The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 112 Lord Ye said that Zhu Yuanzhang's rotten wood cannot be carved, the emperor's fatal problem!
This is the second time that the word incompetence has penetrated into the depths of Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it is also the second time that Empress Ma's willow eyebrows have slightly frowned.

Empress Ma immediately became suspicious!

She also didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let such a person with better eloquence than Wei Zheng in the history books enter the court.

His talent was really needed by the imperial court, but his eloquence was indeed life-threatening, whether it was his life, or the life of the emperor, and even the lives of civil and military officials of the whole dynasty!

Not to mention those who came here from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even she, the empress who thought she was kind enough, couldn't stop being kind.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang next to him, he was really as calm as water on the surface!
But she knew that under the calm water surface, a frozen sharp blade had already been prepared, which might break through the calm water surface at any time.

Thinking of this, when Empress Ma looked at Ye Qing again, her eyes were quite complicated, but the most obvious ones were expectations and fear.

She expects Ye Qing to continue, but also fears that Ye Qing will continue!

But Ye Qing didn't notice the difference between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, it's not that he couldn't find it, but he didn't care at all.

It can also be said that the result that Empress Ma was worried about was exactly the result that Ye Qing hoped for!
Ye Qing still only looked down at the sky outside the door, and continued to point out:

"Although His Majesty is decisive in killing and attacking officials and is extremely harsh on officials, he has a far more tolerant heart towards the common people than previous emperors, just because he was born as a low-level common people who suffered and suffered."

"As far as the heart is concerned, I have never hesitated to praise it!"

Although Ye Qing wanted to be bestowed to death by Zhu Yuanzhang so that he could go home and live the life he really wanted, but he was also a descendant from the future.

Objective and pertinent comments are the respect for history and the martyrs!

As a pure son of Huaxia, he also knows that the only belief in Huaxia is not the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but the ancestors and martyrs who laid down the living space for future generations!

Where he should be praised, he will definitely not hesitate to praise, even if it is his mission target Zhu Yuanzhang!
He's not going to go to the point of going home without any reason to gossip, that kind of thing that calls people's merits a crime, Ye Qing will never do it!
Fortunately, the target of his mission is Zhu Yuanzhang. The emperor himself is half white and half black. He only needs to tell the part-time imperial envoy about his black half through his own 'processing'.

As long as this part-time imperial envoy returns to Beijing and tells the truth, his death edict will be obtained!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing continued to teach: "His Majesty has done a very good job in assimilating foreign races."

"They are not allowed to marry into the same race, and they are only allowed to enter into marriages with Huaxia people. As long as this group of people dies, there will be no more than three generations, and their descendants will only remember Huaxia Chinese characters!"

"Not only that, but in terms of the current national conditions, it also demonstrates his benevolence. It is indeed a strategy that benefits both the present and the future!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a faint smile of satisfaction at the corner of his mouth, and sat up straight unconsciously.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Empress Ma nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"It seems that this kid can still talk, just need to add a little bit."

But when Empress Ma thought of this, she only saw Ye Qing's eyes, and immediately there was a very obvious look of disdain.

Gathering, she heard Ye Qing's obviously mocking voice again.

Ye Qing continued: "But what he did next is enough to prove that he is indeed not very knowledgeable, short-sighted, and shallow-sighted!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the little smile he managed to squeeze on his face disappeared in an instant.

His expression at the moment can be said to be extremely calm, as calm as a sculpture without expression, or it can be said that his face is the expression of 'emotions and anger are invisible'.

But he looked at Ye Qing's unblinking eyes, which made Empress Ma's heart rise to her throat again.

At this moment, Empress Ma can be said to be more looking forward to and more afraid than before!
But Ye Qing continued to teach: "He didn't know at all, it can be said that he never thought about how rich these Semu people and Mengyuan people who settled in China are."

"I can assure you that these Semu people and Meng Yuan people who have obtained Ming nationality, the real gold and silver in their families add up to a number that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of at all."

"Counting from the eighth year of Zhiyuan to the first year of Hongwu, the former Yuan invaded the Central Plains for 98 years!"

"During the past 98 years, the Semu people have been playing the role of helping the Mongolian people bully my Chinese people, that is, the Mongolian people's thugs."

"Helping the master to oppress others will naturally reap some benefits, so these Semu people living in the pass are either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen!"

"As for the Mongolian Yuan people living in the pass, needless to say, they are also high-ranking officials and nobles and wealthy businessmen!"

"For nearly a hundred years, they don't know how much gold and silver wealth they have exploited?"

