Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"My son-in-law dies to protest against the Baochao system!"

In Shuangshui Village, under the gaze of everyone, Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I will die to advise against the Baochao system."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect that Mei Yin would actually die for this.

By the way, the Baochao system was his masterpiece.

And before this, he had heard that Mei Yin had many objections to the treasure note system he issued.

Just over a month after he issued the Baochao, he said that the Baochao would inevitably depreciate in the future.
Become worthless.

He also asked those people in Shuangshui Village who had made money with him to spend the money they earned quickly and buy some things to save at home.

I was so angry at the time that I kept cursing, saying that Mei Yin was just exaggerating.

Deliberately belittle one's own Baochao system.

Later, his family Biaoer arrived at Shuangshui Village and met this guy Mei Yin.

This guy also told his family logo about similar things.

And let Biaoer tell him about this.

After hearing it, I felt that Biaoer was still exaggerating.

Even if there were some problems with the Baochao, they would definitely not be as serious as Mei Yin said.

However, I didn't expect that this bastard would actually cause a stir today!
After hearing the content of Mei Yin's death admonition, Crown Prince Zhu Biao was also stunned.

He was deeply impressed by the Baochao system.

After all, my second brother-in-law had really told me before that there was a big problem with the Baochao.

Tell me all the things and let me tell my father.

I said it myself.

Why is it that my second brother-in-law is now making a desperate appeal?

After a moment of confusion, I immediately figured out the problem.

It was probably my second brother-in-law who talked to me about it for a long time.

My father still did not take any action, and the Baochao system continued to operate.

Nothing has changed.

That's why the second brother-in-law couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to make a death-defying remonstrance to his father.

Zhu Biao had previously discovered some patterns regarding his second brother-in-law's death as a result of his remonstration.

As long as the second brother-in-law makes a death-defying remonstrance to the emperor, the emperor will take what the second sister says very seriously.

Even in a short period of time, this matter will not be resolved.

I will think about it more and consider it.

But after my second brother-in-law asked me to talk to my father about the treasure notes, my father did not take any action.

According to my second brother-in-law, the Baochao system is extremely harmful.

If it is not solved in time, it will cause particularly serious problems in the future.

Under such circumstances, his second brother-in-law could not help but make a death-defying remonstration to his father at this moment. That... seemed unexpected, but also reasonable.

It’s just… at this time, it’s still not a good idea to talk about this matter.

If not handled properly, the situation could be even more serious than when the second brother-in-law made a death appeal to his father at the Lantern Festival dinner.

After all, there were still few people at the Lantern Festival dinner at that time.

And they are all relatives.

But now the situation is very different.

That was when all the civil and military officials were present.

Moreover, this incident happened when my father was particularly happy.

Even if my father understood that what my second brother-in-law did was reasonable, it is impossible for him to be free of guilt.

The nature of things is different.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but break into a sweat.

At the same time, I also understood the painstaking efforts of my second brother-in-law.

And I have a deeper understanding of the harm of the Baochao system.

If it weren't for this, my second brother-in-law would never choose to take such a risk at this time.
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Liu Bowen couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, he did not realize that at this time, Mei Yin was making a death-defying remonstrance against Zhu Yuanzhang about the Baochao system.

This was also something he had not expected.

Just now, many things flashed through his mind.

I couldn't help wondering what Mei Yin, the good grandson-in-law, was planning to do during his death.

Who would have thought that what he would talk about at this time was the Baochao system, something absolutely unexpected!

His heart suddenly began to lift.

He knew very well how sensitive the Baochao system was.

The Baochao system had certain problems, and Liu Bowen knew some of them.

Before this, he had also advised Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was precisely because of this advice that we knew how determined Zhu Yuanzhang was to implement the Baochao system.

Now, his good grandson-in-law actually came to him to make a death remonstrance in front of all the civil and military officials.

It's simply killing me!
What is this about being a good grandson-in-law?

