Chapter 303: Arrange a Mission? Let's make money first!
Last time, I talked about the sisters of the urging family, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen and his concubines, and Zhang Sanfeng met the "Tenglong Village" in "Dengyun Mountain" and learned about the next task.
"Oh. I see! Then, according to what you mean, Master, do you have to send someone overseas to find the special person of the 'Nine Soldiers' as soon as possible? ”
"Giggles, of course, it's sooner rather than later." Brother Zhu Wu sneered: "However, there is a more important thing to do, that is, to speed up the development of the domestic economy, so that the people can deeply experience the 'imperial grace' in the abundance of food and clothing, so that they will work hard to have babies and fight in the army." ”
"Trying to have a baby? Conscription for war? This ...... "————" gurgles, there is nothing here and that. Brother Xuwu said with a solemn face: "The 'Fifteen Indisputable Countries' stipulated by your ancestors' teachings do not include the Western Regions Domains, Mobei Mongolia and Liaodong Jurchen. Therefore, you must send troops to sweep through the north within ten years! ”
"Uh...... This one...... The new army is being prepared and trained, including various arsenals, which are also being built in a hurry, and it will take at least two or three years to generate sufficient combat strength, and the key is the question of money! Zhu Youzhen looked around at the back of everyone and said embarrassedly: "I want to exempt the people of the world from the 'poll tax', this money ......"
"Giggles, money is a piece of! In the eyes of cultivators, the most useless thing is money, which is not as good as dung! After urging my brother to laugh, his face sank and said: "Gold and jade, you can't eat if you're hungry, you can't wear clothes when you're cold, it's not as good as grain and mulberry hemp." In this way, the slag and stones in this 'silver hole' will be given to you. ”
"Dirt? Stones? Master, what do you mean ...... "————" giggles, the reason why this 'Silver Cave' is called 'Silver Cave' is because there is a huge 'barite' vein hidden in this 'Dengyun Mountain', which can be cast and transformed into gold and silver after being infiltrated by instilling the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi with a large 'Spirit Gathering Array' for the teacher. ”
"Huh? Really? Could it be that Master can 'turn stones into gold'? Turning an entire vein into a treasure trove of gold and silver? Everyone was amazed and asked.
"Poof! You want to be beautiful! After hearing this, Brother Xuan glanced at the apprentices, and then sneered: "If the entire vein is turned into silver with white flowers, the validity period can only last for ten years at most, and if it becomes gold, it can only last for one year, after all, with the gradual loss of spiritual power, the stone will be revealed." ”
"Uh...... It turns out that all the gold and silver treasures are fake? It makes the disciples rejoice! "————" Giggles, who said it was fake? Isn't that true now? Open your eyes and take a good look! As soon as the words fell, Brother Xuan waved his hand and buckled out a floor tile and threw it to everyone.
"Oops! Gold Bricks? It's really heavy! Could it be made of pure gold? Everyone stared wide-eyed, while repeatedly scanning the perspective with their mental power, while poking with their fingernails, and finally couldn't help but open their mouths to bite, and found that they could still leave rows of tooth marks, and couldn't help but excitedly say: "It's really gold!" ”
At this time, everyone looked around at the ground again, and became excited every time they saw the golden light on a floor tile, and then looked at the whole palace, I don't know when it had become golden and brilliant, so they couldn't help but completely release their spiritual power, and everywhere they saw was all golden, and they were all golden!
"Uh...... Master, you are so rich, the entire cave is made of gold, you are simply rich in ancient and modern times! It seems that the question of money ......"
"Giggles, nerd, this is all conjured with spells, unless you can cultivate into a 'true immortal', you can cast a real 'immortal technique' and turn stones into gold!"
