Chapter 711: There Are Thieves in the Country
Ye Hua's plan is not complicated, he wants to issue paper money to solve the deficit of the treasury, but the problem is that under the current conditions, even if he has sufficient gold and silver reserves, the risk of issuing currency is still very large, and it is very likely to cause currency depreciation, soaring prices, and all kinds of terrible consequences will fall on the heads of the people, which Ye Hua cannot accept in any case.
So he introduced the stock market and the bond market, hoping to channel money into a preset pool. It's just that this plan can't be said clearly, the government and the opposition, there are few fuel-efficient lamps, the court wants to make a fortune, and they also want to make some oil and water. Once these immortals are mixed in, the stock market may be spoiled.
After thinking about it, there is only one way left to go, first dig a big pit for them, teach them a hard lesson, let them taste the hardships, and then the matter can be pushed down smoothly.
Of course, Ye Hua also pondered that it would be a good thing if he could scrape off a layer of oil and water from the hundred officials and make up the money to reward the meritorious soldiers.
Anyway, he didn't plan to befriend the officials, and he didn't have any burden to pit them once.
Seeing that the plan was successful, and the hundred officials were also in the urn, it was up to them whether to write or not...... How much money the court has, how much you spent on stocks, where did the money come from, can you explain clearly...... Ye Hua seemed to be able to hear Chai Rong's sharpening sound.
At this time, Li Yu jumped out!
This surprised Ye Hua!
Speaking of which, Li Yu has taken a very strange path in recent years, he first joined the army as an embroidered guard, completed the conversion between civil and military, and then went to Kaifeng Mansion and became a judge.
According to common sense, Li Yu can be released to the prefect's mansion or enter the Yushitai, who knows that this guy has smoked again, he has to take the imperial examination, and enters the Hanlin Academy, and is currently a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, second only to Li Shi.
From a murderous messenger with blood-stained hands to a noble Hanlin official, this guy jumped from the ink-like mud pond to the white and flawless pure holy land.
It is equivalent to running from hell to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
Many people couldn't accept such drastic changes, and they tried to find fault and make Li Yu ugly.
But unfortunately, when it comes to talent and learning, Li Yu crushes them, and when it comes to black hands, this guy came out of the embroidered messenger, who can beat him!
It was only at this moment that many people realized that Li Yu had completed his cultivation and sharpening, just like a divine sword, which was about to be cast, just waiting to see blood and kill people!
"Li Shiyu, don't say anything first, I just want to ask you, stocks...... Did you buy it? ”
"Nope!" Li Yu said calmly: "The minister never bought a stock, and the minister's family has no money to spare...... In fact, in recent years, the prices of the capital have skyrocketed, relying only on the meager income of the ministers, they can only eat and drink, and they have to weave silk at home every day, and sell two or three silk horses a year to survive the New Year. ”
When Chai Rong heard this, he bowed slightly, "According to this, your life is very hard?" ”
Li Yu said: "Your Majesty, being an official is a hard thing, but the minister thinks that if every official lives comfortably, the world will die!" ”
"Hahaha...... Seeking glory and wealth for the officials, seeking a wife and a son for the general, the courtiers are living better, and I also have a glorious face on the face of this monarch, Li Yu, your words have passed! ”
Although Chai Rong was criticizing, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, as if encouraging. Li Yu was even more courageous, "Your Majesty, the hundred officials are herdsmen for the Son of Heaven, if you use a family as a metaphor, the monarch's father is the parent, and the people are the children...... The official is in the middle, that is, the daughter-in-law! There are in-laws to be honored above, and children to take care of below. In a family, if the daughter-in-law is smiling and smiling, she is either losing her in-laws or treating her children slowly, the so-called way of being an official is to do a good job of her daughter-in-law! ”
"Bold!"
As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Zhao Shangjiao couldn't wait to reprimand angrily, "Li Yu, you compare women to hundreds of officials, and compare small families to countries, you, you have bad intentions!" Insulting Sven! ”
The gang of people present were still afraid of Ye Hua, but they were not afraid of Li Yu, on the contrary, they also used Li Yu as a punching bag, and just asked them to write the investment amount, but no one dared to write it, which made them so embarrassed, and just scolded Li Yu to relieve his anger.
Therefore, everyone came up and attacked Li Yu together, and said anything unpleasant.
The more Ye Hua listened to it, the more he wanted to laugh, and he laughed out loud.
"Don't make any noise!"
Chai Rong snorted, and the officials shut up, and His Majesty the Emperor's gaze swept over everyone, and the anger was overflowing.
"Ye Qing, what are you laughing at?"
"Your Majesty, the minister heard from the people in the market that a woman can withstand five hundred ducks, and with the posture just now, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty have no less than tens of thousands of ducks, so the minister thinks that it is not unreasonable for Li Shi to read what he said, and the courtiers are like daughters-in-law!"
