Yang Reform doesn't expect to make money from the minted copper coins, if he wants to make money, he all counts on silver coins, but the minting of this silver coin is really an astronomical amount, one or two million mintings, and Yang Gaiai doesn't know where to find it now.

"Your Majesty, the matter of this casting is ......" Bi Ziyan is which pot is not opened, the emperor is worried about the matter of the casting, Bi Ziyan still mentioned the matter of the casting, no minting, this silver coin, don't think about it.

"How much is the mint of Tobe?" Yang Reform is scratching his head.

"Back to Your Majesty, mint copper coins, the minting of the household is nearly 80,000 taels, minting silver coins, this, there is no precedent, I don't know ......" Bi Ziyan doesn't know who will mint the two million, anyway, the household department has no money now.

"There is a copper coin minting, how much can the household take out the minting of this silver coin now?" Yang asked Gengai.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, if the minting of this silver coin is to meet Your Majesty's requirements, 100 million pieces per year, the minting is afraid that it will be 12 million taels of silver, and the household department is afraid that it will not be able to take out the silver coin, and it can produce 200,000 taels, I am afraid that it is already the limit. Bi Ziyan carefully explained, according to the current meaning of the household, the household will get one percent of the silver coin's fire consumption, and the mint can only be one percent, so 200,000 taels is the upper limit, Bi Ziyan is just the servant of the household, and there is a book on it, and it is not good for a person to add this casting, and besides, this household department does have no money, this 200,000 yuan, or the household department has a lot of income from the emperor to have this money, to put it in the past, the warehouse of the household department, it is all starving to death of mice.

"Two hundred thousand? Just 200,000, the rest of me will find a way, mint coins, in the future, I will stay in the north and south of Beijing, the others, all withdrawn, by the way, this Baoquan Bureau, specializing in coinage, now this minting silver coins, the stakes are very high, I remember that the grade of the Baoquan Bureau is only nine products, mention, mention the eight products, what is the name of the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau? Let him do a good job, do this coinage well, and improve his grade. Yang reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau, his name is Ma Zhide." Bi Ziyan replied.

"Okay, it's him, this person, he still has some ability, let him do it well." Yang Gengai remembered that there was such a number one person, although the official was small, but it was very related. ability, there is also a point, he minted silver coins for himself overnight, and he is a person worth cultivating.

"Obey. Is there also a Baoquan bureau in Nanjing? What is the grade? Your Majesty is please. Bi Ziyan agreed and asked again. Bi Ziyan thought in his heart, this Ma Zhide didn't know the blessings of that life, and was actually looked at by the emperor, you know, now this coinage, the silver money in his hand, hundreds of millions, how many people hit this idea, even in the cabinet, there are people who reach out to the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households, hoping to get a hand in the Baoquan Bureau, originally thought that this Ma Zhide's position is afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily, there is a know, Ma Zhide has already climbed the emperor, registered with the emperor, this son, is even more stable. I'll have to help him in the future, and I'll be my own person anyway.

"Over there in Nanjing? Well, let's also set up a Baoquan Bureau, which is under the command of the Yanjing Baoquan Bureau, and the grade is a little lower, and I also sent two superintendents from the north and south to supervise the minting of silver coins, and this minting of silver coins is really too hot, and I am afraid that a small eight-grade official will not be able to watch the field......" Yang Reform said.

The emperor sent his ministers out to supervise the place, this is by no means news, and it should not be taken care of by them.

Yang Reform said halfway, don't say it, his two henchmen, a second Xizi, a small Shunzi, sent out, however, they also gave them 100,000 taels of silver each, plus the household, each person is only 200,000 taels of silver, this bit of silver, less than 20% of the cast, however, Yang Reform has no choice, can only force this scalp to let them do it first, let them figure out their own way, Yang Reform set a dead goal, within a year, they can't complete the goal of 100 million pieces, come to see, completed, After saying that he is his absolute confidant of Zhu Youzhen, even if he goes to the West to be a consolation envoy, it is okay, and when he dies, find a place for them in the imperial mausoleum and enjoy the sacrifice forever, Yang Reform is also forced by money, there is no way, he can only force his own eunuchs, and expect these two little eunuchs to create miracles for themselves.

