"How's the road going?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu a number of questions about Suiyuan Chidao and mining.

Wang Chonggu replied like a stream, he is the secretary of the criminal department, but he is also a second assistant, and he has the right to inquire about these things, Wang Chonggu reported on the construction of the Chi Road, Pan Jitao, the governor of Suiyuan, is very suitable, because when he governed the Yellow River, it was the coordination of large-scale projects, but anyone who can do a good job in the coordination of this kind of project is guaranteed to be a follower, otherwise the Yellow River cannot be governed.

Hu Yuan directly turned the world against the Yellow River because of his governance.

Wang Chonggu is actually very good at taking care of these, for example, he made the construction of the Xuanda Great Wall and the palace Dingjian, which is fast and good, and Wang Chonggu guarantees that the Ten Kings City can be delivered between the end of the year.

"The affairs of the Ten Kings City can be done slowly, and if it can't be completed, it's okay, in case of a big snowfall several times in a row, the construction period will be a little later, and the second assistant doesn't have to be too anxious." Zhu Yijun's expectation for the relocation order is that it can be tossed and understood by the end of the eleventh year of Wanli, and it is a good table.

Wang Chonggu said very solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

This is a verbal promise, it doesn't matter if the construction period is delayed, even if it is a verbal promise, it is a promise from His Majesty, and it is also a verbal promise when ten years of extermination.

can get His Majesty's holy family, Wang Chonggu goes underground, and he can blow with his ancestors and ancestors for a lifetime.

Zhu Yijun shook from his sleeve, took out the last book and said, "Isn't this the end of the year?" The household department is in the big plan, that is, to audit the accounts of the world, and the big Situ and the young Situ sent a notebook, talking about the money law and the banknote law, and the household department still wants to implement the banknote law. ”

Wang Chonggu frowned, and after reading the song, he was a little dumbfounded, and he said sluggishly: "What do you mean by Da Situ and Shao Situ?" The implementation of the banknote law is the business of their household department, why should it be pushed to the ministers? How can he be a minister! ”

The recital of the household department said one thing from beginning to end, the anchoring of the banknote law implemented by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty always has to use the money method, ten years after opening the sea, a large amount of silver flowed into and even tried its best to strip the Wa country, but the silver is still not enough, a large amount of silver inflow prices are basically stable, it is still a shortage of money.

The banknote law is imperative, but there is still the most critical problem to be solved, that is, the anchorage.

"Those who can work harder, Da Situ and Shao Situ are also for Da Ming, not for themselves." Zhu Yijun appeased Wang Chonggu, this matter really had to rely on the engineer regiment battalion and officialdom presided over by Wang Chonggu to achieve.

Material abundance is required.

Wang Chonggu just took a brief and cursory look at the recital, and he was not on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, he shook his head and said, "Isn't it okay to directly anchor the silver?" Whoever makes trouble will die, those who make private seals will be killed, and those who violate the law will be killed! ”

It's not easy to issue money? Prepare enough silver, let the treasure money bureau start the money printing machine, and start printing money, who doesn't use it, who does nonsense, just eat the emperor's fist.

"Am I so powerful in Wang Cifu's heart?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

Wang Chonggu is always like this, feeling that authority is omnipotent, imperial power is never omnipotent, and even most of the time, it is good for the imperial power to perform normally and not make trouble.

Emperor En Broken Ground Fist is powerful, Emperor Taizu Gao is very good at this kind of boxing, but in the end the banknote method is still corrupted, but this punch continues, there is no way to do the banknote method, no matter how well-made, how advanced the anti-counterfeiting is, the people no longer recognize.

"The minister will take a look at the recital of the household department." Wang Chonggu felt that he was a little taken for granted, the imperial power was naturally powerful, but it was limited to the Beijing Hall, out of the Beijing Division, His Majesty also had to discuss with the local government, it was not something that could be solved by a holy decree, if the holy decree was really so magical, the Jin Party would just order the dissolution of a holy decree.

Wang Chonggu carefully studied the "Banknote Law Anchoring Shu" of the household department and found that what the household said made sense, and it was very reasonable, and this matter really had his Wang Chonggu's business.

"The minister is ashamed, the matter entrusted by the household department, the minister is afraid that he will not be able to do it until he dies." Wang Chonggu was sure that he did not understand the meaning of the wrong household department, after all, he shook his head, the banknote issuance method is actually a measure of whether the Ming Dynasty is great again, or a standard for the Ming Wanli Restoration, and only when this step is achieved can it be regarded as part of success.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains has changed countless names, trying to solve a problem, that is, money shortage, but history is always playing out repeatedly, the banknote law has collapsed again and again, and the cycle repeats, the Central Plains needs more currency, there is no doubt about this, otherwise there will be no money shortage.

