Chapter 222: The Right to Contain Coins and Debate the History of the Students

Open the Yellow River and the Jing River embankment and irrigate it in the fields.

Yang Jing felt that this was really good. This was much simpler than the one who immigrated to Dongting Lake. The most important thing is that there are precedents and has been doing it all the time. It only needs to expand the scale, which is much simpler than immigrating to Dongting Lake.

"You guys, don't you have any objections?" Yang Jingwei decided to cut the mess quickly. This thing is worth doing, so let's do it.

Court officials, look at me, I look at you, no one has any objections to this matter. If Xu Guangqi had not moved millions of immigrants to the south, then the suggestion of this small immigrant to open the Yellow River and Jinghe River embankment to the fields is worth mentioning. This small immigrant may send an imperial envoy to fight, but now there is no meaning. The million immigrants in front are too fat, and this small immigrant with tens of thousands of people is really not good.

"It's good if you don't have any opinions, then this matter will be decided. Let's merge it together after the overall plan for disaster relief and immigration in the future." Yang Jing quickly handled this matter.

The ministers had no objection, and the matter passed like this.

"Okay, is there any trouble with the Qing family?" Yang Jing felt very annoyed. It's not the right to mint the coin. Now, it's time to mint the coin right. He has a lot of things, but he still expects to make some money to do it.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."

"What's the matter, say!"

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty has changed the reign and ascended the throne. According to the rules, new coins are needed to be minted to the people of the world and let all the people know your Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty, I suggest that new coins be issued." The minister finally said what Yang Jing wanted to hear.

Yang Jie was secretly happy, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, and said, "You guys, let me tell me."

"I believe that if Your Majesty ascends the throne and changes the original state, the new emperor should have a new atmosphere. It is natural to cast new coins. It is indeed true, and I agree." Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up for the emperor.

Many other ministers also nodded. This is indeed a great right of the new emperor, and this is almost not worth discussing.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that the trend of private casting in various places is very strong, and the inverted copper coins are rough and rotten, and the people complain. I think that this has seriously corrupted the court's principles and ruined the prestige of the court. I think that it should be strictly rectified and completely restored the prestige of our dynasty coins. Now it is the time when Your Majesty minted new coins. I think that it should be rectified and relieved the suffering of the people of our Ming Dynasty." A minister also stood up and told the chaos of coins minting in various places in the Ming Dynasty. He hoped to use the emperor's issuance of new coins this time to completely solve it.

"Your Majesty, I agree. I think that over the years, Wei Ni has been rampant and made money, which has led to the corruption of coins and cannot be dealt with. I am fully patient with Your Majesty's wiseness... Wei Ni obeys the law, it is time to correct the origin and restore justice to the people of the world." A minister asked about the matter and brought the problem of making money into pieces, which put Wei Zhongxian on the head.

Now, when it comes to Wei Zhongxian, the people in the court cannot stop. Wei Zhongxian has harmed many people. Now, many people have regained their posts and returned to the court. They hate Wei Zhongxian's party to the core. When they see someone mention Wei Zhongxian, they are angry and come out to curse. There are many people in this court who have something to do with Wei Zhongxian and should have stepped down. However, Yang Jing left many of them to balance the court situation. In order to separate the relationship with Wei Zhongxian, these people even sternly cursed.

In a few seconds, the chaos of coin became a cause for the Wei Party, turning into a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beaten. Yang Jing looked at it and found it funny. This matter was too easy, so many people were entrusted?

"Since that's the case, the coin minting is indeed important and urgent. It should be corrected and it is urgent to rectify the source. Then... the coin minting is subject to the responsibility of that yamen?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the minting of coins. There is a Baoquan Bureau under the Ministry of Revenue, which is specialized in minting coins. Each province has a monies, and all the money bureaus can mint coins." The Minister of Revenue came out and answered the question.

