Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In an elegant garden in the capital, many elders of the conservative faction gathered together again to discuss matters.

    "Huihai Bank's current business is extremely unsatisfactory. On the one hand, it is because Huihai Bank has just been established and the number of branches is too small, making it inconvenient for customers to use their funds. However, Daming First Bank has branches all over the country, so depositors can use them conveniently.  own funds.¡±

    "On the other hand, Huihai Bank found that there are difficulties in the circulation of banknotes and silver coins. No one is willing to accept Huihai Bank's banknotes and coins. This is also the reason why Huihai Bank's business cannot develop."

    Liang Chu informed everyone about the development status and problems faced by Huihai Bank.

    "If there are not enough branches, it can be easily solved. It is nothing more than constantly adding branches to make it easier for depositors to use funds."

    "But it is difficult to circulate silver notes and coins. If everyone is unwilling to accept them, there is really no good way."

    Jiang Mian frowned and said.

    The silver notes and silver coins issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty have been recognized and accepted by everyone. It is very difficult to get another set.

    "In my opinion, this still needs to be promoted by imperial decree. It can be easily promoted by forcing everyone to use banknotes and silver coins from Huihai Bank."

    Someone thought for a while and suggested.

    "If we want to force the use of Huihai banknotes and silver coins, we must abandon the existing banknote and silver coin system of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. If this is not abolished, we may never be able to make Huihai Bank  Silver notes and coins circulated and were recognized by everyone.¡±

    Liang Chu thought for a while and added.

    "This is not easy to handle. Behind the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty are the emperor and the prince, as well as Liu Jin, Duke Yingying, Duke Dingguo, and Duke Cheng Guo. They want to abolish the banknotes and silver coins of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.  It¡¯s simply impossible.¡±

    When Mao Ji heard this, he immediately shook his head.

    The backend of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty is really too tough. If it were ordinary, they would have a thousand or ten thousand ways to deal with it, but they were facing the most powerful group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

    It is simply impossible for the emperor, prince, and generals of the Ming Dynasty to do so.

    "Everything depends on human effort, nothing is impossible."

    "In the past, all the princes in the court would always remind the emperor not to compete with the people for profit. The emperor has too much property and should give some of it to the people of the world."

    Yang Tinghe took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said.

    For these traditional conservative civil servants, they have never been afraid of the emperor, especially an emperor like Emperor Hongzhi. In the past, everyone was scrambling to criticize the emperor and wanted to spit on Emperor Hongzhi's face.

    It seems that no one has used the weapon of competing with the people for a long, long time.

    "Competing with the people for profit?"

    When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Is this possible?"

    This is to ask the emperor to abolish his martial arts. Can the emperor agree?

    A good First Bank of the Ming Dynasty can bring huge benefits to the emperor every year. Can the emperor agree to abolish it and give others an advantage?

    What's more, there are people like Liu Jin, Zhang Lun, and Xu Guangzuo. None of them are efficient, especially Liu Jin. He is very powerful. Everyone can't help but frown when they think of Liu Jin.

    This Liu Jin is really as retired now, living his own small life every day, not caring about anything and not asking about anything. It seems that he has really given up on the affairs of the court.

    "It all depends on human effort, not to mention that some things require three people to make a tiger. As long as enough ministers write a letter about this matter, anything is possible."

    Yang Tinghe said very confidently.

    "Um!"

    When everyone heard this, they nodded slightly.

    In the past, everyone did not all play like this. What the emperor wanted to do was countless oppositions, and it was often gone.

    For example, in the past, I wanted to revitalize armaments, but the treasury had no money. The treasury had no money, so the emperor wanted to levy commercial taxes, re-inventory the land, etc. However, these were severely opposed by the ministers, and in the end nothing happened.

    The imperial court still has no money. The emperor wants to revitalize the military, right? Yes, he can take out the money from the internal funds.

    Emperor Hongzhi took out the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he had managed to save, but was corrupted by officials at all levels. When it came into the hands of the border troops, the swords they handed out were almost like iron sheets.

