Chapter 772 Regulates the financial markets
Lu Zhi was speechless when asked, their family is indeed the home of the eunuchs, from the beginning of the five generations, they have been officials, and they have been passed on to Lu Duan, reaching the peak, and then although they have declined a lot, the heritage still exists, and there are not a few officials in the clan.
It's just that the family is big, and the expenses are also big.
How many people did the imperial court have?
Taking Bao Zheng as an example, when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, it was only 3,000 yuan a year, and most of them were in kind.
Bao Zheng took the money, still panicked, he took out most of his annual income to support poor students in his hometown.
I lived a tight life in the capital, and I was reluctant to use candles, and I lit rapeseed oil lamps at night, which made me smell of vegetable oil, and I was laughed at by my colleagues.
Now sitting on the throne of the prime minister, Yulu has also reached 5,000 yuan, but as the prime minister, ushered in the send-off, come to the house to talk about things and visit, always prepare some tea and snacks, the price of the capital is high, and the family maid spends a lot of money, all year round, there is not much left.
Anyone who is an official knows in his heart that there are few people who really live on their income.
What's more, taking out hundreds of thousands of yuan at once, is this something that a person who earns money can do?
Although Lu Zhi quibbled, saying that this was accumulated over generations, he could only coax children, the problem was that Zhao Shu was not a child anymore.
"Master Lu, I don't want to frame you, otherwise, please ask the Audit Department to enter your home, if you are not at ease, let the Criminal Department and the Yushitai also send someone over to carefully investigate, if it is really Yulu's income, it is above board, and Lone is willing to apologize to you, but if it is not...... Find out that any money is from an unknown source, or it is bribery, or it is evading taxes, or it is a fish and a common man...... Please also ask Lord Lu to know what to advance and retreat! ”
After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the others.
"The same goes for you!"
Zhao Shu sneered: "Didn't you say that the money earned alone is unreasonable and illegal? Then your money must be above board? Whoever can stand up to thorough investigation will return it immediately, if not! Your money is also ill-gotten gains! Even if you let Lone return, it should be returned to the household, what do you think? ”
What else do you say?
These people are repentant.
I shouldn't have had a hot head just now, and just thinking about returning the wealth, I stupidly wrote my name on it.
Okay, this time, the amount of money is admitted by yourself, which is equivalent to stuffing the evidence of the crime to the prince and sending the knife to the hands of others, and you can't deny it if you want to.
Lu Zhi is quite good, he doesn't have the most money, and he has been an official in his family for more than 100 years, with big roots and lush branches, and he can barely argue.
Let's ask, those who come from humble backgrounds and have only been officials for more than ten years, where do you get your money?
It's not enough to save ten lifetimes by relying on money?
As long as you can't tell you clearly, you can't do what you want to do!
They looked at each other, trembling and turning green with fright.
This is the loss of not having the old-timers in charge!
If Jia Changchao was here, he would definitely not let everyone sign and give people a handle...... It's too late to say anything now, the monarch and the ministers fight, and the courtiers are not the slightest bit unreasonable, and the king can play the courtiers to death.
What's more, there is real evidence, and the evidence is ironclad, which is fatal!
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly knelt down together, crying bitterly at Zhao Zhen.
"Your Majesty! Sage! The ministers are confused, the ministers are hungry for profit, and please ask the saint to be gracious! ”
"The ministers are loyal, and this time the ministers are not for a little family wealth, but for military affairs."
"That's right, is it someone who spread rumors at will and shake the morale of the army, and the ministers and others spoke up and wrote a letter asking for a thorough investigation?"
……
These guys play with the speed of changing faces, that's really fast.
But now it's too late to say anything, I think Jia Changchao just told everyone that if you don't get entangled in money, you must occupy the moral high ground.
But the result?
Just because of his greed, Zhao Zhen casually threw out a bait, and they took the bait, and they couldn't live if they did their own evil!
Seeing the hundred officials crying bitterly, several people in the political hall had different thoughts.
Of course, Wang Anshi is very relieved, usually these guys stop the Qingmiao Law, stop the Fangtian Tax Law, and open their mouths and close their mouths not to compete with the people! We must recuperate and cherish the people's power!
How nice to say!
The court borrowed money from Qingmiao, which is excessive exploitation and heinous sin, so let me ask you!
On the list, more than seven million, how did it come from?
Which article is not the people's fat and people's anointment, and which article can be worthy of conscience?
And Wang Anshi is very clear, for the gentry, the liquid currency will always be a small head, and it may only occupy one or two percent of a family's wealth, and at most it will not exceed three percent.
In other words, if he can take out 100,000 yuan, his land and house are worth 1 million yuan!
Was the Great Song Dynasty poor?
Not poor at all!
Almost all the officials in the world are full of fat brains, and they are all rich.
It is precisely because the changes have fallen on them, cutting their flesh and robbing their interests, that there will be so many people who oppose him, Wang Anshi is more and more high-spirited, he can't wait for Zhao Zhen to make a decree, immediately raid the house and destroy the door, confiscate the property of these people, and the household department of the Great Song Dynasty will be enriched.
He had the heart to stand up and speak, but then he thought about it, this time the political hall was Bao Zheng's main business, and the conversation between Bao Zheng and Zhao Zhen had revealed a lot of information.
What Zhao Zhen really trusts is these old ministers, let's see what kind of attitude Master Bao has!