"It is precisely because of this that they would rather become citizens of the Ming Dynasty than move out of their family properties in the pass, so they have become today's Daming-born Semu merchants and Daming-born Mongolian Yuan merchants!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and said with deep eyes: "I want to ask you, these new Han merchants, can they do business with these Ming Dynasty sex mothers and Mongolian Yuan merchants who have been exploited for hundreds of years and have countless gold and silver at home?"

"This"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't answer, his eyes seemed to understand.

Empress Ma's eyes also changed, the look of anticipation was more obvious than the look of fear.

Ye Qing saw that Mr. Guo couldn't answer, and didn't bother to look at him, and continued to look at the world outside the door and said: "If your majesty continues to treat people equally like this, the new Han merchants will definitely become their dinner!"

"And what I have done can be said to have become the remedy for His Majesty's bad policy!"

"My official stipulates that Ming Dynasty Sebang and Mongolian merchants must pay taxes with half of the precious banknotes and half of the equivalent gold and silver. This can not only effectively recover the wealth exploited by them, but also allow them to find a little sense of superiority in comparison with the treatment of foreign merchants."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing continued: "They don't care about the differential treatment from Han merchants from the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, gold, silver and precious banknotes are just the word 'money'!"

"As long as they can make money, they don't care if it's gold, silver, copper, iron or paper!"

"As for foreign business travelers, they don't care much. If they pay [-] gold coins and [-] silver coins with me, they will definitely earn more than [-] gold coins and [-] silver coins with interest after returning home with my goods!"

"After earning money, they will naturally send gold and silver to me non-stop, and even send more each time!"

"."

Ye Qing continued to teach, and even talked about some knowledge of geography and minerals.

In fact, there are not many precious metal deposits in Huaxia, and the deposits are relatively deep, making mining difficult, and because the ore has many impurities, smelting is extremely difficult.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang's goal of issuing gold and silver banknotes could not be realized by all the gold and silver mines in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Even issuing a copper coin is not a real 'standard'!
Of course, Ye Qing didn't say the reason why the precious banknotes depreciated so much!

In his opinion, he lived in this era for at most two months, and it was useless to say too much. If he hadn't personally operated it, he would have been unable to prevent the depreciation of the treasure at all!

After all, there is too much knowledge here, and it cannot be done with a few words of advice.

He only told Master Guo one thing, that is, to make up for this deficiency by obtaining foreign gold and silver.

In this world, there are many countries with rich reserves of precious metals, and it is also easy to mine and smelt!

The first to bear the brunt is the country of Japanese slaves across the sea!

Just give such a direction. As for what Master Guo will do after he goes back and tells Zhu Yuanzhang, that is his business.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to write those so-called [countries without conquest] into the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", he, Ye Qing, could only say "rotten wood can't be carved"!
"Okay, the lesson is over!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he immediately looked at the copper kettle dripping glass he asked you to prepare.

As soon as the copper pot dripped and no water came out, he immediately kicked these people out with 'the crime of failing to negotiate a deal when the time came'.

In this way, these part-time imperial envoys will hurry back and complain!
But in his eyes, the copper pot hourglass is still dripping!
Looking at this scene, Ye Qing also frowned slightly, he only felt that the copper pot hourglass today was a bit strange.

He always feels that half an hour has passed, and this is only enough to drip water for half an hour, why is it still dripping?
But soon he stopped thinking that way, probably because he was looking forward to it too much, so he had the illusion that time passed slowly.

But when Ye Qing was looking at the copper pot dripping in wonder, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma suddenly became enlightened.

Empress Ma looked at Ye Qing's side face, there was almost no fear in her eyes, her eyes were full of anticipation.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang still had no expression on his face, he praised Ye Qing in his heart.

"This is the talent we need!"

"To put it bluntly, his method is to wipe our ass!"

"But this person's eloquence will not change, and he will die in our hands sooner or later. We really have no confidence that we can stand his eloquence!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing with a love-hate relationship.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Empress Ma and said, "Ma'am, the old rules, talk to the empress after you go back, and let the empress talk to your majesty again."

Empress Ma saw that the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was smiling, so she replied with a smile, "Yes, sir!"

In the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang praised Ye Qing for the first time.

After saying a few good words, his gaze became sharp again: "We have one more question!"

"We have heard that Master Ye said that His Majesty did not do well enough because he has too many sons."

"Master Ye, please continue to teach me!".
　I ask the officials to recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and subscription support, thank you!
