Chapter 974: Giving back to others in the way of others
Guo Caishen is by no means a wasted name.
Since he arrived in Liaodong, the military and civilians in Liaodong have been getting better and better day by day, not imperceptibly, but visible to the naked eye, and those big generals and big landlords have also made a lot of money.
In the eyes of others, it is difficult to reform the military system in Qingtian, but in Guo Dan's hands, it is invincible, smooth sailing, and there is no obstacle at all.
It's a miracle!
And the reason for this is said in one sentence.
If there is nothing else, it is rich and rich.
It's money.
But then again, if the ruler has no money, he basically can't do anything, and all he does is some bad things.
If Wanli didn't have strong capital, he would never dare to take this step.
You must know that inadvertently, their pair of emperor merchants has already smashed a million taels.
Without this money, how could Guo Dan get the support of the local gentry and landlords, the contracts he signed with those landlords were all spent money, and how could he settle those soldiers who had been discharged from the army, not to mention giving the soldiers extremely high treatment and the most sophisticated equipment in the world.
In fact, at this point, Fang Fengshi was slightly unconvinced, because no matter which minister was sent to reform, it was impossible for the imperial court to allocate so much money to him.
Reform! Reform!
In fact, it is removal.
In the past, leeks really couldn't be cut, so they had to be cut new.
The ultimate purpose of the change was to find a way to get money from the people and the landlords, not to give them money.
Isn't the greatness of Zhang Juzheng's reform in filling the treasury?
The common people did not get many benefits from Zhang Juzheng's reforms.
Naturally, it is difficult to ask for money!
But if you want to make money, you have a fart difficulty.
I'll be on it, too!
But the difference between the two is also here, others spend money, that is pure spending, and Guo Dan spends money, which is able to earn money back in a short time.
Otherwise, Iron Rooster Wanli would not have allowed him to spend so much money.
Wanli didn't become generous.
Guo Dan opened a large port in Liaodong, so it will be more convenient to sell Liaodong goods to Jiangnan and other places, and send Jiangnan goods to Liaodong, these two sides of the market are complementary, which is bound to promote the trade between Liaodong and the tribes, here will become prosperous business, on the surface, Guo Dan seems to spend money to make wedding dresses for others, but don't forget, he has shares in his hands.
The prosperity of the military town can lay a solid foundation for the future joint-stock system of Yinuo Grain Bank.
At that time, Yinuo Grain Bank will be able to suck back the money he is spending now from the hands of those landlords and generals.
In the past, when the money was spent, the landlords saved it, which was equivalent to the end of the market, and the lack of money in the market could only lead to a depression.
In fact, this is pure capital play, first throwing money, creating prosperity, stimulating stock prices, or listing relevant businesses, which is equivalent to sucking back the money, and then investing in it, and so on.
If this continues, this will definitely lead to a financial crisis.
But that is later, Guo Dan thinks that it is difficult to see in his life, because now the Age of Discovery has just begun, a global market is forming, as long as you play well, as long as you promote productivity, the market will inevitably prosper.
If there is no Age of Discovery, no matter how well you play, there will inevitably be an economic crisis within ten years.
At this time, the situation creates heroes, and there is no way.
In any case, the eastern Liaoning region is currently showing prosperity.
The morale of the military and civilians is high.
A large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed.
There are winners, there must be losers, the real victims, most of them are not in Liaodong, the basic plate of vested interests in Liaodong has not changed, they are still vested interests, but they have an extra grain bank above them, and the victims are the magnates and bureaucrats in the capital.
Because such a reform means that there is nothing to do with them.
Everything was controlled by Guo Dan, not to mention meat, they didn't even have soup to drink.
At present, the military salaries of the three towns are all responsible for the tax revenue of the four prefectures in Henan, and this money is not even paid by the household department, so how can they make money.
In addition, Yinuo Yaxing made that thing in Jiangxi, which made them very stimulated.
Although Wanli was impartial about Jiangxi, in the eyes of the powerful and bureaucracy, Wanli was biased in favor of Guo Dan.
Regardless of whether those officials are corrupt or not, but it is an internal matter of our power, these officers and soldiers have been attacked in vain, if the court does nothing, where is the majesty of the officials, officers and soldiers, and how can we exploit the people.
This is a feudal taboo!
The two should not be confused.
They pointed the finger directly at Guo Dan and resolutely demanded that Guo Dan be arrested.
The quarrel between the DPRK and China was inextricable, and as Shen Shixing expected, the minister could not be dispatched.
Wuqing Houfu.
"Master Hou, this situation is getting worse and worse."
Chen Yinzhao seemed to have palpitations, and said in a low voice: "I have heard the news recently, the vast majority of the powerful people in the DPRK are deeply dissatisfied with His Majesty's blind favoritism towards Guo Dan, and some of them even threaten to give His Majesty a little color to see, I think they don't care whether they break up in two." ”
Li Gao was startled and hurriedly asked, "What are they going to do?" ”
"They want to create mutinies in Datong and Taiyuan, and at the same time mobilize troops from the guards in Jiangxi to deal with Guo Dan, so as to force His Majesty to compromise." Saying that, Chen Yinzhao said to Li Gao again: "Master Hou, what should we do?" ”
They are also part of an interest group.
