Chapter 113: Returning the Government to the People
"Or if people encounter natural disasters and there is no harvest, what should they do? Or, if ordinary people are accidentally killed in the war, what should be done? ”
Zhou Xianxin said, it is really the zodiac Zhou.
The vision of the problem is always so sharp to the point.
Such courtiers are specially here to consolidate the political situation of the court and to give advice to the imperial power.
Fill in the gaps.
Zhou Xian said lightly: "If you encounter a natural disaster, it is an irresistible factor, the people are not wrong, and the imperial court can only admit that it is a loss." We will continue to provide support to the people in the coming year. If it is the first case, if someone deliberately does not pay the interest and deliberately does not return the principal, then let the Department of Currency Administration take back the land allocated to them by the imperial court, and then hand it over to someone who really abides by the rules to take care of it. ”
As soon as this statement came out.
Zodiac Zhou shook violently.
Wonderful!
Again, this is a brilliant idea!
Huang Daozhou's cheeks twitched, and his expression was moved: "Listening to the words of the horse today, the old man only feels that he has lived in the belly of a dog in this life." ”
Zodiac Zhou looked ashamed.
He felt that he was just finding faults, but he couldn't solve the problem.
"Huang Aiqing."
"The grass people are here."
"From now on, you can go to the Department of Currency Administration to take office, and at that time, Yan Taiqing will work with you to manage the finances and taxes of the Ming Dynasty."
"The fertile land and grain subsidies given to the people should be done in accordance with the strategy of the people."
"In addition, the newly minted currency and official silver of the imperial court, the Mint Division will connect with you."
"From now on, you are the left servant of the household department, do a good job, you are one of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhou Xian never goes around in circles when it comes to employing people.
Give the officials what they want directly.
In exchange for the results you want.
At this time, Huang Daozhou thought that he had heard the wrong words, and stood in the hall for a long time, and after a while, he looked excited: "Old minister...... The old minister received the order, and the old minister's liver and brain were not enough to repay the kindness of the horse master. ”
Zodiac Zhou old tears.
He really thought about it, he had just come to this familiar hall, and he had just come to this familiar court.
The master of the horse gave him such a big responsibility.
At the same time, Wang Zheng said: "Master Ma, if the Currency Administration Department wants to implement it, I am afraid it will have to bloom everywhere, otherwise it will only be in Beijing City, and it may be difficult to cover the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Very good!
That's a good suggestion.
This is also the framework of the chain bank in history.
Wang Hui can think of this, which is enough to prove that he is attentive.
And since Zhou Xian called them, he had already thought of the overall plan.
Zhou Xian nodded and said: "The construction of the Currency Administration Department in the territory of Daming is the first thing for the imperial court, and it is also an urgent matter. ”
"The latest official silver has begun to be hoarded, and the anti-counterfeiting jointly created by Song Yingxing and Xu Rongbing is also extremely superb, and there will be no inferior silver money on the market. But such a big matter is related to the country's capital, and the turmoil of the inferior silver case has not completely subsided, and many people still have inferior silver in their hands. Therefore, the Department of Currency Administration cannot bloom everywhere in a period of time, and can only want to carry out pilot projects. ”
"The specific pilot place is set in Lianghuai."
The reason why Zhou Xian wanted to put the Department of Currency Administration in Lianghuai took the lead in implementing it.
That is to make those rich people in the South accept it in advance.
As long as they accept it, the currency will be applied to the market in large quantities, and the end consumers will naturally be able to accept it.
It's like a country printing new banknotes.
The first to use it must be the wealthy.
If you suddenly give a poor person a new 100 yuan bill.
He didn't dare to accept it in the first place.
All in all, the Currency Administration Department was the first virtuous cycle monetary system of the Ming Dynasty.
What was circulated by the imperial court was silver in vain, and what the common people got was the most basic benefits.
Next, there is a link to continue to replace the old silver in the hands of farmers.
This link can expose many core problems.
Imagine the officials led by the Donglin Party hoarding moldy silver at home.
With the birth of the Department of Currency Administration, the new version of the silver two is such a tough regulation.
Naturally, the money in their hands gradually lost its effectiveness.
So what is the use of the money they are greedy for?
Want to trade?
OK!
Who wants to show their true worth to themselves?
Therefore, the new policy of the Currency Department is not only about the distribution of land to the common people.
There is also the fight against corruption.
and the redistribution of wealth.
Zhou Xian has been planning this matter for a long time.
The reason why it is now is because the external environment is now stabilizing.
In addition, the momentum of Henan's side of the army has also been suppressed.
Therefore, the entire Ming Dynasty is more suitable for both inside and outside.
But why not put off doing it for a few years?
Can't drag it out!
The last years of the Ming Dynasty in history were an era when the whole nation lost faith and hope.
It is not only man-made disasters that have dampened their self-confidence, but also natural disasters.
In these few times of using troops against the north, Zhou Xian used the decree of the imperial court to fight toughly!
If there is a referendum.
No one in the Ming Dynasty would want to.
Because when it really involves individuals, even whether they can eat food tomorrow is a fatal problem.
"The rest of the things may be much easier, I hope to see those people on the edge of poverty can get good land, and the court will give them silver taels, so that they can farm with peace of mind."
"As for the harvest of the people, that is the matter of Song Yingxing of the Ministry of Agriculture, what I want to do is to put talents in the right position and let all behaviors be carried out in a scientific way."
"In the whole matter, if there is any trouble, you can mention it to me directly."
"The Ming Dynasty minted a new currency, and money is not a problem."
"All I want is the result, that is, the people of the Ming Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing, have land to grow, food to eat, clothes to wear, respect for the elderly, and love for children."
"The lower official respectfully obeys the instructions of the master of the horse!"
"Okay, Wang Aiqing, Song Shangshu heard that you came to Beijing City, and he is already eager to meet you to greet him, you can go to him now, and your future office yamen will be located in the Ministry of Agriculture."
"Minister, thank you, Chitose!"
"Alright, let's go."
Zhou Xian waved his hand, Wang Hui bowed and bowed, and slowly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.
Now only Zhou Xian, Hou Lianhui and Zodiac Zhou are left in the palace.
"Huang Aiqing, whether the currency of the dynasty can circulate smoothly, and whether the people of the Ming Dynasty can have no worries about food and clothing, depends on you."
"I believe that the situation of the imperial court over the years, you should be clear."
"I hate those traitors and corrupt people to the core."
Huang Daozhou stood up, bowed to Zhou Xian, and said: "Donkey, the reason why my dynasty has fallen to today is also the accumulation of perennial evils. ”
