After listening to Feng Xuanzhi's words, Tianqi felt that it made sense, and continued to ask, "What should be the specific price comparison of gold, silver coins, copper coins, grain, etc.?" What if there are big ups and downs in the price comparison? ”

Feng Xuanzhi said: "The specific price comparison concubines don't understand, the emperor can ask the officials in the court, as for the big price fluctuations, the emperor can send someone to investigate, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, there must be someone in the big fluctuation in it, after finding out, the emperor's tricks can be used." ”

Apocalypse wondered, "What tricks do I have?" ”

The queen and Feng Xuanzhi said in unison: "Raid the house." ”

Tianqi coughed lightly and said to Chunying: "Let's go, let's go to your residence and whisper for a while, don't let them teach you badly, and besides, you also need to rest." ”

The queen asked: "Do you still eat pancake rolls and green onions?" ”

Apocalypse said, "I'll come back to eat in the evening." ”

When he arrived at Chunying's house, he saw that the eunuch was busy pulling the curtain and changing the silk cloth for the window, knowing that he was afraid that Chunying would catch a cold and get sick, so he took Chunying to the next room to sit. Apocalypse held Chunying's hand and said, "Do you remember the night we watched the moon together?" ”

Chunying said: "The concubine remembers that at that time, the emperor thought that the concubine was a monster touching the forehead of the concubine. After saying that, he smiled.

Apocalypse coughed lightly and said, "I said I was looking for something, maybe it was a person, and when I started to take a nap, I dreamed that he was calling me. After speaking, he reached over and pressed Chunying's stomach to slowly sense, and after feeling it for a while, he withdrew his hand as if he didn't feel it, and looked down to see Chunying looking at him silently.

Apocalypse asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Chunying said, "I don't know what to think, I just want to look at you like this." After speaking, he gently held the hand of the apocalypse.

Apocalypse knows that a woman is more sentimental when she is pregnant with a child, and even more so for a person like Chunying who accompanies an old lady as soon as she enters the palace and is introverted. He sighed lightly, leaned over and kissed Chunying's forehead and said, "Have a good rest, I have left in advance and will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Chunying nodded reluctantly.

After coming out, he saw Wang Tiqian waiting on the side, and the apocalypse asked him to step back and ask, "What did you find out?" ”

Wang Tiqian said: "The archives of the palace records say that Feng Xuanzhi is indeed a native of Nanjing, his parents died early and were raised by his grandparents, and his grandfather was sent to the palace by his brother and sister-in-law when he was thirteen years old after his death. ”

Apocalypse asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Wang Tiqian said: "Feng Xuanzhi said that she was a family in the middle of the road before entering the palace as a palace maid, in fact, the Feng family in Jinling is now also a large family, the last time the inventory of acres of land was recorded, the Feng family has more than 80,000 acres of land. ”

Tianqi nodded, it is estimated that it is because the grandparents love the orphan brother and sister-in-law to fight for the family property, etc., this is nothing, but I am afraid that Feng Xuanzhi has a grudge and makes her personality distorted is not a good thing, she herself said that she entered the palace in the middle of the family road and did not mention a word about her brother and sister-in-law, which shows that even if she does not hate her brother and sister-in-law, she has no feelings. Thinking of this apocalypse, I can't help but sigh at the magic of money, which can easily wipe out a person's family affection and friendship. If in the past, the apocalypse would have ordered someone to send Feng Siqin away, but now it seems that she has her own children, and it will be difficult to do it.

Before going to bed at night, Tianqi told the queen about the situation, and asked her to let Sanlang play with Feng Siqin more, so that Feng Xuanzhi was open-minded, and all women were as heartless and simple as Sanlang. I just had two women, one of them was tender and the other was resentful and wise towards his family, which made Apocalypse faintly have a headache.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, King Xin sent the newly appointed assistant minister of the Government Council, Liu Yixie, to send the results of the deliberations of the representatives of all parties to see what the apocalypse had to change. In the past few days, the representatives of the six parties have met together to discuss, the representative of the palace is the newly appointed head of the internal affairs office, Tan Jing, the head of the household department, Zuo Guangdou, the head of the household department, represents the imperial court, and Li Qiyuan, the former secretary of the household department who has retired to the holy academy, was elected as the representative of the officials, and King Fu naturally represents tens of thousands of royal families, and the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and the Huguang Chamber of Commerce are their respective presidents who personally participate.

