Chapter 614: Lust for Profit

The emperor doesn't give money, the household department has no money, and things still have to be done. That's worrying. Several bigwigs in the cabinet were sitting together for a meeting, when someone suddenly said: "Since His Majesty is unwilling to allocate internal funds, let's go and borrow money." ”

Borrowing money to do the country's affairs seems to be a method. Everyone looked at the person who spoke, Wei Zaode!

Zhou Yanru smiled very reluctantly, and at first glance, he looked like he was smiling but not smiling. Hong Chengchou closed his eyes directly, I won't express my opinion on this matter. Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wei Zaode as if he had seen a ghost, and Yang Tinglin sneered on the side: "Yes, a good way, really a good way." According to the new Cabinet Decree, the term of office of the members of this room is only five years. If we don't get elected in the next election, then we won't have anything to do. The silver was borrowed from us, and it is indeed very simple to spend it, but Lord Wei, do you think the ministers in the next cabinet will recognize this account? Don't explain, I know who you want to borrow this money from. ”

After a few words, even sarcastic and sarcastic, Wei Zaode's face couldn't hold back when he was said, and he sneered: "Isn't this for state affairs." Hong Chengchou couldn't listen to these words, opened his eyes and said lightly: "Yes, the silver was decided to be borrowed by us through discussion, and the silver was borrowed from Dafa Bank, and we spent it very comfortably." If you can't pay it back in the future, this account can be delayed forever, anyway, it's a collective decision of the cabinet, and it won't trouble you Lord Wei, right? keeps competing with the people for profit, this money has not been borrowed yet, maybe the way to repay the debt has been figured out. ”

Wei Zaode had never suffered Chen Xie's loss, he thought he was smart, and wanted to drag everyone into the water together. People, black eyes can't see snowflakes and silver, he thinks that his mention can be recognized by everyone. Who knows what they're doing is human spirit. I can see through his tricks at a glance. Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, he can't say anything, after all, he is under the banner of solving problems. Lu Xiangsheng said it disdainfully, Yang Tinglin was polite, and Hong Chengchou didn't dare not say something ugly. Quite simply, if he doesn't speak, he might be considered to be good with Wei Zaode. This time. If you don't take a stand, who knows what you think in your heart, you can be doubted without evidence at all.

Although Hong Chengchou also hates Chen Xie, he is more afraid of Chen Xie. It can be said that I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life, the kind of bird gun that can be fired continuously, as long as it blinks an eye, it can take his life. After entering the cabinet, Hong Chengchou has been working hard to remedy this embarrassing relationship, and on the surface, it seems that he has offended Chen Xie. He's fine. In fact, it's not like that at all, the kind of bird gun that can shoot from a distance, and it kills him every minute. Chen Xieren is overseas, and there is no suspicion of killing Hong Chengchou.

Of course, it's not certain that the guy will do it, but it's certain that offending him won't do any good. This is a guy who ordered the killing of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers with corrupt military discipline without blinking an eye when he was reorganizing the army in Xiangyang. The four words ruthless. is not enough to describe Chen Xie's actions at the beginning. What Bai Qi and Xiang Yu killed, it was a pawn who killed. Chen Xie killed officers and soldiers, and it was his own people. More than 20,000 people were killed. Now no one dares to live in that county, it is empty.

This kind of person, it's best to stay away from him, safe! So. Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to say unpleasant words, and if he offended Wei Zaode, he could not offend Chen Xie. At least let Chen Xie see his attitude, and don't misunderstand that he is in the same group as Wei Zaode. The people of the Hong family are still running transportation at sea, offending Chen Xie. If you kill people on the sea, you won't have a place to investigate.

Zhou Yanru has not expressed his position, at this time he is thinking about something, whether the content of today's meeting will be spread, once it is spread, there are people in Wei Zaode's family who are running the route of Japan. All of you here, except for Lu Xiangsheng, everyone else is running shipping at home, right? It is estimated that these words do not need to reach Chen Xie's ears, and some people are willing to destroy the Wei family's ship. This man is so clever that people who are too clever often die at the hands of their own cleverness. You dare to take advantage of any cheapness! What this Shoufu doesn't dare to touch, you dare to reach out, and you have to pull everyone to accompany you.

"Let's do it first, and then we will discuss it later." Of course, Zhou Yanru can't let everyone quarrel, and the task of the first assistant of the cabinet is to grasp the overall situation. None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, and he can't cover the sky with one hand like before, but the situation must be mastered. The crowd broke up unhappily and the meeting ended. But there are too many people who are worried about Chen Xie, and in the face of interests, not everyone can calm down. There are many smart people, and Zhou Yanru and Hong Chengchou are representative figures.

