Chapter 209: Be prepared and take it in stride
The matter of the Science and Technology Institute, in the double reed of Yang Reform and Xu Guangqi, has become, Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief, this matter, I can't see anything now, but in the future, it will definitely burst out from this Science and Technology Institute, and drive the progress of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Reform looked at the ministers with pride, this time, it was just a small victory for himself, but it was a big victory for the Ming Dynasty.
"That's all for this discussion, next, that Qing family, there is still something to play?" Yang reformed the establishment of a science and technology park, and he was very proud, and his voice was also pleasant.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." A minister stood up and shouted loudly.
It's so loud! Yang Gengai plucked out his ears and said, "What's the matter?" The Qing family just said. β
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the crown prince Shaobao Xu Zixian, impeached the imperial history Liu Jishan, impeached the Jinyi Wei Baihu Li Ruolian, and impeached the prince of the country, the eunuch Cheng ......" The minister's voice was loud, and the entire hall was buzzing.
Yang Reform's heart instantly became nervous, here, here! It's coming soon. This usury in the Guozi Prison is still used as a gun by people with a heart! It seems that some people want to go crazy if they want to enter the cabinet!
Yang Gengai thought of his own arrangement, and secretly proud, fortunately he had prepared in advance, fortunately he and Li Ruolian and they had a good conversation, otherwise, without his knowledge, that "person with a heart" would give him such a look, he would definitely not be able to stand it, his vote was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the network he had painstakingly managed in the past few months was afraid that it would be difficult to escape!
"This Qing family, what are you impeaching them for?" Yang Gai was distracted, and he didn't hear what this guy just said.
The ministers below were speechless by the content of this man's impeachment. When I heard the emperor ask again what the content of the impeachment was, I thought that the emperor was quite shocked! So much so that I couldn't believe that this thing was true, and I was also suppressed by the strength of this matter.
The impeached minister just now was a little proud, seeing that the emperor was frightened, he couldn't believe the expression of his ears, asked twice, and said with a little pride: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister impeached them for usury in the hall of the Guozijian, this matter is an insult to the dignity of the court, an insult to the dignity of the Guozijian, and an insult to the dignity of the world's soldiers, and has corrupted the discipline and law of the court, and please punish Your Majesty severely." β
"This Qing family, where do you occupy now? How many products? "Yang Reform really wants to see if this guy is likely to enter the cabinet in this adjustment, if it is possible, then, the person who designed to frame him, it may be him, however, it is estimated that that person will not be so stupid, and he will stand in the front desk.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is now adding the position of Imperial History of Zuo Du, and his position is the fourth grade...... "This guy is also a little strange, the emperor asked what his official position is for?" Could it be that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter and is ready to promote himself to an official? Thinking of this, this Zuo Du Yushi secretly became proud again, and his voice was much louder.
The imperial history of the left capital? What kind of official is this? Is the fourth product? It doesn't seem to be low, if you want to enter the cabinet, it seems, it's possible! Could this guy be the one who designed to frame people? Looking at the "righteousness" on this guy's face, it's not like it! Aren't all conspirators insidious and cunning? Where is he so "above board"?
ββ¦β¦ Oh, you mean, someone is lending usury in the country? And is it Master Xu, Liu Jishan, and Li Ruolian who are partners? Is it? Yang Gengai read a person's name, and felt that the anger in his heart was a little bigger, everyone was his own person who dug it out, if you were knocked over with such a pole, the emperor would become the commander of the light pole.
"Your Majesty, exactly!" This Metropolitan Inspectorate Zuo Yushi said unceremoniously, very righteous words.
"This thing? Hehe, I know, I not only know, but I also ordered it to do so...... "Yang Reform doesn't plan to play a game of cat and mouse with this person who wants to shoot behind his back, just come to the most direct one."
"Poof......
"Commanding ......"
"Ahh β¦β¦β
"Huh......"
Above the court, many people were choked by the emperor's words! Originally, this was outrageous enough to put usury in the hall of Guozijian, but now the emperor actually admitted it himself, and this was the emperor who let him do this. This...... It's outrageous! This emperor is really naughty, just now it is a matter that may involve corruption, [***], dereliction of duty, corruption of discipline, etc., quite a serious matter, was made into a joke by the emperor's words, just kidding, even if it is a usury in the lobby of the Guozijian, even if it is a usury in this Jinluan Palace, you can't care about it, because someone else is the emperor. The emperor's actions are even more outrageous than this, this is nothing at all, Wang Fa, he never cares what the emperor does.
Just now, the impeachment of the left Yushi Yushi's face quickly turned black like a piece of black charcoal, this time, he made himself completely passive, it was originally a righteous rhetoric, severely punishing the corruption of discipline, but now, it has become the emperor's own play, and he is impeaching a root hair! If you can't be impeached as an official, what is impeachment? You impeach the emperor with a hair, and then impeach, the emperor will not lose a hair, still be the emperor, the emperor's mouth into a constitution, this law is all from the emperor's mouth, you want to use the law to manage the emperor, isn't it for nothing?
