Chapter 216: Your Majesty, I received the gift for you
The terrain of Weijialing is extremely dangerous. There is a mountain called Motianling here, which is a major transportation pass from Hexi Mongolia to Liaodong Dusi. During the Tianshun period, Liaodong Dusi established a pass in Weijialing and set up a thousand households, which has been more than 150 years.
The current garrison of the Qianhu Station of Weijialing is Chen Dadao, a native of Tieling. This person is a fellow villager of Li Chengliang, the commander of Liaodong. Before being transferred to Weijialing as the garrison, Chen Dadao was the fourth son of Li Chengliang and the Qiancheng under the command of Yansui General Li Ruzhang.
After Li Ruzhang's death, Chen Dadao entrusted his connections and was transferred from Yansui to Liaodong. Later, somehow he walked through Li Rubai Gate, who lived in Tieling's hometown, and found a garrison position in Weijialing.
This time, Wei Liangchen was welcomed by Chen Dadao to leave the seclusion.
Moreover, just after he settled down, Wei Liangchen received a generous gift from Chen Dadao - a 300 tael of silver notes issued by Chenyang Deshun Money House, plus a pair of Dongzhu and a hundred-year-old ginseng.
This made Wei Liangchen smile. He was an official for thousands of miles only for money. Although he regarded money as dirt, it was when he had money. When he had no money, a penny would be good.
Because it was the first time he received a gift, Liangchen couldn't help but feel uneasy, and even didn't know how to deal with the gift giver, his face turned a little red.
The most important thing is that Liangchen didn't know why this guard gave him gifts. You must know that he had basically enjoyed the "black eye" treatment along the way. If the prefect of Jinzhou had not recognized him as the deputy envoy and had given him a post order to eat and live for free, he would probably have to find a way to sell a horse to help him.
Liangchen is very aware of taking money and eliminating disasters for others. He feels that if Chen Dadao’s request is not too much, he will reluctantly help others.
However, Chen Dadao did not make any requests, which made Liangchen very embarrassed. He didn't know whether to accept the gift or not.
Fortunately, Chen Dadao was a familiar expert in this field. After pushing the "gift" to Wei Liangchen, he bowed and said no more.
This made Liangchen breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he adapted a lot, but he became more confused. For this reason, he asked Li Yongzhen for advice.
Liangchen did not hide it from Li Yongzhen and admitted that the Chen Shoubei gave him money.
After hearing this, Li Yongzhen smiled: "This guard is afraid that his hands and feet are not clean, and he is afraid that you will investigate his money and food expenses at his post, so that he can spend money to eliminate disasters."
"It seems that my job of co-organizing money, food, and arrears is not completely useless."
Liangchen laughed. He found that he had ignored one of the biggest problems and the biggest treasures. Although he was just a clerk of the eighth-rank two halls, he also had a task, which was to co-organize the money and grain arrears in Liaodong.
Whether this job can be big or small, or whether it can be done depends entirely on how Wei Liangchen did it.
Of course, he also had a commander Yang Hao on his head. He was in the past and present, no matter what official he was, as long as he was a deputy position, there was basically nothing to do. It was like a staff officer who was not in charge of the leader and was not fartable.
However, the problem is that although Yang Hao was restored by Wanli, he was not directly responsible to the emperor. Although he was a small official, he was able to report to the emperor directly.
More than half a month has passed since the military transformation of the gate. It can be foreseeable that information about Wei Liangchen has been spread all over Liaodong.
Liangchen didn't believe that the inner court under Wanli could play a confidential role. Wei Liangchen was afraid that he would ask someone to investigate.
It can be judged from time that when Liangchen first arrived at the gate of the gate and went north, the army leaders in Liaodong did not know his background, and even knew his existence, so he rolled his eyes all the way, but no one paid attention to him.
Now, the group of people learned that the emperor sent a young man out of seclusion, so the spring for him, Weisheren came.
Why did the prefect of Jinzhou recognize him, why did Li Rumei send Chen Lian to escort him, and why did the garrison of Weijialing give him gifts? Isn’t it because he, the sect, also had an errand as a deputy envoy, and could he report to the emperor directly?
Once the problem is understood, the good minister will become active. He will not really investigate any money and food matters in Liaodong. It is just a bottomless pit, and whoever investigates will be unlucky.
The good minister was sure that even if Yang Hao came out of seclusion this time, he would probably have made a move, and at most he could get a few small fish and shrimps out to explain to the court.
He dared not move the big fish, nor could he move.
Gao Huai's position in the emperor's heart was higher than that of him, Yang Hao. As a result, he was powerful for ten years and became a prisoner once.
