Yang Bo made several verbal provocations, and even threatened them, but found that Tang Yi seemed to be fine, drinking tea silently, without saying a word, and not even frowning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's really the prime minister's belly that can support the boat, compared with this young man, he has been spanning for decades, and he is not as deep as others' skills.

Shame on you!

Yang Bo is not so abnormal, it is really a repeated blow, the foundation of Jin Shang is shaky, it has reached the point of life and death, and he is not sure to get through, fortunately, the jar is broken.

But after saying that, I regretted it, if I really annoyed Tang Yi, this kid would have a dead hand, and there would be no way to end it. Yang Bo wanted to make up for it, but suddenly Tang Yi put down the teacup and smiled faintly.

"Yu Pogong, I understand your intentions, resell the industry, fill the hole, the Jin merchants do not hesitate to go bankrupt, keep the reputation of the signboard, it is really good. I will arrange for someone to negotiate with you as soon as possible, but at the moment, the traffic is not sufficient, and I am also facing a run, and I don't know how much I can help. All in all......"

Tang Yi was still about to speak, when someone suddenly ran in.

"Master, Gonggong Feng is here, saying that you are going to Qianqing Palace."

The emperor looked for himself, and Tang Yi hurriedly got up.

"Yu Pogong, don't accompany you, you just have to tell me if you have something."

Tang Yi confessed a few words, hurriedly changed into his official clothes, and hurried to the palace.

Seeing Tang Yi, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Master Tang, you can be regarded as here, I have no way at all!" ”

Tang Yi didn't go around the bend, and asked directly, "Your Majesty can worry about the affairs of the clan?" ”

"Not really." Long Qing was stunned and sighed: "In the past, the children of the clan acted indiscriminately, and the consumption of Lu rice was not counted, and I was also angry, so I asked the master to draw up the "Statute of the Clan", and also expelled the three vassal kings to Luzon. However, after all, they are all members of the Zhu family, and I will inevitably cause gossip if I treat the clan like this. Coincidentally, under the silver crisis, Heshengyuan was unable to fulfill the covenant, and he couldn't get the silver, and many people in the clan were starving. ”

Long Qing's sad eyes were red, Tang Yi glanced at it, and saw that there were shadows in the gauze tent, and someone seemed to be hiding. Maybe it was Da Jue in the palace who spoke to the clan in front of Longqing, which made the emperor so sad.

"Your Majesty, after hearing about this, the minister was also worried, the "Statute of the Clan" was personally ordered by His Majesty to draft, and it has just been promulgated, if it is hastily abolished, it will hurt Your Majesty's sage, and second, it will intensify the panic in the world, making the crisis more and more serious. The minister dared to admonish and postpone the execution of the covenant for one year, and this year's rice will be distributed as usual, and wait until next year to promote the reform of the clan. ”

Those clan disciples were just a tool used by Tang Yi to defeat the Jin merchants, he didn't say that he wanted to let the clan go, and the reforms that should be done were not less, but due to the current situation, they were postponed for the time being.

Long Qing is a soft-eared person, he has been persuaded to abolish the reform of the sect and domain, but he hesitated again when Tang Yi said it.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the most taboo in the imperial court is to change and change. What's more, the imperial court is so difficult, if you put the burden of the clan on your back again, you won't crush the imperial court!

I'm sorry, it's a family, but I have to take care of my own country, you guys, let's go aside!

"Master, the affairs of the sect will be postponed for one year for the time being."

Chrysostom Yuyan made a final decision, and the people behind the curtain were so angry that their eyes were round, and they couldn't wait to rush over and give Longqing a few blows. You're a dignified emperor, are you a little insistent? Tang Yi opened his mouth, and you nodded, is he your father?

Let these people go crazy, but there is no way.

Long Qing was worried, thought for a while, and said: "Master Tang, last time you and I analyzed the root cause of the crisis, and now it is really as Mr. said, the world is in chaos, the southeast industry and commerce are withering, the price of silver and copper is out of control, and the people are miserable. Sir, can the year go back to normal? ”

Longqing is asking for advice, there is such a big mess in the world, in the past, someone would have impeached the cabinet and attacked the auxiliary ministers. At the moment, no one is in the book, casually attacking Tang Yi, firstly, the big guys know that the crisis comes from the outside, and secondly, if Tang Yi doesn't pay attention, others will not be able to come up with countermeasures.

Everyone is waiting for Tang Yi to turn the tide, in other words, if Tang Yi has no countermeasures, the bullet seal that attacks him will not be far away.

"Your Majesty, the crisis is very simple, mainly in two aspects, one is that the Ming Dynasty has too little gold and silver."

"Less?" Long Qing's eyes widened, "How can I hear that many Shanxi people have cellars at home, which are not filled with radish and cabbage, but specially packed with silver, why are they reluctant to take them out?" ”

Looking at Long Qing's angry appearance, Tang Yi suddenly realized that those clans were planning to force the Jin merchants to pay for the money, and they wanted to make a lot of money. For this reason, I don't necessarily say anything in Longqing's ear, but unfortunately, with this pavilion here, don't fight your wishful thinking.

