I am the king of the dead

Yu Qian can understand, and so can Shi Pu, Jin Lian, and Wang Zhi.

It is easy to understand Yanyin as the gold-dollar coupons of the Republic of China. After the war was defeated and inflation started, the gold-yuan coupons immediately depreciated, just like Yanyin’s plunge in September 14.

Zhu Qiyu took a blank piece of paper, drew three circles, picked it up and said, "Minggongs, please take a look, this is Yanyin. The value of Yanyin is divided into two parts, one is the use value and the other is the exchange value."

"The sum of use value and exchange value is the value of Shiobiki, which is the value of currency."

"Use value is the salt that can be accepted, and exchange value is the role of a medium of exchange in trade."

"The defeat of the country and the turmoil in the hearts of the people will cause the exchange value to plummet, far exceeding the growth of the use value, so it will plummet."

"The country was defeated, people's hearts were stabilized, and production resumed. Although the use value fell slightly, the exchange value recovered, so the quoted price recovered."

Only then did Chen Xun suddenly understand and said, "I understand."

He looked at the picture and immediately understood, so it is!

Yanyin not only represents salt, but also money issued by Daming, which is similar to Daming banknotes.

If Guochao was defeated, the thin paper of Yanyin would be useless, but if Guochao won, Yanyin would still be Yanyin, and everyone would go on as usual.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu breathe a sigh of relief. What he said was not complicated. It was actually the function of the simplest and most basic currency.

Chen Xun was very successful in politics, especially in the aspects of the emperor's affairs and documents, but in the field of economics, his eyes were smeared.

Yu Qian looked at the emperor instead, his eyes flickering.

Logically speaking, when His Majesty was the King of Yi, he would not have learned these things. How did His Majesty understand the role of Yanyin in circulation so thoroughly and clearly?What was the value of this currency during the turmoil last September?

At this time, Yu Qian was even more convinced that there was an expert behind His Majesty! 99 feet tall!

As for whether His Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, Yu Qian does not believe it. He believes that it is an expert behind His Majesty, similar to Yao Guangxiao and Emperor Taizong Wen.

But Yu Qian pondered over and over again, but he didn't figure out who the master was.

Jin Lian carefully wrote down the notes, His Majesty's part about exchange value and use value is enough for him to understand.

After thinking about it, Jin Lian still thinks that silver is the most suitable currency for Ming Dynasty. Why can silver be used as currency?

Because silver has no use value, but it has a very high transaction value.

Gold is also available, but gold is too little, and silver is more reliable.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the stool and watched Jin Lian's reaction, and felt that it was necessary to write a Ming version of "The Wealth of Nations".

Daming's financial affairs are simply a mess!

Wealth is power.

Without a healthy and stable financial system, how could the Ming Dynasty have traveled thousands of miles and swaggered across the region?

Compared with "The Wealth of Nations", Zhu Qiyu actually likes "Das Kapital" better, but writing "Das Kapital" in Daming is really too over the top...

Jin Lian has already sat down, and he is still thinking about where to get money. He heard that there are many Japanese countries, can he use large-scale business to obtain a large amount of stable currency?

Yanyin is really too unstable, and he is concerned about the people's daily life of Ming Dynasty. If this thing is used as currency, it will really affect the whole body.

Gold and silver are stable, but Daming produces more than [-] taels of silver a year, which is simply a drop in the bucket.

According to Jin Lian's calculations in the accounts at the Ministry of Accounts, Daming needs at least 500 million taels of silver inflows a year to allow silver to fully serve as currency.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "I have said before that I plan to let the eunuch who settles accounts and the head of the Du branch of the household department set up a planning province, temporarily hang it under the name of Shijing factory, and calculate the annual production of Shijing factory, and occasionally do it for me. Do the math."

Emperor Jiajing, also known as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, had complete control over the money bag, so he would not go to court for 20 years and ignored matters, but he could still arbitrarily judge the court.

Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to do Jin Lian's work, Jin Lian did a good job, but Daming's economic account can't continue to be so confused.

"If you have any objections, you can raise them now, or write a memorial and submit them to Wenyuan Pavilion. As long as it makes sense in the four major directions of phenomenon, problem, reason, and plan, I will take it seriously." Zhu Qiyu never allowed it The courtiers participated in the discussion of state affairs, but Zhu Qiyu opposed the general talk and the nonsense of nonsense.

Participating in and discussing state affairs is what courtiers do!

Didn't the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination select them from the vast crowd for the purpose of allowing them to participate in politics?

But some people lost even three parts of their human appearance in front of the officials, leaving only seven parts of their animal appearance, if it was the beast on the patch on their chest.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Yan government is a serious matter, and it is necessary to send more capable officials to visit the salt in the two Zhejiang provinces to find out the matter and make a decision. There is no investigation, but empty talk." Wang Zhi said every day in Fengtian Hall Dozed off, but not today, he has been listening attentively and actively offering his words.

