Chapter Seventy-Nine: Can You Continue Playing with Money? It smells so good!
Inside the secret room.
Whether it is Zhu Di or Xia Yuanji, there is no objection to the current result.
Because these are all historical events that can be found in the "History of the Yuan", Jiang Xinghuo is not guilty of fraud.
And "my Dayuan" has been so unlucky in the past few years, after destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, he changed his invincible posture in the past, and it was not smooth to fight those small countries, such as the three battles to occupy the city, the second to fight Japan, all lost.
Moreover, the internal strife in the Mongol khanates was also serious, and floods, droughts, and locust earthquakes took turns to patronize them.
In fact, Jiang Xinghuo has said a lot less about the messy things for the ruler.
And they felt that the choice of Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu within the wall was not too much of a problem.
If they were chosen instead, the results were all very different.
So the situation is the way it is, it's not a mistake in choice, it's just that too many bad things have happened.
Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, what Jiang Xinghuo said about these 'silver treasure money', the minister doesn't understand what he is talking about, as for him saying that he has a way to solve the depreciation of the treasure banknote, the minister doesn't think he can do it." ”
Xia Yuanji also sighed: "But no matter what, this person is a compassionate person." ”
Seeing that Xia Yuanji still didn't believe that Jiang Xinghuo would have a way to resist the depreciation of the treasure banknote, Zhu Di didn't say anything.
As for the following sentences, Zhu Di did not echo his point of view, but said.
"Compassion is not a good thing, especially when I was a child in this kind of powerless thing, Emperor Taizu Gao was busy fighting wars to pacify the world, and I saw a lot of this kind of thing at that time. Later, in the middle of his life, he was also accustomed to killing and death, and his heart gradually hardened like iron and stone. ”
"But that's also the past, since I met Jiang Xinghuo, sometimes, for a few moments, I still feel that my heart is not so hard."
Hearing this, Xia Yuanji was secretly surprised.
Zhu Di, a ruthless person who can carry a big knife to his own nephew's door-to-door physical visit, if you want to say that he has any awe, it is estimated that he still has a little bit of respect for his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
The rest, not at all.
There is no reverence, but there is a lack of compassion.
Zhu Di is the emperor immediately, and even the dragon chair was taken by his own force.
Just like the popular saying of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the king of soldiers and horses is strong. But the inevitable consequence of the arrogant generals is that the people's livelihood is withered.
Which dynasty and which generation fights, except for a very small number of armies such as the Yue family's army, it is difficult to restrain Qiu Ba who kills the red-eyed, and it is the people who suffer in the end.
Therefore, whether active or passive, thinking or not, Zhu Di's military actions have objectively caused harm to many people.
But then again, an iron-blooded emperor like Zhu Di actually said such a thing now, which is quite a bit of sincerity, and it is really unbelievable.
Of course, although he was a little surprised, Xia Yuanji didn't show it, but just smiled and complimented: "Your Majesty's kindness is really a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"This game isn't over yet, keep listening." Zhu Di said lightly.
The game continues.
After a difficult twenty-three years, the annual settlement value is 25 for the treasury and 35 for the national fortune.
Jiang Xinghuo continued: "In the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the king of Zhennan, Tuhuan, attacked the capital of Annan. Finance -10, National Fortune +10. ”
"In the same year, the Fujian Kapok Lifting Division was set up, and the finance was +5."
"There was a rebellion in the same year, was it suppressed?"
This time, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu's choice was much more cautious.
Li Jinglong said: "Let me discuss." ”
Jiang Xinghuo nodded in agreement, and after a while, the two got together and had a simple exchange, which was considered to be the end of the discussion.
Now the treasury is 20, and the national fortune is 45.
The financial figures were in jeopardy, and the national fortunes were barely at the middle level, and even Zhu Gaoxu, the iron-headed baby of the iron-headed baby, did not dare to choose suppression, so the two finally decided to give up suppressing the rebellion to keep the finances from completely collapsing.