Many ministers were so amused by the emperor that they almost rolled on the ground and laughed, this emperor was so cute.
Many ministers laughed and despised it, and felt that it was time to educate the emperor, the emperor should not be so playful, nor should he be so foolish, although the world belongs to your Zhu family, but it is better to pay attention to the image, although we all know that you are short of money, but you will not go to the lobby of the Guozijian to put usury, this court, this royal face, still want.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty should not be so nonsense, the Guozijian is a place to cultivate talents for the imperial court, and you can't let such a dirty and lowly thing enter the house, so, it is really unsightly, and it is also a loss of dignity of the court, and a loss of royal prestige......" This old minister began to teach the emperor bitterly.
Seeing that some people took the lead, there were also many people who felt that they were qualified to educate the emperor and came out to educate the emperor. It shows how wise he is, how pure he is.
Yang Gai despised these rhetoric, I damn it, even if I am a usury, what about it, what about blatantly, who calls me the emperor? Among you, many of you are afraid that you are also doing this business.
"Uh-huh...... Ladies and gentlemen, let me say a few words. "Yang Reform is going to have a good discussion with the ministers, this is a fact that usury is in the lobby of Guozijian, but he can't admit it, and he has to give him a good reputation.
When the ministers saw the emperor speak, they didn't speak, ready to see what the emperor had to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you really think that I am so ignorant and naΓ―ve? It's okay to run to the country to put usury? Who said this? What do you say? Is there any evidence? Yang Reform's voice is getting louder and louder, and when he quarrels, the voice is loud, and he sometimes represents the truth.
The ministers were silent and looked at the emperor quietly. Watch how the emperor went berserk.
"That Zuo Du Yushi, do you have any evidence to prove that I am a usury in the country?" Yang Reform took all the things on his own head, which made himself, the people on his side, invincible first, even if he did bad things, he was also carried by the emperor, even if the emperor did bad things, killed people and set fires, did you still overthrow the emperor? Can you still put the emperor in prison and not be imprisoned? Therefore, even if this matter is true, even if it should be severely punished, but the emperor shoulders it, there is no need to discuss this matter, because no matter how it is discussed, the result will never be what you want to impeach.
This Zuo Du Yushi has a black face, this time, I thought that there was something that I was sure of, but now it has become like this, and it has become a fight between himself and the emperor, is this tm fair? Even if he wins this time, I'm afraid that the emperor won't have a good impression of him, and I'm afraid that in a few days, I will find a reason to get that barbarian land to become an official.
"Back to Your Majesty, many of the people in the Guozi Prison have borrowed usury, and they can all testify." This Zuo Du Yushi didn't dare to shout too much, and this arrogance was suppressed by the emperor at once.
"The person who raised the prison of the country? Borrowing from loan sharks? Do you have an IOU or something? β
"Back to Your Majesty, there is no IOU...... "This Zuo Du Yushi's face is even darker, and he wants to hit his head against the wall, and the loan shark will write you a receipt or something! The IOUs and receipts are all in the hands of the loan sharks, that is to say, in the Jinyiwei hundred households Li Ruolian, who has the courage to touch the things of Jinyiwei? has always been the Minister of Brocade Guard.
"If there is no IOU or something, how can this mean that it is a loan shark? Empty words. Why do you say that someone else has borrowed usury? According to the meaning of Yang Reform, this borrowing usury must be written on the top of the IOU and receipt, so that it can be counted, otherwise, the others are not counted, it can only be regarded as a difference in interest, and the difference in interest is easy to explain, and the interest of these different lending methods must be different!
"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers have the people who have borrowed usury to testify and guarantee that this is indeed the case." Although this Zuo Du Yushi was forced by the emperor to be in a hurry, he was not wrong, and he knew what he should say and do.
ββ¦β¦ Alas......, this Qing family, in fact, I have known about borrowing usury as you are talking about, and it is not a loan shark, but just an ordinary loan, and I am also in order to raise people to go to prison without money, which is inconvenient, so in order to facilitate the lifting of people to prison, the place where this loan is handled is set up in Guozijian, which is near, and it is convenient to handle the procedures for raising the prison as soon as possible, so that it is convenient for people to enter the prison as soon as possible and improve efficiency, what is there not to ......" Yang Reform is now taking the initiative, how to say how reasonable. Of course, if you don't know that your loan shark is put in the lobby of the Guozijian, the situation is different. It's sure to be scrambling.
ββ¦β¦ But...... His Majesty ...... "This Zuo Du Yushi doesn't know what to say, he was very sure that an impeachment turned into a confrontation with the emperor, which is really no good, and the arrogance is long gone, I just want to step down decently."