"Since the Ministry of Revenue is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue and the Baoquan Bureau is responsible, then the Baoquan Bureau will come up with a rectification method, and then submit it to me after deliberation. This matter should be as soon as possible. I hope to see a solution as soon as possible. Do you understand? There are mint bureaus in each province? There are too many? No wonder the coins are so rough and bad now, and the people are complaining. This, the Ministry of Revenue, Baoquan Bureau has to think of a solution, do you understand?" Yang Jing took the opportunity and settled the minting rights of the coin and the preliminary work. Next, he is preparing to issue silver coins.

"I obey the order." The Minister of Revenue agreed.

The coin minting finally came to an end. Yang Jie sighed relieved. The next court affairs were no longer important, some trivial matters.

After the court came, Yang Jingcai said to Wang Chengen: "Great companion, go and invite the two masters to Wenhua Palace, and Bi Ziyan." The fact today is really bad. If you didn't communicate with him in advance, Xu Guangqi made such a big plan.

After a while, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan came to Wenhua Palace.

Yang Jingwei just sat down.

After the three of them met.

Yang Jingwei couldn't wait to ask: "Master Xu, why don't you communicate with me about such a big thing? I'm really passive."

Xu Guangqi also looked helpless and explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not that I did not report to Your Majesty in advance, but there was no sign in advance! I don't know why someone proposed to provide disaster relief in advance? This is also helpless. My plan to provide disaster relief and immigration has many incomplete areas. I originally planned to report this to Your Majesty after his coin minting power is clear. Where did I know that someone asked for disaster relief in advance, I was caught off guard!" Xu Guangqi looked aggrieved.

"Ah! This is not what Master Xu asked for?" Yang Jingwei said in a verbal way. Yang Jingwei always thought that this was asked for by Xu Guangqi. Now, Yang Jingwei wondered who is so immoral and makes trouble!

Xu Guangqi was very ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of talking about this matter now! I originally planned to wait for Your Majesty to recover the coins and then talk to Your Majesty about the immigration relief. Because I found that using twenty taels of silver and twenty silver coins could save a lot of money. Therefore, I think it would be better to wait until Your Majesty's coins were settled before discussing the matter with Your Majesty. Where can I know..." Xu Guangqi felt quite wronged. This was really a mess. Originally, Xu Guangqi thought that he would wait for the emperor's coins to be settled, and then directly use the emperor's silver coins as the cost of resettlement of immigration. In this way, the resettlement fee of the twenty taels of silver alone could save a lot.

When Yang Jie heard this, he made sense. Yes, this matter must be arranged after minting coins, which can save a lot of money. So, who mentioned this matter in the court today? Coincidence?

Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is a coincidence. I am afraid that someone has received reports from various places and thinks that the matter is urgent. It is also a kind heart. It is not a matter of sincere detriment to Your Majesty."

Yang Jie thought about it and thought that this might be a coincidence.

Although Xu Guangqi was shocking in the court today, creating the first fatal fellow in the Chongzhen Dynasty for the court, he was extremely unhappy and had countless injustices to express his grievances, saying: "Your Majesty, after minting disaster relief, minting all the silver coins into silver coins can save 10% of the cost. I originally planned to spend 10 million, but if all silver coins were used, it would only cost nine million. Therefore, I think that the matter of minting must be stepped up..."

Xu Guangqi was full of grievances and vomited out this statement. This obvious right to mint coins was preferred over disaster relief, because if silver coins were used for this disaster relief, the silver coins could save 10% of the money, and he would not miss this opportunity. He once again reiterated from the side that he did not ask for advance disaster relief in the court. This matter involved his impression in the emperor's mind, and had to be repeated.

Yang Jing nodded. The use of silver coins for disaster relief can indeed save 10% of the money. Xu Guangqi will never let go of such a good thing. So, who did the advance disaster relief in the court? It made him so embarrassed and depressed?

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, since the advance disaster relief is a foregone conclusion, I think it's better to consider how to provide disaster relief in advance first." Sun Chengzong came out to smooth things out again. The advance disaster relief made a little estrangement between the emperor and Xu Guangqi. Sun Chengzong decided to eliminate this estrangement. Xu Guangqi was still very fond of his work.

