The anger in Liu Che's heart at this time was rising upward.
At this moment, he felt the urge to incarnate Starshu, stuff all those powerful people into cannonballs, and then launch them into outer space.
But, as an emperor, he can't do this.
Putting aside the political vacuum and regime paralysis that these elites may bring.
When a country suddenly exposes a scandal in which most of the upper ruling class is taking down the upper echelons of the common people, it will inevitably immediately shake the legitimacy of the entire regime and cause turmoil that will affect the whole world.
Since the powerful are all in the common people, what is the Son of Heaven doing?
This is undoubtedly a very terrible and extremely fatal proposition But if you leave it alone, turn a blind eye.
Liu Che believes that the appetite of those powerful people will grow bigger and bigger every time.
In the end, Liu Che will have no way back.
Liu Che closed his eyes, countless thoughts swirled in his mind, and then they were rejected one by one.
Any situation in which the magnates are forced to be pressed to the ground by order or edict will only exacerbate the situation.
Blocking people's wealth, such as killing parents, killing fathers, and hating people, are not shared.
The fate of Wang Mang and Wang Anshi has made all those who vainly try to touch the interests of the powerful and powerful think twice.
"Uniting the majority and cracking down on a small handful is the fundamental way to govern the country" Liu Che thought in his heart: "Then this time, who is the majority and who is the minority, this question must be clarified" Although it seems that almost the entire magnates of Guanzhong were involved in this incident.
But in fact, looking at the essence through the appearance, it is easy to find that the powerful want to launder money through this autumn harvest and dump the backlog of bad money in their hands to the people, but it is impossible for the owners to have a large backlog of bad money in their hands.
There will inevitably be: a large backlog of bad coins, and those who have a certain amount of bad coins, and those who only hold a small amount of bad coins and who are just here to make soy sauce.
People who have a large backlog of bad money are certainly people who will not give up in the face of intimidation and threats.
But those who only hold a certain amount of bad money, a small amount of bad money, and simply a soy sauce party, can easily be divided and disintegrated.
So.
Now, the problem in front of Liu Che is: just distinguish those who have a large backlog of bad money from others.
And then the matter was well solved.
Thinking about this problem clearly, Liu Che quickly narrowed the list of suspects to no more than fifty.
The reason is simple.
Except for these guys, others can live a life of luxury and corruption without needing or relying on minting money.
For example, Bo Dou Chen, a relative, and the veteran Wanhu Hou were basically excluded from this list.
Because even if they really have a lot of private money in their hands, they will give up their current approach after Liu Che comes forward.
Move on to something else.
Such a top-level liege family does not need to use such crooked ways at all.
They can be generous and let Shaofu help them solve the problem.
The same is true for the other three princes and nine secretaries.
For so many years, they dug the foot of the Shaofu wall, when have they been low-key That is to say, the guys outside who are under the banner of these people now, at most, are the concubines of these families or simply the housekeepers or other people who are not in a high position and want to preserve their wealth.
To deal with these guys, Liu Che doesn't need to contribute at all, as long as he snorts, they will run as fast as rabbits.
Come to think of it.
Liu Che made a quick decision.
He turned to the scholars who were waiting on the side and issued an edict: "Proposed edict: I have heard that the money of this line may be said: three baht, or eight baht, or four baht, half a tael, or five baht."
The size of the shape and even the weight of the system, each is different, the good and the bad are mixed, so that the small people are confused and the country is chaotic and its government is also easy to cloud: it is convenient and makes the people tireless, so the holy king rules the world to remove the complexity and simplify.
His order has a boss to speak about money.
I will choose those who are good and give them" This is the rumor of financial reform and the complete banning of other coinage except for the five-baht coin.
This is not only to startle the snake, but also to throw stones to ask for directions.
Let's see how it reacts.
But one thing, Liu Che can be sure.
As soon as this edict is issued, most of the people who can be separated from a handful of people who are not iron-hearted and must exchange their accumulated bad money for grain that retains their value will know what to do, and when they hear the rumors, they are stupid enough to stay in a handful of people who are trying to fish in troubled waters.
Liu Che also didn't mind reducing the number of the princes of the Han family and reducing the burden on the country.
As for the use of the five-baht coin as the sole legal tender of the country, at the same time financial reforms were carried out.
It's something Liu Che has wanted to do for a long time.

This time, it's just a push boat, taking this opportunity to throw it out to see the reaction.
If the reaction is too violent, then bear with it.
The scholars did not hesitate and immediately went to draft the edict.
Liu Che looked back at Wang Dao and gave an order: "Prepare the car, I will go to visit the old prime minister" The old prime minister, Shen Tujia, after entering August, the flame of his life began to falter.
A few days ago, I almost couldn't even do it, but I arrived in time, and the wild ginseng produced in Liaodong was powerful, and I barely hung my life.
However, it was only barely hanging his life.
According to Chun Yuyi, Shen Tujia is likely not to survive August, so he must prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible.
This incident made Liu Che very sad.
Shen Tujia was the biggest turning point in his life.
This old prime minister, to Liu Che, is like a kind old man, who personally led Liu Che to the throne of the king.
Liu Che couldn't imagine that without Shen Tujia's initial support and support, then he would probably not be able to smoothly ascend to the position of the prince, and then reign over the world.
To be a man, you must be grateful and repay.
To be an emperor is even more needed.
Otherwise, other people will probably not die for you.
Therefore, in the days after Shen Tujia became critically ill, Liu Che would personally go to the Gu'an Houfu almost every day to express his condolences.
It's a pity that Shen Tujia has been in a coma, occasionally awake, mostly in the middle of the night or early in the morning.
Liu Che had no way to talk to him, so he could only encourage the descendants of the Shen family after the visit.
Liu Che estimated that Shen Tujia's death was only a matter of one or two days.
For this reason, Liu Che ordered Yangling Wei to select a cemetery with excellent feng shui for Shen Tujia on the mountain of Yangling as the burial place of Shen Tujia.
This is a tradition of the Han family.
The prime minister of the Son of Heaven wants to accompany the burial of the Son of Heaven, and the monarch and ministers will rule again under the nine springs.
Especially during the reign of Liu Che's father, there was only one prime minister in the strict sense of the word: Shen Tujia.
After that, Zhang Ou was completely a puppet with soy sauce.
For the sake of his father's face, Shen Tujia could only accompany Emperor Renzong Xiaojing.
Although logically speaking, Shen Tujia is more suitable to be buried in the Baling Tomb and go to be with Emperor Taizong. t1706231537:
