Chapter two hundred and nineteen the plan of alienation
After using Thunderbolt to shock the generals in Guangdong, Lin Chunhong ushered in the busiest period in history. Writings from Jingzhou required approval, subordinates in key positions needed face-to-face teaching, and visitors from all over the world needed to concentrate on dealing with it...
Lin Chunhong lamented: I'm almost becoming Zhu Youjian. I'm busy until late at night every day, who can stand it...
It is still comfortable in Jingzhou. Bangtai is deeply rooted in Jingzhou area and has formed a complete system. Lin Chunhong only needs to grasp the direction and does not need to do everything by himself. In Guangdong, everything is created in a critical period for the improvement of the system. Lin Chunhong cannot be slacked off at all.
Originally, Lin Chunhong planned to immediately go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to inspect the iron ore matters after destroying Liu Xiang, in order to solve the bottleneck problem that had long troubled Bangtai. Unexpectedly, things came to their faces like a rush of mountains and rivers, and they could not find time.
What is Yu'er busy with every day? The dragon is not in the end! Alas, I'm suffocating. I've been suffocating for a month. I haven't recognized the taste of Yu'er...
When Lin Chunhong thought of Cui Yu, he kept swallowing his saliva and shouted: "Yu'er...Yu'er..."
Without hearing Cui Yu's sweet voice, Xiao He heard timidly reply: "Master, the little lady is going to Macau and will not come back tonight."
Lin Chunhong was stunned for a moment, threw a document on the desk in annoyance, and stared at Xiaohe in a daze.
Xiaohe is tall, graceful, with a fair face and elegant appearance. She reveals a transcendent charm all over her body, like a lotus that emerges from the water, washing in the clear water without being charming. Lin Chunhong couldn't help but be fooled. She finally restrained her inner thoughts and was about to continue to review the writings. The guard Ning Dian reported that Gao Long, the general manager of the Military Information Department, arrived in Guangzhou and was waiting for the summons in the mansion.
Lin Chunhong was shocked. Gao Long came to Guangzhou in person. No major happenings within Bangtai, right?
The suspicious Lin Chunhong immediately summoned Gao Long. Fortunately, Gao Long's expression was as normal, which made Lin Chunhong feel relieved.
"What's so urgent? I'll report it as soon as I arrived in Guangzhou?"
Gao Long bowed his hand and smiled and said, "The general beat Liu Xiang to death in just three months after he arrived in Guangzhou. If his subordinates do not speed up their work, the general should be dissatisfied!"
Lin Chunhong laughed and scolded: "When did you learn to flatter? This flattery level is not very high! If you have something to say, don't do this!"
Gao Long smiled embarrassedly, and then said seriously: "Return to the general, my subordinates came to Guangzhou. It was the order of the governor of Zhou. There was a turbulent undercurrent within Bangtai. It was difficult for the governor of Zhou to be in charge of Xiangyang. I hope the general can transfer Deputy Governor Zhang back to Jingzhou!"
Lin Chunhong changed his face and asked, "What happened?"
"It's not because Zhang Mingqiao leaked the secret of coin minting!" Gao Long said hatefully.
"This Military Information Department has already reported it. Hasn't Zhang Mingqiao been arrested by the Supervision Office?"
"The strange thing is here. After Zhang Mingqiao leaked the technical details of the coin to Wen Yuren, Wen Tiren instructed his party members to report to promote Zhang Fuling as the Yanzhou Promoter. Although this matter was left by the emperor, the governor of Zhou suspected that Zhang Fuling had a major suspect of collusion with Wen Yuren!"
Lin Chunhong frowned and thought deeply, silent.
Gao Long continued: "What's even more bizarre is that once the Supreme General's Session was left, Qin Liangyu ordered Ma Xianglin to lead troops to reinforce Wanxian! Lu Xiangsheng also ordered the governor of Zhou to advance to Nanyang, otherwise he would be punished as a disobedience. The governor of Zhou said, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. Once someone cooperates inside and outside, Bangtai's foundation will be destroyed!"
"So Governor Zhou asked to be transferred back to Deputy Governor Zhang?"
"That is, Governor Zhou also suggested that it is best to temporarily replace the prefecture order with others, so that it can also prevent it before it happens."
Lin Chunhong linked all the information together and deduced it again, asking: "Is there any news about Li Huizhong?"
Lin Chunhong's words were vague, but Gao Long had been with Lin Chunhong for a long time, so how could he not understand Lin Chunhong's meaning? He replied: "The Security Department has not yet discovered that the suspicious person is active in the country."
Lin Chunhong sneered and said, "Wen Tiren is good at planning! He is so brave! In order to make a plan of discord, he actually mobilized the troops of the world!"
Gao Long was stunned: "Wen Tiren's plan to disagree?"
"That's right! The young master of Zhang Fuling was not a good weapon. It was a pure accident to disclose the details of coins for personal gain. Wen Tiren tried to make us believe that Zhang Fuling and Zhang Mingqiao did it intentionally, so that we could break our own wings!"
After saying that, Lin Chunhong found a document from the case table and said, "This is Zhang Fuling's plan to establish the Grain Department. The profound plan and the perfect details can be considered hard work. If you can come up with such a high-level document, do you suspect that it is not good for Bangtai?"
Gao Long didn't understand the affairs of the Food Department. Before he could finish reading, he bowed and said, "Governor Zhou was waiting for the general to make an idea, so please let the general tell me."
