Chapter 253: The Order of Reminder (Part 1)
On July 17, Qin Hao's "Memorial of Yi Hong, Benevolence, Filial Piety and Public"
In the blink of an eye, the memorial spread throughout the court and the country.
Fang Xin reviewed "I know" and returned his memorial to the cabinet
On July 20th, Qin Haozhong stepped forward again, Fang Xin retreated again
Qin Haozhong did not come immediately for the third time. After pondering for several days, he finally understood the emperor's meaning. He mobilized the government and the government to jointly sign the cabinet, and sent more than a thousand officials from all over the world to join in the fold.
Almost at the same time, the five major news newspapers began to be published continuously, with a fierce layout. For a time, it seemed that millions of scholars in the world were all strongly supported, echoing the officials in the court.
For a time, Luoyang paper is expensive. By the way, vested interests are hated, and the same is true for nobles, especially the literati-official class, who was originally arrogant, were resentful about this.
At the end of July, there were more than 300 scholars and scholars nationwide, and they published articles in newspapers to support the Prime Minister's Reform Law.
On August 11, the juren Shi Yunli wrote "On the Noble Nobleness" and pointed the spear directly at the nobles, regarded the nobles as sinners throughout the ages, and demanded that the emperor have all the privileges of the nobles.
On August 21, news published illegal matters of nobles, which almost made public opinion one-sided. A large number of businessmen, landlords, and even made some civilians make noises.
After a brief silence, the nobles immediately hired gunmen to fight back, and newspapers were also published one by one, which quickly deteriorated and exaggerated the relationship between the two camps.
On August 29, the juren Shi Yunli was attacked by a thug. Fortunately, someone saved him. He reported to the government in anger and hinted in the news that this was a noble who sent people to threaten his life. A large number of juren and scholars were sad and foxes were sad. They joined together in anger. The pen was punished and the public opinion and form suddenly became extremely hot, almost like an explosive barrel.
On September 1st, thousands of scholars and scholars jointly wrote a letter
On September 4, Fang Xin issued a metaphor, saying that a ruling must be made, and no further discussion must be discussed.
On September 5, Fang Xin summoned the cabinet
On September 6, Fang Xin privately summoned Prime Minister Qin Haozhong
"Prime Minister Qin, please come in!" the eunuch said respectfully.
Qin Haozhong never met with the eunuch. He just nodded slightly and followed the eunuch into the inner hall.
But he saw the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards outside the hall standing with breath and waiting for a while. The guards were tight and he went in. Qin Haozhong saw Fang Xin concentrating on the memorial on the desk at a glance.
Qin Haozhong was about to kneel down to salute, Fang Xin put down a memorial, waved his hand and said, "Get up, there is no need to salute, sir, please sit down, let me finish these and talk to you before you can."
Qin Haozhong thanked him and sat down, but his mood was different this time.
The situation is in full swing now, and the entire scholar-official class has been involved.
At this time, it was natural to implement the "recommendation order" because the nobles were facing pressure from the entire literati class
The nobles rebelled because of this, and they would only end up dead and destruction. After all, the army was still under the control of the emperor. Although for two hundred years, the nobles and scholars and officials had infiltrated in a mixed manner, they would not be able to do anything at this time.
Thinking of it, I was very frightened. This is the emperor's mind.
Before he knew it, Fang Xin finished today's memorial and breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you think about the matter of unifying currency just now?"
Qin Haozhong could not have thought of the emperor asking about this, but this was also a major event for the country. He thought for a while and said, "Emperor, because he had used a casting machine, the copper coins and silver balls have been standardized. However, each province will start molding and casting on its own, and each will do its own thing. It is better to be unified and taken to the court's Ministry of Revenue."
Fang Xin nodded silently and asked again: "How much is coal, steel, copper and silver mineral today?"
"When I returned to the emperor, coal mines have been opened in all places to supply the world. However, the north and south are unbalanced, but there is a little coal in the south. There are many workshops, factories and steam engines used, and they have to be transported. Areas with waterways can be accessed are still acceptable, but there is no waterway can be accessed, but it is also difficult!"
It should be pointed out in particular that energy transportation has greatly restricted the development of various provinces
"The steel production, according to statistics from the Ministry of Revenue, produces 150,000 tons of iron and 30,000 tons of steel per year." Qin Haozhong replied: "As for copper, the Ministry of Revenue has established 17 mining plants, and has produced 6 billion copper coins per year, which can meet the needs of the people."
"How many more people's money is converted into copper?"
In ancient times, the quality of copper coins was poor and the people resisted. The quality of copper coins was good, and the people changed the copper ware to make profits. This was a difficult problem for the courts of all dynasties.
"When I go back to the emperor, there is a lot of copper production in the past years. Copper is circulating in the market, and the price has been reduced. There are fewer things in the world now. This is what I can do in the past dynasties! "
"Where is gold and silver?" Fang Xin asked
"Emperor, although the output of gold and silver has increased significantly over the years compared with the previous dynasty, there has been a silver desolation among the people. The silver round casting is only 2 million per year, which is far from enough for use."
