Yang Xuan was suddenly stabbed in the back by Zhu Biao, and Yang Xuan was stunned.
I asked you to speak for me, not to kill me.
What hatred or resentment?
Yang Xuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
But it's too late to talk about this now.
Facing Lao Zhu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yang Xuan could only think of ways to make suggestions.
"Your Majesty, there are not many treasure notes issued now, so we still have enough time to consider for the future." Yang Xuan cupped his hands towards Lao Zhu and said.
"Go on." Lao Zhu nodded.
"To solve the problem of inflation, we must first understand where inflation comes from."
"Of course, the current Ming Dynasty doesn't have it yet."
"We can find it from history."
"Just like in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, treasure notes were reduced to pieces of paper."
"Your Majesty must have a deep understanding of this."
"That's right, that thing is too hard for us to wipe our butts with." Lao Zhu agreed.
"We all know that in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the emperor was ignorant, corrupt officials were rampant in the court, and there was a complete chaos." Yang Xuan said.
Regardless of whether there were still good people in the Yuan Dynasty at that time, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was right to continue to be evil.
"The treasure banknote system was originally very good, but due to these people's uncontrolled and excessive issuance of treasure banknotes, the number of treasure banknotes far exceeded the amount that the people could bear."
"This has just led to the devaluation of treasure banknotes."
"If we, the Ming Dynasty, want to avoid it, we must issue it regularly and in a controlled manner."
"And recycling measures must be taken to ensure that the number of treasure banknotes in the private sector is always within a reasonable range."
"The most important thing is to have reserves for people to exchange."
"In the final analysis, Baoqian is just a credit currency. Only when Baixin believes it is valuable can it be valuable."
"The current treasure banknotes are mainly supported by His Majesty's credit."
"Otherwise, when the treasure banknotes depreciate, the people will no longer trust you, which means that the people will no longer trust your majesty."
"This is a huge blow to His Majesty and the court's prestige."
"You must be on guard!"
After saying that, Yang Xuan raised his hands to Lao Zhu.
"We're going to let you talk about the solution, not let you talk here and there."
Lao Zhu's face darkened and he said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I have summarized a few points based on the failure experience in history. Please correct me."
"One of them is to prepare reserves in advance before issuing treasure banknotes."
"Second, formulate a system for recycling treasure banknotes."
"Thirdly, the quality of the banknotes needs to be improved. After using them a few times, even the handwriting will become unclear."
"Fourth, the issuance of treasure banknotes must be well planned, such as how many will be issued this year and how much will be recycled."
“You can’t just do whatever you want and issue as much as you want.”
"The value of treasure banknotes must be stabilized. Our Ming Dynasty cannot follow the old path of the Yuan Dynasty."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's face looked a little ugly. Wasn't this just teasing him?
However, Yang Xuan was not interrupted.
“Fifth, we must take anti-counterfeiting measures.”
"Prevent people with evil intentions from counterfeiting treasure banknotes. Otherwise, they will make a fortune and Your Majesty will be brought into disrepute."
"Sixth, for the issuance of treasure banknotes, a separate department should be established, independent of the Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministries, and directly led by His Majesty."
"After all, it involves the Ming Dynasty's economy."
"Seventh, people in this department must understand economics. A layman can guide an expert, and it is easy to turn good things into bad things."
Again... Lao Zhu's brows jumped.
"Are you done?"
"Uh... I'm done." Yang Xuan paused and said.
"Okay, when you go down, write all these on the note and the prince will give it to us."
"As for people who understand economics, if there are none, then you have to solve it for us."
"Get down!"
"Wei Chen resigns!"
"My son, please retire!"
After the two left, Lao Zhu rubbed his forehead.
"Someone is coming."
"His Majesty!"
"Pass on Hu Weiyong!"
…
"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, bows to your Majesty!" At this time, Hu Weiyong was already Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province.
He inherited Li Shanchang's position, not only that, but also the Huaixi Group run by Li Shanchang.
"Weiyong, you're here, get up quickly!" Lao Zhu looked at Hu Weiyong and said with a smile.
He originally wanted to find Li Shanchang, but Li Shanchang had already resigned.
"We have something to ask you." Lao Zhu said.
"Your Majesty, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know." Hu Weiyong said respectfully.
"Haha, okay, now that everyone is in charge, we can only count on you, Wei Yong, to share our worries!"
Lao Zhu smiled.
"I am terrified."
"To share the worries of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, I am just doing my best."
"The prince is young and inexperienced after all."
"Wei Yong, tell me, is this treasure money a good thing or a bad thing?"
"We heard someone say today that this treasure banknote will damage the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty."
"We have to pay attention!"
"Your Majesty, treasure banknotes are a strategy to benefit the country and the people. Those who say treasure banknotes will harm the fate of the Ming Dynasty must be ambitious people."
"I suggest you kill this traitor!"
"Wei Yong, don't be impatient. Why don't you listen to what we heard first?"
"I listen to the holy teachings!"
Then, Lao Zhu repeated what Zhu Biao and Yang Xuan said.
"Wei Yong, tell me, if we really issue treasure banknotes without restraint, will we follow the old path of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, our country, the Ming Dynasty, has been established for nearly ten years. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the world is peaceful, and the state is in a prosperous age. How can it be compared to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty huddled on the grassland."
"What's more, His Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. The Ming Dynasty under his governance is changing with each passing day. How can he follow the old path of the Yuan Dynasty."
"The person who said this deserves to die." Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground and said excitedly.
Lao Zhu's question was simply a proposition. Hu Weiyong answered so quickly, which shows how fast he responded.
Looking at Hu Weiyong kneeling on the ground, a sneer flashed across the corner of Lao Zhu's mouth, but it was fleeting.
"Wei Yong, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"We just think these words make sense, and we have to nip them in the bud."
"We have thought of a few solutions. What do you think?"
Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhu told the solutions that Yang Xuan mentioned.
After hearing this, Hu Weiyong was also stunned.
Not to mention, the people who came up with these methods are simply geniuses.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hu Weiyong flattered him wildly.
"It seems that you also agree with these methods." Lao Zhu said.
"This is natural. In the whole world, only Your Majesty can come up with such a perfect solution." Hu Weiyong said.
The corners of Lao Zhu's mouth twitched. Why did these words sound like curses?
Lao Zhu's mood was very unhappy.
He looked at Hu Weiyong: "Your Zhongshu Province is responsible for the treasure money issue. Why didn't you find the problem?"
"I still need to tell you that the example of the Yuan Dynasty is clearly laid out in front of you. Are all of you in the Zhongshu Province just doing it for a living?"
Lao Zhu's attitude suddenly reversed, which also shocked Hu Weiyong.
Let him kneel down and apologize.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
…
