Yan Chengjin expected that His Majesty would not believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang told his descendants that I sent people to explore these feudal states, but there were no bird feathers, and when I sent troops to attack, I just sprinkled salt in the crotch of my pants, and I was so idle that my eggs hurt.

"The minister learned that recently, there was a group of Japanese robbers, transporting silver to trade in the Ming Dynasty, and the amount was huge, so he guessed that in the island country, there was a silver mine similar to Mankara."

This is the news that was tracked from the Japanese who sent the letter.

Although the Iwami silver mine was in the island country, the people of the island country did not know about it until the fifteenth year of Koji, when it was initially mined by Uemon.

However, the mined silver is very limited, and it needs the fire support of the Great Ming Dynasty.

The light in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes dimmed, revealing a little disappointment: "But this is just the speculation of the Qing family. ”

"Your Majesty may wish to send someone to investigate."

Yan Chengjin hoped that the Zhang brothers could bring a letter at this time.

It has been more than two months since the Japanese came to deliver the letter, and the Zhang brothers were torn up, right?

Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought, looked at Yan Chengjin's gaze, and became shaken.

This son's advice has always been very high.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's hesitation, Yan Chengjin continued: "There is no silver in the treasury, but there is money in the treasury, and the treasury borrows the silver from the treasury, and when the silver mine is opened, it will be recharged back into the treasury."

If Your Majesty is not at ease, you can ask Lord Han to make an IOU. ”

Zhang Sheng's face was strange, you asked His Majesty to borrow his own silver, and then make an IOU?

It's worthy of you, when the official opened Jiaozhai and asked for begging for silver, why didn't you expect it.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has opened less than ten times.

No one knows how much silver His Majesty has.

But how many imperial villages and how many royal shops there are in the world, although these are unknown, it is certain that His Majesty has silver!

Emperor Hongzhi glared angrily and said angrily, "You want to hollow out my inner clothes? Step aside! I don't want to see you. ”

"......" Yan Chengjin.

The establishment of the Imperial History Yamen in the world is similar to the abolition of the funeral system by Yingzong, which is unprecedented and a pioneering move.

If you want to convince Your Majesty, it will not happen overnight.

What Emperor Hongzhi cared about most was not the silver mines of the island country, but the fertile land and population on the Yellow Book.

After a thorough investigation of the Yellow Book, although it was learned that the local government and gentry had hidden the fields.

But so far there is no way to target it, and he does not dare to move the gentry, like a thorn, pierced in the heart.

The establishment of the imperial history yamen in the local area can greatly alleviate the hidden report of fertile land and population.

After Yan Chengjin and Zhang Sheng withdrew from the main hall, Emperor Hongzhi said indignantly: "My internal treasure is the foundation of the country, and it is the confidence to leave it to the prince in the future and create a prosperous world, how can I take it out at this time." ”

Xiao Jing slandered in his heart, Zhu Houzhao will not defeat your silver, let's call him grandpa.

After all, His Majesty has high hopes for the crown prince.

But His Majesty was angry, and he didn't dare to contradict it: "What Your Majesty said is that as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, Your Majesty is virtuous and virtuous, how can Your Highness be too bad." ”

Emperor Hongji took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Yan Chengjin certainly made him angry, but what he said was not unreasonable.

"Spread my will, order the cabinet and Jiuqing to come to see me, Yan Chengjin doesn't need to stay, I don't want to see him."

Xiao Jing was ecstatic: "The slave will go and report it." ”

Outside the main hall,

Yan Chengjin and Zhang Sheng walked down the imperial steps, about ten zhang away from the gate of Fengtian Palace.

Zhang Sheng looked at no one around, and then said to Yan Chengjin: "The old man helped you admonish, you are not prepared enough, no wonder the old man, but you can't regret what you promised the old man." ”

Yan Chengjin is a trustworthy person.

