Sandalwood curls, mixed with fine ambergris, without a trace of fireworks, just a pinch of incense, it is ten times more expensive than the same weight of gold, fluttering, the fragrance through the seven orifices, into the heart and lungs, as if to the clouds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Yueying leaned lazily on Tang Yi and praised: "That is, Sister Zhou is willing to spend money and has money, but I'm afraid that the tributes used in the palace can't catch up with her." ”

"What, envious? If you talk about money, Miss Zhou is still not as good as us, except for the moon and stars in the sky, everything will be given to you! ”

"Come on! People are not little girls who have never seen the world, and they will be coaxed by you! Wang Yueying smiled faintly: "The moon in the sky is round and missing, how can people take all the good things." The master is already a member of the imperial court, our family must know how to be restrained, even if it is the money that he earns, outsiders will say that the way is not right, melon fields and plums, I understand this truth. ”

Wang Yueying suddenly turned her head, lay on Tang Yi's body, and said fiercely: "Brother, I don't understand, what did you say to Sister Zhou, making her feel like a ghost, she was going to move out of our house overnight, and she didn't want to live for a moment." ”

Tang Yi smiled helplessly, "Bacheng, she was worried that I had bad intentions and was not good for her, so I ran away." ”

Wang Yueying stared at Tang Yi for a long time, laughing so much that even tears came out.

"Forget it, Sister Zhou's life is also very bitter, in the early years, she had to take on the family business alone, and she didn't dare to marry, but when she got older, she finally met an old jinshi, who knew that as soon as she got married, she was gone. When she wrote to me, she also said that she was a mourning star in this life, and she deserved to die alone. In fact, I know in my heart that with her status, talent and means, there are not many men who can match her, and she can't wait to ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Yi glared at Wang Yueying, Zhou Qinyun is in his early thirties, because of his excellent maintenance, he looks like he is twenty-six or seventeen years old, he is not old at all, he can take care of transportation, and he doesn't need to say anything. It's just that Tang Yi doesn't have so much thought, he can accept Lu Ying, it can be regarded as an accident, although it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be an accident in the future, but for the time being, he does not have so much thought.

Wang Yueying stuck out her tongue and said shyly: "Brother, it's a matter of issuing treasure money, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Cut, apart from this, what else can have to do with Sister Zhou." Wang Yueying frowned and asked, "Brother, you gave such a good thing to Jin Shang, did you dig a pit?" ”

This surprised Tang Yi, because up and down, whether it was the imperial court, the Jin merchants, or even those in the traffic line, they didn't see Tang Yi's calculations, when did Xiao Nizi become so powerful?

Wang Yueying smiled proudly, "People are not amazing, but they understand you!" Someone bullied us, you must take revenge, brother, you are a stingy ghost! ”

Wang Yueying said coquettishly, lying on Tang Yi's body, hugging his neck, like a koala. almost flattered: "Brother, promise me that you have to be forgiving and forgiving, after all, it will hurt the innocent." ”

Tang Yi stroked his wife's flexible hair, doting on her. After a long time, Tang Yi said slowly: "Yueying, revenge is only one of the reasons, do you know, in fact, there is not much time left for me, if this Longqing reform fails, not only will I be ruined, but the entire Ming Dynasty will lose the last chance to turn over, no matter what, the change of dynasty and the blood will be inevitable......"

Many years have passed, Wang Yueying recalled that night, she still had palpitations, her little face was pale, Tang Yi was full of scaring nonsense, but what she said was so true, their generation may not be able to see it, but peace and ordinary, or their children and grandchildren, will definitely encounter, the life is devastated, the land of Shenzhou is sinking, and the darkness of hundreds of years is boundless......

When people reflect on the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they have summarized many points, such as the corruption of the government, the incompetence of the army, the greed of officials, the emperor's rice bucket, the rampant eunuchs, the rise of the Eight Banners, as well as climatic factors, financial depletion and other factors.

In fact, in Tang Yi's view, these reasons can be used in all dynasties and dynasties with a little adjustment, and they are authentic panaceas, and they are eternal diseases.

It is difficult to solve it, and it is difficult to achieve quick results, which is not the real key to cracking the fall of the empire.

After long-term observation, Tang Yi gathered the wisdom of the two worlds, he believes that the problem is actually in the opening of the sea trade, of course, the opening of the sea is not wrong, with overseas trade, exchange of knowledge, absorb silver, solve the financial dilemma, alleviate deflation, there are many benefits, but the problem is that the influx of wealth is not well controlled, or, the supply of silver is suddenly interrupted, as if the blood vessels supplying nutrients are broken, there is no way to deal with it, and the death of the body is inevitable.

Historically, the southeast has experienced decades of trade prosperity, and the situation is similar to Tang Yi's opening of the sea, but Tang Yi did it earlier, the movement is greater, and the effect is better.

Next, the Spanish side thought that the trade deficit with Daming was serious, and the silver they dug up with great difficulty was given to Daming. As a result, Spain imposed trade sanctions on the Ming Dynasty and massacres Chinese merchants in Luzon and other places.

