Although the Manchu government imitated the Ming Dynasty in many places, it still retained many tribal customs. After Huang Taiji solved the multi-headed politics of the four major bailes, he began to establish a centralized system of government, and imitated the Central Plains Dynasty to set up six ministries to manage domestic affairs, thus changing the tribal tradition of the beyler in the Mandate of Heaven.

This point can be seen from the fact that since its change to Chongde, the place where the court listens to the government has been transferred from the Dazheng Hall on the East Road to the Chongzheng Hall on the Middle Road. The Great Hall built by Nurhachi should be called the Great Yamen according to the meaning of the Manchu language, and it is not so much the place where Nurhachi listens to the government, but it is better to say that this is the official office of Nurhachi to handle official affairs.

Therefore, the deliberations of the Great Political Palace, in fact, are more focused on a single word, and the Zhubeile and the ministers can fully express their opinions in the Great Palace, so as to form a public opinion on the major policies of the country, and once a public opinion is formed, even the Khan himself has no right to deny it.

But the Chongzheng Hall is different, this is where Huang Taiji listens to the government and handles state affairs, and the final decision on all matters is in the hands of Huang Taiji alone, and Zhu Beile and the ministers do not even have the right to express their opinions without Huang Taiji's permission.

Therefore, after the Chongde reform, the Dazheng Hall was basically abandoned, and the door could not be opened several times a year. The affairs of the country, large and small, are basically decided in the Chongzheng Palace. This change in the political system has effectively strengthened the power in the hands of Huang Taiji. But this also made Huang Taiji waste his energy on many trivial things, making him exhausted and unable to do everything.

Everything Huang Taiji did today, in fact, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has done it, but Huang Taiji is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang had been up and down at the bottom for decades before becoming the emperor, and he is well aware of the shortcomings of the bureaucracy at the grassroots level. And Huang Taiji not only did not have Zhu Yuanzhang's experience, but as a border ethnic minority, it was even more difficult for him to have a comprehensive and objective understanding of the bureaucracy in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Huang Taiji's political reform in the Later Jin Dynasty can only be learned and "groped" for revision, so as to find a path suitable for the Manchus to govern the country. It should be said that before Fan Yongdou escaped, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still full of flowers, and no matter who looked at it, this was a thriving emerging power.

But when Fan Yongdou escaped, the shortcomings of the system established by Huang Taiji were exposed. Since all the power is concentrated in the hands of Huang Taiji, the people below dare not be responsible when they encounter such a major event, and will only hand over the problem and wait for Huang Taiji to make a decision.

Although Inordai had selfish intentions in dealing with this incident, he did not make a mistake in the procedure. Since the reform of Chongde to the Yuan, Huang Taiji has been making rules for the big and small Baylors and the important ministers of the Eight Banners, and even Niu Lu Zhangjing manages the affairs of Niu Lu, and if he does not report to the Criminal Department, he will be punished, not to mention such a major event as Fan Yongdou's escape.

After all, Huang Taiji is a man and not a god, and his political and military talent is not enough for him to understand what is called a currency war and what a financial crisis is. Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty and the stock market both fell, Huang Taiji's first reaction was no different from that of the officials of the household department, covering the gold, silver and materials first, and not exchanging them for worthless paper.

But when the market in Shenyang began to be depressed, merchants closed their doors one after another, and the middle and lower class Eight Banners families became destitute and everyone was full of resentment, he realized that refusing to exchange the Great Qing Yuan would directly damage his reputation and shake the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the loyalty of the children of the Eight Banners to the country.

As a result, he had to summon Zhu Beile and the six Manchu and Han ministers to discuss how to deal with the matter in the Chongzheng Palace. In the past few days, the depreciation of the Qing Yuan, in addition to some Baylor and ministers with inside information, some small Baylors and ministers have also been tricked. In fact, they didn't lose money, but because there was no way to exchange the profits in the stock market for gold and silver, Daming Yuan or materials, they could only watch their wealth go down the drain.

