Chapter 515 I was in a hurry and led the frontier army to the south to ask for payment!

Chapter 515 I was in a hurry and led the frontier army to the south to ask for payment!

After Wang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, reported this, before Zhu Yijun expressed his position, Wu Shilai said first:

"From the point of view of a foolish minister, His Majesty's internal money cannot be given out casually. It must be considered that this is the foundation for His Majesty to honor the queen mothers of the two palaces and maintain the hearts of the inner court and the army. If this continues, it will inevitably create a gap between the inside and the outside in the future, and even affect the peace of the inner court."

Zhu Yijun smiled after hearing this: "What Wu Qing said is quite to the point!"

Wu Shilai bowed his hands.

Zhu Yijun said again: "But this time it is about whether the price of silver dollars is stable or not. The internal money can still be paid out, but I can't give out the internal money for free. After all, what Wu Qing said is right. I have to consider the feelings of everyone in the inner court. Strictly In other words, I don’t spend the internal money as I like, nor is it my own internal money; besides, it’s true that when the money and food are tight, the foreign court can’t just think about the internal money.”

"Then in His Majesty's opinion?"

Wang Lin asked a question at this time.

Zhu Yijun got up at this time and said: "How about this, your household department will discuss with the internal officials of the shipping warehouse and come up with a loan contract!"

"It is clear that the internal funds are not allocated to the foreign court's silver dollars, but are loaned to the foreign court's silver dollars. The foreign court will repay it by increasing the country's fiscal revenue, and it will also have to pay interest!"

"The reason for asking for interest is to let people in the inner court know that it is beneficial to lend money to the outer court, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the inner court, and second, to prevent the outer court, that is, your household department from getting money from the inner court. Spend money indiscriminately, or just rely on internal money to eat without thinking about increasing income."

"This one……"

Wang Lin was stunned, and then he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what if the foreign court is still not up?"

"If it's not enough, the ruling will be changed, the ruling will be announced to the outside world, and the ruling will be resigned voluntarily. A new ruling layer will be formed by the new chief assistant, new household secretary and other officials."

Zhu Yijun said.

Wang Lin glanced at Shen Shixing.

At this time, Shen Shixing stood up and echoed, saying: "Your Majesty's policy is extremely wise! It's not that the internal funds cannot be paid out, but the way to borrow money comes from the foreign court. After all, the internal funds are your majesty's private property, and the national court cannot only protect the private property of the world. , without preserving His Majesty’s private property.”

"But your majesty is the master of the world. Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the land on the shore, is it the king's ministers."

"It stands to reason that His Majesty has no distinction between public and private affairs."

At this time, Liu Yingjie, a bachelor, put forward his own views.

Zhu Yijun said: "Although I am the lord of the world, the world belongs to the people of the world. Although the land of the world and the people of the world are subject to my constitution, I have endowed the people of the world with the right to legally own private property. Sacred and inviolable, there must be a law to follow if I seize it, and I should also have selfishness, which is also bestowed by me, so as to prevent public and private ambiguity and encroachment."

Liu Yingjie cupped his hands: "I will remember the hadith."

And then, Wu Shilai asked: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is, what should I do if the people still sell the land and houses at a low price after the silver dollars from the internal funds are allotted?"

Zhu Yijun chuckled: "There must be a degree in everything. If you really don't care about the safety of the country, if I don't have silver dollars to pay and support the people, then I can only allow the soldiers and horses in the world to take the initiative to ask for wages! It's nothing more than wanting to spend more money. human blood"

After hearing this, Wu Shilai said: "Your Majesty is wise, they must know that enough is enough."

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not take back the right to legally own private property that I have given them, so I have not reached that point yet, and I will still borrow money from the internal money to the foreign court, and then the household department Wang Qing and The palm print eunuch of the inner carrier depot directly discusses this matter."

"According to the order!"

Therefore, Cui Li, the eunuch of the shipping warehouse, and Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, met in the political affairs hall not long after.

Cui Li said to Wang Lin: "It's nothing for us slaves and servants in the inner court to suffer a little bit of grievance because the inner money is allocated to the outer court. It's just that we have lost a few months of monthly silver. Who would dare not do their best because of this? No? But, the emperor and the nobles in the harem cannot be wronged, so this benefit should not be too low."

