Mao Ji and Jiang Mian have obviously made up their minds, and they don't listen to anyone's dissuasion, including Fei Hong, the first assistant to the cabinet. Xu Jin came to visit the two pavilion elders under the instruction of Emperor Jiajing, but he was closed to Mao Ji, Jiang Mian was a lot more polite, not only met with Xu Jin, but the two also chatted for a long time, but in the end they did not change their minds to resign.

It is no wonder that Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, and Jiang Mian are all cabinet ministers of the Zhengde Dynasty, it can be said that Emperor Jiajing is the one who single-handedly took the throne, but due to the dispute over the Great Rites, the differences between their monarchs and ministers are getting bigger and bigger, Zhu Houxi feels that he takes it for granted to respect his biological father, while Mao Ji Jiang Mian and others think that Zhu Houxi has exceeded the courtesy, and it is becoming more and more excessive, and finally forced the Empress Dowager Zhang to death.

Mao Ji and Jiang Mian will inevitably feel ashamed of Xiaozong and Wuzong, it can be said that they are now completely dead to Emperor Jiajing, and the so-called mourning is greater than heart death, so they don't want to continue to assist Emperor Jiajing, it is estimated that in their minds, Emperor Jiajing is no longer worthy of their assistance, so they resolutely return to their hometown.

After Xu Jin chatted with Jiang Mian, he knew that it was irretrievable, so he could only report to Zhu Houxi truthfully, who was silent for a long time after listening to Xu Jin's return. Xu Jin could see that this kid was depressed and annoyed, and the whole person was unhappy, obviously suffering a critical hit.

Xu Jin did not comfort him, whether it is the emperor or an ordinary person, stumbling in this life is inevitable, everyone will face setbacks, and the emperor is no exception, only after experiencing setbacks will he know how to think about gains and losses, and will gradually grow up and mature in a long way.

Ten days later, the end of the funeral, the body of the Empress Dowager Cishou was funeral, and Zhu Youzhu of filial piety was buried in Tailing, nicknamed: Xiaokang Jingsu Zhuang Cizhe Yi Yi Tianzan Shengjing Empress.

After the burial of the Empress Dowager Zhang, it was already the sixth day of the seventh month, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji continued to say that they were sick, and they wrote to resign again, this time Emperor Jiajing was also happy, approved the resignation of the two elders, and rewarded the two, and also sealed the false title and sent the two home to retire.

Zhu Houxi, this kid has obviously figured it out, as the so-called judgment is constantly suffering, since Jiang Mian and Mao Ji can no longer be used for themselves, it is not interesting to continue to force them to stay, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, anyway, now that the country is stable, it is enough to replace someone else in the position.

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji left their posts, and the situation was embarrassing, and only Fei Hong, the only cabinet minister, was left. Fei Ge is also nearly sixty years old, and his energy is limited, so he can be busy, working overtime every day, but he still leaves a lot of work behind, so the top priority is to replenish the cabinet ministers as soon as possible, otherwise many government affairs will be delayed.

As a result, whether it is the nouveau riche, the protector, or the neutral faction, they all set their sights on the cabinet, and the qualified ministers moved when they heard the news, and the unqualified ones were also gearing up, ready to nominate ministers who were beneficial to them to the cabinet.

In addition, due to Shi Jue's resignation, the positions of the Hanlin Bachelor and the Left-Attendant of the Ministry of Rites were also vacant, so in addition to supplementing the ministers, a new Bachelor of the Hanlin and the Left-Attendant of the Ministry of Rites had to be elected.

As the saying goes, a radish is a pit, and now there are several big radishes missing, how many radishes do you have to move to fill it? Therefore, a personnel transfer that shook the entire Ming officialdom was inevitable, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's decree to fill the vacancy, including Xu Jin.

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Jiajing, the early dynasty, the ministers seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, whether it was the upstart faction or the protector faction, they all went out step by step, there was no accusation of attack, no impeachment and abuse, so an early dynasty only lasted half an hour and ended, and the wind and waves were so calm that Zhu Houxi's kid felt uncomfortable.

However, the officials are all clear-minded, this is just the calm before the storm, everyone is recuperating and waiting for the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty will be held in the Wenhua Palace, and the court will push the cabinet ministers, as well as the candidates of the Hanlin Bachelor, so the real dragon and tiger fight will be in the Wu Dynasty.

After the early dynasty, the court officials all returned to their respective official offices with their own thoughts, and Xu Jin also returned to work in the official office of the household department, and he was busy opening the Daming Silver Account recently. The specific plan has come out, and it has passed the internal demonstration of the household department, and Qin Jin, the secretary of the household department, also nodded and agreed, and it will be discussed at the court meeting, and the plan will be implemented after it is passed.

The plan designed by Xu Jin draws on the experience of later generations of banks, and to put it simply, it is a combination of state-owned silver and private banks, with Daming silver as the central bank, and local consortia can open private banks after obtaining the permission of the imperial court. Private banks must pay deposit reserves to Daming Yinhao, go up to the state, and accept the leadership and supervision of Daming Yinhao.

Opening a bank is undoubtedly a very profitable business, but the initial investment is very huge, not to mention anything else, just to build a network covering the entire Ming Dynasty will cost quite terrifying manpower and material resources, and let the local consortium join can solve this problem well.

First of all, the participation of local consortia can make the interests equal, and there will naturally be much less resistance.

