After Zhu Yuanzhang had a fist fight and went to see Queen Ma, he also came to Han Cheng.
On the one hand, he wanted to come here and give Han Cheng a reminder to make the soap he had promised him today, but he must not forget it.
The day before yesterday, because of the soap incident, he was squeezed so hard by Hu Chongfei, the daughter of the mountain king, that his legs became weak.
Back pain.
As a result, he directly decided not to make soap, and he would never spend the night at Hu Chongfei's place from now on.
So last night, he went to spend the night at Concubine Da Ding's place.
Concubine Da Ding used to be a member of Chen Youliang's harem, and she was charming and enchanting.
Although the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma is extremely deep, their love is stronger than gold.
Never give up on Queen Ma.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's body is very honest, and he is not blind. He knows which ones are big and which ones are good-looking.
So Concubine Da Ding later changed from Chen Youliang's concubine to his concubine.
In his opinion, Concubine Da Ding was far less wild than Concubine Hu Chong.
So I went to Concubine Da Ding to find comfort last night.
He was very stinky and showed off the soap that he had previously despised to Concubine Da Ding.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang found that he had been careless.
It is true that Concubine Da Ding is far less wild than Concubine Hu Chong. She can push herself to the ground and shake things up.
But she can't help but she is so charming!
Concubine Da Ding, who had always just wanted to do it once and said she would accompany her to eternity, suddenly became excited after learning about the existence of soap.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so panicked that he quickly said that he would send her the soap in two days.
He wanted to use this method to stabilize Concubine Da Ding and prevent Concubine Da Ding from going too far.
After all, Concubine Hu Chong kept squeezing him just to get soap from him.
He felt that if he directly gave Concubine Da Ding the result she wanted this time, Concubine Da Ding would definitely be very grateful to him and would stop.
But what happened next made Zhu Yuanzhang secretly say that he had made a mistake. This woman's mind was really changeable, unfathomable, and impossible to grasp.
After he said those words, Concubine Da Ding was indeed very grateful to him.
Then, in order to express her gratitude to herself and the excitement in her heart, Concubine Da Ding became even more enthusiastic.
Although they have lived together for many years and have two children together, once Concubine Da Ding becomes serious, Zhu Yuanzhang can't stand her charm.
Especially Concubine Da Ding’s big ass...
Therefore, after an extremely fierce battle between heaven and man, Zhu Yuanzhang failed to stick to his heart in the end.
I started a journey that was very enjoyable at the time, but then I felt empty, lonely and cold, and I felt guilty and regretful...
After experiencing the events of Concubine Hu Chong and Concubine Da Ding, Lao Zhu suddenly became extremely eager to let Han Cheng make soap.
Otherwise, who can survive this?
Although his body is very tough, even if he is tough and has a body made of iron, he can't help but work hard every day!
Therefore, the production of this soap suddenly became extremely urgent.
In addition to these, there is also the matter of gunpowder.
At the same time, I also want to see if Han Cheng is serious about teaching the profound Taoist body-building method to Biao'er today.
Is there anything to hide?
So Zhu Yuanzhang came.
But after knowing what was happening here at Han Cheng's place, he did not go in directly, but decisively chose to listen to Qiang Gen!
I wanted to see what my two sons, who were unwilling to say a word to me before, were saying to Han Cheng after they hurried all the way to Han Cheng's place.
He didn't want to go in, mainly because he was worried that if he went in, it would affect Han Cheng's performance. Han Cheng would be restrained in speaking and doing things in his presence.
Zhu Di is a person who often fights on the battlefield, and his vigilance is much higher than ordinary people.
But at this time, Lao Zhu was not found arriving. From here, we can see how skillful Lao Zhu was in doing this...
"Han Cheng, what you said is really difficult to handle.
Not to mention the rest, just building a medical school will cost too much money.
To create it from scratch, you need to have corresponding books, corresponding supporting facilities, and corresponding medicinal materials...
Everything requires money.
It would be fine if there were two buildings in one building, but according to your statement, it needs to be opened in all state-level towns in the entire Ming Dynasty. The cost required is too great.
The Ministry of Revenue simply cannot afford the supply..."
Zhu Biao looked at Han Cheng and talked about the most practical issue - money!
Daming is really too poor!
Really too poor!
When Bei Yuan was defeated before, it seemed that it was defeated very quickly.
In fact, later on, many people in the Beiyuan court knew that they were no match for Zhu Hongwu.
Failure is inevitable.
Under such circumstances, those people in Beiyuan who had some authority and ability began to desperately collect and plunder money.
