Chapter 246

May eighteenth.

Today, Yang Reform was the same as usual, he got up late, at eight or nine o'clock, he woke up slowly, he didn't have to go to bed early today, so he slept a little longer.

As usual, after eating breakfast, I slowly prepared to deal with some political affairs and read today's new memorials.

"Brother, what are the more important things today? I see you are smiling all the time today. Could it be that there is something to be happy about?" Prioritizing some more important things, and then dealing with some less important things, this is Yang habit of reform.When we came together today, Yang Reform found that the corners of Wang Chengen's mouth were turned up, as if there was some happy event.

"Hehe, it's really a happy event to report back to Your Majesty. Last night, I got the news that His Majesty recalled the prince and grand master who defended the capital, the governor and Tongzhi, the commander-in-chief, Man Gui, and General Man. I was very tired, and the gate of this palace was also locked, so I didn't disturb His Majesty, I specially told His Majesty early in the morning, His Majesty must be happy to know."

After listening to what Wang Chengen said, Yang Reform almost jumped up. He was very happy. Those Ming Dynasty elites who he recruited to defend the capital and dared to fight finally arrived in the capital. Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Nothing is more important than this Yes, everyone on earth knows it!
"Good! Good! Good! This is finally back, by the way, only Man Gui? Where is Zhao Lijiao?" Yang Reform asked, but Qin Liangyu didn't ask. Thank God that Qin Liangyu can enter Beijing at the end of this year.

"Returning to Your Majesty, General Man Guiman is close to the capital, so he arrived first. General Zhao led the teachings to be farther away from the capital. He is also in Jinzhou, the front line where he is fighting against the Eastern Captives. He is handing over military affairs. I am afraid that it will take more time. I am afraid that Your Majesty will return. We have to wait a few more days..." Wang Chengen explained.

"Oh, that's it! That's good. Hurry up and call Man Gui into the palace. I can't wait!" Regarding Man Gui, Yang Reform dared to say that he knew the details of this man better than everyone now. Pair it with wild boar skin, it's full of osmanthus, but it's a backbone!

A rare smile appeared on Yang Reform's face. With the Ming Dynasty, there were a few troops that could only fight, and his waist would be much stronger. In the future, if he wanted to do something, who would dare not listen to himself? of?Only when you speak and do things by yourself can you become tough.Otherwise, there is no confidence!Of course, the premise is to recruit these troops to his command, feed them, and control them. For this, Yang Reform has prepared a lot, and he will not be stingy about rewards, rewards, and military pay.

"As ordered, I will go now, Your Majesty, but, Your Majesty, there is one more thing to do today. What's strange, the Duke of England wants to see His Majesty, and he is outside the palace, but His Majesty wants to summon him?" Wang Chengen said, when will the nobles be like this? Concerned about government affairs?
"British Duke?" Yang Reform recalled that he had seen this guy before. He was the one who took the lead in electing Zhang Jiude, the governor of the river, as the deputy imperial envoy. What a happy ending.Speaking of this person, Yang Reform still has to thank him. If he also fights for the regular imperial envoy, I am afraid that the imperial envoy will have a difficult delivery.

"Do you know what's up with him?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Duke of England is the leader among the nobles. He didn't say anything, and it's not easy for servants to ask." Wang Chengen replied.

Yang Reform nodded. It seems that the British Duke is still quite a character. Even Wang Chengen, the chief executive, is three points shorter than him. What he does is really different from others!

"See, summon me right away." Yang Reform said, Yang Reform was still thinking about what this guy would do to see him, but no matter how golden fingers and prophets Yang Reform, a transmigrator, would never think of. , This guy is here to give himself money.

……

Qianqing palace warm pavilion.

"Long live, long live, long live, my emperor, my minister, British Lord Zhang Weixian." Zhang Weixian was also getting old, but when he kowtowed, he did not discount, and he did not hold back at all when he kowtowed.

