Chapter 253 Some Things Need to Be Decided After All
I really can't talk about money, and it hurts my feelings when I talk about money.
Anyway, the water is too cold and it's time to collapse.
He worked hard and could be said to have exhausted his efforts to seek satisfaction with Li Zicheng in Chang'an, and finally relied on the ability of Zhang Yi Su Qin to finally impress this demon and make him agree to let go of Longxing Tianzi and return the capital......
Fifteen million stones.
As long as there are four million stone of grain and seven million taels of silver left after discount, which will be transported to Luoyang before the arrival of this winter, then the Son of Longxing will be able to spend the Spring Festival in Nanjing. Although several of his younger brothers have to continue to stay in Chang'an as hostages, that is no longer important, everyone understands that Longxing Tianzi will not pay protection money for his younger brothers. It can be said that as long as there is this batch of grain and silver, Yang Qing's good days will come to an end, and the people in the court and the central government will be able to straighten their waists and be people, and the people of Jiangnan will also be able to see the light in the shadow of this demon.
However......
Who's going to pay for that!
If the Jiangnan gentry were so generous, they wouldn't let Li Zicheng enter Beijing!
They don't even like to pay taxes!
"Marquis Zhongyong, what is the field system after the Ming Dynasty?"
The representative of the Huguang department, the current Hubu Shilang, Zhang Juzheng's grandson, originally worshipped Qu Shiyun as a teacher in history, and Zhang Tongchang, who was drinking wine and waiting for death in the Guilin Yamen with his teacher, followed Song Yingxing and asked.
"No change!"
Yang Qing said.
"Guantian is still Guantian, private land is still private land!"
He then added.
He was not ready to directly throw out the forced public land, what he wanted was to gradually complete the encirclement of the landlords with time and the way of the Huangzhuang erosion step by step. At the same time, they were attracted by industry and commerce and foreign colonization to transfer their land, so that the land could be turned into chicken ribs and gradually acquired by the state, so that the public land could be completed little by little in a few decades.
It is definitely not possible for Jia to go directly to the Gongtian Law in the style of Dao.
That's too radical.
Song Yingxing and Zhang Tong smiled with satisfaction.
This is fine, this can make the hometown fathers and elders satisfied, if you don't have to pay money, the gentry of Huguang Jiangxi may follow the Donglin Qunxian to wave the flag and shout something, but when it comes to money, don't talk nonsense. This kind of investment is very risky, everyone understands that it is the return of Longxing Tianzi, and the hope of fighting Yang Qing is also very slim, when the money is paid, the qualification to ride the wall is gone, and then Longxing Tianzi and Donglin Qunxian fail, so who are they crying to? As long as Yang Qing doesn't continue to worry about the gentry's land, but just restores the original official land, then make do with it! After all, this guy has a strong ability to engage in the economy, although those landlords have suffered losses, but they are not impossible to make up for it, for example, now the industry and mining industry is becoming more and more prosperous, and even Huguang has begun to open its own salt wells, there is no need to get involved in the whirlpool of struggle for this kind of thing.
After all, they are different from Donglin Qunxian.
Donglin Qunxian were vested interests in the imperial court, and they could not tolerate the reform of the imperial examination, because the reform of the imperial examination would push them out of the core of power step by step.
This is unbearable for them.
But there are only a few officials from Huguang Jiangxi in the imperial court! Not to mention the imperial court, even the vast majority of local officials are Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials, of course, there are many in Jiangxi, the total number of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty is the first in the south, the second in Zhejiang, and the third in Jiangxi. After Chongzhen's southern crossing, a large number of Nanzhi and Zhejiang's former ministers were used, which made the proportion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials even heavier.
This has already made other provinces feel that they are ruled by Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
At least that's the case with Huguang, Fujian, and Yungui.
Although Jiangxi is shaking, but to the point where it can't be shaken, after all, I still feel that it is more reliable to fall to Yang Qing, after all, Donglin Academy is in Wuxi, they can only be regarded as a vassal of the Donglin Party after all, and with Jiang Riguang's old qualifications, they just made a squire. In addition to Yuan Jixian and Gao Hongtu, the other four Shangshu and the vast majority of the waiters are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yuan Jixian's Ministry of Industry is actually still set aside by two Jiangsu and Zhejiang waiters.
On the contrary, after the fall of the Donglin Party, Jiangxi officials will be given the opportunity to rise......
The eldest and second have fallen, and of course the third is about to take the position.
In this way, Yang Qing easily disintegrated the gentry alliance.
It can't be said that he collapsed, he doesn't think he has that much energy, his hand can't really reach the grassroots in these places, and it is the fifteen million stones that disintegrate the alliance. This kind of rabble alliance is resolutely not allowed to talk about money, and if you talk about money, it will definitely hurt your feelings, so isn't it a joke to let the gentry raise this huge amount of money to welcome the emperor? When his father wanted to collect some taxes from us, we didn't agree, and now he wants us to pay for him?
Or do you pay so much?
Isn't that purely funny?
Hurry up and break up!
"Mu Zhai Gong is still too naïve!"
After the meeting, Yang Qing held the wine glass and sighed with a deep emotion.
"You really don't welcome Your Majesty?"
