Emperor Chongzhen expressed his regret that he was not present and missed a good show - slashing people with a knife and watching others fight are completely two different concepts.

When you use a knife to cut someone, you think about how to hack the other party to death, and when you watch others fight, you worry about not splashing your own blood.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen expressed deep doubts that these powerless literati could fight blood.

After Meng Qingyuan pleaded guilty to Emperor Chongzhen, he said that Guozijian made a big joke this time, and this situation must not be tolerated, and it is best to clean up the last batch of thorns.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that Meng Qingyuan was retreating, after all, the number of students in the Guozijian who participated in the opening incident was a bit large, accounting for almost half of the number of students in the Guozijian.

But Emperor Chongzhen still complied with Meng Qingyuan's plan and said, "Who hasn't been young yet? A good reprimand is enough, but there is no need to remove the name. ”

If these prisoners are all Confucian students, let alone half of the number, even if they are all expelled, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care - how many people in the Donglin Party and the Fushe have their heads cut off, and still care about some of the prisoners of the Guozi Prison?

It's just that now there are basically some hundred schools of thought among these people, and all of them are expelled from the country, which is equivalent to letting these people go, which is unacceptable to Emperor Chongzhen.

In the Guozi Prison, you can monitor and observe nearby, which means that these people are in their own hands, and if they are expelled from the Guozi Prison, what will happen to these people?

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the doctrines of various factions grew savagely, and in the end, there were quite a few crooked, and if there was another wave of crookedness under his nose now, or even a certain round of that kind of thing, it would really be disgusting to death.

Emperor Chongzhen was too lazy to make this bet, and he couldn't control the direction of the matter in his own hands, which was a failure for an emperor.

Meng Qingyuan didn't think about it so much, as long as he could protect these prisoners of the Guozijian, as for what doctrines and knowledge they studied, it was their business, and his duty as the Guozijian priest was fulfilled.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen said again: "But these bastards are actually openly fighting in a holy place of learning like Guozijian, and they must not go unpunished. ”

Meng Qingyuan, who was secretly happy in his heart, had a headache when he heard this.

These prisoners are saved, but the punishment for turning back must not be light, otherwise there will be no way to explain to Emperor Chongzhen.

After Meng Qingyuan, who was extremely painful, responded, he bowed down and said, "The minister must strengthen the control of the prisoners of the country, and there will definitely be no such situation again." ”

Listening to Meng Qingyuan's assurance, Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said: "These bastards are in their youth, how can they easily convince people, the more they are restrained, the more unconvinced they are."

In my opinion, it is better to choose these students to debate regularly, but not to have these fights again, how about it? ”

Before he crossed over, Emperor Chongzhen had read a lot of history, especially the book "I Want to Be an Emperor", and he had read it several times.

Although I watched the happy version, I remember the debate in Shiqu Pavilion of many schools more clearly.

Since there are seniors who have played like this, there is no reason why I can't play like this.

As for saying that there is no place like Shiqu Pavilion in Daming that is suitable for debate, let alone many bigwigs from the Hundred Schools of Thought to participate, only these debates are just like to convince people with fists to participate, so what does it matter?

Venue?

Can't find a suitable place for such a big place in Daming Beijing? Not to mention the sensitive place of the Imperial Palace, it is easy to find a place outside the palace.

Big guy?

Now in addition to Confucianism, all the big guys are looking for a few big guys, and the rest of the doctrines can be picked up again is already the result of Emperor Chongzhen's painstaking planning through ten years, what big guys do you expect?

What's more, the age of these national prisoners is relatively young, and there are infinite possibilities for shaping in the future, which is much easier to fool than the bigwigs whose ideas have been solidified.

As a referee, or as a chess player, Emperor Chongzhen had plenty of opportunities to mix sand into these guys.

As for some of the unique texts hidden in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen already planned to open them to these prisoners of the country to learn very generously.

Of course, the original is not allowed to be read, but a hand-copied copy with a few sentences can be printed in large quantities and then provided to these prisoners.

And what to add to this, isn't it still Emperor Chongzhen himself who has the final say?