ββ¦β¦ The thing is like this, this country is in prison, and many people are too far away to raise enough silver to enter the prison for a while, so they will definitely delay their imprisonment,...... Later, the country was imprisoned with an IOU, so that although it was convenient to lift people, it was good, but unfortunately, my household department refused, this country was imprisoned, to tell the truth, everyone also understood, in order to enrich the treasury, if they all made IOUs, this household still did not have a penny of silver, and the famine was coming, and the household department could not afford to wait, so the household department sued me again, saying that it could not be like this, I thought about it and decided, this matter, I have to be a peacemaker, both to relieve the suffering of people to raise prisons as soon as possible. I can't let the household department collect white slips and make the treasury empty, so there is a matter of letting Li Ruolian borrow money from them, and I also specially asked Li Ruolian to set up a money bank, and according to the rules of the money bank, I also believe in the credibility of the people, but I don't ask for collateral, and the loan time is also extremely long,...... The feedback I received was this, it was done very well, the people were imprisoned as soon as possible, and the household department received all the prison fees in full, which is beneficial to everyone, why did it become a loan shark again? This Qing family, you must have misbelieved the words of some people, thinking about a lot of people, I thought that I could use an IOU to go to prison, but now I need to borrow money to go to prison, this spent a lot of money in vain, and there must be resentment in my heart, so it's no wonder, but this borrowed money from the bank, he has to follow the rules of the bank, right? There is no collateral to borrow money, and the borrowing time is still very long, and the interest rate is a little higher, which is understandable...... Ladies and gentlemen, do you say? I am a good person at both ends, but I didn't expect that some people would hold a grudge, and it would be difficult to be a good person! Yang Reform had a very hurt expression.
The ministers below listened to the emperor's words, and they couldn't help laughing! just laughed and rolled on the ground, this emperor, and a little crooked, this usury has such a magnificent reason, saying that he is the embodiment of nobility, and that he is thinking about both ends, which can be regarded as the emperor is powerful.
Zuo Yudu's face was even darker, and he felt that this courtier must be secretly laughing at himself. I originally kicked myself, I thought that I would kick down a big man, the scenery is infinite, and I achieved my reputation as a good imperial history, but I didn't expect that this kick kicked the emperor, and I was fighting against the emperor in this Jinluan Palace, and the emperor still felt that he was wronged, and he was wronged, and there was no place to reason.
ββ¦β¦ However, Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty is for the sake of lifting people and thinking about the treasury, but ...... You can't lend money in the Guozijian in court, right? This...... It seems to be out of place! "In order to save some face, this Zuo Du Yushi has to entangle some things, anyway, Huang Yanjing is offended, and he has to occupy this truth, otherwise, if he becomes unreasonable, then he will really be a tragedy, find a step down.
"Huh...... Borrowing money on the spot, this is also a fresh idea that I came up with, and it is being piloted in this country......" Yang Gai said again.
ββ¦β¦ This one...... I feel that this should be solved in a relatively simple and safe way, taking Guozijian as an example, this thousand taels of silver, that is, dozens of catties, carrying back and forth, it is inconvenient for people not to say, the silver collected by the household department has to be transported to the household by a large car and a small car, I feel that if everyone uses silver tickets and bills, this is not much simpler? Therefore, it was only in the Guozijian that I piloted it, trying to change the large amount of silver money transactions to bill transactions, so that it is light and safe, and there is no mistake, so as to avoid the trouble of inspecting the fineness of silver. Yang Gai gave his reasons.
This time, the court is a frying pot, originally it was just about the country's supervision of usury, but now it has become a reform pilot, changing the physical object to silver bills, bills, this, the emperor's thoughts and actions, it is not big! There was no news beforehand.
The emperor's action is really a bit big, if you really use silver tickets for the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, this will have a great impact on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers have calculated the gains and losses of this matter.
The implications of this matter are too great, and many people, even after thinking about it for a long time, have not thought clearly about whether this matter is beneficial to them or whether the benefits outweigh the harms.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is too important, and it has to be considered in the long run, and it must be discussed in the long run!" An important minister took the lead and proposed to postpone the discussion of this matter, this matter is too big, so I have to go back and think about it, go back, and think about it.
Seeing that someone took the lead, others said that this matter is indeed a bit big, and there is no good idea at once, so it is inconvenient to express an opinion.
Yang reformed the central bank that wanted to engage in bill business, and even wanted to reserve some gold and silver and issue paper money, but he was forced by this incident and had to be born in advance, and he didn't arrange it well, and he heard the ministers say that he would think about it in the long run, so he followed, and said: "Well, indeed, this matter, I also feel that it is very important, so I don't plan to publicize it, and I am ready to try out the situation in Guozijian now, and then I see it, but I didn't expect it to be said by someone with a heart that I am lending usury, this, it's really hateful, hateful, this, There is a strict investigation by the department. β
Yang Reform also went down the slope, covered up this loan shark thing, and turned it into his own pilot bill. The minds of the courtiers have gone to what the emperor just said about what silver is changed to silver tickets, this matter has a great impact on themselves, whether it is in favor or against, this, you have to think carefully, and there is no mind to consider what usury the emperor put in the Guozi prison, even if the emperor really puts usury there, so what? Can you still bite the emperor twice? I don't care much about this matter.
Zuo Yudu's face has always been black, and he regrets it to death, in this matter, he was framed and used as a gun.
