As the old saying goes, the emperor is not in need of soldiers who starve to death!
Lan Yu finally understood it now. At that time, he couldn't just go out on the prairie to kill people on an empty stomach, right?
"This thing is so terrifying!"
"So scary!"
"Good thing we know now!"
"terrible!"
"..."
The expressions of a group of people suddenly changed, and they looked frightened.
"Then if so-called inflation really happened, how big of an impact would it have on the Ming Dynasty?"
After Zhu Zhiji finished, he raised his head and asked again.
Zhu Biao realized that the negative impact of inflation was probably not just what Zhu Ying said.
"How big of an impact will it have? It means that the country changes hands, refugees are everywhere, and the world is in chaos."
"Eh? You little bastard, what are you talking about? Didn't Your Majesty just print more banknotes? How come even the country has to change hands and the world is going to be in chaos?"
As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang became furious.
Although he already knew that the negative effects of this thing were terrible, he didn't expect that it would be so terrible!
If it were true, wouldn't it mean that he shot himself in the foot? The country he finally conquered was destroyed in his own hands?
"What? You don't believe it?"
"I would like to ask you, you have worked hard for most of your life, and suddenly one day, the Ming Dynasty treasure money in your hands turned into waste paper, and all your efforts in the first half of your life were in vain. What will happen to you?"
"You must know that the imperial court just used some white paper, stamped a few seals and wrote a few words, and collected all the wealth in everyone's hands into the treasury."
"At that time, the people will not even be able to afford food. To put it seriously, this is competing with the people for profit. Your Majesty uses the power in his hands to directly pluck all the wool. He even cuts the leeks and leaves a prong. This trick is simply
Just uproot it!”
"When that time comes, if the people can no longer afford food, what will happen?"
Zhu Ying said with a serious face.
In ancient and modern times, all dynasty overthrows at home and abroad have the shadow of inflation.
If you look at Zimbabwe, you will know how powerful this influence is.
Once inflation occurs in a country, the country will be impoverished and its people will not have enough to eat, or it will be destroyed!
When Zhu Ying finished speaking, everyone took a deep breath.
The common people in China actually want very simple things. They are satisfied with having their own three-quarters of an acre of land and having a hot meal.
But once they can no longer afford to eat, you still have to dig food from their teeth. The result will be that the government forces the people to rebel.
People like Zhu Yuanzhang, in particular, had a clear understanding of this. Once the people ran out of food, rebellion would be a certainty.
Look at those Tatars who were riding horses and being arrogant and domineering everywhere in the previous dynasty. In the end, were they defeated at the hands of a group of hungry people like them?
"What? Do you believe it now? Our Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty is indeed not as effective as the Emperor of the Tatars at this point!"
"Actually, Emperor Hongwu was not without any economic acumen, but compared with the Tatar Emperor, he was far inferior."
Zhu Ying sighed and said.
"Why is it so far inferior? Whether it is our Hongwu Emperor or the Tatar Emperor, don't they all do the same thing? Why is it okay for the Tatar Emperor, but not our Ming Emperor?"
"Are you, little bastard, following our Majesty?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ying mention again that he was not as good as the Tatar Emperor, he became furious again.
We don’t understand economics, and the random issuance of Ming Dynasty banknotes has led to inflation. We also admit that this is a drawback!
But you little bastard, you are not as good as the Tatar Emperor when you open your mouth and keep silent, we can't bear this tone!
We have printed and distributed quite a few!
The Tatar emperor printed and distributed quite a lot!
Everyone wants to be emperor, why does it become a disadvantage when it comes to us?
How about worse than the Tatar Emperor?
"It's superficial, isn't it?"
"Although he did the same thing, the Tatar Emperor did one more thing, that is, he would collect banknotes from the market from time to time. If he found that there were too many banknotes, he would destroy some of them and let them go.
The amount of banknotes is under control."
"Look at the Ming Dynasty. It only prints and distributes it, and neither recycles nor destroys it. Emperor Hongwu is not aware of the harm caused by excessive amounts of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes!"
"You have also lived under the rule of the Tatar emperor. I believe you all know this, right?"
Zhu Ying looked around and asked slowly.
"Well, I drank too much just now, and my brain is a little confused. I didn't hear what you were saying clearly!"
"What's going on? Why is my head buzzing? Why can't I hear anything?"
"The sun is so bright today! It feels so comfortable to be exposed to the sun!"
"Yes, yes, this kind of good weather is rare. Let's take a comfortable nap in the sun!"
...
When everyone saw Zhu Ying looking at him, they all avoided their eyes and looked around at him.
Although they all agree with Zhu Ying's point of view, even if the Tatars are now driven to the prairie to drink in the wind, the ingots of the previous dynasty still have the ability to pay money.
But the problem is, Your Majesty is here, you little brat is asking us this, do we dare to speak?
Your boy is the emperor's eldest grandson, so of course we are not afraid, but ten of us don't dare to offend His Majesty!
Didn’t you little bastard ask us to commit suicide with you?
"Why don't Tatar banknotes have problems, but we have problems? What is the reason?"
Xu Da and the others were too scared to say anything, but Prince Zhu Biao was naturally not afraid, so he raised his head again and asked.
"The reason? The reason is that you don't know what is most important!"
"That's talent!"
"The Tatar Emperor has talents in this field!"
Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Biao appreciatively.
"Huh? We don't like hearing what you are saying? Are you saying that our Majesty has no talents?"
"What do you mean, kid? Are you saying that all the civil and military officials of our Ming Dynasty are useless?"
"It's crazy! It's so crazy!"
...
When Zhu Ying finished speaking, everyone was immediately filled with indignation.
At this time, except Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son, everyone else was instantly furious.
If your kid is not the eldest grandson of the emperor, how about we let your kid know that there is no use in beating him when he comes out?
It’s about power and background!
The Tatar Emperor has talented people, but don’t we, the Ming Emperor, have talented people?
In your eyes, we are all deadbeats, right?
"Aren't you convinced?"
Zhu Ying glanced at these bad old men with disdain.
"Besides, let's take a step back. Do you have any talents under His Majesty the Emperor? What will it do to you bunch of sesame officials?"
"The talent I'm talking about has nothing to do with officials like you!"
"I am referring to high-ranking officials like Xu Da, Li Shanchang, and Wu Lin!"
"With your level, can I, the young master, bury you and eliminate you?"
"puff!"
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Elder Li Shan's face turned pale and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
