"The grass people obey." Jia Huan bowed down to the Yongzhi Son of Heaven and replied loudly without hesitation.

This confident gesture, in the eyes of the ministers of Wuying Palace, seventy or eighty people, is the proper meaning of the question! Otherwise, Wei Shangshu dares to shamelessly praise and elevate Jia Huan?

Jia Huan said loudly: "Rare things are expensive. The situation where silver is expensive and valley is cheap, if there are no specific factors involved, indicates that there is less money circulating in the market. Therefore, the solution is to ask the imperial court to mint a large number of silver coins for circulation. ”

As mentioned above, since the Ming Dynasty, overseas silver has been imported in large quantities. The society of the national dynasty is already the silver standard. Therefore, if Jia Huan wants to unify the weights and measures of money, he can and must choose to mint silver coins. This is respect for objective laws.

In the Hanlin phalanx, not far from the throne, Fei Zhuangyuan groaned and asked puzzledly, "In this way, the problem of Yingui Gu can be solved." ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said confidently: "This is just the first step in my entire plan!" It doesn't solve the problem at the root of the problem, but it can alleviate the problem of silver expensive. ”

To put it bluntly, it is printing money, and money is not worth much. A large number of silver coins are made for circulation and supply to the market, which can create an economic phenomenon similar to mild inflation. Raising food prices. Thus protecting farmers.

In the Wuying Palace, many ministers nodded their heads and had some experience. Over the years, overseas silver has been imported, and in the 7th year of Yongzhi, five coins of silver and one stone of rice, and now it has eight coins of silver and one stone of rice.

Wei Hanlin opened his mouth, cheered Jia Huan, and asked: "Yang Shilang of the Ministry of Finance said that the casting process is not a problem, but the difficulty lies in how to circulate coins in the world. How can this problem be solved? ”

Jia Huan turned around, turned his back to the Son of Heaven, looked at Wei Hanlin in the phalanx of the outer courts, bowed his hand, and said: "Silver coin minting, pricing, and circulation, when the money law is determined, it is clearly announced to the world." At the same time, the imperial court should take the lead in using it and set an example. For example, if you set taxes, only silver coins will be collected. All expenses and expenses of the imperial court were paid in silver coins; It can also be stipulated that the ticket number and money bank in various places must be redeemed for silver coins. In this way, five to ten years, and can be circulated throughout the country. ”

It is even possible to set up a central bank to coordinate all the "financial institutions" to do something.

However, Jia Huan did not say this plan. When it comes to monetary policy and the financial system, it is not clear in a few words. The ministers and emperors in the Wuying Palace all used him as a staff member and asked questions. But he didn't come into the Wuying Hall today to be a senior counselor!

He wants to change the situation of him being imprisoned in the prison, he wants to stabilize the basic plate of Jiafu, and he wants to avenge Prince Jia! Instead, dwelling on technical issues.

Priorities must be clearly distinguished.

…

…

Jia Huan's conditioning was clear and gave a solution. The Yongzhi Emperor on the throne couldn't help but nod slightly.

Bai Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, frowned slightly.

Shanxi Daoist Daoist Yu Shi Dai Cong came out of the ranks, sneered and asked: "Jia Huan, you said it, but you still didn't get to the point. The people are in debt every year, how can the family have silver coins to pay to the government? ”

Therefore, Wei Hanlin is his own person. He is cheering for Jia Huan. And Dai Yushi directly found fault and secretly changed the concept. How to increase peasants' incomes is another question, right? How to fix it? It has always been a light burden and a recuperation of the people's strength.

Jia Huan didn't pause at all, and said directly: "It's very simple." The imperial court shall, in accordance with the specific conditions of each prefecture and county, uniformly set the minimum grain purchase price, which shall be implemented by the household department. Protect the interests of farmers. At the same time, the imperial court should buy from the people in silver dollars, so as to ensure that the people can have silver dollars in their hands to pay taxes. ”

Jia Huan did not hesitate to make a big move: the policy of minimum purchase price of grain, which was common in later generations. We should make use of the state's administrative and financial resources to carry out macroeconomic regulation and control and protect the interests of yeoman farmers and small landlords.

