Chapter 286 Everyone loves money and asks for support)
Any other plans?
With a smile, Shi Yiwen did not speak, but continued to play chess. Perhaps because Wu Cai was absent-minded, the chess game on the chessboard soon became a deadlock. Looking at the chess game, Shi Yiwen smiled.
"That's what I plan!"
“What are the plans?”
"Let them fight to lose both sides."
Shi Yiwen said without any concealment.
"Look, just like on this chessboard, now you and I have become a deadlock, but no matter which one is, it has no ability to destroy another, and can only cause a blow to another force. This is balance! For the royal family, this balance is very important, but both the ministers and Jiangnan will hope to hurt the other party hard. After all, by that time, it has reached the point of life and death, just like..."
After a pause, Shi Yiwen sighed.
"Just like the reform and the opposition now, they all hope to use the thunderbolt means to drive the other party out of the court and take power alone, but it is impossible to do it with their own strength."
"Own power?"
Frowning, Wu Cai said.
"Could this be your plan?"
"right!"
Nodding, Shi Yiwen sneered.
"Now the Jiangnan region is in great power, and the heroes and ministers are in little power. But if both sides fight together, they don't know who will win. But what is certain is that the heroes will exist no matter what. After all, they are in the same state as the country, so they will fight and fight, and both sides will definitely hope to drive the other side out. This is my opportunity!"
With his eyes narrowed into thin slits, Shi Yiwen said proudly.
"Lugou is just a superficial thing. It is only a bud and a foundation. It is an invisible force. It may affect the government and the Ming Dynasty, but it cannot influence the government and the future of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, my real purpose is to ensure the chaos!"
"Chaoguan!"
Wu Cai was shocked and said in a panic.
"You want to secretly cross Chen Cang!"
"That's right!"
Seeing that Wu Cai knew his plan, Shi Yiwen only commented sarcastically:
"If they want to kill each other, they will inevitably need external help, and they are unwilling to offend others easily and turn others into other people's help. Therefore, the status of the money gate that is wandering outside the court will become subtle and will become the target of their fight for. In order to win our support, they will definitely compromise on some issues!"
"compromise?"
Frowning, Wu Cai asked back.
"What can one cash gate do for what purpose?"
"Haha, Moda, don't forget where the cash gate is! The place to collect cash! Who doesn't like this silver?"
While talking and joking, Shi Yiwen said again.
"In the eyes of many people, the banknote is only a small place to charge 200,000 taels of silver a year, and only 110,000 taels of silver. However, when the banknote is charged 50,000 taels a year, or even tens of millions of taels of tariffs, who dares to underestimate it?"
"But, don't all these money be handed over to the inner treasury?"
"The Ministry of Revenue did not focus on the inner treasury that day? I didn't want to move the inner treasury silver to the Ministry of Revenue that day..."
Smiling, Shi Yiwen sneered.
"As long as they want money, they have to make some concessions. The money will never be given for no reason. The money will be the foundation for us to influence the government until we control the government."
"Use money to control the government?"
Wu Cai said in surprise.
"Is this possible? No matter how much money it costs, can it be more powerful?"
"The power of wealth is definitely greater than that of poor money. When the combination of silver and power is combined, its power is far greater than your imagination."
In the late Qing Dynasty, how did customs affect the Qing Dynasty's government? Relying on the support of the great powers? Of course not. In the final analysis, it still relies on silver, because it controls silver, and the continuous expansion of Hed's influence on the government and the opposition is precisely because of the continuous growth of customs tariff revenue and the continuous deterioration of the Qing Dynasty's finances. In the end, even came, the situation could not be maintained without the tariff court.
The reason why Shi Yiwen wanted to sit in the cash is based on the same experience.
"poverty!"
Shi Yiwen sneered with a faint word.
"The poor have short ambitions, and the poor court... the same is true. As long as the money is in our hands, the government will inevitably be in control of us. First, there are eleven regular guards. When we wait for an opportunity in the future, we will set up new guards and control customs. In this way, we will take a steady step by step. After three or five years, when the battle between them becomes increasingly fierce, the small bud of Chaoguan will grow into a big tree. When they realize this, we will become towering trees! By that time..."
The voice paused, and Shi Yiwen did not continue to say it, not because of other things, but because everything was as clear as the chess game on this chessboard, and it was impossible for too many changes to occur. Now, what he needs is to push it step by step, developing in the direction he needs.
"But, Zhiyuan, I remember you said before that in the future, the sons of the ministers of Chaoguan will be the officials. Will this cause? Those people regard Chaoguan as hostile? After all, the ministers of Chaoguan will be in hostile at that time."
Wu Caiyu reminded him earnestly.
"Zhiyuan, if you are sure to do this, it will basically be like standing on the side of the heroes. Even if you try your best, you may not be able to keep it alone. If you are involved in the background of those people, the best result will be both sides of the lose-lose situation. The snipe and clam fight against the fisherman will benefit. You said, how can you be this fisherman at that time? So what?"
After looking at Shi Yiwen, Wu Cai tried to suggest.
"I think we should use ordinary scholars and ordinary scholars. At worst, we should use scholars from the Northern Five Provinces so that we can stay in the center and stay transcendent..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Before Wu Cai could finish speaking, Shi Yiwen interrupted him with a sneer.
"Maoda, you are a scholar, don't you know what scholars rely on? They are not a scholar, but a classmate, fellow townsman, and in the same year, mentors and teachers. They rely on such a relationship. From the day when the Ming Dynasty was founded, a network covering the entire Ming Dynasty was built, thus maintaining their power. The seemingly Jiangnan we targeted may actually be the entire civil service system. I will not take risks no matter what!"
Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen said seriously.
"And I have other plans on this matter!"
With a long sigh, Shi Yiwen looked out the window, looked through the glass window at the snowflakes outside the window, first pondered for a moment, and then said.
“It’s the end of November now.”
"Well?"
Wu Cai looked at the boss with some confusion.
Does this matter?
"There are guests coming to your home!"
Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen with a suspicion.
Chapter completed!
