Chapter 667 Monument of Strange Stories from the World
Zhu Yiliu’s multi-pointing method is really useful. Coupled with Tiqi’s excellent investigation, the largest conspiracy in the Ming Dynasty to collude with Japanese pirates and plot to enrich the Ming Dynasty was finally solved. The truth comes out.
Water fertilizer was invented by Wei Youshan, an craftsman from Xishan Coal Bureau. He accidentally discovered that when water purifies coal smoke, it can make water plants flourish. Then based on the observed phenomenon, he gradually used coal gangue to make it and improved the technology. As for the principle, it is not complicated, but its production process has been continuously improved, and the output has been greatly improved.
The water and fertilizer production process and the Ming Dynasty steam engine are both the biggest secrets of the Ming Dynasty, a higher secret than how many bowls of rice the emperor eats.
It was such a case that Zhu Yili solved.
The leader, whose name is Chen Sheng, courtesy name Botai, is from southern Fujian. He failed to study, abandoned Confucianism and became a businessman. He has been active in the Ship Division of Yuegang City since he opened the sea in the second year of Longqing. He is not a fugitive. After Longqing opened the sea, the Ming Dynasty still prohibited ships from going to the Japanese country, but once the ship went to sea, it could no longer control where it went.
From the third year of Wanli, Chen Sheng came into contact with Maori Huiyuan, a great name of the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom. As an important figure in the Japanese "Zhulu Tianxia", Maoli Huiyuan and Chen Sheng, the maritime merchants, hit it off and had close contacts. Chen Sheng Sheng Sheng began to carry a large amount of prohibited items to the Japanese country, and Maori Huiyuan, who controlled Iwami Silver Mountain, gave Chen Sheng countless silver rewards.
In the fifth year of Wanli, Chen Sheng came to Beijing, founded Lianyun Bookstore and Zabao, and began his activities in the capital.
Zhu Yixuan found problems with Chen Sheng and Lianyun Bookstore, and he was there every time. Because of the haze disaster caused by coal smoke in Beijing, Lianyun miscellaneous newspapers would wave flags and clamor for the suspension of work at Xishan Coal Bureau; in the Ming Dynasty, Chi Road was repaired The miscellaneous newspapers in Lianyun will make noise, and the great construction and destruction of the country will be around the corner; the Ming Dynasty specializes in coking steel, coal and iron, the miscellaneous newspapers in Lianyun will bark, and the accumulation will make the world poor;
The most important thing is that Lianyun Bookstore likes to talk about the emperor No.
The method of stealing water and fertilizer from the Ming Dynasty alarmed even Zhu Zaiyu, the king of Germany who rarely appeared in public. It can be imagined that it was so bad.
"I don't understand, isn't he from southern Fujian? The Japanese pirates are harassing the southeast. Even in Prince Zheng's Mansion, I heard about the tragedy in the southeast. Everyone wants to eat their flesh and blood. Why is this Chen Sheng? Want to help the Japanese country and steal our Ming Dynasty's water and fertilizer production?" Zhu Zaiyu was very puzzled. If it were elsewhere, Zhu Zaiyu would not ask.
But Chen Sheng is from southern Fujian.
We must know that the Japanese invaders wreaked havoc in the Southeast, especially in Zhejiang and Fujian. Their crimes are too numerous to describe. Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, Chen Tiande, Ma Wenying from Jiuying, Zhejiang, etc., people from the Southeast and those who came from the Southeast, all expressed grief and indignation. , vowing to avenge blood.
But this Chen Sheng actually surrendered to the Japanese.
"For silver, Maoli Huiyuan offered three million taels of silver. As long as Chen Sheng can get it, he can get three million silver." Shaosi Kou Lu Guangzu answered this question, the alienation of money from people.
Three million taels of silver is really a lot. Three years ago in Wanli, the emperor’s gold flower and silver only had one million taels of silver. The full tomb of Emperor Longqing contained 500,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to six former emperors. The mausoleum.
“That’s it.” Zhu Zaiyu looked at the criminal in the audience.
For such a serious case, there are only thirteen criminals. This has to be mentioned, Zhu Yixuan, the devil in the world, went to Lianyun Bookstore with a nine-pound cannon.
