Chapter 459: Bank run strategy!
Nourish the heart in the palace.
Yun Fuyao is wearing a light yellow brocade dress, showing her scholarly temperament and intellectual beauty.
She walked out of the side hall with light steps and bowed slightly.
"His Majesty."
Ye Chen looked at Yun Fuyao and said, "Fuyao, now I know that these vegetable vendors are passing information to Yang Dechang and contacting the ministers. I want to ban them directly or find someone to replace them. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Yun Fuyao frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Ye Chen, and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister can still communicate directly with other officials. Even without these vegetable vendors, he can still understand the situation in the capital."
"The only thing we need to cut off is the connection between these vegetable vendors and other noble residences outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, to prevent Yang Dechang from colluding with others in secret."
"I have two plans. First, the government will directly control these vegetable vendors. Second, we will use financial resources to support another vegetable vendor and squeeze it out of business."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.
This is the good thing about having wise counselors.
No matter what happens, there is always someone to help him.
Don't just think on your own.
It can also find out the gaps and shortcomings, combine the wisdom of both people, and find the best solution.
"If the government were to take direct control, it would quickly cut off Yang Dechang's information channels, but this approach would be too direct and might cause dissatisfaction among other nobles, and Yang Dechang would directly revolt. Using financial power to squeeze the bank would consume a great deal of time and resources."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, his face as deep as the abyss, but he was constantly calculating the pros and cons.
After a moment, he made up his mind and looked determined.
"Fuyao, I have decided to adopt the second option. Fuyao, I will leave this matter to you and Murong Yan to discuss and formulate an implementation plan, and then submit it to me for review."
Ye Chen is still very rich now.
After all, the Ministry of Revenue had been taken back by him, as well as the paper and flour businesses.
I am not afraid of the cost of supporting merchants.
"promise"
Yun Fuyao bowed slightly, and when she went to the side hall again.
Ye Chen looked at Cheng En.
"Cheng'en, have the Supervisory Office keep a close eye on this matter. I want to see how the business operations of the people of Dayu are really going on."
As the economic and political center of the entire dynasty, the capital city can give you a glimpse of the whole picture.
Through this incident, Ye Chen was able to roughly understand the business environment in Dayu.
Cheng En responded respectfully, "I obey your command."
Ye Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Coming from a later generation, he deeply understood the power of business.
Through prosperous commerce, we can obtain sophisticated armor, weapons and inexhaustible food, which are the foundation for expanding territory.
In fact, Dayu collected very little commercial tax, and almost no commercial tax from various states.
The main reason is that in ancient times when there was no surveillance, it was too easy for merchants to evade taxes.
In addition, there is collusion between officials and businessmen in many places, and some officials are even big businessmen.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to collect commercial taxes.
Only through commercial permits, which were only issued in the capital, could some money be received.
Ye Chen was determined to change this situation.
"Cheng'en, go tell the Queen Mother that I will be attending court tomorrow. The reason for this is that I want to have a good talk with those nobles who are hiding the Bingzhou soldiers."
The rectification of commercial taxes can wait until later.
Ye Chen felt that it was more urgent to deal with these nobles who harbored evil intentions first.
After all, it concerns the imperial examination.
"According to the order."
Cheng'en retreated, and Ye Chen continued to handle government affairs.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Dechang sat in his study with a gloomy expression.
He had just learned the news that the Bingzhou troops had been annihilated.
After a moment's silence, he immediately said to the Prime Minister's Housekeeper beside him, "Inform all the noble families who have secretly hidden Bingzhou soldiers to be cautious."
"The little emperor must have remembered you all. Please tone down your actions."
Yang Dechang's voice was low and majestic.
His face looked very bad and he felt a little irritated.
These aristocratic families are always restless and always cause trouble for him.
He himself is able to keep his composure, but these people always act impulsively.
He couldn't really kick these powerful families away. After all, he was able to hold power only with the support of the powerful families behind him.
Therefore, he must also try his best to protect these aristocratic families, after all, they are his foundation.
In short, if Ye Chen attacked these aristocratic families simply because they secretly hid Bingzhou soldiers, he would naturally have to say something to excuse these families.
This was not difficult for him at all, and he just shirked the responsibility by saying that the nobles didn't know.
