Zhang Juzheng was ordered to come to King Yu's mansion, but found that Shen Mo was also here. Although he was a little surprised, he still greeted him very affectionately and silently. Shen Mo also responded with a smile on his face, like a reunion of an old friend. But both of them knew in their hearts that even though each other's ambitions had never changed, their relationship had changed a little......

But in the eyes of King Yu, it is really a great blessing that the two rare talents can gather under his command, so he asked Zhang Juzheng to show tea, and warmly beckoned the two to sit down and said: "Mr. Shen has just come back from the southeast, and Mr. Zhang has never seen it?" ”

"Naturally, I heard about it," Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "But thinking about Lord Shen's tired journey, for sure."

I want to rest for a few days, so I haven't visited yet. ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "It should be me going to visit Brother Taiyue." ”

"Where, where ......" The two of them are polite and polite, and they feel tired of being vague and pretending, but the prince likes to listen, and he laughed and said: "Don't patronize the greetings, Taiyue is here for the lonely king, but what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Mo, and said in his heart that the teacher had already greeted him, so it was better to tell him about it in front of him, maybe he could also help. Then he bowed his hand to King Yu and said: "The lower officials came here to ask the prince to save someone." ”

"Oh......" King Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this="Who can the Lone King save;!" ”

"Only the prince can save this man." Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "If you don't save him, he will only have a dead end."

"Who?" King Yu frowned slightly, and intuitively he felt that this matter must be tricky

Habitually want to shirk.

But Zhang Juzheng is no kind of person, and he will never let King Yu succeed, so he said: "He is a person who has helped the prince a lot." ”

"Oh?" King Yu became interested and said, "Don't sell Guanzi, who are you talking about?" ”

"Liu Tao." Zhang Ju Zheng reported the name of the man, and then told Xu Jie's set of words

The prince listened.

When King Yu heard this, his face changed for a while, and he turned his head and asked Shen Mo: "How many times did Lord Liu really help Gu speak in the court?" ”

"It is true." Shen Mo bowed his head and said: "Wei Ju has seen it twice, and the spine is the person of King Jing."

had the upper hand, but Lord Liu still supported the prince without hesitation. ”

"Oh......" King Yu still believed in Shen Mo's words, "Then I have to help ...... with this favor" said with a little weakness = "Of course, I have to do it alone" As the actual crown prince, it was really a bit of a shame to say such things, but he felt that Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng were not outsiders and could understand their own situation.

"For the prince, it's just a gesture." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "You only need to talk to Gao Butang and express your concern for Liu Tao, and he will naturally help you get things done." After a pause, he said, "Of course, you can't say that it was your subordinate's idea. ”

"Hmm," Yu Wang thought for a moment and said, "It's not a problem to talk to Master Gao, but I'm not sure that he can listen to me." Said with a somewhat embarrassed smile and said: "You also know that as soon as he gets up, the king of heaven can't break it." ”

"He'll definitely listen to this matter." Zhang Juzheng smiled at Shen Mo and said, "Humble words."

Brother, are you right? ”

"Uncle said yes, then it must be." Shen Mo nodded, and said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, the history of Liu Tao's case can be big or small, and it is not good for you to come out at the right time to make a final decision."

"This ......" Yuwang was already quite moved) but still a little worried = "No one will make a fuss about this, right?" "It's not just a matter of prudence, how many years have been spent in fear and worry, so that this heavenly nobleman has lost his courage and has nothing to bear.

It wasn't until Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng repeatedly assured that there were no adverse consequences that King Yu finally agreed, and obviously felt that he had something on his mind and was absent-minded when talking to people.

When the two of them saw each other, they knew that the prince was not interested, so they got up and said goodbye with interest, and King Yu came back to his senses and kept the two of them after lunch. But the two politely declined, and King Yu didn't force them to stay, sent the two out of the backyard, and turned back.

Shen Mo and Zhang Jukui walked side by side in the thousand-step corridor full of yellow leaves, the palace was very quiet, and the two of them did not speak, only heard the rustling sound of stepping on the fallen leaves.

