Although Shen Shiming was born in the Shen family in Songjiang, he is only a foreign child, although he has not been blinded since he was a child, but the life of the descendants of the Shen family is incomparable.

Of course, it is said that it is hard, but compared with the real people at the bottom at that time, Shen Shiming is happy, at least he can eat enough, he can dress warmly, and he can read and study literature.

People are like this, if you are really poor, you can't even eat, most of them must not have any lofty ambitions, being able to eat may be their greatest thirst, and it is precisely because the requirements are too low, and most of them have no culture and no knowledge, so most of them seem to be more numb, people are more lazy, this is not their nature, it is purely the environment and life, so that they lack the motivation to change.

However, if a person has read books, broadened their knowledge, and can ensure basic food and clothing, then their desire to change and desire to go to the next level will become stronger, there is no doubt that Shen Shiming is such an ambitious person.

As a child of the Shen family, Shen Shiming's life is incomparable to that of his descendants, but he can get close to them and let Shen Shiming know the gap between them, which makes him know what he wants worse than other peers when he is very young, and he also learns how to use various conditions to get these opportunities.

The so-called taking advantage of opportunities is nothing more than observing words and feelings, and it is nothing more than clinging to power from a young age. Shen Shiming knew that he had to mix with the hardest child in the family and the most powerful father, not with the strongest child.

However, there were many people who followed the mix back then, and they wanted to stand out. If you want people to remember, you have to be distinctive, just being a dog like a pug has no future, you have to learn to be reserved, you have to appear knowledgeable, only such subordinates. The master will look at you differently.

Of course, these skills were not something that the young Shen Shiming could understand, but Shen Shiming's grandfather, who had been a lawyer, taught him, and then Shen Shiming used them flexibly in practice, and sure enough, he found that this was exactly the case.

Since then. Shen Shiming really didn't blindly listen to others, but studied hard, and then he usually looked very arrogant, only in front of the people he chose, he was a little polite, in this way, he really suppressed others, not only was he valued by the young master of the Shen family. Everyone became good friends, and he was also valued by the old man of the Shen family, and spent a lot of energy focusing on training.

It is precisely because of the good relationship with the Shen family. With the cultivation of the Shen family, Shen Shiming was able to grow up peacefully, and gradually lived a decent life, and later because of the relationship between the Shen family, he was able to meet Li Yongji and quickly rise to prominence. finally changed from a small substitute shopkeeper to now three or two people. The prime minister above 10,000 people has a lot of power. It is not far from the previous Minister of Military Aircraft.

However, cultured people have pursuits, and the same is true for Shen Shiming. Although he never had the luxury of replacing Li Yongji as the emperor, and he didn't dare to think so, he was not satisfied with being under several people, but hoped to become the kind of powerful minister under one person.

In addition, after all, he once had a reputation for showing off his talents in the previous dynasty, and he was barely a scholar, so like a scholar, in addition to the great desire of cultivating himself and leveling the world, leaving a name in history is also his supreme pursuit, and to do this, he must make some achievements that can be remembered by future generations.

However, although the empire is thriving in all aspects, the world knows that this is the meaning of the emperor's majesty, not his meaning, and he is regarded as a steward at most. Besides, the emperor has done all the good things, but the government has been in deficit year after year, and the deficit has been rising year by year, which makes Shen Shiming, who has limited knowledge, very afraid, he is afraid that if the government can't pay back the money in the end, the emperor will make him angry with the people, and then it will really be over.

Shen Shiming, who is familiar with history, does not doubt the occurrence of this kind of thing at all, not to mention anything else, He Shen of the previous dynasty and Hu Weiyong of the Ming Dynasty are the best examples, Shen Shiming doesn't want to be that unlucky fat sheep.

This is the problem of the limitations of the times, although Shen Shiming was born in a businessman and has a very good set of business, but the ones he will do are relatively simple economic concepts, that is, income is greater than expenditure is a good financial cycle, if long-term expenditure is greater than income, and finally insolvent, sooner or later it will be unlucky.

It cannot be said that his idea is wrong, but it is a pity that these things of his are applicable to non-governmental business, but not to the finances of a country, or to the financial outlook of a modern country.

Although it is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the West also says that governing a country is the same as running a business, in fact, because of the different natures, especially running a large country and running a small country, there is still a big difference.