When Xu Da and others conquered Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, the vast amounts of gold and silver in the vast northern land had long been swept away by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
However, places like Yunnan, which are rich in copper, are still in the hands of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang faced a money shortage when he founded the country.
In addition, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were all kinds of things that needed to be done. It could be said that there was a lot of waste to be done, and money was needed everywhere.
So until now, the Hongwu Dynasty is still living a tight life.
Zhu Biao, the prince who is pro-government, knows exactly how much money is available in the national treasury now.
Besides, we have to send troops to defeat the three Tatars.
As soon as the soldiers and horses moved, countless money and food were thrown out.
The hair of the Minister of Tobe is almost falling out.
Because of this incident, my father withheld part of the food and salary that was supposed to be shipped to Yunnan.
He also promised to issue more treasure notes.
Under such circumstances, if you want to make such a big move, let alone other things, you will not be able to get through just the money!
Daming is really too poor!
The prince of the Ming Dynasty has to live a careful life and is always worried about money.
Zhu Biao himself felt a little embarrassed when he said this in front of Han Cheng.
But Zhu Biao had to say it.
Because this is a very real topic that cannot be avoided at all.
Must be considered.
Sure enough, talking about money hurts feelings.
Han Cheng looked at Zhu Biao, who frowned when he talked about the huge amount of money spent to build the medical school, and had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
"Brother, don't worry about money at all!"
As soon as Zhu Biao's voice fell, Zhu Di's voice rang out next to him.
And he is very powerful. When he opens his mouth, he is more heroic and domineering than the big brother on the list.
Han Cheng was originally going to talk about his own solution after hearing Zhu Biao cry about poverty.
After hearing Zhu Di's words, he suppressed this idea again.
Wanting to see what good idea Zhu Di had thought of, he was so excited and confident.
Zhu Biao also set his sights on Zhu Di, and wanted to see if Zhu Di had any good ideas to solve this troublesome problem of lack of money.
Zhu Di said: "Brother, our Ming Dynasty is actually not short of money, it's just that we have a lot of money that you don't want to use!"
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be stunned.
Are you not short of money?
When did the Ming Dynasty have no shortage of money and become so wealthy?
How come the prince who handles government affairs doesn't know this?
"Treasure banknotes! You can print treasure banknotes!
This treasure banknote is simply a good thing with huge profits!
It's obviously just some paper, and after printing it can be used as money.
You can use treasure money to buy things, and you can exchange it for everything you need.
The treasure banknotes are printed by the imperial court. As long as there is a need, you can print as many as you want.
It's almost like picking it up for free.
This thing is an inexhaustible gold mountain!
Our Ming Dynasty holds such a golden mountain in our hands, how can the court be short of money?
It's just that you guys don't want to print more..."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao with a somewhat excited expression and expressed his solution.
Among the people present, Zhu Di is undoubtedly the one who most hopes to promote the success of the establishment of the medical school and thus promote the development of medicine.
He was also the one who actively thought of ways to solve the problem after learning about the difficulties Zhu Biao mentioned.
He was originally worried that the problem his elder brother mentioned was too difficult to solve.
But after hearing what his elder brother said was the biggest difficulty, Zhu Di instantly became energetic.
I feel that the money problem is not a problem at all and can be easily solved.
After listening to what Zhu Di said, the two people in the room and the person eavesdropping outside the room either frowned or were stunned, but no matter what their reaction was, no one praised Zhu Di out loud.
Han Cheng looked at Zhu Di who said this with a complicated mood.
The Ming Dynasty Baochao has a great reputation. People in later generations who know a little bit about the Ming Dynasty Baochao will not be able to help but spit on the Ming Dynasty Baochao.
Because this Ming Dynasty treasure banknote collapsed so badly.
However, if you really count it up, when the Ming Dynasty Baochao first appeared, its positive effects were really not small, far outweighing its negative effects.
When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, it was really short of money.
The court and the people are all short of money.
Lack of money can cause big problems.
If the economy cannot circulate, development will not just stagnate, but will most likely collapse.
The people had no money and wanted to buy what they needed but could not get it.
It is also extremely difficult to sell what you have.
Bartering is very troublesome, and it is difficult to find a suitable trading partner in a short time.
The imperial court had no money, and all kinds of things could not be carried out.
Lack of money, serious lack of money!
This became an extremely powerful hand stuck on the neck of the newly born Da Ming, almost strangling Da Ming.
Under this situation, the Ming Dynasty Baochao came into being.
