"Will the plan be released?" Wang Zaijin asked with a smile, seeing that his expression clearly regarded Zhang Ke as the scheming Zhuge Liang, completely forgetting that he was a civil official, the one who came up with the idea theoretically......

"Lord Ministry, Lin Dan Khan actually has nothing to show for himself, he is just inserting the eight battalions of the Han Department, there are only 100,000 people, other tribes can't control it at all, and he has to face wild boar skin, his situation is much more difficult than Daming, if he has a little brain, he shouldn't send troops and grudge with Daming."

Wang Zaijin still agrees with Zhang Ke's judgment, but there are still some doubts.

"Lin Dan Khan is unruly, this time his younger brother Jintu was defeated by you again, it's hard to guarantee that he won't go crazy, if he really goes south, it will be more than 100,000 people!"

$Pigs$Pigs$Island$Novels(www)A(zhu)(zhu)(dao)A(com)"That's right! ”

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "So you can't let him go south, the most important thing in front of me is to send a man of tongue to meet Lin Dan Khan and tell him that if he doesn't take refuge in Daming, it will be a dead end!" We can promise to expand the mutual market, and we will not worry that Lin Dan Khan will not take the bait. ”

"That's a great idea!"

Wang Zaijin stood up and walked up involuntarily, negotiating with Lin Danhan is not a trivial matter, and it is definitely not as simple as Zhang Ke said.

First of all, it must be approved by the imperial court, otherwise no one can stand the charge of communicating with foreign countries.

Second, it is necessary to persuade the old stubborns of the imperial court to agree to exaggerate the mutual market, and there is a huge interest temptation to force Lin Dan Khan to comply.

As for the third, that is, to find a negotiator who has enough weight and courage not to embarrass the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Ministry, is it so troublesome, just choose a few in the army. For example, Du Qing, such as Xiong Ruoguang, and Shen Yue, they are all good candidates. ”

"No, no, no!" Wang Zaijin shook his head again and again and said: "The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with etiquette, and Lin Dan Khan was the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia. How can you do it if you don't send someone with enough status! You don't have to be young to withstand the long journey, you have to be courageous, you can't be embarrassed in front of Lin Dan Khan, it's best to be born in two Jinshi, and the future prime minister ......"

Every time he said a word, Zhang Ke's face became bitter, those two rank jinshi were pampered, how could they go to the grassland to take risks, even if they were willing. The court didn't dare to embarrass a bunch of nerds. Lao Wang is mostly dreaming in vain, Zhang Ke drinks tea cup by cup and does not squeak.

Perhaps Wang Zaijin also felt the difficulty, he turned around on the ground for a quarter of an hour, suddenly saw Zhang Ke, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's really hard to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it, and the candidate has been found!"

Zhang Ke almost squirted out a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Ministry, you won't let me go, right?" ”

"What do you think!" Wang Zaijin said with a smile: "How dare the old man let Zhang Shaobao go over." But. Does the candidate have something to do with you? ”

"Who?"

"Deng Wentong! Your brother-in-law! ”

"Ahh It was even more surprising than letting Zhang Ke go by himself.

"My brother-in-law is young and knows how to do border affairs, but he is just a lifter. I don't have an official position, can I do it? ”

"That's the old Huang calendar, and my brother-in-law is a new science and technology jinshi, and he has just been selected as a Jishi. But he is a hot young talent in the DPRK. ”

Scholars?

Zhang Ke hurriedly grabbed the month card on the table, took a closer look, and finally realized it.

It turned out to be during the time of the war. The spring of the second year of the Apocalypse has ended, and my brother-in-law Deng Wentong was beyond imagination, and he actually won the thirteenth place in the second class, adding up the three people in the first class, which means that the brother-in-law ranked sixteenth in the country!

All over the country!

This is such an amazing achievement, it is nothing in the southeast, but it is in the cultural desert of Liaodong, which makes countless people fall through the glasses and dare not believe it.

Many people suspected that Deng Wentong had gone the way, but in fact, Zhang Ke had greeted Wei Zhongxian, hoping to leave a few Jinshi for Liaodong.

Of course, Zhang Ke didn't dare to expect the top two, like the teacher Hong Fuyi, to get the top three with the Jinshi, and it was very good to use it immediately under the list.

But I never imagined that Deng Wentong would rush to the front so high!

As the so-called popular people are right and wrong, many scholars who failed to make the list pointed the finger at Deng Wentong, accusing him of playing tricks and spending money, and being a favored scholar. Some people even made a plea to the senior officials of the DPRK and China, demanding that Deng Wentong's qualifications be revoked.

When these people were having a good time, suddenly the imperial court published Deng Wentong's article, like a storm crashing on the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, and the capital suddenly became chaotic, and almost everyone was discussing this article......

What article can have so much power?

In fact, it is not complicated, after the children of the apocalypse ascended the throne, they faced internal and external difficulties and the problem of financial depletion.

After the examiner saw it, he was almost angry, full of absurdities, opportunistic and deviant...... Because someone had said hello, he only entered the top three ranks.

But when reporting to the emperor, the little emperor suddenly mentioned Deng Wentong, saying that this person was talented and wanted to see his scroll. Originally, only the top ten had the blessing to let the Son of Heaven look at it, but the examiner didn't dare to disobey, so he could only bring the papers.

For an article of a few hundred words, Apocalypse actually read it for more than half an hour, and finally slapped the table.

"Such an article is not the champion, it is the examiner's dereliction of duty!"

