Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 449 I Can't Bear It (Part [-])
"Oh? What good strategy does Youming have?" Hearing Liu Hongjian's words, Chongzhen immediately showed a little excitement.

After all, when it comes to making money, tying the ministers of the court together is not worth Liu Youming.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to understand the second part of what I just said." Liu Hongjian shook his head slightly and sighed.

I really thought that the money was blown by the wind!

When did Liu Hongjian get the money without risking the world's disgrace, and when was it not in exchange for bloody killings?

Now those uncles in the imperial court are polite to him, that's because they have nothing to do with him now, who knows how to scold him behind his back.

It is light to scold him, so you are not sure how to curse him behind his back, and curse him to go to heaven as soon as possible.

He now has great merit and power, and no one can do anything about him. He can suppress those disobedient old bastards time and time again.

But don't forget, he's just fighting alone, oh, and there's also an 'old man' uncle.

Which courtier does not have a large number of disciples behind him, which courtier does not have the filial piety of a wealthy businessman behind him, do you count on the pitiful salary from the court?
The ministers can experience failure after failure, but it doesn't matter, Zhang San and Li Si are dead, they are not fighting alone!
But Liu Hongjian couldn't do it. If he fell, there would only be a hundred thousand feet to welcome him. Now that Chongzhen is still alive, what about the future?
These old guys have been obedient, are they really submissive?

Uncle, you want to make money, right? Yes, you will take the blame!

"The second half of the sentence? Do you dare to do it? Do you dare to take the blame? To whom and what do you take the blame?" Chongzhen didn't know why, but fortunately he knew how to ask without shame.

"Our Daming has never been short of silver. Not only is it not short, but it is also extremely rich. The emperor is unbelievably rich!" Liu Hongjian didn't answer Chongzhen directly, he was afraid that he would scare the uncle by saying it directly.

Whether it was the Han and Tang Dynasties or the Song and Song Dynasties until the Ming Dynasty, the trade of the Chinese nation with foreign countries has always been in surplus. To be precise, silver has always flowed from the outside to the inside of the Ming Dynasty.

Take Song, Daliao, and Xixia as examples. Song had silk, tea, and porcelain, while Daliao and Xixia had war horses, cattle and sheep.

Song Dynasty could produce cloth, rice paper, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, etc. all the people needed. Daliao and Xixia still only had war horses, cattle and sheep.

War horses, cattle and sheep are all low value-added things, but silk, tea and porcelain are different. These things are only available in China, and they are all consumables. The two are not of the same magnitude at all.

The same is true in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For hundreds of years, when China has done business with other countries, money has always flowed to China, and it has never lost money.

It wasn't until 300 years later that a group of robbers felt that this was not an option, and opened the gate of China with cannons to reverse the disadvantage of the trade deficit.

But whether it is between Song and Liao, Ming and Qing, the mutual market is only official, that is to say, it is the trade between the two courts.

Why not just trade freely like posterity?

The problem is very simple, even the nomads are afraid!They are afraid that the one who loses in the end will lose their pants.

So here comes the question, since the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are so powerful, why is the imperial court always clanging poorly?Where is the money?Where did all the money go?

Of course Liu Hongjian knew it, and many courtiers should know it too, but Chongzhen didn't know it.

If Liu Hongjian hadn't obtained so much money from corrupt officials' homes in front of Chongzhen, Chongzhen probably wouldn't have known that the humerus who quarreled with him in patched clothes were so rich.

He himself is really poor as the co-author!
But his imagination only stops here, and his thinking mode limits Chongzhen's imagination.

"Youming, don't be a fool, tell me quickly." Seeing that Liu Hongjian started to play (pretend) to (force) again, Chongzhen had no choice but to urge him.

"According to my estimate, not counting the ones copied from my home, the amount of silver stored in our Ming territory is at least this amount!" Liu Hongjian stretched out his right hand and opened his palm to signal Chongzhen.

"500 million taels?"

"The emperor guesses again!" Liu Hongjian shook his head, joking!Use your imagination, man!
"5000 million taels?!!" Chongzhen couldn't believe it. In his opinion, 5000 million taels was almost the limit. After all, Liu Hongjian killed both corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen to get so much.

"No, no, five hundred million taels, at least five hundred million taels." Liu Hongjian did not forget to repeat after finishing speaking.

If the north is so poor, you can get [-] million taels, but what about the south?Since ancient times, the south has been rich and prosperous. The rich merchants and nobles merged the land while doing business, and also engaged in smuggling. How much wealth do they have? ?
"Five hundred million taels! At least...how is it possible!" Chongzhen felt like he was electrocuted. He had been emperor for so many years, and this was the first time he heard such a large number.

"Youming, are you lying to me? No matter how difficult it is, let's find a way." Chongzhen's mouth twitched.

How could Daming have so much money? If the people of Daming were so rich, why would they rebel?Chongzhen thought that Liu Hongjian would make cakes for him to satisfy his hunger.

Poverty limited his imagination.

"Xungui, rich merchants and landlords in the south!" Liu Hongjian still did not answer Chongzhen's question, and with a smirk on his lips, he added a glass of wine to himself.

The wealthy households in the north were basically beaten by him, and Liu Hongjian deliberately canceled the north.

"I have always understood that profiteers are harming the country, and I, Ming Dynasty, have always suppressed merchants, but..." Chongzhen still didn't quite believe that the nobles who lived with the country were so rich.

As far as he knows, the nobles of Ming Dynasty have been living in poverty recently.

"I just ask the emperor, if they are really rich and don't want to take it out when the country is in crisis, can I get it on behalf of the emperor?" Liu Hongjian asked after drinking a glass of strong wine.

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the facts speak for themselves, if you have soldiers in your hand, you don't have to be afraid, his idea is very simple, if you don't give it to me, I just go and grab it.

When the money is piled up in front of your Qianqing Palace, you won't be able to believe it.

"Youming, don't lie, I will discuss it after I go back to find out, go to rest early, I am a little tired." Chongzhen was confused by Liu Hongjian's words, and rubbed his forehead with his left hand.

If Daming is so rich, why doesn't he know?
He knew that Zhou Kui had a bit of capital among the heroes who slept with Daming. No matter how stingy Zhou Kui was, he was still his father-in-law, and his son-in-law was going to steal his father-in-law?
What are you kidding?He is the emperor of Daming.

Dingguogong and Weiguogong have lived with the country for more than 200 years, so they should have some family property, but their ancestors have shed blood and made great contributions to the Celestial Dynasty.

There are Cao Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Wei Guogong...

The Zhu family has always treated Xungui preferentially. As a descendant of the Zhu family, how could he bear to deprive the family property of the descendants of the heroes who helped the Zhu family conquer the world?
But... alas!Chongzhen felt very embarrassed, but at this moment he hoped that Liu Hongjian had lied to him.

Seeing Chongzhen's behavior, Liu Hongjian didn't say much, he bowed his hands and left the big tent with a slight smile on his face.

He knew that Chongzhen would agree to him sooner or later.
