Chapter 48: Turning against Tiangang!
At three quarters, the Beijing branch of Daming Bank opened its doors on time.
Wei Wenjiang, the first in line of general affairs envoy Si Tongzheng envoy, was personally welcomed in by He Yong.
After Wei Wenjiang walked into the Beijing branch, he asked his servants to drive the carriage to the bank, and he waited to exchange the banknotes.
Wei Wenjiang fully learned the lesson from yesterday, and this time he prepared a full three thousand taels of silver!
He wanted a one-shot. Exchange enough money for the next few months.
Unexpectedly, He Yong's first words made him confused.
"Master Wei, I'm sorry."
"Your Majesty ordered yesterday that from now on, each person can only change five hundred Guan notes per day."
"So today I can only exchange 500 Guan notes for you first. If you need it, please come back tomorrow.”
"What?!"
Wei Wenjiang was numb and worried: "How could this happen? Those people could change money at will yesterday!"
He Yong was still smiling on his face. : "This is your Majesty's yesterday The new order issued in the evening will be officially implemented today. "
"This is also to allow more people to exchange for the new Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Mr. Wei understands this."
" …”
Wei Wenjiang was very unwilling, but he could only grit his teeth and take the five hundred Ming Dynasty treasure notes and move the silver that had not been replaced back home.
Wei Wenjiang was really confused.
From the beginning, I resisted exchanging Da Ming Bao banknotes, then rushed to exchange Da Ming Bao banknotes, and finally felt angry and unwilling because I couldn't exchange for Da Ming Bao banknotes.
It only took a few days to complete these mental journeys.
After Wei Wenjiang walked out of the Beijing branch with a dark face, the official second in line walked into the Beijing branch happily.
He began to experience the same mental journey as Wei Wenjiang.
It was precisely because of Zhu Youtang's regulations that several brave and shrewd people also obtained some Ming Dynasty treasure notes.
After these brave people exchanged the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, they exchanged them at a high price for some officials who were eager to ask for the banknotes.
The people of Ming Dynasty also exploited the officials of Ming Dynasty.
……
Forbidden City.
Royal study room.
Wang Zhi hurriedly walked into the imperial study and found that the elder Liu Jian was discussing something with Zhu Youtang in the imperial study.
So Wang Zhi stood quietly aside, waiting for Zhu Youtang and Liu Jian to finish their discussion.
Zhu Youtang glanced at Wang Zhi and said nothing. He was listening to Liu Jian's report.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ying, the Minister of Punishment, died of illness in Beijing a few days ago."
"The posthumous title given to Zhang Ying by the Ministry of Rites after discussion is Zhuang Yi."
Zhu Youtang nodded. Nodding: "Yes, I'll give it to Prince Zhang Ying as his eunuch, so he can be buried alive."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Jian wrote it down and continued to report.
"Zhang Ying died of illness, and Ma Wensheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was beheaded. Now there are two more ministers."
"In my opinion, this post of Minister of the Ministry of War can be filled by Liu Daxia, the censor of Qiandu." . ”
“Liu Daxia has just introduced Qingxiu, but he is honest and easy, and his kindness is gratifying. ”
“He has also served as the chief of the Ministry of War’s official affairs department, a doctor, and the right governor of Guangdong Province. He has also dealt with the food and salary issues of the Xuanfu and has rich experience.”
"The post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can be held by Peng Shao, the right deputy governor of the capital."
"Peng Shao is upright, selfless, and helpful in administration."
"He has served as the head of the Ministry of Punishment, the deputy envoy of the Judgment Department of Shuzhou, the chief envoy of Zuobu in Guangdong Province, and the governor of Yingtian."
< br>"Peng Shao has mature experience and is prudent in handling affairs. He should be the best choice to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
Zhu Youtang listened and nodded.
Zhu Youtang didn’t know Peng Shao, but he was very familiar with Liu Daxia.
As mentioned before, Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Daxia are collectively called the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi".
Now Ma Wensheng has been conquered by Zhu You and the Tsang Yi tribe. Wang Shu is still serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but has not been approved to join the cabinet.
In addition to Liu Daxia, the three gentlemen of Hongzhi, and Zhu Youtang, we have them all.
Zhu Youtang's biggest problem now is that he has no close confidants in the court. Huai En, Wang Zhi, and Mou Bin all belong to the factory guard spy agency, and Gao Shun is the commander of the army.
His subordinates are all military generals and have no civil servants, so the appointment of officials in the court is really blind.
Zhu Youtang finally agreed to Liu Jian's proposal.
"Liu Daxia and Peng Shao? Okay, I'm sure."
Liu Jian took two steps forward: "Your Majesty, I think Liu Daxia can still join the cabinet..."
>
Zhu Youtang waved his hand, and Liu Jian closed his mouth knowingly.
"Okay, I think it is enough to have the four of you in the cabinet. There is no need to recommend others."
Liu Jian was helpless, his hope was dashed once again.
He could only accept the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Liu Ge, if you have nothing else to do, please retreat first."
"Yes. Your Majesty, I am leaving.”
After Liu Jian stepped back and left, Zhu Youtang looked at Wang Zhi.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wang Zhi walked a few steps quickly, came to stand in front of Zhu Youtang, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Back to your majesty, it's the Beijing branch. About About the new Ming Dynasty treasure banknote."
"Huh?"
Zhu Youtang cheered up a little.
"After the opening of the Beijing branch today, in addition to officials in the capital, several people also exchanged their treasure banknotes."
"Then these people exchanged their treasure banknotes for twice the actual face value. The banknotes were sold to officials and they made a profit from it. "
"Your Majesty, do you think we should stop this trend?"
Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.
“Hahaha, okay, it’s really exciting!”
"I didn't expect that the newly issued Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes would be recognized by the people so quickly."
"Why should we stop such a good thing?"
"The officials of the Ming Dynasty have been exploiting the people for a long time. Now let the people exploit the officials of Ming Dynasty Member, what's wrong?"
"You just have to be careful and don't let the wealthy businessmen in the capital take advantage of it and make profits from it."
"Yes, it's true. Understand.”
Zhu Youtang waved his hand, and Wang Zhi quietly left.
……
Another day.
After waiting in line for three hours, the Ming Dynasty banknotes at the Beijing branch were once again exchanged.
Yu Zhen, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was completely devastated after not receiving any treasure for three days in a row!
He walked out of the Beijing branch, cursing.
"Why are you so unlucky! The treasure notes have been exchanged by other people again!"
"There are only 50,000 guan notes in a day. How can other people get so much money? Every time Exchange for five hundred coins What’s the limit? ”
“What will the whole family eat if we can’t change it anymore?”
Yu Zhen is really anxious, he can’t change it for many days The treasure money made him panic.
At this time, a commoner wearing a short jacket came to him and lowered his voice: "My lord, do you want to exchange Hongzhi banknotes?"
Because the new Ming Dynasty banknotes are different from the original Ming Dynasty banknotes. The biggest difference in the treasure banknotes is that the era name on it was changed from Hongwu to Hongzhi.
So the people gradually called the new Ming Dynasty Baochao Hongzhi Baochao to distinguish it from the previous Ming Dynasty Baochao.
Yu Zhen frowned and nodded: "Yes, so what?"
The man showed a mysterious smile: "If you want to exchange Hongzhi treasure notes, please Come with me and you will be satisfied.”
After saying that, the man walked to an alley next to him.
Yu Zhen was confused, but he really had no other way.
So he took his servants and followed him with hesitation.
