Chapter 1075: The Veteran Comes Out
Zhao Ji has two more huskies, his days are much happier, he is tired of reading, he can tease the dog, and there are ponies in the master's manor, and there are many small animals, it is simply a paradise, much more interesting than the boring East Palace.
Wang Ningan looked at the little guy's satisfied appearance and sighed very much.
If everyone can be innocent, there may not be so many things in this world.
However, the adult world is 10,000 times more complicated, and it is a headache!
After being expelled from the New Deal Society, Sima Guang was really angry, and he was angry, if he didn't teach these rabbits a lesson, he wouldn't know that Ma Wangye had three eyes!
He immediately instructed, and soon someone wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Dun, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, - his father, Zhang Yu!
Zhang Yu is just a local official, nothing but he, as Zhang Dan's father, is very important. Moreover, the impeacher also came up with evidence, saying that Zhang Yu received 500 acres of tea gardens, and these 500 acres of tea gardens were given by a person named Cai Bian.
Who is Cai Bian? He is Cai Jing's own brother!
Soon, a version came out.
Cai Jing gave gifts to Zhang Yu in order to be able to be a peaceful official, Zhang Dun, as a heavenly official, knew the law and broke the law, taught and received privately, and the crime was extremely evil, how could he still have the face to stay in the position of a heavenly official?
The imperial historians followed up one after another, impeaching Zhang Dun together, and the words became more and more excessive, just like a shrew scolding the street.
Zhang Dian is so good-tempered, he is angry and his lungs are blown!
"Ridiculous, it's all slander, slander!"
"Brother Zihou, do you mean that my uncle didn't take the tea garden?" Lu Huiqing asked.
Zhang Dian rolled his eyes, "How do I know?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been an official for so many years, and I've never taken the initiative to write a letter to my family, I never know what happened to them, let alone I will do things for them, it's nothing! ”
Lu Huiqing took a slight breath, the situation was indeed too bad.
Zhang Dian is stuck in the Ministry of Officials, in charge of personnel, and he is in the political hall, and the two of them join forces to wrestle with the second minister. But in case Zhang Dun is taken down, he will be alone, and the situation will be critical!
"Brother Zihou, I will find a way to suppress this case, let's stabilize our position first, don't let people see jokes."
Zhang Dian knew that he couldn't be angry, he thought for a while, "That's it." I went to Su Ziyou and asked him to say hello to Han Zongwu, the case can be tried, if they really accept something, I can't save them. ”
The two of them had just finished discussing and were about to do it, but they didn't know that someone was coming.
"Zhang Tianguan, this is the official document of the council."
Zhang Dian was stunned, and people stuffed the official document into his hand.
"The council asks your lords to come to the council immediately within two days to be questioned."
"What?"
Zhang Dian jumped up, I am a dignified heavenly official, not a prisoner, why should I go to the council? Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of you!
He was full of unhappiness, but Lu Huiqing knew that it was powerful...... In addition to being able to discuss the budget and intervene in personnel arrangements, they are also qualified to intervene in some major government affairs and serious malpractices...... Although the council does not have the final say.
But they are under the banner of public opinion, and if they don't do it well, they will be besieged by public opinion, which is very annoying.
"Brother Zihou, now is not the time to be angry, the council will let you go, you might as well go and have a look, no matter what, we have a lot of people, and we will definitely not let you suffer."
Zhang Duan pondered for a long time, he raised his head, a little worried, "Brother Jifu, after all, Sima Junshi has been mixed up for decades more than you and me, no matter how scheming you are, it is not comparable to us...... I see that he attacked me, just to find a breakthrough, if I fall, you, and others, may not be able to escape the poisonous hands. ”
Lu Huiqing nodded, "You're right, but is there anything we can do to deal with it now?" ”
Zhang Dian thought for a moment, "We can't fight with Sima Guang like this anymore...... If we play our cards in a proper manner, we can't win...... So, you have to work hard! ”
I have to say that this guy is really scary.
"The last time the prime minister was handed over, there was a big financial hole, and this time more than four years have passed, and the financial deficit is even more huge, so let's start from here!"
Some people may wonder why the economy is very good, but the fiscal is always in deficit, and the more it is in deficit, the more it is.
In fact, this truth is not difficult to understand.
When the economy develops, there are many opportunities, you need to increase investment, and if the budget is not enough, you have to borrow money!
Especially the construction of railways, roads, bridges...... You must not wait until you need to start building, then it will be too late.
If the conditions are complete, the land price will already rise to the sky, so it is necessary to acquire land in advance and build in advance in order to achieve the best results at the lowest cost.
Of course, there will be problems in this way, because a large amount of funds cannot be recovered due to early construction, and it is pressed on one project after another, which is manifested in finance, which is a deficit.
In addition, Zhao Shu is keen on fighting foreign wars, even if he repeatedly controls it, military spending is very amazing.
All these have caused difficulties for the households.
