Zhu Di is annoyed with Liu Chun now, he feels that he is completely led by Liu Chun's nose, a dignified son of heaven, has become an old cow, surnamed Liu, you are so hateful, when the trouble is gone, I must find an excuse to do you.

"You are asking me to borrow debts, and you are asking me to issue more currency, if you want to make a big mess tomorrow, just say it, you don't have to come up with these bad ideas that will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

Liu Chun was serious, waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you have wronged the minister again, the idea that the minister gave you will only make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous, and it will definitely not bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Liu Chun, you don't play tricks on me, in a word, your set works, I can give you a disciple, if it doesn't work, I will abolish you!" ”

Zhu Di's eyes stood up, what else could Liu Chun say, he had settled this apprentice!

First of all, the currency of this thing, of course, can not be issued casually, more will definitely happen, but at the same time the currency can not be less, in fact, due to the lack of precious metals, ancient China has been in a state of deflation, very helpless, like what Jiaozi, iron money, all are forced out.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have the most vast treasure in Daming, which has not been unearthed, as long as this treasure is opened, the current amount of currency can be increased by at least ten times!"

Zhu Di not only raised his eyebrows, but even his hair was about to rise, do you kid still want to fool me? ”

"What treasure? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Your Majesty, this treasure is the vast countryside."

"Rural?" Zhu Di was puzzled.

Liu Chun said with a smile: "That's right, it's the countryside, in the past, the countryside was controlled by the gentry clan, just like a lock, firmly locked, and now the implementation of the law, these shackles have been broken, and with the advancement of Xingxue, we have got the key to open the treasure." ”

Zhu Di still didn't understand, but Liu Chun's words didn't seem like nonsense, "If you talk more carefully, I have to think about it." ”

"Your Majesty, in the past, the rural people had little leftover, and they had no money in their hands. Basically, they all stay in the stage of male ploughing and female weaving, bartering. The people relied on clan protection to obtain security and order. Now, the old ones have been smashed, the big families are getting fewer and fewer, and the Juntian has been implemented, what does Your Majesty think is the top priority of the peasants? ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "They want to be fed, clothed, build a house, marry a daughter-in-law, and maybe even think about buying land!" ”

Liu Chun stretched out his thumb, "Your Majesty is really wise, these things were all things that farmers wanted to do in the past but couldn't do, and now that they have an opportunity, how can they miss it." Therefore, at present, the countryside is in great need of currency, and it is a massive amount of money! ”

"Really?"

"That's right." Liu Chun sighed with emotion, "Your Majesty, the ministers were also hesitating in the past, after all, many signs are contradictory, and the time to implement Juntian is not long, can the people have accumulation?" This is also the reason why the minister did not dare to issue bonds on a large scale. But this time, when the local officials entered Beijing, they explained the minister's confusion, made the minister suddenly enlightened, and many things were figured out at once. ”

Liu Chun was really not idle, he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the place through conversation.

First of all, after the division of the land, the amount of food supplied to the city decreased, and Liu Chun initially judged that the amount of food rations retained by the people had increased significantly, and as a result, the amount of food flowing into the city decreased. Grain prices in the cities have skyrocketed, and they have to get grain from Annam and other places.

But this time, the local officials, especially Liu Chun's subordinates, brought him some new news.

It is true that the grain left by the peasants increased, but the peasants did not eat it. Instead, it was stored at home as savings.

One of the most obvious proofs of this is that when you get married in the countryside, you often go to see the man's family's grain hoard.

If there is a lot of grain in store and the grain is good, it means that the family will live, and the girl will be willing to marry, otherwise there is the possibility of beating a single. In the final analysis, marriage throughout the ages has been based on economic strength.

What is the reason why people like to store grain?

Dig a little further, and there is a shortage of money. With the end of the Jingyan Campaign, the world was peaceful, and grain prices in the vast Central Plains, the northwest, the Yangtze River valley, and small and medium-sized counties and towns all fell rapidly, and this phenomenon did not contradict the sharp rise in grain prices in the big cities south of the Yangtze River. And also affect each other.

It was precisely the fall in grain prices that caused the peasants to have no desire to sell grain and could not collect grain, and in addition, after the equalization of land, the scattered small peasants caused the transportation costs to skyrocket, so the merchants could not pay the high cost of transporting grain, which also caused the lack of food supply in the large cities with large populations.

Zhu Di's head was big when he heard it, and he felt that the country in his hands was countless times more complicated than that of his father in Japan! My father didn't worry so much about it back then!

Central Plains, Jiangnan, City, Countryside, People, Merchants...... It's a mess.

"Liu Chun, this is all your good work!"

Liu Chun was helpless, "Your Majesty, the minister is also bent on seeking the country, could it be that Your Majesty hopes that the Ming Dynasty will become a state of a small country and a widow?" ”

Zhu Di slapped the table angrily and yelled: "Don't talk nonsense! He calmed down for a moment and said in a muffled voice, "You mean you can issue additional currency?" How much more can be issued? ”

"No, no, no!"

