Chapter 727 The rise of new forces
The basic foundation of the Ming Dynasty was of course agriculture, and farmers were also the largest class in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, as long as the basic market does not collapse, the Ming Dynasty will naturally not collapse suddenly.
Guo Danke is not stupid either. If he can't control the situation, he wouldn't dare to do this.
But business is an indispensable part.
Business suddenly stagnated, and no one could bear the pain, and it was hard to solve it.
Now everyone understands that this matter is probably the trap set by Guo Dan.
During this crisis, many businessmen went bankrupt, but Guo Dan was alone, because he only had money shops and Xinxing.
The key is that these two transactions are almost the only ones that make money in this crisis.
Because many merchants deposit money in the money house, Guo Dan did not open a charity hall, so he had to pay the storage fee.
There are also many businessmen who face many debts and have to find Xinxing statistics.
This could never be a coincidence!
You just sold the transaction, but all the transactions went bankrupt.
If it weren't for Guo Dan's interference, I believe it!
So, is it that I will throw the blame to Guo Dan again?
It’s not that they don’t want to dump it, but that they don’t know how to dump it, because it was they who asked Guo Dan to close the door. It’s not that Guo Dan himself wanted to close the door, but now he blames Guo Dan for closing the door. Isn’t this slap himself in the face?
As for copper coins?
Guo Dan had to buy back the shares with money, so what's wrong with him paying his employees with copper coins?
Many officials are already overwhelmed. They beat their chests, spit out three liters of blood, and then voluntarily resign. It is important to save their lives.
Now there are some debates among the conservatives. Some people think they are willing to accept the loss. Now the situation is over. They should ask His Majesty to ask Guo Dan to continue to contract the four deeds.
But there are still quite a few people who believe that once they admit defeat, they will lose all their money. They also know that Wanli is waiting for them to surrender, but once they surrender, they will turn black and white into false accusations against Guo Dan, and they will all be guilty.
When the score is settled after autumn, they will still be unable to escape death.
At this time, we must withstand it. The country is in chaos and the emperor cannot stand it.
You can invite Guo Dan back, but we will never come forward and will never bow to Guo Dan to admit defeat.
Dong Pavilion.
"Shen Shougong, you can't continue like this. Even if you kill them all, the problem will still not be solved. It is the people who suffer."
Wang Xijue couldn't help it at home, and finally left the house and returned to the court. He first persuaded Shen Shixing to stop the game of "small soldiers and generals". This game was purely revenge, because those who sent people were all officials who could not handle this crisis. If they were to drag on this, the crisis would become more and more serious, and it would be unfavorable to the country and the people!
Shen Shixing sighed: "To be honest, I actually wanted to stop, but they refused to admit defeat. Then Guo Dan would not be able to come back, and this problem would not be solved!"
Wang Xijue asked: "Are all the civil and military officials in the court helpless?"
Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "Now there are problems in finance. Because of the One Whip Law, the people have to pay silver. At present, the Jiangnan region cannot find even one tael of silver. The people are anxious. They even use all their food for silver and cannot pay taxes. The Ministry of Revenue also feels very troubled about this.
In addition, Henan Road, as a granary, has just experienced floods and has not recovered yet. Now he is facing such a big crisis, and the situation is in danger."
Wang Xijue couldn't help but sigh.
But this is the Ming Dynasty.
When the disaster came to an end of the Ming Dynasty, the officials were still killing each other. They would rather let the Qing soldiers fight than bow to their political enemies. What's more, now it's just a small disaster, so they won't give in easily.
There is actually a problem involved, that is, a considerable number of officials in the Ming Dynasty did not think that they and the country were in a prosperous and both rich. They all believed that the country was just the world of the Zhu family, because Zhu Yuanzhang decided so at the beginning.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to get a very low salary for officials, but it was another matter to treat his descendants. Even the control of military power was all his sons, but later Chengzu exchanged all the military power of the vassal kings with money.
But the meaning is very obvious. The whole world belongs to my Zhu family.
You officials are just employees of our Zhu family.
But how to make officials loyal to the emperor is based on the Confucian ruler, minister, father, son and son.
The eight-legged essay and the Ming Dynasty system complement each other, and are a complete system, which is actually fundamentally different from the Tang and Song dynasties.
The Sui and Tang dynasties were all aristocratic systems. The Song Dynasty was a scholar-official and literati-official and shared great privileges in their era. The Ming Dynasty was a bureaucratic class, but it could never be said that the emperor and bureaucrats ruled the world together. The nominal privileges of the bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty were incomparable to the aristocrats in the Tang Dynasty and the scholar-official and literati-official in the Song Dynasty.
Officials are also very humble in front of the emperor.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to thoughts and respected virtues very much. Although officials with noble virtues might scold the emperor, they would also be loyal to the emperor.
Unfortunately, Confucianism is a very secular idea. It is difficult to fool smart people in the world without believing in God like the West.
Over the years, everyone has seen it very clearly. Since they are all private and there is no public opinion, then this is good. Of course, they are given priority to their own interests. The loss of the country is only to lose their Zhu family. But if I want me to bow to my political enemies, the loss is our personal interests.
If Wanli had probably destroyed their might and would not have played so well. The dispute over the foundation of the country became like that, and he would not have killed the other party.
But now Wanli has Guo Dan’s technical support.
This is different.
