Wanli doesn't understand Murphy's Law, but he loyally acts according to Murphy's Law. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The officials made trouble everywhere because of the pension matter, and as the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Jiaping was anxious. Don't look at the level of the officials who make trouble is very low, but they are like industrious worker bees, supporting the huge administrative system, fighting to the death and making trouble, not necessarily affecting ordinary people, but responsible for civil affairs, taxation, public security, health, inconspicuous officials, once something goes wrong, the people will definitely be really impacted.

Just a few days after taking over as the first assistant, the bad news came one after another, and Wang Jiaping was almost desperate.

"Elder Wang Ge, when Your Majesty first took power, he may not have figured out the key. Talk to Your Majesty well, and admonish hard, I believe that Your Majesty is still holy. Chen Yuma swore that in his heart, he still firmly believed that Wanli was a saint.

Wang Jiaping looked suspicious, he dragged his tired body to the Qianqing Palace, for two hours, dragged his more tired body back, and when he entered the first assistant duty room, he was paralyzed, sitting on a chair with his butt open, his mouth wide open, and his chest fell together, and he looked like he was about to faint.

He was really desperate, and when he asked Wanli to make trouble with the officials, Wanli didn't care at all, and he was even overjoyed. Wanli had long been preparing to abolish a number of additional ministries set up by Tang Yi, restore the old system of six ministries, and abolish a large number of officials.

Now it's okay, they took the initiative to come out and make trouble, and they happened to be laid off, and none of them remained.

The three-legged toad can't be found, and there are more living people who want to be officials than Wang Badu of Yongdinghe.

Wang Jiaping was dumbfounded, he also advocated the restoration of the six-ministry system, but Wang Jiaping knew that the affairs of the imperial court were completely different from those of more than ten years ago, and the tax alone was extremely complicated, with an annual income of hundreds of millions of taels, how to distribute it without a special Ministry of Finance? He wants to slow things down, merge little by little, and then the authority remains the same.

Assisting Wanli and restoring the old system was an excuse for the Jin Party to seize power, but it was not their goal. Let's ask which person who has achieved the position of first assistant doesn't want to be as powerful as Tang Yi, and say nothing?

Maybe Wanli also saw through Wang Jiaping's thoughts, he finally got the power back, how could he let Wang Jiaping become Tang Yi's second.

He simply told Wang Jiaping that within two months, the official reduction would be completed and the old system would be restored. As for the affairs that the officials could not bear, they were all left to the inner court.

That is, just after pardoning the criminals, Wanli pardoned a large number of prisoners of war, slave labor, the eunuchs of the inner court are like blowing balloons, rapidly inflated, in just a few months, has reached 18,000 people, Wanli's goal is to restore the grand occasion of 100,000 eunuchs within two years, and at the same time set up internal exercises, training eunuch elite soldiers......

One pile after another, one by one, all of them were perverse, and Wang Jiaping was frightened by Wanli.

Tang Yi is in Japan, Wanli's father is kind and filial to his son, he treats his courtiers very kindly, and in the three years of the military academy, he trains hard and is not afraid of hardships, which really attracts a large number of people and follows them loyally.

Including many important ministers who were dissatisfied with Tang Yi, they all felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Wanli take power, at most the power of the cabinet would be discounted a little, the world was so big, it was impossible for the emperor to have the final say, and he still had to rule the world with scholars.

There are a very large number of neutral officials with this kind of thinking, although they dare not oppose Tang Yi, but when it comes to the affairs that Tang Yi has explained, they always push back and obstruct them.

When Tang Yi was on stage, he was clear in his heart, but there was not much he could do. In any system, there are always people who benefit and people who suffer, and he can't satisfy everyone.

People have a natural instinct to seek innovation and change. No matter how much they were told that it was dangerous to put the emperor in power, they just scoffed.

I have figured out people's minds, which is also the reason why Tang Yi chose Zhishi, so I simply let it go and let you see how far Wanli will be tossed.

Unexpectedly, even Tang Yi couldn't imagine that Wanli was so "outstanding" that even Wang Jiaping and others were dumbfounded.

His Majesty the Emperor did not trust the ministers at all, including the Jin Party who had made great contributions, he only believed in those eunuchs who had lost their children and grandchildren.

The king and the scholars rule the world together? Dream on! The world belongs only to the emperor and his eagle dogs.

Wanli first restored the eunuchs, and then restored the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor, and deprived the cabinet of the right to approve the red, and the seal that originally symbolized the power of the cabinet was smashed and became a pile of jade dust.

Wang Jiaping, Chen Yuma, and Zhang Wei, the three of them faced this situation, grasping the soft intestines, and breaking the liver and intestines, I don't know what it tastes like.

Since then, the cabinet has returned to its former state, and can only be responsible for the drafting, and the right to approve the red has returned to the hands of the eunuchs, and Wanli has become more and more favored by the eunuchs, making those guys flying and domineering, without scruples, and the cabinet's votes are often useless, and they come by temperament.

Wanli wanted to train soldiers and collect money, so they set up Huangzhuang Huangdian and stake land everywhere, Tang Yi had abolished the inner court, and recovered all the properties and fields belonging to the inner court, and sold them through open bidding.

This time, the eunuchs will take it back.

Shuntianfu, the surroundings of the capital, and even Hetao, Xuanda, Jiliao and other places have been affected. Ti rode out in all directions, and the eunuchs showed their teeth and claws, arrogant and domineering.

The whole of the North, almost in chaos.

