Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 349: Empire and capital, contradictions and happy enemies

After dinner, Tan Yunxian went into the palace to ask for pulse.

Zhu Qiyu knew what she was doing and suddenly felt a headache.

After asking for pulse, Zhu Qiyu directly issued an order to expel the guest: "I turned over the White Concubine sign today, and I have been waiting in Qianqing Palace at this hour."

"I'll just say a few words and then leave." Tan Yunxian said with a smile. She has four sons and one daughter. Her two sons have reached the age of marriage. Is it a lie to say that she is not in a hurry?

She knew that her son was going to be enfeoffed, so when choosing a daughter-in-law, it was best to choose one from among the nobles, who would be able to lead the feudal clan and have someone who could lead the army.

But the emperor did not let the prince choose, but had to seek the consent of both the prince and the woman before settling on the marriage.

The sons were happy, but the mother had more long-term considerations.

"Is it okay if I don't listen?" Zhu Qiyu held his forehead.

Tan Yunxian said with a smile: "I just want to say a few words and leave after that. I will definitely not bother Your Majesty."

"The second child has fallen in love with the daughter of Li Jin's family, but Li Jin is capable, but his son is a loser, and I don't like her very much."

"On the contrary, she is from Wang Yue's family. She is dignified and generous. She is a good match. Moreover, her mother's family has many brothers. It will also be helpful when the second oldest one succeeds to the vassal."

Tan Yunxian didn't hide anything, she was just scheming. It is only natural that her mother plots for her son.

"Does Mrs. Wang agree?" Zhu Qiyu had a headache.

"Your Majesty, parents have ordered matchmakers since ancient times. How can a woman choose a husband? Are you ashamed?"

Obviously, people don't look down on the second child.

"Who does Wang have his eye on?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Tan Yunxian immediately stopped laughing: "How can a daughter who has not yet come out of the palace fall in love with this man or that man? How can she behave like that?"

Seeing that she looked like a tigress, Zhu Qiyu could only close his eyes and rest.

He probably has his eye on the fourth child.

The Geng Yu family also likes the fourth child. Does the fourth child attract girls like this? That’s why the fourth child looks like me.

"How about I send the Fourth Brother here and you give him a good beating?" Zhu Qiyu asked her.

"Why are you beating the child?"

Although he is not his biological son, Tan Yunxian doesn't want to be known as unkind: "Your Majesty, what girl doesn't have a child? A little girl's affection is long, but she forgets it when she grows up."

This is such a double standard.

"Does the second brother mean this too?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, my son is thin-skinned, how can he talk to a mother like me? Besides, you are raising your son as if he is an enemy. Do you dare to tell me what is on your son's mind?"

Everyone has double standards.

Tan Yunxian supports folk children to study hard, but hopes that his son will be able to live a smooth life despite the hardships. This is the heart of a parent.

Zhu Qiyu was tired of hearing these nagging words: "It's not sweet to be so stubborn. Maybe the second child doesn't like Wang Yue's family."

"Brothers Li Lian and Li Jin are my right-hand men. They are both capable. Li Fu and Li Ao are indeed a little worse, but I can't stop my daughter from missing your son."

"She cares about my son, so she has to marry her? Or we can take her in as a side concubine." Tan Yunxian thought that he could not marry her as a main concubine without help.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Let's talk about the concubine later."

"Your Majesty, the land of the vassal is thousands of miles away. When they reach adulthood, I will never see them again."

Tan Yunxian burst into tears: "Isn't it possible that I can't even find a smooth wife for my mother-in-law?"

I know I have to cry, make trouble, and hang myself.

"It is precisely in order to join the vassal that I set no restrictions on the princes and teach them the art of the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Besides, a real man has ambitions in all directions. Who can stay at home and watch over his wife for the rest of his life?"

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way."

Tan Yunxian heard the emperor's prevarication, and immediately said: "When I think about it, my sons will be separated from each other in the future, and my heart will ache."

"When choosing a wife for him, would it be better for him to go with his heart? Or for you to go with his heart?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"How old is my son this year? Does he know anything good? Can a mother-in-law like me, the concubine, do harm to them? Naturally, the ones I picked are all the best, and they are all for his own good."

Tan Yunxian was anxious, but he stood up fiercely without wiping his tears: "I have served you for twenty years, how can you bear to let me be sad for half your life?"

Zhu Qiyu wanted to hide, but was held back by Tan Yunxian.

