In Zhu Youxiao's vision, the "Pingliao Debt" will be divided into four denominations: one yuan, ten yuan, one hundred yuan, and one thousand yuan, covering all the people of the Ming Dynasty from ordinary people to powerful and wealthy people.

Three-year term with an interest rate of 2% per annum and a total issuance amount of six million. This is planned, and we also have to listen to the opinions of Bi Ziyan and Wu Dazhang.

Since it is named "Pingliao Bond", after the success of Pingliao, those who hold bonds of more than 100 yuan will be able to rent land in Liaodong for cultivation and enjoy the preferential treatment of the minimum tax.

That's right, Zhu Youxiao is ready to gradually turn "because of grain" into a fixed state policy.

It is still the historical method, where all peasant households who pay taxes of less than 10 yuan are not subject to additional taxes, while wealthy households who pay taxes of more than 10 yuan are levied to varying degrees according to the amount of property.

This standard is higher than the historical five taels, and can cover more people; And the levy on the rich is not a dry fish, at least Zhu Youxiao thinks it is acceptable.

But the official gentry with fat brains will definitely feel the pain in the flesh, not to mention the levy, even if it is levied as usual, they still find a way to sneak it out!

Well, since you are so greedy for money, then let you all go to develop the frontier land with empty hands and money.

If the emperor had some scruples before, he had to find an excuse to deal with the gentry and bureaucracy; Now he simply doesn't pretend, the court formulates and promulgates policies, whoever dares to violate it, who dares not to abide by it, then he will not be polite to whom.

I have such a powerful army, even Jiannu can defeat it, and I can't cure you greedy and stupid bastards?

And the ideas derived from the issuance of "Pingliao bonds" are not limited to these. If the issuance of the "Pingliao Bonds" goes smoothly, Zhu Youxiao feels that he can let them circulate in the market.

Perhaps not all merchants and everyone are willing to accept "Pingliao bonds", after all, it is not a formal currency.

However, it cannot be ruled out that because of the successive victories in the Pingliao War, the "Pingliao Bonds" have risen and become relatively popular bonds.

Of course, the imperial court and banks can also contribute to the trouble. Opening a bond exchange and a reverse repo by a bank are all methods that can be tried.

The purpose is simple: to turn paper bonds into credit money, and to lay the foundation for the issuance and smooth circulation of paper money.

Zhu Youxiao didn't write all his thoughts on the secret letter, Lao Bi and Lao Wu didn't need to know too much, at least don't confuse their thinking in a short time.

Boom! Before the emperor could finish writing the end, his thoughts were disturbed by a loud noise, and his eyes widened, and he looked at it with displeasure.

In fact, the voice was not loud, but the emperor was too focused on the financial career of the Ming Dynasty, so he was noisy and unhappy.

Fan Xiaohui accidentally fell asleep, her head touched the screen next to her, and as soon as she woke up, she saw the emperor looking over with some anger.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die." In Fan Xiaohui's impression, she had never seen the emperor like this, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Hum! Zhu Youxiao expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart in a heavy nasal voice, so frightened that Fan Xiaohui knelt on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Stinky girl, you brought this on yourself. I was looking for a reason to "punish" you, but you sent it to the door yourself.

Zhu Youxiao sorted out his thoughts, finished writing and sealing the secret letter, and then stood up and walked down the throne, and when he passed by Fan Xiaohui's side, he commanded in a deep voice: "Come with me." ”

Fan Xiaohui got up from the ground, hung her head and followed the emperor, feeling uneasy in her heart, not knowing how the emperor was going to punish herself.

Is it the pestle on you, or the pestle on you?

The Emperor walked ahead, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a wicked smile.

……………………

From the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Jianju Nurhachi swore to betray the Ming Dynasty in Xingjing, and the Liaodong War continued to come with bad news, so that the Ming Dynasty has always been shrouded in a layer of clouds.

But for the people who are not Liaodong, it is still a distant thing, except for the increase in taxes, it is not related to their own interests.

Even if Jianlu occupied the whole of Liaodong, no one would have thought that Jianlu, who had a population of only a few hundred thousand, would sweep the world and end the Han dynasty that had been established for hundreds of years.

No one thought that the war decades later would not spare anyone, and no one could escape the sword light and blood shadow, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood. Those who don't live to that time are another matter.

Because of this, the people of the North do not feel the war strongly, let alone the South.