"It stands to reason that it is natural to repay debts. But the problem is that the money in our hands is all the people's fat and people's ointment, and it is all the taxes paid by the people! Give all this money to the bank, to the rich people, it is too cheap for them! ”
Lu Huiqing listened very carefully, "Brother Zihou, what are you going to do?" ”
"I discussed with Zeng Bu to issue a set of bonds that did not go through the bank."
"Without going through the bank?" Lu Huiqing was stunned, "Can this work?" ”
"Why not! As long as we promise to exchange normally, let's ask the world, is there a bank with better credit than the household? ”
"This ......" Lu Huiqing fell into deep thought.
He thought hard that if he really did what he did, the deficit of the household department would be immediately wiped out, and on the contrary, a large amount of money would be left over for construction.
However, there is no doubt that doing so is tantamount to moving the pie of the banking system, and they will not give up!
Should you do it or not?
This is probably the most difficult decision for Lu Huiqing to make, and it took him a while before he opened his eyes, looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them understood each other's meaning in an instant.
"Brother Zihou, if I don't agree, are you going to abandon me?"
"It's not abandonment! Instead, hang the crown and beg to go! ”
Zhang Duan got up and slapped his buttocks, "It's done, I'm going to fight with those bastards tomorrow, and I'll go and rest now." He stretched, dozed off, and left Lu Huiqing's study.
Lu Huiqing was not in a hurry to rest, he paced slowly on the ground, constantly thinking about Zhang's suggestion.
Speaking of which, the currency of the Great Song Dynasty is still quite chaotic at the moment.
There is no way to do this, because the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty was too fast, and Wang Ning'an had already determined the gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals in the territory during his tenure and nationalized them.
But recently, the Great Song Dynasty took Liaodong again, and also laid down the Seljuk, there are a lot of gold mines in both places, and then there is the Wa Kingdom, which supplied 8% of the gold and silver of the Great Song Dynasty.
Because of official mining, the cost is too great.
The gold and silver in these places are still in the stage of gold diggers.
The adventurers mined the gold, resold it to the upper echelons of merchants, resold it layer by layer, and finally concentrated it in the hands of a few large banks and large insurance institutions.
In order for the Royal Bank to issue money, it needs to buy gold and silver from these banks, which in turn is the basis for issuing money. In other words, the Royal Bank does not have the full capacity to issue money autonomously.
If you want to reform this area, you will definitely touch the interests of the financial group, and Sima Guang will not agree to it.
Therefore, Zhang Dian proposed to avoid the banking system and let the household department issue bonds as currency.
I have to say that this is a genius idea, and at the same time, it is also a very controversial thing.
He was silent for a long time before quietly leaving the house, and in the servant's carriage, he came to a small courtyard.
Walking in, someone was already waiting.
"It's Brother Jifu, please take a seat!" Xiao Yu enthusiastically gave up his seat.
Lu Huiqing nodded hurriedly, he sat down, and said directly: "Sima Junshi is pressing step by step, Zhang Zihou proposes to counterattack!" Xiao Yu smiled, "Brother Jifu, the pass is your opinion!" ”
"Me? The eldest husband can only live by standing, not by kneeling...... Sima Junshi colluded with science and betrayed the New Politics Society, which has violated the teacher's strategy. As a disciple of the teacher, I have no choice but to fight to the death and fight him to the end! ”
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "Brother Jifu, Bohai Province found out a case of embezzlement of ink a few days ago, involving a secretary of state, and this person has been taken down. ”
Lu Huiqing was a little dazed, "There is indeed such a thing, I heard that this person is from the New Politics Society...... Could it be an unjust case? ”
Xiao Yu shook his head, "The New Politics Society is also uneven, there is nothing strange about a corrupt official, the key is that Bohai has vacated a place for the secretary of state." ”
Lu Huiqing still doesn't understand, what's the difference between walking one and replacing one? Could it be?
He suddenly became excited, "Senior brother, could it be?" ”
Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, "Let's wait for tomorrow to reveal!" Brother Jifu, you should also hurry up and rest! ”
When I returned home again, Lu Huiqing was lying in bed, it was a good night's sleep, and I couldn't sleep better!
Sima Junshi, you are at the end of your work, and Master is going to clean you up!
Soon came the next day.
In front of the council, a large number of people have gathered.
After coming, the people were automatically divided into three groups, the largest of which was the New Deal Society, the other two were Lixue, and Sima Junshi's disciples, these two groups looked similar, in other words, they had joined forces and had overwhelmed the New Deal Society in terms of numbers!
Whether it was Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu, or Su Zhe, or Wang Shao, they were all a little uneasy. And Sima Guang smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking confident.
Just when everyone arrived and was about to start the discussion, someone suddenly came, and it was Prime Minister Su Song who walked in front, and next to Su Song was a white-haired old man.
As soon as this old man appeared, everyone was stunned, but he grimaced and reproached: "The imperial court entrusts me with important affairs, how can my generation wait and ignore it!" Don't go in with the old man to discuss politics! ”
This swaggered, walked in front of Zhou Dunshi, and snorted at him, Lao Zhou was made to have no temper at all, so he could only follow obediently......