Lao Bao is also quite difficult at the moment.
To tell the truth, he felt that Zhao Zhen and Zhao Shu were a little unauthentic in doing this, and it was clear that they were inviting you into the urn to lure hundreds of officials into the urn. As the prime minister, he came to talk, and the hundred officials were willing to sign the list, also for the sake of his face. I believe that the old minister can administer justice for everyone.
And the result!
was put on the table, and Bao Zheng's old face was also hot and uncomfortable.
If it is replaced by Wen Yanbo or Jia Changchao, even Song Zhen and those people will not be like this, but Bao Zheng is a gentleman, a gentleman is cautious and independent, and does not deceive the dark room.
It is not right for hundreds of officials to loot the people's fat and ointment, but it is also necessary to be honest and upright...... Relying on fraudulent means to deceive the evidence, it is not very glorious for an emperor......
Bao Zheng groaned for a long time before coughing twice.
"Qi Qi sage, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness's purchase of stocks this time is a move to protect the disk, and there is nothing wrong with preventing the stock market from collapsing...... And because of the purchase of stocks, the profits made are also legal gains, which can only show that His Royal Highness has a good investment vision and does not have to return the income. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled, "Bao Qing, what about the hundred officials?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, although our dynasty does not allow hundreds of officials to directly engage in business, but it does not restrict relatives, friends, children and nephews, and it is possible that some families have managed the law and accumulated huge family property...... If there is a violation of the law, it is natural that it needs to be severely punished. ”
Zhao Shu understood that he wanted to release the water!
He immediately said: "Bao Xianggong, you said that hundreds of officials are not allowed to do business directly, so what is it for them to buy stocks and bonds?" ”
"Your Highness, what the old minister wants to say is exactly this, over the years, bonds and stocks, frequent transactions, huge amounts, often millions, tens of millions, implicated in all aspects, related to the national economy and people's livelihood, military affairs...... As a result, the stock market and the bond market are dominated by the private sector, and it is not clear whether it is a business or not, and I am afraid it is not reasonable! ”
Han Jiang also stood up, and he even echoed Bao Zheng's opinion.
"Saint, Your Highness, this incident is not a small lesson! I heard that the stock market and the bond market are located in the White Horse Temple and the Great Xiangguo Temple, a place outside the monks, and they are actually sent every day, and the merchants gather, trading money and goods, the amount is amazing, and it is not suitable! Moreover, if the trading market is placed in the people, there will be a situation where listening to the wind is rain, and a few rumors can shake people's hearts and disturb the world...... The minister has been in the audit department for a long time, and judging from the minister's experience, it is the right way to close the stock market and bond market, and let the imperial court preside over it. ”
Zhao Shu was very unhappy, babble, he finally pinched the evidence, and just cleaned up this group of scholars, at least to send them to the Western Regions to eat sand.
Why is it that there is no sin at all, but the stock market and the bond market are taken away, what is the reason?
He wanted to speak, but suddenly, as soon as Zhao Zhen waved his hand, Zhao Shu was too frightened to say more.
"Bao Aiqing, Han Aiqing, what you said is very reasonable, in the final analysis, this time the matter is still a lack of financial law, Sima Aiqing, you must immediately instruct the household department to take out the transaction specifications. At the same time, it is necessary to select special places and set up stock and bond markets, which cannot be left to the people, still less can they be casually allowed to let gossip affect the situation of the DPRK. There are still six departments in the political affairs hall, which must be implemented as soon as possible, and within ten days, I will see the results. ”
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he waved his hand, "I'm also tired, you all retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
Bao Zheng withdrew from the dormitory with his head, and Lu Yu and the others had already become frosted eggplants, and their bodies were soaked with cold sweat, as if they had crawled out of the water.
They are still confused and at a loss.
Just now Zhao Shu held the evidence in his hand, and he was about to be killed, and the big guys couldn't escape the fate of raiding the family and distributing it, but in a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhen actually raised it high, put it down gently, and promised to take the stock market and bond market under the ownership of the imperial court...... As long as it returns to the imperial court, hundreds of officials will be able to intervene, and they will not suffer big losses in the future.
So, Your Majesty is still towards us?
The officials have mixed tastes, thinking left and right, and they don't have a clear idea, what does the emperor want to do? They got together with the people outside and discussed with each other for a long time, and someone proposed, what kind of effort should we have!
Hurry up and ask the old-timers for advice!
At this time, it is up to Jia Xianggong to give you guidance!
……
"Holy master, I still remember that many years ago, a copper price crisis completely created the Royal Bank, and since then, the financial power has been divided, and the power of the ruling side has been greatly weakened.
Jia Changchao looked at the trembling people in front of him, "Okay, you all have fun!" Go back and have some drinks, relax, and that's it! If you lose a little money, you won't lose your head from your home, and you won't be able to fill the army. If you are not reconciled, go back and study the finances carefully, maybe you will be able to make up for the losses soon, remember, don't be stupid in the future. ”
Jia Changchao was old-fashioned, and after a lesson, he sent these people away, and Zhao Zhen also told him in the palace, "Emperor, if my father abolishes these people, I am afraid that the stock market and the bond market will become taboo, and no one will dare to invest anymore, without financial security, the development of the Western Regions will be seriously frustrated, which is also what your master means......"