Paper money is the loan of the imperial court to the people, which has been repeatedly discussed by Xu Heng in "The Currency Notebook".

Paper money means borrowing, which means that the anchor of paper money is debt, and the essence of debt is the credit of the dynasty, using credit to issue bonds, using debt to issue money, more money and commerce are prosperous, a piece of flowers, and there is more confidence inside and outside, continue to issue bonds, so vicious circle, so that the left foot steps on the right foot, until the bang is completely broken.

Is it a person who is self-disciplined, diligent, and persistent in his heart, can he really withstand the temptation of printing money and constantly harvesting others? Never.

Fan Yingqi is a good example, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, he won the championship, unparalleled, famous in the world, when he has a toothache, find a way to relieve pain, the time is a little longer, the poisoning is getting deeper and deeper, the original Fan Yingqi has died, and now Fan Yingqi is just a poisonous insect wearing human skin.

The banknote law has always been corrupted, because of the lack of anchorage, this anchor can be grain, can also be gold, silver and copper, can be productivity, can also be credit, but only can not be simply credit, if the Ming treasure banknote can buy rice, flour, grain, oil, meat and meat, it will not collapse.

As soon as the Ming Dynasty opened its eyes every day, 120 million dingkou, that is, 150 million catties of grain, 7.54 million catties of oil, 130 million catties of vegetables, and 16 million catties of meat.

The Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, Hu Yuan, and the Ming Dynasty actually couldn't do it, so the collapse of the treasure money and the banknote law became a matter of course.

In fact, the big Situ Shao Situ of the household department has actually read the "Coins Notebook", and has their own ideas about the anchoring of banknotes, and the Ming Dynasty wants to implement the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and the anchors of the treasure banknotes mainly include: the strength of the military, land, grain, silver, brass, coal, cotton, Chidao, sea power, only so anchored, the currency of the Ming Dynasty will maintain basic health and stability.

The salt of the Ming Dynasty can be used as money, because the salt is anchored to the salt, and in Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, the salt introduction can also be replaced with cotton cloth.

Salt is only used by a small number of people, and the circulation of Daming treasure banknotes is bound to be huge, and it is used by everyone in the world, so there are more things that need to be anchored, in order to be strong, only when there are more aspects involved, can we supervise each other, so as not to become a tool to strip the world because of a person's greed.

"So according to the Ministry of Households, it is really true that the engineer regiment battalion and the official factory regiment can continue to exert their strength." Zhu Yijun said solemnly to Wang Chonggu: "It's not that it's in a hurry, if you don't achieve it in ten years, thirty years, fifty years, you will have to come to that day." ”

This matter is not something that Wang Chonggu had to complete before his death, but something that Zhu Yijun, the emperor, had to do before his death, which is difficult, but it is necessary and must be done.

Zhu Yijun and Wang Chonggu chatted carefully about the details, Wang Chonggu stood up and retired, he actually wanted to achieve the standard of the household before his death, the Ming Dynasty can implement the banknote law, and in the future, how can he Wang Chonggu also evaluate the third hero of the Wanli Restoration!

The first two are Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, one is the new law, and the other is the protector of the new law.

The real value of money is the real thing, never gold, silver, copper, iron, or waste paper that is too hard to wipe the buttocks.

This is also the confidence and fundamental reason why Wang Qian can carry out fixed-point blasting of dealers in the trading house.

The dealer needs silver to manipulate the price of the ticket, and the silver with low interest and high discount will come to the door; Wang Qian found the domestic and state funds to borrow and took out the goods or tickets that made it impossible for speculators to eat; Wang Qian first deliberately pulled up with the banker, paralyzing the opponent at the same time, let the currency (silver) be withdrawn, and stimulate the banker to borrow more money; When the total circulating volume of the trading bank is equal to the ammunition in hand, sell it together;

In order to prevent the pressure of smashing in their hands and having to repay the loan due or unable to redeem the ancestral property, a certain dealer of the dealers took the lead and began to sell, triggering a stampede, and the dealers who borrowed a lot of money were targeted blasting; Then Wang Qian released the good news again, completed the finish, and maintained the stability of the ticket.

Similar operations are not only the tickets of the trading house, but also the rice, flour, grain, oil, coal, cotton, these things necessary for life, only the imperial court has enough materials in its hands, can it restrain the hoarders from raising prices, and can maintain the basic stability of the people's lives.

Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan summarized the rules in depth after the chaotic battle of the trading line, and finally summarized it in the "Banknote Law Anchoring Shu".

Zhu Yijun anchored this banknote and put it into the window of the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, and copied the full text to the newspaper of the palace, published in the world's yamen, and the special copyists of the official offices at all levels will copy this book.

"Maybe this will be the source of the banknote law in the future." Zhu Yijun carefully put the song away, this is something that will be in the coffin with him after death.

In the future, if someone opens his coffin, he can also find something useful, in case the Central Plains needs archaeological scientific research in the future, these things in the world, who can say clearly?

The audit in November of the 10th year of Wanli was thrilling, because after Fan Yingzhi's case, it immediately attracted the attention of the household department, which equated this behavior with the concealment of acres of fields, although these acres were on the books, but always used various excuses to exempt the court, and in the end the imperial court still lost taxes.

If the imperial court lost the taxes, these acres would be returned to the hands of the poor coolies, but these acres were subleased by large households, and the circulation and further annexation of the land were realized, which was unbearable.

The audit of the household department has never been so bloody, and this all-round survey of the country's official fields has made countless people tremble.

For bonded, for the people for the state, for the solid Bangning, the Ming court is extremely serious.

Six books and one account can objectively reflect the problem, because all income and expenditure are linked to the acres of land, the completion of the clearing, so that the audit becomes very meaningful, as long as there is a place in the six books and one account, it will cause the household department to take stock of the detailed accounts.

The results were staggering.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and 16 provinces, almost all the official fields in almost all places have been encroached upon to varying degrees, that is, in essence, the hidden acres of land, the official fields are in the account, but the income is not in the account.

The most serious is Henan, followed by Shandong, and then Sichuan.

This is also the three major difficulties of the Qing Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty has been vigilant against the gentry of the Southern Ya, but instead focus on the matter of sea trade, around the sea trade fight of life and death, the fourteen mansions of the Southern Ya, including Songjiang Mansion, so encroached on the official land, but it is the least, it is within the scope of tolerance, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and even Jiangxi, are not particularly serious.

This time, the scholars and doctors from the south ridiculed the bureaucratic malpractices and corruption in the northern region, and the scholars and doctors from the north quickly found a reason to fight back. It's all mergered, and it's all in the hands of the family! It's embarrassing to ridicule the old evils and corruption in the north, there are not many official fields in the south, of course there is no such problem!

The two sides had a friendly exchange in the miscellaneous newspapers, and when the northern scholars took out the big killer weapon of Xu Jie, the southern scholars could only silence and be silent, unable to rap anymore.

Who made Xu Jie's Happy Forest Corruption Monument the only one that is high off a cliff?

A family of 400,000 mu of land is still too much, but it is the field of Songjiang Mansion, and one mu is nearly five taels of silver.

Although the scholars and doctors in the south wanted to give an example to Wang Chonggu, they found that after Wang Chonggu blocked the hole built by the Great Wall and spit out all the silver, all the income of the old Wang family could stand the scrutiny, and the corruption figures were very small, and most of the silver was made with the emperor.

In any case, the Jin Party represented by Wang Chonggu also ended the war between the Ming Dynasty and Altan Khan, giving the Ming a chance to breathe.

The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall is quite solemn, Lin Fucheng is a free anecdote, sold out in the Jingtang, and also caused a problem for the Ming court.

"It's essentially a matter of governance." Zhang Juzheng frowned, and said with a sinking face: "There is still a problem with the promotion of Daming, the first class and the second class who were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, starting from the Beijing official, resulting in a lack of grassroots experience, even if it is necessary to conduct official examination selection and supervise the official, but the Jingtang officials do not know much about local issues, and they are still the key to the problem." ”

"Therefore, in terms of the governance of officials, it is necessary to break the monopoly of the first and second class on the Beijing officials, which is the way to cure the problem at the root, rather than waiting for the local government to poke the problem to the court in hindsight."

Zhang Juzheng believes that the core problem of this matter is the rule of officials, which is also the core of his new policy.

"It's not just the officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials in the world, but this Metropolitan Procuratorate has become the mouthpiece of party struggle all day long for some trivial things, and anti-corruption itself is the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the failure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervision has finally caused such a situation." Hai Rui's face was a little painful, as the divine sword that the people of the Great Tomorrow had high hopes for, he had been beheading corrupt officials all these years, fulfilling his duties, and even colluding with Wang Qian, using the clues provided by Wang Qian to fight corruption.

But after so many years of corruption, and after so many years of corruption, this corruption is as strong as weeds, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate's impeachment of Tan Lun because of coughing is a typical example of the failure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's supervision.

