Chapter 842 The only way to defeat the Ming Dynasty

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty built a vault to be issued, and there was still a lot of preparations to be done. The Ministry of Revenue has been waiting for this day for almost two hundred years. Without a stable monetary policy, the Ministry of Revenue would not be able to do it if it wanted to issue money.

The Ministry of Revenue has made all preparations, learned a lot of experience, and prepared for issuing money.

The Ministry of Revenue is fully responsible for issuing money. The minister in charge of the seal is in charge of the seal. He has created 36 official money shops in Shuntian Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, and has connected with the acceptance and exchange business of the Ming Huitongguanye. People can use the miscellaneous silver in their hands to exchange treasure money for treasure money, and they can also exchange treasure money for silver coins and Wanli Tongbao.

The Baochao Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue is under the jurisdiction of the printing factory, which is specifically responsible for printing money; the paper mill is responsible for making abaca paper, which determines the amount of abaca used every year, and the subtle differences in abaca content are also an important part of anti-counterfeiting; the ink workshop is responsible for the production of special printing and dyes, etc. The Baochao Bureau itself is in charge of seven official factories, which were originally responsible for printing the treasure banknotes of Japan and the treasure banknotes of overseas, but now there is an additional Daming treasure banknote.

In addition to the 1.2 million taels of gold from the treasury, the Ministry of Revenue has also prepared eight treasuries to deal with possible runs. According to the experience of issuing money overseas, at least 30% of the reserves must be prepared to deal with the risk of runs. Shuntian Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture each prepared 700,000 silver coins to deal with possible runs.

The Ministry of Revenue has also set up an emergency leveling database in the north and south Beijings, and has stored an additional reserve silver with 10% of the amount of money issuance to prevent the run from spreading into panic.

In addition, the five governors' offices in the two capitals and 16 provinces of the Ming Dynasty were preparing to build the Baochao Tuan Jue Department. This is the construction of the Ming Dynasty. The Baochao Tuan Jue Departments of each province were responsible for the handover and exchange of Baochao Tuan Jue Departments in various places.

The most important thing is that after His Majesty’s approval, the Ministry of Revenue opened up the government wall of the Taxation Institute in the issuance of money.

The first and second time you pay the tax, you can use Baochao to pay the tax. The third time is not necessary, and the third time is a house search. Moreover, the anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting of Baochao in various places are fully responsible by the Taxation Institute, which belongs to the North and South Town Fushi Department.

The Ministry of Revenue has also established a new four-pillar auditing method: old management (last month's balance), new collection (issuance this month), expulsion (recycling and destruction), and real (market circulation), to comprehensively audit the administrative work of issuance. If these four sets of accounts do not match, it is rebellion!

You should know that Wanli New Baochao was a gold ticket written by the court and obtained from Tonghe Palace. Baochao was His Majesty’s gold.

The four sets of accounts cannot match, and the private seal of treasure money is to steal His Majesty's gold. It's okay to steal anything else, but he dares to steal His Majesty's money. How can you bear it if your Majesty is so frugal!

"Uh, did you just send it smoothly?" Zhu Yijun looked at the Ministry of Revenue's report and the 2 million stakes of the first issue of the issuance of the 2 million stakes were completed in just three days.

Feng Bao whispered: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has shortage of money, only two million guan, which is only 20 million guan, and it can be issued. Money is easier to use than money. Just like many people use the silver notes from private money houses, in the eyes of thousands of people, this treasure notes are actually silver notes from official money houses."

The real money and silver are sent to the money shop and exchanged for silver notes. They also have to pay a management fee with a considerable commission. They have to pay more money when they accept and exchange it in another place. A piece of broken paper represents dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. This behavior seems to be an act that will only be done if the brain is kicked by a donkey.

The little landlords of the local gentry would think so, because they are small landlords and the end-of-producers of the small peasant economy. They can be self-sufficient and exchange goods with the outside world at a very low frequency, and real money can meet the needs of use.

However, for wealthy businessmen and powerful people, silver notes are really good because they trade very frequently. Compared with precious metal currencies, precious metal currencies have natural disadvantages in portability, division, pricing, purity, and cross-regional trade.

The silver ingots in various places of the Ming Dynasty are completely different, including silver ingots, silver ingots, silver ingots, silver plates, horseshoe silver, round, flat, square, small ingots, etc., which are all kinds of anti-counterfeiting methods in various places. If the counterfeiting of silver ingots is really the Eight Immortals who show their magical powers across the sea.