Moreover, the demand made by the mutiny soldiers to the court was that Gao Huaike detained their money and food. If you, the envoy of the court, did not investigate Gao Huai, but instead investigated them, these "divorce masters". Isn't this a confusion of black and white, a difference between right and wrong, and a bird of a feather with Gao Huai?
The good minister would never investigate the victims. He can't afford to offend these people now.
The purpose of his request to Wanli to Fushun was not to help Gao Huai repay the money, but to meet this old slave for a while in the name of Nurhaci's request for money, and to see if there was any chance to do something to make him feel troubled.
Now, because of Brother Dong, Liangchen's heart is even more "poisonous".
In name, Dong Ge is Nurhaci's wife. Although she has not married, the engagement is still there. Otherwise, Nurhaci would not have remarried Dong Ge as a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty when he raised an army.
If you count it carefully, Wei Liangchen will make the two future emperors, plus a traitor leader, the founding lord of the pseudo-dynasty.
This is more green than Louis Koo and Nick Cheung is more energetic.
What else in the world is more exciting than killing him?
So from the beginning, Wei Liangchen did not take this co-organizer seriously. But he didn't take it seriously, and some people took it seriously.
Now, Chen Dadao is here to spend money to eliminate disasters.
Three hundred taels are a huge sum of money for Liangchen, but if it is in Yang Hao's eyes, it is probably not worth his extra look.
This is something good minister cannot compare with, and his identity is there.
However, no matter how little money is, it is money.
After Li Yongzhen left, Liangchen sat under the lamp and placed three hundred taels of silver notes on the table, just like watching the red notes in his previous life, and was very moved.
A man who regards money as dirt will certainly not be moved by dirt.
What moved Liangchen was the Deshun Money Bank behind the silver notes.
Liangchen knew a little about the circulation of silver in the Ming Dynasty that became a formal currency. During the Zhengtong period, because of the depreciation of Baochao, the Ming Dynasty had to relax the use of silver ban. From then on, silver was openly circulated on the market as a currency. Before that, silver was never the official currency of any dynasty in China.
Copper is.
Since then, due to the complexity of private money in the Ming Dynasty, copper coins have different weights and different colors. The price difference between the three types of money making, private money and white money is extremely large and there are many changes, which has stimulated the private exchange industry. With the development of the private exchange industry, there were stores that specialize in copper coins exchange, namely money shops, money shops, money shops, and even money stalls.
In big cities, various carriages and horses in important places for water and land transportation, and even near the city gates, you can see stalls everywhere among the vendors who exchange money for passing merchants. This is to exchange small money, and the big money must be in the bank bank.
For example, in the Deshun Money House in Chenyang, the silver notes it issued were not only the village’s Ming quota, but also a small bank of advertisements printed on the side. The general idea is that Deshun Money House not only operates silver and money exchange business, but also provides loan services and withdrawal services with credits.
Borrowing services are of course loans. The withdrawal service with a deposit is a very advanced financial service, that is, someone deposits a fixed amount of money in the bank, and the bank then publishes a confidentiality famous post, one or several. In the future, no matter who it is, as long as you hold the post to the bank with the name, you can directly use the post without any procedures.
From this service content, we can see that this business is specially provided for high-ranking officials.
The most authoritative and least unprovoked service provided for bribery and bribery.
I'm really not afraid that you can't do it, I'm afraid that you can't imagine it.
A money house located outside the customs can provide so many commercial services. This is not what the germination of capitalism is.
The rise of silver merchants and the more services it provides, the more it means that at present, the circulation of the commodity economy is already quite large, otherwise, there would be so many "financial derivatives" that would not have emerged.
And if the commodity economy continues to develop, it will inevitably be capitalism.
This means that without Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty should have entered capitalist society faster than the West.
Liangchen is not interested in which theory is better, and he only has one thought in his mind now.
If you have a money shop and a loan business, then, what about the lottery?
If there is no Liao salary, suppression salary, training salary, etc. in the future, there are only lottery tickets for Liaodong to pacify the enemy, Liaodong to destroy the enemy lottery, Liaodong military and civilian construction charity welfare tickets and other lottery tickets, or national debts for pacifying the enemy, third-tier funds, etc.
Can it reduce the burden on farmers and prevent the Ming Dynasty from being swallowed up by the flames of peasant uprisings?
At present, the Ming Dynasty was very popular in gambling, and the Jiangnan area was particularly crazy.
Human nature is easy to bet.
Even the current emperor Wanli is said to like gambling very much.
Under the light, Liangchen's eyes were full of gods.
Suddenly, he put away the banknotes, took out the pen and paper, and after careful consideration, he began his daily report.
