Chapter 237 Happy Father-in-law
Chapter 237: Grandpa Xi
Yang Jing did not expect to make money from minting copper coins. He wanted to make money, but all he relied on silver coins. However, the minting of this silver coins was really an astronomical figure, with one or two million mintings. Yang Jing didn't know where to find it now.
"Report to Your Majesty, this is the matter of casting..." Bi Ziyan didn't mention any pot. The emperor was worried about the matter of casting. Bi Ziyan still brought up the matter of casting. Without casting, he would not think of making this silver coin.
"What is the capital of the Ministry of Revenue?" Yang Jing pulled his head.
"Return to Your Majesty, I will cast copper coins. The Ministry of Revenue has nearly 80,000 taels of minted silver coins. There is no precedent for this, I don't know..." Bi Ziyan didn't know who made the minted money for this two million. Anyway, the Ministry of Revenue has no money now.
"There are already copper coins mintings. How much can the Ministry of Revenue take out the silver coins now?" Yang Jingwei asked.
"...Report to Your Majesty, if the minted silver coins are to meet His Majesty's requirements, there will be 100 million yuan per year, and the minted silver is afraid that the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to afford silver coins. It is probably the limit." Bi Ziyan explained carefully. According to the current intention of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue will get 10% of the silver coins, and the minted silver coins can only be 10%. Therefore, 200,000 taels is the upper limit. Bi Ziyan is just the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and there is a minister on it. It is not easy to add this minted bank alone. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue does not have money. The 200,000 yuan is the amount of money that the Ministry of Revenue gets. If it is placed in the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue, it will be a starving rat to death.
"Twenty-hundred thousand? Just two hundred thousand. I'll find ways to mint coins. From now on, I'll leave the two capitals in the north and south. All the others will be withdrawn. By the way, this Baoquan Bureau is specialized in minting coins. Now this silver coins are minted. I remember that the Baoquan Bureau's rank is only the ninth grade. Let me mention the eighth grade. What's the name of the Baoquan Bureau? Let him do it well and do the coin well, and you can also improve his grade." Yang Jingjie said.
"Report to Your Majesty, the ambassador of Baoquan Bureau, he is called Ma Zhide." Bi Ziyan replied.
"Okay, it's him, this person, who still has some ability, let him do it well." Yang Jing remembered that there was such a person who was a little bit of affair. Although he was a little bit of affair, he had a lot of abilities. He also had some ability. He minted silver coins for himself overnight, and he was a person worth cultivating.
"I obey the order. Will the Baoquan Bureau be set up in Nanjing? What is the level? Please decide." Bi Ziyan agreed and asked again. Bi Ziyan thought to himself that Ma Zhide had not known the blessings he had cultivated in that life, but was attracted by the emperor. You must know that the coins, the silver coins in his hand were over 100 million, and how many people had this idea. Even in the cabinet, some people reached out to the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue, hoping to get a hand in the Baoquan Bureau. They originally thought that Ma Zhide's position would be unstable. They knew that Ma Zhide had already reached the emperor and had a title with the emperor. This position was even more stable. They would have to help him in the future, and he was still his own person.
"Where is a Nanjing? Well, we should also set up a Baoquan Bureau, which is under the jurisdiction of the Baoquan Bureau of Beijing. The grade is slightly lower. I have also sent two supervisors from the north and south to supervise the casting of silver coins. The casting of silver coins is really too hot. I am afraid that a small eighth-rank official will not be able to bear the spot..." Yang Jinge said.
The emperor sent his internal ministers to supervise the local area. This was definitely not a news, and they should not be controlled by foreign ministers. Bi Ziyan did not make any statement.
Halfway through Yang Jing's talk, I won't say that his two confidants, one Erxizi and the other Xiaoshunzi, were sent out, but they were given 100,000 taels of silver each, plus the Ministry of Revenue, each of them was only 200,000 taels of silver. This amount of silver was less than 200,000 taels of silver. However, Yang Jing had no choice but to force them to do it first and let them find a way for themselves. Yang Jing set a dead goal. Within a year, they could not achieve 100 million goals. They came to see each other and completed it. In the future, they would be Zhu Youjian's absolute confidant in the future. Even if they go to the West to be the Xuanfu Envoy. If they die in the future, they will find a place in the imperial tomb and enjoy sacrifices forever. Yang Jing was forced by money. There was no way, they could only force their eunuchs, hoping that these two eunuchs would create miracles for themselves.
Bi Ziyan finished speaking when he saw that the emperor had finished speaking, so he continued to report on his work.
"Report to Your Majesty, the period for the use of new money is three years. In the future, the court will only allow the use of newly minted money from the court to pay. After three years, the use of silver will not be allowed to pay. Your Majesty, do you think this time is enough?" Bi Ziyan said again.
"A three-year transition period?" Yang Jingwei had no capital for minting. He still didn't know whether he could complete a minting volume of 100 million pieces in a year. Even if there were minting volumes of minting, the silver coins were probably not enough. The total economic output of the Ming Dynasty would never be only 100 million.
