Zhao Hao is too sensitive to the problem of money, he was locked up on the ship in disguise for several years in his last life, and he is always troubled by money in this life, and he can do his best for money. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info made him feel that he was a businessman, how to make money was his main business, and what training the army, inventing new weapons, and constantly shouting to restore the country to 'rob' were just means of making profits.

And recalling what happened today, Zhao Hao reminded him of a war in his previous life - the Gulf War. At that time, the United States united with its subjects in the name of helping Kuwait and was authorized by the United Nations to beat Iraq severely. However, the people who eat melons can see clearly that it is fake to help others, that it controls Iraq's oil is real, and that the United States' behavior is completely fake for public and private purposes.

Everyone has seen the results of the war, Kuwait has been restored, Saddam Hussein has been instigated, and the Iraqi army has suffered heavy casualties and returned home in disgrace. But the vast number of people who eat melons can watch the high-tech excitement, see the strength of the US imperialism, lament that Iraq was defeated too quickly, and are also ready to borrow the light of the US imperialists to enjoy the fruits of this war - cheap gasoline.

But it soon became clear that the $30 a barrel of oil before the Gulf War was gone, replaced by the price of oil on a rocket, and the oil soon soared to nearly $150 a barrel. The people who eat melons are completely incomprehensible at this time, if the US imperialists are really for oil, and the price of oil has risen more than four times, then this battle will have to pay for the loss.

Zhao Yu, who was one of them, was also very confused, and his perception of the US imperialist changed greatly, so he almost went to receive cents. But after he read a book, he became angry again, scolding this old beauty for hiding too deeply, and pitting everyone and thinking that he was a savior! This is a more hidden, more brutal, and more helpless financial war.

This made Zhao Yu understand that war is not simple, and the world knows that contemporary finance is the financial history of the hegemony of the dollar, and the mystery lies in this. In the mid-to-late twentieth century, the Americans forced OPEC to agree that global oil transactions could only be settled in dollars, and the result was inevitable. To put it simply, if you have more than 30 dollars in your hand, you can buy a barrel of oil, and now if you want to buy a barrel of oil, you need more than four times as many dollars, but what if you don't have that many dollars in your hand? You'll have to go to the U.S. government and ask for it.

It is a well-known truth that there is no free lunch in the world, and the US imperialists have always put interests first, and they are not philanthropists, so how can they give you dollars for nothing! If you want dollars to talk about, then trade your resources and products, and the pricing power is in the hands of the Americans, who can take the opportunity to drive down your prices and enjoy your resources and products cheaply. It is understandable why American goods are cheaper than Chinese goods. Americans live too comfortably, not only for good money, but also for low prices.

On the other hand, China, after so many years of development, labor costs have been very low, and it is said that your prices should be low, but why are the prices of Chinese goods higher than those of the United States? The reason is that because of the peg between the dollar and oil, when China became the world's largest oil importer last year, it needed to prepare more dollars to buy oil, which means that you have to exchange more products and resources for dollars.

Of course, there is no fairness in this kind of transaction, and the United States can suppress your prices and force you to sell things to the United States at a price lower than the cost price in the form of export tax rebates or even export subsidies in order to export, so of course Americans can enjoy low-cost goods. This war is really a game that the Americans have carefully set up for the whole world, so that the Americans can take possession of your physical wealth with green paper at almost no cost, and you can only pay for joining the globalization process.

Zhao Hao also thought about what the United States relied on to make the people of the world pay for him? He pondered that this should also be regarded as a form of civilization, a form of forced credit created by national strength, especially strong military power, and a form of hegemony unique to the United States. This dollar-dominated global credit system, which has become the basic way of survival for the United States, has profited from the dollar's success in tying it to oil.

Linking this matter to current events makes Zhao Hao ponder, from ancient times to the present, what is the ultimate expression of every form of civilization? Or what is the core of every civilization? After tossing and turning, he finally realized that this is credit. Whether by force or benevolence, within the boundaries of one's own dominance or within the scope of its influence, establish a credit system dominated by it.

At present, the Mongols used iron hooves and scimitars to promote the nomadic barter steppe civilization to half the world, and under the influence of the Central Plains civilization, they realized the exchange of physical goods and physical objects with money as the intermediary.

