Chapter 189: If you don't have a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are
"What is the duty of Jin Yiwei? At the beginning, Grandpa Tai founded Jinyiwei, so that Jinyiwei supervised hundreds of officials internally, and specialized in the betrayal of foreign enemies and the party externally, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji! If Jinyiwei really became the emperor's watchdog, it would be against the original intention of the grandfather! Chen Di said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Bing was speechless for a while by Chen Di, the fifteen-year-old governor.
Chen Di said again: "Nanzhen Fusi has hundreds of horses, all of them have unique skills. If you spend all your energy on assassinating the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it is really ridiculous and generous! ”
Chen Di's clever mouth almost jumped ashore with the fish in the river! Lu Bing's heart began to struggle.
Lu Bing said: "Okay, I'll believe you once." But if you really do something to plot to usurp the throne in the future, even if there is only one person left in my Nanzhen Fusi, you will die! ”
Chen Di said: "Very good! But that day won't come! Because I, Chen Di, is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty even if he dies, and he will never seek to usurp the throne! I have a serious matter for Nanzhen Fuji to do now! ”
Lu Bing asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Di said: "Although the peace agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars was successful, the heart of the Ming Dynasty will not die if the Tatars die!" Now that the border horse market has reopened, I hope that the Tiqi of Nanzhen Fusi can disguise themselves as merchants of the Ming Dynasty and enter the grassland to spy on the internal affairs of the Tatars! ”
Lu Bingdao: "As you said just now, Jinyiwei is in charge of foreign enemies and betrayal of the party. Spying on the intelligence of the Tatars is the business of the Jinyi Guard. Don't worry, I'll do it right away. I have three chapters with you, first, as long as it is for the sake of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future, my brothers and I will obey your orders! Second, Jin Yiwei will not be the emperor's watchdog, and he will never be the watchdog of Governor Chen! Third, it is still the same sentence, if you seek to usurp the throne, I will kill you! ”
Chen Di breathed a long sigh of relief, with these three chapters of the covenant, Jinyiwei will be able to be used by me in the future. After all, everything he Chen Di did was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!
Lu Bing turned to leave, and suddenly he turned his head and said two words to Chen Di: "I know that when I was in Jiashan County, how could you enter the urn with the dog and livestock that you said with one mouth." Your mouth is really a clever tongue. ”
Chen Di arched his hand and smiled: "Commander Lu has won the award!" ”
Just got the brocade guard, and something happened to the household department!
Zhang Juzheng, the left attendant of the household department, hurriedly found Chen Di: "My lord, Yan Ge is looking for you to discuss important matters!" ”
Chen Di asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "What else can it be, the household department has no money!" ”
Yan Song was waiting for Chen Di in the Xiyuan duty room.
As soon as he entered the duty room, Yan Song said to Chen Di: "The Taicang Treasury of the Household Department is out of stock!" ”
Chen Di asked: "Didn't you open the inner carrier warehouse and transfer some of the silver to the household department?" ”
Yan Song smiled bitterly: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to your family!" The floods and droughts in the southern provinces need to be relieved of the people, and the Great Wall in the north needs to be repaired to prevent the suffering. Zhejiang and Shanxi need to be rebuilt with silver after a war disaster. The millions of taels of silver in the inner carrier warehouse are just a drop in the bucket! At present, the provincial finances and taxes of this season have not been escorted into Beijing, and the household department can't cook without rice! What I mean, transfer two million taels from the military salary of the Flying Tiger Army to the household department first! The horizontal and vertical meat is rotten in the pot, and it is indispensable, and when the provincial finance, taxation and silver arrive in Beijing, they will make up for the Flying Tiger Army. ”
Chen Di secretly said in his heart, okay, you Yan Shoufu, isn't this what I eat and spit it out?
Chen Di was in front of Zhang Juzheng, and it was not good to call Yan Song his father-in-law again, he said: "Shoufu, the Flying Tiger Army has begun to expand its army, and the military salary cannot be moved!" When I negotiated with Altan Khan, I once told him that the Great Wall of China would surrender empty! What is the use of the Great Wall even if it is repaired? It's just a waste of official money. As long as the expansion of the Flying Tiger Army is completed, those Hu'er who are fighting will not dare to go south! Save on this expense! ”
Yan Song said: "Even if this item is saved, disaster relief and reconstruction, where do these two silver taels come from?" ”
Chen Di thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
He said: "Now the ticket numbers of Jin merchants and Hui merchants are all over the world. In the capital, there are no less than 20 Jin merchants and Hui merchants! The imperial court can use this season's treasury and tax silver as collateral to borrow some silver taels from these ticket numbers to tide over the difficulties! ”
The method Chen Di said was similar to the treasury bonds issued by the government in later generations.
Yan Song was a little dissatisfied: "Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last!" Do you want the court to borrow money from those lowly merchants? ”
Chen Di said: "Shoufu, there is only one way at the moment!" What kind of Shinong industry and commerce, that's all the old yellow calendar! The Ming Law also stipulates that merchants are not allowed to wear silk and satin! Which of today's businessmen is not brocade? When the court is in trouble, it is not ashamed to borrow some money from its own people to tide over the difficulties! ”
Yan Song said: "Even if the court pulls this face, can those ticket number merchants agree?" ”
Chen Di said: "I can definitely agree!" It is very beneficial to lend money to the court with the ticket number! First, the imperial court uses fiscal and tax silver to offset the payment, so they don't have to worry that their capital can't be recovered, and they can still get a certain amount of interest. What businessman would not do a sure-fire deal? Second, they helped the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally think about their benefits in the future. Why wouldn't they do it? If you borrow more than 300,000 taels of ticket numbers, the imperial court can personally issue them a plaque of 'righteous businessman'! Shoufu calligraphy is the best in the world, self-contained, this plaque is going to bother you! ”
Yan Song nodded: "The all-round talent of civil and military affairs is the all-round talent of civil and military affairs, not only can fight, but also accumulate wealth!" ”
Yan Song turned his head and instructed Zhang Juzheng: "According to the meaning of the Grand Governor, you immediately go and notify the ticket numbers in the capital!" ”
Chen Di said: "But borrowing money from the ticket number is always a way to catch fish. Yin eats the grain, and when the grain is gone, there is no food to eat! ”
Yan Song shook his head helplessly: "What's the solution?" Last year, the total tax and silver of the two capitals and 13 provinces for the whole year was 45,367,000 taels, and the expenditure budget reported by the six ministries at the beginning of last year was 39,800,000 taels. However, at the end of last year, the accounts reported by various ministries cost a total of 53.8 million taels of silver. The deficit last year reached 8.43 million taels! Locally, only taxes can be levied on the people, and some provinces have already levied taxes for 30 years in Jiajing! This home of Daming is not easy to be! ”
Chen Di said: "One financial item is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditure. Throttling, I think a few palaces in the palace will stop working. In addition, the expenses of the emperor and the ladies in the palace have also been halved. ”
Yan Song said: "Isn't this abusing the emperor? What do you want the world to say? ”
Chen Di said: "The state affairs are difficult, and the emperor should spend the difficult times with the people of the world!" This truth makes sense in which dynasty and which generation! ”
Yan Song said: "What about the open source? ”
Chen Di said: "Let me think about this carefully, and report it to Shoufu in a few days!" ”
