Chapter 447: I Can't Bear It (First Update)

"Oh? What is Yomei's best plan? Hearing Liu Hongjian say this, Chongzhen's face immediately became slightly excited.

After all, when it comes to silver, tying the ministers in the court together is not worth a Liu Youming.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to understand the second half of what the minister just said." Liu Hong shook his head slightly and sighed.

I really thought the money was blowing in the wind!

When did Liu Hong get the money that he gradually got by risking his life in the world, and which time was he not exchanged for the bloody wind of killing?

Now those uncles in the court are polite to themselves, that's because they can't do anything about him now, who knows how to scold him behind his back.

It's light to scold him, so I can't curse him behind my back, and curse him to go to the west as soon as possible.

He has a lot of credit and power now, and others can't do anything about him, he can suppress those disobedient old miscellaneous hairs again and again.

But don't forget, he's just fighting alone, and oh, there's an uncle who is 'in the middle of the day'.

Which courtier does not have a large number of disciples behind him, and which courtier does not have the filial piety of a giant behind him, can he count on the pitiful salary issued by the imperial court?

The ministers can experience defeat again and again, but it doesn't matter, Zhang San and Li Si are dead, they are not fighting alone!

But Liu Hong is gradually not good, if he falls, he can only be greeted by 100,000 feet, now Chongzhen is alive and easy to say, what about the future?

These old guys have always been submissive, are they really subservient?

Uncle, you want to make silver, right, you can carry this pot!

"The second half of the sentence? Do you dare to do it? Do you dare to take the blame? To whom to attack and what pot to carry? Chongzhen didn't know why, but fortunately, he knew how to ask shamelessly.

"Our Daming has never been short of silver, not only is there no shortage, but also very rich, and the wealth makes the emperor unbelievable!" Liu Hongjian did not answer Chongzhen directly, he was afraid that he would scare the uncle by saying it directly.

Whether it is the Han and Tang dynasties or the two Song dynasties until the Ming Dynasty, the trade with foreign countries in the land of the Chinese nation has always been in surplus, to be precise, silver has always flowed from the outside to the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

Taking the Song Dynasty and the Great Liao and Western Xia as examples, the Song Dynasty had silk, tea, and porcelain, and the Great Liao and Western Xia had war horses, cattle and sheep.

The Song Dynasty could produce cloth, rice paper, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and all the needs of the people, while the Great Liao and Western Xia still only had war horses, cattle and sheep.

War horses, cattle and sheep are all low value-added things, while silk, tea and porcelain are different, these things are only available in Huaxia, and they are all consumables, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.

The same is true of the Ming and Qing dynasties, for hundreds of years, Huaxia has always done business with other countries, and silver has always flowed to Huaxia, and it has never lost money.

It wasn't until 300 years later that a group of robbers felt that this was not an option, and opened the gates of China with cannons to reverse the disadvantage of the trade deficit.

However, whether it was between the Song and Liao, the Ming and the Qing, the mutual market was only official, that is, the trade between the two imperial courts.

Why not just trade freely like the Hereafter?

The problem is very simple, nomads are also afraid! They are afraid that they will lose in the end, and they will not even have their pants.

So the question is, since the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are so awesome, why is the imperial court always poor? What about money? Where did all the money go?

Of course, Liu Hongjian knew, and many courtiers should also know, but Chongzhen didn't know.

If it weren't for Liu Hong's gradual acquisition of that lot of silver from the corrupt official's family in front of Chongzhen, it is estimated that Chongzhen would not have known that the humerus who quarreled with him in patched clothes were so rich.

Co-authored himself is really poor!

But his imagination only stops there, and his thinking mode limits Chongzhen's imagination.

"Youming, don't sell it, hurry up and talk to me." Seeing that Liu Hong gradually began to put on a score (forced) again, Chongzhen had to urge.

"According to the minister's estimate, not counting the ones copied by the minister's family, the amount of silver stored in our Ming Dynasty territory is at least this number!" Liu Hong gradually stretched out his right hand and opened his palm to signal to Chongzhen.

"Five million taels?"

"The emperor guesses again!" Liu Hong gradually shook his head, just kidding! Use your imagination, uncle!

"50 million taels ?!!" Chongzhen couldn't believe it, in his opinion, 50 million taels was almost the limit, after all, Liu Hongjian had to kill corrupt officials and giant businessmen to make so much.

"No, no, five hundred million taels, at least five hundred million taels." Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and did not forget to repeat it.

The north is so poor that it can fish out 100 million taels, but what about the south? Since ancient times, the south has been rich, and the wealthy merchants and nobles have annexed land, business, and smuggling, how much wealth do they have? ?

"Five hundred million taels! Also at least ...... How can it be! Chongzhen is like being electrocuted, he has been an emperor for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard such a large number.

"Youming, are you a fool? No matter how difficult it is, let's figure out a way. Chongzhen's mouth twitched.

How could the Ming Dynasty have so much silver, if the people of the Ming Dynasty were so rich, why would they still rebel? Chongzhen also thought that Liu Hongjian would paint him cakes again to satisfy his hunger.

Poverty limits his imagination.

"Nobles, rich merchants in the south, landlords!" Liu Hongjian still did not answer Chongzhen's question, he smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, and added himself a glass of wine.

The rich families in the north were basically masturbated by him, and Liu Hong gradually deliberately canceled the north.

"Profiteers mislead the country, I have always been clear, and I have always been suppressing businessmen, but I ......" Chongzhen still doesn't believe that the nobles who rest with the country are so rich.

As far as he knew, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty had been very miserable recently.

"The minister only asked the emperor, if they are really rich and don't want to take it out when the country is in trouble, can the minister take it himself on behalf of the emperor?" Liu Hong gradually drank a glass of spirits and said.

It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the facts speak for themselves, if you have soldiers in your hands, you are not afraid, his idea is very simple, don't give it, Lao Tzu will rob it.

When the silver is piled up in front of your Qianqing Palace, you will not be allowed to believe it at that time.

"Youming can't talk nonsense, I'll discuss it after I go back to find out, let's rest early, I'm a little tired." Chongzhen was confused by Liu Hongji's words, and rubbed his forehead with his left hand.

If Da Ming is so rich, why doesn't he know?

Among the heroes of the dynasty who retired with the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Kui has a little capital He knows, Zhou Kui is slamming the door again, it is still his father-in-law, and the son-in-law is going to rob the father-in-law?

Are you kidding? He is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

The two veins of Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong have been resting with the country for more than 200 years, and they should also have some family property, but their ancestors have all made great contributions to the Celestial Empire.

There are also Cao Guogong, Zheng Guogong, and Wei Guogong......

The Zhu family has always treated nobles preferentially, as a descendant of the Zhu family, how could he bear to take away the family property of the descendants of the heroes who helped the Zhu family build the country?

But...... Alas! Chongzhen felt very embarrassed, at this moment he hoped that Liu Hong would gradually lie to him.

Liu Hong gradually saw that Chongzhen didn't say much, he bowed and withdrew from the big tent, but there was a slight smile on his face.

He knew that sooner or later Chongzhen would agree.