Otherwise, you will have to be forced to [change money] if you do it twice.
"Give up repression, fiscal 20, national fortune 40."
Hearing this result, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other, as if relieved, and let out a long breath.
Historical expansion and routine rebellions have happened, and the Great Yuan Dynasty, like an aggressive rooster, should have stopped in the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, taken a breath, and returned to blood, right?
After all, just according to Jiang Xinghuo's words, the circle of countries around the Yuan Dynasty should have been beaten.
Japan and Champong, which can't be defeated, will never touch their heads no matter how iron.
And expansion is the most money-burning, and it may not be successful, and if you lose, you will lose the fortune of the country.
Therefore, if the Yuan Dynasty does not carry out foreign expansion and conquest in the future, then the financial situation will definitely gradually improve.
This principle applies not only to this game, but also to the reality of all dynasties.
In ancient times, wars, thousands of miles of grain transportation, heavy losses and requisition of people were all huge burdens on the national finances.
Inside the secret room.
"The well-known countries around have been fought all over again, the Yuan Dynasty should have stopped, right?" Zhu Di asked.
Xia Yuanji said with certainty after a little recollection: "It should be like this, since the late years of Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty has rarely expanded to the outside world, and the territory has basically been fixed. ”
"That's good." Zhu Di nodded and relieved.
"In this way, as long as we don't expand and don't encounter any major events, our finances and national fortunes will slowly improve."
Zhu Di reasoned: "And the Yuan Dynasty in history, didn't it die just after the founding of the country, which shows that the national fortune at this time is still standable." ”
Listening to the two of them, the little clerk who was loading the wooden man in the corner shook his head in his heart.
You rejoice too early, and the hard days are yet to come.
Regarding the twenty-fourth year of Zhiyuan, Jiang Xinghuo did not continue to talk about it.
Just when Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu felt that this was neither good nor too bad, the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty should finally pass.
Jiang Xinghuo looked up with a strange expression, looked at them and said softly.
"In the same year, there was a special event - civil strife in Mongolia."
"King Naiyan rebelled, you were forced to drive the expedition in person, the two sides fought near the Liao River, and the soldiers captured and killed Naiyan. However, in this battle, many Mongolian soldiers knew the enemy soldiers, and the battle was ineffective, and most of the military achievements came from the Han army led by Li Ting. Finance -10, National Fortune +10. ”
"In the same year, a special incident occurred - a fire in the imperial palace of Yuan Dadu."
"The newly built Yuan Dadu Imperial Palace accidentally caught fire, and more than half of the buildings in the palace were burned down, and he was forced to embezzle the extremely tight treasury to rebuild half of the imperial palace. Fiscal - 10. ”
After saying all this, Jiang Xinghuo pointed a branch at the financial value on the ground and drew a cross fiercely!
Then, Jiang Xinghuo threw away the branch that he had snatched from Li Jinglong's hand and said to the two.
"Congratulations!"
"Your country, in your step-by-step rational choice, has gone bankrupt!"
It's over~
Looking at the surprise and unconvincing on their faces mixed together, Jiang Xinghuo said lightly.
"But fortunately, the value of the national fortune has not returned to zero, and the country has still survived."
"The national focus [banknote] was forcibly triggered, and the financial value was reset to 80, and the national fortune was 50."
Li Jinglong: "I'm not convinced!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu: "I'm the same!" ”
"The Mongols love to fight, and it is the national nature to expand and conquer abroad, and I can understand this." Zhu Gaoxu said irritably, "It's such a thing as internal strife in Mongolia, the army and the army have gone on an expedition to the Liao River, so the reduced financial value is the same as going to fight other countries, which I don't have to say, it's very reasonable." ”
"The question is, the newly built palace caught fire and burned half of it, so can't it be left and wait? Desperate to get the finances bankrupt? Do you have to get the forced trigger [Change]? I didn't even have a chance to choose, so it ended inexplicably! ”
Li Jinglong also wanted to protest, but when he thought that Zhu Di might be listening next to him, he closed his mouth and let Zhu Gaoxu protest alone.
