Married to an old emperor Section 150

Now, exchanging bad money, balancing the coin market, and regaining the people's trust in the imperial court to issue coins is a more important thing than the value of the money itself.

So finally there was such an opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, she didn't even want silver, only recovered copper coins.

Who are you going to talk to about this?

Of course, it's Zhu Erchi .

Honglu Temple is in charge of diplomatic affairs, and he is so neat that he doesn't send anyone to send.

In the past few days, Zhu Erchi has been injured by Raid Hongrui again, and Raid Hongrui's attitude of "listening is listening, but not really listening at all" is even more hurtful than Emperor Chongwen.

Emperor Chongwen at least got angry when he heard it, as if what he said was indeed output, but Xi Hongrui didn't even breathe, listened directly, and jumped to the next link as if nothing happened.

Zhu Erchi, who felt as if he was farting, fell into a tug-of-war with Xi Hongrui's resignation, until this day, when Xi Hongrui assigned him this task.

Xi Hongrui looked at him and sighed helplessly before him: "Lord Zhu, don't blame the concubine for ignoring your words recently, it's just that thimbles and mallets have their own uses, and this is where you should shine." ”

Zhu Erchi: ......

So is he a thimble or a mallet?

But now is not the time to think about this, and Buluo is really a character, so he quickly forced Beirong to the negotiating table.

Zhu Erchi has not experienced this kind of occasion once or twice, so he said bluntly: the land of three states, 100,000 horses, and 200,000 taels of silver.

Beijon negotiator: Huh? are you going to heaven ?

Beirong, who has always occupied a dominant position at the negotiating table, has never suffered such a great humiliation, and they have slapped the table and roared angrily.

Zhu Erchi was very calm, okay, if you don't want to talk about it, let's go talk to Don't need Luo, he said, as long as you help him to attack you on both sides, not only give us the above things every year, but also allow us to divide you with him.

This is because we have been in a good position before, and it is for the sake of many years of good friends that we give priority to talking to you, and if you don't want to talk, we also have others to talk about.

Beijung: !

Don't Luo was originally a Houxian person, the black fire army under his command, the grassland is famous, and now the Beirong royal court has lost two levels, and the black fire army has been suppressed, and Bei Luo finally can't bear it, and he rises up, establishes the Great Xian Kingdom, and establishes himself as the king.

And when he joined such an army, the tribes that were originally oppressed by Beirong also rebelled one after another, and it was a success for a while, and the Beirong royal division was defeated and retreated.

Now that there are wolves and tigers, Beirong can no longer afford to support a two-front battle, so peace talks with Daqi are the best choice, but the "New Year's coin" that Daqi wants is not too much......

After fierce discussions between the two sides, an agreement was finally reached: six cities, 50,000 horses, and 500,000 copper coins, and at the same time, it was recognized that the land of the six states that had been defeated by the Great Qi was originally owned by the Great Qi, and the land of the dozen states that had not been defeated was also owned by the Great Qi.

But now that Beirong is at war, it can't afford to lose the granaries of those dozen states, so it will borrow a few years from Daqi for the time being, and pay it back after the war.

Although everyone knows that the argument of borrowing land is so cheating can not be believed, as long as the agreement is agreed verbally, the meaning will be very different, so when Zhu Erchi returns, Xi Hongrui will be crazy and will not want to reward him.

Zhu Erchi: ......

Although he tried his best to fight for Hongrui's request, he still wanted to force a sentence: "The three kingdoms are fighting against each other, and since the weak are united to resist the strong, why should we help Beirong fight the newly rising Houxian?" ”

Raid Red Rui: ......

Looking at her familiar expression, Zhu Erchi suddenly closed his mouth skillfully, okay, don't force it.

In any case, he could only negotiate the matter of land reparations in the past, but now he can finally take the initiative, and all these changes are caused by the queen mother.

Perhaps in her eyes, there is indeed a landscape that he cannot see, she is a thimble, and he is just a mallet......

Seeing that the mallet shut up, Xi Hongrui finally withdrew her gaze.

The weak are strong and strong, who is weak and who is strong, is Beirong strong?

Speaking of which, Beirong and Daqi, two good neighbors, have been dependent on each other for hundreds of years, what does this mean?

