Bai Jing now regrets coming to the meeting with Emperor Hongguang because she is not prepared enough. She thinks that if she tells her ideas first and then speaks them out of Emperor Hongguang's mouth, that effect will definitely be better, but now she can't help it.

"I'll just talk about the key points!" Bai Jing looked at Emperor Hongguang, "The emperor told me some of the current situation. I have sorted out three suggestions, and they are measures to be implemented immediately. First, to solve the emptiness of the treasury, you must first issue national debts. As the name suggests, it means that the court borrows from rich people. Of course, there are many explanations for this word "borrow". In short, it is to raise a sum of silver to deal with the current difficulties. The term of this national debt cannot be too long, at most five to eight months. As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow well and borrow again. As long as the credit of the court can be established, the future will be easy."

"The second is about monetary reform. Now the country is circulating silver, which is hard currency, but it is extremely inconvenient to use. Therefore, a lot of silver has accumulated among the people, forming a situation where the imperial treasury is empty and the silver is hidden among the people. Therefore, it is necessary to collect all the private silver into the warehouse and issue new silver dollars and paper banknotes to replace the circulation of silver. The newly minted silver dollars can be in one or two units, and of course, it can actually have a net weight of eight to nine coins, so that people can prevent people from dissolving the silver dollars. This process must be gradual, otherwise it may be difficult to continue."

"After these two reforms, the imperial treasury will definitely be very full. At this time, a central bank can be formed. The central bank can effectively mediate financial problems. The later currency financial reform must be completed by the central bank, and the authority of the central bank must be used to crack down on private money shops to prevent private money minting...!"

What Bai Jing said was already quite easy to understand, but Emperor Hongguang still couldn't understand it. Wang Duo and others could understand at most one-third of the thunder. However, they heard the meaning of a court playing the role of a robber.

"Can these be done together?" I understand that Bai Jing's measures will definitely achieve unexpected results. At least her reforms can make the court rich and spend money, and many things will be alive after having money.

"I just arranged the order when I said it. These are measures that can be implemented immediately. There are many things I haven't thought about. I will write down a complete plan in a few days." Bai Jing felt that she was useless. She was not as nervous as she was today before!

I asked Bai Jing to step down and look at Wang Duo and others, "You guys may have a lot of things that I don't understand, but then again, this silver is not born with me, it's all created by humans! It's better to change it. The Taifu, the tools for casting silver dollars will be handed over to the Ministry of Works to make it. I will draw a prototype of the silver dollars later. The Taifu will see how it can be made and it will be beautiful."

Wang Duo coughed, "Your Majesty, what the Empress said seems to be a bit inappropriate. Forcibly borrowing money may cause unpredictable consequences!" Wang Duo did not object to exchange silver dollars for silver, but issuing so-called national debt is not easy to deal with, and no one wants to exchange silver for a piece of paper!

"I know there is a difficulty in this matter, but there is no better solution. The loan period of the first treasury bond is set to five months. By then, the silver dollar has been minted and circulated, and then the silver dollar can be used to repay the silver. It can not only fulfill the credit of the court but also pay less money. The most urgent task is to collect the private silver. I will arrange this matter later in the morning. New things must have a new look. The matter of this treasury will start with all my dear friends!" I saw that Wang Duo and others no longer had any objections. It is also very important for the king and minister to be united.

There were so many things to be solved in the morning court. First, we arranged a new mansion for the Duke of Qian. We waited until Mu Jianlin thanked him for his gratitude and retreated before we started the real morning court.

I looked at the ministers and generals who were separated from each other at some point, "I have several appointments this morning, with Gao Di as the right minister of the Ministry of War, Jin Shenghuan as the left minister, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu as the department of the Ministry of War...!" After I made up for the empty positions in the Ministry of War, I suddenly felt that this was not a long-term solution. It seems that Bai Jing's suggestions have inspired me. Reform should be carried out in any aspect, and the reform of the army seems to have to be put on the agenda.

When I threw out Bai Jing's theory, the court officials were obviously not mentally prepared. Except for Wang Duo and others, Gao Di and other military generals felt that they could not understand. "Gao Di, let you handle the national debt. You order 10,000 troops from the officials in Nanjing and wealthy families with family backgrounds. Yu Aiqing, the Ministry of Revenue must send personnel to accompany you to register and register throughout the process. The debts borrowed must be recorded exactly. Gao Di, if something greedy happens, I will cut your head!" Although this is suspected of being forced to levy and extortion in the country, I have no other way to make someone pay to buy a treasury certificate that is simply unrealistic.

Gao Di naturally unconditionally carried out Emperor Hongguang's orders, "Don't worry, the emperor, the ministers must be strict with each other. Anyone who dares to hide private extortion will be killed no matter who they are." Gao Di, who has lost his father, seems to be more steady and less impetuous than before.

