Chapter 32: The War of Treasure Money—Household Preparations

Yun Xi came out of the palace where Lao Zhu was, and returned to the household with the group. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The officials of the infoSichuan Division had just finished dealing with a wave of official business, and they had a little free time, Lang Zhong didn't know what he was writing on his desk, Gao Xiang was making a transfer plan, and Lang was sitting and talking with another director other than Gao Xiang.

The clerk said, "Do you think Your Majesty will agree to His Highness's plan?" ”

The principal said, "Your Majesty will not refute His Highness's opinion, after all, this is the first time that His Highness is in charge of such a big matter. ”

Yuan Wailang said: "I don't think Your Majesty will agree, after all, the investment in this plan is too large, and the issuance of treasure banknotes is so large, it is difficult to succeed." ”

The principal had to say more, and as soon as he spoke, he saw Yun Xi walking into the door of the Sichuan Division's office with a team of guards, and he was busy talking, and he stood up with the staff and bowed. Yun Xi asked the officials of the Sichuan Division to gather at the place where the meeting was held in the morning, and asked Yang Feng to call the officials of the Bao Qian Lifting Division.

Before the officials of the Treasure Money Lifting Division arrived, Yun Xi said to the officials of the Sichuan Division who were present: "Ministers, before the officials of the Treasure Money Lifting Division arrive, I will talk to you about it. His Majesty has agreed to use grain as an exchange to ensure the value of the treasure money. However, in order to ensure success, it was decided to reduce the initial exchange cities to Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and prepared to start in early October. Now there is no problem here in the capital to mobilize 90,000 stone of grain to the warehouse prepared before in ten days, right? “

Lang Zhong replied, "No problem. ”

Yun Xi continued: "Then hurry up and do it. Gao Xiang, you work hard, go to Hangzhou to inspect and supervise, be sure to complete the preparation of 90,000 stone of grain before the first day of October, and be ready to allocate another 180,000 stone of grain at any time, understand? ”

Gao Xiang replied, "Got it." ”

Yun Xi said: "Then hurry up and do it." "But it's nerve-wracking to know who to go to Suzhou next. In addition to Shangshu and Shilang, he only knows Gao Xiang alone, and he just met two hours ago, and now Gao Xiang has been sent to Hangzhou, and Suzhou can't send Shangshu and Shilang to go! But Yunxi didn't know anyone else, and he didn't know who was doing a better job, so he could only ask them. So Yun Xi asked: "Who else in this household department is so talented that he can take charge of himself and take on a big role?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Gao Xiang said: "This household department is outstanding in the matter, outstanding talent, erudite ****, Your Majesty has praised it many times, and you can be a big responsibility." ”

Yun Xi listened, who is this person? I've never heard of it either! But Yun Xi didn't have time to investigate, since someone recommended him, and Yun Xi saw that most of the other people's faces were more agreeable, so he ordered the guards to call Zhuo Jing over. After a while, Zhuo Jing came over. Stand in front of Yun Hee and salute.

Zhuo Jing, like Gao Xiang, died for Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen in the fourth year of Jianwen; And what he is even more sad is that he has an old grudge with Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Guangxiao has a few slanderous words, which led to the destruction of his three clans. But even Zhu Di, who destroyed his three clans, said: The country has been raising soldiers for 30 years, and only one Zhuo respected.

Zhuo Jing was very strange at this time. He was supervising the collection of the autumn grain tax, when suddenly a man dressed as a palace guard came and said to him, Your Highness wants to see you, come with me now. Zhuo Jing could only follow him to the office of the Sichuan Division with doubts.

When I got here, I saw that all the colleagues in the Sichuan Division were there, and it was even more strange in my heart. Of course, he knew that Yun Hee was sent to deal with the treasure money, but it had nothing to do with him, right? Is there something I have to do? Impossible. Puzzled, Yun Xi said: "Now I need to send a person who has the ability to take charge of the matter to Suzhou to inspect and supervise the local granary officials, and ensure that 90,000 stone of grain will be allocated to the warehouse for treasure money that His Majesty issued ten days ago before September 30, and guarantee that 180,000 stone of grain can be transferred to this warehouse at any time after that." Just now, the director Gao Xiang recommended you to deal with this matter, saying that you are extremely talented and erudite. How, can it be done? ”

Zhuo Jing thought for a moment and said: "It is said that the minister is extremely talented and erudite, and he is ashamed to be a ****; If it is only the work that His Highness said, the minister has confidence to complete it; But for the other ministers who don't know what is going on now, the ministers dare not say anything. ”

Yun Xi nodded, he spoke very cautiously, it seems that he is a really talented person. So he said: "For specific things, you can communicate with Lang Zhong of Sichuan Division in a while, and he will tell you what is going on." Then you set off to Suzhou and supervise this matter, and I don't have time to find anyone else now, it's up to you. Zhuo Jing could only agree.

At this time, the officials of the Treasure Money Lifting Division arrived. Yun Xi said to them, "The Treasure Money Lifting Division should also be prepared. After the exchange began in early October, it is expected that the amount of treasure money exchanged for rice at the beginning will be very large, and the treasure money lifting division should be prepared to take back the treasure copy, and temporarily store the recovered treasure money and do not use it. ”

The officials of the Treasure Money Lifting Division hurriedly agreed.

Yun Xi said a few more words, communicated a few questions, and felt that there was nothing else to do for the time being, so he said: "Okay, let's do this first, let's get busy." In addition, while they were busy, the ministers thought about how to make the people exchange less money for rice. ”

And they were commanded to retreat. Before leaving, Yun Xi looked at Zhuo Jing, and suddenly had a lot of fun, thinking: "Gao Xiang said that Zhuo Jing is a talented and erudite ****, I don't know if he understands foreign languages." So he suddenly said to Zhuo Jing: "The bridge is all horses." ”

Then the people around heard Yun Xi's words and thought in a daze: 'What did Your Highness say just now!' ’

But to Yunxi's great surprise, Zhuo Jing really stopped, and turned to him again and said, "Did Your Highness tell me to stop?" What else is commanded? ”

Yun Hee said in a questioning tone; "You can understand Japanese. Erudite ****, worthy of the name. "In this era, there are very few people who know Japanese, except for the full-time translators at Rifan Academy.

Zhuo Jing said: "Your Highness has praised it. The minister was once assigned by His Majesty to the Imperial Court to help receive the envoys from RB, and after more contact with them, he memorized a few words of how to speak Japanese. Not to be praised by His Highness. Your Highness told me to stop, is there anything else you want to tell me? ”

Yun Xi said embarrassedly: "No, I don't have anything to tell you, you go down." ”

Zhuo Jing bowed down and retreated to communicate with Lang Zhong.

Yun Xi pretended to be unable to force it today, but was grassed, very embarrassed, and hurriedly left from the household department.