The original, there is no outside, they are all the only copies of the royal family's secrets, and the inside of the copy is simply tampered with with Emperor Chongzhen's wishes.

As for being discovered, there is still a possibility that this may be copied by literati ministers, but there is no problem with the dead eunuchs doing it.

Even as long as the heart is ruthless enough, these originals will be burned after the transcription is completed, and there will be no more troubles.

Presumably, there are many eunuchs who are willing to carry this pot to death.

Thinking of the eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "Go back to the country and the Ministry of Rites, find a suitable place to come out, hold a debate on various doctrines every month, quarterly, or every six months, and report back to me to know."

In addition, every time there is a debate, the cabinet and the ministries must send personnel to attend the hearing, and the celebrant sends someone to record it. ”

After sending Meng Qingyuan and Wen Tiren out of the palace, Emperor Chongzhen planned to take Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua and others to Zhongguan Village to have a look.

Now the dead eunuchs in the palace have also changed, like the famous nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who has also handed over the position of the governor of Xichang to Ma Shi, and he has gone home to retire.

But Wei Zhongxian didn't really spend much time at home, most of the time he stayed in Zhongguan Village, walking back and forth, and he didn't know why this dead eunuch liked Zhongguan Village so much.

Could it be that the eunuch has been a eunuch for a long time and has become a eunuch mentally?

But it's not right, it's true that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty don't bring a handle, but many of them deserve the title of pure masters, which is much tougher than a scholar.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still gave up the idea of going to Zhongguan Village for a stroll, just asked Wang Chengen to send someone to send some rewards, and he dressed up in disguise and went out of the palace to wander around again.

That's right, this time Emperor Chongzhen went out of the palace to plan to hang out, and he didn't have any plans for demon moths, just boring.

But when Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the restaurant he frequented, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance.

Wei Zhongxian, who was dressed as a rich man, had a fake beard on his face, and he looked disgusting with kind eyebrows, and he was also drinking a little wine in the restaurant.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen went up to the second floor, Wei Zhongxian was so shocked that he didn't even hold the cup steady, and the wine spilled all over the fake beard and clothes on his chest, but Wei Zhongxian didn't even have time to clean up, so he stood up in a hurry, bowed down and said: "The prince is coming, and the slave is not welcome, I hope the prince will forgive the sin!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "You are free now, Lao Wei, you don't need to take out the previous etiquette." Come over and have two drinks with my son. ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he first smiled and saluted Emperor Chongzhen, and then even ignored the wine and food on his table, and directly waited for Emperor Chongzhen to sit down, and hurriedly called Xiao Er to come over, which made Emperor Chongzhen laugh secretly.

No wonder Wei Zhongxian's dog thing is mixed to the high position of nine thousand years old, and this attitude towards the master alone is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

After a busy day, Wei Zhongxian carefully sat down next to the stool and asked cautiously, "How can the prince have time to come out to play today?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "Okay, okay, I said that you are now a free body, why do you want to treat yourself like a slave anymore?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "If you are a slave of the prince for one day, you will be a slave of the princess for life, and it is the duty of the slave to share the worries of the son, and I hope that the prince will not dislike it." ”

There were not many people in the restaurant on the left and right, and the distance from him was relatively far, and Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "Can the treasure money be issued again?" ”

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback by Emperor Chongzhen's words, and said in a trembling voice: "Think twice!" The treasure money is good, but the people have long disapproved of it, and it is only a disturbance to the people if it is sent out again, and this matter must not be urgent! ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "My son also knows this problem, isn't this asking if you have a way to solve it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't have eggs, but at this moment, he deeply realized the meaning of egg pain - how good is it for him to go to Zhongguan Village today? Why bother to come out and drink this little wine? Isn't it idle?

After some entanglement in his heart, Wei Zhongxian simply gritted his teeth and said: "Son, this folk does not recognize the treasure banknote, or is the treasure banknote not credit enough, it is better for the adults above the court to take the lead in using the treasure bank, and the people will naturally accept it slowly?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "Let's talk about it carefully?" ”

Wei Zhongxian really doesn't have a good impression of the officials in the court, even if the officials in the Chongzhen period are already very different from the officials in the Apocalypse period, it is not pleasing to the eye.

