Chapter 509: One Move
Emperor Wan Hong has had a headache recently, not a headache from being troubled by things, but a real headache on the top of his neck!
So I haven't been to the court for a few days.
On this day, he still did not go to court, and meditated in the dormitory.
The imperial concubine took the pill in the eunuch's hand and gave it to him: "Holy Lord, it's time to take the medicine!" ”
Emperor Wan Hong took the pill, melted it with warm water, and then swallowed it into his stomach, and when he finished eating, he opened his eyes and looked at the imperial concubine and said: "It's very comfortable to eat just now, but I have a feeling that it hurts more than the original after stopping the medicine, is there something wrong with the pill!" ”
Because of his illness, Emperor Wan Hong, like his grandfather, had already begun to cultivate.
Of course, the imperial concubine is also contributing to the trouble, because the imperial concubine is thirty-nine years old and wants to give birth to a son, and Li Guangchen has no problem with her checking her body, that is the problem of Emperor Wan Hong.
So these pills are for tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang.
The imperial concubine hurriedly said: "Since it works after eating, how can it hurt more later?" Saint, these are all great tonic medicines, which are collected and refined by Taoist priests for several months, and you can't help but take them. ”
Emperor Wan Hong's head was more comfortable, and his spirit was much better, he nodded, and then took the imperial concubine's hand and let the imperial concubine sit beside him, and said: "Let you worry, I will be fine, I want to have another son with you, let our Qi Xi come back!" ”
When the second prince Qi Xi was mentioned, the imperial concubine burst into tears, but she nodded affirmatively: "The concubine will always be by the emperor's side." ”
Before the two of them could speak, the eunuch of the General Administration Department came to deliver the excerpts.
Emperor Wan Hong had just used medicine, but he had some spirit, and after taking a few folds, he saw that he either wanted military salaries or built river embankments, in short, he had to use money everywhere, but the treasury did not have so much money.
Emperor Wan Hong threw away the fold and shouted: "Go and ask the cabinet, where is the money in the treasury?!" Then he just lay down and didn't bother to look at it again.
The emperor's temper tantrum because the treasury had no money soon spread throughout the court and the opposition.
In fact, this is nothing new, when Shen Tianlan was alive, the imperial court had saved a lot of money, but gradually, I don't know how, it didn't work again.
Today's Shoufu Shen Shixi is a diligent and benevolent person, but no matter how hard he tries, the treasury just can't turn silver.
Therefore, the emperor's temper has become bigger and bigger in recent months, and even every day, all because of the matter in the treasury.
If it can be transmitted to the imperial court, it can be transmitted to the market, not to mention that there are a group of students who are about to enter the market.
Yes, the Chinese New Year is the Spring Festival, and there are already students from other places who have come to the capital one after another, to the Guozijian, to various places where the joints can be opened, and want to become famous in the spring of the next year.
Gu Xiancheng is one of them.
If you ask who Gu Xiancheng is, he is also a son of the Jiangnan family and a former friend of Shen Weiqing.
Now that Shen Weiqing has recovered his fame, he can also refer to it, and he can make friends openly, Gu Xiancheng came from Jiangnan and went directly to him.
On this day, he and Shen Weiqing exchanged articles with several classmates of Guozijian on the lake, and I don't know who mentioned it at the beginning, and talked about the emptiness of the treasury.
Everyone offered ideas and discussed how to increase the revenue of the national treasury.
In fact, Shen Tianlan has already provided everyone with ideas, and the implementation has been effective, but it has been cut in half.
The reason for the beheading is very simple, after Shen Tianlan's death, his people were wiped out by the emperor, and some big family officials did not support the reform, so many reforms were abandoned halfway.
That is, the reform is feasible, but it needs a strong and powerful person to lead, and now there is no such person, and everyone does not dare to mention that person to the emperor again.
So the discussion came and went, and the crux of the matter was in the emperor and the cabinet.
The problem lies in these two places, no one dares to talk about it, and the students are speechless for a moment, and then turn the topic to learning.
Gu Xiancheng thought for a while, called Shen Weiqing to the stern of the boat where there was no one, and he asked, "Didn't your grandfather leave you a way to govern the country when he was alive?" He should be very thoughtful about this question, hasn't he discussed it with you? ”
Shen Weiqing nodded and said, "It's not nothing, but I'm soft-spoken, who can I talk to?" Who trusts me? ”
Gu Xiancheng said: "Didn't the emperor personally pardon you and restore your fame?" ”
Shen Weiqing said: "That's because I was lucky to meet a nobleman, but I didn't mention this matter at this time, I want to wait until I was in the palace on the day of high school, so that the emperor will be more impressed with me, and it will not be in vain for my grandfather to cultivate me." ”
Gu Xiancheng nodded in agreement: "This is not bad!" ”
After saying that, he smiled and said, "What the hell is the idea?" Can you tell me about it? ”
Before Shen Weiqing could express his position, Gu Xiancheng said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell others, let alone use it myself, anyway, I am also a scholar, and I will never steal other people's plans for governing the country, purely out of curiosity." ”
Shen Weiqing smiled, as warm as a spring breeze, he said: "Brother Gu is serious, this is nothing, how can I be afraid of you stealing it, in fact, it is really a very simple idea, do you know Hengyuan Qianzhuang?" ”
Gu Xiancheng nodded and said: "I haven't heard of it before, it seems to have been launched overnight, not to mention it is very famous, and the people still trust it very much, and they like to save money there." ”
Shen Weiqing nodded and said: "Hengyuan Money Village now does not use silver as a circulating coin, they printed paper money called Hengyuan coin, like a silver ticket, but smaller than the face value of the silver ticket, very practical, people can go to the money village to exchange Hengyuan coins to spend it, they don't need to bring so many copper coins, Hengyuan coins can also be exchanged for silver money at any time to Hengyuan Bank, at any time." ”
"My grandfather also said when he was alive that the empty treasury is not only that it cannot collect taxes, but also that there is too little silver in the market, so the imperial court can print some paper money, and a money bank can print it, why can't the imperial court?"
Then print as much as you want, and how much money you have in the treasury is not up to the imperial court?!
Gu Xiancheng suddenly realized, raised his fingers and said, "It's worthy of Lord Shoufu's idea, high!" ”
After getting off the boat, Gu Xiancheng said that he was going to buy books, and did not go home with Shen Weiqing, Shen Weiqing took the ingots and walked on the Hutong streets of the capital.
Seeing Shen Weiqing absentmindedly looking at the sky, Yuan Bao thought about it, and still asked, "Childe, why did you tell Gu Gongzi about the way of governing the country that the grandfather left you?" Although he is a classmate, he really can't tell clearly, especially in the face of fame and fortune, if he takes it and says it and is adopted by the imperial court, it won't be his credit? In the future, he will go more smoothly than you! ”
When the bow of the ship, the ingots are there.
Shen Weiqing thought of Li Guangchen, and thought to herself that she didn't know what the young lady was doing, whether she was doing well or not.
Then he retracted his thoughts and said to Yuanbao: "That's not what my grandfather told me, that's what Xiaoguang told me!" ”
Yuan Bao was stunned: "You didn't say that it was the old lady of Shoufu......"
"It's not!" Shen Weiqing said categorically: "This is Xiaoguang's move!" ”