Secondly, the participation of local consortia can save a lot of input costs, including labor costs, time costs, and transportation costs.

Thirdly, the participation of local consortia can fully mobilize the idle money of society, activate the national economy, increase the country's tax revenue, and free the central bank from specific business activities to focus only on managing the financial market.

Of course, not all local consortia can be mixed with the opening of the silver number, according to the conditions set by Xu Jin, the amount of funds must reach the million level to be eligible to apply to the imperial court, but also have to pass the layers of audit, qualified to issue a "license", now the private silver number is only four, namely: Jin Shang Yin, Hui Shang Yin, Min Shang Yin, Yue (Yue) Shang Yin.

Let's say that after Xu Jin finished eating in the afternoon, he was planning to take a break in the official office for a while, and then participate in the next afternoon court, but just lying on the desk, Qin Jin, the head of the household, actually paced in.

"Lord Xu, is it convenient to chat?" Qin Jin paced in and said bluntly.

Qin Jin has never been smiling, every time he enters Xu Jin's office, it is because of official business, and it is estimated that the private communication is not enough to add up to ten sentences, and it is the first time that he has come here after lunch like now.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Of course it's convenient, Lord Qin, please take a seat." ”

The two leaders of the household department sat down next to the coffee table, Xu Jin asked the little official to bring a pot of boiling water to prepare to make tea, and asked casually: "What kind of tea does Lord Qin like to drink?" Tiger Hill Tea? Biluochun? Or is it a small black tea? ”

"This ...... Guests are as they please! Qin Jin was obviously a little preoccupied.

Xu Jin made a pot of Biluochun, at noon, this tea is refreshing!

Biluochun is soaked in boiling water and stretches out, the fragrance is fragrant, the leaf color is green and pleasant, it is the best to soak in the glass, it is both beautiful and smelly.

Qin Jin picked up the cup of Biluochun and took a sip, and suddenly frowned bitterly, Xu Jin put a little too much tea, and the water temperature was high when making tea, and the tea soup was too old, but the strong tea was more refreshing!

"The noon dynasty is going to be pushed later, who does Lord Xu think is more suitable to enter the cabinet?" Qin Jin glanced at Xu Jin and said.

Although Xu Jin is only the left servant of the household department, there are still a lot of people in the court who are higher than his official position, but no one dares to underestimate it, Xu Jin's opinion has a great influence on Emperor Jiajing, so his vote is very important, Qin Jin is a protector, at this time it is obviously testing Xu Jin's tone.

Xu Jin was also straightforward, and said bluntly: "This official intends to recommend Yang Yiqing, the former trilateral commander-in-chief, to join the cabinet as an auxiliary minister. ”

Qin Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although Yang Yiqing is not a protector faction, but he is not an upstart faction, and this person is upright and respectful, with him in the cabinet, he can check and balance Zhang Xuan's upstart faction, so he nodded and said: "Yang Laode is highly respected, and he is indeed the best candidate for cabinet ministers, but this time at least two cabinet ministers are promoted, is there any other candidate in Lord Xu's mind?" ”

It is said that Xu Jin has been returning to Beijing from Jiangnan for more than half a month, and he has been alert to Zhang Zhang's continuous exclusion of dissidents and the placement of cronies in the past six months.

In fact, Xu Jin still has a suitable candidate for a cabinet minister in his heart, that is, Lao Wang Wang Shouren, but a few days ago, Xie San, his brother-in-law who had been studying art with Wang Shouren for three years, returned to Beijing with gun skills, saying that his master had been in poor health recently, so Xu Jin dispelled the idea of recommending Lao Wang to the cabinet.

"Does Lord Qin have a suitable candidate?" Xu Jin asked quietly and rhetorically.

Qin Jin pondered for a moment and said, "What does Lord Xu think of Xie Qian and Xie Ge?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, Old Man Xie must be a Protector Sect, before in Yuyao County, he almost fell in love with this old fox, but Xie Qian is nearly eighty years old, can this old thing still be moved? Even if Xie Qianren is not old-hearted, Zhu Houxi's kid probably won't be willing to transfer a diehard member of the Rite Protector faction back to his side to add blockage, right?

When Qin Jin saw Xu Jin's expression, he knew that Xie Qian was hopeless, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, except for Xie Qian, there was really no one in the Guardian Sect camp who was qualified enough to enter the cabinet.

"Lord Xu, there are some things that this official doesn't know whether to say here!" Qin Jin wanted to speak.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, usually the person who said this sentence must have to say it, but he wanted to say this, kick the ball to the other party, and the other party is not easy to refuse, fuck!

"Lord Qin, please speak!" Xu Jin could only pinch his nose and respond.

Qin Jin coughed lightly and said: "That official said bluntly, Zhang Xuan is not right, and during the days when Lord Xu returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he unscrupulously excluded dissidents and installed cronies in the court. Now only Lord Xu can balance him in the court, if this fang continues to sit big, I am afraid it will not be my blessing to be Ming. ”

Xu Jin quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and did not answer Qin Jin, don't get along with others, Xu Jin asked himself if he didn't talk to Qin Jin without having anything to talk about.

Qin Jin obviously understood this, but today he said this, the purpose has been achieved, as for Xu Jin not answering, he is not surprised at all, after all, everyone has no friendship.

"This official won't disturb Lord Xu's rest!" Qin Jin arched his hand, stood up and walked out of Xu Jin's office.