This means that they are all old.

It is rare for a person to live for 70 years, and a country has lived for hundreds of years, and it has also reached the age of ancient rarity, and at this time, it will become sick if outsiders do not attack it.

A newly born country may seem weak, but it has the advantage that it can simply burn everything to the ground, and then in the ashes, a new young and strong existence is born.

And an old country, every time it wields a knife and digs a sore on its own body, all the organs on that old body will scream miserably, so who do you say is weak and who is strong?

In fact, there is no need for Luo to really send people to talk to Daqi, but the talk is not about carving up Beirong, but about being willing to give away the remaining dozen or so states of Daqi.

Daqi's heart disease for hundreds of years is this, and the conditions are indeed very attractive.

But if it is really annexed by Houxian, it will be Houxian who directly borders Daqi, and Daqi, who is as old as Beirong, can he do this ambitious hungry wolf?

The simplest thing is between Khuhar and Besuro, who to choose as the opponent, do you need to say?

It is very simple to fight a foreign war, but it is very complicated to fight a civil war, so Xi Hongrui wants to let Beirong have no worries and concentrate on fighting Houxian.

And what is she going to do at this time?

Of course, it was the flesh stripping therapy that created it, and the disadvantages of Daqi's internal affairs were far better than external troubles, and when Beirong and Houxian fought each other, it was her best opportunity to develop and rectify herself.

More than a dozen states are strategically important, and if you think that others will tell you to give it to you, it is impossible for Beirong to give it, and it is naturally impossible for Houxian to give it away.

Therefore, of course, the land of the dozen or so states must be recovered, but it cannot be brought back by lip service, nor can it be brought back by negotiation and agreement, but can only be brought back by oneself!

Therefore, after the peace talks and the confirmation that there was no war, Xi Hongrui began to do his own thing.

Now that peace talks have been held, there is no need to suppress so many troops at the border gates, and now we will start to secure the army in batches and fulfill the promise of dividing the fields.

At this time, the crops planted by the former northern people were also down, and they were used to labor the army.

It was impossible for the border passes to be defended all at once, so the method of rotating duty was adopted, and the families of these soldiers were gradually taken over.

Looking at the newly harvested millet, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum, those who came to join the army because they couldn't survive were going to crack their mouths with laughter.

Now that I have a house, a land, and a field, I might even be able to marry a daughter-in-law!

From then on, they can be regarded as living a normal life, and they have not wasted their hard work on the battlefield!

The price of dividing the land is that the conscription system will be restarted from now on, and they will be military households in the future, and they will not be paid military salaries when they are warned, but they are still very satisfied, after all, what can be more at ease than guarding their own one-third of an acre!

The queen said that these fields are not allowed to be plundered by others, nor are they allowed to be resold by themselves, so they will always be theirs, and the imperial court is also exempt from taxes for three years, so these grains are all theirs.

With so many things, who still cares about the melons and two dates issued by the army, they all say that the queen mother is the Wenqu Xingjun who came into the world, and they really believe it!

Hundreds of thousands of troops were disarmed and returned to the fields, and the raid on Hongrui also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Where land annexation is prohibited in the north, it is also necessary to deal with the places in the south where land annexation is permitted.

Because of the shortage of labor, there were indeed many southern landlords who were unable to manage the land and were bought by the northerners.

The important thing is that the law on the protection of hired peasants is really being implemented in earnest, but it is not so much a law on the protection of hired peasants as it is a census of the floating population.

Yang Hongyi's detailed approach to this was to recommend the "Correct Law of Servitude," that is, to set up a servant in the group of laborers, just like Lizheng, and the servants had the right to connect with the government, and all the proletarian laborers in that area were compiled by him and reported to the newly opened envoys.

Once it becomes a large-scale group, it will inevitably become corrupt, which is inevitable, but if you don't become a group, you can't fight against another group, so Xi Hongrui agreed.

However, it is added that this service is being changed every year, and the new service needs to be selected in public by anonymous voting of the labor service in the jurisdiction.