Song Quan asked tentatively.
"Welcome, of course I will, but some things haven't been done yet, I'll welcome you when it's done, Brother Yugong, don't worry, I won't be sorry for the emperor!"
Yang Qing said.
Song Quan and Gao Hongtu Lu Zhenfei exchanged glances, then nodded and left, these people who regard themselves as Chongzhen's cronies, although they have no choice but to form an alliance with Yang Qing, but after all, they still have to protect the Ming Dynasty. If Yang Qing is too out of line on this issue, they will also oppose it, after all, it is not right for the household department and the inner treasury to not have a little silver.
Of course, Yang Qing will definitely pay.
He can unite his own group, and he can get those old ministers from the north to support him, including Huang Degong, Zhang Mingzhen, and even Zheng Zhilong, and even generals like Zheng Zhilong can support him, in addition to interests, there is also a great righteousness that he is the protector of Chongzhen's descendants. Even if this descendant is just a big and a small princess, but the princess is in charge of the country, and the son of Longxing is in Chang'an, this Daming country is still a descendant of Chongzhen, without Yang Qing's protection, then this Daming country will belong to someone else, which is why Wang Chengen and these people did not hesitate to stand with him at the beginning. Otherwise, whether King Fu or King Lu succeeds to the throne, it is not after Chongzhen, without his protection, the Ming Dynasty is indeed not broken, but Chongzhen's inheritance can be broken, for Song Quan, these old ministers, supporting Yang Qing is to ensure that Chongzhen's inheritance continues.
This is a kind of righteousness of the monarch and the minister.
It's a loyalty.
But if Yang Qing doesn't welcome the Son of Heaven, then these people's support for his righteousness will be gone, which is very important......
In fact, they are self-hypnosis.
Everyone understands that this girl is not a good thing.
But everyone's interests are a community, and they, the northerners, live in the south, and can continue to maintain high-ranking officials under the erosion of southern ministers, because they have a powerful minister in this community who controls the government. Without the protection of this minister, they would have let the ministers of southern origin kick aside, whether it is Gao Hongtu's Hubu Shangshu or Song Quan's Zhili governor, which one is the fat difference in the eyes of the southern ministers, without Yang Qing's protection, it is simply a joke that they want to occupy these positions.
So they need to hypnotize themselves.
And this righteousness can make them cling to this powerful minister with peace of mind.
Even if they know what it really is.
However, Yang Qing will still welcome Zhu Cihong, but he is also a married concubine, and he has to wait for Zhu Cihong to officially marry Princess Kunxing to him, this is the second year of Longxing, and he can officially marry the princess in more than a year. Since there is no longer his father-in-law, and Concubine Yuan's level is too low, Zhang Yan is an aunt after all, so she has to be presided over by her eldest brother in person.
But not yet.
"Are you really going to pay for it?"
Li Yutian leaned over and said cautiously.
"Of course not, but I'll fix it, but not now, what we need to do now is watch the excitement first."
Yang Qing said.
"Wouldn't it be better to just leave it alone?"
Li Yutian said.
Now Yang Qing's excuse is that the household department has no money and the money from the inner treasury is given to Zhang Yan to repair the palace, this excuse is very sufficient, the household department is indeed out of money, not that it is given to the representatives of the four people, and the representatives of the four people only spend a few. It is normal for institutions like household departments to have no money, and although there were hardly any battles last year, the subsidies given to officials, especially the infrastructure construction in various localities, cost money. While building backbone roads and bridges, and building access towers with Nanjing as the core, highways that can drive four-wheeled carriages are also being built, as well as the construction of water conservancy facilities and the dredging of inland waterway shipping, all of which cost money, and the dredging of those silted rivers and the maintenance of those dangerous bridges in the Guangjiang South Water Network is a huge amount of money.
Yang Qing is indeed not in the mood for war, but he is now keen on infrastructure construction.
As for the money in the inner treasury......
It was impossible to use that at all, because those gold and silver were the banknote issuance margin of the Imperial Bank, and Yang Qing had to have a large amount of security deposit to issue banknotes with free exchange. In fact, his own, his inner treasury, and those of his henchmen had hoarded nearly 10 million taels of gold and silver in the Imperial Bank, and at this time there were more than 5 million yuan of paper money in circulation.
This thing is the basis of finance, and it cannot be used in any way.
Then it is undoubtedly best to ignore this matter.
The only impact is to damage Yang Qing's image as a loyal minister, but this is not a big deal at all, how can he care about this with his strength, not to mention that the people of the Ming Dynasty have a fart feeling for the Son of Longxing, but they have deep feelings for the Loyal and Yonghou. No matter what he does at this time, even if it is to usurp the throne by himself, the vast majority of the people will cheer for him, and the vast majority of the military generals will also support it, even if the generals oppose it, those ordinary soldiers will definitely support him. At most, the scholars scolded him, but even if he didn't seek to usurp the throne, the scholars didn't scold him less, so they didn't need to care about the image at all.
"No, I'll bring him back, I have a way to solve the silver, remember, some things need to be settled after all."
Yang Qing said.
Li Yutian nodded knowingly.
It is estimated that this kind of smart person is thinking crookedly. (https:)
