Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 79 This is the end, let's study Confucianism first

In the small garden.

Xu Shouyun slowly put down the last dossier, rubbed his temples, and thoroughly understood the current situation of Dawei.

【The building will fall】

I thought that the Great Wei Dynasty had just reached its final years and fell into a crisis that all major dynasties would encounter, but now Xu Shouyun discovered that the Great Wei Dynasty was no longer its final years.

But it will collapse at any time.

And this series of problems was definitely not brought about by the Empress' ascension to the throne. Various mistakes were made hundreds of years ago, paving the way for her near demise.

The demise of a dynasty basically conforms to three major elements.

First, the financial crisis.

Second, Wen is strong and military is weak.

Third, the imperial power is unstable.

Looking at the previous life, the Ming Dynasty died of financial problems. Of course, it was unlucky to encounter the Little Ice Age, but the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty were more serious.

The Song Dynasty died of a strong Wen and a weak military. In order to prevent the same thing from happening, Zhao Kuangyin greatly weakened the power of the generals, resulting in a group of literati in the Song Dynasty who had advanced status but poor military power.

Spending money to eliminate disasters will eventually breed tigers, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty. The history of nine-year compulsory education even mentions the Yuan Dynasty, and if you don’t mention the Southern Song Dynasty, you can see how abstract the Southern Song Dynasty is.

The country was destroyed, and the Southern Song Dynasty was still fighting for power among civil servants. I established my emperor, and you established your emperor. They scolded each other without the slightest thought of unity.

This is the consequence of the proliferation of civil servants.

The instability of the imperial power can be seen by looking at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The eunuchs and treacherous officials controlled the government, called the wind and rain, and did whatever they wanted, coercing the emperor to order the princes, and they died slowly.

The Great Wei Dynasty just met the above three points.

The financial crisis is terrible, and scholars are too respected, all land taxes are exempted, plus a group of clans and clans, ten for a lifetime, ten for a hundred, and it is an astronomical sum to support this group of people every year.

In addition, these people have their own fiefs, do not pay taxes or pay money, and close the door to enjoy themselves.

The problem is that you still have to give it away. If you don’t give it, everyone will be upset immediately. What do you do when you are upset?Rebellion.

Brothers, knife in hand, follow me, the emperor won't give us food, let's cook for ourselves.

Without money collected, the six departments cannot operate normally, and the six departments cannot operate, and all aspects can be radiated.

Just like the Ministry of Rites, it stands to reason that the Ministry of Rites allocates funds to various places every year to support some high-quality scholars, such as sending rice, oil and meat, so that they can survive a little.

Even if the Ministry of Rites has a lot of money, some key provincial governments will subsidize high points and offer students money to attend the Beijing exam.

Then these students study and take the exam with peace of mind, and finally pass the exam, and serve the country, forming a virtuous circle.

But now there is no money, and the Ministry of Rites still allocates money, so everyone can figure it out.

Students from a good family background don’t matter, but students from a poor family live frugally, use the power of the village to take the exam, but fail the exam, just a little bit, want to take the exam again, oh well, no money, honestly be a teacher Bar.

Obviously talented, but end up being a teacher for a child from a wealthy family, or a private school teacher in a rural area, giving hope to the next generation.

This is the causal relationship, and it is also the problem above, which radiates the result below.

The national treasury has no money, and the military department is also poor. Although the soldiers are patriotic, they have no money. They are afraid of dying when they go to the battlefield, afraid that their parents will not be supported, and their wives and children will not have money to survive.

So there will be fear, fear, unwillingness, anger, and no morale. It's okay. At this time, the enemy country will just take out a tael of silver and throw it to the general.

Brother, don't fight, just hang out with your brother, your monarch treats you too much, we treat you well and have high benefits, as long as you are a spy, we will guarantee you to take off.

Weird things will happen next. Our army of 50 and the enemy's army of 80 will fight for a few months without any major problems.

But all of a sudden, the battle was defeated in three days, and there were countless casualties.

Why?

Because there are enemies in the team, the strongest fortress is broken from the inside, otherwise it is just a matter of numbers, and the Great Chu Dynasty and the Dajing Dynasty joined forces to attack the Great Wei.

It will take three to five years, and the two countries will have to pay a huge price.

So the lack of money leads to a strong man and a weak man, poor man and rich man.

In the end, the imperial power was unstable, so there was no need for Xu Shouyun to explain it. The three kings were regents, the three parties were fighting for power, and there was a queen mother in the harem who vaguely felt like she was listening to politics behind the curtain.

The entire high-ranking officials in the Wei Dynasty did not approve of the empress, and they were even ready to join a certain prince, just waiting for the time to come, brothers, the knife is in hand.

At this juncture, the Great Wei Dynasty still issued precious banknotes?
Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst?
The issuance of precious banknotes, the first stage, the carnival of the class, the six ministries have money, and start to spend money crazily.

This is like a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights, seeing a table full of food, must be crazy.

Will you still eat slowly?

After the six ministries finished taking the silver, the clan began to take the silver. After the clan finished taking the money, the Ministry of War would definitely ask for it alone.

At this time, an illusion appeared. The right to print money was in the hands of the court, and money suddenly seemed worthless.

Just like in the previous life, [-] cash is a thick stack, and [-] bank cards are just a string of numbers.

If you are asked to give some money to a beggar on the roadside, you will hesitate to take ten yuan, and if you are asked to tip a dancing lady, it is like a Huazi with her eyes closed.

Then there is Crazy India Crazy India.

Get rid of any inflation, as long as I print more, the court will not be short of money. Zimbabwe next door smiled and clapped, ah, yes, yes, yes, that’s it, yes, this is very right.

In three months, the common people will realize that the precious banknotes in their hands seem worthless.

Merchants began to increase the value of items, and the value of treasures depreciated wildly.

In six months, the treasure notes originally worth 100 taels could only buy [-] taels of things.

One year, good news, great news, 1 taels of treasure banknotes are freshly released, not nine thousand eight, but nine nine eight, not nine hundred and ninety-eight taels, nine hundred and ninety-eight taels can be exchanged for one.

What are you buying for?It must be bought as a souvenir. Do you still expect this thing to be valuable?
Then you can meet the wrath of the people.

The savings of a lifetime were emptied in an instant, and public resentment turned into a storm.

When a voice sounds, Da Wei can start the countdown.

This sound is a simple eight characters.

Princes and generals, I would rather have a seed.

So after some calculations, Xu Shouyun came to a conclusion.

Officials who advocate the promotion of the Great Wei Baochao can seriously check it out. They are either spies or beasts.

Damn, it's really harmful.

Fortunately.

The demise of the Great Wei was a good thing for him, Xu Shouyun let out a long breath, feeling very happy.

Putting this thought aside, Xu Shouyun took out the annotated edition of 'Gentleman' that Li Yun lent him.

He doesn't care about Baochao's matter, and waits for the connector to find him.

Things have come to this, let's study Confucianism first.
