After pondering for a long time, Huang Ruliang did not dare to agree. Neither he nor Zhang Huaichang could make the decision. The cabinet had to study it collectively before making a decision.
This involves the most important expenditure of the court in the next ten years. It is too large and affects many interests, so we have to be cautious.
However, he really couldn't bear this opportunity and nodded: "Ziying, I have no opinion on this matter, but it still needs to be decided by the cabinet. But I will make suggestions to Ye Xiang and the others. By then, what you said may be fulfilled?"
"Of course." Feng Ziying had already communicated with Shanshan businessmen in letters before.
Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants are also very aware of the current predicament of the court. Once the court loses to Nanjing, the power of Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants will definitely be completely suppressed by those merchants from Longyou, Dongting, and Huizhou. This is absolutely unacceptable to them, so even if they go out
On this point, they must also fully support the imperial court.
One or two million taels of silver is not a problem for merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi. It is also deposited in Haitong Bank. If you lend it to the court, you can get greater benefit protection. Why not?
But now Shanshan and Shaanxi businessmen are really not short of money. They can still get it, not to mention one or two million taels, but three to five million vehicles, or even more.
The old wealth accumulated over hundreds of years in Shanxi and Shaanxi is no worse than that of Jiangnan merchants. The silver in the silver cellar can scare people to death.
Feng Ziying knows this better than anyone else. When they established Haitong Bank, this group of businessmen made a mistake and didn't take out much, but now it's too late to regret it.
"Okay." Huang Ruliang gritted his teeth and nodded, "I will do my best to facilitate this matter. I've decided to borrow two million taels of silver. Ziying, if you have any other methods, tell them together. I will think about it carefully today, and then
No matter how difficult or dangerous the conditions are, we can just talk about them."
"Sir, how can you be so exaggerated? What you said is like asking you to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire." Feng Ziying smiled, "I have said it before, Xishan Kiln, if you move it at the right time, there will naturally be people who are willing to do it.
Come and donate it voluntarily. After ten or twenty years of digging for nothing, the court has not received a penny, so shouldn’t it be replenished? It’s okay if you don’t replenish it, but should it be resold? This shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Huang Ruliang's expression changed. This was because he wanted to disturb the roots of many wealthy families in the capital city. Feng Ziying was really ruthless and vicious.
Feng Ziying could guess Huang Ruliang's thoughts and smiled: "Mingqi Gong, if you feel that the court's action will hinder the Qing Dynasty discussion, or are afraid of causing unnecessary disputes, how about authorizing our Shuntian Prefecture to handle it? As long as the Ministry of Industry authorizes it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will
Cooperate, our Shuntian Mansion will be the main one. I, Feng Ziying, don’t have any other abilities, but I still have this strong point. I’m not afraid of offending others, how about that?”
Huang Ruliang glared at Feng Ziying bitterly, could the court open this hole? This guy is trying to force the palace...
If we really want to leave all this kind of matter to Shuntian Mansion, those newspapers don't know how to hype it up, so where is the majesty of the imperial court?
"Okay, don't make any noise there. This is a serious matter and the court has its own sense of proportion." Huang Ruliang responded.
"This is such a big matter, Ming Qi Gong. In my opinion, this is a good time to take action. Aren't the people from the Criminal Department jealous of the Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are investigating and punishing the rebel families? Xishan Kiln, When I hand it over to them, there are still many intertwining links between the two. It is just a good time to clean up these messy things in the capital and teach a lot of people a lesson..."
Feng Ziying shook her head repeatedly, "Don't be afraid of people's unrest. I am the Prime Minister of Shuntian. I know the situation below. The people's hearts are not on their side. The biggest wish of the people in Gyeonggi now is to live peacefully and have enough food this winter and next spring." Belly, cotton-padded clothes on the body, as long as these two things are guaranteed, everything anyone wants to do will be in vain!"
Huang Ruliang glanced at Zhang Huaichang, who had remained silent, and felt a little moved.
What Feng Ziying said is quite reasonable. Most of the forces behind Xishan Kiln were dominated by Wu Xun, and Wu Xun was also the group that was most involved in the Nanjing puppet dynasty this time, such as Niu Wang Jia Shi and the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Many of the two princes have connections with the Xuanfu Army, the Datong Army, the Denglai Army and the Huaiyang Army. It is the right time to take this opportunity to clean up.
"Brother Huaichang, what's your opinion?" Huang Ruliang was moved and wanted to win a few more allies.
To convince the cabinet ministers, we have to win over the people from Beidi.
The Minister of Justice is Liu Yizhen, so Huang Ruliang is confident. The Minister of Civil Affairs, Gao Panlong, is also a noble man and a scholar from Jiangnan, so he can be easily persuaded. If Zhang Huaichang also supports it, Huang Ruliang will be more confident.
"With money and food in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the imperial court will not panic." Zhang Huaichang pondered for a moment, "This winter and next spring, there will definitely be a large number of refugees in the north, and the prefectures around the capital will probably have a hard time, especially when faced with the arrival of refugees from Shanxi, the Ministry of Household Affairs will You have to have enough money and food to deal with it."
