Chapter 2034, still have to rely on the emperor to be a peacemaker
"Tsk, tsk, look at them, I'm in a particularly good mood today."
Han Wen, Zhong Fan, Li Kun and other officials from the practical group gathered together. Looking at the poor and destitute Liang Chu, Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and others, they couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, I guess no one will say they want to suppress Xinxue and nationalize oil, gold, etc. now, right?"
Zhong Fan also laughed.
This time, there was no major dispute with them in the court. They just used capital to directly drain the salary of these people.
Aren't they all clamoring to suppress the new students? That's fine. Then let the new students work hard for you, work, watch your factories, and paralyze your trading houses and so on.
Without these newly acquired talents, if there is a problem with the machine, who will fix it for you? Who will manage your firm and factory?
"Now when I have time to think about these things, I'm thinking about raising money. If they can't raise enough money, their last few factories and workshops will be gone."
"Haha~"
When everyone around him heard this, everyone couldn't help laughing happily.
I get angry when I see these old-school officials. They are clearly enjoying the fruits and dividends of capitalism, colonialism, and the industrial revolution, but they still want to smash the big pot of the new era. This is not like being abandoned by the times.
Even though the conservative officials now have the upper hand in the government and the public, outside the government and the public, the power of the conservative faction is simply insignificant, far less than that of the emerging bourgeoisie.
When Liang Chu, Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and others heard the laughter of Han Wen and others, they all looked over and remained silent with gloomy faces.
Soon it was time for morning service.
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
As the eunuch's sharp voice echoed through the Jinluan Palace, ministers soon stood up.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Liu Jin, the former chief minister of the cabinet, for practicing favoritism and malpractice, abusing his power, abusing power for personal gain, engaging in corruption and accepting bribes, blocking speech, forming cliques for personal gain, and plotting evil..."
Some conservative ministers seemed to be so angry that they kept putting hats on Liu Jin's head one after another. If he did it casually, it would be enough to make Liu Jin lose his head.
If this evil plot turns out to be true, it will be enough to kill the nine tribes.
"..."
After hearing this man's words, Emperor Hongzhi was speechless. The atmosphere in the court had really changed. It was no longer the same as before, with endless criticism, quarrels, and defenses. He no longer had the intention to deal with national affairs.
Liu Jin, the former chief minister of the cabinet, was impeached in this way, let alone other ministers.
"It seems that this time they have been driven into a panic. Now it is the rabbit that is so anxious that it bites people indiscriminately."
Emperor Hongzhi began to think in his heart.
Emperor Hongzhi also knew everything about what was going on outside the government and the public, and knew that these conservative officials were having a very hard time.
The emerging capitalists took their salary from under the cauldron and directly wiped out all their wool. Now they are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and they bite people indiscriminately.
If this continues, it will not work. It will not be of any benefit to the court or the country.
With all these criticisms, impeachments, and things going on every day, that minister still has the heart to do something?
"That's pretty much it. Just give them some lessons."
In his heart, Emperor Hongzhi was also prepared to make peace with the old people and leave some wealth to these old-school officials. If this was really done all at once, it would really be endless.
"I impeach Wang Shouren, the former chief minister of the cabinet, for practicing favoritism, taking bribes and perverting the law, colluding with cronies, plotting evil, blocking the way of speech, deceiving the saints, and using power for personal gain..."
As soon as one minister finished speaking, another minister stood up to impeach Wang Shouren, which immediately left people speechless for a while.
"Your Majesty, the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty is operating illegally and is seeking to seize other people's property through loans. I request your Majesty to seal up the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty!"
Some ministers targeted the First Bank of Ming Dynasty.
"..."
Emperor Hongzhi was even more speechless, "Ma Dan, are you blind or intentional? Don't you know this is my property?"
They are still operating illegally. Are they begging you for a loan, or are they forcing you to get a loan?
It’s not because you don’t know how high the sky is and insist on expanding loans wantonly. If you can’t get the loan, blame Daming First Bank.
You must have this kind of risk awareness when taking out a loan. Bank loans are very comfortable to use, but repaying the loan is also a painful thing, especially when the loan is not repaid, the pain is unlimited.
