Chapter 248: Holding on and not leaving, fighting a backward donkey
May 18.
Today, Yang Reform is the same as usual, he got up late, ** o'clock, he got up slowly, and he didn't need to go to court early today, so he slept more.
As usual, after eating breakfast, I slowly prepared to deal with some political affairs, and looked at today's new arrivals.
"Ome, what are the more important things today? I see you've been smiling all the time, isn't there anything to be happy about? "It is the habit of Yang Reform to give priority to some more important things and then deal with some less important things. Coming together today, Yang Gengai found that the corners of Wang Chengen's mouth were upturned, as if there was some happy event.
"Hehe, back to Your Majesty, it is indeed a happy event, last night, I got the news, Your Majesty recalled Beijing, the prince and the prince of the Gongwei Beijing Division, all the governors and governors, the chief military officer Man Gui, the general arrived, the slave maid saw that His Majesty was tired, very tired, and the palace door was also locked, so I did not disturb Your Majesty, and I specially told Your Majesty early in the morning, Your Majesty will know, and you must be happy."
After listening to what Wang Chengen said, Yang Reform almost jumped up, very happy, those who he recruited to defend the Beijing Division, the elite of the Ming Dynasty who dared to fight, finally arrived in the Beijing Division, and the power came out of the barrel of the gun, there is nothing more important than this, everyone on the earth knows it!
"Good! Good! All right! This is finally back, by the way, only Man Gui? What about Zhao Shujiao? Yang Gengai asked, this Qin Liangyu didn't ask, this Qin Liangyu can enter Beijing at the end of this year, then thank God.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Man Guiman is close to the Beijing Division, so he arrived first, General Zhao Shujiao is farther away from the Beijing Division, and he is also on the front line of the confrontation with the Eastern Prisoners in Jinzhou, handing over military affairs, I am afraid that it will take more time, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to wait a few more days......," Wang Chengen explained.
"Oh, that's it! That's good, hurry up and summon Man Gui into the palace, I'm impatient! "For Man Gui, Yang Gai dares to say that he knows the details of this person better than everyone today, and he will be right with the wild boar skin in the future, this Man Gui is a backbone!
A rare smile appeared on Yang Reform's face, this has the Ming Dynasty, there are a few troops that can fight, and his waist pole can be much harder, after that, if he wants to do something, who dares not to listen to himself? Only when you speak and do things can you be hard. Otherwise, there is no confidence! Of course, the premise is to recruit these armies under his command, feed them, and master them, and Yang Reform is not less prepared, rewarded, rewarded, paid or something, and is ready to be stingy.
"Obey the order, the slave and maid will go, but, Your Majesty, there is one more thing today, what is strange, the British Duke wants to see His Majesty, just outside the palace, but Your Majesty wants to summon you?" Wang Chengen said, when did these nobles care about the government so much?
"English duke?" Yang Gengai remembered that he had seen this guy, and it was this guy who took the lead in electing Zhang Jiude, the governor of the river, to be the deputy envoy, and this immigration matter could be regarded as reaching an agreement with all the forces in the DPRK and China, and it became a happy ending. Speaking of this person, Yang Reform has to thank him, if he also fights for this Zhengqincha, I am afraid that this Qincha will have a difficult birth.
"Do you know what's going on with him?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, the British Duke is the best among the nobles, he didn't say it, and the slave and maid are not easy to ask." Wang Chengen replied.
Yang Reform nodded, it seems that this British Duke is still quite a bull character, even Wang Chengen, the general manager of the interior, is three points shorter than him, and what he does is really different from others!
"See, summon at once." Yang Reform said, Yang Reform was still thinking about what this guy would do to see him, but no matter what kind of golden finger and what kind of prophet Yang Reform had as a traverser, he would never have thought that this guy was here to send money to himself.
…… Qianqing Palace Warm Pavilion.
"Minister British Duke Zhang Weixian knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Zhang Weixian is also old, but when he knocks, he doesn't discount it, and he doesn't give it a full set at all.
