Chapter 46: Eight Directions Press the Sword to Hide the Wind and Thunder (16)
γFirst Updateγ
ββ¦β¦ Making a lot of money in the world is Wang Mang's move to cause trouble in the world, how can you not know the car before the Han Dynasty? This means that I will implicate the officials in the future and issue an edict against myself. In the political hall, in front of the courtiers, he shook his lips to the queen, and shook a piece of music in his hand in the same rhythm: "What do you think of this musical?!" β
When Cai did hear this, he immediately said: "This generation has ruined the credibility of the court, making the people suspect that the Son of Heaven is immoral, and it seems to be a loyal traitor, so it should not be spared!" β
Han Jiang's attitude softened a little: "It may be too much to say that it seems to be a loyal traitor, but it is unreasonable and harmful to state affairs, so it should not be left in the court and the government." β
"Han Xianggong means to dismiss him?"
Han Jiang bowed his head: "There is a precedent, Your Highness can break it according to the precedent." β
"Cai Xianggong. According to the public opinion, how to deal with it? Xiang Empress turned to ask Cai Qu.
Cai Qu replied: "It should be dealt with seriously, so as to serve as a lesson for future generations...... The dismissal is still too light, when the pursuit of the text since the birth. β
"Zhang Qing, Zeng Qing, what do you two think?"
"The two have no objection to each other's opinions. It is indeed too light to dismiss an official, but it is too heavy to pursue the words since his birth, and between the two, His Highness can profit or lose on his own. β
"The courtier's intentions are the same as Han Xianggong's, and the dismissal of officials and the seizure of office is already a heavy punishment."
"Han Xuanhui, I don't know what Xuanhui thinks?"
"This Dongfu matter, the minister does not dare to speak falsely. I only hope that the punishment of the court can be used as a warning by future generations. β
After a moment's hesitation to the queen, he ordered, "...... Then according to Cai Xianggong's words, chase down the words since this person's birth! β
This is already the seventh official in recent days to be severely punished by the imperial court for abolishing the minting of large coins.
From ancient times to the present, drumming and casting a lot of money is a measure to corrupt the national government and loot the people, and it is also one of the evidences that the traitorous ministers are in power and the government is sluggish.
Folding five coins and ten cents are obviously big money, and it is not a secret that the imperial court makes a lot of money in it. As long as you read more history books, you will know the intentions and consequences of casting big money in the past. Regardless of whether the evaluation in the history books is justified or not, opponents can immediately produce historical evidence to prove their views.
This would have been Han Gang's fatal wound. However, after Han Gang's previous teachings and the subsequent beating of a group of opponents, in the past two months, the thousands of officials in the capital have long since stopped, and only the local officials, who do not know what to do, have written to admonish.
For this group of foolish worms, the punishment given by the imperial court was merciless, even to the point of harshness. A number of magistrates have been dismissed, demoted, or even stripped of their official positions today, depending on the severity of their words.
From beginning to end, Han Gang didn't say anything about what to do, and it was all pushed on Dongfu.
Because he doesn't need to speak, the two mansions and the Empress Taishang will help him deal with things and suppress all opponents. If you don't do anything else, but only for the treasury that the imperial court will never be satisfied with, you must not give up the huge profits that will be made every year in the future.
Without the newly minted four million coins, next spring, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will have to drink the northwest wind. And the issuance of new money can finally make the imperial court financial plan a little relieved.
It is just a matter of melting old coins and recasting new coins, and for every bronze minted for five coins, it earns an extra penny and a half. As for the old five cents, although they were recast, not only did they not make money, but they lost money, but fortunately, the number was not much, and this loss could be afforded.
Not to mention that the cost of mass production is comparable to that of five yuan, and it is also only more than three yuan, and the interest earned in it is even more terrifying.
In this way, the minting business of the Mint Bureau alone can bring one or two million yuan of income to the imperial court every year.
The so-called good money is hard to give up, and the huge amount of income at your fingertips, no Zaifu can give up easily. Moreover, the opponents were not in the mood from the beginning, and the person in charge was Han Gang, a ruthless character who would never tolerate the enemy. Of course, the Zaisuke will not make the most stupid mistakes, and of course they will choose to side with the victor and stand on the side of their own advantage.
When the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion and the political discussion on how to punish the opponents, Han Gang had already left him behind. It's not worth thinking about it. His immediate priority was to continue minting new money and to find ways to develop subsequent large-denomination currencies. Gold, silver, and copper coins are fine, as long as they aren't paper money.
Although the issuance of paper money is a huge profit, no matter what kind of metal coins are minted, it is far less profitable than paper money, but it also eliminates the credit loss caused by the implementation of paper money.
Even if the imperial court issues banknotes in the future, Han Gang doesn't want to be implicated, lest the fame he has saved so hard will disappear and be poked in the backbone by future generations.
Han Gang's theory of the source of money, even though it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, when encountering a big hole in the country's financial plan, it is inevitable to cut the flesh and mend the sores.
Could it be that later generations did not know the disadvantages of indiscriminate distribution of paper money to those countries with how many zeros were issued? Of course they know! Any of the officials in charge of the issuance of banknotes in various countries have a more theoretical level than Han Gang. It's just that I couldn't stop at that time.
So only coins can be issued, not paper money. With actual value in it, the credit on the bottom line can be maintained.
As long as the imperial court is willing to keep its word and maintain the credit of the new money, even if they know that the court mints new money to make money, the people of the capital will still be happy to use it. And after the courtiers get used to it, they will know how convenient this new money is.