"Yeah, I understand!" Fang Xin said in contemplation. With the improvement of a series of technologies, copper and iron can still meet the needs, but if gold and silver are hard currency, they will become increasingly poor.
If the environment in the previous dynasty was OK, after all, the private copper coins could meet the needs, but with the development of capital, a large amount of money was exchanged, and the use of copper coins was absolutely insufficient, and the demand for gold and silver was growing.
In fact, paper money has appeared among the people, and these are the silver notes of various money houses. In order to deal with this, Fang Xin thought about it carefully and knew that this matter could not be implemented now. He said: "This matter is important, but it is not a matter of time and day. Let's discuss it again - your memorandum has already discussed it. Do you have any other opinions?"
"When I go back to the emperor, the memorial was written by the old minister. After discussion in the cabinet, what I want to say is complete. Please let the emperor see it clearly!" Qin Haozhong replied.
"That's good... This matter is important, and I can't hold on to it alone. I must work with the tutor and the cabinet. I hope for you!" Fang Xin said this, but he didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes were quiet.
After a while, he said again: "Sir, do you know that I have only approved it until now on July 17th?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, so you should have discussed it more!" Qin Haozhong said.
"You are cherishing me, but you are the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister Yin and Yang. I cannot help but tell you that over the past few days, I have conducted an investigation of military generals from all over the country. I know who should advance and who should retreat. I will issue orders in batches tomorrow. I will not say anything else. I will adjust the twelve guards. I just issued an order to be the commander of the third-rank guard minister. Do you think that the candidates for the Nine Gate Admiral and the three major camps still need to be moved?"
As soon as this passage was released, Qin Haozhong immediately felt cold sweat. Since the emperor was so prepared that he adjusted the military of the imperial capital step by step, he couldn't help but say every word: "Cai Tongcui, the admiral of the Nine Gate, has always been loyal to the emperor and has no contact with the princes, so he can still trust it."
"As for the three camps, Tian Ling, Fang Yan, and Fang Jinyu, according to the old minister, they wait and see, but if they plot to rebel, they will never dare. After all, the emperor has no morals. The three camps of the emperor are the main force of the court, and they are all military households of all dynasties and will not follow."
"Well... sir makes it clear. Then I'll be relieved!" Although Fang Xin had plans, he would not say it completely. Seeing him saying this, he smiled, took out the memorial, took out the red pen, and commented: "Authentication!"
Just these two words immediately set the world down. Fang Xin said, "Take the memorial and the cabinet will immediately draw an edict. After reading it, I will issue an imperial edict to show the world!"
"Long live my emperor!" Qin Haozhong prostrated and knelt down: "Old minister obeys the order!"
Qin Haozhong took the note and walked down quickly. Fang Xin started and thought intently. Why did he delay this time until now? Of course, it was a military plan, but in fact, it was also forcing the scholars and officials to express their opinions.
If this edict was issued when the scholar-officials did not draw a clear line with the nobles, it would be foolish. Fang Xin alone took responsibility. In this case, the scholar-officials jumped out and the emperor became dark.
The aristocratic class is economically strong, but has been restricted to directly control the army and administration.
Therefore, as long as the emperor and the literati really join forces and there is no way out for each other, the nobles will still not be able to resist the general trend. If there is, they will be a mantis armed mantis will be a chariot
But Fang Xin's meaning is not simply to weaken the aristocratic class
In fact, he was considering energy migration
Six hundred industries have become six thousand industries. Not to mention anything else, just tax collection, the court can make a profit? In a few years, at least hundreds of millions of silver dollars will be there. That’s fine. The industry has been divided and six thousand medium-sized industrial companies have been created. It’s finally connected with ordinary small workshops and factories, and the energy has been moved. This migration is the real way to promote society. I wonder how many ordinary workers can be accommodated to work?
And invisibly, many industries, technologies, personnel, and funds began to flow to the middle and lower classes of society
Not only the children of aristocrats, but in society, all people with industries must enjoy this treatment. With so many titles, the title will be worthless. Why do you have to try your best to find a way to cut it?
However, we must seize this opportunity. When the division is successful and the division can be successfully completed, civilians will be granted according to their property.
In the hall of convention, there was nothing but silence, only Fang Xin thought about it
Looking at the glass, it was autumn rain again, hitting the glass, and the water droplets flowed down. It was so cold that it was so cold that it was... Fang Xin was a little confused. He was stunned for a while before laughing.
The imperial edict was drafted in the cabinet (of course Fang Xin could also write it by hand). How to write the imperial edict was actually ready, and I waited for the emperor to approve it. Therefore, after a moment, I heard footsteps.
"Emperor, I am serving you." Not only Qin Haozhong, but all the ministers in the cabinet came.
A volume of imperial edict was given, Fang sent a letter, read it carefully, nodded, and wrote two words at the end: Impress this!
This means that the emperor agrees, and then ordered him to say: "Come and take the jade seal!"
This matter is important, and the imperial seal must be used. A special eunuch came forward and asked for the jade seal. Fang Xin took it, put it on, and covered it upright.
Chapter completed!
