The regional war in Liaodong is in full swing. No one can say what kind of progress the pattern will evolve in the moment when the war is not over.

Emperor Chongzhen knew the cruelty of war and the impact of war on finance, so he had to do his best to plan an important matter.

Currency reform!

From preparing for the establishment of a remittance ticket number, to establishing a minister of money, to the State Taxation Department, etc., all of the things I did during this period were to rectify the finances of the Ming Dynasty and clarify the financial order.

The most core link in the Ming Dynasty is the silver issue. As long as the problem can be effectively solved, many problems are not problems.

In addition, if you want to develop industry and commerce and promote the original industrialization process, you must have a complete monetary system to meet the needs of convenient circulation.

Ganqing Palace.

The ministers of the Cabinet, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, and State Taxation Department gathered.

Influenced by the new regulations on official administration by Zhou Yanru, the entry point was to take the fire and consumption as the official. In the current Ming Dynasty, some officials with problems were impeached and investigated accordingly.

"Bi Qing, since he also received the Minister of Qianfa, has the money and law affairs of the Ming Dynasty been improved accordingly?" Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon throne, looking around the ministers with different expressions, and said calmly.

"All matters of money law are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If this matter is unknown, the impact will be great and will cause deep damage."

"Report to Your Majesty."

Under the gaze of Han, Wen Tiren and others, Bi Ziyan stepped forward and bowed: "After receiving the minister of the Money Law, he has been actively clarifying the old system of the Money Law, and in response to the indiscriminate casting of private casting, he has removed some local establishments in the face of the abuse of casting. Casting Bureau.

Since the Tianqi period, there have been considerable problems in making Tongbao coins made by the Ming Dynasty. This cannot be reversed every day, but this matter must be effectively rectified."

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Han Du, Wen Tiren and the others' reactions.

To be honest, the current chaotic monetary system of the Ming Dynasty is simply terrible.

Copper coins are used for small settlement.

Large settlement uses gold and silver.

It looks reasonable on the surface, but in fact there are many problems.

For example, quality issues, miscellaneous issues, exchange ratios, excessive casting and private casting, etc., all destroyed the monetary system of the Ming Dynasty.

The seemingly inconspicuous currency circulation involves many levels and involves many interests, which makes many groups able to make ill-gotten gains.

"If the old money law system cannot be effectively improved, it will affect the court's clear government orders. Just like the recent decision to be public, how many storms have arisen now?"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a firm look: "It is all about doing things for the dynasty and sharing the worries for the king. What the ministers have to do is to do more practical things.

But what I didn’t expect was that in the process of promoting the return of fire to public, there would be so many problems involved, and some officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will be found."

When talking about this, Han Du, Zhou Daodeng, He Rutong, Qian Xiangkun and other court officials all lowered their heads. On the other hand, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru and others stood calmly.

The emperor's statement of emphasis on facts was obviously to publicly support them in recent changes in the court, which made the ministers who criticized them in secret and even wrote memorials to impeach them, and they had no effect at all.

"Wen Qing's previous memorial involves the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. I am worried that any problems will arise between Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau involving the Money Law."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a sharp eyebrows: "I don't know if I don't check this. I'll startle it. When I check it, I'll be shocked. The two important places involved in coin minting are simply a mess.

Especially the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, it is basically in a state of shutdown.

If all of this attitude and such efficiency can ensure that all the money law in the Ming Dynasty can be steadily clarified?

Even if Bi Qing is capable, it will be useless to do anything practical if the people below do it.

So I am summoning all the officials to the palace to meet, and I will just cut off the Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoquan Bureau!”

“!

!”

All the ministers were shocked.

If the Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau are abolished, how will the court mint coins in the future?

If the right to mint coins is cut off, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty’s money law be even more unsaved?

"Your Majesty, Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau cannot be abolished."

Bi Ziyan suppressed his shock and bowed and advised, "I know that there are many problems in the above two games, but if they are cut off, there will be endless troubles.

Without Baoyuan and Baoquan Bureaus, how can the imperial court cast Tongbao coins in the future? Such important matters cannot be accomplished by the local metering bureaus..."

Bi Ziyan was really excited.

In view of the fact that Emperor Chongzhen was in the early days of the imperial examination, in order to reduce fiscal expenditure, he believed what some ministers said and passed the local posts to the sanctions, causing unassessable losses to the court and the local government.

So Emperor Chongzhen was so breathing so hard that he was really frightened Bi Ziyan.

Isn’t this losing some of the orthodoxy when the central court cut off important government agencies involved in coin minting?

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Han Du, Xu Guangqi and other cabinet ministers bowed and advised each other, saying that even if they wanted to solve the problem, it would not be solved in this way.

Emperor Chongzhen saw this scene before him, but he smiled bitterly. He had to bear all the evil committed by his predecessor. Before he finished speaking, he deliberately paused and attracted such advice. That was no one else.

.

"Your Majesty, I have a report."

Under such circumstances, Guan Shaoning, who did not follow the advice, said loudly: "I also took the post of the National Taxation Department. I left Beijing and rushed to Zhili under the orders to rectify the banknotes of various places to collect the tariffs at the center.

Good progress has been made.

However, when it comes to the tariffs on the various places in the Zhili Valley Transportation, it encounters very serious and difficult problems, that is, the quality of the silver levy is different and the content of the miscellaneous content is different. This is the tariff department when levying tariffs.

, causing great inconvenience.”

Bi Ziyan, Han Yu and others, after hearing what Guan Shaoning said, subconsciously frowned slightly, and then they came back to the scene. The emperor cut off the Baoyuan and Baoquan Bureaus, which does not mean that there will be no new yamen offices.

.

When they thought of this, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi and the others' hearts fell down immediately, but Han Dong and the others became alert.

Things don't seem simple.

"I was about to talk about this, but I was interrupted by the ministers."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and pointed at Bi Ziyan and others, saying, "Baoyuan and Baoquan Bureaus are cut off and removed. I plan to add a general minting bureau under the jurisdiction of the Qianfa Hall to specialize in the minting of the new coins of the Ming Dynasty.

Officials from the former Baoyuan and Baoquan Bureau, including the craftsmen under their jurisdiction, were transferred to the General Administration of Mints for posting through the selection of Xishan.

As for other things, the job should be transferred and investigated.

The problem Guan Qing just mentioned, I can now relieve my troubles for the family. Wang’s partner, please bring in all the new money I have made.”