"When I have accumulated some silver in the treasury, I will start working on it after I have accumulated some silver in the treasury. Five months later, silver currency other than silver dollars is not allowed to be used in the market or in the homes. The silver hidden in my home must be exchanged into silver dollars at the central bank for use and circulation. Regarding the exchange ratio between gold and silver dollars, the Ministry of Revenue will be formulated by the Ministry of Revenue." I remember that gold seems very important to banks. It seems that I have to ask Bai Jing for advice on this issue afterwards.

I have to find a way to repay the "kindness" that I owe Qian Qianyi. After the morning court, I called my Minister of Rites Hou Fangyu to the imperial study room. "Hou Aiqing, I want you to go to Shandong to serve as the governor of Shandong. Governor of Shandong military and political affairs. I wonder if Hou Aiqing has different opinions?" Qian Qianyi's most suitable position is Hou Fangyu's current position. Anyway, the Minister of Rites is a false title and does not have much power. It is better to use Hou Fangyu in the place where he should be used. Looking at his achievements over the past period, he is still a relatively capable person.

Hou Fangyu was stunned. Although the position of Minister of Rites was very decent, it was far less powerful than that of the chief officials in power. Emperor Hongguang transferred him to Shandong as governor and became a little excited. Young people wanted to do some earth-shaking things. Shandong is now a good place to make achievements, so Hou Fangyu happily agreed, "I am very frightened by the emperor's trust in Chaozong, but I am afraid that Chaozong will not do well."

"Don't worry about Chaozong. Shandong has made great progress under Zuo Maodi's management. I will let Ainengqi lead 20,000 troops to follow you into Shandong. It is necessary to gather all the troops in Shandong under the management of the court. I read a note from Zuo Maodi when I saw Zuo Maodi's local armed forces in Shandong. On the surface, they obeyed the command of the court, but some people also communicated with the Qing Tartars. Chaozong must kill this momentum. You might as well kill a few to warn others." Shandong is the gateway to Nanjing. Although Zuo Maodi stabilized the situation in Shandong, Linqing, Wucheng and other places were already under the control of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the main force of the Qing Dynasty returned to Beijing, and the strength of the Qing Dynasty was likely to change greatly.

When Hou Fangyu came out of the imperial study, he felt that his body suddenly became much lighter. He was full of confidence and thought that he would definitely achieve some results when he went to Shandong. It would not be impossible to be a marquis and a prime minister at that time.

"What? What happened?" After Hou Fangyu returned home, he found that Li Xiangjun was wearing a plain outfit and a white mourning flower on his chest. This surprised him a little. He had never heard of something happening to his family!

Although Li Xiangjun got what he wanted and lived with Hou Lang, she was like Liu Rushi, but she was a concubine. When she heard Fang Yu's words, she sighed quietly, "Rushi died of illness, I also learned this morning. I heard that she had been pregnant for several months, alas!" Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi have always had a good relationship. How could she not be sad about Liu Rushi's death?

Hou Fangyu said, "Since ancient times, beautiful women are so poor. I said Qian Qianyi's expression today is a bit strange. So that's the case. When Miss Liu goes away, I'm afraid that Qian Qianyi is not the only one!" Hou Fangyu knew that Liu Rushi is very popular in Meixianglou, and many scholars admire Liu Rushi's talent and personality. It seems that there will definitely be more works of missing the beauty in the next issue of the Jinling weekly magazine.

"What! Master is going to Shandong?" Li Xiangjun heard Fang Yu say that Emperor Hongguang was a little surprised by his appointment, "When will you leave?"

Hou Fangyu calculated, "The family can't go there for the time being. I will move the family when they settle down. I originally wanted to take you there, but I was very tired all the way. Besides, it wouldn't be nice to have a large army accompany me and go out. I'll send someone to come back to pick up my family after I've been busy in Shandong for a while!" Although Hou Fangyu did not accept Li Xiangjun as his official wife, his love for Li Xiangjun was not vague at all.

Sitting on the chair, I was blinded by someone from behind, "Have you had lunch?" Only Han Shuang dared to treat me like this, took away both hands on her face and brought Han Shuang into her arms, "Where is your sister?"

Han Shuang snuggled on Emperor Hongguang's legs with a smile, "Sister is behind! Emperor, do you think I have any changes?" As he said that, Han Shuang looked at Emperor Hongguang with hope.

I looked at Han Shuang and didn't think there was something different. I reached out and scraped her nose, "What's the change? Why didn't I see it?"

Han Shuangyi pouted, "I'm wearing earlobes! The emperor didn't look at it carefully at all."

I woke up by Han Shuang so much and found that there were a pair of small earrings on her earlobe. I didn’t pay attention to this place before. “No, Shuang’er’s earrings are so beautiful, but I don’t like it. It’s very uncomfortable to hold Shuang’er’s earlobe in her in her earlobe!”

Han Shuang blushed and kissed Emperor Hongguang's face, "I will take it off tonight, Master! When will you...!"

"Emperor! Stuart is back!" Tian Rong quickly walked to Emperor Hongguang to report the news. Stuart, who left Nanjing before Emperor Hongguang, finally returned eleven months after leaving China.
