"Why did you get involved with Your Majesty again?"

"Also, you don't know Your Majesty, why do you say that he has no integrity, what kind of old man?"

"Your Majesty is the emperor, the son of heaven, you are simply empty words."

"Also, you are a servant of His Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"

"No, you have to make it clear to us, why do you say that?"

On the carriage that is not too bumpy,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the side, whether it was the sitting posture of the big horse golden knife, or the extremely serious expression, as well as the obvious look of scrutiny in his eyes, were enough to show his state of mind at the moment.

He Ye Qing slandered the emperor without any basis, this is a big crime of peeling skin and cramps, this is not something that can be solved with a single education.

If he didn't say that he was ugly, even if he won the battle and recovered the jade seal of the country, and even paid enough agricultural taxes, his life would definitely not be easy.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang wrote down this in the 'grudge' ledger in his heart, Ye Qing, who was sitting in the back seat, only felt that this Master Guo was a little interesting, did he really regard himself as General Guo?

If it were a different person, he would directly kick this so-called General Guo down.

But Ye Qing wouldn't do it, because this old man Guo actually had Zhu Yuanzhang's ears and eyes, but he Ye Qing deliberately left behind as a witness!

Before this battle is over, he must be allowed to witness here that he Ye Qing has the ability to command the war, and he Ye Qing has the ability to rebel at any time.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to put the eight words 'Pifu is not guilty, but he is guilty' on the door of his Ye Qing's head, he has to rely on this old man Guo who can talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing not only kicked him out, but was also ready to teach him a good lesson.

In fact, Ye Qing was not going to say these things, because even if this Lao Guo conveyed his words to Zhu Yuanzhang's ears 100%, Zhu Yuanzhang might not be able to listen.

But since that's all that has been said, let's take this lesson to the table!

As for how much he can listen to Master Guo, whether he will change when he conveys it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and what Zhu Yuanzhang will do after hearing it, it is none of his business as a dying person.

In his Ye Qing's opinion, after this battle was over, he confirmed the crime of 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty' in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

But after all, he Ye Qing won the battle, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him, he had to find a reason, and his pitiful agricultural tax just gave Zhu Yuanzhang a reason to kill him!

"This is the situation of not harming the country and the people, and being named and killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Master Guo in front of him, and said solemnly: "Are you interrogating this official, or are you asking this official?" ”

"Interrogate the official, you are not qualified, please consult the officer, your attitude is wrong!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a sentence, he really had the urge to hack this person to death with his own hands.

Of course, in his eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he didn't have weapons, he could easily kill the powerless civil official in front of him.

It's just that in terms of the current situation, he really can't kill this civilian official who has won the hearts of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took a strong breath, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Ye, please advise." ”

Ye Qing saw that Master Guo was clasping his fists and saluting in front of him, so he nodded with satisfaction, regardless of whether he was sincere or fake, the attitude on face was in place.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing actually directly cocked Erlang's legs and closed his eyes.

Ye Qing closed his eyes and said, "This official is a lesson for you, and it is not wrong to close your eyes and recuperate." ”

"The official doesn't need to open his eyes to know that you are staring at it now, and you want to strangle the official, but the official wants to tell you that before the official opens his eyes, he will definitely be able to convince you!"

"I must be able to tell you that you think that Your Majesty is an old man who has no integrity at all!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing was still lying with Erlang's legs crossed and his eyes closed, looking very leisurely, and there was even a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

Under such an audio-visual impact, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay! ”

"If you can say that we also feel that Your Majesty is an old man who has no integrity at all, we will do our best to give you this general, before this battle is over, you let us go east, we will never go west, you let us stand up, we will never sit down."

"But if you don't convince us,"

Speaking of this, although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak and stopped, his voice was instantly low.

Ye Qing just said lazily: "If you don't convince you, what can you do with this official?" ”

"You, you can't talk about it this day, just talk about it, don't talk about it!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, he turned around directly, put his feet on the side seat, and sulked with his hands.

It's so infuriating, and it's so real!

In this one-third of an acre, even if he Ye Qing said that he didn't convince him, he really couldn't do anything to Ye Qing!

And at this moment,

Ye Qing opened his eyes slightly, looking at General Guo at this moment.

But he just glanced at it and hurriedly closed his eyes, it was too spicy for his eyes!

What kind of sitting position is this?

This is the sitting posture of the little daughter-in-law who ignores people after being angry.

