After this Suzhou celebrity left, Zheng Guofan and Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru got up in the morning, and the three of them went to Jianlu, read books and poems, talked about the government, from astronomy and geography to agriculture and mulberry goods, all the topics of the three were included, and when they returned to Zheng's mansion at night, they might have to talk at night.

Zheng Guofan is still continuing to write books, and the two of them are going to join the discussion, if it is not good to write like this, then it is a little inappropriate to write. The two of them are a moment of brightness, the top literati of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Guofan was pointed out by the two, in fact, he is quite beneficial, and he is getting more and more old and spicy in terms of pen and sentences.

Look at his pen like a god, and the things he writes are also thought-provoking, for example, why Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty said [Annihilation of money is said to be complicated, and Zheng Qian is said to be dead], even if he is an old man in the court, I am afraid that he may not be able to say the Tao, but Zheng Guofan is only thirteen years old, and he tells it eloquently, and there is clearly a university question in it.

The more he wrote, the deeper the two of them understood, why did the treasure notes issued by the imperial court become less and less valuable? As a result, no one used it in the end, this is why the imperial court does not understand the rules of [annihilating money and saying that it is complicated, and it is dying of money], why the ancient empire is huge and bloated, why bureaucrats are rampant, officials are corrupt, corruption is prevalent, and those who are good are regarded as outliers, either in the same stream, or they are excluded from power.

For example, the so-called "beautiful women often accompany Han Mian", which also follows [Annihilation of Qian is said to be complicated, and Zheng Qian is said to be dead], the good official gave an analogy to the two, Annihilating Qian Chen Jiru, and Zheng Qian Dong Qichang, of course, when playing this analogy, the obedient official received countless white eyes from Chen Jiru, thinking that he intended to retaliate.

Because the money Dong Qichang is full of gold, one or two silver can be exchanged for 1,200 copper coins, and Chen Jiru is like a treasure banknote, although there is a Ming Dynasty household department, the words [one through] are as big as a bull's eye, but in fact can only be exchanged for 300 copper coins.

At this time, there is a female Cao Mandarin Duck, well! When it came to Cao Yuanyang, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru both rolled their eyes, logically speaking, everyone should choose Qian Dong Qichang, but in fact! Because Zhengqian Dong Qichang is in good condition and is widely circulated in the market, he actually has countless choices, which may not necessarily circulate to Cao Yuanyang.

And Chen Jiru, because it is only worth 300 copper coins, has no advantage compared with Dong Qichang, and Zheng Qian is likely to fight to the death at this time, and Cao Yuanyang faces two choices, one, Zheng Qian Dong Qichang, however, Zheng Qian is very popular, and she is likely to not be able to make 1,200 copper coins in the end. And what about Chen Jiru! Under the rhetoric, it will make Cao Yuanyang feel that many birds are not as good as one bird in the forest, although three hundred copper coins are much less than one thousand two hundred copper coins, but they can be held tightly in their hands, which is more realistic, while one thousand two hundred copper coins can only be seen.

As a result, the annihilation money won the positive money, and the obedient official proudly said to the two black-faced celebrities: "How, understand!" This is called, a good man has no good wife, and Lai Han marries a flower branch. ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Jiru pounced, stretched out his hand to choke his neck, and shouted: "Who is Lai Han?" Who is Raihan? ”

"I'm just talking about the rules of the world." The obedient official pulled his neck and blushed, "Bad money drives out good money, and Qingpi beats celebrities." ”

"Chen Xianggong." Xiaoqian next to her was timid, but she still mustered up the courage to shout to Chen Jiru: "My young master is young, don't bully people." ”

Chen Jiru let go of his hands in a daze, looking at Zheng Guofan who was holding his neck with both hands, but he was unwilling, and couldn't help but add, "If you want to talk about fame now, if you have a life that is only as famous as Zheng Fengzhang when you first saw it, in this way, won't you be able to get a wife in the future!" ”

This guy's mouth is too poisonous, causing most of the time Dong Qichang, who is the oldest, to have to take the initiative to play round and mud, "Zhong Alcohol, you are reading the Three Kingdoms and shedding tears, what kind of heart." Feng Zhang has a cousin who is a childhood sweetheart, how can he not find a wife! ”

The obedient official is accustomed to the two of them these days, and he can't help but say unashamedly: "Two elder brothers, it's not me who brags, no man in the world can marry a wife, and it won't be my turn to marry, like a younger brother, he looks as handsome as the King of Lanling, and speaks as gently as Elder Tang......"

Chen Jiru opened his mouth to vomit, then snorted and said, "Fengzhang, don't be narcissistic, don't you think Miss Cao looked at you more resentful two days ago?" People think that you, Zheng Fengzhang, such a golden golden beetle son-in-law, have not yet grown hair, how can people be embarrassed! ”

Belch! The obedient official was suddenly dumb by what he said, his face was flushed, and the feeling of being caught with sore feet was really embarrassing! But...... , there's really no way around this, if you don't have that ability, you don't have that ability.

When Xiaoqian next to her heard this, she blushed with shame, and secretly snorted twice, saying that this Chen Xianggong is not ashamed, and he is so dignified, he has to arrange Sister Cao.

Dong Qichang watched the two of them bickering again, and couldn't help but insert himself between the two, "Take a sip of tea, rest your mouth, Miss Xiaoqian, please make us some tea." ”

The two sat down stupidly, Xiaoqian went to make tea, took some snacks, and put them on the stone table, Dong Qichang took a sip of the cup, took a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth, padded his stomach, and then asked the good official, "Is there no way to solve this bad money to drive out good money?" ”

The good official also ate two pieces of dim sum, and spoke vaguely with dim sum stuffed in his mouth, next to Xiaoqian handed him a cup of tea, he drank it in one gulp, swallowed the dim sum, and then said: "Why, naturally, little brother, I watch the sky at night, pinch my fingers and count ......"

