Chapter 193: Xu Qin talks about the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty
Before the wedding, Xu Qin met Zhu Di.
However, before that, countless pieces of music impeached Xu Qin. Impeachment and provocation are all conceivable.
There are even those who are impeached and oppressed by force and do not levy the country, violating the system of Taizu. There is even an impeachment of Xu Qin who wants to rebel.
Of course, Chen Ying's impeachment is the most interesting, and he actually impeached Xu Qin for going on an overseas expedition and bringing a woman. Take the lead in violating military regulations.
"Tell me about you, you still have women with you in the war. What do you think about that? Zhu Di asked Xu Qin.
"I went out for a walk, and I didn't want to fight. I just thought about taking my maid to fish. I can't send them back even if they fight. ”
Xu Qin said as a scoundrel.
Zhu Di shook his head and smiled, this kid still looks so unserious.
For more than a year, because of Xu Qin's tossing, the Ming Dynasty tossed in millions of taels of income.
Overseas goods and all kinds of grain are pouring into Daming. Even the sturdy labor of the Wa Kingdom. This greatly enhanced the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.
The renewal is still gradually solving the problem of the Japanese invaders, and Zuo Liangmou is still recruiting ronins in the Japanese country, and then continues to rob those Ming smugglers.
Next, Xu Qin and Zhu Di reported on the main policies of the Ming Dynasty in the Jurchen, Korea, and Wa kingdoms in the future. and the main actions of the future of the Hai Fan Division.
The most important thing is that the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army will be changed to the Governor's Office of the Sixth Army. Xu Qin formally proposed the establishment of the Ming Navy. Zheng He could serve as the first Admiral of the Ming Navy.
In addition to Liujiagang, a naval fleet was established in the north and south.
In the next ten years, the Wa Kingdom and Korea will be truly brought under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. In the next twenty years, the entire Western Ocean will be truly controlled within the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
Really let the Japanese country, Korea, and the West give blood transfusion to the Ming Dynasty. Instead of sucking blood from Da Ming's body.
"Overseas products are abundant, and what we see now is only a drop in the bucket and the tip of the iceberg. We don't want to dominate the seas now, and one day danger will come from the seas. Only by controlling the ocean can we make Daming slowly become the center of the world. ”
Xu Qin paints a beautiful blueprint.
"The enemy of the sea is nothing but the disease of scabies, and the north is the main problem. Meng Yuan is immortal, and my heart is uneasy. ”
Zhu Di chatted with Xu Qin, and came to the greenhouse of the palace while walking. Bigger than Xu Qin's family. Several concubines are taking care of vegetables in Dapeng. It's a little bit of winter fun for them.
Xu Qin looked at this greenhouse, and said in his heart that this Zhu Di is really at the forefront of the trend of the times.
The things he planted in Haifan Si were basically planted here, especially the peppers.
This is the essence of the secret recipe of Xu's hot pot base. Now it is full of greenhouses planted by Zhu Di.
What eggplant, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, radishes are readily available. There are even quite a few peach trees in bloom.
"In fact, the Mongols can't kill them all, and they can't kill them all. Qiu Fu is a waste, the formula of the soap has been given to him, so he didn't get some mutton fat to make soap.
This hot pot has also been promoted for so long, why don't you get some Mongolian mutton. It is said that wool can also be spun into cloth. Wouldn't it be good to let the Mongols raise sheep, war horses, and cattle for us? ”
Xu Qin babbled and picked a chili pepper and tasted it.
Zhu Di picked a cucumber and took a bite to ponder Xu Qin's words.
"The strategy of restraint is right, Qiu Fu is a fierce general, but he is not a businessman, and it is not that Wenchen will not think about these problems.
You're right, but sooner or later there will be a war, and if it is dispersed, it will be the same as the Wa Kingdom, and a few more kings will be sealed, so that they can be scattered, and then the Ming Dynasty will be restrained. ”
Zhu Di said.
Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty are old enemies, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, they are still not at ease with Mongolia and want to completely eliminate it.
It's a pity that after Zhu Di, it became a defensive posture towards Mongolia, and even later, those uncompetitive descendants were often pressed and beaten by the Mongols.
Two hundred years later, Mongolia is finished, and so is the Ming Dynasty. The rise of the Jurchens knocked both of them down.
