A few days later, notices were posted all over Fuzhou, calling for the relocation of the people of Fuzhou to the Northwest Protectorate.
Anyone who voluntarily moved to the Northwest Protectorate could get land.
In addition to granting land, not only were taxes exempted for three years, but there were also subsidies in cash and grain.
Those who wish to move to the Northwest Protectorate can first register in various places and wait for the collective migration after the autumn harvest this year.
In addition, Yun Zheng also carried out a major overhaul of Fuzhou's officialdom.
Tuohuan officially took over the post of governor of Fuzhou, and officials of various counties were also adjusted. Many county officials were transferred from their original counties. Some were promoted, some were transferred horizontally, and some were demoted.
Although Yun Zheng said that it was just a temporary adjustment and the final result would be subject to the approval of the court, everyone knew that Yun Zheng's adjustment was the final result.
Yun Zheng did not promote sweet potatoes throughout Fuzhou. He planned to promote them first in Sifang County and Jingyang Prefecture, and in Shuobei, all areas south of Baishui River would also be promoted.
While Yun Zheng was busy governing Fuzhou, Yun Li also received a letter sent back by Yang Huizhou's guards.
Two letters.
...
...
One was written by Yun Zheng and the other was written by Yang Huizhou.
Yun Zheng's letter was very simple, just asking him for the silver, food, and shipbuilding craftsmen he had promised.
But Yang Huizhou's letter was a letter asking for help.
Yun Li has been a little overwhelmed these days because of the forcible weakening of the families and clans.
After receiving these two letters, Yun Li felt even worse.
"Beast! This beast!"
Yun Li was so angry that he was out of breath. He grabbed the inkstone on the table and was about to smash it.
However, at the moment when he was about to smash it, Yun Li still held back.
Just this inkstone costs nearly a thousand taels of silver.
The prince is now so poor that he has almost no money left for his reward, and he is also burdened with a huge amount of foreign debt.
It was such a waste for him to smash the inkstone like this.
"call……"
Yun Li took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the urge to smash things around. He slowly put down the inkstone and began to think silently in his heart.
How could Yang Huizhou be caught so easily?
Is it that the bastard Lao Liu has been arranging people to keep an eye on the Su family, or is there some other reason?
If it is the former, it is still easy to deal with.
If it's the latter, then it would be a bit of a rush.
Previously, when they were in Sifang County, he and Emperor Wen both suspected that there were spies around them.
After returning to the imperial city, he checked it several times.
Several suspicious eunuchs were also executed.
But until now, he has not really determined who the spy is.
Yang Huizhou's arrest this time forced him to once again wonder whether there were any spies around him.
After thinking for a while, Yun Li rubbed his head with a headache.
Nowadays, it seems that there are only a few officials in the Prince's Mansion whom he can completely trust.
Although he knew that it was wrong to doubt the people around him, he still couldn't help but doubt them.
He would always feel uneasy unless he found the real spy.
After thinking for a while, Yun Li walked out of the room with a dark face and shouted sternly: "Come here, call Xu Shifu, Gu Xiu, Cui Wenjing..."
Yun Li said the names of five people in one breath.
Among these five people, except Cui Wenjing, all of them are people he completely trusts.
Half an hour later, the five people rushed to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as they saw Yun Li's expression, the five people knew that something bad was going to happen again.
Yun Li hasn't had a happy day these days.
As Yun Li gradually increased his efforts to weaken the powerful families and clans, the Dagan Dynasty was already showing signs of chaos.
Even those who originally supported weakening the powerful families and clans gradually changed their stance and reported to Yun Li, asking him not to act too hastily. Even if they wanted to weaken the powerful families and clans, they should do it step by step.
But Yun Li was now worried all the time that Yun Zheng would rebel. He always felt that he didn't have much time left. Moreover, he had tasted the sweetness of having his property confiscated, so he simply didn't listen to the advice of his ministers.
Fortunately, there are veteran generals such as Xue Che, Xiao Wanchou and Zhao Ji in the army, so the court's army is not in chaos for the time being.
