Sure enough, after the entrance opened, Wei Changqing and Mao Bijiang were standing there honestly. It looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Chong was quite surprised: "It seems that you two are having more fun than I thought. I thought I had to wait here until dark."
Mao Bijiang said seriously: "Since your Majesty has such good intentions, how can we dare to let you down?"
Seeing that the conversation between the two people has become much gentler, Lin Chong also knows that although their prejudices against each other have faded a lot now, if they want to maintain a harmonious relationship, it is not something that can be changed overnight. Today
It is not easy to achieve such great results.
"It's all because you two were so slow and wasted my time. I have to find the old monk Jueming quickly and say goodbye to him. It cost me a lot of money to borrow this place from him." Lin Chong complained,
I didn’t expect that monks would be so obsessed with money these days.
So the atmosphere that seemed a bit dull when they came back changed a lot when they went back. Wei Changqing and Mao Bijiang talked a lot more, and when they spoke, they were no longer just polite, and occasionally they could
Make some jokes with each other.
Anyway, they had nothing to do, so Lin Chong discussed the official bank notes with them again. He had mentioned this matter to Mao Bijiang before, and just wanted to hear his opinion.
"Wei Chen understands that His Majesty must have your considerations in doing this, but if you really use this method to allow businessmen to run amok, then I'm afraid it will attract resentment from students all over the world."
It is not that Lin Chong has not considered this issue. If the rich really have the right to speak politically, it will almost be equivalent to the central government reselling official positions, which will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of those who come from poor backgrounds, and those who bear the brunt are
The stubborn Donglin Party and those under their control.
"In your opinion, how can this official banknote be improved?"
"Since Your Majesty wants to raise money quickly, it is understandable to adopt this method. But if this official silver certificate really wants to be circulated, more restrictions must be placed on it. It cannot be because it violates the rules.
.”
"Restrictions, what restrictions should be placed on him?" Lin Chong was curious.
"Let me give you an example. If this thing really comes into the hands of wealthy businessmen, then in the coming year they will indeed be able to enjoy a certain status based on it, and they will also have the opportunity to participate in major events. However, such opportunities must be limited and limited to a limited time.
There are strict restrictions on how much they can buy, and how much the official banknotes will become invalid."
"Invalid...Yes, why didn't I think of this before?" Lin Chong clapped his hands. If this official bank note can set a time limit, then how many people can participate in the decision-making of national affairs, and how many people can participate in it?
Wouldn't it be completely controlled by the imperial court for a long time? This would not violate his original intention.
"You raised this point very well. I will consider it carefully after I return." Lin Chong patted Mao Bijiang on the shoulder. He looked up and said: "It's still early in the morning, so there is nothing important to do in such a hurry to return to the palace.
Well, why don't we just eat something outside? Ever since I came here, there have been many big and small things, and I haven't had time to taste the delicious food here."
Wei Changqing and Mao Bijiang also knew very well about His Majesty's temperament. As the king of a country, all they wanted was power and beauty. Their Majesty was easy to bribe. A few roast chickens would be enough. If they could add more
A few jars of good wine will be more effective than anything else.
"Hey, let's just go to that store. I think it looks good and there are quite a lot of people there. Mu Mu, let's go over there." Before Lin Chong finished speaking, he had already galloped towards the direction he pointed. Behind him was Lin Chong.
The three people shook their heads helplessly and sped up to follow.
Different from the harmony here, Hanzhong is now a hell on earth. Under the rule of King Rui, Hanzhong has always been in order. The people here have hardly suffered from wars, but now almost everywhere people are destroyed and displaced.
.
Although he successfully regained the game at Phoenix Mountain, Zhang Xianzhong was still at a disadvantage. Li Zicheng was frightened by Obai and was too timid to send troops forward.
Therefore, although it is said that there is a cooperation between two parties, in fact, Zhang Xianzhong bears almost all the pressure alone, which makes him a little miserable.
Li Dingguo also understood that this was not the way to go. If they relied solely on Party B's strength, Hanzhong would not be able to defend it. So he took the initiative to find Zhang Xianzhong and made a suggestion, cooperating with other vassal kings to jointly resist Obai and Ah.
Jige's Eight Banners Army.
"King of the vassal? Aren't they all going to make themselves kings? They are all busy fighting for power and the throne. We and them have always been at odds with each other. It may not be appropriate to suddenly propose cooperation at this time. Besides, each of them is now
If the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river and cannot save himself, who can spare any effort to help us?" Zhang Xianzhong felt that this idea was not very reliable.
"Do you still remember whose territory Hanzhong used to be?"
"Of course I remember. If it weren't for that guy Zhu Changhao, Hanzhong would have been our territory a long time ago. But then again, if Zhu Changhao was really still here, Hanzhong probably wouldn't be what it is now.
"Zhang Xianzhong sighed.
"Although King Rui is gone, his troops and horses are still there, and so is his prestige. Have you ever thought that there is another person not far from us now." Li Dingguo expressed his thoughts.
Zhang Xianzhong hesitated for a moment: "You are referring to Heng Wang Zhu Changshu? This guy is still a little boy with no hair on his head. What can he become?"
"If he really couldn't achieve anything, he wouldn't have been alive until now. There are no simple people who can survive in these troubled times. Besides, he not only has his own soldiers and horses, but also
With all the power of King Rui, it is not impossible to say that he is the strongest among all the princes." Li Dingguo has always been paying attention to the forces of all parties, so he is very clear about these things.
"But even if this is the case, will he be willing to cooperate with us?" Zhang Xianzhong thought it was a bit unlikely. After all, they had met each other at war, and the two sides had a grudge.
"The enemy doesn't care about thinking so much at the moment. I think he doesn't want to see Hanzhong, which King Rui worked so hard to manage, be destroyed like this. Aren't they brothers?"
It is true that the enemy can't care about that much at the moment. Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then I will write a letter and send it to King Heng Zhu Changshu to ask for his help."
Li Dingguo nodded: "If I personally deliver this letter, I will definitely convince King Heng to send troops. I believe he is a sensible person."
