Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 136 You can't do anything, go home and farm as soon as possible, don't get in my eyes!
West Gate.
The Donghua Gate is still under construction, and Zhu Qiyu is sitting in the hole of the gate.
More than a dozen selected merchant representatives knelt on the ground, surrounded by martial law.
"I ordered you to come here because I want to chat with you, so you don't have to be restrained." Zhu Qiyu didn't let them get up.
A dozen or so businessmen, although they are the branches of the major business gangs, are also people with huge family fortunes, but at this moment they can only kneel respectfully on the stone slab and listen to the hadith.
"You have been in Beijing for a while, but you haven't set up business in Beijing. What's the reason?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cao Min and others have just arrived in Beijing, and they don't understand the environment in Beijing, so they haven't bought a house and started business for a long time."
The person who spoke was Ma Rui, who came from Huizhou merchants. He came to Beijing and was ready to be treated as a fat sheep. How could he care about doing business? He was just waiting for the emperor to stab him.
"Then do you understand now?" Zhu Qiyu could hear the perfunctory in his tone.
"This……"
Mary didn't dare to say it.
"What? Am I a man-eating tiger? Are you so afraid of me?" Zhu Qiyu's tone sank.
Ma Rui hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, not even daring to say it.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold.
"Caomin was originally doing business in Luzhou Prefecture, and he didn't know much about the environment in central Beijing. Recently, he fell into a serious illness because of acclimatization, so he didn't know what to do for a long time." Ma Rui said tremblingly.
"What are you doing in Luzhou Mansion?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin is in the tea business."
"Then you can also do tea business in Beijing. The wealthy people in Beijing don't know how many people there are. They can sell whatever goods they have. Don't worry, just do your old business."
Zhu Qiyu's words shocked the merchants.
What do you mean?Wait for us to buy property, and then harvest us?
"Your Majesty, you, you..." Ma Rui wanted to say, are you going to kill us?
"What? Do you think I have worked so hard to order you to go to Beijing to kill people?" Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
"Caomin has no such intentions, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Ma Rui kowtowed.
"Let me tell you straight."
"The businessmen from all over the world are ordered to enter Beijing in the hope that the northern economy will prosper."
"Presumably you also know that the court is fighting a war, and after the war, it will be rebuilt. You merchants are needed."
"That's why I worked so hard to send you into Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I wonder, why do you think so? I ordered you to enter Beijing to kill people?"
Did you not know what you did before?
Ma Rui didn't dare to say it directly, and kept kowtowing, insisting that he didn't.
"Hmph, if you think this way, you are too narrow-minded, am I a tyrant?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
Ma Rui didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, not a tyrant!"
Other merchants followed suit.
However, there was no response from the emperor for a long time.
In front of the Xihua Gate, there was an eerie silence.
"Slandering the king, is it something you and other lowly people deserve to do?" Zhu Qiyu shouted suddenly.
It was only now that Ma Rui came to his senses, a businessman is a lowly citizen, how could he be qualified to judge the emperor!
"Your Majesty, please spare me!" Ma Rui and other merchants kowtowed.
Some are timid, and have peed their pants in fright.
"Ten sticks per person!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy and cold: "I'm a gentleman, what crime is it to speculate on Tianxin? Haven't you read the Law of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Evaluating Junfu, you will be beheaded!"
"do you know?"
"What are you guys, dare to comment on Junfu? Can you guys comment on me? Ah!"
More than a dozen merchants were so frightened that they peed their pants.
It is a great crime to punish the nine clans to judge Junfu!
It's all Ma Rui's fault, what nonsense are you talking about, it's killing us all!
The important officials of the cabinet glanced at the emperor and rolled their eyes. It was you who asked others to evaluate, but the board fell on him. You are too overbearing!
But they will not intercede for merchants.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The wooden stick fell on the merchant's body, and it hurt in his heart, but he didn't dare to cry out.
Fortunately, the will was written before coming here, but all the clansmen will be killed, who will read the will?
After the ten rods were struck, the merchants all lay down on the ground.
The eunuch kicked them and told them to kneel. They could only endure the severe pain and knelt on the hard stone slab, behaved well.
After a while, Zhu Qiyu's voice came: "Forget it, I am a benevolent monarch, so I will not pursue this crime."
"Remember, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, so don't slander the king in your heart!"
"Everything you have is given by me, you should know how to be grateful."
"I give you death, that is also the emperor's favor!"
"Understand?"
Zhu Qiyu played with people's hearts.
"Caomin and others are deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!" A dozen merchants wailed loudly and escaped the catastrophe.
"Shouldn't you laugh when you're happy? Why are you crying!" Zhu Qiyu shouted abruptly.
The merchants quickly put away their tears, knelt down neatly, not daring to move.
It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger.
"It's pretty obedient."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "I ordered you to come to encourage you to buy property in Beijing."
After being beaten with a killing stick, which merchant would dare to go against the emperor's wishes!
The cabinet officials saw it and understood that the emperor really didn't want his reputation.
Just like the yamen servants, first give someone a killing blow, and then try the case. Right and wrong are all in the hands of the officials, and it depends on who gives enough gifts.
"I know, you are just a side branch of the family."
"Those main sects are watching the fire from the other side, watching with cold eyes!"
"But it won't be long before they are all going to Beijing. I have already sent a large army out of Beijing to suppress the bandits along the road. Do they dare not go to Beijing?"
"However, you are earlier than them, and you have capital in your hands."
"You are more obedient than them, and I will bestow favor on you."
"Jingzhong, Shandong, and Xuanzhen can all invest, and I have no restrictions."
Ma Rui and the others were dumbfounded. You support us in business, why did you beat us up?
"There is no need to be afraid of the Royal Firm. Although it has the reputation of the Royal, it is also a fair competition with you. I will not favor them. Just rest assured."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly.
Merchants are all dumbfounded, it's a great thing!
It's a good deal to exchange ten sticks for such a huge bargain!
Although they are offshoots of business gangs in various places, they all have money in their hands, have been in business for generations, and have no shortage of experience.
The emperor gave them a chance, and they could do it, no worse than the main suzerain.
The courtiers, however, understood the emperor's tricks and slapped Tianzao, after which the emperor would do what he had to do.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of business in Beijing can be done by the grassroots?" A Su businessman asked cautiously.
"Of course, there are no restrictions, you can do whatever you want, as long as you operate properly."
Zhu Qiyu looked at them: "Do you have any doubts?"
Ma Rui and the others were ready to move, but they dared not say anything.
"Since there is no one, just follow what I said."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he changed the topic: "Everyone, it is very inconvenient for the court to transfer money frequently."
"So I plan to open a ticket number and use silver tickets instead of silver, which is convenient for transshipment, saves expenses, and is also convenient for merchants all over the world."
ticket number?
It turns out that the emperor wanted to be a ticket number!
The courtiers immediately understood that the emperor wanted to scrap the banknotes and use the banknotes instead, and then pay the salary in the future, would he just issue papers?
"Your Majesty, Caomin and others are not in the ticket office business." Ma Rui didn't want to meddle.
Other merchants followed suit.
"It doesn't matter what kind of business you do, the important thing is to know that I want to be a ticket number that goes through the world, that's all."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Ma Rui, you really don't know how to understand the emperor's heart, you interrupt me all the time?
That's right.
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to issue bank notes to save transportation costs.
Dongchang is investigating the post delivery system of the Xuanzhen Line, and has already found signs of it. Although it is only a sign, Zhu Qiyu saw a huge amount of money and food entering the pockets of these people!
He wanted to be a bank before, and use the world's money to relieve the financial pressure on the central government.
But due to helplessness, I couldn't continue, so I started from the ticket number.
Businessmen like Ma Rui are not interested in the grand plans of the emperor, they just want to make small money safely and be a happy little businessman.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu had to force them.
"What? Can't you support the court?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
Ma Rui shivered, and his back was sore, which made him sober. In front of the emperor, they had no room to bargain!
"The grass people support, the grass people support!" Ma Rui was terrified.
All the merchants kowtowed.
"Support is easy."
Zhu Qiyu stood up, did not go under the sun, it was too hot: "I plan to open a few ticket numbers."
"One opened in the name of the court and placed under the household department;"
"One opened in the name of the Royal Trading Company and placed in the Royal Trading Company;"
"Open one more, in my own name."
"The ticket number I want to open is not for you to release loan sharks to harm the common people, but to contribute to the transfer of materials for the central hub!"
"I don't need to tell you about the ticket number issued in the name of Chaotang and Royal Trading Company."
"The ticket number opened in my name, I plan to give you a chance to bathe in the emperor's grace, and every household, put some money into it..."
Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, you are waiting here!
Last time it was a direct kill, this time it's a soft knife!
Your method of robbery is getting better and better every time, I'm convinced!
Zhang Feng secretly gave a thumbs up, a little bit envious of Geng Jiuchou, if this ticket number is opened, the household department will have living money in the account, and life will be comfortable.
Ma Rui and the others are all merchants. When it comes to business, the emperor's brains are not as fast as theirs. He knows it as soon as he hears it, and he is regarded as a fat sheep and slaughtered.
"The establishment of a bank is also good for your business!"
"You come and go, do business in Zhili in the north and south, don't you need to transfer?"
"With the ticket number, just take the bank ticket with you."
"Besides, I let you invest in the shares, and there will be benefits in the future. It is a favor to you. Don't you want to be rewarded by me?"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was sullen.
"Caomin is willing to invest!" Ma Rui hurriedly said, is money more important or life more important?
