"hehe!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi laughed again, and Zhang Meng on the side also lowered his head and smiled, unable to help laughing.
Xu Huizu's face turned red. He knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "I am stupid, please express it clearly!"
"Tell him!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile while eating peach cake.
"My lord, the first half of your sentence is correct. You used the money made by my Ming Dynasty. But the second half of your sentence is wrong. The money you used is definitely not the current money of my Ming Dynasty!"
While speaking something like a tongue twister, Zhang Yan slowly took out a copper coin from his sleeve.
The copper coins are very old and white in color. The reason for the whiteness is that there is too much lead in the coins.
"Isn't this a bad coin issued by the previous dynasty?" Xu Huizu was even more confused.
"Bad coins are also coins. Who told them not to mint their own coins?" Zhang Yan chuckled, his eyes full of slyness like an old fox, "The copper coins of the Ming Dynasty are seven copper and three lead, and the same is true for silver coins. Such a ratio has been used in all dynasties.
It’s always good money!”
"My lord, you don't understand. The court actually suffers a loss when it mints good money. Because the more it mints, the less copper and silver reserves the court has. This is the reason why bad coins became so popular every time the dynasty declined!
Because bad money and good money are both money and can buy the same thing. But the court paid less but bought the same thing. Did the court take advantage of the people?"
Xu Huizu scratched his head. The more he listened, the less he understood.
"When it comes to this dynasty, the emperor would rather the court suffer a loss than issue good coins in order to stabilize prices and unify standards!" Zhang Yan said again, "But for the surrounding countries, bad coins are better!"
Xu Huizu seemed to understand and said, "Use this kind of white, bad currency with more lead than copper to buy good things from Burma?"
"For the time being, yes!" Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Let them spend our Ming Dynasty's bad money!"
Xu Huizu was confused again, "But... if they buy something from us, wouldn't they also use bad currency?"
"How stupid!"
Zhang Ming thought to himself, but frowned and smiled, "The people of the Ming Dynasty are better than monkeys at sticking hair on their hair, so naturally they barter? Who would want their bad coins? In our Ming Dynasty, bad coins are also
If you can’t spend money, you will be easily arrested by the government!”
"Okay, okay!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't tell him this. How can he, a general, understand this?"
Myanmar's market and economy are just a blank piece of paper on which the Ming Empire can paint. Whatever they paint, Myanmar will be.
"Go back to Lian Zining and send all the bad coins in the treasury to Burma to be used as military supplies." Zhu Yunxi said again, "Let the soldiers purchase them on the spot, and then in the meantime, use all their strength to cast them for me.
New money!" He said, sipping tea, "New money specially used in Burma!"
"I obey the order!" Zhang Yan said, looking up at Zhu Yunxi, "I think that in fact, the bad coins of five points of copper and five points of lead are somewhat undesirable, because they contain too much copper. I wonder if it is Sanqi.
..." At this point, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's expression and changed his words, "How about four or six?"
"Ha! Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming, I thought you were just a pickpocket! Unexpectedly, you are still a profiteer!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and scolded, "It's up to you! Anyway, the people over there have never seen money. Whatever you give them, they will spend it.
!”
The best way to destroy a country or even a race is not war.
But economy and culture!
The economy makes people poor, and culture makes people lose their faith and inheritance.
Think about it, when a person is both poor and has no faith, how can he talk about courage and spirit?
"I have one more thing!" Zhang Yan said again, "Since the war in Burma has begun, the transfer of the clan to the vassal state must be put on the agenda immediately!" He said, paused, "In addition, the marriage with the king of Burma, but
The heart of the King of An-Mian Land!"
Indeed, marriage is indeed the only way to build a closer relationship.
In the center of the Ming Dynasty, these elites who were not good people opened their doors and supported the puppet king to establish the puppet dynasty. This was to prepare dowries for the idle clans of the Ming Dynasty who were about to marry the daughter of the earth king.
