I am the king of the dead

"As for your Majesty's national debt, I don't think it's a problem if I'm not proficient in financial affairs." Yu Qian was also uncertain about His Majesty's first strategy.

In Yu Qian's view, the national debt and the Baoyuan Bureau's reserves are only different in terms of interest, and there is no difference.

Is there a difference?

Chapter 674 In the sound of trumpets, the treasure ship launched

Yu Qian didn't quite understand the difference between savings and national debt, so Zhu Qiyu had to explain it briefly, and Yu Qian understood it immediately.

The Baoyuan Bureau under the jurisdiction of Yinzhuang in the Ming Dynasty, after depositors deposit in Baoyuan Bureau, the ownership of the currency still belongs to the depositor himself.

That is to say, the owner of the currency is still the depositor himself. Even if it is a time deposit or withdrawal in advance, the loss is only the interest and has nothing to do with the principal.

Any Baoyuan Bureau must be able to withdraw at any time below 50 silver coins, withdraw the next day for less than 50 silver coins, withdraw [-] to [-] silver coins in half a day, and withdraw more than [-] silver coins in a month.

There is a line of large characters posted on the wall of Baoyuan Bureau, which reads: Deposits are voluntary, withdrawals are free, deposits have interest, and depositors are confidential.

Isn't it a matter of course that depositors want to withdraw money?

The national debt is a creditor's right guaranteed by the country's financial reputation. After purchasing the national debt, the ownership of the currency belongs to Daming Yinzhuang, and the interest is accepted upon maturity.

Yu Qian understood the difference, and asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of a minister, the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where it needs to borrow money from the people."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and said, "Indeed not."

"Then why borrow money?" Yu Qian didn't understand.

Since Daming did not need to borrow money, why did it issue national debt?

Zhu Qiyu tapped the table lightly and said: "It's just a means. Daming's finances are normal now, but if Daming's money is empty, will the official roads continue to harden? Should the dredging of the waterways continue? Will Daming continue?" Do you want to rush to buy the official factory to replenish food money?"

Your Majesty, as always, is lenient in anticipating the enemy.

In case the finances are abnormal and there is a deficit, the court also has means.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "It turns out that this is the case, then the minister has no doubts."

Zhu Qiyu stopped tapping the table with his fingers and said: "Then let the Ministry of Finance, Baoyuan Bureau and Baochao Bureau work together to carry out the national debt issue."

It is true that the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to issue national debt, but the court also has urgent tasks.

If the Ming Dynasty went on an expedition to the Kingdom of Kang, the consumption would likely cause a short-term fiscal deficit. At this time, the issuance of national debt would allow the war to continue without delaying the pace of Daming's work-for-relief efforts.

It can be described as a typical example of eating more than enough.

The matter of national debt is not complicated, and Ji Sheng quickly figured out the calculations, including interest calculation, face value, distribution channels, etc., are all clear.

But Hubu still insisted on opposing opinions, while Qingliu believed that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was no longer an ordinary deviant.

For the first time, Tobe, the turbid stream full of copper smell, joined forces with Qingliu to oppose it.

Zhu Qiyu also specially wrote the title book back to Beijing, explaining the purpose of the national debt, mainly to increase the anti-risk ability of Daming's financial affairs and to add a distribution method.

However, all common people or rich households who bought Daming's national debt naturally believed in and were optimistic about Daming's development.

Because treasury bonds are generally ten-year, with a part of the seven-year period, the minimum period is five years.

The change in ten years is really too great. Ten years ago, King Jili hadn't personally conscripted yet.

People who buy national debt can be described as loyal.

And the Ming court distributed part of the development dividends to the loyal people among the people who supported the court with the interest of the national debt. Isn't this a very reasonable thing?

After Zhu Qiyu's inscription was returned to Beijing, it caused a lot of discussion. In the end, Shen Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, still had a lot of opinions and reluctantly agreed, but requested that the scale of the national debt be reduced by half.

The reason for his objection was not that it would damage His Majesty's name, nor was it that it was inappropriate for the court to borrow money from the people.

Shen Yi simply felt that he was at a loss.

Daming's current capital flow is sufficient, and there is no need to pay interest on debts at all. Whatever His Majesty wants to do, even if it is to personally conquer Kang, the Ministry of Households can now provide His Majesty with the military equipment and food that the army needs for three years of battle.

There is absolutely no need to pay interest and borrow money!

Your Majesty does not trust the ability of the Ministry of Accounts to engage in national debt.

Moreover, His Majesty is the father of all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and even if he borrowed money from the people, he still had to pay interest.

Your Majesty is simply too merciful!

he really...

Zhu Qiyu tasted it carefully, only to find that Shen Yi's way of thinking about problems is actually very reasonable under the imperial system.

The Ming Dynasty who has learned literary and martial arts, and the goods and the emperor's family, is the land of the king under the sky; the land of the land, is it the Ming Dynasty of the king's ministers, your majesty raises charitable funds in his own home, just like drawing water from his own well.