"Hehe, the British princess invites it, the British prince doesn't have to be so gifted, big companion, quickly move a seat for the British princess......" For the first person in this honor, Yang Reform also gave special treatment, after all, this guy is standing at the top of the power, and it is also appropriate to give some special treatment or something.
"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his kindness." Zhang Weixian thanked him before sitting down.
"What is the so-called matter now, British duke?" Yang Reform opened his mouth and asked, this guy's mouth is really strict! Even when Wang Chengen asked him, he refused to say, and he didn't know what it was, hoping it wasn't too troublesome.
"Your Majesty, the old minister said today, there is something to ask Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty for permission......" After Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he stood up again and offered his own music with both hands.
Yang Reform felt strange, what was the matter? It's so nerve-wracking.
Wang Chengen took the recital and held it to the emperor, and Yang Reform looked at the recital. Full of classical Chinese, I know a little bit, but when I looked at the beginning, I felt dizzy, this guy, I talked about something on the ancestor, Yang Gengai scratched his forehead, and said: "Guogong just say it directly, I don't look at this performance." "Yang Reform is a headache to see.
Zhang Weixian is now standing, organizing a speech for a long time, and feels a little embarrassed, he is just looking for the emperor to ask for money, but he can't help but speak, he is the first person in Xungui, and if he doesn't stand up and speak, isn't it useless to say that he is the first person?
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a bit abrupt, please don't be surprised." Zhang Weixian first gave the emperor a preventive shot.
"Well, Guogong is the pillar of my dynasty, if Guogong has anything to say, I can make decisions for Guogong, and I will definitely not disappoint Guogong." Yang Reform said, at the peak of the power of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been a member of the British family, if it is an ordinary matter, Yang Reform does not mind selling some face to this guy.
“…… Qi Qi Your Majesty, these days, Cheng Guogong, Dingguo Gong and many other nobles, all came to find the old ministers, all said that now our dynasty is a big disaster relief, the court money is tight, I wait as the Ming Dynasty's princes, nobles, by the grace of the Ming Dynasty, at the critical moment, we must not abandon the Ming Dynasty, willing to contribute to the court, share worries for Your Majesty, willing to save money in Your Majesty's bank, and will be eager to save money, in order to solve the urgent need of the imperial court's wealth......" Zhang Weixian was embarrassed for a while, but still said his purpose, no matter what, First of all, put many noble hats on this saving business.
Yang Gengai wondered, this sun came out of the west? Or did you sleep too hard this morning and didn't even hear the magpie call? What does this mean? Want to save money? To be honest, Yang Reform never considered that these nobles could save money. Historically, these nobles were unstoppable, Chongzhen begged his father and grandmother, but he was slapped in the face, and Yang Reform didn't want to lose that face, so he didn't have the idea of beating those nobles for the time being. Yang's plan for reform was simple, that is, to get some money from the vassal king so that he could issue paper money. After the vassal king received the first interest from himself, he didn't have to promote it himself, and at that time, others would believe that the interest was real, and they would come to his own money bank to save money.
However, it is Yang Reform's move of not asking the nobles to save money, the more the nobles feel suspicious, people are curious, the more they are not allowed to do things, the more they want to do it, and the more they exclude him, the more he thinks about all kinds of benefits.
“…… What does Guogong mean? The nobles also want to save money to my bank? "Yang Reform is like a spatula skimming foam, as soon as he pulls it, he brushes aside the foam floating on the pot of dishes, and directly reveals the true face of the pot of dishes.
“…… Returning to Your Majesty, it is precisely that the nobles heard that the imperial court was in financial difficulties and that His Majesty's internal funds were exhausted, and they all wanted to share the worries of the country and solve the problems for His Majesty. Zhang Weixian pulled the floating bubble back again to block the original face of the pot of dishes.
"Really?" Yang Gai didn't believe that there was such a good thing in this world, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: I'm a grass, are these people nervous?
"Back to Your Majesty, it's absolutely true, the old minister begs Your Majesty to be gracious, we are noble, we will definitely be eager to save money, we will not fall behind, and we should repay the grace of the Ming Dynasty......"
