Not necessarily decades or centuries.
Su Jing's words immediately silenced Zhu Biao.
He understood the general content of today's course, which mainly talked about the advantages and disadvantages of banknotes.
After all, the issuance of banknotes should be consistent with economic development.
According to Zhu Biao's understanding of Su Jing's words, the Ming Dynasty's economy is still too weak, so it is not suitable to issue banknotes at this stage.
As the prince, and deeply taught by Su Jing, Zhu Biao knew very well the importance of economic development to the Ming Dynasty.
He has always felt that Ming's economy can take off and develop rapidly.
However, now Su Jing gave him a heavy blow.
Zhu Biao was silent. His brothers were not entangled on this point. They were still trying the 'financial products' that Su Jing called.
After all, it is a new concept and relatively vague, so it is still difficult to understand.
"Mr. Su's knowledge of ancient and modern times is really admirable. Perhaps many years later, I will truly understand the content of this class."
Zhu Fan felt this and said.
The more he reads, the more he can see his own shortcomings. Zhu Fan is now completely conquered by Su Jing, and he has restrained his arrogance as a scholar.
Zhu Di said: "The wisdom of business is infinite. I am afraid that I will not be able to understand its essence in this life."
Zhu Ping said: "I would also like to ask Mr. Su to teach me more in the future. I am quite interested in this matter of money. However, my own talents are limited. I only hope that I can learn one-tenth of the tenth from Mr. Su."
Now that Zhu Xi has found his own position, he will just have to make more achievements in business.
In terms of reading and erudition, he is not as good as Jin King Zhu Fan, and in terms of military and political strategy, he is not as good as Yan King Zhu Di.
In terms of quick thinking, talent and wisdom, he is not as good as Wu Wang Zhu Ji, and in terms of virtue and character, he is far from the prince Zhu Biao.
Now, in Zhu Ping, the only business that can overtake others in a corner is business that many people look down upon.
Under Su Jing's guidance, Zhu Ping deeply realized that great things can be accomplished in business.
Su Jing looked at a few people and didn't say anything. They were just her thoughts after class. It's hard to say whether they were true or false.
Outside the study, Lao Zhu's expression was not very good: "I've been talking for a long time, but it can't be released now. It's really nonsense!"
I thought I could hear some solution to Ming Dynasty's financial problems now. Lao Zhu had been patiently eavesdropping outside the door, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that all his efforts were in vain.
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, I feel that what Mr. Su said today is of profound significance to the Ming Dynasty."
"As Mr. Su said, the economic development of the Ming Dynasty may take off in a few decades, or it may not reach the standard of paper currency issuance in hundreds of years."
"The key to all this should be Mr. Su. If Mr. Su can show his talents, this day may come earlier."
Liu Bowen saw much further than people like Zhu Biao. Paper money is just a symbol of economic development. The real core is whether the Ming Dynasty's economy can develop.
The economic base determines the superstructure. With the economic base, there will be the basis for all changes.
Changes in social form are also closely related to the economy.
Because the economy will not develop in a vacuum, only the progress of productivity will promote economic development.
In the final analysis, everything Su Jing is saying now points to the new social forms that he and Liu Bowen once talked about.
"Bo Wen, you think too highly of Su Jing."
Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly and said nothing more to Liu Bowen on this matter.
For Lao Zhu, the founding emperor, finance is a very important power.
If Su Jing did not enter the court, there would be no possibility for him to control the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's economy.
Lao Zhu will not let Su Jing implement Su Jing's imagination, at least for now.
"I understand."
Liu Bowen nodded, that was enough.
"Okay, that's all for today's lesson. There's a lot of stuff, and you still need to digest it carefully."
Su Jing said to Zhu Biao and others.
"Thank you Master Su (Mr.) for your teaching!" x5
Zhu Biao and the other five immediately stood up and saluted Su Jing.
Su Jing waved her hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. I just talked about it casually. By the way, I will give you a question after class. You can go back and think about it."
"Previously I talked about the four stages of development of currency. The fourth stage is banknotes. My question is, what is the fifth stage after banknotes?"
