Youzhou is the first important town in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with developed industry and land transportation hub, radiating the entire Liaodong, including the desert, if you want, you can also extend the territory all the way to the north and extend to the ice-covered world.

Some time ago, someone brought in more than a dozen polar bears with white fur, and they instantly became the stars of Youzhou Zoo!

After Ye Hua left the position of prime minister, he has been living in Youzhou, observing the trend of the whole world...... With his skills, as long as you get a glimpse, you can know the whole picture.

Everyone has their own style tendencies, and the things that Kou Zhun did before, even including the liquidation of the previous dynasty, are within Ye Hua's tolerance.

But when he began to reform finance, Ye Hua knew that things were going to go bad!

"Kou Zhun will definitely take this path, even if I am in power, I guess there is no good way."

Ye Hua paced slowly, his tone full of worry.

Ye San shook his stout body and followed behind his father. As Ye Hua's second son, Ye San and Ye Xi took different paths. From childhood to adulthood, Ye Xi was just more rebellious in front of his parents, and he pretended to be a dog outside.

You're welcome, standard other people's children!

Ye San is different, he has been skinned until he grows up, and he doesn't know how many pieces have been broken by the family law alone, but it's okay, but he has practiced a pair of copper skin and iron bones.

When he was eighteen years old, he decided to travel around the world, and he really did what he said, so he took a dozen friends and sailed around the world in a small sailboat.

Although some people have done it a long time ago, it is still difficult and dangerous to be as simple as theirs.

Ye San, a rabbit cub, didn't feel that it was enjoyable enough, after he landed in the Americas, he also ran to climb the snowy mountains, went to Africa, and went to the prairie to hunt lions, and the most angry thing was that he ran to the North Pole regardless of the danger.

After this toss, Ye San also paid the price, and his right foot lost two toes forever...... After coming back, Fu San was angry and threatened to lock him up until he was old and never allow him to go out.

A mother, seeing her son frostbite, how sad she should be, you can imagine!

However, after experiencing the adventure, Ye San was honest and quickly took over the old lady's business, and showed a strong talent in finance.

In the past few years, Ye San has been reborn, and the blue is better than the blue.

He smiled and followed behind his father, "Dad, it's human nature, there is a stable life, no one wants to take risks...... Of course, children are an exception! ”

Ye Hua snorted, "There is a price to be paid for taking risks!" ”

"But the child has gained more!"

Ye San said proudly: "Dad, when the child goes on a voyage around the world, he just wants to tell himself that lying on the merit book and relying on the shadow of his ancestors will never work." If this is true for one person, it is also true for a country. I still remember that Mr. Qi Tongwen raised a question before his death, why the Han and Tang dynasties could not escape the fate of prosperity and decline, and the child wanted to try to answer it! ”

Ye Hua's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect that this little troublemaker had such a big tone, it was really not Wuxia Ameng!

"Okay, I want to hear your arguments too!"

"I can't talk about it." Ye San said with a smile: "The child just said, human nature is easy and hard-working, how can the country not be like this." Especially the bureaucracy of the leader country! ”

"What does the Great Zhou Jiangshan that Kou Zhun took over look like? The territory is vast, the population is large, the economy is prosperous, the military force is strong, and there are almost no decent foreign enemies! Da Zhou stood on the top of the mountain, and Dad didn't know what to do next, let alone Kou Zhun! ”

Ye Hua frowned, such a powerful son, he really spoke to his heart...... Ye Hua actually had some hazy thoughts, but his situation was really not good to continue to advance, so he had to retreat, Ye San said that he didn't know how to go, and it was not wrong.

"Dad, the strength of the country cannot be regarded as the strength on the table, but also depends on whether the leading group is beneficial, the Han and Tang dynasties flourished and declined, the reason is that they lost their opponents, from the Son of Heaven to the hundred officials, all of them have slack, they are relaxed, lazy, do not want to forge ahead, and do not know how to forge ahead...... How can it not flourish and decline? ”

"Let's talk about the current Kou Zhun, the current Great Zhou Baiguan! In the face of challenges and impacts, they are unwilling to face them head-on, but choose to use their advantages to encircle and suppress, and even plunder! The child can unceremoniously assert that even if they succeed once, twice, three times...... There will always be times when there will be failures, and I can also assert that this financial reform will destroy the entire industry in Youzhou! ”

Ye Hua couldn't help but pause, closed his eyes and thought, and then said slowly: "Is it really that serious?" ”

Ye San smiled: "Dad, maybe it's even more serious than we imagined!" Kou Zhun miscalculated! ”

Ye Hua pondered for a long time, and said helplessly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's really going to be a big mess in the world." ”

Ye San leaned over and said, "Dad, isn't it time for you to go out of the mountain and clean up the mess?" ”

Ye Hua pondered for a long time and said, "Let's look at it!" ”

……

Financial reform is proceeding in an orderly manner...... The gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom, Luzon, Tianzhu, America, and Dashi were constantly transported to the Great Zhou, and new versions of paper money were quickly issued.

Kou Zhun was quite polite, he didn't take advantage of the financial reform to plunder, as Ye Hua's disciple, how could he not know the power of finance.

Although gold and silver were exchanged for paper money, Kou Zhun tried his best to keep the value of the currency stable and did not let the localities suffer too much. Li Changling still wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he was called by Kou Zhun and beaten hard, and in the end he could only cry out in vain.

The financial reform seems to be very stable and good, but Ye San has found signs of crisis...... First of all, after the financial abundance, Kou Zhun increased the salary of officials.

Compared with the Ye Hua era, the income of officials has skyrocketed by as much as 70 percent!

