Chapter 245 It's not fair, we also have the right to save money

To appease the Jinshi who is about to go to various places to serve as immigration officers, Juren, the task of going to the Imperial College is considered completed.It also gave the Guozijian's sacrificial wine a whirlwind, paving the way for future enrollment expansion.It also gives a signal to some people who are still hesitating. Nowadays, in this Guozijian, it is by no means as simple as collecting money to buy an official. With the super handwriting of tens of millions of silver for disaster relief, the unspoken rule that the official is no more than the fifth rank is torn apart. , making the future of juren become an official brighter, and made an advertisement for Guozijian in disguise.It's good to make money.

……

In the mansion of the British Duke Zhang Weixian, several nobles represented by the Dukes are discussing something.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian is the well-deserved leader of the noble family. Even in the years when Wei Zhongxian was so powerful, his family still lived in peace and stability.

"Drink, drink, enjoy the wind and the moon..." Everyone yelled, enjoying the singing and dancing outside while drinking.

……

After drinking for a while, someone finally mentioned today's business.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was the most anxious, and asked first: "Guogong! Just say a few words, is this going to work?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't help it anymore, and asked the leader of the honor.

"Chunchen! Don't rush this matter, be careful, be careful!" Zhang Weixian said.

"Duke! You have to make up your mind about this matter. We nobles are all looking at you! If you don't make up your mind, we don't know whether this matter will work or not! You say In a word." Zhu Chunchen was eager to confirm this matter.

"Well, since the Duke is so eager, then the Duke will just say a few words."

Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty has only notified the vassal princes of this matter so far, and has not told me that I will deposit money in the bank. Therefore, I have to ask Your Majesty whether there will be any interest in saving the money in the bank. I know." The British Duke, as the boss of the noble family, said slowly while stroking his beard.

Speaking of which, several people who were together in Fengyue all nodded their heads. It is really strange. The emperor has always issued an edict directly to his courtiers to borrow money and donate money. Every family is involved in it. This time it is strange. Just writing letters to the various feudal lords, none of them have received a letter. Doesn't this mean that they are not allowed to donate money?Things in this world are so strange sometimes, the more you don't let him do it, the more he thinks there is an inside story, the more he thinks there is a conspiracy, the more he wants to do it, this time, the emperor only wrote letters to the various feudal lords to save money, I didn't write to these nobles to donate money, which made these nobles very uncomfortable. The more the emperor left them aside, the more they wanted to save money. I didn't tell them the high interest rate. If they saved money, wouldn't it be useless if they didn't have such a high interest rate?So, everyone gathered together to discuss what to do, and the British Duke's house became an ideal place for the village. Who said that the British Duke is the head of the noble family?

"Furthermore, does His Majesty open this bank, do you have any money to pay back? Regarding this, I don't think you have any objections? Then Liulizhai is digging for gold every day!" Zhang Weixian said again.

Everyone nodded again, the background of Liulizhai, these people have very sharp noses, they all know that the backstage of this Liulizhai is the emperor, even the female shopkeeper is the emperor's woman, they also know it clearly.They are the most impressed by Liulizhai's terrifying gold-absorbing ability. Every household has glass from Liulizhai, and anyone who has not been sucked into it for 2000 taels of silver is ashamed to be in the noble circle of the capital.

"Hehe, yes! Yes! Your Majesty doesn't know where to find such a deal. You are really digging for gold and silver! I'm so envious, if only I could find such a gold mountain, it's not just gold, And that beautiful little lady..." Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen said wretchedly and enviously, it's a pity that the backstage of this Liulizhai is the emperor, otherwise, Zhu Chunchen would have got the Liulizhai no matter what, At the end of the conversation, the conversation turned to Sun Liniang, the treasurer of Liulizhai.

"Shut up! Did you say that too? Did you think that too?" The British Duke Zhang Weixian stopped immediately when he saw that Zhu Chunchen was talking about that woman. Yes, you say this now, and it will be heard in her ears in the future, and she will give the emperor a blow, you can't eat it, and you will go around and take us with you.

Zhu Chunchen drank too much wine and his mind was confused. After being drunk by the British public, he came to his senses and remembered what he said, so he quickly shut his mouth and pretended he didn't say anything.

"No one has heard of this, and no one has said this." Zhang Weixian said again.

Several nobles nodded again.By default, if this matter is publicized, they will not please them.

At this moment, there were bursts of shouts from a distance, the momentum was astonishing, and they all felt that the momentum was terrifying in the depths of the palace.Several nobles became nervous in vain.

"Zigui, Zigui, quickly send someone to see what's going on." The British public saw that the momentum was really huge, and they were afraid that tens of thousands of people would shout together, afraid that something might happen.

