Squeak, the door opened, King Qin walked out of the house with a smile, and met the worried Changyu County Lord.

"Brother Wang, are you okay?"

King Qin looked at the county lord of Changyu and smiled: "Oh, Ah weak, I'm fine." ”

When the county lord Changyu heard this, he said: "My husband didn't embarrass my brother. ”

"No, no." King Qin waved his hand and said, Hearing this, the county lord of Changyu said: "Then Brother Wang gave all our family property to my husband?" ”

King Qin heard the words and said: "Yes, but the county is a person of faith, although I want to give all the property of our family to the county zun, I didn't expect the county zun to want it, but I gave my brother a million silver dollars, and a hundred acres of fertile land, and a set of mansions in our Lantian County, only two streets away from your house, from now on, sister, you miss your mother, or your mother misses you, it is much more convenient to visit each other." ”

Hearing this, Lord Changyu said: "It's a good thing that you and your mother and concubine are going to move to Lantian, but Brother Wang, this family wealth has been given away, why are you still so happy?" It's not like you, brother? ”

"Did you make me scareless?"

The county lord of Changyu asked worriedly, and after hearing this, King Qin said: "I am not stupid by the county honor, on the contrary, I am full of gratitude to the county honorable. ”

"Gratitude?"

The county lord of Changyu looked puzzled, after all, it was a lot of money, he gave a lot of money to others, not only did he not hate others, but he was also grateful to others, isn't this a bad brain? But this brother of his own family is not stupid, right?

How so?

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll tell my mother the good news."

King Qin happily ran away, and no longer paid attention to the county lord of Changyu, who looked confused, and followed to look at the door of the study that had not yet closed.

Pushed open the door, and saw Li Chaosheng reviewing the documents there, so he took two steps and walked over.

"Husband."

"Oh, I'm weak, I haven't slept yet."

Li Chaosheng responded, followed by the continued approval of the documents, and the county lord of Changyu responded when he saw this: "Well, husband, let me ask you something?" ”

At this time, Li Chaosheng waved his pen on a document to apply for funds, accurate!

Now that I have money, I don't need to deduct and search for things.

Then he looked up and smiled: "What's the matter, weak?" ”

"Has my brother given all the family wealth to his husband?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng was stunned, and then said apologetically: "Ah weak, you should understand this matter, husband, our Lantian has developed to this point, and we are not allowed to have another existence on the land of Lantian that is not controlled by Lantian, the existence of the Qin Wangfu, it hinders ......"

"Stop, stop, husband, I know what you said, and I also agree with the confiscation of the property of the Qin Palace."

"Oh, you agree, so you just was?"

When the county lord of Changyu heard this, he said: "I just said, how did my brother hand over his property and wealth, and he is still so happy, I don't understand." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, this matter, it's nothing, I left him a million." ”

"That's not going to be the case, is it?"

The county lord of Changyu was still puzzled, and Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "In addition, an official has been arranged for him." ”

"Officer? Have you arranged an official position for my brother Wang? ”

Lord Changyu's eyes widened, and he followed and said: "Husband, my brother Wang has no ability to govern, you can't agree to give him an official position in order to take care of my feelings, if he doesn't do well, wouldn't it be a mistake for the husband's plan?" ”

"No, no, husband, don't do this."

Li Chaosheng saw the nervous appearance of the county lord of Changyu and said: "Hehe, are you also afraid that your brother Wang will not do well, and I will find an excuse to kill him when the time comes?" ”

Lord Changyu shook his head and said: "The husband is not that cruel person, and if my brother had not committed a crime that must be killed, the husband would not have killed him, which makes me sad." ”

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "It's still my county lord who is smart, but you also reflect that your brother is not as unbearable as you imagined, and he will definitely be competent for the official position I gave him." ”

"Oh, what official position?"

Hearing this, the county lord of Changyu asked Li Chaosheng curiously, and Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Lantian Grand Ceremony Officer, in charge of Lantian banquet envoys, presiding over ceremonies, and other related affairs. ”

"Oh, this ......"

The county lord of Changyu's eyes lit up a little when he heard this, other official positions, such as the administrative side, being a lieutenant chief, a middle lieutenant and so on, his elder brother can do a mess, but the grand official is simply a professional counterpart to King Qin.