Judging by inspection, translation means that without investigation, there is no right to speak.

After many investigations, combined with the memorabilia of the inspectors of the prefectures and counties, and the ministers of His Majesty's eyes and ears, they went to the local inspections, and then made a decision.

"Is there anyone to choose?" Zhu Qiyu nodded and asked.

As Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhi was responsible for recommending talents. He bowed his head and said: "Li Xian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is quite talented. I think I can go to Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Fujian, Guangzhou and other places for inspection. Play in the morning."

"Is that Li Xian who escaped by chance during the Civil War?" Zhu Qiyu remembered this person. Before that, Yu Qian defeated the Wala Pioneer Army outside Zhangyi Gate and captured many people, including Li Xian who escaped by chance.

Zhu Qiyu still had a little impression of this person, he nodded and said, "That's him."

At least Li Xian was loyal to Daming, even though the emperor Zhu Qizhen had surrendered, his courtier ran back instead.

Although Li Xian was nothing in Daming, such a person, in Wala, would not be able to find a talent for helping the country and governing the world even with a lantern.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng under Huang Taiji failed even a Jinshi examination in Daming.

"Your Majesty, I think that a regulation should be drawn up. What is the situation of the salt law and how to improve it? Only through regular discussions can it be promoted. Instead of thinking about it, just discuss it, and if you don't think about it, just throw it away like a shoestring." Hu Yi bowed his head to offer advice again, and dozed off all day in the court hall.

If His Majesty kills someone, Hu Wei and Wang Zhi will go to sleep. They are both master-like figures, masters of pretending to be confused!

It's not that Hu Wei is old and useless, he just pursues self-protection.

He has been in office for more than forty years from Yongle to the present, and he has already seen through the Ming Dynasty. If he thinks about it today, if he changes it, he will forget it tomorrow!

Is the Daming Salt Law discussed for the first time today?

But every time it is always discussed and discussed, and it ends without a problem.

But His Majesty is obviously not such a person.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Then once a month."

Chapter 177 Get on the boat first and then make up for the fare

The first salt and iron meeting in Juxian Pavilion is still going on, and the six ministers are actively offering suggestions. As the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Yu Shiyue also realizes the importance of salt introduction.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the local judiciary should issue an order. The salt law is corrupt. Private salt fields have repeatedly issued private salt quotations, which has corrupted the court's discipline. I think we should send Tiqi to Jiangnan to rectify it. Disasters and chaos should also be dealt with immediately."

"The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishments, the Ministry of Officials, Dali Temple, and Jinyiwei will punish thousands of households. The four departments will join forces to carry out a joint attack. The incident involving salt and the country, please play."

Yu Shiyue really has no good way to deal with private salt farms. The number of official salt farms in Ming Dynasty is limited, and the most important thing is that there are tens of thousands of people in Daming who rely on the salt farms for their lives.

Frying salt is bitter and tiring, and it is also a job. Although the profit is not much, it can barely make ends meet.

However, the private salt farms are distributing private salt and salt quotations indiscriminately, and circulating them wantonly in the market, which is digging at the foundation of the imperial court!This is something that should never be allowed to happen.

"Wang Shangshu, Jin Shangshu, do you have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu asked the two Shangshus.

Wang Zhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty wants to implement the Farm Law, and it is imperative to rectify the administration of officials. I have no objection."

Xia Heng, Minister of Dali Temple, as the review institution of the Supreme Court of the Ming Dynasty, he thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the flood of private salt should be cracked down. "

"However, privately printing salt and salt is caused by insufficient official salt and salt, and it is different from privately printing Daming banknotes. The sentencing is based on the lack of family property."

"I think it is feasible, and the province can calculate the number of private quotations, and calculate how many salt quotations should be issued each year, which is enough and enough for the market."

"After the ministerial discussion, I will give His Majesty an answer."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "How long?"

"Before sunset." Xia Heng replied immediately.

"The next court meeting, the three ministries will discuss together to finalize the regulations." Zhu Qiyu gave a little more time, and the joint action of the three ministries naturally cannot be discussed only by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Shiyue, Jin Lian and Wang Zhi bowed their heads and said.

Yu Qian said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that should be prohibited."

"Princes, county kings, honored ministers, foreign relatives, etc., often ask for rewards and direct salt quotations. I think it should be strictly prohibited at this time."

"Yanyin involves the important task of food and grass in the frontier. Once there is trouble in the frontier and Yanyin is so corrupt, how will the food and grass in the border be solved?"

"The minister thought that the practice of asking the kings and relatives to ask for salt should be abolished, so that the Ming Dynasty can enjoy long-term peace and stability."

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table, thought for a long time and said to Xing'an: "This practice must be abandoned."

The Yanyin given to the kings and relatives is directly over-issued, even beyond the frontier. Yanyin involves money and food, which is the most important thing in the community. Is it a child's play to send it privately?