"Hehe, please, the British lord, the British lord doesn't need to be so big, buddy, quickly move a seat for the British lord..." Yang Reform also gave special treatment to the No.1 in the Honorary Lane. Those at the top of the rights should be given special treatment or something.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Weixian sat down after thanking him.

"Mr. Ying, what are you talking about today?" Yang Reform asked, this guy's mouth is really strict!Even when Wang Chengen asked him, he refused to say anything, and he didn't know what it was. I hope it's not too troublesome.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to ask of His Majesty today, and I implore His Majesty's permission..." After Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he stood up again and presented his memorial with both hands.

Yang Reform felt strange, what happened?It's so neurotic.

Wang Chengen took the memorial and presented it to the emperor, and Yang Reform looked through the memorial.The article is full of classical Chinese, I know a little bit, but after reading the beginning, I feel dizzy. This guy talked about something about his ancestors. Look at this memorial." Yang Reform felt a headache.

Zhang Weixian is standing now, and after organizing the speech for a long time, he still feels a little embarrassed. He is asking the emperor for money, but he has to speak up. He is No.1 in Xungui. Didn't you say that your No.1 is useless?
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Weixian finally said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a bit abrupt, please don't take offense." Zhang Weixian first gave the emperor a vaccination.

"Well, the Duke is the pillar of our dynasty. If you have anything to do, you can just say it. If I can make decisions for the Duke, I will definitely not disappoint the Duke." Yang Reform said, the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty has always been the United Kingdom. As a member of the public family, if it's an ordinary matter, Yang Reform doesn't mind selling some face to this guy.

"... Your Majesty, in the past few days, Duke Cheng, Duke Ding and many other dignitaries have come to see the veterans, and they all say that our dynasty is now doing a large-scale disaster relief, and the court's money is tight. You, who have received the grace of Daming for many generations, never abandon Daming at critical moments, are willing to contribute to the court, share the worries of His Majesty, and are willing to deposit money in His Majesty's bank, and must actively save money to solve the urgent financial needs of the court... "Zhang Weixian was embarrassed for a while, but he still stated his purpose. Anyway, let's put a lot of noble hats on this matter of saving money.

Yang Reform wondered, did the sun come out from the west?Or did I sleep so hard this morning that I didn't even hear the magpie?what does this mean?Want to save money?To be honest, Yang Reform never considered that these nobles could save money at all.Historically, these nobles were worthless. Back then, Chongzhen begged his father and sued his grandmother, but he was slapped in the face. Yang Reform didn't want to lose that face, so he didn't think about those nobles for the time being.Yang's reform plan was very simple, that is to get some money from the feudal lord so that he could issue banknotes.After the vassal king received the first interest from himself, he didn't need to promote it himself when he thought about saving money. At that time, others would believe that the interest was real and would come to his own bank to save money. Yang Reform's plan is that it will happen when it happens, but he has no intention of fooling these nobles into saving money.

However, it is Yang Reform's move of not asking the nobles to save money, the more suspicious the nobles are, people are curious, the more inaccurate things, the more they have to do, the more he is excluded , the more he thought about the various benefits in it.

"... What does the Duke mean? The nobles also want to save money in my bank?" Yang Reform was like skimming off the froth with a spatula. Show the true face of this pot of food.

"...Replying to Your Majesty, it is precisely that the nobles heard that the imperial court is in financial difficulties and His Majesty's internal funds are exhausted, so they all want to share the country's worries and solve His Majesty's problems." Zhang Weixian pulled back the pile of floating bubbles to stop the situation. The true colors of pot dishes.

"Really?" Yang Reform didn't believe that there was such a good thing in this world, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: I'm an idiot, are these people insane?
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. The old minister implores Your Majesty to be merciful. We, the nobles, must actively save money, and we must not fall behind. We should repay the kindness we have received from Daming for many lifetimes..."