Bi Ziyan saw that the emperor's words were finished, so he continued to report his work.

"Your Majesty, the minister intends to use the new money, the period is three years, and the court will pay taxes later, and only the newly minted money of the court will be allowed to pay, and after three years, it will not be allowed to use silver to pay, Your Majesty, do you see this time, is it enough?" Bi Ziyan said again.

"A three-year transition period?" Yang reform did not mint the capital, for the time being, I don't know if we can complete the minting of 100 million pieces a year, even if there is hundreds of millions of minting, this silver coin is afraid that it is not enough, the total economic volume of the Ming Dynasty, will never be only 100 million yuan of ocean.

"Three years is three years, but we must gradually increase the proportion of use, in the first year, there must be 20% of the tax, and we must pay it with the money of the imperial court, in the second year, there must be 40%, in the third year, there must be 60%, and in the fourth year, the direct circulation of silver is prohibited." Yang reformed and thought about it and set laws and regulations.

"Obey." Bi Ziyan should come down again.

The law comes out casually, and it's very cool. However, it does not bring a trace of pleasure. Yang Reform, the emperor, should also be depressed, dizzy all day long for these things, and trapped in hard thinking and meditation all day long.

…… Erxizi is the nickname of Erxizi in the palace, this name, there are not many people who dare to call it now, when he was a little eunuch before, he was often called, but since he collected the atonement silver for the emperor, there are only a few people who call this Erxizi, such as the emperor, he likes to call him Erxizi, and now, it is also a young eunuch name, a red man in front of the emperor.

Erxizi was "driven out" from the palace by the emperor yesterday, rushed to Tongzhou overnight, got on the canal, and prepared to go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, to make preparations, and supervise the minting of silver coins. This road, is Erxizi himself chosen, he and Xiao Shunzi, the two of them, to the emperor promised is to mint 100 million silver coins every year, this matter, in terms of the coinage ability of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem, however, the difficulty is that there are not many mintings, the emperor gave only 100,000 taels, this is not all the minting, Nanjing, but also have to reopen the Baoquan Bureau, how much has to be silver, so, the actual minting, will be less, it stands to reason that the south coinage is more difficult than the northern coinage, however, Erxizi still chose the south, Erxizi believes, I didn't make the wrong choice.

The two henchmen who came with the boat were just two henchmen, saying that they were little eunuchs, but in fact, Erxizi was one or two years older than them.

In addition, it is the brocade guard who is responsible for protecting the safety of the silver.

Rushed to Tongzhou overnight and got on the boat, Erxizi didn't get up until noon the next day, and was tired enough last night.

Zhu Dali is responsible for escorting the safety of this batch of silver, with a beard on his face, he is a martial artist at first glance, he is a deputy thousand households, and he was sent to escort this batch of silver urgently, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his wife and children, it is said that there are 100,000 taels, and at the same time, there is a red man in front of the emperor, happy father-in-law, Zhu Dali has been a deputy thousand households for a while, and has always wanted to turn positive and become a genuine thousand households, but unfortunately, first, there is no money in his hands, and second, this son is limited, a thousand households, there are three or four deputy thousand households, He wants to get ahead, hard. However, he felt that now this business trip is an opportunity, this Xi Gonggong, is a popular person in front of the emperor, it is said that he is very good at making money, and he got two or three million taels of silver for the emperor.

"Yo...... Hi father-in-law, your body is so tough! This sun, just right, your old man came to bask in the sun! Sit, sit, sit......" Zhu Dali has been guarding the door of his father-in-law for a long time, ready to have a good relationship with the celebrity around the emperor.

Er Xizi is today's Xi Gonggong, this status has grown, this identity has changed, others used to call Er Xizi, and now, others call him Xi Gonggong.

"Hehe, General Zhu! You're early, too! Come, come, come, sit together. Father-in-law Xi also greeted with a smile.

This ship is an official ship, with two floors, and there is a platform on it, which is specially used to enjoy the scenery along the coast on the platform. There was a table on it, and a few stools.