In a word, he almost scared a room of people, and the chief examiner, Shangshu Sheng Yihong of the Ministry of Etiquette, was even more stunned, his hands and feet trembled, and he was almost scared to death......

Some people love to death, some people hate to death, doesn't the future generation say that arguing about the ability is value! Obviously, Deng Wentong's article has great value.

In the article, he changed the style of talking about the eight strands of literature floating in the sky, and turned to talk about practice. In response to the internal and external difficulties proposed by the Apocalypse, the concept of financial management was clearly proposed. The core of it is to abolish the two yuan, refer to Xiyi, cast silver and copper seven or three proportions of silver dollars, and promulgate the world.

Deng Wentong analyzed that with copper as silver, the imperial court could get a generous seigniorage tax in the minting process to fill the financial gap. And for the people, it is not a trick.

Because silver is used as a trading currency, it is very troublesome to consider fineness, weight, and weighing each transaction. If the silver dollar is minted into a standardized system, it is convenient for the people to communicate, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

The two benefits of the people, why not!

As soon as the four words of abolition and reform came out, the world was shocked, and Deng Wentong was suddenly in the eye of the storm.

Some people scolded him for taking advantage of it. Looting the people, some people say that Xiyi uses silver dollars, he is using Yi to change Xia, which is a big rebellion, and some people say that it is whimsical and nonsense......

But in the midst of opposition, there is a stubborn voice of support. During the time that Deng Wentong entered Beijing, he had solid knowledge, unique opinions, and generous actions. A large number of scholars have been formed.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty and the minions of the Qing Dynasty blindly rejected new things, they cared about the country, and they had the ambition of scholars and doctors to help the world.

Take Xu Guangqi as an example, after joining the church, he can still enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, which shows Mingcha's tolerance and generosity.

As soon as Deng Wentong's proposal to abolish the two yuan and reform the yuan came out, a group of people led by Lu Xiangsheng began to study it. To put it bluntly, it's a seigniorage problem.

The development of commodities and the boom in economic activity require a more convenient and practical set of trading tools.

Traditional gold and silver trading is very cumbersome. To cut and weigh, according to the fineness of the discount, ordinary people do not know how to calculate at all, in vain by the businessmen deceived by the merchant. The number of controversies and conflicts that have sparked as a result is staggering.

In particular, trade with the West was vigorously developed. The inflow of silver dollars into the Ming Dynasty had a considerable impact on society. Many scholars from the southeast liked to make beautiful Spanish silver dollars, and even used them in trading.

Silver dollars are a good thing, but ordinary people. Merchants could not mint silver dollars, and only the imperial court had the credibility to produce silver dollars on a large scale.

Let the imperial court produce silver dollars. Certainly not for nothing. Silver and copper are seven or three proportions, three of which are the income of the imperial court, and after deducting labor costs, that is the seigniorage!

In fact, seigniorage is not a stranger, when minting copper coins, the wages and materials spent on a copper coin must be lower than the value of the copper coin, otherwise the minting of a loss of one, the imperial court would have lost it a long time ago.

After figuring out these things, a strong voice of support for Deng Wentong was brewing in the capital, represented by Wei Guangwei, the secretary of the household department, and Hong Fuyi, the envoy of the general government, who firmly advocated the abolition of the two yuan and the change of the yuan, and immediately implemented it to alleviate the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, a larger number of conservative ministers and literati desperately opposed it, and the two factions were in a lot of trouble.

……

Zhang Ke has been fighting, but he didn't know that his brother-in-law had stirred up such a big storm, and he was dumbfounded.

"Yongzhen, you and the old man are honest, is it your idea to abolish the two yuan?"

"It's not!" Zhang Ke shook his head firmly, he did have this idea, but he didn't have time to tell his brother-in-law yet.

Wang Zaijin looked like he was fooled by you, and said with a smile: "Let Brother-in-law Ling send Lin Dan Khan, firstly, he can make meritorious contributions, and secondly, he will not cause trouble on the cusp." ”

Zhang Ke nodded approvingly: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

In March, the ice and snow melted, the grass revealed dark red shoots, the spring breeze blew across the grassland, and the world that had been frozen for half a year began to wake up.

More than a hundred knights protected a blue-robed civil official, galloping across the field, all the way to the city of Yingzhou. Without the slightest stop, he went directly into the city and came to the Shaobao Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, don't come unharmed!"

"Yongzhen, you want to kill me!"

Deng Wentong and Zhang Ke hugged warmly, and they felt a sense of sympathy, both of them experienced an unprecedented war, but one was full of swords, and the other was full of saliva.

"Brother-in-law, how did you come up with the idea of writing such an article?"

Deng Wentong scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Yongzhen, didn't you say that I guarantee that I can be admitted to the Jinshi!" Since you are completely sure, you can write whatever you want......"

Speaking of this, Deng Wentong's face also turned red, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble, countless people find you every day, some scold, some worship, and their heads are three times bigger." Since I was admitted to the Jinshi, I have slept for two hours a day at most, which is more tiring than studying hard in the cold window! ”

Deng Wentong's face was sad, and he had endless bitter tears, and finally had the opportunity to confide in his relatives.

"Yongzhen, when I heard that I was going to send Lin Dan Khan, I immediately left the city!"

"Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid of danger?"

Deng Wentong shrugged indifferently, "As long as I don't mention the abolition of the two yuan, I won't frown even if I go to Dao Mountain!" (To be continued......)