However, if they are allowed to enter the stock number, as long as they are fair and just, it is really profitable.
"This bank is called Sihai Bank. I will split it into 100 million shares, and one share will cost 1000 taels of silver. Each of you will share more shares."
Marui almost fell down!
The ticket number is split into 100 million shares, and one share is 1000 taels?
Why don't you grab it directly!
"Businessmen in this world must own shares. As for the amount, it will be determined by the palace planners. Every family must buy, and the dividends will be distributed at the end of the year according to the shareholding ratio."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to strike fiercely.
He has to do a lot of things, and he is short of money.
Zhang Feng clicked her tongue secretly, it's better for you to come to the money sooner!
"I don't know much about ticket numbers. You recommend some talents to come up and enter the ticket number to operate for me."
Zhu Qiyu paced and said: "This ticket number is a serious business, and it is a reputation."
"I said the ugly words first, whoever dares to damage my reputation, I will kill the nine clans!"
"Not to mention lending loan sharks, that's an evil thing that forces people to be slaves, and the ticket number is not allowed, and the ticket number is not a pawnshop, but a well-behaved ticket number!"
"Don't look at you as shareholders, but how this ticket number operates is up to me, and Da Ming Law has the final say!"
"After the ticket number is established, all the money in your family will be exchanged into bank notes, and you are not allowed to keep it at home!"
Zhu Qiyu sternly shouted: "Don't worry, not only you, but all the money of the officials and officials will be put in the ticket number!"
"In the future, all the money of the people in the world will be placed in the ticket number!"
hiss!
Marui and the others felt weak all over.
The emperor is robbing the people of the world for money!
They are all placed in the ticket number. What will happen if one day they cannot be cashed out?
Could it be that they rebelled?
"Don't worry, I won't destroy the Great Wall myself. This country is my private property. Why do I need so much money?"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "The most important thing in operating a ticket number is the issue of reputation."
"No matter when and where, you have to exchange the bank notes. As for how to prevent counterfeiting, it is a central issue, and you don't need to wait for merchants to worry about it."
"Go back and think about how many shares you want to buy in Sihai Bank."
"Wynn, you come to be the admiral and eunuch of the Four Seas Trading Company first, and you take care of it! You can recruit the counselors in the palace, and you can also recruit counselors from the outside world."
"Go back."
Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to look at these merchants anymore, and looked at Zhang Feng and the others: "Zhuqing will follow me to Qinzheng Palace."
On the way, Zhang Feng and others whispered.
Entered the Palace of Qinzheng.
Zhang Feng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that this account will not be able to open outside Beijing."
"How?" Zhu Qiyu put on a relaxed tone.
He really doesn't like merchants all over the world.
It has been almost a month since the imperial decree was issued, and less than one out of ten obediently came to the capital. If they hadn't sent troops out of the capital by suppressing the kings, they would definitely not have entered the capital.
Today, I just hit the killing stick, and didn't kill directly, which is already interesting enough.
"Your Majesty, I think there are three reasons."
"First, this ticket number has always been available in Jiangnan."
"If the court is opened, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely do things secretly, and the private bank accounts will secretly release loan sharks. How many poor people will be frightened when they hear the bank account numbers. Should the central government take the blame?"
"Secondly, do you charge the currency exchange fee? If you don't accept it, what kind of income will the ticket number receive? How to support it? If you accept it, are merchants willing to use banknotes? How can banknotes be protected from counterfeiting?"
"There is also the issue of silver custody. It's okay to say in Beijing, how much does it cost to transfer silver in so many cities across the country? And how to supervise it? If eunuchs are sent in, will it turn into a royal store again?"
"Thirdly, this ticket number belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Is it official or private? If it is official, will you be granted an official position? How much will the central government increase its expenses?"
"Your Majesty set up a ticket number and still need to transfer the money. It's just for the convenience of merchants all over the world. What benefits can you receive?"
Zhang Feng was orderly and well-spoken.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Get up, it's all on point."
"Let me first talk about the original intention of building this bank. The old matriarch is in poor health and went home on leave. I will write it down, show it to the old matriarch, and ask him for his opinion afterwards."
"Court ticketing accounts, of course all private ticketing accounts must be banned."
"Zhang Feng, you are in the center, and you can see the flood of loan sharks from the people, which shows that you know the suffering of the people."
"The reason why I want to issue bills is to accept pawnshops from all over the world into the center. Private pawnshops are not allowed, let alone accept loan sharks!"
"This usury comes out of nine out of thirteen times, I don't want to go into details."
"But it's the worst thing!"
"I want to eliminate the world's pawnshops and cut off the loan sharks from the people, starting from the ticket number."
Zhu Qiyu saw that Zhang Feng and others were puzzled, and explained: "The exchange of silver is just the beginning, it is nothing more than establishing a good reputation."
"This is the original intention of setting up the ticket number."
"You're right. This bank is only doing currency exchange business, and it's completely losing money."
"This is what I think. My Four Seas bank account is my private bank account, which is under the supervision of the eunuch;"
"The ticket number of the court is the official ticket number, which is managed by the household department and has officials;"
"The ticket number of the Royal Commercial Bank is the ticket number of the Zhu family, and it is also a private ticket number."
"The bank of the Chaotang, the household department and the internal funds jointly bear the silver, it is called the Daming bank."
"Exchange fees are required. After all, transshipment and safekeeping of silver both cost money. As for how much to charge, it will be calculated by the accounting department of the household department and reported to the higher authorities. I will then decide."
"As for how to prevent counterfeiting, the court should think carefully about it. If something is profitable, someone will take the risk of beheading to do it!"
"The anti-counterfeiting issue needs to be resolved, and the invoice number can only be issued after it is resolved. This matter will be discussed later."
Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu stood up and turned twice on the ground: "Feng Xiao, how much money do you have?"
Feng Xiao glanced at the courtiers.
"It's okay, say it." Zhu Qiyu has always been frugal, and he is reluctant to spend, so what can't he say?
"My lord, if you count jewelry, there are about 500 million taels."
hiss!
The emperor is really capable of tossing about. It's only been a month, and it took more than 300 million taels?
Prodigals are not as defeated as you!
But all the money was spent locally.
"I will contribute 300 million taels, and the Ministry of Households will also contribute 300 million taels."
Zhu Qiyu was lenient this time: "I own [-]% of the shares, and the household department owns [-]%. It doesn't matter if I don't have any money now, I will use my money first, and then return it to me when the household department makes money. The [-]% will be counted as interest."
All over the world, relying on merchants from all over the world will have a lot of money, and there is no need to pay money from internal funds.
He didn't set aside the silver taels of the royal bank, obviously, he was waiting for others to pay.
"Your Majesty, half from the palace/court, naturally it should be split fifty-fifty." Geng Jiuchou quit.
As the secretary of the household department, he has to hold the pocket of the household department.
"Then do you have money?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"No." Geng Jiuchou was also honest.
"That's it. I will lend you 300 million taels, and I will return it to you when the autumn tax is collected. It will be [-]% interest. Is it high?"
Geng Jiuchou glanced at the cabinet and muttered, "Your Majesty just said that loan sharks will be abolished..."
"Is this usury?" Zhu Qiyu was impatient.
Geng Jiuchou was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, but he still insisted: "It's a big deal to pay back some interest, and I can't eat [-]% of it. According to the calculation of the four-sea ticket number, that [-]% is a huge amount of money! The Ministry of Households refuses to let this [-]%! "
"Okay, then you can borrow it yourself, as long as you can borrow 300 million taels as a reserve, I don't care, is it okay?" Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Geng Jiuchou kept his mouth shut.
Zhang Feng and Wang Wei looked up at the sky. The weather was fine, obviously saying that they must be divided equally.
"Succeed, I won't argue with you, I will share it equally, and if you collect the autumn gift, you can give me the interest." Zhu Qiyu backed down a step.
Geng Jiuchou immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, you have 500 million taels of silver in your pocket, and they are all jewelry. How can you lend 300 million taels to the household department?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at him, it's endless, right?
I want to cheat you some money, is it so difficult?
Everyone is so good?
"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Household Department, this account must be settled clearly, otherwise I will not be able to account to Your Majesty!" Geng Jiuchou was excited.
Break up with the emperor, and then explain to the emperor, you are playing.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned speechless, he wanted to be a white wolf with nothing, and earn some interest.
"You win, and I don't want any interest!"
Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair angrily.
Geng Jiuchou hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty, Zhang Feng gave him a thumbs up, it's wonderful that someone who wants money meets someone who wants money.
"When the Daming Bank, the Royal Bank, and the Four Seas Bank are established, other bank accounts are not allowed among the people."
"As for merchants not wanting to spend the exchange fee, that's up to them."
"Forcibly prohibit private bank transfers. Once discovered, the bank will be confiscated and returned to the public. I will serve three years of labor!"
"Let... the Ministry of Punishments be in charge!"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Yu Shiyue: "The Ministry of Cabinet, the Secretary of General Administration, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are so busy every day that they hit the back of their heads, but the Ministry of Punishment is leisurely and leisurely every day. I pay for you to support you. Is it for the old man?"
"The humble minister is guilty!" Yu Shiyue trembled in fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"The Ministry of Punishment should also move around, contribute to the court, and share the worries for me!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Every time I discuss national affairs with the Ministry of Justice, you don't say a word. I don't mention the Ministry of Punishment this time, and I forget it. Are you still a minister of the Ministry of Punishment? There is also the Ministry of Punishment in the Sixth Ministry! I have forgotten all about it." !"
