Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 546 Our Boss is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet (Subscribe!!)
Li Shanchang's face looked grim. He originally thought that he had won the game, but Zhu Biao's words made the situation unstable again.

The situation has become like this, could it be that Ouyang Lun is still trying to turn the tide?

This is simply a pipe dream. Li Shanchang will naturally not let Ouyang Lun's idea come true.

Li Shanchang could no longer hold back and said, "Ouyang Lun, His Majesty has just made it very clear that opening up loans to the people is not a wise move. You still refuse to give up. Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty asked you to explain, that was to give you a way out, but you are ungrateful and you won't cry until you are in your coffin!"

"Ouyang Lun, the court is no longer a place where you, Ouyang Lun, have the final say!"

As soon as Li Shanchang said this, he opened fire with all his might, as if he wanted to make Ouyang Lun dare not speak.

But Ouyang Lun didn't care about what Li Shanchang said. "If the people have money, they will not borrow money, but are all the people in the Ming Dynasty rich? How will he live? How will he go to school?"

"In order to make a living, they dare not reclaim wasteland, and can only work as tenants of local landlords. Now the Ming Dynasty has implemented nine-year compulsory education, but this only waives tuition fees, and there is also living expenses. This is not a small amount?! If you don't have money, you can only give up! The Ming Dynasty will lose another talent!"

"Some people will definitely say they will borrow from relatives and friends, but after all, they can't borrow much, and it will also consume their favors. So they can only borrow from loan sharks, and then they will be forced to break up their families by loan sharks!"

"But if we can get loans from the imperial court, the people will have a minimum guarantee, they won't have to ask for help from others and won't have to worry about being cheated, and many social conflicts will be resolved or alleviated."

"As for the issue of the court's loan handling causing adverse effects, in fact, from the beginning I never thought of the court directly lending money to the people. Instead, I wanted to make good use of the silver cabinets and let them handle this business. Silver cabinets in various places have already conducted preliminary trials, and the results have been good. The things that Lord Li said did not happen."

"In addition, because the Ming Dynasty has developed smoothly in recent years, not only the court has money, but even the people have money. Many people have chosen to save this money. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the people are tired of poverty, and no one wants to live in poverty again!"

"But it is not a good thing for the people to just save money. This will lead to a slowdown in economic development, which will cause a decrease in the court's income!"

"The Ministry of Revenue has all the records and statistics I mentioned. Your Majesty can retrieve the data from the Ministry of Revenue for review."

"The Ming Dynasty's industry, manufacturing, construction, etc. are all booming, but domestic consumption is a big problem. People are afraid to spend their money, and consumption cannot keep up. Soon all industries will reach a peak, and then they will fall back quickly. The economic growth rate will slow down, the stock market will be affected and fall, and even chaos will occur!"

"The purpose of opening up loans to all citizens is not to earn interest and service fees, but more importantly, to become a tool for the court to regulate the economy and encourage people to spend more."

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, many officials were stunned, because they didn't know much about the economy and just felt that he was being overconfident.

Zhu Biao took a deep breath. He had followed Ouyang Lun for so long that he naturally understood all this, but he had never thought of coming here and did not expect things to be so serious.

In addition, Zhu Biao would not doubt the authenticity of these words, because under the management of Ouyang Lun, the Ministry of Revenue had already reached a very high level in statistics of various aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao was moved by this. The situation in the Ming Dynasty could not be in chaos, and the economy could not have any problems.

Moreover, Ouyang Lun had just solved all the things that Zhu Biao was worried about.

But the opinions of Li Shanchang from the Huaixi Party cannot be ignored!
"Your Majesty, the economy is the foundation of a country. If we cannot develop the economy well, many things will not be accomplished. According to the development speed of our Ming Dynasty, the peak time of various industries may be at the end of this year, or at the latest next year. If we do not plan and prevent in advance, the economy of Ming Dynasty will inevitably be hit hard by that time. If we want to develop again at that time, it will inevitably take more time and experience!"

"These problems can be solved by making arrangements in advance while the Ming treasury is well-stocked."

"As long as there is enough domestic consumption cycle, Daming can open more factories, whether it is a steel mill or a printing factory, or a car factory, a shipyard, and many commodity production factories. The products produced by these factories can be sold!"

