Chapter 0759 - Resumption of Government Affairs
"Daming's money and food are all uniformly allocated by the Jingshi! The minting of money can only be completed by the Daming Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, the status of the Zhili Prefecture of Nanzhili has long been canceled, Hou Sui, immediately in the name of the Ministry of Household reprimanded Nanjing on the letter to the officials who asked for coinage, the Daming Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau made a million banknotes immediately issued to the emperor-owned enterprises to circulate, and at the same time in the Daming Commercial Bank began to issue banknotes, which can be replaced by the people independently, not reluctantly, Daming Commercial Bank to support the mutual conversion between banknotes and silver money! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's tone was light.
Although he has restored his usual diligent state, restored his aspirations, and re-established his goals, the pressure of no way to return to modern times has not completely disappeared, he is just fighting against his own heart!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen felt that he was climbing a slope, a big unimaginable slope with no end in sight! There is no way for him to return to the state he was in when he was first reborn, or he doesn't know how long it will take for him to be able to return to that state, because he can't forget the modern qiē, he can't forget that he once had a very smooth path that didn't require much effort to succeed.
People are always like this, starting from scratch is not the most difficult, the difficult thing is to be repeatedly manipulated by fate, repeatedly fall, and then get up again, which requires amazing willpower!
The ministers listened to the emperor's tone a little depressed, but they were not surprised, because the emperor's ruling ideas had not changed, and they also knew that the emperor had long wanted to make a move on Nanzhili, but the economy of the Ming Dynasty was actually controlled in the hands of the Jiangnan gentry! Can it be taken away like this? How will the Jiangnan gentry fight back? This question. Like a huge rain cloud! Pressed in the hearts of everyone in the court!
Hou Sui respectfully agreed. After looking at a sample of the Daming banknotes. Hou Sui no longer opposed the issuance of paper money, but became one of the most staunch supporters of the emperor's reform of the currency system.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is not a tone of consultation, and there is no need to discuss with the ministers, his court meeting, in fact, is the place where he issued his political strategy, the ministers only have the power to build, and no one has the right to interfere in his policies, this is the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen after reforming the central system. The most direct way to hold power firmly in your own hands!
"According to the records of the Ministry of Officials, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of Yansui." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still had a faint tone, as if his sharpness was not enough to support him as before, and he was full of energy when he spoke!
No one was surprised by this.
Hong Chengchou, as a cadre under Yang He, should have supported his boss's "appeasement policy", but Hong Chengchou didn't, but he vigorously suppressed the bandits. And not only to suppress the bandits, but also to "kill and surrender"! At that time, there were tens of thousands of surrendered "thief troops" killed by him, which is also the reason why Hong Chengchou appeared in every history book as a "reactionary figure". In fact, if you have read the history of the "thief army" in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to find out. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have deceived many times, and they will rebel after recuperating for a period of time. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly suppressed the "thief army" without dying. It's because of this deception. It can be seen that Hong Chengchou was quite prescient in this regard.
The last time Xunlou went to Shaanxi, everyone had heard about it, and they were very strange about the emperor's temper, why he didn't do anything to Yang He! Everyone is waiting for the following words of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, after talking about Hong Chengchou, it is obvious that there is a plan to let Hong Chengchou replace Yang He, and everyone is waiting for the emperor to make a disposition of Yang He!
Yang Sichang is the one who cares the most among the people who are waiting, because he is Yang He's son!
Of course, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not forget Jì Yang He, let alone Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang was the Imperial History of the Right Governor at the time, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen admired Yang Sichang very much! Compared with Zhou Yanru, Yang Sichang may not be sharp enough, but Yang Sichang is more like a complex of the shrewd and hidden Hong Chengchou and the arrogant Zhou Yanru, and in fact, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen admires Zhou Yanru, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang, and more importantly, the three of them can be literate and martial, and they are rare talents in his hands who can enter and exit the phase!
In the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yanru, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang were all very shining! However, strong ability is not what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen admires Yang Sichang the most, the key is Yang Sichang's loyalty, which is also a specific factor for Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to still reuse Yang Sichang after passing Yang He to the first three sides!
"The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation in the Jinggi region of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect must be ruthlessly killed, the construction of the imperial party must be done in a solid manner, and the people who are not suitable for the imperial party must be resolutely cleaned up, and the right people must actively move closer to the imperial party, no matter how chaotic the situation is, the Ming court itself cannot be chaotic, and my imperial party cannot be chaotic, only the most determined people who stand with me are worthy of entering the imperial party, Zhou Yanru, this is all your business!" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly.
Zhou Yanru was overjoyed, forcibly suppressed the joy of the coming grace, and knelt on the ground when he went out of class, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
Everyone wondered why the emperor never said Yang He's problem, saying that Yang He had rebelled, and the evidence might be insufficient, but after more than two years of suppressing bandits, not only did not reduce the number of anti-people, but more and more suppressed them, which can't be ignored, right?
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at Yang Sichang, "Yang Sichang, you prepare, tomorrow you will go to Datong with the inspection of Xunlou and the guards of the West Factory!" ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it was to hold a hostage, and the emperor must have hoped to use Yang Sichang to contain Yang He, so that Yang He could smoothly hand over the military power in Shanxi and Shaanxi!
Of course, Yang Sichang understood what the emperor meant, and calmly went out to receive the order, although he was only a person in his thirties, but Yang Sichang looked much older than his actual age, and he was very old and capable, "Weichen obeys the order, the emperor, Weichen asks the emperor to see that my father has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for decades, if the emperor wants to confess to his father, please use Yang Sichang to bear it alone, so that his father can return to his hometown to support the elderly." ”
Yang Sichang's words, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was not surprised, he had heard these words back then, and when he said these words in the court, it was not a coy gesture, it can be seen that Yang Sichang is a person who follows filial piety, which is also a reason why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen admires Yang Sichang very much!
"Yang Sichang, it's not up to me to decide what I want to do, it depends on how your father goes? People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's gaze was like that of an old man.
Yang Sichang's whole body trembled, the emperor's meaning was obvious, Yang Sichang actually understood his father's personality very well, it seems that his father is in a catastrophe this time!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw that Yang Sichang no longer said anything, and did not take it to heart, he has enough understanding of Yang Sichang, when dealing with evil cults, he will use the means of joint sitting, but to deal with official corruption, to deal with official dereliction of duty, he is an official who does not involve his family, and he is not involved! It can be said that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is still relatively gentle in dealing with officialdom and kills many people, because those corrupt officials are hopeless! And the number of these hopelessly officials is too huge! accounts for more than ninety percent of the Ming officialdom!
In order to stabilize the officials who were retained, he once made a decree that all the officials who had undergone shuanggui, found out the corruption problem during their tenure in the previous dynasty, and returned the dirty silver, as long as the amount was not particularly huge, they would no longer be investigated, it was such a way of thinking, after all, he still had some people to do things, and his ones from the nine products could not mature in a year or two.
The formation of any political system will not be completed in a day or two, and this is one of the most complex organizations in the world!
Zheng Yuelin and Zhang Huiyi couldn't help but glance at the emperor, but the throne was already empty, the emperor didn't know when, he had already gone down to the court, and the ministers knelt on the ground in Wang Chengen's announcement of his retreat from the court, facing the throne with supreme power, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
