Xu Qin met Zhu Di before the wedding.
But before that, numerous memorials were written to impeach Xu Qin. Things like impeachment and provocation are all conceivable.
There are even impeachments that use force to oppress the country without conquest, violating the system of Taizu. There are even those who want to impeach Xu Qin and want to rebel.
Of course, Chen Ying's impeachment was the most interesting. He actually impeached Xu Qin for going overseas and taking women with him. Take the lead in violating military regulations.
"Tell me, you brought a woman with you to the war. What do you think?" Zhu Di asked Xu Qin.
"I went out for a walk, and I didn't want to fight. I just wanted to take my maids fishing. If there is a fight, I can't send them back."
Xu Qin said roguely.
Zhu Di shook his head and laughed. This kid still looked so ungrateful.
In the past year or so, because of Xu Qin's troubles, the Ming Dynasty had earned millions of taels of income.
Overseas goods and various grains are pouring into Ming Dynasty. Even the strong labor force of Japan. This greatly enhanced the national power of Ming Dynasty.
The renewal is still gradually solving the Japanese pirate problem. Zuo Liangmou is still recruiting ronin in the Japanese country, and then continues to rob the smugglers of the Ming Dynasty.
Next, Xu Qin and Zhu Di reported on the main future policies of the Ming Dynasty in the Jurchen, Korea, and Japanese countries. And Haiboji’s main actions in the future.
The most important thing is that the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion will be changed into the Sixth Army Governor's Mansion. Xu Qin formally proposed the establishment of the Ming Navy. Zheng He could serve as the first Ming Navy admiral.
In addition to Liujiagang, a naval fleet will be established in the north and south.
In the next ten years, Japan and Korea will be truly brought under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Within the next twenty years, the entire West will be truly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Really let Japan, Korea, and the West give blood to the Ming Dynasty. Instead of sucking blood from Daming's body.
"Overseas products are rich, but what we see now is just a drop in a thousand, the tip of the iceberg. If we don't control the ocean now, danger will come from the sea one day. Only by controlling the ocean can Ming Dynasty slowly become the center of the world."
Xu Qin paints a beautiful blueprint.
"The enemies at sea are nothing but scabies. The north is the biggest worry. I will not feel at ease if the Meng Yuan is not destroyed."
Zhu Di and Xu Qin chatted and walked to the palace shed. It's bigger than the one in Xu Qin's house. Several noble concubines are taking care of vegetables inside Dapeng. This is their little bit of fun in winter.
When Xu Qin looked at this greenhouse, he said to himself that Zhu Di was really at the forefront of the trend of the times.
Basically everything he can eat is grown here in Haifansi, especially peppers.
This is the essence of Xu’s hot pot base. Now Zhu Di is planting them all over the greenhouse.
Eggplants, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and radishes are all available. There are even quite a few peach trees in bloom.
"Actually, we can't kill all the Mongols, and we can't kill them all. Qiu Fu is a waste. The recipe for soap has been given to him, but he didn't get some suet to make soap.
This hotpot has been promoted for such a long time, so why don’t we get some Mongolian mutton? It is said that wool can also be spun to make cloth. Wouldn't it be better to let the Mongols raise sheep, war horses, and cattle for us? "
Xu Qin babbled as he picked a chili pepper and took a bite.
Zhu Di picked a cucumber, took a bite and pondered Xu Qin's words.
"Ji Su's policy is correct. Qiu Fu is a strong general, but he is not a businessman, nor is he a civil servant who would not think about these issues.
You are right, but sooner or later there will be a war, and if they are broken up, it will be like the Japanese country, grant a few more kings, let them disperse, and then the Ming Dynasty will be able to do it. "
Zhu Di said.
Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty have an old feud. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are still worried about Mongolia and want to completely eliminate it.
It is a pity that after Zhu Di, he became defensive towards Mongolia. Even later, those unsatisfactory descendants were often suppressed and beaten by the Mongols.
Two hundred years later, Mongolia was finished, and so was the Ming Dynasty. The rise of the Jurchens knocked them both down.
