I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 201 Lao Zhu: He is more suitable to be emperor than us!
Yangshan.

Maybe it's because I haven't managed politics for a long time and I'm not so tired.

Since Lao Zhu arrived in Yangshan, his health has gradually improved a lot.

Relatively much better.

He has an impatient temper.

After feeling well, I started reading again.

Lao Zhu didn't know much about literacy when he was a child.

But he is very studious and eager to learn.

Throughout the rest of his life, even if he was on the battlefield, as long as he had a moment of leisure, he would seize the time to read and study.

Therefore, Lao Zhu, who only went to the Enlightenment School for one or two years, and by the standards of later generations, is only equivalent to the third grade of elementary school, has raised his cultural level to a very high level through hard self-study.

He has read a lot of historical books by heart.

In terms of future generations, people with only a third-grade education in elementary school have completed all courses for undergraduates and even postgraduates by themselves.

This is no exaggeration.

This shows his strong learning ability.

With such talent and perseverance, if one were born into a wealthy family in a peaceful and prosperous age, he would be able to become a high school scholar, or even the top scholar.

Even if he was born in a poor family, even if there is no room for rebellion, he can probably change his fate against the sky and create a brilliant life of his own.

After all, Lao Zhu's abilities in all aspects are really too strong.

After reading the book today, he fell asleep on the recliner.

A eunuch serving next to him began to report to him what had happened in the capital and various places in the Ming Dynasty recently.

Although I am no longer in charge of politics.

But Lao Zhu knew all about Daming's movements.

"His Royal Highness has issued new banknotes for several months, and today's common people have already abandoned the original silver and copper coins, rushing to use the new banknotes."

"Officials and ordinary people are very welcoming to the new banknotes. They also gave the new banknotes an alias called RMB."

"Listen, Lord Long Live, this name is really good!"

Lao Zhu lay there with his eyes closed, but the expression on his face still changed a lot.

"We remember that when the new banknotes were first issued, the people didn't really believe it, right?"

He opened his eyes and asked suddenly.

"you do not say!"

The old eunuch said softly: "If you don't talk about His Royal Highness, you are really a genius."

"He first raised [-] million taels of silver by issuing national bonds."

"These people who don't believe in new banknotes want to exchange silver, so we open the door for them to exchange."

"In the end, tens of millions of taels of silver were exchanged."

"Nowadays, everyone also believes that the renminbi is equivalent to a waste of money, and there is no need to change it."

"Even, there are many people who took the initiative to exchange silver for RMB!"

Lao Zhu is silent.

for a long time.

Sighed: "We always thought that the people in Wu and Yue areas are used to copper coins, gold and silver. We have exhausted all means and various severe punishments and laws to let them use Daming banknotes, but they just don't use them."

"For this reason, we have chopped off many people's heads, but it still doesn't work."

"Unexpectedly, now Xier actually uses this method to make the common people use precious banknotes?"

"Yeah!"

He sighed.

"When Biao'er was here before, he once told us that the kind of emperor he has will have the same kind of ministers and the same kind of people."

"If the emperor was the king of Yao and Shun, his ministers would naturally be wise and the people would naturally obey him."

"If the emperor is cruel, the ministers and people will also regard the emperor as an enemy."

"We scolded him severely at that time. When you are an emperor, you must make your ministers and people fear you."

"Only relying on benevolence and virtue, how can we win the world and stabilize the country?"

"If it were really that easy, we wouldn't need to use a knife to rebel. We could just speak with our mouths and educate them with kindness, and we could win the country. Isn't that a big joke?"

"Those guys are all fearful of power and unethical."

"Only by picking up the sword and killing, killing, killing... until you make them all afraid of you, can you secure your position and be the emperor."

"This is how we conquer the world."

"But now it seems that we were wrong."

"Ruling the world is not the same as conquering the world!"

"We killed so many people, the common people still don't use Daming treasures."

"Only Fu'er's method can make them all accept it."

When he said this, his expression suddenly changed again, and he asked again: "Didn't Er'er also stipulate that new banknotes can also be used to buy grain from the treasury, and prices are not allowed to increase? I heard that people who use new banknotes to buy grain are not here yet." few."

"How much food is left in the treasury now?"

Lao Zhu was very concerned about this.

Food is the foundation of the country.

It is useless to guard a pile of money without food.

In the past, Ming treasure notes could not be used to buy grain from the court, so there was no such concern.

But now Zhu Yunxi changed his method.

"Long live my Lord, granaries across the country are now filled with food."

"His Royal Highness, also ordered to build a lot of granaries."

"The amount of food in the Ming Dynasty's treasury has more than doubled compared to before."

The old eunuch's wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"What?" Lao Zhu's expression changed, he got up from the recliner, and said in shock and confusion: "Why is this? Those people got new banknotes, but didn't buy food?"

"Buy, but not much." The old eunuch explained: "The people who came to buy food with new banknotes are all poor people."

"They don't have much money in their hands. They couldn't buy food with the old Daming banknotes. Later, when they got new banknotes, they rushed to buy food."

"But they don't have much money, and they don't have a big granary at home, so they just buy a little grain to eat, and the amount is not much."

"However, those rich and powerful households, hearing that the imperial court will promote the planting of sweet potatoes on a large scale next year, all think that food prices will drop."

"So I rushed to sell the grain and exchange it for silver."

"The new banknotes can be exchanged for silver at will, so they all sold the grain on hand to the imperial court."

"They store a lot of food in large amounts."

"In this way, the food in the treasury has not decreased, but has more than doubled."

"In today's Ming Dynasty, the national treasury has endless money and endless food. Your Highness Taisun is really a genius in governing the country."

Lao Zhu's face suddenly seemed to freeze.

Immediately.

He laughed.

"Unexpectedly, we handed over the Ming Dynasty to him to govern, and in such a short period of time, he managed the Ming Dynasty so well."

His voice suddenly stopped.

He seemed to be talking to himself, and then asked the old eunuch: "Do you think we, the emperor, are unqualified? After ruling the world for so long, the treasury has never had any money, and there is not much food stored."

"Now, Fu'er can accumulate so much money and food for the national treasury. As emperor, isn't he much better than us?"

Once this question is raised, it can stump the old eunuch.

This is completely a proposition!

Can he say that the emperor is not good, or that the grandson is not good?

Fortunately, after all, the old eunuch has been with Lao Zhu for many years, and he is experienced and resourceful.

Although he broke out in a cold sweat when he was asked, in an instant, he had already thought of the answer in his heart.

With a plop, he knelt down.

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler who conquers the world, and His Highness the Great Sun is a genius in governing the country and managing money."

"Your Majesty created a great Ming Dynasty and created a foundation for all generations."

"His Royal Highness Taisun will continue to carry forward the past and carry forward His Majesty's ambition to govern the world."

"Your Majesty and Grandson each have their own duties and specialties. The fate of this destiny is exactly what the Ming Dynasty should be passed on from generation to generation, and Mingjun will be born from generation to generation. The line will last forever, and the country will last forever."

"Well said!" Lao Zhu stood up, his old demeanor faded away, and he looked majestic.

"Our old Zhu family has a successor!"

He was very happy and in a good mood.

"Go and send the order to prepare for singing and dancing. We are going to have a good drink tonight."

The old eunuch suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Lao Zhu's health was not good, and the imperial physician repeatedly told him not to drink alcohol.

But the holy will is hard to violate.

At this moment, someone from outside reported.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Taisun came to see you!"

"Pass it, pass it quickly! What else are you reporting, let him in!"

As Lao Zhu said this, he took three steps and two steps at a time, heading straight outside.
