Chapter 77: Hu Zhengyan

() Emperor Chongzhen waited until they finished their politeness, so he told Bi Ziyan what Zhong Jinwei meant.

Although Bi Ziyan also works in finance, due to the limitations of the times, he does not have a deep understanding of these requirements of paper money, so he has the above picture.

After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, he thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is a man with a surname named Hu, his name is Cong, and his name is Shizhu. He is from Xiuning County, Anhui Province. He is good at seal carving, painting, ink making, etc. In the seventh year of Tianqi, he compiled the "Shizhuzhai Painting Collection", which was printed using his original "电影" and "口" printing techniques. His ink is beautiful and his carving is delicate. He is a master in this way."

Zhong Jinwei was a little curious when he heard it. The original "龙电" and "龙电" printing technique sounded very powerful, so he asked: "What is 龙电, 龙电?"

Emperor Chongzhen had never heard of it. After hearing Zhong Jinwei's question, he showed a curious expression, waiting for Bi Ziyan's explanation.

Bi Ziyan smiled and said, "The printing of the slab is based on the needs of printing. A small plate is engraved in each slab. It is printed in sequence and is printed in sequence, like a piece of slab, so it is called the slab."

Speaking of this, Zhong Jinwei suddenly realized: "Is it color SE printing?"

"Zhongxing Bo said so well." Bi Ziyan praised.

"Where is the Gonghua?" Zhong Jinwei asked about another technique.

"The arch is a method of engraving and printing without ink. The two-plate rimming can make the layout arch and pattern."

Isn't this much the same as the concave and bump printing in later generations? Not bad, Zhong Jinwei was very excited when he heard this. These two technologies were used in the RMB of his era. If he wanted to use them now, no one could fake them.

Bi Ziyan was still offering treasures, but he was just looking at Emperor Chongzhen. He said: "Your Majesty, I happened to collect a set of "Shizhuzhai Calligraphy and Painting Collection" produced by Mr. Shizhu. I brought it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will know Mr. Shizhu's skills after reading it." After saying that, I felt a little distressed.

Emperor Chongzhen was already curious about what Bi Ziyan described, and was even more happy to see the real thing. At that moment, he asked Bi Ziyan and said, "Bi Qing, where is this Shi Zhu? I am afraid that the imperial court will print new banknotes without him."

Bi Ziyan thought for a while and said, "I heard that he left Xiuning, Anhui and went to Nanzhili."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei, and Zhong Jinwei also smiled and said, "It should be that this person is not allowed. The beautiful words of paper currency printing may have a good effect on the issuance and promotion of paper currency."

"Okay, I will send the Jinyiwei to Anhui, Nanzhili to visit this Mr. Shizhu and invite him to come to the capital to participate in state affairs." Emperor Chongzhen made the decision immediately.

After discussing this matter, he took back to work without any matters. Since the Jianlu invasion, his affairs should be the most common among the six ministers.

After Bi Ziyan withdrew, the monarch and ministers were speechless for a moment. Immediately, Zhong Jinwei broke the silence and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have a few summary of the destruction of this army. I want to tell you."

"Oh, Master Zhong, just say it just because you have something to say." Emperor Chongzhen knew that Zhong Jinwei had any opinions to be published. Generally speaking, they were very useful things, so he was looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty, the king-stricken army outside can eliminate so many soldiers at one time. Whether the remaining strong soldiers remains to be investigated. No wonder the wild boar skin soldiers can rage into the pass."

"Wild boar skin?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand.

"Oh, wild boar skin is a despicable title for Jianlu, my minister." Zhong Jinwei accidentally misled his tongue and had to explain.

After explaining, he asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I don't know how about the Beijing camp now comparing with these royal soldiers? I seem to have heard that the Beijing camp can hit their own people now."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face felt a little feverish. However, Emperor Chongzhen had no reservations about Zhong Jinwei and said, "I know that there are many flowers in the Jing camp at present. If you really want to go to war, it will be much better than serving the royal army."