Therefore, when Huang Taiji convened a meeting, these Baylors and ministers, who had suffered heavy losses, first pointed the finger at the household, believing that this was all the evil result of the household department stopping the exchange of the Great Qing Yuan. The Ministry of Household Affairs has not been able to supervise the bank well beforehand, and it has been caught off guard afterwards, and should be heavily fined.

For these disgruntled Baylor and ministers, even Huang Taiji could not stop it, he could only be comforted with kind words, and then said: "Today we will only discuss how to solve the problems of the market depression, the depreciation of the Qing Yuan and the collapse of stocks, as for the issue of responsibility, we will not discuss it for the time being." Yingordai, you are the head of the household department, and you should also know something about the incident these days, you can talk about it first, what should we do now? ”

Ying Erdai did not win the title of financial management minister in vain, he has been running around these days, and constantly talking to people, and finally understood what problem the Qing Dynasty was facing.

Therefore, after seeing Huang Taiji's inquiry, he first confessed his guilt, and then said carefully: "The minister is ashamed, although I have searched many classics and asked many businessmen these days, I still only see the tip of the iceberg about the problems faced by my Qing Dynasty, and I have not fully grasped them.

At present, the problems faced by our Qing Dynasty are not similar to the problems encountered when we were hit by natural disasters. Although the symptoms seem to be similar, shops in the market have closed their doors, and prices have skyrocketed to the point that ordinary people can hardly bear it.

However, the materials we have in our hands are not scarce, especially the food can fully meet the needs of the people. The only problem was that the people couldn't afford it, because they didn't have any money in their hands, or rather, no money other than the Great Qing Yuan.

Because all merchants refused to collect the Qing Yuan, this made the Qing Yuan in the hands of the people become waste paper. Before Fan Yongdou fled, the official exchange ratio of the Great Qing Yuan and the Great Ming Yuan was 1:1, and the private exchange ratio was 0.85:1.

But today, the exchange ratio between the two banknotes has broken 1:12, and no one wants to exchange them. Yesterday, more than 50 percent of the more than 700 shops in Shenyang City closed their doors, and only about 30 percent of the remaining shops were willing to accept the Qing Yuan.

However, by this morning, more than 70% of the shops had closed their doors, and none of them were willing to charge the Qing Yuan.

Such a scene is quite similar to the money shortage that once occurred in the south. To put it simply, the Qing Dynasty is the same as the Ming treasure banknote, not accepted by the people, everyone only recognizes gold, silver and copper and other three goods, but the number of three goods in China is difficult to support domestic trade, which makes all things expensive.

Therefore, the state can not actually cure the root cause of grain by opening up warehouses and releasing grain, and only by reorganizing the monetary system can we stabilize prices.

However, if you completely return to the era of three goods, then it means that all the Daqing Yuan banknotes will be reduced to waste paper. The Great Qing Yuan that everyone exchanged for real money and silver before, through the Yu Lu and rewards calculated in the Great Qing Yuan issued by the Ministry of Households, and the Great Qing Yuan spent by trading companies to purchase ginseng, leather and other materials from the border people and the Mongolian tribes, should we recycle them?

If it is to be recycled, the treasury may not have so many three goods, and it can only be offset by various materials in reserve. If it is not recovered, the minister fears that these people will direct their grievances at the imperial court. ”

With materials to counteract, Huang Taiji didn't want to think about it. Turn the materials you have accumulated into a pile of waste paper, and if you encounter a little wind and grass, what will the Qing Dynasty do to contend with. What's more, these materials are all prepared by him to fight a big battle, if he misses this time, will he have to wait for three or four years, and there can be several three or four years in his life.

Of course, it is probably not possible to directly abolish all the Great Qing Yuan. Not to mention what the Mongolian tribes of the outer vassals will think, even these Baylors and ministers in the palace today are estimated to have complaints against themselves.