In fact, Yang Reform never issued an imperial decree at all, saying that only vassal kings were allowed to save money, and he was not planning to start this business on a large scale. He was just waiting for the vassal kings to save money so that they could issue banknotes, and wait for the interest to be saved. This matter just happened so naturally, but now someone is begging him to save money, of course Yang Reform will not refuse, this is the meat that was sent to his mouth, how can he send it back?Immediately said: "This,... um, this..." Yang Reform couldn't help but want to laugh, so much that he wanted to roll with laughter, so that he couldn't even speak normal words.

"Your Majesty, please be merciful." Zhang Weixian put on his old face, thinking that the emperor didn't want the nobles to save money, and he was afraid of paying too much interest, so he could only show his old face to beg the emperor.

Yang Reform almost broke his stomach with laughter, this incident is so funny, this incident is so fucking weird, in the Ming Dynasty in history, the emperor begged you to pay some money, all of you are as stubborn as dead people, now, I won’t let you out Money, you all want to save money to me like buying a birthday, you are really a bunch of fucking sluts.Don't let go, hit the donkey that is going backwards.

"...Well...Since this matter, the Duke is pleading so much, then I can't deny the Duke's face, then this matter...Let's be like this, I will allow the nobles to save money..." Yang Reform laughed so hard, these guys are out of their minds, it was originally something I begged you, but now you are begging me, and I have fallen into a big favor. Thinking about it, it is really strange.

Zhang Weixian was overjoyed, although the emperor agreed, but if the key interest was not so high, it would be nothing for him to talk about.

"Your Majesty, is the interest I'm waiting for the same as that of princes?" Zhang Weixian asked nervously.

"...Well, this... this..." Yang Reform was just putting on airs. In fact, he was just rolling on the ground. Yang Reform only wanted others to save money in his own bank, regardless of who you were.

"I implore your Majesty to treat all people equally. We all contribute to the imperial court. How can we distinguish between relatives and strangers?" What Zhang Weixian fears most is that the interest given to them by the emperor is different from that of princes. Different levels have always enjoyed different treatment, which is deeply rooted. In the hearts of the people, Zhang Weixian is also afraid that the interest is the same as that of people, and it is divided into third-rate and ninth-rate.

"Hehe, since the public has said it, then I will treat people equally, recognize money but not people..." Yang Reform could hardly hold back his own smile, and wanted to vent himself by laughing out loud. Send money to yourself, how much money do you have to earn in your bank?I am worrying about the money. Now, when I want to sleep, someone will give me a pillow, and I will give you a big pillow. There is nothing better than this. Yang Reform has never thought about paying it back. , Yang Reform plans to issue banknotes. With two or three times the circulation, 100 million taels of silver can issue 300 million banknotes. Are you afraid that you will have no money to pay back?However, these guys have to be vaccinated beforehand.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and I am very grateful." Zhang Weixian finally completed today's task and wiped his sweat secretly. Fortunately, the old face of his British father-in-law still has some face in the eyes of the emperor, and finally The matter of distributing the emperor's money was settled.

"However, my lord, my ugly words can be said before. To save money, you have to follow the rules of the bank. It doesn't matter if you save it for a year or ten years. If you don't have the time, you can withdraw it in advance. Give interest, you must be sure of the agreement in advance, and don't go back on your word when the time comes." Yang Reform began to vaccinate.

"This old minister naturally knows, and he will never regret it, never regret it." The nobles like Zhang Weixian only want the little interest from the emperor. Many people's silver has been stored in the cellar for a hundred years, and there is only mildew. If it grows more, it will grow moldy in your own cellar. It is better to change to another cellar and have children.

"Also, the silver is deposited in, and the Duke also knows that I have recently promoted silver coins across the country. In the future, paying taxes and daily expenses will all be silver coins. Therefore, in the future, they will also be calculated according to silver coins. In the future, the money will be withdrawn. It’s also about withdrawing silver coins, this, the Duke of the State, has to think about it carefully.” Yang Reform took another dose of vaccination, this time, there will be 100% of the fire consumption, if you deposit [-] million taels of silver, at least you can get [-]% of the fire consumption , Among them, there are two or three cents of profit to be made, this deal is really very cost-effective.