From barter to gold bars and bullion to coinage and then paper money.
The development history of currency is actually a manifestation of the changes in the history of human economic development.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going to go out and take a breath."
After saying that, Su Jing went directly to the door of the study and opened the door.
"Your Majesty? Uncle Cheng?"
Su Jing glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen who were facing away from him and walking in a hurry, and he shouted directly.
"Ahem."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said with a stiff expression: "Su Jing, I came here to see the prince. What a coincidence, you are here too."
As an emperor, he may not have professional training in acting, but he can still hold back his expression.
Liu Bowen on the side said: "Mr. Su, I was also summoned by His Majesty to come and see His Highness the Crown Prince."
As for the monarch and his ministers, it seems as if there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!" x5
At this moment, Zhu Biao and others also walked to the door of the study. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Okay, everyone, get up. You have just finished class. Go back and digest it. There is no need to stay here."
"Yes, Father!" X5
The five people immediately stood up and left. They also understood that they could not interfere with what happened next.
After the people left, Lao Zhu looked at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, I just came here to take a look, don't think too much about it."
Su Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty does not need to explain, Su Jing understands, but I see that Uncle Chengyi is here, does your Majesty have any unanswered questions?"
"Mr. Su, that's it. His Majesty and I were outside the study just now..."
"Ahem!"
Liu Bowen was about to talk to Su Jing, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang's cough.
Let’s take a look at what I just said. If Liu Bowen directly talks about what he just eavesdropped outside the study, wouldn’t he expose himself?
"I'm talking too much."
Liu Bowen immediately lowered his head and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Nothing, but since Bowen mentioned it, I also want to ask you, Su Jing, do you think the Ming Dynasty really can't issue banknotes?"
Liu Bowen still understood Zhu Yuanzhang. He was not talking too much just now, but on purpose.
It was to give Lao Zhu a step up so that he could ask what he wanted to ask in a logical manner.
This cooperation can only be said to be quite skillful.
Su Jing replied: "Your Majesty, I made it very clear just now that Ming Dynasty is not suitable for issuing banknotes now."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly and he said, "You said it might not be suitable for hundreds of years. What's the difference between that and not being able to release it?"
"Your Majesty said this, when Ming Dynasty can issue banknotes, it depends on you."
Su Jing said immediately.
"Why is it related to me again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and said.
Su Jing said calmly: "It seems that His Majesty's memory is not very good. When we first met in Lishui County, Uncle Chengyi was also there. Didn't I tell His Majesty a story about the Beggar Gang and the Emperor?"
"Whether the Ming Dynasty can issue banknotes now, isn't that the same reason?"
Zhu Yuanzhang recalled it, but he had so many daily affairs. The first meeting with Su Jing happened almost a year ago, and he really couldn't remember it.
"Is this happening?"
Lao Zhu frowned.
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Su means is that whether banknotes can be issued depends on the level of economic development of the Ming Dynasty, and the level of economic development of the Ming Dynasty is determined by Your Majesty. Therefore, whether banknotes can be issued depends on Your Majesty."
Liu Bowen helped Zhu Yuanzhang explain.
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't think of it, but he understood what Su Jing meant.
"Su Jing, don't fool me. It's good that I am the emperor, but I alone cannot decide how the Ming Dynasty's economy will develop."
Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.
Lao Zhu is very domineering, but he is not arrogant and domineering.
On the contrary, he has a clear understanding of his own abilities.
The capable soldiers and generals under him are also used a lot, and they are usually willing to delegate power to their subordinates for matters that they are not familiar with.
Of course, mainly during the uprising stage, Lao Zhu still trusted his subordinates quite a bit.
When it comes to making money, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that he had no talent in this area.
Su Jing was slightly startled. He had never seen such Lao Zhu in the history books.
"Your Majesty, you are a holy king of a generation. Su Jing believes that under your leadership, Ming Dynasty will definitely move towards glory step by step!"
Su Jing didn't care and just flattered her.
