Zhu Houzhao stuffed the newly replaced Hongzhi silver ticket into his arms, and walked over with a respectful face: "Erchen Houzhao, I have seen my father." ”

Yan Chengjin was amazed, this guy can always enter the role of filial piety at the speed of light.

Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes slightly: "You came here to save silver?" ”

"The father is worried, but the sons just think it's novel, so they come to see it, and they will go back to the palace." Zhu Hou did not squint.

is obviously serious, but in the eyes of Li Dongyang and several people, he always feels that something is wrong.

Yan Chengjin knew that Zhu Houzhao was here to save money.

Twenty-five thousand taels of silver are better than silver.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't believe it, and motioned to Xiao Jing and Mu Bin: "Search your body." ”

"Your Highness is offended."

Xiao Jing and Mu Bin each held one hand, and searched out the new silver ticket from Zhu Houzhao's arms, which was still hot.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly shocked: "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Erchen was deceived by his ability, and Lao Gao is an accomplice. ”

Li Dongyang and a few people had stiff faces and deceived 25,000 taels?

According to the Ming law, he should be given twenty lashes and exiled to serve in the frontiers.

Yan Chengjin couldn't wait to sew Zhu Houzhao's mouth shut: "This is the silver tael from the Marquis of Shouning, Your Majesty only confiscated half of it last time." ”

You were the first to betray your ministers.

Zhu Houzhao was anxious, and quickly calmed down again: "Father, this silver is the dowry that the sons want to save for Xiuyu." ”

Nonsense, you obviously want to use it to recruit troops and go to the grassland to have fun.

Yan Chengjin tilted his head slightly, and Zhu Houzhao also learned Wang Shouren's attacking heart.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of this filial piety, and his heart softened, and within the palace walls, the most valuable thing is brotherhood.

The prince can think about his young sister, and he is very relieved.

"I won't take your money."

The silver ticket returned to Zhu Houzhao's hands.

Emperor Hongzhi and his entourage stood in front of the door of the business for a long time, a little disappointed, and the Hongzhi silver ticket represented the public trust of Emperor Hongzhi.

There was not a single person who came to exchange the silver ticket, which shows that the people did not believe in Emperor Hongzhi.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi was a little chilled.

Yan Chengjin comforted: "In the eyes of businessmen, Hongzhi silver tickets are the same as Daming Tongbao, so they are not trusted." ”

Emperor Hongzhi and the princes understood this truth, but how to get the merchants to exchange for silver tickets?

The decree has been proclaimed to the world for three days, and it cannot be withdrawn at once.

Even if it is withdrawn, it will not help, and the large inflow of silver will make the silver worthless.

Can't dig the silver in the mines?

Emperor Hongzhi comforted himself: "I think it will get better tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, the news has only been released for two days, maybe tomorrow, there will be businessmen to exchange for silver tickets." Xie Qian added.

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace with a hint of luck.

The chessboard street is endless, and the merchants may stop to watch, but no one walks into the shops to exchange for silver tickets.

Fools can see that this is a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

The imperial court just changed the name of the Daming treasure banknote, called Hongzhi Silver Ticket, to deceive fools?

Yan Chengjin said to Wang Busui: "Why doesn't anyone save silver?" ”

"You don't have ...... If the officials don't exist, where do the gentry dare to exist? Wang Busui had a bitter face.

I was worried that the silver would depreciate, but I was afraid that the silver deposited in it would be seized by the imperial court.

Although I panicked, I didn't dare to save it.

However, these words woke up Yan Chengjin.

The official gentry can touch the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and play the role of a weather vane among the gentry.

The gentry see that the officials and gentry do not exist, where do they dare to exist.

Although it is very inconvenient to travel through mountains and rivers and escort silver transactions, it is reassuring to only have silver in your hands.

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and came to Li Mansion to see Li Dongyang.

"Can Gong Li know, why don't the gentry save silver?"

Li Dongyang's eyes were burning, revealing a charitable and meaningful smile: "You know? ”

"If the officials don't exist, the gentry don't dare to exist."

