Zhenwu glanced at Song Zhu, this guy is worthy of being born in the battalion, he is brave enough, the 'Four Hengs' is not his alone, the royal family of Jingshi, the prince and the nobles also have a few percent of the shares, and authorize the 'Four Hengs' to mint silver dollars, which is tens of millions of profits, this guy dares to oppose it so directly, if this word is spread, the offended people will be in the sea.

After glancing at the three of them, Zhen Wucai groaned: "I want the imperial court to mint silver dollars, but how much silver is in the imperial court's treasury?" All of them were minted by the Beijing Division, and the transportation and escort of the silver taels was expensive, and they were handed over to the local minting, so I was worried that the fineness of the silver dollars would not be guaranteed. Although the 'Four Great Hengs' is a private ticket number and a silver number, it is the property of the Qing royal family.

I also do not shy away from saying that the right to mint silver dollars was handed over to the 'Four Great Heng', and the minting was opened at the same time in Beijing, Guangzhou, Jiangning, and Taiyuan, not only for the rapid popularization and promotion of silver dollars, but also to protect the interests of the royal family and princes.

I must think of ways to give appropriate compensation, otherwise they will slow down the expansion of the feudal kingdom due to the depletion of financial resources, which is not conducive to the expansion of the Qing Dynasty overseas, and moreover, properly compensate them, and save them from adding chaos to me, exploiting the servant officials under my door, and affecting my new policy and rectifying the rule of officials.

Having said that, you also know that more than half of the shares of the 'Four Great Hengs' are in my hands, so what is the difference between my treasury and the treasury now? All along, I have tried not to use the treasury money, but to pay for the extra expenses with my own money. In view of the above points, I have decided to hand over the right to mint silver dollars to the 'Four Great Hengs', what do you think is wrong? ”

Zhenwu has already said this, who has the courage to say that it is inappropriate? Besides, what Zhenwu said is also the truth, the implementation of the new policy, the abolition of envy, and the rectification of the rule of officials will have a great impact on the royal family, princes and nobles, and it really needs to be appeased a little. In case they are secretly interfering. Moreover, if the imperial court casts, the cost of this silver is indeed not small, and the 'Four Great Heng' is much more convenient, and the four places are all prosperous places with prosperous commerce and silver circulation. There is no need to spend manpower and money to transport silver.

Song Zhu didn't know how to advance and retreat, so he bowed down and said: "The emperor is worried about Zhou Xiang, and the slave is ashamed." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and didn't say much, the coinage right was handed over to the 'Four Great Heng', and he was ready to compensate the royal clansmen. Wang Gong Xungui, and then slowly recovered the shares of the 'Four Great Hengs', and the 'Four Great Hengs' will eventually be returned to the imperial court and become a financial instrument of the Qing Dynasty, which he does not dare to reveal too early now.

Seeing that the three of them were no longer silent, Zhen Wucai said lightly: "Kneel down." ”

The three of them withdrew, and Zhenwu also got up and moved slightly, seeing that it was already overcast outside. He walked out of the room. When the eunuchs outside the palace saw him come out, they immediately knelt on the ground. Zhenwu looked up at the sky, and saw that it didn't look like rain, so he walked leisurely all the way without saying a word.

When Bao Fuquan saw this, he knew that this master must be bored, and wanted to distract himself, so he hurriedly got up and ordered the little eunuch to prepare to follow behind, and he trotted to follow.

Zhenwu walked aimlessly all the way, and the issue of silver dollars didn't cause any waves, he wasn't worried, he just couldn't understand why Kangxi didn't issue silver dollars after more than 50 years of reign? Not to mention Kangxi, since the implementation of the 'one whip law' in the Ming Dynasty, silver has been set as legal tender, for more than 100 years, why after European silver coins flowed into China, no one proposed to mint silver dollars?

Are you afraid of folk imitation? This is not very likely, if the people want to imitate, why did the Spanish silver dollar flow into the Qing Dynasty for so many years, but no one imitated it? You must know that the Spanish silver dollar has been much higher than its own value, so no one has imitated it, so it can be seen that the people's imitation ability is indeed limited, and there is no need to worry about the Qing silver dollar, but it is still necessary to introduce machine manufacturing as soon as possible, so that there will be no worries about being imitated for decades.

Thinking of the machine, Zhenwu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Qing Dynasty really lacked Western talents, and he only knew a general principle of steam engines, internal combustion engines and other machinery, this machine was eventually imported from Britain, and the Qing Dynasty wanted to be invincible and maintain its current strong advantage, talent is the key.

If the Qing Dynasty wants to have a situation of talent flourishing in several decades, it is not only necessary to vigorously promote Western studies and increase the enlightenment education of Western studies, but also to vigorously introduce outstanding talents from Europe, and send a large number of international students to study in Europe.

Whatever, this situation is much stronger than the Qing Dynasty being ravaged by European Tsarist Russia, besides, there are many retreats for these royal clansmen of the Qing Dynasty now, Australia, America, and Africa can go, what do you care? Now it's a matter of taking a step by step, and let's talk about making the Qing Dynasty strong first.

