Chapter 608: Take the path that the lowly Confucians want to take, leaving the lowly Confucians with no way to go


Chapter 608: Take the path that the humble Confucians want to take, leaving the humble Confucians with no way to go

Zhang Juzheng is a Legalist at heart. He probably reads "Han Feizi" and "Shang Jun Shu" on weekdays. It is similar to the masterpiece of the Legalists, and he reminded Your Majesty that some people are waiting for the emperor to brag too hastily, and are waiting for the emperor to amplify things under emotions such as anger, anxiety, panic, etc.

Once the opening for expansion is opened, no manpower can stop it. Not Zhang Juzheng, not Wang Chonggu, and not His Majesty the Emperor. As Emperor Yuanfu, Zhang Juzheng knows very well that the emperor is a human being, not an omniscient and omnipotent person. immortal.

What consequences will it bring if it expands?

The shame of Jingkang.

Zhang Juzheng believes that the disgrace of Jingkang will occur mainly due to the incompetence of the ruling class. The ancestral law that values ​​civility over military affairs has led to weak military force, lack of armaments, strategic mistakes in allying Jin to destroy Liao, financial shortages, etc. All the reasons combined are less than the incompetence of the ruling class.

The struggle between reforming the old and reforming the old and enacting the ancestral law lasted for three hundred years in the Song Dynasty. As the emperor and the final decision-maker, he did not try to curb the intensifying party strife. Instead, he deliberately instigated and intensified the party strife. In the middle Picking out people and pouting, for fear that the courtiers will not fight fiercely, was summed up by Sima Guang in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" as the emperor's technique.

It’s okay not to learn the imperial art of sending people to the enemy camp to lead sheep.

The party dispute between North Korea and China was so serious that King Qin and his army were disbanded in the quarrel. Taiyuan was lost in the quarrel over whether to support Taiyuan or not. The main war faction and the main war faction were fighting each other to shirk their responsibilities. Song Huizong, the Supreme Emperor, and Song Qinzong Zhao Huan fought fiercely for the throne. When Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang led the Jin soldiers to break the siege of Kaifeng Mansion in Taiyuan, the party in the DPRK was still fighting.

Zhang Juzheng reminded His Majesty that some people are waiting for His Majesty to expand. After the expansion, people who have a retreat will take risks, people who originally supported the New Deal will also have doubts, and people who have no retreat will They will become the staunchest diehards and eventually lead to catastrophe. At the least, they violate the New Deal and fail, and at worst, the party controls the government and fights for the sake of fighting.

"On the day when the party is in great power, it can be declared that the New Deal has failed." Zhang Juzheng ended today's admonishment.

"Sir, you are a great talent. I would like to be taught by you." Zhu Yijun also stood up and returned the greeting. This was also a feast.

"Sir, I have a miscellaneous newspaper here, which is quite interesting." Zhu Yijun picked up a miscellaneous newspaper, handed it to Zhang Juzheng, and said with a smile: "Sir, take a look."

Zhang Juzheng opened the newspaper, frowning at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

This newspaper is called "Xiao Lin Ji", which is dedicated to telling jokes.

Joke collections have a long history in the Central Plains and have become a very common literary style since the Three Kingdoms period, such as "Laughing Forest" written by Handan Chun in the Three Kingdoms, "Qi Yan Lu" written in the Sui Dynasty, and "Tiao Shao Bian" written in the Song Dynasty ", "History of Lin Guang" and "Lu of Zhangzhang".

The Ming Dynasty also has a lot of joke collections, such as "Ya Shao", "Laughter Praise", "Laughter Mansion", "Guangxiao Mansion", "Ancient and Modern Laughter" and so on.

The newspaper in Zhang Juzheng’s hands tells jokes in a question-and-answer style common in the Ming Dynasty, similar to the questions and answers in The Analects and Yangming’s Xinxue. Li Zhi also likes to use this kind of style.

“This book is still worth reading.” After reading it, Zhang Juzheng thought it was very valuable and it was a type of historical prophecy.

For example, this issue is "On Why Sima and Jin Dynasties Respected Zhuge Kongming".

The respect for Zhuge Liang started from the sworn enemy Jin Dynasty, and it was extremely powerful.