"Your Majesty, scarcity is precious, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to hide the gold house, the beauty is still above the gold and silver, ordinary people often say that the wife of the dregs does not go to the court, it can be seen that the world is still the wife of the dregs far more than the beauties!"

Long Qing couldn't imagine that Tang Yi still had the heart to joke, and he also laughed: "What does the master mean that if the gold and silver become the wives of the chaff, no one will collect them?" ”

"Your Majesty." Tang Yi retracted his smile and said, "The wealth in the world is increasing over time from generation to generation. If there is too much possessions, if the gold and silver in exchange cannot keep up, the silver will be cheap, and the storage of gold and silver will become profitable. Think of me Ming, rich in the world, but lack of gold and silver currency, although there has been a continuous influx of the outside world over the years, but the rapid development of industry and commerce, rich products, in fact, gold and silver is seriously unable to keep up. Therefore, all kinds of silver bills and bank bills are popular, and they are used as silver, after all, they are not real money, and if they encounter a little bit of difference, they will face the danger of disintegration. ”

"What does the master mean, do you still want to start with gold and silver?" Long Qing was very keen to grasp the core of Tang Yi's words.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Xiyi can seize the gold and silver mines, I have no reason why I can't, I can't let others seize the wealth, we just watch the fun."

Looking outward, this is a concept that Tang Yi has repeatedly mentioned, and in the past, everyone just listened to it, and not many people really took it to heart. Chinese scholars have been arrogant for 2,000 years, and it is not easy to get them to change their minds.

It is only when the catastrophe is approaching that everyone will bow their proud heads.

Don't talk about others, at least Longqing completely agreed with Tang Yi's words.

"The master has long said that he wants to pass through the South Seas, and now Spain dares to impose trade sanctions on the Ming Dynasty, which is simply unbearable! As the father of all the people in the world, seeing the suffering of his people, I can't bear it anymore, so it is imperative to send troops to Nanyang and open up trade routes! ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" Tang Yi's voice raised an octave, what he hoped for most was this, using a big crisis to force the scholars of the Ming Dynasty to change their ways, as long as they took the first step, tasted the sweetness, and cultivated a powerful interest group, they would not worry about the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yi forcibly suppressed his excitement, "Your Majesty, the use of troops abroad still needs to be carefully discussed in order to succeed in the first battle." In addition, the minister also has some opinions, and wants to play His Majesty. ”

"Master, please speak." Long Qing said very sincerely.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to the second aspect of the crisis, it is that the people of Daming are still too poor." Tang Yi lamented, although Daming is the richest country in the world, this wealth is not even.

The registered population of the Ming Dynasty is about 60 million, less than 70 million, and this number has hardly changed since the late Yongle period.

The gentry would never go down to the fields themselves, they had a large number of tenant farmers, and these people did not have to pay taxes or bear forced labor.

Coupled with the prosperity of the city, the number of citizens has surged.

According to conservative estimates, the actual population of Daming is more than 120 million.

With so many people in charge, Tang Shoufu is really under a lot of pressure!

Seventy percent of these people were tenant farmers, military households, artisan households, stove households, and yeoman farmers who were male and female weavers. They don't buy almost anything except salt,

Among the remaining personnel, half of them were scholars, and the rest were citizens, as well as clansmen, nobles, and eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace.

So there are less than 20% of those who really have spending power, which is a very fatal number!

"Your Majesty, Confucianism and education, pay attention to diligence and thrift, pay attention to saving more money, spend less money, not extravagant and wasteful, and live within your means. But have the sages of the past generations thought that if everyone produced more things and consumed less according to their ideas, every family would be like this, and who would each family sell the extra things to? ”

Long Qing thought about it for a while, his face turned red, and he only held back two words: "Xiyi!" ”

"That's right, we can only count on Xiyi to consume excess products, but a trade sanction hit us in the foot."

What Tang Yi said is very subversive, are they all good people, all diligent people, and they are still wrong? Will the world get worse and worse?

Don't really raise the bar, Confucius is respected as a saint, but people don't know how to farm, if the world is all Confucius, just wait to starve to death together!

The economy is a fucked thing, there is no loser to squander and waste, there is no market for what is produced, and those who are honest and willing to work will not make money.

Just like in later generations, there is no moldy people who have worked hard to consume ahead of time, where did they come from more than 20 years of prosperity, and when they do not move in consumption, the world economy will stop.

"Master Tang, do you mean that I need a bunch of losers?" Long Qing couldn't believe it, but there was only one way to do it.

"Your Majesty, a loser is not something that can be cultivated for a while, but the court can play the role of a loser."

"What?" Long Qing's eyes widened, "Master Tang, do you want to be like the first emperor, build a large number of buildings, build palaces and palaces?" ”

I'm not an old man, why do you fix those things?

Tang Yi said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, the minister is going to build roads, build cities, and docks!" (To be continued.) )
