Let's go back to Yoon-hee. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yun Xi came to the household early on the morning of the 20th. Yun Xi came to the household department and was only responsible for the work related to the treasure banknote. So I came to say hello to Shangshu Zhao Mian and Zuo Shilang Fu Youwen (the right Shangshu has not yet been assigned), and went straight to the yamen of the Sichuan Division (at this time, there was no Yunnan and Guizhou Provincial Division). The Lang Zhong of the Sichuan Division, the Wai Lang, the Principal, and the Treasure Money Lifting Division and other officials are not left behind, and they are all waiting there.

Yun Xi arrived, said hello to everyone first, and everyone sat down in groups. Then he didn't talk nonsense: "Officials of the household department, I came today to deal with the matter of treasure money. I know that there are a lot of things in the household, and you are all very busy. In particular, the SC Division, directly under the state government health offices, grain and grass warehouses, and most of the country's banknotes are under the jurisdiction of the SC Division. So today, let's do everything we can now, and save trouble in the future. ”

After a pause, he took a sip of tea and continued: "On the tenth day, the imperial grandfather issued an edict ordering all banknotes to allow merchants to pay half of the taxes and fees with treasure money, has this been conveyed? ”

One of the directors present hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, in addition to the General Secretary issuing His Majesty's will, our company has also issued an order. ”

"Then the banknotes near the capital have received orders."

"Back to Your Highness, that's right. And all the banknotes of Ying Tianfu had already received their orders on the 12th. ”

Yun Xi glanced at the officials in the audience and asked, "Then, how is the implementation of each banknote?" Are there any that have not yet been implemented? ”

The chief sweated on his forehead and replied, "Your Highness, the ministers, etc., have not yet inspected and sent a letter to inquire, so they do not know. ”

Yun Xi glanced at all the officials again, and said, "Your Majesty's will has been issued for ten days, and it has been eight days since the decree was received by the various banknotes of the Heavenly Mansion, and you haven't even sent a letter to ask!" Yun Hee involuntarily amplified the volume.

The officials present were all frightened, and although everyone was still sitting in their seats, many of them were trembling with fear. They are not afraid of Yunxi, but afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang. If Yun Xi gets angry and goes back to talk to Lao Zhu about their performance, he belittles them a little, and it is indispensable for them to go to Liaodong to open up wasteland on the charge of 'dereliction of duty'. And the news they inquired about from the military department was that Yun Xi basically didn't get angry, so he was very scared when he saw Yun Xi getting angry.

Yun Xi saw that they were so scared, it was very strange! 'I have so much deterrence?' Yun Xi felt strange in his heart. However, although he didn't know why they were so scared, he knew that he had solved the problem, and it was not okay to let them look like this. So he lowered his voice, slowed down his voice and said, "I also know that you are very busy, but if you don't have time to go down to inspect, you can always send a letter to ask." Since I haven't sent a letter to ask before, I'm sending a letter now. ”

The scene immediately stood up and went to send a letter. Yunxi thinks their work attitude is okay. If the civil officials were like this at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished. Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi continued to ask, "Have you done the matter of reducing the amount of treasure banknotes?" ”

The envoy of the Treasure Money Lifting Division immediately replied: "Your Highness, the printing volume has been reduced by fifty percent. ”

Yun Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Grandpa Huang ordered the establishment of a separate granary, are we set up near the capital?" ”

Lang Zhong replied: "The place has been found, and there are still spare warehouses in the city gate warehouse. Personnel have been allocated, but food has not yet been allocated. In addition, His Majesty's decree does not say how much grain is to be allocated to this warehouse, so it is impossible to determine how much grain should be allocated. I am going to ask about the excerpt. ”

Yun Xi asked, "Do you know why Your Majesty set up such a granary?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in disknowledgement.

Yun Hee said: "It was set up to change the banknote law. Then, he repeated the idea of the material-based system that he had told Lao Zhu that day to the officials of the Sichuan Division.

The officials of the Sichuan Division were shocked! In particular, they themselves are potential users of the treasure banknote. Now the salaries of officials during the Hongwu period were paid in rice, white flour or copper coins, and the depreciation of treasure money did not affect their wages (Zhu Di used to pay wages in treasure money during his reign, and the so-called regular money also began to appear in the Yongle Dynasty), but they still hoped that the credit of treasure money would be higher and not always depreciated. After all, it is impossible to bring food when people go home to carry things, and it is not safe to carry money; If the treasure money can not depreciate, it will be more convenient for people to take the treasure money home. And Yun Xi's strategy is not to say that it will definitely ensure that the treasure money will not depreciate, but it is better than Yun Xi, they are the officials of the household department, can they not know how much silver money there is in the treasury! So they support Yoon-hee. They all spoke in agreement. Anyway, it's all kinds of sycophants, so I won't say much.

Yun Xi quietly watched them pat their ass, and when there was gradually no sound, he returned to the topic and said: "So let's take a good total of how much grain is appropriate for this granary." How many people do you expect to come and exchange money for food? ”

Another principal replied: "In the early days of the opening, the people still had doubts, and it is likely that many people will come to exchange food. At this time, there must be no limit to the quantity, and it must be open for redemption. There are many wealthy households in the capital, and there are also many citizens, so it would be better if other cities started exchanging at the same time; If only the capital starts first, people from the surrounding Suzhou and other places may also come to redeem it. Well, most of the first 10 days will fill up every day. If ten openings are opened for the exchange of rice, and one person is allowed to exchange the same banknotes, each person shall be exchanged for one stone and a half of rice. One minute for one stone and half a meter, one hundred and eighty stone meters for an hour, one thousand eight hundred stone meters for ten hours a day, and a total of eighteen thousand stone meters for ten mouths. To prepare for ten days, 180,000 stone meters are needed. As he spoke, the principal was frightened by the results of his calculations.

Yun Xi was also frightened. It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. This is just one city in the capital, just 18,000 stone a day, to open ten cities, that day is 180,000 stone, ten days is 1.8 million stone. Yun Xi doesn't care about himself, it's just that Lao Zhu may not be able to bear such a big price. Yun Xi began to think about how to persuade Lao Zhu to agree to such a big investment, and the scene fell silent for a while.

Yun Xi then reacted, thinking about how to convince Lao Zhu is to think about later, and now it is time to prepare a plan first. Yun Xi glanced at the principal again, the calculation process was very smooth! It is worth paying attention to. So he asked, "What's your name?" ”

The chief replied, "The minister's name is Gao Xiang. "Yun Xi has never heard of it, there is no history book, but there were so many officials in ancient times, it is normal for someone to be drowned in the vast sea of officials.

Yun Xi didn't know that in the original history, Gao Xiang died for Emperor Jianwen, and the whole clan was destroyed by Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also asked people to dig Gao Xiang's ancestral grave, and let all the people who were related to Gao Xiang go to the border. Zhu Di, who lacked virtue, also ordered a tax increase for the wealthier people with high surnames in the world, so that they would scold Gao Xiang for generations.

Yun Xi came back and said: "In this case, you prepare first, and then I will go to ask the imperial grandfather, so that if the imperial grandfather agrees, you can transfer it immediately, understand?" ”

The officials should arrive: "Yes." ”

Yun Xi got up and said, "Then I'll be here first today." Then he turned and walked out of Sichuan's room.

Yun Xi walked out of the house with the guards. He thought that he would be able to solve the matter quickly today, but it led to such a big problem. Yun Xi had to change his original plan and go back to the palace to find Lao Zhu for an idea.
