Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 97 What he means is what we mean!
  All old?

Nothing fake!

At this moment, Su Xian's words seemed to remind Zhu Yuanzhang.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

At the same time, the ministers also reacted.

Li Wentai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked at Su Xian almost instantly. His eyes were full of surprise. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, this boy could make up a reason casually.

The key question is...this reason really works!

The ministers came to the head, and Wang Guangyang was supported by Zhu Yuanzhang as the right prime minister who was ready to check and balance Hu Weiyong.

But he did not confront Hu Weiyong head-on, but kept choosing to retreat, so that now he seems to have lost his presence in the current government.

Normally, he presented himself as a sleepyhead and a drunkard, but now he couldn't help but cheer up and looked at Su Xian, seeming to be surprised by his quick wit.

"Sure enough!"

At this time, Hu Weiyong also sighed, "This child is so young, just two sentences can change the situation. When I think that the Holy One has already allowed him to enter the main hall, accompanying the emperor's eldest grandson, it seems that the Holy One has a good eye for seeing people. It’s still the same as before.”

"Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Wang Guangyang didn't seem to know what Hu Weiyong was saying, so he nodded and said, "You are really smart. It seems that talented people will come out of the country, twenty years from now! No... ten years from now, this guy will definitely shine."

"Really?" Hu Weiyong nodded, then thought of something and said: "There are more and more talents in the imperial court, which is of course a great thing."

"However, I'm afraid this can only be a temporary solution, and it won't last forever."

Wang Guangyang also nodded, seeming to have dozed off again, "That's right, you still have to worry about it."

Hu Weiyong smiled and said nothing, but when he looked at Wang Guangyang, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

The other party followed His Majesty earlier than he did.

Even the abilities and means are not lacking.

As soon as His Majesty conquered Jiangxi, the other party took part in the politics of Jiangxi and managed the place in an orderly manner, with salt diversion, river dredging, and grain and grass reserves. There was never any trouble, but in a short period of time, he achieved outstanding political achievements.

Later, he participated in politics in Shandong and appeased those who surrendered. He was equally capable.

Later, Shaanxi participated in politics!

It is said that conquering the world is not difficult, but governing the world is difficult.

Every time Zhu Yuanzhang conquered a kingdom, Wang Guangyang's ability to govern the people was so good that he would be the first to pacify any place that was difficult to manage.

Appease the people and recruit the rebels.

Speaking of this person's ability alone, Zhu Yuanzhang even compared him with "Zhang Liang". Therefore, after Li Shanchang reported illness for the first time, what he immediately thought about was that Wang Guangyang and Yang Xian would be jointly responsible for the affairs of the Zhongshu Province.

However, as soon as he arrived at Zhongshu Province, he seemed to be a different person. After being challenged by Yang Xian for a while, he was defeated and left...

Ups and downs, in this Zhongshu Province, he was already the prime minister for the third time. If he said that the Holy Emperor did not value him, it would of course be false, and the result was that the other party was still the same.

Today, in Zhongshu Province, he alone has the final say, and the other party is just an old man obsessed with sensuality, so there is nothing to worry about.

But during this time, he felt that there was always a flea jumping around, which made him upset.

After the empty seal case, he became curious about the boy, and considering the location of the treasure bank, he originally thought that if the other party knew the current affairs and he extended an olive branch slightly, it would fall into his hands.

As a result, Zhang Guance, who had been following him for several years, was beheaded.

Careless and lose Jingzhou!
  Seeing that boy playing some crazy game in the palace.

There is also his father, who is gradually getting out of control while occupying the treasure bank, and he always feels bored.

How much prestige did a right prime minister who was older than himself have when he was governing the world? As a result, he was kept submissive by himself every time he entered Zhongshu Province three times, and he became a good-for-nothing old man who only knew about sex.

On the contrary, this little flea has exceeded his expectations time and time again?

Just look at His Majesty's current attitude and you will know everything!
  "Hahaha, yes, yes! This guy reminded us that the fake ones are all old!"

