Chapter 98: The Wealth of the World

Chu Zhen's words made the four of them have their own feelings.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words "emperor and general".

Li Qingzhao heard the "three obedience and four virtues".

Li Shimin heard Tang and Song poems again.

Lin Daiyu looked at him for a while, then lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Of course."

Chu Zhen smiled, "Each dynasty has its own cultural characteristics, and what future generations think is wrong, it is not necessarily wrong, but it is not in line with the present." ”

"Where's the footbinding?"

"Foot binding is definitely a bad custom, including burial, slaughter of cities, Ling Chi, etc."

Chu Zhen didn't mention one of Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite tortures - it is said that there is.

Porcelain made of clay can not be sold in the sea in addition to being used by people in China, and it must be too little silver to exchange porcelain for silver, wood, spices, etc.

He is definitely the most hated corrupt officials in all dynasties, and he is also the emperor who punished these corrupt officials the most.

"A large part of Zhang Ba is lazy, we gritted our teeth and bought it and went home."

Chu Zhen said: "The status of the imperial court officials is low, no one will take the initiative to send silver, or be cautious where you can get the silver, the corrupt officials should start from those places, and also eliminate the birth of corrupt officials from the system and methods." ”

"Chu Langjun." Lin Daiyu put forward the same opinion, "Gong Wen once said that there is no fixed amount of wealth in the sky, and no matter how few goods in the city are, they are also from here to there. ”

Chu Zhen said: "But embezzlement of hundreds of times is too late." ”

The two girls sat on the sofa on the left, afraid to speak.

You must know that the weather here in Nanyang is cold, and our rice cannot be harvested eight times a year. ”

"What did he say afterwards that the fire was consumed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Lin Daiyu, both of them were very interested in that and listened sloppily.

"Grain is converted into treasure money, and before the depreciation of treasure money, the income of Ming Dynasty officials was high."

Li Shimin was speechless.

But there are fewer Zhang Ba, who will find ways to make money, will be more lazy to farm, raise chickens, ducks, fish, go to the mountains to find herbs, hunt, and those with bad craftsmanship will cut bamboo outside the mountains and weave various things to sell, and so on.

Sima Guang did not use this to refute Wang Anshi's reforms, thinking that the imperial court made money from financial management, but the people were poor.

Zhang Ba, who has made money, will buy the goods I want again! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "A Zhizhou corrupted the law, and the people went to Beijing to denounce him, but they were arrested and tortured to death by the corrupt official. ”

"There is no one yet, and you can't change the bookkeeping method. The Longmen account that will appear in the middle and late Ming Dynasty is called double-entry accounting. ”

After Chu Zhen finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again, a large part of Zhang Ba?

"He wants to make the tired Zhang Ba lazy to make money?" Li Shimin asked.

The development of commerce and the decline of social vitality allowed capitalism to sprout and promote the development of steam engines, railways, textile machines, ocean-going trade, etc.

"That's not a matter of moderation, the government needs to guide and prevent over-mining."

"Huh."

Chu Zhen continued: "But after that, Zhang Ba went to the market and found a dazzling array of goods, beautiful window paper, silk clothes, exquisite tea utensils, and toys for big children, everything I wanted, but the money outside my pocket is enough, what will I do?" ”

Chu Zhen explained, Liu Guanzhi suddenly lost interest, thought about it sloppily, and said with a smile:

"Of course, what he said is wrong, but in all dynasties, corruption is a problem, even if the harsh criminal law is used, there is still no small number of court officials who are corrupt and pervert the law."

"You thinkβ€”"

Several people looked at me.

Li Shimin is also a corrupt official who is not suspected of killing at all.

"Does wealth lie in communication?" Li Qingzhao asked.

said so little, not a sentence:

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, feeling very bored by my statement.

Li Shimin laughed hotly, "After becoming an official, which of these people is honest and upright?" When you retire, officialdom changes. ”

It's the depreciation of treasure money again!

Chu Zhen said: "All in all, abundant and exquisite goods can stimulate people to work less, which in turn will increase the number of goods in the market, forming a virtuous circle." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Emperor Hongwu.

The power of the emperor was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

People have no money outside their hands, and there will be no market for glass, soap and other goods made by new technologies.

Li Qingzhao spoke, and Li Shimin looked at me again, seeing that the future Emperor Taizong had nothing to say.

"To rectify the rule of officials and curb the trend of corruption, it is necessary to employ people, and people are fundamental. Those who are honest are officials, and if their subordinates and colleagues are not corrupt, they will be denounced, so that those who want to be corrupt must be cautious. ”

"How?"

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, special people had no iron pot, and there was also a saying that there was no stir-frying.

"When the farm is not working, Zhang Ba goes to the county seat."

"The current method is to join the regulatory body, similar to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there is no way to set up a source of small assets for court officials, and anyone who is vague about where his small family property comes from will be supervised."

"Did Zhang Ba buy it?"

"It is very reasonable to believe that the fewer commodities under the market, the fewer people will choose, porcelain, tea, handicrafts, all kinds of eating, drinking, and playing, just like Bianjing in the Song Dynasty."

Chu Zhen Younai changed his words: "This Zhang Ba went to the market, and he always wanted to buy salt and clothes, but I went to the market and found that the things sold were not fine salt, eggs, iron pots, coarse cloths and other things that were not outside the house. ”

"Something is wrong!"

Chu Zhen returned to the prosperous era and said: "The history books you learned when you were studying are very concerned about one thing in each dynasty and generation, and this is not the development of the commodity economy. ”

"Why can't Ling Chi use it?"

"Why?"

"Why is it so high?" Liu Guanzhi immediately looked at me, "I have calculated, the food distributed is enough for us to feed our family, and I have returned the treasure money, and I have not been exempted from military service and tax exemption!" ”

"Yes. Xiao Ming has not yet been apportioned into the mu, but in the future, before the conscription is converted into two silver, there will be fire consumption, and the officials use the excuse of smelting silver to lose money and collect less silver from the people. ”

Valuing business.

Chu Zhen said: "Before the fire is returned to the public, officials can be corrupt under that item. The same is true for other places, where the system is reformed to increase opportunities for corruption. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is no iron pot to sell in the market, which is already very good. Li Qingzhao said with emotion.

Chu Zhen said to us: "The clay outside the earth, the herbs and bamboo outside the mountains are all wealth, and people need to make them into various commodities before they can become wealth.

"A few hundred times is enough to destroy ten families!"

"Surely everyone goes out of the mountain to dig herbs, is it hollowing out the mountain?" Li Shimin also asked.

"Killing pays for life, I agree."

"Something is wrong!"

Chu Zhen looked at Lin Daiyu, the talented man who had swam Bianjing City several times, and he could withstand the prosperity of Bianjing City the most.

"Zhang Ba went to the county seat, it's too far."

"The Ming Dynasty officials were too high." Liu Guan said.

"It's not enough to kill!"

From bad habits to corrupt officials, the topic has diverged too far.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat there and said indifferently: "Martyrdom and slaughtering the city are all unkind practices, and I also agree." But Ling Chi's punishment, in my opinion, has to be used to deter those corrupt officials! ”

"That's a bad method, these corrupt officials always use the greedy money to buy houses, servants, and beautiful maids, and I give orders to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the property of various officials."

Li Shimin said casually.

That also represents the view of a small number of ancients, based on agriculture, the wealth of heaven can increase, so the status of merchants is high.

Chu Zhen didn't go to a long explanation of the article, but gave an example:

"The other part of Zhang Bahui was abducted and deceived and got money slowly.
