Seven hundred and tenth chapter lonely minister

"The Taifu doesn't have to worry about silver. The government affairs are not as good as the Taifu, but the silver and wealth are still worth it. The Minister of the Interior Affairs Office Dong Dianbang has been organizing auctions of snow-sha candy. Now there are Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Lu merchants and others in the north in the south of the Yangtze River, and they all came to hear the news. The Gu estimated that he could earn at least tens of millions of taels of silver. The Taifu just took it away. If it was not enough, he could also sell the prescription for Qinxiangyuan soap. These are all things for the people's livelihood. It is not suitable for the hands of the Interior Affairs Office. It is better to benefit the world by them."

When Zhao Qingshan talked about the worries of Yinkui, Jia Cong smiled and comforted him.

It is actually hard for Zhao Qingshan to imagine that a prescription could sell tens of millions of taels of silver, which is beyond the imagination of all ministers in the cabinet.

But seeing Jia Cong so confident, he couldn't say anything suspicious anymore, and even praised Jia Cong...

After all, this is auctioning the prince's private property to fill the country's use.

The auction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has only been in the past few days. If it doesn't work, Zhao Qingshan actually has other ideas. He asked Jia Cong with some difficulty, "Your Highness, as far as I know, when the late emperor was there, he actually copied a lot of home business. Most of the culprits in the palace were just cash in. In addition, there are some antique treasures and real estate stores. Will this be auctioned together?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Tao Fu, you always have to keep some family fortune for the Tian family. Although the new law has begun to spread throughout the world, the reform has finally damaged some vitality. Gu grew up outside the palace and knew that there is not much silver in his pocket now. Now he auctioned antique furniture and real estate shops, but he couldn't afford a good price. In addition, Gu kept those properties, which can be used as an official room in the future and rewarded the ministers transferred to Beijing from outside. Zuo Zhongqi, Yue Zongchang and others are still renting houses. It is not easy to live in the capital. You can't just let the horse run away and not give the horse grass, right?"

Zhao Qingshan, who had always been serious, was also teased by Jia Cong's words, and smiled a little ugly, but he was still convinced by Jia Cong.

Jia Cong knew what he was worried about, so he said, "As for those treasures... let's take a look. If you really lack money, you can sell them. Both the father and the orphans are good..."

This made Zhao Qingshan feel ashamed and said, "I am incompetent, so I asked Your Highness to sell the responsibility of Tianyi. I am guilty..."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "The new law career has just started. If the imperial court is already full of national treasury now, it would be a bad thing. Because apart from plundering people's wealth, I can't think of how the imperial court can make it rich. However, it's impossible. Such a huge empire, with only the little family's family's background, it is impossible to stop the second time. The Taifu, the imperial court still wants to open up new sources of wealth."

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, his face became serious and looked at Jia Cong and asked, "Your Highness thinks the court can open up wealth from?"

Jia Cong whispered: "The ancients said: No business is not rich, no farmer is not stable."

Zhao Qingshan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said softly: "Your Highness, the court is collecting commercial taxes..." His eyes were worried.

Now is not a good time to make big moves, and you have to wait for spring to pick up your hair...

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "The Grand Tutor doesn't have to do this. Gu will not collect commercial taxes now. The new law has touched the interests of too many people, and almost forced some people to jump over the wall. The deaths of the three princes of the late emperors are the shadows of these people behind them. Prince Yizhong rebelled and gathered such a large formation. Without the support of the big families in Jiangnan, it would be impossible to accomplish anything. If the commercial tax laws are strictly implemented at this moment, I am afraid that officials will really force the people to rebel... So, Gu knows the current affairs and can wait. When the court accumulates some strength and is strong enough, Gu lets them know what the law of the Heavenly Power King is!"

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, he felt a trembling heart, and then he remembered what the prince who respected his teachers and Taoism did before...

The prince is definitely not the charitable lord and saint who has immersed him in happiness in the past two days...

Zhao Qingshan pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the commercial tax is to be delayed and collected, what Your Highness said just now is..."

Jia Cong said: "Can the Taifu know the number of the piao?"

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, he thought for a while and said, "What Your Highness is talking about... Rishengchang Piao?"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Not only, there are Guangtaixing, Heshengyuan and other tickets. They are very popular and make a fortune. In addition, there are some money shops and pawnshops, all of which are usury with money. Fortunately, the smaller the money shops, the more they harm the people. Some even work together with gambling files and brothels to harm the people, and force the people to destroy their families and sell their wives and daughters. These are only about people's livelihood. In addition, as far as I know, Rishengchang has set up a semicolon in 18 major cities including Chang'an, Datong, Suyang, Yuezhou, etc. Rishengchang's silver bills can even be used as gold and silver..."

