Chapter 411 Those who come are not kind, but those who are kind do not come ([-])
"So that the father can know that the matter is like this..."

Since the third master asked the question so urgently, Hong Qing didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly described all the things that happened in the study room today in detail, but did not add the slightest explanation. Personal comments are merely statements of fact.

"That's the case. It seems that Huang Ama is determined to let Hongli go to the Ministry of Industry. Oh, why bother?"

After all, the third master is not a dull person. Although Hong Qing did not hint in his words, the third master still heard the strangeness inside, not for other reasons, but because the traces of the man-made arrangement this morning were too much. It's more conspicuous, those so-called coincidences are not tenable at all, thinking about this, the feeling of disappointment in the third master's heart naturally increases.

"It's not good to come, good people don't come, Hongli's son is ambitious, and he also has the treachery of the fourth master. I'm afraid the Ministry of Industry will have trouble with it!"

What the third master can think of, Li Minquan can see through it, and he can't help feeling a lot of emotion about the old man's trick of mixing sand. Now seeing what the third master said, he didn't think about the strangeness behind this move. He casually echoed a sentence.

"Well..., the matter has come to this point, after all, there must be a way to deal with it. Master, sir, do you two have any advice?"

The matters that the old man has decided are seldom easier. Now that the matter is up to now, the third master no longer thinks about how to make the old man take back his order. All he thinks about is how to drive Hongli out of the office of the Ministry of Industry. But he didn't think about why the old man would act like this. Of course, even if he thought about it, considering the third master's intellectual calculation ability, he definitely couldn't think of a reason.

"The enemy is dark and we are clear, so we must be more cautious. However, according to Li, today we are especially strong and the enemy is weak. If we confront each other head-on, there is no need to worry too much. I am afraid that the other end of the fourth master will walk away with a sword." Slant front, if so, it's hard to guard against."

Li Minquan reached out and rubbed his swollen temples, frowned slightly, and commented helplessly.

"Well, then you don't have to guard against it. It's better to strike first and catch him off guard. This king won't believe it, but Hongli and other young children can really turn the world upside down!"

There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no such thing as a thousand days to guard against a thief, such a truth, the third master will not understand, just because he understands, the third master can't help being angry, and cursed with hatred With a voice.

"Hey, if the prince really does this, His Majesty's board is ready for the prince."

What the third master said was quite a relief, but hey, obviously it didn't make sense, Old Master Chen couldn't see it, so he sneered and interjected.

"This……"

Although the third master said angry words, he actually had such thoughts in his heart, but he choked when he heard old master Chen say this.

"Your Majesty's arrangement can be considered painstaking."

Old Master Chen glanced at the third master in dissatisfaction, shook his head, and said with emotion.

"Why did the master say such a thing?"

Hearing these strange words, the third master's eyes immediately stopped moving, and he looked at Old Master Chen in surprise, and asked with twitching corners of his mouth.

"I've said it too many times. His Majesty's mind is no longer on government affairs itself. What he thinks about is how to spend his old age in peace and stability. However, there are always disputes among the princes. Your Majesty is helpless. He can only use the principle of balance. , now that the eighth master is powerful, the prince is also powerful. If your majesty wants to use the prince to suppress the eighth master, but he is afraid that the front door will drive the tiger away, and the back door will enter the wolf. As a last resort, the fourth master must also get involved, under the restraint of each other , maybe we can get some stability, although such intentions are concealed, it is not hard to guess, so if the prince is only thinking about hitting that Hongli boy with a sap, how can His Majesty let him go lightly?"

Old Master Chen sneered, and talked casually, and after a few words, he had analyzed the old man's mentality thoroughly.

"Well... that's true, but what should I do with the Ministry of Industry?"

Finally, the third master is not so stupid, but he can understand that what old master Chen said is the truth, but he understands it. It is absolutely unacceptable for him to sit back and watch the fourth master rise up. After pondering for a while, he continued. Asked down.

"Zicheng was really right before. With Fourth Master's deceit, he definitely won't confront him head-on. It is inevitable that his sword will take a slant. As for how he will make a move, it is not very easy to judge. However, all in all , there are only a few, one is the job search department, is it right? Taking the opportunity to make trouble, this one will definitely get the full cooperation of Baye's side. If there is a real trouble, although it is invincible, I am afraid it will be enough to gain a firm foothold first. Yes, the second thing is to make some performance in government affairs to lay the foundation to fight against the little prince. In my opinion, perhaps Qian Fadang is the best choice for Hongli's children to make meritorious deeds, but Xiao Neng can do these two things. You don’t have to worry about having no place to stand.”