Why do you have to pay back the money and interest?

"Logic genius, this Shen Yi is really a brave man, he can only get in and out." Zhu Qiyu closed Shen Yi's memorial.

Logic is right, but it's not.

For more than three generations, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties had the well field system, and it was accompanied by bloody and cruel slavery. Shang Yang's reform was a turning point. The collapse of the well field system and slavery brought about the determination of private ownership.

Private ownership has experienced the powerful families in the Han Dynasty, the Qubu manor economy in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the two tax laws in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, private ownership was officially established in the land of the Central Plains.

Li Xian also asked Zhu Qiyu if he wanted to admit the existence of private rights, and Zhu Qiyu's answer was that it must exist.

Later, King Xiang added this answer, what Daming should pursue is to distinguish between public and private.

The Ministry of Accounting has agreed to the issuance of national debt and actively cooperated with it. However, based on the idea of ​​losing less money, the Ministry of Accounting has cut the size of the national debt from 1000 million silver coins to 500 million silver coins, and it will be divided into five and ten years. Regular sales, 50 silver coins each time.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved Shen Yi's memorial. He proposed 1000 million silver coins at the beginning, just to let the Ministry of Households bargain. His psychological expectation was also around 500 million silver coins.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived at Jinshanwei Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard." Xing'an said in a low voice after taking the memo approved by Zhu.

Today is the time for the launching of the new treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu's big driver, Yu Ren, has arrived at the shipyard.

Similarly, the time when Sun Xianzong, the remnant of Huichangbo Mansion, and others started the incident is also today, and the time is set at sunset.

Daming's pier Yuanhou has already penetrated into this group of rebels and obtained sufficient information.

"Well, get out of the car." Zhu Qiyu was wearing a mian suit, showing that he valued it.

For Da Ming, today is a very, very important day, which means that after today, Da Ming will find the most brilliant fireworks of China Sea Power.

In the 18th year of Yongle, the Ming court owned 250 ocean-going treasure ships, 350 ocean-going tank ships, [-] three-masted ships, [-] cruise ships, and more than [-] warships. It's just a part of the Great Ming Navy.

At the peak of the Daming Navy, its total size was about ten times that of the Spanish Invincible Navy.

It was the most dazzling firework of China Sea Power, and it passed by in a flash.

Zhu Qiyu straightened the twelve-pronged tiara on top of his head, and Ran Siniang hung up the jade hairpin hanging down for Zhu Qiyu, tied on Zhu Ying, fixed the twelve-pronged tiara, and then took the white Luo belt and tied it around Zhu Qiyu's waist between.

The top and bottom of the mianfu are red, separated by a large white belt, embroidered with twelve coats of arms, with five-clawed golden dragons embroidered with gold thread on both arms, carrying the sun and the moon on their shoulders.

Zhu Qiyu moved a little bit, and said with a smile: "My body is enough for Wang Gong's factory to open the furnace more than 100 times."

Mianfu is very expensive, and one piece costs tens of thousands of silver coins.

Ran Siniang held a lot of jade pendants in her hand, hung them on Zhu Qiyu's body, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not have eight sets of regular clothes for four seasons, but this is the only set of crown clothes, and you have worn them three times. Your Majesty is frugal, and you can't even choose Qingliu. Something went wrong."

This mianfu was worn three times, once in the first year of Jingtai to worship the ancestors at the Taimiao, and cut off the name of the Supreme Emperor of King Jili;

Zhu Qiyu didn't even wear a mianfu when he ascended the throne. At that time, the Oirat army was about to go south, and the Ming Dynasty was windy and windy. These etiquettes could be kept simple.

Ran Siniang said that Zhu Qiyu was diligent and thrifty, but she was not flattery, which emperor's crown clothes would be worn a second time?

Even the Shangyi Supervisor didn't know how to wash this mianfu, but His Majesty didn't let the Shangyi Supervisor make new ones, so he could only find a way to wash it.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, and with the support of Ran Siniang and Xing'an, she got off the big driver's seat.

Numerous banners fluttered and fluttered in the wind.

Tiqi Mingguang armor reflected the dazzling light, standing on both sides.

The sound of the drums shook the sky, and the trumpet was melodious.

Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the Songjiang Shipyard, where nearly five thousand shipwrights were waiting in the boat pond.

With Zhu Qiyu's support, she walked to the boat pond step by step. There were viewing platforms on both sides of the boat pond. Ran Siniang stopped supporting her and walked towards the viewing platform.

On the viewing platform, Empress Dowager Sun, King Chong Zhu Jianji, King Ji Zhu Jianshen, and officials from Daming Songjiang Mansion all had seats, but envoys and merchants from Wan Guo City could only stand.

The seaside wind was very strong, and the corners of Zhu Qiyu's clothes were flipped by the sea breeze, revealing the bright armor inside.

