Chapter 377: Thoughts
It is an eternal truth that political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
Ye Xun still has a lot to do, but first of all, Liaodong can't be chaotic, because that's where his foundation is.
The capital can't be chaotic either, because all the decrees must be issued here, so it will definitely be under Ye Xun's absolute leadership.
Although Ye Xun's tone of voice was calm, Zhang Weixian still heard Ye Xun's determination.
sighed and said, "The old man has thought of a compromise, I don't know if you kid can agree?" ”
Under Ye Xun's quiet gaze, he continued: "It is up to you to send officers to conduct training in the Beijing camp, but there is a premise, that is, you must not pursue the past, if you are willing to agree, the old man will immediately arrange for your subordinates to be stationed in each battalion."
Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Old Guogong, I think you have misunderstood, I had no intention of pursuing the past, and besides, my purpose is to train soldiers, not to seize power."
Zhang Weixian is not old and confused, he really wants to ask Ye Xun, is there any difference between your so-called training and seizing power?
Zhang Weixian is old after all, as a veteran soldier, what he wants to see most is that the Ming army can be invincible and become an iron army that can protect the family and defend the country again.
But this hope obviously cannot be realized in his hands, since this is the case, let this little eunuch fulfill this dream!
After the two studied some details of the Liaodong Army's entry into Beijing, Zhang Weixian was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Xun.
"Old man, there is still a reluctant request below, I wonder if the old man can agree?"
Zhang Weixian couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "Do you still have a time to ask for an old man?" It's really the sun coming out in the west, let's talk about it, the old man can't wait."
Ye Xun also smiled and said: "That's the case, the kid will get married next month, and there is still a lack of a weighty witness, I don't know if the old man can give in?" ”
Zhang Weixian: "Haha! He smiled and said, "What should I do?" The old man agreed, not only agreed, but the three girls would be a righteous daughter to the old man! ”
When Ye Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he knew very well that several girls married him, and their identity has always been a problem for them, and now that they are good, they have become the righteous daughters of the British duke, and this identity has been whitewashed at once.
He bowed and said, "Thank you, Lao Guogong"
"Hey! I'm afraid this is the first time you've thanked the old man sincerely! Haha"
Zhang Weixian said and turned to leave.
Looking at Zhang Weixian's back, Ye Xun couldn't say what it was like in his heart, and it could be said that he hadn't seen through this old man until now.
Let's say that he is cunning and cunning, at the critical moment, he has never missed the line, but if you want to say how loyal and patriotic he is, it seems a bit far-fetched, because he knows Ye Xun very well, if he is a loyal minister, then he should definitely resolutely resist Ye Xun, but he didn't.
Now he took the initiative to give away the Beijing camp, and also recognized Ye Xun's concubine as a righteous daughter, which is what a loyal minister of the Zhu family should do?
After sending Zhang Weixian away, Ye Xun was about to go back to the back house to have a look, when a guard came quickly, handed him a secret report, gave him a salute and turned to leave.
Ye Xun opened the secret report and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"Come on, ask Zhang Quan and Master Zhang to come to see me"
Early the next morning, a piece of news that came out of nowhere quickly spread throughout the court, that is, the officials were going to increase their salaries.
The salaries of Ming officials have always been the lowest, otherwise there would not be so many corrupt officials who flocked to the guillotine after their predecessors.
I don't know where the news came from, what is said is the nose and the eye, what officials at each level will rise, how to pay, and how to keep up with the officials in Liaodong, and so on.
The mouth of the speaker was foaming at the mouth, and the listener was overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks, as if the money was about to be sent to his pocket.
This matter is under the control of the household department, so the eyes of the officials are focused on Zhang Quan.
And some officials who know the state of the treasury secretly sneered and raised their salaries? The treasury is almost ready to run mice, what to use? It's just trying to attract people's hearts.
The so-called sparkling gold, there are more people who say it, and slowly the fake will become true.
After Shao Fuzhong was dismissed, the new cabinet writer was Li Zhiwen, and it was Ye Xun's wedding in a few days.
"It is worthy of Gonggong Ye of Liaodong, a paper order has solved the livestock problem that has plagued the Gyeonggi area for a long time, and the people of the Gyeonggi area will definitely be grateful for the kindness of Gonggong Ye."
Li Zhiwen began the opening remarks of today's meeting, and then changed the conversation and continued: "This official used to be in charge of the household department, and he knew that the treasury was tight, and although the livestock problem was solved at present, there were too many places that needed money in a huge country. What is Zhang's plan for this? ”
Zhang Quan smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Li is old and seeks the country, and the officials admire it, there is one thing that Lord Li probably doesn't know yet, Gonggong Ye has ordered the Liaodong Mint Bureau to escort five million new silver coins to the capital, and when these silver coins arrive, the problems that Lord Li said will not be a problem."
After listening to Zhang Quan's words, except for Cheng Yu and Yuan Yingtai, several other people were stunned.
What kind of play is Liaodong Mint? And as soon as he made a move, it was five million silver coins, and this Ye Xun was really rich enough!
In the past, the silver coins of Liaodong were only circulated among a small number of people, because of the excellent workmanship, as soon as they appeared, they were collected, so it is rare to see this kind of silver coins on the market.
This time, Ye Xun made a move of five million, no need to ask, Ye Xun is going to completely control the economy of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Quan took in everyone's expressions, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, if it weren't for Gonggong Ye's foresight, I'm afraid I would really be embarrassed by you bastards.
Wang Yin hurriedly said: "How can Liaodong mint money privately"
Before he finished speaking, he quickly closed his mouth, Liaodong was promised to Ye Xun by the emperor himself, let alone minting coins, Ye Xun did something more daring than this, do you still have the ability to investigate what?
Li Zhiwen laughed dryly and continued: "Since Gonggong Ye has already asked, then there is no need to worry about this matter, this year's Spring Festival is approaching, what are the opinions of several adults on the candidates for the examiner?" ”
Before Li Bei's words fell, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who rarely spoke, answered: "You might as well ask Gonggong Ye about this matter, anyway, his old man is omnipotent."
What he said was obviously ironic, Li Zhiwen glanced at Cheng Yu and the others, his face sank, and he deliberately said: "Lord Yang, pay attention to what you say, don't pull everything on Gonggong Ye."
Yang Sichang stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Adults, there are so many major national affairs, have you really put your mind on governing state affairs?" Hum! Such a cabinet is not included."
After Yang Sichang finished speaking, he really flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Li Zhiwen and Wang Yin and others looking at each other, and said in their hearts, Didn't this buddy take the wrong medicine this morning? Why is it so angry?
