Chapter 621 The basic background of Daming financial affairs

Li Binyan looked at Xu Chengzong who was extremely upset and only found it very interesting.

Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and the general fee of the two Zhejiang salt merchants are a microcosm of the financial affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and also one of the characteristics of the transformation from the small peasant economy to the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Hongxi, that is, the year when Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Yu Shi Pang Shangpeng played a petition, requesting that the head of the grain be dismissed, and the head of the grain be collected by the head of the grain.

Since the Hongwu period, the government-receiving official solution system, which was established in the Hongwu period, has once again been transformed into a civilian-receiving official solution system.

Li Binyan has seen the corruption of Daming's grassroots system with his own eyes.

The first corruption of the grassroots system was the overall corruption of the Weisuo system; the second corruption of the grassroots system was the corruption of the grain chief system. The Ming court completely lost its management and control of the grassroots since the Hongwu period.

When there is a vacuum in power, someone is bound to fill it.

After the resignation of Liangchang, 110 households selected ten wealthy households to serve as the head of the village in rotation, and the power at the grassroots level was firmly controlled in the hands of the local gentry.

The collapse of the grassroots system in the Ming Dynasty, the local gentry controlled power, the poor became poorer, and the rich became richer.

During decades of development, the small-scale peasant economy in Ming Dynasty seems to have gone into a cycle. There are fewer and fewer self-cultivating farmers, more and more tenants, and the people work harder and harder to cultivate, but they have little harvest. In a disaster year, they sell their sons and daughters.

And the tenants of the powerful family are cong servants, distant relatives and old friends, and the rich get richer. The fields are endless, and the silk and bamboo are full of ears. Like the spider silk on a spider web, Daming was woven into a huge spider web.

These "powerful families" and servants of the Ming Dynasty who got rich first controlled huge social wealth and power, that is, the bourgeoisie occupying a distribution position.

In the course of the development of the commodity economy, the bourgeoisie who took the lead, took the lead, got rich first, and occupied the position of distribution have the opportunity to become even more powerful.

This is one of the characteristics of the transformation from the small peasant economy of the Ming Dynasty to the commodity economy: the first to get rich is always accompanied by the power of power.

This is the basic background of the financial affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a huge test for the transformation of the small peasant economy of the Ming Dynasty into a commodity economy.

The Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and the general fee of the two Zhejiang merchants in front of him are typical examples of power and wealth parasitism. Li Binyan once specially studied the two men. Of course, it was not that Li Binyan had a serious illness to study the two men, but their power and wealth parasitic relationship. How did it appear and how did it develop and grow.

"This damn guy!" Xu Chengzong was still cursing, but it didn't help.

Li Binyan looked at Xu Chengzong and asked with a smile: "You should be afraid, what do you think should be done to avoid being kicked with your majesty's head chopped off?"

"Your Majesty will really kill me?!" Xu Chengzong looked at Li Binyan in disbelief, and asked with dull eyes, as if he couldn't accept this result.

He is Wei Guogong, a member of the Xu family with two princes.

Li Binyan gave Xu Chengzong a very precise look, and said slowly: "When something happens, someone needs to come forward to take responsibility, and the size of the matter determines whose head will be beheaded, so as to appease public anger."

"So you should think about how to solve it now, instead of scolding Fei Yiying."

Xu Chengzong scratched his head vigorously, sat up straight suddenly, and then remembered the purpose of his trip, rushed to Li Binyan, grabbed the corner of the table, and said loudly: "Governor Li, help me!"

Li Binyan's eyes were full of amusement. Xu Chengzong understood that life was more important than money. He said in a somewhat erratic voice, "I won't save you, but you can save yourself."

"The price of tickets is soaring now because it is hard to find a ticket. The subscriptions of merchant ships from Daming to North Korea have increased seven times, while the subscriptions of merchants to Japan have increased eleven times."

"It's hard to get one vote, so give more votes."

Xu Chengzong said in a daze: "But, but, this year's merchant ships going to North Korea, Japan, Borneo and other places have already been dismantled. Where can I go to dismantle the shares?"

Li Binyan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This year's is gone, what about next year? What about the year after?"