However, there is one point to note, with the development of the economy, the implementation of the apportionment into the acre, the population explosion is certain, at the same time the mobility of the population will also be greatly increased, the squire, the binding force of the clan will be greatly reduced, but the existing customs and etiquette can not collapse, can not appear the kind of everything to look at the money, moral decay, lack of trust situation, if this situation occurs within a few decades, the Qing Dynasty must be in danger, how can we avoid this situation? Zhenwu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Confucianism emphasizes etiquette over law, emphasizes righteousness over profit, advocates social status and other orders, pays attention to the upper and lower dignity, takes the imperial examination, pursues advancement, advocates the near world, far ghosts and gods, attaches importance to the present world, and pays attention to the current These ideas are not conducive to the economic development of the Qing Dynasty, especially the society after economic development.

It can be said that the Qing Dynasty is simply unable to cope with the sudden riches, and with the expansion and colonization of overseas, the Qing Dynasty is likely to usher in an unexpected sudden wealth in just a dozen years, or twenty or thirty years.

Confucianism must not be discarded, it can only be planned and targeted to remove the chaff, or deliberately magnify the contemptuous side of Confucianism, if the Confucian system collapses, it is a real collapse of etiquette, and thousands of years of etiquette cannot be buried in their own hands.

These things must be discussed by some well-educated and knowledgeable scholars, and in order for ideas to penetrate into the hearts of the people, there must be a process of patriarchy, and at least one or even two generations must grow up before they can be completely changed, and this matter must be prepared for a rainy day.

Zhenwu walked all the way, all the way to the boundless thoughts, unconsciously turned onto Changchun Garden West Road, followed by Bao Fuquan hurriedly followed a few steps, and said with a waist: "Your Majesty, the draft girls who left the sign have been placed in Ningchun Hall, Ruizhu Courtyard, Guanlan Pavilion, and Jifengxuan according to their will, and the emperor has been sitting for a long time today." ”

Zhenwu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I have said that I will personally assess the overnight show girl, and I have time today, go over and take a look." After a slight pause, he continued: "Ji Fengxuan's name is good, so go to Ji Fengxuan." ”

"Wow." Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and said: "The emperor has already walked this long way, whether you want to take advantage of the convenience." ”

Hearing this, Zhen Wucai looked around, it turned out that he had unconsciously walked to the West Road, and nodded immediately, seeing his jaw head, Bao Fuquan hurriedly raised his hand and called Benyu to come forward.

Although the name of Jifengxuan is good, but the location is not good, it is the last scenic spot in the middle of Changchun Garden, there is a small lake nearby, there are many white cranes, peacocks, bamboo chickens and other birds, the houses are also relatively simple, and the furnishings are naturally average.

Since Zhenwu ordered all the girls to be drafted who left the brand to stay in Ningchun Hall, Ruizhu Courtyard, Guanlan Pavilion, and Jifengxuan, so as to wait for the news of his personal assessment, a group of eunuchs who worked hard all day to make money made a detailed comparison of these four places, which place had good scenery, which house was good, which place Zhenwu had been to before, what comments there were, Zhenwu's general travel route and other factors were all considered, and then the two places that were most likely to be assessed by Zhenwu first and the easiest to be selected were auctioned.

Draft women are good, choose women or not, it's the same as shopping and picking clothes, see more, and look dazzling, the worst position is the last one, the first is fresh, impressive, the second is a little aesthetic fatigue, the third thinks it's almost over, looks more detailed, and the probability of liking is also high, and the last one is not only to compare with all the previous ones, but also the interest is not too high.

Therefore, the first place in Ningchun Hall and the third place in Guanlan Pavilion are the best, and the worst is the last Jifengxuan, not to mention that the various conditions of Jifengxuan are also the worst, after the eunuchs have reached the most authoritative conclusion after detailed inference, they naturally began to sell hot among the show girls, want to enter Ningchun Hall, want to enter Guanlanxie, can, clearly mark the price, take silver, no silver? I'm sorry for you, go to Jifengxuan and stay.

But none of the eunuchs would have thought that Zhenwu would feel that Jifengxuan's reputation was good, and he went to Jifengxuan by name for the first time, and Bao Fuquan was clear about the money-making methods of these eunuchs under him, but he has always only accepted filial piety, as long as he does not commit the taboo of Zhenwu, he is like gold.

Listening to Zhenwu's words, Bao Fuquan secretly slandered in his stomach, which of these names of Changchun Garden is not good, and which sign is not good? It's just that this episode of Feng Xuan is in his mind, this master's mind is really hard to understand, you have to be careful in everything in the future, don't make your own decisions, this time those little eunuchs are afraid that they are going to break the fortune, these rich show girls are not easy to mess with, and I don't know what the situation of Ji Fengxuan's show girls is, if Zhenwu is discouraged, he will not be able to please him.