"Won't the money just keep coming in?"

"In a few years, the economy of the Ming Dynasty will reach a new level, and these factories will continue to upgrade their technology and expand their production capacity to produce better products!"

Now, the civil and military officials gradually understood what Ouyang Lun said, and excitement appeared on their faces.

Zhu Biao asked, "But if this is the case, there will still be a peak. What should we do then?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun smiled, "Your Majesty, this is a very good question. If we are really about to reach that point, then it will be time for our products to go abroad!"

"We sell what we produce abroad and make money from them!"

"The products produced with the support of our internal circulation will have great advantages in terms of quality and price. Even if others have similar products, it doesn't matter, because those who are better than us are not cheaper than us, and those who are cheaper than us are definitely not as good as ours. Such high-quality and low-priced products will naturally be able to quickly seize the market!"

"After we make money from our products abroad, we can buy all kinds of raw materials from abroad at low prices, ship them back to China, and after some processing, sell them at several times or even dozens of times the price!"

"Of course, we can't make all the money by ourselves. We can make money with some countries that are close to our Ming Dynasty. In this way, we will have endless money to make!"

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao was shocked, stunned, expectant, and suddenly realized!
At this moment, Zhu Biao had a feeling that this was the true way for the Ming Dynasty to develop.

As expected, when it comes to economics, ten thousand Li Shanchangs are no match for Ouyang Lun!
At this moment, Zhu Biao had almost made the decision in his heart.

The civil and military officials were all shocked at this moment, and they were deeply impressed by Ouyang Lun's long-term plan. Moreover, the plan was so perfect that it made people shocked and excited at the same time!
Li Shanchang felt as if he had eaten a piece of Coptis chinensis at this moment, his mouth was bitter, but he could not find the right words to refute.

"What Prince Consort Ouyang said is very much in line with my wishes. I didn't expect that a mere loan would have such a far-reaching impact. In this case, I will follow Prince Consort Ouyang's words and open up loans to ordinary people!"

"This matter is still under your full responsibility, Prince Consort Ouyang. All departments of the court must fully cooperate!"

Zhu Biao was so excited that he even stood up from the dragon throne, then walked to Zhu Biao and raised Ouyang Lun's hand, "Prince Consort Ouyang is truly a pillar of the Ming Dynasty! The position of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet belongs to him!"

boom!
Zhu Biao's words were like a thunderclap exploding in the Taiji Hall.

After hearing the news, all the civil and military officials were silent for a moment, and they all looked at Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao in disbelief as if they were dumbfounded.

The chief minister of the cabinet!

Ouyang Lun has only been in the cabinet for a short time!
You should know that all the people in the cabinet are very senior, such as Song Lian, Lu Chang, Li Shanchang, etc. None of them are senior officials, and they all entered the cabinet before Ouyang Lun. But now Ouyang Lun has become the prime minister of the cabinet!

Of course everyone knew that with Ouyang Lun's ability, it was only a matter of time before he became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but no one expected that this day would come so soon!

Ouyang Lun already had great power, and now he has become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. He is truly second to none!
This was the first time that the officials of the Huaixi Party felt that there was a counter-trend.

The chief minister of the cabinet is the head of all officials, to put it bluntly, he is the prime minister!
It can be said that once Ouyang Lun really became the prime minister of the cabinet, even if the officials of the Huaixi Party were thick-skinned, they would be embarrassed to say that they were the largest political party in the Ming Dynasty. Invisibly, the officials of the Huaixi Party felt inferior when they met the officials of the Prince Consort Party.

Huaixi Party officials: Our boss is a cabinet minister and a military cabinet general!
Officials of the Prince Consort’s Party: Our boss is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Huaixi Party official: Our boss is a Huaixi noble!
Officials of the Prince Consort’s Party: Our boss is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Huaixi Party official: We, the Huaixi Party, have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!

Officials of the Prince Consort’s Party: Our boss is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Huaixi Party official: Damn, can you change the sentence? !

Officials of the Prince Consort’s Party: Our boss is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Huaixi Party official - dead!