The day Zhu Yili ran to ransack his house happened to be the day when the criminal gang headed by Chen Sheng gathered. Taking advantage of the emperor's departure, he made some small moves to create some momentum and public opinion, and then fished in troubled waters. Everything was planned, and the result was still Before the execution was carried out, Zhu Yili came to attack the door. He asked Tiqi to surround Lianyun Bookstore and even pulled out the artillery.
There were thirteen criminals, but the number was so small because during the shelling, the Tiqi soldiers were a little too heavy-handed. More than 130 people died that day. The reason why it is not clear is that more than 30 people were killed. Because some of the people were hit head-on by exploding bullets, the bodies were really incomplete.
On the day of the public trial, one hundred and twenty-three people died one after another.
So these thirteen people are left to stand trial.
As Zhao Zhenyuan continued to preach, each piece of evidence was carried to the execution hall for display. The people could see clearly that the evidence was truly ironclad. For example, Chen Sheng gave Terumoto Mori's secret letter was personally testified by Oda Nobunaga's sister, Oda City, who took out Terumoto Mori's letter for handwriting comparison and found it to be authentic. The letter was written by Terumoto Mori himself.
The criminal Chen Sheng and 13 other people were kowtowing constantly.
In addition to conspiring with Japanese pirates to steal the achievements of the Chonggu Progress Award, these criminals also committed many other crimes. They worked with merchants, raised dung tyrants, water tyrants, sand tyrants, rice tyrants, etc. to drive up prices. Zhu Yiliu caught The Qin Tianba who arrived was one of Chen Sheng's lackeys; he secretly set up a gang to abduct and sell young people; he disobeyed the court's orders, abolished the status of slaves and ordered them to sign a deed of sale, etc. Zhao Zhenyuan brought the contents he investigated to the truth. said it out.
"Chen Sheng, do you have anything else to say?" Lu Guangzu left the case on file, looked at Chen Sheng, and asked sternly.
Chen Sheng was tied up in a posture called 'Dapeng Spreading Wings'. He put his hands behind his back and had to lift them up hard, otherwise the rope around his neck would tighten, and he had to lean forward with his head. You have to lift it up hard, otherwise you will die before the trial is over. His whole posture is indescribably funny.
This is Zhu Yili’s art, rope art.
Zhu Yixuan once again told the world that the beauties from all over the world have never been his shield. He really likes to play some fun games with the beauties from all over the world. After all, if you toss the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will really beat him, but if you toss the beauties from all over the world, the emperor will really beat him. , really no one cares about him.
Chen Sheng couldn't struggle, and he shouted loudly: "It's okay to accuse me! Didn't I just say a few words about the emperor's faults, and I was so humiliated by you?! Do you really think that I am cartilage? Humph! Eighteen years later, Another hero!"
Chen Sheng, who had been kowtowing just now, suddenly became angry and shouted loudly. With such evidence, Chen Sheng knew that he would definitely die, so he simply acted bravely and refused to surrender. The scene made people remember him, and by the way, he poured a basin of sewage on the emperor that could not be washed away no matter what!
"Oh? Really? Are you sure you want to retract your confession?" Lu Guangzu said quite calmly: "The attitude of confessing is extremely bad. He goes back on his words. He retracts his confession in front of the court. He is making fun of the court and making fun of his own officials. The Jiefuan Court has recently Very few new specimens are brought in. "
Chen Sheng's unyielding and even righteous attitude suddenly stopped, because he was a man of the Ming Dynasty and knew very well that death is not scary, but entering the Jiecu Hospital is scary. The horror of the measurement unit of a room can only be fully reflected when it falls on a specific person.
Lu Guangzu’s words were very calm. It was so easy and comfortable to be a Sikou during the Wanli period. Such a thing that had to be slandered by death to slander the imperial court could not happen during the Wanli period, because he would definitely live but not die. It would be better to kill him if he were to make specimens there.
"I will not retract my confession! I plead guilty. I am guilty. I colluded with Mao Li Huiyuan to steal water and fertilizer production. I am guilty! Don't send me to the prison! Shao Si Kou, spare my life, spare my life!" Everyone in Chen Sheng was stupid. He forgot to understand what was going on in the courtyard, and kept kowtowing in weird and twisted postures.
The people in the audience originally thought that there was another hidden meaning in this matter, but when they saw Chen Sheng begging for mercy, they immediately burst into laughter. This was a dirty trick before death, mainly because of his appearance. It's really funny, as weird as a big rooster pecking at rice.