"Of order, I'll go now, little one." The man who called Zigui was the butler of the Duke of England, and he was also very surprised when he heard the loud shouts outside, so he immediately went to see what happened.

A few honorable representatives were not in the mood to enjoy the singing and dancing, so they stopped singing and dancing and waited anxiously.

The shouting place is in the inner city, not far from the residence of the Duke of England, and the butler will return soon.

"Reporting to the Duke, there is His Majesty's convoy going to the Imperial College outside, and Wanmin kneels down the street to see him off, shouting Long Live Your Majesty." The housekeeper named Zigui quickly figured out the matter.

A few nobles peeked at each other. This kind of thing has not happened in the Ming Dynasty for many years. Now the emperor's reputation is really high. When he leaves the palace, there will be thousands of people kneeling down the street to see him off.

Zhu Chunchen was the first to speak, and said: "I knew that your Majesty is not short of money. Let me tell you, is there anyone who is short of money while holding a gold mountain? Your Majesty just got tens of millions of taels of silver to relieve the disaster without making a show of it. Fame, Wanmin kneels down the street to give it away, tsk tsk..., how many years have I been here, who has had this kind of treatment? I think His Majesty only lets the vassals save money and doesn't let me wait to save money. He really doesn't want me to wait Earning that interest, you know, if you save it for ten years, the interest rate is horribly high, and the capital can be doubled. The silver in the cellar of my house has been stored for hundreds of years at the longest. Turning into two silver coins, if it can be saved for hundreds of years, how much money will it cost! Your Majesty is afraid that I will wait for too much money and keep it for too long, and His Majesty is unwilling to pay the interest, so you don't let me Those who are waiting to save money, hehe... This matter, Duke, you have to fight for us nobles, why only the princes are allowed to save money, and we nobles are not allowed to save money. Back then, we My ancestors have all contributed to the Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Chunchen was very upset, why did the emperor only let the vassals save money? They did not issue an imperial edict to prevent them from depositing money. Zhu Chunchen felt that there must be something strange in it. This was unfair to their nobles. The emperor was afraid that they would save too much money and give them too much interest. Not worth it.

When Zhu Chunchen said this, everyone was shocked by the shouts of the people just now, and they all felt that what Zhu Chunchen said was right. If the emperor was short of money, who would believe it?Isn't this tens of millions of taels of disaster relief just a shot?How could the shouts of the people outside be false?In the first half of the year, the shot was 200 million taels of silver for each side to supplement the sound. Compared with this, it was considered a small hand, but at that time, when the 200 million came out, it really shocked everyone, but compared with this ten million Comparing the two, it's not enough to see. Everyone is also used to the emperor's increasingly large handwriting. If you say that the emperor is short of money, the entire court will spray you with a bunch of facts.

What's more, the speed at which this Liulizhai makes money really makes everyone jealous.Nowadays, no one has a few things from Liulizhai, so they dare not go out, and they are embarrassed to talk to others. The glass mirror and glass objects are all placed in the most conspicuous place in the living room. A word, shabby.

The emperor was not short of money, but he only wrote letters to the feudal lords and asked them to save money.That emperor, you shouldn't hold back our nobles!Anyway, our ancestors were born and died for the Ming Dynasty.As a result, they all felt that they had been treated unfairly.

If Yang Reform knew that this was the case, he would definitely call himself wronged. Yang Reform never thought of asking these nobles to borrow money at all. Judging from the historical ending that Yang Reform knew, the nobles were all worthless. As for the characters, I never thought of borrowing money from these people. As for the princes of the various families, at any rate, Jiang Shang of Daming is also surnamed Zhu. The idea of ​​collecting a million taels for reserve silver, after calculation, a family of feudal lords only has a few thousand taels of silver. Putting hope on those wise princes in history.How do you know that these nobles think this way? If you know this is the case, Yang Reform will definitely not write letters, and he will directly issue an edict, asking all households to deposit money in their own banks.

"Yes, Duke, you have to take the lead in this matter and explain this matter clearly to the emperor. We also need to save money..."

"That's right, Duke, why does His Majesty only allow the vassals to save money, think about us, and contribute to the Ming Dynasty, why does His Majesty not allow us to contribute?..." This person must have seen it The content of the letters written by the emperor to the princes.

"...Duke, you have to hurry up on this. The silver in my cellar is also moldy. Now, I have found a good place for the moldy silver. The silver can still have cubs. There is really nothing better than this." It’s okay, I don’t save it if I don’t save it, I want to save it! Just save it for ten years, save him 10 taels, hehe... Nowadays, the prospects in this field are getting less and less. There's only so much money, so it's better to deposit the money in His Majesty's bank! You don't have to do anything, just wait for the money to be collected..."

