Chapter 856: Choosing a Teacher for the Prince
Land reform, military reform, and business should be in full swing!
When Zhengde was ten years old, at the mention of the emperor, the household department established Daming Bank. [with _ dream]ā
With silver as the currency standard, it began to jointly issue banknotes with the top ten commercial banks in Beijing.
In the past, the government would print money indiscriminately when issuing banknotes, which would make the people miserable, so in the end, the common people would choose silver as the currency, and it was not to mint money, or to rent catties and cars, in order to prevent being cheated by the imperial court.
Therefore, the issuance of banknotes at the beginning encountered some obstacles.
However, with the participation of the ten major trading houses, paper money can be freely exchanged with silver, and the reputation of private capital is much better than that of the imperial court.
So gradually, paper money began to be accepted.
In this way, the Ministry of Punishment issued a monetary statute.
It is forbidden for any person or organization to print money indiscriminately, and the exchange rate with the silver price is not allowed to be changed.
This law was jointly written by Li Zhao and the people of the Criminal Department.
Refer to Newton's gold standard, because Newton determined the exchange quota between gold coins and currency, and from then on, the financial system of the British Empire began to have dinner, so that the maritime nation could become the hegemon of the world.
Again, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and a good financial system is the foundation for a country to be invincible.
Therefore, the legislation will impose quite severe penalties on those who undermine monetary policy.
The shareholders of the top ten comptoirs had another argument that if anyone destroyed the financial currency, even if it was a member of the government, they had the right to take back all the shares of the bank, and the imperial court would have to pay compensation.
They can start anew and use their reserves to take back the right to issue and manage the currency....
In short, it is no longer a monopoly, private capital seeks profits, so it attaches more importance to credit, they have more power, and the monetary policy is more stable.
With the circulation of paper money and the establishment of banks, a large amount of silver from the sea is still flowing in, and three years later, the underground silver in the household has reached hundreds of millions of taels.
These are all said to be used as national financial reserves, which are used in case of emergency.
In short, the currency quickly stabilized, paper money was more convenient to carry and circulate, so transactions became more frequent, commercial activities more and more dominated people's lives, and the richer the people, the more prosperous the country.
Because in terms of tax reform, military reform, and peace and business, the cabinet is becoming more and more speechless.
But the cabinet is still the administrative center of the dynasty, so orders are issued from here, so that the country can be run, and the cabinet people are not willing to be set aside.
So they set their goal on the cultivation of the prince.
The emperor has only one wife, no other women, and the queen has only given birth to one child, that is, the emperor has only one child until now.
The prince Yang Zaiyuan, that is, Little October, is now six years old.
It's time for enlightenment.
In the past four or five years, Yang Tinghe has not changed much except for being thinner and having a few more pleats, but he still has a square face, dark hair and beard, and he is not very old.
Wang Qiong is much older, he is obviously two years younger than Yang Tinghe.
However, this does not affect Yang Tinghe's position in Wang Qiong's heart, for Yang Tinghe, Wang Qiong still wants to respect him as before.
It was the beginning of spring.
Everything recovered, but the wind was still so strong.
From the cabinet to the south, they are going to the government.
The two of them are side by side, but Wang Qiong will always slow down a little and not exceed the first assistant.
Yang Tinghe remembered the matter of everyone's public opinion in the court this morning, his face darkened suddenly, and he turned back slightly and said: "Lord Wang, you thought of the candidate in advance, why didn't you discuss it with the old man, why did the old man become the last person to know?" ”
In the past, the prince's trial lectures were all selected from the Hanlin Academy.
Now three years have passed, and another batch of new Hanlin has entered the Hanlin Academy, but Wang Qiong and Yang Tinghe both believe that their level is not enough.
Yang Tinghe Zhongyi is an old Hanlin who has been assigned to the Ministry of Rites, that person is called Qin Shumin, has a good degree, is honest, and has no other hobbies except reading.
The rest of the cabinet is not optimistic about Qin Min, because the imperial examinations are all adding subjects, and the proportion of mathematics in the nine palaces is getting heavier and heavier, this is a message, and the emperor is not optimistic about those old scholars.
Everyone thinks that the emperor prefers young people, such as Yang Shen, Song Hanpei, or the queen's cousin Han Che.
Aren't all these people more suitable than Qin Shumin?
But because the proportion has increased, most people are still the successors of science, how can they let their knowledge lag behind others?
So the two sides are arguing.
The emperor never gave the right words, and then Wang Qiong suddenly proposed another person, and the emperor was tempted.
This person is Wang Shouren, the left of the Imperial Palace.
Now he is the governor of Nan, Jiangxi, Ting, Zhang and other places.
Because of the swarming of thieves in the southern central zone. Xie Zhishan occupied Hengshui, Zuoxi, and Tonggang, and Chi Zhongrong occupied Huntoutoutou, each claiming the king, echoing with Chen Yuneng of Dayu, Gao Kuaima of Lechang, and Gong Fuquan of Chenzhou, and captured and plundered various prefectures and counties.
And the thieves Zhan Shifu and others in Damoshan, Fujian, raised troops again. The former governor, Vincento, fell ill and left his post. Xie Zhishan united with the thieves of Lechang to seize Dayu, attacked Nankang and Ganzhou, and the chief of Ganxian County was killed in battle.
Shouren has now pacified them all.
But his official position was too small, so he went to the court and gave him a bigger official position, Wang Qiong played, gave Wang Shouren a banner, and he could be engaged in it cheaply.
Now that the battle has been fought, Wang Shouren is teaching in the local area and educating the people.
His thinking is different from the science that everyone is learning now, and it is a more practical mind that breaks through the shackles of science.
It is well-known and highly admired by students.
Even in the capital, some people have heard of Wang Shouren's name.
And Wang Shouren was precisely pulled up by Wang Qiong.
Now that the prince is looking for a teacher, Wang Shouren is not the best candidate.
But Yang Tinghe didn't like Wang Shouren.
Because Yang Tinghe doesn't like Wang Qiong.
Wang Qiong is Yang Tinghe's subordinate, but he is against Yang Tinghe everywhere, in the process of attacking the family, especially the imprisonment of Xu Jie, Yang Tinghe did not get any benefits, but Wang Qiong got involved with the Xu family.
Yang Tinghe, in general, has received black money from King Ning, and he also likes to go against Yang Houzhao, but others are still very diligent.
Conscientiously and conscientiously let all the administrative units of the imperial court be able to operate.
There is no merit and hard work, otherwise the emperor would not have been able to keep him until now.
But he was very petty.
Because he was angry with Wang Qiong, he didn't like all Wang Shouren.
The most important thing is that he is the inheritor of authentic science, what kind of crooked ways of mind should he listen to?
Let Wang Shouren give a lecture to the prince, if there is no mistake in this October, it will be the future emperor, the little emperor has not learned the mind and is going farther and farther on the road of deviance, and then let the prince learn the mind, my God!
Do you still have the status of science?