First of all, it was decided to build two houses on the land outside the Xi'an Gate and start construction on a certain day, and hang the horizontal plaques of "Daming Central Qianzhuang" and "Daming Road Commercial Bureau" sent to them by the Apocalypse after completion. The six parties hold an annual meeting every year, and each usually sends people to supervise it. There are still some miscellaneous terms such as supervision, notification, and dividends, which are swept away by the apocalypse. There are two things that deserve his attention.

One is that everyone agreed to the price comparison requirements of gold, silver, and grain specially proposed by the Apocalypse, specifically one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, one tael of silver for one stone of grain, and one tael of silver for one hanging coin, that is, a thousand copper coins. However, there are doubts about the requirement of the apocalypse to limit the fluctuation of one percent, saying that the price changes with the seasons cannot be changed by manpower, and the restriction of one percent of the fluctuation will make everyone enter and exit the money at any time and there is no profit, so it is recommended to limit it to two percent. That is to say, when one or two taels of silver appear in the market and increase in value to the point of being exchanged for 1,200 yuan, the money bank will exchange silver for copper and come back. On the contrary, if one or two taels of silver are only exchanged for 800 copper, the money village will exchange copper coins for silver, so that the exchange price can be stabilized.

The second thing that interests Tianqi is that some people propose that the current share ratio remain unchanged, but in the future, when the branches are to be established in each province, if the money is not enough, a part of the silver money can be absorbed, and the new silver money will not be used as a share dividend, but only as a regular fixed share of short-term cooperation funds.

From these two suggestions, the apocalypse can see everyone's passion for wealth, and of course, more or less greed. Tianqi looked at Liu Yixie, who was standing aside, and instructed the little eunuch to give Liu Yixiao a seat, and then asked, "What does Lord Liu think about the problem of restricting floating?" ”

Liu Yixian said: "The minister also has a view on restricting the fluctuation of prices, and the high price fluctuations are a good time for everyone to make money, and a restriction will be thankless." ”

Apocalypse sighed, he couldn't tell them the truth now, and he could understand the idea that the rich wanted to maximize their profits, but if he allowed them to harm the interests of the people to make money, his hard work would be in vain. Tianqi thought for a while and asked Liu Yixie: "Lord Liu, do you know why all dynasties from Qin Shi Huang existed for a maximum of three or four hundred years before they perished?" ”

Liu Yixian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The change of dynasties belongs to the cycle of heavenly dao, and manpower cannot be violated. ”

Tianqi smiled and said, "Then Lord Liu said when my Ming Dynasty will perish?" ”

Liu Yixiao's sweat came out all of a sudden, and he hurriedly said: "My Ming Dynasty is naturally ten thousand years old, and the way of heaven is controlled by the emperor of heaven, and the ministers are unknown to mortals." ”

Apocalypse said, "I want to know now! ”

Liu Yixiao said: "The minister can discuss the ancient times with the emperor, but the ministers dare not speak and cannot bear to listen to the rise and fall of this dynasty." ”

Apocalypse said, "Okay, you can tell me what happened to the rise and fall of the ancients. ”

Liu Yixiao said: "Tang Taizong Li Shimin said: 'With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. 'The rise and fall of the ancients is nothing more than two categories, one is the government and the accumulation of civil grievances to produce civil strife and death, such as the tyranny of Qin out of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang; Second, the national strength was sluggish, and foreign enemies invaded and died, such as the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Tianqi asked: "Let's not talk about how strong the national strength is, but just talk about the degree to which it will not arouse public resentment?" ”

Liu Yixiao said: "This minister really doesn't know, even if he can't do the road and stay overnight, at least the people should be able to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Tianqi asked: "Do you think the people of the Ming Dynasty are living and working in peace and contentment at present?" If not, does it mean that Da Ming is going to die? ”

Liu Yixiao said: "The minister does not dare to speak falsely, and the minister is stupid and asks the emperor to speak clearly." ”

Apocalypse said, "Okay, I tell you that the internal stability of the country lies in two words—gaps. ”

Liu Yixiao said blankly: "Gap? ”

Tianqi said: "When each dynasty is newly established, there are not many officials and rich households, and the gap between the common people who bear the taxes and the officials and rich households is also certain, so everyone can get along safely." Later, there were more and more officials and wealthy households, more and more land they annexed, more and more taxes that the people needed to bear, and the gap between the people and the officials and rich households became bigger and bigger. ”

Liu Yixiao said: "Then the emperor wants to reduce the gap and reduce the income of the rich? ”
