Chapter 85 New Nanjing Banknotes
Under the leadership of He Xi, all parties in Beijing check and balance each other. The biggest problem is between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying. But other than that, other aspects of power are not beyond limits.
Even Ye Chen can't walk alone.
This has some troubles though. But that's how it is in the field of power.
Prior to this, the situation in Nanjing, under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen, had been bumpy and bumpy, but it was not as smooth as Beijing. But overall, it's under control.
The nobles and civil servants checked and balanced each other, and the emperor was in the middle to make decisions.
The emperor had the absolute support of the civil servants, and the nobles had great power for a while. But it will not overthrow the imperial court.
But things are different now.
In order to combat his own land acquisition, Ding Xian introduced a large number of nobles into it.
In other words, under Ding Xian's operation, the power that originally belonged to the businessman was swallowed up by Xungui. In this way, the strength of the nobles increased greatly. Moreover, if the military assists, the influence of these nobles on the military will also penetrate into the civil affairs field.
Rich and influential in the army. It also has influence in the local area, and can even pull out people at critical moments. What's this? Isn't this just a wealthy family?
Without the civil service system to rely on, what will happen to the imperial power in the face of such a huge power group? It can be imagined.
In other words, Ding Xian's approach personally broke the balance of power that Zhu Yuanzhang had been trying to establish before.
Yao Guangxiao didn't understand. Ding Xian was really stupid or had other agendas.
Yao Guangxiao said: "This matter is of great importance and I can't make a decision. Master He must be informed immediately. Let's wait for the news."
Immediately, Yao Guangxiao immediately sent the news to Beijing through his channels.
-------
It would be false to say that Ding Xian did not expect the situation that Yao Guangxiao and others expected.
The reason why Ding Xian did this.
It's because he doesn't have the power to think that much.
Zhu Yunwen's superiors were pressing hard. No matter what method he used, Ding Xian had to come up with a sum of money to supply the imperial army. Hundreds of thousands of troops and battlefield artillery actually mean one word to Ding Xian: "money."
Making money is never an easy thing. No matter for individuals or for the country. ..
Zhu Yunwen was actually less patient with Ding Xian than Xiaoru.
Without him, Fang Xiaoru himself has background and strength. Zhu Yunwen must weigh the pros and cons when the other party is filial to the child. But Ding Xian doesn't have these, so Ding Xian must give priority to Zhu Yunwen's requirements before anyone else.
Otherwise, if Zhu Yunwen wanted him to die, it would be just a matter of words.
Ding Xian didn't have time to think about the future and hidden dangers.
Ding Xian also killed Fang Xiaoru. Many people are planning to deal with Ding Xian. Ding Xian knew it. Ding Xian is more sensitive about this than anything else. The first thing he has to do is to consolidate his power and defeat these political opponents. Otherwise, if someone appears among these people who is more shameless, has no bottom line, and is more resourceful than himself, how should he deal with himself?
Therefore, it is necessary to beat the drowned dog. As for how to beat it, whether you beat it yourself or find a way to get others to help beat it, there is no difference.
Ding Xian's team is still relatively thin. Outside the city of Nanjing, it is difficult to say whether there are any disciples or old officials.
Therefore, there is nothing that Ding Xian can do about this matter.
More importantly, the most profound point is that Ding Xian is essentially unable to be loyal to anyone. For him, he was working for the emperor, and it was enough to complete the current tasks on time and in accordance with the emperor's requirements. What to do in the future?
It would be better if, while completing these tasks, you also do some personal work for yourself.
This is what he did. He is obviously generous to the court, but the hidden danger lies in the future. Favors are your own. Moreover, with the favor of so many people, it is only logical and reasonable for the Ding family to have a hand in these industries.
And if he cultivates enough team members in the future and has good relationships with distinguished bosses, who will he be? That's Li Shanchang's second.
What He Xi did in Beijing may not be impossible for him to do in Nanjing.
As for the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, Ding Xian didn't think much about him at all. I don't feel sorry for him either. After all, it was him who made the request, and he had to approve it in the end. As an emperor, if you can't see the problem, that's your problem.
rather than his.
The only thing that exceeded Ding Xian's expectations was that these nobles actually jumped into the Beijing boat. Of course, even if Ding Xian knew about it, he would probably pretend that he didn't know.
After all, this one thing may be able to save lives in the future.
-------
When He Xi saw the news coming from Nanjing, he simply didn't know what to say.
He Xi can be sure that Ding Xian's approach has made Nanjing banknotes a subsidiary currency of Beijing. Of course, Ding Xian's actions were a precedent in this era and he was considered a pioneer. He probably didn't understand many things.
It was just a system established by He Xi. He modified it and used it directly.
This stumped He Xi.
How to do?
Maintaining this relationship is simply economic colonization. Nanjing flowers are printed here. Give them as much as you want, and within a few months, Nanjing will suffer hyperinflation. But the question is whether the hyperinflation in Nanjing will affect Beijing.
After all, no matter what? The two sides are locked. Although Beijing can declare that it will not recognize Nanjing's new banknotes. So exchanges are done privately. It has nothing to do with Beijing. Put the blame away.
But the problem is that there is only one Ming Dynasty, even if the two sides go to war. But the economies of both sides remain closely linked. Nanjing's economy collapses, and the banknotes printed in Beijing will eventually flow back to Beijing.
This is inevitable for He Xi.
Secondly, as mentioned earlier, it is not a good thing for He Xi to end the war quickly. After all, when the war ends, problems between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying will probably arise.
When there is no crisis or demand, reform is not so urgent. The public opinion and official trends faced by He Xi were also different.
He Xi thought about it, finally sighed, and chose to find a few people from among his own circle. Talents who were proficient in banking affairs. Only He Xi had such talents.
Send them to Nanjing.
Help Ding Xian complete this reform.
After all, He Xi and Ding Xian had the same interests in attacking the civil servants. The difference between He Xi and Ding Xian is that He Xi has built a whole new education system and trained a new batch of bureaucrats.
That is, students from Beijing Imperial College, Yingkou University, and other universities. These students naturally stick together in the officialdom. When they faced the scholar-bureaucrat group, they were very effective.
After these few years, He Xi is sure that even in the future these new bureaucrats will fight with the old bureaucrats like scholar-bureaucrats in the court. I am also determined to defeat those scholar-bureaucrats.
But Ding Xian did not.
That is to say, He Xi completed the replacement, one interest group replaced another interest group. What Ding Xian did was to embezzle and let the Xungui Group embezzle part of the interests of the original civil servants and landlords.
He Xi secretly thought: "We should make plans for the future."
Yes, this Civil War is actually the midfield. But in He Xi's view, the outcome had already been decided. There is not much suspense about the war anymore. Nothing more than three or four more decisive battles. In other words, the war has been repeated, and it has only been entangled for two more years.
after all. He Xi has perfected the Beijing system. The entire new system, plus the industrial system and military system, is better than Nanjing in all aspects. It's almost impossible to win in this situation.
Therefore, He Xi will also be put on the agenda after the war.
After all, he has to consider more than just a corner of Liaodong and Beijing. The Ming Dynasty's economy cannot be so unbalanced.
He Xi thought of the post-war layout. There was a sudden movement in my heart, and I thought to myself
: "Can I have some contact with Ding Xian?"
Yes. He Xi saw through that Ding Xian was determined not to be a loyal minister and a filial son, and asked Ding Xian to defect to Beijing. He Xi did not dare to make such a delusion. But make some exchanges with Ding Xian in some areas. To facilitate their post-war layout.
But it is possible.
It is estimated that as long as the price is right, Ding Xian dares to do anything.