Rewards can be given to gold, silver, and jade, but salt and food are involved. This is the lifeblood of the court, so it is better not to give it.

"Your Majesty is holy!" The officials hurriedly bowed their heads and said.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and shook their heads. Today, they finally understood how fragile Daming's salt administration is, and there are still many things worth digesting.

"Okay, let's rest today, Xing'an, let the staff of Zhongshushe organize this discussion on salt and iron into a book, once a month, and finally make a book, so that it can be used as a reference for future generations before making decisions."

"As for whether to watch it or not, I don't care." Zhu Qiyu saw that no one had any suggestions, so he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and organized it into graphic materials. As for whether his children and grandchildren can see it or not, that is beyond Zhu Qiyu's control.

Yu Qian didn't leave, if Yu Qian stopped implementing the Farm Law in Gyeonggi, Zhu Qiyu would have to ask politics every day.

"Yu Shaobao, let's talk about a game?" Zhu Qiyu's hands were a little itchy for a while, and playing chess boards was also Zhu Qiyu's rare pastime in Daming.

"Li Yongchang, is Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng in the martial arts hall?" Zhu Qiyu asked Li Yongchang. Before that, Zhu Qiyu appointed Li Yongchang as the admiral of the martial arts hall and was in charge of the martial arts hall.

Li Yongchang bowed his head and said, "Zongbing Shi is still in class."

"Where's Yang Jun?"

"Vice Chief Yang is also in class." Li Yongchang bowed his head and said, this is all teaching. In addition to admiral Jingying, he is also responsible for class matters every day. He is very busy!

"Where's Marquis Changping?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Li Yongchang bowed his head and said: "There is no class, but in the auditorium, some students' homework needs to be watched by Marquis Changping."

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "I'm busy, I'm all busy, I don't even have the time to play chess with me."

"Be busy." Yu Qian was also helpless, isn't His Majesty also busy all day?

This is to be free, and others have no time to spare.

Zhu Qiyu said: "Xing'an, give me a banquet tonight, so that Marquis Changping, Marquis Wuqing, Vice Commander Yang and Commander Sun will all stay here."

Zhu Qiyu is holding a new pawn pushing chessboard in his hand. This chessboard is very large and has five copies.

Daming and Oala, but this time it is not the battle of the capital, not the battle of the Xuanfu, but the three armies coming out together, against Oara, sweeping the court and plowing holes.

But to play at least six people, a group of the three-way army, a group of Wala, Tatar, and Wuliangha, and a referee.

Zhu Qiyu, the chessboard where the two play chess, has officially become a team battle mode of a big board game.

This is what he has always hoped for, a large-scale army battle in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di made five Northern Expeditions. As soon as the capital camp came out, there were no horses roaring for thousands of miles, and Zhu Di jumped his feet in anger.

This time, Zhu Qiyu planned to prepare three years of armaments, food, grass, and intelligence, and completely sweep the Tingli caves against the Wala people, sweeping away the shame of Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu started playing chess, but this time the battlefield map was chosen for the battle of the capital, which can be played by two people.

Daming held by Zhu Qiyu.

"It's raining..." Xing'an was quite helpless.

"It's windy..." Xing'an said immediately again.

Xing'an looked at it for a long time, scratched his head and said, "Heavy rain!"

Zhu Qiyu's abandoned son conceded defeat. With Xing'an as a black whistle, he still can't be too modest.

The strength on paper, the battle of the capital, is really difficult to fight, but sometimes the battlefield is not only based on paper strength.

Even if he took the hacker Xing'an that called the wind and rain, and confronted Yu Qian several times, it was of no avail.

To lose or to lose.

"I went to Shijing Factory the day before yesterday and inspected it. Yu Shaobao said that those scoundrels in the farm were sent to the Beijing camp. After a few days of practice, they became a bit human. They are very good." Zhu Qiyu talked about the inspection. Shijingchang, he no longer lowered the flag, and Xing'an packed up all the chessboards.

Yu Qian nodded and said: "The minister of Shijing Factory has also visited twice, and they are all very good. The division of labor is clear and well organized. If this factory is completed, it can be extended in Daming according to the law."

"The matter of the Guanye Institute will be carefully studied and discussed after the Shijing Factory is completed."

Zhu Qiyu continued: "I blew up King Ji's mausoleum, it blocked the way of Coal Wells Division."

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I have heard about this matter, Your Majesty is a little too hasty. First, the yellow tiles were replaced with blue tiles, and then it was reduced to the prince's mausoleum, and then bombed and demolished. No one will say anything."

There has to be a process in doing things. Your Majesty, if you blow it up directly, it's not good. It's better to change the tiles, etc., and then blow up and then tear it down. The left and right are just a prince's tomb, so do things like this.It doesn't seem so impatient anymore.