Lin Chunhong thought for a while and said, "Where is Lu Xiangsheng, tell Governor Zhou, don't resist. Send the Cavalry Camp to Henan for a while. Even if you fight a few tough battles, it doesn't matter. Dou Shiwen and Xu Yun have been operating in Nanyang for a long time. Tell them to protect the copper-picking land and never let the bandits attack you!"
"As for Qin Liangyu's side, let Li Mengshen send the elite navy to the Shizhu Chiefs to see if Qin Liangyu has the courage to send troops!"
"Governor Zhou is in charge of Xiangyang and cannot leave. Jingzhou does not have a prestigious general. Don't worry, I will ask Deputy Governor Zhang to return to Jingzhou immediately..."
Gao Long felt relieved, and then reported some things and informed Lin Chunhong: "The eunuch Zhang Yixian sent people to Jingzhou several times to show his kindness, and this time he sent his confidant Li Mingchen to Guangzhou to pay homage to the general. He has arrived in Shaozhou. The purpose is to mint coins. Please ask the general to make plans early."
Lin Chunhong was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that there were as many opportunities as business and could not stop them.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The coin workshop and the Bangtai Money House are both affiliated with the Finance Department of the Central Secretariat. The two closely cooperate to jointly build the Bangtai monetary system. Since Bangtai mined copper mines in Wufeng and Tongbai counties, the coin workshop has been working at full capacity to mint copper coins on a large scale. The copper coins are stamped with brass, which is completely different from the Jiajing Tongbao. However, the Ming Dynasty has been extremely short of copper coins for a long time. Once the new copper coins appeared, they were immediately warmly welcomed. Users did not care whether the copper coins were real Jiajing Tongbao.
However, compared with the popularity of copper coins, silver coins cannot catch up. Silver coins are new and it will take some time for the people to accept them. Moreover, given the huge profits of minting silver coins, silver coins were jointly boycotted by Jiangnan's wealthy merchants, and they have never been able to open up in Jiangnan. What's more, in order to issue more notes, Lin Chunhong almost transferred all the cash silver to reserve silver, and the daily silver coins produced are very limited.
Later, Zhu Youjian issued an order to strictly prohibit Bangtai from minting coins privately. Lin Chunhong simply stopped stamping silver coins and used all hydraulic and wind machines to stamp copper coins, making amazing profits every day.
As Bangtai's senior executives' vision grows longer, most executives have realized that the chaotic currency system of the Ming Dynasty has had a great impact on Bangtai's business, and Bangtai urgently needs to establish a unified monetary system nationwide.
The demands of Hui merchants and Jiangnan merchants are also strong. Therefore, the calls for establishing a unified monetary system are getting higher and higher throughout the country, and there are always several memorials talking about this matter every month.
It just so happened that Lin Chunhong used facts to prove that stamping silver coins and copper coins was a huge profit. Zhu Youjian and Wen Tiren then made up their minds to rectify the chaotic monetary system and unify the stamping silver coins and copper coins.
Wen Tiren was full of confidence and wanted to take the coin minting into his arms, so as to fully grasp the finances of the Ming Dynasty. This was why Wen Yuren tried his best to get the technical details of coin minting from Zhang Mingqiao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian hated the government's corruption, inefficiency and deep disbelief, and did not believe that the government could do this well. It just so happened that the coin minting agency Baoyuan Bureau was affiliated to the Ministry of Works, and the eunuch Zhang Yixian was involved in the work department and the Ministry of Revenue affairs. So Zhu Youjian handed over the coin minting matter to Zhang Yixian, and all the profits were included in his treasury.
What Zhu Youjian did even more was that he followed Lin Chunhong's advice and stipulated that for every silver coin, Zhang Yixian would pay six cents of profit, and for every 1,000 coins of copper coins, he would pay one hundred and fifty cents of profit. He also sent people to draw coins to check the quality of the coins regularly to prevent Zhang Yixian from committing fraud.
This almost forced Zhang Yixian into a desperate situation. With Zhang Yixian's organizational ability and the current technical status of Baoyuan Bureau, he could not make any profits. How could he talk about paying profits?
Zhang Yixian was unable to do so, so he had to keep showing kindness to Lin Chunhong and sent his confidant to Guangzhou, hoping that Lin Chunhong would save his life. He knew very well that Zhu Youjian had high hopes for coin minting, and if he failed the matter himself, he would probably be in danger of his life.
Lin Chunhong was of course optimistic about the court's coins. This was not only beneficial to Bangtai's profit, but also related to the future of the entire Han nation. From any perspective, Lin Chunhong would not let the court mess up the matter.
Moreover, Lin Chunhong agreed to Zhu Youjian's minting coins to the eunuch. After all, it is not known how much trouble it will take to deal with the gang of those in the Ministry of Works. It is much easier to deal with the eunuchs and can openly conduct profit transactions.
When Lin Chunhong thought of this, he suddenly felt a palpitation: Who are the people he is keen on for communication? Such as pirates, eunuchs, peddlers, frustrated soldiers, and border troops fleeing to Jingzhou... They are all marginal forces of the Ming Dynasty. And the mainstream forces of the Ming Dynasty, such as Wen Tiren, Qu Shisi, Zhang Pu, Xiong Wencan, and Zuo Liangyu... When communicating with them, they were not only exhausted, but also extremely bored.
"It's been seven or eight years since this era. It seems that I haven't fully integrated..."
"No, it's not that it's not that it's not integrated. It's very likely that the so-called mainstream forces of the Ming Dynasty have lagged behind the times..."
"It seems that I still have to focus on cultivating emerging forces. This is the biggest strategy... I have a long way to go..."
