"Okay! It's all as you say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and pushed the jade seal directly in front of Zhu Xiongying, signaling his eldest grandson to do whatever he wanted.
Zhu Xiongying is also unambiguous. They are all members of his own family. What belongs to my grandfather is mine.
Take the jade seal and draw up the imperial edict with a pen.
With a snap, the jade seal was covered.
"Grandpa, look at it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took it over and after checking for Zhu Xiongying's omissions, the imperial edict was finally finalized.
It also decided the fate of countless people on the Japanese island.
Zhu Yuanzhang now basically discusses the implementation of policies with his eldest grandson.
The simple and crude method used by Lao Zhu worked well for a while, but it still left hidden dangers.
Even if Lao Zhu doesn’t explode when he is alive, he will rebound violently after his death.
The eldest grandson's method was like peeling off the cocoon, basically taking all kinds of hidden dangers into consideration.
Now Lao Zhu's methods of governing the country are becoming more and more technical.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
The fundamental reason why Zhu Xiongying was eager to use troops against Japan was because he was interested in the silver mine on Japan. This silver mine is definitely an extremely rare resource.
Moreover, Japan is prone to disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis.
However, the silver mine on the island of Japan is so huge that it would take hundreds of years to dig it out.
Even if there is no hatred between the country and the family,
A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade.
Why does your little Japanese island have such a big silver mine?
Gold and silver have always been the hard currency of trade, both at home and abroad.
The currency issued by the country is only based on the country's reputation. When a country loses its strength, these banknotes are just paper.
The reason why the U.S. dollar in the beautiful country is so valuable is that it links gold to the U.S. dollar and the U.S. dollar to world currencies.
After such an operation, it is difficult to lose money.
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying wants to open up all the gold and silver mines around him and hold as much gold and silver as possible in his hands.
in addition,
Some extremely precious resources, such as oil, have basically never been exploited. It is even said that no one in this era knows the value of these resources.
Only Zhu Xiongying knows!
The resources of the entire earth are at the mercy of Zhu Xiongying to exploit!
This is a treasure unique to Ming Dynasty!
And the value of mining silver mines doesn’t stop here.
When economic policies were implemented in ancient times, where were the productive forces?
It’s not like you just slap your head and say, I want to change the method of whipping, I want to change the method of whipping, and it will be done.
Even if there is a system, it is useless.
No matter how awesome the system is, it cannot change everyone's situation.
A whip method is to work slowly and carefully,
The reason why the whip method can be promoted is because Lao Zhu was the founding emperor, and the official administration in Hongwu years was relatively clear, and there were not so many miscellaneous taxes.
If in a few years or more than ten years, these officials are completely established, there will be endless ways to amass money and overcome taxes.
The one-whip method has now been fully promoted in the Ming Dynasty, but there is still a problem.
There is not enough money.
The core of a whip method is to collect money by collecting it.
We want everyone in the Ming Dynasty to have money in their hands, and then let the money circulate completely.
That's why Zhu Xiongying is so eager to open a silver mine.
When the silver mine is opened, the whipping method is completed, and preparations can be made for the next step of allotment.
in addition,
There is another advantage of circulating money.
Promote business prosperity.
There is absolutely no conflict between mercantry and agriculture.
Even if Zhu Xiongying wants to develop business, it will still be based on agriculture.
If agriculture is completely abandoned in order to develop commerce, then we are working towards the subjugation of the country.
If you don't develop agriculture on such a vast arable land, wouldn't you be cutting off your arms?
But now that I have money, all problems are solved.
If you have money, you can really do whatever you want.
At the national level, the economic base determines the superstructure. Having money and knowing how to use it can solve 99% of the problems.
"Eldest grandson, recently we heard that you brought in craftsmen to give lessons to the princes?"
Zhu Xiongying quickly explained,
"Grandpa, grandson..."
Seeing Zhu Xiongying's panic, Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and looked at his eldest grandson lovingly,
Waving his hands,
"Grandson, we don't blame you.
We also think you did a good job!
We have always felt that these Confucian scholars are of little use.
It's all empty talk. It's not as useful as teaching some practical skills. "
Zhu Xiongying laughed,
I almost forgot, Lao Zhu is an absolute doer, and he will use whatever tricks are useful. Grandpa never cares about any school of thought.
We don't have enough food to eat. We want to start a rebellion.
Let’s just believe in Buddhism,
The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and Confucian support is needed.
We just believe in Confucianism,
If the country has no money, we will destroy the Buddha.
Only in this way do you not stick to one method and regard everything as a means.
It took Lao Zhu to get to where he is today.
"elder brother?"
Zhu Yunxi looked in. Zhu Xiongying greeted Zhu Yunxi to come in.
Zhu Yunxi bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile, extremely satisfied.
Zhu Yunxi approached Zhu Xiongying. There were places to sit everywhere, so he had to sit next to Zhu Xiongying.
"Brother, they were the ones responsible for the Lianghuai Salt Factory, and their operations were extremely secretive."
Before Zhu Xiongying could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and became angry.
Lao Zhu is no more generous than Xia Yuanji. If he points his nose and scolds Lao Zhu, he still has a chance of surviving.
But if you get Lao Zhu’s money, you will definitely die!
What's more, Lianghuai Salt Factory,
Accounting for 40% of the entire salt tax,
"Damn it! You are really looking for death!
Take them directly to the capital!
No! Bring their whole family! ! "
Zhu Xiongying said,
"Grandpa, it's useless to kill them."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused suddenly, and then stopped talking.
His eyes are still full of anger,
But it is true that as the eldest grandson said, killing them is useless. If killing them could solve the problem, they would have been killed long ago.
The biggest problem now is that the Lianghuai Salt Factory can only produce such high output on both sides of the Huaihe River.
And no matter who is involved in the Lianghuai Salt Factory, they will definitely be corrupted.
Because the profits of Lianghuai Salt Factory are so huge!
This is the weakness of human nature, and it doesn't matter who you throw at it.
If anyone is greedy, then it is not a problem between two people, but a problem with the policy.
Zhu Yunxi saw Zhu Xiongying thinking hard,
He gritted his teeth and said,
"Brother, if you can't, please let me go out of Fanwu! I'll go and watch it myself!"
When Zhu Yunxi said this, his heart wanted to bleed.
Leaving the feudal domain means that there is basically no chance to return to Beijing.
Zhu Yunxi really didn't want to get to this point unless he had to.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
said,
"How are things going over there?"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed,
His tone was full of helplessness,
"The two of them are so stupid, I have to guide them step by step,
I guess it will take some time, but people over in Jiangnan have already started to contact me.
I saw that they were still testing, so I didn’t go too far. "
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi,
We think that everything we do is straight forward, simple and direct,
How come you have such a grandson?
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
"Your line is very important, dealing with Jiangnan,
It's up to you, there's really nothing else you can do. "