Yu Shiyue was dripping with cold sweat, not understanding why the emperor took his anger out on him.
"Tell me, what can you do?"
Zhu Qiyu inexplicably remembered that this Yu Shiyue had taken refuge in him before, and then jumped back, and had been pretending to be dead all these days.
It's very hot when you mention it, it's useless at all, the corpse is a vegetarian meal!
"The humble official governs the Xing Prison in the world..."
"But do you care?"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him: "Those people from Shanxi go to the Department of General Affairs to annoy people every day, what are you doing?"
"The responsibility doesn't fall on your head, so you just go around slacking off, don't you?"
"You are called lazy politics, do you understand!"
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!" Yu Shiyue was drenched in cold sweat.
Only then did I understand that the emperor was angry with those Shanxi merchants who went to trouble the General Secretary every day, saying bad things about the factory guards, but he was actually referring to Sang scolding Huai, scolding the emperor.
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu kicked him over: "You know you are wrong! You are wrong! You can do nothing, go home and farm as soon as possible, don't get in my eyes here!"
Yu Shiyue quickly got up and knelt on the ground again.
"Can you do it?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Yes, yes." Yu Shiyue was trembling all over.
"What can you do?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Yu Shiyue's mind went blank, unable to explain why.
"waste!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Ten slaps on the mouth to wake him up!"
After hearing the imperial decree, the eunuch entered the palace and directly smoked Yu Shiyue.
The cabinet ministers trembled.
Suddenly remembered.
This Palace of Qinzheng is the Palace of Devils.
How many important ministers did the emperor kill here!
Hu Yan is not here today, their lives are really on the line.
No one dared to intercede for Yu Shiyue, and no one could understand the emperor's mind.
"Go out and kneel!"
Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath, and sat back on the chair: "Get up, and continue discussing. People who are useless in the future don't have to stand in the hall. Go back and farm, don't block my eyes!"
"I like capable and thoughtful officials, not a bunch of kowtowers, let alone flatterers!"
"To serve me, you must show your true skills!"
"Otherwise, they will all go home and farm, and future generations will stop studying, forget about farming! What's the use of reading for such a person! Stupider than a pig!"
The cabinet ministers who had just stood up all knelt on the ground again.
"Get up."
"For this ticket number, the Ministry of Household Affairs is too busy, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice will help."
"Let them work, don't be idle and eat dry food every day!"
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and said: "The ticket number still needs to be considered in the long run. Zhang Feng, you have a lot of ideas. You and Geng Jiuchou work together to think of a perfect plan."
"But don't worry about failure. If you make a mistake, you can correct it. Daming won't get better in a day."
"As long as you work diligently and do practical things for the people with your heart, I, the emperor, will be happy from the bottom of my heart. I can give you whatever you want!"
"Even if one day, you want to split the soil and divide the king, I will give it to you!"
The officials hurriedly knelt down, who would dare to ask for this!
Is Yu Qian's contribution great? As long as he dares to ask for it, the emperor dares to kill him. What are you kidding, the king can easily give it to him?
A few more words of advice.
"Your Majesty, Geng Yu is compiling the disaster relief booklet at home, and it must be finished in the afternoon, can you submit it to the palace?" Geng Jiuchou kowtowed and asked.
"So fast?"
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes: "You father and son didn't sleep last night, did you?"
"Very well, disaster relief is like putting out a fire. All the officials in the world have the spirit of your father and son. Why don't you worry about being happy?"
"Okay, after finishing writing, submit it immediately, let Geng Yu enter the palace in person, no matter what time it is, the eunuchs are not allowed to stop him."
He personally pulled Geng Jiuchou up and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Feng, Wang Wei and the others were amazed, Geng Jiuchou was really good at flattering him, and even pushed his son out, judging by the situation, His Majesty trusted him a lot.
What disaster relief book did you write?
We can do it too!
"Zhu Qing, it's time for dinner, go to Dongnuange for dinner, and leave the palace after dinner."
Zhu Qiyu said kindly, "It's time for me to review the memorial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The cabinet ministers kowtowed and saluted before leaving the Palace of Qinzheng.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
How lucky to be alive.
Look at Yu Shiyue kneeling in the sun, it's so pitiful.
The majestic Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, kneeling shamelessly, being watched like a monkey by the officials of the Military Aircraft Department, inevitably felt sad.
"My lord, Yu Shangshu is about to faint, look..." Fei Chong came in to report.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Let him get out."
Fei Chong was taken aback. He confiscated Yu Shiyue's gift and spoke for him, simply seeing that Yu Shiyue was on the verge of collapse.
He really wanted to slap himself in the face, serving in front of the imperial court, one must be cautious in words and deeds.
Made a big taboo.
Yu Shiyue was on the verge of falling, entered the Hall of Qinzheng, knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Who is it for?"
Zhu Qiyu, who was reviewing the memorial, looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Did I treat you so poorly? Huh? I want to pass out and let the subjects of the world poke my spine, right?"
"Wei Chen has no such intentions, absolutely not!" Yu Shiyue trembled with fright, her voice became high-pitched, and tears kept streaming.
"Crying? Still wronged?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I punished you, and you feel wronged? So you blame me? Right?"
"No, no, I don't have it! I beg your Majesty to enlighten me!" Yu Shiyue kowtowed desperately.
"If you don't, I will accept your useless tears!"
With a bang, Zhu Qiyu smashed the memorial on the imperial case: "I deal with government affairs for six hours a day, who do I complain to?"
"Who should I cry to when I am most helpless?"
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry!"
"You wander around every day and enjoy the power of the Ministry of Justice, are you not satisfied?"
"Come here to shed tears and pretend to be pitiful?"
"If you really feel wronged, you might as well crash to death here!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed at the Optimus Wooden Pillar: "I won't stop you! I won't save you! Hit me!"
How dare Yu Shiyue!
Believe it or not, if he dares to bump into him, the emperor dares to punish his nine clans!
If you let the emperor bear the infamy, the emperor will let your nine clans suffer!
"My minister hates himself for being incompetent and unable to help His Majesty!" Yu Shiyue burst into tears.
"If you don't hit me, your tears will be collected!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "In this life, the most useless thing is tears! What's the use of crying? Can it solve the problem? Can it be exchanged for other people's sympathy?"
"No! It can only be exchanged for the ridicule of others!"
"You have been an official for half your life, from official to Shangshu, why do you want me to teach you this truth?"
"I have really become your own father!"
"Your own father never disciplined you, but I have to discipline you! How decent!"
Don't look at Yu Shiyue's age, he is a few rounds older than Zhu Qiyu, but he has to obediently call you Junfu. The emperor can scold him, which means that he is still saved.
Otherwise, the emperor would have ordered him to retire and return home.
Yu Shiyue wiped away her tears: "Thank you Jun father for teaching me!"
He is also shameless enough to recognize his father directly.
"I don't have a son as old as you!"
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Get up."
Yu Shiyue seems to have received an amnesty.
"I want to abolish the Criminal Department, you go home and farm..."
Pfft!
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Yu Shiyue knelt on the ground softly: "Your Majesty, although the Ministry of Punishment is at the end of the six departments, it cannot be without it!"
"I didn't see any use!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty wants the Ministry of Punishment to be of any use, and the Ministry of Punishment can be of any use. All the ministers are at His Majesty's command!" Yu Shiyue lay flat and accepted his fate.
Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with him: "I said, let me tell you everything, what use is it for you? Just let me be the minister of the Ministry of punishment!"
"I obey the order, go home and farm!" Yu Shiyue cried again.
What a waste, just know how to cry.
"Cry again?"
Yu Shiyue quickly stopped her tears and kowtowed.
"Head up!"
Zhu Qiyu stared at his eyes, but his eyes were red and did not shed tears, so he let him go: "If you cry again, I will let someone beat you, let you cry enough!"
"Yu Shiyue, you are a veteran, you should understand my great achievements."
"I'll give you another chance."
"Ministry of Punishment, you can't go on with a vegetarian meal."
Zhu Qiyu felt that the beating was almost done, so he started to talk about the business: "The Ministry of Industry used to be the least popular, but now the Ministry of Industry has become the most popular department in Beijing. The Ministry of Punishment should also change."
"In the past, the Ministry of Punishments, which governed the world's criminal names and the decrees of criminals, probation (inspection), and confinement, should change now."
"Start with the ticket number..."
"Yu Shiyue, if I entrust the management of the world's merchants to you, might you manage them well?"
Yu Shiyue was stunned.
The management of merchants is the power of the Ministry of Households and the palace. Could it be that the emperor was worried that the Ministry of Households would not be able to get rid of the tail, so he used the Ministry of Punishment?
"Answer me!" Zhu Qiyu got angry when he saw him, whimpering like a bitch.
"I dare not say that I can manage it well, but I will do my best!"
Power falls on the head, how could Yu Shiyue push it out?
"I originally wanted to replace the Ministry of Punishment with the Ministry of Commerce."
"And the Ministry of Household Affairs is already too busy. If the government affairs are handed over, there will be too much to deal with with Geng Jiuchou and a few people."
"And the Ministry of Commerce is too weak. It is easy to establish, but difficult to dismantle."
"I see that the people in your Ministry of Punishment are all idle, and you have officials from all over the world, but you can use the servants of the private yamen to manage those merchants."
"In this way, the center can collect more taxes, and the Ministry of Punishment will also have income, so the position will not be embarrassing."