"Wait until next year when the demolition is over, the year after the demolition is over, and then the next year after the demolition, and when it's sold out, we'll take advantage of the disease to ban the sea and seal the city, and release the news that the more the Daming Sea is banned, the price of this ticket will come down."

"Once the ticket price drops, it's like a boulder rolling down a hill."

Xu Chengzong thought over and over again, closed his eyes for a long time before suddenly opening them and asked: "What if it hasn't come down yet?"

Li Binyan immediately said: "Tickets are just a pile of papers, do you understand what I mean? In Hongwu 25 years, the exchange of banknotes stopped abruptly, and Wei Guogong should know why."

How did the Daming banknote law get corrupted?
During the Hongwu period, Hongwu changed banknotes for 25 years. According to the Ministry of Households, the number of Daming treasure banknotes was only 500 million. How did it become 5000 million?

Who is privately printing and piracy?
Xu Chengzong's complexion changed several times, and finally he was pale. He said tremblingly, "You are indeed non-toxic and not a husband! Li Binyan, you are indeed a vicious scholar! You are too insidious."

Xu Chengzong was a little surprised by Li Binyan's insidiousness, and he could only say one thing, he deserves to be a scholar of Ming Dynasty.

Li Binyan took a sip of his tea, and he shook his head and said, "Someone has to do bad things, and someone has to say bad things."

"Don't you want to wait for the ticket speculation, and wait for a few more months, from the current ten times, chasing up to a hundred times when it collapses, before you make a move?"

"At that time, your Wei Guogong's good head will not be enough. At least mine and Li Xian's head will be added. If it is not enough, then the emperor will be angry and bleed thousands of miles."

"Forcing His Majesty to kill people, it is impossible to stop, let His Majesty maintain the benevolence of face, hello, hello, hello everyone."

"Just taking advantage of the fact that the gates of the city were closed due to the epidemic and sailing was banned on the ocean, this matter was done."

Xu Chengzong got the solution, so he went to find Fei Yiying non-stop. It was time for Fei Yiying, the general manager of the two Zhejiang merchants, to exert his last strength.

Li Binyan leaned on the soft rattan chair, turned around and looked at a huge map of the map, which was a water map sent by Xu Youzhen after dredging the Wujiang River.

This huge map contains a huge code of wealth, and it is an important instruction map for the Ming Dynasty to build the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It includes water conservancy irrigation, vegetation distribution, mines, special products, population and so on.

One axis, two wings, three poles, and multiple points will build the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Once the construction is completed, the maritime trade will be a great trend.

The hydraulic dredging of 20 miles is the starting point and beginning of building the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and it is also a new starting point for Daming's financial affairs.

The important process of the transformation of the small peasant economy into a commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty was the development of cities and towns in the places where handicraft production and commodity exchange were concentrated in the Ming Dynasty.

On the main road of the Yangtze River and its tributaries, dots of workshops and wharves that have begun to take shape are important forces for the transformation of Daming's financial affairs.

Li Binyan stared at this map for a long time. This is His Majesty's ambition. To accomplish it, you need not only a wise monarch, a court with a bright moon and breeze, and a clean and honest officialdom, but also the courage to be the first. Craftsmen, merchants running around, and poor coolies with short brown knots.

In short, a concerted effort is needed for Ming Dynasty.

After Chen Zuhui was arrested, he was escorted to the capital.

The capitals of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fengyang, Yingtianfu, Songjiangfu, and Shaanxi will undergo an unprecedented change in officialdom, which is also the determination of the imperial court to fight and arrest corruption.

Under Xu Chengzong's order, Fei Yiying finally started to deal with Daming Merchant Shipping's splitting of shares.

The place of fireworks in Ming Dynasty is nothing more than Yingying and Yanyan on the banks of Qinhuai River. Songjiang Mansion has become more and more prosperous and luxurious. In recent years, a resort has also emerged, named Jiuyuan, known as Quzhongyuan.

The old courtyard is on the bank of the Huangpu River, with Dingwu Bridge in Songjiang Prefecture in front of the door, and Chaoku Street at the back door, which is the site of Baoyuan Bureau and the distribution center of imperial silver coins and Jingtai Tongbao.