Zhao Qingshan was a little confused when he heard this. Seeing Jia Cong's face was very serious, he asked in confusion: "Your Highness, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and reduces the loss of the road. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Jia Cong smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Taifu, this kind of currency power can only be controlled by the central court! If you don't say anything, Taifu, how much resistance will the court have to move Rishengchang now? How many people will plead for it? If he is given another ten years of smooth time to expand, the silver bills of Rishengchang are equivalent to gold and silver, most people in the world use Rishengchang's paper bills as gold and silver. Will the court dare to move it? This move will cause chaos in the world in an instant! Those merchants will have gold and respect themselves! Later, they can even issue bank bills at will without their own bank. Then they can use these silver bills to buy the hearts of countless people and even the morale of the army!"

"Crash!"

Zhao Qingshan stood up suddenly and led the young man in front of him to fall to the ground, but ignored him and said in horror: "You are so arrogant? You are so brave!"

Jia Cong hurriedly pressed his hands down and smiled and comforted, "The Grand Tutor is calm, please listen to the Lord's words."

Zhao Qingshan still respects Jia Cong now, so he forced himself to suppress his uneasy and strong murderous intentions and sat down again.

Wang Chun hurriedly called two eunuchs to come in, and after cleaning up the mess, he hurriedly sent the eunuchs out.

Jia Cong continued: "The bill number is definitely a good thing. If you only use gold and silver as currency, it will be quite inconvenient to carry it with you for a thousand taels, and it is very unfavorable to carry it. At this time, it is a good thing to replace the bill that can be conveniently replaced, but it must not be separated from the supervision of the court!"

Zhao Qingshan frowned and looked at Jia Cong and said, "Your Highness, the court has no such experience. For the sake of the stability of the country, why not ban it?"

Jia Cong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Taifu, having a ticket number is still progressive compared to having no ticket number, and it is also beneficial to the people. The court cannot let the people suffer because of the incompetence of the Ministry of Revenue and make the world regress. The court cannot learn it, so it is possible to learn it. The key is that it must be well supervised. For example, the court cannot ban all the accounts such as Rishengchang, but it must arrange for the Ministry of Revenue officials and the Lantai Temple Censor to enter to supervise them to collect more.

If there is less money, how many silver notes have been issued. This matter must be strictly reviewed, otherwise if something happens, it will be a major event that will disrupt the world. With the reputation of the court as a guarantee, their business will not only not lose, but will be better and their business will be bigger. Of course, for this, they need to pay 20% of the dividends to the court. In other words, the court will send officials to inspect all bills including Rishengchang, and account for 20% of the members."

Zhao Qingshan: “…”

Isn't it ugly?

Jia Cong waved his hand and smiled, "Taifu, I don't take any money from this money, and I don't even pay attention to the Ministry of Revenue. All of them are used for education, education, and enlightenment of the people. The court does not have to use their money to open up wealth, because the court itself can also issue invoices. With the reputation of the court, the invoices issued by the court will only make more money."

Zhao Qingshan frowned and said, "Even so, those merchants with ticket numbers may not agree..."

Jia Cong shook his head and said in a solemn voice: "There is nothing to discuss about this. The tutor took the words of the emperor just now to the court and said that the ticket number would either be supervised or banned. Whoever objected would want to rebel!

By the way, there is another thing that can give those big tickets a little sweetness. The Jinyiwei will launch a strong blow to the black silver accounts, black money shops, black gambling files, black pawn shops, black brothels and other gangs who bully the people in the next few years! Those who harm people, kill, exiled, those who can be beheaded, and those who are not beheaded, will all be exiled to Annan. We must never let good people be bullied by such people! When we were alone outside the palace, we saw many rampant bad things, and we cannot calm the people's hearts without killing them. In this way, the power will clear up a large number of small money shop silver accounts, and I think those merchants of those tickets will be happy."

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "Your Highness is right. I will personally take care of this matter!"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "This is the second thing Gu Yao said to the Grand Tutor... Grand Tutor, do you know how Zhuge Wuhou died?"

Zhao Qingshan is also a master of men. He knows the elegance when he hears the string song, and his hard old face twitches.