Therefore, many people do not understand the huge investment in the war in Liaodong and the urgency of the emperor to level Liao, but they only care about whether their own interests are damaged.

But the emperor didn't care about this, he only cared about the safety of the country. Even, for the ordinary people, there is more concern than the gentry.

This is very different from the emperors in history, not relying on nobles, not relying on scholars, is this the true meaning of ruling the world since ancient times?

But no matter how many complaints there were, and how many tandem boycotts, under the supreme imperial power, under the increasingly strict factory guards, they were all crushed.

The factory guards are rampant, the inner court is favored, and the country is in chaos......

Some people are cursing viciously, but the power of the Ming Dynasty has already shown signs of revival; The wars in eastern and southwestern Liaodong have also been reported frequently, and victory can be expected.

Curses or resentments can only be hidden in the dark, but the "Daming Forum" is the only mouthpiece that can be made public, and it is in the hands of the emperor.

The articles published from time to time expose and refute those sanctimonious gentry, profiteers and tyrants who are greedy for money and forget their righteousness, and powerful and bureaucrats who are greedy and lawless.

Moreover, the emperor mercilessly deposed and exiled the "righteous gentleman" who was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, usually generous speeches, but had no plan in the face of problems, and the court was quiet and the political affairs were smooth.

This is really a slap in the face, without those bureaucrats who think they are indispensable, the situation of "all the people are flourishing" has ended, the state affairs have a tendency to flourish, and the battlefield of Liaodong, which has been defeated repeatedly, is also completely reversed, and the destruction of slaves has also seen the light of day.

I really think I can't do it without you, I really take myself seriously? Bullshit!

See, government affairs are still running smoothly than before; Those who want to be officials are still studying hard in the cold window, and those who are selected by the officials are still in line.

For the common people, these changes are still not their own business, and they are hanging high. But for the bureaucrats, gentry, students and other privileged classes, it was a frustrating change that had to be accepted.

With the continuous expansion of the "imperial party", there are fewer and fewer people who speak for the frustrated, and even sympathizers are rare.

And those who dare to blow up the assassination are either exiled by raiding their homes or beheaded, and the opposition is getting weaker and weaker, and no one dares to resist, let alone make any waves.

The emperor can also feel this, and there are fewer and fewer people who are exiled from his family, but he has been cut off from a way to make money.

There are advantages and disadvantages, Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: I am much more capable than Lao Wei, and it has only been about two years since I settled the civil official group, and I have not been wronged.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also had to admit that after defeating a civilian-bureaucratic clique, he fostered another bureaucratic force. Who let so many people who want to be officials gather around me happily.

It's just that the emerging bureaucratic forces listen to the emperor, and they do whatever the emperor says.

Although there are Liu Lishun and others who loyally serve the imperial court, and Ni Wenhuan and others who are speculative, the results are not much different.

From Zhu Youxiao's point of view, those who can implement their own policies have already achieved their goals, so what do those bureaucrats do?

Is it to glorify the ancestors, or to leave a name in history, or to increase the official and promote the knighthood, Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to guess. Just do a good job as a department manager, and Chairman Zhu will naturally make your dreams come true.

It can be said that only by continuously strengthening the executive power can Zhu Youxiao's various policies be implemented and can the Ming Dynasty be truly revitalized.

In addition to the execution of officials, the performance of several major chambers of commerce also satisfied Zhu Youxiao.

While making money, the maritime merchants used shipping to give the imperial court a lot of help. A large part of the transportation of grain, ammunition and materials in Liaodong was completed by the Maritime General Association.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce actively carried out the emperor's instructions, relying on the post roads and post stations of the Ming Dynasty in the north and the south, vigorously building logistics and warehousing facilities, and trying to carry out the business of private mail.

Passing books and delivering letters, in ancient times, for ordinary people, they could only ask acquaintances to carry them along the way. No one is sure of the time, and it is very difficult to determine whether it can be delivered.

Zhu Youxiao, through an administrative order, asked major cities to name streets and determine address name plates, which laid the foundation and created conditions for the development of private mail.

Although this is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, which country in the world is currently vigorously building a warehousing, logistics, transportation and postal system?

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce was the first to act, and Wu Dazhang also worked hard. The northern ones should be built quickly, and the transformation of the post station will benefit many people.

also includes the kid surnamed Li who destroyed the Ming Dynasty in history. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile intriguingly.

.................................. divider..........................................

"Fake, fake news, fabricated ......," Nurhachi's angry voice spread far and wide, and maybe anyone on the street outside could hear it.