"Yu Shiyue, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty is extremely wise. The criminal names in the world are the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the servants in the world should be under the management of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"
Yu Shiyue also understood that the emperor wanted to bring local power into the center.
Officials such as servants, soap officials, criminal names, etc. in the civil yamen must be collected into the central center and then used as appropriate.
This is the reason why the emperor reused the Ministry of Punishment.
"Stop flattering, can you do well?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Your Majesty delegated power to the Ministry of Punishment, and the minister dared to issue a military order, and he would not disappoint His Majesty!" Yu Shiyue had to change herself if she didn't want to go home and farm.
"it is good!"
Zhu Qiyu cheered up and said, "I will give you a year to first take over the power of local officials and transfer them to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and then set up the Ministry of Commerce to coordinate merchants from all over the world! Cooperate with the three banks to complete the coordination of bank notes!"
"My minister obeys the order!" Yu Shiyue had this confidence.
"Go ahead, recruit people if there is a lack of people, don't ask about their background, just look at their ability, if they can be used by the Ministry of punishment, they will be sent to the Ministry of punishment to serve the court!"
Zhu Qiyu urged: "First get the capital in order, then take over the power of officials in Shandong and Xuanzhen, and then slowly spread it to the whole country."
"My minister obeys the order!" Yu Shiyue was full of confidence.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Qiyu sent Yu Shiyue away.
Continue to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Li Xian from Liaodong has sent the secret music!" Feng Xiao came in from the outside and put the secret music on the case.
Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial, put it aside, took it over and opened it after confirming the wax.
Immediately, brows frowned.
Li Xian reported that there was a change in Karaqin, and the army was being assembled, and the target was unknown.
"coming!"
Zhu Qiyu suspects that Harqin's goal is Daming.
At the end of the secret memorial, Li Xian's personal opinion is attached. He believes that the purpose of Karaqin's assembly of an army is to attack Daming.
When Liaodong received the news, Li Xian personally went to the front line to inspect the defense.
"Fortunately, Li Xian is in Liaodong!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Li Xian is capable, but he is too selfish!"
"Where is Yu Qian?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao.
"Returning to the emperor, Yu Taibao is still in Liqing Shandong, and Governor Lin is in Qufu, urging the Kong family to move." Feng Xiao reported.
"Decree, speed up!"
Zhu Qiyu handed the secret memorial to Feng Xiao: "Take two copies and send them to Yu Qian and Lin Cong."
Beijing is empty and unable to support Liaodong.
You can only count on Yu Qian.
"Are merchants from Liaodong in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
It’s true that I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes. Last time in Xuanzhen, merchants had an affair with Wala, which caused the army to lose consecutive battles. This time I will remember it.
"Returning to the emperor, when the Tatar mission came, you issued an imperial edict to force the merchants from Liaodong to enter Beijing." Feng Xiao replied.
That's right.
At that time, the court guessed that the Liaodong Conference was about to start, and he immediately issued an order to order the Liaodong merchants to move to the capital.
"Can you go to the capital?"
"Not yet!" Feng Xiao replied.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened: "Go and remind, within ten days, merchants from Liaodong will come to the capital, and those who don't will be punished!"
"Give Li Xian an order to seal off the border, keep a close eye on merchants, and not allow him to contact foreigners in private. Anyone who has contacts, even if they are suspicious, will be killed directly! There is no need to report to the center!"
"Send Ti to ride out of Beijing, and give Li Xian the Emperor Sword, the right of expediency!"
"Pass the decree to Cao Yi again, wear the seal of General Zhenglu, act as the general officer of Liaodong, and guard against Liaodong! Shang Ren counselor military affairs!"
"Fei Chong, you go out of Beijing to guard the eunuchs for Liaodong! I have given you the flag of the king's order. When it is absolutely necessary, you can use the flag to transfer Shandong to prepare the Japanese army!"
Zhu Qiyu issued a series of orders.
Let Cao Yi coordinate the military affairs in Liaodong, let Shang Ren counselor check and balance each other, and authorize Li Xian to check and balance Cao Yi with expedient power.
He also sent the personal eunuch Fei Chong out of Beijing to confer the flag of Wang Ming, which is not superfluous, but actually checks and balances Yu Qian.
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Fei Chong knew that the emperor sent him out of Beijing because he spoke for Yu Shiyue, so the emperor kicked him out of Beijing as punishment.
Those who serve the emperor can only pretend to be the emperor in their hearts.
This is the emperor's desire for power.
"Fei Chong, I'm telling you the truth, with Yu Qian, Li Xian, and Cao Yi guarding, Liaodong can't be lost."
"However, I want to push the border north!"
"When you arrive in Liaodong, you have to discuss everything with Li Xian and Yu Qian, and explain to them what I mean, and they will naturally discuss with me at the secret concert."
"Help me take a look at the local conditions and customs of Liaodong, and see how Liaodong has been governed these years!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't speak clearly.
But Fei Chong knew that the emperor wanted to test Li Xian and Yu Qian's mind.
Let’s talk about Li Xian, the emperor cut off his in-laws with the Kong family and drove him to Liaodong. The emperor was not sure whether he had any hatred in his heart.
As for Yu Qian, he left Beijing after recovering from a serious illness. It is unknown what he thinks now, and Fei Chong needs to find out.
"My servant understands the emperor's will!" Fei Chong thought deeply.
When he called Tan Yunxian at the beginning, he could see it.
So Zhu Qiyu picked him to go.
"Ask some people from Duzhijian, Changwei, and Tiqi to follow." Zhu Qiyu urged again.
Liaodong is also a piece of fat, let's see how they fight.
"The slaves obey the order."
After sending Fei Chong away, Zhu Qiyu watched the secret performance repeatedly.
Cao Yi and Shang Ren did not hear the secret performance, so it is estimated that their thinking is similar to that of Li Xian.
"My lord, Geng Yu has arrived." Feng Xiao took advantage of Zhu Qiyu's tea break to speak.
"Xuan come in."
Zhu Qiyu kept his eyes on the melody and read it over and over a dozen times, trying to deduce the situation in Liaodong from the melody.
"My minister, Geng Yu, sees Your Majesty!" Geng Yu bowed politely.
"Get up, I heard from your father, it's edited? Hurry up and let me see."
Geng Yu handed Feng Xiao a thin booklet.
Feng Xiao presented it.
Zhu Qiyu opened it and laughed immediately: "That's right, it smells like that!"
Geng Yu Danqing's wonderful pen, simple strokes, easy to grasp, very vivid.
"Is it still a bit obscure?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, I feel that I understand very well." Geng Yu was puzzled.
"I think it's really straightforward, but those farmers don't know a single big character, and I'm worried that they still don't understand..."
"Well, take it to the street and ask a few people to see if they can understand it."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If you can understand it, you can publish it and try to get one volume at a time, and read it in turn so that the common people can see it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance." Geng Yu saw the emperor happy, and the stone fell from his heart.
This time you don't have to go to Jiangxi to suffer, right?
"Not to mention giving pointers, but your booklet has made great contributions."
While Zhu Qiyu was speaking, Feng Xiao moved to Jindun and asked Geng Yu to sit down.
The emperor didn't say anything, but Feng Xiao understood what the emperor meant.
After thanking Geng Yu, he touched half of his buttocks.
"Geng Yu, get a good night's sleep after returning home, and then compile a simple book on famine relief, so that the world will know how to prevent and relieve disasters."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Geng Yu kowtowed respectfully.
"Well, there is no need to be strict in Qinzheng Palace. You compiled this booklet really well. Just compile it according to this method."
Zhu Qiyu had an idea: "Geng Yu, you said that the court compiled some villain books to enlighten the people of the world, how about it?"
"Ah?" Geng Yu didn't follow the emperor's train of thought.
It was too jumpy.
"Look, ordinary people will definitely not be able to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but if it is compiled into a comic book, people can learn a few words while watching the fun, that would be good."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Yu with great interest.
Geng Yu immediately smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, what's the use of your painstaking efforts to enlighten the common people? Learning should be grasped from children. What can adult men do if they know how to read and write? They can't be eaten!"
He speaks more bluntly.
Zhu Qiyu nodded unexpectedly: "You are right, you should show it to the children. You said that I spend money to let the children study for a year, how about it?"
"Your Majesty's love for the people is greatly admired by me."
Geng Yu respectfully kowtowed: "But Your Majesty, ordinary people are working at home in their teens. How can they have the energy to study? And they can't take the imperial examination after studying for a year. What's the use?"
"Besides, how much money is needed to support the world's children to study for a year, the court must not be able to support it!"
"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to consider it practically."
Geng Yu is really courageous.
It is short of scolding the emperor directly, flashy, and illusionism.
The palace servants in the Palace of Qinzheng were all sweating for him.
"You're right."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "I take it for granted, but it would be good if I could print some comic books and show them to the children, so that the children can recognize a few words and at least write their own names."
"Besides, it doesn't cost much money to print a few books. This is a good thing for the benefit of the people of the world. I think the rich people in the world should also contribute."
The palace people were shocked, and the emperor was not angry at all.
It is estimated that Geng Yu has understood the emperor's psychology, and his words are not astonishing.
But Geng Yu was full of helplessness, the emperor was going to grab the wool of the rich again.
Do you really want your child to read?
Or simply want to toss the world's wealthy?
can you be honest
Today’s Dragon Boat Festival, the author also went to the park. It’s been more than a month. I went out for a walk for the first time. As it turned out, it rained suddenly and scattered people. It rained for more than an hour. The author cried and returned. Home... How are you guys doing today?
