This should be Zhao Zhen's favorite form of court discussion.
The development of the entire court was exactly as Xi'er and he said, almost as planned by Xi'er...
Being reserved, Zhao Zhen had to put on a rather puzzled look, and was even a little surprised when he saw the new coins. What Xi'er said was true, if he was a little careless, something might happen to the court again.
Difficulties have always been caused by ministers and servants. At least Zhao Zhen has never made his ministers embarrassed since he came into power.
He would always put himself in his ministers' shoes and worry about the country and the dynasty. Zhao Zhen did not want to embarrass others. As a result, he would be embarrassed more often.
Xi'er's doing this... is not considered to be a embarrassment to the ministers. As long as there is no idea of exchanging new coins as soon as possible, there will be no embarrassment on the issue of whether to build a new weapons supervisor.
Even if new coins are not released, the coins currently in circulation can still be used...
People all have the concept of good things. When facing beautiful things, they will inevitably have the idea of owning them.
Everyone agrees on the prospect of good money driving out bad money.
But the preparations for the relocation of the Ordnance Supervisor... should be left to the princes. At this time, it cannot be said that we can directly prepare for the establishment of the Money Supervisor. Even if there are people who are really shameless to that extent, they still cannot do it in the court.
What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince can completely confuse the two, and indeed he does.
No one knows whether this is the same thing or not. Everything is said by His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you ask Su Song and Su Zirong, they will probably give the same answer.
"Your Highness, please make a small quantity and implement it gradually!"
Fu Bi knew very well why the court, which had been so heated just now, suddenly became cold.
He also felt that the implementation of the new currency could change the chaotic currency status of the country. The problem is to build and relocate the weapons inspection... Look at the court's inventory, let's forget it, the current court simply does not have the financial resources.
Thinking of this, Fu Bi started to blame the officials again. What a great start for the Qingli Year. Fan Xianggong endured the insults of the world and dedicated himself to serving the country, but he ended up being homeless even in his old age...
If the officials had been able to stick to the New Deal as before, the court would never be in such a predicament now.
Thinking of this, Fu Bi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhen...
Hmm? Is it possible that the secret was exposed? It shouldn’t be? Although he knew the result, Zhao Zhen still felt that the novelty of the process was real.
But why is Fu Yanguo a little dissatisfied?
Fu Bi was quite fair and honest. No matter what he said, he was at least really thinking about the country. He also tried his best to be a qualified paper framer.
Firearms, armor...and so on.
Di Qing understood the situation of the guard camp. If it had not been relocated, given the current situation of the guard camp, not to mention the Imperial Forbidden Army, even the Western Army would have had to wait ten or eight years.
Di Qing only had gunpowder bullets and armor in his mind. He didn't wonder whether Fu Bi's small-scale production and gradual implementation meant armaments or new coins...
Fu Bi himself couldn't tell which one he was referring to, maybe they were both.
It's almost there, it should be almost there. You need to control the heat, and going too far is not enough. Zhao Xi didn't want to raise himself too high, just a little more height would be enough.
"Your Majesty, dear ministers and gentlemen, Xi believes that the relocation of the weapons supervisor can be done without spending money and food on the court..."
"Your Highness, armament is an important matter for the military and state. Don't pretend to be a merchant!"
Wen Yanbo never spoke, because of the issue of his position. After all, he was the envoy of the Privy Council, and when it came to armaments, he should stand on the position of His Royal Highness, but he was also a scholar and did not want to contradict the princes in the court.
But when Zhao Xi said: The court does not need to spend money and food, he had to remain silent.
It is understandable that His Highness the Prince makes good use of his merchant trip. After all, everyone benefits. The problem is that this is armaments. Merchants have been treacherous since ancient times. How can we send military armaments to merchants?
Uh... Zhao Xi was also stunned when Wen Yanbo robbed him of the opportunity. How did this old boy know that he was going to use his business trip?
No, that's right. Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed. After Wen Yanbo said this, everyone probably thought about what he would do.
That's right. Let's not talk about those things in childhood. Let's talk about my southern expedition. One by one, it seems that they are all part of the businessman's business.
"Wen Xiang, Xi is the prince, and he would not dare to leave the important affairs of the country to the hands of merchants. This involves merchants, and ultimately the Ordnance Supervisor and the Mint have nothing to do with merchants."
"The imperial court has insufficient treasury to support the weapons supervision and construction preparations. This is what everyone said, and it is also true. The current plan is to borrow money and food from merchants to prepare for the construction, not to let the merchants get involved in the production of weapons."
These are two concepts. Investment can be repaid, and it can also be exchanged for other things. It does not necessarily require a share.
"Your Highness, this is no different from the imperial court's preparations. They are all done by Yin and Mao. How is this different from the imperial court's borrowing money?"
This is a polite remark. You can just say it directly: You are the only one who is smart. You just changed the name and the essence does not change!
"No! The Armory Supervisor is now located in the inner city of Bianliang. It is well known that it is not easy to live in the capital. The imperial court can repay the merchants at the location of the Armory Supervision. In this way, the construction of the Military Supervision can be completed without increasing the expenditure of the court.
…”
The steps involved in this operation should be easy to understand.
But after Zhao Xi finished speaking, he found that all the courtiers were looking at him as if they were pregnant.
What do you mean? This look is obviously not admiration, but more like looking at a fool.
Everyone in the court knows the location of the Armory Supervisor, regardless of the size of the place. No matter how difficult it is to live in the capital, who would choose to live in a house like the Armory Supervisor's workshop?
Your Highness, can you really imagine that all merchants are fools?
With the money spent to build the Ordnance Prison, even if it is difficult to live in Bianliang, you can buy a lot of places to live.
Well, Zhao Xi had to admit that he still had a high opinion of the elites of this era. He couldn't judge clearly. Sometimes he felt that he didn't understand very simple truths, almost common sense issues.
But sometimes he feels that even he has to change his mind a few times, but others understand very well.
"Your Highness, do you think it's possible?"
"feasible!"
"The imperial court allows His Highness to organize the relocation and construction of the Armory Supervisor, but the imperial court will not pay money or food. It will only sell the current location of the Armory Supervision. Your Highness, veteran, do you understand?"
"Indeed!"
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I think you can allow your highness to handle this matter!"
Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Zeng Gongliang were still stunned. Someone was already fighting with Zhao Xi.
Why does this matter... feel so evil? I can't explain it, but it's always right to think more about anything His Highness is doing.
Look at the Gao and Cao families, including the Han, Lu, Wang, Shi and other families, who are all Qiandi's cronies, and they all seem to have sad faces.
Even the officials have a heavy expression...
That's right! Anyway, I can't think of a way out. Since the court won't pay and His Royal Highness can achieve his goal, there is no reason not to allow it.
In the end, the weapons inspector smashed it, and it was also smashed into the hands of His Highness... By the way, the East Palace is quite wealthy.
