Forty-nine days later, Fan Wenliang was funeral.

Many officials, friends and students participated, but the number was still small. Fan Wenliang was not very sociable, and the emperor who was so suspicious and sick was a little more cautious. Dou Deren came, and Yan Fucheng, who was far away in Star City, also sent a letter of condolence. There were originally two people supporting the coffin, but now, there is only Dou Deren, followed by Zhou Zhe.

Even if Zhou Zhe is a suspect, but afterwards, they actually understand that it is anyone, but it cannot be Zhou Zhe. Because Zhou Zhe has the cup engraved with chrysanthemum in his hand. Fan Wenliang looked at people all his life and never made mistakes. Out of trust in his father, Fan Wenliang's son still agreed to Zhou Zhe's request to support the coffin.

The coffin was held from Fan Wenliang's house until it was out of the ten-mile long pavilion in the capital, and finally Fan Wenliang's son would escort the coffin all the way west to his hometown in Hexi for burial.

The guard of honor was in front, followed by Zhou Zhe and Dou Deren standing side by side.

Dou Deren looked at Zhou Zhe, and he was also apologetic in his heart, he, who was the imperial historian, didn't understand the situation, and at the critical moment, he suspected that Zhou Zhe had made a black hand.

"That day... Dou Deren hesitated to speak, halfway through his words, the former scares people like Gatling's mouth can't go on.

Zhou Zhe held the coffin with one hand and said: "What I understand is that individuals will lose their sense of proportion in that situation. Doing the follow-up for Fan Gong is what we should do. After he finished speaking, he glanced back, and behind him, there was the current capital of the dynasty, Zheng Tong.

Dou Deren didn't understand what Zhou Zhe was referring to, Fan Gong died, he was very sad, and his friends for decades could talk to Zhou Zhe, which was already the limit.

After bidding farewell to Fan Wenliang, Zhou Zhe returned to Beijing.

The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living should be the greatest comfort to the deceased.

On the way back to the city, Zhou Zhe handed Fan Wenliang's unfinished silver ticket plan to Zheng Tong.

"I think Fan Gong's death has something to do with this, Zheng Gong, can you continue Fan Gong's business?" Zhou Zhe's eyes stared at Zheng Tong, he knew this person, his ability to do things, was not under Fan Wenliang, but there was one thing, he was an official fan. Now, it's easy to say that after being the head of the civil servants, I don't know if I have the courage to take over this thunder.

In the carriage, Zheng Tong looked at Fan Wenliang's handwriting, word by word, no matter how big or small. He used to be a scholar in the household department, and these were originally the main work of the household department, especially the food stamps, which he mainly did in the past year in office.

"Replace silver stamps with food stamps. No wonder, no wonder. Zheng Tong muttered that strange sentence, and his face froze.

It's not that he doesn't know that Fan Wenliang's death may have something else to do, but he never expected that the joint is here.

Undoubtedly, this is the way to cut off the four major factions to plunder Dasheng's resources economically, and the grain stamps are linked to grain production, and it also makes countless businessmen and relatives lose the way to plunder Dasheng with money and silver. There are countless people who have sinned against him.

"What?" Zhou Zhe's words interrupted Zheng Tong's thoughts, nothing more than that, he wanted to get two answers, you do it, or don't do it.

Zheng Tong looked at the young man in front of him, they had shared hardships and hardships, and had festivals, Zhou Zhe pressed him to the position of Hexi's political envoy for Hexi for two more years, and later, for Hedong's disaster relief, he was sent to the household department. It can be said that the hands and eyes are all in the sky, but none of them, do these things for Dasheng.

If he didn't do it, what would this young man do? Kick him down by another person? It's not impossible. But Zheng Tong also has his temper and pride.

"Whether to do it or not is a major national matter, and it needs to be passed by the court. "There was neither consent nor refusal.

Zhou Zhe nodded and didn't say anything.

But just as they reached the main road of the capital, a cavalryman in black armor galloped from the north and shouted

"Great victory in the northern plains! Great victory in the northern plains!"

Zheng Tong frowned, looking at Zhou Zhe, whose face remained unchanged, as if he had noticed something.

Zhou Zhe just glanced at the galloping cavalry, and then said goodbye to Zheng Tong

"I'm almost at the teacher's door, so I'm leaving. ”

Zheng Tong was just about to wave his hand, but Zhou Zhe had already lifted the curtain and went down. Leaving Zheng Tong stunned.

It seems that even if he doesn't wave, the young man is still going to go, like!

Zheng Tong's eyes froze, and he guessed a lot of things. I'm afraid that the great victory of the North Plains was not sudden, I am afraid that everything has been planned in advance, just like the twists and turns in his hand, whether he can do it or not, sooner or later, because there is a greater force behind him like the rolling of the wheel of history to force him to make a move.

So what's next?

Zheng Tong couldn't see the chess moves behind him clearly.

What do you want to preach with the great victory in the northern plains? Do you want to preach force?

Neither.

With the good news, there is a follow-up, the food shortage in the northern plains, and the articles list the various places in Pingding over the years, and most of the grain transported from the northern plains to pacify the famine. And this pressure has made many people ignore one point, Longquan Pass in the northern plains is the party that started the war. Now the entire northern front is blocked, and although it won for a while, it said everything was overwhelming.

I want money, I want food stamps, I want food, I want ordnance, I want everything.

This kind of thing can't be suppressed, and the good news is shouted to enter the capital, so it can't be hidden.

The next day, the emergency court meeting was launched, and for this matter, Zhou Zhe deliberately got up very early and went to the court. When he went to the court, he didn't speak, he stood behind Yang Jue, watched and listened quietly. Yang Jue wondered very much about him, a junior brother, the initiator of the Great War in the Northern Plains was obviously Zhou Zhe, but why he didn't say a word, just waiting for everyone to discuss.

