Chapter 281: Imperial City Division
With the three boatloads of silver sent by Zhou Gongjin and the tens of thousands of taels of gold contributed by Xuanzang, Li Jun's long-dreamed currency reform finally began.
For this reason, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Commerce are busy with their feet not touching the ground, the Ministry of Commerce is mainly responsible for calculating the amount of gold storage, issuance, with these basic data can be issued, in case there is more, it is not in the benefit of the people, it is harming the people, more ruthless than the military disaster, Ming Taizu's Jiaozi is a living example, because the Ministry of Commerce is now basically an official from a businessman, so the calculation of these data is very relieved to them.
The main task of the household department is to collect miscellaneous money throughout the country, the five baht money has been issued for so many years, most of the miscellaneous money has been eliminated, but there are still many remote areas continue to use miscellaneous money, the household department wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate miscellaneous money, the five baht money to all parts of the country.
The people in the household department are very shrewd, for ordinary people, as long as he can come up with money, no matter what the money is broken, they will be exchanged for a new five-baht coin, for large families and merchants, but by the catty, a pound of miscellaneous money for a pound of new money, but the new money is mixed with lead, so the weight of the new money is much heavier than the miscellaneous money, and the large families have suffered heavy losses, some misers came to Li Jun to cry, not only did not achieve results, but also was severely fined by Li Jun for several months.
In the champion building of Yushan, Zhao Yin and Gao Pei were drinking, Zhao Yin looked at the crying proprietress below, not only sighed and asked, "Old Gao, how much money did your family lose this time?" ”
Gao Pei shook his head and said: "You also know me, now I am just a Shang Shulang, and I don't have much money, so that loss is negligible, but my father-in-law's family heard that the loss is heavy, less than 2,000 yuan, and it is estimated that your family has also lost a lot." ”
Zhao Yinyin said with a smile: "This is wrong, my family really hasn't lost much, because my father likes gold very much, so my father will exchange all the copper coins in the family for gold, alas, at this time I have to admire and say, my father is really wise." ”
"Hmph, you are the rats in the Book of Songs." Gao Pei snorted coldly.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, tomorrow Lao Tzu will go to Leling County to report, even if you practice it for me today, so you can invite this meal." Zhao Yin said with a smile.
Gao Pei sighed and said, "Alas, when you leave, there are really fewer and fewer people in this capital who can speak?" ”
"Hmph, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, Lao Tzu is gone, Wang Zhen's kid is still there, you won't be lonely." Zhao Yin scolded with a smile.
"Let's pull it down, General Ji is going to be the commander of the Guizhou Army, Commander He is taking up the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Wang Zhen and your brother are grabbing the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, both of them are about to hit the dog's brain, how can I take care of my little Shang Shulang?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yin was in no mood to joke, his younger brother secretly went to join Jinyiwei without telling his family, which was about to become a joke in Xungui's family, and he couldn't get out of bed for several days.
Every family has its own troubles, and when they think about their future lives, they both keep silent, and this world is really getting harder and harder......
Li Jun now has two coins in his hand, the front of the gold coin is printed with the head of the Yellow Emperor, the back is the pattern of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, the front of the silver coin is the pattern of Li Jun's horizontal sword, and the back is the pattern of Emperor Gaozu ascending the throne.
Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Pang Qing, just follow this template to make it." ”
"No, the minister obeys."
During this time, Pang Jixian's figure returned to its previous appearance, and Li Jun said to He Shen: "When Pang Shangshu leaves the palace for a while, give Pang Shangshu some Korean ginseng to make up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pang Jixian said with trepidation.
For these small means of the emperor, Li Jun is still very slippery, after Pang Ji left the palace first, Li Jun officially issued an order to release this currency reform.
So Datang vigorously launched a currency reform.
After dealing with these things, Li Jun called He Jun into the palace, He Jun has also been in good spirits on happy occasions recently, and it is a right way for him to get out of Jinyiwei.