Zhuge Liang beat Sima Yi, the ancestor of the Sima family, to the point of wearing women's clothes. After Sima Yi completed Laoji Fufeng, he still respected Zhuge Liang very much. The generation of Sima Zhao and Sima Yan even praised Zhuge Liang. After reaching the altar, the Sima family has been infinitely elevating Zhuge Liang.

A question: Why did the huge Jin Dynasty respect the prime minister of the enemy country so much? Could it be that it had received 500,000 Shu brocade from Shu?

B answer: No, no, the great ancestor Sima Yi formed an alliance with Luoshui, and three thousand dead soldiers Gao Pingling seized power; the great ancestor Sima Zhao immediately stepped forward to assassinate the emperor, with the blade coming out of his back; what should you do as the emperor?

Everyone with cerebral palsy knows how to choose.

As the emperor, Sima Yan could not choose Sima Yi or Sima Zhao instead of Zhuge Liang, who dedicated himself to death. Doesn't that encourage ministers to usurp the throne? If you put Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, and Zhuge Liang together, even Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhong, who doesn't eat minced meat, can't make a wrong choice.

Sima Zhong is a born fool.

A asked again: The Jin Kingdom is so big that you can’t choose one?

Yi answers again: Anyone who relies on his confidants is a traitor. For example, Liu Fang, a confidant of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, secretly colluded with Sima Yi. If Sima Yi succeeds, he will follow the minister of Long.

The ministers from Conglong are all traitors, which is the top problem for the Sima family in founding the country.

In this issue of Xiaolin Ji, there are 87 ministers from the early Western Jin Dynasty. These 87 ministers were carefully selected. Each of them has a joke. Looking at it, you can't see it at all. They are either traitors, in-laws, or other people. Corrupt officials.

This minister in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, let alone Zhuge Liang, did not even have an anthropomorphic creature. He was simply a moral desert.

Zhu Yijun looked at the long list, and then looked at their deeds. Let alone court discussions, this was completely a brave journey into the Valley of the Wicked!

This is both a joke and a story about history. Using copper as a mirror can help you dress up; using history as a mirror can help you know the ups and downs.

"This is a miscellaneous newspaper sponsored by Mr. Wange." Zhu Yijun did not hide it, and directly told Zhang Juzheng that it was produced by the Ministry of Rites, and it was considered a semi-official newspaper.

"In order to compile the "Compilation of Zhuzi"?" Zhang Juzheng immediately understood Wan Shihe's intention.

Since the rise of Neo-Confucianism by Zhu Cheng, it has become extremely common not to read history. After all, Zhu Sheng said that after the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no great cause, but only remembering things. The trend of not reading history has become very popular, and Wan Shihe created this collection of jokes , just to break the undefeated golden body of Confucianism.

Using morality to restrain meat eaters has never been successful since ancient times. This is direct evidence that Confucianism is a scam.

"Lao Wange really lived up to his reputation as the leader of the imperial party." Zhang Juzheng praised Wan Shihe, saying that Wan Shihe was invincible on the battlefield of etiquette.

Wan Shihe was recommended by Zhang Juzheng to compile the "Compilation of Zhuzi". Now it seems that this important personnel appointment is quite reliable and correct.

The Ming court has now put down its condescending attitude. This method, which is close to the "demon book", has been repeatedly used by the Ming court to control public opinion. The road to be taken leaves the humble Confucians with nowhere to go.

Zhang Juzheng completed his advice. One hundred and forty officials from the Qu family, the Qu family's account book, and Nanya were all the criminals in the Songjiang Shipyard arson and Qu's bribery case. Zhu Yijun specially issued an order , explained the situation to the yamen at all levels, and then encouraged the other officials in Nanya to handle matters carefully and not to panic.

The head was beheaded and the rest were exiled to the border areas, mainly to Java.

Zhu Yijun is an emperor. He is in Beiya. He has no idea of ​​the impact he will have after issuing the imperial edict that there is no need to panic. The most intuitive impact is on the two governors Li Le and Shen Shixing. Immediately became the majority in Nanya, and the decrees such as clearing the father-in-law, census of Dingkou, abolition of lowly slave registration, and one whip law were further implemented.

Nothing will be punished twice. His Majesty's credibility has been widely recognized. Since he has issued an edict to comfort him, it means that as long as he does not commit the crime again, he will not relive the old scores.