"Hehe, Father-in-law Xi is a poor person, and the small one is just a small deputy thousand households from the fifth grade, where is he qualified to sit in front of Father-in-law Xi? It's better for the lower officials to be standing. Zhu Dali looked flattering, this happy father-in-law, hanging the sign of the young eunuch, the young eunuch is a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, he, the deputy thousand households, has a long distance from others. What's more, others are celebrities in front of the emperor, and they are even more "Qin errands" who do errands for the emperor, which cannot be compared.

"Hehe, General Zhu is really polite, then we are not welcome." Grandpa Xi didn't say much, and sat on a chair on the second floor of the ship, admiring the scenery along the coast.

Zhu Dali stood aside, waiting with his hands down.

"Hehe, the lower official is presumptuous, dare to ask Father-in-law Xi, what is the errand that Your Majesty sent Father-in-law Xi to Jiangnan this time?" Zhu Dali began to sound.

“…… Errand? ......" Father-in-law Xi said expressionlessly, said two words, and there was no follow-up. Speaking of errands, he Erxizi is also gambling, and now the emperor is anxious about this money, and he needs someone to come forward, so in the eyes of the emperor, they are eunuchs, only to be useful, and they will be looked down upon by the emperor, and in front of others, they will be looked down upon, so Erxizi picked such a seemingly impossible task, he is to improve his status in the emperor's mind by proving his worth, and then after this burden, he began to think about how to do this well, and he didn't have a clue in his heart.

"Hehe, what's so difficult about my father-in-law? If there is a place where the lower official can be used, the lower official will do his best, if the father-in-law does not dislike it, the lower official still has some relatives in the south, familiar with it, but can be recommended to the father-in-law, the father-in-law will definitely get twice the result with half the effort......" Zhu Dali doesn't care about his image, a bearded old man flatters and flatters in front of a twenty-year-old eunuch, no matter how you look at it, it is disgusting, however, Zhu Dali, I think this is a good opportunity, and now the people who can climb the emperor's line are all developed. For example, Xu Guangqi and Xu Ge Lao have now become the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families with tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands. If this is done, he will surely become a great benevolent person who will be passed down through the ages! It makes many people drool with envy. He Zhu Dali has made up his mind, he must climb the line of the emperor when he finds an opportunity, and now a great opportunity is in front of him, and it is impossible to miss it.

When Father-in-law Xi heard that this guy still had a relationship in the south, he was a little interested in this guy and said, "Oh? Hehe, General Zhu, tell me what acquaintances you have over there in Jiangnan? "Erxizi really doesn't have a clue about the matter he beared, and now he hears this guy say that there is something related to Jiangnan, and he is ready to see if he can help himself.

"Hehe, father-in-law, the cousin of the Xiaguan's wife, who is the director of the Nanjing Military Department, a familiar acquaintance of the Xiaguan, and has ......experience in Nanjing," Zhu Dali flattered and introduced his network in the south.

Zhu Dali said for a long time, and saw that his father-in-law didn't have any expression, so he didn't say anything, it was obvious that his father-in-law didn't look down on his relationship, and said a few words that were not nutritious, and said goodbye.

After Zhu Dali left, the little eunuch beside his father-in-law said: "Father-in-law, this person is not interesting, and the person who is in charge of the first-class person also dares to show off, and I don't look at what my father-in-law is, and when it is my turn to deal with a master." ”

"That's it, that's it, this person has no eyesight, my father-in-law is a celebrity around the emperor, and he does big things for the emperor, he talks about trivial things, and he can't get along with the little people, it's really blind, I'm ......" Another little eunuch also disdains to deal with this kind of person.

Father-in-law Xi sat on the chair, his eyes kept looking at the two sides of the strait, he was very distracted, and said, "Hehe, don't underestimate people!" Our family is now going to Jiangnan to run an errand, and we have to ask someone to help us dream, now make more friends, maybe, I will use it later, our family is doing this errand now, it is difficult! It's hard to ......" After Father-in-law Xi finished speaking, he sighed, the emperor's affairs are very tricky. Although it is very tricky, but this return is also quite high, you know, this current Western consolation envoy, how many eunuchs dream, you know, this death can be buried in the imperial tomb, what a great honor it is.

