"Your Majesty, this is the rules for the issuance of gold and silver banknotes drawn up by the minister, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Wen Tianxiang handed the piece in his hand to Ye Yingwu and replied seriously, "The day before yesterday, the Oriental Fleet escorted the first batch of silver from Japan, which is enough for 10,000 taels, if this continues, I am afraid that the 200,000 taels of silver needed in the first stage will be able to be collected soon." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, stretched out his hand and took the chapter: "It's hard work Song Rui." ”

"This is the duty of the minister," Wen Tianxiang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "but the minister is still a little worried, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Slightly stunned, Ye Yingwu was really the first time to see Wen Tianxiang take the initiative to put forward opinions, after all, before this, the new policies that he had absorbed and integrated from later generations often gave Wen Tianxiang a refreshing feeling, so they rarely put forward their own objections or improvement suggestions, and just did what Ye Yingwu told them. So today, Ye Yingwu was taken aback, and then smiled and said, "Just say it." ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded: "Your Majesty may not know, with the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, the prestige of paper money in the people was greatly reduced, and then although the Song Dynasty had a lot of room to recover, but in the end it was a failure, and even the circulation and issuance of gold and silver as currency have been greatly hindered, and the people really trust the traditional copper coins." ”

Ye Yingwu frowned. Wen Tianxiang said the truth, because in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing used a large number of paper money to curb the soaring prices due to border chaos and the luxurious life of the royal family, which also led to the first major depreciation of paper money in Chinese history and even in the history of world currency, which almost bankrupted many people.

In another time and space, the dominance of gold, silver and paper money was enforced after the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, and was inherited by the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, if Ye Yingwu wants to establish a financial system with gold, silver and paper money as the main body, he must change the people's distrust of paper money, but he cannot directly take coercive measures like the Mongols.

"So, it's going to take a little bit of work?" Ye Yingwu looked at Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang snorted: "So this matter is still up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Ye Yingwu suddenly took a light breath. Although the Ming Dynasty has been victorious in foreign wars for several consecutive years, and the Ming court also has a very high prestige among the people by virtue of this, this is only in foreign wars.

With the development of economy and trade, the people are more and more interested in interests. That is to say, the people believed that the Ming Dynasty could bring them real benefits and benefits through foreign wars, so they supported and supported the Ming Dynasty to wage war against Mongolia and other countries and expand their territory, but this did not mean that Shilin, Shangjia and the thousands of people below also supported the decision made by the imperial court in other aspects.

In particular, the reform of the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has just been completed, and the people have not yet seen the advantages for themselves, so the reform strategy of the central court on the economy is far from the point of obeying the words, so relying solely on the orders and will of the imperial court to force the implementation of paper money, although it can be implemented, but the effect is likely to be counterproductive.

If it arouses the disgust of the people, businessmen, and the people, it will not only greatly hurt the prestige of the Ming court among the people, but also make it difficult to implement the decisions made by the Ming court in the future.

"But the imperial court can no longer use the merchants as before, and promote and publicize it through the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the Teahouse Tile House under many merchants." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "The last time they relied on the merchants, these merchants had already shown their skills, but now because of the strength of the Jinyi Guard and the Six Gates, they will absolutely obey the orders of the Ming Imperial Court." Once the Ming border stabilized and the number of elite scouts and pawns decreased, the Six Gates and Jinyi Guards did not have enough power to control the merchants. It is very likely to lead to being eaten by businessmen. ”

Wen Tianxiang looked at Ye Yingwu with some surprise, because His Majesty has always fully supported the existence of businessmen in the hearts of civil and military officials, and now Wen Tianxiang only understood in Ye Yingwu's words, between His Majesty and those businessmen who control a lot of money in their hands and actively dispatch in the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty many times, it is more maintained through interests, Ye Yingwu uses their funds and countless industries and convoys to deliver the equipment, grain and grass needed to the front line. And these merchants are actually using the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars to expand their industrial scope outward, so as to get more profits.

Businessmen pursue profits, and sometimes they can even take risks, so when Ye Yingwu said this, Wen Tianxiang suddenly took a light breath. The Ming Dynasty opened the country with martial arts, and now there is no real power in the hands of the merchants, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the Zhongtian Hanging Sword above their heads, but once the Ming Dynasty has enough territory and no longer expands outward, then even if the Ming Dynasty has always maintained a sufficient amount of the main army, but the soldiers will inevitably be corrupted and degenerate in training and morale, and even this phenomenon actually has signs when Ye Yingwu inspected the Tianwu Army, but it was strangled by Ye Yingwu in time. This also means that at that time, it is likely that the army will no longer be a threat to the merchants, or even become a collaborator of the merchants to threaten the imperial court.

