Chapter 1196 Political Allies(2/2)

Naturally, it was impossible for Feng Duhu to ask the Reserve Bureau to print more tickets just for a mere Caoqiao Pass.

After all, who in the world doesn’t know that it was Feng Duhu who made the money?

If there is really going to be a flood of banknotes and the people are vocal, who cares what your difficulties are, the people will definitely point the finger at Feng Duhu in the first place.

When the time comes, there is no telling whether the one in the palace will take the opportunity to cause trouble, or even those conservative aristocratic families will take the opportunity to counterattack.

What's more, Feng Duhu didn't want the notes issued by the Reserve Bureau to go the way of Zhu Baba's Ming Dynasty treasure notes - at least we have to wait until he is in the coffin, right?

Anyway, I can't control my descendants after my death. They can do whatever they want.

Even if someone in the future opens my coffin to vent their anger, it doesn't matter to me.

"Feng Duhu misunderstood, misunderstood, I didn't want the Reserve Bureau to print more bills."

"Then what does Chiang Kai-shek mean by mentioning the Reserve Bureau?"

"Zhongduhu, now that His Majesty has returned to the old capital, Guanzhong, as the capital city, should be the center of the Han Dynasty, right?"

"That's right."

"However, Guanzhong cannot participate in the circulation of Han's money. Has the Central Protector ever thought about what the sergeants in Guan would think?"

Feng Duhu was startled.

Jiang Wan said slowly:

"When the Central Protector established the Reserve Bureau, the Han Dynasty was only a small part of Shu. Therefore, the Reserve Bureau had the royal family and the Xinghan Society as guarantees, so everyone believed in these notes."

"Later, when Liangzhou was recovered, the Central Governor considered the overall situation and involved the Zhang family in Dunhuang. It can be said that he had a long-term vision."

It was precisely because the Zhang family was firmly tied to the chariot of the Han Dynasty that Zhang went to the Western Regions to promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty and stayed there for several years.

In the rebellion provoked by some well-intentioned people, the Liangzhou wealthy families, represented by the Zhang family, firmly stood on the side of the Han Dynasty. These factors also contributed to the rebellion.

Jiang Wan looked at Feng Duhu with a meaningful look:

"The Central Protector has always been at odds with the Shu family, so it is understandable that the Shu family has not been allowed to participate in the Reserve Bureau."

"But we don't worry about the shortage but the inequality. Since the wealthy families in Liangzhou can participate, why can't the wealthy families in Guanzhong participate?"

"The Guandong family has always been at odds with the Yongliang clan. The great Han wants to regain the world, and the Guandong family cannot get around it."

"If the Han Dynasty Reserve Bureau involves the Liangzhou wealthy family, but the Guandong family cannot get involved, does the Central Protector intend to only rely on the support of Liangzhou to establish a foothold in the court in the future?"

The Dahan Reserve Bureau is not controlled solely by the Xinghan Hui. The Xinghan Hui holds a considerable part of the say. This can only be said to be due to the current situation.

In addition, the members of the Reserve Bureau initially included royals, a few meritorious officials, etc.

The imperial court sent supervisors.

At that time, in order to regain the hearts of the Liangzhou officials as soon as possible, and the Zhang family really understood the overall situation.

More importantly, in order to control the economic lifeline of Liangzhou as soon as possible, let bills circulate in Liangzhou.

Feng Duhu took the initiative to invite the Zhang family to become a member of the Reserve Bureau to appease the wealthy family in Liang Prefecture.

This is an honor, a recognition, and at the same time a responsibility.

Become a member of the Dahan Reserve Bureau and you can participate in the ticket printing activities.

But at the same time, we must also jointly maintain the stability of the Han economy and promote better economic development in various regions.

For example, if the Zhang family joins, the Reserve Bureau can use the Zhang family's channels to spread its business as quickly as possible.

Jiang Wan’s previous words have the most obvious meaning:

Increase the number of members of the Reserve Bureau and let the wealthy families from Bingzhou and Hedong in Guanzhong join in.

There is a saying, Jiang Wan said, in the long run, it is indeed beneficial to the country.

Increasing the number of members in these areas will not only strengthen the economic control of these three areas more deeply, but also strengthen the political control of the court over these three areas.