"Uncle ......" and "Humble ......" After the silence, the two of them opened their mouths together

looked at each other and smiled: "You say ...... first" "You say it first......

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "What kind of characters are we? How can I learn to bang - some sour, twist and pinch up

Here it comes? ”

"Hahaha......" The silent laughter was hearty and said = "That's right) Let's forget it."

You can't treat each other with all sincerity, but you have to be happy, otherwise it will be an insult to you and me!"

"Well said!" Zhang Juzheng slapped his palms and smiled: "Just because of this consensus, we must also float a lot!" Saying that, he stretched out his hand and asked: "If you want to please, it's better to meet by chance, since you met here, let the foolish brother be the villager, and wash the dust for the humble words!"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Shen Mo smiled casually.

"Okay," Zhang Juzheng smiled heartily: "I know that there is a restaurant in Shichahai, and the storm is the most."

It's pleasant, near the lake to enjoy the flowers, it's a good place to drink!"

"Uncle and brother strongly recommend it, it must not be a vulgar place," Shen Mo said happily: "Let's go out."

Send it. "Both of them are dressed in civilian clothes today, but they don't need to

**Kung Fu, go directly to the north, pass the Desheng Gate, and follow those cyan Gaomen people**East, and then arrive at Qianhai...... There are six seas in the city of Beijing, Haizi is the name of the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, it is the lake, of which the middle sea, the South China Sea, the North Sea belong to the royal exclusive enjoyment, the Qianhai, the back sea and the West Sea are collectively referred to as Shichahai. Although Shichahai is not a forbidden garden, it is also occupied by the mansions of princes and nobles, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

But that was all at the beginning of the country, more than a hundred years have passed, those high gates and deep courtyards have long changed owners, and this Shichahai has also become a feng shui treasure that ordinary people can set foot in.

With the thoughts flying wildly, the two came to the bright Houhai beach.

At this time, the Houhai, the willow silk lingers, the autumn waves flow, the autumn rhyme is moving, the two can no longer bear it, and they invariably order people to get off the sedan chair and walk along the seaside. Passing the sea tower, to the silver ingot bridge, one step at a time, the scenery is beautiful; The rise and fall of the imperial capitals of the two dynasties for a hundred years also appeared in front of your eyes like a glimpse of light. It makes you unable to appreciate it simply as a landscape, and it always triggers some eternal sighs such as 'emperors and generals, right and wrong'.

Fortunately, there are occasionally some narrow alleys that only allow one or two people to pass, with small doors and low walls

You know that this place not only belongs to history, but also to emperors and generals, but also to ordinary people.

Under the leadership of Zhang Juzheng, the group got into such a narrow alley, don't look at this alley cramped, but the restaurant hotel that can be opened on the shore of the back sea with every inch of land must not be affordable for ordinary people.

In the alley, in front of a doorway similar to a house, Zhang Juzheng knocked on the closed courtyard door. Standing silently behind him, looking at the doorway of this Shishi Town Gate, he saw that there were red lanterns hanging on the door, painted lintels, and an autumn tree sticking out of the wall, and the yellow leaves shaking down, which made people feel peaceful.

At this time, the door opened, and a handsome little guy in a green coat and a small hat came out, and after seeing Zhang Juzheng clearly, he bowed down and smiled: "It turned out to be Master Zhang, please come inside." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded, then stretched out his hand to ask Shen Mo to go first, Shen Mo was not polite to him, and the two entered the dark gate side by side. After entering, it is a very exquisite, but not too big front yard, there is a rockery pool in the courtyard, planting trees and flowers, and preparing a tank to raise fish, which looks no different from ordinary people. But look closely, you can find its unique place one by one, east and west north three walls, actually open more than ten months bright door, just cleverly hidden in the flowers, trees, mountains and stones, if not the late autumn grass and trees sparse, with the careful silence, it is difficult to see the clues.

"See that?" Zhang Juzheng explained to him in a low voice: "Don't look at the door of this place, the face is not big, but there are thousands of autumns inside, these eighteen door openings all lead to an independent courtyard, as long as the store is slightly guided, it will not face other guests at all, and people with status are best this mouth." ”

Shen Mo nodded and smiled, indicating Zou.

