Chapter 124: The War Begins

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, since it can't be beaten, it is a normal choice to join.

In fact, as far as Ding Xian himself is concerned, there has never been a choice between the new law and the old law, it is nothing more than what mountain to sing and what song to sing. His political foundation makes him have no other choice, in terms of making money, in fact, Ding Xian prefers to follow He Xi.

Even when he regretted it, why didn't he endure it back then and follow He Xi, but it is not like this now.

However, when I dreamed back at midnight, I also figured it out. Even if he held back at the beginning, there was a day when he couldn't bear it.

At that time, he looked down on He Xi 10,000.

After all, He Xi's foundation in Confucianism was stumbling at the beginning, compared to his ten years of hard study, the difference is incomprehensible, and as for other aspects, he didn't see anything outstanding. Just a few fresh ideas, how to convince him.

The jealousy in his heart made him unwilling to live under nepotism.

It is both accidental and inevitable to get to the present. However, it is clear that there is light at the end of the day.

Regarding Ding Xian's middle strategy, these people immediately shook their heads and said, "No, absolutely not." ”

The face is a very empty thing, and it is also very practical. Directly related to status.

In the Jiangnan area, there are many businessmen who make money by opening the sea, but they still can't raise their heads in the township, because the traditional order is mastered by scholars, and those who have money are just nouveau riche. It's not on the table.

And there are countless ways to get these people's money away.

For example, if the ancestral hall is repaired in the cultivation clan, do you have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution? Then the one who pays is the real money, and the one who contributes may not be.

Besides, the county government apportionment, the famous rich people are naturally the big heads, and it is better to have money but no status. It is not without reason that in ancient times, when Chinese merchants had money, they had to buy land and convert themselves into gentry, or urge their children to study, and they must become scholars.

The inside and the face can also be transformed into each other. Without a calm face, this face will be lost sooner or later, and now, many gentry in Jiangnan are facing such a problem. The number of students admitted to Guozijian is limited. Even if he did not choose those who supported the new law, he would not choose those who insisted on opposing it.

Now, even if Nanjing Guozijian returns to the hands of Confucianism, it is unlikely that too many people will graduate from Guozijian for a while.

Then in terms of money, before He Xi arrived, the richest group of people in the world were the scholars, not to mention anything else, just take the Xie family as an example, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, generations of officials have not changed, even if they entered the Ming Dynasty, it will not affect the influence of the Xie family in their hometown.

Occupy a large amount of land and have a large number of hidden fields. And owning acres of land does not mean that these people all make money from the fields, to put it mildly, how much money can they make from farming? Rather, with the help of the invisible power that owning a large amount of land gives him.

For tenant vassals, the power in commerce after the number of people is overwhelming. Influence on the ground. influence the power of the county government and so on.

This can bring them money, and even some things that money can't.

Let them bow their heads, as soon as they lose face, let people see their external strength and middle strength, and the loss will be too great.

Naturally, it will never work.

Ding Xian said: "Then there is only a strategy, find a way to isolate the banks around the country, let them know that the strong dragon will not suppress the snake." Find a few things that went wrong, and the bank got out. ”

The stewards looked at each other, said nothing, and took their leave.

They didn't get any useful information here at Ding Xian. As for Ding Xian's next policy, it was something they had to do a long time ago.

Ding Xian also frowned slightly when he saw them leaving, he was also a little worried at the moment, whether these people could fight He Xi, He Xi did a good job in Beijing.

------

Beijing, Bank.

He Xi was extremely depressed in his heart, and he had countless things to say, but he couldn't say them.

At this moment, He Xi felt that it was a little too confident to count on these people to support him in launching changes to change the face of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years.

He Xi has always felt that the unification and improvement of the financial market is a great benefit to businessmen. You know, needless to say, the treasure banknotes have been depreciating, although after Zhu Yuanzhang stopped large-scale issuance, the face value of the treasure banknotes that lost people's trust was also unstable, because the imperial court had control over this aspect at all, that is, free-range. Even if no one manipulates it on a large scale, it won't be too stable.

This kind of instability itself affects the way we do business.

Not to mention the silver taels.

Silver taels, it seems to be one unit, no, it's hundreds of units.

The silver handed over to the treasury in various places is a standard, the treasury silver of the provinces, the customs silver is a standard, the silver used in the palace is called Jinhua silver, which is a standard, and the silver stored in the household department is called the household silver, which is also a standard, not to mention, the officials are different, some people have hands and feet, some people have no hands and feet, and the amount of silver is not the same between different batches.