In fact, Yang Reform did not issue a holy decree at all, saying that only the vassal kings were allowed to save money, and he was not ready to carry out this business on a large scale, but he was waiting for the vassal kings to save money, so that they could issue paper money, and when they got interest, the matter of saving money was naturally done, but now there are people begging themselves to save money, Yang Reform will certainly not refuse, this is meat sent to the mouth, how can it be sent back? Immediately, he said, "This ,...... Well, this ......" Yang Gengai couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, and he wanted to roll around with laughter, so much so that he couldn't even say all the normal words.
"Please be gracious to Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian fought this old face, thinking that the emperor was unwilling to let the nobles save money, for fear of paying too much interest, and he couldn't make it, so he could only take out his old face and beg the emperor.
Yang Gengai burst into belly laughing, this thing is so funny to death, this thing is really tmd weird, the Ming Dynasty in history, the emperor begged you to give some money, you are all like dead people, now, I don't let you pay, you all want to die like buying a life to save money to me, it's really a group of sluts of tmd. Holding and not leaving, beating the regressing donkey.
“…… Alas...... Since this matter, Guogong pleaded so much, then I can't deny Guogong's face, then this matter ...... That's it, I just allow the nobles to save money, it's ......" Yang Gai laughed to death, these guys, their brains are funny, it was originally what I begged you, but now it has become you begging me, and I have left a big favor, think about it, it's really a strange thing.
Zhang Weixian was half happy, although the emperor agreed, but the key interest, if there was no such high interest, he would be in vain.
"Your Majesty, then the interest I am waiting for, is it the same as the princes?" Zhang Weixian asked nervously.
“…… Well, this ...... This ...... "Yang Reform is just pretending, in fact, he just rolls on the ground, Yang Reform just wants others to save money in his own bank, no matter who you are."
"The old minister implores Your Majesty to treat everyone equally, they are all contributing to the court, how can they separate relatives from the noble and the low?" What Zhang Weixian is most afraid of is that the interest given to them by the emperor is different from the interest of the princes, which has always enjoyed different treatment at different levels, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Zhang Weixian is also afraid that this interest is the same as people, and it is also divided into third-rate and ninth-rate, if you want to do that, you will pay back a little bit of your country, then the captain who waits will be miserable, and it is estimated that the interest is less than nothing.
"Hehe, since the country has made it public, then I will treat everyone equally, recognize money and not recognize people......" Yang Reform couldn't hold back his laughter, and wanted to laugh to vent himself, these nobles are in a hurry to send money to themselves, in their own banks, how much do they have to earn? I am worried about this money, now, if I want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, and I will send a big pillow, there is nothing better than this, Yang Reform has not considered the matter of repayment, that money, Yang Reform is ready to issue banknotes, with two or three times the circulation, one million taels of silver, can issue three million banknotes, and I am afraid that there will be no money to pay back? However, these guys have to be vaccinated beforehand.
"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and the minister was grateful." Zhang Weixian finally completed the task of today, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat, fortunately, the old face of his British duke still has some face in the eyes of the emperor, and finally did the matter of sharing the emperor's money.
"However, Guogong, my ugly words can be said in the front, save money, but you have to follow the rules of the money bank, save for a year, ten years, if it is not time, take it in advance, don't say that I don't give interest, you must see the agreement in advance, don't regret it when the time comes." Yang Reform began to take preventive shots.
"This old minister naturally knows that he will never regret it, and he will never regret it." Zhang Weixian, these nobles are thinking about the emperor's interest, many people's silver has been in the cellar for a hundred years, only to see mold, not to see more, put it in their own cellar to grow mold, it is better to change the cellar and have children.
"Also, this silver is deposited, and the Guogong also knows that I have recently implemented silver coins throughout the country, and after the announcement, the payment of taxes and the usual use are all silver coins, so the future must also be calculated according to the silver coins, and the money withdrawn after the date is also withdrawn from the silver coins, and this is something that the Guogong has to think about clearly." Yang Reform is another dose of preventive injection, this time, there is a fire consumption, save in one million taels of silver, at least one percent of the fire consumption, of which, there are two or three points of profit to be earned, this deal, is really cost-effective.
