I'm afraid there will be another war of words, and the excerpts to impeach me and others will pile up!" Chen Renweng heard that there was still a court meeting, and he was quite depressed.

"As long as we are loyal to the country, we are not afraid of those gossips, everything must be the priority of state affairs!" Lu Xiufu's face was also gloomy when he heard this, but he turned to the right color.

"Hehe, they're already anxious at the moment, I'm afraid they don't care about me waiting!" Zhou Xiang said with a smile.

"Oh, why is that?" Everyone knows that although Zhou Xiang's background is low, he has a wide range of contacts and is the most well-informed, Chen Renweng touched him and asked curiously.

"Don't you know? The few famous scholars and Confucians in Beijing did not know who they had offended, and they were pulled out of a lot of things that damaged their reputation, which were only circulated in the streets and alleys at first, and now many tabloids have begun to publicize them one after another, telling the world about the ugly things they have done. They are now busy explaining and trying to calm public opinion, and they are already too busy to take care of themselves, where do they still have time to talk about national affairs. Besides, the people who interacted with them in the past avoided them, who would get together with them to talk, I am afraid that there is already an impeachment note sent to Deng Zhongcheng's desk! Zhou Xiang said something about what he had heard and heard.

"Well, someone reported a few celebrities for misconduct and lack of morality, and asked the court to take away their fame and severely punish them, so as to set the record straight!" Deng Guangjian nodded.

"Some so-called celebrities often use public opinion to discuss state affairs in vain with some scholars and officials in the name of social friendship, criticize the government and try to influence the imperial court. For this reason, he did not hesitate to slander the officials, and even defiled His Majesty, and he should be punished! "It should be strict and avoid anger. And although he was surprised by the sudden revelation, he then thought that it must be his good student who secretly made a move, and of course he had to cooperate.

"Yes, it has long been rumored that these people think they have a little name, and they get carried away. And some people do not hesitate to slander the government and corrupt others in order to gain fame. Now that they are ignoring the opportunity of the country's crisis, they still do not repent, and do things that are harmful to the country and the monarch, I naturally cannot tolerate and connive, once it is verified, they will be severely punished! Deng Guangjian nodded and said that he had written it down. As an orthodox scholar, he thought that he should be cautious in his words and deeds, strict with himself, rather than walking among flowers to do things that are detrimental to his personal morality in order to show his innocence.

"Then there is Lao Deng Zhongcheng, for those who sabotage the Northern Expedition, the court cannot indulge, as long as it is verified, it must be punished, and the dynasty will be corrected!" Lu Xiufu nodded, sonorously and powerfully.

"Well, these black sheep must be eliminated, so as not to tarnish the name of the scholars!" Liu Huang also said. He is also a hot-blooded person, Chunyou ten years) tried to enter Taixue. The following year, Chen Yuan, the imperial historian, falsely impeached Cheng Gongxu, and Cai Rong falsely impeached Huang Zhichun. He said bitterly, "It is bound to finally empty the country without a gentleman, and there is no justice in the court."

In the fourth year of Baoyou, Ding Daquan was a eunuch, favored by Li Zong, sent troops to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, forced Prime Minister Dong Huai to resign, Liu Huang was indignant, and Chen Yizhong, Lin Xuezu, Chen Zong, Zeng Wei, Huang Yong and others wrote to impeach Ding Daquan for treachery and misconduct, was stripped of his school status, and was detained in other states, and was called "Six Gentlemen" at the time. He hated empty talk to mislead the country, slandered the people, and framed the people, and he also expressed his resolute support for this.

After agreeing on this matter, everyone separately convened the people in charge to count the needs and prepare for the next meeting. Lu Xiufu went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager to increase the issuance of banknotes to solve financial difficulties, and he also had a deeper understanding of the little emperor's previous retention of public land, advocating industry and commerce, developing maritime trade, reducing taxes and reducing taxes, issuing banknotes and other economic matters, and also admired his foresight......