The group of poets in the capital dared to say sour things, but they did not dare to write against this matter. That is, such a level, it is not worth taking it to heart at all.
The Zaifu and the Empress Taishang discussed the national politics for the sake of. Han Gang listened quietly on the surface, but in fact, he had already flown out of the sky.
Suddenly, the topic turned to Han Gang: "I don't know what Han Xuanhui thinks?" β
Han Gang secretly complained, he didn't pay attention to what Fang was talking about, he could only pretend at this time, "If it is not within the position of a minister, how can a minister overstep his authority." β
It's already a smooth reply. But it is a universal spirit, and it can be regarded as an answer wherever it is placed.
Empress Xiang didn't see that Han Gang didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, and since Han Gang shirked it, she followed closely. "He Zhu was also a subordinate of Xuanhui, and now someone in the DPRK proposes to transfer him to a civil servant, of course, you have to listen to Xuanhui's opinion."
Sure enough, it was handed over. Han Gang's spirit was shocked. The news has been spread for a long time, and Su Shi's group of people finally stopped relying on their mouths to fly away, and they were finally able to do things.
But do they really want to recommend He Zhu? I still want to embarrass myself. You don't need to think much about it, you can easily come up with this answer.
It seems that as long as he opposes it, he will be widely publicized, saying that Han Gang is disrespectful to Wenchen. If you are not good at poetry, you will be hostile to all those who are good at poetry. And with approval, the result will be even worse. As soon as he was expelled from the Firearms Bureau, he agreed to transfer him to a civilian official in the blink of an eye, which can be regarded as repetitive.
set a trap and threw it over, and really regarded himself as an enemy. Han Gang was angry and funny, and it seemed that he had to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't know what would happen in the future.
Due to the changes caused by himself, Su Shi has many poems that have been sung through the ages in later generations and have not come out. Han Gang wondered, should he just write a batch in one go, and then look at the stunned expressions of those people.
But this idea was thrown away when I thought about it, everyone in the world has eyes to watch, and I have never been good at poetry, and I took out several top small words at once, and anyone who looks at it will feel that there is a problem.
And although he is not good at poetry, he is still a writer. Who can say that Han Gang and Han Yukun are not the great Confucians in the world?
Although Han Gang took out all the things, it can be regarded as deceiving the world and stealing fame, but compared to plagiarizing poetry, it is not so bad, at least it can save people and save the country. And stealing poetry, I don't know who is saved?
"Xuanhui?" Seeing that Han Gang didn't answer for a long time, he whispered to the queen.
Han Gang hurriedly threw away distracting thoughts: "He Zhu will only be dismissed if he is inferior in performance evaluation. Now, if he is allowed to be converted into a scholar, the world will not know why he is rewarded, and will think that he has done the right thing in the arms prison, and the court will remedy it after the improper punishment. β
Coming out of the Chongzheng Palace, Han Gang had already forgotten about He Zhu, a small military attachΓ©, it was not worth spending more effort on him at all.
"Yukun." Zhang Dian deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Han Gang, "I don't know if you have time on the tenth day of the lunar month, Yukun?" β
Han Gang's footsteps slowed: "Brother Zihou wants to have a treat?" β
Han Gang was a little surprised, Zhang Dian did invite guests to dinner a lot of times, but the Privy Council was very busy a year ago, and Zhang Dian was the privy envoy, where did the time come from? Even the Xuanhui Courtyard has a lot more to do than usual.
"yes." Zhang Duan nodded and said, "The plum blossoms are blooming at home, such a beautiful scene, just invite Yukun to conspire with you to get drunk." β
Han Gang's expression changed suddenly, and he stared at Zhang Dian very rudely: "It's okay for Han Gang to drink, but it's not okay to compose poetry." When I see plum blossoms, I can only think of the venison of the sika deer, but I can't think of a splendid article. β
Zhang Dan's heart was shocked, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Yukun, do you understand?" β
Han Gang sighed: "Brother Zihou, you can be said to have done your best to Su Zizhan. β
Watching the plum blossoms and admiring the moon, drinking wine and composing poems, these are the favorite of the literati and Confucianism.
Han Gang has never done poetry, and his attitude towards poetry and poetry even made Empress Xiang very cold to his courtiers in the year she was in power. Han Gang went out to drink, and no one could speak poetry.
When he arrived at home before the plum blossoms, he could also make plum blossoms and drink wine. But at Zhangdun's banquet, how could he get out of the face of plum blossoms and hot wine?
There is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting, Zhang Dian rashly invited him to drink and enjoy the plums, and he had an idea when he made it clear. Judging from the recent situation, Zhang Dan's purpose is, of course, for Su Shi's friend.
Zhang Dian smiled bitterly, "Zizhan just has a rough personality, so he is often criticized. Yukun, you just don't understand. β
"Brother Zihou is so hardworking, Han Gang should be happy. But when the time comes, the words will not be speculative, and the banquet will be made, and I hope that Brother Zihou will not blame Han Gang for being rude. β
Zhang Dian began to regret helping Han Gang reconcile with Su Shi in an instant, and now it seems that Han Gang's opinion of Su Shi is not just a prejudice, but a deeper problem.
If you want to bridge the gap and contradiction between the two, is it too self-conscious?
It's just that it's hard to ride a tiger now, and it's hard to change your words.
"Then the foolish brother will sweep the courtyard and wait for Yukun to come to the door."
