Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 377 Mind

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun. This is an eternal truth.

Ye Xun still has a lot to do, but first of all, Liaodong cannot be chaotic, because that is where his foundation lies.

The capital also cannot be chaotic, because all government orders must be issued here, so this place must be placed under the absolute leadership of Ye Xun.

Although Ye Xun spoke in a calm tone, Zhang Weixian could still hear Ye Xun's determination.

He sighed and said: "The old man thought of a compromise, I wonder if you can agree?"

Under Ye Xun's quiet gaze, he continued: "It is up to you to send officers to carry out training for the Beijing camp, but there is a premise that you must not pursue the past. If you agree, I will immediately arrange for your men to be stationed in each camp."

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Old Duke, I think you have misunderstood. I didn't intend to pursue the past. Besides, my purpose is to train soldiers, not to seize power."

Zhang Weixian wasn't too confused, he really wanted to ask Ye Xun, what is the difference between your so-called military training and seizing power?

After all, Zhang Weixian is old. As a veteran soldier, what he most wants to see is that the Ming army can be invincible and become an iron army capable of defending the country again.

But this hope obviously cannot be realized in his hands, so let this little eunuch fulfill this dream!
After the two studied some details of the Liaodong Army's entry into the Beijing camp, Zhang Weixian was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Xun again.

"Old Duke, I have another unfeeling request. I wonder if the old Duke can agree?"

Zhang Weixian couldn't help but laughed, and said with a smile: "Is it time for you to ask the old man? It's true that the sun is coming out from the west. Come and listen, the old man can't wait."

Ye Xun also laughed, and said: "That's right, the boy will get married next month, and there is still a need for a witness who has weight, I wonder if the old Duke will give in?"

Zhang Weixian "haha!" smiled, and said, "What am I supposed to do! The old man agreed, not only agreed, but the three girls will be my foster daughters!"

When Ye Xun heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed. He knew very well that the identities of several girls who married him had always been a concern for them.

He bowed and said: "Thank you, old man."

"Hey! I'm afraid this is the first time you thank me sincerely! Haha"

After Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at Zhang Weixian's back, Ye Xun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. It can be said that he still hasn't seen through this old Duke.

Call him old and cunning, but at critical moments, he has never missed the team, but it seems a bit far-fetched to say how loyal and patriotic he is, because he knows what Ye Xun does very well. If he is a loyal minister, then Ye Xun should definitely be resolutely boycotted, but he didn't.

Now he took the initiative to hand over the Jingying, and even recognized Ye Xun's concubine as a righteous daughter. Is this what a loyal minister of the Zhu family should do?

After sending Zhang Weixian away, Ye Xun was about to go back to the back house to have a look, when a guard came quickly, handed him a secret report, gave him a salute, turned around and left.

Ye Xun opened the secret report and looked at it, his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Come here, call Zhang Quan and Mr. Zhang to see me."
Early the next morning, a piece of news came out of nowhere, and quickly spread throughout the court, that is, officials will increase their salaries.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty have always been the lowest, otherwise there would not be so many corrupt officials who flocked to the guillotine.

I don't know where the news came from. It's very clear, how much the officials at each level will be raised, how they will be paid, and they have to be on par with Liaodong officials, etc.

The people who spoke were frothing, and the listeners were overjoyed and scratched their heads, as if the money was about to be sent into their pockets.

This matter is under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the officials all focused their attention on Zhang Quan.

However, some officials who know the state of the treasury secretly sneered, increasing their salaries?The national treasury is almost running out of rats, so what to use to raise it?It's just trying to attract people's hearts.

The so-called popular talk is golden, if there are too many people who say it, the false will gradually become true.

After Shao Fuzhong was dismissed, the new cabinet was written by Li Daiwen, and Ye Xun's wedding was a few days away. After the seven cabinet members shared a few gossips about the wedding, they began to get down to business.

"As expected of Eunuch Ye, who shocked Liaodong, with a single order, the livestock problem that has plagued the Gyeonggi area for a long time has been solved. The people in the Gyeonggi area will definitely appreciate Ye Gonggong's kindness."

Li Daiwen started the opening remarks of today's meeting, then changed the subject and continued: "I used to be in charge of the household department, and I know that the national treasury is tight. Although the livestock problem has been solved, there are too many places that need money in such a huge country. There are too many, I heard that there are rumors recently that officials have increased their salaries, and officials in Beijing are poor, so this salary should be increased, but where does the money come from? What is Master Zhang's good plan for this?"

Zhang Quan smiled slightly and said: "Master Li is old-fashioned in seeking the country, and the officials admire him. There is one thing that Mr. Li may not know. Eunuch Ye has ordered the Liaodong Mint to escort 500 million new-style silver coins to the capital. When these silver coins arrive , the problems Master Li said are not problems anymore.”

After hearing Zhang Quan's words, except for Cheng Yu and Yuan Yingtai, the others were stunned.

What is the Liaodong Mint?And it was 500 million silver coins, this Ye Xun is really rich and powerful!
In the past, Liaodong silver coins were only circulated among a small number of people. Because of their excellent workmanship, they were collected as soon as they appeared, so this kind of silver coins are rarely seen in the market.

This time, Ye Xun sold 500 million coins, needless to say, Ye Xun wanted to completely control the economy of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Quan had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart. If Eunuch Ye hadn't had the foresight, I'm afraid he would be really embarrassed by you bastards.

Wang Yin said anxiously: "How can Liaodong cast money privately?"

Before I finished speaking, I quickly shut my mouth. Liaodong was promised to Ye Xun by the emperor himself. Let alone minting coins, Ye Xun has done more daring things than this. Do you still have the ability to find out what happened? ?
Li Dai asked with a dry laugh, and continued: "Since Eunuch Ye has already intervened, there is no need to worry about this matter. This year's spring is coming, what do you think about the candidates for the examiner?"

Before Li Daiwen finished speaking, Yang Sichang, the Minister of Rites who seldom spoke, answered, "You might as well ask Eunuch Ye about this matter, anyway, he is omnipotent."

What he said was obviously ironic. Li Daiwen glanced at Cheng Yu and the others, his face darkened, and he said deliberately: "Master Yang, be careful with what you say, don't blame Eunuch Ye for everything."

Yang Sichang stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "My lords, there are so many major national affairs. Have you ever really devoted your mind to governing the country? Hmph! It doesn't matter if you don't join such a cabinet."

After Yang Sichang finished speaking, he really flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Li Daiwen, Wang Yin and others looking at each other in blank dismay, wondering if this buddy took the wrong medicine this morning?Why are you so angry.