"Three years are three years, but the proportion of use must be gradually increased. In the first year, 20% of the tax must be paid with the imperial court's money. In the second year, 40% must be used, 30% must be used, 60% must be used in the third year. In the fourth year, the direct circulation of silver is prohibited." Yang Jingying thought about it and established laws and regulations.
"I obey the order." Bi Ziyan responded again.
It was very pleasant to say the Dharma casually, but it couldn't bring any pleasure. The emperor Yang Jiewei was also depressed, causing dizziness for these messy things all day long, and was trapped in hard thinking all day long.
Erxizi is the nickname of Erxizi in the palace. There are not many people who dare to call this name now. When I was a little eunuch, people often called it. However, since I collected the emperor's penalties, there have been only a few people calling it. For example, the emperor likes to call him Erxizi. Now, he is also known as the Shaoguan, a celebrity in front of the emperor.
Erxizi was "driven" out of the palace by the emperor yesterday, rushed to Tongzhou overnight, went up the canal, and prepared to go straight to Jiangnan to prepare and supervise the casting of silver coins. This road was chosen by Erxizi himself. He and Xiao Shunzi promised the emperor that minting 100 million silver coins each year. This matter was not a problem with the ability of the Ming Dynasty to mint coins. However, the difficulty lies in the lack of many minting books. The emperor only gave 100,000 taels of minting costs. This is not all minting costs. Nanjing has to reopen the Baoquan Bureau, which requires more than a few minting costs, so there will be even fewer actual minting costs. Logically speaking, it is difficult to mint coins in the south than in the north, but Erxizi still chose the south. Erxizi believed that he had chosen the wrong choice.
The only ones who came with the same boat were two confidant eunuchs, who said they were little eunuchs, but in fact, Erxizi was only one or two years older than them.
In addition, it is the Jinyiwei who is responsible for protecting the safety of silver.
I arrived in Tongzhou overnight and got on the boat. Erxizi didn't get up until noon the next day. I was so tired last night.
Zhu Dali was responsible for escorting the security guards of this batch of silver. He had a beard on his face and looked like a martial artist. He was a deputy Qianjia. He was sent to escort the bank in a very urgent manner. He didn't even say goodbye to his wife and children. It is said that there were 100,000 taels. At the same time, there was a celebrity in front of the emperor, Eunuch Xi and Zhu Dali had been a deputy Qianjia for a while. He had always wanted to become a regular and become a regular Qianjia. Unfortunately, one was not in his hands. Secondly, this position was limited, one thousand households had three or four deputy Qianjia. It was difficult for him to make a name for himself. However, he felt that this business trip was an opportunity. Eunuch Xi was a celebrity in front of the emperor. It is said that he was very good at making money and got two or three million taels of silver for the emperor. Those officials involved in the Wei case flattered him, just called him father, in order to pay less money.
"Oh... Master Xi, you are so strong! This sun is just right, you are here to bask in the sun! Sitting, sitting, sitting..." Zhu Dali had been guarding outside Master Xi's door for a long time, preparing to have a good relationship with the celebrities around the emperor.
Erxizi is the current Eunuch Xi. With a longer status, his identity has changed. In the past, others called Erxizi, but now others called him Eunuch Xi.
"Haha, General Zhu! You're so early! Come, come, come, sit together." Eunuch Xi also greeted with a smile.
This boat is an official boat with a second floor and a platform on it, which is specially designed to enjoy the scenery along the coast on the platform. There is a table and several stools on it.
"Haha, Eunuch Xi is a top-notch, the smallest one is a small deputy thousand-householder from the fifth rank. Where is the right person to sit in front of Eunuch Xi? It would be better to stand." Zhu Dali looked flattering. This Eunuch Xi was a sign of the Shaoguan, and the Shaoguan was a high-ranking official from the fourth rank. His deputy thousand-householder was a long distance away from others. What's more, others were a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he was even more "instructor" who served as a "intentional envoy" for the emperor, which was even more incomparable.
"Haha, General Zhu is so polite, then our family won't be polite." Eunuch Xi didn't say much, sat on the chair on the second floor of the boat, enjoying the scenery along the coast.
Zhu Dali stood aside and waited with his hands hanging down.
"Haha, the official is prone to ask Mr. Xi, what is his job to send Mr. Xi to Jiangnan this time?" Zhu Dali began to inquire.
"...Application?..." Eunuch Xi said expressionlessly. After saying a few words, there was no further text. When talking about errands, Erxizi was also gambled. Now the emperor is in a hurry for the money and needs someone to stand up. In this way, in the eyes of the emperor, these eunuchs are useful, they will be seen by the emperor, and they will be looked up to the emperor in front of others. Therefore, Erxizi took on such a seemingly impossible task. He wanted to improve his status in the emperor's mind by proving his own value. After this burden, he began to consider how to do this well, and he had no idea.
