Chapter 158: The Banknote Pass is established
The next day, at the morning meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After hearing Zhu Youzhen's idea of setting up a banknote gate at Chongwen Gate, the Manchu officials were in an uproar, and then discussed in private.
This has harmed the interests of many people. In today's imperial court, which official's family is not doing business?
Not all the officials in the capital are in high positions. Chongwenmen banknote customs, those high-ranking officials and relatives of lords, their trucks can indeed be tax-free when they pass through the customs. But for other officials, they still have to pay customs duties on their cars. Isn't the addition of commercial tax to the detriment of one's own interests?
No, you must resolutely oppose it!
Wen Tiren got Zhu Youzhen's orders, so he naturally had to stand up and support him first.
Before everyone came back to their senses and spoke out against it, he had already come out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is feasible to increase the banknote customs and increase the commercial tax!" ”
When the officials heard this, they cursed in their hearts: "How could this old fox speak out in support? ”
Wen Tiren naturally knew their thoughts, but he had been instructed by Zhu Youzhen and had to speak out to support them. Besides, he is the only one who supports it, and if the officials oppose it, this money will not be opened, so there is nothing to worry about.
It was at this moment that an unexpected scene occurred.
I saw that Xue Guoguan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Some of the imperial historians of his faction had already been instructed, and they knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”
The rest of those who didn't hear the news, seeing that their leaders all expressed their support, although they were still confused, they didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
This frightened Zhu Youzhen, he just asked Wen Tiren to stand up and support, how could there be so many officials who also agreed with this matter? Don't they shout every day that they "will not compete with the people"?
Wen Tiren was also depressed in his heart, what kind of mess did this Xue Guoguan come out to make? My support is forced to be helpless, what are you doing when you come out?
Fortunately, there are still discordant sounds.
Zhang Zhifa, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University, said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is not appropriate!" ”
Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting above, raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”
Although he knew that it would displease the saints, for the sake of his own interest group, Zhang Zhifa had to speak out against it. At this time, I had to reply: "Back to Your Majesty, now the taxes of Chongwenmen are too onerous, if you add another banknote customs, I am afraid that it will cause public resentment to boil!" The minister thinks that the saint is the son of heaven and should not compete with the people for profit, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice! ”
"The Holy Lord is the Son of Heaven, and he should not compete with the people for profit, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
This time, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell to their knees and resolutely opposed the matter.
Li Biao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is upright and understands the opposition of these people. However, he himself was not very in favor of the addition of banknotes, but he did not make a statement.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Youzhen sneered in his heart, if the Manchu Dynasty was all against this matter, maybe he would be shaken. But now some people have expressed their support, but this Zhang Zhifa jumped out to make trouble, which didn't affect his decision, but made him unhappy.
He sat upright on the dragon chair, and when he saw that no one spoke again, he said loudly: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to discuss this matter again!" ”
North Town Fuji.
What happened in the court, someone had already rushed to report to Luo Yangxing at this moment.
When he learned that such a fat difference in the banknote customs actually fell into the hands of Li Xiuwen, Luo Yangxing was speechless for a while.
"This bastard boy has made a good errand quietly, and I don't even know it!"
It's no wonder he's a little depressed, such an errand would make anyone blush. Although he also belongs to Jinyiwei, Li Xiuwen is still his subordinate, but the errand that Nanzhen took over has nothing to do with him!
But after thinking about it, Luo Yangxing was relieved. With the relationship between his sister-in-law and Li Xiuwen, it is better to let him get rid of this errand than to give it to the celebrant or other yamen to control.
He has already subconsciously regarded Li Xiuwen as his sister-in-law.
Nanzhen Fuji.
Li Xiuwen arrived at the yamen early today and waited patiently for news.
Although according to his own estimates, this matter is eighty percent certain, but he is still apprehensive. After all, the "Qingliu" officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not vegetarians. If Zhu Youzhen's attitude is not resolute enough, it is possible that this matter will be yellow.
At noon, someone came to the palace.
It was Li Xiuwen's old acquaintance, Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen handed over the paperwork for opening the banknote customs to him, and said with a smile: "The emperor said, let you do things well." ”
Li Xiuwen nodded hurriedly, and while taking the paperwork, a piece of silver had already fallen from his hand and secretly fell into Wang Chengen's cuff.
Wang Chengen glanced at him, raised his hand slightly, and the ingot of silver rolled down into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, but the smile on his face became even brighter. He reminded: "The officials are all against this matter, Lord Zhenfu has to be careful, and our family will go back to the palace." ”
Sure enough, it's easy to do things!
Li Xiuwen already knew at this moment that the person in front of him was the famous Wang Chengen in history.
Although he accompanied Zhu Youzhen to martyrdom, he also admired such integrity. But he was also a human being, and he was also a eunuch. It is natural that you will receive some small favors in daily contacts, after all, no one is perfect!
No, if you please him, won't you get a reminder from him?
After sending Wang Chengen away, Li Xiuwen came to Xu Jiang and said with a smile: "There is work to do, from tomorrow, our Nanzhen Fusi will add a banknote gate in Chongwen Gate, you go and gather everyone to announce this." ”
Chongwen Gate banknote? That's a big deal!
Nominally, the Chongwenmen banknote belongs to the Ministry of Households. But in fact, this customs is a lot of taxes, and it is controlled by the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies. Such a big thing as adding a banknote gate would actually fall on Nanzhen's head?
Xu Jiang was a little incredulous, and only came back to his senses after being stunned for a long time, and responded excitedly, so he went out to gather people and announce such good news.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the courtyard outside the door. Li Xiuwen vaguely heard someone outside shouting something like "follow the Zhenfu Lord and have meat to eat", and he couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
At this moment, I'm afraid that many people are red-eyed, right?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The civil and military officials were already resolutely opposed to the opening of the banknote customs in Chongwenmen, but now they heard that it was Nanzhen who took over the merits, and they were even more angry, and they all opposed this matter.
The only difference is that this time most of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate remained silent. All this is only because of Xue Guoguan's attitude.
This time, Xue Guoguan's actions made many people unable to understand. Okay, what kind of boxing method is this that you Lord Xue are fighting? If you want to say that this additional money will not harm your interests, but you don't care about the people below you? When did you, Lord Xue, stand on the side of Jinyiwei?
After many people dispersed, they all gathered around Xue Guoguan to ask, but they did not get a positive answer from him.
After returning home, Xue Guoguan was even more simply closed and thanked the guests directly.
His move made many people scold again. Even the imperial historians of his faction have a lot of criticism of him.
