Gospel of Lazy Cancer

The atmosphere in Nanzhen Fusi has always been solemn and quiet, and it is still the same today, but there is a bit of weirdness in the order.

Baihu and his colleagues whispered: "Our deputy commander..."

"Silence."

"The rumors are true?!"

"Hush!" The companion gave him a sharp look, and led him away quickly.

When they got to an empty place where no one was around, they relaxed their vigilance a little and began to discuss in low voices.

Baihu returned to his post with a dazed expression, like sleepwalking.

Because their deputy commanders seem, maybe, maybe, probably were harassed by the legendary Thief God.

The action of arresting Thief God went very smoothly. At this time, the prisoner was imprisoned in the deepest part of the cell, unable to escape.

It's just that he encountered difficulties during the interrogation. He was only willing to speak when Park Jiayan was present. Whenever he spoke, although information was revealed, it was always accompanied by lies. As a result, the deputy commander was always surrounded by low pressure these days, which made people afraid near.

"Deputy Commander, this is...today's confession." Jin Yiwei, who was interrogating, presented a piece of paper under pressure.

Park Jiayan glanced at it, it was a love poem.

"The mountain is high, and the moon rises small. The moon is small, He Jiaojiao! My thoughts are far away."

Park Jiayan, who is familiar with poetry, couldn't help filling in the rest of the writing.

I don't see you for a day, my heart is quiet.

In a daze, Pu Jiayan thought of the person he had been thinking about day and night in the desert far away, and seemed to hear his soft and affectionate crooning again when they embraced each other.

"Deputy Commander?" His subordinates called out in doubt, before Park Jiayan came back to his senses.

"Don't worry about him, he is deliberately provoking us."

"Why?"

"I don't know either. Keep it under strict supervision and you will find out in the future."

The baby-faced young man didn't receive any harsh treatment, and he lived in the prison peacefully, but the guards were a little stricter, and the people who came in to deliver the food were different every time, and they came to pay their respects with curiosity, sympathy and admiration. They seemed to be looking at a strange creature that was dying.

Those who dare to tease the Deputy Commander of Jin Yiwei, they respect him as a man, and when the date of his death is fixed by the superiors, try to give him as much pleasure as possible.

"Is this man really a god of robbers? He looks young and his martial arts are not high."

"The God of Thief is Yirong, and there are no more than five people in the world who have seen his true face. He is proficient in robbery and has many tricks, so he cannot be underestimated. If he hadn't followed the clues of the underground bank, he would not have been caught."

A few Jin Yiwei were chatting, when suddenly a black figure flashed in the dark, but they didn't realize it, thinking it was just the trembling of the candle.

In the depths of the cell, Babyface, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

The confrontation between the imperial court and the Mingjiao began with Baochao.

Xie Xuan is worthy of being the leader of the Xie family's generation. After learning about the origin of the Xie family and the Mingjiao, and using the power of Shi Zhengyang to become the current head of the Xie family, he began a series of actions.

He has been steeped in business affairs since he was a child, and he is also familiar with officialdom, and he keenly saw the weakest place of the Ming Dynasty-the national treasury.The emperor was tyrannical and fatuous, extravagant, he didn't care for the people, and he trusted the eunuchs and treacherous eunuchs. The factions in the court were full of chaos, and corruption was rampant. The treasury had been emptied long ago.Such a bad financial situation is absolutely incapable of recovering the decline of the banknotes. Just like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, with a slight push, he will fall into an abyss and be smashed to pieces.

The first link is to devalue the banknotes, bankrupt the credit of the government, and lose the trust of the people.When the people's grievances are boiling and the turmoil is turbulent, the second ring can be implemented, spreading the teachings of Mingjiao, recruiting disciples, accumulating strength, and waiting for an opportunity to rise up.Closely linked, step by step.

The giant ship of the Ming Dynasty that has been sailing for a hundred years is full of gold and jade, and it can be destroyed as long as it finds the right place.

As for the treasure banknotes, things went smoothly at first, as Xie Xuan expected, the treasure banknotes depreciated rapidly under his plan, and people abandoned them when they saw it.

