"Mr. Yu Shan only returned to Nanjing in early June. After that, he closed the door to thank guests and rarely interacted with others." Outside the gate of Qian's house in Nanjing, Ruan Dacheng raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then wiped it on his chin.
The heat in Nanjing during the month was unbearable, but as a scholar, Ruan Dacheng came out to visit guests, but he couldn't do it like Li Fu and Lu Zhanbing did.
He was still wearing a coat and long robe, and there were beads of sweat even on his beard. Ruan Dacheng went to the capital with Jiang Fan and did not return to Nanjing until mid-June. But Pang Yu could not see that he looked tired, but was in high spirits.
, I feel even better than the last time I saw you. I guess I have met many old friends in the capital, and I still have feelings for Fuqi.
I hope that when I come back, I will take a boat to avoid the pain of running around. Pang Yu raised his head and glanced at the door. Qian Qianyi's house does not seem to be luxurious in appearance, at least not as good as Ruan Dacheng's. Pang Yu also wore a suit today.
Qingjin, and it is indeed cyan, absorbs heat better and sweats out more
Very little, no less. It feels quite uncomfortable to wait outside for the door.
"Then why is Mr. Yushan willing to meet me?"
"He is short of money." Ruan Dacheng looked around and whispered, "You gave him two thousand taels of silver this time, which can be regarded as relieving his urgency, otherwise he would have sold his original book." Pang Yu couldn't help but smile, Qian Qian said
It was Wen Tiren who initiated Yi's trip to the capital. Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan were not people that could be moved by money, but there were many people who dealt with them. They needed to open up the joints everywhere. Those who wanted to come to the capital
The Tianlao is roughly the same as the county prison, so Qian Qianyi's money will definitely not be saved. According to what Ruan Dacheng said before, although Qian Qianyi is famous, as a leader in the literary world, he has to maintain the dignity of a literary man and buy all kinds of things.
It costs a lot of money to obtain a single copy of ancient books, and I can’t let go of my pretensions to work as a broker to make money like Ruan Dacheng did.
The way is relatively simple. The last time I inscribed Pangyu Dajiang Bank, it was considered a big business, so I was always short of money.
Finally the door opened, and the two of them quickly followed it in. The inside was indeed not big or luxurious, but every detail was carefully thought out, and the details were elegance. The door led them all the way to the main hall, and stood in front of the hall.
A scribe of about fifty years old looked at the two people with a gentle smile, and even wore a square hat on his head. He was not at all casual because he was at home. He was not as bulky as other old people.
The swelling may be due to the imprisonment in the capital.
Ruan Dacheng fell one step behind. Pang Yu knew that he wanted to highlight himself as the guest of honor, so he stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Student Pang Yu, I have met Mr. Qian." Qian Qianyi laughed and immediately reached out to help Pang Yu up, "
Although we have just met each other for the first time, we are already teachers and students. Last year, I suffered an unjust injustice for my teacher and was imprisoned. I was completely devastated. When I heard about the great victory of Susong, even though I was in prison, I still felt...
As long as there is peace in the world, I will not care about my own grievances."
Pang Yu looked excited, "The teacher has been wronged, and the student only hates being spoken lightly. At that time, he was also involved in military affairs, so he could only ask Mr. Ruan to run for him, and he always felt guilty." "Mr. Yushan clearly learned that General Pang has indeed written many times.
, I have to make a special trip to run through it, and I am willing to shoulder the burden of getting around." Ruan Dacheng told lies with a sincere face. This kind of thing only involves him and Pang Yu, and it is impossible to be exposed.
.
Qian Qianyi nodded repeatedly, but his expression did not change. It was not clear whether he believed it or not. He just looked at Pang Yu and said gently, "This situation has been mentioned many times. In the stormy sea, it is the key to knowing people."
hour."
"Fortunately, the emperor is wise, and the teacher who has become clear will himself become clear. When the students heard that the teacher had returned to the south, they could no longer conceal their joy and immediately set off from Anqing to listen to the teacher's teachings face to face."
Qian Qianyi laughed heartily, then grabbed Pang Yu's hand and personally led him into the main hall. There were two other people inside. Pang Yu took a quick look and saw that these two people were older than Qian Qianyi.
Almost, around fifty. Pang Yu now has experience in judging age. Those at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty often looked older, and at thirty years old they were as old as
Fifty years old, but these literati are better maintained and closer to his previous life experience.
Before Qian Qianyi could introduce him, Ruan Dacheng from behind had already said, "Mr. Qu is here too."
Qian Qianyi brought Pang Yu to a person and said, "Jia Xuan, this is Pang Yu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Anqing who defeated 200,000 bandits in Susong."