Back at home, the first thing Zhou Yanru did was to ask the housekeeper to invite a few people to discuss things, and Hong Chengchou went to Yushi Huang Xineng's house, the relationship between the two was good, and they didn't know what everyone was discussing when they closed the door. Wei Zaode was not idle, Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the ministry, Wu Bangchen, Cao Rong and others all arrived at his house.

In the morning of the next day, as soon as Zhu Youzhen's ass sat down, Yushi Cao Rong stood up and said one thing, currency is one of the fundamentals of the country and should not be manipulated in the hands of private individuals. What does that mean? The currency of the Ming Dynasty, strictly speaking, is copper coins, which are official banknotes. But there are very few of the former, and the latter is already discredited. Silver has become the default currency because of its quality. In the past, there were no silver coins in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many articles that can be done here, such as fire consumption and the like. But when Chen Xie was in Dengzhou, the silver coins he made were quickly accepted by the market. Because of the exquisite workmanship and the difficulty of imitating the zuò fake, silver coins soon occupied the main circulation market. Now the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, the silver is no longer used, you have to use silver coins. There are the following types of silver coins. One or two, five money, two money, one money. In addition, there is also the copper round issued by the Dafa Bank, because the quality is guaranteed, the quality is good, it is difficult to fake, and it gradually replaced the currency of the past.

The household department of the imperial court also minted coins, but because of this poor quality, no one in the market was willing to admit it.

If this question is placed in modern times, it is a very strict matter. It is also a very strict thing to put in the Ming Dynasty, but this period is more special, that is, the actual monetary system of the Ming Dynasty did not play any role. Chen Xie's currency took advantage of the situation and directly replaced the official currency. The problem is that looking at this issue from Zhu Youzhen's standpoint, I don't think it's a big deal. This currency Chen Xie made out, and it can be said that it will be clear to pay taxes and enter the treasury in the future, and if you want to do something, there is no door. In the short term, it seems, the country's income is increasing. Zhu Youzhen certainly didn't realize the long-term danger of this matter.

After Cao Rong, Wu Bangchen stood up, and he also said one thing, the right to issue currency should be held in the hands of the state. So, who is responsible for the minting of coins? In other words, no matter who is in charge, it is better than Chen Xie who has the right to issue currency. This word, taken literally, is definitely dedicated to the country.

But after these two stood up, Zhu Youzhen felt that the atmosphere of today's court meeting was wrong, and he didn't feel what was wrong, so he could only wait patiently. Zhu Youzhen doesn't know that currency issuance should be in the hands of the state? He must know it, but he knows even more that once this matter is in the hands of the court, hehehe! The result is bound to be another treasure banknote.

Don't underestimate the low discipline index of these moths in Daming, they can do anything. This means that Zhu Youjian clearly knows the importance of the right to issue currency, but he is indulging Chen Xie to do so. Why? Because Chen Xie has the ability to maintain this monetary system from collapsing, these officials of the Ming Dynasty, including the internal supervisors, cannot do this.

Chen Xie is constantly withdrawing his forces from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been away for a long time and has not returned to the Ming Dynasty. This is an attitude, which is equivalent to telling the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister is staying overseas, and you can help take care of your wife and children." "Zhu Youzhen's understanding is very simple, heavy ears are born from outside. Chen Xie is this attitude, he will not come, his wife and children are as stable as Mount Tai. Whoever dares to reach out and scoop the meat in his pot, you try one.

Zhu Youzhen doesn't think his ministers are stupid, but why do they do it? Four words, lust for profit.

Are they really not afraid that Chen Xie will set aside the Ming Dynasty and establish a country overseas? You are not afraid, I am afraid! After years of turmoil, the situation that finally got better in Daming really can't stand the toss.

Yushi Zheng Chuxun also stood up, and at this time, Zhu Youzhen, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his heart was much more relaxed. Now it was no longer as ignorant of the details of these ministers as it used to be. After Wen Tiren had a party, Zhu Youzhen made great efforts to investigate the minister.

"Your Majesty, the minister has this music, and the minister impeached the scholar Wei Zaode, colluded with friends, plotted to kill Zhongliang, and wanted to cause the Ming Dynasty to be in chaos." This is fatal, no matter how calm Wei Zaode is, he has to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, please return your Majesty's innocence." Zheng Chuxun is not a vain talk, he took this and went under the knife.

"Just last night, Lord Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the ministry, Cao Rong and Wu Bangchen, entered your house in just a moment. Huh, can you explain why? Are you saying that you are reciting poetry? That's really good Yaxing. Wei Zaode's face turned red when he said this, and he said angrily: "You dare to spy on this official, you are so bold." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the ministers communicate with each other, and the imperial history attacks, who will dare to interact with each other in the future?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said nothing, Yushi Huang Xineng stood up and sneered: "Then it depends on the results of the Jingcha, the right servant of the household department, which one is the successor?" It can't be Lord Wang Zhengzhi, right? (To be continued......)
