People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 355: One hundred and fifty million taels of silver have been obtained from the Japanese slaves! ! It’s time to buy the dip in Nanyang!

Chen Han was walking on the street at this time, and the people respected Chen Han very much.

When the officials saw that Chen Han was no longer the same as before, they were afraid just because Chen Han was in a high position.

Instead, he went forward and shouted sincerely: "My lord, do you have time to go to court today?"

During this period, Chen Han has been busy with the rectification of Daming Engineering College and the relocation of the school.

In addition, he is busy working with the Ministry of Commerce to formulate various economic policies around the world.

Although in formulating economic policies, Chen Han still needs to consult Xia Yuanji.

But he has already recruited many talents.

Nowadays, the Department of Commerce has more than 400 talents, which is the most among any single yamen in the capital.

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao were very supportive of Chen Han.

The Minister of Rites laughed loudly: "Yes, yes!"

Along the way, other officials recommended their sons and daughters to study at the Ming Dynasty Institute of Engineering.

Besides, my eldest son is now enrolled in Daming Engineering College.

This was a bit sorry for his son, but Chen Han was helpless.

He is willing to study at your Daming Engineering College, I think it should be good.

What do you think of this answer? "

Although he has given birth to a son, he does not have time to have a warm father-son relationship with his son.

Chen Han said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let your little son give it a try tomorrow. If he is really good at it and really likes it, then it doesn't matter. If he just wants to watch the fun and fulfill your personal wish, then I won't Supported.

Chen Han asked back: "Master Bu Tang, you are the Minister of Rites. Will it make people laugh if you ask your son to study in my engineering college?"

If he wants to take the imperial examination, let him take the imperial examination.

The Minister of Rites stroked his beard and smiled: "I went to study at your Daming Engineering College, but it can't affect his imperial examination.

I think he has met the qualifications to enter Daming Engineering College. What do you think? "

Chen Han laughed loudly: "If such a talented young man comes to our Daming Engineering College, maybe we can give him a children's class and let him teach my group of children to read and write."

As Chen Han walked on the way into the palace, the ministers beside him all complimented him: "Master, my son is now thirteen years old. Does he meet the qualifications to enter your Daming Engineering College?
If it doesn't work, how about I ask him to take an assessment?
This boy began to read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five, and began to compose his own poems at the age of six.

During this process, Chen Han was of course very proud of himself and was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

He is still ranked 20th in the second class. Although he has not yet been assigned an official, he has already achieved success in the imperial examination.

How about I ask you a favor here? Letting my thirteen-year-old son enroll in school would be an exception. "

"Then it's settled. You agreed. You are the Duke of the country, so you must not break your promise."

Especially these ladies from Beijing officials, all of them are very active in wanting to join the female college of Ming Dynasty Institute of Engineering.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had completely ignored state affairs at this time, Prince Zhu Biao still consulted Zhu Yuanzhang on everything.

If he is happy studying at Daming Engineering College, then I, as a father, have no right to object.

This thing is fresh.

The women's colleges teach not only women's rules and the like, but also some specialized textile techniques and fine techniques.

Since there was no way for women to pass the imperial examination, they were very interested in women's colleges.

Especially during this period, under the promotion of Princess Jiangdu, the Women's College held various activities in teahouses, restaurants and even on the Qinhuai River in the capital.

Especially the textile speed competition won bursts of cheers.

Chen Han attended their event and hosted it himself.

So you can see clearly. In fact, although the Ming Dynasty was said to have strict etiquette and education, the lives of the people in private were quite rich.

Especially during the period after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, everyone only saw Zhu Yuanzhang's high-pressure policy.

But the high-pressure policy mainly targets officials.

As for ordinary people, there is not much impact under this policy, and they still have a lot of free space.

So a lot of people came to that event.

When everyone watched the women weaving quickly using Hongwu spinning machines and shuttle looms, they also felt that if they specialized in learning this kind of thing, they might have a better way out in the future.

The common people see it as miraculous, and of course more and more people want to join the women's college of Daming Engineering College.

In addition to teaching these skills, women's colleges also invite ladies who are literate to teach women cultural knowledge.

Most of the children of officials now want to join Daming Engineering College.

Chen Hanyi had a friendly chat with the officials who came and went, and then everyone went to court together.

In the court hall, Chen Han solemnly proposed the plan he had made.

"Your Highness and colleagues, the establishment of our Daming Engineering College has now entered its second phase.

The location of the second phase was selected outside the city beside the Martyrs' Shrine on the Qinhuai River.

In the future, Daming Engineering College will greatly expand its student enrollment.

In other words, we will have enough talents to emerge slowly.

I say this because what I am going to say next relates to this aspect. "

As he spoke, he looked at everyone and then said:

"Second, now the Ming Dynasty accepts more and more silver and gold from the Japanese slaves, which makes the value of our Ming Dynasty treasures getting higher and higher.

Under this situation, it would be really unsustainable if I, the Ming Dynasty, only digested it internally.

In this year and a half, as many as 150 million taels of silver and more than 3 million taels of gold came from the Japanese slaves.

Although the more gold and silver the better, when the Ming Dynasty's economic aggregate is not increasing as fast as the input of gold and silver,

The more gold and silver there are, the more they will depreciate, just like the more treasures were issued, the less valuable they became.

So we now want to actively expand our business territory.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to develop Lingnan into a new business circle, but within ten or twenty years, it would be difficult to take shape.
So we must keep our eyes on Nanyang.

Now the Ming Navy has opened a naval base in Nanyang and has received support from various countries in Nanyang.

They support us because we can continue to send merchant ships there.

Since the pirates were dealt with by our Ming Navy, maritime trade has become bigger and bigger.

I think it’s time to send out a large number of promotional fleets to purchase products from Southeast Asian countries.

We should promote the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes to various countries in Southeast Asia, so that they all recognize the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and let them all use the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.

Only in this way can we ensure that our Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are offset by the silver flowing in from the Japanese slaves.

Silver will not depreciate more and more, and banknotes will appreciate too quickly.

We should issue more treasure banknotes. "

But as soon as these words were spoken, the courtiers were stunned for a moment.

Because in the past, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes depreciated very quickly due to excessive over-issuance.

And if treasure banknotes start to be printed and issued again, will it once again cause the large area of ​​treasure banknotes that have just appreciated to fall in value?