Ouyang Lun, who became the chief minister of the cabinet, would undoubtedly become a huge mountain weighing on the heads of the Huaixi Party officials.

Thinking of this, a group of Huaixi Party officials stood up and shouted hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

"Although Ouyang Lun has made some contributions, the emperor has conferred him a title, and a double title. Now Ouyang Lun has only proposed a solution, and this solution has not been implemented. We don't know what the final effect will be. Isn't it too hasty to rashly appoint Ouyang Lun as the chief minister of the cabinet?"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Such an important position as the Cabinet Prime Minister must not be appointed lightly!"

"If you can't convince the people, how can you be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?"

Except for the officials from the Prince Consort's party, other officials at the scene basically expressed opposition.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet is the highest civil servant and the leader of the civil servants. Ouyang Lun may be capable enough, but in terms of qualifications and emotions, it is really hard to accept!

The most dissatisfied person has to be Li Shanchang!
According to Li Shanchang's plan, after Zhu Biao ascended the throne, he and the Huaixi Party would have new opportunities, and the position of the prime minister of the cabinet would be in his pocket!
After all, looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, those who are more experienced than him are not as capable as him, and those who are more capable than him are not as experienced as him. Moreover, he is the first prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and is definitely the best candidate to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.

Even Ouyang Lun cannot compete with him for this position for the time being.

Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very hard. No one expected that Zhu Biao would appoint Ouyang Lun as the chief minister of the cabinet in front of all the civil and military officials. This not only did not take into account his and the Huaixi Party's face, but was also a slap in the face to him!

Absolutely not!

Li Shanchang shouted in his heart, then stepped forward a few steps and knelt in front of Zhu Biao, "Your Majesty, I object!"

"The Prime Minister of the Cabinet is the head of all officials. Now most officials are clearly opposed. Your Majesty, please follow the will of the people!"

Swipe!

Most of the officials in the court followed Li Shanchang and knelt down.

Um! ?

Zhu Biao was also a little surprised when he saw the many kneeling officials. He had thought that some officials would oppose, but he did not expect the opposition to be so strong.

"What if I insist on appointing Prince Consort Ouyang as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?"

Zhu Biao's face was gloomy and he said in a deep voice.

"If Your Majesty still insists, we, the officials, can only kneel here for a long time to show your determination!"

Li Shanchang said loudly: "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Brush, brush—!
Other officials also followed suit and kowtowed to Zhu Biao.

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

"Duke Han Guo!" Zhu Biao's face became more and more ugly. This was simply forcing him!
This forced Zhu Biao into a corner. If he continued to insist, so many officials would have to kneel down for a long time.

Just when Zhu Biao was thinking about how to deal with this matter.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

When this voice sounded, everyone in the Taiji Hall was shocked and looked towards the gate of the Taiji Hall.

next second.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in with his hands behind his back and a domineering look on his face.

"Your subjects have greeted the Retired Emperor. Long live the Retired Emperor!"

When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming in, all the officials present saluted obediently.

"My son has met my father!"

Zhu Biao also hurried forward to salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ignored the ministers. Instead, he took Zhu Biao's hand and sat back on the dragon throne.

"Humph!"

"I have only rested for less than a month, and you bastards are already forcing me to abdicate. Very good, very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it is really against the rules that His Majesty the Emperor wants to appoint Ouyang Lun as the chief minister of the cabinet. I am also thinking about the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the country!"

An official from the Huaixi Party stepped forward and said.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"I am the head of the Ministry of Justice."

Before the official could finish, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him and said, "You, a mere official in charge of the Ministry of Justice, dare to refute my words. Very good!"

"Here comes someone!"

"I am here." Ji Gang walked into the Taiji Hall.

"Put this disrespectful bastard into the Jinyiwei prison and execute him on a certain day!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Ji Gang waved with one hand.

Two Jinyiwei rushed in and grabbed the official.

The official was so frightened that he sat on the ground with weak legs, wailing and begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I will never do it again, please spare my life!"

"Korean Lord, save me!"

"Duke Liang, save me!"

No matter how the official wailed, no one in the Taiji Hall dared to stand up and plead for him from beginning to end.

Even after the official was taken away, the Taiji Hall remained silent.
