Your Majesty, you see that this information is some of the actions of famous and capable ministers during the Xianfeng period. Commentary: After a detailed investigation, Emperor Xianfeng appreciated Su Shun's capable and resolute style and insight beyond ordinary people, so he decided to promote Su Shun and reuse it.

Six years after Xianfeng, Su Shun's road to being an official soared, and he successively held important positions such as the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the household department, and gradually became the powerful minister of the Xianfeng Dynasty.

At this time, with the expansion of the occupied area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty's finances were almost on the verge of bankruptcy, most of the tax losses were lost, and the military expenditure increased exponentially, which made Emperor Xianfeng at a loss.

Su Shun was bold and fearless, and he proposed two countermeasures to Emperor Xianfeng. First, smoking is prohibited from collecting taxes.

It is to abolish the policy of strictly prohibiting opium and collect a tax on opium tobacco. Emperor Xianfeng had a difficult face, the Qing Dynasty promulgated a ban on opium from the Yongzheng period, and the enforcement of successive dynasties became stricter and stricter, and the Opium War occurred during the Daoguang period.

Despite the defeat, Daoguang did not change the ban on opium, but the ban on opium was actually a policy of covering one's ears and stealing bells, and opium could not be banned at all.

Smuggling by foreigners, trafficking by traitors in China, and poisoning all over the world, the state has not been able to get tax benefits.

Su Shun said that it is better to seek truth from facts and allow opium to be sold and smoked, so that the state can also receive a large amount of tax revenue in customs, ports, transportation, and consumption.

Of course, the government's permission to trade drugs is a bit shameless, and in Su Shun's view, he can't even save his life, so what do you want to do?

Emperor Xianfeng received the suggestion, and his heart was full of contradictions, and the ban on opium would inevitably affect the image of the country, and some scholars and doctors would inevitably scold the government.

Xianfeng doesn't want to be a ruler who has lost his heart, but Su Shun is right, and it is not unreasonable, otherwise how to deal with the provinces

What about the "debt collectors"? Xianfeng also made up his mind, and the news spread, Su Shun was scolded by the Manchu officials, and the opponents were righteous and stern, accusing Su Shun of being a traitor.

It is said that once opium is banned, how can you see the first emperor in the underground? said that Emperor Xianfeng's cheeks were feverish and speechless, and he was unwilling to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and did not take Su Shun's suggestion.

The opium tobacco tax was confiscated, the state finances were exhausted, Su Shun's eyes were red, and he broke ground on Tai Sui's head again, and he wanted to cut the money and grain of the Eight Banners, which was the second point.

The Manchus were the ruling nation of the Qing Dynasty, and the state was a system of support for the Manchus, and the whole nation was divided into eight military units, called the Eight Banners.

The men of the Eight Banners do not work, they do not farm, and they do not engage in business, and they all rely on being soldiers to support their families.

But as time goes by, the population is getting bigger and bigger, how can there be so many soldiers, how can there be so many opportunities to be soldiers, so the livelihood of the Eight Banners is also very difficult.

Since the later years of Qianlong, the state has to pay a large amount of relief money every year to help the livelihood of the Eight Banners. Now, Su Shun served as the secretary of the household department and cut off the relief, so that the children of the Eight Banners were used to living a comfortable life, but now even making ends meet has become a problem, and they are looking for Emperor Xianfeng

"Petition". This time, the Han bureaucracy had nothing to do with itself and stood by and watched. Emperor Xianfeng pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored the children of the Eight Banners.

The children of the Eight Banners had no way to control and demolish it, and finally became angry and scolded, and Sushun became the object of condemnation of the whole Manchu nation.

The news came to Su Shun's ears in a roundabout way, and he hated the Manchus because of this, Su Shun himself is a Manchu, he has two mantras on his lips, one often says, we have a lot of flag people, and the other sentence, the Manchus are confused and can't contribute to the country, but they only know how to ask for money - "The Biography of Slaves" According to the records of wild history, Su Shun was gambled as an official, and only received money from Manchu bureaucrats, not Han bureaucrats.

Because Su Shun knew that he had a bad reputation among the Manchus, he simply broke the jar and broke it. Commentary: At this time, the Xianfeng Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, domestic disasters and famines continued, uprisings were surging in various places, and foreigners were constantly stirring up incidents, launching wars of aggression, and demanding huge reparations.

All of this needs a large amount of silver to support, and Emperor Xianfeng, who is already overstretched, is at a loss for this.

So what else will Su Shun do to help Emperor Xianfeng solve this economic problem? Since Emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne, the people have exhausted their wealth, and the country has thought of all kinds of methods, but they can't solve the economic crisis.

Engage in inflation and pass on the economic crisis to the common people. In ancient China, silver or copper, a precious metal, was used as currency, and it was not easy for you to engage in inflation, because the value of the currency itself was very high, but there were also ways.

