Chapter 32 Arrogance
As the saying goes, even the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.
It’s impossible to go to war if you can’t even eat enough.
"This inflation is really terrible."
"Yes, it's really scary."
"Fortunately we discovered it in time."
“…”
The others also said with fear on their faces.
You should know that most of their salary was paid with the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote.
"My benefactor, how much impact can this inflation have on our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao asked with a serious expression.
He had a terrible guess that the terrible consequences of inflation were far more than that, but the other party had not yet spoken out.
"It's nothing, at most the country is overturned, and the people in the world are just living in poverty.
"Boy Fang, the old man doesn't like to listen to you. Isn't the emperor just sending out a little more treasure money? Why is it even unstable for the country and the country?"
As soon as Fang Shiyu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang next to him asked in dissatisfaction.
Although he had realized the terrible consequences of inflation, he never expected that it would be so terrible.
If it was really as Fang Boy said, wouldn’t I almost ruined the country I had built with my own hands?
"The savings you accumulated for half your life will be gone like this. If it were you, would you be angry?"
"This is the imperial court used valuable waste paper to exchange real money and silver from the people, as well as food that depend on for life."
"To put it simply, this is to compete with the people for profit and take away their wealth from the people through imperial power."
"I believe that no matter who it is, they will be forced to rebel."
Fang Shiyu said with a serious expression.
Looking at the past and present, the fall of governments in various countries has been without the shadow of inflation.
Fang Shiyu often saw on later TV news that someone’s salary just paid in the morning was depreciated by more than half in the afternoon.
How could a currency like this and a country like this prosper?
The common people can only be forced to rebel and resist.
Hearing Fang Shiyu's words, everyone's backs were wet with cold sweat.
From ancient times to the present, the people of Yanhuang have been simple and kind.
As long as you can give him some food and a little hope, they will be peaceful.
But if you don’t even give them hope, and you have to grab food from them, then do you think the people should fight you?
Zhu Yuanzhang and others have experienced social unrest. They know very well in their hearts that when the people are forced to go to the forefront, in despair, they will burst out with strong combat effectiveness.
Didn’t the Mongol Yuan cavalry, who once swept across the country from all directions, be driven away by these unarmed countrymen?
"Now you understand, why do I say that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Emperor of Tartars!"
"The emperor today has no economic mind. Compared with the Emperor of the Tartar, he is just a child who has just learned to speak."
“It cannot be compared.”
Fang Shiyu shook her head and said with a sigh.
"I wonder, there are Tartar emperors today. Don't they all issue banknotes? But why do you say that Tartar emperors are better than the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Why is it getting worse when I hear it?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Fang Shiyu in front of him say that he was not as good as the emperor of the Tartars, he was furious.
I have accepted the consequences of issuing treasure money, which has led to inflation.
But if you want to say that I, Zhu Yuanzhang, is not as good as the Emperor of the Tartars, I don’t agree with it.
Although he was distributing treasure money indiscriminately, the Tartar emperor did not have any seals.
Why do you say that the Tartar Emperor is better than me, Zhu Yuanzhang?
I have to give me a reason.
"You know nothing!"
"Why do I say that the Tartar emperor is smart? He is smart enough. He not only issues paper money, but also regularly collects it from the public, and destroys some of the paper money to keep the banknotes within the country within a stable range."
"It's not like my Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who only knew how to send money randomly and didn't know how to take it back and destroy it. He had never considered the consequences of indiscriminately issuing treasure money."
"You have all experienced the rule of the Mongol Yuan. Are you saying what I said right?"
Fang Shiyu looked at Xu Da and Wu Lin with a serious look, hoping that the other party would stand up for him.
"What did you say? I just drank a little bit more wine, and now I'm a little dizzy, and I can't hear clearly."
"What's going on? Why do I feel like my ears are a little back and I can't hear anything."
"You see, the weather is really good today, I really want to fall asleep like this."
"Young Master Fang, you see that the weather is so beautiful, why don't we go fishing in the suburbs together. I happened to have learned a way to steam grass carp recently."
“…”
Li Shanchang and Wu Lin escaped Fang Shiyu's inquiry, but they did not dare to answer.
Of course they knew in their hearts that even if the Mongol Yuan was about to end, the ingots and crosses they printed were very useful.
But if we really say this, wouldn’t it be equivalent to slapping His Majesty in the face in public?
Mr. Fang is really sorry, we want to live for a few more years.
"I dare to ask my benefactor, why the banknotes printed by the Tartars will not depreciate? Is there any mystery that we are unknown to people?"
Although no one paid attention to him, Zhu Biao's inquiry made Fang Shiyu very satisfied.
Others are afraid of the current emperor, but Zhu Biao is not.
As the first heir to the throne, Zhu Biao was very concerned about the stability of the Ming Dynasty in Italy.
"The reason is very simple, because there are capable talents under the command of the Tartar Emperor."
Fang Shiyu nodded with satisfaction when he looked at Zhu Biao.
This kid is pretty good.
At the critical moment, I still know that I can come out to praise myself!
"Little bastard, what do you want to express in this sentence? Do you look down on the ministers under the current emperor?"
"It's right. Today you have to tell us something about it, what are the talents under the Tartar Emperor?"
"This kid is so arrogant."
“…”
Fang Shiyu's words immediately aroused public anger.
Except for Zhu Biao and his son, the others were all gazing at each other.
What does this little bastard mean?
The Tartar Emperor has talents, is there no talents under my command?
Do you really think we are drinking porridge?
"Shut up, shut up all of me."
Fang Shiyu pressed his hands down with great force, and then looked at the old men in front of him with confusion.
"I said, what do you guys call each one of you? Is there any talent in the court? What does it matter to you little officials who are big as sesame and green beans?"
"How come one by one learns the bad habit of Lao Zhu's head? I'm so excited before I finished speaking."
"You know, what I'm talking about is Li Shanchang and Xu Da, the important officials of the court."
"You little officials who are not included in the rank of the festival, you just want me to scold me, and I feel like I'm wasting my saliva."
"puff!"
Li Shanchang and Xu Da almost got bleeding after hearing Fang Shiyu's words.
What do you mean by Li Shanchang and Xu Da?
You are no longer criticizing others.
You cursed in front of us and almost didn't spit on our faces.
It's really annoying.
It turned out that the clown jumping is actually himself.