The difference in silver ingots in different regions causes cross-regional trade to be melted into a local form, which will cause fire consumption. The amount of fire consumption depends entirely on the conscience of the government offices in various regions.

One problem with the private banking is that it is highly regional. You can use the Wang Family in Puzhou, but you can't use it when you arrive in Songjiang Prefecture. Songjiang Prefecture does not recognize Puzhou silver notes, and Puzhou does not recognize Songjiang Prefecture's silver notes. Sometimes, even one family does not recognize it.

Silver coins have solved these difficulties well, but they are still not as convenient as silver notes, because silver coins also have weight, so carrying them is not particularly convenient.

The first time the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued money in his hinterland, he was directly robbed in three days, because the Ming Dynasty was in a shortage of money as a whole, and had a massive demand for more convenient and more credible currencies. Even many treasure money that should have been circulated in the overseas Governor's Office were quietly circulating in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.

The Ministry of Revenue has made sufficient preparations and seems to have been a bit too hard. The people of the Ming Dynasty did not refuse the issuance of Wanli Baochao. They even hope that the court can control the Baochao well, not let counterfeit currency flood, and not over-issuance for no reason, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can have money and use it.

"Gao Honglu told the Spanish envoy Pedro: It is easy to make plans for governing strong, but it is difficult to make plans for weak and chaos. I am sincere and do not deceive me." Zhu Yijun also sighed that when he is moving upward, some seemingly simple systems can be implemented. When he is weak and chaos, no matter how exquisitely you design, the government orders still cannot be implemented.

The smooth issuance of Baochao is essentially a restoration of the confidence of the Ming Dynasty, but the institutional construction of the emperor and the court is a guarantee for the Baochao of the Ming Dynasty.

Without a complete institutional design, when the Ming Dynasty entered a downward cycle, any subtle fluctuations would lead to a total collapse of confidence.

On June 7, 16th year of Wanli, a very special guest came to the Sierra Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese king and his family entered the Sierrara Pavilion. Oda City asked the Ministry of Rites and confirmed that the emperor was not going to summon the Japanese king, but arranged for the Japanese king and Ashikaga Yoshiaki to be neighbors and paid a salary with the treatment of a fifth-rank official.

Like in Japan, the king of Japanese kingdom, except for the descendants who inherited the hereditary throne, all the descendants were sent to temples to become monks and were not allowed to reproduce. In fact, they were imprisoned in another place.

"Envoy Li, I don't understand. According to your introduction, this Japanese king is the nominal supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Japan. Just like the Pope, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the existence of this Japanese king itself is an usurpation of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power. Why did the Ming Dynasty not kill him in Japan, but arranged for him to live in the Ming Dynasty?" Pedro was very confused about the fact that the King of Japan entered the capital.

There is no religion in the Ming Dynasty, and the supreme one is the emperor. The Japanese king usurped himself and became the emperor. It deserves to be damned.

But the Ming Dynasty left behind the King of Japanese.

Li Yashi looked at the Japanese king's family and whispered: "You must be careful of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty. The strict talent selection system of the Ming Dynasty screened them out of the crowd. Of course, their wisdom is worthy of recognition, but their moral bottom line is very flexible."

"This move by the Ming Dynasty will prevent the evildoers in Japan from being punished."

Those who commit evil will eventually be punished and must be responsible for their mistakes. This is the most basic guarantee for the operation of a society. When those who commit evil will not be punished, no one will be responsible for their mistakes. Everything in society will collapse.

"I don't understand." Pedro was Felipe's court secretary. He didn't know anything about government affairs, but he didn't understand what Leya was really saying.

"The Ming Dynasty made the King of Japan die, and it was cruel to let him live." Li Yashi sighed. He understood the emperor's arrangement. It was not that class identity was greater than ethnic groups. Just the things the emperor did in Japan, any word written by historians was a traitor.

Li Ya really could imagine the tragic fate of the Japanese slaves and the Japanese girl even if she had not witnessed it with her own eyes.

Therefore, the emperor kept the King of Japan's life not because His Majesty was good, but to cut off all the possibility of Japan's self-healing.

Leather continued: "When those who commit evil will not be punished, people are unwilling to give up part of their power in exchange for order, because people generally no longer trust rules to protect themselves, and the basis of cooperation and mutual trust has been broken down."

"Individuals or some small groups will rely on violence, fraud, and power to protect their interests and security. At this time, lynching will begin to flood like a flood, and all necessities required for life must be fought for by violence."