"Haha, what's the hard work of my father-in-law? If there is a place where you can use your subordinates, your subordinates will do their best. If your father-in-law doesn't dislike you, you still have some relatives in the south and you know them well, but you can recommend them to your father-in-law. If your father-in-law does things, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort..." Zhu Dali didn't care about his image. A bearded man flattered and flattered him in front of a twenty-year-old eunuch, which was disgusting no matter how he looked at it. However, Zhu Dali,
I think this is a good opportunity. Now those who can climb the line of the emperor have developed. For example, Xu Guangqi, Xu Ge Lao, has now become a Buddha of the Wan Family with tens of millions of taels of silver in his hand. If this is done, he will definitely become a great charity who has been famous for all ages! It has made many people drool in their envy. Zhu Dali made up his mind to find opportunities and must climb the line of the emperor. Now a great opportunity is in front of him, and it is impossible to miss it.
When Eunuch Xi heard that this guy had something to do with him, he was a little interested in this guy and said, "Oh? Hehe, General Zhu, tell me what you are familiar with in Jiangnan?" Erxizi really had no clue about the matter he had taken on. Now I heard that this guy has something to do with Jiangnan, and I plan to see if I can help him.
"Haha, father-in-law, the cousin of the wife of Xiaguan, is the chief officer in Nanjing's Ministry of War. A familiar person from Xiaguan, and has experience in Nanjing..." Zhu Dali praised him and introduced his relationship network in the south.
Zhu Dali talked for a long time, but when he saw that Mr. Xi had no expression, he stopped talking. It was obvious that Mr. Xi looked down on him and said a few unnutritious words, and said awkwardly farewell.
After Zhu Dali left, the little eunuch beside Eunuch Xi said, "Dude, this person is too ignorant. The first-class person in charge dares to show off, and he doesn't see what my father-in-law is and when it's his turn to deal with a boss."
"That's right, this person is too eye-catching. My father-in-law is a celebrity around the emperor. He does a big deal for the emperor. He talks about trivial things and can't stand the little people. He is really blind. I'm so stupid..." Another little eunuch didn't bother with such a person.
Eunuch Xi sat on the chair, looking at the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and was very ecstatic, saying, "Haha, don't underestimate people! Our family is now going to Jiangnan to do a job, so we must ask people to help us dream. Now we make more friends, but we can't say that we will use it in the future. The job we are doing now is difficult! It's difficult..." After Eunuch Xi finished speaking, she sighed. The emperor's affairs were very tricky. Although it was very tricky, the reward was quite high. You must know that the Western emissary is the dream of many eunuchs. You must know that it is a great honor to be buried in the imperial tomb if you die.
A little eunuch said, "My father-in-law, I think that even if I want to find someone, I should look for our family members. Jiangnan is not weaving and garrisoning everywhere. If my father-in-law wants to ask for help, he will still ask for his family members to help him. When will it be his turn to introduce a shitty master? What can the master do? I am not afraid of losing my identity as my father-in-law..." The little eunuch's voice was very sharp, and when he spoke, he was like a firecracker, crackling in a bunch.
When Eunuch Xi heard this, her eyebrows relaxed a little and said, "Xiao Yizi, I love to hear what you said, "You are right. Although the things we do this this time are indeed difficult, we have many family members in Jiangnan. At that time, we will visit everywhere. If you can't say it, you will be surprised..." Eunuch Xi felt a little clear-headed when he heard the little eunuch named Xiao Yizi. Yes! The inner officials sent to guard, guard, and weaving everywhere in Jiangnan. They are all the emperor's internal ministers, all for the emperor, and they are all for the emperor. They are their own family, and they are also for the emperor. They ask for some money in one place. I guess, there is no need to be too anxious about this silver. Thinking of this, Eunuch Xi's heart has settled down. So he praised Xiao Yizi a few words.
On the Grand Canal, an official ship carried an eunuch named Xi, running towards Nanjing quickly, and also brought Yang Jing's expectations.
In Wenhua Palace.
Yang Jie was depressed and set the rules for the use of money, and Bi Ziyan also sued.
"Big partner, how much money does it still have in my treasury now?" Yang Jing was unhappy because he had no money. Recently, he spent money too much, with holes everywhere, and he needed to fill it with money everywhere, and his own money was probably going to be bottomed out.
"Report to Your Majesty, now there is not much money in the treasury. Apart from Li Ruolian's money, there is only more than two million taels in the treasury of Your Majesty." Wang Chengen is the chief executive, who manages the emperor's family and knows very well how much money the emperor has.
"hiss……"
More than 2 million taels? Didn’t there be five or six million taels a while ago? Why did it all come to this little money all at once? Yang Jing was very worried. There are so many places to spend money this year.
"Tell me, I used all the places." Yang Jingang only felt that his money was like flowing water.
"Report to Your Majesty, the recent one that Your Majesty promised today would require 350,000 taels of silver to build the fleet; Yesterday, Your Majesty sent Er Xizi and Xiao Shunzi to supervise the construction of the two men, 100,000 taels, which is 200,000 taels per person; Master Xu reserved the food in Jiangnan and had no money to transport it, so Your Majesty gave more than 100,000 taels; Li Ruolian's place was 1.2 million taels; Your Majesty asked Li Zhizao to hire the fleet of the barbarians and paid 100,000 taels before; Your Majesty gave Sun Gu to him to the
