Seeing the puzzled eyes of the three of them, Li Jin began to explain softly.

"Let's be Ming, now one tael of silver can buy one stone of grain."

"With the influx of a large amount of silver, the amount of silver in the market increased rapidly, and the common people naturally wanted to buy more grain when they had money."

"But there is only so much grain, and if there are more people who buy it, the price of grain will inevitably rise."

"The price of grain is the basis of all prices, and if the price of grain rises, the price of cloth and other things must also rise."

"This will lead to rising prices and a depreciation of silver, which is really not a good sign for our Ming people."

Li Jin's words were easy to understand, which made Zhu Biao and Xu Da fall into deep thought.

I have to say that what Li Jin said is very reasonable, but Zhu Biao doesn't plan to forget it like that.

Instead, he asked:

"In that case, is there a way to solve it?"

"The silver ore reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain are a full 800 million taels, and if only 1 million taels are mined every year, it will take 800 years to mine."

"That's a drop in the bucket."

"Can we mine more every year, and then it won't have such a big impact on people's lives?"

In Zhu Biao's view, wouldn't it be a waste if so much silver could not be used here?

Since mining is easy to cause price increases, is there a way to solve this so-called price rise?

After Tang He on the side heard Zhu Biao's words, his eyes were about to pop out.

After all, Tang He didn't know until now that the reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain were so huge.

And after Li Jin heard Zhu Biao's words, he pondered for a long time and slowly said an idea:

"It's not that there is no way, but this method is very cumbersome."

"If you don't want to cause prices to rise, you have to build a lot of infrastructure, and you have to do a lot of plunder."

"That's how we can slow down the rate of price increases."

"Big infrastructure? The Great Plunder? ”

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, and muttered softly:

"I don't know what it means?"

"Big infrastructure, in fact, is very simple."

Li Jin slowly said the way to reduce inflation in later generations of Huaxia, and explained to Zhu Biao and Xu Da:

"It's to use this money to build some infrastructure."

"For example, roads, water conservancy, houses, walls and other infrastructure."

"Daming is a vast land, and the construction of these infrastructures is enough to carry out for many years."

"And the construction of these facilities is beneficial for the present and for the future."

"It can not only make the transportation around Daming more convenient, build water conservancy, but also improve the yield of crops in Daming."

"In this way, in less than ten years, all kinds of materials of Daming can be fully developed."

"The people have also become richer because of their participation in the construction of large infrastructure, and the farmers can produce more food."

"In this way, even if there is a slight increase in prices, the people can accept it."

When Zhu Biao heard Li Jin's explanation, his eyes lit up, and he high-fived and praised:

"Okay."

"What about the Great Plunder?"

"The Great Plunder is even simpler."

A cruel sneer rolled up at the corner of Li Jin's mouth, and said:

"Since food prices are the standard for all prices, we just need to control food prices and not rise."

"And there are three situations in which the price of food rises, and if the supply exceeds the demand, the price of food will rise."

"If supply exceeds demand, food prices fall."

"When supply and demand are balanced, food prices will be stable, neither rising nor falling."

"For a period of time in the future, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be stable, and the emperor will be a saint of the ages, so he will naturally be able to ensure political clarity, and he will inevitably usher in the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty."

"When the population of Daming rises, the demand for food will rise sharply."

"Coupled with the sharp increase in the amount of silver on the market due to the excavation of silver mines, the upward trend of food prices seems to be overwhelming."

"But we can find food supply places from some small countries outside of our Ming Dynasty."

"To plunder the grain of these small countries to feed our people in the Ming Dynasty, so as to reduce the price of food."

"In this way, the price of grain in my Ming Dynasty will remain balanced, so the price will naturally not rise."

"The more and more money in the hands of the people, the business of my Ming Dynasty will also develop rapidly, and the more food the people buy, the stronger the desire to have children."

"At that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty grew rapidly, and it could even surpass the Han and Tang dynasties and become the first dynasty in Chinese history with a population of more than 100 million."

The cake that Li Jin painted for Zhu Biao made Zhu Biao only feel his blood boiling.

Far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, this is the prosperous era of the father and son of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Li Jin's blueprint, Zhu Biao even felt that his body trembled slightly.

After waiting for a while, after Zhu Biao calmed down, he felt that something was wrong, and asked softly:

"We're going to other countries to plunder, this... Isn't it good? ”

At this moment, Zhu Biao remembered the question he was thinking about on the ship.

Between morality and aggression, how should you choose?

Isn't there a better time to ask this question?

But after Li Jin heard Zhu Biao's question, he laughed and said:

"Since ancient times, my Chinese dynasty has regarded itself as such, and Confucian culture has paid more attention to courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith."

"There is naturally no problem with treating us Ming people, but in the exchanges between countries, how stupid is this idea?"

"Han Wu once said that alien races are beasts and barbarians, afraid of power but not virtuous."

"Since the other races are all aliens, for my Ming Dynasty, these small alien countries are just some barbarians."

"The traditional ideology of Confucianism teaches the world that we in China are the upper state of the Celestial Empire, and we should be friendly to the surrounding small countries and influence them with benevolence and righteousness, which is the royal way."

"But in my opinion, it's ridiculous."

"The royal way is for our Ming people, not for these alien barbarians."

"In my opinion, these aliens should be treated with domineering."

"It's definitely not right to bully the weak, but that depends on the object, now I am a big country, and I am extremely powerful."

"Naturally, we want to squeeze the living space of the surrounding small countries and make them bow down to our Ming Dynasty, but these are not enough."

"Surrendering to the vassals is only nominal, our Ming not only wants superficial benefits, but also some practical interests, to weaken the enemy country, and at the same time enhance our own strength."

"We want to plunder all the valuable materials of these countries, and this kind of free materials is likely to be the materials that our people need most."

"As the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, you should not think about how the people of a foreign country are doing, but you should try your best to improve the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Invading other countries will bear infamy, just like the current Wadao, but it can benefit the Ming Dynasty."

"Then I, Li Jin, would like to bear the infamy of a lifetime, and let the descendants of the Ming Dynasty enjoy happiness for all generations."

Li Jin's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he only saw that Zhu Biao had some tears in his eyes.

This is the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, the direct minister, the capable minister, and the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty.

If the DPRK and China are all ministers like Li Jin, why worry that the Ming Dynasty can't rise?

Xu Da and Tang He's gazes at Li Jin were also slightly complicated.

They are all old brothers who follow Zhu Yuanzhang, and they naturally know Zhu Yuanzhang's character best.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the two also tried to live in seclusion.

For them, they are now rich and noble, and they only need to honestly spend the rest of their lives, which is enough.

As for the people of the Ming Dynasty, there is naturally the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to worry about.

But now Li Jin's words can't help but remind them of their ideals when they were young, and their hearts inevitably throb a little.

But let them be as decisive as Li Jin, they naturally can't do it, and it is precisely because they can't do it that seeing such a person will make them can't help but be in awe.

"Good!! Li Da Da !! ”

Zhu Biao directly took the case, and there was no doubt about that question in his heart.

Li Jin is just a seven-grade county order, so he can have such righteousness, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally can't fall behind Li Jin.

"Ahem."

Seeing that Zhu Biao and Li Jin, the two young people, were a little enthusiastic, Xu Da couldn't help coughing softly twice and said:

"Lord Li, you better take the envoy to Iwami Silver Mountain first."

"Wait until the proven reserves are discovered, and then discuss the next thing."