Although in order to promote Baobao, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a series of seemingly tough measures.
Although the Ming Dynasty Baochao has been criticized since its emergence, and has been heartily resisted by many people.
But it is undeniable that it still plays an extremely positive role.
Because of it, money circulated in the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of transactions and needs were met.
The economy is flowing again.
The problem of money shortage was also solved.
Then, the Ming Dynasty banknotes began to gradually depreciate in value.
However, until Lao Zhu's death, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes of the same value can still be exchanged for about 400 Wen coins.
What really made the Ming Dynasty treasure money useless were the uncles and nephews of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.
During the Jingnan crisis, what should Zhu Yunwen do if he is short of money? The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were printed.
After Zhu Di was successful in the Jingnan Campaign, what should he do if he had no money for the Northern Expeditions again and again?
The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are printed!
What should I do if my treasure money becomes less and less valuable?
Then print more Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and win with quantity...
Then, the Ming Dynasty treasure money was completely wasted and became worthless.
It’s too hard to use to wipe your butt…
Han Cheng originally didn't understand why the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were completely destroyed in Zhu Di's hands.
But at this time, after hearing Zhu Di's wise words, he immediately understood.
Judging from Zhu Di's attitude towards Da Ming Bao Chao, it would be really strange if Da Ming Bao Chao could survive without being defeated by Zhu Di!
No matter how strong the banknotes are, they can't withstand such waste in Zhu Di's hands!
"Brother, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere in the room was a little different from what he expected, and looked at Zhu Biao with some confusion.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath and said: "Fourth, this is really wrong, you can't do this.
It seems that we can continue to print this treasure banknote. After printing, we can use the paper to exchange for various things.
But this is not the case.
It won't work if you print too much of this thing. If you print too much, problems will easily occur.
Haven't you noticed that our Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are no longer that valuable? "
Although Zhu Biao didn't quite understand the principle of this treasure note, he could detect the change in its value.
"It has only been seven years since the issuance of the treasure banknotes. The regular banknotes can only be exchanged for eight hundred copper coins..."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di and said with a heavy tone.
The problem of the depreciation of this treasure banknote was a very troublesome problem for him.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Di was stunned, and then said: "Brother, this is because the court is too kind!
My father should cut off all gold, silver, and copper coins, and completely prohibit the exchange of treasure notes and copper coins.
Once the exchange is discovered, the corresponding measures will be directly used to punish!
Moreover, you can also order that the same value means the same value, and no price reduction is allowed anywhere!
If you don't agree and only regard a consistent note as eight hundred coins, then directly punish those people with severe punishment!
I can't believe that under such methods, those people dare to be so lawless!
Such random behavior! ! "
Zhu Di's voice carried the usual decisiveness of a warrior.
This has a lot to do with the fact that Zhu Di didn't think much about anything else at this time and just wanted to be the Ming Dynasty's general conquering the north.
Moreover, the knowledge of currency is indeed somewhat profound, at least for people of this era.
"no!"
Zhu Biao immediately shook his head and rejected Zhu Di's proposal.
“This matter cannot be done carelessly, it is not as simple as you think.
This matter affects thousands of households throughout the Ming Dynasty. If you really do this, there will be trouble everywhere! "
Zhu Biao's tone seemed a little serious.
Ever since they realized that the treasure banknotes had begun to depreciate, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had tried various ways to prevent this from happening.
But there is no effective way.
The depreciation of treasure banknotes has been happening continuously.
The most effective way they have figured out to prevent the depreciation of treasure banknotes is to reduce the issuance of treasure banknotes.
But there are so many places where Ming Dynasty needs money.
We can't really not print and issue treasure banknotes...
Although Zhu Biao didn't know how to solve the problem of the depreciation of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, he knew that he absolutely couldn't do what Zhu Di said.
If you really do this, there will definitely be a big problem!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping outside, heard Zhu Biao's words and couldn't help but nodded.
You have to set your own standard, which is to be excellent!
Thinking about the problem is so profound!
The fourth guy thinks too simply.
Sure enough, compared with Biao'er, the fourth child was only suitable to lead troops in war and help Ming Dynasty guard one side.
Being an emperor is something that the fourth child is completely incapable of doing.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought this in his heart, feeling a little proud and extremely satisfied with the excellence of his mark.
But after thinking that he heard from Han Cheng that his Biao'er would die in less than ten years and would not even sit on the emperor's throne, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a haze in his heart.
The good mood is gone.
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more uncomfortable when he thought about the depreciation of treasure banknotes that gave him a headache.
