In previous years, there were many people who paid New Year's greetings to Luo Xin, but there have never been so many people like this year. Moreover, in previous years, Luo Mansion only accepted the famous thorns, and those who paid New Year's greetings also knew that Luo Xin could not receive them, so they just asked the porter to pay respect, so that Luo Xin knew that they had come.

However, this year is different, they are here to inquire about the news, and Luo Xin also knows their purpose, if he does not receive it, he will attract resentment. Not only will it become an obstacle for officials to defect to Luo Xin, but it will also make their own people feel that they are not valued, and if they don't regard him as their own, they may turn to others, so they have to accept it.

Since the family is in, you can't just visit and leave, you have to drink something, that's the rule. And he also has to let his son Luo Yu come out to pay New Year's greetings, which is also a rule.

Luo Yu was very excited at first, because he could receive red envelopes for New Year's greetings. However, after only half a day, Luo Yu was too tired. But I have to continue to pay New Year's greetings, which means that Luo Yu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the children of other families are tired.

After the third year of junior high school, I finally calmed down. Luo Xin also went to Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na to worship for a year. Then he was at home thinking about how to block the new treasure banknote.

After thinking about it for a day, Luo Xin came up with a solution that he was not too sure of. That is to publicize the matter of the new treasure banknote in advance. It is said that there is a shortage of money in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng are preparing to issue new treasure banknotes, and the salaries of officials will also be issued treasure banknotes in the future. And the old treasure money said things, and the bad things of the treasure money were exhausted.

In fact, Luo Xin thought things complicated, while Zhang Juzheng thought things simple.

Today's treasure banknotes have stinky streets, not to mention that no one recognizes the treasure banknotes, as long as they are next to the treasure money, no one recognizes them. The officials and the common people hated the money.

Zhang Juzheng thought that as long as the imperial court announced the abolition of the old treasure banknotes, and then the imperial court issued new treasure notes, and the court promised that the new treasure notes would not depreciate, the reputation of the treasure banknotes could be restored.

But no one believed it!

Not to mention the common people, even the officials can't accept it. At the beginning, the imperial court gave them treasure money as a salary, so that they could not eat enough. Finally, because of Luo Xin's series of measures, the southern city is the ship, and the northern market is the mutual market. Disarmament and so on, so that the finances of the imperial court improved, and finally there was no need to open treasure money, and I got real money. At this time, you want to replace real money with treasure money, even the resistance of these officials is also very great.

If Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng suddenly took action, and then forced orders from top to bottom, and then got off to a better start, maybe this new treasure banknote still has the possibility of implementation. However, Luo Xin was poked out in advance, which formed a rolling wave.

After just a few days, the entire capital was in a panic. From the officials to the common people, everyone immediately fell into a panic before they could get out of the excitement of the New Year.

The imperial court wants to issue new treasure banknotes?

Does this still make people live?

No one knows where this news came from, Lu Cuiqiao did these things, he was familiar with the road, the spread was fast and wide, and people couldn't find the source.

All of a sudden, every household tightened their money, kept all the copper coins at home, and was reluctant to spend it, and the situation of money shortage aggravated sharply. Moreover, this panic is spreading from the capital at an extremely fast speed, to the south, north, and 613 provinces.

The whole officialdom was talking about this time, and some officials even went to the cabinet to block the door and ask the cabinet to give a clear explanation.

Now that the Ming Dynasty's finances are improving, why should the cabinet make such a contradictory policy, this is to squeeze the people's fat and ointment, and it is for traitorous ministers.

Gao Gong met with the officials who blocked the door in a high-profile manner, and said righteously:

"The cabinet does not know about the matter of the new treasure banknote and has never discussed the matter. I don't know where your news is coming from? ”

"Elder Gaoge, do you dare to be sure that the cabinet here does not have such an idea?"

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said, "I am sure that the cabinet has never discussed this matter, and I have never heard of it, and I have never thought of it. If it was someone else's idea, I wouldn't know. ”

"Elder Xu Ge, tell me something, does the cabinet have this idea?"

Xu Jie was really anxious, and he already knew keenly in his heart that the matter of the new treasure banknote had gone away. The opposition has formed a general trend, and at this juncture, whoever dares to block the general trend will be crushed.

Xu Jie is also a decisive person, so he said very simply:

"Neither I, nor the Cabinet, ever had this idea. This is a rumor, and a rumor with ill intentions. The Cabinet will certainly thoroughly investigate the matter, and once it is found out who is the one who spread the rumors, it will be severely punished. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Luo Xin intentionally or unintentionally.

After this incident, Zhang Juzheng immediately found Xu Jie, and when Xu Jie saw Zhang Juzheng, he asked with a split face:

"Taiyue, who else did you tell about the new treasure banknote?"

"Luo Xin!"

"You ......" Xu Jie stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said, "You are confused!" ”

"The student wants his support for a whip!" Zhang Juzheng lowered his head and said.

Xu Jie's expression froze, then he sat down and slowly regained his composure. He was able to understand Zhang Juzheng at this time. When Zhang Juzheng proposed a whip, he wanted to get Xu Jie's support. But Xu Jie was against a whip. Now that I think about it, this is forcing Zhang Juzheng to gain the support of others.

When Luo Xin proposed a whip in the court, Xu Jie knew that Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin were cooperating. There was some annoyance in his heart, but also some relief.

Annoyed, Zhang Juzheng actually deviated from his wishes, and it was gratifying that Zhang Juzheng had his own thoughts.

A cabinet chief assistant cannot be an echo worm, and must have his own ideals and his own means. Therefore, in the end, Xu Jie also agreed to a whip, and won for Zhang Juzheng to take charge of the pilot, and finally take charge of the power in the south. It was precisely because of Xu Jie's actions that Zhang Juzheng's heart felt guilty and he respected Xu Jie even more.

"And then? How did you get the new treasure banknote? ”

"Let's ......" Zhang Juzheng glanced up at Xu Jie, and then lowered his head in shame and said: "Then Luo Xin and I debated a whip, and finally predicted the money shortage, so I proposed a new treasure banknote." ”

"What does Luo Xin think of the new treasure banknote?"

"He was adamantly opposed to ......"

Zhang Juzheng said in detail what Luo Xin had said at the beginning. Xu Jie sighed and said:

"It seems that this rumor was spread by Luo Xin."

"Why did he do that?"

"Because he predicted that you would probably take the path of the treasure bankroll."