In the short term, a batch of grain and grass can be prepared immediately to meet urgent needs.

Because with the summer grain ready to be put into storage, it wouldn't be too difficult if the aristocratic families from the three places worked together to assemble a batch of grain that could support a small-scale battle.

But Feng Duhu did not agree immediately, he just fell silent.

After all, he is not a saint, so he needs to carefully consider the pros and cons:

"Does Mr. Jiang think that at this time, the big families in these three places can be trusted?"

These three places are not like Liangzhou, which was first blocked by Longyou, and then infiltrated and managed by Feng Duhu for several years. Finally, after the Han army advanced westward, most of them surrendered.

The Zhang family even had the feat of sending their legitimate son to the Western Regions.

Jiang Wan knew Feng Duhu's concerns, so he was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"In this matter, I can help the Central Protector to check things out."

Check?

As soon as these words came out, Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan in surprise.

Is this considered a guarantee?

"Mr. Jiang...why do you want to get involved in this kind of thing?"

Jiang Wan raised his head and looked at the empty door, with a little worry on his face:

"Because I want the Han Dynasty to prosper as soon as possible, and don't want the Han Dynasty to destroy itself due to internal strife."

He raised his hand and gently patted the back of Feng Duhu's hand:

"Mingwen, you are the successor designated by the Prime Minister. I believe in the Prime Minister and I believe in you."

"The Prime Minister must have his reasons for abandoning Wei Wenchang and using you."

Jiang Wan lowered his voice again:

"It's indeed inappropriate to act like that in the palace a few days ago, but this matter involves Mingwen's personal affairs with you and the palace, so I can't say anything."

"But using private matters to involve public affairs is crossing the line. In addition to Wei Wenchang in the army, there are also some people from Shu who are involved in this matter, both in the government and in the public."

"What they did was wrong, very wrong. So I am telling you this today because I want you to use the Reserve Bureau to win over the hearts of the big families in Bingzhou and Hedong in Guanzhong."

"In this way, it will naturally be more convenient for you to act in the court in the future. Not to mention letting them support you, it is also good to have less resistance."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wan sighed:

"The emperor is kind, but he is also too soft-hearted. Sometimes he can't make up his mind and is easily influenced by others."

"At this time, it is time for you and me to advise His Majesty, clearly, no matter what, remember not to forget the Prime Minister's instructions, remember to make a living on state affairs."

Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan's old face and was shocked.

He held Jiang Wan's somewhat withered hand and nodded heavily.

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Fei Yi and Dong Yun sitting on both sides.

"Don't worry, I won't be afraid of these words even if they fall into the ears of the palace."

"Some things, if they go too far, have to be brought up, and if they are brought up, they will be changed."

Feng Duhu actually didn't expect that Jiang Wan, who always had a good image, would actually say such words.

"Mr. Jiang, I understand."

After leaving the Chancellor's Stand, Feng Duhu turned back and looked up at the sky. The sun was burning like fire.

He let out a long breath.

"Zhongduhu, may I ask where we are going?"

Xiao Huangmen, who had been waiting outside, asked respectfully.

"No need, let's leave the palace."

"Invite the Central Protector this way, I will lead the way."

When he reached the palace gate, Feng Duhu suddenly turned around again, looked inside the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and then looked in the direction of the Chancellor's Desk, with a strange smile on his face.

Feng Duhu believed that ninety-nine percent of what Jiang Wan said was true, and it was possible that it was ten percent true.

But this does not prevent Shangshutai from expressing his dissatisfaction with the recent actions of the palace.

Feng Duhu and Jiang Wan were both successors to the Prime Minister's legacy.

Therefore, Feng Duhu understood Jiang Wan’s psychology very well:

There is an instinctive rejection of those who want to destroy the arrangements left by the Prime Minister.

After all, Da Han's achievements over the years were all achieved under the leadership of the Prime Minister, which is enough to prove the correctness.

You want to change these practices, but what if you make a mistake?

Wouldn't that ruin the Prime Minister's hard work and the results of everyone's hard work over the years?

As for the Shu faction who embraced the Queen's lap, they have gone too far recently and have been beaten by the Jingzhou faction.

That's a trivial matter.