Everyone was upset, and asked the British government to represent them and ask the emperor for their right to save money.

The butler of the British Duke Zhang Weixian said again: "I would like to report to the Duke, today, the little one met a strange thing. On the way, the little one met the head of the internal supply warehouse, Mr. Ma, and he gave the little one a strange thing." Toy, the little one thinks this toy is strange, so I specially brought it to the Duke."

"A rare thing? What is it worth making a fuss about?" The British justice was entertaining these nobles, and felt ashamed to see his butler show off with someone else's novelty.However, I am also curious about what kind of novelty this is, and my housekeeper has also seen the world.

"Reporting to the Duke, this is it..." The housekeeper named Zigui took out a sample of silver coins that Yang Reform had just distributed.

"Silver coin?" British Duke Zhang Weixian asked back, is this thing worth making a fuss about?It was really a loss of face for the family, Zhang Weixian was going to make the housekeeper look good.The other nobles also had sarcasm on their faces. Although this thing is also a novelty, it was said a few days ago that it was okay, and it was still a novelty. Now, it is old news.

The man named Zigui saw that his master was showing signs of getting angry, and immediately explained the mystery: "I want to report to the Duke, yes, I heard that this is the wedding money that His Majesty gave out for the dragon son in the empress' belly in the palace. Say, it’s still the same money..."

"This is indeed a sample of money, and it has a twisted edge." The British Duke finally heard one rather important thing from this little thing, that is, the queen is happy. This is indeed an important thing. If the child is a prince, then he will be the prince in the future, the emperor in the future. For this, capital must be invested in advance.

"...There is something even more miraculous. It is said that this newly minted silver coin can be blown." The housekeeper named Zigui finally revealed the secret of the silver coin.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Can this money still be blown?Hell, is this still made of silver?
When the British Duke heard this, he picked it up repeatedly in disbelief, looked and looked, weighed and weighed again and again, he was really puzzled, and said: "Zigui, are you sure, this is really a sample money from His Majesty? How did you blow it?" ?” The British Duke Zhang Weixian absolutely did not believe that silver coins could be blown.

"Young one, I'll blow it to the Duke." The housekeeper named Zigui took the silver coin from the British Duke, clamped the center of the silver coin with his fingertips, blew on the silver coin, and quickly put it in the British coin. Sure enough, the crisp "buzzing" sound immediately sounded in the ear of the father.

"Yes, it seems that there is really..." The British prince was so impressed by the magical "buzzing" sound, he took the silver coin from his butler, imitated the butler, squeezed it in his hand, and blew it , quickly put it to his ear, and sure enough, this time, the sound of "buzzing" was clearer than before.

"Yes, there really is, it's strange..." the British Duke Zhang Weixian took this magical silver coin, flipped through it repeatedly, and was amazed in his mouth.

The other nobles stretched their heads, watching the British Duke blowing the silver coins, and felt itchy in his heart. If the silver coins were really blowing loudly, this is indeed a rare thing.

Zhu Chunchen couldn't bear it anymore, he ran to the front of Duke Ying, and said, "Duke, give me a try too."

The British official didn't say anything, and handed it directly to Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen imitated the example of the British Duke, pinched the center of the silver coin with his fingertips, and blew in the same way. Sure enough, the crisp "buzzing" immediately rang in his ears.

"Hey... It's a strange thing, it can really blow! It's a strange thing! How did it work? Could it be that the inside is still hollow?..." Zhu Chunchen looked over and over in disbelief, and couldn't help but weigh it. The weight and fineness are good, it definitely doesn't look like hollow!If it can really create a hollow, what level is it?It's simply ingenious!

The other nobles couldn't bear it anymore, and came over one after another, imitating the example, blowing silver coins.

After some tests, the silver coin was able to sound, and finally got everyone's approval.

"Duke, this is too mysterious, isn't it that silver coins can blow? Could it be that the inside is really empty, what kind of mechanism is installed?" It is really difficult for a nobleman to understand the mystery.

"Hollow? I don't think it's possible to make it into the air with this color and weight? Is it possible? By the way, Zigui, you mean, His Majesty bestowed a lot of such money? Others can be blown Is this one the only one that can blow it?" Zhu Chunchen asked, if only this one can blow it, then the money is really worth it.

"Back to Cheng Guogong, it is said that the money bestowed by His Majesty is as much as two thousand pieces. That Eunuch Ma also said that the silver coins minted by His Majesty this time are the same as this kind of money, and they can be blown..." This The butler named Zigui replied.

All the silver coins can be blown, and all the nobles gasp, this guy.