How come this happened suddenly?
He just made a death-defying remonstrance to the emperor on the issue of the treasure banknotes at other times.

That would be better than now.

He really is asking for death!

There is no such thing!
Liu Bowen was in a very bad mood at this time.

He kept racking his brain, thinking about what he should do next to save the life of his good grandson-in-law.

I had finally managed to make him my grandson-in-law and he became a talisman for my son.

It can't just disappear like this!

If it really were to disappear like this, it would be a huge loss!

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt.

Liu Bowen's brain was about to smoke.
Even so, I still don’t know what to do!

The situation was really too big and the incident happened suddenly.

I couldn't think of a better solution at the moment.

At this time, Hu Weiyong was also slightly stunned after hearing Mei Yin's words of death advice.

Then, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

I think Mei Yin is really courting death!
The emperor just named him the Earl of Shuangshui, freeing him from his lowly status of farming and feeding pigs. He made some contributions by relying on sweet potatoes, but now he doesn't even know his last name?

What is seeking death?
What does it mean that excessive joy leads to sorrow?
Mei Yin is doing this in a typical way.

He dared to make a death-defying remonstrance to the emperor at this time, and the remonstrance was about the extremely sensitive issue of treasure notes.

Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself? You don't even know how to write the word death.

As the prime minister of the Secretariat, he knew very well how much importance His Majesty attached to this matter.

However, at this time, Mei Yin offended Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if he is the emperor's son-in-law and has just made a contribution, he still can't keep it!
Mei Yi was in a better mood at this time.

If it's not the right occasion, you need to consider your image and the impact.

He couldn't help but dance...

However, while everyone was shocked, they all held their breath and no one dared to make any sound.

Watching the fun is one thing, but if the fun happens to you and you become the fun itself, then that would be too much fun!

Your Majesty today looks like a firecracker that is about to explode at any moment.

Moreover, it is extremely powerful, and if you are not careful, it can destroy the entire family, or even the entire nine clans.

At this time, the eyes of countless people looking at Mei Yin changed.

There was incomprehension, amazement, and it felt like I was looking at a fool.

I don’t know what Mei Yin is thinking.

What a good opportunity, he just wasted it!
Not only was it wasted, but it also caused the emperor to be in this state.

Now, it turns out that the great contribution of sweet potatoes has been lost.

It's so stupid that it can't be more stupid!
I have never seen such an idiot!
Even if there are some problems with the Nengbao notes, you are not the only one affected.

But everyone is affected!
Moreover, according to Mei Yin's status and wealth, he was greatly affected by the treasure notes.

To him, that was just a drop in the bucket.

It won’t affect his life, and won’t prevent him from enjoying delicious food or spicy drinks.

There was absolutely no need for him to take risks and do these things.

Anyway, the most unlucky people are not the officials, but the ordinary people.

Now, why take such a risk and do such a thing?

Which of the people would accept his kindness?

Still too young!

There were also some people who, while feeling shocked, could not help but express their gratitude to Mei Yin.

Because since Baochao was introduced, the salaries of all of them have been changed into Baochao.

They also don't want this precious banknote.

This is especially true for those who rely on salaries to make a living.

Whenever the imperial court issued a salary, they would spend it immediately and buy things to keep at home...

They were also suffering terribly because of the treasure notes.

However, they are all angry but dare not speak out.

After all, if you don't say anything, this treasure banknote can still be used as money to buy some things.

Able to take care of life at home.

If that were said, it is very likely that Baochao would not be used in the future.

Now there is a young man like Mei Yin who dares to say such words to the emperor at this time.

That couldn't be better.

“Baochao is extremely dangerous!
It will inevitably cause countless troubles in the future.

It will certainly make people's lives miserable and many people will suffer misfortune!

The national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly weakened!

Your Majesty has always said that he cares about the people of the world and that he never forgets his roots.

However, from what I know and see, many of your Majesty’s actions are not consistent with what you say!
For example, this treasure note is a chaotic policy that harms the people!

