Number of romantic figures

Chapter 619 T-roll competition, focus

What was supposed to be a very successful cabinet dinner meeting was very smooth in the early stage, but in the end, because of a question that Feng Ziying "inadvertently" raised, countless people had a lot of reverie, and it ended in a delicate atmosphere .

Of course, on the whole, the basic purpose has been achieved.

With a franchise fee of 120 million taels, the income of Dongfan Salt will reach 100 million taels that year, and another 100 million taels will be in place within a few years. In addition, the amount and period of Kaihai bonds that have not yet been officially determined, but everyone It can be predicted that whether it is a three-year bond, a five-year bond, or a ten-year bond, the proceeds from the sale of 300 million taels of bonds will be available within this year, or even higher.

This means that this year, that is, the seventh year of Yonglong, the income of the Great Zhou Dynasty can increase by an additional 520 million taels, which accounts for about a quarter of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue.

This income can be said to have directly avoided the bankruptcy of Da Zhou's finances, otherwise the court would have had to raise funds through very harmful methods such as donations, and that method of drinking poison to quench thirst was also what Emperor Yonglong most opposed and feared.

Now all this is easily resolved.

Although 520 million taels of silver is not enough to completely solve the financial dilemma of the Great Zhou court, at least it can relax the rope around the neck a little bit, and the food and salaries that are urgently needed in Xijiang and Liaodong can be basically met, and the dredging of the Yellow River and water transportation The urgently needed money can also be resolved, but the needs of Denglai and Xuanda can only be partially resolved.

Yinzhuang is not counted here.

The matter of Yinzhuang was only mentioned at the end, and most people were not very interested, even Emperor Yonglong who was still interested, but now his mind was completely attracted by the first few things.

But in Feng Ziying's view, the Yinzhuang is the most critical and core link. Once such a "red hat" half-official and half-business financial institution grows, its influence cannot be counted. Now the bureaucrats are far from realizing this.

Under Feng Ziying's proposal, including franchise fees, Kaihai bond income, and Dongfan Salt Service income, they will first be transferred directly to the cabinet of the first established Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou Headquarters, and then will pass through Haitong Yinzhuang Jingshi within a specified time. The transfer of the Bank of the Ministry of Accounts on the No. cabinet, of course, the specific transfer and the proportion of the amount retained in Haitong Bank, has yet to be negotiated by Feng Ziying and the Ministry of Accounts.

However, Zheng Jizhi has made it clear in the court meeting that he is willing to support the development of Haitong Bank to a certain extent, but in view of the current empty treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, in order to stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China, he needs to deposit most of the silver in the bank of the Ministry of Accounts. In the treasury, no more than two proportions of silver are kept in Haitong Bank, and this is also based on the premise that Haitong Bank must meet the needs of the Ministry of Households to release silver at any time and on time.

Feng Ziying did not argue with Zheng Jizhi on this issue. He understands Zheng Jizhi's difficulties, but he is not prepared to back down. It is the bottom line to keep [-]% of Haitong Yinzhuang. I have spent so much thought that I can't even get this benefit. It is unreasonable. .

If 150 million taels can be retained in Haitong Yinzhuang, coupled with Feng Ziying’s expected stock raising of 100 million taels as share capital, and some Jiangnan merchants who have promised to be in Haitong Yinzhuang, Feng Ziying estimates that Haitong Yinzhuang will have 300 million taels in the early stage of opening. With about two or so available funds, how to lend to support the development of some promising industries and quickly realize profitability is an imminent problem.

For several cabinet elders, Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying's sudden "wonderful ideas" only aroused some vigilance, but they did not affect the current relatively harmonious situation in the cabinet.

After all, there are too many troubles in front of Da Zhou, and it is undoubtedly inappropriate to consider how to reform the evaluation of official administration now.

Even Qi Yongtai himself admitted this.

He just wanted to remind the two chief assistants and second assistants that they should have a sense of foresight in this regard, and don't blindly procrastinate and block.

As soon as he stepped out of the prime minister's residence, Qi Yongtai frowned and signaled Feng Ziying to follow, but before he had time, he saw a man in gray shirt under the big locust tree on the side of the road had already greeted him, "Master Feng."

Both Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying frowned.

Qi Yongtai didn't know him, but Feng Ziying did. The man in the gray shirt obviously didn't expect Qi Yongtai and Feng Ziying to come out at the same time.

Qi Yongtai glanced at it, and didn't bother to ask more. Thinking about it, it's not appropriate to talk to Feng Ziying now, so he nodded, "Ziying, come down and find time to talk to you as a teacher."

Feng Ziying quickly saluted and sent Qi Yongtai away in a sedan chair.

This is Zhou Ru, the long history of Prince Zhongshun. Feng Ziying has met him once or twice, and knows that he is King Zhongshun's confidant.

"Master Zhou, what are you doing here?"