"You are presumptuous!"
This made Old Master Zhao angry, his beard pouted, and he wanted to curse Ye Hua for a few words, but after thinking about it, isn't this just in the middle of it!
The old master could only cry to Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, the so-called soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, Li Yu and Ye Hua humiliate the ministers in every way, if Your Majesty does not give the ministers the master, the ministers have no shame to stand on the court, they can only hang the crown and beg to go!" ”
Zhao Shangjiao came up with a trick of resigning and coercing, and after him, more than a dozen officials stood up, and if Li Yu was not dismissed, they would resign together.
It's really a big drama to force the palace.
"Li Yu, you have provoked the anger of the public, but what can you say?" Chai Rong asked in a deep voice.
Li Yu was not afraid, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't feel that he said anything wrong, but Zhao Zhongcheng and all the adults...... Are you thinking too highly of yourself? I want to ask where the clothes you wear, the rice you eat, the houses you live in, and the carriages you sit in, come from? In the final analysis, it is the people's offerings, and in this sense, the people are your food and clothing parents...... Everyone can say this, but you can't say it. ”
"Li Yu! You're also a reader, don't go too far! Zhao Shangjiao red eyes and roared angrily.
"It is precisely because I am a scholar that I understand that we have just read a few more books and can write a few words than the people, what's the big deal?" Li Yu said contemptuously: "But some people feel that they are high and extraordinary, and they don't have enough money, and when they see where there is oil and water, they want to make a profit. ”
Li Yu's voice raised an octave, "The establishment of the stock market was originally to enrich the national treasury, and some unscrupulous people relied on their own well-informed information to wantonly accumulate wealth and enrich their own pockets. If this continues, how can the stock market last long? Ladies and gentlemen, don't you dare to come and ask for money? ”
is such a sharp-toothed Li Yu, even Ye Hua was startled.
Grandma's, this grandson has also wrapped himself in, but he can't say anything wrong with him...... Okay, after so many years, it can be regarded as sharpening him!
It's a bit of a skill!
It seems that you don't have to take action yourself, Li Yu alone can defeat hundreds of officials.
Ye Hua looked like he was watching a play.
Li Yu stopped the hundred officials, did not give them a chance to refute at all, and said directly to Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, the minister implores the Son of Heaven to issue a decree that he can clearly order the hundred officials not to do business." As for the wives and parents of officials, they are not allowed to directly run shops, and in addition, when purchasing, it is especially necessary to avoid suspicion. ”
Li Yu mentioned the last point, and was heartbroken, "Your Majesty, in the past three years, the number of road repairs, conquests, and procurement of military supplies has exceeded the sum of all years. There are many people, relying on their kinship with the officials in charge, to get the news in advance, and to take the first action to raise prices and pass away the war money. According to the minister's estimate, at least more than 30% of the treasury expenditure has been wasted, and the minister implores His Majesty to investigate thoroughly! ”
Li Yu is still talking about it, but just these are already dumbfounded, the sound of thunder sounded in the ears of many people, they only have one thought, a good Li Yu, how dare you poke this thing out, you are too bold!
Including Ye Hua, he also knew that the hundred officials must have corrupt behavior, but after all, he was not in the capital, and he could only extrapolate many things, but Li Yu was not, this guy knew these things when he was embroidering clothes, and in the past three years, he has been exposed to it and seen the officialdom thoroughly.
In order to recover Youzhou, war bonds were issued and military rations were purchased, but there was a deficit of tens of millions of stones...... This time the war was longer and more expensive, and the officials had learned to be smart and no longer directly embezzled and resold ...... Rather, it is sold to a specific merchant in the form of a buy-up.
After the profit is made, it is then transferred to them, or transferred to the trading houses and workshops opened by the relatives of officials.
In this way, it is very hidden, and even if you want to check it, you can't find it clearly.
This was a secret that many people didn't dare to say, but unexpectedly, Li Yu revealed it all.
Those officials were not just afraid, their faces were like ashes, their whole bodies were trembling, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat!
Chai Rong's anger had rushed to the top of his head, and he finally understood why so many officials were involved in the stock market just after it was launched, and everyone was generous.
During the time they were away from Beijing, they made a lot of money, and they had nowhere to spend money, so they finally got out of the stock market and smashed into it.
I can treat the 300,000 Great Eclipse Cavalry as nothing, but I am helpless against the bandits in the country!
This is my minister!
"Retreat!"
Chai Rong squeezed out two words from between his teeth, but these two words made the hearts of several ministers fall to the bottom all of a sudden, and something bad is going to happen!
Sure enough, Chai Rong asked people to call Ye Hua and Li Yu over, and the monarch and the minister wanted to talk alone!
