Chapter 205 Bleaching Usury

Yang Reform watched this guy keep bumping his head against the floor, and his heart softened a little. If Li Ruolian didn't intervene in this matter, I'm afraid that the guys in the Imperial College will all be waving white strips. Even the courtiers will not be too embarrassing for these juren without the custom or the climate. I am afraid that at that time, it will really become such a situation that the prison can be punished with white papers. At that time, the courtiers will not feel sorry for money. But there was no place to cry.

This white note matter hit Li Ruolian's death spot, and Li Ruolian had no choice but to find a way to sabotage this matter.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform changed his mind again. In this matter, someone should have "shot" at him secretly. The person who hit him was not himself, but his subordinates; Gun", but unfortunately, he was also shot while lying down. The conclusion he came to was that no matter what the cause of the accident was, in short, this matter would have something to do with him, and he had to accept the move.

When he thinks of his group of "pig-like teammates" ruining him, Yang Reform becomes furious. Li Zicheng is not afraid of this wild boar skin, but what is terrible is his group of pig-like teammates who are always in Pull yourself back and ruin your own affairs.

"Li Ruolian, get up... Sigh..." Yang Reform sighed, it was his turn to be shot while lying down, it was really a bad idea.

Li Ruolian was already dizzy from beating his head, and when he heard the emperor calling him to get up, he got up involuntarily.

Yang Reform looked at it, and saw that this guy's head was already red with blood oozing out.

"For this matter, I don't want to pursue who is responsible, but I want to see your opinion on this matter. What are you going to do next?" Yang Reform decided to "keep" his "own people", although he My own people are a bit daring, but my own people are also my own people, and I can't give up except to keep them.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister dare not have any opinion, it's all up to His Majesty's decision..." Li Ruolian knew that it would not be easy for him to pass the test this time. Turn your face, and you're done.

The final decision-making power still rests with him. Yang Reform fell into deep thought and thought for a long time before saying, "What's the attitude of the people in the household department regarding your loan from the Guozijian?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households is quite annoyed by the IOU issue. It welcomes this method of paying money directly. It thinks that it will not default on the money owed to the Ministry of Accounts. It does not matter whether the Juren have borrowed usury from criminal officials. Caring, that's why the guilty minister is so bold..." Li Ruolian replied.

"Oh? Is that so? Then who is in charge of this matter from the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Yang Reform asked again. It seems that the Ministry of Household Affairs also played a certain role in this matter.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the person in charge of this matter is Mr. Bi Ziyan, the servant of the household department, and Mr. Bi directly intervened in the matter of collecting money from the Imperial College." Li Ruolian replied again.

Bi Ziyan?This guy seems to be one of his own!So that's the case, no wonder this matter is so easy, Li Ruolian went to the lobby of the Imperial College to lend money so easily.It turns out that from Liu Jishan, who is in charge of this matter, to Bi Ziyan, who collects money from the household department, to Li Ruolian, who is in charge of borrowing money, they are all "our own people". "Well, this up and down, working together, the seemingly impossible thing of the Guozijian lending usury in court has actually been done. From this point of view, I already have a group of people who are capable of doing some things. People who are involved in things, their own "insiders" can already network out some networks and cover some things.Thinking of this, Yang Reform secretly became happy again. This incident can also be regarded as the first time that his people have united to settle a matter.This can also be regarded as a sign of the growth of his direct lineage!Although this matter is not very open and aboveboard.

With a little bit of self-satisfaction in mind, Yang Reform feels that he must cover up this matter, because once this matter becomes an unmanageable bad thing, then his "direct descendants" will be paid by one vote. , The talents I have worked so hard to dig and recruit are all over, and my direct lineage has collapsed.This matter, I really have to find a way to cover it up.

