Extra Three Reform
Before the morning court session began, Fuman personally came to the side hall next to the Purple Palace and conveyed the emperor's oral instructions to the ministers.
"What! The emperor won't attend the morning court today!" a censor said excitedly.
Fuman bowed slightly without saying a word. Lord Zhang sat at the top with no expression on his face.
He took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "Thank you, Master Fuman, for presenting this memorial on my behalf."
Fu Man took the memorial with both hands and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord."
As soon as Fu Man left, the censor who had just spoken ran to Zhang Ge Lao and complained, "Look at the emperor, he refuses to attend court when he's angry. How can we continue like this?"
Zhang Ge Lao glanced at him and said, "In that case, for the sake of Dayin's kingdom, Lord Yuan should say less!" After that, he stood up and walked out of the side hall.
Yuan Jiang looked at Zhang Ge Lao's back and muttered in a low voice: Isn't he doing this for the country?
As soon as Fuman returned, he presented the memorial to Rongye.
Rong Ye drank some milk tea while reading the memorial.
He doesn't like sweets, but for some reason, the milk tea made by his frost tastes delicious.
Xie Shuangbai heard the noise, tied up her long hair, put on a pink and white gold-woven robe, and walked over.
Rong Ye saw him getting up and quickly pulled him back, "Why are your hands so cold?"
He saw the red mark on Xie Shuangbai's neck and couldn't help but touch it. "Are you okay?"
It would have been fine if Rong Ye hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Xie Shuangbai turned around and squinted at him with his eyes slightly raised, "How dare you say that!"
Rong Ye touched his nose. It was indeed Meng Wang who was reckless yesterday. In the end, it was simply... it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was too much.
He quickly admitted his mistake, "Shuang'er, your husband is wrong."
Xie Shuangbai said awkwardly, "Don't look at those... weird things anymore!"
Rong Ye smiled when he heard this, hugged him in his arms, and kissed his fair face, "Didn't you like it yesterday?"
Xie Shuangbai quickly covered his mouth, his face flushed with shame, "You...don't say it."
Rong Ye kissed the palm of his hand, and Xie Shuangbai quickly pushed him away: "I still feel pain!"
Rong Ye said distressedly: "Let's go see the imperial physician another day. We can't keep going like this."
Rong Ye also took great pains for his own lifelong happiness.
Xie Shuangbai lowered his eyes and whispered, "I was born weak. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, my health would be even worse."
He looked at Rong Ye and said softly, "Drinking spiritual spring water is better than taking medicine!"
Xie Shuangbai didn't want to drink those bitter medicines.
Rong Ye pinched his thin wrist and remained silent.
He also knew that what Xie Shuangbai said was right. Ever since he placed spiritual spring beads in the wells of Ronghua Palace, they drank spiritual spring water every day.
He could feel that his body was indeed much better than before, especially the hidden injuries he had suffered before, which were slowly healing.
His physical strength now is comparable to that when he was eighteen, otherwise he would not have hurt his baby.
Xie Shuangbai glanced at the memorial on the table and asked, "Whose memorial is it?"
"From Elder Zhang."
He took it and looked at it. "Master Zhang suggested changing the reign title?"
Rong Ye hummed, "I mentioned this to the elder before, but I didn't expect him to submit a memorial so quickly. He even wrote down a few alternative reign titles."
Xie Shuangbai read out, "Yongshun, Anshun, Ding'an, Anping." He looked at Rong Ye: "Which one do you like?"
"This." Rong Ye said.
Xie Shuangbai nodded. "It has a good meaning and is easy to pronounce."
Rongye said, "Since you like it, let's use this."
Xie Shuangbai thought of something, "What are you going to do with the money from the Da'an era?"
"If you continue to use it, it will cause panic. If you have more than 100 taels, you can go to the government office to exchange it for new coins."
Xie Shuangbai said worriedly, "The Great Yin Dynasty is vast, and the staff of the various prefectures and counties are uneven. Why not take this opportunity to open central silver shops in various places?"
Rong Ye was puzzled: "Central Silver House?"
Xie Shuangbai explained: "Well, there must be a silver shop belonging to the government, and the economic lifeline must be in our own hands.
Having a state-controlled silver shop means we won’t panic if an economic crisis or large-scale financial changes occur.
It would be best to encourage everyone to withdraw money from the silver shop, so that officials in various places can be supervised."
Rong Ye was thinking, ever since he had reaped the benefits of trade in the border trade zone.
I understand the importance of money, and if a country wants to be strong, it needs more money.
"Leave this matter to Shaoqing."
Xie Shuangbai had no objection. Since Rong Ye proposed this person, it meant that he could trust him.
He went on to say: “All existing large silver shops must register with the Central Silver Shop and undergo review.
They need to report to the Central Silver House every quarter, which not only supervises them but also prevents them from "misusing" the money.
The ring tapped the table repeatedly, and Rong Ye understood the ins and outs of this matter. Once the Central Silver Shop was opened, it was estimated that many more termites would be dug out.
"That's a good suggestion. I'll issue an order at court tomorrow morning."
The next morning at court, Rongye looked at the ministers and said:
"I read the memorial submitted by Lord Zhang yesterday. It is indeed time to change the reign title. I have approved it.
The reign title was set as Yongshun, and the new reign title was adopted in the following year, implying that the Great Yin Dynasty would be prosperous forever.
The ministers were about to kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor" three times, but Rong Ye raised his hand to stop them: "There is one more thing. Nie Shaoqing, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has received the imperial edict."
Nie Shaoqing was stunned and hurried out.
"I order you to quickly establish central silver houses in key locations in Dayin, issue new coins, collect old coins, and re-coin them.
Starting next month, all major silver shops will have to register with the Central Silver Shop, and those that fail to register will be closed down.
From now on, newly opened silver shops must operate under the supervision of the Central Silver Shop. You can find out the specific regulations after leaving the court and visiting the Imperial Study."
The more Nie Shaoqing listened, the more his hands trembled. He had worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, so how could he not understand the significance of this move?
He knelt down to express his gratitude and said, "I will definitely live up to your grace and do my job well."
Rong Ye hummed, glanced at Fu Man, and Fu Man shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
The ministers were so shocked by Rong Ye's order that they had not yet recovered from their shock. They only saw a dragon robe disappear from their sight.
Some people congratulated Nie Shaoqing for taking on such a big task.
Some were worried about their own business, and for a moment everyone in the court had different thoughts.
The Minister of Revenue lowered his eyes and instructed, "Minister Nie, the Emperor values you highly, so you must not be careless in your work."
Nie Shaoqing said respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency."
The Minister of Revenue nodded and left the Purple Palace.
Nie Shaoqing looked at his back with narrowed eyes.
Nie Hai looked at him, thought of his own son, and sighed inwardly.
Shaoli is just stupid, not as smart as Shaoqing. Who could have guessed that he would support Prince Liang so early in the morning!
This nephew looks gentle and polite, but unexpectedly he is very scheming. Just like his second brother, he is an old fox!
It is true that like father, like son!
