Chen Ning understood Fei Ju, he was very angry now.
Facing the sudden rise of Gu Zhengchen, he not only became a noble, but also won the respect of the emperor. Even Wei Guogong Xu Da and Jinghai Marquis Wu Zhen were very close to Gu Zhengchen, which made Fei Ju, who was not very generous, very dissatisfied.
He couldn't bear to see Gu Zhengchen being favored and was already angry, but recently Fei Ju was pointed at and scolded by the emperor, saying that he, like the Marquis of Jining Gu Shi and the Marquis of Liu'an Wang Zhi, drank and had fun all day long and had no ambition to make progress.
Fei Ju was puzzled. How could he be "enterprising" when he stayed in Jinling? What about drinking some wine? Can a general be called a general if he doesn't drink?
After a few words of rebuttal, he was kicked out of the palace.
As a result, the emperor sent Wei Guogong Deng Yu, Henan Hou Luju, Zhongshan and Tang He, and others to Zhangde and Zhending, and sent commanders Sun Tong and Feng Jun to Runing, and a group of people went to Beiping and Yongping. There is only one person with soldiers:
Reclamation of wasteland and farming.
I also want to make progress, but the emperor doesn't give us the chance to make progress.
As soon as Fei Ju sat down, he saw Chen Ning's flattering face and couldn't help but ask: "Doctor Chen Yushi, why are you here when you are not at the Yushitai?"
Chen Ning sat down directly and smiled calmly: "The Marquis of Pingliang is a heavy drinker, wouldn't he come to the teahouse to drink?"
Fei Ju shook his head: "Your Majesty won't let us drink, so we'll drink tea instead."
Chen Ning didn't believe Fei Ju's words. This teahouse was three streets away from Pingliang Houfu. Your home was right outside a bustling market with teahouses, restaurants, and brothels. Why would you run here if you had nothing to do?
"The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are about to be issued. I wonder how much silver the Marquis of Pingliang has prepared?"
Chen Ning pointed to the opposite side.
Fei Juxian glanced at it and asked: "How much has Dr. Chen Yushi prepared?"
Chen Ning waved his sleeves: "I am an official with two sleeves, and my daily salary is barely enough to live on. Where can I have the extra money to exchange for treasure notes, unlike the Marquis of Pingliang who has a salary of 1,500 shi."
Fei Ju took a sip of tea and said softly: "I haven't prepared any money or food. It seems that Dr. Chen Yushi is here to watch a show?"
"Each other."
Chen Ning did not deny it.
Fei Ju looked to the opposite side and saw Ma Gui and Yu Pu, who had written letters from the Ministry of Revenue, arrived, accompanied by Fei Zhen from the Baobao Lifting Department. Standing next to Fei Zhen was Gu Zhengchen!
Chen Ning saw the dissatisfaction on Fei Ju's face and said softly: "Hu Xiang said that this person is no longer difficult to deal with, so I was puzzled. He is just a man who made a fortune, so why is it so difficult to deal with him? Could it be that he Can his status in His Majesty's heart be comparable to that of generals like you who have experienced hundreds of battles?"
"Although he brought a lot of money and food to the imperial court this time, who knows how many treasures this person has hidden secretly? Your Majesty ignored it and refused to let the people from Yushitai check it. I didn't say that, as long as your Majesty orders it He is so tall, Pingliang Marquis traveled to Nanyang, and it is impossible to bring half of the national treasury. How much food did he bring? His Majesty still trusted this man too much and allowed him to rise..."
Fei Ju nodded repeatedly.
Chen Ning is right. Anyone who leads a navy fleet to Nanyang can bring abundant trade goods. Gu Zhengchen is just trying to trick someone by relying on the trust of his superiors!
"This man is a ruthless person. Once he is allowed to gain power, he will kill at will. I wonder if the Marquis of Pingliang has heard about it. He killed more than a hundred people in Quanzhou Prefecture at one go. He almost killed all the officials in the seven counties of the prefecture. Even Gao Hui, who participated in politics, personally stopped him and was imprisoned in a prison cell."
Chen Ning spoke softly and said the most crucial sentence: "In time, he will become more powerful than the Marquis of Pingliang. Thinking of the past festivals, oh, if the Marquis of Pingliang wants to drink tea, I'm afraid he will have to change places..."
Fei Ju stared at him and said in a deep voice: "What did I have to do with him during the past festivals? My adopted son Fei Qiang's legs were both broken by me. The matter has been settled long ago."
Chen Ning looked deeply at Marquis Pingliang and said softly: "Liu Shi'an, the head of the Criminal Department, was arrested by the school inspector. Does Marquis Pingliang know about this?"
Fei Ju's expression changed.
Chen Ning picked up the tea bowl and said calmly: "The person who arrested him is Mao Xiang. I don't need to say what the purpose is."
Fei Ju said in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
"what for?"
Chen Ning pointed at Gu Zhengchen opposite him and said with a smile: "Do you need to speak more directly between the head of the Ministry of Punishment and him? Pingliang Marquis, if this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. Once he is informed of that matter, with his cruelty The decisive method, Pingliang Hou Mansion..."
Fei Ju frowned and said, "Why do you know this?"
Chen Ning chuckled: "Of course it was Commander Mao who told Mr. Hu. Prime Minister Hu paid a lot of money for you, so that Commander Mao could close the case in another way."
Fei Ju lowered his head.
In this way, he owed Hu Weiyong a favor.
Back then, a Quanzhou businessman came to him and sent two beauties over just to find some information and files about Gu Zhengchen. He thought it was not a big deal, so he agreed and got some information through the head of the Criminal Department.
