Chapter 85 Nanjing's New Banknotes
Chapter 85 Nanjing's New Banknotes
Under the leadership of He Xi, all parties in Beijing check and balance each other, and the problem between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying is the greatest. But other than that, all other forces have not exceeded the limit.
Even Ye Shen couldn't walk alone.
This though has some troubles. But that's how it is in the power arena.
Prior to this, the situation in Nanjing was under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen, although it was bumpy and bumpy, it was not as good as Beijing. But on the whole, it is also under control.
The honorable civil servants checked and balanced each other, and the emperor was in the middle to dismantle the ruling.
The emperor had the absolute support of civil officials, although the nobles had a lot of power for a while. But it will not subvert the imperial court.
But that's no longer the case.
In order to crack down on his land acquisition, Ding Xian introduced a large number of nobles into it.
In other words, under Ding Xian's operation, the power that originally belonged to the merchant was swallowed by Xungui. In this way, the strength of the nobles has greatly increased. Moreover, if the army assists, the influence of these nobles on the army will also penetrate into the field of civil affairs.
Rich, influential in the army. It also has influence at the local level, and even at critical times, it can pull people out. What is it? Isn't this the gate valve family?
Without the civil service system to rely on, what will happen to the imperial power in the face of such a huge power group? You can imagine it.
In other words, Ding Xian's approach is to personally break the balance of power that Zhu Yuanzhang has been trying to establish before.
Yao Guangxiao didn't understand, this Ding Xian was really stupid, or did he have other plans.
Yao Guangxiao said; "The stakes are too high for me to decide. He must be made known immediately. Let's wait for news."
Immediately, Yao Guangxiao sent the news to Beijing through his channels.
-------
If Ding Xian did not anticipate the situation expected by Yao Guangxiao and others at all, it is false.
The reason why Ding Xian did this.
It's because he doesn't think about so much power at all.
Zhu Yunwen is pressed tightly, no matter what method is used, Ding Xian must make a sum of money to supply the imperial army. Hundreds of thousands of troops and battlefield artillery, in fact, in Ding Xian's view, is just one word: "money."
Making money is never easy. Both for the individual and for the nation...
And Zhu Yunwen actually has no patience for Ding Xian than the other party's filial piety.
Without him, Fang Xiaoru himself has a background and strength. When Zhu Yunwen is filial to the other party, he must weigh the pros and cons. But Ding Xian didn't have these, so Ding Xian had to meet Zhu Yunwen's requirements first than anyone else.
Otherwise, Zhu Yunwen wants him to die, which is just a matter of one sentence.
Ding Xian didn't have time to think about the future and hidden dangers.
and Ding Xian killed Fang Xiaoru. Many people are brewing to deal with Ding Xian. Ding Xian knows. Ding Xian is more sensitive than anything else in this. The first thing he had to do was to consolidate his position and defeat these political enemies. Otherwise, among these people, if there is a person who is more shameless, more bottomless, and more methodical than himself, how should he deal with himself?
Therefore, it makes no difference how to beat the reservoir dog, whether you fight it yourself or find a way to let others help you beat it.
Ding Xian's team is still relatively thin. Out of Nanjing City, it is difficult to say that there are any protégés.
Therefore, there is no way for Ding Xian to do this thing.
What's more, the most in-depth point is that Ding Xian is essentially impossible to be loyal to anyone. For him, he is working for the emperor, and it is enough to complete the current task on time and in accordance with the emperor's requirements. What does the future do?
It would be better if you did some personal work for yourself while completing these tasks.
Here's what he did. He is obviously generous to the court, and the hidden danger is the future. Favors are one's own. And with the favor of so many people, it is reasonable for his Ding family to intervene in these industries.
And if he cultivates enough teams in the future and has a good relationship with the nobles, who is it? That's Li Shanchang's second.
What He Xi did in Beijing, he may not be able to do in Nanjing.
As for the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, Ding Xian didn't think much about him at all. I don't feel sorry for him. After all, he made this request, and he had to approve it in the end. As an emperor, you can't see the problem inside, that's your problem.
And not his.
The only thing that was beyond Ding Xian's expectation was probably that these nobles actually jumped into the boat of Beijing, of course, even if Ding Xian knew, probably he would treat it as if he didn't know.
After all, this one thing in the future may be able to save lives.
-------
When He Xi saw the news from Nanjing, he didn't know what to say.
He Xi can be sure that Ding Xian's practice has not made the Nanjing banknote a subsidiary currency of Beijing. Of course, Ding Xian's doing this is a precedent in this era, and he can be regarded as a pioneer, and he probably didn't understand many things.
It's just a system established by He Xi, he changed it, and he used it directly.
This stumped He Xi.
What to do?
Maintaining this relationship is simply economic colonization. Nanjing flowers are printed here. Give as much as you want, and within a few months, let Nanjing hyperinflation. But the question is whether the hyperinflation in Nanjing will affect Beijing.
After all, whatever? Both sides are locked in. Although Beijing can announce that it does not recognize the new Nanjing banknote. So the redemption is all done privately. It has nothing to do with Beijing. Push the blame clean.
But the problem is that there is only one Ming, even if the two sides go to war. But the economies of both sides remain closely linked. Nanjing's economy collapsed, and the banknotes printed in Beijing would eventually flow back to Beijing.
This is inevitable.
Secondly, as mentioned earlier, it is not a good thing for He Xi to end the war quickly. After all, at the end of the war, the problems between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying are estimated to pop up.
When there is no crisis and demand, there is no urgency to change the law. The public opinion and officialdom direction faced by He Xi are different.
He Xi thought about it, and finally sighed, and chose to find a few people from his entrainment, who are proficient in banking affairs, and such talents are only available here in He Xi.
Send them to Nanjing.
Help Ding Xian complete this reform.
After all, cracking down on civilians, scholars, and doctors is where He Xi and Ding Xian's interests coincide. The difference between He Xi and Ding Xian is that He Xi has built a whole new education system and cultivated a new group of bureaucrats.
That is, students from Beijing Guozijian, Yingkou University, and several other universities. These students are naturally grouped together in officialdom. They were very effective in the face of the Shidaifu group.
After several years, He Xi is sure that even in the future, these new bureaucrats will fight with the old bureaucrats such as scholars and doctors in the court. I will also be able to defeat those scholars.
But Ding Xian didn't.
That is, He Xi completed the substitution, one interest group replaces another interest group. What Ding Xian did was to embezzle and let the Xungui group embezzle part of the interests of the original civil and landlords.
He Xi secretly said in his heart: "It's time to lay out for the future."
That's right, this Civil War is actually a midfield. But in He Xi's view, the outcome has already been decided. There is not much suspense about the war anymore. It's nothing more than three or four more Armageddons. Or rather, the war has been repeated, and it is just two more years of entanglement.
After all. He Xi has perfected the Beijing system, and the entire new system, plus the industrial system and the military system, is better than Nanjing in all aspects. How this situation is still unwinnable, almost impossible.
Therefore, after the war, He Xi will also be on the agenda.
After all, he can't just think about a corner of Liaodong Beijing. The economy of the Ming Dynasty cannot be so unbalanced.
He Xi thought of the post-war layout. There was a sudden movement in his heart, and he said secretly
"Can you have some contact with Ding Xian?"
Yes. He Xi saw through Ding Xian's plan that he was not a loyal and filial son, and asked Ding Xian to defect to Beijing, He Xi did not dare to make such delusions. But do some exchanges with Ding Xian in some areas. to facilitate their own layout in the post-war period.
But you can.
It is estimated that as long as the price is right, Ding Xian will dare to do anything.