He looked at the Spanish envoy.

His tone was firm and unquestionable, "What you see this time are just the examples we gave you. These are all old and will fade out of sight as soon as New Year's Eve passes!"

"At that time, my Ming Dynasty will have new treasure banknotes."

While speaking, he couldn't help but look at Su Xian, secretly thinking that this guy was really quick-witted.

Otherwise, this time, I had such high hopes, but the counterfeit banknotes were completely ruined before the decree was issued.

Make him feel angry!

But this time, Hu Weiyong also smiled when he saw His Majesty's satisfied smile, but just as he said to Wang Guangyang just now.

The phrase "all old, nothing fake" can certainly help today's counterfeit banknotes pass smoothly, but it only solves a temporary problem.

The real problem is simply not solved.

really.

In this world, no one is a fool.

If the ministries don’t want it, even if you force it on them, they won’t want it!
  Below, Tugu'er and others looked at each other, obviously unable to believe that this matter suddenly changed because of a boy's words.

It seems that he is worried that the Holy Emperor will reward him with new treasures.

They quickly questioned: "Your Majesty, even if they are all old, the fundamental problem has not been solved. Just like the fake silver and fake copper coins we just took out, there are bound to be fake ones. Unless we don't believe it, But we, the herdsmen of Xifan, don’t believe it.”

"The sunshine in the sky gives us warmth, and the grass and trees on the ground are food for cattle and sheep. Everything is visible to the naked eye and is given by God. We exchange cattle and sheep for tea and salt... This is an exchange of things from heaven and earth."

"But even if the treasure banknote appears in a new form, it will end up being the same as the one we got. It will become rough, some people will fake it, and the gifts of heaven and earth will be wasted in vain. This is disrespectful to God!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

Of course he knew that what these people said was true.

Su Xian's words were just a easing measure. As long as there was no fundamental change in the treasure money, the final result would be the same as now.

"Although the treasure is not a gift from God, it is a gift from Ming Dynasty to you!"

But just when Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling worried, he heard the slightly childish voice from before sounded again.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw Su Xian facing the group of envoys, saying seriously:
  "My Ming Dynasty cares about the people from all over the world. In the land of Tubo, although there are herdsmen, they are also people. Although tea, salt, and silk are products of heaven and earth, they are also the fruits of our hard work day and night, and you herdsmen drive cattle and sheep to graze. It’s not fundamentally different.”

"Rather than exchanging the things of heaven and earth, it is better to say that it is exchanging the gains of hard work!"

Just one sentence.

The entire Wuying Hall officials were stunned again... This guy really has a sharp tongue.

Directly exchange what they call the things of heaven and earth for the hard-earned money?
  Tugu'er also paused and looked at him in astonishment... It seemed that he didn't expect that Daming would let this child appear to persuade them.

The longer he stayed in the Ming court during this period, the more he understood how much the Ming court valued education. If these children were in Tubo, now would be the time to follow the cattle and sheep.

But here, the best age is used to learn "principles" that they think are useless.

The craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is indeed eye-catching, but this obsession with the so-called sages' remarks will sooner or later become the same as the Song Dynasty before it.

This is their recognition!
  Therefore, as long as the Ming court does not control them deeply, they are willing to live in peace with Ming for the time being, waiting for Ming to weaken like the previous Central Plains dynasties.

So, no matter what, the superficial tribute can be carried out, but the treasure money... In their eyes, this is the Ming Dynasty holding the light paper in exchange for their precious cattle, sheep, and even herding horses...

New and old, good and bad, all the same.

They never agree!

"This young Marquis..." In the main hall, he only knew that there were princes, dukes, and uncle Hou's heirs.

So I subconsciously called him Little Marquis casually.

"Since you know this, you should know that exchanging the fruits of our herdsmen's hard work day and night with a piece of light paper that seems to be able to be destroyed and torn at any time is an unfair exchange in itself!"