"My beloved concubine, I am in a hurry." What can Zhu Qiyu do to her?

The relationship lasted for almost twenty years and gave birth to four sons and one daughter to the royal family.

"Go after you finish talking! Don't be in a hurry!" Tan Yunxian knew that he was not strong enough, so he simply dragged the emperor's arm and sat on the ground.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really cruel. For the sake of your son, you don't want to be a father-in-law?"

"I have prepared Bai Ling. As long as you agree, I will hang myself when I return to the palace so as not to cause any trouble to you." Tan Yunxian perfectly interpreted the story of crying, making trouble and hanging himself.

"What are you going to hang yourself for? A daughter-in-law hangs herself after just a few words with her husband? Where are the rules? First up, first up." Zhu Qiyu had a toothache.

"If you don't agree, I won't get up. Even if the trouble goes to the previous court, I will risk my face at the worst."

The palace people couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time they saw Concubine Tan acting like a naughty girl, and no one dared to come over and pull her up.

"Let me think about it and let go first." Zhu Qiyu grinned and said, "My head is itchy, please help me scratch it."

When Tan Yunxian was out of earshot, he fell in love with the emperor.

"I have coaxed you through Changde and Gu'an, and now I have to coax you."

Zhu Qiyu really had a toothache: "Go and bring the second and third son here."

"Your Majesty, have you agreed?" Tan Yunxian's eyes lit up without a single tear in his eyes.

"I called them here to give them a good beating. If their mother bullies me, I will give them a good beating to make them angry."

Pfft!

Tan Yunxian let go of the emperor's arm in horror, sat down on the ground, and burst into tears: "You cruel man! They are your biological sons. If you want to beat them in front of me, beat them to death first." I'll beat them to death again! Let the three of us go down there to reunite!"

She didn't even address you, but called you directly. This is disrespectful.

Not to mention the royal family, even a wealthy family, she would have to be beaten.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to mess with him, and he must never reason with women.

Zhu Qiyu could only pull her up and rub her butt: "You didn't understand the joke? Where is your usual cleverness? Okay, don't cry. I was wrong. Does it hurt?"

"Then you promise me, I, that you will not beat the child."

Tan Yunxian was afraid. The emperor was really beating him. He didn't do it himself, but sent the child to his ministers for Nian Fu, Yu Qian, and Geng Jiuchou to beat him.

"If you don't cry, I won't beat them. Their sons make their mothers sad, so it's not unfair to beat them." Zhu Qiyu threatened her.

Tan Yunxian immediately wiped away his tears, choked and shook his head: "I don't cry anymore, I don't cry anymore, please don't hit them."

Zhu Qiyu discovered that the magic weapon to subdue the shrews in the harem was their sons.

The only thing that can defeat magic is magic.

The second child, Zhu Jiansong, and the third child, Zhu Jianyu, were studying in the Wenhua Hall. After hearing their father's edict, they came over quickly. When they entered the Yangxin Hall, they seemed to hear their mother's cry, and the two of them suddenly trembled.

"My sons, please see your father and mother!" They kowtowed after entering the palace.

Zhu Qiyu did not speak.

Tan Yunxian was anxious and kept winking at the emperor, asking him to get up quickly.

But the emperor just stretched, and she coughed slightly, but it was no use; she tugged on the emperor's clothes again, but there was no response.

Still making me cry?

But then she thought, if she cried, the emperor would have to beat her son, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, lowering his voice and shouting: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qiyu seemed to have just heard it and coughed lightly: "Get up."

The effect is good and will be used frequently in the future.

"Concubine Tan was crying to me just now, did you make your mother unhappy?" Zhu Qiyu said coldly and quietly.

As soon as the two children stood up, they knelt down on the ground with a thud: "I will never dare to make my mother and concubine unhappy. No matter how unfilial I am, I will not dare to offend my mother and concubine. Please give me a clear warning."

"Then why is your mother crying?"

"Look, my eyes are swollen from crying."

"I have been married to her for so many years, and the last time I cried like this was when I was giving birth to you."

Zhu Qiyu helped Concubine Tan wipe her tears in a decent manner.

Tan Yunxian opened his hand directly, try threatening my son again!

The two children are also confused. You two are fighting, why are you getting us in the middle? Are we unfair?

"When did I cry? Your Majesty is talking nonsense. Get up quickly. The ground is cold. Don't keep kneeling."