After all, this is equivalent to him exchanging a stack of waste paper for the property in the hands of the Eight Banners and the Outer Domain. Although this is Fan Yongdou's "operation", the benefits are really in his pocket, and he can't admit it if he wants to.

Huang Taiji pondered for a long time before he turned to Ying Erdai and asked, "Is there no other way?" Can we restore the people's trust in *yuan, or order the shops in Shenyang to accept the Qing Yuan? ”

Ying Erdai sighed in his heart, in his opinion, abolishing the Great Qing Yuan was actually the most feasible way. After all, except for Fan Yongdou, no one in the household department could figure out how this paper money became money circulating in the market.

But in doing so, it is tantamount to pushing the financial system of the Qing Dynasty anew, and the imperial court will either lose its credit or lose several years of savings, and the two will inevitably be one or the other. Whether it is Huang Taiji or the Manmeng relatives and nobles, they are unwilling to endure such a painful cut of flesh and stop loss.

But if other methods are used, Ying Erdai is completely unsure, because he doesn't know if everyone will restore their confidence in Da Qing Yuan.

However, since King Khan asked, he could only bite the bullet and say: "It is not advisable to force merchants to accept the Great Qing Yuan, except for letting these merchants 'bankrupt' their property, it is not possible to keep the credit of the Great Qing Yuan."

In order to maintain the people's confidence in the * yuan, it is necessary to allow the Qing Yuan to flow in the market. Only if merchants can buy enough supplies with the Great Qing Yuan, will the merchants be willing to accept the Great Qing Yuan.

More than seventy percent of the goods in Shenyang's market, such as tea, salt, sauce, vinegar, cotton cloth, silk and porcelain, come from the Four Seas Trading Company. Only by letting them accept the Great Qing Yuan can the market be stabilized.

Before that, we must first stop the further depreciation of the Qing Yuan and prevent the collapse of the entire paper money system. This is to throw out a part of the treasury reserves ... Please also ask the Khan to judge. ”

Although Yingordai did not say it explicitly, if he wanted Sihai Trading Company to accept the Great Qing Yuan, he must first resume the exchange business with the other party. Otherwise, how could a trading company of the Ming Dynasty contribute to the Qing Dynasty.

In other words, Huang Taiji still has to take out real money to exchange for a pile of waste paper, which is really an unsolvable problem. Just when everyone in the hall was holding their breath and waiting for Huang Taiji's decision, Hao Ge suddenly said murderously: "Why don't you send troops to take over the treasury of the Four Seas Trading Company, they are on our ground, whether they can collect the Great Qing Yuan or not, naturally we should have the final say." ”

Yueto and Azig immediately spoke out in support: "What Haugbel said is that it's all at this time, can you still exchange real money for a pile of waste paper?" First borrow the materials of the Ming people to fill this hole. ”

With these two people speaking out, Baylor and the ministers in the palace also responded, and Ying Erdai was suddenly shocked and said: "No, we can at most detain the goods of the Four Seas Trading Company in Shenyang and Yingkou." But if the trade between the two countries is interrupted, the daily needs of our people will be even more scarce..."

However, Huang Taiji was extremely moved by Hauge's proposal, and he said to Yingordai: "That's not true, we must first get past the current difficulties, and then talk about the future."

Besides, we followed our father Khan in Hetuala, and we never had any hard times. Could it be that if we cut off trade with the Ming Dynasty, we will not be able to live a long time? There is no such statement.

Of course, we are not good men in Liangshanbo after all, this borrowed material is borrowed material, this IOU still has to be beaten, and we can't rely on the strength of the army to rob others. Hauge, would you like to go to Sihai Company for this trip? ”

Haoge, who has always liked to behave in front of his father Khan, humbly retreated today: "The child leads the troops to charge the battle and does not dare to fall behind, but this door-to-door borrowing things, the child has never been able to communicate, I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of Khan Amma, please ask Khan Ama to select talents." ”

Huang Taiji thought about it, and then said to Dolgon: "Prince Rui, you have always been shrewd, and this errand will be entrusted to you..."