Hai Rui sighed and said: "There is a widely circulated saying in Jingshi: the prescription of the Tai Hospital, the article of the Hanlin Academy, the chapter of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the tea soup of the Guanglu Temple, the sword and gun of Luan Yiwei, and the mother-in-law of the Goldfish Pond. ”

The performance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is all nonsense, the imperial history that does not do the right thing, it is no longer enough to carry water and coal, get the experience of the border side, and accumulate practical experience, otherwise the failure of this supervision will be a big disaster for the dynasty.

"Is it possible that these things wouldn't have been a thing ten years ago?" Wang Chonggu looked around and said tentatively: "Don't be so close to the enemy, or even hang your head, ten years ago, someone said that there was such a case in the Ming officialdom, everyone would feel normal, and it couldn't be dealt with at all, and in the end they could only come up with a procrastination trick, and they dragged it out again and again, and finally it was over." ”

Wang Chonggu said with emotion: "It's a blessing to worry about corrupt officials. ”

The Longqing period is better than the last years of Jiajing, but the good ones are limited, and it is a kind of happiness to be able to worry about the affairs of corrupt officials, which proves that the Ming court has finally returned to normal, and those greater crises have been solved.

"Why worry, now the main thing is to solve the problem of redundancy, and after a while, we can go deeper." Wang Chonggu is very confident in the future of Daming!

It can be seen from the case of Baoding Mansion that the local government is actually helpless against this kind of nest case, and the Wang family of Waist Mountain is holding the contract signed at the beginning, and the court is losing the trust of the country, but now that this issue is discussed on the bright side, the non-compliant contract signed in the past can be abolished, and then the parties will be held accountable.

Under the multi-layered responsibility system and accountability system of the examination law, not to mention promotion, even if a person dies, he must be held accountable to the grave, which is the severity of the examination law.

"When Wang Cifu said this, it doesn't seem to be a big deal." Wang Guoguang spread his hands, it seems that this is indeed the case, where can the imperial court take care of the encroachment of Guantian at that time? The annual income of the imperial court is only enough for three months' expenditure, and nothing can be done.

Zhang Juzheng doesn't like Wang Chonggu very much, the reason is here, Wang Cifu is indeed a country now, but he can always tolerate sand in his eyes, advocating flooding, and then attacking the fortifications, Zhang Juzheng can't even bear to make mistakes under his door.

"It's still going to be solved." Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "In the future, there is no place for the Jingtang officials to perform their duties, and they cannot be promoted, at least three years, even if they have the official title of Beijing officials, they must go to the local area for training, otherwise how can they know the audacity of the place." ”

Hai Rui continued: "The Daoist officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should also be like this, always talking about the facts, how to be a bone and a righteous minister? ”

Daming's important error correction force can't go on like this.

"The nest case of the encroachment of local officials' land must be investigated to the end, and will not be tolerated, and all officials involved will be fully held accountable, even if it is so troublesome that they want to use people as officials." Wang Guoguang's voice was very cold, this case implicated a wide range of people, and at least he was dismissed, stripped of his official body, or imprisoned.

Fortunately, the reservoir of the Ming Dynasty as an official has prepared reserve talents with practical experience for the Ming Dynasty, so that the imperial court has the ability and confidence to deal with this matter, and it can only be allowed to be so rotten before it is released, at that time, the administrative power of the Ming Dynasty is close to the verge of collapse.

"Yes." Wang Chonggu has no opinion, this can be regarded as a further reform of the law to the rule of officials, and Zhang Juzheng is not bad anyway if he offends people.

Zhang Juzheng's test score is completely different from other people's test scores, Zhang Juzheng's test score is scolded, the more scolded he is, the more outrageous the jokes are choreographed, the greater his credit, and the thicker the credit book, which is completely different from others.

Zhang Juzheng wrote the floating ticket, and Zhu Yijun made a print on the recital of the household.

"Wang Cifu said reasonable, this is indeed meticulous work, is the Ming Revolution can only be dealt with after the new problem, but not a reason for slackness, there is a problem to deal with the problem, not as a blind eye, the household, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of officials to give the method is effective, if there is no improvement, it will be the tax inspector to check the tax." Zhu Yijun said concludingly.

If the tax audit is carried out, it is not that the decree is so mild, it is a small-scale and low-intensity bonded war, and the means of the tax institute are extremely violent.

The tax institute is the confidence of the imperial power to lift the table on taxes, of course, under normal circumstances, Zhu Yijun will not lift the table, this world is the world of the world, and it is also the world of the old Zhu family, and it is not conducive to the stability of the country by lifting the table.