The little guy on the side looked at his words and looks, and could see that this handsome young man seemed to have a higher status than Master Zhang, so he naturally served carefully, and said, "Second master, do you want a shelter from the wind, or a bright spot?" ”

"I'm waiting for the light, of course I'm going to be open." Zhang Juzheng smiled: "Last time, that one."

Is there a courtyard near the sea now? ”

The little guy smiled complimentarily: "Naturally, no one else comes, but you two come, you have to have if you don't." "It made the two of them very happy.

While talking, the little guy led the two into the second exquisite moon gate in the east, and after entering, there was a hole in the sky, only to see both sides of the courtyard path, full of colorful and different styles of chrysanthemums, the antique, red pillars and green tiles of the small courtyard painting building, decorated as if a spring day, making people feel happy.

Entering the room and sitting down, the little guy put up the row of windows on the east side, and the sparkling Houhai outside poured into his eyes, Zhang Juzheng asked him to put up the windows on the west side, look at the lake on the left and enjoy the chrysanthemums on the right, and then instructed the little guy to put the dishes on the table, so don't bother again, and don't even need to call people up.

The little guy was used to seeing this kind of scene, and knew that the adults had something to talk about, so he bowed down and retreated. Zhang Juzheng smiled and said to Shen Mo: "I didn't tell you, this place is not bad, right?" ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I've been in Beijing for a few years, and I never knew there was such a wonderful world.

"I didn't know that long ago," Zhang Juzhengfu said, "Do you know who the master here is?" ”

"I look at the traces of this place on the outside, and there are thousands of autumns inside," Shen Mo muttered slightly, "I want to come to the store."

Home, it should be extraordinary. ”

"You didn't say that." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's not difficult for you, let me tell you, the master here is the boss of Ri Nanlong, Puzhou giant Wang Chongyi...... Most people don't know about this. ”

"And how do you know?" Shen Mo's heart moved, and he smiled kindly.

Zhang Ju∽ didn't hide it from him, and said lightly: "Because he brought me here." ”

"There must be something to ask for." Seeing that Zhang Ju was straightforward, he didn't want to hide it. clumsy, so as not to be

He saw clearly.

"How do you know people, don't you just want to make friends?" Zhang Juzheng smiled.

"I know the details of those old Xi'er." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Wang Chongyi's own brother."

called Wang Chonggu, the governor of Liaodong; nephew Zhang Siwei, governor of Shandong; Yang Bo, the governor of the three sides...

"Stop, stop," Zhang Juzheng shook his hand and smiled: "Why do you feel so much about other people's details."

Interest? ”

"Hehe," Shen Mo replied, "I just want to explain, even if people want to blame Xiaoxiao."

If Lord Zhang has a good relationship, he will not let Wang Chongyi go out. ”

"You're right." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Indeed, they are looking for it."

I have something to ask for.

"Then invite me to come today," Shen Mo smiled faintly, "Isn't it temporary?" ”

"Don't doubt my sincerity." Zhang Juzheng smiled and talked to him to the point: "You know that I am now transferred to the household department, and Wang Chongyi is looking for me, but it is for a big business. Zhang Juzheng was in the ministry for a short time, and was transferred to the household department as the left waiter, Xu Jie said that he wanted him to understand government affairs as soon as possible, but in fact, he was still worried that he would let those Henan people abduct him.

"What's the matter?" Shen Mo felt a little weird, Zhang Juzheng invited himself to come to Lao Xi'er's territory to talk about cooperation with Lao Xi'er, and the meaning of official * business * collusion * was also a little heavier: "Is it necessary to let me know?" ”

Seeing the vigilance in Shen Mo's words, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Humble words, I invite you here to show that I am absolutely selfless," said with a self-deprecating smile: "Actually, I don't want to deal with these businessmen, but this time their offer is too tempting for me to refuse." ”

At this time, the bell rang in the room, and Zhang Juzheng stopped talking and said outside: "Come in." The little guy came up with two men, carrying four food boxes, serving the dishes with his hands and feet, and scalding the wine for the two of them, and soon quietly bowed and retired.

