Chapter 2324 Gui Zi Scroll, choosing similarities and differences, conditional game
After getting up, Feng Ziying finished washing up under Ping'er's service, and then took the first step to the long room.
Shen Yixiu and the others had gotten up early, waiting for Feng Ziying.
Tong Niang rushed forward early, put her arms around Feng Ziying's neck and called her daddy. Her cheeks were so red that people couldn't help but want to kiss them. After not seeing each other for several months, Feng Ziying actually felt a little more worried. The connection of blood is really heartwarming.
She carried Tong Niang and went straight out. When she got to the second bedroom, she looked at Anlang, the son Yingchun gave birth to, and teased her again before heading to the third bedroom.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan gave birth to their children only three days apart. Miaoyu gave birth to her sister and Xiuyan gave birth to her younger brother.
After all, there are four children in this mansion alone. If we include the three children of Wang Xifeng and Busia Mara from outside, I can be considered worthy of the Feng family.
There are seven children, four boys and three girls. Even if they have three bedrooms, on average, they can all get one male heir.
The only regret is that the three wives Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu did not give birth to a male heir. This is probably the biggest regret of everyone.
However, in Feng Ziying's view, this should be a matter of time. After returning from Liaodong, she would not go out again in a short time. She would go to work in court during the day, and then she could work hard on the three women at night. Strive to let the three women get what they want as soon as possible.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan's children also needed to be named. The book title was temporarily suspended, but the nicknames had to be chosen first. After pondering for a long time, Feng Ziying decided on the names Yingniang and Weilang.
Counting, Tong Niang is born from Shen Yixiu, Su Niang is born from Busia Mara, Ying Niang is born from Miao Yu, Hu Zi is born from Wang Xifeng, Anlang is born from Yingchun, and Busi Yama is born. Xiuyan gave birth to Wei Lang, who was born from La, and now Xiu Yan has given birth to Wei Lang, who can almost sit at the table.
It was originally a happy time for the whole family, but it was always interrupted. People from the Ministry of War and the cabinet urging Feng Ziying were waiting at the door of the house. Baoxiang and Ruixiang knocked on the door one after another, and Yuanyang and Jinchuaner came to the house. He also came in twice to remind him, but Feng Ziying was helpless and lazily went out and went straight to the Ministry of War.
Wang Wenyan accompanied Feng Ziying on the bus, and wanted to use this time to talk to Feng Ziying about other recent developments in Beijing.
"A few families are making a lot of noise. It may have a lot to do with the poor situation of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, but the court doesn't seem to care much about it..."
Wang Wenyan thought as he introduced: "I feel, it's just a pure feeling. After the results of the Liaodong War came out, it seemed that the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing suddenly accelerated..."
"Wen Yan, do you mean that the imperial court wants to reach a compromise with Prince Yi Zhong?" Feng Ziying said thoughtfully, "Before I went to Liaodong, I only knew that the imperial court was negotiating with Nanjing, but the conditions were very different, and everyone could still maintain a stalemate. , how come the situation in the Liaodong war has improved and victory has been achieved, but it feels like the court is compromising with Nanjing?"
"Sir, the Ministry of Finance can no longer support it. Haitong Bank has borrowed more than ten million taels of silver, which is so heavy that the Ministry of Finance can't breathe. There are also public debts. From the looks of it, it is estimated that we will have to continue borrowing, even if it is Now the imperial court has reached an agreement with Nanjing, but it will take half a year until the taxes from Jiangnan are released to Beijing. I estimate that it will be half a year later. When Nanjing and the imperial court go to war, Jiangnan will also provide money. Two years later, Jiangnan should have been released and handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. All taxes and taxes have been used up by Nanjing. In other words, what can be released to Beijing this year is what should have been paid this year, but what about last year and the year before? Then it can only turn into water, and look at the stalemate between Nanjing and the imperial court. , one of the important conditions is that taxes in Jiangnan may have to be reduced, which is also an important factor that prevents agreement."
Wang Wenyan sighed, just how long has it been? In just over a year, the imperial court has borrowed more than 10 million taels from Haitong Bank, plus the 4 million taels of national bonds issued by the Ministry of Revenue. Now it is said that the Ministry of Revenue is preparing to continue to borrow money from Haitong Bank.
Yinzhuang borrowed 3 million yuan and issued public bonds of 2 million yuan in addition, which meant that the court's debt was almost 20 million taels of silver.
For such a large sum of money, the interest alone would be more than three million taels per year. Even if the interest rate was discounted for the court's loan, it would still cost an estimated twelve million taels per year, which is 2.4 million taels.
The key is that under the current circumstances, the court's taxes, not to mention the repayment of principal and interest, cannot even maintain the status quo. It has to continue borrowing money. Perhaps in three to five years, the court's debt may exceed 100 trillion.
Wang Wenyan's words left Feng Ziying speechless. A penny is too much for a hero. The court has no money, so everything will come to a standstill. And it seems that his theory of borrowing has not been accepted by the cabinet ministers.
"So Wenyan, what do you think the court plans to do now?" Feng Ziying felt that Wang Wenyan should have matured a lot after following him for so long. He should not only be limited to mastering and analyzing intelligence, but should go further and put forward his own ideas.
Opinions and suggestions.
"Sir, do you think that if Prince Yi Zhong really succeeds to the throne, how much impact will it have on our Zhou Dynasty? I mean how big it will be compared to one of several princes, such as King Shou or King Lu.
What’s the difference?” Wang Wenyan asked rhetorically.
Wang Wenyan asked this question so well that Feng Ziying couldn't answer it for a while.
He had also thought about how Prince Yi Zhong would be different from Emperor Yonglong after he succeeded to the throne. Would he be able to return to the power of Emperor Yonglong and control the government as much as in the early days of Emperor Yuan Xi? Obviously it was impossible.
The current cabinet is quite stable. It can be said that Ye Fang, Qi and Li are now working together in a relatively tacit understanding. The proportion of scholars from Jiangnan, Beidi and Huguang in the court is also relatively reasonable. If Prince Yi Zhong succeeds to the throne, then he will originally follow him
Those marginalized Jiangnan scholars such as Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi, Gu Tianjun, and Zhu Guozhen must have an explanation, and this will also become the focus of a game.
Another factor is martial arts.
From the current point of view, Wu Xun began to be ignored in the later period of Emperor Yuan Xi. Emperor Yong Long continued this strategy. Wu Xun's power declined at an accelerated pace, and even their last base, the army, was weakened a lot.
.
The two major groups, Wu Jinshi and border wealthy families, quickly replaced the Wu Xun nobles and became the mainstream of power in the military. This was probably the main reason why people like Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng joined Prince Yi Zhong.
If Prince Yitada succeeds to the throne, it will be a difficult problem how to deal with the marginalized Jiangnan scholars and the remaining martial arts forces.
Under such circumstances, if Prince Uizada and Prince Su (King Lu) succeed to the throne, what differences will there be in policies? How will the imperial cabinet view and respond?