This is Zhu Yili's "Animal Transformation Technique". He used a rope to turn it into this shape. In addition, Chen Sheng's behavior was too funny, which resulted in such a show effect.
Lu Guangzu took out a lottery ticket from the lottery tube, threw it out, and said quite calmly: "If you don't recant your confession, you will also be sent to the Jiecuyuan. I didn't expect it."
"Huh?" Chen Sheng, who was pecking at rice, was stunned on the spot.
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter again. Lu Guangzu looked very serious, but during the trial, he could still torture the criminal to this point.
"Send to the Jieju Court." Lu Guangzu stopped talking nonsense to Chen Sheng and chose to sentence the forty-seven criminals. The Ministry of Punishment has already discussed it. As long as there are no new circumstances, such as new evidence, , the criminal's new meritorious service, etc., the judgment will be based on the ministry's decision.
Some will be sent to Jieguan, some will be sent to Caishikou to be beheaded in public, and some will be exiled to Womagang to dig coal. Everyone has a bright future.
Since the ministry meeting has already determined the verdict, what is the significance of a public trial and a public sentence?
In fact, it is very simple. The people watching have exercised their power of supervision. Right and wrong are in their hearts. Originally, for the people, the law did not exist at all, and they were indifferent to the law because they had no use at all. But now public trials allow the people to participate in it, even just a little bit, which is a huge progress for the law.
This can also be seen from the reactions of ordinary people. Resorting to the law to protect oneself seems to be an option.
Zhu Zaiyu stood up, smiled at Zhu Yixi and said: "Since the verdict has been passed, the people have no objections, and there is no excitement, then I will go back to the Royal Academy of Geosciences, my dear nephew, Many people relied on their connections to tell Dr. Wu Jing that you were fooling around. I also took a look at it in my spare time. You did a good job. Your brother is really working hard. I don’t understand politics, but I understand people’s hearts. Are you not giving Your brother is causing trouble."
"Do your best, don't let our old Zhu family suffer, and be more energetic."
Zhu Zaiyu did not call himself a loner, but regarded himself as an emperor. The identity of the uncle confirmed what Zhu Yili did and gave him support. He was the supervisor of the country according to the emperor's imperial decree, but he did not care about the general affairs. Someone asked him to come out to suppress Zhu Yili's arrogance. Zhu Zaiyu was busy with the principle of infinity of all things. , since I saw it today, I simply expressed my stance directly.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Zhu Yixuan did not expect that the Emperor's uncle, who was indifferent to government affairs, would support his behavior in such a public way.
"Your Majesty has a good saying, you don't care about politics, but politics will care about you. Politics, the collective decision-making activities of people, affect everyone. Although I don't care about these, I know that you are doing the right thing, Li Son, if you do it boldly, you really broke the news. It was me who indulged you. If something happens, your majesty will blame me." Zhu Zaiyu didn't just give his support in vain, but gave a guarantee and took over. Guilty.
The most sinful thing in the world is to find Zhu Zaiyu in trouble. If a child is ignorant and gets into trouble, isn't it his uncle who is responsible?
Zhu Zaiyu left, disappointing the humble Confucians who had hoped that King De would come out of the Gewuyuan and punish Zhu Yili. Zhu Zaiyu had already made his position clear at the public trial.
Well done! Keep up the good work! Be more energetic!
Man is the sum of all social relationships. People cannot live independently from society. As long as they are alive, relationships exist. Someone asked Dr. Five Classics to invite Zhu Zaiyu to come out through relationships. Zhu Zaiyu was also a little annoyed. Forty-eight A horsepower steam engine was about to be tested. As Dr. Zhu Zaiyu, he was very busy. With such a statement, no one would bother him with research.
The forty-eight-horsepower steam engine was successfully tested. This good news was sent to the emperor on the southern tour along with the results of the public trial.
"No, what does the emperor study all day long?" Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in his hand and said to Zhang Juzheng sitting on the other side with a strange look: "The emperor actually said that one person is equal to 1.28 A horse? "
The definition of one horsepower is very clear. A horse works continuously for four hours, lifting a total of 720,000 kilograms of water by one foot. Zhu Zaiyu found fifty strong laborers. After experiments, it was found that one person is equal to 1.28 horses.
