Chapter 485: Supreme Glory
Since Tongzhou Wang Yue's conversation, even people who don't have long brains have understood that this is an ordinary parade, which is simply to set up a monument to the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and even interpret the history of thousands of years.
No one could have predicted what Wang Yue wanted to do, but there was no doubt that this must be a feat that would make everyone jaw-dropping, and the whole world would change for it.
"Wang Yue, this person is really impressive!"
Gui Cao, who is a heavenly official, let out such an exclamation.
And across from him, a middle-aged scribe stood bowing down, this person's surname was Yang!
The most honorable surname in the Ming Dynasty is naturally Zhu, and the Xu family, which is a double prince, is also very famous, and is even respected as the second family in the world.
But if it is really discussed, the surname Yang, in the Ming Dynasty, is absolutely unusual, and even makes people tremble...... Starting from the three Yangs of the Yongle Dynasty, in the ranks of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no shortage of people with the surname Yang, and among the recent ministers, there are Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and others.
Although they are not a family at all, and even rival enemies, it is undeniable that the surname Yang is not easy to mess with!
"Tianguan, Wang Yue is certainly good, but I am afraid that the one who can really call the shots is still the Son of Heaven!"
Gui Cao smiled, "Wang Yue is good at planning, Your Majesty can break it...... Their monarchs and ministers are perfectly matched, cooperate tacitly, and no matter what, they are invincible. No matter what they do this time, they will definitely succeed. ”
Gui Cao didn't say anything further, but the meaning couldn't be clearer, as a powerful celestial official, there was no need to take risks for others. As long as he follows behind the Son of Heaven and shouts, he can get his share, so any plan to buy him is a dream.
The scribe surnamed Yang smiled slightly, "Lord Tianguan is a mirror, and everyone in our Ming Dynasty has it." But there are not many people who dare to deceive the king. Yang Ting and these people are finished, and no one will go against His Majesty. On the contrary, the big guys want to scramble, honor Your Majesty, and be a good loyal minister and filial son! ”
Gui Cao smiled, "Since you plan to do so, it would be better." Wouldn't it be beautiful to save everyone trouble? ”
The scribe surnamed Yang smiled, "Lord Tianguan, our filial piety to Your Majesty's heart can be seen every day, and there is absolutely no fake." It's just that we're in a bit of a hurry now! ”
"In a hurry? What's the hurry? Gui Cao was puzzled.
"We are anxious, the auxiliary ministers are incompetent! Lord Tianguan, there are many ways to fill the treasury and increase the annual income, but Zhang Shoufu is clear-minded, and Wang Yue is those two brushes, either robbing the outside world, or tinkering with some strange things, which are all small paths and cannot be put on the table. Obviously, there is the easiest and best way, but we can't offer your majesty, can we not be in a hurry! ”
Gui Cao rolled her eyelids, as if she was smiling.
We're all adults, so don't play this trick.
It's not for nothing that there are stupid loyal ministers and filial sons in these years.
But it's definitely not you guys!
Yang, Shen, Zhou, Lu, and perhaps Qian and Xu, you are all super wealthy families in Jiangnan, and your family background is unimaginable.
Since the official cessation of going to the Western Ocean, the sea of the Ming Dynasty has been controlled by a few of you, even if Tianjin opens the sea and Jiaozhou opens the sea, you people still control two-thirds of the maritime trade.
Such a huge vested interest group says that it is in a hurry to honor the Son of Heaven, no matter how you look at it, it is all a liar!
"Mr. Koyama...... What are you going to do, let's get to the point! ”
The Mr. Hushan paused and said with a smile: "Lord Tianguan, since this is the case, I will make it clear...... As long as the imperial court can hand over the treasure money to us, we are willing to pay 10 million taels of interest to the imperial court every year...... The income of the treasury immediately doubled, what did Your Majesty want to do, and what else could not be done? ”
"Ten million taels!"
Gui Cao couldn't help but whisper, he stared at the other party, "You're not lying?" ”
"How could it be! If the heavenly officials feel that it is less, they can add more! ”
Gui Cao smiled bitterly, where did he feel that it was less, he was completely frightened.
Treasure money. Since the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty, it has been constantly depreciating, and today, it is basically the same as waste paper, and has disappeared from the circulation field.
Believe it or not, if anyone dares to buy something with treasure money, they are guaranteed to be beaten.
At present, the treasure money has not been abolished, the only reason is that in some cases, the imperial court wants to repay the debt, but it is difficult to say, it will use the treasure money to fill the number, such as the vassal king's money, only half of it, and the remaining half is folded into treasure money, which means about five discounts.