The people worked hard to produce food and do some manual labor, working themselves to death and saving a little from their teeth.

As a result, all the things they made were exchanged by Your Majesty for paper banknotes.

And your Majesty, you exchanged so many things for just some paper-made things!"

Mei Yin opened fire on Zhu Yuanzhang with full force.

He hit Zhu Yuanzhang's pain points right from the start.

These words made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that veins on his forehead bulged.

The anger was rising.

This bastard, he dares to say anything!

If it were something else, Zhu Yuanzhang might have been able to endure it a little longer.

But he really couldn't stand being accused of forgetting his roots, of harming the people, of saying one thing and doing another!
How could Zhu Yuanzhang ever forget his roots!

Since he ascended the throne, he has been working day and night to make this country stronger.

Compared with the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people's lives are much better now!
Although there are still some problems, overall the situation is getting better and better.

It is constantly improving.

As a result, now, this bastard has ruined all the hard work he has done just by opening his mouth!!
"Fuck your mother!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang started to curse directly, his voice was a little hoarse.

The eyeballs are a little red.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, it looked as ugly as it could be!
All the civil and military officials around were silent, too frightened to even breathe!

Some people even had cold sweat on their foreheads!

Although they knew that the emperor was not angry with them.

But just watching from the side, they still felt scared unconsciously.

so horrible!

When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die and blood will flow for thousands of miles. This is not nonsense!

"Why have we forgotten our roots again?
Why are you harming the people again?
The treasure notes are printed by us, so we recognize them.

After people get the money, they can spend it as money.

You can buy other things, how can it be regarded as harming the people?

Explain it to him clearly!
Otherwise, I will skin you alive today!!!"

At this time, all the emotions that Zhu Yuanzhang had felt when Mei Yin planted sweet potatoes disappeared in an instant.

I couldn't help but grit my teeth at Mei Yin again.

This bastard, if he doesn't get beaten for three days, he'll just tear off the roof!

You can't give him a good face!

Don't praise him! I just praised him, but this bastard did this to me!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s mood was simply indescribable!
I really want to kill someone!
Although he had heard similar words before from spies and his own family members.

But at this time, Mei Yin said this in front of all the civil and military officials.

It still made him feel extremely annoyed!
I was furious, that's not enough to describe it!
It is unimaginable how terrible a founding emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang would be once he got angry!
Normally, for a minister in a high position of power, just a look from Zhu Yuanzhang or a gloomy expression would be enough to make many people feel frightened.

Some people even knelt down.

No matter how much I have to say, I dare not say it.

Now, the emperor started cursing in front of all the civil and military officials.

His face was frighteningly gloomy, and murderous intent was constantly emanating from him.

Under such circumstances, many ministers dared not even breathe.

But Mei Yin seemed not to notice Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

Not only was he not afraid, he seemed a little excited.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's almost cannibalistic gaze, he straightened up his hunched body.

"The fact that the treasure notes are becoming less valuable day by day is the greatest testimony and the greatest act of cruelty to the people!

When Your Majesty issued this banknote, the largest denomination was worth one tael.

It is equivalent to using some paper to exchange for things of equal value from the people at the price of real gold and silver.

However, after waiting for a year or so, the treasure note that the court had promised to be worth one guan was not worth one guan at all!

Only nine hundred and ninety coins are left!
Under such circumstances, the common people would have to lose at least food money every year if they did nothing with a ten-yuan note.

Isn't this an act of cruelty to the people?

Is it easy for ordinary people to make money?

Your Majesty, your family also had difficulties in the past, so you must understand it better than I do.

Those were all saved up one copper coin at a time.

Now, they have finally saved some money.

No one was willing to spend it, so they just left it there without using it. Ten cents of one string of banknotes would disappear in a year.

Your Majesty also said that you must ensure that the people can use the banknotes to buy things.

Yes, it is indeed available for purchase.