As a member of the royal family, etiquette is very important, it can be said that you have to learn it from an early age, and Lantian is a civil and military officer, if you want to talk about the ability to govern the country, they may have thrown off King Qin for 108,000 miles, but for etiquette, you will find that King Qin's professionalism in this aspect is much higher than that of these so-called Lantian ministers who were born with mud legs.

Thinking of this, the county lord of Changyu looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Husband, I'm really sorry for you, Brother Wang's matter, you bothered." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng turned his head to look at the county lord of Changyu and said, "Oh, since you know that I have bothered, how is Madam going to repay me?" ”

Hearing this, the county lord of Changyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and then said in a mosquito-like voice: "Husband, it's not good. ”

"What's wrong, your husband hasn't touched you for a month, turn over your sign today."

"That'...... Then Xie Fujun, the slave and maid went back to the house to wait for the husband. ”

The county lord of Changyu said that he turned around and ran, Li Chaosheng shook his head helplessly when he saw it, they are all old husbands and wives, as for making it so exciting?

I can't help but laugh when I think about it, if you want to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, sometimes you have to use some small means.

Turned around and returned to the table, there are still five documents to be approved, who said that it is good to be an emperor, unless you want to be a faint monarch, if you want to be a bright monarch, even if you try your best to delegate power, but there are a lot of things to deal with every day.

Fortunately, these officials in Lantian are well-trained, and they generally have something to say, rather than criticizing a bunch of nonsense every day like the current emperor and the future emperor.

In fact, looking at the excerpts approved by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they can be roughly divided into four categories, one is the recital fold, the other is the greeting fold, and the thanksgiving fold, as well as the congratulatory fold.

In fact, as you can see from the name, except for the first one, which is a more useful excerpt, the rest are a bunch of nonsense excerpts.

The story is the kind that the emperor often reviews in the TV series, such as which minister is impeached, which place needs to be rescued, and what needs to be improved in the imperial court.

It's all written in the fold.

And except for the folds, the rest of the folds are basically her mother's nonsense.

For example, greeting the excerpt, what is this, that is, the minister has nothing to give the emperor an excerpt, what is the content, to sum up, it is hello to the emperor, who am I~

Of course, these ministers will quote scriptures to write this meaning beautifully, and frantically show their writing skills, but if you read it throughout, in the end, it is still those words, hello emperor, who am I......

To put it bluntly, it's mostly a sense of existence.

And the emperor will generally approve three words for such a twist and turn, I know it~

This Ming and Qing emperors are the most, and among the cultural relics preserved in the Palace Museum, there are many such excerpts approved by Qianlong.

The above approval is straightforwardly known, and there is no such combination of classical Chinese as imagined.

This is a greeting fold, in addition to greeting a fold, there is also a thanksgiving fold.

It's also very simple, the emperor appointed you as the governor of a certain place, and you gave you a thanks, to the effect that thanks to the emperor's cultivation, I must have done my best for the emperor......

It's full of nonsense anyway.

The last is the congratulatory fold, this is straightforward, the emperor's birthday, the queen mother's birthday, the New Year's Day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lantern Festival, the ministers in order to express it, on the last congratulatory fold, congratulations to the emperor, about equal to the greeting card.

It's all nonsense anyway, so I often see that the emperor has hundreds of letters to approve every day, of which there may be only a dozen or so letters that really say things, or less, and the rest are nonsense.

And Li Chaosheng doesn't have so many nonsense folds, but when Lantian is in ruins, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with by Li Chaosheng, so in addition to some official business during the day, there are almost a dozen documents of various kinds that he needs to deal with every night.

He hates this, don't we say that we won't work overtime?

It's a pity that 996 good fortune is a luxury for Li Chaosheng, what Li Chaosheng wants to accept is 007 good fortune, how can there be any rest day, he wants to give himself a holiday, he needs to start preparing half a month in advance, deal with the backlog of official duties in advance, and save himself a day off to accompany his daughter-in-law and children.

Continue to approve, although the beauty has prepared everything and is waiting for her in the bedroom, but she can't be greedy for women, official business is important, thinking that Li Chaosheng will start to correct the documents here.

It's just that the speed is significantly faster.

……

Lantian Xiaogongzi full moon wine is in a uproar, the happiest is Lantian Finance, the Minister of Finance is happy at this time, looking at the boxes of silver moved into the Ministry of Finance, that is called a happy.