"When evil is not costly, the boundary between good and evil will become blurred. People can rationalize all evil through various sophistry to adapt to the cruel living environment. Morality will collapse and gradually become a tool rather than a social norm."

"Differences will become increasingly larger as all this becomes serious, and people will naturally evolve into two extremes. Some people completely give up moral constraints; some people completely avoid communication with others and maintain the morality of small collectives; these two types of people will affect one thing, the exchange of goods."

"People without morality will rob them unscrupulously; hermits who completely avoid the world will refuse to communicate and exchange with the outside world, and the exchange of goods will be blocked, which will undoubtedly push up the cost of everything, and ultimately lead to extremely expensive prices."

"When Wan Zongbo was still alive, he once called this phenomenon: civilization degradation."

Pedro thought seriously about what Leyashi said, and he frowned and said, "Isn't this the dark age in the past? But how did all this cause the Ming Dynasty? It is clearly that Japan itself is not doing well, and they should reflect on their own problems."

Thailand is conducting big trips and big study tours, and the anti-Catholic wave in Thailand is rising and falling. England had already demolished all Catholic paradises in England seventy years ago, and Protestantism is very popular in England, France, the Lufthansa League and other places.

Before the Renaissance, this was the dark age of the Middle Ages, and Pedro empathized with it and understood this horror thoroughly.

But Pedro did not agree with what Leyashi said. These sufferings were not brought by the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese should reflect on themselves and how they have come to this point.

"You are right. If you stay in the Ming Dynasty, you will be a good official of the Ministry of Rites!" Li Yashi smiled and shook his head and said, "Water is only one step away from completing the construction of the dynasty. In fact, he has a very strong ability to heal. Wan Zongbo said this is Nirvana, which is explained as a long-term chaos that may give birth to a new rule system."

"And the Japanese showed this ability to heal themselves. The Ichikki, the Ichikki, the Ichikki, the Ichikki, and the Ichikki were like the waves on the sea, continuous."

"But, the king of the Japanese is alive, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the Oda City family is alive. Japan has no chance of self-healing. The shogun can suppress the rebellion without any scruples. He really committed an unforgivable sin, and he can leave, allowing the Japanese to struggle hard in purgatory."

Pedro thought carefully before he understood what Le Yashi was saying.

The suffering of Japan was indeed caused by the Japanese themselves. We really need to reflect on our own problems, but what the Ming Dynasty took away was the ability of Japan to heal and correct itself. This is the most terrifying thing, and it is also the cruelty that Leyashi said.

Pedro asked curiously: "As you say that, is Your Majesty a scholar?"

Li Yashi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Pedro angrily, wanting to speak but stopping. After careful consideration, he said, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense."

Of course, we can't say nonsense. This is a crime of accusing the throne and slandering the saint, and a serious crime of hanging!

Nonsense, Tiqi really knows how to catch people!

Your Majesty allows you to speak, but not to be nonsense. You must be realistic. As long as you say it is right, you will say whatever you want. If you say it is right, your Majesty will die. As long as you say it is right, your Majesty will also send you a report. But if you say it is nonsense, you must eat Your Majesty's T-word and kill it back, physically.

Whether Your Majesty is a scholar or not depends mainly on the context, is a complimentary or a derogatory term.

"I know, in your heart, I am a traitor to Spain. I would rather live in the Ming Dynasty than return to Spain to serve Your Highness. In your heart, what I say is based on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, because my descendants and I will live in the Ming Dynasty." Li Yashi said before watching the Japanese king's family leave the Siyi Pavilion. Pedro said, "This is what you said, not what I think."

Le Yashi pulled out a stack of 100-month treasure money from his sleeve and handed it to Pedro and said, "I admit that the irreversible localization of immigration that Da Zongbo mentioned happened to me. Yes, I am now becoming more and more like a Ming person, speaking based on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but I still have to say, don't use silver to threaten the Ming Dynasty easily."

"Because this threat is useless, the best way to deal with the Ming Dynasty is always to put him in the quagmire of internal problems. More applause and more flowers, let the Ming Dynasty be immersed from top to bottom and immersed in the arrogance of the upper country of the Celestial Kingdom. This is the only way to defeat the Ming Dynasty, there is no way."

After Liya was in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, it was easy to have a thought that the world was invincible. This thought was not false, but the consensus of many Ming people. This is a kind of arrogance. If the Romans could make Rome come back with lightning, this arrogance would also occur to the Romans.

