fell to the ground, no, to be exact, the person who collapsed to the ground was Chen Huanzhang and the Ninghou Mo Tiancong they were talking about.

The people around quickly moved out of the way, and everyone tried to keep themselves away from Mo Tiancong.

Originally, many people who were waiting to see the excitement closed their mouths tightly, looked at the ground, and started to make mud puppets again.

The two people surnamed Sun were dragged down by the guards, and the death penalty could be spared, but the living crime was unforgivable.

Jiang Chuan didn't look at Mo Tiancong's direction, but turned around and walked up the imperial steps again, walked in front of the emperor, and looked at him:

"Your Majesty, give me a word of truth."

"I, I, this is a frame, this is a frame, there is no secret edict at all, I am wronged!" The emperor's face was pale and his lips trembled.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, stared at the emperor for a while, and only when the emperor was already sweating did he say slowly: "Okay, I believe you." Your Majesty, never embarrass me. ”

He believed not in the emperor, but in his own soldiers.

If under the close care of the soldiers of the base, the emperor could still have the opportunity to get some clothes and send the edict outside the palace, Jiang Chuan felt that he should not be the regent.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuan turned around and slowly walked down the imperial stairs again.

The emperor behind him exhaled heavily and leaned against the throne, his back already damp.

Li Ziqi's death just now had a strong visual impact on him.

Although he had ordered many people to be killed, it was the first time he felt so close to death.

This kind of scene made him sick, and he was really scared from the inside.

Killing and being killed is a completely different feeling.

"Take it down and try it well. How deep and how deep you dig. Jiang Chuan didn't look in Mo Tiancong's direction, and instructed the guards below.

The two guards dragged away Ninghou Mo Tiancong, who was lost and depressed, with an earthy face.

The ministers were silent.

Jiang Chuan walked forward slowly, his eyes sweeping over the people beside him one by one.

None of the people who were swept by his eyes dared to look at him, and all of them bowed their heads.

"Listen to each one of you, and keep your ears up and listen."

"This court, this world, if there is no king, you will either become a prisoner of the rogues at this moment, or you will become a slave of the Manchu Tartars, and you can't even do what the slaves want to do. It was this king who destroyed the Manchu Tartars and defeated the Liukou. Now the king's army is still attacking the city and conquering the lost territory. But is this how you come to repay the king's kindness? ”

"This king does not ask you to do much for the court, but I beg you not to cause trouble for this king. But some of you are always restless, always thinking about getting something done, do you think that this king is too merciful to you, or do you think that this king has not killed enough people? ”

"Go and see, the grass on the graves of Liu Lin's more than 500 people has not yet grown, if you want to go and be their companions, this king is willing to fulfill you."

Jiang Chuan's leather boots tapped on the marble floor, and his cold voice echoed through the hall.

He walked through the aisle between the officials, whispering as he went.

Everyone hung their heads and listened, and the only sound in the entire hall was Jiang Chuan's footsteps and the sound of him talking.

Jiang Chuan walked back to the front of the imperial steps, slowly walked up the imperial steps, and then stood on the top floor of the imperial steps, and said in a deep voice to everyone:

"This court is rotten to the bones, and its body is covered with carrion. All the king has to do is to cut off all the carrion, and remove the rotten bones, so that new flesh and blood, good bones, can be brought back to life. ”

"Weigh and reflect on yourself, and see if you are rotten flesh and bones, or good flesh and bones. This king tells you bluntly, even if all the flesh and bones are rotten and broken, this king does not mind, as much as rotten, this king will strip off as much as he wants, and it is worth cleaning it thoroughly. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chuan stopped, his eyes swept over the officials below who were standing with their heads down.

He could see that many people had beads of sweat on their faces, and their bodies were trembling slightly.

The Qianqing Hall is not hot, on the contrary, it is quite cool, and special attention is paid to ventilation when it is built. Coupled with the thick dome, the heat outside is like two worlds here.

They were afraid.

People are always forgetful, and they always forget the pain when the scar is healed.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan should often remind them, and use blood and death to awaken and consolidate their fears.

"Nothing in the world is immutable, and if there is, only change itself is constant. Since everything is constantly changing, it is necessary to adapt to this change and follow this change. If you always want to imitate your ancestors and deal with the changing world with the same method, it will definitely be a dead end. ”

"There is no doubt that the imperial court must change, and the world must change. And since ancient times, when there is change, there will be bloodshed and death. Some people die for change, and many more die to hinder change. Everything this king does is for change, in order to better adapt to the general trend of the world. If any of you wants to stand in the way of your king's change, stand up and see if your king's guns are sharper or your bones are harder. ”

There was a solemn silence in the entire hall, only the faint sound of breathing, and no one said much.

Jiang Chuan quietly glanced at Liu Ji, who was standing at the front, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qing, you come to read it." ”

Liu Ji had already prepared, and when he heard the words, he said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After finishing speaking, he took two steps forward, faced the ministers, unfolded a book in his hand, and read it out loud:

"The regent Yizhi: Today's currency is chaotic, there are both gold and silver, copper coins, and all kinds of privately minted coins are countless, and the court and the subjects of the world are deeply suffering. Therefore, the king decided to change it, and from this day he established the Zhongzhou Bank and re-issued the currency, the details are as follows......"

The main points of Jiangchuan's reform of the currency system are basically summarized as follows:

The Zhongzhou Bank was established and paper money was issued, which was named legal tender.

That is, the meaning of fiat currency.

Banknotes of one dime, five cents, one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred and nineteen different denominations are issued.

At the same time, one-, two-, and five-cent coins are issued.

The imperial court issued a decree stipulating that one yuan is equal to one tael of silver, and ten yuan is equal to ten taels of silver.

There is a decimal relationship between the minutes, angles, and elements.

A dime is equivalent to a penny of silver, and a penny is equivalent to a penny of silver.

These currencies can be exchanged at the bank at any time for sufficient amounts of gold and silver, and there are no fees.

Moreover, from now on, all the officials of the imperial court, as well as all the incoming and outgoing payments of the imperial court, will be settled in legal tender.

At the same time, it was ordered to prohibit the circulation of original currencies such as gold, silver, and copper coins in the Gyeonggi region, and it was necessary to use fiat currency for private transactions, commercial transactions, and even various taxes.

All Gyeonggi officials and citizens must go to the Bank of Chungju and its branches in all directions of the capital within half a month to exchange their holdings of old currencies such as gold, silver, and copper coins into legal tender.

And there will be various rewards for those who redeem it in the first three days.

At the same time, the Regent Palace, together with the major law enforcement yamen in the capital, will form a joint inspection team to conduct open and secret inspections in all areas of the capital, and once it is found that those who continue to use gold, silver and copper coins for trading and refuse to accept legal tender will be directly imprisoned for the crime of confronting the imperial court and disrupting the financial market.

It can be said that the new currency reform plan is mainly piloted in the Gyeonggi region, and then rolled out to other state capitals when it matures.