He turned to Pang Yu again and said, "This is Qu Jiaxuan. I have a teacher-student friendship with me, as well as a life-and-death relationship." Pang Yu had read the details of Qian Qianyi's imprisonment in the intelligence, and immediately knew that the man in front of him was Qu Shichu.
, who once served as Hu Ke and was also the boss of the Donglin Party. This time he and Qian Qianyi were imprisoned together and were released together.
.
At that moment, he greeted Qu Shichun politely. Pang Yu didn't recognize the other person inside, and Ruan Dacheng didn't express anything. Judging from his polite greeting, he didn't recognize him either.
Qian Qianyi waited for the two of them to say hello, and then led Pang Yu to the stranger.
The man didn't put on any airs and actively thought about Pang Yudao, "Kui next week."
…
"I'm here to pay a visit to the two gentlemen. First of all, I want to congratulate the old gentleman for redressing his injustice. It can be seen that even though he has the power of warmth and kindness, he can't defeat the justice of the world. I never thought that I could meet Mr. Ji and General Pang again. It is really a three-life event.
Fortunately."
Pang Yu sat aside and looked thoughtfully at Zhou Zhikui, who was talking eloquently in front of him. He had never seen this Zhou Zhikui, but it could be said that he had heard of his name for a long time. From the time he interacted with Fu Shen, this name
They kept appearing. Zhou Zhikui was originally a member of Fushe, but later he turned against Zhang Pu and claimed that he was driven out of office by Zhang Pu based on public opinion. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Zhikui wrote "Fushe or Wen" and wrote to Fuque last year.
He also wrote "The evil leader of the society was restored to chaos, the regulations were driven out, the officials were killed, and the cronies were slandered."
"Issue Shu", the attack on Zhang Pu was resolute and sharp, focusing on the emperor's taboos. In the first two years, Zhang Pu was in panic all day long and kept a very low profile. The main reason was Zhou Zhikui's contribution. And Qian Qianyi's incident
It first started in Fushe Eucalyptus, and the cause was Zhou Zhikui's "Fushe or Wen", and finally turned to Donglin, so his imprisonment was somewhat related to Zhou Zhikui, but now he has entered the house openly, which is really a big deal.
Pang Yu's expectation. According to Pang Yu's understanding of these literati, Zhou Zhikui definitely did not appear in this lobby by chance. Qian Qianyi wanted to use him to convey some hidden meanings.
"Secondly, I would like to thank these two gentlemen for writing the preface to "The Second Collection of Abandoned Grass", which I wrote with great sincerity."
Pang Yu secretly glanced at Qian Qianyi and Qu Shichun. Both of them were great scholars in the world. There were countless people who wanted to ask them to write prefaces to their collections of works. Most people couldn't ask them to do so. However, they asked Zhou Qianyi to write prefaces to them as soon as they were released from prison.
Zhikui wrote a preface to a collection of poems. He and Ruan Dacheng had contacted him in advance when they came to visit today. Qian Qianyi knew that he was coming, and asked Zhou Zhikui to come to meet him at the same time, perhaps to express an attitude to himself and Ruan Dacheng. Zhou Zhikui is
The life-and-death feud between Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai
Qian Qianyi wrote a preface for him to express his rejection of Zhang Pu. The last time Ruan Dacheng accompanied Wu Chang to Anqing, Zhang Pu hinted that he wanted to unite with Donglin. Ruan Dacheng may have expressed it to Qian Qianyi,
Qian Qianyi's meaning today is probably what he wants to convey to Ruan Dacheng, who is
I will not cooperate with Zhang Pu, but I also need to tell Pang Yu, because Pang Yu has always had a close relationship with Fushe.
Thinking of this, Pang Yu turned his eyes and looked at Ruan Dacheng. As expected, Ruan Dacheng's face was not very good-looking. Zhou Zhikui didn't know what Pang Yu was thinking. He said in a loud voice, "The third part is self-defense. There are rumors among the people in the market."
, it is nonsense to say that the two old gentlemen are in jail because they wrote a letter to me. You two gentlemen know me best, and I also regard them as my confidants. How could I do such an act?
This letter contains one copy each of "Restore the Society or Questions" and "Restore the Society's Chief Evil, Disorder, Cao Regulations, Expulsion of Officials, Killing Cronies, and Defiance of the Edict", which are exactly the same as the letter. Please
The two gentlemen have reviewed it, and only two of them have been attacked, and there is absolutely no implication of this, sir."
After saying this, he took out two neatly folded submission papers from his sleeves and handed them to Qian Qianyi respectfully. Qian Qianyi took them with a smile, but did not really look at them to show his respect for Zhou Zhikui.
