Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 299

After returning from Jia's mansion, Feng Yibo and Li Shouzhong had a long secret conversation in the study.

In the end, the master and apprentice reached an agreement.

The conclusions drawn all point to Emperor Jingshun's plan to suppress the Jianguo lineage.

I don't know whether to be pleased or emotional.

After the two finished their business, they only chatted for a few words.

Li Shouzhong suddenly sighed and said:

"It's like a dream, the Holy One is really going to attack the Jianguo lineage."

He has an enterprising intention in his heart, and has always felt that honor is also one of the bad policies.

But the Li family is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and has a deep connection with the founding of the country.

This is color folding.

But Li Shouzhong felt that his words were a bit alarmist.

Rongfu is better, less than twenty.

According to this era, there are two crops a year, and the yield per mu is about [-] catties.

It is only a matter of time and degree to deal with them.

He didn't care about that little salary.

Even if he regards Feng Yibo as his successor, it is impossible for him to listen to Feng Yibo in everything.

Unexpectedly, Li Shouzhong shook his head when he heard the words, and said:

But without the approval of their elders, they can't help much.

In the days that followed, the threshold of the Rong Mansion would be trampled to pieces by these old relatives.

They are naturally happy to save trouble.

Then use the soft knife of banknotes to harvest slowly.

At least somewhat self-aware.

Feng Yibo sighed, without hiding it, he said directly:

Unfortunately, Jia Zheng was disheartened after learning the truth.

They can all be regarded as the founding of the country.

But regarding what Feng Yibo said about harvesting with banknotes, he couldn't even see this possibility.

Lumi was distributed today, and Feng Yibo arranged for a car to come over early.

Seeing this, the relatives of each family thought of taking the back house route again.

It can even be said to be exhausted.

In other words, the nobles of the founding line remained unchanged.

He knew that Li Shouzhong had the heart to reform, but he couldn't realize it due to the situation in the court.

Although Jia She is a dude, he also knows the seriousness.

The rest of the veterans are struggling.

He heard Feng Yibo's worries, but he didn't understand the impact of finance on the national economy and people's livelihood.

"This matter was decided by the Holy Majesty and the elders. From this month, all discounts will be changed to banknotes."

There are old students and officials from all walks of life, as well as clan relatives and in-laws.

Generally, there are two or three hundred tenant farmers of that kind.

"Please wait a moment."

He has been pessimistic about it, predicting that banknotes will soon lose their value.

You can point fingers across departments, and there is a high probability that you will be counterattacked.

Adding the two together, Fengjiazhuang has an income of nearly 5000 taels a year.

But Feng Yibo saw the shadow of Baochao again!

All salaries and rewards are issued in the form of banknotes.

Emperor Jingshun just wanted to promote banknotes, and didn't have a strategy to reap the honors of the founding of the country?

It's just that the real objects have different prices at different times and in different places.

But Feng Yibo couldn't do it either, when the disaster he could foresee came.

After people loaded their things into cars and returned home, Feng Yibo went back to the ministry and continued to work.

That Zhuangzi's annual harvest is more than 1 shi of grain.

Presumably it won't be long before the big tree of four kings and eight males will fall down first.

After all, only the founder of the country has no rice to eat.

For other civil and military officials, food, cloth and other objects are still distributed normally.

He even agreed with what Feng Yibo said that Emperor Jingshun wanted to attack Jianguo.

Thank you behind closed doors.

Li Shouzhong's only daughter, Li Wan, is now a widow in Rongfu.

Just refuse to spit out no matter what.

The one who has the deepest relationship with him is naturally the Jia family.

In other words, not only the founding of the country.

Although he said that "if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government", he is not a person who cares about the country and the people.

The merits of the four kings and eight princes are unrivaled in the world, and it is only natural for future generations to enjoy the blessings.

In the court, they even competed with the upstarts.

Now that Emperor Jingshun is attacking the Jianguo lineage, it can be regarded as eliminating some lu beetles.

Hearing Li Shouzhong's question, Feng Yibo explained:
"Finance refers to the issuance and circulation of national currency, as well as recycling and exchange. As for the reserve fund, it is the cash that can be used in an emergency to prevent a run on."