A little eunuch said: "Father-in-law, the little one thinks that even if he wants to find someone, he should find our own family, this Jiangnan is not a weaving managed by our ministers, garrisons everywhere, town guards, if my father-in-law wants to find someone to help, he is not looking for help from his own family, when will it be his turn to introduce a bullshit principal?" What can the main thing do? I'm not afraid of losing the identity of our father-in-law......" The little eunuch's voice was very sharp, and when he spoke, it was like a cannon, crackling a lot.

When Father-in-law Xi heard this, his brows loosened a little, and said: "Xiao Yizi, I love to hear what you say Father-in-law, I'm not wrong, although what our family is doing this time is indeed more tricky, but there are a lot of our own family members in Jiangnan, when the time comes, visit everywhere, maybe this matter will have eyebrows...... "When Father-in-law Xi heard this little eunuch named Xiao Yizi speak, he had a little bottom in his heart, yes! The internal officials sent to the towns and garrisons in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, the garrison, and the weaving, there are so many of them, they are all the emperor's ministers, they are all for the emperor, they are their own family, and they are also for the emperor. So, he praised Xiao Yizi fiercely.

On the Grand Canal, an official ship carrying a eunuch named Gonggong Xi rushed towards Nanjing, bringing with it the expectations of Yang Reform.

…… Mandarin Palace.

Yang Reform sullenly set the rules for the use of money, and Bi Ziyan also retired.

"Companion, how much money do I have in my money now?" If Yang Reform has no money, he will not be happy. Recently, spending money is too much, there are holes everywhere, and you need to fill it with your own money everywhere, and your own money is estimated to be bottoming out.

"Back to Your Majesty, now, there is not much money in the inner pocket, excluding the money from Li Ruolian, now, there are only more than two million taels in Your Majesty's internal treasury." Wang Chengen is the chief manager, managing the emperor's belongings, and he is very clear about how much money the emperor has.

"Hiss......"

More than two million taels? Didn't there be five or six million taels a while ago? Why did you get this money all of a sudden? Yang Reform is very distressed, and there are many places to spend money this year.

"Tell me, it's all used in those places." Yang Gai only felt that he was using money like running water.

"Back to Your Majesty, the most recent one, the Yi man that Your Majesty promised today, to build a fleet, it will cost 350,000 taels of silver; Yesterday, His Majesty sent two Xizi and Xiaoshunzi to supervise the construction, each of which was 100,000 taels, that is, 200,000 taels; Master Xu ordered grain from Jiangnan, but there was no money to ship, and His Majesty gave more than 100,000 taels; Li Ruolian's is 1.2 million taels; His Majesty asked Li Zhizao to hire a fleet of Yiren, and previously paid 100,000 taels; His Majesty gave Miss Sun 400,000 taels; His Majesty recruited the world's elite Gongwei Jingshi, and the previous payment was 240,000 taels; Dongjiang Town's monthly military salary is 80,000 taels; recruiting and training new troops, the cost of tens of thousands of dollars per month, gradually rising; The monthly expenditure of building firearms is thousands of taels, which is also gradually rising; Sun Yuanhua made cannons; the expenses of the palace, the salaries of hundreds of officers and soldiers, and the salaries of food; the Mongol Imperial Army, thousands of taels per month; In recent months, spending has skyrocketed; other expenditures ......, totaling more than 3.2 million taels; In addition, Your Majesty, Master Xu for disaster relief, because the money and food have not yet been collected, so before, Your Majesty was afraid to prepare some silver money for Master Xu's expenses; Today, Your Majesty plans to fish, and needs to build ships, which may require additional expenses, and, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's reserve silver has not yet been settled, and the silver of the vassal kings has not yet been deposited in Your Majesty's bank, and Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to prepare some silver; Your Majesty has not only built a fleet of Yiren, which may cost hundreds of thousands of taels ......, in addition, Your Majesty, there are also two million taels promised to each side in the second half of the year; Also, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going to let Yuan Chonghuan go to Liaodong, and you have to prepare a sum of money; In addition, Your Majesty, the elite of the Gongwei Beijing Division is about to enter Beijing, which must have additional expenses; Also, His Majesty plans to clean up Mongolia and start a war in Korea, which will require additional military spending, and ......"

Wang Chengen's mouth, like a printer, typed out the bill for Yang Reform.

(To be continued)