This old courtyard is different from the buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River. The old courtyard is full of sentimentality.

There are thousands of courtyards in this old courtyard, all of which are clean and clean, with sparse flowers and trees, painted sills and carved railings, beautiful windows and silk curtains.

The bonsai in the courtyard is even more exotic and exotic. The furnishings in the room are all ancient vases and old tripods.

The prostitutes in this old courtyard are far more elegant than the buildings by the Qinhuai River. The incense burning in this courtyard must be the phoenix cake and the dragon's birthday, and the tea cooking must be the dragon's tongue.

The golden scales in the pool in each courtyard are dazzling, and the rumors of green feathers are displayed in the flower beds.

This Cuiyu is a kind of parrot from Daming, it is a rare bird, it can learn human speech, every time a guest arrives, it will chirp and yell that the guest is welcome, it is very lively.

The golden scales in this pool, the emerald feathers on the flower stand, and the exotic flowers and flowers are all embellished. This old courtyard is a place for prostitutes, and fighting beauty is the mainstream.

It can be said that each family competes for beauty and flattery, and every family wins and praises.

As the saying goes, a lot of money buys a smile, and the white hair is wrapped around the head. How can this kind of place be a place where poor people can come?

The ones who came were naturally young masters, wealthy men, powerful men and women.

If you come to Qu Zhongyuan for consumption, you will get [-] imperial silver coins as a base. After ten years in the homes of ordinary people, it is a well-deserved land of bliss and a gold-selling cave.

But it is said that there are nearly a thousand households in Qu Zhongyuan, and these prostitutes are all called sisters. Today is the day when Qu Zhongyuan chooses the oiran, and in the past, the sisters who responded were torn apart.

Thousands of courtyards in Qu Zhongyuan surround a five-story pavilion, which is a courtyard, and there is a stage in the middle. Before the oiran begins, the famous artist Huang Yanniang plays and sings.

This famous artist Huang Yanniang is naturally a famous Jiangnan artist who is accompanied by bloody storms every time she plays.

He knew that this Huang Yanniang was unlucky, but there were some people who didn't believe in evil and insisted on inviting her.

Kagura Xiandu, this Huang Yanniang is present.

A group of speculators and merchants finally jumped off the building to their deaths. At that time, the Qinhuai River was frozen. One by one, the merchants who had borrowed green rice money jumped from the high-rise buildings in Kagura Xiandu, smashing the ice surface, gurgling got into the Qinhuai River.

Huang Yanniang was also there when Tianzi Ti rode Yang Han to arrest Li Gaoquan, the big boss of Risheng, and sang "Jia Taifu Admonishes Han Wendi" and "Jing Zhong Jing".

Speaking of which, Huang Yanniang, a well-known Jiangnan master, has long been in business. She is Xiuniang from the Weaving Bureau of Songjiang Prefecture. She leads hundreds of women in weaving, dyeing, embroidery and spinning. Her life is very stable and she is married again.

Huang Yanniang didn't want to come today, but there were too many people who invited her.

This money can add hundreds of spinning machines to the Weaving Bureau, so she can only pick up the pipa to play and sing.

Today, the high pavilion in the old courtyard is not very peaceful, there are people running around and shouting, Huang Yanniang is a little tired of such a romantic place, so she simply plays instead of singing, rather self-willed.

But no one dared to stop her, and no one said anything else. It was said that Huang Yanniang had a very close relationship with Yang Han, the commander of Ying Tianfu.

Yang Han was the one who brought five brothers outside Datong Mansion to rescue King Jili from the enemy camp. He was the right governor of Nanzhen Fusi.

Another unknown identity of Yang Han is that he is one of the Tianzi Tiqi. Yesterday, Yang Han went to Songjiang Mansion to cooperate with Li Binyan to arrest Zhejiang Governor Chen Zuhui.

There has never been a groundless rumor. Huang Yanniang and Yang Han are indeed related. As for when Yang Han hooked up with Huang Yanniang, the word fate has to be mentioned.