"Well said, then if you are an elderly Kublai Khan, after experiencing the events of the crown prince's attempt to seize power and the rebellion of the Mongol king, you feel that you have rebelled against your relatives, and the palace that you have been waiting for for most of your life has just fallen and is burned down, will you choose to rebuild?"
"If you don't rebuild, where will your majesty as emperor go? Will the people feel that this fire is the will of heaven and that the Yuan Dynasty has lost its mandate? Or did the Yuan Dynasty not even have the money to rebuild the palace? ”
"I see." Li Jinglong sighed dejectedly, "The more you have no money, the more you want this face to be bright, because there is only this face left." ”
"Nope."
Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and said, "The Mongols still have knives in their hands. ”
This time, Jiang Xinghuo continued to speak, but did not give them a chance to choose, but as if he was reading a prepared narration.
He said in some kind of cold, emotionless words.
"Faced with the dilemma of financial bankruptcy, you sensible, in the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, made the same choice as Kublai Khan, the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty."
"-[Money]!"
"Due to the sunset of the banknote price, to the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, used Sange to negotiate and make the Yuan banknote, each of which is five times in the banknotes, one tael of silver in two runs, one tael of twenty times in alloy, and the old and new banknotes are parallel."
Li Jinglong asked: "So how long has it been since the well-prepared Zhongtong banknote began to be issued and the game started to start?" ”
"It has been 27 years since the issuance of the Zhongtong banknotes, and 6 years have passed since the start of the game, that is, the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty to unify the country."
Under the old crooked neck tree, he suddenly became silent.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he scratched his beard decadently.
He originally thought that he would be much stronger than the Mongols, but it turned out that he was not much stronger than the Mongols.
And Li Jinglong hammered his temple with remorse, feeling a little depressed.
Damn, it seems that he is still a grandfather of the country.
It's too troublesome to be an emperor.
Hearing this, Xia Yuanji in the secret room couldn't maintain the composure on his face at all!
These proportions and conversions that sounded a bit awkward for the first time may not be understood by others, but he, the Ming Hubu Shangshu, who is in charge of the wealth of the world, calculated the result with a single thought.
Seeing that Xia Yuanji's face changed slightly, and the two little officials behind him were still calculating, Zhu Di simply asked.
"Xia Shangshu, the proportions of Zhiyuan banknotes and Zhongtong banknotes, as well as silver, can you give me a detailed result?"
Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and said.
"The ratio of the Zhiyuan banknote to the Zhongtong banknote is 1:5, and the ratio of silver to the Zhiyuan banknote is 1:2, and the original silver ratio to the Zhongtong banknote is 2:1, Your Majesty, do you know what this means?"
"Eighty percent of the wealth in the hands of the people was plundered because of a [banknote]!"
Xia Yuanji stood up and said earnestly: "This is also the reason why the minister said that the Daming treasure banknote is depreciating day by day, but there is really no way to solve it!" ”
"I see what you mean."
Zhu Di understood Xia Yuanji's over-the-top voice, or the words he didn't dare to say.
The problem of the depreciation of Daming treasure banknotes is not without a solution, on the contrary, the solution is also extremely simple.
Just two words, change money!
Although the convertible banknote solves the problem for a while, what is the cost?
The price is that the wealth in the hands of the people is plundered by the court, and the people's hearts are lost!
This is what shakes the fundamental things of the country.
Xia Yuanji, does he dare to mention it? Does he dare to take this responsibility? Or rather, can he afford to carry this big, heavy and bright black cauldron?
If he has the courage to bring it up enough, well, Zhu Di asked him to change the banknotes, such as replacing the Daming treasure banknotes with Yongle treasure banknotes, even if it solves the temporary difficulty of the depreciation of the Daming treasure banknotes, but then what?
