"What is Gao Gong doing?"

After Wei Guangde reiterated the plan that Gao Gong told him in the restaurant before, Yin Shidan's face became ugly, and he said dissatisfiedly.

He is honest by nature, but he is not a fool. He is really stupid and cannot be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. He will not be sent to King Yu to assist him by Emperor Jiajing.

"Who told me to do something wrong?"

Wei Guangde just sighed and stopped talking, but Yin Shidan did not shut up.

"A few days ago, I felt that Gao Gong changed a lot. He was arrogant when speaking and doing things. It was not an exaggeration to say that a villain was successful and domineering. I really didn't expect that he would become like this after a good life."

At this time, Yin Shidan was already a little angry and suddenly stood up and was about to walk out, but was pulled by Wei Guangde.

"Where are Brother Zhengfu going?"

Seeing Yin Shidan's current condition, Wei Guangde felt that it was not good. If Yin Shidan had a big fuss with Gao Gong, he would have really put himself on fire.

Although he also saw that what Gao Gong said to him seemed to have not informed Prince Yu's mansion in advance, and Prince Yu might not know it.

It’s a bit like killing first and then reporting. I will do the work first and then tell King Yu. At that time, King Yu probably won’t say anything, after all, this is already happening.

"You are not so stupid, are you going to Fujian and you will be allowed to be the governor and governor. This is to cut off your way to the cabinet."

At this time, Yin Shidan said things directly.

"Why"

In response to this, Wei Guangde just sighed, then let go of Yin Shidian's hand, and sat back on his seat.

"I don't know, but so what?"

After Wei Guangde sat down, a hint of pain appeared on his face and he said in depression.

Yin Shidan frowned and said, "I'm going to find Gao Gong, how can this be done?"

"Don't go, it's not good for me or you."

Wei Guangde replied.

"What else can he dare to do? Let me go to Fujian or Zhejiang?"

Yin Shidan said immediately.

"Maybe, he can really do it."

Wei Guangde glanced at Yin Shidan, then pointed to the original position he sat, signaling Yin Shidan to sit down, and then continued: "Under the banner of being good for King Yu, get rid of everyone around King Yu.

In the future, the King Yu of the capital will rely on him, Gao Suqing. We will be all outside at that time, and then we will tell King Yu that he can help him control the world, and our promotion will be under his control."

"Does he still have Sima Zhao's intention?"

Yin Shidan, who was sitting down, frowned even deeper and said in uncertainty.

"Whoever borrows him is the courage to see if he dares to do so, Sima Zhao won't, but Yan Song's second is hard to say."

Wei Guangde has also made every effort to do so at this time. From Gao Gong's changes in these days and his attitude towards him, he could feel that Gao Gong is a real villain.

Since you are a real villain, there is naturally no need to show any mercy. It’s just that you don’t tear your face in person. Don’t you dare to say it in private?

"No, I have to go back to Prince Yu's mansion and make it clear."

Yin Shidan was about to get up again, but he was stopped by Wei Guangde when he put his hand on the armrest.

"What's the use of saying this now? It's just a real person. Speaking of which, they are also doing it for our own good."

Wei Guangde shook his head and said, "I just blame myself for not doing things in a tight way and making mistakes."

Besides, King Yu would believe in you and me, or Gao Gong.”

Before, when Wei Guangde talked about Gao Gong in front of them, he always called him "Suqing", but now he is too lazy to talk about etiquette, so he just called him the name.

"If you talk about this matter then, even if you plan so much, you may not be able to accomplish anything. After all, your Majesty will make a decision in the end."

At this time, Wei Guangde could only expect Emperor Jiajing to see through Xu Jie and Gao Gong's tricks. As long as he stopped him when appointing the governor of Fujian and summoned himself to return to Beijing, there would be a chance in everything.

To achieve the only plan, Gao Zhong and even Huang Jin in the palace need him to take care of it.

No one in the court could help him, the only one who could help him was the only one in the palace.

Wei Guangde had already felt that Emperor Jiajing's personality determined that he could use a relatively strong official like Yan Song, but King Yu's personality was not good.

As long as Emperor Jiajing discovered Gao Gong's personality flaws, and considering the situation of King Yu, he would definitely need to support someone who could compete with Gao Gong and to control Gao Gong to take charge of the government.

At that time, Wei Guangde would not mind publicly standing against Gao Gong or even Xu Jie.

With the support of the emperor, Wei Guangde believed that there would inevitably be some people standing beside him at that time, at least most of his fellow villagers and the same year would choose to lean against him.

Now it's time to tear apart, Wei Guangde naturally doesn't want Yin Shidai to get rid of bad things, because the timing is wrong.

"However, Brother Zhengfu, you should also remind Brother Yifu in private to be cautious when speaking and acting, so as not to be plotted against by villains.

Whether it is for King Yu or the world, people like Yan Song must not appear again."

At this time, Wei Guangde had compared Gao Gong to Yan Song.

After listening to Wei Guangde's words, Yin Shidan sat there quietly for a long time before gradually calming down.

I don't know what he thought of, so I just nodded slightly in the end.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Wei Guangde doesn't want to go into it. He just hopes that his words can remind Yin Shidan.

According to the normal historical trend, Chen Yiqin entered the cabinet in the early years of Longqing and served as a cabinet minister for four years. However, in the first two years, Gao Gong and Xu Jie fought in the cabinet, so Gao Gong naturally wanted to win over Chen Yiqin to fight Xu Jie together.

