After Gu Xiancheng finished saying this, he sat on the chair with a pale expression, his eyes were empty, and he didn't seem to want to believe that this was true for a while, so he asked Gu Yuncheng: "Is this true?" ”

Gu Yuncheng nodded and said, "It should be true." ”

"At least our house slaves won't hide it from us!"

"In addition, there is also a letter from the family saying that the Shen family, who is close to us in Dinghai, has been buying back the land on a large scale, I think the Shen family must have known some news in advance, after all, they have always had close contacts with the merchants on the side of the Wa Kingdom."

Gu Xiancheng's expression was even more depressed: "It seems to be true, we lost, and we lost very badly!" ”

Gu Xiancheng's hands trembled as he spoke, and he wanted to stand up, but he suddenly felt that his legs were weak.

Gu Yuncheng hurriedly helped him up: "Brother! ”

"I'm fine, I just feel sorry for my ancestors!"

"Yes, after all, we have sold so many ancestral properties cheaply this time, and we are not filial!"

"It's hateful that the Shen family didn't notify us in advance."

"Naturally, he wants to lose less."

"Don't blame them yet, hurry up and inform your family, don't sell the things in it!"

Gu Xiancheng said.

"Okay, then do you want to notify the Ye family and the An family who are married to us?"

Gu Yuncheng asked.

Gu Xiancheng looked at him: "Inform them of what to do, don't take advantage of this time when there are not many Haoyou to react, when we entrust more overseas Chinese businessmen who are good with us to collect their antiques and jade, and reduce some losses, do you want more people to rush to sell the silver dollar at this time, so that the silver dollar will fall even more ruthlessly, so that you and I will have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future!" ”

Gu Yuncheng said yes.

"Fell again?"

"Are there so many fools, knowing that silver is expensive, and still spending silver dollars?"

Lu Yinchang, a member of the Anthology Division, muttered to himself in extreme disappointment when he saw the price of the silver dollars exchanged for grain published in the "Di Bao", and then he suddenly saw another news published in the "Di Bao", the news that Ma Gui had copied nearly 20 million taels of silver in the Japanese Kingdom.

Lu Yinchang's eyes widened immediately.

"How so?!"

"Pity my beautiful maid Ruiya, I sold it to a husband, and now I'm afraid it's no longer a virgin!"

Lu Yinchang suddenly raised his head to the sky and yelled a few times, and then fainted directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Yinchang's servant helped him up, and then accidentally caught a glimpse of the contents of the "Di Bao", so he rolled up a bunch of antique jade that had not had time to sell at the orders of the lord's family and left the country that night.

Yushi Wang Zhixiang saw the news directly through the Tang newspaper, and he lost his soul on the spot, and threw the bullet medal that was ready to be handed over to impeach Shen Shixing and other wanton depletion of national funds directly into the brazier, and took a few steps back with a wry smile, and said:

"It's over, it's all over!"

"My 5,000 acres of water are watering the fields!"

Dongning's brother Jiao Zhaolong also cried after seeing Tang Bao, and chose to hang himself that night, mainly because he really couldn't accept this result.

"The price of the silver dollar is really still falling, it has fallen to the level of Wanli ten years, and many workshops have begun to resume production."

"Especially in the places where the rich often go to silk villages and jade shops, the silk of Shu brocade has risen by fifty percent, and many rich families have begun to exchange silver for these things."

Gu Yuncheng came back and said to Gu Xiancheng.

Gu Xiancheng smiled helplessly: "Why did you suddenly copy so much silver in the Wa Kingdom!" ”

"At this moment, His Majesty's prestige as the lord of the people will be greatly increased, not only martial arts, but also the benevolent name of benefiting the people, and more importantly, it will further confirm the holy will that is the will of heaven."

"Because of their new party, it can be said that it is because the people need silver dollars, so Your Majesty knows that the Japanese have a large amount of silver, and even with the war of conquest, you don't need to let Your Majesty carry the name of the poor army, but only the name of the Holy Candle."

"yes!"

"State affairs can't be done, and family affairs are now beginning to have hidden worries, once the clan blames us for selling the 800 acres of Taihu land that our ancestors had obtained with great difficulty in order to speculate on silver dollars, how should we deal with it?"

After Gu Yuncheng agreed, he asked about Gu Xiancheng.

"How do I know!"

Gu Xiancheng suddenly yelled out of shape, his face turned hideous, and then he said:

"What else can I do besides admitting it, I can only find a way to redeem it in the future."

"But it's probably not so cheap to redeem it."

Gu Yun became enlightened.

Gu Xiancheng said: "It's still redeemed!" In the end, it is the property left by the ancestors. ”

"Yes!"

……

With the inflow of a large number of silver dollars into the market, coupled with the information that the imperial court had obtained a large amount of silver from the Wa Kingdom, it also began to spread at the bottom, in addition, many vigilant large households also began to buy back assets, so many people also began to react, and began to spend the silver dollars in their hands when the price was high, and some were bold and even borrowed for consumption.

There is no way, as the number of silver dollars in circulation in the market increases, inflation has begun to appear.

However, inflation has not yet reached a serious level, only slightly inflationary.

Because the imperial court has been controlling the release of silver dollars, and the Ming Dynasty is already short of silver, it is still very difficult to cause big inflation in the Ming Dynasty through the silver dollar, a silver-based currency, unless it really robs the world's silver.

It is worth mentioning that there has been no large-scale increase in grain prices, only a slight and orderly increase, which is also controlled by the imperial court.

Before, the Ming court took advantage of the powerful and gentry to sell high-quality assets, repurchased a large amount of grain, so that the warehouses everywhere were full of grain and rice, and now they can release a large amount of grain through the government-run grain stores, in order to achieve the purpose of stabilizing grain prices, but in order to encourage farmers to farm, it did not completely suppress the rise in grain prices, but only let it rise slightly, so that the wage increase of the people in the market can keep up, and can withstand the rise in grain prices.

As the eve of the 16th year of Wanli approached, the silver dollar had fallen to a very low price, which stimulated the 8th year of Wanli and the 9th year of Wanli, which were originally hidden in the cellars of many large households, to begin to appear in circulation.

The market did prosper again, the unemployment rate began to decline, and many workshops began to actively borrow from Zhu Yijun's newly established Daming Bank, and then actively resumed work and production.

Hai Rui, who came out to inspect the market with Wang Yongji in a cloth suit because he heard that the price of the silver dollar had plummeted, saw that there were no more unemployed homeless people lining up to receive relief porridge in the porridge shed of Shuntian Mansion, and that many small yarn spinning families in Shuntian Mansion had also begun to squeak and squeak and start operating, and said with a smile to Wang Yongji, who was walking with him:

"The country and the people are safe again."

"yes!"

Wang Yongji also laughed and said: "It's not just the peace of the country and the people, but the situation of the annexation has been greatly improved. ”

Hai Rui smiled: "It's not because of the greed of those big right-hand households, there is no social law in their eyes, only flies and dogs, which has led to today's situation, Liangtian Wangpu is greatly owned by the common people, and it is also beneficial to the national tax policy." ”

"But come to think of it, they will not admit to loss."

Wang Yongji said at this time.

After hearing this, Hai Rui turned to look at Wang Yongji.