But why did the court not want treasure notes when it came time to collect taxes?
Your Majesty is only allowed to use treasure notes to purchase things from the people, but the people are not allowed to use treasure notes to pay taxes.

What is the reason for this?
Is this fair? Is this reasonable?
Isn't this blatant blackmail?
This is rogue!

oppressive rule!
As a result, many people had to find ways to get copper coins to pay taxes to the court.

I don’t know how much trouble we went through and how much money and grain we spent on this!”

Mei Yin is here, directly criticizing Zhu Yuanzhang!
Moreover, during this process, he would use whatever words that could arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions.

The more intense the words, the better.

After all, in his opinion, this might be his next chance to get Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him.

If he misses this opportunity, the possibility of encountering such an exciting scene in the future and letting Zhu Yuanzhang send him away successfully through the mission of dying for advice will be even smaller.

So at this time, how can we care about so many things?

That's how to make people angry, that's how to do it!
Although he was trying to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang, what he said was actually true.

Zhu Yuanzhang indeed acted very contradictory when it came to the Baochao issue.

On the one hand, the imperial court continuously issued treasure notes, which were used to exchange a large number of things from the people.

It was also stipulated that the people could use treasure notes.

On the other hand, they insisted on waiting until the time to pay taxes and did not accept treasure notes.

This is a really inhumane thing to do.

Doesn't this mean that the value of Baochao is denied at the national level?
Under such circumstances, how can the people use treasure notes with peace of mind?
How could the value of the treasure notes not drop?
You, the government, don't even trust the things that you proactively push forward.

How can we gain the trust of the people below?
This practice is really excessive.

Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved violently and his mood was simply indescribable!

damn thing!
That bastard Mei Yin is here again!
This bastard is really too much!

But while his mood was fluctuating, he had no way to refute what Mei Yin said for a moment.

Because what Mei Yin said is true.

When issuing the treasure notes, he made regulations that no place could refuse to accept the treasure notes.

But this order is mainly aimed at those below.

However, it does not have much effect on government agencies.

Before, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

But at this moment, Mei Yin said this in public, which made him a little unbearable.

Especially the words used by Mei Yin.

Why is it that the officials are allowed to set fires but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?

What the hell is this?

This bastard deserves to die!
"You're talking nonsense! One tael of banknotes is one tael of banknotes.

Where does it become worthless?
It’s clearly written there!”

After Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, he finally uttered these words.

"Is it still one kuai?"

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked back, with an expression similar to sarcasm on his face.

Continue to irritate Zhu Yuanzhang's nerves.

"Your Majesty can go and ask privately to see how much one kuai is worth now.

Now, one guan of banknotes can only be used as 990 wen to purchase things.

And this was just the beginning of the introduction of Baochao. It had not even been a year, but it had already begun to become worthless.

If we wait a little longer, in a few years, you can imagine how worthless the treasure notes will be!"

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, confronting him head-on and refusing to give in.

He has always been paying attention to the matter of Baochao.

Moreover, he does a lot of business here, and a lot of money flows in and out every day.

Although he hired a formal accountant, it was impossible for Mei Yin to not ask about everything.

The accounts will be reviewed every now and then.

Nowadays, although he doesn't care much about money, he earns a lot of money every day.

But that doesn't mean he wants to be fooled.

Therefore, he knew very well about the depreciation of the treasure note.

"Who told you that there are only 990 coins left in one guan?

It clearly says on it that it is one yuan note!

Whoever dares not to admit it will be beheaded!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mei Yin with a cold gaze, which was indescribably domineering and fierce.

This matter really irritated his nerves.

Baochao was his masterpiece. Since the issuance of Baochao, the Ming Dynasty’s shortage of money was solved at once.

Circulation of all industries.

Also because of what Mei Yin had said to him before.

So he paid more attention to this matter.

When I heard Mei Yin say that one string of banknotes was only worth nine hundred and ninety coins, I felt so shocked.