He didn't say it clearly, but the implication was very obvious. Huang Ru felt certain in his conscience and nodded: "Okay, I understand this matter, and what's more, Ziying, today you will shake the bezoars in your belly." Come out? Let us see the skills that all the ministers in the cabinet are full of praise for."
Gu Ning
"Mingqi Gong has been praised a lot. I do still have some skills, but I'm not sure at the moment. It will have to wait for a while. But don't worry, you will get something after all, big or small." Feng Ziying said with certainty.
"How long do you have to wait? How much is the big one and how small is the small one?" Huang Ruliang was not so easily fooled by Feng Ziying.
"Well, January or February, there is no cap for the big ones, but for the lower ones, you can get two to three million taels of silver." Feng Ziying grinned.
"Seriously?" Huang Ruliang and Zhang Huaichang both cheered up. This guy is really capable. Two to three million taels of silver came out of his mouth as if they were just dirt. You can get as much as you want.
"How dare I lie in front of you two adults?" Feng Ziying said seriously.
"Okay, I believe what you said." Huang Ruliang breathed a sigh of relief and made careful calculations in his heart. If this was the case, the pressure on the household department would be reduced a lot. He just gave a discount and calculated it as 100 yuan. If everything is possible, it can be sustained.
Feng Ziying was finally able to escape from the Ministry of War. This time, he was stopped by these two people for so long. He did many things that had nothing to do with his job as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. He was born with a hard life.
After Feng Ziying left, Huang Ruliang discussed with Zhang Huaichang.
"Tomorrow, Feng Ziying is really a God of Wealth. You've squeezed a lot out of him by forcing him." If Zhang Huaichang had any deeper meaning, "Your right minister in the household department can definitely let him do it."
Huang Ruliang said calmly: "What is there to squeeze out? Brother Huaichang, don't you understand that even without my intervention, he would have taken the initiative to show these things. The Feng family's foundation is in the imperial court. If the imperial court fails, the Feng family will
It's over, so he must spare no effort, so I never doubt this."
"Yes, which one of us is not in the imperial court at all?" Zhang Huaichang said leisurely: "If the Nanjing puppet government really wants to succeed, will there be a stage for us people? Anyway, I am not willing to step down in such a dejected manner.
Yes, until the Jurchens in Jianzhou are destroyed, I will not feel at ease for a day!"
Zhang Huaichang is from Liaodong. What he never forgets is to regain the entire territory of the former Ming Dynasty Nurgandusi and bring the entire Mongolian Jurchen under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. Even Korea and Japan should be crawling at the feet of the Zhou Dynasty. Where can it be like now?
How dare you show your teeth in such a small surrounding area.
Huang Ruliang knew these northern people very well. The invasion from the northern nomads always threatened the security of their hometown, but people from the south of the Yangtze River like them did not have such a deep feeling.
The military town's investment has always been unswerving, which is also difficult for them, Jiangnan scholars, to accept.
Over the years, conflicts between the two sides have continued, and they can only constantly compromise and seek perfection.
However, for now, everyone is unprecedentedly consistent in their attitude towards the Nanjing puppet dynasty.
The Jiangnan scholars in the DPRK knew that they had no share in the position there. This was related to their personal and family interests and could never be compromised. However, the Northern scholars even believed that the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty had gained power and the interests of the North must be ignored. This must not be done.
Accept it, so on this point we are like-minded and share the same hatred as our enemies.
Now that he had come to Liubu, Feng Ziying simply stopped going home and went to the staff department again.
With Xia Jiayu's help, the efficiency of the bureaucracy has become much higher. The resignation procedures for Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Di went very quickly and are expected to be completed within two or three days, which is beyond Feng Ziying's imagination.
He thought it would be at least ten days and a half. It seemed that the efficiency of the Zhou court was not that it could not be improved, but that it depended on who was doing what.
There are vacancies in Dacheng and Dong'an counties, but there are still some troubles with several other candidates that I want to adjust.
Although he, Zhang Jingqiu, and Qiao Yingjia have also reported it, the procedures for the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not that simple. They need to investigate and verify, and they will not just listen to their own words.
But even so, Feng Ziying was satisfied.
Dacheng and Dong'an counties will be arranged, and it doesn't matter if the other county waits a little. He believes that he raised the issue of three prefectures and counties, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will give him an explanation at least, and adjust one or two county candidates.
no problem.
But the Metropolitan Procuratorate still has to keep an eye on it and cannot ignore it. There are a lot of people in this group, but they are not angry when doing serious things. They are very good at talking and criticizing each other. Feng Ziying is even worried about Fang Youdu.
The trend of development in this direction needs to be constantly pursued.
This matter was handed over to Fang Youdu, and he was asked to go frequently to several imperial censors, deputy censors of the capital, and censors of the capital, shouting and reminding him, and from time to time he would complain and make suggestions.
Some functions can also help this group of people follow their own intentions as soon as possible. This is because there are people in the court who want to be officials, and it is also the purpose of Feng Ziying in keeping Fang Youdu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
