Hangzhou.

Chengqian walked down from the warship, and Hangzhou gathered generals and schoolmen preparing for the southern expedition to greet him.

pier.

There was no atmosphere of war at all, and the generals and schoolmen had no grief.

Very calm.

The surrounding merchants were cheering without any worries.

They were cheering for the prince and cheering for Zhang Chao.

Liu Shi and other officials in Hangzhou, Zhejiang were also trapped.

"I didn't expect that the people welcome us so much!"

Chengqian was very satisfied with the generals and schools who surrendered. Although if they hadn't come suddenly, these people might have set sail to Guangzhou tomorrow, or maybe they should have met on the battlefield.

Liu Wei's face was pale, and he stood among the generals and schoolmen.

Swearing.

"A traitor is not loyal and filial."

Zhang Chao took a step forward.

"Mr. Liu, we meet again. There is a saying, I would like to ask Mr. Liu. Change the surname Yi is called the destruction of the country. Benevolence and righteousness are filled with people and lead beasts to eat people, which is called the destruction of the world. Who said this and what does it mean? I wonder if Mr. Liu can answer it for someone?"

Liu Wei didn't expect Zhang Chao to ask this and was stunned.

Many of the generals and schoolmen next to them are mostly rough, and they really don’t know what this sentence means.

"Who said this, what does it mean?"

"Destroy the country? Destroy the world?"

"Speed ​​the beast and ate people? Who is this? I guess it's a barbarian from where is it?"

"Is it America?"

·······

But Liu Wei just closed his mouth and refused to speak.

Of course he can answer the question asked by Zhang Chao, but he just can't answer it.

He understood the meaning of this, but he didn't know who said it. It had some meanings from Mencius, and it was about the two concepts of destruction of the country and the destruction of the world.

Zhang Chao meant that the demise of a country was to change the dynasty, change the emperor, change the country's name. In fact, only the emperor, ministers, and those who compete for power and profit were required to be imprisoned.

Just like now.

Civil War, internal strife in the Tang Dynasty.

But how many people really care about it? They think this is just a conflict between the royal father and son, and a rebellion between Xuanwu Gate or Hanjing.

Even changing dynasties is not considered a change. In the end, no one dares to win in this kind of internal struggle. The world is still from the Tang Dynasty. The lives of the people will not change much.

Therefore, Liu Xu was heartbroken when he saw Zhang Chao leading his army into Hangzhou and the soldiers surrendered in Hangzhou.

But others don’t feel anything. If they surrender to the prince, they even think that it’s not considered surrender.

If it is an invasion of a foreign race, it may be a country or species, or even the world may be a world of destruction.

But at present, the destruction of the country is not considered a matter of being destroyed.

Actually, no one knows that the passage Zhang Chao said was said by Gu Yanwu in the late Ming Dynasty.

Gu Yanwu was an aspiring literati in the late Ming Dynasty. He was determined to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and was working hard on many ways. He even was a great figure in thinking. He not only said these words, but also said that every man was responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

The demise of the country actually has nothing to do with ordinary people, that is what the meat eaters plan.

Only when the world is destroyed can you be responsible for every man.

In Gu Yanwu's thought, actually destroying the world not only refers to the invasion of foreign races. What is the real destroying the world? It is filled with benevolence and righteousness, and it means leading beasts to eat people.

On the surface, it is filled with benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact it is a major regression in the etiquette of people who can eat people. For example, some people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but many people starve to death, while their dogs eat meat. This is equivalent to leading animals to eat people!

The most terrible thing is that rituals and music are broken and morals are declining.

Liu Xu kept saying that Zhang Chao and the others were rebellion and rebellion, but the people had a completely different attitude of support.

Why?

Firstly, this is just a struggle for the upper power of the Tang Dynasty that should have involved meat eaters, and it has little to do with them. Secondly, it is because many of the current policies of the court are regressing.

The people have a hard time, and everyone misses the past, and the prince and Zhang Chao represent the Tang Dynasty fourteen years ago.