Tan Yunxian was worried that Zhu Qiyu would do something wrong again, so he took the initiative to go over, pull his two sons up, and ask the eunuch to move Jin Dun over and let them sit down.

It's better to have my mother by my side. I never sat down in the Yangxin Hall before.

Zhu Qiyu stroked his beard and said, "The ground is so cold in this summer. Come on, get a baking basin for the two princes to warm themselves up."

Tan Yunxian's eyes were raised. You use a brazier to roast your child in the summer. How can you be a father like this?

"Haha, I was just joking with the two children. My beloved concubine, come sit here."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Second brother, I heard your mother said that you have fallen in love with Li Jin's daughter?"

Zhu Jiansong trembled: "Reporting to the emperor, I did not do anything inappropriate. It was just that when Li was serving in the Queen's Palace, I took a look. My eldest brother and fourth brother were also there at that time."

He betrayed Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Jianji immediately. They were really good brothers.

"When did I say that you had exceeded your courtesy?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed at his guilty conscience: "Are you attracted to her?"

Zhu Jiansong felt that there was a pit ahead of him, and immediately said: "My thoughts are all on studying, and I dare not do anything other than studying."

Tan Yunxian cast a questioning look, "Tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, you are more poisonous than a tiger."

"Third brother, what do you think of the daughter of the Li family?" Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianyu again.

Zhu Jianyu shuddered again: "My son's qualifications are so poor that he can't even read well. How can I dare to think about things between men and women when my father and masters have to worry about them."

This guy is smart.

"Let's just talk about my impressions. There is no such thing as male and female. What are you thinking about all day long?" Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied.

Zhu Jianyu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "I know my mistake, please forgive me."

"At that time, I just took one look at him and felt that he was dignified and polite, but I had no other impression."

"Your second brother has fallen in love with someone, do you think I should help him?" Zhu Qiyu dug a hole for him again.

"Back to my father, marriage is the order of the parents. My son is my elder brother's younger brother. How can I dare to comment on my elder brother's marriage?"

Zhu Jianyu insisted on one thing and refused to let it slip, just not to step into the emperor's trap.

"But your mother has fallen in love with the daughter of Wang Yue's family. What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu mainly targeted his son.

Tan Yunxian was gnashing her teeth beside her. She winked at her personal maid and went to bring the princess. Those who can defeat magic need magic.

The original owner, Zhu Jiansong, was sitting drinking tea. There was no taste in his mouth, it was all bitter.

Zhu Jianyu really didn't want to say anything, it was all offensive words.

He couldn't tell, both his brother and mother hated him, and he even doubted, was this his biological father? But think about it, my biological father treats all his sons like this, so there is no need to doubt that he is really his biological father.

"My son and I think everything is fine." Zhu Jianyu really didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Qiyu's face darkened: "You can call me whatever you want? Tell the truth, don't look timid."

"Back to my father, the Marquises of Chunchuan and Xiangcheng are both good assistants to my father, and the daughters in the family are all smart and virtuous, so I think they are all very good."

Tan Yunxian felt heartbroken when he saw his son in trouble.

She glared at the emperor bitterly: OK, let's see how I treat you!

The harem is not allowed to interfere with their sons' education. As long as the emperor wants to teach them the art of the emperor's mind, does the harem also have to learn it if it interferes?

This matter was so taboo that no concubine in the harem dared to interfere with the prince's education.

"That's a slippery answer."

Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with this answer at all: "Second brother, you brother is dishonest."

Zhu Jianyu burst into tears. You are really cheating on your son.

Zhu Jiansong thought about it and found that his brother's answer was really cunning. It seemed that no one was offended, but in fact everyone was offended.

"What do you think about your mother's thoughts?" Zhu Qiyu took the second place test again.

Zhu Jiansong, however, felt embarrassed and couldn't talk to his parents about the marriage.

"When I return to my father's kingdom, my son's talents are not obvious, and he has to go abroad to join a vassal. My mother and concubine are worried that my son will not be able to become the king of the country, so she has to choose a beneficial marriage for my son."

"But I think that if my father is willing to entrust my son to be enfeoffed, I will not ignore him."

"I will naturally choose a good team for my son, so I will have no worries."

"So I want to choose the one I like."

This son is honest.

It's just a bit stupid, why don't you say I want them all?

You are a prince and will become an emperor in the future. Can you do it without the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard?