Do you really want to wait until the heavenly soldiers move south? His Majesty the Emperor is not denying him a way to survive!

The vast sea, the tax worth 60%, and the Lord of Development are the replacement conditions given by His Majesty. This condition has never changed and has always been there. The Qu family even under the leadership of Mr. Qu Xia, has completed the transformation and even become a representative figure of transformation. If he did not set the fire and insisted on killing the heavenly being Shen Shixing, how could he end up like this?

Zhu Yijun received a message that Qu Hexing, an old man in his seventies, committed suicide in prison, giving himself the last dignity.

When no one noticed, Yao Guangqi quietly completed the integration of Shanghai counties and counties, and then used his background to quickly promote the implementation of the Iron Horse Factory, from factory construction to incoming materials industry chain , to production equipment boring machines, hydraulic parts and other machinery, and most importantly, skilled craftsmen.

On the pretext of supporting the Songjiang Iron Horse Factory, Wang Chonggu dispatched 170 skilled craftsmen, including two master craftsmen, and more than 70 people from the General Office and the acting agents arrived in Shanghai County. Speeding up the establishment of the iron horse factory, it is no longer a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones, but a stride forward under the leadership of skilled craftsmen.

This is the benefit of Tianshangren. Yan Shixuan, who is also a member of the Jin Party, has some relationship with Wang Jiaping, but Wang Jiaping and Wang Chonggu are not dealing with him. How much time would it cost Yan Shixuan just to invite these people?

On the third day of April, at the New Port Pier of Songjiang Prefecture, a total of 120 ships were leaving the port under the tug of barges. The sea survey had been completed. Five-masted ocean ships, more than eighty three-masted plywood ships, and some hitchhiking two-masted ships were loaded with goods and headed to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace to exchange the goods for silver.

There are 1,500 elite navy soldiers on board the Yuryu, a five-masted ocean crossing ship. They will go to Osaka Bay, the headquarters of Nagasaki Gyoto Division, to take up their duties. The garrison rotation is for three years.

Half of the three thousand personnel of the Nagasaki Xingdu Division are from the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, and the other half are from the Songjiang Town Navy. What is more interesting is that Ling Yunyi was sent to Nagasaki from Shandong. Of the 1,500 guest soldiers, 800 were selected by the vanguard to garrison Senhe Station at Osaka Bay.

The factory guard of the Ming Dynasty in Japan - the special search department of the Kyoto Prefectural Procuratorate in Japan was officially established!

The fleet set sail in early April. Under the trade wind, it could reach the Nagasaki Governor's Palace directly without passing through Ryukyu. Then the return air ship arrived at Ryukyu and sent Ryukyu specialties back to the Ming Dynasty. Some ships would go south. He went to Davao City in Mindanao, Luzon, and sold castrated Japanese slaves to farmers in the Father Islands, and then returned with rich plantation products.

"The second boss, the eldest boss is dying. Come back with me." Sun Hongming, the old housekeeper of the Sun family in Songjiang, said to Sun Keyi anxiously.

It has been almost nine years since Sun Keyi came to Japan, and he has not been back in these years. Now Sun Kehong is seriously ill and will soon die. I hope Sun Keyi can go back to see him one last time.

"Are there any more tricks?" Sun Keyi said helplessly: "These are all excuses for different tricks. Let me go back. I won't go back. The nephews are very good. They Just inherit the family business, I prefer Yuanxu Islands.”

Sun Keyi made it very clear when he left that everything in the house belongs to his eldest brother, and everything developed outside belongs to him, Sun Keyi. They had already separated the family. Well, what will happen if he goes back now? Are you competing with your eldest brother for family property and making His Majesty laugh?

The Sun family in Songjiang was as rich as any other country. They were really rich. Sun Keyi abandoned these properties and had a bigger plan. What he wanted was to open up the Lord.

If they can get a pioneering marquis, their family can completely transcend the powerful right-wing class and break through to the hereditary official class. Even if this hereditary official is an overseas lord, he does not enjoy any extrajudicial status in the hinterland. Governing power. What does it matter if he is not the Lord of the Heartland? As long as there is enough time, the Yuanxu Islands will gradually become the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. No one stipulates that the heartland of the Ming Dynasty cannot be expanded. It will not take many years to reach the Yuanxu Islands from Luzon.

