Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhenwu glanced at Song Zhu. This guy was worthy of being born in the military. He was very courageous. He did not own the 'Four Great Hengs'. The royal family members and princes of the capital also held several percent of the shares. Authorized  The 'Four Great Constants' mint silver coins, which is a profit of tens of millions. This guy dares to object so directly. If this word gets out, there will be a lot of people offended.  

    After glancing at the three of them, Zhenwucai muttered: "I would like the imperial court to cast silver coins, but how much silver does the imperial court have? All of them are cast by the capital. The cost of transporting and escorting the silver coins is high, and the silver coins are cast by the local government. I am worried about the silver coins.  The quality specifications cannot be guaranteed. Although 'Four Dahengs' is a private bank account, it is the property of the Qing royal family.

    I also admit that the right to mint the silver dollar was handed over to the "Four Dahengs" and was cast simultaneously in the capital, Guangzhou, Jiangning, and Taiyuan. This was not only to quickly popularize the silver dollar, but also to protect the royal family, lineage, and nobles.  Benefits, the enfeoffment of America, the enfeoffment of Africa, the wealth of all the royal families, princes and nobles were basically wiped out, and they even incurred a lot of debts.

    I must find a way to give appropriate compensation, otherwise they will slow down the pace of expansion of the country due to depletion of financial resources, which is not conducive to the Qing's overseas expansion. Furthermore, properly compensating them will also save them from causing trouble with me.  , exploiting the slave officials under my sect, affecting my new policy and rectification of officialdom.

    Having said that, you also know that more than half of the shares of ¡®Si Daheng¡¯ are in my hands. What is the difference between my internal funds and the treasury of the national treasury now?  All along, I have tried my best not to use treasury funds, but to pay additional expenses with internal funds.  In view of the above points, I decided to hand over the casting rights of silver coins to the "Four Great Constants". What do you think is wrong?  "

    Zhenwu has already said this, who has the guts to say something inappropriate?  Besides, what Zhenwu said is also true. The implementation of the New Deal, the abolition of waste and envy, and the rectification of officialdom will have a great impact on the royal family, princes, and nobles.  We do need to be reassured to prevent them from obstructing us secretly. Moreover, if it was cast by the imperial court, the silver would have to be shipped there. The cost is indeed not small. The 'Four Dahengs' are much more convenient. All four places are for trade.  prosperous.  Where there is a huge amount of silver in circulation, there is no need to expend manpower and financial resources to transport silver.

    Song Zhu didn't know how to advance or retreat. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is concerned about Zhou Xiang. I am ashamed of myself."

    Zhenwu nodded slightly.  Not much to say, the minting rights were handed over to the "Four Dahengs". He was planning to compensate a group of royal family members, princes and nobles, and then slowly take back the shares of the "Four Dahengs". The "Four Dahengs" would eventually be returned to the court.  , became a financial tool of the Qing Dynasty, which he dare not reveal prematurely now.

    Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zhenwucai said calmly: "Everyone, please kneel down."

    The three waiting people exited.  Zhenwu also stood up and moved around a little. Seeing that the sky outside had become overcast, he walked out of the room. When a group of eunuchs outside the palace saw him coming out, they immediately knelt on the ground. Zhenwu looked up at the sky and saw that it didn't look like anything.  It looks like it's raining.  Then he strolled along leisurely without saying a word.

    When Bao Fuquan saw this situation, he knew that his master must be bored and wanted to relax, so he stood up and told the little eunuch to prepare a toilet and follow him, and he followed at a trot.

    Zhenwu walked aimlessly along the way. The issue of silver coins did not cause any trouble. He was not worried. He was just a little confused about the fact that Kangxi had been in power for more than fifty years.  Why not issue silver coins?  Not to mention Kangxi, since the implementation of the "One Whip Law" in the Ming Dynasty, silver has been designated as legal tender. Why has no one proposed to mint silver coins after European silver coins flowed into China for more than a hundred years?

    Are you afraid of private counterfeiting?  This is unlikely.  If people want to imitate it, why has Spanish silver dollars flowed into the Qing Dynasty for so many years, but no one imitated it?  You must know that the Spanish silver dollar is already far higher than its own value, so no one has imitated it. It can be seen that the ability of private people to imitate is indeed limited. There is no need to worry about the Qing silver dollar. However, it is still necessary to introduce machine manufacturing as soon as possible. In this way, within a few decades  All without the worry of being imitated.

    Thinking of machines, Zhenwu couldn't help but sigh to himself. The Qing Dynasty really lacked Western talents. He only knew a rough principle of machinery such as steam engines and internal combustion engines. After all, this machine had to be introduced from the United Kingdom. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to establish a  To stay in an invincible position and maintain the current strong advantage, talent is the key.

    If the Qing Dynasty wanted to have a flourishing talent pool within a few decades, it would not only have to vigorously promote Western learning and increase enlightenment education in Western learning, but also vigorously introduce outstanding talents from Europe and send a large number of overseas students to study in Europe. However, in this way,  With the increase in the number of scholars who have opened their eyes, the collision between Chinese and Western cultures will become more intense, and the people's wisdom will be broadened, which is not a blessing for the court.

    Who cares, this situation is much better than the Qing Dynasty being ravaged by European Tsarist Russia. Besides, these royal family members of the Qing Dynasty now have many escape routes. They can go to Australia, America, and Africa. Why bother?  Now it is time to take it one step at a time. First, the Qing DynastyLet¡¯s talk about it when we become stronger.