Let the Ming Dynasty be immersed in the dream of the superior country forever, not be enterprising, and use the most respectful attitude and say the most complimentary words. In actual trade, let the Ming Dynasty occupy complete dominance and let the Ming Dynasty always be arrogant, and then the Ming Dynasty can be eliminated.

Le Yashi looked at Pedro with a bright look and said, "Let the Ming Dynasty feel that the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it can withstand some subtle flaws and mistakes."

"Everyone in the empire thinks that they can oppress others through various ways. When they are happy, they can give them some gifts. When they are unhappy, they can also send a fleet to eliminate and threaten them. All problems can be handled and solved at will only rely on their own wishes."

"But the number of problems will continue to increase with arrogance and neglect. One day, we will not be able to cope with so many problems. As long as the Ming Dynasty is immersed in the story of this heavenly kingdom and cannot extricate itself, we will step into the abyss with extremely confident and firm steps!"

"The Ming Dynasty is like a spring. The more you suppress it, the stronger its rebound will be. The more you make it expand itself, and it will eventually lose all its elasticity."

Pedro held the stack of treasure money and admitted that silver could not threaten the Ming Dynasty, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "Can the Ming Dynasty not be crushed?!"

"Of course, it's okay to have enough strength, but Spain does not have the strength to kill the Ming Dynasty at once, so do the opposite." Li Yashi said very clearly.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

This is a fact. As the Empire of Sun Never Setting, Spain does not have enough ability to deploy oceans and cross oceans to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

"I can't accept your path, and your Highness can't accept it either." Pedro knew that Leyashi was right, but he could not convince himself or Felipe.

Li Yashi said helplessly: "Confrontation will only arouse the fighting spirit of the Ming Dynasty. That's all I said, the Tiqi has arrived."

When Li Ya really didn't see a foreign envoy, he would not be monitored, but when he saw a foreign envoy, especially a Spanish envoy, the Tiqi would closely monitor his every move. Obviously, Li Ya Shi made inappropriate remarks, and the quick-reacting Tiqi planned to arrest him.

"Two Tiqi, if I fall into the river and scold Chengyu, will you save me?" Li Yashi asked in a very stable mood.

Tiqi said sternly: "You can try to say that you have evaded taxes. The tax audited Tiqi may save you. We won't, but you have to pay the meal fee!"

"Okay." Le Yashi was sent to jail again.

Zhu Yijun received the news from Tiqi. After reading the case file, he said with a smile: "Li Tongshi is very good. I think it is absolutely fine. This is indeed a method and it is very effective."

"The Thai envoy said that the Ming Dynasty was a country above the Celestial Empire, and at most it was a compliment to satisfy the self-esteem of the Ming people. As a result, the Ming Dynasty itself was complacent. If it felt that this was a compliment and fell into this trap, everyone wanted to hear the compliment."

"He said this very right. This is the only way to destroy the Ming Dynasty."

If you are addicted to the Ming Dynasty, you will have everything and everything, and you will have a great land and vast culture. If you lose yourself in the heavenly kingdom, you will miss opportunities again and again in your arrogance, and these small mistakes will accumulate enough and will perish without correction.

Promoting and killing is also a strategy.

"Seeing what he said makes sense, you don't have to pay the meal fee." Zhu Yijun generously waived Li Yashi's money for money and allowed him to stay in prison for ten days for free.

"I obey the order." Zhao Mengyou bowed his command and left. His Majesty was already very kind.

It’s not that he is Kuanren, but that he is in the Fushishi Liguan for ten days in Beizhen, which is his lenient attitude towards Li Yashi himself. Li Yashi doesn’t have to see Pedro again.

Pedro has made many excessive demands in the past few days. Le Yashi could not meet the situation even if he tried his best, because he would violate the Ming Dynasty's laws, such as inquiring about some confidential information.

This made Li Ya really embarrassed and was locked up, so he didn't have these concerns.

Leyashi had already told Pedro about the way to defeat the Ming Dynasty and Spain. As for whether they did it or not, it had nothing to do with Leyashi, and he had done everything he could.

"Actually, our Li Tongshi is not optimistic about Felipe II and his Spain. Li Yashi thinks that the Ming Dynasty can win and eventually win the hegemony of the ocean." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao: "Because he thinks that the Spanish are not as shameless as the English."

"League firmly believes that the shamelessness and low morality of the English will make them the ultimate winners of the great voyage."

Leya is not optimistic about Felipe's victory, nor is he optimistic about the Ming Dynasty's victory. Instead, he feels that the English will win in the end, because they are shameless enough. As long as they are shameless enough, they can break free from the shackles of morality and gain more wealth faster and more effectively from overseas colonies.

