Villager of Daming

Chapter 837: Local Impeachment and Empty Seal

When Zha Menzi came, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the hot spring pool looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Zhu Wentian ate a handful of meat skewers by himself and pushed the floating tray with stuffing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Eat, delicious, not hungry, hey! Hehehehehe..."

"Hehehehe, yes, if you eat, you won't be hungry. The same goes for us. Why don't you think about it yourself? We just understand and go up and eat. Soak it in water and eat to calm your stomach."

Zhu Yuanzhang instantly understood. He had been wondering whether it would be good or bad to allow more businessmen to join the Ming Dynasty's economy.

He knew what the secondary market meant. The primary market was things obtained directly from farmland, pastures, and mountains, and then processed into secondary products.

This thing is like treasure money and loan interest. It is a double-edged sword that not only hurts others, but also hurts yourself.

Prevent the issuance of treasure banknotes without collateral. At the same time, when there is too much collateral, we must control the issuance of treasure banknotes in the future. We will not issue as much gold and silver as we have to avoid excessive circulation of treasure banknotes and causing inflation.

However, bank lending is not allowed to increase interest rates. After the increase, there will naturally be less liquidity, and inflation should be curbed. As a result, because the interest rates are high, more money will be derived, currency depreciation will occur, and inflation will occur.

Treasure money is a short-term behavior, and interest rate increases are a long-term impact, which need to be adjusted at any time to control the degree.

Therefore, holding a set of theories and doing things consistently will ensure that problems will arise.

After relaxing, Zhu Yuanzhang went ashore and picked up his wine glass: "We know that the finance that Yichang mentioned is difficult to learn, so we read the introductory book for beginners.

When money flow decreases, that is, when deflation occurs, the central bank of Ming Dynasty will lower the required reserve ratio and interest rates, and put more currency into circulation in the market.

Then under certain circumstances, such as obvious inflation and economic decline, this still cuts the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates, which feels very contradictory. "

The chief nodded: "Your Majesty, I was confused at first, but later I realized that if the currency in circulation was not invested in production, but would always be used to pay interest in the loan process.

If we don’t release money, if that link is broken, everything will be ruined. At the same time, we must also promote the development of production.

The loans granted by our banks cannot be used for further lending. They must be used for investment in daily life and production.

Farmers take out loans to buy farm tools and livestock, or provide education for their children, or they eat meat to supplement their poor health.

The money released in this way is conducive to the development of Ming society. If you go around and lend money to others, the money released in the end will not actually increase the means of production, and the data generated will be ineffective gross production. "

"Yeah, this crap is so difficult to learn. Who would have thought it would be difficult for us! Drink!" Zhu Yuanzhang could barely keep up with the train of thought and had a headache.

……

"Who would have thought that it would not be easy for us?" Hu Weiyong, who was working hard to deal with private loan issues when everyone else was on vacation, arrived at the cabinet early in the morning. He sat with dark circles under his eyes and complained with a blank look on his face.

He now has the power to send a large number of manpower, including the army, to various state capitals to investigate.

There has been no feedback from places far away, but the nearby state capitals are arresting those who should be arrested. The best one is Yingtian Mansion, followed by Ningguo Mansion, and then Taiping Mansion.

In the latter two prefectures, people are sent to the local areas, and the prefects will help them. They will be clean, and the unclean ones will become clean. If the local area has money, their treatment will be improved.

The exemplary government business activities provided them with money to maintain their integrity, and they could share that money.

So I returned all the money that I shouldn't have taken. I was afraid that right under His Majesty's nose, whenever something happened, I would try two mansions and keep a close eye on him. Who could bear this?

Check the gold and silver shop, seal it after the government officials go there, arrest everyone and imprison them separately, and then investigate and write a test book to the court.

Hu Weiyong followed the previous method and asked the gold and silver shop to refund part of the money, fined part of it, and lent part of the money at low interest rates to the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty. That is, in the palace, the gold and silver were transferred to Xiaqiu Village to seal the treasury and then issue treasure notes. If loan sharking leads to the destruction of families and the forced marriage of good people into prostitution, the matter should be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

The most serious ones are killed, the relatively light ones are thrown away for mining, and the ones who don't pay are sent to the most dangerous places, such as arranging dumb cannons and the like.

The state capitals that were dealt with all praised Zuo Cheng. It was Hu Zuo Cheng who saw that Ming Dynasty was not clear about its borrowing and lending, so he took the initiative and took the lead in handling it.

Hu Weiyong was depressed because he had not reaped the benefits and had to blame himself for offending others. Local officials would inevitably be involved with the gold and silver shop.

Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are stable, and officials from Zhenjiang Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion next to them have written the inscription to impeach themselves. Without passing through their own hands, they have been transferred to Chen Ning, the censor in front of him, who is now actually called Youdu Censor.

Another censor of the capital, Zeng Lu, went home to rest. His name was censor Zuo, and he was older than Chen Ning.

Chen Ning followed suit. At this moment, he was holding the inscription for impeaching Hu Weiyong: "Prime Minister Hu, shall I give it to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is in Xiaqiu Village, so he has no time to pay attention to you. He will send you off when you come back, or send him outside Chaoyang Gate.

snort! Impeach me? Does impeachment work? Your Majesty asked me to do it. Doesn’t Your Majesty understand what’s going on?

Does it say that the officials want to serve together? Begging for bones, retiring from old age and returning home, etc.? "

Hu Weiyong doesn't care about impeachment, even if one day His Majesty uses it to deal with him. If His Majesty wants to deal with people, he can find any reason at will. So what if he has this or not?

Chen Ning shook his head: "No, they don't dare. If they threaten us with this matter, His Majesty will kill them all. They are just sophistry."

"We didn't think about arresting them. We just dealt with the loan business of the gold and silver shop, and by the way, we helped the court get gold and silver as collateral."

Hu Weiyong lowered his lips and pitied those officials.

The officials did not defend themselves, but just took out the money, and nothing happened. The more trouble they caused, the more His Majesty remembered that after a new batch of officials were trained, it would be time to deal with these people.

"Hu Xiang, shall we deliver it to His Majesty? Can you take a look?" Chen Ning didn't want to let this thing fall into his hands.

Hu Weiyong waved his hand: "You can't watch it. You'll know after watching it. If your Majesty asks, I leak the secret and you will be in trouble, so give it away!"

"Prime Minister Hu, there was another time when someone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached local officials for filling in blanks and then filling them in when handing over grain taxes between the local government and the Ministry of Household Affairs. This..."

Chen Ning talked about another thing, which was a very normal thing in history, the empty seal case.

This is a big killer, as famous as the Hu Weiyong case. The specific time has not been determined, but the signs of an outbreak have long appeared.

"This..." Hu Weiyong was in trouble. He didn't understand what His Majesty meant. What had always existed was specifically asked to be revealed by the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

"Should I press it down first?" Chen Ning asked tentatively.

"Then you're dead, send it, send it together. Anyway, there is an expert over there. It depends on the expert's wishes. Your Majesty wants to... let's go!"

Hu Weiyong said that he stopped and asked Chen Ning to find His Majesty. He didn't care. He continued to work on his own business. He understood that he had to get the gold and silver.

If the people are willing to accept the treasure banknotes, His Majesty will be happy. Once the money is issued, the pressure on you will be less.