"It's true this time, the big boss may really be in trouble." Sun Hongming even wiped a few tears from his eyes.

The more he wiped his tears, the more Sun Keyi didn’t believe it. The head of the Sun family was his eldest brother Sun Kehong, and Sun Hongming was his direct descendant. If it weren’t for Xu Jie breaking Sun Kehong’s leg, Sun Keyi wouldn’t be able to act on his behalf. The head of the family has left Songjiang Mansion for more than eight years now. Sun Hongming's children and grandchildren can only be the eldest brother's people.

No one inside or outside the Songjiang Sun family wanted his more rebellious second boss to go back.

The more you cry, the more fake you become. When the larger the family is, the more profit is greater than family affection. It is obvious that Sun Hongming wiped these tears because Sun Kehong gave the order to die.

"Old man, I have a letter from the medical officer next to my eldest brother. He is in good health! Can you give me a better reason for lying to me!" Sun Keyi presented the evidence. There was no serious illness at all, it was Sun. Katsuhiro is paranoid.

Sun Kehong stubbornly believed that after his leg was broken, the Sun family would have been doomed long ago if Sun Keyi had not stepped in to take charge of the overall situation, so he wanted to leave all the family property to Sun Keyi, so he kept letting Sun Keyi go back.

"Then we can only force the invitation." Sun Hongming stopped pretending, and several servants immediately surrounded him.

"Back off! Everyone back off!" Sun Keyi held a blunderbuss in his hand, with more than a dozen tooth soldiers behind him. He said with a smile: "Old man, this is the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, and it is my territory! You are the one A dragon has crossed the sea, and you still want to kidnap me back?"

"I am the imperial official! You want to kidnap the imperial official, but I will kill him. It's my fault that you are making trouble in front of His Majesty!"

After Sun Hongming sat down, Sun Keyi put away his gun and said, "Old man, it's not that I don't want to go back, it's that I can't go back! , the Sun family must be divided. If the Songjiang Sun family does not divide the family, then it will have to be dismembered by your majesty. It is a luxurious family with wealth that rivals the country. Coupled with overseas lords, everyone inside and outside the court cannot help but ask, what about our Sun family? What do you want to do?”

“Your Majesty is tolerant, but we, the Sun family, need to be more considerate. If I really go back to Songjiang Mansion to inherit the family business, in a few years, our Sun family will have to learn from it. Qu family, it is good for everyone to separate the family. My eldest brother is a bit naive in this matter. Please let everyone in my family persuade me."

"The Qu family has opened 20,000 hectares of land in Yuanxun Islands. If it falls, even if it can’t be swallowed up, it can still eat more than ten thousand hectares.”

Sun Keyi made it very clear. Only by dividing the family can the court not be afraid. The family is the next Qu family. If they get fat, they will be killed. Isn't that a matter of course? Only by crossing this class and achieving a class jump can we have some guarantees.

"Alas, I have said everything that can be said but cannot be said. The big boss still wants the second boss to go back." Sun Hongming looked at the gun and sighed. He had tried to persuade Sun Kehong countless times. After his leg was broken, he became extremely paranoid and refused to listen to anyone. Only Sun Keyi could listen to what he said.

"Uncle is walking around Nagasaki, I still have something to do." Sun Keyi really had something to do, and Governor Xu Wei asked him to come over to discuss the matter.

Commander Li Chengli, Shibosi Tiju Eunuch Wang Dynasty, patrol censor Luo Yinghe and others have already arrived. Sun Keyi is the last one to arrive. He must have seen anyone coming from the family.

Xu Wei took a Tongbao and said: "There is a strong figure among the officials in Kyoto of Japan. His name is Kanda Shinichi. He is the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He advocated in the Japanese court to print money by himself, which was to use private coins. The money coming to fight against the Ming Dynasty's overseas currency made a lot of noise, and even Oda Nobunaga attended his meeting. "

"Kanda Shinichi said that as long as he is still alive, he will not allow the Ming Dynasty treasure money to be circulated in Japan."

"My opinion is to let him leave office, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs can change the minister. In this way, everyone will not break their promise when he is gone."

After Xu Wei finished speaking, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, with different expressions.

