Jiang Xinghuo recorded the numbers and continued to speak: "In the twentieth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Xiangwu Da'er and others passed through western Yunnan, and Burma sent troops to fight for the Yuan army, and the conquest was successful. Finance -10, National Fortune +10. ”

Hearing this, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other again, and they invariably saw the joy in each other's eyes.

The fight against Japan failed, and the fight against the city also failed, and this time it was finally a success.

If he succeeds, Li Jinglong should suspect that the Mongols, who are known as invincible in the world, are not as good as going up and leading the troops to fight? How can you defeat anyone?

Just when Li Jinglong brought the perspective of the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty and was thinking about it, Jiang Xinghuo's voice sounded in his ears again.

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

After the expansion and conquest of western Yunnan, the financial value had fallen to 50 at this time, but the national fortune value suddenly came to 90.

At this moment, not only Li Jinglong kept shaking his head, but even the belligerent Zhu Gaoxu began to hesitate.

The national fortune value is too high, and it is very secure, even to the point of being a little wasteful.

Moreover, since one of the purposes of the game is to extend the time of [banknotes] as much as possible, then on the premise of ensuring the fortune of the country, it is necessary to pay attention to the financial value.

Eventually, the two exchanged glances and rejected the repression together.

In the secret room, Xia Yuanji asked curiously, "Will Your Majesty make the same choice?" ”

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he shook his head and only said: "If this is the reality, no matter what the financial situation is, I will definitely suppress every rebellion." ”

Xia Yuanji understood what the emperor meant, and the implication was that if it was in this text simulation game, then Zhu Di also felt that the national fortune value was a little too high and the financial value was too low, so he also made the same choice as his second son and chose to give up the suppression.

After all, if two crackdowns were carried out in a row, the fiscal figure would have fallen to 40, while the national fortune figure would still be 90.

The problem is that whether the national fortune is 90 or 80, there is actually no difference, it is a very safe level.

But at this time, the financial value is different, half of it is 50, which is actually a hurdle in most people's hearts.

50 and 40 sound like you've dropped a big step down.

And if the finances are too low, and there are some emergencies that directly trigger the [money change], causing the game to be suspended early, doesn't that mean that they are not as good as the Mongolians in playing money?

This is unacceptable to everyone involved in the game.

Therefore, when the 20th year of the Zhiyuan in the simulation game ends, in the pen of the official in the secret room, the financial value is 50, and the national fortune is 80.

What do you say about the format of simulation games so far?

It's not good, it's not bad.

After all, there are still a full 80 points left in the national fortune of "My Great Yuan", and the finances are maintained at the half level of 50 points, although it seems a bit dangerous, but no one thinks that this danger will expand to the point of endangering the survival of the country.

Even Xia Yuanji didn't realize what was about to happen, only the upright little official with a Chinese face in the secret room seemed to vaguely recall something.

When it was confirmed that his memory was correct, even though Chai Chexuan was a little discolored, fortunately, his expression had always been wooden, and he was not noticed by the other people in the secret room.

Only Guo Jin, a companion who was familiar with him, gave him a strange look and gestured to him with his eyes.

The chariot shook his head imperceptibly, signaling that now was not the time for his companions to communicate.

In fact, in addition to Jiang Xinghuo, who hosted the game, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, father and son, did not read a lot of history books, and they didn't know much about Yuan history.

Xia Yuanji is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, it stands to reason that he should understand, but his personal chronicles are not here, when he turned the "History of the Yuan" compiled by Song Lian, that is, he looked at the food and goods chronicles, as well as the general biographies of people, and the specific things every year passed by at a glance, and now I can't remember it clearly.

Therefore, just when everyone was slightly relaxed, two cold historical events suddenly popped out of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth.

"In the twenty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhennan Wang Tuhuan and Li Heng and other false Dao Annan failed to attack the city for the second time. Finance -10, National Fortune -10. ”

"In the same year, a special event occurred - the Jingshi earthquake!"

"In September of the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was an earthquake in Beijing, and hundreds of thousands of houses were damaged. National Games-10. ”

After a while, seeing that Jiang Xinghuo didn't speak, Li Jinglongfu asked again: "Then what?" What else happened this year? Is it just pure bad luck? ”

Because according to the previous law, the order of occurrence was historical conquest, rebellion choice, and special events, and this time only the first and third, and the second was skipped.