We had been noisy in this environment for two or three hours in the morning.
After the morning court, as usual, Emperor Hongzhi summoned important ministers to his Shangshu room to continue a small meeting.
"My dear friends~"
"I also know the matter. Let's end this matter here. I will notify the First Bank of Ming Dynasty to continue to provide you with loans, and I will not urge you to repay the money for the time being."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the listless and frowning Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Mao Ji and others, and said after thinking for a while.
"real?"
When Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu and others heard this, they stood up excitedly.
Nowadays, everyone is worried about repaying bank loans. Whether they can keep the last bit of property at home depends on the bank.
Now that Emperor Hongzhi has spoken, all problems are no longer a problem.
"Hmm~"
"You are all the pillars of the country and are connected with the country of the Ming Dynasty. How can you be so sad over such a trivial matter?"
"Look at the current ruling and opposition parties. They are noisy every day, and impeachments come and go. Is there anything like it?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and at the same time the meaning of his words was made clear enough.
That means I can let you go, but there are conditions and prerequisites.
That is, you will do things honestly from now on, and don’t impeach me again. I will impeach you and make troubles that affect the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
It's so noisy that no important national affairs can be accomplished, and they are all fighting for power and gain.
Right now, this winter is very cold. The northern grassland provinces, northwest provinces, Central Asia Province, Western Region Province, and Liaodong Province have all suffered disasters. The life of the grassland herdsmen is difficult. Telegrams are being sent one after another, asking the imperial court for this.
While mobilizing food and grass support.
However, no minister mentioned this matter in the morning, which made Emperor Hongzhi extremely dissatisfied.
No matter how noisy, noisy, noisy, this important national matter must still be handled well.
If it hadn't been for the development of telegraphs and the power of factory guards, Emperor Hongzhi might not have known about the severe snowstorms in several northern provinces.
The farmers in these provinces do not have any problems. Every household has endless food. The most critical thing is the herdsmen. A large number of cattle and sheep have been frozen to death. Moreover, the heavy snowstorm has blocked the transportation roads, making it impossible to transport grain and grass.
Every winter, snow disasters were something that worried Emperor Hongzhi because the herdsmen on the grasslands were very likely to suffer heavy losses.
If a large number of cattle and sheep are frozen to death, it will take a long time to breed again.
"Yes, yes~"
"What your Majesty said is true, I am ashamed!"
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he immediately understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant.
This can save some of the family's property, so he is willing to do anything, let alone make peace with the practical group, there is no problem even if he is a brother-in-law.
"The Son of Heaven and the Holy Ming!"
Liang Chu also shouted excitedly, and he was already happy in his heart. The factory at home could finally be saved, so that everything would not be lost, and he could finally keep some wealth.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Upon hearing this, Han Wen, Zhong Fan, Li Kun and other practical officials understood the meaning and purpose of Emperor Hongzhi.
"Oh, the emperor is really kind!"
Han Wen sighed in his heart, but this time he let these conservative officials go, and he didn't know if they would restrain themselves and change.
If you continue to think about suppressing new students or planning something from now on, it won't be that easy to control them again.
After this incident, they will definitely not take out loans easily, but will take their time, which means that it will not be so easy to use this method to rectify them.
But since it was Emperor Hongzhi who spoke, the matter ended there.
However, we are not afraid that these old-school officials will make any more troubles. The power of the capitalists in Ming Dynasty has been unprecedentedly powerful. As long as these old-school officials still have industries, this is their destiny, and they can find solutions at any time.
Hold them tight.
I'm just afraid that they have no life gate and it's hard to control them.
Thinking of this, Han Wen immediately felt Emperor Hongzhi's intention. Now he would let them go, but at the same time, he would be keeping their lives in hand.
From now on, if these old-school officials still dare to do this, they can be manipulated at any time.
If these old-school officials are really forced to have no way out and all their property is wiped out, it will be the same as today's court. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. It is estimated that they will be helpless by then.
Endless impeachment, criticism and so on.
After all, you can't push the rabbit into panic. The emperor also needs to use balance.