But gradually, two completely different and extreme attitudes appeared: low-level officials and ordinary people desperately wanted to sell, while people in the Jianghu secretly bought and even bid maliciously. The situation was quite chaotic.Seeing this, Xie Xuan realized something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to investigate, but it was too late, the underground bank in Nanjing was sealed up by Jinyiwei, one of the first offenders was put in prison, and the other was at large.

Because the common people see that the precious banknotes are still valuable, they slowly stop selling them, or they only exchange half of the banknotes they originally wanted to exchange for copper coins.The attitudes of the rich and well-to-do families have also changed, with vague attitudes, and even switching from selling to buying.

After the initial panic and madness passed, the value of the treasure banknotes actually stabilized. Although it was obviously lower than before, it was at least stable.

At this time, the government issued a report to inform all parties, and the emperor refuted the request to scrap the banknote, and ordered all the officials to discuss the strategy of the banknote.

In Xie's secret room, Shi Zhengyang, Xie Xuan and the leaders of Mingjiao gathered together to discuss this matter.

There are quite a few people who think that when they stop in time, the emperor has already decreed that there is no need to die.Moreover, the initial investment is too much, so the loss should be stopped in time.At this time, the value of currency is mainly measured by the price of grain. In order to devalue the currency, they secretly manipulated and purchased and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, which greatly reduced the grain in circulation on the market.Although the rebellion wanted to stockpile food, but the base of hoarding was too large, and almost exhausted all the working capital of Mingjiao and Xie's family.

Xie Xuan, however, believes that we should stick to the end: "Banknotes are only issued but not received, neither demarcated, nor recycled old banknotes, resulting in more and more precious banknotes circulating in the market, flooding the market, and depreciation is inevitable. We are just avoiding pitfalls." Fall into the well, push the boat with the current."

The two sides argued fiercely, Shi Zhengyang still did not express his position, and signaled everyone to be quiet, and Xie Xuan continued.

Xie Xuan had already controlled several officials in the court, and said convincingly: "The national treasury is empty, the emperor's decree is nothing but empty words, and the court is powerless to recover."

Shi Zhengyang finally decided to continue with the original plan, and Xie Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this matter can be accomplished and he makes great contributions, he will be able to establish a certain authority in the teaching, and his future is boundless.

Most officials in the imperial court held the same opinion as Xie Xuan. Although the depreciation of the banknotes had temporarily stopped, they had no money, no food, no ideas, and were helpless.

There are many reasons for currency depreciation, which involve a wide range of areas and fields, and are intricate. The simple explanation is that the country's finances cannot make ends meet, and the value of money exceeds the total value of market commodities.In fact, the depreciation of the treasure banknotes, the imperial court itself has to bear the biggest burden. As Xie Xuan said, if the money is not enough to spend, it will print desperately. The financial strategy is equivalent to having nothing, which leads to the situation getting worse and worse.

In fact, Yao Chen had warned the emperor a long time ago, but it was a pity that the court did not take Yi Xing's plaything seriously - it was all because of the wonderful little pornographic articles produced by those small workshops, but fortunately the emperor trusted him very much and made many arrangements in secret.

The national treasury is indeed empty, and the imperial court is indeed without money. It is also true that last year even the salaries of hundreds of officials could not be paid.

All of Xie Xuan's information was correct.

Just missing the important part.

Since the imperial court was unable to afford the salaries of officials last year, who paid their salaries?

The answer: the emperor himself.

Unexpected, but also reasonable.

It is well known that the emperor has money, but what if the treasury is removed?The general emperor is very poor, only some Huangzhuang and Neiku, the truth is so cruel.

The national treasury and the internal treasury are different. The national treasury does not completely belong to the emperor.Last year, the salaries of the officials came from the emperor's own pocket. Wenyuan Pavilion wrote an IOU. If the old minister hadn't covered his face and cried and said he was ashamed of the late emperor, the emperor would have framed the IOU and hung it in his study.

It was a matter of the imperial court's face, and insiders kept secrets about it. Originally, the court was leaking everywhere like a sieve, but none of this news got out.

Ordinary emperors don't have much money on hand. They have treasures and property, but only a small amount of cash.The income channels of the internal treasury are limited, mainly from the income from Huangzhuang, tributes from foreign countries, treasury allocations, royal coal mines, etc. Originally, there is a fixed amount every year, although there are ups and downs, it will not fluctuate too much.