Luo Yinghe, the imperial censor, said in a low voice: "Is Oda Nobunaga willing? This Kanda Shinichi is the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who Oda Nobunaga finally found. He is quite talented and is a planner. At that time, he had presided over the printing and minting of money for more than ten years, and Oda Nobunaga probably would not have agreed so smoothly."

Xu Weiman said nonchalantly: "He'd better agree. It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree. , If you don't agree, give Mouri Terumoto the news and ask him to kill Kanda Shinichi, just like he assassinated Oda Nobunaga. It's not our Ming Dynasty who killed people."

"We Nagasaki. The Governor's Office is innocent and expresses condolences for the death of Kanda Shinichi."

"Oda Nobunaga will figure it out."

Xu Wei believes that Oda Nobunaga will make it clear. The choice of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is one of the important ropes for the Ming Dynasty to control the Japanese country. There is no room for error. This Kanda Shinichi may be a hero to the Japanese, but he hinders the circulation of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes in the Japanese country. This must be Resign.

When Oda Nobunaga used various methods, and even sent his sister, Oda City, known as the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period, to the Ming Dynasty, he got a chance to survive. Since the Ming Dynasty gave After the seventeen conditions were met, the existence of Oda Nobunaga, the Azuchi shogunate, had nothing to do with the Japanese people.

The existence of Oda Nobunaga's Azuchi Shogunate does not require the approval of the Japanese people. It only needs the approval of the Ming Dynasty to ensure its existence. At this time, Oda Nobunaga can only make some decisions that go against the interests of the Japanese country. .

Being someone else's dog means you can't help yourself.

Being the dog of the Ming Dynasty is not like this. North Korea has been the dog of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. The Ming Dynasty did not interfere in any affairs of North Korea. Only during the Jingtai period, Hu Xi, the Minister of Rites, once asked North Korea to strictly implement the " According to the Kneeling Ceremony in the "Notes on the Rituals of the Domain", the Ming Dynasty must kneel down to accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty. This is the Ming Dynasty's only requirement for North Korea.

For the king of Joseon, as long as he is willing to kowtow, he can be exchanged for tribute trade several times a year, and the status of Lee's Joseon will be as solid as a rock. This is a very cost-effective deal.

But when it was Japan's turn to be a dog, things changed. Daming's hands almost wanted to reach out to every corner, and even intervened in the appointment and dismissal of ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The Ming Dynasty had just emerged from the plight of the Japanese invaders in the southeast, and Xu Wei was a party involved in the Japanese invasion. If you talk to him about forgiveness, you will only get an eighteen-pound cannon stuffed into your mouth.

“Oda Nobunaga, as a regent and the Taizheng Minister of Kanbai, wrote a letter saying that the policy of one public and two citizens should be implemented throughout the territory of Japan, and the complicated tax items of various regions should be abolished and replaced by a unified one. Public and private." Xu Wei talked about the second thing, the tax reform of Japan.

Oda Nobunaga was now awarded the position of Regent Guanbai by the Emperor of Japan. From the honor of a Taizheng minister, he became the substantial Azuchi shogunate. He now has administrative power and began to carry out the overall tax system of Japan. Reformed, this is a conspiracy. Once this decree is known to everyone, those who do not implement this decree will lose the support of the people.

Hashiba (Toyotomi) Hideyoshi, the old fox Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Mori Terumoto who have been defeated in many battles are actually not considered macho men born from heaven.

A strong man descended from the sky is usually used to describe a powerful leader who appears when a country is in trouble. He is able to turn the tide and lead the country out of crisis and toward revival. This type of people has another common characteristic. , the end is miserable.

There is no doubt that Oda Nobunaga is a fierce man descended from heaven in the Japanese country, and he is lucky for the Japanese people. At least Oda Nobunaga is still pursuing some fairness and justice, and brings the civilians of the Japanese country out of the hell of war.

"Coordinated with the One Public and Two Citizens is the Sword Hunting Order, which collects civilian weapons and puts them under arms supervision, implements the separation of farmers and soldiers, allows samurai to live in the city, and allows civilians to farm in the countryside. This is what Oda Nobunaga has always maintained that the predicament of Japan was caused by the fierce fighting of samurai. When samurai gathered in the city, the disputes would naturally end. "Xu Wei talked about the important supporting policy of Japan's tax reform, the Toshou Order.

