Chapter 222 to the old four and a stuffy stick (3)
Wen Ruihe guessed correctly, Yinzuo will indeed make a heavy hand, but it is not as desperately attacking the lack of the household as Wen Ruihe expected, but is ready to send a great "credit" to the fourth, of course, this great "credit" is just a flower in the water, the moon in the mirror, which can be seen but cannot be touched - not to mention the fourth, even if Yinzuo has lived for two lifetimes, he only knows a scratch about the money law and currency system, Yinzuo doesn't believe that the fourth child can successfully make a reasonable currency system.
After the opening of the Qing Dynasty, the Baoyuan Bureau was set up by the Ministry of Industry and the Baoquan Bureau by the Ministry of Households, and the "Shunzhi Tongbao" was cast. The money law ten years after Shunzhi stipulates that the money is made of seventy percent red copper and three percent white lead; In the eighth year of Kangxi's money law, it was stipulated again: half of copper and lead for making money, one thousand wen for a string, each penny weighed one penny (later increased to one penny and two cents and five cents), two thousand strings for one mao, and the official price of one mao was converted into one tael of silver. The Collection Law stipulates that anyone who accumulates more than 100,000 yuan will be punished as violating the system; There is also a private casting law: the leader and the craftsman are executed for crimes, and the property is confiscated; In order to buy the envoy from and know, the head of the ten parents did not tell the knowing, and the magistrate knew about it, and sentenced them respectively; He was rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and later convicted of cutting money as a hanging, and imposed a strict ban on smugglers, and confiscated the private money within a time limit.
The money law currency system of the Qing Dynasty is basically in accordance with the money law of the Ming Dynasty, although the laws and regulations are strict, in fact, the operation is unsatisfactory, but it has become a profit gateway for the collusion of officials and businessmen, the annual loss of the treasury revenue is amazingly high, and it is also an extremely heavy burden for the common people, and it is really an extremely difficult thing to reform the money law and currency system, which involves a wide range of aspects, and it is not to change the proportion of copper and lead or issue paper money to solve it.
In order to have a stable currency system, we must first determine the total amount required for circulation, and also determine the reserves of gold and silver as the standard, have a nationwide banking system, and have a perfect legal system and law enforcement system. This series of work involves all departments of the court, is a systematic project, as far as the current Qing court is concerned, there is no more than ten years of time at all can not make a decent money method, currency system, once a little careless, it will inevitably cause the collapse of the national financial system, of course, if it can be successful, it will indeed have great benefits for the take-off of the national economy.
Yinzuo spent two days, combined with his own little financial knowledge, and discussed with Wu and Lin the two major strategists to come up with an excerpt, which was about some frameworks and wonderful prospects for money law and currency reform, just waiting for the fourth child to go and be busy. If it is a mediocre monarch, Yinzuo's excerpt may not be taken seriously, but the problem is that the old man Kangxi is really shrewd, and he can be regarded as a monarch who is sympathetic to the people.
Isn't the fourth child planning to fight for real results? Hey, let's let you fight, as soon as this fold is on, the fourth child has to be busy, there are not many people in the hands of the goods, and they are busy with the money law and currency system in addition to the official gentry. Beautiful very! Yinzuo looked at the folds that took the effort of the old nose to make out, but it was very beautiful in his heart, he didn't worry much about the fourth child really being able to make a name for himself, even if the fourth child could make a result, it would have to be many years later, for Yinzuo, this time is enough to do a lot of things, and what Yinzuo wants is time - the time it takes for the Thunder Plan to unfold.
On March 14, the 42nd year of Kangxi, just after the big case of the imperial examination, the officials of the imperial court were shocked, and now in the early dynasty, everyone was silent, no one wanted to touch the head at this time, and there was no major matter to discuss, only discussed the matter of the North Korean envoy to ask for assistance - in the autumn of the 41st year of Kangxi, the Korean drought was poor, and now it is not available, and Park Chengtai was sent as an envoy to the Qing Dynasty for help.
The old man Kangxi was also generous, and with a wave of his hand, the aid of two million stones of rice was sent out, which made Yinzuo feel distressed for a while: North Korea just paid tribute to some jewels and beauties in exchange for so much aid, and the old man is really a bit of an internationalist spirit, if it is replaced by us, it is okay to give this grain, take things in exchange, mink, wood and the like, and it is not bad to exchange mining rights for it, there is no reason to send food for nothing, damn, it is cheap to get that Goryeo stick. Yinzuo was secretly chattering crookedly, the old man Kangxi had already gotten up, ready to retire from the dynasty, but at this moment, Lianjun Wang Yinyu stood up, knelt down in front of the hall, and said loudly: "Qiyu Huang Ama, the sons have a book to play: the household money law is full of drawbacks, the folk money is expensive and the silver is cheap, one or two thousand tattoos of silver can only be exchanged for seven hundred and fifty Wen, the circulation is inconvenient, and there are even more unjudicial officials colluding with copper merchants to finance money casters to seek huge profits, which is the responsibility of the household department. As soon as he spoke, he held the notebook high above his head.
