Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 56 Don't take our ancestral training seriously? (Please follow up! Ask for a monthly pass!)

Lao Zhu frowned and looked at Ji Boying seriously.

It can be seen from Lao Zhu's expression that he firmly believes what he said, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is very scientific.

Ji Boying smiled. What he was waiting for was Lao Zhu's question. In the Hongwu Dynasty and Yongle Dynasty in history, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong were all masters of printing money.

If you don't understand the horror of financial beasts, you will suffer big losses sooner or later.

Then, he turned his gaze to the several serving emperors in their seats.

"Yi, Bing, Ding, and Wu, four of you, come and tell your ancestors, in your respective dynasties, the price of a stone of rice."

Lao Zhu was taken aback, such a simple question needs to be answered by someone?
Isn't the price of one stone of rice the consistent banknote?
common sense!

All the three-year-olds on the street know it!
Jianwen Zhu, who was the first to be called, took a deep breath and looked at Lao Zhu.

"Father, you can buy a stone of rice with ten guan notes."

Before Lao Zhu had time to get mad, Yongle's Lao Zhu Di had already spoken.

"When I was in court, eighty guan could buy a stone of rice."

Xuande Zhu Zhanji frowned tightly, and also looked at Lao Zhu.

"To Emperor Taizu Gao, one thousand guan banknotes can buy one stone of rice."

One thousand strings?

Lao Zhu, who was still in astonishment at first, suddenly became angry, and slammed the grand master's chair and stood up.

"What kind of profiteer is this?!"

"We have to peel off the skin of these thieves!"

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, but didn't say a word: You are the biggest profiteer, and you are the kind who specializes in business without money.

"Old Zhu, don't get excited, you sit down first."

As soon as the words came out, Lao Zhu also reacted and nodded quickly.

"Brother, don't blame me, we're just a little too angry. It's lawless to ask for a thousand coins for a stone of rice!"

"Ah."

Ji Boying nodded slightly, then looked at the emperors in their seats, and said.

"That's called inflation."

"That is, under the conditions of currency circulation, the supply of money is greater than the actual demand, and the purchasing power is greater than the productivity, leading to currency depreciation, which in turn causes prices to continue to rise."

"Simply put, there's so much money that it's worthless."

Purchasing power?productive forces?Money is worthless?Is money still worthless?What is the logic?

Lao Zhu frowned more and more, feeling that his brain was hurting a little.

The Daming Treasure Banknote was a great masterpiece that he racked his brains to come up with, and he has always been proud of it. Indeed, the appearance of the Daming Treasure Banknote played a great role in the rapid recovery of the national strength in the early days of Hongwu.

But this operation is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and it consumes the national fortune.

And what makes the common people sniff the most is that you exchanged the banknotes for the silver in my hand, and then refused to let me pay taxes with the banknotes. What is the difference between this and being a rogue?
"Brother, what should we do then?"

The others were also staring at Ji Boying, with expectations for the answer in their eyes.

In their respective eras, the rapid depreciation of the Daming banknotes and the massive deposits of banknotes among the people were both a big headache.

In fact, in the Xuande period, the effectiveness of Daming banknotes was almost the same as that of waste paper, and it was only difficult to maintain by relying on imperial power.

After all, it is legal tender issued by the imperial court, so you can't deny it, right?

"Do you think this is a big problem?"

Ji Boying did not answer Lao Zhu's question immediately, but looked at the group of emperors.

Old Zhu Di nodded and answered first.

"The depreciation of precious banknotes is indeed a big problem. If it is not resolved, it will be even more troublesome for future generations."

Ji Boying glanced at old Zhu Di, if Xia Yuanji was here, he would definitely stand up.

Xia Yuanji: Your Majesty, why don’t you think it’s troublesome when you bang bang seal?No matter how much that guy tried to persuade him, it was useless. He laughed so much when printing money, he waved a small leather whip behind me wantonly, and beat me if he didn't print it...

Xuande and Zhu Zhanji sighed, and looked deeply at the old Zhu Di who had just spoken a few seats away. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

In the ten years of his Xuande, Daming treasures were a thing that a dog would feel hurt to wipe his butt with.

"Brother, since there is a problem with the treasure banknote, it is really impossible. When it is no longer usable, let's change it to another treasure banknote. Let's start from scratch. Wouldn't that solve the inflation?"

Lao Zhu spoke, and the theory became miraculous again.

This time, even his sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren were stunned. Although he didn't know what was wrong with his ancestor's words, it always sounded like something was wrong.

"You want to imitate the change of yuan? Don't you know that the change of yuan is the way to collapse the finances?"

Ji Boying really wanted to teach Lao Zhu what Zimbabwe is.

"so serious?"

Lao Zhu's face changed, he really didn't think about this, and he couldn't think of it either.

"Ah."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and spoke calmly.

"The country will perish."

As soon as the word subjugated country came out, Lao Zhu and these Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji all frowned. The word subjugated country they heard today exceeded everything they had heard in the first half of their lives.

"Let me ask you, forget it, just ask you directly."

"Wu Yi, don't look, it's you."

Ji Boying looked at Xuande Zhu Zhanji who was looking around.

Emperor Xuande, who was suddenly named, was taken aback for a moment, and then he straightened his back.

"Please ask the immortal master."

"During the Xuande period, the value of the banknotes depreciated by a thousand times, and the common people refused. How do the common people trade?"

Emperor Xuande took a deep breath, first glanced at Old Zhu, and then at Old Zhu Di.

"It's okay, just say, there are no grandparents in the classroom."

Ji Boying guided encouragement.

Emperor Xuande swallowed, took a deep breath, and spit out the word.

"silver."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu's expression changed instantly.

The national policy he made, the ancestral system he made, repeatedly ordered that silver should not be circulated among the people.

His grandma, those who are grandsons and great-grandchildren, those who favor eunuchs, those who use silver, those who use silver, all of them don't take our ancestral precepts seriously?This is tantamount to slapping us in the face naked!

　The next one, twelve o'clock at noon.

　　If it's on the shelf, I've talked with the editor, and I've set a preliminary time, and I'll start saving the manuscript from now on, and I'll blow it up for my brothers when the time comes!
　　Too much time is squeezed at work, so I can only stay up late to save, it is too hard, ask for a monthly pass!