    Relying on this method, the former civil servants played tricks on the emperor.They can do whatever they want in the palm of their hand. The salt merchants feel that it is too troublesome to transport grain to the border areas every year.

    So I changed the money from grain payment to money payment. In the first few years, I could still receive a lot of money, which seemed very good. But I soon found that the money from the payment of money was getting less and less. The frontier army bought  However, the price of food became more and more expensive, and as a result, the court had no money again.

    The frontier army is even more trapped here. They don¡¯t even have enough to eat. How can you still expect the frontier army to reach the Tatars in the north?

    And the families behind those officials are rapidly expanding, with more and more land in their families, and more and more money buried underground.

    It seems that they have become richer, but for the entire Ming Dynasty, their energy is constantly being consumed, conflicts are getting deeper and deeper, and problems are becoming more and more prominent.

    "There are also oil and electricity. These two emerging industries have unlimited money potential, but they are currently monopolized and occupied by Liu Jin's industries."

    "We have to think of some extraordinary methods, otherwise it will be impossible to snatch it."

    At this time, Mao Ji mentioned oil and electricity, two rapidly developing and emerging industries.

    They are also interested in these two major industries, especially oil. As long as they find oil fields, they can sit back and collect money continuously.

    Nowadays, the demand for oil is also increasing, and the price of oil has always been very good. As soon as the switch of the oil field is turned on, the oil flows out like running water, and it is all money in vain.

    "Everyone should ask more people to write letters to impeach Liu Jin. Even if it has no impact on him now, the more people impeach him, the more times he will be impeached."

    "Some miracles and cracks will always appear slowly."

    Someone thought for a while and said.

    "Well, this is a great plan!"

    Others also nodded. In recent years, after the reform of officialdom, everyone seems to have no time for impeachment and criticism.

    In the past, memorials were basically this type of memorial. Everyone impeached and criticized each other endlessly. The morning court was basically occupied by these things.

    Officials form cliques and fight against each other, basically relying on these methods.

    "I think this oil and electricity should be operated like the previous salt. This oil should belong to the imperial court and should be operated and managed by the imperial court."

    ¡°If electricity is to be popularized, it should be run by the imperial court.¡±

    Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said.

    "What Mr. Yang said is true, what he said is true!"

    ¡°The resources on this land of the Ming Dynasty belong to the Ming Dynasty court and should be managed by the court.¡±

    When the others heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.

    In the past, the salt and iron franchise was all run by the imperial court. For this reason, there were also specialized farmers and craftsmen. The farmers specialized in boiling salt in the salt works, and the craftsmen specialized in smelting and forging iron for the court.

    Originally it seemed like a very good system, but everyone knows the result.

    Chang households worked tirelessly to cook salt all year long. As a result, they were extremely poor and could not even eat enough. The salt was later sold to salt merchants by the officials in the salt field. The salt merchants relied on their monopoly  His status was sold at a high price, and he made a lot of money, becoming richest in the world.

    If the oil and electricity are also managed by the imperial court, then they will have countless ways to take the interests of these oil and electricity into their own hands.

    It is also possible to control oil and electricity just like we used to control salt, and we won¡¯t even have to pay taxes at that time, because this is run by the court itself, so what kind of taxes will we pay?

    "This plan is very clever, this plan is very clever!"

    Everyone immediately laughed.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ??Does business need to be used?

    There is no need to operate at all, just having power is enough. Use power to formulate policies and exclude outsiders, and they can easily enjoy the good life inside.

    "Haha, this matter still needs everyone to continue to advise and clarify the key points. When everyone works together in the morning, there will definitely be no problem."

    "In the final analysis, we are all doing it for the emperor, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the country and the country."

    Yang Tinghe said with a happy smile.

    ¡°We admire Mr. Yang¡¯s righteousness!¡±

    "Yes, we all work for the country and the country of Ming Dynasty!"

    Everyone else also quickly started to compliment him.

    Yang Tinghe has regained the appreciation of the emperor. In addition, he was still Zhu Houzhao's teacher. The future is promising. Now he is a cabinet minister. It is certain that he will be the chief minister of the cabinet in the future.