It had been so long, and Fei Ju had never thought that something like this would go wrong and even alarm the emperor. If Hu Weiyong hadn't intervened and Mao Xiang had shown mercy, he might have been more than just reprimanded.
"What does Dr. Chen Yushi think we should do?"
Fei Ju asked.
Chen Ning shook his head: "Hu Xiang said, if you don't take action, that's it. Once you do, haha - now we need to collect criminal evidence, we need witnesses and physical evidence. It is best to have people follow him and keep an eye on him. .”
Fei Ju shook his head: "This is unlikely. You have also seen that Xiao Cheng is not far away from him. With this person here, we have no way to put anyone next to him."
Chen Ning grinned: "Not necessarily, what if that's the case..."
Gu Zhengchen seemed to feel something. He turned around and looked at the teahouse opposite. He saw Chen Ning and Fei Ju sitting together and looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.
Xiao Cheng walked to Gu Zhengchen and whispered: "I'm afraid nothing good will happen if these two people sit together and mutter."
Gu Zhengchen shook his head slightly: "We will leave Jinling soon, how come they have nothing to do with us."
The sound of gongs from far away attracted many people from Jinling, and some businessmen also began to gather around, eager to see the true appearance of the life treasure banknote.
At noon, the sound of firecrackers exploded on the street and lasted for nearly half a quarter of an hour before stopping.
Ma Gui and Yu Pu, as ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, opened the yellow curtain of Daming Bank on behalf of the imperial court, revealing the golden plaque of "Da Ming Bank".
The golden characters alone showed that there was the shadow of the royal family behind the Ming Dynasty Bank. After all, no one would dare to blatantly use a plaque with large yellow characters without the emperor's permission.
The door of the Ming Dynasty Bank was opened, and Xiao Yi, the director, took a group of officials and officials out, introduced himself, posted the three terms of the bank that Gu Zhengchen had finalized, pointed to the words and read them to a group of businessmen and people, and then shouted: " The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were ordered by the emperor to facilitate business and the people. They are guaranteed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imperial court, so you can rest assured..."
Hu Dashan pushed through the crowd and was the first to come out: "Master Xiao, Hu is going to Fujian to do some business. Can he exchange it for light Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes here, and then exchange it for money in Fujian Province?"
Xiao Yi nodded solemnly: "Merchant, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can be used directly in any province, prefecture or county. Like the Ming Dynasty Tongbao, it can be used all over the world without any hindrance. You can directly use the treasure banknotes to trade goods, right? For transactions of less than 100 yuan, no store may refuse to accept Ming Dynasty banknotes."
"If anyone has doubts about the value of the treasure banknotes, they can first accept the treasure banknotes and then go to the Daming Bank in the mansion to exchange them for silver. The Daming Bank can guarantee in front of the two ministers that any Daming bank can freely exchange the banknotes and money. Gold, silver, and copper. If you can't exchange it freely, you can go directly to the government office to sue the person in charge!"
Ma Gui walked out and said solemnly: "Master Xiao is right. The Ministry of Punishment has been revising the "Da Ming Law". Except for small transactions, no merchants, shops, or trading transactions may refuse to accept Da Ming treasure banknotes. At the same time, the regulations have been confirmed. Bao banknotes and gold, silver and copper coins exist side by side in the world and can be freely exchanged at the Ming Dynasty Bank anywhere. The Daming Bank shall not refuse reasonable exchange for any reason."
These words relieved many of the concerns of the businessmen who came.
The reason why it is clear that except for small transactions is because the minimum Ming Dynasty treasure note is one hundred coins. If you take a hundred coins to eat Chaos, and you have to let others find it, that is not bullying. In order not to disturb the people and not have a negative impact on small businesses, small transactions are protected.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue sat down to explain, and everyone's concerns were finally dispelled.
Seeing that the explanation was clear, Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said: "Today the Ming Dynasty Bank will open its doors, and I will rest with the country in accordance with the order. If you want to cash out the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, then prepare gold, silver and copper coins."
Gu Zhengchen thought of something, glanced at Hu Dashan and others, walked out first, and showed a silver ingot in his hand: "The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are popular in the world, and they will definitely benefit the country and the people. Gu has some salary, can he exchange it first?" The first Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?"
Trust!
Pretense!
Chen Ning could see clearly from a distance and gritted his teeth.
Ma Gui and Yu Pu were also depressed by Gu Zhengchen's actions. You are the deputy director of the Baochao Promotion Department. There is no need to stand up in a hurry...
Seeing this, Xiao Yi, the principal, couldn't refuse, and immediately shouted: "No matter the identity of the person coming, he only wants gold, silver, copper and treasure banknotes. Since this person wants to exchange it, of course he can, please come in."
Gu Zhengchen waved his hand: "Here it is, just give me the first of each edition of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes."
Xiao Yi didn't know why, but he still arranged for the secretary to collect the money, took it to the counter and took out a copy of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes with different characters and characters.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Xiao Yi: "This is the first Ming Dynasty banknote issued by Daming Bank, right?"
"nature!"
"Please also ask Master Xiao to leave a private seal for me as a certificate and as a souvenir."
Xiao Yi looked at Gu Zhengchen doubtfully, but still took out his personal seal and left a seal. Gu Zhengchen looked at Ma Gui and Yu Pu again, asked for the seal, then put away the five Ming Dynasty treasure notes and looked towards The businessmen and people who were watching shouted: "It's your turn."
Hu Dashan was a very competent trustee. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to exchange three thousand Guan treasure notes!"