(End of this chapter)
West Gate.
The Donghua Gate is still under construction, and Zhu Qiyu is sitting in the hole of the gate.
More than a dozen selected merchant representatives knelt on the ground, surrounded by martial law.
"I ordered you to come here because I want to chat with you, so you don't have to be restrained." Zhu Qiyu didn't let them get up.
A dozen or so businessmen, although they are the branches of the major business gangs, are also people with huge family fortunes, but at this moment they can only kneel respectfully on the stone slab and listen to the hadith.
"You have been in Beijing for a while, but you haven't set up business in Beijing. What's the reason?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cao Min and others have just arrived in Beijing, and they don't understand the environment in Beijing, so they haven't bought a house and started business for a long time."
The person who spoke was Ma Rui, who came from Huizhou merchants. He came to Beijing and was ready to be treated as a fat sheep. How could he care about doing business? He was just waiting for the emperor to stab him.
"Then do you understand now?" Zhu Qiyu could hear the perfunctory in his tone.
"This……"
Mary didn't dare to say it.
"What? Am I a man-eating tiger? Are you so afraid of me?" Zhu Qiyu's tone sank.
Ma Rui hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, not even daring to say it.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold.
"Caomin was originally doing business in Luzhou Prefecture, and he didn't know much about the environment in central Beijing. Recently, he fell into a serious illness because of acclimatization, so he didn't know what to do for a long time." Ma Rui said tremblingly.
"What are you doing in Luzhou Mansion?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin is in the tea business."
"Then you can also do tea business in Beijing. The wealthy people in Beijing don't know how many people there are. They can sell whatever goods they have. Don't worry, just do your old business."
Zhu Qiyu's words shocked the merchants.
What do you mean?Wait for us to buy property, and then harvest us?
"Your Majesty, you, you..." Ma Rui wanted to say, are you going to kill us?
"What? Do you think I have worked so hard to order you to go to Beijing to kill people?" Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
"Caomin has no such intentions, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Ma Rui kowtowed.
"Let me tell you straight."
"The businessmen from all over the world are ordered to enter Beijing in the hope that the northern economy will prosper."
"Presumably you also know that the court is fighting a war, and after the war, it will be rebuilt. You merchants are needed."
"That's why I worked so hard to send you into Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I wonder, why do you think so? I ordered you to enter Beijing to kill people?"
Did you not know what you did before?
Ma Rui didn't dare to say it directly, and kept kowtowing, insisting that he didn't.
"Hmph, if you think this way, you are too narrow-minded, am I a tyrant?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
Ma Rui didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, not a tyrant!"
Other merchants followed suit.
However, there was no response from the emperor for a long time.
In front of the Xihua Gate, there was an eerie silence.
"Slandering the king, is it something you and other lowly people deserve to do?" Zhu Qiyu shouted suddenly.
It was only now that Ma Rui came to his senses, a businessman is a lowly citizen, how could he be qualified to judge the emperor!
"Your Majesty, please spare me!" Ma Rui and other merchants kowtowed.
Some are timid, and have peed their pants in fright.
"Ten sticks per person!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy and cold: "I'm a gentleman, what crime is it to speculate on Tianxin? Haven't you read the Law of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Evaluating Junfu, you will be beheaded!"
"do you know?"
"What are you guys, dare to comment on Junfu? Can you guys comment on me? Ah!"
More than a dozen merchants were so frightened that they peed their pants.
It is a great crime to punish the nine clans to judge Junfu!
It's all Ma Rui's fault, what nonsense are you talking about, it's killing us all!
The important officials of the cabinet glanced at the emperor and rolled their eyes. It was you who asked others to evaluate, but the board fell on him. You are too overbearing!
But they will not intercede for merchants.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The wooden stick fell on the merchant's body, and it hurt in his heart, but he didn't dare to cry out.
Fortunately, the will was written before coming here, but all the clansmen will be killed, who will read the will?
After the ten rods were struck, the merchants all lay down on the ground.
The eunuch kicked them and told them to kneel. They could only endure the severe pain and knelt on the hard stone slab, behaved well.
After a while, Zhu Qiyu's voice came: "Forget it, I am a benevolent monarch, so I will not pursue this crime."
"Remember, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, so don't slander the king in your heart!"
"Everything you have is given by me, you should know how to be grateful."
"I give you death, that is also the emperor's favor!"
"Understand?"
Zhu Qiyu played with people's hearts.
"Caomin and others are deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!" A dozen merchants wailed loudly and escaped the catastrophe.
"Shouldn't you laugh when you're happy? Why are you crying!" Zhu Qiyu shouted abruptly.
The merchants quickly put away their tears, knelt down neatly, not daring to move.
It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger.
"It's pretty obedient."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "I ordered you to come to encourage you to buy property in Beijing."
After being beaten with a killing stick, which merchant would dare to go against the emperor's wishes!
The cabinet officials saw it and understood that the emperor really didn't want his reputation.
Just like the yamen servants, first give someone a killing blow, and then try the case. Right and wrong are all in the hands of the officials, and it depends on who gives enough gifts.
"I know, you are just a side branch of the family."
"Those main sects are watching the fire from the other side, watching with cold eyes!"
"But it won't be long before they are all going to Beijing. I have already sent a large army out of Beijing to suppress the bandits along the road. Do they dare not go to Beijing?"
"However, you are earlier than them, and you have capital in your hands."
"You are more obedient than them, and I will bestow favor on you."
"Jingzhong, Shandong, and Xuanzhen can all invest, and I have no restrictions."
Ma Rui and the others were dumbfounded. You support us in business, why did you beat us up?
"There is no need to be afraid of the Royal Firm. Although it has the reputation of the Royal, it is also a fair competition with you. I will not favor them. Just rest assured."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly.
Merchants are all dumbfounded, it's a great thing!
It's a good deal to exchange ten sticks for such a huge bargain!
Although they are offshoots of business gangs in various places, they all have money in their hands, have been in business for generations, and have no shortage of experience.
The emperor gave them a chance, and they could do it, no worse than the main suzerain.
The courtiers, however, understood the emperor's tricks and slapped Tianzao, after which the emperor would do what he had to do.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of business in Beijing can be done by the grassroots?" A Su businessman asked cautiously.
"Of course, there are no restrictions, you can do whatever you want, as long as you operate properly."
Zhu Qiyu looked at them: "Do you have any doubts?"
Ma Rui and the others were ready to move, but they dared not say anything.
"Since there is no one, just follow what I said."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he changed the topic: "Everyone, it is very inconvenient for the court to transfer money frequently."
"So I plan to open a ticket number and use silver tickets instead of silver, which is convenient for transshipment, saves expenses, and is also convenient for merchants all over the world."
ticket number?
It turns out that the emperor wanted to be a ticket number!
The courtiers immediately understood that the emperor wanted to scrap the banknotes and use the banknotes instead, and then pay the salary in the future, would he just issue papers?
"Your Majesty, Caomin and others are not in the ticket office business." Ma Rui didn't want to meddle.
Other merchants followed suit.
"It doesn't matter what kind of business you do, the important thing is to know that I want to be a ticket number that goes through the world, that's all."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Ma Rui, you really don't know how to understand the emperor's heart, you interrupt me all the time?
That's right.
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to issue bank notes to save transportation costs.
Dongchang is investigating the post delivery system of the Xuanzhen Line, and has already found signs of it. Although it is only a sign, Zhu Qiyu saw a huge amount of money and food entering the pockets of these people!
He wanted to be a bank before, and use the world's money to relieve the financial pressure on the central government.
But due to helplessness, I couldn't continue, so I started from the ticket number.
Businessmen like Ma Rui are not interested in the grand plans of the emperor, they just want to make small money safely and be a happy little businessman.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu had to force them.
"What? Can't you support the court?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
Ma Rui shivered, and his back was sore, which made him sober. In front of the emperor, they had no room to bargain!
"The grass people support, the grass people support!" Ma Rui was terrified.
All the merchants kowtowed.
"Support is easy."
Zhu Qiyu stood up, did not go under the sun, it was too hot: "I plan to open a few ticket numbers."
"One opened in the name of the court and placed under the household department;"
"One opened in the name of the Royal Trading Company and placed in the Royal Trading Company;"
"Open one more, in my own name."
"The ticket number I want to open is not for you to release loan sharks to harm the common people, but to contribute to the transfer of materials for the central hub!"
"I don't need to tell you about the ticket number issued in the name of Chaotang and Royal Trading Company."
"The ticket number opened in my name, I plan to give you a chance to bathe in the emperor's grace, and every household, put some money into it..."
Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, you are waiting here!
Last time it was a direct kill, this time it's a soft knife!
Your method of robbery is getting better and better every time, I'm convinced!
Zhang Feng secretly gave a thumbs up, a little bit envious of Geng Jiuchou, if this ticket number is opened, the household department will have living money in the account, and life will be comfortable.
Ma Rui and the others are all merchants. When it comes to business, the emperor's brains are not as fast as theirs. He knows it as soon as he hears it, and he is regarded as a fat sheep and slaughtered.
"The establishment of a bank is also good for your business!"
"You come and go, do business in Zhili in the north and south, don't you need to transfer?"
"With the ticket number, just take the bank ticket with you."
"Besides, I let you invest in the shares, and there will be benefits in the future. It is a favor to you. Don't you want to be rewarded by me?"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was sullen.
