I am the king of the dead

Chapter 218

"Let me think slowly." Zhu Qiyu signaled Jin Lian not to speak yet.

He suddenly realized that he, the Minister of the Household Department of Ming Dynasty, might have miscalculated.

Zhu Qiyu didn't frowned and quickly settled the accounts in his heart, and then asked: "In 80 years, how many silver coins will be minted to pay off?"

Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the inner carrier warehouse, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in 80 years, it is 400 billion copper coins, which is converted into 2000 million Daming silver coins. According to the current Bingzhan Bureau's coinage, the monthly output is 38. The growth rate will take about 30 years.”

"Your Majesty, this is just paying off the debt."

The Ming court owed the people all over the world minted coins. Now that the mill has been built, it is natural to maintain the mill. Currency is an important tool for maintaining the mill.

But Daming owed 80 years of debt.

And this thing has to be returned, although Zhu Qiyu has a Zhu Qizhen abdication edict, but that thing is for the Ministry of Rites to wash the land.

Zhu Qiyu shouted out the legacy of inheriting the ancestors and ancestors, and then he had to inherit this huge and terrifying debt.

Lin Xiu gave a figure that in 30 years, Daming can repay the debt for 80 years.

But what about the 30 years?In these 30 years, will the population of Daming increase? According to the standard of fifty new coins per person, how much will Daming owe in these 30 years?
If His Majesty was in the prime of life in the Spring and Autumn Period and never slacked off, how much money would the Ming need to mint every year in 30 years to ensure the balance between prices and money?
Everyone in Zhu Qiyu was stupid.

The new monetary policy is indeed a good policy, as can be seen from the reaction of Daming, but what Zhu Qiyu owes is shocking.

"400 million silver coins, [-] billion copper coins, why do you need so many?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, frowning.

Jin Lian actually wanted to say that in the 90 years before the Yuan Dynasty, the world was devastated, and the Yuan Dynasty did not have a stable monetary policy, let alone large-scale copper coins, and there are still more than 90 years of accounts.

But after all, it was Qian Yuan's bad debt.

But in the past 80 years of the Ming Dynasty, it must be repaid. This is at least 180 years, and the imperial court has never minted large-scale coins.

Money shortage, this word shortage, behind it is the horrible financial affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the people are short of money and less money, and the bloody current situation.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the eunuch of the Bingzheng Bureau and the admiral of the martial arts hall, and said with a smile: "Yongchang."

"The minister is here." Li Yongchang replied tremblingly.

When he was still complacent about the output of the Bingzhan Bureau, the Salt and Iron Council told him that he needed to mint at least 30 million silver coins, or even more, within [-] years, so that His Majesty would not owe the world silver coins.

Conscience of heaven and earth, more than 30 pieces a month, [-] pieces a day, that's the limit!
"This matter is left to you." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Li Yongchang was terrified, and finally bowed his head and said: "I... can't do it!"

"Just double the production capacity." Zhu Qiyu said with certainty: "Double, double."

Zhu Qiyu turned his head and asked, "Lin Xiu, can the internal transport warehouse still give two points of fire consumption to the military battle?"

Increasing labor remuneration can effectively increase enthusiasm and effectively increase productivity.

Lin Xiu took out a small abacus from under the table, and after a long time of calculation, said: "Yes, but at most two points."

Du branch ambassador Wang Hu also took out a small abacus from under the table, counted cracklingly, and then whispered to Jin Lian a few times.

Jin Lian looked at the accounts, and chatted with Wang Hu, the ambassador of the Du Branch, for a long time before bowing his head and saying, "Your Majesty, I can also contribute two points here."

In this way, for one silver coin in Bingzhan Bureau, you can get four cents for one cent, but Zhu Qiyu's internal transport warehouse only gets eight cents, and Taicang only gets eight cents.

Zhu Qiyu thought carefully for a long time and said: "In this way, I will give Bingzhan Bureau a miracle card. Every year, craftsmen who improve their craftsmanship and reduce processes, but can increase production capacity with quality and quantity, will be awarded a miracle card. Set it for ten years."

"However, we must not give up the basics and pursue the end. We should train more craftsmen and expand the base."

Wouldn't it be good to double the production capacity and build a branch factory of the Military Bureau?
But Daming didn't have so many silversmiths to supply Zhu Qiyu, and it wasn't just machines that limited output.

To increase labor remuneration is also to attract silversmiths from all over the world.

Li Yongchang took a deep breath and bowed his head and said: "The minister leads the order."

It is a supreme honor to give more money and Qigong cards, which is enough for those craftsmen to improve their craftsmanship without sleep.

Lin Xiu and Du branch ambassador Wang Hu discussed with each other for a long time, then calculated for a long time, and finally said with a sigh: "Even if this is the case, after 30 years, your majesty still owes at least 1000 billion copper coins, about 5000 million silver coins..."

Wang Hu, the ambassador of the Du branch, added: "This is not counting the debt owed by the salt over the years, and the previous events are not counted. There are more than 30 silver coins issued every year, and about 30 million silver coins in 900 years, which is 200. About [-] million copper coins."

Lin Xiu conservatively estimated the increase in the number of people in the Ming Dynasty, and the increase and decrease figures were very conservative, but in the end she still got a shocking figure, 1000 billion copper coins, [-] million hanging copper coins.

Wang Hu, the ambassador of the Du branch, supplemented the money from the previous salt and iron meeting, which is also currency, and that is also a debt.

