Mingshi

Chapter 1507

Zhang Juzheng's lips moved, but in the end Luo Xin said softly, "Taiyue, I know that you have always had ideals, and you want to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. But your ideals conflict with your mentor. But you are still young, Can afford to wait, take your time."

"Yes..." Zhang Juzheng's eyes turned red, as if he saw his confidant: "I can afford to wait, but Daming can't afford to wait."

"However, there are some things I can't remember."

"I know, I'm only telling you these words, even my mentor doesn't know. But you will support me, right?"

"I don't know!" Luo Xin slowly shook his head.

"why?"

"If I think it's right, I will naturally support it. But I guarantee that there will be no selfishness involved. Even if our two camps are hostile in the future, as long as it is right, as long as it is beneficial to Daming and the people of Daming, I will Will support. We will be a gentleman's friend."

"No way..." Zhang Juzheng's eyes turned redder, his face full of excitement.

"Taiyue..." Luo Xin also expressed sincerity.

Until Luo Xin sent Zhang Juzheng out of the gate, the two of them still had sincerity, touch and approval on their faces, as if they were confidants.When Zhang Juzheng turned around, the sincerity, touch and recognition on Zhang Juzheng's face disappeared instantly.Standing at the gate and watching Zhang Juzheng's back gradually disappear, the sincerity, emotion and recognition on Luo Xin's face also gradually disappeared.

After returning to the lobby, Tao Xingyan walked in and said softly, "What is he here for?"

Luo Xin then told Tao Xingyan the content of the conversation between him and Zhang Juzheng in detail.Tao Xingyan nodded and said:

"A whip is indeed a solution, but what Zhang Juzheng is worried about is right. Once His Majesty agrees to a whip, there will be no shortage of copper coins immediately, and there will be a money shortage. If this can't be solved, there will also be big troubles. No weapon, precious money is real." Can't it?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "At least not now, there is no time."

"What should I do?"

"It's actually not difficult." Luo Xin said lightly: "The reason why there is a money shortage in the Ming Dynasty is because the only currency in the Ming Dynasty is copper coins, and gold and silver are actually not in circulation.

The reason why gold and silver are not in circulation is not that the people of Ming Dynasty do not recognize gold and silver, but because there is almost no gold and silver produced in Ming Dynasty, and there is very little gold and silver.However, today is different.The establishment of the Shibo Division has connected us with overseas vassal states, and it can be said that a maritime silk road has been established.Those vassal states, especially the West, have a large amount of gold and silver, especially silver, which can be said to be rich in output.Their silver is much cheaper than Daming.

Do you know what is the exchange rate for gold and silver in Daming? "

"Of course I know this. Our family is not small. Now in Daming, one tael of gold can be exchanged for five taels of silver."

"Then do you know how much silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold in the West?"

"How many?"

"Minimum ten taels!"

"Minimum ten taels?" Tao Xingyan's voice was doubled.

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Actually, through the conscious operation of the Shibo Department in the past few years, a large amount of silver has flowed into Daming from the west. As long as the Shibo Department continues to operate, Daming will no longer be short of silver. "

"what do you mean?"

"Build silver coins."

Tao Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood immediately.Then he thought for a while, his eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and said:

"Good idea. Have you already talked to Zhang Juzheng?"

Luo Xin looked at Tao Xingyan like an idiot, and then slowly uttered three words: "Why?"

"Hehe..." Tao Xingyan smiled happily: "Aren't you afraid that you will speak out? You once said that as long as there is a chance, you will cooperate with Zhang Juzheng?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Luo Xin said angrily.

Tao Xingyan ignored Luo Xin, but thought for a while and said: "I think this whip is good, do you think Zhang Juzheng can succeed?"

Luo Xin curled his lips. It was recorded in history that it was not Zhang Juzheng who finally succeeded in this whip, but Gao Gong.Moreover, Xu Jie still didn't agree, and after a long debate in the court, he finally designated several state capitals as pilot projects.Then it was promoted.Without the support of Gao Gong and himself this time, Zhang Juzheng would definitely not be able to succeed, because he would have to face opposition from Gao Gong, Xu Jie and himself. Just think about it, the forces of these three parties would definitely not be able to succeed.

"Then what should we do?" Tao Xingyan asked.

"Xu Jie will definitely not agree. This person's personality and way of thinking are destined to prevent him from carrying out such a big reform. He is too cautious. He has been in the cabinet with Yan Song for too long, and the small things have lost their vigor. Instead, Once Gao Gong knows the reform method of a whip, he will definitely agree and fight for it. However, this was proposed by Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong's character is stubborn and stubborn, so he will not agree. So, we can only wait. .”

"Wait?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "When Zhang Juzheng can't convince Xu Jie, and he can't see me coming out, come look for me."

"why?"

"Because even if I propose it, without Gao Gong's support, this whip cannot be implemented. Don't underestimate Xu Jie's power. And it will not maximize the benefits."

"Maximize the benefits?"

"Don't forget the plan we made at the beginning." Luo Xin said lightly: "We joined forces with Zhang Juzheng, on the one hand, for the common ideal, and on the other hand, it also created distrust between Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng. So, no urgent."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin chuckled and said: "Last time Zhang Juzheng put me in a position to write a letter before me, and now I naturally want to set him up to write a letter ahead of him. He will be in the first grade of junior high school, and I will be in the fifteenth grade!"

"That's right!" Tao Xingyan slapped his thigh and said, "That's how it should be. I'm still not angry about what happened last time, but this time we're ahead of him."

"No need to grab!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "He, Zhang Juzheng, can do these worthless things, but I, Luo Xin, can't do so. You should be as upright as possible. Conspiracies cannot last forever, but plots can last forever. I Let him take the initiative to ask me to take the first shot."

"Will you take the initiative?" Tao Xingyan asked with an attitude of asking for advice: "The plan will come out?"

"It's very simple. Didn't you just say that? He Zhang Juzheng can't do anything alone, because his biggest reliance Xu Jie disagrees. Under the condition that Xu Jie disagrees, he naturally knows that he will not succeed and needs me. But he also knows that once he pulls me into the water, this first achievement is not his, and it cannot be his. Before he persuaded Xu Jie, he did not dare to write a letter blatantly. It would be a break with Xu Jie. So Will definitely come to me again.
