Chapter 487: Resistance Comes from the Place

One of the most direct benefits of the implementation of the study of mind is that the mind is opened, and everything can be discussed. Otherwise, you dare to question the words of a saint? If the heavens are like this, how can mortals put their beaks in their beaks?

How many national economies and people's livelihoods are so frightened that they dare not talk about it.

But now it's different, since we start from the heart, there is nothing that can't be discussed, especially the major matters related to the common people, and we can't let it go.

Abolish the silver taels and use silver coins instead, will this work?

Unexpectedly, it was just announced, and it actually opposed the voice, which occupied the mainstream, and did not get support for it because Zhu Houxi was the emperor.

Your Majesty, let's stop tossing, your old Zhu family has played once, so don't fool people anymore.

Naturally, these people are talking about treasure money!

mentioned treasure money, this thing is definitely an invention of Lao Zhu's pit father, even if he wants to help him wash it, it is estimated that he can't wash it.

The advantages and disadvantages of paper money are equally obvious.

Especially when you can't control it, it's like eating two catties of croton, and it's like a thousand miles...... In the Hongwu Dynasty, treasure money began to overflow.

Since it is overflowing, what should we do?

The answer is very simple, that is, to use a greater flood to heal the current flood.

As long as there are enough issuances, the depreciation will not catch up with me.

Adhering to this concept, the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty were printed wildly, and in the end they were reluctant to use good paper to print, after all, paper also costs money.

The result is that the treasure money that came out was worse than straw paper, and it broke with a light poke, and it took two more layers to wipe the buttocks......

Your old Zhu family has created a sin and pitted countless people.

I want to come back now, I'm sorry, we don't do it.

Zhu Houxi's face really darkened, "Wang Yue, you have a good idea!" ”

Wang Yue also expressed helplessness!

"Your Majesty, the minister really tried his best, I thought of using King Kaiping and Yu Shaobao as spokesmen...... Or, just replace the avatar with His Majesty's, I guess it will work? ”

Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he was furious!

"Wang Yue! You're playing me like a three-year-old, aren't you? If you use me, it will, it will be worse......" Zhu Houxi's voice was faint...... It turned out that he also knew that the royal credit was really not good.

In fact, Wang Yue had already planned to pass this part of the currency, after all, there were too many predecessors, relying on opening a bank, running a money number, and making a windfall, he could do it again!

It's just that after he actually studied it, he had to admit that there are some things, even if he has the aura of the protagonist, it can't be done!

Some people will say that in ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the common people did not trust the imperial court, the people were ignorant, not easy to manage, and there were people everywhere, even if they were good, they did not appreciate it, conservative and backward, stupid, and hopeless......

People who hold such lofty arguments always have a lofty posture, like the posture of the Son of Heaven, and they are absolutely reluctant to look at problems from the perspective of the people.

For those ordinary people, the court in their eyes is constantly exploiting and extorting, not to mention their life, even if they count hundreds of years, it is also a virtue.

The people's biggest expectation for Lord Qingtian is that he can uphold justice, judge cases fairly, and not be afraid of power, which is enough for them to be grateful to Dade and engraved in their hearts.

As for more, that's unthinkable.

Therefore, any reform of the law must take into account the actual conditions...... What are the benefits of implementing Qingzhang?

Increase fiscal revenue, reduce displaced people, and pay taxes fairly...... These are all there, but it is undeniable that in the process of re-purging, the court and the people are equivalent to signing a new contract, and it is relatively fair and reasonable, and the people can accept it.

Only when this contract is effectively implemented can it win the trust of people and promote more changes...... Monetary reform is one of the most important ones.

"Actually, the matter of treasure money, grandpa Tai is also helpless!"

Zhu Houxi still decided to hardwash, "Our Central Plains has always lacked gold and silver, but the products are abundant, and we need a lot of currency...... I also want to guarantee the banknotes so that they can be exchanged for gold and silver, but I really don't have that much money! ”

Wang Yue nodded vigorously and strongly agreed...... It's not okay if you don't agree, this is what he told the Empress Dowager Jiang, and Zhu Houxi learned it from the old lady.