If it is only converted according to the price in the capital, no one will refuse.

Throughout the year, there are actually 8000 taels.

"And when the banknotes in Xungui's hands become waste paper, I'm afraid it will be the common people who will pay the bill in the end."

There is an endorsement by the Ministry of Households and a precedent for a bill of exchange.

The salaries of the officials of the Great Wei are two situations in parallel.

Therefore, at this time, he was not only relieved that the court had taken action, but also lamented that the old relatives were about to decline.

Li Shouzhong was not worried about Rongfu, he nodded and sighed:

What's more, there are more than twelve Lao Xun families.

Feng Yibo nodded, and echoed:

called fold color.

Salaries everywhere can easily become messy accounts.

Although Feng Yibo is also a member of the third rank, he belongs to the Ministry of Rites.

Food, cloth, and even pepper were distributed among them.

The founding line sounds like they all participated in the founding of the country.

Not to mention the death of Shan Guogong, Xijue's son died not long ago.

At first, the imperial court only targeted Lao Xun who was in the founding line.

From time to time, we have to have a drink.

The reasons are so strange that it is even impossible to refute them.

Of course, the main reason.

Feng Yibo heard the emotion in Li Shouzhong's words, and comforted him with a smile:
"Fortunately, the Second Rongning Mansion should not be involved."

It will inevitably lead to a series of adverse consequences affecting the national economy and people's livelihood.

Liuqiu didn't even recognize money orders, let alone such banknotes.

He has been working on matters related to culture, education and the Ministry of Rites, and he really doesn't understand these things.

Just like the Jia family, there were dozens of such Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River.

The dandyism is even better.

Zhuangzi with a land size of two or three thousand mu.

Instead, use Prince Zhongshun as the net to restrict the founding line.

If it is a good year, or someone who is more ruthless.

He lives in seclusion every day, only obsessed with chatting with Qing guests.

Because they set up a large number of farms in the south of the Yangtze River in the early days of the founding of the country.

Just like Wang Ziteng before.

"The four kings and eight princes and other veterans followed the Taizu to conquer the world. There is nothing wrong with the descendants being rich and honored. It's just that the court has difficulties now, and they have become a common practice in sheltering them, causing redundant officials and staff for no reason."

Somewhat reformed.

Then he quickly took the banknotes and took someone to the other side to collect the real money.

Feng Yibo nodded and asked:
"I just heard that folding colors have been changed to banknotes? But it's the same as the old fellows?"

Among the crimes being impeached today, such as taking advantage of the situation, rampant, and even exceeding the system and so on.

These are all further, confirming the thoughts in Feng Yibo's mind.

In fact, Li Shouzhong wasn't to blame for this matter, he didn't say anything too specific last time.

"That's right. I really can't just sit idly by and ignore this matter, so I came to discuss with the teacher."

Can't satisfy Emperor Jingshun's appetite?
Want to wipe out all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
This is a big game of chess!
The man was obviously just surprised, and didn't say anything more after hearing the explanation given by the ambassador.

When he said this, he naturally wanted to gain Li Shouzhong's support.

This is also the reason why those people in Fengjiazhuang were willing to listen to Feng Yibo's orders in the beginning.

Moreover, if rice grains are not distributed, it is easy to arouse doubts from all officials.

Not long after, the situation changed again.

Soon, he shared this concern with Li Shouzhong.

After all, with the draft in front, Li Shouzhong was unavoidably optimistic about the money.

The civil and military salaries of the Manchu dynasty began to be offset with this new banknote?
When the matter developed to this point, Feng Yibo doubted his previous deduction again.

Say it again!The household department is all about money and food, but not everyone can understand it.

Feng Yibo pressed his heart to think, and said with a smile:
"Since that's the case, please help me get my salary and the teacher's salary."

If there is no rice, grain and silver, all of them will be converted into banknotes.

So, after hearing what Feng Yibo said, he didn't rush to respond.

It didn't take long for him to hear people talking about it.

"If, as I guessed, there will be a day when banknotes cannot be exchanged for silver, then the imperial court will lose its credibility, and it will be difficult for Wei to issue banknotes in the future."