In fact, it is not a question of how good it is, but a question of how bad it is. The matter of eating empty wages and drinking blood from soldiers is even more serious.

"Your Majesty, this time the military is out of the army is very dangerous." Then Zhong Jinwei and Emperor Chongzhen analyzed why Zu Dashou's army cooperated and its role in the military defeat.

Emperor Chongzhen heard this and nodded, saying, "I have promised Master Sun before that I will not blame Zu Dashou for his past. I am very satisfied with my performance in the decommissioning of the army this time. Master Zhong can tell him that even if he was arrested in fighting against Jianlu, I believe he is loyal."

Zhong Jinwei's head suddenly went down. In history, Zu Dashou returned to the Ming Dynasty after the defeat in the Daling River War, and Emperor Chongzhen was promoted to his official position. Is this the reason? But in history, he did not travel through time.

I couldn't figure it out, but I still didn't think about it anymore. Zhong Jinwei put down the mud in his mind and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after this military elimination, I feel that the Ming army reform is necessary and have a deeper understanding. Now it has really reached the point where it has to be changed."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded. In fact, everyone had a consensus on this at the previous meeting, but because Jianlu was still in the capital, he had not dared to prepare for this matter.

"Your Majesty, one of the prerequisites for the reform of the military system is that your Majesty has a strong army in his hand and intimidate other troops to avoid any abnormal movements."

Yes, I don’t have a strong army in my hands, otherwise I wouldn’t have been bullied by the foreigners at my doorstep. Emperor Chongzhen thought.

In fact, in history, Emperor Chongzhen would have a deeper impression of this in a few years. The generals who led the troops at that time were arrogant and domineering, and they were simply warlords, but the court had no choice but to do anything to them. Even Lu Xiangsheng, who was the prime minister at the time, wanted to ask for a slave to Zu Dashou, because he had a strong army of Ning Tieqi.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you also eliminate troops from the Beijing camp, and then select strong refugees to participate and train them. You can kill two birds with one stone." Zhong Jinwei made a suggestion to Emperor Chongzhen.

An eunuch at the corner heard what Zhong Jinwei said, quickly looked up at Zhong Jinwei and immediately lowered his head. No one noticed his actions, and of course he didn't know why he did this.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhong Jinwei's suggestion and did not reply immediately, but began to ponder on the imperial chair. After a while, he looked up and said to Zhong Jinwei: "I know that Master Zhong's intentions can kill two birds with one stone, but it is not suitable at the moment. I don't have the Guanning Army when Master Sun was eliminated. Do you understand?"

After hearing from Emperor Chongzhen that when Sun Chengzong eliminated the army, Zhong Jinwei still had some unknown reason.

Zhong Jinwei also knew that Emperor Chongzhen’s concerns were reasonable and he had no consideration.

The Beijing camp guards the capital. If they were eliminated, they would not be better than the generals who served the king. The soldiers who served the king were eliminated now and could still get empty salary and drink blood when they returned. This is also one of the reasons why they did not make trouble in the end.

If Jingying was eliminated, there would be no chance to get a job. This is a matter of taking money with a sword, there would be fierce resistance. At the moment, if a quarrel starts, no one can bear the responsibility and may not be able to pay the price for Jianlu, so they cannot take this risk.

So Zhong Jinwei nodded and thought to himself that Emperor Chongzhen was still thinking about the problem.

"But I will leave this chess piece sooner or later. At that time, Master Zhong will have to help me more." Emperor Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, I have no choice." Zhong Jinwei promised immediately.

After talking about this, it seemed that it was fine. Zhong Jinwei wanted to say goodbye. Suddenly, he remembered his private affairs. So he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have another private affairs."

It is rare to listen to Zhong Jinwei's mention of private matters. Emperor Chongzhen was very interested, so he asked, "Master Zhong, what's the matter?"