"Uh...... I see! Master, you have a point! It seems that if I can't cultivate into the 'True Immortal Body', I won't be able to live forever, and it will be difficult for me to get rid of the worldly fetters after all!" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh: "Since the shelf life of turning into gold is only one year, it is better to become silver insurance, and the credibility is important!" ”
"Giggles, just get it." Brother Zhu said with a smile: "Don't toss the people in the future, let them recuperate and recuperate, vigorously develop production, and the endless grain, poultry, and linen clothes that can't be eaten can be taken to the market to sell for money." When necessary, the government can purchase it at an affordable price and use it for disaster relief. ”
"Uh...... What Master said is extremely true. However, what if the ten years are up and all this silver is turned to stone? Isn't the reputation of the court ruined? ”
"Giggles, that's easy to do." Brother Zhu said with a smile: "First of all, the teacher will leave a mana mark on all the 'silver' that is about to be handed over to you in advance, and only those who have practiced the exercises passed on by the teacher can sense and distinguish the true from the false; ”
"Oh, I see! Sure enough, it's a good idea! After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads and applaud, but Zhu Youzhen was still not at ease, so he asked again: "But if there is too much money back, resulting in a shortage of silver circulating in the market, I am afraid it will affect prices, and eventually it will cause 'grain cheapness and hurt farmers', right?" This 'whip method' is still vivid! I don't know how to fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient silver circulation in the market? You can't mint a lot of copper coins, right? ”
"Giggles, use a large amount of copper coins instead of silver to circulate in the market, which can only be used in the country, after all, copper coins are only a small denomination currency, barely able to meet the daily trading needs of ordinary people. But once you do business with foreign countries, you still have to use gold and silver, and the key is that the amount of gold is too small! ”
"Uh...... Then, according to what the teacher said, only by finding a way to make more money can the fundamental problem be solved? But where is there so much silver? ”
"Giggles, just because there is no silver produced in China does not mean that there is no money abroad?" Brother Zhu Wu sneered: "Didn't you find that the shapes of 'ingots' such as 'gold ingots' and 'silver ingots' are all in the shape of 'ships' with concave middle and two warped ends?" Doesn't this mean that only by vigorously developing foreign trade, especially maritime trade, can we make a fortune? ”
"Uh...... I see! It seems that I still have to allow the people to go to the sea to do business, after all, relying on the government to monopolize overseas trade, although the profits are huge, but it is easy to breed corruption and corruption and pervert the law, it is better to let the 'government-run bank' and 'government-run pawn' provide an appropriate amount of loans to the people who lack land along the coast as the principal, and maybe they can also charge a lot of interest? Hehe, that's it. In addition, I also want to set up an ocean-going sailor to escort the coastal people! ”
"Giggles, you kid are enlightened again?" Brother Xuan said with a sneer: "However, as far as I know, the 'Old Port Xuanwei Division' set up by Emperor Taizong of your family seems to have been robbed a long time ago." Besides, the guy who robbed your 'enclave' is not among the 'non-levy', and is still at large! How is it? Cluck. ”
"Hmph, dare to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth? That's just looking for death! Zhu You said hideously after listening: "When the water master is trained, it will definitely be destroyed!" ”
In fact, the "Age of Discovery" in Europe began in the late 15th century, which made the world history of later generations undergo earth-shaking changes.
About 70 years before that, it was the Chinese of the Ming Dynasty who were far ahead in ocean navigation. Beginning in 1405, Zheng He's voyage to the West not only spread China's prestige and open up maritime trade to overseas countries, but also gave China an "enclave" in Southeast Asia - the "Old Port Propaganda and Consolation Division".
With an area of about 400 square kilometers and a current population of about 2 million, the "Old Port Publicity Division" is one of the top ten ports in Indonesia and the capital of Sumatra Province, Indonesia. At that time, "Palembang" was located in the southeast of Sumatra.
The "Propaganda and Comfort Division" was a military and political institution set up in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, responsible for conveying the imperial court decrees and comforting the people, and the local Chinese under the jurisdiction of the "Old Port Propaganda and Comfort Division" also considered themselves to be Chinese people. Therefore, according to later generations, it can theoretically be considered that this "enclave" also belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Ming Dynasty set up 9 long-standing Propaganda Divisions, why did it not include the "Old Port Propaganda Division"? This is because this "Ming Dynasty Overseas Official Institution" was established in 1407 and passively abolished in 1440, which lasted only 33 years, and the Ming Dynasty ceased overseas trade thereafter.
This "enclave" was very important to both the people and the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty could not eradicate the problem of "pirates" and "pirates" for a long time, so it implemented a "sea ban" across the board.
"Alright, now that the mission has been arranged, you all go your separate ways. The cultivation of the cultivation and the play of the play, as long as the regular and quantitative amount of money is received here for the teacher, and the money is returned to the reasonable investment. Brother Zhu said with a smile: "The northern border fortress and overseas trade are key breakthroughs, and the key is military training!" ”
"Thank you Master for your guidance, and I can't thank you enough. Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "Since the development of overseas trade can make a lot of money, should the 'Silk Road' on the northwest land be restarted?" After all, the 'Seven Guards of Kansai' of this dynasty has long been lost, and besides, the feudal domains of the Western Regions have long been dissatisfied with my Ming Dynasty! ”
"Giggles, it is precisely because of this that the development of land trade in the northwest must be equal to maritime trade, after all, Persia, Dashi and Daqin are all civilized countries rich in gold and silver! If you want to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the country, what you lack is not an inexhaustible supply of gold and silver treasures? ”
"Uh...... I see! It seems that the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition are also inevitable. "———— "Giggles, remember that 'robbers and merchants' are one and the same!" ”