Rounding off, Zhu Houxi is about equal to his apprentice, and Wang Yue, as a master, of course agrees.

It's just that the situation is slightly better, and of course, thanks to the great contribution made by the Wa Kingdom, which provides millions of taels of silver every year, as well as more copper, and a considerable amount of gold.

By virtue of its own strength, the Japanese country accounted for more than 60% of the overseas inflow of precious metals!

"I issue gold and silver coins this time, and they are not a piece of waste paper! How can there be so many objections to the real thing? Are all these people brains broken? ”

Zhu Houxi was puzzled.

As the head of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yue naturally needs to solve the doubts of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister pondered and figured out the source of the article in the newspaper, and he could almost find out the general idea."

Zhu Houxi was not shocked by this method, after all, it was not very clever, it was just an ordinary strategy, let Huang Jin investigate!

The little fat man was still very effective, and when he sent the results, Zhu Houxi was stunned.

"Your Majesty, more than half of the articles that have recently appeared in newspapers opposing monetary reform have been written by officials."

"Officials?" Zhu Houxi frowned, "Could it be that someone in the court is against me?" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly waved his hand, "Emperor, this matter has little to do with the adults in the court, but it is ...... It has a lot to do with the local yamen! ”

After Huang Jin finished speaking, Zhu Houxi's brows furrowed even deeper, what are these guys jumping out for?

It doesn't make sense at all!

"The emperor, such as the Spring and Autumn scholar who is most opposed to reform, his real identity is the maternal uncle and master of the Huai'an prefect. Also, this Geng Jieren, he is a scribe in Yangzhou Mansion, and his pen name is more than a dozen miles...... Although they were very careful to hide and used pen names, they underestimated Dongchang's ability. The slaves and maids have not been idle all these years, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has made a lot of efforts, and the slaves and maids have done their best for the emperor! ”

The corners of Zhu Houxi's mouth turned up, and he sneered, "Huang Jin, are you blushing when you see Wang Yue's meritorious service?" Is this your credit? This is obviously your inaction and letting it go, and as a result, these people are unscrupulous, thinking that if they use a pseudonym to cover up, no one will know their true identity? Right? ”

Huang Jin opened his mouth wide in shock, was stunned for a while, puffed out his cheeks and said: "This is called luring the snake out of the hole, it is a very clever art of war!" ”

"Shut up!"

Zhu Houxi snorted coldly: "I want to know now, why are these local officials so opposed to currency reform?" What is it for? ”

Huang Jin rolled his eyelids, I don't know about this, don't ask me.

"Envy!"

Wang Yue suddenly spit out two words!

Zhu Houxi's body was shocked, including Huang Jin's eyes.

Got it!

The gold and silver coins that Wang Yue made were well-made, and the value of each one was fixed. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to damage it, and if you dare to steal gold and silver, you will be severely punished.

In this way, in the process of trading, the number of gold and silver coins can be counted directly, and there is no need for complicated conversion, which is of course a great good thing for business.

In the same way, the new currency can be used to pay taxes.

Now it's in trouble.

For example, the current local officials of the Ming Dynasty have a very important source of income, which is the so-called consumption of envy!

Take the levy of grain as an example, for example, it is stipulated that two stones should be paid, but there will be sparrow and rat thieves, and the common people pay two stones, and it is very likely that when they are put into storage, they will be less than two stones.

The local yamen will not bear this loss, only when paying taxes, collect more, as for how much overcharge, it depends on the mood.

In the same way, the payment of gold and silver bars will not guarantee the full value because of impurities, so you have to pay a little more, which is called fire consumption!

As the name suggests, it is the part that is lost in the process of minting official silver.

Don't underestimate these two, as the saying goes, the three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes and silver, came from here.

In some places, the consumption is even greater than that of the main class.

Monetary reform, first of all, cut off the hands and feet of these people, can they agree?

"This time it's finally clear, our next stop is Huai'an, let me also understand how much extra taxes the people have to pay!" Zhu Houxi said murderously.