Food, in what era, is a strategic material. Think about how many uprisings, chaos, all happened because they couldn't survive and didn't have anything to eat? Too much, too much.

Therefore, all dynasties have attached great importance to grain reserves. Guangjian Guancang: Actively reserve grain, such as: Taicang, Changping, Guangji, Huimin Warehouse. Special officials have also been set up to be responsible for the management of official warehouses and for the collection, cashiering, and collection of grain.

There has always been a system for purchasing and storing grain, but there has never been a system for formulating a minimum grain purchase price during the summer and autumn harvests.

Jia Huan's voice landed, and a gentle inhalation sound sounded in the Wuying Palace! The courtiers were free to accommodate. The reaction is fast, and he naturally understands the strength of Jia Huan's method. The slow reaction is thinking, how many wealthy families will Jia Huan offend because of this sentence?

This is instigating the court to snatch food from the tiger's mouth! Food has always been a weapon for wealthy families to exploit small people. Disaster years are all times for windfalls! Buy land, buy the sons and daughters of small people.

A waiter reprimanded with an angry face: "Huangkou Xiaoer, what nonsense! The household department buys grain at a higher price, and there are so many state capitals in the world, I am afraid that the country's family will accompany it! What's your bad idea? ”

Lu Shilang, the left attendant of the military department, said: "Ma Shilang is reasonable. Year after year, how does the state withstand such attrition? ”

The king of Nan'an County jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, Jia Huan deceived the world and stole the world, and his name is not worthy of his name." Wei Shangshu, who lost money, still has to be touted. Waste of time. Please ask Your Majesty to kill this son, to set a positive record, to set an example! ”

Then, several ministers came out of the ranks, counting Jia Huan, "Invite fame with false words, why don't you get out?" ”

…

…

Outside the Wuying Palace, Gonggong Liu was in the gorgeous corridor. The captain of the brocade guard who was waiting outside the door did not chase him.

Gonggong Liu's status in the palace is still very high. The fourth-ranked eunuch. Only Xu Yan, the chief eunuch next to the Son of Heaven, is in charge of the palace in Daming Palace, and Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces.

Gonggong Liu listened to the movement in the Wuying Palace, and he couldn't hear it clearly in detail, but he could hear the voice of reprimanding Jia Huan in the hall. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Jia Huan, the young man is ambitious, but he is still a little restless!

In the Wuying Palace, in the official saliva array, Zhu Hongfei couldn't help but be anxious. He was not tall and dark. His face was full of anxiety. How did it come to this? Didn't Jia Huan think it through in advance? How long can the imperial court finance pay for grain purchases, and with the large territory of the country, how long can it be supported?

Wei Hanlin's temperament was calmer, but he couldn't help frowning. The situation is very unfavorable to Jia Huan. What the hell?

King Beijing, lowered his eyelids, and sighed softly in his heart. The temple is full of old foxes. If you are not careful, it is easy to get caught and hurt your feet. Did Jia Huan provoke Dai Cong and cause something to go wrong?

Several ministers attacked Jia Huan in a row, as if setting off a small climax, and opinions prevailed. Seeing that Jia Huan's plan was about to be rejected. Even the Yongzhi Emperor of Goza Mountain couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

After all, if we can solve the problem of "silver and valley cheapness", we will definitely go down in history. ”

However, Tobe Shangshu Weihong was not impatient and smiled.

…

…

After Bai Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, "made a final decision": "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jia Huan's method is not enough. The whole article is agitated with false words, but not practical. Solving one problem leads to more problems. I ask Your Majesty to dismiss this person. ”

After a series of attacks, Jia Huan couldn't find a chance to fight back, and at this time, taking advantage of the short silence, he asked righteously: "Have all the sage books of the princes read the dogs?" You know, ruling for the people! ”

"Wow!" There was an uproar in the Wuying Palace. Jia Huan's painting style today is very upright! After scolding the king of Nan'an County, the group mocked the princes of the temple. The so-called ruling means, of course, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and important ministers such as scholars.

