Therefore, Yang Guoshi finally prescribed three tricks to Zhu Yuanzhang to prevent devaluation.

First, dollarization.

With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, forcing the younger brothers to take over the treasure banknotes, at least partly this can definitely be done.

After all, at this time, the surrounding circle was trembling under Zhu Yuanzhang's knife.

And more importantly, these small countries are short of currency, and North Korea has been printing money since last year, which is their money.

Vietnam is currently the last years of the Tran Dynasty, in fact, the powerful minister Hu Ji Yak has the final say, he also quickly engaged in paper money in the original history, called Tonghui treasure banknotes.

During this period, there was a shortage of copper, and even from the Song Dynasty, there was a shortage of copper, so the Song Dynasty minted iron money, and now with the use of firearms, copper is even more lacking, in this case, paper money has become the best choice, and compared to copper money, paper money is obviously more suitable for looting, after all, the printing press has everything as soon as it is turned on, since this is the case, let Zhu Yuanzhang force these subordinates to use Daming treasure banknotes by force.

But this needs to be accompanied by the opening up of foreign trade.

So in essence, it is to let Zhu Yuanzhang open up foreign trade.

After all, if he wants people to use treasure money, he has to give people the source of treasure money, so that they can sell goods to Daming, so that they can enter the market of others, and people can have treasure money flowers, but let people sell things to Daming, they have to let people buy things from Daming, and finally trade is opened, and as long as Daming forces them to use treasure money trading, even if it is to be this second-way dealer, they will do their best to sell Daming the goods that Daming can receive......

Even if you go to Luzon and pull a boatload of rice.

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, the important thing is to be able to exchange treasure money for treasure money in Daming, and then use treasure money to buy what they really want.

That's what makes you rich.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang can set them the ones that need to be entered.

Grain, sulfur, spices, and even cotton, as for where they got it from, this has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.

But they can only import what His Majesty the Emperor wants, and then buy silk, porcelain, and the like to make a fortune, so that they can scavenge the domestic supply of the Ming Dynasty by themselves, and believe in the discipline of the monarchs and merchants of these countries, they will not mind causing famine in their own country in order to make a fortune as second-class dealers.

Second, open a bank.

This is relatively difficult.

But it is easier to combine it with the third, which is the reserve system.

As long as the deposit is absorbed, free conversion is allowed.

And this kind of exchange agency is not an invention, the Song Dynasty already existed, and the Song Dynasty's Jiaozi actually had a deposit.

This is a true metal standard currency.

It's just that my Great Song Dynasty has made too fast progress, and has just come up with a metal standard currency, and it was very regular at the beginning, 360,000 guan iron coins, and only 1.2 million kanko were printed, but it didn't take long for them to be able to intelligently find that the steps could be taken bigger, why should they maintain such a high reserve ratio?

Then I started to learn to be skinheaded.

One thousand years in one step!

I have to say that my officials in the Great Song Dynasty are really smart.

What Zhu Yuanzhang needs now is to re-take the metal standard, and take the freely convertible gold standard seriously, or the gold and silver double standard, and this is also proven by history, the most stable monetary system, the only problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang does not have much gold and silver now. But fortunately, his knife is also the most ruthless, so it is completely possible to make this symbolic, that is, he decrees that he can be freely exchanged, and make a few examples of exchange, and even maintain the exchange of small amounts.

But......

Dare to exchange large amounts and make excuses to kill directly!

Anyway, he's been doing this to those big families all these years, and he doesn't mind copying a few more.

But......

"I have to go out and grab it."

Yang Feng said earnestly like Master Tang.

His Majesty the Emperor is thoughtful......

"If you can suppress it, it doesn't mean that your children and grandchildren can suppress it, this system was originally played by those countries in the history of Tessie, the first one was called England, and they relied on this system to maintain hegemony for more than two hundred years. They have only one trick to maintain this system, they go out and rob non-stop, where there are gold mines, all of them are in their hands, and those countries that have gold and silver go to beat down and force them to hand it over, and even simply kill all the people and rob themselves.

Let's take the example of the Manchu Qing who destroyed your Ming Dynasty.

The first time, the British defeated them, their capital was in Beiping, relying on the canal to transport grain, the British drove the warship to Zhenjiang, occupied Zhenjiang and blocked the transportation.

Then he forced them to pay compensation, and he paid more than 20 million taels at once.

After more than ten years, they partnered with another to fight directly from the Bohai Sea, and after landing, they entered Beiping to drive the Manchu Emperor away, robbed the treasure garden and set it on fire.

Then he forced the Manchu Qing Dynasty to pay 8 million taels to the family before leaving.

After another few decades, they fought with several other Taixi powers, and occupied Beiping, and in the end, do you know how much they forced the Manchus to pay?