To put it simply, between a large country and a small country, it is like the sea and a small pond, the small size of a small country should naturally be small and delicate, and the fiscal deficit should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it will be easy to go bankrupt and eventually lead to the collapse of the government.

The big countries are different, they are larger and have a stronger ability to resist risks, so an appropriate deficit is beneficial.

Especially in the period of rapid development of the country, it is all the more necessary to appropriately maintain a certain deficit, engage in government procurement on a large scale, and use this method to promote the rapid development of all walks of life, and then slowly smooth out the deficit when the economy becomes stronger and bigger, and the tax revenue is also high.

In today's era, although most other countries implement precious metal currencies and implement the gold standard or silver standard, the fundamental reason for that situation is that the country's credit is not high, and communication technology has not kept up.

However, although the Chinese Empire was established for a short time, because Li Yongji had been violently opening up, the people's confidence in the government, especially in the emperor, was very sufficient.

During this period, Li Yongji resold modern materials and free trade, exported a large number of high value-added materials, exchanged a large amount of gold, silver, copper and other metal currencies from abroad, and even opened the door to turn Korea and Japan into de facto colonies, and plundered a lot of resources from the local area, coupled with the fact that the empire continued to plunder the resources of its own autonomous provinces, which led the imperial family to control a large amount of funds. This also makes it possible to issue additional currency.

Today's Chinese empire is generally in a period of peace, and it has just recovered from turmoil, and it is in a period of economic recovery. Coupled with the application of new technologies, coupled with the stimulation of large-scale infrastructure. The gross national product (GDP) is showing an explosive growth.

This kind of drastic growth in productivity has also greatly increased the demand for money in the market, so there is no problem in issuing additional money at this time, but it will promote economic development, otherwise. A lack of money supply slows down the growth of this economy.

In fact, it stands to reason that Li Yongji has bought so many precious metal currencies from abroad, even if he does not issue additional banknotes, there is no problem. It can also supply the economic needs of the market, but the problem is that he wants to take this opportunity to build up the credit of the empire's paper money, so he stipulates that when issuing money, one-third of the metal money must be issued, and two-thirds of the paper money must be issued, and the government and the army pay salaries, all of which use paper money.

But in fact, it is Li Yongji's private small treasury that has money. That is, he has full control over the CITIC Bank and other industries, simply talking about the government, or the State Council. There is not much metal currency in hand, and income is simply not enough to match expenditure.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Shiming became more and more panicked, afraid that it would be difficult to end in the future, so he always tried his best to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and finally found that he could not reduce expenditure. Just try to open it up, even if you offend the powerful, you don't hesitate to do it.

Shen Shiming figured it out. Rather than continue like this, sit back and wait for the finances to go bankrupt. Let him become the scapegoat who is destined to be clicked, it is better to take advantage of the current period when the power is in hand and the saints are in power, and the rich and powerful who have made a fortune by speculation can be clicked, so that they can not only gain the emperor's trust, but also make up for the finances.

According to Shen Shiming's thoughts, although Li Yongji is not very old now and still has some attachment to his family, since he is the emperor and holds the highest power, he will become a loner sooner or later, which has been clearly written in all dynasties.

Li Yongji himself may not feel it, but Shen Shiming has already made up n more threats in his brain, for example, Li Yongji's brother Li Yongchang, and Li Yongji's father, that is, the illegitimate son of the emperor and his old man, etc., these royal relatives who are very close to Li Yongji are actually a threat to the throne.

You must know that although Li Yongji is young, it is said that he will be in power for a long time in the future, and he still has a son, so he doesn't have to worry too much about inheritance.

However, Li Yongji's personality and style are uneasy things, not to mention anything else, let's just say that Li Yongji went incognito to North America to lead troops to fight, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign dynasties, can do him like this, there is really no one, at most there are similar, but not as outrageous as him, the emperor has not been in office for a long time, and his ass has not yet sat firmly, so he ran abroad, and he stayed for two or three years.

Although Li Yongji also returned to China several times during this period and appeared in public, to be honest, every time he came back, he didn't stay for a long time, at most a month, and he would take his fast yacht back to North America again, and it seemed that leading troops to fight in North America was more comfortable than being an emperor.

Outsiders don't know these things, but Li Yongji's wife, as well as his parents and brothers and other immediate family members are still clear, this month and two months are fine, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not think about it.