"Master Feng, you have waited for me badly." Zhou Ru complained as soon as he came up, with a very friendly look, "The prince got the news as soon as you entered the palace, and sent a villain to guard at the Zuoshun gate. But when they came out, they were all accompanied by a few elder ministers, and the villain didn't dare to stop the sedan chair. He could only watch helplessly as the lord and the elder ministers came to Wenyuan Pavilion again, and the prince issued a death order. I ask the villain to invite you back today, no matter when,..."

Feng Ziying didn't expect King Zhongshun to be so impatient. He probably got news from various sources and was impatient to get started.

"Why is the prince so anxious? I will go to the prince's mansion and make it clear." Feng Ziying smiled, "Master Zhou has worked hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as you can invite Mr. Feng back to deal with the prince." Zhou Ru accompanied him with a smile, "Then Mr. Feng, let's go?"

"Let's go." Feng Ziying shook her head, joking: "If I knew it, I would have gone to the prince's mansion for lunch. The lunch in the prime minister's residence is really too ordinary, and the wine is even worse. I don't know how many people are there. How can elder Ge bear it..."

Before he walked out of the alley on the side of the prime minister's residence, he saw an internal servant already blocking the alley entrance: "As ordered by His Majesty, please enter the palace immediately."

Zhou Ru was dumbfounded, and Feng Ziying was also a little stunned. How long have we met, and are you going to be summoned alone again?

Zhou Ru was very upset, but he didn't dare to compete with the emperor's servants, so he could only dodge aside.

"Master Zhou, there's no need to be like this. I think the emperor just asks a few simple questions, and it won't take much time. Why don't you go back to the palace first, Lord Zhou..."

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Zhou Ru quickly shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, the villain is waiting for the adults here. The matter that the prince has explained is not done well, so the villain dare not go back."

Feng Ziying also knew that King Zhongshun had a somewhat surly temper. He had great respect for respected people, but he was extremely harsh and violent towards ordinary people. He was a typical mixed personality. He didn't make things difficult for the other party. The head followed the servant.

Or the East Study.

Feng Ziying reckoned that what she hated the most was being able to frequently go in and out of the palace in just a few years and being summoned by Emperor Yonglong alone.

To say that Emperor Yonglong did like to see his foreign ministers alone, but those were basically important officials above the third-rank officials of the six ministers, and the local officials outside, even the provincial envoys and procuratorial envoys, rarely got alone. However, Feng Ziying walked in and out of the East Study Room as if walking on the ground.

This cannot but make people feel uneasy.

Of course, many people are saying that this is because Feng Ziying caught up with the matter that is most valued by the court and the emperor.

To be honest, Feng Ziying really hoped that he would not be so conspicuous, and really hoped that this wave of turmoil would pass as soon as possible. So young, too ostentatious, really risky.

"I'm very curious. Feng Qing was able to open up the situation in such a short period of time, and also brought me a surprise of Dongfan Salt. I don't know how to be happy." The corner of Emperor Yonglong's mouth hangs With a pleasant smile, there is more inquiry in the eyes.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. The plan to open the sea is some of my minister's ideas, but it was perfected by Mr. Chai. Later, the cabinet ministers conceived and formed it, and the officials formulated it in detail. Of course, this minister does not deny that I have some credit for it. The emperor's encouragement and encouragement. Inspiration is also the main reason why Wei Chen works hard for it."

Feng Ziying's face was warm and gentle, neither humble nor overbearing, she neither denied the credit of shirking her own merits, but also sincerely mentioned the merits of some other people.

"Weichen is more concerned about the execution level. Well, now the specific implementation of Weichen has been entrusted to Mr. Lian and Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wu Sheng, who are currently observing politics. They are doing a very good job now. .”

Even in front of Emperor Yonglong, mentioning one sentence can have an unexpected effect. It may not be necessary to practice state affairs, but people like Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Sheng are too important.

"The performances of the ministers in the cabinet, Chai Ke, and Guan Yingzhen were within my expectations, but Feng Qing's performance was too outstanding to be amazing. Well, I have heard about Lian Guoshi and your other classmates, and soon We are familiar with each other, Qi Qing and Guan Qing have brought Qingtan Academy to a peak, but what about the subject in the eighth year of Yonglong?"

Emperor Yonglong didn't rush to ask what he wanted to get, but asked about the current situation of Qingtan Academy.

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Feng Ziying said with affirmation, "Many outstanding people in the same department of my ministers in those days either did not pass the autumn, or passed the autumn but not the spring, and many of them are just unlucky It’s just good, but in the past two years, due to the great increase in the academy’s reputation, many talents from all over the world have entered, so I can assert that Mingke Qingtan Academy will shine again.”

Emperor Yonglong stroked his beard slightly and nodded. It has to be said that the disciples of Qingtan Academy's Yonglong five-year subject are really outstanding. In just two or three years, they have already made their mark in the court. In the past, ten years It may not be able to perform like this.