He is such a strong man in armor, and he is really disgusting to look at sitting like this, but Ye Qing doesn't blame him, even he himself feels that he is a bit of a bully.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing also decided not to bully Master Guo anymore, he closed his eyes and went straight to the point: "You have been Your Majesty's personal soldier, and now you can talk to Your Majesty, you should know why Your Majesty issued treasure banknotes, right?" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately left behind the grievances he had suffered before.

He only thought it was very strange, scolding him for being an honest old man, what else could he have to do with the purpose of issuing treasure money?

Driven by curiosity, Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight again, glared at Ye Qing, who was still closing his eyes, and said: "My Huaxia has been poor in copper since ancient times, but the commodity economy has reached an unprecedented level under the development of the Song Dynasty. ”

"There is no way, Your Majesty can only order the promulgation of the 'Money Law', set up the Treasure Money Lifting Division, and issue the banknote 'Daming Treasure Bank' in the name of Zhongshu Province."

"The banknote law stipulates that the people cannot trade in gold and silver, let alone barter, and can only use treasure banknotes for transactions of 100 wen and above, and copper coins can be used for transactions of 99 wen and below."

"Your Majesty's move is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how light the banknotes are, you can bring a pile of paper wherever you go."

"Your Majesty has done such a great good deed, why is it that he has no integrity at all?"

Ye Qing closed his eyes and nodded: "Don't worry, this official has his own reason." ”

"This official asks you again, at the beginning of Your Majesty's issuance of treasure banknotes, what was the denomination of each, and what was the prescribed exchange ratio of gold, silver and copper coins?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly: "The original banknotes are one yuan, five hundred yuan, four hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, and one hundred yuan, which have always been equivalent to one thousand copper coins or one tael of silver, and four yuan is equivalent to one tael of gold. ”

Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are worthy of being a businessman, I remember it really clearly, this official will ask you again, what is the maximum excess now, and the people are holding treasure money, can they find the government to exchange the corresponding gold, silver and copper coins?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang still said bluntly: "There was a battle last year, and I found that the excess was too small to spend, and then issued ten and one hundred treasure banknotes. ”

"The people exchange treasure money for gold, silver and copper coins?"

"How can the people exchange their treasure money for gold, silver, and copper?"

"This regulation means that the people can exchange the corresponding gold, silver and copper coins with their own gold, silver and copper coins, but the people cannot use the treasure money to exchange the corresponding gold, silver and copper coins with the government."

"Your Majesty's move is to gather the world's gold, silver and copper in the center."

"In a few years, Your Majesty wants to continue to issue gold and silver treasure banknotes, as well as smaller denomination copper money and treasure banknotes, and completely abolish the gold, silver and copper money transactions on the market!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a look of pride in his eyes.

Not bad

In his opinion, his policy can be said to be very wise, which not only solves the dilemma that copper coins cannot meet the existing market circulation, but also solves the dilemma that the imperial court does not have enough money to spend.

Not only that, but it is also reasonable to gather the world's gold, silver and copper in the center!

He really couldn't understand how such a perfect strategy of killing three birds with one stone could be linked to dishonesty?

Ye Qing listened to the narration of Master Guo in front of him, and only felt that he was very professional.

His remarks are also very much in line with the identity of a wealthy businessman in this era and an imperial businessman who can talk to Zhu Yuanzhang!

But he is also as stupid as Zhu Yuanzhang, completely ignoring the 'reserve system'!

Ye Qing just closed his eyes and smiled lightly: "He still wants to issue gold and silver treasure banknotes, and he also wants to replace the copper coin transactions under 100 wen with treasure banknotes?" ”

"After eating a big fat pig, even flies are not spared?"

"It seems that our Emperor His Majesty is really the most ugly emperor in history!"

When Ye Qing said this, he really made a heartfelt evaluation.

Judging from the history of the Ming Dynasty that he knew, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet issued gold and silver treasure banknotes, but he had a complete ban on copper coin trading in the late Hongwu period.

At first, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have such a big appetite!

Now it seems that it is just because the conditions are not enough that he issued gold and silver treasure banknotes!

In fact, in Ye Qing's view, whether it is the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty or the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, they are all good things that can promote social development.

But at the same time, it is also a desire expander full of temptation.

Without sufficient reserves and reputation, rashly issuing Daming treasure banknotes is looking for death.

