Chapter 259: Requests and Battles
Tian Mi raised her head, looked at the emperor, and her voice fell clearly in the main hall, "If the little girl's plan is feasible, the little girl wants to ask His Majesty to remove Master Wei from the post of the imperial account office, and ban him from touching the accounts for life." ”
When she said this, her expression was resolute, her voice was clear, and she was very serious.
The people who listened were shocked, they could not have imagined that she would make such a request in the main hall.
Why? Master Wei recommended her and supported her, and never offended her, why did she force Old Wei to such a point?
Don't say that the official doesn't understand, even the prime minister can't understand, in his opinion, Tian Mi is neither ruthless nor stupid, he really can't figure out why she would do such a thing that hurts others and herself.
The emperor smiled coldly and asked, "What kind of enmity does Master Wei have with you?" ”
"There was no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future." Tian Mi didn't have a superfluous expression on her face, and she calmly continued: "It's just that Master Wei, as the master of the world's accountants, actually said such a cruel method as raising war with war in the court, and the little girl thinks that he is no longer suitable to be a role model in this industry." ”
Is this a reason? Indeed, there is some truth to it...... The officials, who knew the seriousness of the matter, fell silent.
The emperor glanced at Master Wei, who was stiff all over his body and his face was resolute and upright, with deep thoughts in his eyes, and said, "What does Master Wei think?" ”
Master Wei glanced at the petite back, lifted his robe and knelt down, and arched his hand: "If Miss Tian really has a way, the old man is willing." ”
The hall was treacherous for a while, and the courtiers looked at this and that, their expressions secretive.
When the emperor got this from Master Wei, he said to Tian Mi: "I have accepted your request, and you should also answer my question." ”
"No." Tian Mi lowered her head, looked at the emperor with clear eyes, and said, "It's just that the little girl's next plan has certain side effects, and. The effects of this side effect can be far-reaching. ”
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Side effects?" ”
"Yes, there must be disadvantages in everything, depending on whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The little girl thinks that as long as it is operated properly and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it will have a certain feasibility. She said, "You can say that this way." There is no way out, and the only thing that the little girl can guarantee is that it will be less negative than the tax increase again. As the saying goes, the two benefits are the heavier, the two evils are the lesser, and it is lighter, so the little girl thinks it is feasible. ”
The Emperor squinted his eyes lightly, looked at her, and said, "Tell me how to do it." ”
Tian Mi lowered her head slightly, as usual, it was a clean four words. "Forge coins."
The emperor's brows furrowed for a moment, and the officials suddenly raised their heads, and the look of opposition on their faces was self-evident.
The emperor didn't give the official a chance to speak, he leaned over slightly, and there was an invisible pressure that rushed straight to Tian Mi, and asked in a deep voice: "The impact of the second emperor's counterfeiting of coins has still subsided, and what is the difference between the coinage method proposed by the girl at this time and him?" I remember that the last time I suffered from it was the girl's letter, right? ”
The emperor spoke in a deep voice. It was already a threat, but Tian Mi's face was still calm, and she said, "It's different. ”
She said as a matter of course: "The second emperor made counterfeit money, and the imperial court made real money." The two emperors used counterfeit money for personal gain, and the imperial court used real money to pay military salaries, which is naturally different. ”
When the emperor listened, his eyes looked at the ministers, and the ministers understood, so a household secretary raised his head and said, "Forgive the ministers for speaking bluntly." Whether it is counterfeit money or genuine money, as long as a large amount of currency flows into the market, it will inevitably cause money to be cheap and expensive. ”
The emperor's gaze lowered, and Tian Mi replied unmoved: "It is true that what Lord Shangshu said is the disadvantage. ”
In this way, she made the words of Tobe Shangshu her own, and then said: "However, if money and things grow together, it will be possible to make the life of the surname better and better." ”
Hubu Shangshu frowned, he didn't understand what the girl meant, he couldn't help but look back at Master Wei, Master Wei made contact with him, his face was also puzzled, he said bluntly: "Please also ask the girl to speak clearly." ”
From beginning to end, Tian Mi didn't look back, she faced the emperor, and said unhurriedly: "Whether the coinage is pros or cons, it depends on how to use it, if you put a large amount of currency into the market at once, it will naturally cause a rebound." Therefore, it is not possible to buy a large amount of supplies directly with the newly minted coins, and it is not possible to distribute the money directly to the surname. ”
She looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect to the little girl, the last time the tax was raised, there were many surnames in the state capitals in the country who were overwhelmed and abandoned their lands, and some of these people have returned to their homeland, and some are still outcast. ”
She didn't look at the ministers nodding behind her, just looked at the emperor and continued: "According to the little girl's opinion, first, the newly minted coins can buy materials in the Fang market in an appropriate amount, and can also buy materials in neighboring countries to reduce the impact on the domestic market. Second, a large amount of money can be used to build urban defense and water conservancy roads, etc., so that it can not only strengthen national defense, but also be powerful in agricultural development, and the construction of roads can also promote the opening up of regions along the region, promote economic development, and moreover, the construction of these projects also requires a large number of workers, so that the problem of displaced people is solved. ”
The best of both worlds, oh no, perfect, no, not right......