In addition, Kou Zhun also raised the salary of the officials.

Originally, Ye Hua asked for a thirty percent of the original three-percent, but Kou Zhun waved his pen and changed it to seventy percent!

If the officials are promoted, the ranks of the military must also be promoted...... In addition, the salaries of teachers in schools have also increased, and the salaries of workers have also increased under the rain and rain, while further tax cuts have been made to encourage consumption.

The whole Youzhou is showing a thriving situation, with streets and alleys and business shops crowded with men, women and children shopping.

Everywhere you go, there are crowds of people, lively and extraordinary, it looks like it is really singing and dancing, and it is full of flowers.

But under the prosperous era, there has been a crisis, and a steamed bun shop that Ye Hua often goes to has quietly closed...... After 30 years of opening, the fried liver has a unique taste, a large amount of affordability, and is very popular, and many diners are surprised, how did such a thriving business close its doors?

"Can you not close the door?" Ye San laughed and said: "The rent has increased year after year, and in the last three months, it has been raised by half!" After working hard for a year, all the money earned was given to the landlord, deducting daily expenses, there was almost nothing left, what could you do if you didn't close the door! ”

Ye Hua carried the kettle, sprinkled his flowers and plants, and said casually: "Do you know what the owner of the shop is doing?" ”

"It's time to buy stocks!"

Ye Hua was surprised: "Stocks? He's not crazy, is he? A steamed bun seller, does he understand finance? ”

"You don't need to understand, everything is rising now, and everyone has become an investment expert...... That, Dad, why don't you take your money and buy it too! Fortunately, Kou Zhun has raised the salary, and you can always get a lot of money! ”

Ye Hua raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Do I care about that money? ”

He tossed the kettle aside and sat down with a grunt.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Ye San did not hesitate, and kept talking, telling his father...... Kou Zhun's idea of playing finance is naturally to empty the white wolf. Instead of working hard to produce goods to make money, it is better to rely on printing paper to make money quickly!

Therefore, after the unification of financial power, the imperial court's money printing machine started at high speed.

It's not good to have too much of anything, and the same is true for money.

Put water on it, and naturally everything rises.

It's like a steamed bun shop, a small business, raw materials, labor, and rent, all three are rising, what else can the boss do? Will the price of steamed buns go up?

If the price increase is less, it will not be used, and the customers will run away if the price rises more.

"A little shop like this is the first to fall...... This was followed by the closure of some small and medium-sized factories. Ye San said: "Now there are signs of it, the imperial court has repeatedly raised wages, and many small factories have begun to lay off employees." ”

Ye Hua listened silently and asked, "Do these people have any plans?" ”

"There are basically two kinds, one is to move the factory overseas to find a low-cost place, and the other is to cash in the money and invest it in the stock market!"

Ye Sandao: "The supporting factories are gone, and the relocation of large factories is just around the corner, and if they don't go, there is only a dead end." Youzhou is different from Kaifeng, it is industry-oriented, and the child said that Kou Zhun would kill Youzhou, is this wrong? ”

After his son finished speaking, Ye Hua was silent for a long time, and squeezed out eight words from between his teeth: "Financial empire, industry is empty!" ”

Ye San nodded again and again, like a chicken pecking rice.

"I've said so much, it's just not as good as my father! That's it! ”

Ye Hua couldn't be happy, he could see the problem, but it didn't mean that he had a way to solve it.

The global hegemon, embarked on the road of a financial empire, that is traceable, easy to make money in finance, both elegant and lofty, when the British Empire established a global colonial system, the pound became the currency of international settlement, it lay on the credit book, began to rely on the pound to live a good life.

The eyes of many neighbors were red with envy, and Germany fought hard to grab it.

However, there is a saying that you can't just watch thieves eat meat, and you can't watch thieves get beaten.

What did the British pay for financial hegemony? They enforced the two-power standard, emptied their families, maintained a huge Royal Navy, and the heavy military expenditure slowed down the pace of the British, and when the real strong enemy attacked, they had to rely on the former colonies to survive.

Of course, the United States, which took over the financial hegemony from Britain, is no better, and in order to maintain its position as financial hegemon, it has paid nearly half of the world's military spending, saddled more than 20 trillion yuan in debt, and hollowed out the domestic industrial foundation......

Ye Hua doesn't want to judge whether it's good or bad, each country has its own path, the problem is to figure it out, the pursuit of the same thing, you must pay the corresponding price.

You are the overlord, not God, and it is not your turn to do whatever you want and ignore the laws of physics!

"It's not a matter of one or two days, maybe Kou Zhun thinks that something may not happen, at least during his tenure, he can get through it safely." Ye San chuckled, "It's a pity, he miscalculated, as far as I know, Second Brother Zhao has already done it, in addition, Yang Ye, Gao Huaide, and Zhang Yongde have all begun to exert their full strength to attract immigrants and investors all over the world...... In addition, Wei Xianmei also made a move, the East Courtyard led the local snakes, with the help of these people, it won't be long before most of the industry will be moved out! At that time, Kou Zhun was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to find a tone to cry! Ye San said sarcastically.

Suddenly, Ye Hua suddenly changed color, "Say, did you also follow them?" Give me the truth! Don't hide it! ”

Ye San smiled and said, "Daddy is wise, it's true!" But I'm not burdened! Overseas is also Huaxia, and it is also Han Chinese! The meat rots in the pot, what is there to worry about"

Ye Hua couldn't be optimistic at all, "You said it lightly, the overseas forces are strong, in case one day, they want to get rid of the control of Da Zhou, what will happen to your brother-in-law's country?" ”
