Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 552 Set up the mint, the empress wears her clothes

After taking a sip of tea, Fu Shan said again: "During the reign of the first emperor, due to foreign captives and internal invaders, there was a rebellion in She'an in the southwest. It can be said that there were continuous wars and natural disasters. The court was seriously short of money and food. Just let it go.

In the early years of Chongzhen, the first emperor learned of the chaos of coins after he succeeded to the throne, and wanted to cheer up and restore the sophistication and orderliness of money making in the Jiajing and Longqing periods.

However, when the situation did not allow it, in the end, the first emperor not only opened up the money bureau as in the apocalypse, but even directly delegated the right to mint coins to places where soldiers and horses gathered in various places in the later period to raise military pay. "

Yuan Jixian nodded slightly.

He was a Jinshi in the year of Tianqi, and he had been an official in the year of Chongzhen. He had personally experienced the loss of control of the imperial court's minting rights during the Chongzhen year.

In fact, 13 years after Chongzhen, even if the imperial court did not let go of the right to mint coins, the phenomenon of local minting of private money has spread to the point where it cannot be controlled at all.

For example, Zuo Liangyu and other generalized armies will also independently mint copper coins for profit in order to raise wages.

"In the past two years, due to the large amount of counterfeit and shoddy private money in Chongzhen Tongbao, the original [-] cash has been exchanged for one tael of silver, and it has increased to a maximum of two to three thousand cash for one tael of silver.

The imperial court and local government collect taxes and only collect silver coins, not copper coins, but the poor people working hard can only earn copper coins.

Exchange copper coins for silver to pay taxes, and the income will inevitably drop sharply, and the hardships can be imagined.That's why the disciples said that the common people suffer from the flood of private money. "

Yuan Jixian saw that Fu Shan had such a clear understanding of the current chaos of coins, and he immediately felt like recommending him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very thirsty for talents, and he employs eclectic people. How about I recommend you to Your Majesty?"

Fu Shan was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The teacher's kindness is appreciated by the disciple, but the disciple is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and has no intention of becoming an official career."

After hearing this, Yuan Jixian didn't persuade anymore, but sighed: "That's really a pity."

Fu Shan said with a smile: "I think the current emperor attaches great importance to education and employs people in an eclectic manner. I believe that in a few years, my Ming Dynasty will have more available talents."

Yuan Jixian naturally agreed with this, and stroked his beard with a smile.

···
The next day, Zhu Yu continued to hold a meeting on minting coins, and Yuan Jixian told Zhu Wei one by one what he learned about the current coin chaos from Fu Shan.

Aunt Zhu was quite surprised when she heard this.

She had never really lived among the people before, so she really didn't know that the private money of Ming Dynasty had spread to such an extent and had such a bad influence on the common people.

Then he felt angry, and immediately said: "Since the local Baoquan bureau has many problems, the provincial Baoquan bureaus will be cancelled. At the same time, the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households will be cancelled, and the Mint Bureau directly under the cabinet will be replaced.

In addition, the provinces are ordered to vigorously crack down on those who privately mint copper coins, and they will be punished strictly according to the laws of our dynasty, and will not be tolerated! "

Everyone was not surprised by Aimee Zhu's anger. In fact, there was no emperor who knew about this for the first time and could not be angry.

However, some people still couldn't help admonishing them when they heard that Auntie Zhu wanted to completely abolish the Baoquan Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau, two units that were passed down from the Yuan Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Jixian said: "Your Majesty, if the Baoquan Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau are banned by the Mint Bureau, what is the difference from before?"

"Of course it's different." Aunt Zhu said, "From now on, only a mint under the direct control of the imperial court will be able to mint coins, and the provinces will no longer set up mint institutions."

After hearing this, the other cabinet ministers also felt that it was inappropriate.

Xie Xuelong said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the imperial court set up Baoquan Bureaus in various provinces to distribute the power of minting coins to the central government is to save shipping costs.