Trust. Zhou Zhikui turned to Pang Yu, "I know that the general has a lot of contacts with Fushe society members, and I may have heard about the incident between me and Zhang Pu, but the cause is definitely not whether the "Guobiao" was included in the following article.
The real reason is that Zhang Pu was engaged in political affairs in the countryside and deceived the world and stole his reputation.
, this person's knowledge is enough to kill people, and his skills are enough to harm the country. If he is in charge of power, the harm will not be caused by the thieves. I am attacking two pieces below to expose his face. It is not for personal hatred, but for the sake of the country. I want the general to show his sincerity in boxing.
." Pang Yu followed Qian Qianyi's example and smiled without revealing his attitude. Zhou Zhikui turned to Qu Shichun again, "When I'm going to resume the society or ask questions, it's the time when Erzhang Pi is arrogant, just like Jiaxuan.
As the teacher said, the baby's mouth still smells like milk.
, I apologize for hearing this. I don’t know why Yelang is so arrogant. Gentlemen, you don’t bother to get involved with him, but I don’t have that level of cultivation. I can’t bear it.” He finally turned to Qian Qianyi, “The restoration of the society involves these two gentlemen.
It was not because of the "Fushe or Wen" written in the next article, but because Zhang Pu was sinister and vicious. He sent Wu Changshi to Beijing to hook up with Xue Guoguan, colluded with the Wen Party, and framed the two gentlemen to restore the society.
The prison is exactly what Zhang Pu Luo Zhi Guzhi did to murder the skateboarder." Zhou Zhikui was the one talking in the hall. Neither Qian Qianyi nor Qu Shili made a statement, but when Pang Yu heard this, Qian
Qian Yi's attitude is very clear. Ruan Dacheng's wishful thinking may come to nothing. The previous obstacles to his comeback are Dong Lin and
Both Fushe and Donglin have a share, but Donglin and Fushe themselves are full of contradictions. If he can unite the two, it can be regarded as a great move in the court. From now on, these two parties will no longer be his obstacles, but will
Become his ally. But currently Qian Qianyi has rejected the alliance with Fushe through Zhou Zhikui's words. Now he has just defeated Wen Tiren, and his status in Donglin is at its peak, and his reputation is unparalleled. For him
It is very helpful to plan a return to official career.
At this time, there is no benefit in cooperating with Zhang Pu. From Zhou Zhikui's narration of Qu Shichu's words, it can be seen that the elder Donglin was quite dissatisfied with the arrogance before the restoration of society. Another point was the control of the imperial examination.
The cohesion of the society lies first in the imperial examination, and this is also Donglin's
In this territory, Zhang Pu controlled the imperial examination in the local area. Every year, the proportion of Fushe among the Jinshi was increasing, so Donglin was naturally on guard. Most of Pang Yu's expectations were disappointed. The best situation for him was that Donglin and Fushe could
United, he can use the political resources of both parties at the same time to expand comprehensively along the river and canal areas. He has political support from the DPRK and China, so it is convenient.
Get twice the result with half the effort, and don’t have to choose sides. Who would have expected that he would encounter a head-on blow as soon as he arrived in Nanjing. Of course, Pang Yu was not completely desperate. Qian Qianyi’s attitude may not necessarily mean that he completely believed in Zhou Zhikui, but he might also
Zhou Zhikui's role as a spearman was just a means of negotiation. After all, he himself did not express his position directly. Zhang Pu is now finished.
Being the weaker party, Qian Qianyi needs to get the most favorable cooperation conditions.
Thinking of this, Pang Yu turned his head to Ruan Dacheng and saw that this skilled political broker had a slightly red face and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Zhikui, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
"How about issuing stickers in Yangzhou?"
In the conference room on the third floor of Dajiang Yinzhuang, Pang Yu sat calmly at the top, followed by Liu Ruogu, Zhou Yueru and Jiang Fan. Liu Ruogu took the brochure in his hand and reported, "Yangzhou and Nanjing terminals issued nine thousand for the first time.
One hundred taels were exchanged for 4,300 taels of silver within ten days, and 4,800 taels were sold outside. Recently, merchants have been buying tickets one after another, and they are circulating in
The total amount of foreign currency is 7,200 taels. It is frequently used for transactions in Nanjing and Yangzhou. There have been two circulations at the farthest Wuhu terminal. No one has been found to have imitated it. It seems that more issuances can be issued." Pang Yu nodded, although political transactions
It did not go well, but he will continue to push forward with all his strength to support the vote. Zhang Pu has great influence in the Jiangnan area, so the progress will not be affected. However, there is no official support from Dong Lin in the canal area, and the effect will be
It's not a big problem. At least Qian Qianyi didn't ask him to choose sides right away. What we have to worry about now is whether the conflict between Donglin and Fushe will intensify. If it becomes as incompatible as Wen Tiren, then
Pang Yu has no choice but to step on both sides. When the time comes, one of them will become the enemy. This is the biggest risk at present.
risk.