When the time comes, these things will naturally become my Ming Dynasty’s things.
I marry your daughter because I think highly of you!
If I want your things, I’m giving you face!
Bah, if it weren't for your little things, who the hell would marry your daughter?
As far as the local kings of Burma are concerned, having another uncle from the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be a bad thing.
"Besides!" Zhang Zhen said again, "For example, the King of Yangon, since he surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, he must have an attitude. I think that he should build the prince's palace in the capital and welcome his son to study in the capital and be educated by the Ming Dynasty!"
After saying that, he paused and said, "The specifications can be higher!"
"No matter how high it is, it's still a proton!" Xu Huizu next to him thought to himself, "It is estimated that the sons of the earth kings will die of unknown diseases in the capital within ten years!"
"What Ai Qing said is true..." Zhu Yunxi showed his signature action again, "Then Ai Qing thinks, who among the clan should be sent first for the marriage?"
Nowadays, most of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are in the capital, and their sons are naturally in the capital. However, judging from the current trend, these vassal kings and their sons must not be interested in this kind of marriage.
It is deeply abhorrent for a foreign woman to be a legitimate wife.
"Well..." Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, "This matter is not under my control, and I dare not speak out!"
Suddenly, Xu Huizu next to him felt his heart skip a beat.
I heard Zhang Yan continue to say, "The Zongzheng Mansion has always been in charge of His Royal Highness, and when it comes to family matters like this, I think it is best for him! I am an outsider after all!"
"My nephew is taking the blame again!" Xu Huizu thought to himself.
At the same time, he looked at Zhang Yan, "He... I never thought he was so bad before!"
"Yes! What Ai Qing said is true!" Zhu Yunxi nodded immediately, "pass the decree to Hong Xi, asking him to select outstanding talents from the clan members to go to Burma!" He said with a smile, "Since we want to get married, then
It’s the best of both worlds. Ministry of Household Affairs, don’t be stingy with money!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Your Majesty, why can't this money come from the Ministry of Revenue? It's the Lifanyuan and Zongzheng Mansion who should pay for it!" Zhang Zhen said, "Besides, how can the Ministry of Revenue still have money now! It was just given to Bao Shipyard yesterday, and it's their turn to pay.
Five hundred thousand has been allocated."
Immediately, he started to read, "The account books of Bao Shipyard are all in the hands of Cao Guogong. He will ask people to ask for money from me. As soon as I ask him to check the accounts, he will start to shirk. There is also the Firearms Foundry Bureau, which is a big hole.
The money is gone!”
Hearing him say this, Zhu Yunhe felt very worried.
"However, Yang Shiqi, the owner of the Bao Shipyard, is quite a capable person!" Zhang Yan pondered and continued, "He has also been to Japan as an envoy. This time he sent an envoy to Burma to appease the Tuwang and support the new dynasty.
I thought he was a viable candidate!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at him and knew that Zhang Yan had something private inside.
If Yang Shiqi goes to Myanmar, the director of the Bao Shipyard will have to be replaced, and Zhang Yan, the head steward of the household department, can legitimately put his hand in it.
It is not entirely true to say that Zhang Zhen had the intention to fight for power. He just couldn't see anyone asking for money and then refused to show the ledger.
Of course, only God knows if he also means to kick Li Jinglong!
"Well, that's great!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Just him! He is also a rare talent, so he might as well go out and get some experience!"
The reason why he still wanted to use Yang Shiqi to understand Zhang Yan's thoughts was because in Zhu Yunxi's heart, he felt that it was time for one of the three future princes of the Ming Dynasty to stand alone.
If it is gold, let it shine!
And Li Jinglong made such a big mistake, he must be taught a lesson!
At this moment, Deng Ping came in from the outside, walked to Zhu Yunxi and said softly, "Your Majesty, Guo Guanseng, a member of the Jinyi Guards, is here and is waiting outside to see you!"
Zhu Yunxi lowered his eyes, "I know, let him wait!"