The British Duke also felt that this incident was too shocking, and said: "Zigui, go, go to the warehouse, get a few silver coins used by the barbarians, and then send someone to Baoquan Bureau to get some newly minted silver coins. Check it immediately." Zhang Weixian felt that this matter was too mysterious, if a silver coin was made into a wonderful workmanship, and it could be blown, they believed this, but if it was said that millions of silver coins could be blown Ring, this, beyond their imagination, there must be a secret in it.

The butler immediately ran out to find some money.

Honorable men, look at me, I look at you, His Majesty the Emperor today, there are too many things that are beyond their imagination, often breaking their thinking patterns.

Everyone sat depressed, and after a while, the British Duke Zhang Weixian said: "If you can really blow the sound, the money made by His Majesty this time is probably beyond the ancient times, and I am afraid that this silver coin will become popular all over the world immediately. Ah! Your Majesty is truly a genius, as if he is blessed by the gods!" Zhang Weixian said it from the bottom of his heart. If this kind of money is created, if it is not accepted immediately, then there is a real problem. The weight, design, and color are all high-quality products, and what's more, they can actually blow out that super crisp sound, which was absolutely unprecedented before. In this way, this kind of silver coin may be more valuable than silver. You have to pay back the silver. Check the color, weigh it, and even check if there is any hidden lead in it. It is as convenient as silver coins there!

When it comes to the protection of gods and men, people have different thoughts in their hearts. The legendary gods and men...

The nobles were silent for a long time, until the butler ran in panting with coins, and then interrupted the silence of everyone. The emperor's surprise was really too unexpected.

The Duke of England immediately took the coins. The silver coins used by the barbarians could not be blown, but when he blew on His Majesty's silver coins, it still sounded crisp and clear.

"The silver coins of the barbarians can't be blown, but your majesty's silver coins can be blown even if they are not the same kind of money..." The British Duke stared at the few silver coins with a solemn expression.

The other nobles also snatched a few silver coins and tried it themselves. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the British Duke said.

These, the nobles were even more shocked!This emperor really seems to have divine help!

"...It can really blow it, it can blow it!" Zhu Chunchen yelled. Today, he has opened his eyes. Obviously, they are all silver coins, but the silver coins of barbarians can't make that kind of "buzzing" sound. , and His Majesty's, that kind of crisp sound, everyone can play it.

"...This...This..." The British Duke Zhang Weixian was confused and didn't know what to say.

"Duke, hurry up and enter the palace. You should hurry up and tell your majesty about saving money. You must ask your majesty to show mercy so that I can save money too! I, Zhu Chunchen, will do my best to save as much as I have!" Zhu Chunchen He was born to love money and was very sensitive to money. After thinking about a lot of things, he immediately urged the British public to be a representative and entered the palace to fight for the right to save money for the nobles.

"Chunchen, why are you so anxious?" The British Duke asked puzzledly.

"Duke, you still don't understand? This silver coin is so good, it can be blown when it is made, it is worth more than pure silver! Your Majesty is now promoting this silver coin, and everyone is still scratching their heads to use it! How many silver coins can I make every year when I am at the top? Do a little calculation, a hundred million silver coins per year is not a problem, and your majesty has a fire consumption of [-]%. I'm afraid that His Majesty won't open the door, and won't let me wait to deposit money! Alas..." Zhu Chunchen couldn't sit still any longer, and walked up and down on the ground, very annoyed.

"Ah!..." Everyone understood after Zhu Chunchen's explanation. It turned out that His Majesty didn't want to give us interest, so he didn't ask us to save money!This is unfair, obviously giving money to the feudal lords, but not giving us honorable opportunities, this is simply..., this is not fair, not fair!This must be fought for, must be fought for!
"Duke..."

"Duke...it's not too late..."

"Duke...the sooner the better..."

"Duke, it's not too late..."

All the nobles can't do it anymore, where can I find such a good thing of giving money?Whoever does not fight is a fool.

Zhang Weixian calmed down, stroked his beard with his hand, thought for a moment, and said: "Everyone, my Duke will take care of this matter, but I'm afraid it won't work today. Now, Your Majesty just went to the Imperial College, and then returned to the palace. I'm afraid it will be dark soon." Now, go to bother His Majesty again, I’m afraid it’s not good. Besides, even if Your Majesty agrees to save money, this bank will be closed, and you can’t save money. In this way, you go back first and prepare the silver you want to deposit. I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to ask for the oracle to save money on behalf of everyone, what do you think?"

"it is good……"

"it is good……"

When the nobles heard it, they also felt that it made sense. They felt itchy in their hearts, wishing to immediately deposit the money in the emperor's bank. Who knows how long the emperor's mouth will last?

Yang Reform had been exhausted all day and returned to the palace exhausted. He must have never imagined that someone would give him money early in the morning tomorrow. If he knew what these nobles were talking about, he would probably cramp from laughing.