In March of the third year of Xianfeng, the Qing government started casting

"When ten" big money, what is

What about "being ten" big money? It's a penny, but I'm minting it on the money

The two words "when ten" force the common people to use it at the face value of ten cents. In fact

"When ten" is still a small denomination, there is

"When hundred" and even larger denominations, later the Qing government simply issued paper bills, called

"Treasure Banknote",

The "official ticket", printed on Korean paper, has a blue pattern, and has certain anti-counterfeiting measures. It is used in silver taels or money as a unit, and the words of a few taels or thousands of words are printed on the face of the ticket, and then the common people are required to circulate it in the market.

Since then, we Chinese have used a word to this day, called

"Banknotes". The cost of paper money is lower, and it has become a symbol of value, how much silver is a banknote worth?

It is all up to the government, which does not take into account the laws of the economy, but rather sets the rules according to the state of finances, and as a result, the domestic market is very chaotic.

The Qing government pushes banknotes, it can't be implemented, and the people are not stupid, don't you want to pass on the economic crisis?

The common people have a way to deal with you, what way? Just don't need to. So the implementation of big money banknotes is unfavorable, the Qing government has no choice, and thought of businessmen, before the private silver number issued silver bills, isn't that also paper money?

But the reputation of the people is good, so the Qing government thought about whether the merchants could take advantage of it. The Ministry of Household Merchants has set up a number of official silver accounts in Beijing, for example, Xianfeng has been established in four years

"Wuyu official number", Yusheng, Yuheng, Yuqian, Yutai, Yufeng Wuyu. The Qing government values the strength and credibility of businessmen, and businessmen value the power in the hands of the government, and for businessmen, the benefits of issuing banknotes are very great, not to mention, they can also use the power of the government to engage in some venture capital or something, for example, you are engaged in speculation and trading, hoarding, opening some silver trumpets, etc., so the two sides use each other.

After the official silver account was set up, many drawbacks occurred. The Qing government also knew that there were all kinds of malpractices, such as collusion between officials and businessmen, speculation, and how to calculate these depositors.

The Qing government also wants to investigate, but this case is difficult to investigate, the clue is too chaotic and involves too wide, so the Qing government retreated, Xianfeng eight years of winter, Su Shun was transferred to the household secretary, he decided to gnaw this hard bone, he asked the Xianfeng Emperor to re-file, after more than half a year of investigation, basically found out the case, and then asked the emperor to issue an edict, the household officials, businessmen, guarantors, guys, etc. involved in the case confiscated the family property, arrested and imprisoned, and made people panic in the capital.

Xianfeng years

The "Wuyu Case" is complicated, and it lacks central characters and events, and until the death of Emperor Xianfeng, it was not dealt with, and finally it was closed.

Therefore, Chinese historians have never clarified this issue. If you want to clarify this question, neither my time nor my ability permits, I want to emphasize the courage of Su Shun, this person is really bold.

The first backstage of the "Wuyu Case" is Prince Gong Yixun, of course, the emperor's younger brother can't help but give face, so let the chief eunuch of Prince Gong's Mansion take the blame and arrest him and go to prison.

Yi Xun was not implicated on the surface, but he was disgraced, and Yi Xun hated Yi Xun because of this.

Su Shun was open to Yixun.com, but he was not polite to others. There were two previous heads of the household department who had leadership responsibilities because

Isn't the "Wuyu Official Account" set up by you? Isn't collusion between officials and businessmen collusion with the household department? Therefore, this household secretary is responsible for leadership.

The two Hubu Shangshu, the first of whom is named Bai Ye, has been sent to prison for other things, and it is estimated that his life is difficult to protect; Another Tobe scholar is a university scholar.

Su Shun means to put Weng Xincun to death, or at least to be imprisoned and brought to justice. Because Su Shun proposed to ban opium in the past, Weng vigorously opposed it, and now Su Shun has taken the handle, so he wants to take revenge on him.

Su Shun dared to rectify Weng Xincun, which shows that he is also very bold, Weng Xincun is an extraordinary person, he is a tutor of the royal family, and he has taught Emperor Xianfeng, in addition, those younger brothers of Emperor Xianfeng have been educated by him, and they are the students he taught single-handedly.

Su Shun must bring down Weng Xincun, to what extent? Weng Xincun has been dismissed, but it is still difficult to arrest and put him in prison.

In the time that followed, Weng Xincun had been spending time in fear, worried that he might be caught by Su Shun one day.

Of course, after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Su Shun was purged, and the case was closed. The case lasted for two or three years, and tens of millions of taels of stolen money were discovered, many businessmen went bankrupt, and many high-ranking central officials were punished.

In this way, there will be more enemies in Sushun, but the country has benefited, and the government has also been purged to a certain extent, so it should be affirmed.
