Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 37 Warning
  "study?"

"I'm not going!"

Xinghua Lane.

Since Su Guiyuan came back, the family of three had eaten quickly.

After all, Su Guiyuan was a scholar. He did not talk when eating or sleeping, and he followed the rules most vividly at the dinner table.

at last.

After the meal was finished, Su Guiyuan also told Su Xian his plans and what happened when he returned in the afternoon.

Who knew that when Su Xian heard this, he jumped up immediately.

"Absolutely not going. How old am I? Why should I study with them? It's the same at home. Besides, you have to be at least twelve years old to go to the Imperial College."

What Su Xian said was not a lie.

Although he traveled through time, it was just memory preservation. His current personality and childlike and playful nature are also in line with his age.

Whenever he thinks about waking up in the morning and shaking his head, he can't help but feel a chill...

That is resistance in the bones!

It's okay to let him learn calligraphy, but it's absolutely not okay to let him read while shaking his head and being slapped at every turn.

And there was such a thing in his memory, didn't the minimum age of 12 years old to go to Guozixue?
  But looking at his father's vow, he himself was a little unsure.

Su Guiyuan was as gentle as ever. He taught earnestly, just treating it as a child's playful nature.

"Xian'er, you don't understand. Although the emperor has temporarily abolished the imperial examination, he still attaches great importance to teaching. He attaches more importance to it than you think."

"Then why was it abolished?"

Uh……

Su Xian asked casually, which stopped Su Guiyuan.

"Maybe in the early years, the quality of the talents who passed the imperial examination was not good. I remember that the Holy Emperor was very angry because of this, and later the imperial examination was abolished."

"However, everyone in the court has seen it. The restoration of the imperial examination will be a matter of time. The current examination system is said to recommend talented people, but most of them come from the same family..."

Having said this, Su Guiyuan immediately fell silent, obviously keeping the matter secret.

Back to the point.

"In the beginning, the Holy Emperor did allow the sons of officials over the age of twelve to enter the Guozi School. However, at this age, their personalities have basically been determined. In addition, most of them are the sons of meritorious generals, so they will fight if they disagree. "

"So much so that all the students and doctors from the Imperial Academy jointly asked His Majesty to make the decision."

"After the Holy Spirit had a headache, he just waved his hand and told those who didn't want to enter the Imperial College to take them all back to their families. Later, he felt that the age limit of twelve was too high, so there was no age limit anymore."

"Although you are still young, you are very talented and should be able to get in."

"But even so, don't be arrogant and complacent just because you are young and smart. You must know that there are many outstanding people in this capital city. My father heard that there was a child prodigy of the Jie family who had a photographic memory and could recite words and poems every time he spoke... Don’t have too few such prodigies.”

talking.

Su Guiyuan fell into sighing again, "In Hongwu's only imperial examination, the second place winner was a famous young prodigy! Now he has a place in the court."

"My father's qualifications are dull and he is worthy of being a scholar. If it weren't for the current situation in the world, my father might not even be able to pass the inspection of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Therefore, my father was once very contented."

Su Xian hummed, "Well, I'm quite satisfied."

"That's it!"

Su Guiyuan waved his hand and laughed again: "In short, my son's name has now resounded throughout the capital. The Qilinzi spoken by the Holy One himself is the greatest praise in the world."

"My father has already prepared this for you, so you can go directly to class. Study peacefully for ten years. The Ming Dynasty will belong to you young people in the future."

As Su Guiyuan said, he even sat over and patted his son's shoulder thoughtfully.

"My job as a father is to ensure that my son grows up safely in these ten years!"

Su Xian did not agree, but rolled his eyes and mentioned another thing.

"Dad, you went to the Zhongshu Province. When you are promoted, you must not get too close to the prime minister unless you have to."

"Huh?" Su Guiyuan blinked, somewhat confused by Su Xian's warning.

"As long as you know it, I want to say that the emperor has long been jealous of the prime minister, and even thought..."

Su Xian was about to continue talking.

Unexpectedly, Su Guiyuan said directly: "Ha, you think too highly of your father and are too close? Do you have the qualifications to be a father? The whole government and the public want to step into the gate of Prime Minister Hu. Go outside Nanzhili."

"What's more, I'm just going to the Baochao Prosecution Office. Apart from the honor of meeting the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I won't have any interactions with him."

Su Guiyuan had obviously asked about it, "My father has made it clear that this treasure banknote collection department is only busy twice a year, and each time it prints five million yuan of treasure banknotes. Oh, you must also know that this always The money is about one tael of silver.”

"This is an important lineage of a country, so the Holy One attaches great importance to it. The rules are also very strict. Other than that, there is no other trouble. As long as you behave as a father and be cautious..."

As he said this, Su Guiyuan seemed to have thought of something, secretly thinking that his nature was really hard to change.

He immediately smiled and said: "Of course, my father will also try to change, strive to gain good experience, and be valued by Prime Minister Hu and even His Majesty, so that he can enter the Fengtian Palace as soon as possible and become one of the princes of the dynasty."

Su Xian nodded happily, "Well, Dad, you are right to work hard."

But at the same time, he was speechless.