Mei Yin looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes:

"Father-in-law, don't lose your temper here, it's useless.

Even if you kill all the people in the world, if you don't change your many practices, the banknotes will still depreciate!
Many things cannot be carried out simply by being unreasonable.

It can be solved simply by killing people.

If this matter was really so easy to solve, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Some things are laws that cannot be reversed by force.

Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing stagnated, and his eyes were filled with more murderous intent.

Mei Yin, this bastard, what he said was so infuriating!
Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed a little confused.

Is it true that one string of treasure notes from the Ming Dynasty is only worth nine hundred and ninety coins?
Although he was full of disbelief, he knew that Mei Yin always spoke reasonably and would not make unreasonable demands.

Since he said so, it must be true.

In other words, did the Ming Dynasty's treasure notes really begin to become worthless in such a short period of time?
It was exactly the same as what Mei Yin had said before.

This...how the hell could this be?

Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't understand it.

Especially for what Mei Yin said, even if everyone in the world was killed, the treasure banknotes would still become worthless, which made it even more uncomfortable.

When he heard this, he naturally didn't believe it.

I just felt that Mei Yin was talking nonsense.

But then think about your current iron-blooded killing methods and the clear regulations on treasure notes.

Under such circumstances, in just less than a year, the value of one guanchao had been reduced by ten cents.

He was really confused about this matter...

why?
what is this?
How come such good banknotes have become like this?

Hearing what Mei Yin said, everyone around was more frightened than the other.

Each one was more stunned than the other.

Everyone's gaze towards Mei Yin changed.

I just felt like I was going crazy.

When I looked at Mei Yin, I felt like I was looking at a complete lunatic.

Does he know what he's talking about?

Do you know who he is talking to?
How dare you do this?
Are you really looking for death?

This is the emperor!

How dare he say these words to the emperor?
What did you think?

How dare he!

For most of the people present, it was the first time they saw Mei Yin making a death-defying remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were so excited.

Mei Yin immediately opened his eyes.

For the first time, I discovered that there are such tough people in the Ming Dynasty!
Even a bold man like Hu Weiyong couldn't help but look at Mei Yin with admiration!

Before, he had heard people talk about Mei Yin's death-defying remonstrance against Zhu Yuanzhang at the Lantern Festival dinner.

I just felt that Mei Yin was being instructed by someone.

It was just a symbolic protest.

But now, his thoughts changed all of a sudden!

How could Mei Yin's act be just a symbolic one?
He really wanted to die!

Mei Yin paid attention to the changes in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and found that although Zhu's eyes were red and his chest was heaving violently due to the words he said.

He looked like he was losing control and about to lose his temper.

But after all, it's still a little short of the mark.

So he hesitated for a moment and then spoke again.

Decided to add fuel to the fire for this father-in-law.

So that I can die as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty thinks you have done a great job with the treasure notes.

Little did they know that this was a decision that couldn't be more stupid!

In a short period of time, the imperial court could indeed benefit greatly from the treasure notes.

But in the long run, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst!

Using waste paper that is becoming less and less valuable is constantly harming all the people across the country!
Their hard work is becoming less and less valuable.

It is much more expensive and higher than any other tax!

Your Majesty thinks of himself as wise and powerful, but he does not know how much criticism he will receive for this.

How many people will hate you to the core!

This is an indispensable part of history books!
The people will also hate you because of what you did.

Treat you as a tyrant like Jie and Zhou!"

After Mei Yin said this, everyone around him changed color!

This Mei Yin really dares to say anything!

I’ve seen people who risk their lives, but I’ve never seen people who risk their lives like this!

Even the tyrants Jie and Zhou dared to speak out!

Is he really making a death appeal?
This is just looking for death!

Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved more and more, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy.

You can tell at first glance that she is extremely popular!

The next moment, he drew out the emperor's sword from his waist with a clang.

He strode towards Mei Yin!

Mei Yin must be beheaded!