Pang Yu looked at Zhou Yueru, "Ms. Zhou is in charge of ticket stamping affairs. What are your opinions on the issuance of stamped tickets?"
Zhou Yueru's face was a little pale, but his expression was much calmer than before, with almost no unnecessary expression.
"The slave family thinks that it is not possible to issue large quantities." Zhou Yueru disagreed with Liu Ruogu as soon as he opened his mouth. Pang Yu looked at Liu Ruogu and signaled Zhou Yueru to continue. "The anti-counterfeiting of stamped tickets is quite complete, but the multiple ticket faces themselves, this time Yangzhou and Nanjing are trying to issue,
Many times during use, banknotes have been exposed to rain or water, with ink stains on the face, and even the serial number is unclear. At this time, the number of notes can still be verified.
Once it is released in large quantities, it is really difficult to take care of both."
Zhou Yueru raised his eyes and looked at Pang Yu. Pang Yu suddenly realized that Zhou Yueru had also practiced a part of the city. There was no change in her eyes during the exchange. It was difficult to tell her thoughts from her expression. "The purpose of pasting the tickets is for Dajiang."
Along with the canal, the places are all by the water. There are still people who want to take a boat to travel far. No matter whether it rains or falls into the water, I am afraid there will be no shortage. Previously, the waterproofing was heavy on the surface and the ink paint was ignored. The slave family has invited a workshop
Make another special ink, and only after it is perfected can we issue more copies."
Liu Ruogu sat in his seat, neither agreeing with Zhou Yueru nor objecting to her statement. Even Jiang Fan sat quietly aside. Pang Yu couldn't judge their attitude from their expressions. He felt that these subordinates were calmer than Ruan Dacheng. "Second,
Pang Pangren previously requested that stamps should be measured in silver coins. Previously, five silver coins were trial-produced, and the bank has not yet selected which one. Currently, the trial stamps are still counted in two. If too many are issued and it is inconvenient to recycle them, there will be two measurements.
flow
If it is passed, it will only increase the complexity of the bank, and the cost cannot be reduced. It’s over.”
After Zhou Yueru finished speaking, she closed the booklet and stared at the table without any communication with Pang Yu. Pang Yu coughed dryly and said, "General Manager Liu agrees with the additional issuance, and Miss Zhou also agrees with the additional issuance, but improvements need to be made first." Pang Yudandan said.
Said, "Posting tickets is the foundation for the future development of Yinzhuang. It is an urgent matter, but I
I believe in your judgment, so I will postpone the large-scale issuance, but Yangzhou and Nanjing can slightly increase the issuance and increase the quota to 20,000 to fully test it."
After he said that, Zhou Yueru did not respond, and the conference room was quiet for a while. Pang Yu saw that there was a slight silence, and when he was about to announce the end of the meeting, Zhou Yueru slowly raised his head, "When I was making paper, I heard that it was about treasure banknotes, and I pasted the stamps with one
A piece of paper contained dozens of taels of silver, which was almost the same as a treasure banknote. In the end, no one wanted to use it.
There is a lot of gold and silver, and the general wants to use it on rivers and canals. If it is really circulated everywhere, I am worried that it will become like a treasure banknote."
"I thought about the end when I started, and Yueru has become more and more long-term."
Pang Yu nodded approvingly, and turned to look at Liu Ruogu and Jiang Fan. The two looked respectful, as if they were waiting for him to lecture.
"Then today we will talk about stamping in detail. The bank has collected treasure banknotes before. We use gold and silver on daily basis. It seems that we don't need to explain it, so I will ask you three questions first."
Pang Yu walked to the window and opened the glass window. The glazed tower in the distance to the south shone brightly in the sun. "The construction of the Great Baoen Temple began in the tenth year of Emperor Chengzu's reign. At this time, our country was newly established. After the war, the people's financial resources were very strong.
It was barren, but it still cost more than two million taels to build. During this period, Chengzu also sent an army to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and sent Zheng He on three voyages to the West. Each of them cost huge tens of thousands. Why did the people recover and business prospered in the next two hundred years, but there was no more
For such a grand event, even the bandits could not get enough money, so what method did Chengzu rely on to dig out the financial resources from the meager people to meet such a large expenditure."