Moreover, from now on, the system of death deeds will be completely abolished, no more private slaves will be allowed, no more children will be allowed to have children, and all proletarians will be returned to the ranks of servitude.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of compiling labor to do a national census, she also took this opportunity to see how many feats of employing a thousand people per acre of land.

In the spring of the next year, a batch of new recruits will be examined, and it just so happens that they will all follow the little fat Tanhua to the front line to do the census!

Yang Hongyi looked at Xi Hongrui, and finally knew where the difference between this boss was, she was not only a woman, but also a low-level slave, so she looked at the problem from a different angle than everyone else.

However, Yang Hongyi thought about it carefully, and every one of her decisions really fell on the root of the problem, perhaps if she wants to straighten a big tree, she should not prune it from its branches and leaves, but should correct it from the root.

But he was tempted to ask, what if someone stopped him?

After thinking about it, I really asked.

Xi Hongrui raised her head and glanced at Yang Hongyi, and couldn't help but smile.

At the beginning, she took a fancy to Yang Hongyi at a glance, because he and she were exactly the same person, and people like them were most likely to become Xiao Nanshan or Lin Yuyuan.

Xi Hongrui has always understood Xiao Nanshan very well, she knows why he is so greedy, because he is not greedy, and no one does things for him.

To a certain extent, he also understands Lin Zuoyuan, who chose to be a clear stream, and lost his ability to execute like an arm, and he had to use extraordinary means to gain the right to speak.

And what did she choose?

She doesn't choose any of them, for a person who has been reborn once and has another world, she doesn't have to make her look so ugly.

Becoming Lin Zuoyuan means that it is difficult to grasp the actual rights, and becoming Xiao Nanshan means that you must allow the use of filth to raise even greater filth until it is completely submerged in filth.

And she has such extraordinary strength that she can actually hold both honey and steel knives.

So she can always kill a batch with a batch!

……

As soon as she took the position, she barely left time for everyone to react, and she smashed one decision after another, without anyone questioning her power at all.

But because of the capture of Yanping, now the old emperor ostensibly regards her as his wife, but in fact treats her as his own mother, and listens to her for everything.

And because of the currency exchange, the common people also regarded her as a queen on the surface, but in fact they were Wenqu Xingjun, and they listened to her for everything.

Originally, she was still counting on her to do such a big thing as the national debt, and she might have overturned, but she really didn't do it, and the next year, the first phase of the national debt was all repaid.

With such a good start, coupled with such a rebellious thing as exchanging bad money, the people's trust in her was unprecedented, so even when she began to issue silver bills, no one cared.

In order to prevent counterfeiting, at the beginning, they were made of large denominations, and were only used for large-scale commercial trade silver tickets.

In the process of exchanging inferior money, she opened banking commissions in various places and incorporated many local bank accounts, so that it was really convenient for merchants who needed large transactions to withdraw money.

And every time she can really withdraw the cash with the silver ticket, the recognition rate of the silver ticket is getting higher and higher, and in this way, when she repays the next treasury bond, she can use the silver ticket to repay.

Of course, her actual silver reserves also began to surge because of the silver ticket, so if you let her get real silver, she will have to pay it back.

In this way, there is really no way to fight her, and she almost holds the silver veins of the whole country in her hands.

And because of her immoral service and the census, although the expenditure of the state treasury skyrocketed, taxes also skyrocketed.

Those big households did not expect this at all, and there was no way to explain the huge loophole of employing 1,000 people per acre of land, so they had to re-apply for land.

As a result, guess what, after the account is reported, the first time the income exceeds the expenditure, although it is not counted as a national debt, but who are you looking for to reason!

The financial income is there, and no one dares to fart blindly now, and after Xi Hongrui once again used the old emperor's private treasury to settle the national debt, he looked at them with a smile and wanted to pay it back.

……

In this way, the finances are getting better and better, and Beirong is also determined to break out a big and small queen with Hou Xian, and Xi Hongrui called her eldest brother and General Deng back.

When the great heroes who recovered Yanping returned to Beijing, the people of Daqi immediately welcomed them, and the cheers shook the sky.

Not only were the people so excited, but Emperor Chongwen was also about to die, and together with Xi Hongrui, he personally ran out to greet him.

You're back! Let's see, who else can oppose him now!