This time, Zhang Weixian thought about it for a while, and finally said: "This is no problem, Your Majesty, it is no problem, as long as His Majesty can guarantee that it will always be the current silver coin, it will be no problem, it is this kind of silver coin that can be blown, It’s just the kind of silver coin with nine silver and one copper.” Zhang Weixian felt a little embarrassed, he and the emperor talked about this matter too nakedly, Zhang Weixian discussed it yesterday, and felt that the silver coin was quite well done, even if It is not much better than pure silver. Pure silver coins can't be blown, and they are not as easy to use as this kind of silver coins.

A silver coin that blows?Yang Reform had never seen this group of guys discussing things before, if he knew, he would be rolling on the ground laughing on the spot.

"This, no problem at all, it can be written into the deposit certificate for saving money..." Yang Reform immediately agreed, this, there is no problem at all, I can charge [-]% more fire consumption.

Seeing that the emperor was so straightforward, Zhang Weixian wrote the contract into the deposit certificate. He felt that this matter was safe, and his words were unfounded!Especially when dealing with the emperor whose export is constitutional, one has to be cautious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." Zhang Weixian really wanted to thank the emperor, what a great opportunity the emperor gave them!If the emperor hadn't opened his mouth, they would never have such a good thing.

"Does the Duke have anything else to do?" Yang Reform couldn't stop himself from laughing, and forced himself to talk to the guy who gave the money.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing else to do, and the old minister is leaving..." Seeing that the matter is settled, Zhang Weixian will go home immediately, tell the great news to the nobles, and also move his family's money to the bank Go, save money one day earlier, and live in peace one day earlier. What if the emperor regrets seeing that the nobles have saved too much money?
"Hehe, big companion, send the British Duke off." Yang Reform couldn't bear it anymore.Hehe twice.

"Your maidservant obeys, please, please." Wang Chengen knew the emperor's secret. Knowing this, it was purely because the nobles were fooling around, throwing themselves into the trap and sending money to the emperor. His heart was already like the emperor's, rolling on the floor with laughter, but, Wang Chengen's face-skinned skills are much better than the emperor's, with a smile on his face like a flower, he sent the British Duke away, and the British Duke saw that the chief executive would send it in person, and felt that he had a lot of face, so he accepted it.

When the British Duke Zhang Weixian left, Yang Reform couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. Does this matter have such an effect?Coke is really dead.

Not long after, Wang Chengen also came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the emperor laughing, and he laughed along with the emperor, ignoring the rules. Wang Chengen knew the emperor's predicament best. This kind of inexplicable thing can be regarded as God has eyes, Wang Chengen smiled, tears came out, this emperor, it is not easy!It looked very beautiful from the outside, but with the emperor's account book, Wang Chengen knew the emperor's difficulties. The holes in the money were shocking.Now that I was making trouble with this group of guys who are open to money, the bitterness in my heart turned into tears and flowed out.

Yang Reform laughed for a long time, his stomach hurt from laughing, and then he covered his stomach and said, "Big companion, send someone to notify Li Ruolian immediately, tell him to collect the deposit with all his strength, and tell Li Ruolian the things agreed between me and the country, and let him Cashier, write down that the principal and interest will be settled with silver coins, and tell him that now, except for the vassals and nobles, no one else is allowed to pay interest. Do you understand? I understand now that some people, you can’t leave, and they will not leave. Going backwards, the more you don't let him do it, set the threshold, the more he wants to do it, the more he wants to come in, let Li Ruolian deposit according to the title of the depositor, not a vassal, not a noble, a person without a title, no You must save money, and there is no interest for saving money, hehe, I want to see those officials, how can I ask you... Hahaha..." Yang Reform has now seen through the faces of those ruling classes, greedy and stupid very.Yang Reform is going to see how the officials will be blinded when the nobles save money in a big way.

Wang Chengen wiped away his tears early, and said with a smile: "Your servant obeys orders, I will go now." Wang Chengen couldn't stop laughing. If the emperor didn't ask him to do something, he might still be able to laugh for a few days.