"Well, indeed, it's time to discuss how to immigrate and disaster relief. This is ahead of schedule, and it's just right. Otherwise, if it's too late, I'm afraid that the imperial edict will delay too much time on the road and cannot catch up with disaster relief, which would be bad." Yang Jing no longer pursued this matter. This may be a coincidence. The key to discussion now is the issue of immigration resettlement and disaster relief. This issue involves too much and too big. Yang Jing has not yet considered it comprehensively.

"Your Majesty, you won't be able to catch up. Didn't your Majesty ask me to prepare in advance? I have already asked someone to spend tens of thousands of taels of taels in Jiangnan and reserve a lot of food. This, as long as your Majesty's order, the food I reserved can be transported to Shaanxi as the first batch of disaster relief grains." Xu Guangqi said.

"Well, very good, I'm not worried about this. I'm afraid I can't catch up with disaster relief. Now with Master Xu, I'm much more at ease." Yang Jinggui's nobleman forgot about his affairs and forgot about the fact that he had asked Xu Guangqi to prepare food in advance.

"Since Master Xu has already made a reservation, then let's get lucky." Yang Jing secretly regretted that he had calculated the wrong time and had passed the lunar calendar as the Gregorian calendar. Now in mid-May, the imperial edict quickly whips to the south to issue orders, and then mobilizes grain to transport it to Shaanxi. This takes a long time, and the grain harvest is in June, a month and a half, and can barely catch up. Yang Jing was extremely anxious. He wished that the grain from Jiangnan would be transported immediately.

"Your Majesty, I only paid some deposit for the food I reserved. If this is to extract food, I am afraid of it..." Xu Guangqi said carefully.

Yang Jing lamented, it’s money! A penny stumped the hero. If you don’t have money, even the emperor wouldn’t think about it. Those who should eat pickled vegetables and those who should drink porridge. The emperor is rich in the world. In theory, the world belongs to the emperor, but buying food requires money. This, I have to say, who is so irresponsible to fool the emperor. This is an obvious truth that cannot be explained.

"How much does it cost?" Yang Jingang asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, some of them have given 30% of the deposit, while others have given only 10% of them. In total, they are afraid that they will need hundreds of thousands of silver..." Xu Guangqi said in a low voice.

"Then give the money..." Yang Jing did not think of anything and said directly that the idea of ​​buying things and giving money has long penetrated into Yang Jing's mind. Yang Jing did not expect his imperial edict to be sent to Shaanxi, and countless foods in the world would be automatically sent to Shaanxi. That was unrealistic. The emperor had no money, could not pay wages, and could not pay military pay, so he should be hanged in Coal Mountain.

"Your Majesty, I am planning to use silver for this batch now. However, if you pay a lot in the future, I am afraid that the silver coins will be built as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will pay with all of them with silver or notes, and you will be afraid that it will cost more." Xu Guangqi was very worried. When will he be able to use silver coins? One silver coin saves 10% of the silver. This account is cost-effective no matter how you calculate it. Unfortunately, this batch of grain cannot keep up with silver coins. Otherwise, you can save tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Oh...yes! I also know that I should push out this silver coin as soon as possible and prohibit the direct circulation of silver. However, after all, the distance cannot save the near fire!..." Yang Jing also knew that paying with silver coin would be much cheaper, but this batch of grain would not be able to catch up! There was nothing I could do, so I could only sigh.

"By the way, Master Xu, Master Xu has specific candidates for this immigration plan? How should he implement it? This involves a million people, several provinces, dozens or hundreds of prefectures and counties. If there are fewer people, I am afraid that it will not work!" Yang Jing was most worried about this kind of project. How can he execute it without a reliable execution team? He was afraid that he would not be able to pay for the Ministry of Revenue and would be divided up.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task..." Xu Guangqi is ready to do this matter himself.

After hearing what Xu Guangqi said, Yang Jing did not make any noise. Yang Jing did not know what reason to keep the drafter of the immigration plan by his side and prevent him from doing this.

"My idea is to send students from the Imperial College like Taizu immigrated to the past, or recruit students from local county schools, prefecture schools and other schools. Only in this way can we be able to organize and implement such a huge plan." Xu Guangqi briefly introduced his thoughts.

