Chapter 15: Shaking the Government and the Opposition

Zhang Boyan couldn't hold back, he shook the five-guan treasure banknote in his hand: "When Emperor Taizu Gao set this rule, the five-guan treasure banknote could be exchanged for five thousand copper coins, but now? Now the five treasure banknotes, even five hundred coins can't be redeemed, these days, His Majesty has issued an order to put an end to silver money, the result...... Do you know that there are ...... in the east and west cities of Nanjing? The value of the treasure money has plummeted, and the monks and lay people have panicked, and they have exchanged the treasure money for real money, and now it is ...... Wuguan treasure banknotes, got on the market, can't even redeem two hundred copper coins, two hundred copper coins, my family is here, you let us drink the northwest wind? ”

Behind him, the officials who came with Zhang Boyan were also in an uproar.

Most of the people who came to receive the money in person were poor officials, and they all pointed to the money to live, before Zhu Di did not issue the will to ban the silver money, Changyingcang still issued real money, and now it is okay, and the treasure money is directly issued.

But the value of the consistent treasure banknote immediately shrank more than ten times when it was put outside, especially in the past few days, the price of the treasure banknote has plummeted, just say that this uncle, a dignified seven-grade official, has become a mere 200 copper coins after the monthly salary is converted, isn't this a joke?

"Is it reasonable to call the Lord to speak?"

"Isn't this going to starve us?"

"We want to give money, not money."

The scribe was also a little panicked, and said with a wry smile: "This ...... This has nothing to do with us, all the princes are ministers, will you not know the will of Your Majesty, the silver money is forbidden, of course, you can only issue treasure money, the household side in and out of the accounts, Zhang Bian Xiu is sixty yuan per month, this ...... It's useless to say anything. ”

Zhang Boyan's face was miserable, he looked depressed, gritted his teeth and glared at the scribe: "This ...... What kind of words is this, we have been studying hard for ten years, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and lives on this 200 copper coins worth of 200 copper coins every month? It's not easy to live in Nanjing, and my family can only eat yellow rice on weekdays, that's it...... I still owe a lot of money and food on credit, and now I ...... You have even intensified your efforts, and you have even used treasure money to perfunctory me, do you want to kill me? ”

The scribe panicked: "Rest the anger, rest the anger." ”

Zhang Boyan dropped the treasure money in his hand, and said sadly: "The minister, even the small people in the market are not as good, the small people can still have food and clothing, why humiliate me like this, the soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, I have endured enough!" ”

Without saying a word, he directly overturned the long table in front of the scribe, and with a bang, this Zhang Boyan shouted: "Do you still want to swallow your anger? ”

This group of impoverished officials suddenly became agitated, and when Chang Yingcang issued treasure money, they realized that this matter could not be endured, and this was to make people starve to death, so they shouted one by one: "Let the main thing here come out." ”

Another humane: "How can the head of the district be the master, and ask the household servant to come out and speak." ”

Some people even shouted: "The traitor is in the court, Your Majesty mistakenly believes the treacherous words, the kings, the Qing monarch ......"

The man obviously wanted to shout at Qingjun's side, but soon he realized that there seemed to be some taboo in saying this, and swallowed it back.

All of a sudden, the chickens and dogs in the warehouse jumped, and the clerks in the warehouse and the officials who received the money fought and were in a mess.

A moment later, a brocade guard quickly flew into the palace, and at noon, he passed a report to the palace.

At this time, in the palace, Zhu Di had already gone to the Huagai Hall to announce that he had met Yao Guangxiao and several ministers.

Zhu Di was in a good mood, and opened his mouth to say: "I heard that there is an elixir in the market, which has a miraculous effect on poisonous sores, these days...... After Zhang Xuan took the medicine, he has gradually recovered, Zhuqing, this is a great thing. “

"Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of life and death, I have been on the battlefield for a long time, and I know best on the battlefield, once there is a traumatic injury, if it cannot be treated, it will inevitably breed poisonous sores...... I think about it now, and I still regret it. If they had had this elixir in the first place, how could they have lost their lives. ”

Yao Guangxiao seemed to be deeply touched and said, "Oh? But I don't know which master has such a technique of resurrecting the dead. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This person is a doll." ”

"Doll?"