"Since the people in the household department are very supportive of this method, then you can continue to do this and borrow money in the hall. However, this project needs to be replaced with a more open and honest one...well, in this way, you come forward and organize a bank. That is, the bank, which specializes in deposits and loans, and provides bill business for large-amount silver payments, that is, bank bills... I will discuss this with the people in the household department. Matters involving large sums of money transactions, such as collecting money from prisons and paying taxes, are all handled in the form of bills, which can reduce the inconvenience of using money directly. , the business of your bank, the money you handle must be very huge, and a certain percentage of handling fees will be charged from it. In this way, it will be enough for your bank to last for a lifetime... This matter, I can think of a way to smooth it out for you , otherwise, once this matter is brought to court by someone with a heart, once it is confirmed that you have lent usury in the imperial court, even if I want to save you, I can't save you, understand?" Yang Reform wants to save you The people who voted for me immediately tried their best to push forward the future bill business and the functions of the central bank. The country's appropriation and national income will all be collected through the bank. , This, is the embryonic form of the central bank in the future, and it also paves the way for banknotes in the future. It can also be regarded as a new way to collect money for yourself. This way, Yang Reform plans to wait until the time is more mature, and then launch it , Now being disturbed by this matter, it can be regarded as premature birth, otherwise, once this matter is said by the courtiers that Li Ruolian has lent usury for the emperor, and put it in the lobby of the Imperial College, Yang Reform will not be able to stand it.Now after Yang Reform, it has become a trial of the imperial court reform, and it has become the intention of the emperor. This, even if the ministers use Chengdan's memorials, I don't have to be afraid, everything is in the hands of the wise and mighty emperor. It was carried out under the leadership of Jin Yiwei. This on-site loan is also a reform made by the emperor in order to pilot new businesses, simplify the procedures of the household department, and facilitate payment. That's why Jin Yiwei's hundred households came forward to do this. Of course, the wise and mighty This pilot project of His Majesty the Emperor has won unanimous praise from the Ministry of Household Affairs, who thinks it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people...

"..." Li Ruolian was already dizzy from knocking his head. He knew that he had indeed gone too far this time, which put the emperor in a very passive position. Now that he heard what the emperor said, he felt that the emperor It is really more whimsical than myself, using bank notes instead of silver, instead of imperial appropriation, income and expenditure of taxes, how big is the amount of silver involved in this?

Yang Reform's thinking has entered into the fantasy of having the super golden finger of the Central Bank, and continued: "...The current situation is that this matter was ordered by you to do this for one purpose, to pilot this bill to replace Money is simplified, it is convenient for income and expenditure, and it is convenient for people to borrow money, so this is a loan that you and the Ministry of Households united in this Guozijian under my instruction, understand?" Yang Reform told Li Ruolian , this matter, I took it down by myself, and connected the rhetoric, this matter, I settled it for myself.Even if someone gets stabbed at the court meeting, the worst thing to say is that the emperor is just playing around. This is not the first time that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has played around.

Li Ruolian's already dizzy head became dizzy again.The emperor is really responsible!Li Ruolian originally planned to come out and sacrifice herself so that the emperor would not be involved in this matter. Unexpectedly, the emperor would have such a responsibility, which was far beyond Li Ruolian's imagination. The emperor in Li Ruolian's mind became taller.Then, also shed tears.

"Sinful minister... woo woo woo..." Li Ruolian wanted to cry, for his own selfishness, for his own future, he ruined this matter, and now, the emperor took care of the aftermath for him, which really touched Li Ruolian.

"Okay, don't cry, and don't call yourself a criminal. Remember, I ordered you to do this. After you go back, open a bank, which is a bank, and lend money to Juren in the name of the bank. Then Talk to Bi Ziyan from the Ministry of Accounts, so that you won’t be out of favor. This matter has become a pilot reform under my order to facilitate the borrowing of scholars and the collection of accounts by the Ministry of Accounts. It’s nothing, understand? As for the matter of the two pigs in the Imperial College... let’s leave it alone for now, let’s talk about it after the new official of the Imperial College takes office..." Yang Reform has already figured out how to make this matter as bad as possible things become good things.Regarding the two pigs of the Guozijian, although Yang Reform didn't like it, he did help him in the matter of the Guozijian, and he was going to let it go for a while.

