Yang Shen did not comment on Zhu Hao's opinions in person.
But Zhu Hao knew that Yang Shen must have listened to his words.
The only feasible solution for the emperor to start mining is to occupy the existing coal mines of the nobles, so that they can be put into production at any time. Now that I have told you the clues, why don't you hurry up and come up with a countermeasure?
As for the coal mine auction... I'm just giving you an introduction. I don't expect you to listen, but it will generally develop in this direction.
Even if you don't mention it, Zhu Si will. Who makes the new emperor's opinions based on my will?
Yang Shen met Yang Tinghe that night and told Zhu Hao his opinion.
Yang Shen’s final analysis: “What Jingdao said is reasonable. His Majesty is very high-spirited and does not want to follow the old system. He wants to isolate the internal government system from the court. He started with the imperial village before, but now he wants to open a kiln, but there are no such experts around him.
, even if there is... it is not easy to open a good coal kiln in the capital city? It must be based on the existing coal kilns owned by nobles and wealthy businessmen. "
"Um."
Regarding his son's analysis, Yang Tinghe felt that it made sense, nodded in agreement, and then began to think hard about countermeasures.
Yang Shen was encouraged and continued to express Zhu Hao's views.
"It turned out that there was an arson case, and His Majesty had taken Zhang's coal mine as his own. Unexpectedly, Zhang was not willing to harm his own interests, so he sent his servants to fight with the royal guards, making the matter bigger... His Majesty was worried that the matter was out of control, so he wanted to start from
Use part of the profits from the coal mine output as rent to put an end to the trouble!"
Yang Tinghe put down the booklet in his hand and looked at his son seriously: "Is this what Zhu Hao told you?"
Yang Shen said: "Some are, and some are my own thoughts."
Doesn’t your son have no respect for face?
With such an awesome overall analysis, you actually ask your son if all the advice comes from outsiders? Even if it is, I can’t admit it!
"It seems that Zhu Hao does have some unconventional ideas."
Yang Tinghe commented.
Yang Shen knew very well that considering his father's prejudice against Zhu Hao, being able to say this was considered a high compliment to Zhu Hao.
Yang Shen asked: "Father, do we really want to petition your Majesty to sell the coal mines of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou in Xishan? In order to disrupt your Majesty's plan to open a mine?"
"talk later."
Even if Yang Tinghe thinks Yang Shen's analysis is reasonable, he still will not easily adopt this view.
Let the court sell the mines?
This may be a very bad start. Yang Tinghe is cautious by nature and will not easily change the old rules and regulations.
…
…
But many things do not change according to Yang Tinghe's will.
Only two days later, Zhu Si once again summoned Yang Tinghe to Qianqing Palace alone and talked about many things, including mining.
Zhu Si sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou would actually send people to Xishan to fight with the imperial guards and weapons I sent. Such disregard for the laws of the court is simply shameless! Mr. Yang Ge thinks that those coal mines
, should I return his two brothers?"
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he was convinced by Zhu Hao and his son.
This little emperor really cares about the coal mine owned by the Zhang brothers, so he asked me seriously if I wanted to return it?
You are humiliating yourself, do you know that?
Yang Tinghe said: "After all, the coal mines are opened by the people. If your Majesty insists on closing them to the imperial court, I am afraid that all the miners in the world will be in danger.
"Your Majesty is still cautious when it comes to competing for the interests of the people. Since Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Marquis have always been honorable ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they can be judged for their crimes and punished according to law. It is not appropriate to involve others."
Do you have the nerve to ask me if I want to rob the Zhang family’s coal mine?
Even if the Zhang brothers are no longer a toy, I, an old man like me, will still help them guard the coal mine.
And I have a lot of reasons to help you retreat. If you dare to act recklessly, you can try it!
Just the saliva from Chao Ye can drown you!
Don't make it last until you, the emperor, have just ascended the throne and been scorned by the world, just like your cheap brother!
Zhu Si was a little angry: "But I asked, the craftsmen and laborers used in the Zhangjia coal mine were all robbed from the people. In this case of arson and violence, many of the stewards hired by the two families and the servants of the family were
If it is involved, even if the coal mine is returned, it will be difficult to resume work in a short time.
"My idea is that it is better to give them a certain amount of rent and promise a certain amount of benefits every year. These two coal mines may be owned by the imperial court... Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
He was actually praised by his son again.
Yang Tinghe thought to himself, the more enthusiastic you, the little emperor, are about the Zhang family's coal mine and the more you want to take it for yourself, the more serious the problem is, and the less I can let you succeed.
Time and time again, I have allowed you to take advantage and harm the interests of civil servants. This time, I cannot let you act according to your temper. As my son Yongxiu said, are you allowed to separate the inner government from the imperial court and no longer be subject to the imperial court?
control?
Beautiful thought!
Yang Tinghe said seriously: "Your Majesty, the coal mine is originally owned by Zhang's relatives. Even if we give them rent money, it will inevitably be said that the imperial court has taken advantage of it."
"Hey, Mr. Yang Ge, can't I get the coal mine back?"
Zhu Si became anxious and asked with a blushing face.
Your son didn't explain Zhu Hao's suggestion to you?
Or are you just a stubborn person who doesn't want to act on other people's opinions?
Can't you just say quickly and let the court auction the Zhang family's coal mine so that I can vent my anger and continue this drama?
Zhu Si and Zhu Hao had already discussed it, and they planned to get Yang Tinghe to agree to the auction of the coal mine.