Maybe Leya is right, but Ming Dynasty will win in its own way.

Marion sent his special envoy to the Ming Dynasty, an archbishop of the Great Light Cult. This time he came to the Ming Dynasty, he was to deliver ten five-mast crossing foreign ships, and these ships would be moored in the Great Light City.

This was an order for the entire country of France, but it was occupied by Marion. Her father used some means to make the ownership of these ships belong to France, but to be used by Marion's Free Knights.

The atmosphere between Spain and the Netherlands became increasingly tense. Felipe II's navy defeated the overseas colonies of the Netherlands. The Netherlands who had lost their salt could only surrender, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave the opportunity to fly the flag again and allowed the Netherlands to buy salt from the Ming Dynasty.

Felipe II, whose plan was destroyed, could not stop the Ming Dynasty's goods from reaching Tessi. He had assembled an invincible fleet and prepared to recapture the Netherlands, and the target he was trying to attack was England that was provoked behind his back. In Felipe's view, as long as he defeated England, the Netherlands would return to Spain's arms, it would be natural.

The Queen of England executed the Queen of Scotland, and Felipe wanted to launch an expedition to England in the name of revenge of the Queen of Scotland.

King Antonio of Portugal gave up his past grudges and allowed the Legion of Apologies to join Felipe's expedition plan, and opened all ports along the way, allowing Spanish fleets to supply navigation.

Zhu Yijun picked up another memorial from Portugal's special envoy Paulino Franco. This time, the sword saint Marcus still did not come. The older sword saint could not bear the bumps of ocean sailing. It would be difficult for him to make a pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The Portuguese envoy expressed Portugal's attitude. The reason why he gave up his past grudges was mainly to make money. Spain's huge navy mobilized and Portugal provided supplies, which could make a lot of money, bring countless orders to the workshop and provide many jobs.

The longer the expedition plan of Felipe II is implemented, the more it will make in Portugal.

"It seems that our king Felipe can't bear it anymore and cannot listen to any advice. If there is no accident, Felipe's fleet has set off and headed towards England." After reading the letter from Thailand, Zhu Yijun learned that this expedition was imperative based on the news brought back by Liu Ji's global voyage.

Zhu Yijun wrote many letters of the country to persuade Felipe to act carefully. This might have failed because of not understanding hydrological geography, betting on national destiny is really too risky, and the battle to destroy the country across the sea will drag down Spain. These reasons ultimately failed to convince Felipe.

It would be a protracted war that would last for a full eighty years, and eventually Spain won the war and lost the ocean.

"It's really surprising that the French people stood with the English." Feng Bao was a little surprised. The grudges and hatred between the French and the English were really a long story for three years old, and the right and wrong were difficult to describe.

Zhu Yijun approved the memorial on the table and shook his head and said, "Because the Queen of England bribed France's king Henry III and obtained the promise of Henry III, France will at least remain neutral in this war."

The positions of Portugal and France have proved one thing: interests come first between countries.

The Great Light Cult received the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming ships would go to the Great Light City to collect cargo; Portugal returned a batch of war loans, sent seven Portuguese students, and the fleet obtained a large amount of Ming cargo; the envoys of the Ross Kingdom did not come this year, and the Cossacks' journey east of the Ural Mountains was very unsuccessful, and the tribes on the Xianbei Plain received some weapons support.

The Spanish envoy was still communicating with the officials of the Honglu Temple. Pedro hoped that the Ming Dynasty would stop funding the Netherlands. The Ming Dynasty officials were very dissatisfied with this request. It was not the turn of the barbarians to speak out if the Ming Dynasty did business with!

"Good news, the first batch of iron materials from Datioling, Juezhou have been transported back to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yijun opened a memorial.

This memorial was written by Chen Dazhuang. He bought thousands of slaves, built a road, and mined the open-pit iron ore. The first batch of iron materials arrived in the port were only 120,000 kilograms.

120,000 jin is not a big deal, mainly to prove that Chen Dazhuang was not fooling His Majesty, and there is really an iron ore in Datioling.

The three earth masters of the stargazing ship watched Datioling for several months. After estimating, they gave eight words of evaluation, which was inexhaustible.

There are endless picks, there are no ends!

There are so many high-quality iron ore.

Chen Dazhuang's stargazing ship also brought good news. The northwest corner of Juezhou is suitable for cultivation. The food and clothing of Datieling can be produced in the oasis in the northwest corner and supplied to Tieling through sea transportation.