In order to prevent the slightest deterioration as much as possible, Ye Yingwu could only start from now on, try to avoid borrowing less of the merchant's strength, and even try to limit the expansion and development of the merchant like a water-absorbing sponge. After all, the current Ming Dynasty is far from the Ming and Qing dynasties in history, and the prosperous development of maritime trade has made the status of the Ming and Qing merchants far from being comparable to the status of the Ming and Qing merchants in another time and space, and even the merchants have gradually gotten rid of the lowest status in the "Shinong Industry and Commerce" and become the middle level of society second only to the scholar class.

After all, in the final analysis, Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang still belong to the scholar class, and now Sergeant Lin still occupies an absolute leadership position in society. Although Ye Yingwu knows very well that after seven hundred years, the merchant class has actually controlled many countries to a large extent, but at this moment, Ye Yingwu must safeguard the interests of the scholar class, not only because he was originally born in the scholar class in this life, but also because Ye Yingwu has come along the way, Shilin has undoubtedly given Ye Yingwu great support and help, even if he returns the favor, Ye Yingwu cannot betray and attack the Shilin class.

What's more, judging from the current situation, no matter how popular the grassroots education of the Ming Dynasty is, the Shilin class is already the class with the highest level of education in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"If you don't use Shang Jia, what is Your Majesty going to do?" Wen Tianxiang racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, but finally had to give up.

Ye Yingwu put down his pen: "The Six Gates and Jinyi Guards actually don't have many strongholds in the various state capitals, so it's not so easy to do this with the Six Doors and Jinyi Guards." ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded, the strength of the six doors and the Jinyi Guard was obviously only one of the reasons, and the other reason Although Ye Yingwu did not say it, Wen Tianxiang had already figured it out, and obviously Ye Yingwu didn't want them to sit big.

In Ye Yingwu's place, it is most appropriate for the imperial court to have a three-legged tripartite support of the political affairs hall, the Hanlin Academy and the imperial history platform, and further outside, it is in the interests of the emperor that the imperial court, the army and secret organizations such as the six doors and the six doors can maintain a larger enemy system, and it is okay for the six doors and Jinyiwei to help the imperial court to carry out propaganda once or twice, but if they "do not do their jobs" for a long time, I am afraid that it will also lead the whole country into a situation of dominance.

For Ye Yingwu, the lesson of the demise of the Ming and Qing dynasties in another time and space, he is naturally shocked every time he thinks about it, and he can only do his best to maintain the stability and balance between the various forces outside the Ming Dynasty.

How to be a successful and good emperor is also a science, and there are many people who fail in history.

"Then what does Your Majesty think of the Hanlin Academy and the Academy?" Wen Tianxiang is Wen Tianxiang in the end, after Ye Yingwu vetoed several choices one after another, he has been able to figure out His Majesty's thinking, His Majesty wants to maintain the balance of the entire court and the country in all aspects, so this seemingly unsolvable problem, in fact, the best answer is that the strength in these aspects is relatively weak, but the reputation is not bad and can be qualified for this task.

Hallym Academy and Academy have undoubtedly become the best or even the only option.

According to Ye Yingwu's plan back then, the political affairs hall and the six departments under its command should be on a three-legged basis with the Hanlin Academy and the Yushitai, but the current fact is that the political affairs hall is in charge of the bull's ear of the imperial court, and the right to speak in various matters is undoubtedly a lot heavier, and Ye Yingwu also relies more on the officials of the six departments, so that it stands to reason that the six departments that should be lower than the Hanlin Academy and the Yushitai even have a vague posture to compete with the two, as for the three prime ministers of the political affairs hall, in this case, they have undoubtedly become the forces that override these three parties. One person above and below ten thousand people.

Ye Yingwu naturally didn't want to see such a scene, and among the three legs of the imperial court, in fact, the strength of the Yushitai was not weak, after all, the Yushitai controlled the supervision power of the world, and Chen Yizhong and Yao Zhi were in charge, no one dared to underestimate the Yushitai. Now the Yushitai looks lonely, in the final analysis, because the Ming Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the young and promising officials who stand in various positions are eager to wear the stars and the moon every day, hoping to work hard to make political achievements, so as to gain the appreciation and promotion of the imperial court, which also greatly reduces the possibility of official corruption and bullying of men and women.

Chen Yizhong and Yao Zhi are not very old, they are young and vigorous, and the two of them are very strong and rigorous, so few people knowingly commit crimes. This also makes the Imperial Observatory meticulously supervise hundreds of officials, but they can't find anything, so they can only become the idleness they are now.