"It's not just his family, I heard that everyone is having a hard time recently."

But it's just hearsay, and knowledge is limited.

In fact, he is not the only one, how many civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty are proficient in economics?

Could it be that only the Kaiguo lineage was harvested.

But Manchao Wenwu found it new, and didn't have any special reaction.

Recently, the situation between North Korea and China has changed, and several dignitaries have been impeached.

They have power all over the country, and they are good at building relationships and holding together to keep warm.

If he cooperates across departments, he still has some face.

Strictly speaking, Lin Ruhai, Li Shouzhong, Jia Yucun and others.

If all of them are converted into banknotes, the workload of the household department will be too great.

In normal times, the price of a stone of rice in Jiangnan would be around 800 Wen.

called true color.

Not only Lao Xun, but also worshiped under Lao Xun one after another.

It's just a small loss for Xungui.

After coming to slap the Rong Mansion in the face, the Dragon Scale Guards began to dispatch frequently.

Now the Shi family has only one grandson, Shi Guangzhu, who is in charge, not much better than Jia Zhen.

Fengjiazhuang is actually a Zhuangzi of this scale.

"Actually, I wanted to ask last time, but I just didn't bother to say it."

Now that Feng Yibo mentioned it alone, he remembered not to be ashamed to ask.

But there must be moderation in everything.

The dealers also earn at least four or fifty taels every year.

Feng Yibo thought he was more relieved, so he said:

But what Feng Yibo didn't expect was that the court made new moves immediately after.

Seeing Feng Yibo approaching, he quickly saluted and said with a smile:
"I have seen Captain Feng!"

Or this kind of banknotes can be exchanged for cash from the bank under the Acceptance Department of the Ministry of Accounts.

In the next few days, the always low-key Prince Zhongshun moved again.

"Since you have an idea, why don't you tell the Holy Majesty about it and let him and the cabinet make a decision?"

Thinking about it, the mentor should be more pleased than emotional.

But it would be different if Li Shouzhong was involved.

In terms of rice prices.

The banknotes belong to the Ministry of Accounts.

There are so many different things.

This kind of banknotes was quickly accepted and circulated in a small area.

Because, he knew very little about these things.

Except for the Jia family that has been beaten, it is still calm.

"What? We also want to fold money?"

But things always develop in unexpected directions.

If the imperial court wants to convert the real qualities of civil and military officials from various places, it also needs to consider the prices of rice and silk in various places.

Although the Treasury Ambassador of the Household Department is only the ninth rank, he is also a member of the sixth department.

Before he was sure, he obviously didn't want to participate.

Compared with ordinary people, it is almost twice as much as theirs.

He felt that this was not using Prince Zhongshun as a knife.

When he told Li Shouzhong, he just wanted his mentor to go to school together.

Seeing Feng Yibo coming to line up, he hurriedly saluted.

"The founding of the country has been passed down for several generations, and now it is getting worse and worse. If there is no one to carry the tripod, it will only be a waste of rice for the court."

In his view, even banknotes become waste paper.

All six ministers can participate in the formulation of national policies.

It's just that after Feng Yibo took over, he led everyone to engage in off-season flowers, fruits and vegetables.

Naturally, Feng Yibo didn't know what Li Shouzhong was thinking, so he said seriously:

From Feng Yibo's point of view, the old Fei Hong may be the only one.

Those who are kinder will leave half of it to the tenant farmers.

Judging from the fact that he never interfered in the affairs of the court, he was better than Jia Zheng.

Speaking of which, did Emperor Jingshun show mercy?
Or, did I think too much before?

"As for the nobles who inherit the title, regardless of their true color or color, they will all be discounted with banknotes."

8000 taels are also available.

Unfortunately, Li Shouzhong still insisted on his attitude.

Just indulging in the feeling of being held in the palm of your hand, and having some drinks.

Last time, Feng Yibo not only told about Emperor Jingshun's beating of the Rong Mansion, but also about the banknotes by the way.

"I'm afraid I'm a soft-spoken person, and it's useless to say it."

On the contrary, you earn more than growing grain.

