Chapter 234: The Storm in the Capital IX
"Your Majesty! If the current policy is implemented, then what should be done with the warehouse money in the hands of those merchants? After a few cabinet ministers finished speaking, Bi Ziyan asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chongzhen then looked at the four cabinet elders and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, talk about it!" What's a good idea? ”
After a while, Sun Chengzong, as the first assistant, still replied first: "Your Majesty! Weichen suggested that this warehouse banknote can still be exchanged, but it must be exchanged after the output goes up, but this exchange must be set up a ratio, not according to the original full exchange, this proportion will be confirmed after the household department and Zhongxingwei count out the unified price! ”
After hearing this, several other people nodded, and then Cheng Jiming said, "Your Majesty! In addition, if the old regulations are to be abolished and the exchange of warehouse notes is also allowed, then there will inevitably be many businessmen and even our colleagues who will frantically start buying these warehouse notes, many of which have not yet been exchanged for salt because of the lack of salt production. And the big salt merchants who have a relationship to exchange salt can't exchange the warehouse money in their hands, and they are not willing to exchange more, because the more they exchange, the more taxes they have to pay, it is better to exchange some, and then add some private salt to sell it more affordably. Therefore, the warehouse banknotes have been low, almost into waste paper, and now if the output goes up, then there will inevitably be the situation that Weichen said! ”
After hearing this, several other people couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this is indeed a question, and then Liu Hongxun said: "Your Majesty! Weichen thought that in addition to what Lord Shoufu said just now, he could also add a period of exchange according to a certain percentage, and after this period, all warehouse banknotes would be invalidated, and a limit would be set for each household according to different circumstances, and no exchange would be allowed if the limit was exceeded! ”
"That's a hard limit! Ordinary people may be better! Those big households, as well as the current salt merchants, are difficult! Xu Guangqi added, and then Xu Guangqi continued: "Wechen thought that as soon as the reform plan came out, the information would be spread all over the country through the current post station, and the efficiency of the post station has been greatly improved after the reform, so that the people can also understand the information of the imperial court in time, I believe that they may not sell it after knowing the information, and even if they sell, they will not suffer a loss." Even if there will be many people who will earn it in this process, it will not hurt, it can reflect the prestige of the imperial court! In addition, before the reform plan is released, it needs to be kept strictly confidential! ”
"Not bad! OK! That's it! Chongzhen smiled and nodded.
"But Your Majesty! Expiration and invalidation are not allowed to be exchanged, which will also make some people misunderstand that the salt of the imperial court is not enough, so it cannot be exchanged, so how to deal with it? Bi Ziyan continued.
"That's easy! Let all the officials in charge of salt administration be laid off! I fried their squid! Chongzhen blurted out.
Emperor Chongzhen's words immediately stunned everyone, what did His Majesty the Emperor say?
"It's all gone! Now that the imperial examination has also begun, there will be a lot of newcomers, let them exercise or exercise, I believe they will be happy! Chongzhen said with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Your Majesty is bold enough! Then Chongzhen said: "Okay! That's it! That's the outline! The specific details and data are still available when the relevant ministers are convened for discussion, and then the cabinet can put forward them when the court is meeting, and I also understand that there will be many ministers who will oppose it, and it will be no hindrance, and those who block the new policy will be killed! After saying that, a cold light flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, although this emperor has been in contact for a long time, but his mind is really unpredictable, it is really true to accompany the king like a tiger, everyone sighed.
A few days later, when Chongzhen and his ministers were discussing the reform of the salt administration, some impeachment notes flew up to Chongzhen's imperial case like snowflakes.
"What's going on?!" Chongzhen smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty! The old slave has already been sorted out! This pile is the impeachment of Luo Ying and the other four commanders by the imperial history, some of them are impeached for privately mobilizing troops in an attempt to rebel, some are impeached for accepting bribes, there are no kings, and there are illegal enclosures, etc.; In addition, this pile is the impeachment of the king of Chu in the imperial history, the main content is that there are oversized buildings and government soldiers in the palace of the king of Chu, there is an attempt to rebel, and the king of Chu is doing evil in Wuchang City, doing wrong, oppressing the people, and there is a letter from the people of Wuchang who denounced the king of Chu; The last pile is the imperial history impeaching some officials in the Jianghuai region, colluding with businessmen, bullying the people, selling illicit salt with businessmen for huge profits, using power to accept bribes, and so on! Cao Huachun reported.
"It's really interesting, fighting each other?" Chongzhen asked with interest.
