The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked again, "If there is any other good design, let's take it out together." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "There is another idea, which has not yet taken shape, and I want the emperor to help improve it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Oh, let's hear it. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The current carriages of Daming are two-wheeled carriages, and in addition to pulling the carriage, the horses also have to bear part of the weight of the carriage, which wastes the strength of the horses. In the case of a four-wheeled carriage, the horse's strength is entirely used to pull the cart, and the load of the cart is greater. But the trouble is that the carriage can't turn at all......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Leave this to me, and see my brother show you a hand." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "This carriage is also related to the middle strategy I said. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "You tell me in detail." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The middle strategy is to improve urban management and let the citizens willingly pay money to the emperor." What the citizens need, they need a convenient city, a clean city. If the emperor's brother had made the four-wheeled carriage clear, he would have been able to establish a complete public transportation system and use transportation to make money. The emperor's brother can set up bus stops all over the capital, and let people drive four-wheeled carriages along fixed routes to carry passengers, and charge at the station, I believe that many people are willing to take this car. In the future, long-distance transportation can also be carried out, such as passenger and freight transportation from South Zhili to North Zhili. ”

Emperor Huo Di of the Apocalypse stood up, paced a few steps, and said, "Great talent, Cheng brother Great talent!" In this way, the whole country will be unimpeded, and the officials will not say that they have accumulated money. Go on. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Beijing is a city of goodness, but the health situation is not optimistic. It is better for the emperor to set up a cleaning team, sprinkle and sweep the streets and alleys of Beijing, and regularly collect sanitation management fees from residents, so that the city of Beijing is cleaned and there is a lot of income. ”

"Anything else?"

Zhu Cheng stopped, thought for a long time, knelt down, and said: "The emperor forgives the ministers for the crime of death, and the ministers dare to say it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "It's all my own family here, let's say it, it's right, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it." If it's not right, it doesn't matter. ”

Zhu Cheng stood up, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "Open the Taimiao to the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen, and Wei Zhongxian exclaimed at the same time.

Zhu Cheng said: "The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are the ancestors of the whole Ming people, and letting the people visit the Taimiao can make the people remember the exploits of the emperor and fight back against some untrue rumors about the Ming royal family in the wild history." ”

It took a long time for Emperor Tianqi to digest Zhu Cheng's words, and said: "This Jian yì is very good, some people may forget now, if it weren't for Emperor Taizu Gao to resist, maybe the people of the Ming Dynasty would have been classified as a fourth-class person and bullied by the Mongol Tartars." But you are the only one who dares to propose such a proposal. ”

Zhu Cheng saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse agreed with his construction, and then said: "I also built a few temples outside the Taimiao, one is the Chinese Martyrs' Temple, to commemorate the heroes who have contributed to the rise of China from ancient times to the present; A martyr's temple for the Ming Dynasty, to commemorate the people who have contributed to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the Ming Dynasty; One is a temple for the Ming warriors, commemorating the soldiers who died on the battlefield since the founding of the Ming Dynasty; The other is a group of ugly temples, where traitors and traitors from ancient times to the present day are cast into bronze statues for people to scold. ”

Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, Brother Cheng, this building is good." In the past, when I listened to "Speaking of Yue", I always wanted to slap Qin Hui a few times, but I didn't have a chance, and after the temple was built, I had to spit out a few more mouthfuls of saliva. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Lord Zhu's mention is good, building a temple and setting an example, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can be educated once they visit the temple, which is better than reading many sage books." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse coughed and asked a little embarrassedly, "I know the significance of opening the Taimiao." However, today Brother Cheng is providing me with a plan to make money, what kind of money can I make by opening the Taimiao? ”

Zhu Cheng said: "If the temple is opened, it will inevitably become one of the famous tourist attractions in Beijing, people who admire the emperor will come to pay respects, people who hope that the emperor will bless will come to pray, and people who want to see the emperor's family temple will come to visit." The Taimiao will become a very lively place, and a commercial street will be opened up at the door, will it attract many people to open a store? Renting a shop alone is a lot of income. In addition, people who want to pay homage to the emperor always have to burn incense, and those who want to spit on traitors always throw eggs, and you should be able to make a lot of money selling these things. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "You, you really turn stones into gold, and you can find opportunities to make money here." Let's talk about your best policy, the previous lower and middle strategies have opened my eyes, and now I would like to hear your best policy. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The best strategy is to mint coins and print money. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's useless, the current treasure money is no different from waste paper." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Actually, treasure money is a good thing, but the indiscriminate printing of treasure money has lost all the credit of the imperial court." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Oh, what's the benefit of treasure money?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Money is very heavy, for example, buy perfume, the price in Beijing is 6 taels of silver, if you only buy a bottle, of course it is not heavy." If you buy 2o bottles, it will cost 12o taels of silver, 7 and a half catties, and it is estimated that many women will not be able to carry it. If it is folded into copper coins, it will be even more terrible, 12o runs, it is estimated that the big man will not be able to move. And printed into treasure banknotes, even if only one or two are printed each, it only takes 12o sheets, and it can be easily taken away. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Since the treasure money is so good, why don't everyone use the treasure money?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I only don't accept treasure banknotes in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more and more treasure banknotes circulating in the market, and the treasure banknotes depreciate rapidly, and in the Zhengde period, the treasure banknotes can no longer run." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Then what should be done?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "First mint coins, then print money." There are too few currencies in the Ming Dynasty, and there is only one kind, which is a penny, which is very inconvenient to trade. We can mint heavy money, such as two, five, and ten, and use silver to cast large amounts of money, such as fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, and consistent, and use gold to make larger money, such as ten yuan, one hundred yuan. This makes it easier for people to settle out. Then paper money was introduced, and it was stipulated that taxes would be levied, and only paper money would be collected, and cash and money would not be collected. Provincial capitals or capitals have set up banknotes and money exchange offices, and paper money and money of equal amounts can be exchanged for huàn at any time. The amount of banknotes printed is equal to the amount of money produced in the inner treasury. As long as it persists, paper money will inevitably replace money. ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "In this way, the emperor will have twice the amount of silver." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled bitterly: "But I don't have any money in my inner treasury, not even a book, and this is still zero for this two." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "I'll lend it to you, Brother Cheng and I have 4oo taels of silver, and I'll lend it all to the emperor's brother." ”

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's sincerity, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Since this is the case, I will be cheeky to borrow 4oo taels from my two younger brothers and return it in a year." Brother Cheng, these three strategies of yours are very useful, and they can help me get out of poverty. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "There is a fourth strategy for slaves. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "Oh, you also have a plan, let's talk about it." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's just that the three strategies are used at the same time." ”

The crowd laughed.

Back in the children's paradise, Wei Honglian took Zhu Cheng's hand, wiped her tears for a while, and then poured him a big bowl of soup as usual.

Wei Honglian said: "Just now, two groups of people came to post it. One group of people is his own family, and my father invites you to go to his house for dinner at noon tomorrow, and the other group is Ke Qingqing's aunt, who invites you to their house for dinner. ”

Zhu Cheng secretly said in his heart, I have already met Wei Zhongxian today, why did you specially invite me to his house for dinner, is there something difficult to decide?