Li Gao was already sweating profusely, shook his head and said, "I don't plan to mix this matter, but it's really terrible." ”
He really doesn't have the courage to have a hard anal with the emperor, he is at most playing some intrigues, and they are currently betting on both sides.
However, both the magnates in the court and the local magnates have realized that the emperor is determined to take back the interests in their hands, and many things have happened recently, from the new policy to the reform of the military system, which are constantly stimulating them, and the Jiangxi incident has added fuel to the fire.
They were also eager to force the emperor to retract his order through court discussions, but the emperor was very reckless, and resolutely did not hold court meetings, and everything was issued in the form of edicts, and Shen Shixing, the old fox, was aggrieved when he saw everyone, and discussing with him was like playing the harp to a cow, so of course they would not sit still.
Since your emperor no longer protects the interests of our magnates, then we will no longer protect the interests of your emperor.
It's a big deal.
Even Li Gao, Chen Yinzhao and others were very frightened, and they found that this contradiction was difficult to reconcile.
The emperor's reform was imperative, and the old elites were resolutely opposed.
This man dies for wealth, and the bird dies for food.
The situation between the DPRK and China is at an early juncture.
However, because Wanli is a strong wall in the middle of the court, and he does not show up when he is killed, the center of the game between the two sides is actually carried out locally.
And Guo Dan and Fang Fengshi's "far-reaching significance" also began to be reflected.
Overnight, mutinies occurred in Datong and Taiyuan one after another.
However, to everyone's surprise, the mutiny was not masterminded by the powerful people of the DPRK and China behind the scenes, but because the soldiers were dissatisfied with the military household system and mutined directly in the barracks, and at the same time, a large number of military households in turn surrounded the generals who enslaved them, and even the governor's palace was surrounded by soldiers, and the soldiers demanded that the imperial court abolish the military household system, implement the new military system in Datong and Taiyuan, improve the treatment of soldiers, and give soldiers dignity.
These are all what Guo Dan said in Liaodong Town!
This has made the powerful people in the DPRK and China dumbfounded.
In fact, they have received the news that all this is the masterpiece of Jinyiwei.
It was Jinyiwei who constantly had to promote the prosperity of Liaodong Town in the local area, telling them that the soldiers of Liaodong now get money a month, which is worth them for a few months, and even the employment of future generations has a great guarantee, everyone is also a soldier, why are they living so well, but we are not even as good as dogs, and they entrap low-level generals, lure them to lead soldiers to mutiny, and fight against those military elites who are still trying to shake the tree.
But those magnates originally planned to use this trick against the emperor, resisting the new military system, the emperor was afraid of a mutiny in the military camp, and several previous reforms were defeated by the mutiny, but they never expected that the emperor would use this trick before them and take the lead in launching a mutiny.
It can be described as Murong Fu in the imperial realm.
Give back to others in their own way
Hung Yen Bo House.
"Old Xu! Thank you so much this time, and if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have ...... I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would lay out such a big situation this time. ”
British Gongzhang Yuangong sighed with palpitations.
He has always been swaying, but in the end, he still listened to Xu Mengxi's persuasion and did not participate in it.
It turned out that he made the right choice.
Xu Mengxuan said: "Those who are still trying to continue to oppose His Majesty are really blind, then Li Chengliang is such a shrewd person, I think the army is more cunning than him, he has been operating in Liaodong for so long, and he controls almost everything in Liaodong, this is the foundation of his foothold!"
However, when Fang Fengshi and Guo Dan went to Liaodong Town, he immediately gave up all the power in Liaodong, which shows that he knows that His Majesty is already unstoppable, as Guo Dan said at the beginning, those who go along will prosper, and those who go against it will die. ”
Zhang Yuangong nodded, and sighed again: "In the end, they still underestimated Your Majesty and Guo Dan, thinking that the reform of Liaodong Town would inevitably be hindered by many obstacles, but they never thought about it, but it was smooth sailing, almost effortless, it was really fast, once Your Majesty controls Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhou, plus Ningxia over there, it will be difficult for the rest of the border towns to threaten Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty has taken the initiative, now it depends on what Your Majesty intends to do." ”
......
Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, Datong and Taiyuan are already under our control."
Dong Ping handed over a list again, "These are those generals who oppose the new recruit system, and now they have all been controlled by our people." ”
Wanli took the list, looked at it, nodded and smiled: "Very good!" Chamberlain. ”
Zhang Cheng said: "Weichen is here." ”
Wanli said: "Immediately pass on my edict to appoint Wu Weizhong as the governor of Taiyuan and Datong, take over the armies of the two places, and quell the ...... mutiny." ”
Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Your Majesty, Wu Weizhong is still in Banzhou now, and he won't be able to catch up for a while." ”
Wanli said with a smile: "He is now on standby in Huaiqing Mansion. ”
Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Wanli said: "In addition, I will send an edict to Fang Feng and Guo Dan, so that they can rush to Taiyuan and Datong to implement the new military system locally." ”
"Wechen obeys."
