Zhou Xian waved his hand and helped Huang Daozhou to take a seat: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, I sincerely appreciate the two of you, and I hope the two of you can sit with me and discuss politics." ”

found that Huang Daozhou and Wang Hui still contradicted.

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "The crisis of the imperial court coexists, I am in charge of the country, and I should reduce talents without sticking to one pattern." ”

"Today's courtesy, the two of you are worth it."

The boss in charge spoke, Huang Daozhou and Wang Hui glanced at each other, and had to sit down nervously.

Wang Zheng was sent by Emperor Chongzhen to Henan to assist Sun Chuanting.

This time, Zhou Xian arranged for him to come back, and he also had an important task to arrange for him.

At the same time, I also want to understand the situation in Henan.

"Wang Aiqing, tell me about the form in Henan."

"Returning to the horse master, now the army entrenched in Henan has been declining, and the 300,000 people who were ordered by the thieves before, with the benevolence of the horse master and the relief of food, hundreds of people who revolted every day turn back to the shore."

"Coupled with General Sunda's troops, the momentum of the army has been completely curbed in the area of Xinxiang, Henan."

"On the contrary, it is the men and horses of our court, under the leadership of General Sun, who are guarding the front line of Tongguan, and constantly using troops to compress the activity space of the thief Li Zicheng."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the master of the horse is widely benevolent, and many local people heard that the imperial court issued a batch of fertile land and gave them tax exemptions, so they put down their weapons and surrendered to the imperial court."

"Now the people of the Central Plains are all saying that the horse master is sage."

"Good, good." Zhou Xian bowed slightly.

During this time, he had been worried about the situation of the army in Henan.

I was afraid that if I sent someone to ask questions, it would put pressure on Sun Chuanting.

So I have endured it, and I can only judge one or two through the information passed back by Sun Chuanting.

As for Sun Chuanting, he is relatively conservative.

There is no certainty of victory, and there is never a full story.

This time, it was Wang Hui who explained the situation over there, and Zhou Xian was also greatly relieved.

Next, Zhou Xian is still concerned about the land reform decree issued by himself.

He asked with a concerned face: "Now that some people have good land, is there a situation where there are no seeds?" ”

"There are such cases, but the lower officials have already greeted the Department of Agriculture and sent a letter to the newly built Ministry of Agriculture of the imperial court."

"Master Shangshu is sympathetic to the people, and has begun to distribute seeds to Shaanxi and Henan."

"Well, is it all free?"

"It's free." Wang Zheng nodded emotionally.

Hearing such an answer, Zhou Xian was even more relieved.

It seems that the policy of abolishing the Ministry of Rites and forming the Ministry of Agriculture has been successful.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Song Yingxing and Song Shangshu's dedication.

Zhou Xiandao: "If farmers have good land and seeds, then they can farm. ”

"Everyone has enough food and clothing, and Li Zicheng will naturally not become any climate."

"But how do you ensure that farmers can farm without any worries? This is the problem to consider, after all, crops have to grow in the ground, and it takes time to turn from seedlings to food. ”

"Ensuring a healthy and safe grain harvest cycle for farmers is a problem that I have come to you to solve this time."

Hearing this, Huang Daozhou looked stunned.

Wang Hui frowned and said: "Master Ma, farmers want to ensure orderly work, in fact, it is very simple, the main thing is the lack of money and the lack of food that can satisfy the stomach. ”

"But these two things are exactly what our dynasty is most lacking, so it is really difficult to do it."

"It's okay, the people don't have money, the court can give it to them."

"If the people have no food, the court can also give it to them."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the two ministers were stunned.

Zhou Xian said: "I asked Xu Rongbing and Song Yingxing to join forces with Zhou Guangkai to create a new silver coin of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"And the bad money case has been thoroughly investigated."

"Now the new silver is ready to go on the market."

"The imperial court can take advantage of this opportunity to give the people a discount and a silver tael."

Zhou Xian's words are here.

Wang Hui and Huang Daozhou's expressions were fierce, and they obviously saw a new continent.

Huang Daozhou's eyes were mixed with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Chitose, go on." ”

Zhou Xian smiled, and he also saw the feasibility of the plan he had conceived from the changes in Huang Daozhou's expression.

"Now that I have a new currency, I plan to set up a currency administration."

"Specially issued silver coins to coordinate the economy of the court."

The reason why Zhou Xian wanted to invite Huang Daozhou back was to make him the supreme officer of the Currency Department.

Xu Rongbing and Song Yingxing only had in-depth research on the anti-counterfeiting of printed silver coins.

But when it comes to the circulation and arrangement of money, it has to be someone like Huang Daozhou.

So Zhou Xian continued: "I will ask the Currency Administration Department to come up with a set of policies that are beneficial to the people, and the Currency Administration Department will issue silver taels to the people,"

"Once there is grain, or a tael of silver, the people use it for a year and pay five cents."

"After one year, the principal and interest will be recovered, and the people will be able to farm normally the next year."

Zhou Xian stated his thoughts.

After Huang Daozhou listened to Wang Zheng.

it!

The horse master is extremely smart!

This money, how is it actually so tinkered?!

This time, Huang Daozhou came to Beijing from the south.

Originally, he also held back some opinions along the way, and wanted to point to Sang scolding Huai, the Chongzhen Emperor who listened to Zen in Mount Tai.

But after actually meeting, he completely forgot about Emperor Chongzhen's indifference to him over the years.

The whole person was completely attracted by Zhou Xian's personality charm.

What is there to complain about!

What's the complaint?

directly decided in my heart that I was going to serve today's horse master.

In an instant, Huang Daozhou's eyes lit up.

"Chitose is extremely smart, talented and thoughtful, the old minister admires, admires!"

"Huang Aiqing, don't stand up, sit down and say."

Zhou Xian helped Zodiac Zhou to sit down.

Tears of gratitude rolled down the old cheeks of Huang Daozhou.

Look at this colt again.

How gentle is it to talk to an old-timer who has no official status?

Talking about the people who are being displaced in the disaster of the Ming Dynasty, how much care they have.

This is not a Shura at all.

It's not the so-called Tai Sui.

It's not a tyrant that the officials in the south of the Ming Dynasty say.

The young and promising horse master in front of him is clearly the master of the world who can't be found with a lantern!

In Zhou Xian's view, Huang Daozhou came to Beijing to manage the Currency Department.

In the future, the tax issues of the Ming Dynasty will be managed by Yan Taiqing, and the overall monetary planning will be handed over to Huang Daozhou.

Huang Daozhou said: "Master Horse, the little people are suspicious. ”

Huang Aiqing said bluntly.

"Horse, your monetary policy is indeed exquisite, but there is a little loophole in it."

"Oh?" Zhou Xian frowned slightly and asked, "What loophole?" ”

"What if the Department of Currency Administration gives the silver taels to the people, and some of the people do not repay the interest or the principal at that time?"