The note business that Yang Reform has always wanted to promote, the banknotes that he has always wanted to promote, and the central bank that he has always wanted to engage in. Now that he has made a fuss about this matter, he was born ahead of schedule. Although Yang Reform had this idea before, he didn’t know where to start. , Now that this matter is forced, it can be regarded as the official start of the work of the central bank. With the central bank, there are money orders, bank notes, bill business, money storage and lending functions, and gold. , silver reserves, I can almost issue banknotes myself, and the super golden finger of issuing banknotes is exactly what I dream of.

Thinking of this, the corner of Yang Reform's mouth began to smile again. Once this golden finger is released, his ability to control the money of the Ming Dynasty and even the entire world will be greatly strengthened. Thinking that the GDP of the Ming Dynasty may account for more than 70% of the entire world. In Yang Reform's heart, joy blossomed again.

"...I obey." Li Ruolian stopped crying.The emperor took this matter for himself, seeing the emperor's appearance, with a confident smile, knowing this matter, the emperor is already sure.

"Okay, Li Ruolian, remember not to be so reckless when you do things in the future. Not every time I can find a good way to solve it. If there is any important matter, remember to report it. Do you understand? This time, your contribution is credit, and I will reward you Yes, but I’m wrong, I won’t forgive it lightly. Also, you still have to keep it a secret if I ordered you to do this. Only a few of you know about it, you know?… You go down first, and put the hair on your forehead. Treat the injury well, and don’t let the root cause of the disease fall.” Yang Reform is also reflecting on his employing skills. He may be too soft-hearted, and he doesn’t have the decisiveness to kill. This may be related to his living in the 21st century for too long. I'm used to living a peaceful life, and I'm not used to this kind of intrigue, thought-consuming, and decisive killing. It seems that I have to adapt to this Ming Dynasty!Yang Reform couldn't stop reviewing himself. He didn't always have a way to turn a bad thing into a good thing. This time, it was purely a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

"Your Majesty obeys your orders and remembers His Majesty's teachings. Your Majesty resigns..." Li Ruolian resigned and left.

In the room, Wang Cheng'en said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, the supervisor and master book of the Imperial College, have you seen your Majesty?"

Those two pigs?Yang Reform felt that it was meaningless to see those two pigs goodbye. He neither wanted to recruit or punish those two pigs who had taken refuge in him. His resentment and anger towards them had now become indifferent.

"No, I'm tired, so I'll be gone. It's not too early. Get ready to go back to the palace. I have to think about today's matter. Who is behind the scenes to ruin my big business! This, big companion, Jin Yiwei and Is there any news from Dongchang?" Yang Reform realized that he had done too much today, and it was getting late, so he should go back to the palace.But, the guy who shot coldly behind the scenes, I wouldn't let him go so easily, I rely on him, secretly playing tricks, stumbling, this kind of person is the most insidious and vicious.This kind of pig-like teammate, if you don't clear it up in time, will harm you.

Wang Chengen said with a guilty expression: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the servant has been investigated, but the time is too short, so..., there is no news for the time being, and the clue may be broken. If this guy no longer Take the shot, it is estimated that it is difficult to find out who instigated it..."

"Even Dongchang and Jinyiwei don't have any clues?" Yang Reform was a little disappointed. If in the Ming Dynasty, even Dongchang and Jinyiwei couldn't handle this matter, then this matter may really become headless. The case is settled, and I know that this time is indeed too short. From the time I discovered this matter to now, it may only take an hour or two. No matter how powerful Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are, it is impossible to catch the instigator. people come.

However, Wang Chengen obviously didn't have a clue, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although there are no clues, we can roughly deduce something."

