Chapter 795 The interests of the royal bank
Wang Ji coughed, glanced at the two of them without saying a word.
Wu Kewei said: "My elders, now the real people are declining, villains are in power, the court is in ruins, and chaos is in chaos. It is obviously a sign of the destruction of the country. We cannot wait for nothing. We must support the world and save the people from water and fire!"
The Taoist priest didn't say anything, but looked straight ahead calmly, squinted his eyes, unfathomable.
After a long time, Wang Jicai sighed and said, "I, the people of Donglin, have taken the world as their responsibility. They gathered together and never formed a party. Now they have become the largest evil party. They are destined to be infamous for thousands of years. If the masters underground can see it, they will definitely feel extremely heartbroken and extremely sad and angry."
Wu Kewei hurriedly said, "The old man said it is right. Now the world is full of people who admire the sages of Donglin. As long as the lord climbs up and calls, he will definitely follow people, wash the court, clear the clouds and see the sun, and revive the Ming Dynasty! Once the whole country is full, the revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!"
Wang Ji nodded slightly and showed approval.
This is indeed the case now. As the emperor’s so-called “new policy” continues to advance, more and more people resist, and these people are increasingly missing Donglin. In Nanzhili, He and Nan, there are the most people like this. They gather together, criticize the government affairs angrily, sing loudly, and resound throughout the world.
The Taoist priest sat upright, squinted his eyes, and did not move at all.
"What do you think of Taoist priest?" Wang Ji looked at the Taoist priest and said.
The Taoist priest turned his head, opened his eyes, and said, "Hide his strength and keep a low profile, and take every step forward."
Wang Ji frowned slightly and said for a while: "Please also say it clearly."
Wu Kewei also looked at the Taoist priest. This man is from Mount Wutai. He is always a master!
The Taoist priest looked at Wang Ji and said, "Sir, the current emperor is not only disgusted with party struggles, but also dislikes Donglin. He will not allow Donglin to resume his resumption. Therefore, we must hide our edge, take advantage of the opportunity to arrange our forces quietly. When enough, we will repeat the Taizu system in one fell swoop and revive the Ming Dynasty!"
When Wu Kewei heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Mr., what the Taoist priest said is, we cannot be anxious. We must first dissolve the foundation of the emperor little by little and increase our power. Once the time comes, the master will climb up and call you. He will definitely follow the people and the world will return to his heart!"
Wang Ji laughed and said, "The Taoist Master and I coincide with each other."
It was not that no one had caused trouble and wanted to enter the court again before, but he was the emperor's iron rod. Not only did he fail, he even took his life in it. They had to learn from his lesson!
Wu Kewei felt proud in his heart. As long as they united, the whole world would be far away again.
"By the way, sir, can you rescue Lord Yang?" Wu Kewei said suddenly. The Lord Yang he was referring to Yang Lian. This man was considered an imperial teacher. Many people were executed at the beginning, but he was sentenced to 'lifetime imprisonment' and is now in prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Yang Lian's influence is greater than Wang Ji, and he even competed with Zhao Nanxing in the court.
Wang Ji was silent for a while and said, "Well, I'll think of a way to go around and try." He was not sure that he could rescue Yang Lian when he was retrialing Donglin.
Wu Kewei raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr.
The Ming Dynasty court, from Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong of the Cabinet to Fu Changzong of the Six Divisions, Zhou Yingqiu, Zhang Wenda and others, was uneasy. The "adding to the cabinet's auxiliary ministers" was like a whirlpool, rolling everyone in.
A group of people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep soundly, each of them was thinking of using strange tricks to deal with them.
But he was interrupted by the three internal prisoners who left the palace the next day!
Not long after, a piece of news exploded in the capital, rolling like boiling water. The emperor had already returned to Beijing yesterday!
Some uneasy moments calm down and no longer worry; some are frightened and have a chaotic plan; some are frightened and have a chaotic plan; some are frightened and worried.
People in the capital, with the news that Zhu Xu returned to Beijing, have all kinds of things, everything in the world.
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were also surprised. They gathered in the cabinet at this moment, and their faces were silent.
Zhu Xu suddenly returned to Beijing and disrupted their plans, which made them feel at a loss.
Bi Ziyan said, "According to the emperor's temper, this matter will definitely be magnified. We must stop it as much as the bead chains as possible. Otherwise, the impact will be too great and it will not end."
Sun Chengzong said calmly: "Well, the court can no longer make enemies. We will advise the emperor later and will definitely stop it. Regarding the cabinet ministers, we will not fight with the emperor. We will settle down as soon as possible, so that we will save the night and dreams."
Bi Ziyan nodded silently, and felt inexplicably under great pressure.
After a few more words, the two left the palace and went to the royal money house.
Fu Changzong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave an explanation to the Ministry of Revenue, and also went to the royal money house, waiting for Zhu Xu.
The Royal Money House is not far from the Sixth Ministry. It is a tight courtyard with strict defenses, with soldiers inside and outside, and the scale is comparable to the entire Sixth Ministry!
The three of them arrived one after another, accompanied by Fu Tao, waiting for Zhu Xu to arrive quietly.