If I had known that these people were talking about treasure money, I wouldn't have eavesdropped here.
Isn't this just because I'm causing trouble for myself so early in the morning and making myself feel uncomfortable?
But how did these people bring the topic to the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes?
So what is medical school?
Why did they suddenly remember what kind of medical school they wanted to establish?
Many doubts arose in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart...
In order to solve the doubts in his heart, he chose to continue eavesdropping...
In the room, Zhu Di was speechless for a moment because of Zhu Biao's denials one after another.
Although he couldn't figure out why he couldn't print too many treasure notes, but since his eldest brother said so, he couldn't say more about it.
He believes what the elder brother says!
Since the elder brother said that if you do this, there will be big problems with the money, then this is not possible.
But if you don’t print treasure banknotes, where will you get the money?
Without money, how can we vigorously develop medicine?
If we don't vigorously develop medicine, then Miaoyun will really get sick as Han Cheng said in the future. What should I do?
Zhu Di felt extremely lonely and uncomfortable when he thought of Miaoyun leaving him so long ago and leaving him alone in the world.
My heart felt like it was being cut by a knife!
The atmosphere in the side hall once again became solemn.
Who would have thought that a prince, a prince, the kind of prince who could handle national affairs, and a prince with real power would be stumped by money at this time.
"Han Cheng, do you... have any way to solve this problem?"
After a while, Zhu Di looked at Han Cheng and spoke with some difficulty.
After saying this, Zhu Di felt very embarrassed and did not dare to look at Han Cheng.
I feel like my face is burning.
Thinking about it, he felt that it was quite excessive.
In order to solve his wife's illness, Han Cheng put forward two suggestions.
Han Cheng also gave corresponding countermeasures on how to vigorously develop medicine.
As a result, now, he wants to ask Han Cheng how to make money...
He, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't even solve a problem and had to ask Han Cheng everywhere...
Moreover, after asking Han Cheng, Zhu Di felt that his question was in vain.
After all, this money problem has not been easy to solve since ancient times.
If it is solved easily, my eldest brother will not be sad about it.
But unlike Zhu Di, Zhu Biao seemed more confident in Han Cheng and wanted to hear some different answers from Han Cheng.
Things that are very difficult to solve for myself and others may be very different for Han Cheng and the people of the era in which Han Cheng lived.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping outside, frowned slightly, thinking that the fourth child was sick and had to seek medical treatment urgently.
Regarding the money problem, he and many of his ministers have tried their best, but there is no good solution.
Does Han Cheng have any good ideas?
The depreciation of treasure banknotes is simply an irreversible thing!
But then, Han Cheng's voice sounded in the room, which stunned Zhu Yuanzhang.
"In this regard, I really have some methods. Although I don't say that I can completely prevent the depreciation of the treasure banknotes, if I do this, I can greatly slow down the depreciation of the treasure banknotes."
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had ears between walls, couldn't help but be stunned.
Han Cheng, this kid, really has a way?
You're not talking nonsense here, are you? !
Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and instinctively didn't believe it.
But the body is very honest and has no intention of leaving.
Instead, he raised his ears high and leaned closer to the house, concentrating on listening to what was going on inside.
I'm afraid there will be any omissions.
Of course, he didn't do this just to listen to Han Cheng's clever ideas.
But I want to hear what Han Cheng can say next.
He needs to keep a check on his Biao'er to prevent Biao'er from being deceived by Han Cheng!
Yes, it is like that! !
In the room, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao looked at Han Cheng with bright eyes, full of surprise.
Waiting for Han Cheng's next words.
“If you want to better understand this issue, the most important thing is to first understand what money is.
Know what money is. "
Han Cheng's words made the two people in the room and one person eavesdropping outside the room confused.
What is money?
Why is this so strange to ask?
Isn’t money just money?
There are gold and silver, copper coins, and treasure notes.
What else could there be besides these?
The essence of repaying money?
Isn’t the essence of money still money?
This is something they are accustomed to and have never thought much about.
At this time, Han Cheng suddenly asked him, and they all felt a little confused. They felt that Han Cheng's question was very unnecessary.
If Han Cheng hadn't been the one who asked this question, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would have wanted to hit someone!
What kind of stupid question is this?
“Money, which can also be called currency, is actually a symbol of value.
There are many things that can be used as money. Common ones include gold, silver, copper coins, etc., and of course banknotes. In later generations, there will even be digital currencies.
Although they are all money, there is a difference between money and money.