The silver will be sent to the mint for re-casting as soon as possible, and the silver will be exchanged for some other metals to make the unique Lantian silver coin, also known as the Lantian silver dollar.

The purchasing power of this silver dollar is the same as that of one or two pieces of silver, but the silver content in it is only about eight coins, and the rest is other metals.

However, over the years, with the development of Lantian getting better and better, the reputation has become better and better, and the Lantian silver dollar has become more and more recognized, especially with the existence of Lantian Bank, this silver dollar has been recognized by the people of Lantian.

Why?

Because of the silver dollar issued by Lantian, you can trade according to the normal silver tael in the people, one silver dollar is equal to one tael of silver, and you can go to the bank with the silver dollar, and when you get to the bank, you can directly exchange the silver dollar for one tael of silver.

This gives the people a high degree of trust, and when Lantian collects taxes, they can also use this silver dollar to pay taxes, and the Lantian government also recognizes it.

With these two items, the Lantian silver dollar has a large market in the private sector, and now it can basically be used as a normal currency, completing the first step of the government's credit paving, and also allowing the Lantian government to gradually take back the right to print money from the hands of the people.

Some people will ask when they see this, does the Ming government not have the right to print money?

The answer is yes, no, the Ming government does not have the right to print money, and cannot manipulate the market by printing money, and this right is handed over to the people by the Ming government itself.

Why did the Ming Dynasty die, some people say it was a slave builder, some people say it was a peasant uprising, some people say it was the gentry who annexed the land, all right, but they are not comprehensive, in fact, in the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty died in financial collapse.

That's right, in the era of the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was caused by the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances, officialdom, the gentry colluded with officials to annex land, and successfully fooled Chongzhen not to collect commercial taxes, and at the same time, natural disasters continued, Jiannu was detained, and the vassal kings continued to suck the blood of the Ming Dynasty's finances, resulting in the collapse of the entire Ming Dynasty's finances.

The gentry colluded to annex the land, and the officials deceived Chongzhen, forcing Chongzhen not to collect commercial taxes, and the result was a sharp decline in the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiannu detained the customs, and the Ming Dynasty needed to train the army and build a defense line, which needed money.

The officials and businessmen did not give money, so they could only collect it from the common people, which forced a group of yeoman farmers to sell their fields and pay taxes.

What would happen if Daming had the right to mint money?

That's very simple, just release the water directly, step up the printing of money, and just pass this difficulty.

But Daming doesn't have the right to mint money.

So where did the minting rights go?

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was the right to mint money, and Zhu Yuanzhang once engaged in the Ming treasure banknote, but it was precisely because of the Ming treasure banknote that the entire Ming Dynasty lost the right to mint money for more than 270 years.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention is correct, the silver is heavy and heavy and it is very inconvenient to pick up, it is better to use treasure banknotes, which are easy to carry, but Zhu Yuanzhang does not know whether he does not understand the economy at all, or deliberately holds back the bad, and issues treasure banknotes, but there is no reserve, let alone an anti-exchange agency like a bank.

In other words, silver can be exchanged for treasure money, but treasure money cannot be exchanged for silver.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not control it, and frantically printed and distributed treasure money, which resulted in the treasure banknote becoming Zimbabwean currency, and a stack of treasure banknotes could not buy a baked cake among the people.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulated that when the people pay taxes, they can only use silver and copper coins, but not treasure money, isn't this an obvious robbery.

No matter how stupid the people are, they reacted, this pure play, and regarded us as a big injustice, so the common people directly resisted the treasure banknote and resumed the use of the most primitive silver as currency again.

Zhu Yuanzhang lost the country's credit, and you played so big since the founding of the country, causing the people to no longer believe in the banknotes printed by any country, or real silver, so the entire Ming Dynasty used silver as the monetary unit.

The final result is that the country can not mint coinage, and if you want to increase the amount of silver, you can only rely on the silver mountain to produce silver, and the output of the silver mountain is limited, which leads to the whole country can not play the monetary economy, so that the country loses its control of the market, and finally the Ming Dynasty died of bankruptcy.

Therefore, Lantian is constantly erecting the monetary authority of Lantian, first replacing silver with silver coins, and then replacing silver coins with paper money, and when paper money occupies a major circulation position in the market, Lantian's coinage right will return, and Li Chaosheng can control the market with this.