Zhu Di was explaining to Xu Qin why he did not support his crusade against Japan. Destroy the country in one battle.
He was also telling Xu Qin that the real enemy of Ming Dynasty was on the northern grasslands.
The knight Xu Qin did not have such a big appetite and wanted to destroy the Japanese country. It would actually be of no benefit to occupy and destroy the Japanese country.
Supporting the puppets and squeezing the Japanese country dry is the best choice.
"Neither Japan nor North Korea should be swallowed up in a hurry. Once occupied, it will cause endless backlash. It is better to support the puppets and continue to draw blood to support the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition. Within twenty years, I have never thought about occupying Japan and Korea. .”
Xu Qin also made it clear to Zhu Di.
"When Mongolia is tamed, it's time to consider this matter. It's just that the Cochin rebellion came at the wrong time." Xu Qin said.
Zhu Di was also itching with hatred. Not long after Zhang Fu came back, he was messed up by those people.
After Jiaozhi was pacified, one person was needed to take charge. He was hesitating.
"If the Northern Expedition occurs, can the money from the Ming Royal Bank be used?" Zhu Di asked another question.
"No, the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty is actually a preparation made by me to deal with the treasure. It is also the credit of the royal family and cannot be tampered with."
Xu Qin and Zhu Di got to know each other. Zhu Di must be thinking about Yinhao's reserve of more than eight million taels of silver.
That's no joke. If Zhu Di makes a move today, Haifansi will collapse tomorrow.
"Once there is a run on the merchants and the bank accounts cannot be issued, it will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Once the people lose confidence in the country's credit, all future government orders will be doubted. There will also be doubts about the royal family."
Xu Qin said. He was worried that Zhu Di, like Zhu Yuanzhang, did not understand economics, so he tried to explain clearly.
"You want to solve the treasure money problem? How to solve it?" Zhu Di asked curiously. Xu Qin thought too far.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question. Why 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 was printed by the imperial court, it is naturally money." Zhu Di replied shamelessly.
"Then the imperial court used treasure banknotes to buy things from the common people. Can the common people use the treasure banknotes to buy things back from the imperial court? Or can it be said that all the treasure banknotes are used to pay taxes?" Xu Qin asked.
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment, he knew that wouldn't work. When the imperial court collects taxes, it is stipulated that treasure notes cannot be used.
Because you can’t spend that thing back. Can't buy anything. It can only be popular among the people and not used by the imperial court itself.
The ministers are not willing to pay salaries to them. Now it's a disproportional ratio of one to thirty.
"But the Song Dynasty used Jiaozi and the Yuan Dynasty also used Baochao, so why didn't this happen?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, when the Song Dynasty used Jiaozi, it was for convenience. Jiaozi could be exchanged for copper coins. The Yuan Dynasty used Baobao because Baobao could be exchanged for gold and silver. But in the Ming Dynasty, too many were issued indiscriminately.
The people's hard-earned 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 court in vain. This is robbery. "
Xu Qin said sadly. It was originally a good thing, but it turned out to be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di's face was a bit ugly, and no one would be happy if he was robbed. But he couldn't say anything, he could only stand firm. Because this is his father's fault.
"What are you going to do? Can Royal Bank do this well?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, it is a credit issue. Now people have lost confidence in treasure banknotes. But they have great confidence in banknotes.
What is the difference between banknotes and banknotes? It's all just paper. Because bank notes can be exchanged for treasure notes but not. "
Xu Qin said.
"But how do you recycle those treasure notes and exchange them with gold and silver?"
Zhu Di didn't believe it. He didn't even know how many treasures there were outside. The imperial court also recycled it every year, but it was a drop in the bucket.
"This is why I beat gongs and drums to transport silver back by boat. In the final analysis, it is to create an impression and let the people know that the Royal Bank has money and can accept the silver banknotes.
If you have a banknote in your hand and the bank number can be redeemed at any time, would you still be in a hurry to redeem it? "
Xu Qin said.