After all, they were not alone at this time, there was also Liu Bowen, who had to give Lao Zhu the face he deserved.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly, and he paused and said: "Su Jing, you don't have to say that. I created the Ming Dynasty, so I will naturally try my best to manage it. This economic matter is indeed not my strong point."
Su Jing said again: "Your Majesty, you are being humble. Such great achievements as the creation of the Ming Dynasty are rare in the world. No one is omnipotent, but Su Jing believes that with your Majesty's talent, even if you are not good at it, you can still succeed very quickly. learned and mastered.”
Although this series of flattery was very blunt, flattery was flattery after all, and Lao Zhu was quite happy to hear it.
Su Jing's praise is not so easy to hear on weekdays.
This made Liu Bowen on the side feel a little at a loss. In his heart, Su Jing was far from the flattering image she had now.
Liu Bowen even doubted whether he had seen a hallucination.
Su Jing is so intelligent, but now she looks like a sycophant who only cares about saying nice things.
"Okay, okay, Su Jing, let's stop talking about these words. I still want to ask you, the Ming Dynasty's national treasury is not full and it is in financial difficulties. Do you have any solution?"
Zhu Yuanzhang brought the topic back to its original route, the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, Lao Zhu will definitely not issue them now.
However, Ming Dynasty's financial shortage problem will not disappear just now, and some methods are still needed to solve it.
Su Jing said: "Your Majesty, how can I, a small businessman, solve major national financial issues? Even if I sell all the properties in Lishui County to add to the national treasury, I am afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket. Your Majesty is really making things difficult for me."
Although Su Jing was the president of a listed company in her previous life, she was rich and her business skills were not low.
But what Lao Zhu is asking now is about the financial issues of the entire Ming Dynasty.
The difference in size between a company and a country is not the slightest.
In this matter, Su Jing is still very self-aware.
You could brag as much as you wanted in class just now, but now I am telling Zhu Yuanzhang that you have to be more restrained.
"Bowen, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned directly to Liu Bowen and asked.
Liu Bowen immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Su is too modest. Regarding the course Mr. Su taught His Royal Highness just now, I feel that if it can be used in the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely make the Ming Dynasty's economy develop rapidly."
This is not because Liu Bowen deliberately dragged Su Jing into the water or something, but because Zhu Yuanzhang just heard it from beginning to end.
If Liu Bowen told lies with his eyes open, he would be looking down on Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Su Jing, you heard me, I hope you won't be so modest anymore."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Su Jing and said lightly.
Su Jing thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if you really want to know, I have a way, but the way is divided into three strategies: upper, middle and lower. I don't know which one your Majesty wants?"
Three strategies: upper, middle and lower?
Lao Zhu's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Su Jing and said: "Su Jing, is this what you told me that there is nothing you can do? You have three strategies? Are you kidding me?"
As he spoke, Lao Zhu's anger was already rising.
At first he said there was nothing he could do, but now he directly introduced three strategies: upper, middle and lower, and no one was too angry to let anyone go.
Liu Bowen on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to listen to what Mr. Su has to say first."
Among the three people present, Liu Bowen was the most frightened.
Su Jing's attitude was so out of the ordinary that Liu Bowen could not imagine it.
For a while, I felt that Su Jing was a flattering sycophant, and for a while, I felt that Su Jing didn't seem to care about the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's temper at all.
Su Jing said: "Your Majesty, after listening to this, you will know why I said there was nothing I could do at the beginning."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his face directly.
Su Jing said: "Is this the best policy? Your Majesty will work hard, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, the policy will gradually be relaxed, all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty will flourish, and the economy will naturally get better. This is the kingly way. Although the speed is not fast, it is stable."
"The central policy focuses on stimulating people's livelihood and commerce, opening up trade routes, including restarting the Silk Road, maritime commerce, etc., with the imperial court as the foundation, directly participating in business, and gathering all the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Among them. In this way, a huge amount of funds can be raised. If you have more money, you will naturally make money."
"As for this strategy, it is to counterattack the Japanese pirates and capture the Japanese country!"