Even more frightening than these is the destructive power of finance.

Wanli forced the Daming Savings Bank to buy 10 million yuan in bonds, reducing the amount by 3 million yuan. Frankly speaking, this amount really could not shake the foundation of the Daming Savings Bank, but the emperor openly robbed the money, completely undermined the authority of the bank, and all the depositors were worried that their silver would be robbed, so they scrambled to withdraw money from the Daming Savings Bank.

Starting from the capital, soon Tianjin, Jinan, Kaifeng, Huai'an, all the way to Yingtianfu, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huizhou, Wuchang......

The wave of the run is like a domino, if one is poured, the one behind it will be unstoppable and will fall in response.

Not only the Daming Savings Bank, but also those smaller banks, money banks, have been hit harder.

The overnight lending rate between banks has soared from the initial 10 percent to 12 percent, and even then, no money can be found.

Panic is like a plague, spreading rapidly and cannot be contained.

In the eleventh year of Wanli, in November, the first snow fell, after Hesheng Yuan, the largest ticket number of Jin merchants Rishengchang declared bankruptcy, the three largest shareholders committed suicide by hanging beams, and the shopkeeper jumped down from the eight-story floor and fell to pieces.

"Well deserved! That's what you do! ”

In the grass house of Chongming Island, Xu Fatzi clapped his hands and applauded loudly.

Two months ago, Tang Yi and his family moved to Chongming, and his home was attacked continuously, with bombs being thrown, dead soldiers being sent to attack, and poisoning in secret...... The methods are all strange, all of which are to put Tang Yi to death. Fortunately, Taicang is his hometown, and the people are on Tang Yi's side, and the old subordinates of Xiangyong also gathered to protect Tang Yi, so they were not plotted.

Later, for the sake of convenience, Tang Yi took the initiative to live in Chongming, where the water was changed on all sides, which was convenient for guards, and it was at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The Dharma Protector Association also used Chongming as a north-south communication hub, and Xu Wei personally commanded it.

Xu Fatzi receives piles of messages every day, and Rao is ten lines at a glance, and his eyes are red when he wants to see it, and he sighs.

"Unexpected, really unexpected!" Xu Wei shook his head and sighed, "Okay, it's only been a little more than a year, it was originally thriving and prosperous, how could it be finished in a blink of an eye?" He approached Tang Yi and said suspiciously: "I said yes, you see, the government is chaotic, the eunuchs are rampant, there is a run everywhere, and all industries are depressed...... Is our new deal too fragile? ”

The bad situation has to make Xu Fatzi doubt his life, could it be that they have poured decades of hard work into making a bubble, and they have no ability to resist risks at all, and in an instant, they were punctured by others, what is the point of this change?

In contrast, Tang Yi was much calmer.

"Brother Wen, some things are indeed like a breeze and water, and they are not worth mentioning. But there are some things that go deep into the bone marrow and cannot be shaken. Tang Yi smiled: "What does Senior Brother Wen think is the most important thing in my changes?" ”

"This ...... It's finance! Xu Wei said firmly: "You set up the Ming Savings Bank, hand over the taxes of the imperial court to the bank to take care of, run Liaodong, develop the Far East, seize the silver mountains of the Japanese state, and reclaim the minerals of Luzon...... It's all for the sake of guaranteeing the adequate supply of silver and copper, finance is the blood of the country, it is the coal of the steam engine, without finance, a country will be doomed! ”

Tang Yi bowed slightly, "Brother Wen, the real power of finance lies in the fact that it brings everyone together, so that the whole world, Shinong Industry and Commerce, truly share honor and disgrace, forming a whole, the financial system is established, and the fall of imperial power is inevitable!" “

Tang Yi is not telling a lie, the current Wanli's actions are really not much different from his grandfather Jiajing's treatment of the Great Rites, at least Wanli has not raised the court staff and beaten the Manchu Dynasty civil and military half to death, but Wanli ignored that the current Ming Dynasty is completely different from sixty years ago.

The influx of gold and silver currency, the collapse of the traditional small-scale peasant economy, and the price revolution prompted the industrial and commercial groups to have more powerful power, a large number of investment purchases, the invention of cement, and the better and better transportation conditions.

Even in the Central Plains, the most traditional villages have abandoned the tradition of male farmers and female weavers, and people farm, work, earn silver dollars, and then exchange to get the goods they need.

It's an efficient system in comparison, but it has the added effect of getting people more connected.

Or take Jiajing as an example, he drove away Yang Tinghe and beat hundreds of ministers, but it only aroused the dissatisfaction of Shilin, as for the people at the bottom, they didn't feel too much, which is also the reason why the elders of the two dynasties ended in a fiasco.

But Wanli wanted to replicate his grandfather's success, but he didn't expect that the financial system, which was not what it used to be, quickly passed the damage on everyone's head!

The Daming Savings Bank suffered a run and had to recover loans from businesses to cope with the crisis.

Factories and workshops lost their capital, could not operate, or reduced purchases, or laid off and disbanded, and a wave of unemployment followed. The peasants, who had been supplying the factories with raw materials, wept bitterly when they saw that the piles of goods could not be sold, and the desperate people committed suicide by throwing themselves into wells and hanging from hanging beams...... More people joined the ranks of the Dharma Protector Association, and the representatives from all over the country rushed to Suzhou despite the obstruction of the local officials.

Everyone hated the same enemy, pointed the spearhead at Wanli, gritted their teeth one by one, and wanted to tear His Majesty the Emperor apart. (To be continued.) )
