Chapter 1530 Treasure banknotes

In previous years, there were many people who wished Luo Xin a New Year, but there were never so many like this year.x. In previous years, the Luo Mansion only accepted the famous sect, and those who wished him New Year knew that Luo Xin could not receive him, so he just asked the concierge to turn his respect and let Luo Xin know that they had been here.

However, this year is different. They are here to inquire about the news, and Luo Xin also knows their purpose. If they don’t receive it, they will attract people to resent. Not only will it become an obstacle for officials to defect to Luo Xin, but it will also make their own people feel that they are not valued and do not regard him as their own people, and they may turn to others, so they have to receive it.

Since you have been in, you cannot leave after a visit. You must drink something. This is the rule. And you have to let your son Luo Yu come out to pay New Year's greetings, which is the same rule.

Luo Yu was very excited at first because he could receive red envelopes for New Year greetings. However, after only half a day, Luo Yu was so tired. But he had to continue to pay New Year greetings. This is because Luo Yu practiced martial arts since childhood, and when he changed to children from other families, he was exhausted.

After the third year of junior high school, he finally became quiet. Luo Xin also went to Gaogong, Ma Fang and Yan Na to pay a New Year's greetings. Then he thought about how to stop Xinbaochao at home.

After thinking about it for a day, Luo Xin came up with a solution that he was not very sure of. That was to spread the matter of the new treasure banknote in advance. It was said that the money shortage occurred in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were preparing to issue the new treasure banknotes, and the officials' salary would also be paid to them in the future. Moreover, the old treasure banknotes talked about the bad things of the treasure banknotes.

In fact, Luo Xin thought things were complicated, while Zhang Juzheng thought things were simple.

Nowadays, Baochao is already terrible. Not to mention that no one recognizes Baochao, no one recognizes anyone who is next to Baochao. Officials and the people hate Baochao.

What Zhang Juzheng thought was that as long as the court announced the abolition of the old treasure banknotes, then the court issued the new treasure banknotes, and the court promised that the new treasure banknotes would not depreciate, the reputation of the treasure banknotes could be revitalized.

But no one believed it!

Not to mention the common people, even officials could not accept it. At that time, the court sent them treasure money as salary, so that they could not eat enough. Finally, because of Luo Xin's series of measures, the Southern Maritime Bureau, the Northern Market and the North Market, the disarmament, etc., the court's finances improved. Finally, there was no need to open treasure money and get real money. At this time, if you want to use treasure money instead of real money, these officials' resistance was also very huge.

If Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng suddenly took action and then forced orders from top to bottom to get a better start, perhaps the new treasure banknote could still be implemented. However, Luo Xin was exposed in advance, and this would form a rolling wave.

In just a few days, the entire capital was in panic. From officials to the people, everyone immediately fell into panic before they could emerge from the excitement of the New Year.

The court wants to issue new treasure notes?

Does this make people live?

No one knows where this news came from. Lu Cuiqiao is familiar with these things, spreading quickly and widely, and it makes people unable to find the source.

For a moment, every household tightened its money and kept its copper coins at home, and was reluctant to spend it. The situation of money shortage suddenly intensified. Moreover, this panic was spreading from the capital at an extremely fast speed, spreading to the seven north and sixty-three provinces in the south.

The entire officialdom was talking about this, and some officials even went to the cabinet to block the door and asked the cabinet to give a clear explanation.

Now the Ming Dynasty's finances are improving, why did the cabinet make such a perverse strategy? This is to exploit people's wealth and to serve as treacherous ministers.

Gao Gong met the officials who blocked the door in a high profile and said righteously:

"The cabinet does not know about the matter of Xinbaochao and has never discussed it. I don't know where your news comes from?"

"Grade Gao, do you dare to make sure the cabinet does not have this idea here?"

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said, "What I am sure is that the cabinet has never discussed this matter, and I have never heard of it, and I have never had this idea. If it was someone else's idea, I wouldn't know."

"Gemaster Xu, what do you mean by saying, does the cabinet have this idea?"

Xu Jie was really worried. He knew in his heart that the situation of Xinbaochao was already out of reach. Opposition voices had formed a general trend. At this moment, whoever dared to stop the general trend would be crushed to pieces.

Xu Jie was also a decisive person, so he spoke very simply:

"Either I nor the cabinet have ever had this idea. This is a rumor, and it is a rumor with ulterior motives. The cabinet will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Once it is found out who spreads the rumors, it will be severely punished."

Speaking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Luo Xin intentionally or unintentionally.

After this incident, Zhang Juzheng immediately found Xu Jie. When Xu Jie saw Zhang Juzheng, he asked:

"Taiyue, who else have you told me about Xinbaochao?"

"Luo Xin!"

"You..." Xu Jie stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said, "You are confused!"

"The student wants to get his support a whip!" Zhang Juzheng said with his head down.

Xu Jie's expression stopped, then sat down and slowly returned to his calmness. He could understand Zhang Juzheng at this time. When Zhang Juzheng raised a whip, he wanted to get Xu Jie's support. But Xu Jie opposed a whip. Now thinking about it, this is forcing Zhang Juzheng to get support from others.

When Luo Xin raised a whip in the court, Xu Jie knew that Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin had cooperated. He was a little angry and relieved.

What was angered was that Zhang Juzheng had deviated from his wishes, and what was pleased was that Zhang Juzheng had his own thoughts.

A cabinet chief cannot be a vocal worm, and must have his own ideals and means. Therefore, in the end, Xu Jie agreed to a whip and won Zhang Juzheng the pilot, and finally took over the power to the south. It was precisely because of Xu Jie doing this that Zhang Juzheng felt guilty and respected Xu Jie more.

"What happened later? Why did you get the new treasure money?"

"We..." Zhang Juzheng looked up at Xu Jie, then lowered his head in shame and said, "Then Luo Xin and I were dialectical about the same whip, and finally predicted that the money shortage was coming, so I proposed the new treasure banknote."

"How does Luo Xin think of Xinbaochao?"

"He firmly opposed..."

Zhang Juzheng said in detail what Luo Xin said. Xu Jie sighed:

"It seems that this rumor was spread by Luo Xin."

"Why did he do this?"

"Because he predicted that you and I would probably take the Baochao path."