How many?Not much, 200 billion copper coins, but 2000 million hangs.

The sum is only 900 million silver coins, which is really not much compared to the 2000 million silver coins owed.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Xiu's account book, and finally said with a sigh: "Do your best, it's hard for you, it's hard for me, it's all hard, let's do what's hard for us."

I owe so much, I don't know how to pay it off.

Once Daming opens the sea, the debt will continue to double, rising to the sky!
The salt and iron meeting was over, Yu Qian stayed and accompanied Zhu Qiyu to push the chessboard. This time, he played the map of the Battle of Lingbei, which was the Battle of Lingbei in the fifth year of Hongwu.

Yu Qian is playing Beiyuan, Zhu Qiyu is playing Daming, this game has more than 400 rounds, it is too slow to play, at least half an hour.

The soldiers pushed halfway, Xing'an sighed and said: "The hair and the forest start from one place, and the sides reach the four corners. Anyone who is in the east, west, south, north, knows where he is. The shock is shallow, but the one who is close is close, and the spring overflows. , Three hundred miles away, almost completely unpopulated, completely destroyed."

"Ground subsidence."

"Your Majesty wins."

Yu Qian stared blankly at Xing'an, he was already terrified by the meteorite incident last time, this time he agreed in advance not to use the meteorite, and actually caused a ground subsidence? !
This was still a shallow earthquake, and it involved a very short range, which happened to completely wipe out the main force of Bei Yuan in Yu Qian's hands, leaving nothing behind.

Xing'an stretched out his hand to pull out the flags of the main force of the Qianzhong Route Army one by one, and said with a sigh: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not caused by manpower."

"Hey, no, you big peng, how could you do this? How could there be such a thing as falling into the ground?!" Yu Qian finally couldn't help it, and played chess as he played. This is no longer a black whistle, it is forced End!Turn the chessboard.

This way was so wild that Yu Qian was stunned.

He had never seen such a brazen person!
"Okay, okay, let's not play anymore." Zhu Qiyu signaled Yu Qian to be calm, put away the chessboard, and chatted about business.

Yu Qian took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down his agitated heart.After drinking a cup of tea, he finally calmed down.

Yu Qian drank another cup of tea, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is Jingcha?" What Yu Qian wanted to talk about was the important matter in front of him, Jingcha.

Xing'an sat up straight and listened carefully to His Majesty and Yu Qian's argument. This is the best opportunity for him to learn.

Gao Lishi, a famous eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, had the title of the first virtuous eunuch in the ages. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was negligent in his later years. Gao Lishi handled almost everything.

But as Yang Guozhong's power grew, Gao Lishi also lost his power, and the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty was immediately defeated.

As far as Xing'an is concerned, he needs to grow up. If one day, His Majesty also starts to neglect his administration, the Supervisor of Ceremonies must fulfill his original responsibilities as Gao Lishi, and do better.

Zhu Qiyu thought carefully about what the Jingcha was for a moment and said: "Whether the picket officials are lax and corrupt is the intention of the Jingcha at the beginning of its establishment.

Yu Qian nodded, then shook his head and said, "Actually, Your Majesty, the Jingcha does not have to stick to the formality. Earlier, the Jingcha was made public and the Jingcha failed. How do the picket officials maintain it?"

"Naturally, the various government agencies have power, and friends are traitors. They conduct inspections in Yanxing Building and Taibai Building, but the evaluation is no longer on diligence, integrity, and talent, but on who has the most connections and who has the most money. Thick, who's family origin."

"Your Majesty has established an official residence, so this method of Beijing inspection must be handled in a special way."

Yu Qian's meaning is obvious. When San Yang assisted the country, with the orthodox Emperor Youchong, within a few years, only eight things were allowed to be played in each court, but a lot of power was taken away from the emperor.

For example, the power of Jingcha was lost from the emperor at that time.

However, Jingcha's means did not disappear, but spread to the hands of the officials.

This will inevitably breed corruption, it will inevitably breed cliques, and it will inevitably lead to a mess in the court.

"If it goes on for a long time, the country will be destroyed." Yu Qian sighed, quite touched.

In this short period of one year, the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy has changed. This has a lot to do with His Majesty's continuous withdrawal of power, and then punching down.

His Majesty has always done things with a degree of relaxation, neither rush nor slow, but he has handled each matter, one by one, extremely safely.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Therefore, there must be some people shouting and yelling about the Jingcha matter, and I won't pay attention to it."

Yu Qian took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, how much is the heir of the emperor?"

"Six catties and six liang, full term." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

The outer court didn't know about the affairs of Tai'an Palace. Last time Wang Zhi asked to move to live in the palace, Zhu Qiyu reprimanded him. Since then, no one dared to ask about the many arrangements of Tai'an Palace.

Yu Qian said with a smile in the corner of his eyes when he heard it: "Six catties and six taels are good, very good, and full-term is also very good."

He was quite pleased that the Ming Emperor had only one child, Zhu Jianji, which was absolutely impossible, as there was only one child, and the country's position was unstable.

Your Majesty's two children, that is a very gratifying thing. It is better to have as many children as possible. At most, there will be some small disturbances such as the Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion, and it is not a big deal.

In particular, His Majesty is promoting the tax payment of all kings and relatives.

With one more child, there will be more protection, and the minds of the courtiers will be more stable.

　Note: The ancient ten million is the modern one hundred million, but I tried to count ten million and found it difficult to read, so I changed it to one hundred million. 4 is over, 1.3 words, please... tickets!
