Chapter 314 The old man lost his luck and kissed the jackal
However, Yang Qing can stay out of the matter, and the sages of Donglin can't wait!
It's still hopeless!
The total sales of treasury bonds in the 10-day period of the head office of the Nanjing Imperial Bank was 300,000 taels, and except for the highest single-day sales of 50,000 taels on the third day, none of the other four days exceeded 50,000 taels in one day, especially on the 10th day, when 10,000 taels were sold......
It's obviously cold.
This is not as good as Jinyiwei tortured in the temples around Nanjing......
Well, there's a lot of fundraising!
In order to be able to welcome the holy car in Nanjing as soon as possible, the temples around Nanjing enthusiastically donated, and finally donated 600,000 taels in ten days, and the family of Guangda Bao'en Temple donated 50,000 taels. And also got a plaque inscribed by the Queen Mother, and the excited host died of cerebral hemorrhage that night, of course, this cannot be said to be unfortunate.
But you can't just count on the masters!
No matter how high the consciousness of the masters is, after all, the financial resources are still limited, and the key is to rely on the national debt, but what if the national debt cannot be sold?
"Then I can't help it!"
Yang Qing said very frankly.
"I originally thought that the gentry's loyalty to His Majesty should be enough, although 10 million is much, but the strength of the Jiangnan gentry is not worth mentioning, one person buys 100 taels, and it is easy to make up this 10 million. Besides, this is a national debt, and you can get one hundred and fifty taels in ten years, although it is lower than the profit of doing business, but this is not risky! At that time, there is no danger of losing money, but no one has bought it yet, it is obvious that my loyalty to the Jiangnan gentry has been miscalculated, this is really a pity, why don't they buy it? ”
He continued.
Zhang Guowei looked embarrassed.
This is indeed too slap in the face, saying that he is a little angry, it is understandable that no one donated before, but now this is a national debt, this is borrowing money and no one has borrowed it.
Don't you hate Yang Qing?
Didn't you guys always want to get rid of this guy?
Now the opportunity is in front of you, but why have you withered again? Isn't it 10 million? It's really like Yang Qing said, the family paid a hundred taels, and the Jiangnan gentry easily made up the money. And this is still a loan with interest, this is the court is borrowing money from you, and after ten years, it will be repaid by 50%, which does not mean that you will not be repaid directly. You can trust Yang Qing but don't believe in the emperor, so why do you hate this guy? What are you trying to do with this guy? Could it be that the emperor is so unworthy of your trust, is it true that the reputation of the Son of Heaven in three hundred years is not as good as that of a powerful minister who has just risen for only a few years?
"Dongyang Gong, let's take a look first, the gentry in Nanjing buy less, can't they buy more in other places?"
Yang Qing said.
Zhang Guowei looked at him deeply.
No one buys this tama in Nanjing, who will buy it elsewhere? If you want to make 10 million in the whole country, Nanjing or Yingtianfu must have at least 1 million, so that there will be a drama. The Ming Dynasty can take out the money, nothing more than Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, the three most important wealth concentrations, and then add such as Fuzhou, Nanchang and Wuchang these sub-levels, but there are only about ten wealth circles when they are full. There is not much to get outside these wealth circles, and Nanjing, as the largest of them, if it does not even have a million, then don't expect to make up 10 million at all, 5 million is hanging.
But......
It really can't be counted on Yang Qing.
Yang Qing did fulfill his promise, and now the problem is that the gentry are not strong!
"The old man has taken his leave first!"
He said with a sigh.
He then left Yang Qing's place, and then under the surveillance of Jinyiwei's secret agents, he went directly to the Zhejiang Guild Hall, obviously it was useless to find Yang Qing, so he could only find the gentry in his hometown and find a way to let them take out the money to buy treasury bonds.
In other words, Zhang Guowei can be regarded as a loyal minister!
On one side is a traitor, and on the other side is a miser, he is really exhausted for the Ming Dynasty.
"Dongyang Gong, we can buy treasury bonds, but since Yang Qing can put forward conditions, then we also have to put forward conditions, no matter how you say this, it is actually to raise money to redeem the holy driver. Yang Qing did pay the money, and then he made a request, so if we want to pay for it next, we will make the same request, if the holy driver doesn't agree, he won't come back, and the holy driver won't come back if he doesn't promise us! ”
Mao Qiling said.
"You also want to learn from those rebels and thieves?"
Zhang Guowei said angrily.
In fact, he is mentally prepared for this, after all, this sales is very abnormal, but being mentally prepared is not the same as coming out of the mouths of these young generation talents that he originally regarded as the younger generation. Before he came, he also hypnotized himself, telling himself that he was just being too careful, they were all good ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they would not be the same as chaotic ministers and thieves like Yang Qing.
However......
"Dongyang Gong, we are definitely not appropriate for rebellious ministers and thieves, but this is the same as doing business, we have to pay in return, and no one's silver is blown by the wind, and it would be too stupid to give it away for nothing."
Huang Zongxi said with a smile.
"What about your conditions!"
Zhang Guowei said with a gloomy face.
"First, it must be made clear by the holy decree who borrowed the money, not the household department, if Your Majesty wants to repent, he only needs to copy Gao Hongtu's house, and it must be borrowed by the holy car with the holy decree, which is borrowed by the holy driver himself and not by the household department. Second, even if Yang Qing is raided in the future, the Imperial Bank cannot be moved, and it cannot be returned to the inner treasury, at most, the shares held by Yang Qing and others will be returned to the household department. ”
Huang Zongxi said.
"This is no problem, there is no need to worry, even if Your Majesty still pays the capital, the Imperial Bank will definitely not abolish it, as for Your Majesty's holy decree, this can be used as a rule, and all national bonds will be issued by Your Majesty in the future!"
Zhang Guowei said.
This is acceptable, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will come back to repay the account, but this kind of account really cannot be relied on, as for how can a good institution like the Imperial Bank be abolished, since the establishment of this bank, the household department has hardly been plagued by a lack of money. The gold and silver under the Wanshou Palace were originally from the Inner Treasury, and if you really want to take Yang Qing, you will definitely have no nationality, but the registration is not the same as the Inner Treasury and the household is not the same, as a Wenchen, he must hope that the household will not be registered. In the final analysis, such a bank should not be controlled by someone, even if it is controlled by the emperor, it must be controlled by the civil officials of the imperial court, otherwise the emperor will be in trouble one day when he is short of money and prints money.
"Thirdly, the Four People's Assembly must be retained but changed to a parliament, following the example of the two Cantons with the right to elect representatives by the gentry by land suffrage, but the powers previously demanded by Yang Qing for the Four People's Assembly remain unchanged."
Huang Zongxi said.
"The cabinet is still appointed by His Majesty, right?"
Zhang Guowei said with a frown.
In fact, Zhu Cihong can be said to hate this article the most, Qian Qianyi also deliberately used this to provoke him before, but now he continues to ask Zhu Cihong to accept this article, which will undoubtedly slap his face. used this article to confirm that Yang Qing was a traitorous minister, and now even loyal ministers are asking for this, isn't it the same as Yang Qing?
"Your Majesty can promise Yang Qing, so why can't you promise us?"
Mao Qiling said.
Zhang Guowei was silent.
"Fourth, all the heads of the ministries of the Metropolitan Governor's Office withdrew from the cabinet, only the Metropolitan Governor was retained, the Organization Department was abolished, the appointment and dismissal of generals were returned to the Military Department, and the military affairs system of the Governor was restored in various localities. The fifth minister is nominated by the parliament and then submitted to His Majesty for decision, while the cabinet ministers are selected by the first assistant and then submitted to His Majesty for decision. Fifthly, the establishment of provincial councils in the provincial capitals and the selection of candidates for governorship shall be determined by His Majesty......"
Huang Zongxi talked eloquently.
"You are taking advantage of people's danger, Yang Qing is not so excessive as you!"
Zhang Guowei interrupted them and rebuked angrily.
"Dongyang Gong, don't forget, even if Your Majesty comes back, without the support of the gentry from all over the country, he still can't do anything, we spend money, we risk being robbed by Yang Qing, then we have to have something in return."
Huang Zongxi said.
"You can't be so greedy, what's the difference between you and Yang Qing like this?"
Zhang Guowei said angrily.
"Of course, there is a difference, the difference is that a traitor will usurp the throne, and we will definitely not, no matter how many requests we make, it is to be able to stay with His Majesty for a long time!"
Mao Qiling said.
"Dongyang Gong, Yang Qing once said very well, the Ming Dynasty has reached a change that has not been seen in three thousand years, and it will definitely not work if it remains the same, the system of the ancestors must be changed, but how to change is the most important. Yang Qing's change is for his own selfishness, in order to usurp the layout for him one day, and our change is for the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty and the peaceful and prosperous era of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty. Your Majesty hangs down the arch above, and the sages govern things below, isn't this the world of Datong? ”
Huang Zongxi said.
Zhang Guowei looked at the face in front of him that seemed to be full of sincerity, and then looked around, Mao Qiling, Lu Liuliang, Zhang Luxiang......
It's all the talent of the younger generation!
But he really didn't expect these people to have such a big appetite.
Yang Qing was just putting a rope on the emperor, they simply wanted to turn the emperor into a vase for pure decoration. According to Yang Qing's request, the emperor still has at least a little power, and according to their set of emperors, he directly has no power. Cabinet ministers must be nominated by the parliament, local officials must be nominated by the local council, and the emperor is a stamping machine, and the parliament only needs to call the emperor to seal the matter. Yang Qing is a usurper of one person, they are a group of people usurpation, there is no difference between the two, if Yang Qing is a traitor, these guys are also traitors.
Zhang Guowei is a very traditional person.
He is indeed a member of the Donglin Party, and he does want to defeat Yang Qing, but his principle is still to be a loyal minister in the traditional sense, and these people have exceeded the bottom line of his tolerance.
He simply couldn't accept it.
Accepting these things and conveying them to the Son of Longxing is simply a stain that cannot be washed away for him.
He committed suicide in the original history.
"The old man is old, but he didn't expect to be a jackal when he was old, you can do it yourself, the old man is favored by the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, and he is only loyal to the Zhu family in this life, and he doesn't want to be the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Guowei stood up and said with a sneer.
After saying that, he turned around and left straight away.
"You are indeed too old to keep up with the times!"
Later, Huang Zongxi said with a teacup.
