Chapter 325: National Disaster and Wealth
The matter in Mongolia has not yet spread, but after tonight, those women will know, and finally the news will reach Chang Luohua's ears, I don't know what it is, rather than making her frightened at that time, it is better for him to tell it himself.
Chang Luohua nodded when he heard this: "The concubine knows, my father has been fighting all year round, and he can still dominate the world in troubled times, and now that my Ming army is at its peak, there will be no problem." ”
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yue Zhang's claim to be able to run rampant with 100,000 people can run rampant in the world, and now there are only 100,000 soldiers stationed in the north, and I don't plan to tell you about it, but I'm afraid that you will hear those nonsense." ”
The young couple was having dinner, and Liu Jin came in to communicate: "Your Highness, Chen Youzong, the political envoy, asks to see you." ”
Zhu Biao directly ordered: "Lead him to the Wenhua Palace, and the palace will go in a while." ”
Liu Jin retreated as promised, Zhu Biao was still eating unhurriedly, and Chang Luohua didn't urge, isn't it a favor to let his subordinates wait for the monarch?
Zhu Biao was thinking about how to speak, it was not good to be too tough, he was not a robber, it was not good to be too soft, how could the prince ask his courtiers, he could only hope that Chen Youzong would cooperate.
After finishing the meal, Zhu Biao instructed: "It is estimated that it will be very late, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early." ”
Then he went out of the Chengqian Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs carried lanterns to lead the way, the Wenhua Hall was not far away, and after walking in, he saw Chen Youzong kneeling on the ground, and Zhu Biao casually asked him to get up without courtesy when he passed by.
Chen Youzong stood up, and without waiting for Zhu Biao to speak, he said directly: "Your Highness must have an order to summon the ministers urgently, and please ask Your Highness to give an order, the ministers will definitely be ruined, and they will not give up!" ”
Zhu Biao was stunned, Chen Youzong was sensible and transparent, he knew it, and he saw it in Hangzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so good, this is not a point.
But he forgot that although he had never specifically summoned Chen Youzong, he had been promoted to the head of the General Political Envoy Department, directly from the fourth rank to the third grade, which was a step to the sky.
The official position is divided into nine grades, from the first grade to the ninth grade, a total of eighteen levels, the first grade to the third grade can be called the hall official, from the third grade to the seventh grade, called the hall official or the staff official, from the seventh grade below the staff officer.
From the title, you can know how noble this is the three products, you must know that the first product can be more of a false position, and the second product is basically the top of the courtiers, that is, the level of the six Shangshu, to the point of the official in the hall, in fact, the qualifications are almost the same, and in the end, it depends on who Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the general can be the leader of the Chinese book to rule the six ceremonies
can lead a department to assist the government.
Chen Youzong thought that he would have to stay in the fourth grade or from the third grade for four or five years before he had the opportunity to lead a department, but he did not expect to cross this dragon gate just a few months after entering the dynasty, and since then he has directly become an important member of the party.
Now that the Jiangnan clan has made it clear that he is the first to look forward, the subordinate officials of the ministry are obedient, and the colleagues in the court have happily accepted him, and even the saints have taken care of him, of course he knows whose face it depends on.
To tell the truth, although he took the initiative to serve, he only thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a stable position, and thought that he would have a good hand in waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne in the future.
He is also a person who has risen and fallen in the sea, how can there be so many good people in this world, if everything goes smoothly, it means that people are deliberately flattering you.
Zhu Biao's status is too high, whenever he passes the official, he naturally doesn't know the doorway, for him it is just an ordinary promotion, the general political envoy is new, and he naturally wants to put a person of his own, after all, the general political envoy is responsible for delivering the news inside and outside the palace, and outsiders are not at ease.
Zhu Biao saw that Chen Youzong's expression was sincere, and he couldn't help but smile on his face: "You also know the situation in Mongolia, the imperial court is now in short supply of food......
Chen Youzong bowed down and said: "There is still a lot of grain in the minister's house, if you take it out, you can probably make up 200,000 stones, and Your Highness will give it if you need it." ”
Zhu Biao touched his sideburns, what he said, His Royal Highness's need is not the same as the need of the imperial court, it seems that the Chen family is reluctant to give up 200,000 stones.
But it's normal, that is, the household department can't take out 200,000 stone of grain now, you can imagine how rich this is, but this bit of food is far from enough to plug the gap, and it is all shocking consumption for disaster relief and war.
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Chen Aiqing is loyal, but how can the imperial court forcibly requisition your family's grain, it is so unruly." ”
Chen Youzong immediately said: "Is it a forced conscription, the ministers have to be blessed by heaven, and they have already had the heart to repay the service, just when the imperial court needs to voluntarily donate food, this is a beautiful talk, who dares to talk too much." ”
Zhu Biao smiled and waved his hand, it was still the same sentence, the imperial court is the founder and maintainer of order, and now he is doing business, but as soon as this example is opened, will the princes in the future be able to squeeze the family merchants at will, which is not a good thing for social development.
Zhu Biao this time is not only to levy grain, but also to establish the credibility of the imperial court, credibility is related to Zhu Biao's series of plans in the future, and it must not be damaged, such as paper money in the future, how can you make the people willing to exchange real money for light paper.
We can't go back to the old way, relying on the 80-meter-long big knife in the hand of Comrade Lao Zhu, so that people all over the world cry and are forced to admit that this is money, and such a system will inevitably collapse at that time.
To tell the truth, the reputation of the Ming court in history is really bad, knowing that the treasure money system has collapsed, it is still printing frantically, and it is clearly relying on this exploitation of the business community and the people, especially Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, these two people don't know how to operate at all, they know that they want to print money and then cut people, as for what happened next, Lao Tzu won by cutting foreigners, do you dare to jump?
Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said: "Your family wealth is all saved by the hard work of your ancestors, and the court has no reason to ask for it in vain, but the court does have a big gap now, if you don't care about the transfer from all over the country, then the people who have just settled down will not be able to survive again." ”
"The plan of this palace is to borrow from the family merchants in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will be repaid with new grain in three years, and there will be interest, does Chen Aiqing think it is feasible?"
Chen Youzong frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, the minister doesn't lie in front of His Highness, now grain is more valuable than silver, it is hard currency, the North Central Plains are lacking, as long as it takes time to sell in the past, there is still a lot of money, especially when I heard that there has been a 100-day drought in Shaanxi and Gansu recently, the river ditch is dry and the canal is cut off, and there are already many people who are going to transport grain over there and are ready to make a lot of money." ”
Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed, sure enough, there are people who dare to make a fortune, this time they have to kill a batch, just right, those grains can also be deducted, and they can be used directly as relief food, and the provincial court will waste time to exercise, so let them transport it.