Zhang Juzheng poured a glass for Shen Mo and said, "But because the matter is big, I want to hear your opinion." After a pause, he almost confessed: "You let it go, I, Zhang Taiyue, will not collude with profiteers and damage the interests of the imperial court." ”

"Is the foolish brother the kind of pedantic person?" Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "What's the matter, uncle."

Just say it, my brother knows everything. As he spoke, he gently clinked his glass with Zhang Juzheng.

"Okay." Zhang Juzheng raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a gritted tooth: "That's the case, Wang Chongyi applied with me, and wanted the household department to hand over the issuance of the Ming treasure banknote to them...... I happened to be in charge of the treasure money lifting division, and of course I couldn't ask for it, and I guess if I told the ministry, he wouldn't refuse. Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "But the matter is big, and I am worried that there will be hidden dangers that I can't see, so I didn't rush to report it." I know you're an expert on this, and I'd like to hear what you have to say. ”

"Well...... "Silently took a chopstick white chicken and chewed it carefully, and his heart turned upside down...... Over the years, with a stronger heritage than Huilian, the Japanese man who started by imitating the former, as his name suggests, has prospered like the rising sun in the east, and has formed a confrontation with Huilian...... Not only did it occupy an absolute advantage in the northern provinces, but it also moved south in a big way in an attempt to gain a foothold in the southern market.

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? The Huilian, which has long regarded the southeastern provinces as forbidden provinces, will naturally not allow the Japanese to invade, and the two sides have their own strange plans, open and secret battles, and have fought several times on various battlefields...... Although relying on the geographical advantages and people, the Huilian has been suppressing the Japanese manlong, but it has never been able to drive it out of the southeast.

The shareholders of Hinantaka also asked him for help, hoping to use the weapon of power to achieve things that could not be done in the mall, but he was rejected by his eyes. Shen Mo told them that he would only make a move when the other party also used the government, otherwise if you want to defeat the opponent, you can only rely on yourself.

This is because he knows very well that monopoly is a super poison that brings rigidity and stifles progress, and even if there is no Japanese man, he will support another company or even several ticket numbers to compete with Huilian, and will not only focus on the immediate interests, but bury the future of the banking industry.

It's just that Nanlong didn't have such an awareness as him that day, and the temperament of Shanxi businessmen was also the most understanding, and this time he actually wanted to take over one of the worst stalls in Daming, which made Shen Mo instinctively feel uneasy......

Let's talk about the Ming treasure banknote first, this thing is one of the several big fools of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather. The so-called treasure money is paper money. The government's issuance of banknotes is not the first of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, there have been successful experiences, all for a long time, so that banknotes are truly recognized by the people and become the domestic currency.

There are two prerequisites for the circulation of banknotes, one is that the credibility of the issuing agency is recognized by the people, and the other is that the value of the banknote must be guaranteed...... The simplest way to do this is to promise that it can be freely redeemed with gold and silver. In fact, the Song and Yuan dynasties were able to succeed because their banknotes could be exchanged for gold and silver. And my Daming banknotes are missing this function...... The reasons for this are, first, that Emperor Zhu and his ministers were extremely lacking in the knowledge of currency issuance, and second, that at that time, just after the troubled times, silver and copper, as a traditional currency, were extremely scarce, and the government simply did not have the ability to redeem it.

So the Ming treasure banknote came out in this congenital deficiency situation. As a result, a large number of 'treasure banknotes' with coarse paper and indurable durability poured into the market, and only issued but not collected, neither demarcated nor recycled, resulting in more and more banknotes circulating in the market, and eventually flooding. , in the Hongwu years, it was inflationary and depreciated very quickly...... As a result, the government has almost completely lost its ability to regulate the economy, and has even fallen into a protracted economic crisis......

Alas...... I'm speechless to myself, every time I make a promise, something will definitely mess me up, and I won't promise anything again...... But this time it's a good thing, the legendary Sanjiang interview, you can take a look at my work related.