Zhu Di was explaining to Xu Qin why he didn't support him in his crusade against the Japanese state. Destroy the country in World War I.
It is also telling Xu Qin that the real enemy of the Ming Dynasty is in the northern grasslands.
The knight Xu Qin did not have such a great appetite and wanted to destroy the Wa Kingdom. If you really occupy and destroy the Japanese state, it will not be beneficial.
Supporting the puppets and squeezing out the Japanese state is the best choice.
"Neither the Wa Kingdom nor Korea was eagerly swallowed by each other, and once occupied, it would cause a never-ending backlash. It is better to support the puppets and constantly absorb blood to support the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty. For twenty years, the minister did not think of occupying the Wa Kingdom and Korea. ”
Xu Qin also made it clear to Zhu Di.
"When the Mongols were tamed, it was time to think about it. It's just that the Jiaozhi rebellion really didn't come at the right time. Xu Qin said.
Zhu Di also hated the root of his teeth, how long did Zhang Fu come back, he was made a mess by those people.
After the cochin is pacified, one person needs to sit in charge. He was hesitating.
"If the Northern Expedition, can the money of the Ming Royal Silver be used?" Zhu Di asked another question.
"No, the Ming Royal Silver Trumpet is actually a preparation for the minister to solve the treasure banknote. And it's also royal credit, and it can't be messed with. ”
Xu Qin told Zhu Di that Zhu Di was asking like this, and he must be worried about the silver number's reserves of more than eight million taels of silver.
That's not a joke, Zhu Di moves today, and Hai Fan Si will have to collapse tomorrow.
"Once there is a run on the merchants, and the silver number cannot be given, it will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Once the people have no confidence in the country's credit, all future decrees will be doubted. There will also be suspicion of the royal family. ”
Xu Qin said. He was worried that Zhu Di didn't understand economics like Zhu Yuanzhang, so he tried to explain it clearly.
"You want to solve the treasure money problem? How to fix it? Zhu Di asked curiously, Xu Qin had been thinking too long.
"Your Majesty, may I ask a question, how can a few words printed on a piece of paper be used as gold and silver?" Xu Qin asked.
Zhu Di thought for a moment.
"Because it is sealed by the imperial court, it is naturally money." Zhu Di replied shamelessly.
"Then the court used treasure money to buy things from the people, can the people buy things back from the court with treasure money? Or is it okay to pay taxes entirely with treasure money? Xu Qin asked.
Zhu Di was speechless for a while, he knew that it would not work. When the imperial court collected taxes, it was stipulated that treasure money could not be used.
Because you can't spend it when you get it back. Can't buy anything. It can only be popular among the people, and the court itself does not use it.
The minister was given a salary, but the minister was unwilling to ask for it. Now it's time for a dissonance ratio of one to thirty.
"But Song uses Jiaozi, and Yuan also uses treasure money, why is there no such thing." Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, when the Song Dynasty used Jiaozi, for convenience, Jiaozi could be exchanged for copper coins. Yuan uses treasure money because treasure money can be exchanged for gold and silver. And there are too many in Daming.
The people's hard harvest for a year was exchanged for a treasure banknote, but with this treasure banknote, they could not buy half a year's harvest. In other words, more than half a year's harvest was taken away by the imperial court in vain, which is robbery. ”
Xu Qin said bitterly. It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out to be a harm to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di's face was a little ugly, and he was not happy to be robbed. But he couldn't say anything, he could only stiffen up. for it was the work of his father.
"What are you going to do? Can the Royal Silver do this? Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, it is a matter of credit, and now the people have lost confidence in the treasure money. But they were confident in the silver ticket.
What is the difference between a silver ticket and a treasure banknote? It's all just paper. Because silver tickets can be exchanged for treasure money, they can't. ”
Xu Qin said.
"But how do you collect those treasure money and exchange it for gold and silver?"
Zhu Di didn't believe it, he didn't know how many treasure money there were outside. The imperial court also recycles it every year, but it's a pity that it's a drop in the bucket.
This is the reason why the ministers beat gongs and drums to carry silver back and forth, in the final analysis, to establish an impression that the common people know that the royal silver is rich. Able to accept silver tickets with silver numbers.