For example, the righteous king Li Yongchang, although he is no longer in charge of state affairs, Shen Shiming still regards him as a great enemy, thinking that he is the most likely to seize the imperial power at present, so he not only guards against him in all aspects, but even constantly tells Li Yongji this threat.

But it's a pity that Li Yongji has never cared much about these adverse advices, because in Li Yongji's opinion, he controls the army, as well as the golden finger, and is the founding emperor, and his prestige is incomparable...... Death is dead, and then worry about the afterlife, which must be there?

This is his modern otaku thinking, just to worry about when he is alive, regardless of what happens after death, and because of the golden finger, he just wants to live happily, to control his own destiny, and he doesn't want to be bound by power and money.

In other words, at this time, Li Yongji, although he is still pursuing power and money, in his opinion, whether it is power or money, they are all things to serve him, and he himself will not trap himself for these things and stay in the palace all day long.

Yes, in his opinion, taking it in the palace is a house in disguise, he has lived too many days before, and he doesn't want to continue to live in the house.

However, Shen Shiming didn't understand Li Yongji's self-confidence and ease, he only thought that Li Yongji was young, immature enough, and too smooth, so he was blind and arrogant.

At this time, Shen Shiming had already regarded Li Yongji as the master of his life, and he wanted to swear allegiance to the emperor and repay his kindness.

It is precisely because of this mentality, coupled with the fact that I don't want to end up in the future, and I was made a scapegoat by the emperor...... In fact, he was clicked by the emperor and he didn't have any psychological burden, did he have to die if he wanted his ministers to die, he just didn't want to die with a stain, on the contrary, he hoped to make a peace between monarchs and ministers that has been passed down through the ages, so that future generations will know that this period is the real era of Ming monarchs and famous ministers, there is no doubt that Li Yongji is Ming Jun, he is a famous minister.

With such a complicated mind, Shen Shiming was not only heartbroken for state affairs, but also for the emperor's family affairs, and automatically regarded the righteous king Li Yongchang and the children born to the emperor Li Zhengxiang and other women as enemies.

It can be said that cracking down on the imperial property, especially those industries that are not owned by Li Yongji personally, but are managed by the emperor's relatives and relatives, is a thorn in Shen Shiming's side, because in his opinion, these industries are not only not the emperor's blessing, but also his disaster!

Because these industries do not pay taxes to the state and do not belong to Li Yongji's personal ownership, they will only expand the group of imperial relatives and relatives, and for the time being, they will not have anything because of their relatives, but after a long time, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and it is inevitable that they will not covet the throne and want to seize higher power.

In other words, even if the emperor reigns temporarily, they don't dare, what if the emperor is gone? Can the little prince stop these fierce tigers and hungry wolves?

It is no secret that the queen is an orphan, so it is impossible for the queen's family to have any relatives, which makes the queen's son, the current prince of the empire, congenitally insufficient. It was okay when the emperor was there, but what about the emperor's absence?

In short, Shen Shiming thought too much, in the past, it was because the emperor didn't care, so he had no excuse and no ability to exert his strength, but now it was different, he found that the central officials he sent out were actually killed by several civilians and hung on bamboo poles to show the public, that is, he was provoking the empire.

That's right, no matter how good Wang Tianer is, no matter how rich he is, no matter how deep his background is, he is also a commoner, not even a nobleman!

This is a breakthrough, Shen Shiming immediately understood that he could use this guy to really leverage Wang Tianer's backstage, that is, the interests of Wang Tianzhong and the other Wang clan!

For this reason, he did not call Li Yongji to report the situation as soon as possible, but went to the palace as soon as possible to discuss with Yin Susu in person to facilitate the implementation of his whimsical plan.

After the meeting, Shen Shiming told Yin Susu bit by bit about his concerns and his current form, which made Yin Susu, who had no opinion and just wanted to live a peaceful life, panic.

Indeed, in the past, Yin Susu could not care about anything, not fight for anything, but now she is a mother, he has his own children, as the prime minister said, she does not fight, she must always think about the child.

It was in consideration of his own children and his future that Yin Susu finally agreed to Shen Shiming's plan to play on the topic, mobilized the forces of the Internal Affairs Office, cooperated with Shen Shiming's State Council, and used this incident as a breakthrough to officially start a war against the imperial party without notifying the emperor!