This time, Zhang Weixian thought about it a little more, thought about it, and finally said: "This is no problem, Your Majesty, no problem, as long as Your Majesty can guarantee that it will always be today's silver coin, there is no problem, it is this kind of silver coin that can be blown, it is the kind of silver coin that is nine silver and one bronze silver coin." Zhang Weixian was a little embarrassed, this matter, he and the emperor said too naked, Zhang Weixian discussed it yesterday, and felt that this silver coin was quite good, even if it was better than pure silver, it was not much compromised, and the silver coin of pure silver could not be blown, and it was not as good as this silver coin.
A silver coin that can be blown off? Yang Gengai had never seen the appearance of this group of guys when they were discussing things, and if they knew, they would definitely roll on the ground with laughter on the spot.
"This, no problem, can be written into the deposit certificate of deposit...... "Yang Gai agreed immediately, this, there is no problem, I can charge an extra 10% of the fire consumption."
Zhang Weixian saw that the emperor was so simple, and he wrote the treaty into the deposit receipt, and felt that this matter was safe, and his words were unfounded! Especially when dealing with the emperor who has become a constitution, you have to be cautious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian really wants to thank the emperor, what a great opportunity the emperor gave them! If it weren't for the emperor's mouth, they would never have had such a good thing.
"Is there anything else going on?" Yang Gai couldn't stop laughing, and reluctantly said to the guy who sent the money.
"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing else to do, the old minister has taken his leave...... "Zhang Weixian saw that the matter was done, he had to go home immediately, tell the nobles the news of this great news, and also move his family's silver to the bank, save money one day earlier, and live in peace one day earlier, what if the emperor saw that the nobles had saved too much money and regretted it?"
"Hehe, big companion, send the British duke." Yang Reform couldn't help it. Hehe twice.
"Slaves and maids obey orders, please do so." Wang Chengen knew the emperor's secret, knew about it, it was purely the nobles fooling around, throwing themselves into the net, sending money to the emperor, and his heart was already the same as the emperor, laughing and rolling on the ground, but Wang Chengen's cheeky kung fu was much stronger than the emperor's practice, and the smile on his face was like a flower, and he sent away the British public, and the British public saw that he could be personally sent out by the general manager of Ouchi, and felt that he had a lot of face, so he accepted it.
When the British public Zhang Weixian went away, Yang Reform really couldn't hold back, and laughed, this matter, still has this effect? It's really Coke dead.
Not long after, Wang Chengen also came back, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the emperor laughing, and he also laughed with the emperor, he didn't care about any rules, this emperor's dilemma, Wang Chengen knew best, now to encounter this kind of inexplicable thing, it can be regarded as God has eyes, Wang Chengen smiled and smiled, tears came out, this emperor, it's not easy! It looks very beautiful from the outside, but with the emperor's account book, Wang Chengen knows the emperor's difficulties, and the silver money hole can be described as shocking. Now that I have made a fuss with this group of guys who have eyes for money, the bitterness in my heart has turned into tears and flowed out.
Yang Gai laughed for a long time, his belly hurt with laughter, and then he covered his stomach and said: "Big companion, immediately send someone to inform Li Ruolian, tell him to collect the deposit with all his might, and tell Li Ruolian what I agreed with the country, let him collect the cash, write down the principal and interest with silver coins, and tell him that now except for the vassal king and the nobles, no one else is allowed to give interest." Do you understand? I understand now, some people, you don't leave, he is going backwards, the more you don't let him do it, set the threshold, the more he wants to do it, the more he wants to come in, let Li Ruolian deposit according to the title of depositor, not a vassal king, not a noble, no title, no title, no deposit, no interest if you save money, hehe, I want to see those hundred officials, how to ask me when the time comes...... Hahaha...... "Yang Reform has now seen through the faces of those ruling classes, insatiable and stupid. Yang Reform is ready to see how blind the officials will be when the nobles save money in a big way.
Wang Chengen had already wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "The slave obeys the order, so let's go." Wang Chengen couldn't stop laughing, if it wasn't for the emperor asking him to do something, I'm afraid he would be able to laugh for a few days.