"Caomin is willing to invest!" Ma Rui hurriedly said, is money more important or life more important?
However, if they are allowed to enter the stock number, as long as they are fair and just, it is really profitable.
"This bank is called Sihai Bank. I will split it into 100 million shares, and one share will cost 1000 taels of silver. Each of you will share more shares."
Marui almost fell down!
The ticket number is split into 100 million shares, and one share is 1000 taels?
Why don't you grab it directly!
"Businessmen in this world must own shares. As for the amount, it will be determined by the palace planners. Every family must buy, and the dividends will be distributed at the end of the year according to the shareholding ratio."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to strike fiercely.
He has to do a lot of things, and he is short of money.
Zhang Feng clicked her tongue secretly, it's better for you to come to the money sooner!
"I don't know much about ticket numbers. You recommend some talents to come up and enter the ticket number to operate for me."
Zhu Qiyu paced and said: "This ticket number is a serious business, and it is a reputation."
"I said the ugly words first, whoever dares to damage my reputation, I will kill the nine clans!"
"Not to mention lending loan sharks, that's an evil thing that forces people to be slaves, and the ticket number is not allowed, and the ticket number is not a pawnshop, but a well-behaved ticket number!"
"Don't look at you as shareholders, but how this ticket number operates is up to me, and Da Ming Law has the final say!"
"After the ticket number is established, all the money in your family will be exchanged into bank notes, and you are not allowed to keep it at home!"
Zhu Qiyu sternly shouted: "Don't worry, not only you, but all the money of the officials and officials will be put in the ticket number!"
"In the future, all the money of the people in the world will be placed in the ticket number!"
hiss!
Marui and the others felt weak all over.
The emperor is robbing the people of the world for money!
They are all placed in the ticket number. What will happen if one day they cannot be cashed out?
Could it be that they rebelled?
"Don't worry, I won't destroy the Great Wall myself. This country is my private property. Why do I need so much money?"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "The most important thing in operating a ticket number is the issue of reputation."
"No matter when and where, you have to exchange the bank notes. As for how to prevent counterfeiting, it is a central issue, and you don't need to wait for merchants to worry about it."
"Go back and think about how many shares you want to buy in Sihai Bank."
"Wynn, you come to be the admiral and eunuch of the Four Seas Trading Company first, and you take care of it! You can recruit the counselors in the palace, and you can also recruit counselors from the outside world."
"Go back."
Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to look at these merchants anymore, and looked at Zhang Feng and the others: "Zhuqing will follow me to Qinzheng Palace."
On the way, Zhang Feng and others whispered.
Entered the Palace of Qinzheng.
Zhang Feng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that this account will not be able to open outside Beijing."
"How?" Zhu Qiyu put on a relaxed tone.
He really doesn't like merchants all over the world.
It has been almost a month since the imperial decree was issued, and less than one out of ten obediently came to the capital. If they hadn't sent troops out of the capital by suppressing the kings, they would definitely not have entered the capital.
Today, I just hit the killing stick, and didn't kill directly, which is already interesting enough.
"Your Majesty, I think there are three reasons."
"First, this ticket number has always been available in Jiangnan."
"If the court is opened, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely do things secretly, and the private bank accounts will secretly release loan sharks. How many poor people will be frightened when they hear the bank account numbers. Should the central government take the blame?"
"Secondly, do you charge the currency exchange fee? If you don't accept it, what kind of income will the ticket number receive? How to support it? If you accept it, are merchants willing to use banknotes? How can banknotes be protected from counterfeiting?"
"There is also the issue of silver custody. It's okay to say in Beijing, how much does it cost to transfer silver in so many cities across the country? And how to supervise it? If eunuchs are sent in, will it turn into a royal store again?"
"Thirdly, this ticket number belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Is it official or private? If it is official, will you be granted an official position? How much will the central government increase its expenses?"
"Your Majesty set up a ticket number and still need to transfer the money. It's just for the convenience of merchants all over the world. What benefits can you receive?"
Zhang Feng was orderly and well-spoken.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Get up, it's all on point."
"Let me first talk about the original intention of building this bank. The old matriarch is in poor health and went home on leave. I will write it down, show it to the old matriarch, and ask him for his opinion afterwards."
"Court ticketing accounts, of course all private ticketing accounts must be banned."
"Zhang Feng, you are in the center, and you can see the flood of loan sharks from the people, which shows that you know the suffering of the people."
"The reason why I want to issue bills is to accept pawnshops from all over the world into the center. Private pawnshops are not allowed, let alone accept loan sharks!"
"This usury comes out of nine out of thirteen times, I don't want to go into details."
"But it's the worst thing!"
"I want to eliminate the world's pawnshops and cut off the loan sharks from the people, starting from the ticket number."
Zhu Qiyu saw that Zhang Feng and others were puzzled, and explained: "The exchange of silver is just the beginning, it is nothing more than establishing a good reputation."
"This is the original intention of setting up the ticket number."
"You're right. This bank is only doing currency exchange business, and it's completely losing money."
"This is what I think. My Four Seas bank account is my private bank account, which is under the supervision of the eunuch;"
"The ticket number of the court is the official ticket number, which is managed by the household department and has officials;"
"The ticket number of the Royal Commercial Bank is the ticket number of the Zhu family, and it is also a private ticket number."
"The bank of the Chaotang, the household department and the internal funds jointly bear the silver, it is called the Daming bank."
"Exchange fees are required. After all, transshipment and safekeeping of silver both cost money. As for how much to charge, it will be calculated by the accounting department of the household department and reported to the higher authorities. I will then decide."
"As for how to prevent counterfeiting, the court should think carefully about it. If something is profitable, someone will take the risk of beheading to do it!"
"The anti-counterfeiting issue needs to be resolved, and the invoice number can only be issued after it is resolved. This matter will be discussed later."
Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu stood up and turned twice on the ground: "Feng Xiao, how much money do you have?"
Feng Xiao glanced at the courtiers.
"It's okay, say it." Zhu Qiyu has always been frugal, and he is reluctant to spend, so what can't he say?
"My lord, if you count jewelry, there are about 500 million taels."
hiss!
The emperor is really capable of tossing about. It's only been a month, and it took more than 300 million taels?
Prodigals are not as defeated as you!
But all the money was spent locally.
"I will contribute 300 million taels, and the Ministry of Households will also contribute 300 million taels."
Zhu Qiyu was lenient this time: "I own [-]% of the shares, and the household department owns [-]%. It doesn't matter if I don't have any money now, I will use my money first, and then return it to me when the household department makes money. The [-]% will be counted as interest."
All over the world, relying on merchants from all over the world will have a lot of money, and there is no need to pay money from internal funds.
He didn't set aside the silver taels of the royal bank, obviously, he was waiting for others to pay.
"Your Majesty, half from the palace/court, naturally it should be split fifty-fifty." Geng Jiuchou quit.
As the secretary of the household department, he has to hold the pocket of the household department.
"Then do you have money?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"No." Geng Jiuchou was also honest.
"That's it. I will lend you 300 million taels, and I will return it to you when the autumn tax is collected. It will be [-]% interest. Is it high?"
Geng Jiuchou glanced at the cabinet and muttered, "Your Majesty just said that loan sharks will be abolished..."
"Is this usury?" Zhu Qiyu was impatient.
Geng Jiuchou was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, but he still insisted: "It's a big deal to pay back some interest, and I can't eat [-]% of it. According to the calculation of the four-sea ticket number, that [-]% is a huge amount of money! The Ministry of Households refuses to let this [-]%! "
"Okay, then you can borrow it yourself, as long as you can borrow 300 million taels as a reserve, I don't care, is it okay?" Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Geng Jiuchou kept his mouth shut.
Zhang Feng and Wang Wei looked up at the sky. The weather was fine, obviously saying that they must be divided equally.
"Succeed, I won't argue with you, I will share it equally, and if you collect the autumn gift, you can give me the interest." Zhu Qiyu backed down a step.
Geng Jiuchou immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, you have 500 million taels of silver in your pocket, and they are all jewelry. How can you lend 300 million taels to the household department?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at him, it's endless, right?
I want to cheat you some money, is it so difficult?
Everyone is so good?
"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Household Department, this account must be settled clearly, otherwise I will not be able to account to Your Majesty!" Geng Jiuchou was excited.
Break up with the emperor, and then explain to the emperor, you are playing.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned speechless, he wanted to be a white wolf with nothing, and earn some interest.
"You win, and I don't want any interest!"
Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair angrily.
Geng Jiuchou hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty, Zhang Feng gave him a thumbs up, it's wonderful that someone who wants money meets someone who wants money.
"When the Daming Bank, the Royal Bank, and the Four Seas Bank are established, other bank accounts are not allowed among the people."
"As for merchants not wanting to spend the exchange fee, that's up to them."
"Forcibly prohibit private bank transfers. Once discovered, the bank will be confiscated and returned to the public. I will serve three years of labor!"
"Let... the Ministry of Punishments be in charge!"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Yu Shiyue: "The Ministry of Cabinet, the Secretary of General Administration, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are so busy every day that they hit the back of their heads, but the Ministry of Punishment is leisurely and leisurely every day. I pay for you to support you. Is it for the old man?"
"The humble minister is guilty!" Yu Shiyue trembled in fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"The Ministry of Punishment should also move around, contribute to the court, and share the worries for me!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Every time I discuss national affairs with the Ministry of Justice, you don't say a word. I don't mention the Ministry of Punishment this time, and I forget it. Are you still a minister of the Ministry of Punishment? There is also the Ministry of Punishment in the Sixth Ministry! I have forgotten all about it." !"