Of course, Zhao Hao was not optimistic enough to think that he could really create a modern form of financial civilization, because he clearly realized that his current strength could not surpass that of the Mongols, and for the time being, he could not overthrow the credit system that the Yuan Empire had already established. Now he has built a simple credit system with the abundance and cheapness of salt, but he knows that even this needs to be supported by strong military strength to be able to consolidate and develop, and further expand.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Zhao Yu decided not to interfere with the use of salt for the time being, but to observe for a period of time, but to closely monitor the changes in the data, find the rules, and prevent the collapse of salt prices. Thinking about tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow is the big court, these two days are basically rare to rest, I still recuperate first to meet the most painful Spring Festival for myself......

…………

After dawn, Zhao Yu got up, washed and changed clothes, and went to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye, accompanied her to share breakfast, and then the mother and son talked for a while. But what the Queen Mother said the most was the grand occasion of the Spring Festival in the past, and Zhao Yu could only be patient, pretending to be very interested, and asked questions from time to time that seemed very naïve, which made the Queen Mother laugh.

"The official family will have to accompany the Queen Mother more in the future, the little one has not been so happy to see the Queen Mother for a long time!" Dou Xing said with a smile on the side.

"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, the sixth brother has to deal with a lot of military affairs every day, where do you have time to come to the mourning family!" The Queen Mother touched the little emperor's head lovingly.

"Queen Mother, what Senior Official Dou said is right, I am not filial, and I will definitely accompany my mother more in the future." Zhao Yu leaned on the Queen Mother and said.

Empress Dowager Yang is now only in her thirties, but in the past few years, she has experienced drastic changes in her life such as the loss of her husband and child, the collapse of the country and the death of her family, but she has taken on the important task of teaching the young emperor to restore the country, which makes her feel helpless when she has never been involved in political affairs. When he arrived in Qiongzhou, he gradually took power by his rise, and he returned to loneliness and lived in this palace.

'Once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea', although Empress Dowager Yang is extremely noble, she cannot escape this curse. All year round, I can only live in the palace, with these palace maids and eunuchs, and I don't even have anyone to talk to in my heart. Zhao Yu was imprisoned on a ship for several years in his previous life, so he naturally knows what it feels like to be lonely, lonely and cold, and how difficult life is. With more treasures to her, it is better to talk to her.

"Okay, good, when the sixth brother grows up quickly, after the wedding, someone will talk to the mourning family, and if you have a group of children, you won't be lonely anymore!" Empress Dowager Yang said with a smile.

"This ......" Zhao Hao's face turned red and muttered, "My son is still young, so I want to stay with my mother, and I will talk about the wedding later!" ”

"Sixth brother, don't take this matter to heart, the first emperor gave birth to six sons, and now you are the only one who survives. And the Zhao family is loose and scattered, and this continuation of the bloodline is pinned on the official family. If the bloodline is broken, where will the mourning family still have the face to see the first emperor and the ancestors! Listening to Zhao Hao's words, Empress Dowager Yang grabbed his hand and said with a straight face.

"Queen Mother, my son is only ten years old after the New Year, is it too urgent to get married?" Zhao Hao saw that his tears were in his eyes, and he couldn't say no, so he could only smile bitterly.

"No hurry, no hurry!" Empress Dowager Yang waved her hand again and again, "This country people make a family affair at the age of two or three, and it is common for them to get married at the age of ten. After the New Year, the mourning family will summon all the deacons to select show girls in the hundred officials and the countryside, and set a family affair for my son! ”

"This ...... Queen Mother, the Tartar has not been destroyed, the family and country have not been restored, how can I be home? Zhao Hao sighed and said, if this is placed in modern times, it is a child marriage, which is prohibited by the state, and such a young child knows a fart, it can really be called a family play, but the Queen Mother takes this as a national affair to grasp, and she is even more responsible for continuing the dragon vein, so he feels unconfident when he says this!

"Sixth brother, you can only get in touch with the government after the big wedding, and the mourning family can let go, so if you want to show your ambitions, you need to get married earlier!" Empress Dowager Yang is authentic.

"The queen mother, the son is still in the age of the general horn, he has not performed the crown ceremony, the day of pro-government is still far away, and the queen mother is still needed to preside over state affairs, don't shirk!" Zhao Yu knew that what the Queen Mother said was true, and she actually controlled the government, but Yili still couldn't be pro-government, and this kind of thing still had to be modest.