Just as she was about to speak, the fifth princess, Princess Xianghe, arrived. Princess Xianghe was Tan Yunxian's biological daughter. She started from Gu'an and was ranked fifth. She was only eight years old this year.

Princess Xianghe jumped in: "Daughter, see your father and mother."

None of the princes had titles, but all the princesses had titles. This shows that the emperor was partial.

Sure enough, Zhu Qiyu looked at Tan Yunxian, who showed a victorious smile, I can't cure you, let your daughter cure you.

After Princess Xianghe said hello, she ran over and threw herself into her father's arms: "Dad, give me a hug!"

Zhu Qiyu's old face turned dark: "Xianghe, you are eight years old. There are differences between men and women. Girls avoid their fathers and cannot be too close to them."

But Princess Xianghe had already thrown herself into the emperor's arms, giggling endlessly.

Zhu Jiansong and Zhu Jianyu saw this scene and realized that we were both picked up. Is this your biological child?

"Dad, did the second and third brothers make you angry again?" Xianghe sat in his father's arms and looked at his two brothers arrogantly.

"Dad, don't be angry with them. They are too stupid. Xianghe already knows how to recite the female commandments."

The twin brothers burst into tears. We have memorized it since we were three years old. You only learned it when you were eight years old. Are you still calling us stupid? But the way his father was smiling suddenly made him feel bad.

Tan Yunxian's face has never stopped smiling since his daughter entered the palace.

It's a mockery.

Let you torture my son, and let your daughter deal with you too.

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes: "Xianghe, your two brothers are getting married. Who do you want to be your sister-in-law?"

Suddenly, everyone's expressions froze.

Tan Yunxian really wanted to slap himself, but he didn't expect the emperor to have such a trick!

She is the daughter who is the closest to her father. She looks silly but is actually very smart. When the father and daughter join forces, the three of them will have to lie down.

"Xianghe, get off your father's body quickly. Your father has been tired all day. Don't let him hug you. Besides, my daughter's father, you are eight years old. You can no longer be so close to your father. In what manner?"

Tan Yunxian grabbed his daughter to stop her from talking nonsense.

"Your mother is right." Zhu Qiyu resigned as soon as he saw what he was saying.

Xianghe rolled his eyes and understood immediately, and said with a smile: "Then I'll give Dad a squeeze on his shoulders. Dad, they are so stupid, it's better for them to be single."

Received a critical hit of 10,000 points from my sister.

The Zhu Jiansong brothers wanted to die.

Tan Yunxian looked at Xianghe, who was squeezing the emperor's shoulders with a face full of flattery, and said sadly: "Xianghe is not young anymore, it's time to find his in-laws."

Princess Xianghe's little hand froze, and she showed a flattering smile to her mother: "Mom, my daughter will give you a squeeze."

Tan Yunxian looked at the emperor as if demonstrating.

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Go and announce your wealth."

Zhu Jiansong and Zhu Jianyu shuddered and looked at my mother for help, please stop, he is really torturing us.

"Your Majesty, is there something important going on in the previous dynasty?" Tan Yunxian sighed, as if his seven inches had been pinched by the emperor.

"Discipline your sons. Some of them are not very obedient. Let Nian Fu go to the palace and discipline them properly." Zhu Qiyu said.

You just need our ID cards.

"My son is so obedient, why should I discipline him?"

Tan Yunxian rolled his eyes: "You guys go to study quickly. I will discuss the marriage with your father. Xianghe, did you go to the women's school today?"

Xianghe suddenly trembled. There was a female study hall in the palace, and all the maids had to go in to study.

Naturally, the princess will also go. There is no hierarchy in the Nüshutang, only teachers and students.

Because she was naughty, she was often beaten, but she never complained to her father and mother, because this was the way to respect teachers.

"Yeah, my daughter hasn't finished memorizing her books yet. My daughter is going to memorize them." Xianghe ran away like a whirlwind.

Tan Yunxian dispersed the magic first.

Zhu Qiyu also asked his two sons to study at Wenhua Palace.

"My beloved, I'm tired too. Let's go back to the palace and rest." Zhu Qiyu hummed a tune and went to Qianqing Palace. This round was evenly matched.

Tan Yunxian gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, I will bring you breakfast tomorrow."

Zhu Qiyu wanted to go along with the second child's wishes, but the second child was jealous but not courageous, and the daughter of Wang Yue's family fell in love with the fourth child.