"Your Majesty! According to the old slave, this is now the situation of Shu and Wu uniting to resist Cao! Your Majesty, you see, there are more of the bunches of impeachment of the King of Chu than the other two bunches combined! Cao Huachun said with a smile.
"Oh! Interesting! Okay, leave these to ZV! They know what to do! The corners of Chongzhen's mouth twitched, he was not interested in watching these concerts that gave him a headache now。。。。。。
Soon, these swords were thrown directly to Wang Chengen like a burden, Wang Chengen looked at these swords, and the whole person's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and then waved his big hand and said: "The east wind is finally here!" Boys! It's work! According to these impeached things, the search began, and some of them were found for me, and those who didn't have them hummed! Do you understand? ”
"Wei Gong rest assured! The lowly ones know! Several elite subordinates said with a smile.
"Good job! The errand is done, and you have fun! Wang Chengen said with a smile.
"Yes! Wei Gong! Several people answered the order, and then quickly disappeared into the room.
Looking at the direction they left, Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Let the storm come more violently!" ”
In the next few days, Zhongxingwei's people began to shuttle through the streets and alleys of Beijing, and from time to time people were taken to Zhongxingwei, looking at their figures, many officials couldn't help but think of the days when Wei Zhongxian was in power, and now this posture seems to have a feeling of reappearance yesterday, but the people in power have changed from Wei Zhongxian to Wang Chengen, and then naturally the impeachment of Wang Chengen has arrived in front of Chongzhen's imperial case like snowflakes, but Chongzhen can't see these notes at all, Because he had been ordered by Chongzhen to throw it into the trash can before he saw it, Cao Huachun looked at the slow trash can with a smile, shook his head, and said silently: "Why do these ministers bother? ”
On the other side, Wei Zhongxian naturally teased Wang Chengen from time to time and said, "Princess! How does it feel to be impeached? ”
"It's fine! OK! Wang Chengen said with a smile, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.
As the investigation continued, soon, Zhongxingwei's people came to Luo Ying's mansion again, and Luo Ying seemed to have been prepared, and he followed Zhongxingwei's people very cooperatively, Luo's calm made many officials puzzled, this is not like Zhongxingwei's style, where did the bandits enter the village in the past? Just go in and take someone and go out peacefully? When did the people of Zhongxingwei become so civilized?
In a room in the Bandung Commercial Bank, two people sat looking at each other, and one of them said, "Uncle Tian! Zhongxingwei's people have turned from dark to light, as long as it is related to this case, they have been taken away, I believe that soon they will come to take Xiaogui away, should we send him back to Yangzhou now? ”
"This 。。。。。。" Tian Hongyu hesitated, now that the situation of this case is becoming clearer and clearer, he has already felt that this whole case is not as simple as it seems on the surface today, so he is not sure what the thing behind this is still unsure, he doesn't want to mix it too much, and finally damage his own interests.
"Uncle Tian! It's too late! Wu Mofeng said hurriedly.
"That's it! You leave first, as for Wang boy, even if Zhongxingwei takes it away, they won't do anything to him for my sake, and now that you haven't been involved, leave now quickly! Tian Hongyu said.
"Uncle Tian! What is ZTE? Jinyi Wei Kadong factory! I dare to vouch for my life when I go in with Xiaogui's temperament, and within a quarter of an hour, he will confess immediately! Wu Mofeng smiled bitterly.
Tian Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, as Wu Mofeng said, Wang Quangui's kid couldn't last more than a quarter of an hour when he went in, and then Tian Hongyu also said: "You said to send it away, where to send it?" After the Beijing battalion took over the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the entire Beijing Division could only enter and not get out, and could not get out at all, and Zhou Yuji was a piece of wood, which didn't make sense at all! ”
"Don't you know Governor Lu? Why don't you let him help? Wu Mofeng pleaded.
"It's just a few sides, Governor Lu is not easy to speak, it's useless, and at this juncture, it's useless! Your father has a dark place in Beijing, you leave first now, and I will send someone to escort you! Tian Hongyu said.
Wu Mofeng looked at Tian Hongyu, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't delay, Uncle Tian!" Take care! Thank you for always taking care of you! ”
"What a word! You're my nephew! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.
Wu Mofeng nodded, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out, and after closing the door, Wu Mofeng's face suddenly turned cold: "What a Tian Hongyu!" Just ask for self-preservation, hum, and have a virtue with that Wang Fu! It seems that it is better to ask for others than for yourself! After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Wang Quangui's room.
