"Simulation? How to simulate the historical evolution of banknotes? ”

"Play a text-selective simulation game." Jiang Xinghuo said with a smile: "Let you make your choice immersively, and you will be able to understand how the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty broke the money method they carefully designed and maintained step by step. ”

Of course, it is possible that the outcome of your choice is not as good as that of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. Perhaps it is precisely because of their choices that the banknote law will collapse faster. Because of many things, you only know what they mean when you make your own decisions, and you are helpless. ”

"I don't believe it!" Li Jinglong suddenly objected.

Jiang Xinghuo asked, "What don't you believe?" ”

"I don't believe I will be inferior to the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty!"

"I don't believe that after I made my choice, the banknote law collapsed faster than it actually did in history!"

"You can believe it or not." Jiang Xinghuo said intriguingly: "Then you might as well tell me the reason." ”

"The reason is simple." Li Jinglong's answer was very straightforward, "The so-called use history as a mirror can know the rise and fall." Although I don't know how the banknote law of the Yuan Dynasty was corrupted, I guess it will have to be a long process, at least longer than the Ming treasure banknote, right? If it's a game of choice, I just need to focus on the advantages and avoid the disadvantages every time, and I can naturally maintain the money method for a longer period of time. ”

"After all." Li Jinglong smiled narrowly, "The banknote law of the Yuan Dynasty, colored scholars calculate the issuance, and there are leveling warehouses in various places to exchange gold and silver, but the Daming treasure banknotes do not have these, and they have been maintained until now." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji in the secret room next door was suddenly embarrassed.

It's like pointing at a monk and scolding a bald donkey.

Because the design of the Daming treasure banknote is indeed inferior to that of the Yuan Dynasty, and it did collapse step by step during his tenure in Xia Yuanji.

During the Hongwu period, Xia Yuanji started from the head of the household department and began to manage this stall.

But Xia Yuanji is also very aggrieved!

There is no collateral for this thing, and the emperor will open the seal as soon as he has no money, and the value will depreciate every year, what can I do?

But can you throw this pot at the emperor?

Therefore, Xia Yuanji was silent, fighting embarrassment with silence.

But Zhu Di suddenly spoke.

"Xia Shangshu, you said that Jiang Xinghuo's text simulation game is being played over there, and we are here to discuss and make a choice at the same time, so will the ending we choose not be as good as the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty?"

"I don't think so." Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Di's face and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the minister is also familiar with finance, and he does have the experience of the Mongols. It can't be inferior to the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, right? ”

Zhu Di bowed slightly, obviously he thought the same way.

inside the walls.

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly.

"This word game is called the Money Game: Simulating the Yuan Dynasty."

Li Jinglong grabbed the branch and said, "Since it is a game, there should always be a rule. ”

"Of course there are rules, and it's not complicated."

Jiang Xinghuo snatched the branch from his hand and drew Chinese characters and numbers on the ground.

"What determines the outcome of the game is the rules of the game composed of two sets of numbers, three national focuses, and special events."

Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly: "Mr. Jiang, come quickly!" ”

"The two sets of numbers - the national fortune and the finance, the initial value is 100."

"Three national policies - suppression, expansion, and money."

"Special events, including but not limited to bumper harvests, droughts, locust plagues, and the bursting of the Yellow River."

[Suppression: Suppression is a historical event can be selected, and the suppression will be successful, each time the suppression is -5 points of finance, and the suppression of -5 points of national fortune is not suppressed]

[Expansion: Expansion is not an option for historical events, the result follows historical facts, -10 points of finance for each expansion, +10 points of national fortune for success, -10 points of national fortune for failure]

[Banknote change: The fiscal budget is reset to 80% of the previous peak after the banknote change]

Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows slightly, he became interested in this game that he had never played before.

"And how does this wordplay work?" Li Jinglong asked.

Jiang Xinghuo explained.

"Under the ideal fiscal state of assuming a balance of payments, I will dictate the real historical events from the second year after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that you, as the supreme ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, can make a choice about what happened in a certain year."

"And there are two conditions for the end of the game."

"First, naturally, the national fortune will return to zero, and the game will be completely over."

"Second, the finance is forced to zero, triggering [money change], and the game is temporarily suspended."

"And since you don't believe in playing money law, you might as well be the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty. Then you might as well make your own decision and see if the time to trigger [Change] is shorter or longer compared to the historical time, or the same. ”

"I don't believe that I'm not as good as the Mongols when I play money!"

Zhu Gaoxu's competitive spirit was aroused, and he shouted: "I just let it go, I will starve to death when I become the emperor, and if I jump from this tree, I will not trigger the [change of money]!" ”

"Even if it is really a last resort and passively triggers the [Change], then my time must have lasted much longer than the Mongols!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xinghuo bit his lip and smiled not very kindly.