Jia Cong said: "Taifu, you must learn to relieve stress from yourself. The road ahead is still long. Taifu was the most important humeral minister left to Gu by the late emperor and Ning Yuanfu. Gu even dared not imagine how depraved the Chaogang would fall to if the Taifu was tired..."

Zhao Qingshan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, your highness, I can still hold on..."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "No one can say this kind of thing. Taifu, even if you can hold on for five years, what will happen after five years? The Lonely means that the Lonely dictates power a little bit, and gives power to those you can trust. The Lonely can personally select a group of trustworthy officials and adjust the imperial officials. Moreover, the cabinet is not complete, so you must make up for it. Otherwise, the Lonely tribute will be too heavy and you don't even have time to sleep. The Lonely thinks who are suitable can be reported to the Lonely, and the Lonely will definitely give it. Taifu, don't worry that others say you have formed a clique for personal gain and the power of the general undermines the imperial power. The Lonely believes in your..."

As soon as this statement was spoken, even Zhao Qingshan's firm nature could not help but be moved suddenly.

In this world, what else can be more touching than the king's words "I believe in you" that the ministers who are loyal to the emperor and serve the country more loyally?

Why would Ning Zechen rather commit suicide than let down the late emperor?

Isn’t it because the late emperor gave him the greatest trust?

However, even Ning Zechen, the late emperor did not let him control the court according to his intentions!

At this moment, Zhao Qingshan finally realized the feeling of "A gentleman dies for his confidant" in his heart, "You treat me with a national scholar, and I will repay him with a national scholar."

Zhao Qingshan was excited to pay homage to the ceremony: "I, even if I am broken into pieces, it is difficult to repay Your Highness's kindness!"

Jia Cong hurriedly stood up, personally helped Zhao Qingshan, who was moved, and smiled and said, "I don't want to see the internal struggles in the cabinet. The court still has too many things to do."

When Zhao Qingshan heard this, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness, if this is the case... I will naturally devote myself to my entire life and die before I can repay the emperor's kindness. If there is someone with ulterior motives who steal the position, then..."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I know. The cabinet ministers are one term for five years, and each person can only be re-elected for two terms at most. Furthermore, the cabinet cannot interfere with military power, and it is not a secret that all officials will be protected by the Jinyiwei..."

Zhao Qingshan was relieved of Jia Cong's frankness...

He nodded and said, "If this is the case, I can rest assured. If your Highness has nothing to do, I will do it according to your Highness's wishes. Reorganize the cabinet first!"

Zhao Qingshan was excited about the idea of ​​having a cabinet that would be easy to use and safe to use!

Jia Cong nodded and smiled, "Please please!"

Seeing Zhao Qingshan strode out of the Palace of Peaceful Heart, Jia Cong's eyes gradually narrowed.

In fact, he is still a bit unauthentic, because Zhao Qingshan established this cabinet and was destined to overcome all obstacles and carry out key tasks.

It is necessary to bear too many infamousnesses to block open and secret arrows for him, the crown prince.

The new method of acquiring the world's pie number is enough to make Zhao Qingshan attacked by a group of people.

Now everyone knows that he, the prince of the governor, is learning from the saints to rule.

All the power of the government was entrusted to the hands of the crown prince and the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Qingshan. This method was not done by him, and the birds in the sky did not believe it...

If you impose commercial taxes again in the future, it will cause a lot of trouble.

In addition, with Zhao Qingshan's iron-blooded skills, he will definitely reorganize the administration.

Ning Zechen was too tolerant of the new party officials and in order to implement the new law, he made great concessions in many things.

This made Zhao Qingshan very reluctant to stand it. Now that he is in power, he will inevitably clear a large number of officials out of the court!

Of course this is what Jia Cong wants to see...

But as these things continue to be done one by one, Zhao Qingshan's road will become narrower and narrower, and he will become a real lonely minister.

Even his prestige in the Shilin officialdom will become less and less, and it will be difficult for his government to leave Chang'an City after all...

If you meet an emperor who is less kind, you may not let him follow Ning Zechen's footsteps.

He will even be even worse than Ning Zechen.

The only thing Jia Cong could do was to retain some human nature and not completely become a creature called the emperor, not allow Zhao Qingshan to follow Ning Zechen's footsteps, to ensure that he had a peaceful old age, to have a good end, and finally, to enjoy the Taimiao...