Things like gold, silver, and copper can serve as symbols of value because of their rarity.
They are of great value in their own right.
This is why gold, silver, and copper have been used as currencies for a long time.
Compared with them, money like banknotes has only one function, which is a symbol of value and serves as a medium of exchange.
Compared with metal currencies such as gold, silver and copper, paper money itself has little value, and the reason why it can be used as money is because the government has given it the function of a value symbol through administrative means and other means.
It is stipulated that it can be used as a medium of exchange...
This is also an important reason why banknotes tend to depreciate compared to currencies such as gold, silver, and copper.
After knowing what money is and knowing the difference between paper money and metal currency, it will be much easier to look at the problem of paper money being easily devalued..."
Han Cheng's voice rang out, supplementing Zhu Biao and Zhu Di's knowledge on finance and currency.
Han Cheng himself never thought that some of the knowledge he learned when he was in high school would come in handy at this time.
New terms such as value symbols made Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping outside, a little confused.
Qian, who was obviously very familiar, suddenly became a little strange after Han Cheng's explanation.
However, a look of surprise soon appeared on Zhu Biao's face.
He looked at Han Cheng and said: "This means that banknotes like treasure banknotes have no value in themselves, and it is much easier to obtain than gold and silver. As long as you want it, you can get it in a short time." Many treasures.
So, it can easily become worthless? "
"Right, that is it."
Han Cheng nodded in agreement with Zhu Biao's words.
“One of the main reasons why Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes depreciated so quickly is that there was no restraint in the printing of treasure banknotes.
The operation of the market has its own rules. During the operation, a certain amount of money is required.
Insufficient money circulating in the market will affect development.
But if there is too much money, it will cause the money to be worthless, and the harm to society will also be very great.
Never think of treasure money as a hen that can lay golden eggs.
Otherwise, it will definitely encounter extremely serious backlash in the future.
The treasure money will definitely be completely destroyed!
As far as I know, treasure banknotes were completely reduced to a piece of waste paper in less than a hundred years during the Ming Dynasty.
Treasure notes with a face value of several hundred guan can only be exchanged for a few pennies!
It was completely swept into the garbage heap.
It has become something that is too hard to wipe your butt.
At the same time, it also became a joke.
The rapid devaluation of banknotes also caused great social unrest and triggered many disasters.
For example, a wealthy and aristocratic family, relying on its own power, insists on taking the devalued treasure banknotes that have long since depreciated, and spends according to the denomination printed on the banknotes to buy the land of ordinary people.
This kind of move is said to be a purchase, but it is no different from Ming Qiang.
More importantly, there is no way to explain this matter.
Because that’s what’s printed on the treasure banknote…”
"boom!"
Han Cheng's words were like thunder, exploding in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, making Zhu Yuanzhang's face extremely ugly!
The treasure banknotes he... issued, the treasure banknotes he was proud of and proud of, actually turned into this later? !
Have you become so cruel to the people?
If you calculate it this way, if there are so many problems in Ming Dynasty in the future, you will have to bear a lot of responsibility!
Damn it!
Damn it! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping, was completely shattered by what Han Cheng said. He was very defenseless.
After learning what the treasure banknotes had become and how much harm they had caused, Zhu Yuanzhang now had the idea of abolishing the treasure banknotes directly!
You know, although Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about the depreciation of treasure banknotes before, on the whole, he was still very proud of the treasure banknotes.
I think this is really a good thing.
Under such circumstances, who dares to say that treasure banknotes should be abolished and that his beloved treasure banknotes have become waste paper? Zhu Yuanzhang would not be the first to spare him!
But at this time, Han Cheng's words made Zhu Yuanzhang immediately think of abolishing the treasure banknotes.
This shows how much impact Han Cheng's words had on Zhu Yuanzhang!
But if treasure banknotes were really abolished, what would Ming Dynasty do?
Without the use of treasure money, how could the Ming Dynasty have so much money to use?
This feeling of knowing that something is wrong but having no way to solve it is really not good!
Early in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang was made extremely uncomfortable.
"Han Cheng, then...do you have a solution to the problem?"
In the room, Zhu Biao, who was frightened by what Han Cheng said, swallowed his saliva, looked at Han Cheng and asked eagerly.
Zhu Yuanzhang outside also raised his ears higher and listened to Han Cheng's words very carefully.
My heart twitched, fearing that I would hear from Han Cheng that Han Cheng didn't have a good solution.
"There are some ways."
Han Cheng nodded: "Among these, the most important solution is..."
(End of chapter)