At the same time, they also took advantage of the phenomenon of Daming silver being expensive and cheap to frantically arbitrage gold and disrupt the financial order of Daming. As a result, all industries in the southeast of the country, which are heavily endowed, are depressed, and the people are struggling to make a living. After the major families lost their overseas markets, the profits of industrial and commercial workshops plummeted, and even lost money, and there was no imperial court to help solve the problem. had to turn to more frenzied land annexation, and a large number of people went bankrupt, so that the imperial court's tax revenue continued to drop sharply.

Catching up with the continuous disasters and frequent wars in the north, the Ming court increased the intensity of expropriation, looted the people's wealth, and filled the loopholes in the north, the result was that the border troubles in the north were not solved, but made the gentry in the south deviate from morality......

Moreover, under the double pressure of the gentry and the imperial court, the peasants accelerated their bankruptcy and became homeless.

When Chongzhen hanged himself, there was only one Wang Chengen by his side, which is not surprising. Some people blame the gentry clique headed by the Donglin Party for the problem, which is also right, but it is also not right!

They really didn't have a sense of the overall situation, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to defect to the enemy and betray the country and became shameful traitors.

But the problem is that the gentry are also a part of the Ming Dynasty, and their interests and demands must be understood by the imperial court and find a way to solve them.

They have privileges in their hands, and they don't have to pay for grain, so they have to force them to take out grain, and the gentry also want to say that the descendants of your old Zhu family not only don't pay grain, but also eat and drink fat every year, wasting countless money and grain and rice in the court!

The result of simple expropriation and extortion, expropriation and plunder, and punishment without teaching will obviously lead to a strong backlash. This is the main reason for the failure of Zhang Juzheng's reform, he set his goal on the gentry group, and cut off his right hand with his left hand, which was doomed to failure, but the price was too heavy.

The royal family and the gentry, obviously on the issue of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, each have to fight fifty boards, and they are all sinners.

It's just that with Tang Yi's current height, he sees the problem more broadly and thinks more far-reaching, in fact, there is only one real reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the elite group of the Ming Dynasty is conservative, so they are self-contained, and they have not kept up with the development of the times...... The collapse of an ailing and anachronistic empire is inevitable.

Tang Yi has already smelled the breath of decline, Spain's trade sanctions against the Ming Dynasty are not far away, and the originally comfortable maritime trade routes will be full of countless variables.

If you want to solve the dilemma, there is only one way, which is to look overseas, use your own strength to grab gold and silver, to explore the market, and to get rid of the trade model that completely depends on Westerners.

You can't just be a hard-working worker, but you must also master the lanes, control finance, and arm the Ming Dynasty in all directions, so as to be able to adapt to the fierce international competition, otherwise you will have a huge volume, but you can only watch others carve up the family.

Tang Yi handed over the power to issue currency to the Jin merchants, and definitely didn't just want to trap them and avenge them.

It's just that, Ichikoku Zaisuke is too small.

Tang Yi had a deeper plan, he wanted to detonate the crisis in advance, forcing the Ming Dynasty to re-examine the world and completely reverse the trajectory of the empire's development.

If you don't rob others, don't occupy shipping routes, and open up markets, your way of life will be cut off by others.

You live or die, the law of the jungle, it's so cruel, there is no truth to talk about!

Do not do to others what you would not do to yourself, it is simply a deceptive word.

It should be what I want, and it will be done to talents!

Of course, before going all out to the outside world, we need to solve our worries, that is, to remove the threat of my answer, so that we can let go of the south with peace of mind.

This is an astonishingly large game, and it can be said that no one other than Tang Yi can grasp it.

Zhou Qinyun thought that Tang Yi was just going to deal with Jin Shang, so he was so frightened that he ran away.

Tang Yi didn't care either, the bureau was slowly laid out first, and when the water came to fruition, it would naturally be clear.

However, how to deal with me has become the most urgent task.

Tang Yi was about to gather people to discuss it and see how all parties were going, when suddenly Hu Zongxian rushed over, and his old face was full of smug smiles.

As soon as they met, Hu Zongxian slapped the table and laughed: "It's done!" ”

"Brother Merlin, what did you do again?" Tang Yi said curiously.

Hu Zongxian pulled over a Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and stretched out two fingers.

"Okay, soon a group of manuen and herdsmen will flee back to Daming, not much, these." He dangled two fingers.

Tang Yi had mentioned to him before that he wanted to take advantage of the weakness of my answer to attract slaves to submit to the Ming Dynasty, don't look at the fact that slaves can't directly participate in the war, but without their service, the strength that I can use will be greatly reduced.

I didn't expect Hu Zongxian's efficiency to be really high, and he got 20,000 people at once, which is worthy of praise!

"Brother Merlin, let's settle people in Tianjin for the time being, what do you think?"

"Tianjin? Can Tianjin live for 200,000 people? ”

"How much!"

Tang Yi only felt that his ears were broken, right, it was 200,000? How many people are there in the grassland?

Seeing Tang Yi's exaggerated appearance in disbelief, Hu Zongxian smiled proudly: "Okay, my brother has been thinking about it for so long, if he gets 20,000 people back, won't he slap you in the face?" Tell you, 200,000, just a little more! How is it, my brother's sword is not old, right? (To be continued.) )