Otherwise, if copper mines are mined from all over the country, minted in the capital, and the copper coins are shipped out, the shipping fee will inevitably cost a lot! "

Auntie Zhu shook her head with a smile, "What Xie Qing said is outdated - as soon as I, Daming, build a railway running from east to west, and from north to south, plus there are iron-clad ships on the waterway, transportation will be much more convenient than before.

In this case, no matter what is done, the transportation cost will be greatly reduced.In this way, why is it impossible to completely control the minting power in the center of the court? "

Having said that, Zhu Yuxi paused, looked around at the ministers, and then said in a earnest tone: "Masters, times have changed, and our way of looking at affairs and the way we govern the country should also change accordingly. Advancing with the times is the right way.”

All the ministers were stunned for a while.

Immediately, many people showed shame and admiration, and then clapped their hands together and said: "Your Majesty's teachings must be remembered!"

In this regard, it was decided that Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau should be banned, and only one mint bureau directly under the imperial cabinet should be established.

After that, we will discuss the specific details of the establishment of the Mint...
In a few more days, it will be April.

The fragrance is not exhausted, but the peach blossoms are still in full bloom.

That afternoon, Auntie Zhu woke up after taking a nap in the old house in the bamboo forest. Seeing the bright sun outside the window, she suddenly had the idea of ​​going outside for a walk.

She knew that there was no way to go out of the old house in Zhulin, so she came out and said to Hao Guangming: "Master, today I want to go to the Forbidden City in disguise."

Hao Guangming said, "Isn't it good to stay at home and work?" But looking at Aimee Zhu's longing eyes, he said, "You can go if you want, and let Bi Zhu and Huque bring the personal guards of the Zhuque camp to follow. As long as they are within the scope of Nanjing City, they should There's no danger."

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, even if there is, with my current psychological quality, I can return here in an instant."

"Then where do you want to go?" Hao Guangming became curious.

"Hmm..." Zhu Wei pondered slightly, "Compulsory education has been implemented for nearly two months, and I haven't been to any elementary school yet, so I want to.

In particular, understand the teaching and learning situation of female primary school teachers and female students. "

"That's very interesting," Hao Guangming said with a smile, "You have to hang up your phone, and let me take a good look at your Ming Dynasty primary school."

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu gave Hao Guangming a white look with a smile, and said, "I think Mr. Xiang wants to meet our female teachers and students of Daming, right?"

Having been with Hao Guangming for so long and staying in the same room, Auntie Zhu knows Hao Guangming's hobbies and interests quite well.

But she wasn't jealous.

Because she knew that Hao Guangming just wanted to see him.

What's more, how could the woman from Daming compete with her for Hao Guangming?If this happens, it should be the woman from Daxia.

When Aimee Zhu arrived at the Forbidden City, she proposed to go to Weifu for a private visit, and Dong Qiongying, who was the leader of the Suzaku Camp, advised her procedurally.

Seeing that Auntie Zhu had made up her mind, she didn't persuade her much, but asked to go together.

Auntie Zhu didn't mind bringing one more person with her, so she agreed.

In this way, Aimee Zhu left the Forbidden City with the Zhuque camp's personal guards on the surface.

In fact, the Imperial Forest Army also dispatched several sentry officers and soldiers to stand by around several elementary schools where Auntie Zhu might go.

The personal guards of Zhuqueying belonged to the emperor's personal guards. The full staff should be 50 people, but now there are only a dozen of them.

It is not possible to fill up the room because the requirements are too high.

How high are the requirements?

First of all, it is natural to have an innocent background, and they are all good citizens within the five generations.

The second is that one's own ability is excellent, not to mention reaching the level of Bi Zhuo and Huque, but it is slightly inferior to the two.

In Hao Guangming's words, it definitely belongs to the female hero in the Daming Jianghu, and it definitely belongs to the existence of female special forces in later generations.

However, since Auntie Zhu was going on patrol in low clothes, it was naturally impossible for these dozen or so female soldiers to follow behind.After all, even in disguise, a dozen young women walking together are too conspicuous in Daming.

The dozen or so people were all scattered around.

Only Liu Zhu, Dong Qiongying, Bi Zhu, and Hu Que were really following Aimee Zhu.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