    However, one thing to note is that with the development of the economy and the implementation of apportionment of the land into acres, it is certain that the population will increase dramatically. At the same time, the mobility of the population will also greatly increase, and the binding force of the gentry and clans will be greatly reduced. But now  Some customs and etiquette must not collapse, and there must not be a situation where everything is about money, moral decay, and lack of trust. If this situation occurs within a few decades, the Qing Dynasty will definitely be in danger. How can we avoid this situation?  Zhenwu couldn't help but frowned slightly.

    In the Qing Dynasty, the country was governed by etiquette. In fact, it was governed by Confucianism. Confucianism valued etiquette over law, righteousness over profit, advocated the distinction of social status, paid attention to the respect of superiors and inferiors, selected scholars through the imperial examination, pursued official advancement, and advocated the present world and the distant world.  Ghosts and gods, attaching importance to the present world, and focusing on the present are not conducive to the economic development of the Qing Dynasty, especially to the society after economic development. Once the Qing Dynasty becomes extremely rich in materials and the people have no faith, it will be the same.  in a disaster.

    It can be said that the Qing Dynasty is simply unable to cope with its sudden wealth. With its overseas expansion and colonization, the Qing Dynasty is likely to face an unexpected crisis in just ten years, or perhaps twenty or thirty years.  How can the Qing Dynasty not get lost in the sudden wealth?

    Confucianism certainly cannot be discarded. It can only be done in a planned, step-by-step and targeted manner to eliminate the bad and keep the good, or deliberately amplify the despised side of Confucianism. If the Confucian system collapses, it will be the real collapse of rituals and music. It cannot  Let the country of thousands of years of etiquette be ruined in your own hands.

    "These things need to be discussed by some knowledgeable and knowledgeable scholars who are not pedantic. For ideas to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, there must be a process of teaching. It will take at least one generation or even two generations to grow up before they can be completely changed. This matter must be prepared for a rainy day.

    Zhenwu walked along, thinking endlessly, and unknowingly he turned onto Changchunyuan West Road. Bao Fuquan, who was following behind, followed closely and said with a bow: "Your Majesty, those who leave the sign will be drafted."  The ladies have been placed in Ningchun Hall, Ruizhuyuan, Guanlan Pavilion, and Jifengxuan according to the decree, and the emperor has been sitting here for half a day."

    Zhenwu smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "I have told you that I want to personally evaluate the beautiful girls staying overnight. If you have free time today, go over and have a look." After a slight pause, he continued: "Ji Fengxuan is a good name.  Just go to Jifengxuan."

    Fuquan hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor has already traveled a long way. Do you want to take a private carriage?"

    Hearing these words, Zhenwu looked around and found that he had come to the west road unknowingly. He nodded immediately. When he saw his jaw, Bao Fuquan quickly raised his hand and called the toilet to come forward.

    Although Jifengxuan has a nice name, its location is not. It is the last scenic spot on Changchunyuan Middle Road. Nearby is a small lake with many white cranes, peacocks, bamboo chickens and other birds. The houses are relatively simple and furnished.  Naturally, it¡¯s just average.

    Since Zhenwu decreed that all the girls to be drafted with brands should stay in Ningchun Hall, Ruizhuyuan, Guanlan Pavilion, and Jifengxuan, waiting for the news of his personal assessment, a group of eunuchs who have been working hard to make money all day long  I made a detailed comparison of these four places, taking into account which place has the best scenery, which house is good, where Zhenwu has been before, what are the comments, Zhenwu's general route to come and other factors.  , and then the two places that are most likely to be tested by Zhenwu first and the ones that are easiest to be selected will be auctioned with clear prices.

    Whether it¡¯s a talent show or choosing a woman, it¡¯s just like going shopping to pick out clothes. The more you look at it, the more you¡¯ll get dazzled. The worst position is the last one. The first one is fresh and impressive, while the second one is a bit confusing.  I'm tired of aesthetics. I'm almost done with the third one. I looked at it in more detail and the chance of liking it is higher. The last one not only has to be compared with all the previous ones, but also the interest is not very high.

    Therefore, the first place in Ningchun Hall and the third place in Guanlan Pavilion are the best, and the worst is the last Jifengxuan. Not to mention that the various conditions of Jifengxuan are also the worst. The eunuchs have gone through detailed  After drawing the most authoritative conclusion, he naturally began to promote hot sales among the beautiful women. If you want to enter Ningchun Hall or Guanlan Pavilion, you can, clearly mark the price and get money. No money?  I'm sorry, go and stay at Jifengxuan.

    But none of the eunuchs would have thought that Zhenwu would think that Jifengxuan's name was good, so he would go to Jifengxuan first when he came. Bao Fuquan knew all about the money-making methods of his eunuchs.  Chu, however, he has always only accepted filial piety. As long as it does not violate Zhenwu's taboo, he will treat his words like gold.

    Hearing Zhenwu¡¯s words, Bao Fuquan secretly cursed in his heart, among the names of Changchun Garden, which one sounds bad and which one is a bad omen?  But in this episode, Fengxuan fell into his favour. The master¡¯s thoughts are really hard to figure out. From now on, you must be careful in everything and don¡¯t make your own decisions. These little eunuchs are probably going to lose money this time. These people have  Qian's beautiful girls are not easy to mess with, and I don't know what the situation of Jifengxuan's beautiful girls is like. If Zhenwu loses his interest, he will not be able to please her either.?Okay.