Why gold and silver shops are everywhere, and why exchanging gold and silver can become a specialized business, the above are the reasons.

But even so, the Ming Dynasty was also good, and the provinces of the Song Dynasty issued their own coins, the most typical of which was the iron money in Shu, which could not be out of Shu at all, and the division of various places can be seen.

He Xi felt that he was doing this thing to clear the obstacles for the unified market of the Ming Dynasty. Aren't these businessmen the ones who benefit the most?

But He Xi found that these people didn't think so.

Because, almost the merchants of the entire city of Beijing have joined forces to hoard treasure money, wanting to push up the price of treasure money and make a lot of money. It's like this. The price of the treasure banknote rose directly by one percent. This means that He Xi has to pay more money to redeem it.

Some people may say that it is okay not to exchange it.

Anyway, there is a time limit for this, and it will be invalidated when the time comes. Didn't these people smash the treasure money in their hands?

The same operation depends on who does it.

If it was an ordinary businessman, He Xi could naturally do this. Just ignore it.

But this is not an ordinary businessman, there are nobles behind him, and He Xi can't ignore them. Even He Xi suspected that this was their temptation of He Xi.

It is normal for people to be good at being bullied by others, and horses to be good at being ridden by others. He Xi threw out all the chickens that laid golden eggs and gave them to them. Want to make them grateful, but not much. However, be grateful beforehand, and think more afterwards.

See if He Xi is willing to give up more things.

This is probably such a temptation.

It is important to make a sum of money from the exchange of treasure money. But also to see how confident He Xi is?

After all, He Xi has his own very good reasons for transferring these industries, but this reason is difficult for these nobles to understand. What they can understand better is the law of the jungle, and He Xi did this because he asked them.

Of course, if you get the benefits of He Xi, you will naturally have to pay it back in the future. This is the rule of the upper class, and they do not deny it. But the problem is the price code. Can you squeeze it and let He Xi pay more benefits.

However, here in Beijing, He Xi has a way to clean them up. The biggest problem is that tidying up also needs to be measured. After all, there are still many places for cooperation between the two sides in the future, and they need to fight but not break. Not to mention anything else, as I said before, it is very profitable to rely on banks to do some business.

After all, the banking system established by He Xi is too small for the entire Ming Dynasty. In the Liaodong region of Hebei, you can still go to the county, and some provinces in the south do not have it. If someone exchanges treasure money below, and then comes to the bank to exchange silver coins, it is not that they can't give the difference.

But the question is, this price difference was given to them by He Xi. It's not that they forced He Xi to give in.

This is to distinguish who is the big and small king.

He Xi didn't say a word, he called Yang Shiqi and asked him to instruct the bank, and so on.

In this era, these nobles do not seem to have realized the impact of banks on other economies, and they give He Xi eye medicine, and He Xi only needs to dial the bank to let them know what it means to have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

However, these side matters in Beijing are easy to deal with. He Xi was a little worried about the affairs of the banks in the south.

-------

Everything is peaceful in Nanjing, as if nothing happened.

After all, even if these people are not satisfied, they don't dare to mess around under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose. But the rest of the South is different.

All sorts of messy things.

Huang Zicheng was also very annoyed.

Some are helpless, He Xiyuan is in Beijing, and many things in the south are beyond the reach of the whip. And Huang Zicheng is also an important minister in the south as a young man. So, He Xi asked Huang Zicheng to exert influence. Take care of one or two.

It's just that Huang Zicheng doesn't take care of it.

In those cities near the sea and cities with open sea, the implementation of banks is still easy to do. But those places that are a little farther from the sea immediately do not work, not to mention losses or losses. It's all a showpiece.

No business at all. The only business is probably money transferred from other cities. Other than that, there is no way.

If it weren't for the fact that the bank was also in the imperial court system, killing the bankers would be tantamount to killing the imperial officials, and it is estimated that many people in the bank would not be unscathed.

It's just what can he do? Nothing can be done.

This is a long-term war.

Unless, He Xi can use ruthless measures to transform the entire southern economic structure into the appearance of Hebei. Otherwise, this situation will continue for a long time.

However, this also proves that what He Xi did finally had a national impact, and at the same time, intensified the confrontation between the two sides.

If, before that, many people didn't have any feelings about the new law or anything, but now that the new law has come to their side, many scholars and doctors also feel pain.

Some people died, but not completely......