Liu Chun hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty, this matter is not so easy. Chen means that the vast countryside has a strong demand for money. But many people still don't know anything about money, especially paper money. The people must be taught, let them know about paper money, and accept paper money. ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "What do you mean, do you still have to rely on Xingxue?" ”

Liu Chun stroked his palm and said: "That's right, Your Majesty has forgotten that in the textbook compiled by the minister, there is an article dedicated to currency." ”

What else could Zhu Di say, he held back for a long time before he said viciously: "Liu Chun, it's not too much for me to do you a deliberate crime!" You kid is so insidious, with your calculating strength, who can make friends with you! ”

Leaving such a sentence, Zhu Di walked away.

If you don't have friends, you don't have friends, besides, you shout, blow your beard and stare at you, as if you are possessed by "Huang Ama", do you have friends?

Liu Chun took a sip, and suddenly remembered one thing, damn it, Zhu Di, didn't you say that you wanted to apprentice?

I've solved all your problems, why did you run away?

This old Zhu family, sure enough, doesn't have a good thing.

It's all a dry and clean product.

But after all, Liu Chun didn't dare to be careless.

Promoting paper money and allowing the people to accept this piece of paper printed with Lao Zhu's headshot may be more troublesome than Juntian and abolishing the patriarchal law. Similarly, if this piece of paper is accepted by everyone, the rule of the Ming Dynasty will also penetrate into everyone's life, after all, paper money and gold and silver are two completely different things.

Liu Chun carefully drew up a set of strategies.

First of all, the Royal Bank should expand its scale and establish branches in the provinces, state capitals, and even county seats, with branches in economically prosperous areas and offices in backward areas.

Second, in line with the principle of interest-bearing deposits, we should absorb people's deposits.

In Yoo Chun's vision, the finances of the household department and the finance of the Royal Bank are two big hands, and they must move together. On the one hand, the money supply was increased, and the extra money was used to build schools, build roads, and encourage the development of science and technology in the form of imperial court procurement.

On the other hand, banks absorb deposits and absorb the money from fiscal expenditures back to the banks, and at the same time, issue additional bonds to support greater fiscal investment.

Currency and finance were connected, and the two veins of Ren and Du were instantly opened, and they suddenly cultivated into infrastructure madness.

Liu Chun has strong confidence in this set of super exercises.

As long as the technology tree can be lit up quickly, especially after the success of the steam engine, within a few decades, the railways will be all over the Ming Dynasty, and then it will really live up to its name, becoming a heavenly kingdom where the sun and the moon shine forever!

Liu Chun pondered again and again, and the whole set of strategies was flawless, and he finally presented it to Zhu Di.

This time, Zhu Laosi was particularly serious and summoned all the important ministers of the court to the palace.

"Let's figure it out together and see what Lord Liu's strategy is?"

Among the many ministers, the most important are Yu Xin and Xia Yuanji, one of them is in charge of the household department, and the other is in charge of the Royal Bank, which is the key executor of this set of measures.

The two of them looked at the end from the beginning, frowning and thinking from time to time, and when they finally came, Yu Xin said first: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is thoughtful and clever, and the old minister is on the ground. ”

Xia Yuanji also smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of the Royal Bank, but he is not as good as one ten-thousandth of Lord Liu, and he is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian." I really want to follow Lord Liu and listen to the teachings sooner or later! ”

There is another person who wants to apprentice, and some people whose words don't count, should really reflect on it.

Liu Chun has a lovely smile, not arrogant at all, elegant and easy-going, and personable.

Zhu Dixin said, this kid is not sure what to think in his heart!

But in any case, such a big matter as moving the capital made Liu Chun easily resolved, and he also planned a development blueprint for Daming in the next few decades, and Zhu Di couldn't help but express it.

"Liu Chun, over the years, you have worked hard for the country before and after the saddle, it is really not easy! I have long intended to seal your official position, and now it is time to honor it. ”

Zhu Di said loudly: "Jialiu Chun is Fengtianjing's difficult to push the sincere Xuanli Wuchen, the special entry Ronglu doctor, the Zuo Zhuguo, the Zuo Military Governor's Mansion, the Zuo Dushi, the young master, the prince and the prince, and the ......" Here Zhu Di paused for a moment, and then said: "Feng Fu Guogong, ranking first among all the national dukes!" ”

Liu Chun listened silently, and was quite satisfied, but the problem was that he was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, so he should always give Danshu iron coupons, hereditary replacement, right?

Why is this gone, but inexplicably, there is one more who ranks first in the country? The real benefits were not given, but there were many empty checks for the hatred value, Zhu Laosi, you have gone too far!

"Yoo Chun, it's time to be grateful." Zhu Di smiled, his face was full of sincerity, and he simply regarded Liu Chun as a henchman among his henchmen.

Liu Chun had no choice but to kneel, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace!" ”