Li Jun threw the new appointment letter to He Jun and said: "He Jun, I promised you and your uncle that I would give you the He family a right path, then I will not break my promise, now that I have sat down, I hope that in the future, you can also go down this road well, and don't let me down." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely bow down and die." He Jun and He Shen knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Okay, get up, crying and crying is annoying, He Jun, I ask you, who do you think is more suitable for the position of commander of Jinyi Guard, Wang Zhen or Zhao Yan?" ”
"The two of them have their own advantages, and the minister doesn't know how to choose, everything is up to His Majesty." He Jun replied cautiously.
Li Jun snorted coldly: "Slippery head, if you don't want to answer this kind of thing, I won't force you, I decided to split the Jinyi Guard into two parts, one is called the Supervision Guard, which is mainly responsible for internal officials and civil supervision, and the other is called Hu Yiwei, which is mainly responsible for exploring the intelligence of the enemy country, He Jun, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise, the minister has already discovered this problem in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, especially some enemy intelligence, which is always not sorted out in a timely manner, and many opportunities have been missed for this, and His Majesty has not given up, and the minister has not been punished until now." He Jun hurriedly patted a sycophant and said.
Li Jun scolded with a smile: "I'm embarrassed to say, it's because you're stupid, if you change to someone else, it's estimated that you will be much better than you, that is, I, the foolish emperor, can use you, a foolish courtier." ”
"Your Majesty's lesson is that the minister should keep it in mind."
"Okay, now you are also the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but you can't be the same as before, I have arranged for several high-achieving students from military academies to go to the Royal Forest Army, if you don't understand, listen to their opinions, when the Royal Forest Army will still go out to fight, if something happens on the battlefield, I can't protect you even if I want to, understand?" Li Jun said uneasily.
"I understand."
After He Jun retreated, only He Shen was left in the hall, looking at the old slave who had followed him for many years, Li Jun couldn't bear to say the next words.
Li Jun struggled for a long time before he slowly said, "He Shen, you have been following me for more than twenty years. ”
"Emperor Meng Xian and the Queen Mother will not give up, and the old slave has been by His Majesty's side since he was born." He Shen poured Li Jun a cup of tea and replied with a smile.
Li Jun looked at He Shen, who already had white hair on his head, nodded and said: "He Shen, you are different to me, I sometimes even treat you as a family member, I originally wanted you to enjoy your old age well, but now there is another thing, except for you to do it, others are really not at ease when they come to me." ”
"This life of the old slave is Your Majesty's, Your Majesty has something to do, but please command." He Shen hurriedly knelt down and said.
Li Jun helped He Shen up and said, "From today onwards, you resign from the position of Da Changqiu." ”
"Ah, Your Majesty, but the old slave is not serving well, please tell Your Majesty, the old slave will definitely change, Your Majesty must not drive the old slave out of the palace." He Shen knelt on the ground and cried.
"Okay, hurry up, you don't have any bad care, I have something important for you to do, now the Jinyi Guard is divided into two departments, and the leader is not a retainer like He Jun, so I am very worried about the Jinyi Guard now, I am going to set up a new agency in the palace, this agency is called the Imperial City Division, in fact, it is also responsible for finding out information for me, but this department also has an important role, that is, it is responsible for monitoring the Jinyi Guard, and the Imperial History of the Jinyi Guard is ready to be removed, In the future, this responsibility will be taken care of by your Imperial City Division. Li Jun told He Shen about his plan.
He Shen was very embarrassed after hearing this, his nephew finally got out of this big hole, and he made up for it again, the He family is still unstable if it goes on like this, but the temptation of this position is so great, if he doesn't accept it, he is reluctant.
Li Jun's cold voice came: "Don't you want to? ”
He Shen shuddered and hurriedly replied, "The old slave obeys the order." ”
Li Jun's complexion softened at this time, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you can start preparing for the affairs of the Imperial City Division from tomorrow, and the post of Da Changqiu will be handed over to Liu Hong." ”
Liu Hong jumped out of a corner and said to He Shen: "Father-in-law He, please." ”
