Mingshi

Chapter 1557 Epilogue
After the news got out, Xu Jie and Gao Gong still didn't understand what Luo Xin was going to do, they were fools.

Luo Xin wants to change the currency system and increase silver coins.

Xu Jie's eyes immediately showed fear, and Luo Xin must not be allowed to increase the silver coins.At this time, Xu Jie didn't care to maintain his demeanor and stayed at home, and hurried back to the cabinet.The news of Xu Jie's return to the cabinet soon became known to everyone. Zhang Juzheng came to Xu Jie's room, and Xu Jie asked in a calm voice:
"Tai Yue, do you know anything about silver coins?"

"I don't understand!" Zhang Juzheng said: "Now this silver coin is also our guess, Luo Xin has never admitted it."

"Ta Tata..."

There was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by someone's voice.

"Meet Mr. Gao Ge."

"Gao Gong is back too!" Zhang Juzheng whispered.

"The old man is back, will he come back?" Xu Jie said indifferently: "You go and call Luo Xin."

"Yes."

Soon, Luo Xin opened the door and walked in, and saluted according to the rules: "I have met Mr. Xu."

"Sit." Xu Jie said lightly.

"No need." Luo Xin said with the same indifferent expression: "I still have something to do, what orders does Master Xu have?"

Xu Jie's expression froze for a moment, and then he regained his composure.The conflict between him and Luo Xin, because Luo Xin didn't give him face, he had long been psychologically prepared.

"Lord Luo, what do you want to do by setting up a financial management company, mobilizing an army, and a group of craftsmen?"

"Secret!" Luo Xin said calmly.

"Secret?" Xu Jie was so angry that his beard curled up and said, "I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, what secrets can Daming keep from me?"

"You can ask His Majesty. If His Majesty is willing to tell you, then it will not be a secret to you. But now there is no order from His Majesty, this is a secret."

"You...well, I'll ask His Majesty right now." Speaking of this, Xu Jie smiled coldly and said, "Luo Xin, don't be complacent, yours is not a secret, you can guess it, it's just an increase in silver coins That's all."

Luo Xin's face didn't change at all, he just looked at Xu Jie calmly and said, "Master Xu, I'm taking my leave."

Coming out of Xu Jie's room, he saw Gao Gong standing on the steps of his own room door, beckoning to Luo Xin, and Luo Xin came to Gao Gong and saluted:
"I have seen Mr. Gao."

Gao Gong said with a smile: "Come on, let's go in and have a chat."

Watching Xu Jie leave the room and walk towards the palace.Luo Xin and Gao Gong looked at each other and smiled, entered Gao Gong's room, and after they were seated, Gao Gong asked:
"Just now Xu Jie was looking for you?"

"Ask me to establish a financial department, and what to do with mobilizing the army and artisans from the Ministry of Industry? I told him it was a secret."

"Hahaha..." Gao Gong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "You wouldn't tell me that too, would you?"

"Of course not, it's not a secret at all, it's just a delay for a while."

"You!" Gao Gongxu nodded to Luo Xin a few times and said, "Tell me about it."

Luo Xin then talked about the reform of the currency system and the increase of silver coins. Gao Gong frowned slightly and said:
"Da Ming doesn't have much silver, have you considered it?"

"There are very few silver producing areas in Ming Dynasty. This is the reason why silver is not in circulation. But now it is no longer a problem. In the Shibo Department, a large amount of silver flows in every month. Our problem now is to ensure the smooth progress of the currency reform."

"What do you need the old man to do?"

"It's very simple, it's our turn to fight back..."

dusk.

All the officials walked towards their mansion, but everyone's face showed excitement.Xu Dang, Gao Dang, and Luo Dang officials were all excited because they had all received orders.

Xu Jie went to see Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing didn't hide Xu Jie, but told Xu Jie that he didn't know the details, but only a general idea.Therefore, Xu Jie summoned Ge Shouli, Wang Guoguang, Zhao Zhenji and others, and then ordered them to impeach Luo Xin and change the currency system without authorization, which would inevitably cause chaos in Ming Dynasty and shake the foundation of the country.

However, now that Ma Fang is leading the officials of the Ministry of Officials to investigate closely, these officials dare not write memorials during working hours, except for those imperial envoys.Therefore, they all hurried back to the mansion, preparing to write impeachment memorials and work hard.

Gao Gong and Luo Xin also made arrangements to impeach Xu Jie in all directions.

Day two.

early morning.

Sure enough, the impeachment of the three parties was like snowflakes, giving Emperor Longqing the feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed by the impeachment memorial.And in the early morning, everyone completely tore their skins and scolded each other.

As time went by, Luo Xin's power finally exploded.

Luo Xin's people didn't get involved before. In fact, Luo Xin didn't have much strength in the capital, and his strength was all local.So Gao Gong was at a disadvantage.However, Luo Xin's power completely exploded this time.A few days later, the southern seven northern sixty-thirteen provinces successively sent a large number of memorials to impeach Xu Jie, and for the first time Xu Jie began to lose the wind.

Daming has entered the era of quarrels, every day in the court is quarrels, and Emperor Longqing is not a sage, just watching everyone quarreling, time is spent in this kind of quarrels.At the same time, under the control of Gao Gong and Ma Fang, the Ministry of Officials is inspecting the six ministries and two courts every day, and the assessment is even stricter.

The cabinet is already in a state of disintegration, and everyone knows in their hearts that this is a decisive battle, with no winners and losers, and it will not end.

Xu Jie began to be in a state of desperation, and those who impeached him were all real hammers, and one by one, it spread, killing his mentor Xia Yan, flattering the late emperor, misappropriating disaster relief funds, causing wars all over the world, Xu's rampant in Songjiang, etc. wait.

Even in the teahouses and restaurants in the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, countless storytellers compiled Xu Jie's bad things into storytelling, and Xu Jie's reputation was ruined in a short time.

However, Xu Jie could only quarrel and impeach, and had no way to stop Luo Xin's currency reform.Because he couldn't enter Huangzhuang outside the city at all.Moreover, Emperor Longqing stated that the matter of currency reform was left to Luo Xin to handle alone.

In this way, three months later, Luo Xin announced the start of currency reform, and silver coins began to appear.

Although silver was not in circulation before the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty recognized the value of silver, just like recognizing the value of gold.This is not a treasure, just a piece of paper.Silver has real value.Therefore, as soon as the imperial court withdrew from silver coins, it was immediately recognized by the ruling and opposition parties.The problem of money shortage was solved along the way.As soon as the problem of money shortage was solved, the whip continued unstoppably.

Xu House.

study.

Standing opposite to Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng said softly: "Men, Your Majesty called me into the palace today, let me persuade you to resign."

Xu Jie sat there motionless, like a statue.