"If he is not in a hurry to redeem it, you can actually issue more banknotes. Isn't this still a lie?" Zhu Di immediately grasped the key.
"No, Your Majesty, this is credit. The additional issuance of bank accounts will never exceed a certain ratio. Not everyone is willing to exchange." Xu Qin said.
"So that's it, it's another long-term plan." Zhu Di said disappointedly.
He is very anxious, anxious to use money, anxious to solve the problem of treasure money.
"Your Majesty, the Royal Bank's money cannot actually be touched, but the Royal Bank can provide the money."
Xu Qin said.
"Isn't this the same thing?" Zhu Di asked doubtfully.
"No, it's not the same thing. Your Majesty can authorize the Ming Royal Bank to sell Northern Expedition bonds. After the war, the spoils will be returned to the people with interest.
Daming Royal Bank can guarantee it. After the war, the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty cashed in the capital and profits to the common people first. The Ministry of Accounts can slowly repay the money to Daming Bank. "
Xu Qin said. Zhu Di was completely fooled.
"Isn't this unnecessary? Why bother so much?" Zhu Di didn't understand. Why can't the Ministry of Finance come directly?
"Your Majesty, this is credit. Establish the credibility of the Royal Bank. Everyone knows that the Royal Bank has money. But the people are worried that the Ministry of Accounts will use the treasure banknotes to redeem the principal and interest?
To put it bluntly, people have lost confidence in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The treasure banknotes of the Ministry of Finance are feared by everyone, while the banknotes of the Imperial Bank of Ming Dynasty are loved by everyone. "
Xu Qin said.
"Aren't you afraid that the Ministry of Accounts will pay you back the money you owe the bank in treasure notes?" Zhu Di asked doubtfully.
"The Ministry of Revenue belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the royal silver number belongs to His Majesty. Why should I be afraid of that?" Xu Qin stretched out his hands and said.
Zhu Di wished he could slap a cucumber on his face that deserved a beating. Thinking about it, he was a general who could fight after all. A cucumber slap on the face was not appropriate, so a kick on his butt.
Several noble concubines quickly turned their heads when they saw it. After all, they were watching the emperor beating the ministers. How could they survive after seeing the ministers?
"You bastard, I just told you something serious, so why don't you behave like a minister?" Zhu Di scolded him angrily.
Xu Qin's face is thicker than the walls of the capital, so why would he care about this?
"That's it. This world belongs to your Zhu family, so what can you do if you don't even care about me?"
Xu Qin muttered and was kicked again.
"Asshole, you have no character at all. Haven't you ever thought of admonishing him?" Zhu Di taught him how to be a minister.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a soldier should die if he advises a soldier to die in battle. I am a general, and it is my business to die in battle. Just forget about admonition. Sometimes I think I can be a good and sycophantic minister."
Xu Qin scratched the place where he was kicked and said.
"Damn you, I made you a sycophant, and I taught you a lesson for your grandfather..." Zhu Di picked up the watering gourd and tried to hit Xu Qin.
Xu Qin pulled a cucumber and ran away.
All the concubines in the greenhouse were dumbfounded. It was the first time they saw someone dare to talk to His Majesty like this. It was a miracle that they were not thrown into the Jinyi Guard Prison and cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.
When he went out, he met the prince. Xu Qin, who was in a state of panic, startled the prince.
"Cousin, what happened? Did you get chased by a dog?" The prince's fat body said in shock.
"Be careful, see you later." Xu Qin ran away.
The prince was confused, turned around with a chubby face, and saw his father Zhu Di rushing out with a wooden ladle in his hand.
"Who do you think is a dog?" Zhu Di asked the prince.
"Xu Qin, this kid can run faster than a dog." The prince opened his mouth and scolded Xu Qin without any hindrance.
"Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise I would have broken his legs." Zhu Di walked away angrily, holding the wooden ladle behind his back.
"Lao..." The prince quickly walked over to remind him.
Zhu Di handed it to the eunuch angrily and followed the prince away. After walking for a while, I remembered that I had something to say to Xu Qin.
What a bastard, I want to punch him every time.