Zhu Xu did not appear on time, and slept a long time, teased the couple for a while, and after breakfast, he wrote a copy in the imperial study room for a while, until almost noon, he came to the royal money house.
This time, Zhu Xu was accompanied by the new Imperial Commander Wang Wensheng and Liu Shimin. They followed Zhu Xu, and there was a team of Imperial Commander behind him.
Zhu Xu wore regular clothes before coming to this courtyard.
"I will meet the emperor." Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Fu Changzong and Fu Tao saluted together.
Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, looked at the courtyard, and said, "No gifts. I haven't been here a few times, and I feel different every time."
Fu Tao stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, this place has been improving and has not yet been formed, but it is safe and cannot be attacked without thousands of elite soldiers."
Zhu Xu was very satisfied and said, "Let's go, take a look." He said, and then walked forward first.
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others looked at each other and followed Zhu Xu.
When Zhu Xu walked into the main entrance, he was filled with cold and solemn atmosphere. He was covered with cement everywhere, with distinctive armor and soldiers in his hands, which put great pressure on people.
Fu Tao followed Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this is the headquarters of the Royal Money House. It is responsible for storing, minting, transporting, etc., and is not responsible for other businesses, so it is a bit cautious."
Zhu Xu looked around and nodded slightly. This place is more like a vault than the headquarters of the Royal Money House.
"Prince, please come here."
Fu Taoling was in front and said, "There is a mint in front, and all the paper money, copper coins and silver dollars are minted here."
Zhu Xu looked curious. He had never seen coins before and walked in front with great enthusiasm.
Bi Ziyan and others followed and were curious. Even if it was them, this was their first time. The confidentiality level here was too high and they could not get in without the emperor's permission.
Not long after going, a wave of heat came, dispelling the gloomy aura that could not be dissolved.
Immediately, a sound of ping-pong came from my ears, which was very dull and occasionally extremely harsh.
Zhu Xu turned a few turns, passed several defenses and mechanisms, and then saw a huge room with a fire inside. I couldn't see clearly. He only saw many shirtless men walking around, and there were still shouts.
Fu Tao said, "Your Majesty, the temperature inside is too high and it is a bit dangerous, so don't go in."
Zhu Xu glanced at him a few more times, nodded, and walked forward.
"Your Majesty, there is a vault in front of you." Fu Tao said. As he said, everyone came to a huge iron gate. Dozens of guards stood in front, with cold expressions and cold eyes.
After a while of salute, the thick iron door was slowly opened, and Zhu Xu and others stepped in.
After turning a few turns, Zhu Xu came to a huge underground secret room, which was divided into two sides, one was gold nuggets and the other was silver nuggets, which were piled up like a hill, shining with light.
Whether it was Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Fu Changzong and others, they all hurriedly blocked their eyes. It took a while to get used to it, and then they all looked shocked.
Fu Tao said, "Emperor, there are 300,000 taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver here. Except for the fact that the gold remains unmoving and is constantly increasing, silver is fixed, and the others will be cast into silver dollars, ingots, and placed outside."
Zhu Xu looked at these two hills and felt satisfied. He held his hands behind his back, slowly observing and appreciating.
He has never seen such a spectacular scene in his past and present lives!
Although Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Fu Changzong and others often had large sums of silver flowing in their hands, it was the first time they saw such a physical object, which was shocking.
After a while, Zhu Xu calmed down and said, "How many have you released?"
Fu Tao said: "There are already six million yuan, copper coins, silver dollars, and ingots are OK, but the banknotes are not many, because the amount is too small, and they are different from silver notes. People, merchants, and big investors don't like it."
Zhu Xu was not surprised that the small amount of paper money was to prevent fraud, and to the other hand, it was to circulate and trade throughout the Ming Dynasty, not for large-scale commercial transactions.
No matter what, bringing ten thousand taels of paper money is always much more convenient than cash.
These all take time and slowly penetrate.
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, the proportion of paper money, copper coins, silver dollars, and ingots should be cautious. Try to issue more paper money, and be sure to evaluate it well. Do not issue it randomly. Increase efforts in gold and silver recycling. The reserves of gold and silver can be further increased..."
"Abide by the order!" Fu Tao listened carefully and remembered.
After taking a few more glances, Zhu Xu said with satisfaction: "Let's go and take a look elsewhere."
"Yes." Fu Tao led the way out of the vault.
For more than an hour, Zhu Xu and others looked at all the important places of the Royal Money House, and then sat down in the hall to rest and have tea.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put it down, looked at the group of people and smiled, "How about it, what do you think?"
Bi Ziyan leaned forward slightly and said, "The emperor is far-sighted. The royal money house is indeed more suitable for my Ming Dynasty and will definitely be of great use in the future." Bi Ziyan was the Minister of Revenue before, and he saw a lot of things in the royal money house. For example, if more paper money is issued, it may be of great use to fight against disasters!
Neither Sun Chengzong nor Fu Changzong spoke.
Zhu Xu leaned against the chair and said with a smile: "It's certain that great use is certain, but this is also a double-edged sword. In my hands, there are naturally endless benefits. If it falls into the hands of a group of stupid officials, it will definitely be unimaginable..."
