Liu Zongzhou's meaning was very clear, and the Apocalypse ordered them to study and discuss the spirit of the contract, specifically referring to the issue of merchants' shares in the Qian Zhuang and the Road Merchants Bureau. If the Holy Academy was allowed to study and discuss, why did it not wait for the results to be directly announced that it had been implemented according to the idea of the Apocalypse? Is there a skepticism about the competence and loyalty of the Holy Academy?

It seems that it can't be hidden.,You have to make an explanation for your behavior‰Use to visit this site.。 Originally, Tianqi could have pulled down his face and scolded Liu Zongzhou for two sentences, or just said that he forgot about it when he was busy, but no matter what he did, he would disappoint Liu Zongzhou. For this kind of person who is both loyal and capable, the apocalypse still has to try his best to envelop it, although this kind of person doesn't seem to be very good at observing words and feelings.

Tianqi thought carefully about the considerations at that time, and then said slowly: "Lord Liu, you can't just look at his surface when looking at a thing, but also look at his essence. When the Holy Academy was founded, I discussed a problem with Lord Liu, that is, things that are not necessarily correct cannot be made public first, let alone implemented directly□ Lord Liu also agreed with this point of view at the beginning, I wonder if Lord Liu still remembers? ”

Liu Zongzhou nodded and said: "Of course the minister remembers, the minister also remembers that the emperor said that once something that is not necessarily correct is rashly disclosed, it will inevitably be accepted, because the people's ability to discriminate is very weak." Once one day it is discovered that something that is not necessarily right is wrong, then no amount of time and money can be spent to undo the impact. ”

Tianqi nodded and said, "Lord Liu has a good memory, and things that can't be judged right or wrong can't be made public, so can they be implemented?" I don't think so. As long as everything exists, it has a reason for its existence, and the direct implementation of what is not necessarily right will affect or even replace what already exists. One side is not necessarily right, the other party has his reason for existence, replace things with things that are not necessarily correct, this is a risky move ♀, the most appropriate behavior is to stop and let things return to their existing state, at this time it is better to be still than to move, I don't know if Lord Liu agrees with me? ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "Although the emperor said it more roundly, the minister can understand and agree with the emperor's view that stillness is better than movement. ”

Apocalypse was in a relaxed mood at this time, and said, "Isn't this enough?" I directly ordered the three big families to preach, seeing that it was a move, but it was actually a quiet□ adults think about it, at that time, several ministers of the Government Council, including King Xin and Lord Ye Xianggao Ye, they all said that they wanted to take the opportunity to recover the shares in the hands of this big businessman, and their idea was to change it. At this time, the shares are in the hands of a few big households, and my will is only to prevent them from moving the idea of calming things down, and I am in line with the saying that it is better to be still than to move, does Lord Liu agree? ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "The emperor's statement of movement and stillness is very innovative, and the ministers are relieved to understand it, it seems that it is not the ability and loyalty of the ministers that are suspected by the emperor, this matter is the minister's self-guess." However, the minister felt a little incomprehensible about the emperor's idea of letting the businessman endanger the shares in his hands, seeing that the money village and the road merchant bureau were beginning to make profits, the emperor not only did not want to gradually drive out these parasites, but wanted to give them hereditary treatment, so that their descendants would climb on the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, how did this be considered? ”

Tianqi was depressed, and he knew from the beginning that explaining a question would lead to a second or even a third problem, but he was lucky and thought that it would not be like this, who knew that Liu Zongzhou naturally turned the corner. I don't know if there will be other issues involved after explaining it now, let's go step by step first, anyway, if you don't make sense of such a dead brain, he will always be worried.