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it." Zhu Di seemed to be satisfied with everyone's surprised expressions: "But the facts are right in front of you." I still remember that when Xie Qing's family was young, they were also prodigies. ”

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "The villagers said in vain, so that the minister got this false name, and he was ashamed." ”

Zhu Di said: "It's all the same dolls, some people are like Xie Jin, and some people are like Guo Degan, and some people are ...... But like Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan, by the way, if you count Zhang Anshi, the difference between people is really bigger than that between people and dogs. ”

After Zhu Di sighed, he suddenly remembered something: "But Guo Degan is a good hand at treating diseases and saving people, but he is not careful, and he dares to criticize the country's major policies, after all, he is still too young, and he doesn't know how high the sky is." ”

Xie Jin is such a smart person, and he immediately understood who the young man His Majesty said last time, so he said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

As he was talking, a eunuch from outside hurriedly came in and stumbled: "Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di originally had a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood, but his face changed slightly at this time, and he said calmly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Chang Yingcang...... Something went wrong. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

The Changying Warehouse is one of the most important treasury of the national treasury, and I don't know how much grain has been saved, and the stakes are very high.

Zhu Di suddenly got up: "What happened?" ”

The eunuch said: "Today, hundreds of officials are in charge, but some officials are very dissatisfied, and they actually ...... Unexpectedly, there were groups of people, making a big fuss in Changyingcang, and many people were injured, and Jinyiwei had already mobilized people to suppress it, but the matter was ......"

Zhu Di was furious: "What a bold man, do the ministers of the court still want to rebel?" ”

The eunuchs scrambled to each other.

Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Say!" ”

The eunuch said: "The cause of the incident is because Changyingcang uses treasure money to make official money, and the officials say that they hope that the treasure money will not be able to support the family at all......"

Zhu Di said sharply: "Hundreds of dollars a year, they can't support them, are they greedy to this point?" ”

They said...... Say...... The treasure money is not worth a penny, and the monthly salary, if you go to the market to buy, you can't even support the family, and there is a seven-grade official, who claims that his monthly official salary, can buy firewood, rice, oil and salt, but it is worth only hundreds of yuan. “

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Especially Zhu Di, Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and he quickly understood something: "How is this possible, even if the value of the treasure money has depreciated a little, but the ten treasure banknotes can always buy firewood, rice, oil and salt with consistent money." ”

The eunuch said, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid don't know...... But...... The troublemaker seems to be saying...... said that in the past few days, the price of treasure banknotes has plummeted, and now it is 20 treasure banknotes, and it may not be able to exchange money. Also said...... Since His Majesty's decree, the price of treasure money has fallen day by day, the world has shaken, and the people have panicked......"

Zhu Dihu's body trembled: "Why didn't anyone report me before?" ”

Xie Jin and the others, their faces also turned miserable, obviously they didn't realize that the imperial court had issued a decree, and instead of stabilizing, the treasure money would plummet sharply.

The eunuch said: "In the past few days, after learning about this matter, Jinyi Wei has also sent Tiqi to investigate thoroughly...... Since yesterday, the treasure money has changed from the original ten to seven hundred, and it is ...... today It was even more terrifying, there were only 500 wen left, and the people learned that they could not trade with money, but everyone was hoarding money, and there was no way to stop it. ”

Zhu Di gasped: "What is the reason for this?" ”

"The slave doesn't know."

Zhu Di immediately looked at Xie Jinren and the others: "What about you?" You are all people who are rich and rich, and you are the pillars of the imperial court, come to tell me, why is this so? ”

Xie Jin's face was very ugly, in fact, he didn't know anything, he originally thought that the regulations for prohibiting money could be described as impeccable, but who knew...... The opposite consequence was triggered.

So he hurriedly bowed down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, is someone obstructing it?" ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Make a hindrance from this? Hehe...... Are all the monks and laymen all over the world making obstructions? ”

"This ......"

After all, he has read the sage books for more than ten years, even if he is an official, he is also a noble Hanlin, and his luck is extremely good, and he soon got the favor of the palace.