Just try the second and fourth child's thoughts.

The news that Tan Yunxian returned to the harem from Yangxin Hall immediately spread in the harem.

Empress Tang and Concubine Hu, who were gearing up, were watching closely what was going on here, and they were also preparing to strike hard.

The next day it was morning.

He Zhien, who is in charge of the Royal Trading Company, is waiting in the Yangxin Hall. "I want to make bottled drinks."

Now that the glass bottle production technology is very skilled, he plans to make beer first and then tea drinks. The current technology cannot produce carbon dioxide, so he cannot make soda.

Zhu Qiyu handed the prepared painting to He Zhien.

"Make this kind of beer bottle, fill it with beer, put it into boxes and sell it. There is a deposit on the bottle. If you want to return the bottle, the bottle must be recycled."

"Then we will launch tea drinks, refine several recipes, make them in this way, and sell them to the public."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Including wine and liquor, all can be bottled in this kind of bottle."

"Make it more high-end and sell it to dignitaries. We also make some exports and sell it to Europe."

He Zhien understood it at a glance.

Nowadays, beer is picked up in tea jars at the factory.

"Now there are canneries all over the place. There is no profit to speak of anymore. What's left in the Royal Merchant House has been sold off."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Gather together some more money and go to the Western Regions to build factories. All the factories that should be opened will be built."

"My slave obeys the order." He Zhien did not dare to be vague.

"How much money is there in the account?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, there is 7000 million in cash in the account. If it is needed urgently, more than million can be recovered." He Zhien reported back.

"Spend a sum of money to invest in a rubber factory in Baiyue."

"Horseshoes can actually be replaced with something softer. I think rubber can be used. You can bring experts to study the uses of rubber."

"It is estimated that 20 million will be spent, and another capital will be collected from the private sector, totaling 50 million."

He Zhien was surprised, so much money?

But the emperor said it was a horseshoe. It was a major military matter and should not be taken carelessly.

"Let Wang Zhi go and keep an eye on this R&D factory in person."

Wang Zhi grew up in the palace. He and Tan Yi were two eunuchs that the emperor valued very much.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

He Zhien left the palace and Qiu Jun came in.

"Qiu Jun, I want to issue banknotes, what do you think?"

Qiu Jun was confused: "Your Majesty, why do you want to issue treasure banknotes? But the central bank doesn't have enough money?"

"That's not true."

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "It's strange to say that there are more than one billion taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty market, and more than three billion taels of silver are flowing among the people, but there has been no inflation, and there is even a little deflation."

"Your Majesty, the money shortage will not last for one or two years, but will last for hundreds of years."

"Weichen estimates that the Ming Dynasty's silver coins will only circulate normally if they exceed 5 billion, and inflation will only occur if it exceeds 5 billion."

Qiu Jun said: "As the Ming market becomes larger and larger, it may exceed 5 billion next year."

"On the contrary, Wei Chen felt that the Ming Dynasty should issue gold coins to balance the amount of silver on the market."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "No, without inflation, there is no need to issue gold coins. The face value of gold coins is too large, and if they appear in the market, it will cause panic among the people."

"Besides, Ming Dynasty has insufficient gold reserves and should find ways to raise more gold."

"The Ming Dynasty is still short of silver, so I want to issue banknotes."

Qiu Jun frowned: "The treasure banknotes have made the people extremely distrustful of banknotes. Wei Chen thinks it is better not to issue them."

"You'd be mistaken."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I am not issuing banknotes at home, but issuing banknotes abroad, and using banknotes to settle trade with foreign countries."

For a moment, Qiu Jun was stunned.

My majesty is so awesome, has he gone abroad to harvest?

"The Ming Dynasty had two goods dumping places overseas, one was India and the other was Nanyang."

"I plan to issue banknotes in the two places, use banknotes to recover the silver in their hands, and accelerate the flow of silver into the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Of course, I still hope that the banknotes issued this time will not collapse. It is best to continue to issue them forever."

“I will start issuing it abroad first, and then it will be recognized domestically.”

Qiu Jun understood: "How does Your Majesty plan to issue it?"

"We must learn from the experience of the failure of treasure banknotes. Banknotes cannot be printed casually. How many banknotes are issued will be as much money as there is in the bank."

Zhu Qiyu has been thinking about it.

Why do later generations never tax the people directly? But the center is getting richer and richer, while the people are getting poorer and poorer.