Every time Yang Han arrests someone, Huang Yanniang is there. After this, Huang Yanniang has entered Nanzhen Fusi more times, so she is naturally familiar with it.

I have to say that the word fate is wonderful.

But today, Yang Han was also present with dozens of Tiqi, and the Tiqi all made up in disguise, just because they were afraid that something would happen.

"Let it go! Let it go!" A boy shouted loudly holding a sign in his hand. The shop with the total expenses of the two Zhejiang merchants released the last batch of stock split subscription tickets today. The period is three years. After all, Fei should be timid and did not dare to issue a five-year ticket.

Because of the additional stock splits and subscribing for merchant ships for three years, the price of ship stocks in Songjiang Mansion finally stopped the upward trend and fell slightly.

When Huang Yanniang heard this sentence, she deliberately broke a string with her plectrum, threw the string away, and stopped playing.

Last night Yang Han said he wanted to watch her play the piano, Huang Yanniang knew it was nothing good.

Sure enough, after a while, another boy ran in in a panic and shouted loudly: "The sea is banned! The sea is banned!"

Huang Yanniang held Yang Han's arm and walked out of the high pavilion of the old courtyard. She didn't care about the bustle behind her and stretched her waist lazily. She lost her husband five years ago and originally planned to build a chastity archway, but it didn't happen. This Yang Han tore her life apart and forced her in.

Yang Han did not treat Huang Yanniang badly, and gave Huang Yanniang the title of successor. Yang Han's wife died in the chaos of the 14-year Civil War.

After careful calculation, Yang Han actually had a family feud with King Jili, but outside Datong Mansion, Yang Han took five brothers and went deep into the captive camp, intending to rescue King Jili, because King Jili was a member of the Ming Dynasty at that time. If the emperor is not rescued, more Ming people may lose their homes.

The final result was naturally good. King Jili died in the hands of His Majesty. Yang Han got drunk and shouted that the sky is clear and God has eyes.

"Husband, come back earlier, this attic is full of idiots, save them at all costs." Huang Yanniang's eyebrows were affectionate, Xiao Biesheng was newlywed, Yang Han arrived in Songjiang Mansion yesterday and was busy with business, they hadn't seen each other for three months.

"Make some fish soup in the evening, I'll go back to eat." Yang Han and Huang Yanniang bid farewell.

Fei Yiying had dismantled the merchant ship shares for three years this time, and even placed a heavy cover. This time, the minimum premium for the pledge was three times, and the merchant ship to Japan even had a ten times premium, and it was sold in bulk instead of retail. It is very similar to the appearance of His Majesty selling coal bombs when he was in Nanya.

The only difference is that His Majesty repeatedly issued decrees and warnings back then, with earnest words and earnest words, lest the greedy people would go astray, Dun Dun taught them to turn back when they lost their way, reined in the precipice, and even ended up in person, clamoring not to follow the ways of the emperor, of course good words It's hard to persuade to find a dead ghost, and Dun Dun's teaching has little effect.

People like Xu Chengzong do things secretly, they do everything they can, they are insidious and cunning, and they set up traps layer by layer.

Therefore, the 37 governments of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River all miss His Majesty in Nanjing.

At least His Majesty is in Nanjing, and he knows what can be touched, what can't be touched, and what can make a lot of money.

Nowadays, who in the south of the Yangtze River does not say that His Majesty is benevolent?

When Yang Han entered the attic, he saw a figure falling from the fifth floor with his head on the ground. After landing, his hands and feet twitched a few times, and he seemed to be dying.

After that, more than a dozen people jumped down, shouting in horror one after another.

These people are dressed in brocade, and they look rich and powerful.

Xu Chengzong clearly understands that since Shangbo's stock split and subscription of shares is going to be exposed, and since someone has to pay the price, he can only suffer to become rich.

After all, it is the powerful and powerful, the rich and powerful businessmen who bear everything.

Yang Han smacked his lips, the lady is right, they are all idiots, how clearly His Majesty said: Speculation is more stupid than anyone else.

 The basic background of the Ming economy is that power and wealth are not separated from each other. This can only be restricted but not prohibited.Ask for a monthly pass, ┗|`O′|┛哩~~! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