Yang Tinghe continued to shake his head: "No!"
Zhu Si sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to take some unconventional measures... I am going to take tens of thousands of taels of silver from the inner government and buy their coal mines in Xishan directly from the hands of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou!"
"
It's not okay to seize it by force. You civil servants say it's a swindle and robbery, but it's not okay to give money for rent. You say it's unfair to bully the small one.
Then I can just buy it directly, right?
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he discovered that the young emperor was determined to win the coal mine. If the emperor really went to discuss the purchase of the mine with the Zhang brothers in private, the Zhang brothers knew that they could not reopen the business and wanted to quickly get rid of the crime of armed fighting.
Just as the little emperor wants, the little emperor's previous series of conspiracies will succeed.
Yang Tinghe sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty wants to open a coal kiln in Xishan. If you really need an existing coal kiln as a starting point, you should not buy it from your honorary minister at a low price."
Zhu Sidao: "Who said I would give them a low price? I'll give them the market price, right?"
Yang Tinghe said: "The so-called value is not determined by the imperial court. Even if enough money is given, the people will discuss the transaction as illegal and suspected of robbery. It is better to ask Zhang's two relatives for their opinions. If they really
If you intend to sell it, the Ministry of Industry must take charge of the sale. The one with the highest price will get it. It is not appropriate for the court to personally come forward. Your Majesty will send someone to buy it secretly, and the people will have no objection."
"How does this work?"
Zhu Si's face was full of shame and annoyance.
My heart is filled with joy.
I've been talking around the bush with you for a long time, but you finally got into your pocket!
You made me play so hard!
You old fox, no matter how shrewd you are, haven't you fallen into a trap?
Yang Tinghe said sternly: "Your Majesty, everything must be done in accordance with the laws of the court, and no random behavior is allowed. The reputation of the royal family and the court must not be damaged."
Zhu Si looked very angry. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Then how can we ensure that the imperial court can take down the coal mine? When the money comes out of the government, Mr. Yang Ge will not stop it, right?"
Yang Tinghe said: "As long as the price is reasonable, I have no objection."
"Okay, let's do it this way. I don't believe it, someone really dares to challenge me!"
Zhu Si's face was full of confidence.
Although the royal family did not know the purpose of the purchase, as long as there is a little bit of news, it is expected that private merchants will not dare to bid, and they will still find it at a low price.
This is probably what the expression means.
But Zhu Si knows very well that the coal mines of the Zhang brothers are garbage and worthless. Zhu Hao has already said that to open a coal mine, there is no need for those old, dangerous and low-yield coal mines. Now they are just a show for outsiders.
look.
…
…
Yang Tinghe saw Zhu Si and felt very depressed.
Now the little emperor has more and more ideas, and he is a little overwhelmed to deal with them.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, he had two important things to do at the moment regarding the emperor's purchase of a mine. One was to meet Sun Jiao, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Zhao Huang, the Minister of Industry, to explain to them and explain to Zhao Huang...
…There is no way the emperor’s people can be allowed to buy the coal mine.
Sun Jiao is easy to talk to.
Zhao Huang learned that the emperor wanted to sell off the coal mines owned by the Zhang brothers and that he would sell and buy them himself. However, Yang Tinghe did not want the emperor to buy them. He immediately asked with a surprised look on his face: "If someone really spreads the word, saying that there is someone behind the scenes."
If people from the imperial court are present, how can the merchants who go to the auction dare to bid?"
Yang Tinghe narrowed his eyes and said: "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to let the people below remember the principles I gave!"
Zhao Huang probably heard that Yang Tinghe would definitely be able to find someone to bid, but Yang Tinghe didn't say who he should look for, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow his instructions.
…
…
One day later.
Zhu Hao, accompanied by Lu Song and Jiang Lun, went to Xizhimen to wait for Tang Yin who returned to the city.
Tang Yin was surprised to see Zhu Hao with a few people, and asked: "I am the target of public criticism right now. There are many people here, so are you not afraid of being bumped into?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands and said with a smile: "I have no choice. I was ordered to act as an undercover agent. No one will say anything to whoever I walk with now."
Tang Yin was quite speechless after hearing this.
Yang Ting and his son actually asked Zhu Hao to go back and inquire about the new emperor's camp? Then Zhu Hao, a "double-faced man", is really like a duck in water. He can almost walk sideways in the capital. In most cases, there is no need to hide.
This identity is simply invincible.
On the carriage entering the city.
Lu Song drove, and Zhu Hao and Tang Yin shared the ride.
Tang Yin said: "I heard on the way back that you want people to bid for the Zhang family's coal mine. Isn't the coal mine worthless? Why do you want to cause so many things?"
Zhu Hao said sternly: "It is you, sir, who will give me the answer... Let me tell you clearly, my purpose for doing all this is to prepare for the imperial court to collect mining taxes!"
"ah?"
Tang Yin was confused for a moment. Could this matter be related to the mining tax collection?
After thinking carefully, Tang Yin asked again: "If no one else bids, wouldn't we still have to spend money to buy those dilapidated coal mines of the Zhang family?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "No, you don't have the financial support to support Mr. Yang Ge? He will definitely find someone to bid for it, and the bid will be higher than ours. Then... haha. Just wait and see the good show."
In the last 12 hours of October, the emperor is asking for a wave of subscriptions and monthly passes! Thank you!