Old Master Chen had clearly planned the overall situation long ago. Now when he talked about the way of dealing with Fourth Master, his tone was very calm, but inside he was full of confidence.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, both the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Works can mint money. Among them, the coins minted by the Ministry of Households account for about two-thirds of the total circulation, and the rest are minted by the Ministry of Works. The minted coins do not have the right to manage them, they have to be recorded and put into the national treasury under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It went into the old man's private treasury and was planned and used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Qian Fa? This..."

The third master doesn't know much about Qian Fa, but after all, he has been in court for many years, and he still knows a little bit, but he only knows a little bit. He frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of the fourth master. How to make a fuss about Qian Fa, I had to cast my inquiring eyes on Hong Qing.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the way of money law that the master said refers to the fact that money is expensive and silver is cheap. Generally speaking, when casting, copper and lead are half and half, so unscrupulous merchants often collect money and melt it to cast copper ware. , in the blink of an eye, you can get more than [-] times the huge profits, and there are even more corrupt officials who are blatantly greedy and useless. Speaking of it, this is not unique to our dynasty. It has happened in all dynasties, but the severity is different. The reason why the pre-Ming Dynasty was defeated and landless had a lot to do with the injustice of money and silver, and my son also wanted to change this, but it involved two departments, and it was really difficult to coordinate, so I didn't touch it lightly."

Hong Qing has been in charge of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and she has a deep understanding of Qian Fa. explained.

"So that's the case. This matter has a lot to do with it. If you want to change it, what should you do?"

This time, the third master understands that the reform of the law of daring to love and money has such a great relationship. If Hongli can make it easy, coupled with the full cooperation of the fourth master, it may not be impossible to write such a big article. After reading the article, thinking of this, the third master's heart immediately twitched, and he already thought of making a move to grab the credit, but it was hard to say this, so he asked a question in a roundabout way.

"Returning to my father, if you want to change, it is easy to say. You only need to reduce the ratio of copper to lead, copper to four and lead to six, and you can slightly curb this unhealthy trend. The strength of Shang's crackdown may be able to eliminate the bad influence to a certain extent, but this is easier said than done, without the full cooperation of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment, it will be very difficult to achieve, and it is precisely because of this that the boy never moved lightly."

When it comes to solving the problem of money law, Hong Qing has a big article in mind, but before the matter is announced, Hong Qing doesn't want to talk about it, nothing else, the issue of banknotes is of course a complete solution to money law The best way to solve the problem, but in the era of imperial monopoly, it is very easy to cause the embarrassment of excessive issuance of banknotes in the Song Dynasty, and even the bankruptcy of the court. If you really want to solve this problem, you have to cooperate with the law, not in the era of constitutional monarchy. , don't even try to completely solve the problem of money law, and this is obviously not something that can be done in this era. Because of this, Hong Qing can only come up with a solution that treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Well, so to speak, this matter really can only be handled by Hongli Xiaoer. If it is done, then there will be endless troubles."

Hearing what Hong Qing said, the third master's heart for grabbing merit immediately cooled down. The two yamen will definitely not cooperate with each other, and the good scriptures will be misrepresented. Once this happens, the prestige that the third master has built up with great difficulty may not be wiped out. The third master would not dare to take this risk, but If Hongli is allowed to toss about, the third master is unwilling.

"That's not necessarily the case. If you don't know what he wants to do, the child may be worried. Now that you know his plan, the child has a plan to deal with it. It will definitely not make him proud."

The third master felt extremely troublesome, but when he came to Hong Qing, he didn't feel that there was any difficulty. Seeing the third master's brows were furrowed, Hong Qing couldn't help laughing, and responded confidently road.

"Oh? The plan will be released?"

Seeing that Hong Qing spoke so confidently, the third master suddenly regained his energy, and hurriedly questioned her.

"Father Wang Mingjian, there is actually no need to worry about this matter. Hongli is new here, so he will definitely not bring it up immediately. After all, he must first gain a firm foothold before he can mention it. Get a firm foothold, as for Qian Fa, I have a problem, but..., if so, I won’t be able to advance or retreat.”

Hong Qing smiled calmly, and explained the strategy she had planned in detail.

"Well, master, sir, do you two have any advice on this?"

After hearing Hong Qing's proposal, the third master's heart was already moved, but he didn't dare to make a decision because of the seriousness of the matter, so he cautiously threw the problem to the two counselors.

"feasible!"

Old Master Chen didn't hesitate, and gave the answer straightforwardly.

"My little prince's strategy is very clever, no matter whether he advances or retreats, it is suitable for everyone."

Old Master Chen didn't object at all, and Li Minquan, who always followed Hongqing's lead, would not have any objections at all.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Seeing that the two counselors had agreed to Hong Qing's proposal, the third master no longer hesitated, clapped his hands together, and made a decision...