Yinxi also belongs to the characters who rarely speak in the court, everything is brought forward by the gang of slaves under the door, he belongs to the hidden behind the figure, and now he is suddenly on such a book, which really makes the old man Kangxi a little strange, stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to signal the eunuch Li Dequan to go down and take the fold, read it carefully, and frowned involuntarily - the examples on this fold are detailed, and it can be regarded as telling the shortcomings of today's money law and currency system, which is worthy of being a pertinent statement, which is not a rare thing, it's just that the old man Kangxi has always understood that Yinxi and his people have never done anything serious, so he doesn't believe that Yinxi's folding is out of public intentions.
The old man Kangxi put down the fold, frowned and looked at Yinxi, groaned, and waved his hand: "Xuan." The celebrant eunuch Li Dequan hurriedly picked up the fold on the dragon table and read it out loud: "Erchen loves Xinjueluo? Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the money law and currency system have been initially determined, but the time has passed, and the drawbacks have been born......"
It's a pity that the courtiers didn't have the heart to study the writing at all, and they were shocked by the drawbacks of the money law and currency system listed in it - nearly half of the imperial court's annual income was lost, and this kind of thing was really appalling, and the old eight's fold pointed directly at Yinzhen, the king of Yongjun, who was in charge of the household department, and almost pointed at Yinzhen's nose and scolded him for his dereliction of duty. The courtiers are all understanding people, and naturally know that this is the beginning of a battle between the brothers, and no one wants to be involved.
The old man Kangxi glanced at the ministers calmly, and said slowly: "What do you Aiqing think about this, let's listen to me. ”
The eighth child's subordinates have already been taken care of, don't dwell on this matter, naturally they won't come out to speak; The third child calmly waited to see a good show, ready to hit the stuffy stick at any time, just to see who fell behind, the third child's stick could be smashed down immediately; When the minister of the study heard this, he didn't prepare in advance, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't speak; As soon as the fourth Yinzhen heard this fold, he understood that this fold was aimed at himself, but how could he come up with any countermeasures for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, stood up with a pale face, knelt down in front of the hall and said: "Huang Ama, the son thinks that what the eighth brother said is very true, this matter is the matter that the son should be in charge of, the son is derelict in his duties, please deal with the emperor Ama , but this matter is important, not a day can be done, the son asks the emperor Ama to give the son a period of time, and then agree on the next morning." ”
The old man Kangxi nodded, did not answer Yinzhen's proposal, looked at Ma Qi and said, "Ma Qi, you are the old household department, what do you have to say about this matter?" ”
Ma Qi turned back to be the head of the household department at this time, the fold of the head of the old eight, Comrade Ma had been thinking in his heart for a long time, and reluctantly came up with a way, at this time he listened to the old man Kangxi's question, and hurriedly replied: "Wei Chen is ashamed, several of the household secretary of the post failed to find such a big loophole, the minister is guilty, but the minister thinks that there are indeed loopholes in the money law and currency system, but it is not impossible to adjust, the minister thinks that if the current half copper and half lead become copper four lead six, increase the intensity of cracking down on illegal copper merchants, may be able to curb the disadvantages of the money law." ”
"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that this move may work, although the strokes of the copper four lead six are slightly blurred, but it can put an end to the disadvantages of the money law, which is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and the minister asks the saint to learn from it." Wang Liang, the minister of the upper study, took the lead in seconding the proposal.
The household servant also came out and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that Lord Ma's words are feasible, please enlighten the saint." As soon as the age came out, the few minions of the fourth child in the court also came out to echo it, and it was a little lively for a while. After the eighth child lifted the lid, he knelt in front of the hall calmly, and never said a word, as if this fold was not played by him, he was waiting, waiting for Yinzuo to make a move.
The old man Kangxi looked at the ministers who knelt down in the main hall, did not say anything, smiled, looked at Zhang Tingyu who was silent, and said, "Hengchen, tell me your opinion." ”
Zhang Tingyu just suffered an unwarranted disaster, he was even more cautious when he was originally cautious, and he didn't plan to speak, but when the old man Kangxi asked, he could only step forward and say: "The minister thinks that Lord Ma's words are feasible, but there seems to be something wrong with it, and the minister can't figure it out for a while, so I respectfully ask the emperor to make a holy judgment." ”
Hey, that's all said and done, it's our turn to play. Yinzuo strode out and said: "Huang Ama, the son has a book to play." ”