Not only did Wanli not stop, he also issued an order to ask why the situation has not been resolved, what are you doing, and why the officials of the four governments have not been appointed yet?
Shen Shixing wanted to stop, but now he is in a difficult situation, so he found the Minister of Personnel and saw whoever has a hard neck and sent him to see whoever has a hard neck.
......\n
Yinuoyaxing.
"Wow! I really didn't expect that this neck is really hard!"
Guo Dan was a little confused.
He didn't expect the other party to be so strong.
Aunt Xu sighed softly: "Now, it is difficult for all parties to take the lead. It is not easy to make those censors bow their heads. They have always been against Zhang Juzheng at the beginning. If they surrender to a businessman at this time, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the court in the future, so it would be better to resign and go home.
As for the cabinet, even if they are willing to compromise, they don’t know how to compromise. If they come to ask you, first of all, you will not agree, and secondly, you may be beaten by the other party.”
Guo Dan couldn't help asking, "Then when will this stalemate be done?"
Aunt Xu said, "Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry."
Guo Dan shook her head and said, "I'm not dead anyway."
Aunt Xu said, "But those people are innocent!"
Guo Dan spread his hands and said, "But I don't have the power, and I can't do anything."
The same thing is said--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since this cannot be changed, everyone should take care of themselves first.
The North Korea and China began to compete for internal strength and family background.
Guo Dan didn't expect the other party's neck to be so hard, and the other party actually didn't expect that Wanli would be so cruel this time. This country belongs to your Zhu family. Do you let the crisis continue?
Little did they know that the further they went, the smaller the losses of Wanli, and the money was in the hands of Wanli, so Wanli was also fearless.
And at this moment, a memorial from Chuzhou, Jiangnan broke the deadlock.
Gu Xiancheng, the judge of Chuzhou, suddenly submitted a memorial, and the title was "Settlement of Accounts after Autumn".
The general idea is to mock the cabinet. I know you want to settle the accounts after the autumn. OK, there is no problem. For example, Song Jingsheng, Lu Langzhai and others did make many mistakes, and they deserve punishment. But the problem is that before the autumn is over, you are in a hurry to settle the accounts, hold the people, and ignore the dangers of the country.
Is this something that a minister should do?
He believes that at this time, the cabinet should stand up and unite the court, find ways to resolve the crisis, and after everything is over, you will calculate slowly, instead of using this crisis to eliminate political enemies.
This is putting the cart before the horse.
Although the memorial also pointed out the mistakes of the conservatives, the conservatives were experiencing a treasure and began to fight back. Such a big crisis was impossible for those small officials to deal with. At this time, your cabinet was responsible.
Now no matter who is assigned by the Ministry of Personnel, they all oppose it. They ask the cabinet to take action in person, and you cannot occupy the pit and do not shit.
At the same time, Gu Xiancheng's memorial also won the support of many upright officials.
At a critical moment, Shen Shixing is just taking care of the public and taking personal revenge, and you have killed a lot, so it's time to stop.
Shen Shixing was also suffering. Although he didn't say anything and just laughed it off, he cursed Gu Xiancheng in his heart, saying that you can speak without any pain when you stand. Don't just talk about me, you're giving me an idea!
But he also knew that many officials were very dissatisfied with this, so he directly pointed out the topic and started to settle old accounts with them. Who was in a hurry to drive Guo Dan away? Who slandered Guo Dan, Wang Xijue and others?
You have turned black and white into chaos, which has led to a great chaos in the country, but now you are unwilling to admit your mistakes.
At this moment, Shen Yiguan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly jumped out and shouted a slogan that made all the civil and military officials feel very embarrassed. He actually recommended Guo Tan to be the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and enter the cabinet.
He even compared Guo Dan to Guan Zhong of Qi and Xiao He of the Han Dynasty. He believed that Guo Dan was a rare genius in the world who had been in a century and the court should be promoted based on his merits and promote him in an extraordinary way.
This is so stingy that no one can bear it.
Many officials were really ashamed to work with him when they heard this. As the Minister of Personnel, you actually went to lick a son-in-law businessman. And there was no limit. He was only in his twenties. If you let him enter the cabinet, do you want to light a green lotus? Our officials are completely embarrassed.
Even Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, thought this guy was crazy.
But what is surprising is that a large number of powerful people, meritorious people, and many local officials in the court supported Chen Yiguande's proposal.
And the voices supporting them are getting louder and louder.
Even the conservatives and the cabinet were stunned.
Has the world changed?
It turned out that this was because the interest groups behind it were beginning to be a little unbearable. The business was in recession, and the trade in canal, salt, iron, tea, horses and other trades were all severely hit.
Just talking about this salt, according to the Ming Dynasty system, selling salt to border areas requires merchants, and now merchants are reluctant to buy salt with silver.
How to operate this?
Can officials and powerful officials who are related to these interests be happy?
Although no snowflake is innocent under the avalanche, they all think they are innocent.
They are becoming more and more disgusted with the struggle between the two factions because they are eager to solve the problem. When the problem is solved, you can fight anyway.
Gu Xiancheng asked the cabinet to unite the court to solve the problem, which was very consistent with their ideas. The key to solving the problem was Guo Dan. Chen Yichang proposed that Guo Dan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was also in their interests.
The voices of Gu Xiancheng and Shen Yiguan directly led to the gradual formation of two new forces in the North and China.