This young marquis has quick wits, he can see it.

But at the same time, he knew very well how to deal with children of this age. More importantly, in the process of clarifying the truth with the other party, the ministers and the emperor of Ming Dynasty would also further know their opinions.

This is safer than them explicitly rejecting the Ming Emperor.

For children of this age, "the true nature of the world" is their most intuitive feeling.

Good is good and bad is bad.

He believed that as long as he followed the Ming Dynasty's "knowing with reason and moving with emotion", he would defeat the young prince.

When the time comes, he will also let the emperor of Ming Dynasty know his side's persistence!

"If it were you, I would trade paper with you for your favorite food, would you trade it?"

"why not?"

Su Xian didn't know what they were thinking. He seemed to have really fallen into the other party's "reasonable temptation".

"You're lying!" Tu Guer suddenly frowned. At such a young age, has he lost his most precious authenticity? Su Xian shook his head and said, "Why should I lie? If buying a chicken costs one hundred cents, I will buy it. As long as you are willing to pay one hundred and ten cents, I can sell it to you."

"I can sell you as much as you want."

"As long as I sell ten chickens, I can use the money to buy one more chicken. If I sell one hundred chickens, I can buy ten more chickens. Of course, I can also buy other things, just like silver, this is the most Don’t you all understand the simple truth?”

Tugur looked angrily, this is sophistry!
  But just when he was about to question, he saw that Su Xian had spoken again, "What's more, our Ming Dynasty is not going to exchange light paper for your cattle and sheep as you think... This is unfair!"

Good boy!
  Tugu'er's attitude changed drastically, you actually knew it! .

This sentence is exactly what they want to say to His Majesty the Emperor.

He even wanted to shout: Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty, come and see, even such a young child knows that you have a crooked idea!
  But the next moment.

"However, we have never thought about this unfairness. On the contrary, our precious money is here to help you."

Su Xian said: "Think about it, in the cold winter, some herdsmen may freeze to death because of a cold wind, or lose all their food because of an illness. Although heaven and earth have given you There are many gifts, but you can also take them all back with a single thought.”

Tugur was silent.

Even the many envoys from Xifan who were full of hostility behind him were silent.

Because Su Xian told the truth.

"But these have nothing to do with treasure money..." Tugu'er couldn't help but speak again after being silent for a moment.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Su Xian struck while the iron was hot.

"As I said just now, we are not an exchange for things from heaven and earth, but an exchange for the hard work of the people!"

"The treasure banknote is not to deprive the big ones by bullying the small ones, but to help you."

With that said, Su Xian gave another example.

"If...it's still the same situation as above."

"If the weather gets colder, you can exchange these cattle and sheep into treasure notes as early as possible. There is no need to exchange them for salt, food, and tea immediately. Because some of them will not be used for the time being, and some may go bad. Some are even worse. It’s not easy to carry, and a strong wind might destroy everything.”

"But as long as you still have the treasure, you can go to my market in the Ming Dynasty and buy whatever you need at any time. If you don't need it now, you can save it for next year and buy the freshest stuff!"

Su Xian talked about the most basic buying and selling transactions.

At the same time, he also said his final words.

"We have an old saying that people can conquer nature! There is also a sincere saying that tells you to help me and I will help you."

"If all the cattle and sheep are lost due to bad weather, then the Tibetan herdsmen can also come to the market and temporarily borrow our Ming Dynasty's treasure notes!"

"At that time, you can use these treasure notes to continue to buy everything you need at the market to tide over this difficult time."

now.

After Su Xian finished saying this, the defensiveness in the eyes of Tugu'er and others no longer appeared.

Su Xian's voice continued, "Relying on the weather alone is definitely risky, but if you try to get help from others, the disaster will only be temporary after all!"

Tugu'er suddenly interrupted, "Did you just say that the Ming Dynasty would help our herdsmen?"

Su Xian said: "Of course, if it's really difficult, we can even help you for free and lend you treasure money. But again, if you borrow, you must return it!"