Regardless of the problem of the loss of people's hearts, from the perspective of the banknote law alone, the root cause of depreciation cannot be solved.
In other words, [banknote] itself is a national policy that can be called drinking to quench thirst.
Compared with the means of money exchange, pretending to die to maintain the status quo is undoubtedly a more prudent choice.
This mentality is generally shared among the officials of the household department.
We want to believe. The wisdom of posterity.
As for what if future generations can't think of it?
Cold.
If you can't think of a solution, what does it have to do with the official who has already given the title?
"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future!"
In the end, Zhu Di's face was completely gloomy.
I said before that I didn't want to step on the pit when I saw it?
As a result, he stepped into it like the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was not much stronger than the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty.
And Xia Yuanji also woke up, and his heart was shocked!
Yes, the word simulation game has come to this point, the financial bankruptcy is forced to change money, and the fortunes of the country have become precarious.
Didn't they choose these step by step themselves?!
Xia Yuanji suddenly realized in shock that, in other words, they seemed to have made almost the same choice as the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.
These choices are all based on reason and the optimal solution of weighing the pros and cons over a certain period of time.
But it is these so-called "optimal solutions" that have brought the situation to this step of being forced to [change money].
They are no smarter than the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty!
And that's when they know part of the history!
For a while, Xia Yuanji felt a little decadent and powerless.
During the Hongwu Dynasty, he boasted that he had a grand plan to help the people through the country, and Emperor Taizu Gao also entrusted him with important tasks and placed expectations.
But more than ten years have passed, and he finally became the head of the household.
What has changed?
Nothing has changed!
Not only can I not change the problem of the vicious depreciation of Daming treasure banknotes year after year.
Not even playing a simulation game is not much better than the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.
So since I can't change anything, I can only stick to the rules and deal with the affairs of the ministry, so do I, Xia Yuanji, really have the talent to govern the country and manage the money as I expected? Is it not worthy of virtue?
Xia Yuanji fell into deep self-blame and self-doubt.
In fact, if Jiang Xinghuo knew, he would be able to summarize his mentality in one sentence very simply.
Thinking about C and C not moving, I just felt that my strength should not be in this position, and I began to feel sorry for myself when I talked too much.
And just when Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji were a little touched, across the wall, Jiang Xinghuo's voice came again.
"After this [banknote change], the Zhongtong banknote depreciated by eighty percent, and the wealth in the hands of the people was looted, and the ruling foundation of the Yuan Dynasty was greatly shaken for the first time."
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two.
"So, do you want to keep playing?"
"Can you still play?" Zhu Gaoxu asked in surprise.
"Of course, [money change] only caused the game to stop, and it was not the national fortune that caused the country to perish."
Li Jinglong said secretly: "Didn't you say that if you become an emperor, you will starve to death, and jumping from this tree will not trigger the [Change]?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu was furious when he heard this, the surprise on his face was gone, his face turned red, and his fists made a creaking sound.
"So do you want to continue playing? You make a decision, 'cai' only changed money once, and the Yuan Dynasty changed four times in history 'cai' perished. ”
Zhu Gaoxu withdrew from the red and warm state, with a childlike gesture of convincing in his eyes, indicating that he was not convinced and wanted to continue playing.
Zhu Gaoxu muttered in his mouth: "It's good to change money, it's good to change money, it's good to continue playing." ”
"It's a big deal, just keep the money unchanged next time~"
"It's so fragrant."
And Li Jinglong fell into a short thought, he was thinking, will there be a pit that cannot be avoided ahead.
13,500 words offered, so, do you still want to play? Then play the message.,If you don't play, skip this paragraph.。 Because it's the first time to write a simulator flow + word game, I don't know how well it works, so if you think the effect is good, continue, and if the effect is not good, please bear with me. By the way, ask for a monthly pass~