"You guessed it."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, and then used a twig to record it on the sandy ground.

"The financial year after the settlement is 40, and the national fortune is 60."

Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

At this moment, they finally felt the aura of danger.

Li Jinglong opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

If he didn't believe that what Jiang Xinghuo said was a historical event, in fact, he wanted to ask Jiang Xinghuo, did this special mother deliberately fix us? How can it be unlucky to be like this?

Could it be that the Mongols have made too many murders?

Just when Li Jinglong had already begun to scold his mother in his heart, the time in the simulator also entered the next year.

Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu both stared at Jiang Xinghuo nervously, for fear that Jiang Xinghuo would continue to bring bad news.

Fortunately, the good start gave the precarious "My Dayuan" back to blood.

"In the twenty-second year of the Yuan Dynasty, a special event occurred - grain shipping."

"The grain that was originally transported by water was changed to sea transportation, and the loss was greatly reduced, and the finance was +5."

"In the same year, a special event occurred - the beheading of Lu Shirong."

"The transfer of Jiangxi tea caused Lu Shirong to be beheaded, a huge amount of family property was confiscated, and the treasury was +5."

"In the same year, there was a special event - a good harvest."

"Bumper harvest in some grain-producing areas, fiscal +5."

"In the same year, a special event occurred - the Zen turmoil."

"Jiangnan Xingtai supervised the imperial history book to suggest that you abdicate, Zen to your crown prince Zhenjin, in a fit of rage purged the princelings who had been conservative in Confucian education since childhood, thus uniting a large number of civil officials, and the crown prince Zhenjin died of illness in December at the end of the year. But fortunately, you have many sons, which does not have much impact on you, who hold great power, but rather consolidates your own rule. National Games-5. ”

"The financial situation after the settlement of this year is 55, and the national fortune is 55."

Hearing this, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu, who had just lifted their hearts, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the national fortune has dropped a little, the finances have risen.

In this way, last year was just pure bad luck!

That's right, since there are times when bad things happen, it means that there will always be times when good things happen.

Just as people can't always memorize words, so is the country.

Next, it's sure to be a good thing!

It's better to have a bumper harvest for 10 years in a row or something.

"I don't think it's going to be so bad all the time, you see until the twenty-second year of the Yuan Dynasty, isn't it good?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

I don't know if he is "very good", referring to the fact that Zhenjin, the crown prince of the Yuan Dynasty, who is not very similar to his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, was deposed by Kublai Khan, who is also very similar to his father Emperor Yongle.

If that's what he was referring to, it was really good for him.

Li Jinglong didn't think about it so much, or he thought about it too, but he knew that Zhu Di might be listening to it, and Li Jinglong didn't plan to dance on Zhu Di's scales, so he pretended not to understand.

Li Jinglong said: "In short, there are times when the Ming Dynasty is difficult, but most of them are not good or bad years, and they will definitely be able to survive." ”

In fact, these two people can have such simple thoughts, so that when they taste a little sweetness, they begin to fall into the fantasy time of blind optimism, purely because they have not been beaten by God.

They don't know what it means, as long as people start the first best game, the next one is a whole page of kneeling.

In other words, failure is always a part of life.

In the twenty-third year of the Yuan Dynasty, the third attack on Zhancheng by the king of Zhennan failed. Finance -10, National Fortune -10. ”

"In the same year, a special event occurred - the Yellow River burst its banks."

"The embankment of the Yellow River collapsed, and 15 places in Kaifeng, Xiangfu, Chenliu, Qi, Taikang, Tongxu, Yanling, Fugou, Huchuan, Weishi, Yangwu, Yanjin, Zhongmu, Yuanwu, and Suizhou were affected, and the Yellow Flood area stretched for thousands of miles. As a result, several provincial finances have been devastated, and millions of people in the Yellow Plains have been displaced and resentful. Finance - 20, national fortune - 10. ”

"What?!"

"Mr. Jiang, don't laugh!"

In the secret room.

Zhu Di looked back and asked the two officials: "What are the current values of finance and national fortune?" ”

"Finance 25, national fortune 35." Guo Jin replied hurriedly.

Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other, and they both looked at the heavy expressions in each other's eyes.

In just three years, two large-scale failures in the use of foreign troops, coupled with the bursting of the Yellow River's embankment, instantly made the finances, which had previously seemed reluctant, directly go bankrupt, and the national fortunes plummeted.