"Six docks for fast sailing ships have been built, and Daming can build at least twelve fast sailing ships a year." Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, reported a good news quite excitedly, the atmosphere was too dull, and some good news was needed to stimulate the Ming courtiers, and the Ming Dynasty was not only bad.

It is absolutely good news that these fast sailing boats have helped transform the economy of small farmers in Daming.

Wan Shihe said with a smile: "Speaking of this fast sailing ship, I have to mention Shah Maimaiti, he really wants it, and he asked through Honglu Temple again and again, the price is not a problem, and the price increase is not a problem." Before it was put into production, orders for the new dock at the Songjiang Shipyard were already in short supply. ”

"If you don't sell it, don't even think about it." Zhu Yijun immediately replied: "I do want to make money, but there are some things that are still in the hands of Da Ming, even if they are sunk, I will not give them to them." ”

All models of fast sailing ships, even the monkey version will not be sold to the public, this Tianjin parade, originally the Ministry of Rites arranged for Fanguo envoys to board the ship, which was regarded as Xuanwei, but after Zhu Yijun read it, he temporarily decided not to show them.

Don't even think about it!

Some of the designs on the fast sailing ship are completely ahead of this era, and to show them a little is the loss of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun was very stingy.

Fast sailing ships are in the hands of Daming, and they will only make more money.

"Da Situ, I remember that Kaihai Investment did not continue to invest in Songjiang Shipyard." Zhu Yijun thought about it a little and asked.

After Wang Guoguang communicated with Zhang Xueyan, he said with confidence: "In the opening of the sea at the beginning of the tenth year of Wanli, the five major shipyards did not invest more, because 20% of their shipbuilding profits were reserved for the shipyard's own use, which was completely enough to expand production. ”

"Your Majesty, shipbuilding is very profitable..."

At present, the world's most high-tech, labor-intensive industry, its profits are higher than that of maritime trade, and it is more stable and less risky.

The new phase of investment in the opening of the sea is a large-scale investment in the industrial chain of the shipbuilding industry, rather than the shipyard itself.

Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "So, Dasikong, these six docks were set up by Songjiang Shipyard itself?" Will it affect the operation of Matsue Prefecture? ”

"Your Majesty, His Majesty gave two million silver to Youlong, in addition to the launching of Youlong, there is also a Feiyun, these six docks are in the two million special silver, and the launching of course includes mass production." Wang Daokun said a little weakly: "Just when the Youlong was launched, there was a corruption nest case, and 70,000 taels of silver were embezzled, but they have been recovered." ”

Not every corruption case will go through the court's discussion, 70,000 taels of silver is not on the table, a 2 million silver project, there is 70,000 taels of 'loss' is actually within the acceptable range of the imperial court, it is just the shipyard's self-metabolism.

The main reason is that the shipyard is afraid that the civil officials will talk about corruption, and then expand to the ban on the sea, so the requirements are extremely strict, and the internal elimination and anti-corruption are very strict, and the redundancy of the shipyard last time is the embodiment of self-correction.

"Your Majesty has given too much." Wang Daokun asked for one million silver at the beginning, and he went to bargain, and the original goal was not one million silver, but he ruthlessly exploded two million silver coins from His Majesty, and the shipyards were a little weak.

"So, give the seventy thousand taels of silver to the craftsman." Zhu Yijun made a reward in Tianjin Wei, and the 70,000 taels of silver should not be returned to the accounts of the internal money, and they were divided on the spot.

Wang Daokun whispered: "The minister wants to use these 70,000 taels of silver to get a special shipmaster design institute to specialize in the research and development of new ships." ”

"Is 70,000 taels enough?" Zhu Yijun immediately felt that Wang Daokun was very good at spending money, and asked if he needed more financial support.

"Enough! Totally enough! Design is not about production! Wang Daokun waved his hand again and again.

"Is that really enough?" Zhu Yijun said with great pity.

Wang Daokun was a little puzzled, and just as he was about to continue refusing, Wang Chonggu immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not enough, Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, 70,000 taels will reward the craftsman, then the craftsman must be rewarded!" The affairs of the design institute still depend on the Holy Family! ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Give 100,000 silver to prepare for the establishment of the Royal Ship Design Institute, and this matter is decided." ”

Paying some money in the name of the royal family is simply a business that is not too profitable! This is the Emperor's credibility!

Wang Chonggu knew what His Majesty wanted as soon as he heard it, but Wang Daokun didn't react.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wang Chonggu took the lead in singing praises!