The Imperial College Students? Students from schools in various places? Yang Jing hesitated and was depressed. There are many Imperial College Students. I am afraid that it has exceeded a thousand, so I organized them to experience things in advance... In theory, this is feasible and can indeed solve the problem of insufficient manpower, but the problem has also come. It turns out that there are only a hundred people in the Imperial College Students, and even fewer people are qualified to experience things. More of the guys who borrowed usury these days. If they borrowed usury the day before, they would be able to go out to experience things the next day... This... Yang Jing himself thought that this was too naked, and he didn't do this by selling official porridge! He had to study in the Imperial College for a few days.

Seeing the emperor's face full of melancholy, Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty, I am worried that the prison students have just entered the prison and have experienced things. Some people are talking about gossip in the court?"

Yang Jing nodded. Isn’t this obvious? I just paid the money to be imprisoned the first genius and could go to experience things the next day. Isn’t this obvious using money to buy an official? Who wouldn’t say that after seeing it!

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter. I think that most of the new prisoners are from juren, who are juren, and can be officials themselves. If disasters are coming today, the court wants to save thousands of people from the fire and water, it is a great merit and good governance for countless living people. It should be a time to serve the court. This is absolutely fine." Xu Guangqi expressed his opinion again. This matter depends on how you think about it. You think that you can take the silver to prison on the day and experience the next day. This is also a matter of selling official positions. However, from a different perspective, the court saves millions of people is of great significance, not to mention that others are juren with fame and fame. Even if they become officials immediately, there is nothing to say.

After being enlightened by Xu Guangqi, Yang Jie felt much more depressed.

Sun Chengzong added another fire to Yang Jing and said, "Your Majesty, in extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things. It is better to save all people from water and fire than anything else. You should make a quick decision on this matter."

"Yes, the two masters make sense. I understand. That's it. Summon the Imperial College students and experience the work in advance. What kind of treatment would it be when you experience it? For example, what kind of treatment would it be given to a certain rank of officials?" Yang Jing made up his mind and now he can only do this. Otherwise, where can I find thousands of educated people?

"Report to Your Majesty, as for the treatment, these early students have no official status, and they are just sent to the office. Only after completing the experience, they will be granted official positions." Xu Guangqi explained again.

"No rank? I think, can I give the supervisory student a ninth rank official treatment or something? Note that it is just treatment and no substantial official position. This will make the supervisory student work harder. What does Master Xu think?" Yang Jing knew that this incident was roughly the same as the training of the post in later generations. The official position training in the 21st century itself has a level, such as enjoying a certain treatment or something. Yang Jing also prepared to learn how to copy and enjoy a certain treatment.

"Enjoy the treatment of a ninth-rank official?" Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan and others were inexplicably aware of why the emperor came up with this move.

Soon, Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not possible. This official is an official. Once Your Majesty opens his mouth and gives these ninth-rank officials to treat these ninth-rank officials, these ninth-rank officials will definitely become lazy. Moreover, once an official is an official, he will not be qualified in the future, will he have to take back the official rank? Your Majesty, these rules of this matter have always been just sent. Only those who are qualified in the affairs will be appointed to the officials. In this way, all the affairs will be born and done with peace of mind..." Xu Guangqi opposed the emperor's idea. If this is the case, the Ming Dynasty will suddenly have thousands of more than a few thousand ninth-rank officials. How is that? The reputation of the court selling official positions is completely confirmed. Of course, I didn't dare to tell the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I also think that this method is inappropriate." Sun Chengzong also opposed this matter. He really couldn't make any comments on it. He wholesales thousands of ninth-rank officials. This historical book would probably write a few of them as typical examples of selling official positions and become "celebrities" in history. Sun Chengzong didn't want to enjoy this treatment.

Bi Ziyan also saw the reputation and said, "Your Majesty, you must not break the rules. It is better to follow the old rules." Bi Ziyan was also afraid! It is better not to live in his own hands about wholesale of thousands of official hats, otherwise if he knew about the censors, he would be finished.