But if this continues, I'm afraid the army will start to become chaotic.
Once large-scale unrest breaks out in the army, chaos will soon break out across the country.
"Look at them all!"
Yun Li, with a gloomy face, handed the two letters on the table to the five people to read.
The five people did not dare to delay and immediately gathered together to check the contents of the letter.
"Three million taels of silver, two million dan of grain, and a thousand shipbuilding craftsmen. He really dares to ask for it..."
"Give it to me! What if you don't? Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agree to this?"
"Even if you agree, you can still delay it for a while!"
"Why delay? If we delay any longer, it will be too late to plant potatoes!"
"I'm afraid we have to pay Yang Huizhou's ransom. If he really kills Yang Huizhou, it will be bad for your reputation..."
Before Yun Li asked any questions, the five of them started discussing.
It will definitely be good for them if they continue to drag it out.
But the problem is, Yun Zheng has already reminded them in the letter that if they don't send the things Yun Zheng wants to Fuzhou, the time for sweet potato breeding will be over, and if they want sweet potatoes again, they will have to wait until next year.
However, while the five people were anxious, Yun Li smiled and said, "Of course we have to give it to them. The potatoes must be brought into the country! I didn't ask you to come here to discuss whether to delay or not! I have something to ask you. I want to hear your opinions."
After listening to Yun Li's words, the five people showed doubts.
Yun Li is laughing again?
He still has the mood to laugh?
Facing the gazes of the five people, Yun Li smiled and looked at Xu Shifu, "Uncle, didn't you say that you seized more than 800,000 taels of counterfeit silver during the raid a few days ago? Have you destroyed the counterfeit silver?"
Fake silver?
Xu Shifu was slightly stunned.
Where did the fake silver come from?
What exactly does Yun Li want to do?
After a brief moment of distraction, Xu Shifu shook his head and said, "It hasn't been destroyed yet."
"That's good!"
Yun Li smiled and said, "I want to give this fake silver worth more than 800,000 taels to that bastard Lao Liu. What do you think?"
After hearing Yun Li's words, the five people's faces changed color at the same time.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
Yun Li's father-in-law Gu Xiu was the first to speak out in opposition, "If Yun Zheng knew about the fake silver, I'm afraid it would give Yun Zheng an excuse to attack, causing the court to suffer more losses! Moreover, if a large amount of fake silver flows into other places in the interior, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the silver price on the market, and even a situation where silver is cheap and money is expensive..."
"Don't worry, father-in-law."
Yun Li interrupted Gu Xiu and said with a smile: "I have seen those fake silvers. They are very well imitated. If it weren't for my uncle's guidance, even I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Old Six would never be able to recognize them!"
"What if the fake silver flows into other places in the interior?" Gu Xiu said, "If that happens, the imperial court will be like killing 300 enemies but losing 1,000 of its own!"
Is there more silver in the entire court or in Shuobei?
In the end, who will be most affected?
Yun Li has become the Crown Prince Regent, how come he doesn’t even understand this principle?
"Don't worry, even if counterfeit silver flows into the country, it will only be a very small amount!"
Yun Li said confidently: "I can be sure that as long as that bastard Lao Liu can't recognize the fake silver, the fake silver will basically flow into Shuobei and Northwest Protectorate!"
"this……"
Gu Xiu was speechless. He wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't know how.
Guarantee, how can he guarantee it?
Although he also hated Yun Zheng and wanted to cut him into pieces, he couldn't do that!
The risk of this matter is too great!
It's really not worth taking such a risk for 800,000 taels of silver.
Once chaos occurs in the monetary system, the court will have to spend more than 800,000 taels of silver to stabilize the currency exchange rate!
"You can give it a try! That batch of silver was indeed very well counterfeited. If I hadn't dealt with silver for half my life, I would have had a hard time telling the real thing from the fake!"
At this time, Xu Shifu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"you……"
Gu Xiu looked at Xu Shifu in astonishment.
Yun Li didn't understand the consequences of monetary chaos, so how could Xu Shifu, the Minister of Revenue, not understand?
Are they all crazy?