Besides, I may have to cooperate with Zhang Sheng in the future,

After all, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the imperial examination and the ancestral system, and if he wants to reform the system, someone will jump out and point at his nose, and you will have to violate the ancestral system.

Anyway, Zhang Yuanxi was dismissed, and Liangxiang also saved three taels of silver a month.

"When the official returned home, he ordered someone to let Zhang Yuanxi go back to the capital."

", how vulgar!"

At this moment, the little eunuch walked up quickly and smiled at Zhang Sheng: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty has invited Jiuqing." ”

Immediately, the little eunuch turned around and looked embarrassed: "But don't invite the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Yan Chengjin was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that His Majesty was about to make a decision.

It's okay not to go, he is in the Fengtian Temple, but he will be criticized by Hangul.

In an instant, the cabinet and Jiuqing rushed to Fengtian Palace, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi for some reason, and His Majesty summoned Jiuqing, which must be a big deal.

Emperor Hongzhi handed over the account book and let Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others circulate it.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"It is the account book sent by Yan Chengjin, and Xie Yu cleared the money in the prefectures and counties of the two capitals and fourteen provinces, and opened the imperial history yamen."

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian looked at each other, 500,000 taels, which was an astronomical amount for the imperial court.

The summer tax had not yet arrived, and it was a time when the treasury was empty.

Emperor Hongzhi's gaze gradually became firm, and he said, "Do you still remember the Yellow Book hidden?" I have been thinking about it for a long time, but there is no way to deal with it, I want to set up the Imperial History Yamen in Fuzhou County to carry out the responsibility of supervision! ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's bodies were shocked.

The imperial history is under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty, and its status is transcendent, if the yamen is set up in the local area, I am afraid that the six departments in the future should be changed to seven!

In this way, the biggest benefit is Yan Chengjin, right?

It is conceivable that in the future, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will become more powerful.

Xiong Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand to stop it and shook his head: "No need to persuade again, I can think clearly." ”

Han Wen looked nervous: "But the treasury can't support 500,000 taels." ”

"From the within, and from my within, with silver." Emperor Hongzhi was breezy and calm, like a gentry with thousands of dollars in his waist, and he was arrogant.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were even more surprised.

His Majesty took the initiative to open the internal money, just like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obediently studying in Minglun Hall, which is really rare.

And 500,000 taels of silver, even if the state treasury takes it out, all expenditures will be reduced by more than half a year.

Han Wen's face changed from worry to joy: "Your Majesty's wisdom and generosity are the blessing of the people. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was inconvenient: "The treasury will return the money to the treasury in the future, and Han Qing's family will give me an IOU." ”

"......" Zhang Sheng.

He lowered his head slightly, isn't this exactly what Yan Chengjin said.

The corners of Han Wen's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”

Soon, a decree came out of the cabinet, and through the spies of the General Administration Department, riding fast horses, it was transmitted to the two capitals and fourteen provinces.

All the yamen in the Forbidden City were boiling.

Your Majesty wants to set up a royal history yamen in Fuzhou and counties in the world, and in the future, the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be the same.

"I can't think of it, I really can't imagine that Your Majesty wants to set up a royal history yamen."

"Yan Chengjin's official rank, I'm afraid it will be comparable to the six ministries."

"Brother Yue Hua, be cautious."

Several officials in Hanyuan bowed their heads and exchanged opinions.

This is generally the case in the major duty rooms, except for the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room, waited left and right, and did not see the little eunuch to deliver the decree.

His Majesty was allowed to play, and someone should be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deliver the decree, but after half an hour, there was no movement.

Zheng Qian hurriedly ran in: "My lord, the official only went to Fengtian Hall to hand over the bullet seal, and His Majesty wants to set up the Imperial History Yamen." ”

The imperial historians threw away their pens one after another and came up to ask.

Yan Chengjin's face was calm, if the tax and silver did not rise, His Majesty said that he would not be able to ask him for silver.