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "I won't say much about the spirit of the contract, I heard a while ago that the big merchants made people panic because of this matter, I did this to give them a reassuring pill, there are only benefits and no harm, and I also said at the beginning that the shares in their hands bring more benefits to the court than they get themselves." For now, I'll just say two other reasons why they continue to exist in the Money Village and the Road Merchant Bureau. One is that they have a lot of silver in their hands, and it is not practical for them not to use the silver in their hands; Second, the imperial court will need a large amount of silver to do a lot of things in the future. ”

Gao Panlong said at this time: "Yes, these people have a large amount of silver in their hands, and the price will increase if they buy anything, even if they don't buy it and put it there, it is scary, it is better to find some place for them to arrange for everyone to worry, so that the court will not have to take precautions ♀ against them at any time, just like controlling the water, it is better to block it than to dredge, the water is easy to become flooded in the river, and it is just right to pour it in the crops that have been dry for a long time." But will the future affairs of the imperial court be inseparable from these merchants? Can't you rely on the power of the court itself to do things? ”

Tianqi looked at Gao Panlong and thought: "The first half of this sentence is still helping me to speak, and the second half of the sentence is like making trouble, who are you helping?" ”

After thinking about it, he said: "The imperial court can do things on its own, and it is enough to live within its means, but it will be very slow, because the current financial resources of the imperial court are still very weak, and it is said that they are not as rich as some old rich people." Involving large merchants will speed up the progress, and it can also spread deeply, and the risk sharing will be beneficial to the imperial court. If you think about it, in military affairs, it is necessary to build sailors, but also to form cavalry that can fight against the Jurchens in the field, and in terms of military affairs, it is necessary to dredge canals, to promote drought-tolerant food crops, to build roads to the provinces, states and counties, and to increase the income of officials, all of which require a lot of silver. ”

Gao Panlong said: "Aren't all post roads open now? Why did the emperor think that he still had to build roads? ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "The current road can't be called a road at all, I heard that big pits and small potholes can be seen everywhere, and the road is covered with water and collapsed countlessly, people say that it is sunny and gray, rainy, and mud∞ which means that all the roads should be built clean, so that people feel very smooth to walk on it, and the carriage does not feel bumpy on it." When the time comes, the tall man will be empty and want to go to several famous mountains for a visit, and he will not be afraid of shaking and hurting his bones. Not only that, but I also planned to build several highways dedicated to fast horses and carriages, which were specially used to transport troops, grain, and silver, so that the transfer of people and goods would be very fast, and it would also strengthen the imperial court's management of the local area and avoid rebellion. ”

Liu Zongzhou frowned at this time and asked, "The emperor has let the merchants participate all the time, so doesn't he care that they have more and more silver?" I am afraid that it is not a good thing for them to have a lot of money in their hands. ”

Tianqi smiled and said: "To do business, you must have more and more silver before someone can do it, and the more you do business, the less silver you have, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite people." But most of them are relative to their previous numbers∞ there is a saying, you know, don't spread it, these merchants because there is a maximum profit cap of 20%, so the increase rate of silver in their hands is definitely not comparable to the increase rate of the imperial court's inventory, and it is definitely not comparable to the increase ♀ rate of the total amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Liu Zong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "The emperor said that they will increase less and the imperial court will increase more and more, if this is the case, it must be good, but how can this be done?" ”

Apocalypse spread his hands and said, "How to do this is a matter for you to consider, at this point you are both a participant, a referee and a rule-maker, if you still can't do this, then I have nothing to say." ”

Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong nodded silently when they heard this.

At this time, Tianqi said leisurely: "In this posting of tabloids dissatisfied with me, the matter of the big merchants is finished, and the matter of the officials who have dissatisfied opinions is also finished, and now it is time to talk about your Donglin Academy." ”

Gao Panlong hurriedly said: "Those two people who don't know the height of the sky, the ministers have already reprimanded them, and the emperor should deal with them now." ”

Apocalypse said, "I have heard a saying that God will forgive young people for their mistakes, as long as they are within the limits of forgiveness. They are not rebelling, and I am the Son of Heaven, so I have forgiven them a long time ago. Now what I want to talk about is the purpose of Donglin Academy, and you can go back and discuss it after I finish speaking. ”