Seeing that he is used to talking nonsense, Dong Qichang is helpless, sometimes, he really has to Chen Jiru's poisonous tongue to stimulate him, the obedient official looked at Dong Qichang's face, hehe smiled, and said: "I'm joking, I read some books, and I have to be guided by the teacher Shen Dunyu...... He pulled out Shen Bang, the county commander of Daxing County, to make a big banner, "I found that from ancient times to the present, history is a history of bad money driving out good money, and money and goods continue to depreciate, such as the three major coins of the former Song Dynasty, when the top ten coins, such as the treasure money of the national dynasty...... When the depreciation is so bad that it can no longer be depreciated, there will be a boom and a change of dynasty. ”

"For example, this money village in Ningbo, there are two big ones at the door, and they are helpless." Good officials take Ningbo money village as an example, money village this thing, the middle of the Ming Dynasty there is, Wanli five years, the court directly ordered the establishment of money village, opened by the local rich households, such as the Yan family, there is a money village, the main thing is to buy silver to buy the copper money minted by the imperial court, and the people use the rice and other products in their hands to exchange copper money to use, in order to show their wealth, the general money village in order to show their wealth, they like to use silver to cast a big round ball, this thing to two strong men can not move away, so it is called helpless, to the door of the money bank, It means that my family here is rich, don't be afraid, just come to me to exchange copper coins.

"If silver is not in circulation, can it be called silver? In my opinion, it's all about decoration, but is it useful or not? The obedient official took a breath and took another sip of tea, "Useful, invisibly, everyone thinks that this money village has a thick foundation, which is called intangible assets." ”

"The most intangible assets are the imperial court, the imperial court has the strength, even if he sends a hundred pieces of treasure money, the holy decree proclaims to the world, this piece of paper is equal to one hundred taels of silver, one hundred thousand copper coins, the people will still use, once the imperial court has no strength, the household department takes a piece of paper and prints a ten copper coin, and the people do not recognize it, and now, the imperial court is only a few million yuan a year, to say a bad sound, I am afraid that the rich maritime merchants in Ningbo can make up millions of taels, the great court, not enough to Ningbo rich people have money, Changed the two elder brothers, are you willing to spend such treasure money printed by the imperial court? That's why the treasure money is dying. ”

This kind of capital operation in the Ming Dynasty is not many people can understand at all, although it is a bit rebellious, but Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru are deafening and thought-provoking, watching the obedient official drink the tea in the cup in one gulp, Chen Jiru hurriedly poured him another cup, "Brother Xian, go on." ”

It's rare to be flattered by this guy, the good official smiled, took the cup, took the tea, and ate two pieces of dim sum slowly, seeing that Chen Jiru's face was getting darker and darker, he swallowed the dim sum, took a sip of tea and said: "Therefore, there must be a strong imperial court to supervise these merchants. ”

Chen Jiru's face darkened, he said that not being an official does not mean that he does not want to be an official, almost every literati has the desire to govern the world, the so-called achiever helps the world, but Zheng Guofan went around and around, and returned to heavy taxes, this thing is unrealistic! Who doesn't know that the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are the most angry and the most scumbag, not to mention that there are officials behind the businessmen, officials, businessmen, officials and businessmen, how to pry, if you don't get it right, you can't plant yourself in it, and your flesh and blood can't be saved.

Dong Qichang sighed beside him, his fingers flicked on the stone table, and he muttered: "Perhaps, if it is not broken, it will not stand, but the merchants of the world can really control it?" ”

These two people are not from a big family, Dong Qichang was born poor, Chen Ji's Confucian foundation is better, but it is only slightly better than the Yin Shi family, if the two of them are born in a family like Yan Dazhang, maybe they will not be able to accept the theory of being a good official.

Today's Ming Dynasty seems to be cooking oil with flowers, but a very small number of people of insight, such as Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang, are also worried about the strength of the world, although the sage said that the wealth is hidden in the people, but the court is inevitably too poor, especially the people in the south of the Yangtze River, have a deep experience, look at those luxury people, a meal [often hundreds of gold], and the other side! Countless Xiucai were called poor and sour, and they didn't know the taste of meat, which led to the cold pork that the Xiucai snatched after the sacrifice to the saints, and was ridiculed by the neighbors.

These ridiculed talents became officials later, and naturally they all tried to make money, who still remembers the ambitions of their youth, even if they are a little ashamed, they are estimated to have dissipated in the ridicule.

Mud horses, others can be greedy, why can't I be greedy?

It just so happens that the official of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the lowest in the past dynasties, not corrupt, drink the northwest wind!

And in the Ming Dynasty of this era, countless officials and celebrities with merchant backgrounds advocated that [business is also good karma, not a cheap stream], and the scholars studied hard, and finally got admitted to the civil service, and found that the salary was not enough to support their families, and then looked left and right, and found that the obscene fat man next door who originally looked down on opened a shop selling baked cakes was actually richer than being an official, and he also married a wife and built a big house. I had to explode foul language, the mud horse, I ...... Can't even afford to support an old lady?

This...... This is called how embarrassing the reading of the ten-year cold window is, and the pay is not proportional to the get, in this case, it is strange that the world view of these readers is not distorted.

Therefore, a very small number of people believe that this is ...... A sign of the destruction of the country!