Two years after Xu Jie's fall, Chen Yiqin was squeezed out of the cabinet by Gao Gong and forced to retire.

The one who succeeded Chen Yiqin was Yin Shidan. However, Yin Shidan entered the cabinet less than a year and was forced to retire with Gao Gong because of his "political disagreement", which caused a "cabinet boxing" incident.

However, it seemed that it was already a habit for civil officials in the Ming Dynasty to take action when they had disagreements, so most people were familiar with this.

After seeing off Yin Shidai, Wei Guangde began to think about his plans. Of course, it would not work to sit and wait for death. He also had to follow the eunuch's way. He thought about waiting for two days to chat with Chen Ju. There was no hurry now. It would take at least half a month for the official document to return to Fujian and make a resolution in the court.

This can only be done if the court is operating very quickly, but Wei Guangde does not doubt what would delay the resolution that is related to his own. Whether it is the chief assistant Yan Song, the second assistant Xu Jie, or even Gao Gong who stepped into the cabinet with half his foot, he hopes to send himself away.

Unexpectedly, I was so annoying.

Wei Guangde sighed in his heart, thinking that he had a better relationship with others, but he quietly offended all the powerful people of the dynasty. It was really not easy to mess in the officialdom.

Wei Guangde remembered some things he had seen in later generations, saying that being an official would not be at all comfortable, and his career was like sailing against the current, and if he did not advance, he would retreat.

When you enter the officialdom, you can only think about continuous progress, unless you just want to be a transparent person within the system and be a minor official at the grassroots level all your life.

In the past two years in Beijing, most of the money given by the family had been spent. Except for 20,000 taels of money that were used to lend money and collect interest every year, the rest were used to purchase ginseng from the previous year. In Beijing, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, the price of ginseng from the previous year rose sharply.

Wei Guangde didn't care much about the money he had lent, but he could probably guess that it was all borrowed by his fellow villagers in Jiujiang.

Of course they do not lack money, but they have to pay interest to the Wei Mansion every year.

With such an investment, Wei Guangde lived a comfortable life in the capital, at least he would not worry about money.

When thinking about money, Wei Guangde was naturally considering how much to send to Chen Ju and the people in the palace. The relationship should be maintained, and it would be impossible to lose the bond of interest.

Chen Ju also likes money, but he knows what money can be taken and what money can not be taken, which is more cautious than most people in the palace.

However, this time, Wei Guangde had some other ideas.

It is not possible to give money directly, so it is best to form a closer interest relationship, so that even if you go to Fujian, the relationship between the two sides will not be unfamiliar.

As for how to strengthen the connection, Wei Guangde has been considering this matter for a long time.

To be honest, Wei Guangde knew that there were not as many famous ministers in the Ming Dynasty as eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and there were quite a few famous people among the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He who was voyage to the West, Wang Zhen of Tumu Fort, Liu Jin led by the Eight Tigers of Zhengde, Huang Jin beside Emperor Jiajing, and Eight Thousand Female Ghosts under the Carpenter Emperor.

Bah, it seems that he has the same surname as him. If he finally joined the treacherous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he would be arranged like this.

Wei Guangde was sitting in the room and thinking about it all, but Wei Guangde's initial plan so far, judging from the news Zhang Ji found out, it seems that there is still some time left. It seems inappropriate to play finance now.

Yes, Wei Guangde plans to build a money shop.

Since those businessmen are willing to get money from him and are willing to pay interest, why not become bigger and stronger?

At this stage, the financial industry in the Ming Dynasty had not developed at all. Apart from pawnshops, there was only private lending.

Private lending is actually usury, but the reason for its formation cannot be blamed on others. It is really caused by the limitations of development.

In modern times, lending is just a private behavior. Because there is no credit system, lenders cannot guarantee payment from lenders. Therefore, private lending is all about large households in the same village and ethnic group lending to small households. Because the loan channels are narrow and the risks are extremely high, the interest rate is naturally not low.

Although pawnshops will collect collateral, they naturally don’t want to let the money fly away when they see the interest on private lending. Therefore, the interest on pawnshops is also consistent with the interest on private lending, which is high.

Because of the high interest rate, Wang Anshi's reforms in the Song Dynasty developed a "Qinghut Law". The original intention was naturally to reduce the burden on the borrowing of the lower-level people, especially for special funds, which can only be used for agricultural production.

Wei Guangde's idea of ​​money house was naturally not done by him alone. He also wanted to introduce some shareholders, including the eunuchs in the palace.

Those people have a lot of money in their hands.

What Wei Guangde wanted to do was naturally to build a pure money shop. In addition to the money exchange and loan business, he also wanted to absorb deposits and lend money to make the difference.

As for the very cool silver notes I saw on TV in the past, Wei Guangde now doesn’t have the courage to make them.

Although there are already ticket collections with similar functions as silver bills among the people, ticket collections are not the main business of the shop, because most of the tickets issued are pawnshops, and they don’t issue many tickets, and most of them rely on real transactions.

In other words, in the view of pawn shops or shops, the issuance tickets are very risky and are not their main business. The reason why this function is retained is mainly to facilitate customer transactions.

Wei Guangde felt that the anti-counterfeiting process was too troublesome, and he did not have that power, even if he limited the use of the banknotes to local and was not allowed to be used in other places, he would not have such a strong credit.