No wonder the treasure banknote collapsed!
  It is issued twice a year, each time for 5 million taels, and the contract is 10 million taels of silver?
  And now the Ming Dynasty's annual silver tax revenue is only around six million taels.

Of course, silver tael does not equal all taxes.

In fact, the current Ming Dynasty still relies on "grain" and "goods" as the main source of tax revenue. Grain is hard currency. In addition, it is cloth, silk and linen, silk, silk cloth, etc... Silver is only incidental.

But nevertheless.

Collecting less and printing more will easily lead to a collapse.

In addition, the current banknote materials are prone to old paper, mildew, folk counterfeiting, etc...

of course.

These are all problems that can be solved with great efforts.

But in Su Xian's view, even if all these factors are added, it is still far from reaching... a collapse situation where the treasure banknotes will rapidly depreciate ten times in value more than ten years later!
  Even after the end of the Hongwu era, the depreciation of Baobao took a volcanic train, reaching one thousandth in the middle of the Ming Dynasty!

In the end, no one used it like toilet paper. As a result, after Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Method", treasure banknotes did not take over the mainstream, and the Ming court completely lost currency control.

Silver has become the main currency recognized by the people and the government has to recognize it!
  Finally, there is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He begged his grandfather and grandma everywhere to find money, but could not find it. The Ming Dynasty was over... This analysis...

With the current annual issuance of 10 million yuan, as long as the regulations are implemented, even if the currency depreciates a bit, the times are progressing, the population is growing, and the collapse will not be so severe in the future.

There must be something wrong in the middle!

Su Xian knew.

Rules are rules.

The emperor’s order is the emperor’s order!
  In the past few years since he came to Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu's imperial orders must have exceeded the regulations of the court.

In case he is really short of money, he has a treasure banknote in his hand...

hiss!
  I used to call her Xiao Tiantian, but if I really established it, wouldn’t she be Mrs. Niu?

Although it is stated on the surface that we can print as much as we want each year, my emperor is short of money. What's wrong with asking you to print more?
  Thinking of this, Su Xian couldn't help but think of a very cautious question.

Says:

Regarding the empty seal case, I asked Emperor Hongwu to accept a little loss.

The other party issued the order quickly, and even the empty seal case was over in a short time. Although many people were killed, it was actually contained and did not continue to expand.

Presumably, he recognized that "small change" would solve the problem of the aftermath of the empty bill.

but!

According to Emperor Hongwu's money-grabbing character, he was as rich as an iron rooster.

Could it be that he wanted to make up for the "loss" he had acknowledged in another way?
  No way?
  and many more!

At this time, Su Xian suddenly felt excited!
  Now it seems that my father has received the official seal, but this new entry has not appeared yet?
  Relating to his previous suspicion...the position is stable?
  Not showing up now...

That means it’s not stable yet!
  So my guess just now was correct?
  There must be something wrong here!

Thinking of this, Su Xian couldn't help but feel terrified.

"father."

He immediately looked at Su Guiyuan, as if he had caught something serious and warned:

"You go to the treasure bank collection department, what if someone asks you to print money?"

"Remember, you must follow the rules!"

"There is no seal from the emperor, no seal from Zhongshu Province, and no coordination from the Ministry of Revenue."

"In short, if one of the three parties is missing, if you are asked to print it, you must sternly refuse!"

Su Xian said this very seriously.

Su Guiyuan couldn't help but blink. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know why his son suddenly said these things.

In the end I could only nod.

"Don't worry. The only good thing about your father and me in the officialdom these years is that we behave well."

"Don't let anyone fool you!"

As my father said.

Although he has been promoted to the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Department of Treasure Note Collection is a new yamen, and he has never seen that Hu Prime Minister.

Probably impossible to talk to.

Moreover, the Hu Weiyong case is the fastest and will take three years.

but……

This duty is urgent.

Originally, Su Xian was worried about the future Hu Weiyong case, which would take at least three years to resolve.

He can think of more ways, at least this growth entry "Tongyan Wuji", and there may be new entries every year in the future, can solve these troubles.

but……

Never would I have imagined that danger is right in front of us!

Super currency!

Especially if you don't follow the court's procedures, if you believe in anyone casually, even the instructions of His Majesty.

That's the little tail!

We really have to be held accountable when the time comes...

hiss!
  No wonder Baochao Tiju Division, Zheng Tiju is only an eighth-grade position.

Isn’t it really toilet paper that can be thrown away easily and can be replaced if lost?

Seeing Su Xian looking so solemn.

Su Guiyuan couldn't help but nod again, "Don't worry, after this case, my father already knows the importance!"

"But you...you have to calm down and read a book recently."

"My father is in the officialdom to pave the way for you."

Seeing his father agree.

Su Xian couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought about going to school:

"Are you sure? I remember you said the same thing before, and you also said that you have someone at Guozixue...but it turns out he's still at home?"

"You are so sure now. If you really go to Guozixue then, someone else will kick me back..."

"Ha!" Su Guiyuan smiled awkwardly.

Immediately he waved his hands boldly, proudly and confidently.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and Su Guiyuan is more than happy now.

"These days are different."

"As a father, I don't even have to ask...they beg my son to go to Guozi to study!"