Zhou Zhe said: "I'm here to see people, not to chat." ”

"Look at people?" Yang Jue was puzzled and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Zhe nodded: "Fan Gong is gone, his affairs must be done well to comfort him in the spirit of heaven." Look at who is against now, who is nodding, who is proposing. Later... ”

"Find a credential for killing people in the future?" Yang Jue's face was not good-looking, and Zhou Zhe became more and more lawless.

Zhou Zhe nodded.

Yang Jue reprimanded: "Do you know the consequences of your doing this? It's more like the world. ”

Zhou Zhe shook his head: "I know, but didn't they do it too?"

Yang Jue was speechless.

At this time, Zheng Tong had already submitted the silver ticket reform that should have been decided in the daily court meeting.

"Fan. . . Oh! What is the relationship between this silver ticket reform and the current war in Beiyuan?" Li Chi frowned, this matter seems to have a lot to do with it, at least, the grain stamps have been changed to silver stamps, which means that the silver stamps in many people's hands may become waste paper and go bankrupt.

"Back to Your Majesty. Zheng Tong began to tell the story from ancient times to the present.

From the origin of the silver ticket to the fact that the silver ticket has now become a knife that continues to cut Dasheng's meat, sentence by sentence.

The four major factions each set up a money bank, used their own reputation to print silver tickets, and then purchased Dasheng's grain, spiritual grass, and various materials through the silver tickets.

I understand this truth, people use credibility, and they can exchange a stamped piece of paper for everything they need. If it sounds good, it is called economic plunder, and if it is not good, it is called paper money hegemony. How much is printed, people have the final say, Dasheng's money is not nothing, it's just that it is all from the relatives and sects, what is the matter with Guan Dasheng?

Fan Wenliang's early work was to replace the silver stamps in a few provinces after the catastrophe and war, and it was slowly advanced, but the effect was excellent, and the reason was simple, how could the common people have hundreds of taels of silver, and they couldn't ask for food stamps.

Now, Zheng Tong directly stated the key points, and even limited all future transactions related to strategic materials such as grain, minerals, spiritual grass and spiritual liquid, to the scope of food stamps. And why does Kitahara need food stamps? Because food stamps are guaranteed, grain stamps can buy grain, and other silver is already limited to grain.

Li Chi has a headache, this kind of thing is broken, and the sects of the whole world will rise up against it. Because there are too many interest groups involved, including a group of officials who accompany the audience to sing the big show.

After Zheng Tong's recital was circulated to the crowd and his account, the scene fell silent for a while.

But soon, someone jumped out. The first is the Xun Qi, most of them are proud of the merits of their ancestors, and their brains are not easy enough to be used as guns.

"That's a good point, then let me ask you, if you don't use a silver ticket, what should you do with a large transaction?"

"Food stamps can also be large amounts. ”

"How to redeem food stamps and silver stamps. ”

"The food stamps are issued by my Dasheng Household Department, and the silver stamps are not issued by my Dasheng, how to redeem them, you should go to those money and silver buildings. ”

After a few words, the relatives lost their temper, this is a push of two, five or six, and the division of benign assets!

Then there were some small officials of three or four grades, who asked a lot, but they didn't ask who paid for the silver tickets.

Until the end, Shi Yunjie, who had just returned to the capital, threw out this question

"Many people have silver tickets, accumulated for generations, and the silver tickets are their property at the bottom of the box, isn't it going to make people bankrupt?"

"Yes!

"Makes sense. ”

Shi Yunjie's question immediately resonated with many people, and they all shouted and praised Shi Yunjie, praising the level of the leader who had returned to the household department.

"I did not say that the circulation of silver stamps should be banned, but that in the future, strategic materials such as grain, minerals, spiritual grass, and spiritual liquid must be traded with grain stamps. As for the silver, you can go to the place where you can buy things and exchange them. ”

I'm asking if I had breakfast?

And you are answering, the price of meat in the vegetable market has risen again today.

Now that the two of them asked and answered like this, Li Chi also calmed down and narrowed his eyes. He's calculating, too.

If strategic resources continue to be traded with silver tickets, it will be equivalent to the entire Dasheng working hard for the four major factions and relatives every year, after all, people will print silver tickets. But if these things are digested internally, with food stamps, the result will be different. At the very least, the outflow of resources is isolated, which is the most critical point.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, all the policies in the general direction still have to be decided by the emperor in the end, Li Chi had the last laugh

"I'll talk about it later. ”

He had actually agreed in his heart, but now, what he had to think about was military affairs, what should he do if the four major factions counterattacked?

Let's talk about it later?

The longer it drags on, the greater the pain caused by this silver ticket reform, and Zhou Zhe knows that whatever he says now in the court will have the same effect as what the dumplings say. So, he didn't say anything as if he was nothing, and he was ready to leave after the meeting.

Zheng Tong is a little uncomfortable, you Zhou Zhe asked me to sing a big play, what does it mean that you only watch the drama when it's over.

As soon as the emperor left, Zheng Tong angrily found Zhou Zhe from the crowd and asked

"Marquis Zhongyong, why is this?"

Zhou Zhe smiled: "How do you ask?"

Zheng Tong almost threw the fold in his face, how can he ask this?

Seeing Zheng Tong's face that was about to be unbearable, Zhou Zhe smiled and said: "If Your Majesty finally disagrees, then good! Let's also open a money bank, and in the future, everyone will eat meat and drink wine together." ”

After speaking, he left Zheng Tong with a stunned face.

Zheng Tong was not angry at first, but later, he laughed out loud, and immediately asked the chamberlain to see the emperor.