The reason is on the banknotes.

If you use paper money, you have to endure depreciation, because the endorsement of paper money is not the amount of gold and silver, but is linked to the government's credit.

In this way, the center can pump water, and every time it pumps water, the banknotes will depreciate on a large scale, and the money in the hands of the people will become less and less valuable.

Therefore, there is no need to cut leeks face to face.

Just use financial leverage, and the people will be able to collect it after a few years of hard work.

The taxes are still paid.

A careful calculation shows that the common people were first exploited by the capitalists and then exploited by the superiors. In the end, only three melons and two dates were left, living stupidly and happily every day.

Let’s see how the beautiful lady harvests the world? As long as you use their money, you will be harvested, no matter who you are, you will be cut.

After Zhu Qiyu figured it out, he felt that it was necessary to issue banknotes and then turn the banknotes into world currency.

From now on, there is no need to go to the private sector to collect taxes. It is enough to use levers to pump water.

There is no need to start a war. As long as the financial system is touched, a country will collapse. If it instigates neighboring countries to fight, the country will be exhausted.

But this is not in line with the actual situation of Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty is not an island, Daiying and Meili are both big islands, so they can provoke wars on land.

The Ming Dynasty was on land, and war could reach the mainland at any time. It would not be enough to provoke and set fire everywhere.

Our ancestors used tribute to control the world, but they did not harvest it.

Zhu Qiyu felt that it was not that his ancestors were too stupid, but that they could not harvest. The tribute system was to maintain border stability, not to harvest the world.

Based on the current situation of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will be lucky if we don’t attack Ming Dynasty on the border.

After all, the surrounding countries are all extremely poor, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. I wish I could give them free goods from the Ming Dynasty, as long as you don't hit me.

The cost of a war would be too great for society due to impassable roads.

If you win, you won't have any money or money, but you'll still be in trouble.

Therefore, it is not that the Ming Dynasty cannot defeat the Mobei Hu people, but that it does not want to fight and cannot afford to fight.

It will be different in a few hundred years. Every country in the world has some wealth, has put on shoes, and no longer wants to fight, so they can only be harvested.

The popularity of financial leverage is based on the premise of ruins after the war. You must conquer it before you can harvest it. Otherwise, why would anyone let you harvest it? I still want to be the boss!

For poor countries with no family resources, it is best to use the warlords' method, which is to issue banknotes to defraud them of their gold and silver.

Seeing the emperor deep in thought, Qiu Jun did not dare to disturb him.

"The countries in Southeast Asia are too poor. Let's go to India to issue them. Instead of using the original treasure banknotes, we need to change the style and name."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Although the treasure banknotes have been abolished, the craftsmen are still there and can be recreated at any time."

"I will design the style myself this time and change the name to Ming Yuan."

"From now on, foreign trade will be paid with banknotes."

"Countries can also use Ming Yuan to do trade with the Ming Dynasty. The official charge is Ming Yuan. I will designate Ming Yuan as the official currency."

Qiu Jun found out that the emperor had turned evil.

If it's a one-time deal, then you spend it and don't acknowledge it.

Accepting the account means harvesting in a cycle.

The emperor didn't say it, the people all recognized it, but the official trade accepted it, so the official trade could take the opportunity to raise prices and depreciate the Ming Yuan.

If you want to harvest all nations on a large scale, then let this paper currency not depreciate in value for a long time, but also increase in value, and let those landlords and old money take out all the real money and silver, and exchange them all for Ming Yuan.

Then a wave of financial disaster occurred, causing Ming Yuan to collapse.

This is the financial crisis!

If you want to use paper money to further harvest the world, then bail out the market and make paper money valuable again, and then there will be a financial crisis and bail out the market again.

Every financial crisis is a gluttonous feast.

"Leave this matter to you. Make a plan on how Ming Yuan will structure it and when you can harvest the most money."

"Only you and I know about this, no one else knows."

"I will do it, and you will come up with the plan. Don't rush it. The structure is ready, and all factors are taken into consideration before it can be passed."

"Since it is issued this time, it is necessary to issue a banknote that will last forever. It must be done well."

Qiu Jun took the order and left.

Zhu Qiyu was thinking, who is behind the financial crisis?

It stands to reason that gold and silver are currencies, because gold and silver are limited, and human labor is also limited. This correspondence is correct.