A brand new "Daming Forum" has been crumpled and torn, thrown on the ground, and kicked away by the angry old slave.

It's a pity that the old slave has no culture and can't categorically refute "fake newspapers, fake news".

Li Yongfang was deposed, but Jiannu's intelligence system was still operating. Now, even if the newspaper is not smuggled back from Zhangjiakou, the headquarters of southern Liaoning and Dongjiang will send people to infiltrate and distribute it.

is no longer the banner owner, and Huang Taiji, who stayed in Shenyang as a political councillor, has already read this newspaper and knows the reason why his father Khan is angry.

Getting the news so quickly, he also suspected that it was deliberately done by Ming Ting. Well, not a suspicion, almost certainly is.

The newspaper vividly described Amin and other captives who were taken to the capital of Daming, warmly treated with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and shouted for mercy on the execution ground, weak and cowardly.

Actually, this can't be considered news, but it should be. The words, the plot, are fascinating. The ugliness of Amin and others is shown in front of readers like a movie.

Even, there were Jiannu captives who scolded Nurhachi and resented the old slaves for harming them, so they had such a miserable end.

"Drink his blood and eat his flesh, and I don't understand the hatred in my heart, so I go down to the underworld to wait for the old slave, and let him taste the torture of hell......"

Could this have been shouted by Amin? Ghosts don't believe it, and Nurhachi scolds "fake, fake", which is also very correct.

can know that it is fake, but he is so angry that he almost bursts his blood vessels, which is also normal. It's like hearing slander and rumors, and you will be so angry that your eyes will be full of gold stars and your heart will flutter.

Nurhachi roared wildly before he sat down in his chair, snorting and panting like a mad cow.

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji bowed down and said: "This is a rumor spread by the Ming Court, deliberately provoking us. Although Amin and the others were unfortunately captured, how could my Jurchen warriors be so unbearable? ”

Nurhachi snorted, seemed to lose a little breath, maybe he was tired of calling, reached out and stroked his forehead, and said slowly after a while: "Radical generals, Ben Khan will not be fooled." It was a scorching summer, and it was not a good opportunity for our army to launch an operation. ”

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and reminded euphemistically: "According to intelligence, the enemy in the Dongjiang River has signs of attacking Jianzhouwei. The twelfth brother and Du Du led the army to garrison, but they still had to be told to be careful. ”

Nurhachi glanced up at Huang Taiji, with a little suspicion in his eyes, but he still nodded.

Huang Taiji sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that his father Khan might be suspecting that he had other plans, and wanted to take back the position of the owner of the white flag.

"Yehebu didn't kill him?" Nurhachi suddenly pointed to the broken newspaper on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Is it written on it, it was all sent to Zhenjiang, and it was led by that Nala Zhongming." ”

Huang Taiji bowed down and replied: "This is a small trick to pick and divide, and Father Khan will definitely not believe it." ”

Nurhachi lowered his eyes, but his heart was not so sure. When he attacked Yehebu, he promised Buyangu that he would surrender and not kill.

However, after the Buyangu League surrendered, Nurhachi, in order to prevent the resurgence of Yehebu, broke his promise and killed Buyangu, and moved Yehe's civilians to Jianzhou, naturalized and made flags, and became his own subjects.

Speaking of this, it is also a pimple in Nurhachi's heart. After all, backtracking is not a good reputation.

Therefore, when the Ming court introduced Nala Zhongming as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, Nurhachi also saw that it was a plan to divide and disintegrate, but he still couldn't be completely relieved.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. What's more, those vassals who are not as close as husband and wife, those tribes that are close?

After a series of defeats, how many of the Mongols who were attached to the Houjin ran away? They helped Houjin fight the war and got a lot of benefits.

From the centrifugation of the Mongols, Nurhachi also had to beware of the betrayal of other Jurchen tribes. For example, the Yehe Department, the Huifa Department, the Haixi Jurchen and so on.

People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and Liu Xingzuo, who is so trustworthy, can rebel, which makes Nurhachi's suspicions even worse.

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji bowed down again and reported: "The firecrackers captured in the battle with the Ming army have been summoned to be imitated by craftsmen. If it can be successful, it can be equipped with the Han soldiers led by Tong Yangxing. ”

Han soldiers?! Nurha narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "The Ming army has sharp weapons, if our army can also be equipped, it is a good thing, you are responsible for supervising it!" ”