With the crisp and calm voice slowly falling, from the emperor to the official, the whole hall was full of surprise.
The methods they thought were harmful, it turned out, had so many benefits, absorbing labor, consolidating national defense, benefiting agriculture, and promoting commerce......
Tian Mi couldn't see the stunned official, but she could see the emperor with a solemn face, the emperor was sitting precariously, looking at Tian Mi with a new gaze, squinting and asking: "With such a strategy, I can't hear what's wrong, what does the girl mean by the negative impact before?" ”
Tian Mi pursed her lips, and after a while, she said, "The negative impact is...... The money invested in infrastructure construction is not the result of normal labor, but the formation of a large amount of coinage by the state, and if there is more such money, if it cannot produce a corresponding effect, it will cause the price to deviate from the value and form a bubble...... Bubbles are easy to burst, that is, the prosperity we see may be a false prosperity. ”
"That's what I'm talking about, if it's not done properly, it will have a far-reaching negative impact, and the country's economy seems to be soaring, but the quality of life of the old people has not improved." After she finished speaking, her clear eyes looked at the emperor on the seat, waiting for him to make a decision.
This is the method she said. In later generations, it was practiced that the US imperialists printed money for other countries, and other countries invested large amounts of money in infrastructure......
What she said was completely new to this era. They can't intuitively see the impact it brings, so it's inevitable that they will ignore the disadvantages and magnify the benefits, especially the emperor. Now he was eager to try, and although he did not speak, he nodded frequently.
Tian Mi sighed lightly, the lesser of two evils, compared to raising taxes, this is much better, her guilt will be reduced, besides, if she does it well. And that really helps.
The emperor looked at the ashamed and self-conscious officials, his heart was refreshed, and his face was still unfathomable, and he asked, "What do you think?" ”
The shocked officials woke up leisurely, and they looked at Tian Mi's eyes, which were very different from before, and they bowed down one by one and whispered: "The minister thinks it's very good." ”
It seems that I don't know what to say except to say yes.
The emperor pondered for a moment and asked Tian Mi, "The solution was proposed by the girl. Can the girl be sure to get it right? ”
Tian Mi leaned over and said, "The little girl must go all out." ”
She didn't do anything to guarantee it, she just said that she did her best, and the emperor didn't care, he nodded and said, "That's the case." Whether it's a national debt or a coinage, I give the girl full authority to do it. ”
After that, he looked at the official awe-inspiringly and said in a deep voice: "The official obeys the order, during the period of military supply." You need to fully cooperate with Miss Tian, and we must ensure the smooth operation of the war, and if there is anyone who drags its feet, I will not spare it! ”
The ministers bowed their heads and responded in unison: "The ministers obey orders." ”
Tian Mi felt that she had taken a hot potato, and her hand was heavy.
When she stepped out of the main hall, she looked at the white clouds flying on the golden glazed tiles, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling a great responsibility.
Cui Xiyan walked to her side, led her out, and said with a smile: "Although I know that the girl is extraordinary, I was still shocked when I heard the girl's remarks today. ”
This time Chang Tian Mi smiled bitterly, she shook her head and said nothing.
Cui Xiyan looked lightly at the ministers around who had been watching Tian Mi, and led Tian Mi away from them, and asked, "This official really doesn't understand, why did the girl make such a request to Your Majesty?" Originally, the girl's performance today is enough to be praised, but this is the only thing that may make people complain about you. ”
Cui Xiyan asked about Master Wei, Tian Mi subconsciously looked around the crowd, and saw that not far behind him, it was Master Wei and Hubu Shangshu.