However, after the use of paper money, gold and silver are not limited among the people. People can buy gold anytime and anywhere. Don't you think it's strange?

Paper money is not money, gold is money, but gold can be bought. Who would be stupid to exchange paper for gold? Could it be that there is a ghost in gold?

Banknotes are pieces of paper. In the eyes of people at the top, they are useless pieces of paper. Gold is money. How can you buy it?

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Paper money is the best way to harvest the world."

"With banknotes, whether taxes are collected or not, the central bank's money is unlimited, and the central bank will never go bankrupt."

"The Ming Dynasty will never perish."

"At least in theory, the demise of a dynasty is directly affected by economic reasons. As long as there is money and people to serve, the dynasty will not perish."

"And paper money can make money infinite. As long as it is printed, there will be more. The number of printing depends on how much the labor force contributes to the economy. If it contributes more, print more, and if it contributes less, print less. But no matter how much it is, Whether we print less or less, there will definitely be a financial crisis."

"The greater the financial crisis, the more money is made. Every financial crisis drains away all the wealth created by labor force."

"Where did the money come from?"

"No, there is no source, because no one wants pieces of paper, they want high value-added goods, gold."

"So during a financial crisis, hard currency prices will skyrocket."

"Actually, some people are hoarding hard currency, and the hard currency in the market has decreased. But in the end, is this hard currency hidden? Or does it flow into the market for a second time? For the second harvest?"

"The person who invented paper money was really a genius."

"But those who use banknotes well are really powerful. If you don't use them well, they are just like precious banknotes. If you use them well, they are US dollars."

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more excited he became: "You can use paper money to rob other people's hard currency. As long as the Ming Dynasty holds enough hard currency, in theory, the Ming Dynasty can survive forever and will not perish for thousands of years."

"There is another prerequisite, which is not to be physically eliminated. If Genghis Khan appears, even the British will have to kneel down."

"The advantages of island countries are reflected."

Zhu Qiyu even came up with the idea of ​​moving to America. There is a big island there with oceans on both sides. No one can reach the mainland?

In fact, the Japanese country also has the potential to become a leader, but living in this ghost place in East Asia, next to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Great Beauty, the Japanese country can only be slaughtered.

Daiying can become Daiying. That was because Dameili had not developed at that time. There was an open space over there, so Daiying developed.

This is also the result of Dai Ying automatically becoming the younger brother after the big beauty develops, and eventually ends up being harvested and wasted.

North America is truly a chosen land. From a political point of view, this large natural island is the best place in the world for harvesting.

But similarly, you can't start a fire in the backyard. If it turns into a fight between several forces, then this land will be a cage, a top-notch prison.

Australia is not like that. Firstly, it is not easy to live. Secondly, it is too far away from Europe, so that place is destined to be a prison.

Unless the world overlord is the Ming Dynasty and Europe becomes a second-class person, Australia is more suitable as a harvest island country than North America.

“If you want to use finance to harvest the world, you must be an island country.”

"Actually, the prototype of Dai Ying has already appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, relying on goods to harvest the world. Theoretically, the Southern Song Dynasty will continue to exist."

"In the end, it was physically wiped out by Mongolia. It was wiped out for no reason."

"Is it true that a country on land can't do that?"

It seems that it cannot.

If Fa De is strong or not, won't he still be harvested?

It's not that Dai Ying and Meili are great, it's that they are island countries and cannot attack their homeland, otherwise an Annan can kill them.

Unless the Ming Dynasty can unify Eurasia and turn the entire continent into one country.

However, in that case, this kind of harvest will no longer exist. Who will harvest?

"No wonder in the financial era, the country seems to be not important at all."

"No wonder Daiying refuses to give up his homeland no matter what."

"Because they don't want too many people to share the fruits of victory. This is the idea of ​​the consortium. They only think about money, not the country."

"Daiying is not a country at all, but a large-scale capital dominated by consortiums."

"It seems that the sun never sets. It's not that the sun never sets for the royal family, nor for the British people. It's just that the sun never sets for the financial group."

"And I am the emperor, the emperor of Ming Dynasty."

"I want to support 300 million people!"

"Haha, no wonder people don't like being emperor anymore after entering modern society."

"Because no one wants to carry hundreds of millions of oil bottles. It would be great to be a consortium. Cut leeks every day and enjoy it after cutting."