450,000,000 taels.

It has to be given not at once, it is given in decades, and it is not possible to give it in advance, but the interest is calculated during this period, and the actual final plus interest will pay 90,000 taels.

Gotta grab it.

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer!

The country has no windfall and no wealth! ”

Yang Feng said.

"Isn't that like a robber?"

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously said with hypocrisy even felt himself.

"Your Majesty, those who steal hooks are thieves, those who steal the country are marquis, those who block the road and beat the sticks are robbers, and it is the Holy Lord who opens up the territory."

"I'm going to be gentle after all......"

"Huairou? Do you believe this? Is your Daming country by Huairou? Did you rely on Huairou to move Chen Youliang to commit suicide, and then give up the territory to you? Did you rely on Huairou to make Emperor Hu Yuan feel sorry for us and give up the Central Plains yourself? Are you relying on Huairou to let Li Chenggui be your dog? You obviously rely on a knife, why do you want to pull Huairou? You killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword in the box was still bloody, so you won this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, what do you say now? ”

"Uh, you're talking more and more nonsense."

"Your Majesty, what I have taught you is what our most powerful country at that time did, this country was originally a group of outcasts, because they couldn't get along in their hometown, just like your lowly nationality at this time, and finally chose to cross the ocean to the Americas. When they went, because they had no food, they relied on the help of the local natives to settle in that place, and then they began to kill the natives, because they had firearms, and the natives could not beat them, so they killed them so that they could only abandon their homes and flee.

In the end, the good land became theirs.

Then they continued to kill the natives, continued to rob the natives' good land, and continued to kill like this, and it took more than two hundred years to kill the natives to the point of extinction.

Even in order to kill the natives, there is also a public reward, and the scalp of a natives can be exchanged for money, and the old, weak, women and children can do it.

In the end, they monopolized the original land of the Turen, and became the strongest country at that time, the land was more vast than the Ming Dynasty, most of which were plains suitable for cultivation, or the most fertile black soil, and the land was fertile and oily.

Tens of thousands of tons of grain are produced every year.

We had a ton at that time, which was about 1,600 pounds at this time.

You see, that's what makes a winner. ”

Yang Feng said.

Of course, he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was pretending.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor has been an emperor for almost thirty years, and it is no longer the time to fight and kill in the past.

At this time, he had already changed into a crown, put on the posture of the Holy Lord Mingjun, and sat on the main hall to maintain his majesty, and it was not easy to open his mouth and close his mouth to grab it.

Hypocrisy!

Cheap!

"On that map, you will mark all the good places where gold and silver can be produced, so that you need them in case of emergency!"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a clear mark, in fact, the Japanese country has it, they have a gold-producing island on the sea, and there is a silver mountain along the coast, but now even they may not know, after all, these things are underground, and they have to be dug up and refined. As long as you can take these two places, you can ensure that your Ming Dynasty will not be short of gold and silver for fifty years, and the other is the Americas I said before, if you can take the silver mines there, your Ming Dynasty will not be scarce for at least two hundred years in the future.

But that is too far, it requires long-term preparation, and it takes a long time to travel across the ocean. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Wa Guo, Wa Wang Huailiang has always been rude."

"Your Majesty, Huailiang died early, he died more than ten years ago, retired twenty years ago, and later paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Huailiang is just a local daimyo on Kyushu Island, in order to be able to trade with the Ming Dynasty, he lied that he was the messenger of Huailiang, and the real boss of the Wa Kingdom is now their shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

"Yoshimitsu Minamoto?"

"Yes."

"His envoy has come to the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers of the court think that Huailiang is the king of the Japanese, and he should not pay tribute alone as a general of Zhengyi, so he ignored it."

"Their serious monarch is the emperor, but no one cares about it like Zhou Tianzi.

The place is divided by the princes, that is, those big names, and the strongest big name is the general of Zhengyi, who is the boss of real power.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has indeed been thinking about trading with the Ming Dynasty.

Then you simply send someone to canonize him as the king of the Wa, he actually likes this title, and then your heir named him like this, he is also quite satisfied, and then we will also allow him to trade, so that the route will be understood first, and the sailors of this route to the Wa Kingdom will be raised, and you will find a reason, for example, he concealed the emperor, it was a bully, and then crusade against him, we don't have to occupy all his territory, and occupy the gold and silver mines, and that's it.

They were actually very poor in that place, and they didn't have much land to spare, otherwise they would all be so small.

It's just a lack of food, and the generations of hungry people are starving, and we were all hungry to breed at that time, and they were all able to eat meat by being dogs in that strongest country, and they were also bred by that strong country, but they were all about the same as us.

There's no need to waste too much effort in this kind of place. ”

Yang Feng said.