A thing that is so frivolous, someone is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it, there are really a lot of cats in it!
"Mr. Hushan, Wang Yue has great skills, you should know better than me, what tricks do you want to play, or dispel your thoughts as soon as possible. If it is really good for everyone, the old man is willing to contribute to this, if it is...... Hehe, the old man is old, there is no need to take the fire for you! ”
"Hahaha! Lord Tianguan is really happy, since this is the case, I will tell the truth...... In fact, this is not new, in the Song Dynasty, there were merchants in Shu to guarantee their net worth, the issuance of Jiaozi, we mean to the Jiangnan wealthy family to take the lead, to undertake the issuance of treasure money. It is not only for the imperial court to manage money, but also to provide convenience for us to do business, which is a matter of mutual benefit, as for how much money needs to be paid to the imperial court, only willing to agree, everything is easy to discuss. The villain thought that if Lord Tianguan wanted to go further and replace Zhang Ge Lao, this was the best opportunity! ”
……
"Wang Yue, this is the Temple of Confucius, it doesn't look very good!" Zhu Houxi said casually.
Wang Yue said: "The temple is not big or small, the key depends on who is enshrined!" ”
"Reasonable!"
Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Let's drive the Kong family away, who do you want to worship?" ”
"Naturally, it is a hero who worships our Ming Dynasty, I have Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, these two founding generals, must be enshrined...... As for who else should be put here...... Minister, minister is not easy to say. ”
"What's not to say!" Zhu Houxi laughed and said: "Of course it is Yu Shaobao, the change of Tumubao, he turned the tide, saved the Ming Dynasty, and kept the capital, so that the Ming Dynasty did not embark on the old road of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the merit covered Huanyu, if we can't enjoy the incense, we will be laughed at by the world." ”
Wang Yue sighed twice, bowed down and praised: "Your Majesty is so holy, the ministers are on the ground!" ”
The Son of Heaven and his entourage went south along the canal, and after stopping in Tongzhou, they entered the territory of Shandong and reached Yanzhou.
Zhu Houxi's will was lowered.
The original Confucian Temple was changed into the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Shrine, and the original sages were swept away, for the Ming Dynasty, what really needs to be worshiped is those martyrs who have really shed blood, paid the price, and established meritorious deeds for the common people in the world.
In fact, this is an obvious thing, but it has been ignored for too long.
As an official representative, the imperial court sacrificed to Confucius every year, not only to the Confucian saints, but also to the descendants of the Confucian family.
If you want to say that you don't pay attention to Confucianism, you don't believe in ghosts.
Simply moving the Yan Sheng Gong line to Chengde will not solve the problem, and people can come back.
Only by filling this temple again and finding people who are more qualified to enjoy the incense offering than Confucius can the world be convinced.
Zhu Houxi once planned to carry his father Xingxian Wang into the Taimiao, to put it bluntly, it was also a temptation.
It's a pity that the result is miserable!
No, it's no.
Forcibly pulling it up is useless and counterproductive.
If the emperor really replaces the sage and enshrines it here, sooner or later, it will be thrown out.
Since this is the case, only true heroes deserve to enjoy the admiration of the people of the world.
Xu Da often meets spring, as the pride of the empire, he has nothing to say.
And after the fiasco of Tumubao, Yu Qian withstood the pressure, regrouped, and kept the capital, and if you compare the shame of Jingkang a little, you will understand how amazing Yu Qian's contribution is!
Especially when the concept of the nation was proposed, Yu Qian's merits suddenly surpassed a simple family and a surname, and became a great hero defending China!
Although Da Ming's evaluation of Qian has always been not low, especially Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, who has already rehabilitated Yu Qian, but he was directly put into the Martyrs' Shrine, and it was changed by the Confucian Temple, this effect is really a bit explosive!
At that time, a Donghuamen roll call was a good man, which directly ruined the martial spirit of the two Song Dynasty...... Now putting Xu Da often meets spring and puts Yu Qian into the martyrs' shrine, which symbolizes the highest status, is an oath.
As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, it seems needless to say in which direction to work towards!
But that's not enough!
Even bigger surprises are yet to come!
Wang Yue's hand, holding a few gold coins and silver coins, the front is the face value, the back is the head, there is Yu Shaobao, there is Zhongshan King Xu Da, there is Kaiping King Chang Yuchun.
These coins are well-made, and the avatars on them are even more lifelike.
Zhu Houxi took it over, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"It's really yours, it's not enough to be in the Martyrs' Shrine, but it also needs to be printed on the currency...... With these few people as guarantees, our currency reform may also be able to be done. ”