Knowing that there are remnants of rebellion, Zhu Qiyu of course wears armor and a crown suit outside, which looks a bit bloated.

He saw the two built ships, crouching like a giant beast, quietly staying in the boat pond.

The emperor stood still and looked at the two treasure ships, dazed in a daze. This is the treasure ship, the powerful weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live." The sound of shouting from mountains and seas interrupted Zhu Qiyu's thoughts.

Zhu Qiyu stretched his hand forward and raised it lightly, and said, "Be flat."

"Thank you, long live."

Li Binyan and Lei Juntai stepped forward, carrying a box covered with red silk in their hands, about one foot long and two feet high.

"This is?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Li Binyan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please uncover the red silk."

Xing'an reached out and untied the red silk, and an extremely exquisite wooden treasure boat appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu.

figure.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

I don't know when, when offering auspiciousness, especially when offering some large-scale equipment, such as the seismograph of the ten calendar bureaus of the Qin Tianjian in the Ming Dynasty, and the spiral hydraulic press of the Bingzhan Bureau, etc., they will make a figure.

It is not surprising that the emperor of Ming Dynasty had his own hobbies.

Lei Juntai made this figure in equal proportions. Firstly, it is convenient for explanation, and secondly, His Majesty can also take it back and ponder it carefully.

Lei Juntai pointed to the model and said: "Daming No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] treasure ships have been built since the completion of the Songjiang Shipyard in the fourth year of Jingtai, and the blueprints were changed seven times. They are battle seats with five masts and seven sails and three thousand materials. Ship, upper and lower decks."

"On the first deck, there are 37 cannons for the General Zhenglu, a total of 28 cannons, more than 110 guns in the mouth of the bowl, [-] cannons for the generals in the middle, two black dragon cannons at the bow, and a mother and child at the stern. Twelve cannons, a total of [-] seven cannons."

"Black Dragon Cannon... Do I remember that Black Dragon Cannon?" Zhu Qiyu looked suspiciously at the two treasure ships armed to the teeth, which were undoubtedly two warships.

The four billowing cannons at the bow of the ship, which are two feet long and more than one foot in diameter, are full of doubts.

In his memory, the diameter of the Black Dragon Cannon was about three feet, and the four guns installed on the ship can be said to have lost weight.

Because the gunpowder of the Black Dragon Cannon could not be fully burned and exploded, the lead bullets could not be evenly stressed, and the chamber always exploded, failing to fire at all.

Every time I read it, I always pull out something to scare people.

"Yes." Yu Qian hurriedly added: "In the past, your majesty and your ministers discussed the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty. The minister said that the military equipment was wasteful. Your majesty said that there is no way out in this world, but if you go a lot, you will find it. Let me try more."

"This black dragon cannon has been fired thousands of times, and finally it has become what it is now. It is loaded with sixty catties of gunpowder, and its power is infinite."

At the beginning, Yu Qian said that the military supervisor of the Ministry of War always used tricks to cheat funds, but Zhu Qiyu thought it would be better to try.

During the alternation of the Song and Song dynasties, the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty used gunpowder sprayed from bamboo poles to frighten the Jin people and Mongolian horses with sound. Up to now, flintlock handguns and bird blunderbusses have also appeared.

"So that's the case." Zhu Qiyu nodded, looking at the black dragon cannon with a smile on his face, he didn't expect this thing to come to the ground.

Lei Juntai continued: "Treasure ships No. [-] and No. [-] are twenty feet long, four feet two feet wide, two feet one foot deep when empty, and four feet two feet deep when fully loaded. Zhang, fourteen Zhang, and the two masts are the same."

"The wind is different at sea, and it can travel thirty to forty miles per hour."

The proportion of the original treasure ship of Ming Dynasty was closer to a square, which was not conducive to turning at sea. However, at the beginning of the design of the new treasure ship, it was constantly adjusted, and finally formed the rectangular ship in front of it.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the two giant ships in front of him, nodded and said, "Go into the water."

Lei Juntai turned around, waved a flag vigorously in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Open the gate!"

The two boat ponds began to open the gates to release water, and the water filled the entire boat pond. Countless boatmen started running, releasing the fixed ropes, and winches appeared on both sides, and the ropes were hung on the boat.

Numerous commanders ran around, passing on the news, and when the rope was fixed, Lei Juntai waved the flag in his hand again and shouted loudly: "Get out!"

The winch moved forward slowly under the push of countless boatmen, the ropes were gradually tightened, and the two treasure ships began to move slowly and firmly towards the vast sea.

The strong man standing at the front of the winch yelled: "Hey!"

The tracker behind him responded in a low voice: "Hey!"

The voice was short and heavy, and because there were more people shouting, the momentum became thick and majestic.

The long yell of the foreman and the short chants of the trackers gradually formed a vigorous and uniform chant.

When you sing, I join in;

You speak, I speak;