Today's Wansui is an exception, because when he first came to the throne, there were important officials who controlled the court. He had nothing to do, so he took care of the internal treasury himself, with the assistance of Dongchang and other confidants.In order to block the mouths of the world, he did not break the ancestral rules and court laws, increased channels privately, and did not use too many drastic and harsh methods. Harsh admonishing officials can't find any faults.

For example, in Huangzhuang, there is a fruit farmer who grows strange crops. He has the ability to grow melons and fruits in the shape of dolls or gourds, and let the words "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" grow on the surface of the apples. The fruit full of blessings greatly caters to the middle and upper class, and Huangzhuang has made hundreds of times and thousands of times of profits.Some officials even specially presented it, saying that it was auspicious from heaven, and the emperor laughed in private for a year.

Another example is that every time the navy receives and sends foreign envoys to pay tribute, there are always many merchant ships full of cargo behind them. Of course, there are royal ships, but most of them are from other merchants. The opportunity for the envoys to travel together, to participate in the grand event, and to congratulate Taiping together.

In addition, the emperor recruited talents several times before and after, explored ore veins, and discovered many large and medium-sized coal mines that could be mined.

Later, money begets money begets money begets money begets money begets money begets money...

The emperor was not very good at this at the beginning. At that time, some eunuchs who were dressing up for the emperor liked him and suggested sending imperial envoys (preferably internal servants, loyal ones like him) to go to various places to collect official envoys that were not formulated by the imperial court. Taxes, such as mine tax, mountain tax, river tax, tomb tax... that is what people often say.

After Yao Chen learned about it, he persuaded him, because he felt that the food was ugly, the cost of arousing public resentment and suppressing the rebellion was too high, and more importantly, the money came too slowly.The emperor agreed so much that he gave up, and later he often asked him how to manage the business. Yao Chen came up with a few ideas, but because of this, he offended the eunuch and made trouble for Yao Chen everywhere.Yao Chen is also not good-tempered, so he was nicknamed "The Beast in Clothes".

Today, when the eunuchs in clothes and hats were on duty, they lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, looking at their toes in an orderly manner. Suddenly, they heard the Long Live Lord snort. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of his unswerving expression. He was holding Cao Du of the East Factory. The secret report just presented by the Lord.

It must be the old thief and the little thief who made the Long Live God angry, he thought gloatingly.

When changing the emperor's clothes, the eunuch pretended to be worried, but the emperor still cared about him, so he asked him why.

The well-dressed eunuch said: "Oh, it's useless to be a slave, and can't share the worries of the Long Live Lord, unlike Cao's father and son, who are smart and capable, with hands and eyes in the sky."

The emperor glanced at him, uncertain, the latter was frightened into a cold sweat, then the emperor snorted and said with a smile: "You are really useless." The well-dressed eunuch smiled flatteringly, pretending to be a clown to amused.

The rest of the people saw it and laughed and joked, secretly feeling that Cao's father and son won the emperor's heart.

The emperor didn't seem to take this little matter to heart. He was in a bad mood before, mainly because of the family business.

The court has been unable to reach a consensus on the treasure banknotes for a long time, and the cost of the proposals is higher than the other. The treasury can't afford the money, so they came up with the idea of ​​the emperor's internal treasury.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, throw away the face, and there is nothing wrong with issuing an IOU.

The emperor has a lot of opinions on this. You are running a loss in business, but you want me to pay the bill. Do you think I have forgotten your previous disdain for me?

snort!You ignored the me yesterday, but you can't afford the me today.

The emperor had originally made up his mind to let all the court officials drink the northwest wind, but Yao Chen's letter made him waver.

Yao Chen used tricks to destroy Mingjiao's conspiracy and successfully prevented the situation from deteriorating. However, more investment is needed to restore the situation and completely eliminate hidden dangers.

In fact, at present, people from the rivers and lakes and wealthy businessmen temporarily supported the national finances. This kind of support is extremely fragile, because what they value is the future potential and value of the treasure banknote. , then they will not hesitate to throw out treasures and abandon the court, and the country's economy will collapse at a faster rate, causing worse consequences.

The emperor sighed, starting a business is easier than maintaining it, and he has to maintain the huge family business passed down from his ancestors, otherwise his private property will also be damaged.

After careful consideration, he took Yao Chen's strategy to Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Enough is enough." Pu Jiayan looked directly at the person in the prison and warned coldly.