Yan Chengjin knew that if he admonished directly, he would stand in a hostile position with the hundred officials, and Li Dongyang needed to support him.

Li Dongyang fell into deep thought.

In other words, it is to let the hundred officials deposit silver first, exchange it for silver tickets, and then call on merchants to deposit silver.

The person who admonishes will definitely cause the dislike of the officials, no wonder this son came to him.

"What do you want to do with this officer?"

"The lower official will advise tomorrow, and I also ask Li Gong to help the lower official and second."

Li Dongyang's relieved look gradually turned into disdain.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "The business name of the imperial court, does anyone go to deposit silver?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, as the day before yesterday, there is only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone."

Emperor Hongzhi looked melancholy, got up from the throne, and took a few steps in front of the emperor.

It is not permissible to decree that the government should oversee the people in keeping money.

In that case, will I not become a tyrant?

"What do you think, what should you do?"

Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, dazed and at a loss.

Yan Chengjin glanced at Li Dongyang and sent a code.

Immediately, he stepped forward: "The minister has three admonitions, which should be feasible. ”

Emperor Hongzhi tilted his head slightly, looked at Yan Chengjin, and signaled: You continue.

"First, let the hundred officials exchange the silver taels in their homes for silver tickets.

The second article is to exchange the officials' salaries for silver bills at a rate of 50% of the discount.

Third, the imperial court will make the silver deposits in the firm's name public. ”

There is no one in the business because the gentry do not believe in the officials.

If even the official changes the silver ticket, although it will not be changed by the whole people, at least it will play a leading role.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Yan Chengjin."

"yes, why don't you change it yourself? I also exchanged all the money for the mansion! ”

The hundred officials were furious and glared angrily at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin retreated into the team, and the rest could only look at Li Dongyang.

At this moment, Li Dongyang said: "Teacher, follow the effect, do it from above, and go down." The ministers don't exchange silver tickets, and the gentry naturally refuse to exchange silver tickets.

The minister is willing to exchange all the money in the house. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were speechless to refute.

The silver ticket was issued by His Majesty, and it must not be said in front of His Majesty that it was a lie.

Liu Jian thought for a moment and felt very reasonable.

"If even the officials don't believe it, how can the people believe it."

"Then according to the old system, the officials will be fifty percent of their money, and silver tickets will be issued, and the silver stored in the family will be deposited in the business name to observe the after-effects."

Baiguan bowed slightly.

On Qipan Street, the business shops suddenly became very lively.

The housekeeper in the cabinet minister's palace ordered someone to carry the silver to the business, and the boxes of silver were opened, and the onlookers shouted that they had never seen so much silver.

Yan Chengjin ordered that the gentry of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce deposit the silver taels in the mansion into the firm.

Although the gentry were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey.

In one day, the firm received three million taels of silver.

Yan Chengjin thought to himself, he couldn't even think of mining silver ore now.

Silver bills are gradually circulating in the market, and without the corresponding silver deposits, they will become waste paper.

and treasure money one end.

The next day, the factory guard, who was under surveillance at the firm, hurriedly returned to the palace to report: "Master Xiao, someone in the firm has exchanged silver tickets." ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly put down the sparse play: "How much silver did you change?" ”

"More than three million taels."

The silver collected by the imperial court in the summer of a year was only five million taels.

The gentry in the capital, all of them are fat sheep, report to Your Majesty.

Xiao Jing took the cloud exhibition and hurriedly rushed to the Fengtian Palace.

"Your Majesty, someone has exchanged silver tickets."

Emperor Hongzhi looked up in astonishment: "How much have you changed?" ”

"More than three million silver."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, and after a long time, he said: "Yan Chengjin's idea is not bad. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes flickered.

The imperial court set up a business to prevent a large inflow of silver from becoming worthless.

If the silver doesn't flow in, it's a big problem.

Nowadays, it is impossible to go to the island country to open a mine.

Emperor Hongzhi also thought of the key point: "How is the progress of the gunpowder supervised by the Ministry of Industry?" ”
