Chapter 978 Rejuvenation

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the first major case was the Wei rebellion case. This major case had its inevitability, and it was not the so-called protection of Wei by some later generations of Xiaobai that would make the empire last longer.

Anything beyond that.Wei Zhongxian and others reached their peak power during the Apocalypse Dynasty, claiming to be nine thousand years old. For such people, they already threatened the existence of the imperial power, which is abnormal. After any emperor came to power, he would not allow his existence.And after Wei Zhongxian possessed that kind of power, how could he return to the normal life before and live without that kind of power?
Not to mention this, when the new emperor comes to power, his confidant eunuchs in Qiandi, the eunuchs who accompanied him when he grew up, must be in power, and it is impossible for the emperor to trust the confidantes of the former emperor instead of using his own confidantes.There will be conflicts of official positions and power.The so-called one emperor and one courtier may have less influence on civil servants, but it is absolutely true for the eunuchs of the emperor's slaves, the commander of Jin Yiwei, etc.Not to mention the eunuchs, Emperor Jiajing appointed his grandson Lu Bing for the position of Commander of Jinyiwei, because he was trustworthy and powerful.However, since Emperor Jiajing was dead, it was impossible for Lu Bing to have the power he had before, nor could he occupy the position of Commander of Jin Yiwei.

Of course, these things are actually irrelevant to Emperor Chongzhen who traveled through time in later generations.The most important case in his opinion should be the Shanxi Merchants Tonglu case.According to folklore, Shanxi merchants were destroyed and Chongzhen became rich, which is not a casual talk.It can be said that the relief of Ming Dynasty's finances is entirely due to this major case.At the beginning, the seizure of Shanxi merchants was still expanding, causing all Shanxi merchants to feel insecure. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen realized that this kind of seizure was a bit like a later-generation movement, and ordered it to stop.But even though it stopped, the money got a lot.

Now, there is another answer, the case of collusion with piracy was secretly investigated by the admiral of Dongchang, and more than 30 officials of all sizes and more than 20 wealthy businessmen were seized, involving Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other provinces, and it was also faintly expanded. signs of aging.After all, there may be some contacts between wealthy businessmen and officials. The power of Dongchang is large enough. Follow these clues to investigate, one family after another, who has nothing to do with it, makes the officials and wealthy businessmen in the southern provinces panic. .

Emperor Chongzhen had his own chat group system that could be monitored. After hearing the relevant remarks, after thinking about it, it was still like the case of Shanxi merchants, and he ordered to stop here.The reason for this decree is firstly that the first culprit and the main accomplice have been arrested; secondly, the amount of money seized this time is also huge, and the wealth of Shanxi merchants is comparable to that of maritime merchants. This amount of money has greatly eased the increasingly tense financial pressure on the court. The financial needs of the reform of the military system of the guards and related reforms just set can be met, or there is more.

Third, this kind of unconventional method cannot be abused, otherwise the backlash and bad influence will definitely follow.Regardless of any society, ancient or later, feudalism or serfdom, or anything else, it must have a stable social background and a clear rule. Everyone plays within this rule, so that everyone can be good.Otherwise, no matter how powerful a person is, like the emperor, if the table is turned too much, it will lead to bad results. This point has long been proved by history.

Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want this matter to affect the plan to open the sea, so he ordered to stop here.And it is declared to the world that anyone who violates the laws of the country will not be reported, but the time has not yet come!As long as the time comes, no matter how much you eat, you will spit it out.Those who keep their own law and order are protected by the laws of the country, so they can live with peace of mind and will never be harassed.

If there are false feelings, officials commit adultery and commit crimes, the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is imminent, and the people of Ming Dynasty can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inform.As long as people sue officials, as long as they are not false accusations and the circumstances of the case are serious, the Metropolitan Procuratorate must not neglect it and must take it seriously.

Of course, ordinary civil matters, etc., are not the ones involving officials, and they should go through normal judicial channels, such as the county government that should go to the county government, the government government that should go to the government government, and so on.The restructured Metropolitan Procuratorate, starting from the county level, is an upright knife hanging over the heads of officials everywhere.Jinyiwei and Dongchang are like knives hidden in the dark hanging over the heads of officials everywhere.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's design, in the future Jinyiwei will be on the military side, while Dongchang will be on the civil side. The division of labor between the two sides will be different, and each has its own focus, so as to avoid overlapping functions and wasting manpower and material resources.

The amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and fields confiscated by various provinces was huge. Emperor Chongzhen decreed to enrich the bank's capital, and most of them were deposited in the wealthy southern provinces, and began to issue more large-value banknotes at a ratio of [-] to [-].

The Daming Bank system and banknotes have been implemented for almost two years. After hard work, a good reputation has been formed. Now even if more banknotes are printed, the bank can cope with possible runs.In this way, the more paper money printed will not only not affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty's financial system, but will also promote the further prosperity of the wealthy provinces in the south!With the further circulation of funds, commerce will be more developed, and the lives of the people will only be better.

When many courtiers saw Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, people with good relationships laughed and joked: "My lord, it seems that the gray hair is less. What kind of panacea have you taken to make you look young again?" It's gone!"

Bi Ziyan was always cheerful about these words, but he was filled with emotion in his heart.Thinking about the past, the treasury could starve to death. Even the most important frontier army salary was delayed again and again, and there was no money at all.He naturally knew the consequences of collecting Liao's salary from the peasants again, but he had to. Even his own brother was forced to death by the Liao soldiers because of this.

But now, Bi Ziyan has self-knowledge, and he doesn't do much.It was the emperor who designed Daming's banking system and tried his best to ensure its normal operation. After the money was poured into the two major cases, the power of the banking system began to show.Now that more banknotes are printed, it will be silver money, and it will not affect the value of the banknotes. It will have no impact on the market at all.

Bi Ziyan once said to his wife before going to bed about this method of the emperor, not to mention Taizu, even since ancient times and modern records, it is No. 1!And as far as the future is concerned, Daming's finances will also get better and better. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Bi Ziyan's gray hair increased!
