Chapter 1563: Epilogue
After this news spread, Xu Jie and Gao Gong didn't understand what Luo Xin was going to do at this time, they were stupid.
Luo Xin wants to change the monetary system and increase the number of silver coins.
Xu Jie's eyes immediately showed a look of fear, and Luo Xin must not be allowed to increase the silver coins. At this time, Xu Jie didn't care about staying at home with his demeanor, and hurriedly returned to the cabinet. The news of Xu Jie's return to the cabinet soon let everyone know, Zhang Juzheng came to Xu Jie's room, and Xu Jie asked in a condensed voice:
"Taiyue, do you know anything about silver coins?"
"I don't know!" Zhang Juzheng said: "Now this silver coin is also our guess, and Luo Xin has never admitted it." ”
"Stepping on ......"
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a voice rang out.
"Meet the Elder Gao Ge."
"The high arch is back too!" Zhang Juzheng said in a low voice.
"The old man is back, will he come back?" Xu Jie said lightly: "You go and call Luo Xin." ”
"Yes."
Soon, Luo Xin pushed the door and walked in, and said according to the rules: "I've seen Lord Xu." ”
"Sit." Xu Jie said lightly.
"No need." Luo Xin's expression was also indifferent: "I still have something to do, what does Lord Xu command?" ”
Xu Jie's expression froze for a moment, and then he regained his composure. The contradiction between him and Luo Xin has long been mentally prepared for Luo Xin not to give him face.
"Lord Luo, what do you want to do when you set up a financial management department, as well as mobilize the army and a group of craftsmen?"
"Secret!" Luo Xin said calmly.
"Secret?" Xu Jie was so angry that his beard curled up and said, "I am the first assistant of the cabinet, what secrets can Daming hide from me?" ”
"You can ask Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty is willing to tell you, it will naturally not be a secret to you. But now there is no will of His Majesty, and this is the secret. ”
"You...... Okay, I'll go and ask Your Majesty. Speaking of this, Xu Jie smiled coldly and said: "Luo Xin, don't be complacent, you can't be a secret, you can guess it, it's just an increase in silver coins." ”
Luo Xin's face did not change in the slightest, he just looked at Xu Jie calmly and said, "Lord Xu, the lower official has taken his leave." ”
When he came out of Xu Jie's room, he saw Gao Gong standing on the steps at the door of his room, waving to Luo Xin, and Luo Xin came to Gao Gong and saluted:
"I've seen Master Gao."
Gao Gong smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”
watched Xu Jie leave the room and walk towards the palace. Luo Xin and Gao Gong looked at each other and smiled, entered Gao Gong's room, and after sitting down, Gao Gong asked:
"Just Xu Jie's looking for you?"
"Ask me what I want to do when I set up the Treasury Department, and also mobilize the army and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry? I told him it was a secret. ”
"Hahaha......" Gao Gong laughed when he heard this, "You won't say the same to me, right?" ”
"Of course not, it's no secret, it's just a delay for a while."
"You!" Gao Gong nodded Luo Xin a few times and said, "Talk to me." ”
Luo Xin said about reforming the monetary system and increasing silver coins, and Gao Gong frowned slightly and said:
"Da Ming doesn't have much silver, have you considered it?"
"There are very few sources of silver in the Ming Dynasty, which is the reason why silver is not in circulation. But this is no longer a problem, and there is a huge inflow of silver every month in the city. The problem now is to ensure that the monetary reform proceeds smoothly. ”
"What do you need the old man to do?"
"It's simple, it's our turn to fight back......"
Twilight.
One by one, the officials walked towards their own mansions, but everyone's faces showed excitement. The officials of the Xu Party, the Gao Party, and the Luo Party were all excited because they all received orders.
Xu Jie went to see Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing did not hide Xu Jie, but just told Xu Jie that he didn't know the details, but only knew a rough idea. Therefore, Xu Jie summoned Ge Shouli, Wang Guoguang, Zhao Zhenji and others, and then ordered them layer by layer to impeach Luo Xin and change the monetary system without authorization, which was bound to cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty and shake the country.
However, now Ma Fang led the officials of the Ministry to investigate tightly, and these officials did not dare to write a chapter during their working hours, except for those imperial envoys. Therefore, they all hurried back to their homes, ready to write an impeachment note, and did a big job.
And Gao Gong and Luo Xin are also arranged, and they are also ready to impeach Xu Jie in all directions.
Day 2.
Morning.
Sure enough, the impeachment of the three parties was like snowflakes, giving Emperor Longqing the feeling that he was about to be drowned by the impeachment recital. And in the early court, everyone completely tore their faces and scolded each other.
As time passed, the power of Luo Xin's side finally exploded.
Luo Xin's people didn't participate before, in fact, Luo Xin didn't have much strength in the capital, and his strength was all in the place. So the high arch fell downwind. However, this time Luo Xin's power completely exploded. A few days later, the south, north, and 613 provinces successively sent a large number of impeachment notes against Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's first time began to fall behind.
The Ming Dynasty entered the era of quarrels, and every day in the court was a quarrel, and Emperor Longqing was not a saint, just watching everyone quarrel, and time was spent in this kind of quarrel. At the same time, under the control of Gao Gong and Ma Fang, the officials inspected the six ministries and two courtyards every day, and the assessment was more severe.
The cabinet is already in a state of fragmentation, and everyone knows in their hearts that this is a decisive battle, and it will not end without a winner.
Xu Jie began to be anxious, and all the impeachments against him were real hammers, and they spread out one by one, killing his mentor Xia Yan, flattering the first emperor, and misappropriating disaster relief funds, causing the world to be in flames, and the Xu family's rampant and domineering in Songjiang, etc., etc.
Even in the teahouses and restaurants in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, countless storytellers compiled Xu Jie's bad things into commentaries, and for a while, Xu Jie's reputation was ruined.
However, Xu Jie could only quarrel and impeach, and there was no way to block Luo Xin's monetary reform. Because of the imperial village outside the city, he couldn't enter it at all. Moreover, Emperor Longqing indicated that the matter of currency reform would be handled by Luo Xin alone.
In this way, three months later, Luo Xin announced the beginning of the currency reform, and silver coins began to appear.
Although silver was not in circulation before the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty recognized the value of silver as much as they recognized the value of gold. It's not a treasure note, it's just a piece of paper. Silver has real value. Therefore, as soon as the imperial court withdrew from the silver coin, it was immediately recognized by the government and the opposition. The problem of money shortage is solved. As soon as the problem of money shortage was solved, a whip went on unstoppably.
Xufu.
Den.
Zhang Juzheng stood opposite Xu Jie, and said softly: "Teacher, Your Majesty summoned me into the palace today, and asked me to persuade you to resign." ”
Xu Jie sat there motionless, like a statue.