It can be said that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the situation has become extremely bad in an instant, and everyone no longer has the optimistic estimate they had before.

"Xia Shangshu, you read a lot, I want to ask, Yuan Dynasty. Is it really so unlucky? ”

"It should be, during the Yuan Dynasty, the number of times the Yellow River burst its banks was too large to count, and the ministers couldn't remember it clearly." Xia Yuanji said helplessly.

Under the old crooked neck tree inside the wall.

Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu were even more dumbfounded.

"It's not. Mr. Jiang, don't you play like this, do you? If you come like this, how can you continue to play? ”

"Yes, Jiang Lang, is this too difficult? There are only 35 left in the national fortunes, if you don't want to lose the country, you can only reduce the finances to protect the national fortune in the face of the choice, isn't that forcing us to [change money]? ”

Li Jinglong was a little broken and began to doubt his life.

In the face of the protests of the two, Jiang Xinghuo restrained his smile and explained in a serious tone.

"You think a lot of bad things have happened in a row, the game is too difficult, and the values have fallen below your expectations, so there is dissatisfaction, right?"

The two nodded.

Jiang Xinghuo's tone suddenly became a little heavy.

"In the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty, the millions of people in the Central Plains, Huaibei and Shandong, whose houses, cattle, fields, seeds, neighbors, and relatives were all swept away by a major flood, should they also feel that this year is very difficult?"

"You're feeling unhappy that the game you're playing is too much more difficult for you, so you can tell me about it."

Jiang Xinghuo sighed and said slowly: "Then these ordinary people are dissatisfied, who should they complain to?" To the Mongols who held their butcher's knives high to them? ”

"You must know that the historical facts that float through our mouths are the ordinary and tragic lives of countless ordinary people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air instantly became quiet and silent.

In a trance, everyone seemed to see the people who were struggling in the Yellow River that year, and their bodies were swollen into floating balls.

It was only then that they became acutely aware.

They are simulating a play on words, but all these historical facts that appear in the game are real and brutal facts.

Those ordinary people who died tragically are living people!

They are alive and flesh and blood!

It's a living life!

After listening to Jiang Xinghuo's words, everyone fell into a long period of contemplation.

"Shame!"

After a long time, Li Jinglong spoke: "I think I already understand the ultimate purpose of this game. ”

"This so-called word simulation game is actually to make us realize that every choice of the country's finances and national fortunes will lead thousands of people to a completely different fate, so we must be more cautious in every choice."

"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong, and I understand what you mean."

Zhu Gaoxu also said.

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head instead.

"The past has already happened and cannot be changed, and this is only one of the purposes, not the main purpose."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't express any special emotions, but his tone was a little low.

"Just one of the purposes?" Li Jinglong was slightly surprised.

"The first purpose is naturally to let you know the suffering and hardship of the common people."

"A grain of sand in the torrent of the times, put on ordinary people, is a heavy mountain!"

"In this word simulation game, you play as the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty. What is the fortune of the country, isn't it the will of the people? The will of the common people has a bearing on the stability of the country. Your choices will determine the future development of your country. If you make a wrong choice, you can deviate the trajectory of the development of the whole country, maybe it will change the direction of history, or it may repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty and go to extinction. ”

Jiang Xinghuo finally said what he wanted to say at this time.

"But you must know that it costs money to keep the hearts and minds of the people and maintain the fortunes of the country!"

"Spending money is lowering the finances!"

"And the other purpose of this game, and the main purpose, is to let you know how the ruler is making a step-by-step choice, in order to maintain the fortunes of the country, that is, the survival of his own national rule, to the point of no return."

"You think the Mongols are playing bad because they're stupid."

"It's not that they're stupid, it's that if they don't save the finances by [changing money], the country will perish!"

"Only by immersing you in the scene will you understand how the hyperinflation during the Yuan Dynasty came about."

"And it is only through this deeply involved game that you can understand what inflation is and how it is generated."

"And, why do I say that only 'silver treasure money' can save the inevitable inflation of the Ming Dynasty in the future to the greatest extent. And then save the people whose wealth was ruthlessly harvested by the imperial court by means of [changing money]. ”

"That's what this lesson is about!"

"Instead of taking you here to play games."

"Of course, it's not time for the game to stop yet, let's continue."
