Chapter 522: Changing the Yuan Jiajing

Jiajing co-opted a group of old eunuchs headed by Zhang Yong, and he was able to gain a firm foothold. Yang Tinghe used his prestige and the interests of cleaning up the Zhengde faction to complete the perfect transition of the old and new handovers of the Ming Dynasty.

However, even so, Jiajing and Yang Tinghe need time.

Jiajing needed time to win over the courtiers and exert the emperor's influence in the hearts of the ministers.

And Yang Tinghe needs to guard against the counterattack of the Zhengde remnants.

Anyway, Zhengde has been the emperor for more than ten years. There is also the merit of killing Dayan Khan, and there has never been a shortage of admirers among the border army, so Yang Tinghe needs time to digest all this.

If they were not cleaned up, Yang Tinghe felt uncomfortable.

It's not about right or wrong, just standing.

Zhu Houhuang's army withdrew from Tianjin step by step. Zhu Houhuang returned to Dongyong first.

In the face of such great changes.

Not only did Zhu Houhuang feel a little confused, but even Dongyong felt panicked.

At one time, hundreds of people fled from Dongyong. Don't underestimate these hundreds of people, all those who have the ability to break away are all capable of mixing well in Dongyong, and many of them are officials in Dongyong.

The shortage of officials in Dongyong has just eased for a while. Faced with such a situation. Dongyong was in a hurry for a while, but Dongyong had already encountered such a situation several times, so Dongyong could still support it. However, what cannot be supported is the price of Dongyong banknotes.

Originally, the face value of Dongyong banknotes was only ninety percent.

But with Jiajing's ascension to the throne, the news of King Yong's southern flight came out. The face value of banknotes has plummeted, and even fallen a lot in one go, from 90% to 50%.

The downward trend has not ended, but with the return of Zhu Houhuang, the face value of Dongyong banknotes hovers at the price of fifty percent.

As His Royal Highness Zhu Houhuang, who single-handedly created the situation of Dongyong. When he didn't feel it himself, he was already a Dinghai Divine Needle-level existence in the hearts of the people around him and the maritime merchants around him.

Everyone observed Zhu Houhuang's actions. Let's see how Zhu Houhuang changes this situation.

Zhu Houhuang immediately summoned Wang Yangming, Xu Song, and Wu Xingzhi, and immediately asked, "Say, what should I do about this situation now?" ”

I can't help but be nervous.

Since the Battle of Malacca, Dongyong's finances have been in large deficits. Zhu Houhuang issued paper money to pay a large amount of military spending. Therefore, the value of the banknote directly affects the payment of Dongyong's finances.

Dongyong's finances can no longer withstand the toss.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister thinks that the edict of the new emperor will be made public. It can calm people's hearts. ”

The reason why Zhu Houhuang wants this edict even if he regresses. That's because of this. Zhu Houhuang doesn't need confidence, but others need it.

"That's not enough." Zhu Houhuang said: "This alone is not enough to support the people's confidence in Dongyong. ”

At the end of the day, it's a matter of faith.

Anyone with a little political experience knows that there must be a war between Jiajing and King Yong, although now that Jiajing has issued such a holy decree, it must be the new emperor who ascends the throne. hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, so let's let it go first, not really to let go of King Yong.

Therefore, a single edict is not enough to quell the panic.

Xu Song said: "Your Highness, with the opinion of the ministers, increase the supply of Dongyong's materials. ”

As part of the banknote program, banknotes replaced things like the iron lead with salt and silver. The materials produced by the Shaofu, such as salt, iron, copper ships, etc., must be paid for with paper money.

However, the current price of paper money, the purchase of materials from Shaofu, is to lose money. Zhu Houhuang sighed in his heart: "Now even if you lose money, you have to admit it." ”

You must know that now the entire Dongyong, even with military salaries and officials, is distributed in paper money, and taxes are settled in paper money. Compared to the loss of Shaofu. The value of banknotes is even more important to Dongyong.

Zhu Houhuang opened his eyes abruptly and said, "From today onwards, all the Yongjun will be put into labor. Production must be expanded, Brother Xu. ”

Xu Song said: "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You make a plan for Lonely, you must increase the supply of materials. ”

"Yes." Xu Song said.

"In this regard, we need the help of Master Wang." Zhu Houhuang turned his head and faced Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Highness's trust. ”

The so-called weighing technique is to adjust the proportion of materials, copper coins, silver taels, and paper money put into the market to maintain the price of paper money, and Wang Yangming has studied this aspect.

Although Wang Yangming's skills are all read from the history books of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, they are much stronger than Xu Song, Wu Xingzhi and others.

After all, in the matter of manipulating a country's finance, Xu Song's natural pattern is not enough.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister has a suggestion, please ask Your Highness to resume the trade between Dongyong and Fu Langji. ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't know what to say for a while.

In the battle with the Franc machine, Zhu Houhuang fought and lost distance. But looking back at this moment, I have to admit that he was right, if he couldn't drive Franco out of Nanyang before Zhengde died. Let the franc machine have no place in the South Seas.

Otherwise, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Dongyong has changed. Then the Franc machine was in the South Seas again, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen. The situation in Dongyong will only get worse.

It's just that the sequelae of this battle and the Franc machine have not yet been resolved.

If you don't know, the relationship with Franc is still quite deadlocked. Trade relations are not yet available

You must know that now the entire Dongyong, even with military salaries and officials, is distributed in paper money, and taxes are settled in paper money. Compared to the loss of Shaofu. The value of banknotes is even more important to Dongyong.

Zhu Houhuang opened his eyes abruptly and said, "From today onwards, all the Yongjun will be put into labor. Production must be expanded, Brother Xu. ”