"There is another sentence for Liu Gong. Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. I gave this sentence to Your Majesty back then. Your Majesty once gave it to Your Majesty. After that, there will be more than ten years of Zhenguan rule. But now Your Majesty has changed. Look at his decrees, is this still the wise Your Majesty at the time?"

"The subjects of the world can help His Majesty become the emperor of the ages, and they can also make him fall from the altar."

Liu Wei was speechless.

I'm afraid of comparing goods.

Originally, the prince rebelled for his son and rebelled against his father. However, Lingnan was stable and everyone was still living a good life. But what about the Central Plains?

But the public was in agitation.

Comparing goods requires throwing away, and comparing people requires death.

Fifty thousand troops surrendered and surrendered.

The Southern Army successfully entered Hangzhou.

The Chamber of Commerce acted as the leader of the Party, fully assisting the Southern Army in controlling Hangzhou and helping to restore order.

After Chengqian entered Hangzhou, the first decree issued was to restore the status of councillors at all levels of Daozhou and counties in Zhejiang Province, and to allow councils at all levels to complete the election of the new council members.

The Privy Council and the Ministry of War, who followed the prince, began to reorganize the 50,000 new troops that surrendered.

These people cannot be dismissed for the time being, but they are dispersed and reorganized, and are adapted according to the military system of the Southern Army.

The Navy was organized into the East China Sea Fleet of the Tang Dynasty Navy, and the 30,000 infantry were reorganized into supplementary regiments and added to the various armies of the Southern Army.

It was on the same day.

The original Liji Money House, Datang Bank and others in Hangzhou City have opened their doors again.

However, this time, the place was taken over by the Jianguo court, and the Li Ji Money House was also renamed and changed to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

Datang Bank was changed to Minsheng Bank, which belongs to state-owned. Zhang Chao's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is privately owned. In addition, there are the Agricultural Bank of China and Construction Bank, which are jointly invested in and operated by public-private joint ventures.

Hangzhou has four major banks.

"Look, I've posted a notice."

"Banks will accept deposits and loans for the people from today..."

"The four major banks are actually going to issue banknotes again." Someone exclaimed.

"It seems different. You see, all taxes such as the two taxes and industrial and commercial taxes can be paid with new banknotes in the future!"

"New banknotes can also be exchanged for gold, silver and copper coins at any time in the four major banks."

"Cancel tickets and cancel the ban on money ownership."

"The gold coupons in the hands of the people can be exchanged for new banknotes at the market price at the four major banks, and they are valid for redemption within one month."

······

As soon as a new notice is released.

The merchants and people from Hangzhou lined up in front of the four major banks.

They were eager to exchange the gold coupons in their hands for new banknotes, even at the market price, they were willing. At least, after being exchanged for new banknotes, they could be used to pay taxes or to exchange for money.

"Is there so much money?"

"Who knows."

"I heard that behind the prince's fleet, there were many gold and silver ships, all of which were filled with gold and silver."

There are indeed many carriages on the dock carrying boxes and entering the four major banks.

In fact, what they didn't know was that many boxes were empty, although they did bring a lot of gold and silver coins.

However, Zhang Chao was not worried that he could not exchange it.

Because he had sent someone to withdraw the deposits from the underground vault in Hangzhou, where the deposits from Li Ji's Hangzhou Branch in the past were almost half of the money of Hangzhou merchants.

Now most of this money is handed over to the court of the regent, which is considered the funds of the court. A small part of the prince left to Zhang Chao is considered the capital and profit of the Li Ji Money House in the past.

The money the crown prince received should belong to the people, but after being messed with by the court for a few years, he has now become the crown prince's governor of the court.

Only those who can present their deposit slips will be recognized. As for those victims who take away the treasure notes, then are deprecated again and again, and almost become waste paper, they can only be helpless.

Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The businessmen were extremely excited.

The arrival of the prince also means the cancellation of the ban on the sea.