Yu Shiyue was dripping with cold sweat, not understanding why the emperor took his anger out on him.
"Tell me, what can you do?"
Zhu Qiyu inexplicably remembered that this Yu Shiyue had taken refuge in him before, and then jumped back, and had been pretending to be dead all these days.
It's very hot when you mention it, it's useless at all, the corpse is a vegetarian meal!
"The humble official governs the Xing Prison in the world..."
"But do you care?"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him: "Those people from Shanxi go to the Department of General Affairs to annoy people every day, what are you doing?"
"The responsibility doesn't fall on your head, so you just go around slacking off, don't you?"
"You are called lazy politics, do you understand!"
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!" Yu Shiyue was drenched in cold sweat.
Only then did I understand that the emperor was angry with those Shanxi merchants who went to trouble the General Secretary every day, saying bad things about the factory guards, but he was actually referring to Sang scolding Huai, scolding the emperor.
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu kicked him over: "You know you are wrong! You are wrong! You can do nothing, go home and farm as soon as possible, don't get in my eyes here!"
Yu Shiyue quickly got up and knelt on the ground again.
"Can you do it?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Yes, yes." Yu Shiyue was trembling all over.
"What can you do?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Yu Shiyue's mind went blank, unable to explain why.
"waste!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Ten slaps on the mouth to wake him up!"
After hearing the imperial decree, the eunuch entered the palace and directly smoked Yu Shiyue.
The cabinet ministers trembled.
Suddenly remembered.
This Palace of Qinzheng is the Palace of Devils.
How many important ministers did the emperor kill here!
Hu Yan is not here today, their lives are really on the line.
No one dared to intercede for Yu Shiyue, and no one could understand the emperor's mind.
"Go out and kneel!"
Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath, and sat back on the chair: "Get up, and continue discussing. People who are useless in the future don't have to stand in the hall. Go back and farm, don't block my eyes!"
"I like capable and thoughtful officials, not a bunch of kowtowers, let alone flatterers!"
"To serve me, you must show your true skills!"
"Otherwise, they will all go home and farm, and future generations will stop studying, forget about farming! What's the use of reading for such a person! Stupider than a pig!"
The cabinet ministers who had just stood up all knelt on the ground again.
"Get up."
"For this ticket number, the Ministry of Household Affairs is too busy, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice will help."
"Let them work, don't be idle and eat dry food every day!"
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and said: "The ticket number still needs to be considered in the long run. Zhang Feng, you have a lot of ideas. You and Geng Jiuchou work together to think of a perfect plan."
"But don't worry about failure. If you make a mistake, you can correct it. Daming won't get better in a day."
"As long as you work diligently and do practical things for the people with your heart, I, the emperor, will be happy from the bottom of my heart. I can give you whatever you want!"
"Even if one day, you want to split the soil and divide the king, I will give it to you!"
The officials hurriedly knelt down, who would dare to ask for this!
Is Yu Qian's contribution great? As long as he dares to ask for it, the emperor dares to kill him. What are you kidding, the king can easily give it to him?
A few more words of advice.
"Your Majesty, Geng Yu is compiling the disaster relief booklet at home, and it must be finished in the afternoon, can you submit it to the palace?" Geng Jiuchou kowtowed and asked.
"So fast?"
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes: "You father and son didn't sleep last night, did you?"
"Very well, disaster relief is like putting out a fire. All the officials in the world have the spirit of your father and son. Why don't you worry about being happy?"
"Okay, after finishing writing, submit it immediately, let Geng Yu enter the palace in person, no matter what time it is, the eunuchs are not allowed to stop him."
He personally pulled Geng Jiuchou up and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Feng, Wang Wei and the others were amazed, Geng Jiuchou was really good at flattering him, and even pushed his son out, judging by the situation, His Majesty trusted him a lot.
What disaster relief book did you write?
We can do it too!
"Zhu Qing, it's time for dinner, go to Dongnuange for dinner, and leave the palace after dinner."
Zhu Qiyu said kindly, "It's time for me to review the memorial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The cabinet ministers kowtowed and saluted before leaving the Palace of Qinzheng.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
How lucky to be alive.
Look at Yu Shiyue kneeling in the sun, it's so pitiful.
The majestic Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, kneeling shamelessly, being watched like a monkey by the officials of the Military Aircraft Department, inevitably felt sad.
"My lord, Yu Shangshu is about to faint, look..." Fei Chong came in to report.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Let him get out."
Fei Chong was taken aback. He confiscated Yu Shiyue's gift and spoke for him, simply seeing that Yu Shiyue was on the verge of collapse.
He really wanted to slap himself in the face, serving in front of the imperial court, one must be cautious in words and deeds.
Made a big taboo.
Yu Shiyue was on the verge of falling, entered the Hall of Qinzheng, knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Who is it for?"
Zhu Qiyu, who was reviewing the memorial, looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Did I treat you so poorly? Huh? I want to pass out and let the subjects of the world poke my spine, right?"
"Wei Chen has no such intentions, absolutely not!" Yu Shiyue trembled with fright, her voice became high-pitched, and tears kept streaming.
"Crying? Still wronged?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I punished you, and you feel wronged? So you blame me? Right?"
"No, no, I don't have it! I beg your Majesty to enlighten me!" Yu Shiyue kowtowed desperately.
"If you don't, I will accept your useless tears!"
With a bang, Zhu Qiyu smashed the memorial on the imperial case: "I deal with government affairs for six hours a day, who do I complain to?"
"Who should I cry to when I am most helpless?"
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry!"
"You wander around every day and enjoy the power of the Ministry of Justice, are you not satisfied?"
"Come here to shed tears and pretend to be pitiful?"
"If you really feel wronged, you might as well crash to death here!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed at the Optimus Wooden Pillar: "I won't stop you! I won't save you! Hit me!"
How dare Yu Shiyue!
Believe it or not, if he dares to bump into him, the emperor dares to punish his nine clans!
If you let the emperor bear the infamy, the emperor will let your nine clans suffer!
"My minister hates himself for being incompetent and unable to help His Majesty!" Yu Shiyue burst into tears.
"If you don't hit me, your tears will be collected!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "In this life, the most useless thing is tears! What's the use of crying? Can it solve the problem? Can it be exchanged for other people's sympathy?"
"No! It can only be exchanged for the ridicule of others!"
"You have been an official for half your life, from official to Shangshu, why do you want me to teach you this truth?"
"I have really become your own father!"
"Your own father never disciplined you, but I have to discipline you! How decent!"
Don't look at Yu Shiyue's age, he is a few rounds older than Zhu Qiyu, but he has to obediently call you Junfu. The emperor can scold him, which means that he is still saved.
Otherwise, the emperor would have ordered him to retire and return home.
Yu Shiyue wiped away her tears: "Thank you Jun father for teaching me!"
He is also shameless enough to recognize his father directly.
"I don't have a son as old as you!"
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Get up."
Yu Shiyue seems to have received an amnesty.
"I want to abolish the Criminal Department, you go home and farm..."
Pfft!
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Yu Shiyue knelt on the ground softly: "Your Majesty, although the Ministry of Punishment is at the end of the six departments, it cannot be without it!"
"I didn't see any use!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty wants the Ministry of Punishment to be of any use, and the Ministry of Punishment can be of any use. All the ministers are at His Majesty's command!" Yu Shiyue lay flat and accepted his fate.
Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with him: "I said, let me tell you everything, what use is it for you? Just let me be the minister of the Ministry of punishment!"
"I obey the order, go home and farm!" Yu Shiyue cried again.
What a waste, just know how to cry.
"Cry again?"
Yu Shiyue quickly stopped her tears and kowtowed.
"Head up!"
Zhu Qiyu stared at his eyes, but his eyes were red and did not shed tears, so he let him go: "If you cry again, I will let someone beat you, let you cry enough!"
"Yu Shiyue, you are a veteran, you should understand my great achievements."
"I'll give you another chance."
"Ministry of Punishment, you can't go on with a vegetarian meal."
Zhu Qiyu felt that the beating was almost done, so he started to talk about the business: "The Ministry of Industry used to be the least popular, but now the Ministry of Industry has become the most popular department in Beijing. The Ministry of Punishment should also change."
"In the past, the Ministry of Punishments, which governed the world's criminal names and the decrees of criminals, probation (inspection), and confinement, should change now."
"Start with the ticket number..."
"Yu Shiyue, if I entrust the management of the world's merchants to you, might you manage them well?"
Yu Shiyue was stunned.
The management of merchants is the power of the Ministry of Households and the palace. Could it be that the emperor was worried that the Ministry of Households would not be able to get rid of the tail, so he used the Ministry of Punishment?
"Answer me!" Zhu Qiyu got angry when he saw him, whimpering like a bitch.
"I dare not say that I can manage it well, but I will do my best!"
Power falls on the head, how could Yu Shiyue push it out?
"I originally wanted to replace the Ministry of Punishment with the Ministry of Commerce."
"And the Ministry of Household Affairs is already too busy. If the government affairs are handed over, there will be too much to deal with with Geng Jiuchou and a few people."
"And the Ministry of Commerce is too weak. It is easy to establish, but difficult to dismantle."
"I see that the people in your Ministry of Punishment are all idle, and you have officials from all over the world, but you can use the servants of the private yamen to manage those merchants."