"They don't want the country, and they don't care about the nation. They just want money, and anyone can harvest it. Everyone is a piglet in their eyes."

"So these consortiums are desperately advocating for freedom. They are worried that if the emperor appears, they will directly break up his family's manor, pull out his family and behead them all."

"So they hated the old emperor."

"So they are trying their best to build a financial world because they dare not use force. Force will give birth to power. They are the most afraid of power."

"Look at the values ​​they frame. They are all about protecting their interests. This is completely different from the values ​​created by Confucianism."

"Confucianism is about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and safeguarding the interests of the emperor."

"And You'a's idea is to protect the interests of the consortium."

"There must be a battle between the two."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened: "Will there be a fight between me and the consortium?"

"I forced the Ming Dynasty onto the road of industrialization. Industrialization will inevitably give birth to large financial groups, not the original landlords and gentry, but large financial groups."

"The Confucian sages have long anticipated the scene of the two tigers fighting, so they tried their best to promote agriculture and suppress business, and tied people to the land."

"Confucianism maintains the idea of ​​imperial rule and great power."

"The consortium protects the sanctity of private property."

"The two are not going in opposite directions, but going in opposite directions, and will eventually collide violently."

“Looking at industrialization, a working class will be born, and these people rely on consortiums to make a living. They will be led astray by the ideas of freedom advocated by the consortia and pursue their freedoms. Naturally, they will become enemies of the imperial system. "

"The urban class is essentially the working class, and they are all eating from the consortium."

"And the imperial system is exactly the sword hanging over the head of the financial group. With just one word from the emperor, all nine of their clans can be destroyed."

"In the eyes of the emperor, having money is the original sin."

"Therefore, there must be a battle between the empire and capital, a battle that cannot be stopped!"

"Is it me who dug the roots of the imperial system with my own hands?"

Zhu Qiyu fell into deep thought.

In fact, is the imperial system really backward?

No, it's just that the imperial system touched the interests of the big financial groups. The big financial groups needed the monarchy to disappear, so they gave the monarchy a damn label, so the monarchy disappeared.

However, which country’s bureaucracy is not essentially an imperial system?

It's just a name change. In fact, what is really eliminated is not the monarchy, but the absolute dominance of the emperor.

The emperor cannot be allowed to destroy the consortium with just one word.

The essential conflict between the monarchy and the conglomerate lies here.

The second is the battle to control the world.

If one day, the Ming Dynasty is highly developed, and the civil and military power of the entire dynasty is supported by large financial groups, then the existence of the Ming Emperor will become very unnecessary.

After hundreds of years of erosion of imperial power, the emperor who was in power at that time was most likely a fool. After being splashed with dirty water, he was kicked into hell, thus ending the imperial system.

Everything I have worked so hard for has disappeared.

The only way to preserve imperial power is for the emperor to live a long time and for the prince to ascend the throne after the age of thirty-five, but this is the most difficult thing for the royal family.

There are too many temptations to be an emperor. As long as you are a human being and you cannot hold it, you will easily tire yourself to death.

Look at Emperor Xuanzong. When Emperor Taizong was alive, he was such a great saint. After Emperor Taizong died, he became a stubborn man.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was extremely harsh on the princes, just to sharpen their minds and prevent them from being tempted. He would crush the desires of all the princes bit by bit and turn them into hard-hearted robots.

However, Emperor Taizu, who was one emperor throughout the ages, could not have imagined that there were Emperors Jianwen and Emperor Taizong, a pair of evil grandsons and rebellious sons?

It's not that Emperor Taizu was unwise, but that Emperor Taizu liked his children and grandchildren too much. An emperor cannot have feelings, he treats everyone the same, and he is a true emperor.

One day, monarchy and capital collide.

Zhu Qiyu thought to himself that the emperor was by no means a rival of capital.

Can the monarchy be allowed to take a back seat, take the initiative to give way to talents, and then compete to be the head of state?

Under the tide of the times, the last thing is to go down the current, not against the current. That is the stupidest way.

But how to tell the kings of future generations?

Zhu Qiyu felt that he should write something for future generations to learn and read.

However, Emperor Taizong had been compiling the imperial edicts for his whole life, but when they got into the hands of Emperor Taizong, they were just used as wiping paper. Who would learn the ancestral etiquette?

He focused his eyes on the plaque above his head: "If I put a bag of tips behind the plaque, one day, when the kings of future generations are desperate, they will take it out and look at it."