After the separation of peasants and soldiers is achieved, the major names will no longer be able to mobilize huge forces. Every battle will cause extreme damage to production. After the separation of peasants and soldiers, conflicts and struggles will change from collective war. Instead of fighting among rulers, the daimyo could no longer coerce the largest number of peasants to participate in the war. In this way, the scale would be much smaller, and basic production could be guaranteed.

“It can be seen that Oda Nobunaga really wanted to end the war in Japan. Even though he could not become a man of the world due to the strong interference of the Ming Dynasty and settled for the next best thing and became the shogun, he still wanted to To end this chaotic world, everyone in Japan can breathe a sigh of relief." Sun Keyi said sincerely: "He is really a perseverant guy."

If we go by Hongyi's standards, Oda Nobunaga is here. Faced with threats of life and death, after his son died in an assassination, he still insisted on his own ideas. This is Yi. And his ideas include not only the officials of the imperial court and the famous names of the country, but also the suffering civilians. This is Yi. Hong, with a heart full of people from all over the world.

Oda Nobunaga can be called a gentleman.

"We should support his proposition." Xu Wei looked at everyone and said: "Whether it is one public, two citizens, or the Sword Hunting Order, it will be widely opposed, and the war will further escalate, and our long-term With the hands of the Qi Governor's Mansion, we can go deeper."

"The Japanese country has nine million people. It depends on the Ming army to kill them. All the swords are cut and curled, and they can't kill them all, but it doesn't matter. , it would be much faster if they killed them themselves."

"Ah, there are only about eight million now."

The exciting prosperity of the Japanese country is behind the rapid loss of population. The contradiction between the large number of people and the small area has been alleviated. As long as the killing continues, the Japanese National Congress will look more prosperous. Once the Nagasaki Governor's Office, which controls the issuance of treasure banknotes, relaxes the restrictions on the treasure banknotes, the Japanese National Congress will be in a state of decline. What kind of hell?

Xu Wei has a very clear plan to destroy the Japanese. He is a supporter of the extreme idea of ​​​​exterminating the Japanese. Only the dead Japanese pirates can make people feel at ease. If the Japanese are half dead, they must be dealt with severely.

Everyone in the discussion now is the same lunatic. Among the people sitting here and the tooth soldiers operating in the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, whose family doesn't have a blood feud?

"We support his proposition, but we only provide all support except help." Sun Keyi once again elaborated on his point of view. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are determined not to fight for the Japanese. His Majesty once made it clear that who If the Ming Dynasty fights for the Japanese, they will be the sinners of history.

“This year’s trade fair is about to start again. It is still the same as before. No treasure banknotes are accepted, only cash. Especially the merchants who are optimistic about our Ming Dynasty, I want to tell them that only treasure banknotes are accepted in Japan. It is common in the Japanese country, but there is no possibility of fulfilling it in the Ming Dynasty." Xu Wei rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little helpless.

Countless orders and five orders were made, but they still could not stop the Ming Dynasty merchants’ enthusiasm for the currency notes that were circulated in Japan. This was caused by the money shortage in the Ming Dynasty. These treasure notes were actually recognized by people in the Ming Dynasty, which made Nagasaki The Governor's Mansion was quite helpless and strictly prohibited it, but some treasure notes would still return to the Ming Dynasty.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty will not cash the treasure banknotes in Japan, but the daimyo of Japan control the silver mountain. They recognize the treasure banknotes in Japan. As long as these treasure banknotes are brought to the territory of these daimyo, they can be cashed. So in essence, the treasure banknotes in Japan can be regarded as a type of banknotes that can be redeemed. Gradually, some people will naturally hold them.

"The Bureau of War has promised to have a production capacity of five million silver coins by the end of this year, and more than 6.5 million silver coins by the end of next year. Will this alleviate the money shortage?" Luo Yinghe asked with a frown.

"No, Ming Dynasty is now trapped in the dilemma that the more silver coins there are, the less money there is." Xu Wei leaned back on the chair and spread his hands, expressing his helplessness about this problem. The more silver coins there are, the less money there is. The less, this absurd conclusion is still exerting force and getting more and more intense.

The more silver coins there are, the more active the economy is. The more active the economy is, the more silver coins are needed. Compared with the total economic volume, the relative quantity and proportion of silver coins are smaller and cannot supply market demand.