"Interesting, interesting!"

At this moment, not only Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu inside the wall, but even Zhu Di, who was eavesdropping in the secret room outside the wall, also exuded brilliance in his eyes.

"Do you use numbers to simulate the situation in the country?" Zhu Di stretched out his finger and sketched towards the air, "What does Xia Shangshu think of this method?" ”

Xia Yuanji bowed slightly, and replied seriously: "It's good to talk about making games, but after all, it's not the same thing as governing the country, after all, the country is too big, and there are too many variables, how can you use a specific number to add or subtract, you can say it clearly?" ”

"That's right."

Zhu Di bowed his head, but he didn't dig too deep.

Xia Yuanji originally thought that Zhu Di's question had passed, but he didn't expect Zhu Difu to turn around and say.

"Oh yes, Xia Shangshu, I was inspired by this and remembered something."

"Your Majesty said."

"After you go back, arrange for the competent officials in the ministry to compare the financial data of the first year of Hongwu with 100, compare the data from the first year of Hongwu to the present thirty-five years, and list the figures and hand them over to me, so that people like me, who are not professional in the economy and the people, can also see clearly." Zhu Di stared at Xia Yuanji and said slowly.

Xia Yuanji's heart jumped, and his face was silent, but he just said yes.

Xia Yuanji guessed in his heart that there were about two reasons for this, one of which was the previous treasure banknote, which was depreciated from 1000 guan in the eighth year of Hongwu to 160 guan in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, which caused Zhu Di to beat a little drum in his heart, but Zhu Di was first-class in the world when he fought the war, and he was second-rate in handling government affairs, but if he engaged in the economy, it was really a third-rate level.

The second is in terms of numbers, don't look at Zhu Di's jokes about his father Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, he is not even as good as his father, his father just can't calculate the special complex data to deduce the later situation.

What about Zhu Di.

Anyway, no matter how incompetent and furious you are, it just won't.

So Zhu Di, who knows his level, doesn't plan to embarrass himself, he doesn't even plan to look at the raw data, the raw data is checked by Zhu Gaochi. He only needed to directly ask Xia Yuanji to find someone and calculate a percentage data based on the first year of Hongwu. He can see at a glance how the financial data has changed over the years.

In fact, to put it bluntly, after experiencing the treasure money incident just now, Zhu Di always feels that he can only rest assured when he looks at these financial data, even if it is not really useful.

The two had a short conversation, and it was only a momentary thing.

Then, both of them turned their attention to the other side of the wall, listening intently.

The two officials, Guo Jin and the firewood car, were directly compared on the rice paper and recorded the values and game rules.

In fact, whether inside or outside the walls, this is a way of learning that no one has ever thought of.

was able to truly substitute the perspective of the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty through the mode of playing word games.

Then, from the perspective of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, they made their own choices about historical events to experience the evolution of paper money.

Except for Zhu Di, everyone's mood began to get excited.

It seems that with Jiang Xinghuo's games and words, he can also live an addiction of being an emperor and governing the country.

"Mr. Jiang, let's start quickly!"

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his big hands and couldn't wait to urge.

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, cleared his throat and began.

In the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the Yuan Dynasty unified China. At this time, the initial finance and national fortune are all full value. ”

The two officials next door also wrote 100 for finance and 100 for national fortune on rice paper at this time.

"Games.

- It's officially started! ”

Jiang Xinghuo first threw out a historical conquest incident.

"In the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Fan Wenhu and others attacked Japan, the hurricane destroyed the ship in July, and the generals abandoned the ship and fled in August, and only 12 of the whole army remained, and the conquest failed. Finance -10, National Fortune -10. ”

Then came the choice.

"There was a rebellion in the same year, was it suppressed?"

Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong glanced at each other and said almost in unison: "Suppression!" ”

And Xia Yuanji, who was in the secret room next door, also looked at Zhu Di with an inquiring gaze.

Zhu Di bowed slightly, signaling that he would make the same choice.

There is no other reason, now the financial value is full, which means that the finance is sufficient, and the option of suppression will definitely succeed, so the fool will not suppress it.

After all, the finances can be reset through the national policy of [changing money], but if the national fortune is gone, the country will be destroyed!

If the country dies, no matter how high the financial value is, what is the use?

Therefore, almost everyone remained unanimous and chose the option of repression.

"The suppression of a rebellion was successful, and the treasury was -5."

"Then the financial year after the end of the eighteenth year of the year is 85, and the national fortune is 90."

Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong looked at each other, and seemed to understand the meaning in each other's eyes.

That's it?

So simple that this year has passed?

This kind of game of fixed events and random selection, fixed events can't be controlled, and random selection can't I still take advantage and avoid disadvantages?

Li Jinglong is even more complacent, he is Cao Guogong is not the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, if he is the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, there must be a set of governing the country, not to mention creating a peaceful and prosperous world, it must also be a prosperous situation.

As for [banknote change]?

A small financial management expert like the national public will also bankrupt the finances and need to reset [banknotes]? Don't laugh.

This kind of simple little game for idiots can still stump the national public?

It's just funny, Jiang Lang got a trick this time, but it was really too simple.

Looking at the smug appearance of the two, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of cunning, and he said after smiling.

"Let's move on."

It seems that a rule has been formed, and Jiang Xinghuo still threw out a historical conquest event in the events that occurred in the next year.

In the nineteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he instigated the capital to attack the Champa Kingdom by sea, and the prince of Champa entered the mountains to resist, but the Champa Kingdom did not fall and the conquest failed. Finance -10, National Fortune -10. ”

"There were two rebellions in the same year, were they suppressed?"

Li Jinglong hesitated, but Zhu Gaoxu continued without hesitation: "Suppression! ”

"Wait a minute!"

Li Jinglong pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you suppress one of them and give up suppressing the other?" ”

"Absolutely."

"Financially abundant, why lower the national fortune and give up repression? Fiscal zeroing can also trigger the reset of the [banknote] national policy, won't the national fortune be destroyed if it is zeroed? Zhu Gaoxu expressed his opinion.

Li Jinglong's face once again showed obvious hesitation, and it was clear that he was just out of caution, not really unwilling to carry out two crackdowns.

Li Jinglong finally said: "If it is really because of the fiscal zero, it leads to [money change], doesn't it prove that our choice to play money law is not as good as that of the Mongols?" ”

"And there are so many finances, what are you trying to do? Now that the finances are sufficient, it is better to lower the finances than to lower the fortunes of the country, right? ”

Zhu Gaoxu also has his own reasoning: "After all, although we have to prove that we are not as short as the Mongols playing money law, we can't just ignore the financial and national fortunes, which is also not in line with the position of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

"We can't break the basic rules of the game in order to delay the change of money, the premise is that we are brought into the role of the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty."

Seeing that Li Jinglong didn't say anything to object, Jiang Xinghuo nodded and recorded this choice.

"The suppression of two rebellions was successful, and the treasury was -10."

"In the same year, there was a special event, a plague of locusts. Fiscal - 5. ”

"The financial situation after the settlement of this year is 60, and the national fortune is 80."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong, who brought themselves into the perspective of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty in the game, were relieved at this time.

Because in their opinion, or in the concept of the nobles in the early Ming Dynasty at this time, compared with the national fortune, the importance of the national fortune is far greater than the finance.

And the finance of 60 is far from the point where it needs to [change money].

This point, even Zhu Di in the secret room is no exception.

"Your Majesty also thinks that the treasury should be consumed to maintain the fortunes of the country?" Natsuhara asked.

"Shouldn't it? Whoever becomes the emperor will make this choice. Zhu Di asked rhetorically.

"No, it shouldn't." Xia Yuanji's expression was a little hesitant, "It's just that the minister thinks that the value of the treasury has been decreasing, and now it has dropped from 100 all the way to 60, so the minister always feels a little dangerous." ”

"Is it possible that because you are the head of the Ming Dynasty, you pay special attention to the value of finance?"

Zhu Di pulled out his hand from his sleeve, patted Xia Yuanji's arm and said, "Don't worry, 60 is not a dangerous number. If it is going to be reduced rapidly in the future, it is a big deal to give up suppressing the rebellion and exchange the national fortune for financial stability, Xia Shangshu, what do you say? ”

After listening to Zhu Di's words, Xia Yuanji still felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean to do when you say that Jiang Xinghuo is making such a game? Mr. Chen felt that it should be more than just playing games. ”

"Is it, as he said, to make decisions by bringing in the perspective of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Xia Yuanji saw that Zhu Di didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he delved into it again: "Then what is the purpose of making these decisions?" ”

"It should be to deduce how the Yuan Dynasty [changed money], but I think that you and I are both people of later generations, and since our predecessors have stepped on the pit, then we will never see falling into it."

"I hope so."

In the end, Xia Yuanji had no choice but to nod his head, and continued to listen to the uneasiness in his heart.

However, if the predecessors fell into the pit, will the descendants really not fall into it again?

The time in the simulation game unconsciously came to the twentieth year of the Zhiyuan.