Recently, the confession given to him has changed from love poems to pornographic songs between the bed curtains.

What is "opening the window for autumn moonlight, extinguishing the candle to untangle the skirt", what "the wine is getting stronger and the spring is full of thoughts, the mandarin duck embroidery is turning red", and there is even "golden needle pierces the peach blossom stamen, dare not raise your voice and frown secretly".

He couldn't see through the person in front of him, he always had a very familiar feeling, but he tried hard to recall, but he had no clue, he had never seen this person before.

The baby face tilted his head and smiled, unaware of Pu Jiayan's probing eyes. On the table in front of him were not only wine cups and a few side dishes, but also gambling tools for entertainment, two dice cups.They say it's like big and small, whoever loses a game has to answer a question from the other side.

"Dangtang Nanzhen Fusi Deputy Commander, can't afford to lose?"

Park Jiayan kept his face sullen and refused to respond. He kept his promise, but the other party really didn't know how to answer this question.He thought that with his own martial arts, it would be easy to beat him, but he was hit by a moment of carelessness - the dice cup that the man gave him was missing two dice from the beginning.

"Since I was a child, I have made bets with people, and I always lost nine times out of ten. I didn't expect that now I am in prison, but my luck has changed. I just said the name of my beloved. I didn't expect the deputy commander to be so embarrassing. Since So, why not change the bet to me doing one thing?"

"Come and listen."

After hearing this, Pu Jiayan remained silent for a long time, watched Thieves's silence for a while, and walked out of the cell quickly.

Babyface asked Park Jiayan to send a letter to the proprietress of the Wuyou Inn, and asked him not to open it in any form.

Pu Jiayan held back his anger to fulfill his promise, and then went to the school grounds, knocked down hundreds of wrestlers who were training several times, still not relieved, smashed the thousand-jin stone drum into powder with one palm, and several floor tiles were split and splashed.

In the smoke and dust, countless Jin Yiwei heard the sound of bones rattling as they clenched their fists because of extreme anger, and they all held their breaths, wishing they could disappear immediately.

Park Jiayan's tolerance for God of Thieves is mainly for intelligence.

At first glance, this person is just an opportunistic and profit-seeking thief who has assembled a gang of mobs to look for opportunities to make profits.He instigated people in the rivers and lakes to hoard precious banknotes, and solved the crisis of the court by accident, which is also considered a meritorious service.He angered himself several times. Although he lost his freedom in the cell, he also preserved himself in disguise.

He claimed that the Xie family intended to keep the treasure, but Pu Jiayan absolutely did not believe it. He wanted to find out which force this person belonged to and what his intentions were, but he was obstructed openly and secretly.

Originally, the value of the treasure notes was stable, and the God of Thieves had lost much use value, but because he claimed to be Xie's family and did something in the northwest, which happened to be related to the Wuyou Inn, Park Jiayan became vigilant and tolerant of him,

Pu Jiayan was still struggling, and suddenly learned that the court had finally decided on a strategy.

The Royal Bank was established to manage and control the issuance of precious banknotes. Under it, there were two bureaus of papermaking and banknote printing, and a second warehouse for banknotes and banknotes. In the hands of the emperor.

At the same time, countless low-priced rice from Champa suddenly appeared on the market to help stabilize food prices. They can be purchased directly with precious banknotes. The merchants said that the next batch of rice would arrive by sea ship in ten days.

The court knew that the emperor was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich.

The political faction is also shocked by the emperor's palace. The most terrifying thing in the world is not the emperor who is born to play power games, but that he is good at playing power games and has worked harder than others to learn how to play power games smarter. Veteran People sighed that they were not as good as they were, and lamented that the green is worse than the blue because of the blue.

Watching the value of the treasure gradually rise, those who acted early secretly rejoiced, while those who acted late or hesitated beat their chests and feet.

If the God of Thieves was in front of him, the monkey would immediately hug him and kiss him. He once wanted to get out of here, but every step he took was trembling, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to go to the end.Today, the value of treasure banknotes is rising steadily, with one price per day. Although there are slight fluctuations, the outlook is optimistic.He was going to follow Thief God's previous arrangement and gradually let go of the treasures in his hands, so that he could retire with honor.

I don't know if his brother is doing well in prison...