Judging from the historical materials that Ye Qing understands, the Ming treasure banknotes issued by Zhu Yuanzhang basically withdrew from the historical stage in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The speed of its depreciation is not a little faster than that of Song Jiaozi, and it is really to the point where it is hard to wipe the buttocks.

And the culprits who caused this evil result are Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, father and son.

For the Northern Expedition, both father and son issued treasure banknotes ruthlessly, which directly accelerated the depreciation of treasure money.

Of course, the fundamental reason for the rapid depreciation of treasure banknotes is that Zhu Yuanzhang's heart for issuing treasure banknotes is not right.

The fact that he was not prepared to spit out after exchanging paper for physical gold and silver is enough to show that he does not have the concept of 'reserves' and 'reputation' in his heart.

The people are not stupid, and after being exploited for a long time, they naturally don't trust the treasure money!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing only felt that he scolded Zhu Yuanzhang for being an honest old man lightly, he was simply a humanoid gluttony who only ate and didn't vomit!

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was scolded for his ugly appearance, was so angry that he was about to refute it.

But at this moment, Ye Qing, who was still with his eyes closed, continued to teach strongly: "Do you know how the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty turned into waste paper? ”

"This official told you that it was caused by the flood of issuance!"

"The Song Dynasty is okay, at first it knew that a certain percentage of reserves should be prepared, that is to say, if one million guan is issued, the imperial court will prepare hundreds of thousands of equivalent gold and silver."

"At the beginning of the popularization of Jiaozi, the people did not trust it very much, but they were forced by the laws of the imperial court to accept it, but they would also exchange paper money for gold, silver and copper coins to verify whether Jiaozi was really equivalent to gold and silver."

"At first, you could exchange banknotes for gold and silver at will, and the people naturally trusted Jiaozi, and after establishing trust, Jiaozi really became 'money'!"

"But at this time, in order to further exploit the people, the emperor of the Song Dynasty issued more and more jiaozi, but the reserves did not rise but shrank!"

"Over time, the people find that they can't exchange enough gold and silver, and there will be a phenomenon that the people will block the door of the government's money house with their jiaozi."

"And the way those officials solve things is often to disperse with sticks!"

"If you do this, you will naturally depreciate your son, and the credibility of the court will be lost!"

"And the credibility of the court is lost, and the end of the dynasty is not far away!"

finally

When Ye Qing talked about the relationship between the depreciation of Jiaozi and the fall of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill in his back.

At this moment, Ye Qing continued: "And the Daming treasure banknote issued by our majesty, as the son of Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty, can be said to be 'blue out of blue and better than blue'!" ”

"At least at the beginning, Dad prepared some reserves, not to mention the son's direct reserves, and also used the decree to stipulate that only the court is allowed to exchange gold, silver and copper coins in the hands of the people, but the people are not allowed to use treasure money to exchange gold, silver and copper coins in the hands of the court!"

"What kind of behavior is this?"

"It's shameless!"

"This is the act of eating people without spitting out bones!"

"Now it seems that this official also made the mistake of using inappropriate words!"

"Our Majesty is not an honest old man, he is just a human-type gluttony who eats people and does not spit out bones!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Ye Qing with his eyes closed and witty words, his powerful big hands unconsciously wanted to go to Ye Qing's neck.

He wanted to strangle Ye Qing now, and he also wanted to tear up this stinky mouth that scolded the emperor more ruthlessly than Wei Zheng now.

But he also had to admit that the scolding was justified.

He really ignored the two things of reserves and the credibility of the imperial court, and if this continued, the Ming treasure banknote would really depreciate faster than the Song Dynasty.

And his Ming Dynasty will also be destroyed faster than the Song Dynasty!

After realizing this, Zhu Yuanzhang held back his anger and looked at Ye Qing, who was still calming with his eyes closed.

In his opinion, since Ye Qing has such an opinion, he must have a solution to help him solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang forced a smile again, and forcibly said politely: "Lord Ye, you are really a genius!" ”

"But don't say it so ugly, what kind of gluttony that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, no, not at all."

"At most, Your Majesty has done something bad with good intentions!"

"Please also ask Lord Ye to continue to teach the solution to the remedy, let's find a way to remind Your Majesty when we go back, we can speak more in front of Your Majesty, wouldn't it be more beneficial for our future cooperation?"

Finally, Ye Qing opened his eyes.

Ye Qing looked at this smiling face with a good attitude, and just said seriously: "Do I close my eyes and say that you think Your Majesty is an old man who has no integrity at all?" ”.
