Chapter 45: As It Should Be

"Cut!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was imagining the future with everyone, a sneer suddenly sounded.

Everyone frowned, but they saw Zhu Ying looking at them with disdain.

"What do you mean by sneering?"

Lan Yu was the first to hold back and asked.

Just now, I was still thinking that I had been cutting tartars behind Brother Chang and Brother Xu's butts for so many years, which was really not enjoyable, and now I finally have the opportunity to lead the troops to cut tartars on the prairie by myself.

Although I am not as good as Lao Chang and Lao Xu, Lao Chang has died young, and Lao Xu is not young, it's time for me to play and show it.

Our new generation of God of War, who will I take?

When I finish cutting the Tartars, if I don't enjoy it, I will take my subordinates all the way over and cut Fusang as well, I haven't thought about it yet, what is this kid sneering at?

Isn't this a nice dream?

"Tell me about a few of you, let's not talk about the fact that you are seventy and eighty and half of your bodies into the ground, just you sesame officials, the major affairs of the court, it is your turn to worry about a few of you?"

"Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if these crops are promoted, then harvested, and then entered the granary, it is not something that can be completed in three or two days?"

"Even if there is enough food for a year or two, won't it take time for the population to rise? At your age, will you be able to survive until then? ”

Looking at this group of people who were like chickens, Zhu Ying looked disdainful.

Even if the imperial court starts to spare no effort to promote it now, when the demographic dividend of the Ming Dynasty comes, it will take at least ten years.

If you look at the Southern Song Dynasty, there were few Han people?

At least there is a population of more than 100 million!

But after nearly 100 years of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, by the time Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the population was less than 50 million, and it was directly less than two-thirds of the population.

The exploitation of the Han people by the Tatars can be seen.

Until the founding of the Ming Dynasty, after more than 100 years of recuperation, until the Chenghua period, the population of the Han people was still less than 100 million, only 60 or 70 million.

Zhu Ying said that in the past ten years, he has overestimated the efficiency of feudal society.

Without decades of recuperation, even if there is enough food, it is a fool's dream that the population wants to rise exponentially.

The group of people in front of him are all half-cut into the ground, and judging from Zhu Biao's age, they may not be able to live to that time.

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and everyone suddenly sighed.

"I know what's going on in your mind, but there's no need to sigh."

"Aren't you thinking about cleaning up the disobedient forces around you and making them obedient?"

"Even if you can't wait for the population to rise, isn't there another way?"

"And it's even more effective, and it doesn't even take a lot of effort at all, and it can be achieved in three years!"

Zhu Ying couldn't bear to watch this group of people sigh as they were doused with a basin of cold water on their heads, and couldn't help but comfort a few words.

I'm afraid that I will have to stay in Daming for a while, so I am simply idle, so it is better to chat with this group of people.

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and everyone immediately looked at each other.

There are so many dynasties in history, and there is only one way to achieve control over the surrounding areas!

That's hit!

It's not enough to just fight, you have to figure it out slowly!

This kid actually said that it was effortless and could be won in three years?

This kid really dares to brag!

"There's a limit to bragging, right?"

"That is, why don't we believe what you say?"

......

Everyone didn't believe Zhu Ying's words at all, and looked at him with contempt one by one, only thinking that he was bragging.

"It's superficial, isn't it?"

Zhu Ying took out the Daming treasure banknote in his arms and said with a smile: "This is the way I said." ”

"If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is me, I will immediately do one thing now, that is, let the Ming treasure banknote be promoted nationwide as soon as possible, and then lead the six departments, and let the yamen in various places force the use of the Ming treasure banknote."

"That's not right! What is the use of promoting mandatory use in the country? Do those Fanbangs in the surrounding areas have Daming treasure money in their hands! ”

Li Shanchang was even more puzzled.

"It's not simple, they don't have Daming treasure money, if you want to have Daming treasure money, you can exchange it for something!"

"Whether it's cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, or real money, if you don't have any of these, then exchange people for Daming treasure money."

"Daming has also been founded for more than ten years now, and if you want to do this, there must be no problem, so we only need to use Daming treasure money to harvest the wealth in their hands."

"Naturally, when the Daming treasure banknote arrives in their hands, it already needs to have the characteristics of value preservation, that is, they can also hold the Daming treasure banknote and buy items at will in the territory of Daming."

Zhu Ying explained slowly.

"What's going on? Why don't I understand? Aren't you taking off your pants and farting? Turning around, isn't this Daming treasure banknote still back to us in the end? ”

Lan Yu had a question mark on her face.

"Too much?"

"As long as they don't have real money in their hands, as long as they all use Daming treasure money, then their economy is our Daming master."

"Ben Gongzi sees that you are so stupid, so I will give you an example."

"If you want to buy a horse from the northern powers now, the only way you can use it is to barter."

"Take our Daming's rice or salt in exchange, right?"

"But when the Daming Treasure Banknote is promoted, you don't have to take anything, you only need to hold a few Daming Treasure Banknotes, and you can buy anything you want."

"So we just need to make the complex things simple, and the simple things simpler."

Zhu Ying took the trouble to continue to explain.

This thing is already a well-known thing in the 21st century.

One of the most powerful countries has used this kind of means, so that people all over the world have become his leeks.

After the Brinton Woods system was gone, the anchors became their paper money and oil, linking the two.

As a result, their currency became a global currency.

As long as there is inflation in their country, they only need to do one thing, and that is to print money, keep printing money, and let the world pay for it.

What Zhu Ying is saying now is the same thing as this.

It's just that the currency anchor of the 21st century is oil, and although the Ming Dynasty can get oil, it is obviously useless, so it can only choose corn.

However, as long as it is promoted, it is easier and more convenient to cut leeks than in the 21st century.

"I see!"

"High! It's really high! ”

......

Everyone present, except for Lan Yu, who still had a question mark on his face, the rest of them instantly understood the mystery.

In short, that is, the Ming Dynasty only needs to be responsible for printing and distributing banknotes, and any area that uses the Ming treasure banknotes will become the leeks of the Ming Empire.

Of course, this approach is possible, but it will take a little time to implement.

It's just that this kid said that if he was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why did he sound so uncomfortable?

If this kid rebels, I don't know if he can beat us?

Why don't we quietly send some people to this kid and let him rebel quickly?