Now that there is an opportunity to make the ministers in the court stumbling and coaxing Emperor Chongzhen to be happy, Wei Zhongxian will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

After gritting his teeth, Wei Zhongxian said cautiously: "Prince, the ministers of the court directly have half cash and half treasure money, so they can't deny it."

When these officials get the treasure money, they will definitely not like to keep it in their hands, and they will be in a hurry to spend it, and it will be the merchants and people of the capital who will receive the treasure money.

According to the opinion of the slave and maid, it is better to use a hand and foot when collecting the commercial tax, and all those who use silver and copper coins will be charged with fire consumption, and those who use treasure money will not be charged with fire consumption.

Between this in and out, merchants must know what to collect and what not to collect, and after a long time, the people will naturally pay attention to this treasure banknote. ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou were not as long-term as Wei Zhongxian.

In later generations, there was a book of "Han Feng 1276", but I had already played it like this, and I just didn't remember it for a while, this kind of gameplay is reliable.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen began to worry about another thing: "What about the treasure banknotes issued during and before the Zhengde period?" ”

The kind expression on Wei Zhongxian's face disappeared, but instead took on a bit of ruthlessness: "Son, how long has it been since the year of Zhengde?"

There are not many folk treasure money, so naturally don't bother with it. As for those who have a large amount of treasure money in their hands, they are also officials and nobles and some big businessmen.

The matter of treasure money is related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty, and it is time to serve His Majesty, do these people dare to ask for what to say to the prince? ”

Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "What if I plan to exchange all the treasure money before the Zhengde Year?" Among them, I am afraid that a lot of fake treasure money will pop up, what should I do? ”

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a long time before he said coldly: "Son, there are not many folk treasure banknotes, over the years, countless treasure banknotes have been damaged, and the remaining estimate is that tens of millions of taels of silver is enough."

As for the problem of counterfeit banknotes that Gongzi Ye is worried about, as long as the factory guards catch a few Diao people who dare to get involved in counterfeit banknotes and deal with them strictly, it will naturally not be a problem. ”

Emperor Chongzhen is finally happy now, this time out of the palace is not in vain, if he hadn't met Wei Zhongxian, the dead eunuch, he didn't know when he would be able to think of this good way.

As for Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't expect them to come up with such a trick.

These two guys are not like those civil officials in the early Tang Dynasty, who have the backbone of a thief to come and die, and they do not have the superb means of the literati in the Song Dynasty to play the economy.

Although it is enough to be regarded as a good courtier who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, the vision of the times and their own position have always limited their imagination.

Because it is impossible for them to be like Wei Zhongxian, who cares about nothing but the emperor, and the issues they consider are far more comprehensive than when Wei Zhongxian considers the problems.

Therefore, the matter of treasure money is stuck in the cabinet and the ministries, and it cannot be solved for a while.

As Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, a demonic wind began to circulate from the palace - His Majesty the Emperor planned to issue Chongzhen treasure banknotes.

Although Emperor Chongzhen had already shouted this slogan in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the people panicked for a while, but then there was no movement.

Now, with the release of the Ming Semi-Monthly Newspaper, a mouthpiece newspaper, it has been confirmed that Emperor Chongzhen is indeed going to put this matter on the agenda.

Panic.

The bigwigs in the court are better, after all, they have a way to spend the treasure money they have received - can the store accept the treasure money in the hands of the adults? Those tenants and house slaves dare not collect treasure money?

The people are all over the country.

Treasure banknotes began to be issued in the Hongwu period to the abolition of the Zhengde period, basically in a process of continuous depreciation.

That is to say, the treasure banknotes of the consistent face value can only be worth dozens of dollars or even worthless in the end.

It's just that with the issuance of the first batch of treasure banknotes printed by the Treasure Banknote Bureau, the people found that something was wrong with this matter.