The two of them expressed their emotions again before the secret talk ended.

But Li Shouzhong was only concerned about the founding of the country, and didn't ask about the money.

After hearing his explanation, Li Shouzhong could only nod his head half understanding.

He is very suspicious now that Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet should not want to let the civil and military officials go.

And concerns that the court might issue paper money indiscriminately.

It is equivalent to two or three Zhuangzi.

Two years ago, Duke Shan Guo also passed away.

This time Li Shouzhong barely understood, frowned and said:
"You are worried that the imperial court will issue money indiscriminately, which will affect the national economy and people's livelihood."

In the capital, a stone of rice costs one tael of silver.

In the end, there are about six or seven thousand stones left, and the silver is about five or 6000 taels.

Now that the imperial court handles it like this, the salaries of civil and military officials are equivalent to no change.

"The Holy Majesty has only one heir, so it is natural to leave some room for the Jia family."

On the contrary, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and other juniors were regarded as honored guests by each family.

You can also stand by and watch the fire from the other side.

In fact, it refers to the general term for the power of vassals around the founder of the country.

Just treat him as unfounded, young and ignorant.

Even Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet are old foxes who have been in power for many years.

When I got to the front, I heard the Treasury Ambassador of the Ministry of Finance and the man explain:

Had to re-examine this matter.

But for those who are unfamiliar with the financial field, they are still novices.

There are so many nobles in Jinling, naturally the supply exceeds the demand.

What's more, the biggest possibility is that Emperor Jingshun ignored it.

Instead, after pondering for a while, he wondered:

It can be said that it is better than those who have never heard of it.

"It's just hard to say about other families."

Even if Emperor Jingshun was cautious, he had to discuss with the Ministry of Households when encountering such problems.

Feng Yibo explained his worries in detail, and said:

"Can't say that either."

Feng Yibo learned this from Baochai, and even thought he understood what the emperor meant.

But the nobles all have the habit of retaining people to reward and obey orders in the capital.

But as soon as he arrived at the warehouse of the household department, he heard someone questioning.

Feng Yibo began to think while listening to the discussion.

How could a person in his position easily express his opinion on something he didn't understand?

For example, in Huguang and other places where rice grain is abundant, it costs about 600 Wen per stone.

"That's right! Duke Shan's mansion has been having a hard time recently. I heard that since Duke Shan's edict was gone, the descendants of the Shi family have been messing around all day long."

Although some people call this folding money, according to the court, there is no folding money.

The other part of the salary is converted into silver and copper coins and distributed directly.

Any qualified emperor would not allow this kind of power to continue to grow.

That would be too much work.

After receiving the folded color here, go to get the real Lumi.

After listening to Feng Yibo's analysis, Li Shouzhong looked a little strange, and asked:

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing accompany the old relatives with smiles every day.

Even the cabinet needs to pay attention to the opinions of the six ministers.

"What is finance anyway, and what do reserves mean?"

It's just that several generations have continued to divide into branches.

When the ambassador heard the question, he quickly replied respectfully:
"Returning to your lord, it's not the same. We civil servants and our own honors have only been exchanged from silver money to banknotes."

The original color is issued as usual, and the banknotes can be exchanged for cash at any time.

Obviously, this is the result of Emperor Jingshun's indulgence.

As the big house, there are only eight or nine Zhuangzi left in Ningfu.

What he was worried about was that if Dawei really started to issue money indiscriminately.

Now it only depends on when and how Emperor Jingshun will close the net.

Just change silver money to banknotes.

The Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't regard him as a meddling and arrogant man who is meddling in other people's affairs. It would be good to impeach him desperately.

"You are still young, how can you make things happen if you look forward and backward like this?"

Shan Guogong Shi's family is the weakest family among the four princes and eight princes.

The rest, even those from the Ministry of Accounts, can only settle accounts.

Soon, Jia's mother took the trouble and said that she was sick.

After all, he is the teacher.

Speaking of this, Li Shouzhong smiled and pointed out:
"You need to remember the phrase 'You can't be as good as you want, but you have to be ashamed of your heart'."

Feng Yibo was taken aback for a moment, then he could only sigh softly:

"Students understand."
