The Ming Dynasty under the Chongzhen Dynasty exposed many problems. Under internal and external troubles, the most direct manifestation was the destruction of order in various fields.

The prosperous times are peaceful, and the troubled times are turbulent.

China is still the same China, and the population is still the same, but the damage caused by the order is extremely harmful to the Ming Dynasty.

"Bi Qing, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time."

Emperor Chongzhen looked serious, looked at Bi Ziyan and said: "The money law of this dynasty, from the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I have set the specifications for making money and cast a certain model for money.

If I remember correctly, each penny should weigh one penny and two and a half cents, and sixty-five penny is worth one penny of silver.

This is a policy decided by me, Yuji, to benefit the people.

However, over the years, various minting bureaus have been opened in various places. Although they are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the specifications of coins minted in various places are different and the materials used are of various colors. This can be described as an evil move by the people.

Coupled with the prevalence of private coinage in various places, the impact and impact on the money rituals of this dynasty can be said to be extremely serious, and even small coins are circulating in some places."

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly and his expression became serious.

What the Emperor was talking about was something that he had known about before, but had never dared to mention.

The existence of minting money under the rule of Ming Dynasty can be described as extremely chaotic.

Especially in recent years, disasters have occurred frequently in various places. In addition, due to the apportioned Liao and Dao rates, many local government officials have minted money privately in order to solve some practical difficulties, resulting in an extremely poor currency system.

The problems that the Ming Dynasty is facing now. If he wants to truly maintain stability, Emperor Chongzhen must pay attention to two categories, one is money and the other is food.

Money involves many fields, such as tax collection, silver discount, military pay, official salary, clan salary, coinage, etc.

Grain involves many fields, such as land tax collection, grain transfer from various places, official fields, imperial villages, agricultural production, natural disasters, etc.

‘Money’ and ‘food’ may seem to be just two words, but there are many fields and groups involved behind them, and it cannot be solved with a simple sentence or two.

"In view of such a situation, I feel that the imperial court cannot relax its supervision any further."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "If this matter is not contained, it will have a great impact on the tax collection of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the matters that Bi Qing clarified in the Ministry of Household Affairs will be in vain.

I thought about it and decided to separate the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Husbandry from the headquarters, and merge them into a special Daming Qian Law Bureau to be in charge of money and legal affairs, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Husbandry and the governor of Qian and legal affairs."

Bi Ziyan: "..."

What the emperor said shocked Bi Ziyan and showed an expression of disbelief. This matter was too big. It was obvious that there was a small household department in addition to the household department.

The key money ritual is related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty. If this is true, it will inevitably arouse heated discussions in the court and encounter opposition from many people.

Especially here at the Ministry of Industry.

In the Tianqi Dynasty, due to the corruption situation in Liaodong, the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs was added, which diverted many powers from the Ministry of Works. Now it is simply abolition of this small part of the powers of the Ministry of Works. It would be strange if the people in the Ministry of Works don't make trouble.

'The issue of coining money must be made clear. Local governments can no longer be allowed to mint money randomly, including local coining of money privately. We must also severely crack down on it.'

Looking at the shocked Bi Ziyan, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting firmly on the dragon throne, thought secretly in his heart: "The financial system of the Ming Dynasty has been damaged too seriously. If we just sit back and let it continue to be in such chaos, what will happen to the financial system of the Ming Dynasty?"

The system will have an impact that is difficult to assess.

First, from the national and dynasty level, clarify the money-making rituals, gradually cast high-quality money, clarify the money-making rituals, and then gradually narrow the local money-making rights. This can also be regarded as the follow-up, preparing to build the Ming Dynasty Bank, promoting the return of fire consumption to the public, and reform

Currency system, make corresponding preliminary preparations.'

Although the situation in the Ming Dynasty at this stage still seems chaotic, at least the balance point has been gradually found under Emperor Chongzhen's previous planning.

As long as he follows the current trend and moves forward steadily, Emperor Chongzhen firmly believes that this balance point will become more stable and eventually achieve reverse contraction.

"Bi Qing knows far more about money and legal matters than I do."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked slowly towards Bi Ziyan, and said with a serious expression: "So I decided to ask Bi Qing to take charge of Qian Fa's affairs, and to be the governor of Qian Fa.

Regarding the Qian Law Bureau, which officials should be transferred, and how to clarify all matters regarding the Qian Law, I promise Bi Qing to have the authority to do whatever is required of me. When the time comes, Bi Qing will just submit the memorial.

I have only one wish, and I hope Bi Qing can realize it as soon as possible, that is, the money rituals of this dynasty should be restored to order as soon as possible, especially the local casting bureaus, which should shrink and be abolished. "

"minister……"

Bi Ziyan looked a little hesitant, looking at the emperor with firm eyes, he didn't know what to say for a moment. The affairs he was responsible for were enough to make him work hard and mentally.

Now that there is an additional governor, Qian Fashi, one can imagine how much burden and pressure there will be in the future.

For Emperor Chongzhen, as the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty and an elite in the financial field, if Bi Ziyan did not increase his burden, many things would only get worse.

If the trend of bad money chasing good money really develops, then the fiscal and financial fields of the Ming Dynasty will completely collapse. No matter how much we do, it will all be in vain.

"I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty and for the country!"

After much hesitation, Bi Ziyan looked firm and bowed solemnly.

"Okay, Bi Qing is indeed the pillar of the country!"

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "With Bi Qing's help, I believe that the taxation of the country and even the money and rituals will be improved.

Bi Qing, feel free to do your work. If anything happens, I will stand behind you. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for Bi Qing on these matters is causing trouble for me."

It is foreseeable that what Bi Ziyan does will touch the interests of many people, and the impact and impact caused by this will inevitably come back to Bi Ziyan.

Emperor Chongzhen has always followed professional matters and left them to professional talents. What he, the great emperor of tomorrow, can do is to provide corresponding protection and wings to officials who are pragmatic and willing to work. He should not call these wise ministers and good ministers

, suffered the influence of the so-called party struggle.

If you want to make a horse run without giving it any grass, there is no such good thing in the world.

If you don't have the responsibility and the courage to take risks when you want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then you might as well become a foolish emperor as soon as possible, enjoy yourself for more than ten years, and finally hang yourself in the southeast.
