Chapter 201: Lao Zhu: He is more suitable to be an emperor than us!

Yangshan.

Xu has not been in charge of government for a long time, and he is not so tired.

Since Lao Zhu arrived in Yangshan, his body has gradually improved a lot.

It's a lot better.

He's an impatient character.

When I got better, I was busy reading books again.

Lao Zhu didn't read much when he was a child.

But he was very studious.

In the course of his life after that, even if he is on the battlefield, as long as he has a moment of leisure, he will seize the time to read and study.

Therefore, Lao Zhu, who has only attended the enlightenment school for one or two years, is only equivalent to the third grade of primary school by the standards of later generations, but through hard self-study, he has raised his cultural level to a very high level.

A large number of historical books are well read by him.

In later generations, it means that people who only have a third-grade elementary school education have completed all the courses of a bachelor's degree or even a master's degree on their own.

This is no exaggeration.

It shows his strong learning ability.

With such talent and perseverance, if you are born in a rich and noble family in a peaceful and prosperous era, you can also be a high school jinshi, and even the existence of a champion.

Even if he was born in a poor family, even if there is no room for rebellion, he can most likely change his life against the sky and create his own brilliant life.

After all, Lao Zhu's ability in all aspects is really too strong.

After reading the book today, he fell asleep on the recliner.

A eunuch waiting next to him began to report to him about the recent events in Beijing and all parts of Daming.

Although he didn't take care of the government.

But Da Ming's movements, Lao Zhu is clear.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has issued new treasure banknotes for several months, and today's ordinary people have already abandoned the original silver and copper coins and rushed to use the new banknotes."

"Officials and ordinary people are very welcoming to the new banknotes. They also gave the new banknote an alias, the renminbi. ”

"Listen, long live the lord, that's a good name!"

Lao Zhu was lying there, his eyes closed, but the expression on his face still changed a lot.

"Let's remember, when the new banknotes were first issued, the people didn't believe it, right?"

He opened his eyes and asked suddenly.

"Not really!"

The old eunuch said softly: "If you don't say His Royal Highness, he is really a genius." ”

"He first raised 100 million taels of silver through the issuance of treasury bonds."

"These people who don't believe in new banknotes, they want to exchange silver, so they open up for them to change."

"In the end, it was exchanged for tens of millions of taels of silver."

"Today, everyone also believes that the renminbi is equivalent to spending money for nothing, and there is no need to change it."

"Even, there are many people who have taken the initiative to exchange silver for RMB!"

Old Zhu Moran.

Long.

sighed: "We have always thought that the people in Wu and Yue are accustomed to copper coins, gold and silver, and we have exhausted all kinds of means and all kinds of severe punishment and strict laws, so that they can use the Ming treasure banknotes, and they just don't use them to live or die." ”

"For this reason, we have cut off many people's heads, but we still can't."

"Unexpectedly, now Xi'er actually uses this method to let the people use treasure money?"

"Good! All right! ”

He sighed.

"In the past, when Biao'er was here, he once told us that what kind of emperor there is, what kind of courtiers will there be, and there will be some people."

"If the emperor is the king of Yaoshun, the courtiers are naturally virtuous, and the people are naturally compliant."

"If the emperor is cruel, then the courtiers and the people will also regard the emperor as an enemy."

"We scolded him fiercely at the time, and when we become emperors, we must make the courtiers and the people fearful."

"Relying on benevolence alone, how can we win the world and sit firmly in the country?"

"If it's really so easy, we don't have to rebel with a knife, say it with our mouths, educate them with benevolence, and we can win the country, isn't that a big joke?"

"Those guys, but they are all afraid of power and not virtuous."

"Only take up the sword, kill, kill, kill...... Kill them all afraid of you, so that you can sit firmly and be a good emperor. ”

"That's how we conquered the world."

"But now it seems that we were wrong."

"Governing the world and fighting the world, it's not the same!"

"We killed so many people, and the people still don't need Daming treasure money."

"Only Xi'er's method can make them all accept."

When he said this, his face suddenly changed again, and he asked again: "Isn't it still stipulated that the new money can also buy grain from the state treasury, and the price is not allowed, I heard that there are not a few people who buy grain with the new money." ”

"How much grain is left in the treasury today?"

Lao Zhu is very concerned about this.

Food is the foundation of the country.

If you don't have food and keep a bunch of money, it's useless.

In the past, the Ming treasure banknotes could not buy grain from the imperial court, so there were no concerns about this.

But now Zhu Yunxi has changed his ways.

"Long live Lord, now the granaries all over the country are full of grain."

"His Royal Highness Taisun also ordered a lot of new granaries to be built."

"The grain in the Ming treasury has more than doubled compared with before."

The old eunuch's wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"What?" Lao Zhu's face changed, he got up from the recliner, and said in shock and puzzlement: "Why is this?" Did those people get new money and not buy food? ”

"Buy, but don't buy much." The old eunuch explained: "The people who took the new money and came to buy grain were poor people. ”

"They don't have much money in their hands, and they can't buy food with the old Daming treasure banknotes before. Later, I changed to a new banknote, so I naturally rushed to buy food. ”

"But they don't have much money, and they don't have a big granary at home, so they buy a little bit of food to eat, and the amount is not much."

"However, those rich and big families, when they heard that the imperial court was going to promote the planting of sweet potatoes on a large scale next year, they all thought that the price of grain was going to fall."

"So they rushed to sell the grain and exchange it for silver."

"The new money can be exchanged for silver at will, and they will all sell the grain they have to the court."

"They have a lot of grain and a lot of money."

"In this way, the grain in the treasury has not only not decreased, but more than doubled."

"Today's Daming, there is endless money and food in the treasury, His Royal Highness Taisun is really a genius in governing the country."

Lao Zhu's face suddenly seemed to freeze.

Immediately.

He laughed.

"Unexpectedly, let's hand over Daming to him to govern, it's only been such a short time, and he has governed Daming so well."

His voice stopped abruptly.

He seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to ask the old eunuch: "You say, our emperor, is it unqualified?" After governing the world for so long, the treasury has always run out of money, and there is not much food stored. ”

"Now, Xi'er can accumulate so much money and grain for the treasury, is he much better than us when he becomes the emperor?"

As soon as this question is raised, the old eunuch will be stumped.

This is completely a proposition!

Can he say that the emperor can't do it, or that the grandson can't do it?

Fortunately, after all, the old eunuch has been by Lao Zhu's side for many years, has rich experience, and is clever.

Although I was in a cold sweat when I was asked, I had already thought of the words of reply in my heart in an instant.

He pounced and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty is the Ming Jun who fights the world, and His Royal Highness the Taisun is a genius in governing the country and managing money."

"Your Majesty created the Ming Dynasty and created the foundation of eternity."

"His Royal Highness Taisun will carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, inherit His Majesty's will, and govern the world."

"Your Majesty and the grandson, each has its own duties, each has its own expertise, this destiny is the right thing to do, it should be passed down from generation to generation in the Ming Dynasty, generation after generation of Ming monarchs, a line for all generations, and the country is eternal."

"Well said!" Lao Zhu stood up, his old state faded away, and he was heroic.

"Our old Zhu family's country, there are successors!"

He was very happy and in a good mood.

"Go, the herald is ready to sing and dance, let's have a good drink tonight."

The old eunuch was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Lao Zhu's health is not good, and the imperial doctor repeatedly told him not to drink.

But the will of God is indisobedient.

At this moment, someone from outside came to report.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Taisun has come to ask for a meeting!"

"Pass, pass! What's the other report, let him in! ”

Lao Zhu said as he took three steps and made two steps, and went straight outside.