"Brush", "brush", many eyes fell on Jia Huan. It stabbed Jia Huan's body like a knife and put pressure on him.

But Jia Huan didn't pay attention to it, turned to face the Son of Heaven, bowed, and said: "The grass people have a way to solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury caused by the purchase of grain. The new policy implemented by He Xiang listed the taxation of more than 20 kinds of commodities such as East Pearl, South Pearl, North Pearl, ivory, spices, jadeite, and precious stones. Ten taxes and one are stipulated.

I beg your Majesty to add to this: tea, wine, alum, raw silk, silk, cotton, porcelain, copper and ironware, sugar, and other goods. Make up for losses. In this way, the problem of silver and valley can be solved perfectly. ”

He University's implementation of commercial taxation took a step back because the political situation at that time was not good. The goods he imposed heavy taxes were all luxury goods, and most of them were imported from overseas. For example: spices, jadeite, has been a variety of rare treasures.

But even so, it still aroused the dissatisfaction of the elite.

Jia Huan's requirements now go further, involving not only the import and export trade commodities of the city, but also the commodities circulating in China, such as porcelain, tea, sugar, ironware, etc. Judging from the experience of the Song Dynasty, increasing the commercial tax can indeed make up for the deficit caused by the difference in grain prices.

However, Jia Huan's proposal is like stabbing a hornet's nest!

In an instant, the atmosphere of the Wuying Hall became boiling, like an erupting volcano, and the torrent was surging.

"No!"

"Nonsense."

"Jia Huan, talking nonsense, causing trouble to the country, his crime should be beheaded."

"Ignorance. The increase in commercial taxes must not be passed on to the people in the end. Jia Huan, who has not experienced the prefecture and county, suddenly occupies the official position of the fifth grade, and what he talks about is completely in the air. The minister thinks he won't take it! ”

One by one, the ministers spoke up. Outraged. The reason is, of course, that Jia Huan touched their fundamental interests. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, who is the breeze with two sleeves? Who has no one in the house to do business? Especially when it comes to the highly lucrative maritime trade: silk, porcelain, tea, etc.

Jia Huan turned into a rat, a harmful spirit, and a monster that everyone shouted at in an instant. One by one, the ministers came out and pleaded with the Son of Yongzhi, demanding that Jia Huan be killed to thank the people of the world. The wind is high and the waves are fast! In such huge waves and torrents, the voices of Zhu Hongfei, Yu Wenrui, Wei Hanlin, Fei Zhuangyuan, Beijing Wang and others defending Jia Huan were completely drowned!

In the end, Song Pu, the secretary of the ministry, came out, and he was the real final word. At this moment, He Shuo has lost everything, and the ministers in the Wuying Palace have the highest status as Song Tianguan.

Song Pu's expression was firm, and his words were categorical, "Your Majesty, how can the world be in chaos because of the benefits of one law?" Jia Huan is not ashamed to speak and flatter the king. The minister asked His Majesty to behead this son to warn those who came after. ”

Yongzhi Tianzi glanced at Jia Huan. The scales in his heart have been biased towards Song Pu. This knife goes down, and it's a hundred. He looked at Jia Huan a little annoyed.

At this time, Jia Huan suddenly took two steps forward, knelt down, and shouted, "Your Majesty, King Jin has a party!" ”

Then, the speed of the report said: "The Jin Wangfu specializes in Shu tea." The world knows it. Today, the Manchu ministers defend it. No tax can be added. Jin Yiwei commanded Mao Kun to collude with the King of Jin and deceive Shengming. Liu Gonggong, the eunuch of the dining room, had a close relationship with the King of Jin, and the people in Beijing were known as the masterminds of the King of Jin.

Prince Shun and the King of Nan'an County are their wings, and Bai Shangshu and Song Shangshu are their minions. The minister is a lackey. The grass people risked death to hear Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”

In an instant, in the Wuying Palace, there was silence. It was as if the crowd was surging just now, and it was just illusory. All of them held their breath. Including Dai Cong, who danced more happily just now, Nan'an Junwang, Bai Zhang and others.

It's true, dead quiet! The four words Jia Huan said are too heavy: King Jin has a party!