"We naturally understand, but the stability of the country is also very important. What His Majesty cares most about is the stability of the country. If the interest rate is set too high, it is a trivial matter to dismiss the foreign ministers, and it may make the treasury even more hungry. Your Majesty, let’s talk, and please let the interest be more generous.”

Wang Lin said with a smile.

So, the two talked back and forth for a long time, and finally decided how much silver dollars to transfer the internal funds to Taicang, and how much principal and interest Taicang needs to repay the internal funds within a few years.

Over the years, Zhu Yijun has accumulated a lot of domestic money by investing overseas and outside the customs, and confiscating some officials who committed crimes, so it is more than enough to borrow a sum of money for foreign courts.

……

"Your Majesty has paid for it!"

Censor Wang Zhixiang informed Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng brothers that Zhu Yijun raised the silver dollars from the internal funds to increase the circulation of private silver dollars that day.

The two looked at each other and smiled after hearing this.

Gu Yuncheng then looked at Gu Xiancheng and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the emperor chose to spend money from the inner court, which can be regarded as fulfilling our goal of sending money from the inner court to the outer court."

Gu Xiancheng also smiled slightly: "It seems that the Son of Heaven still really cares about Sheji."

"However, the Chief Constitution asked His Majesty in front of the imperial court, what should we do if the world's wealthy families do not stop and continue to sell their private property at a low price so that the silver dollars on the market continue to decrease, and His Majesty said that if that step is reached, the world's soldiers and civilians will only be allowed to Pay your own bills and collect your own taxes.”

Wang Zhixiang said.

After hearing this, Gu Yuncheng's face darkened, he looked at Gu Xiancheng, and then said: "So, we have to stop, and we have to persuade other wealthy families to stop, but if the price of silver dollars is really stabilized, then the land and houses that were sold cheaply before There are also beautiful maids and so on, which will be a big loss!"

Gu Xiancheng also nodded at this time, and then asked Wang Zhixiang: "Isn't the emperor afraid that the people in the inner court will betray him before doing this?"

Wang Zhixiang said: "If they stabilize the price of silver in Shenwu County, make the commercial roads smooth, and increase the revenue of the treasury, all the nobles and palace people in the inner court will benefit, because the silver dollars issued by the internal funds this time were given to the Ministry of Households in the form of loans. , If the principal and interest cannot be repaid on time, everyone from the chief minister of the cabinet to the ministers and the imperial censor will be dismissed."

After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng became thoughtful: "How could this happen!"

Then, Gu Xiancheng looked at the two of them and said, "If that's the case, then we can't let the inner court get this benefit!"

Wang Zhixiang stood up immediately after hearing this: "Uncle, do you want the world to be in chaos? Are you really going to force His Majesty to rebel by himself, and bring the guards of the army and soldiers from the Nine Sides to the south to ask for payment? Once those arrogant soldiers are allowed to mess around, just I'm afraid that a gentleman will be inferior to a dog and a sheep!"

Gu Xiancheng said with a smile: "Of course I don't want the world to be in chaos, but I just want Shenwu County and other real new parties to leave the court and realize the ambition of all righteous and prosperous courts. As long as we let our fair ministers rule the country, we will be able to do it ourselves when the time comes." Find a way to help him repay the debt owed by Shi Shihang to the inner court! And His Majesty doesn't have to take that step."

After hearing this, Wang Zhixiang couldn't help asking: "How do you pay it back?"

"Back then, the strict division should be copied, but it benefited many soldiers and civilians. Now if Shenwu County falls, I'm afraid it will be the same? What's more, by analogy, Shenwu County is the only one who can benefit the soldiers and civilians of the world."

"Presumably, His Majesty is more willing to sacrifice Shenwu County and others than to cause chaos in the world."

Gu Xiancheng said.

Wang Zhixiang nodded after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "Then continue hoarding silver dollars?"

Gu Xiancheng nodded.

"The Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou was sold at a discount of 500 taels of silver."

"The Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou is for sale for 800 taels of silver."

……

After Shen Shixing received the content reported by the non-governmental tabloids, it immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice, "This is killing the entire Shen family!"

Zhu Yijun also knew that the rich and powerful bureaucrats were still selling their assets at a low price to hoard silver and said: "Sure enough, the bureaucrats themselves are the ones who hate the bureaucrats the most!"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he ordered: "Is there any Zhang Zou from Dongying recently?"

"Have!"

"Present it first!"