If you have a silver ticket in your hand, and the silver number can be cashed out at any time, will you still be in a hurry to redeem it? ”
Xu Qin said.
"If he is not in a hurry to redeem it, in fact, you can issue additional silver tickets. Isn't that still a lie? Zhu Di suddenly grasped the key to it.
"No, Your Majesty, this is credit. The additional issuance of silver will never exceed a certain percentage. Not all of them have the will to redeem it. Xu Qin said.
"I see, it's a long-term plan." Zhu Di said disappointedly.
He was in a hurry, anxious to use the money, and anxious to solve the problem of treasure money.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the money of the Royal Silver Trumpet cannot be moved, but the Royal Silver Trumpet can give out this money."
Xu Qin said.
"Isn't that the same thing?" Zhu Di asked suspiciously.
"No, it's not the same thing. His Majesty can authorize the Ming Imperial Silver to sell the bonds of the Northern Expedition. After the war, the spoils of war were returned to the common people with interest.
Daming Royal Silver can be guaranteed. After the end of the war, the Ming royal silver trumpet was cashed out to the people with interest. And the household department can slowly repay the money to the Daming Yinhao. ”
Xu Qin said. completely blinded Zhu Di.
"Isn't that redundant? Why so much toss? Zhu Di didn't understand. Why can't you come directly from the household?
"Your Majesty, this is credit. Establish the credit of the Royal Silver Horn. Everyone knows that the Royal Silver is rich. And the people are worried that the household will use the treasure money to cash the principal and interest?
To put it mildly, the common people have lost confidence in the household department. The treasure banknotes of the household department are feared, and the silver bills of the Ming royal silver number are loved by everyone. ”
Xu Qin said.
"Aren't you afraid that the household department owes you the money of the silver number and will pay it back to you with treasure money?" Zhu Di asked suspiciously.
"The household is Daming's, and the royal silver trumpet is His Majesty's. Why should I be afraid of that? Xu Qin stretched out his hands and said.
Zhu Di couldn't wait for a cucumber to be slapped on his beaten face. Thinking about it after all, he is a big general who can fight, and a cucumber is not suitable for pumping in the face, and kicking him in the ass.
Several concubines quickly turned their heads when they saw it, after all, they watched the emperor beat the minister, and this saw where the minister could still live.
"Bastard, I just told you something serious, then play a scoundrel, is this like a minister?" Zhu Di reprimanded angrily.
Xu Qin's face is thicker than the bend of the city wall in the capital, where would he care about this.
"Originally, this world belongs to your Zhu family, so what can I do if I don't care for me."
Xu Qin muttered, only to be kicked again.
"Bastard, no bones. Didn't you think of admonishing you? Zhu Di taught him the way to be a minister.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, I am a general, and it is my business to die on the battlefield. Forget the advice. Sometimes I think I can be a good servant. ”
Xu Qin scratched the place where he was kicked and said.
"Fuck you, I'll let you be a minister, I'll teach you a lesson for your grandfather......" Zhu Di picked up the watering scoop and was about to smash Xu Qin.
Xu Qin pulled a cucumber and ran.
The concubine who was full of greenhouses was dumbfounded, it was the first time she saw someone who dared to talk to His Majesty like this, and it was a miracle that she was not thrown into the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison with a thousand knives.
When he went out, he met the prince, and Xu Qin, who was like a chicken flying and a dog jumping, startled the prince.
"Cousin, what's the matter? Picked up by a dog? The prince's fat body said in fright.
"Be cautious, see you later." Xu Qin rushed all the way.
The prince was stunned, shook his fat face and turned around, and saw his father Zhu Di rushing out with a wooden scoop in his hand.
"Who do you say is the dog?" Zhu Di asked the prince.
"Xu Qin, this kid runs faster than a dog." The prince was unhindered, and he scolded Xu Qin when he opened his mouth.
"It's a good thing he's fast, or I would have broken his dog's leg." Zhu Di angrily walked away with a wooden scoop behind his back.
"Scoop ......," the prince hurriedly walked over to remind.
Zhu Di handed it to the eunuch angrily and followed the prince. After walking for a while, I thought about it, and it seemed that I hadn't finished talking to Xu Qin about something.
What a bastard who wants to punch him every time.
