Cheng Qingfeng first looked at Chongzhen in disbelief, and then his eyes lit up."
Lord Tian, what do you mean is that Your Majesty not only knows that there is a grass people, but Your Majesty also wants to promote the grass people, how can it be that the Lord is Kuang me" Chongzhen smiled faintly, "This official has never joked. ”When Cheng Qingfeng heard this, his Adam's apple squirmed with excitement, his whole body trembled, and his eyes suddenly burst into tears.He knelt down suddenly, facing the Forbidden City, and said with tears streaming down his face."
Chen Cheng Qingfeng, thank the emperor for his grace, Your Majesty, although you can't hear the minister's heartfelt advice, but the minister still has to say.""
Your Majesty!"
Cheng Qingfeng almost shouted, "Your Majesty's grace, the minister can only be avenged if he dies, but the minister can't die, and the minister will definitely assist His Majesty to help the society in the future and sweep away the situation." ”"The minister has been in the capital for these days, and the minister can sense that His Majesty is a saint with great ambitions.The minister is ignorant, and he can't guess His Majesty's grand ambitions, but the minister is loyal, and he will repay the king's favor with death in the future. ”Chongzhen was extremely speechless.This Cheng Qingfeng was still a grass and grass people just now, and this time he will surrender to him, and the role change is really fast!
Chongzhen smiled."
Master Cheng, you will say that you can't die, and then you will say that you want to repay Jun's kindness with death, which is contradictory, okay, don't think about it, just wait with peace of mind."
After saying that, Chongzhen no longer paid attention to Cheng Qingfeng.Out of the gate of his house, Chongzhen saw that it was still early, and he was ready to continue shopping.Now the people of the capital are very rich, and everyone has a smile on their faces.Walking on the street, Chongzhen found that there were many fewer people in tattered clothes, and there were not a single homeless people.However, Chongzhen also found a strange phenomenon.It stands to reason that the common people are having a better life, and they should have more money in their hands, right?
However, there is no mention of silver, the common people even have less copper coins in their hands, and most of the people buy things in barter.For example, an old hen is exchanged for a piece of cloth, a few baskets of fruit are exchanged for side noodles, a pound of flour is exchanged for two buns, and so on.It is understandable that there is little silver in the world.First, silver is relatively expensive, and the common people have little contact, and second, a large amount of silver has been hidden by officials and wealthy businessmen.But how can the copper coin be missing, Chongzhen pondered and pondered.Finally, he remembered a historical material he occasionally read before crossing over, it had been so long that Chongzhen had almost forgotten it.Now that he saw that the common people were bartering, he remembered it again.It turned out that the Ming government rarely minted copper coins in order to promote treasure money.From Hongwu to Longqing, there have been twelve emperors, but only six emperors have minted money, and they are issued in limited quantities.A large number of copper coins were minted from Emperor Wanli, but the copper coins minted could not keep up with the copper coins that were smuggled out.That's right, the maritime smugglers of the Ming Dynasty not only smuggled domestic leather goods, raw silk, tea, silk, porcelain and other specialties.Even the copper coins they didn't let go.You must know that the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to mint copper coins, or the quality of the minted copper coins was very poor.But do ordinary people need money to live?
What to do is simply smuggled in from the Ming Dynasty, and use their own specialties, even copper, silver, gold and other good things to buy Ming copper coins from smuggling maritime traders.When Zheng He went to the West, he found that the coins used by many countries in the South Seas were actually made by the Ming Dynasty.Yingya Shenglan record.The country of Java used Chinese copper coins of all dynasties, and the old Hong Kong country also used Chinese copper coins, and Ceylon was particularly fond of Chinese copper coins, and even exchanged them for copper coins with jewelry.The country of Java, the old port country, is today's Southeast Asia; The state of Ceylon was present-day South Asia and Sri Lanka.This shows how popular copper coins are in China!
In particular, the copper coins minted during the Yongle period were of the best quality and the highest value abroad, and were widely welcomed by overseas countries, and even spread to Africa for a time.And the impact of the massive outflow of copper coins on the Ming Dynasty?
Because there were fewer and fewer copper coins in the country, and silver was stored in large quantities, so that the Ming Dynasty finally deflated.At the end of any Chinese dynasty, it died because of inflation, which means that money is becoming less and less valuable.The Ming Dynasty is the most bizarre.Actually deflationary?
In other words, money is becoming more and more valuable, which is simply unreasonable in other dynasties.Because inflation, in fact, is equivalent to the government's disguised harvest of private wealth.Chongzhen looked at the bartering people on the street and wondered.In the future, I will definitely find paper money, replace copper and silver, and devalue all the silver that has been stored.However, although Chongzhen has this heart.But he also knew that it was very difficult to really implement it, because the Ming Dynasty had implemented treasure money before.However, because the Ming government did not have enough reserves of gold and silver, and the government issued too many treasure banknotes, the credit of the treasure banknotes was zero.Rush to issue new banknotes.The common people will definitely resist, and when the time comes, they will fall into the same situation as the friends of the Song Dynasty and the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty.It's not even as good as Jiaozi and treasure money.Jiaozi and Bao banknotes are still in circulation, and his newly issued banknotes will definitely not even be in circulation.Chongzhen walked to a jewelry shop, and he was going to choose a gift for the queen to go back.After the last Donglin Party murder incident, the queen's three views were very hit, and she had been depressed for a long time.Chongzhen walked into this jewelry shop, but saw that all kinds of jewelry were dazzling, and some styles were more exquisite than those made in the inner court, and Chongzhen was not ready to choose very expensive.The queen is too frugal, and when she chooses to be expensive, she has to say a lot of reasoning, and Chongzhen doesn't like to listen to it.In the end, Chongzhen chose a very thin silver chain for the queen, and the most expensive and best jewelry for Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Jiao.This year, the people in the capital are very rich, but the Jianyu is miserable.After Huang Taiji's army was defeated and retreated to Shengjing, Jianyu lost a large number of cavalry, horses, and heavy armor, and it was estimated that he would not be able to break the border within a few years.But if there is a natural disaster in the Ming Dynasty, it will also happen to Jianyu?
Not being able to attack the Ming Dynasty means that there is no food, and without food, thousands of Jianyu people are on the verge of starvation and death.There was no way, and Huang Taiji could only lock his eyes on small countries such as North Korea.Thank you for my peace of classmates, big flower blue, and big face cat for the reward, thank you!
This chapter seems to make too much sense, but it doesn't work if you don't talk about it, and if you don't explain the background clearly, it will be difficult for the following storyline to develop.And Yingluo actually caught a cold today, and now the weather is too hot, and she has to blow the air conditioner, but when she blows, people catch a cold and are depressed.