"In this way, the center can collect more taxes, and the Ministry of Punishment will also have income, so the position will not be embarrassing."
"Yu Shiyue, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty is extremely wise. The criminal names in the world are the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the servants in the world should be under the management of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"
Yu Shiyue also understood that the emperor wanted to bring local power into the center.
Officials such as servants, soap officials, criminal names, etc. in the civil yamen must be collected into the central center and then used as appropriate.
This is the reason why the emperor reused the Ministry of Punishment.
"Stop flattering, can you do well?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Your Majesty delegated power to the Ministry of Punishment, and the minister dared to issue a military order, and he would not disappoint His Majesty!" Yu Shiyue had to change herself if she didn't want to go home and farm.
"it is good!"
Zhu Qiyu cheered up and said, "I will give you a year to first take over the power of local officials and transfer them to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and then set up the Ministry of Commerce to coordinate merchants from all over the world! Cooperate with the three banks to complete the coordination of bank notes!"
"My minister obeys the order!" Yu Shiyue had this confidence.
"Go ahead, recruit people if there is a lack of people, don't ask about their background, just look at their ability, if they can be used by the Ministry of punishment, they will be sent to the Ministry of punishment to serve the court!"
Zhu Qiyu urged: "First get the capital in order, then take over the power of officials in Shandong and Xuanzhen, and then slowly spread it to the whole country."
"My minister obeys the order!" Yu Shiyue was full of confidence.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Qiyu sent Yu Shiyue away.
Continue to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Li Xian from Liaodong has sent the secret music!" Feng Xiao came in from the outside and put the secret music on the case.
Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial, put it aside, took it over and opened it after confirming the wax.
Immediately, brows frowned.
Li Xian reported that there was a change in Karaqin, and the army was being assembled, and the target was unknown.
"coming!"
Zhu Qiyu suspects that Harqin's goal is Daming.
At the end of the secret memorial, Li Xian's personal opinion is attached. He believes that the purpose of Karaqin's assembly of an army is to attack Daming.
When Liaodong received the news, Li Xian personally went to the front line to inspect the defense.
"Fortunately, Li Xian is in Liaodong!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Li Xian is capable, but he is too selfish!"
"Where is Yu Qian?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao.
"Returning to the emperor, Yu Taibao is still in Liqing Shandong, and Governor Lin is in Qufu, urging the Kong family to move." Feng Xiao reported.
"Decree, speed up!"
Zhu Qiyu handed the secret memorial to Feng Xiao: "Take two copies and send them to Yu Qian and Lin Cong."
Beijing is empty and unable to support Liaodong.
You can only count on Yu Qian.
"Are merchants from Liaodong in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu asked suddenly.
It’s true that I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes. Last time in Xuanzhen, merchants had an affair with Wala, which caused the army to lose consecutive battles. This time I will remember it.
"Returning to the emperor, when the Tatar mission came, you issued an imperial edict to force the merchants from Liaodong to enter Beijing." Feng Xiao replied.
That's right.
At that time, the court guessed that the Liaodong Conference was about to start, and he immediately issued an order to order the Liaodong merchants to move to the capital.
"Can you go to the capital?"
"Not yet!" Feng Xiao replied.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened: "Go and remind, within ten days, merchants from Liaodong will come to the capital, and those who don't will be punished!"
"Give Li Xian an order to seal off the border, keep a close eye on merchants, and not allow him to contact foreigners in private. Anyone who has contacts, even if they are suspicious, will be killed directly! There is no need to report to the center!"
"Send Ti to ride out of Beijing, and give Li Xian the Emperor Sword, the right of expediency!"
"Pass the decree to Cao Yi again, wear the seal of General Zhenglu, act as the general officer of Liaodong, and guard against Liaodong! Shang Ren counselor military affairs!"
"Fei Chong, you go out of Beijing to guard the eunuchs for Liaodong! I have given you the flag of the king's order. When it is absolutely necessary, you can use the flag to transfer Shandong to prepare the Japanese army!"
Zhu Qiyu issued a series of orders.
Let Cao Yi coordinate the military affairs in Liaodong, let Shang Ren counselor check and balance each other, and authorize Li Xian to check and balance Cao Yi with expedient power.
He also sent the personal eunuch Fei Chong out of Beijing to confer the flag of Wang Ming, which is not superfluous, but actually checks and balances Yu Qian.
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Fei Chong knew that the emperor sent him out of Beijing because he spoke for Yu Shiyue, so the emperor kicked him out of Beijing as punishment.
Those who serve the emperor can only pretend to be the emperor in their hearts.
This is the emperor's desire for power.
"Fei Chong, I'm telling you the truth, with Yu Qian, Li Xian, and Cao Yi guarding, Liaodong can't be lost."
"However, I want to push the border north!"
"When you arrive in Liaodong, you have to discuss everything with Li Xian and Yu Qian, and explain to them what I mean, and they will naturally discuss with me at the secret concert."
"Help me take a look at the local conditions and customs of Liaodong, and see how Liaodong has been governed these years!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't speak clearly.
But Fei Chong knew that the emperor wanted to test Li Xian and Yu Qian's mind.
Let’s talk about Li Xian, the emperor cut off his in-laws with the Kong family and drove him to Liaodong. The emperor was not sure whether he had any hatred in his heart.
As for Yu Qian, he left Beijing after recovering from a serious illness. It is unknown what he thinks now, and Fei Chong needs to find out.
"My servant understands the emperor's will!" Fei Chong thought deeply.
When he called Tan Yunxian at the beginning, he could see it.
So Zhu Qiyu picked him to go.
"Ask some people from Duzhijian, Changwei, and Tiqi to follow." Zhu Qiyu urged again.
Liaodong is also a piece of fat, let's see how they fight.
"The slaves obey the order."
After sending Fei Chong away, Zhu Qiyu watched the secret performance repeatedly.
Cao Yi and Shang Ren did not hear the secret performance, so it is estimated that their thinking is similar to that of Li Xian.
"My lord, Geng Yu has arrived." Feng Xiao took advantage of Zhu Qiyu's tea break to speak.
"Xuan come in."
Zhu Qiyu kept his eyes on the melody and read it over and over a dozen times, trying to deduce the situation in Liaodong from the melody.
"My minister, Geng Yu, sees Your Majesty!" Geng Yu bowed politely.
"Get up, I heard from your father, it's edited? Hurry up and let me see."
Geng Yu handed Feng Xiao a thin booklet.
Feng Xiao presented it.
Zhu Qiyu opened it and laughed immediately: "That's right, it smells like that!"
Geng Yu Danqing's wonderful pen, simple strokes, easy to grasp, very vivid.
"Is it still a bit obscure?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, I feel that I understand very well." Geng Yu was puzzled.
"I think it's really straightforward, but those farmers don't know a single big character, and I'm worried that they still don't understand..."
"Well, take it to the street and ask a few people to see if they can understand it."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If you can understand it, you can publish it and try to get one volume at a time, and read it in turn so that the common people can see it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance." Geng Yu saw the emperor happy, and the stone fell from his heart.
This time you don't have to go to Jiangxi to suffer, right?
"Not to mention giving pointers, but your booklet has made great contributions."
While Zhu Qiyu was speaking, Feng Xiao moved to Jindun and asked Geng Yu to sit down.
The emperor didn't say anything, but Feng Xiao understood what the emperor meant.
After thanking Geng Yu, he touched half of his buttocks.
"Geng Yu, get a good night's sleep after returning home, and then compile a simple book on famine relief, so that the world will know how to prevent and relieve disasters."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Geng Yu kowtowed respectfully.
"Well, there is no need to be strict in Qinzheng Palace. You compiled this booklet really well. Just compile it according to this method."
Zhu Qiyu had an idea: "Geng Yu, you said that the court compiled some villain books to enlighten the people of the world, how about it?"
"Ah?" Geng Yu didn't follow the emperor's train of thought.
It was too jumpy.
"Look, ordinary people will definitely not be able to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but if it is compiled into a comic book, people can learn a few words while watching the fun, that would be good."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Yu with great interest.
Geng Yu immediately smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, what's the use of your painstaking efforts to enlighten the common people? Learning should be grasped from children. What can adult men do if they know how to read and write? They can't be eaten!"
He speaks more bluntly.
Zhu Qiyu nodded unexpectedly: "You are right, you should show it to the children. You said that I spend money to let the children study for a year, how about it?"
"Your Majesty's love for the people is greatly admired by me."
Geng Yu respectfully kowtowed: "But Your Majesty, ordinary people are working at home in their teens. How can they have the energy to study? And they can't take the imperial examination after studying for a year. What's the use?"
"Besides, how much money is needed to support the world's children to study for a year, the court must not be able to support it!"
"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to consider it practically."
Geng Yu is really courageous.
It is short of scolding the emperor directly, flashy, and illusionism.
The palace servants in the Palace of Qinzheng were all sweating for him.
"You're right."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "I take it for granted, but it would be good if I could print some comic books and show them to the children, so that the children can recognize a few words and at least write their own names."
"Besides, it doesn't cost much money to print a few books. This is a good thing for the benefit of the people of the world. I think the rich people in the world should also contribute."
The palace people were shocked, and the emperor was not angry at all.
It is estimated that Geng Yu has understood the emperor's psychology, and his words are not astonishing.
But Geng Yu was full of helplessness, the emperor was going to grab the wool of the rich again.
Do you really want your child to read?
Or simply want to toss the world's wealthy?
can you be honest