"The sixth brother is still playful, and he just wants to be lazy, and the mourning family doesn't want to deal with these tedious political affairs every day. You'll have two more years to do the crown ceremony, and then you'll be married! Empress Dowager Yang poked the little emperor's head with her finger and said.

"Queen Mother, the Book of Rites has a cloud of 'twenty and crowns', it's still early!" It's not that Zhao Yu doesn't want to marry a wife, but he has no confidence in himself, marrying a wife at such a young age, once his small body is immersed in it and can't extricate himself, I'm afraid he won't have a few years of longevity, and the emperors in history died from this series of stories, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps, so he was very resistant to early marriage. Besides, whoever marries this one or not, he can't be the master now, so it's better to wait.

"Sixth brother, do you really think that the mourning family has never read a book and doesn't know etiquette?" Empress Dowager Yang patted Zhao Yu on the head and said with a smile, "King Wen of Zhou is twelve and crowned, and there is also a thing in "Zuo Biography" that 'Lu Xianggong is twelve and crowned', and the former prime minister of this dynasty, Sima Junshi, also said in the "Shuyi" that men are twelve to twenty years old, as long as their parents do not have more than one period of mourning, they can perform a crown ceremony. ”

"Queen Mother, according to the words of several masters, everyone Cheng Yi once said, 'The crown is responsible for adults, and twelve years is not the time to be responsible', and also said, 'Although the princes of the Son of Heaven are also crowned by twenty'." Zhao Yu actually knew that what the Queen Mother said was good, but he also knew that there was controversy about the age of the crown ceremony in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother had already done her homework.

Sima Guang simplified the "Rites and Rites" and formulated the ceremony of the crown ceremony. "Zhuzi's Family Rites" follows the main rituals of Sima Guang's "Shuyi", but stipulates that the crown year is 15 to 20 years for men, and puts forward corresponding requirements from the aspect of knowledge: "If you are a gentleman who is good and good in ancient times, and his son is more than 15 years old, he can read the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects", and know the prescription of etiquette and righteousness, and then crown it, and Si Qi is beautiful."

However, there were also disagreements and arguments among the scholars over the age of the crown. Cheng Yi resolutely objected, he believed that since he was crowned, he must be responsible for adult affairs, otherwise it would become a false courtesy. If he cannot be held accountable for adult matters after the crown, he cannot be expected to become an adult for the rest of his life. At present, science is prevalent, and Zhao Hao's quotation of Cheng Yi's doctrine to shirk it is also the most convincing.

"This ...... Well, this matter is indeed up for discussion, and it will be discussed between the mourning family and several rulers, but at this time, it is an extraordinary time, and the mourning family thinks they will agree! Empress Dowager Yang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Yes, yes, this matter is still some time, don't give someone a handle for this!" Zhao Yu hurriedly said, wanting to end this topic as soon as possible.

"It's good!" Empress Dowager Yang nodded and said, "Dou Xing will give the gift list to the sixth brother to see if he needs to add something!" ”

"The queen mother has thought it through, I don't have to look at it anymore!" Zhao Yu listened to it with black lines on his face, and then he remembered that there was still a family in Daning Village, and he still didn't hide from the things that annoyed him after hiding for a long time, and waved his hand.

"Give it to him!" Empress Dowager Yang lowered her face when she heard this, and she glanced at Dou Xing and said, "Daning Village has sent a lot of tribute this year, and they have dispatched 3,000 slang soldiers to help in this battle, and the officials must not take it lightly!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Yu took the gift list handed over by Dou Xing, looked at it and said, "Queen Mother, this reward is already very heavy, do you still need to add it?" ”

"Sixth brother, the mourning family knows that you are dissatisfied with this marriage, but this is also for the sake of the community, and you don't have to worry about slang in the future. And if this reward is light, it will make them think that we mean to despise us, and thus be dissatisfied, and this move is also meant to be enveloped! Empress Dowager Yang sighed.

"Well, my son has been taught!" Zhao Yu frowned and nodded, he didn't expect a woman's political experience to be like this, but under the current circumstances, he can't say that it's wrong, and he can only accept it, looking at the gift list is full of jewelry, silk and satin, so he asked Wang De to add some gold and silver utensils, plus a batch of armor and weapons, and the Queen Mother nodded before it was counted......