"Our goal is, after all, to make everyone better."

Tugu'er was obviously moved.

However, what moved him was not the "herdsmen" Su Xian mentioned!
  But...

"What if a tribe?"

Hearing this question, Su Xian suddenly laughed.

He knew that, after all, he was an envoy. How could he shed tears of gratitude just because he said he was doing good to ordinary herdsmen!

What these people really want is, after all, the improvement of their overall tribal strength.

And this... was exactly the result Su Xian wanted.

A group cannot be defeated.

These people instinctively reject the Ming Dynasty and prefer to follow Tugu'er's lead for the time being.

but……

Since they are envoys of various ministries, there is no way they can be one from beginning to end.

Su Xian showed a kind smile.

“One herdsman is a herdsman, and a hundred herdsmen are also herdsmen!”

“Are 10,000 herdsmen not herdsmen?”

"My Ming Dynasty will treat you the same as I treat my own people. If the ministries encounter difficulties, I, my Ming Dynasty, will do my best to help friendly friends."

"The same is true for treasure notes. A herdsman borrows it, and a hundred or ten thousand is also a loan."

Su Xian said with great emotion: "I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, care about all directions. I will never see the situation where various ministries are in trouble without helping."

"What's more, you have already belonged to the Ming Dynasty. The herdsmen of various tribes are also my herdsmen of the Ming Dynasty."

"Suffering brings great enlightenment, and all tribes are happy!"

What Su Xian said was sincere.

However, this tone made the entire court officials and even Zhu Yuanzhang stunned!

Are we really so kind? Isn’t that a living Bodhisattva?

"Nonsense!"

At the same time, some people secretly scolded: "Firstly, this son is not an official of Honglu Temple, not a sect of the Holy Emperor. Thirdly, he has no official status. Fourthly, he is not a prince. How can he replace my Ming Dynasty? If this continues, won't it be a loss for oneself?" he?"

But Su Xian didn't seem to know what they were thinking.

Just still looking at Tuguer.

"Does the little Marquis mean what he said?" Tugu'er's eyes were wary.

But it also looked immediately.

The other tribes also looked at him one after another, with emotions in their eyes.

Seeing this, Su Xian shook his head slightly and smiled, "You must be right to ask. I am not a young prince, so of course I can only speak for myself!"

"You!" Tugu'er was furious, and all the ministers were also angry. They just felt like they were being played by a little doll.

And what Su Xian wants is to be emotionally moved!
  As long as you are in the mood, it shows that you are serious.

"But I can be sure that even if I, the Ming Dynasty, want to help the various tribes, my ability is limited. In the short term, I can only help..."

As he said that, Su Xian did not shy away from everyone and counted on his fingers, "One, two, three, four..."

"five!"

"Yes, that's five, up to five tribes."

"If these tribes accept the treasure banknotes, if there are any natural or man-made disasters in the future, I, the Ming Dynasty, will certainly not give up on their own people and will definitely help those who need help. The treasure banknotes are also lent free of charge. As long as they recover in the coming year, they can pay them back. "

"After all, you help me and I help you...we all need to help each other!"

As soon as these words came out.

"This boy!"

Li Wentai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was hesitant and shocked at first, secretly thinking that this guy didn't understand current affairs, but now, he was stunned.

How could this kid use this ability of splitting and striking so skillfully?

Just say how much Sun Tzu's Art of War did he use in just a short period of time?

Hu Weiyong also looked greatly moved, and Wang Guangyang opened his eyes again, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

And Zhu Yuanzhang almost laughed!

Good boy! You still know how to play like this!

Why didn’t we think of that!
  At this time, Tugu'er also reacted. He looked around first, and when he found that the other envoys looked moved, he secretly thought something was wrong.

He hurriedly shouted: "The little kid is talking nonsense, it doesn't count, and it's making fun of us!"

"Who said it doesn't count?"

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted quickly.

He laughed and said, "What he means is what we mean!"