"Oh? Those things? Tell me, buddy." Yang Reform's mind is in a mess now, not only is it loaded with information on who is the main messenger, but it is also loaded with information on how to engage in the central bank, and it is also loaded with information on how to change It is extremely powerful to manage the information under one's own hands well, and the mind is very chaotic, running several programs at the same time without crashing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my servant's deduction, the person who instigated this matter is likely to be a certain minister in the court, or even an important minister. This, my servant is basically sure." Although Wang Chengen has no direct evidence , but there are still many inferences.

"A minister in the court? An important minister? That one? Is there any basis?" Yang Reform was also shocked!In this court, the undercurrent is raging!This pig-like teammate really exists!If it is a "pig friend" lurking in his team to do bad things, then he will be in bad luck.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who can get Elder Shi Ge's post must have a certain understanding of Elder Shi Ge, so he dared to use the name of Elder Shi Ge boldly. Therefore, this person must be very loyal to the court. I am familiar with it, so it must be a minister in the court..." Wang Chengen said his own speculation.

"Well, companion, your speculation is very reasonable. It is not someone who is familiar with the imperial court or Mr. Shi Ge. I am afraid that he would not dare to use the name of Mr. Shi Ge, let alone the name of a high-ranking official of the court. Otherwise, the two pigs who are also officials of the court cannot be fooled. However, how can you be sure that it may have been done by an important official in the court? Where is the basis for this?" Yang Reform agreed with Wang Chengen's inference, but the minister and the court There is a difference between important ministers. Ministers, basically, those who are above the third rank can be regarded as the ministers of the court, and even some people with the fourth rank and lower ranks can be regarded as the ranks of ministers of the court. But when it comes to important ministers , This obviously has a different weight. Those who can be called important ministers are nothing more than cabinet scholars, ministers, and important people around the emperor. This, the number is very limited.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why the slaves dare to say that this matter involves important officials in the court is that... this..." Wang Chengen also said half of what he said. This matter has already involved the struggle for the peak power of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to say that Wang Chengen has no scruples.

"What are you afraid of? What is this? What are you afraid to say? Just say it, I won't blame you." The person Yang Reform trusts the most is Wang Chengen. No matter what, Yang Reform believes that Wang Chengen will not deceive himself. I won't hurt myself.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter may have something to do with your plan to change cabinet ministers..." Wang Chengen's voice became smaller and smaller, and after saying this, he shut up.The origin of this matter is still a struggle for power.If there is not enough interest, who has nothing to touch the emperor's cake, who has nothing to put his mind on a project in charge of an emperor's teacher, this kind of offending people does not have enough interests, who will do it?

"Change cabinet ministers?" Yang Reform asked in a low voice.related to this?Yang Reform thought for a while, and suddenly understood, and suddenly realized that if this matter is really related to the change of cabinet ministers, then the ins and outs of this matter can be explained clearly.Everything is for rights!Do whatever it takes for your rights.

"Big Companion, you mean? For the sake of the position in the cabinet, someone aimed their guns at Master Xu who was in charge of elevating the prison. By the way, it involved Elder Shi Ge, and then involved me. When I sat down in the Imperial Prison As for the fact of usury, once this incident breaks out and becomes unmanageable, then two seats will be vacated in this cabinet at once?"

Wang Chengen knew about Yang Reform's plan to change the cabinet, and some people probably could see some clues from these clues, so they made plans for the cabinet position early on.

Yang Reform thought about it. Xu Guangqi is a person he calls a master, and he is probably regarded as a popular candidate to join the cabinet. However, Xu Guangqi's foundation is too shallow, and he is an alternative in the court. If you want to get rid of the blocking stones that are cleared away, then quickly.And this chief assistant is probably regarded as a roadblock that can be removed. I am afraid that in the eyes of some people, this time the cabinet is changed. The chief assistant may not be able to hold on, so it can also be removed. object.