In the end, the emperor obviously approved of her plan, although he did not say it explicitly, but her proposal to depose Master Wei had been acquiesced.
Master Wei was not as depressed as everyone imagined, his body was still tough, his eyes were shining, he looked at Tian Mi through the crowd, nodded at her, and was not hostile.
Tian Mi saluted him respectfully and didn't say much.
The mockers who had been following her were very puzzled by the two of them's actions, but they didn't say anything, and they had nowhere to explore.
Tian Mi felt Cui Xiyan's more and more puzzled gaze, but she only said: "The reason that the prime minister said in the palace is true." ”
As for the real reason...... Tian Mi looked at Master Wei's rigid figure and sighed lightly.
Master Wei must also know that she knows, she doesn't have a deep relationship with him, she doesn't know him very well, what she does is only what she thinks she should do, as for the rest, she won't delve too deeply.
Ah Qian once said that Ruan Tiande said that the person who did the account for him was the most powerful person in the entire Changguo, so he was so fearless.
And the person standing at the top of this line is none other than Master Wei, the royal account room.
After arriving in Kyoto, in order to correct this speculation, she tried to read the accounts made by Master Wei, and finally confirmed that it was exactly the same as the account book she had obtained.
Master Wei has no ill will towards her, and even he is kind to many people, but it is an indisputable fact that he has had.
So, she made that request on that ground.
She concealed the most discrediting false accounts for the bookkeeper.
Seeing that Tian Mi didn't plan to say it, Cui Xiyan didn't ask anymore, he smiled again: "Next, it's another busy time, is the girl ready?" ”
Tian Mi smiled lightly, the pear vortex on her cheeks loomed, and she looked at him with a smile and said, "I've been used to it for a long time." ”
Cui Xiyan laughed low and gave her a thumbs up, Tian Mi replied with a similar salute, and the two of them laughed and walked out of the palace.
Although the prime minister said that he would be busy next, the fact was that Bengen was crazy busy, right?
The time is short, there are many things to do, with Tian Mi as the center, the entire court spins like a spinning top, and night battles are common, and even the emperor can't sleep well.
I don't know if it's tired or what, the emperor's health is even worse.
Fortunately, although busy, when I see the results, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
In the end, they successfully completed their tasks within the stipulated deadline.
Tian Mi stood on the city tower again and watched the team traveling far away, this time, standing beside not only the prime minister, but also the officials who had befriended her because of their work during this time, especially the household officials.
Not far away, there were some people who came to see them off, upstairs and downstairs, standing scattered and looking forward.
Among them, several women are very eye-catching, and the middle one, Tian Mi recognized at a glance, it is Gongsun Wan, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion who almost became a good thing with Xuan Heng.
Tian Mi looked over, Gongsun seemed to feel something, and also turned to her, and at the same time, the women behind her also saw Tian Mi.
Only this time, there was no longer contempt in their eyes, but a very complicated look.
Tian Mi didn't have the leisure to analyze what was specifically contained in the complex, she just nodded politely and turned sideways.
The team with the flag gradually disappeared at the end of the sky, and Tian Mi looked at the continuous mountains and rivers, her eyes were a little confused.
Next time, it should no longer be about seeing you go away, but about welcoming you back, right?
Only the last royal city remains.
The royal city of Eastern Chu was like a giant beast covered in steel and iron mud, it lay dormant there steadily, and fought back against the invaders with the strongest force.
Not far from the royal city, there are continuous tents, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, several generals are gathered on the edge of the sand table.
The blood stains on the armor were still distinct, and one of them said a little irritably: "It's been a month, and the royal soldiers in the city, even with their surnames, are still resisting. ”
The other general sighed heavily and said, "Yes, I didn't expect this battle to be so difficult, the gang of people in Dongchu can't be called people, they are all puppets who don't want to die." ”
"It's been a month, and they can really hold on, they would rather die than surrender, those blood-red eyes are like beasts." The general who spoke crossed his arms, and the white cloth wrapped around his arms was soaked in blood.
The generals said that Cheng Wei did not participate in his bitter water battle, and he looked at the equally silent commander in silence.
Unlike the solemnity of the generals, the boss's face was still calm, and the surrounding discussions did not affect him at all, he just focused on practicing the sand table, and when the last move was stable, he raised his head. (To be continued.) )