Yushitai has nothing to do, Ye Yingwu is actually more pleased, but in addition, the Hanlin Academy and the Academy have been idle, so Ye Yingwu has to intervene. After all, the main purpose of the separation of the Hanlin Academy and the Academy was to let them take charge of the world's education, so that they could cultivate more talents for the Ming Dynasty with a simple heart, but now the Ming Dynasty has not been established for a long time, although a large number of colleges have been established, but the talents that want to be cultivated are not so fast, so this also makes the Hanlin Academy and the Academy can only be busy with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials during the annual scientific examination, and there are not too many tasks to do after that.

As a result, in the previous wars, when there were insufficient officials in the six departments of the imperial court, they were even directly transferred from the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, making these two inexplicably become the substitutes for the Ming Political Hall and the Six Ministries.

In order to reverse this situation, Ye Yingwu naturally had to find a "job" for the Hanlin Academy and the Academy. Promoting the use of gold, silver, and paper money in the private sector may still be tricky for the rest of the department, but for the Hanlin Academy and the Academy, it is not incompetent.

The countless academies and colleges under these two academies alone have a strong human foundation, and in fact, most of the scholars who have never been a scholar have more or less friendship with the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, and these folk hermits often exist in the form of other people's staff, masters, and private school gentlemen, so by influencing them, they are actually influencing the middle and upper classes of the entire society.

When the direction of the middle and upper classes of the whole society changes, the grassroots people, who occupy the majority, are actually easy to make the choice they should make. If a few more great Confucians can come forward to sing praises for the imperial court, then this matter will be easier to implement.

"Xuan Liu Hanlin and Master Deng met together." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice.

——————————————————-

The first quarter moon hung in the sky, and a faint moonlight spilled out through the gaps in the branches and leaves, leaving dappled light and shadow in front of the steps. Dongpo Gong's so-called "the water under the court is empty, the algae in the water are crisscrossed, and the bamboo and cypress shadows are also covered", which should be the case.

Ye Yingwu closed the door of the imperial study, opened and closed the door, His Majesty has never liked the maidservants to do the work on their behalf, so Qing'er and a few palace maids just followed cautiously on the side, and did not dare to disturb Ye Yingwu. In this harem, Ye Yingwu is more like the head of a family than the king of a country.

Although the harem concubines since Lu Wanyan surrendered to the palace did not know why Ye Yingwu would rather not want the majesty of the emperor, and even did not allow them to call "Your Majesty", but "husband", everyone could feel a rare warmth in such a small move. Within the tall palace walls, this warmth is precious.

Looking at the moonlight in front of him, Ye Yingwu was stunned. To tell the truth, he really never had a good view of the moonlight in the palace. This round of the first quarter moon, although it looks far less than the clear light sprinkled into people's homes on the night of the full moon, but there is no more desire to refuse and welcome the pipa half covered face. Especially the huge Daming Palace, sleeping in this shallow moonlight, the majestic pavilions and palaces and the sparse branches and leaves of the moonlight, sometimes the more different things, the easier it is to produce amazing beauty when put together.

Ye Yingwu knew that the Shilin talents outside often liked to call this piece of palace "Daming Palace", and some people praised it as "hiding the world's pink delicacy in the six palaces, but the moon can be closed and the flowers are ashamed". Ye Yingwu also laughed at this, after all, how can these literati feel that he is too lazy to care, not to mention that there seems to be nothing to be angry about when someone praises his wives for being beautiful. Anyway, the prestige of His Majesty the Ming Emperor is known to the world, and no one will think that he is a faint monarch because of these Xu Gong complaints.

"Where does Your Majesty plan to sleep tonight?" Qing'er stepped forward and said softly.

"It's too late, so don't bother them, go directly to Huaiyutang." Ye Yingwu commanded, Huaiyutang is the second half of his study in the harem, and it is the collection of exquisite antique gold and stone of the royal family.

However, there is half of the West Palace between Huaiyutang and the Imperial Study, and there have always been new show girls and Zhaoyi who have recently entered the palace in order to invite pets, and they all like to compete for beauty when His Majesty passes by, making the entire harem jump and be unpeaceful for a long time. So much so that later, Lu Wanyan couldn't turn a blind eye, and strictly ordered His Majesty not to disturb the courtyards when he went to Huaiyutang. Hearing Lu Wanyan's helpless order, Ye Yingwu could only shrug his shoulders.

Hearing Ye Yingwu's command, Qing'er hurriedly led the way in front, Ye Yingwu glanced at the first quarter moon above his head, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, such a good moon, if there are one or two people to enjoy the moon, it would be a good thing.

Before Ye Yingwu could finish thinking about it, Qing'er in front of him suddenly paused slightly.

Then a soft female voice was heard behind the mottled shadows of the trees:

"While there is no one at this time, you can drink and admire the moon."

"But the mother······ There was some anxiety in the back, apparently the voice of the servant. (To be continued.) )
