At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 3 Make Ming Great Again

Zhu Dafu, this man or Zhu Cixiang is quickly consuming the imperial meal that he only eats once a day. This body has slept all day today, and he feels hungry when he comes up. Now the Ming Dynasty's finances are already stretched thin, and the palace's The cost of food and clothing has also been reduced continuously. The leftovers in front of me can be vaguely seen as three dishes and one soup. At this time, various seasonings that were widely used in later generations in the Ming Dynasty had not yet emerged, but these simple ingredients were used by the imperial chef in the palace. It turned decay into magic, making Zhu Cixiang move his index finger.

Only then did Zhu Cixiang feel that the initial benefits of this body were pretty good. Although it was a pair of two-month and four-day Da Ming Tai Prince experience cards, it was indeed the same as Penguin Games. Within the membership period, it was still available. Be a dad.

Although according to history, this Prince Experience Card will be scrapped and the Penguin Membership VIP will expire in two months, but as long as he can leave Beijing and enter Nanjing within these two months, then his Prince There is a possibility that the experience card is stuck on Earth ONLINE due to a bug and has been renewed.

The end of Beijing does not mean the end of the Ming Dynasty. You must know that after Emperor Chongzhen Meishan hanged himself, the Nanming Dynasty still existed for more than ten years, and the people of the Zheng family also resisted the Qing Dynasty for almost 40 years.

In addition to the more than 270 years of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 40 years of resistance, but this still did not last for two generations when the Ming Dynasty was the orthodox emperor. If Zhu Cixiang, the man of destiny, is allowed to run the Ming Dynasty now, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to do anything. Same result, right?However, it was too small to allow the Ming Dynasty to persist for a few more years. It was not Zhu Cihong's style to be a coward like the Southern Song Dynasty.

By the way, what are the political sayings of the great Twitter leader on the other side of the ocean in the [-]th century?

"That's right!"

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhu Cihong's hands suddenly grasped the air, as if he had opened an accordion, his mouth was beeping, imitating the tone of the Internet god who countless people in the future pay attention to, "let Daming great again!"

"Make Ming Dynasty great again!"

"Big treasure!"

Eunuch Dabao, who was waiting on Zhu Cixiang's meal, was startled when he saw Zhu Cixiang's unusual behavior. He was a little confused. Why did this thousand-year-old master suddenly behave so strangely? Could it be that his soul was replaced while he was sleeping? , his mouth was full of nonsense, and his temperament completely changed.

His mind drifted to Jiutian for a moment, but was brought back by Zhu Cixiang's words. Huang Dabao quickly leaned over and said, "Master Qiansui, please give me your instructions."

"Our Ming Dynasty is now in such a rough and turbulent land. Tell me, why is it like this?"

Why is this so?This is not obvious. Don’t you, the prince, understand it at all?It's not your emperor's father. Thinking back to the Tianqi Dynasty... The thoughts in his heart stopped abruptly. Huang Dabao shrank his head subconsciously, not daring to think more.

"Back to a thousand years old, I don't understand very well."

Huang Dabao shook his head simply. Huang Dabao felt that he still had a lot of life to live, but he couldn't end up like this just because of a wrong word, and was secretly jealous of the prince.

"Oh?"

Zhu Cixiang immediately glanced at Huang Dabao with deep meaning, and said in a somewhat unemotional tone, "My companion is still telling me this? I don't quite understand, I just don't understand it very well. Just say what you understand, and I won't blame you."

It’s easy to say that Zhu Dafu has visited the Ming Dynasty. Internet articles about historical soul-transportation-flesh-transportation are emerging in endlessly in the 21st century. No matter what he says, he knows the major reasons that promoted the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty, but for this era He really wanted to know the characters' views. After all, the perspectives were different when living in the era and outside the era. He had to listen to both to understand.

Huang Dabao suddenly had a bad premonition when he saw Zhu Cixi, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, looking at him with a meaningful glance. "A little bit, I only understand a little bit." Huang Dabao broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. Knowing that now was an opportunity to make up for his past mistakes, he hurriedly said, "This situation is partly because the treasury is out of money."

"A little? It's obviously because the treasury has no money that the world's situation has become like this." Shaking his head, Zhu Cixiang stopped making things difficult for Huang Dabao. During Chongzhen's more than ten years in power, starting from the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign, Zhu Cixiang He often accompanied Chongzhen to court, and allowed Zhu Cixiang to watch and teach when Chongzhen was giving instructions.

Therefore, in terms of political history, Prince Zhu Cihong was cultivated by Emperor Chongzhen as his successor. Now, because of time travel, Zhu Cihong's brain's memory ability is at its peak, so he can naturally master these things at his fingertips.

He was constantly calculating in his mind and briefly analyzed the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the West is in the Age of Discovery. Based on this era, bulk goods such as silk, porcelain, and tea produced in the Ming Dynasty are being sold around the world. At the same time, huge amounts of silver produced in the New World of America are flowing into the Ming Dynasty. In the past hundred years, the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty has There are four to five hundred million taels, which translates to a trade volume of several million taels per year.

And this huge amount of silver inflow into the absorbing market will last until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and then it will slowly turn into an outflow of silver and go to the world. In other words, there will be a cycle of the entire China absorbing the huge amount of wealth from the world, and there will be nearly 300 years. .

Based on the location of this market, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty established the so-called prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong in a short period of time. This also shows that the land of China where the Ming Dynasty is located actually has unlimited resources and wealth.

So, is Daming’s current problem still a lack of money?In general, a country has been absorbing the wealth of the entire world for nearly 300 years. Will this be like having no money?

"During the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, I had an income of more than 3000 million taels a year, but now, the total wealth of the treasury in the 16 years of Chongzhen is only more than 1000 million taels when converted into silver."

Zhu Cihong lightly tapped the table with his hands, countless enlightenments flashed in his heart, he gritted his teeth, "It's not that I have no money in Daming, but that the treasury of Daming has no money, and according to the situation where the country is about to perish, the money has not been forced out, which means that I have no money." It’s time for Ming Dynasty to have to reform.”

"Reform? Could it be someone like Mr. Zhang who clears his land for his father-in-law?"

Huang Dabao was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't dare to say more, but he seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, the crown prince, the governor next to your majesty wants to see you. He didn't come to bother you when he saw you having dinner just now. ”

"We will discuss the reform later. Let's meet with the Governor Wang now."

Zhu Cixiang stood up, and he finally understood the purpose of this king's governor coming. This king was the eunuch Bingbi, the admiral of Dongchang, and he hanged himself in Meishan with Emperor Chongzhen. Wang Cheng'en, whose name has gone down in history, and now When I went to see this person, I think the emperor Zhu Cixi wanted to see how he was doing, but he couldn't get away, so he asked this person to come over on his behalf.

Perhaps the renewal of this Prince Experience Card depends on this person.

　The new book season needs to be taken care of, please recommend.