"The whole argument is very rigorous. Humans have more endurance than horses, and human power is inferior to animal power." Zhang Juzheng read Zhu Zaiyu's memorial. He sincerely congratulated Zhu Zaiyu on the successful test run of the 48-horsepower steam engine. Zaiyu demonstrated how capable the person was, and Zhang Juzheng also expressed his affirmation.
A pulley and a big bucket, in addition to eating, drinking and defecation, a person can do it for four hours, and the work done is 1.28 times that of a horse.
"Does Your Majesty want to go to Jinan Mansion?" Zhang Juzheng asked the Emperor's next stop. His Majesty followed the Chi Road to Qingcheng County. Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has two choices. From Qingcheng, go east along the Chi Road, pass through Qingzhou Prefecture and end at Bosi, Mizhou City, Jiaozhou Bay. The second route is to enter Jinan Prefecture, go to Taishan and Yanzhou and enter Xuzhou. These two routes The route has been prepared, it just depends on the will of His Majesty the Emperor himself.
"Go to the Mizhou Ship Division." Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate much and directly told Zhang Juzheng his choice.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yi'e, the governor of Shandong, was your Majesty's supporter. At that time, everyone did not recognize him because he was a disciple of Xu Jie. It was your Majesty who overcame everyone's opinions and promoted him to be the governor of Shandong. "Wang Chonggu said what Zhang Juzheng wanted to say."
Wang Yi'e is an imperialist and a die-hard. After working in Shuntian Fucheng for ten years, he finally got the chance to be promoted. Now he has passed Shandong and not reached Jinan. This is distrust. Wang Yi'e In the future, I will be a little constrained in what I want to do in Shandong.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Shandong, Wang Yi'ou, has arrived." A small yellow door hurriedly walked in and bowed his head to hear the news.
"This means that King Cao Cao will arrive soon, but I did not announce that he is coming to see you." Zhu Yijun showed a smile and said: "Announcement."
Whether the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going north or south, , will not enter Jinan Mansion. In the Battle of Jingnan, Tie Xuan almost crushed Zhu Di to death with a thousand catty gate. It is still a taboo now. When Emperor Wuzong visited the south, he did not go to Jinan Mansion.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not go to Jinan Prefecture, but the governor of Shandong can come to Qingcheng to greet him.
According to the emperor's imperial edict before leaving, officials at all levels were not allowed to leave their jurisdiction to meet the emperor. Wang Yi'e went to Qingcheng County at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain to meet the emperor, which was a bit AWOL.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty." Wang Yi'e shook his sleeves and performed a grand salute of five bows and three kowtows.
"Wang Yi'e, do you know your crime? I have a clear decree and you are not allowed to leave without permission." Zhu Yijun said pretending to be angry.
Wang Yi'e bowed his head again and said: "I don't know the crime. Your Majesty's conduct is the royal way. As a Beijing official, I should be a guard. Since I am not a foreign official, there is no such thing as leaving my post without permission."
"What a clever word! I will find a reason for myself, and I can barely make sense. No courtesy, just sit down and talk." Zhu Yijun moved his hand and motioned for Wang Yi'e to sit down.
This is not a reason. Wang Yi'e's full official title is indeed Deputy Capital Censor, Governor of Shandong. He is indeed a capital official. The governor is only a dispatch, not a local official. He is the same as Wu Shanyan, the governor of Zhejiang, and When the situation dictates that the right-wing and right-wing people collude, the result will be the death penalty.
"Your Majesty, I have an interesting story." Wang Yi'e sat down and started chatting without talking about business first.
“Oh?” Zhu Yijun said curiously: “What kind of interesting story is it?”
“He Yuanwai from Qingcheng County has a son who has been lazy since he was a child. He has a bit of family background but has no patience for anything. That means he can't be successful in martial arts. Wasn't this the academy examination some time ago, where he was asked to test himself as a scholar? Suddenly, his son, who could not be carved out of wood, became a genius. "Wang Yi'e began. Tell this interesting story.
He Yuanwai is from a well-known wealthy family in Qingcheng County. He has a young son named He Zhenyan. He is famous for being lazy in all parts of the country. He is not stupid, but lazy. The tutor he hired cannot teach him. He Zhenyan could not be taught by the well-educated people in Baxiang. Coupled with his parents' connivance, He Zhenyan kept hanging out. It looked like he was sixteen years old, the age for marriage.
No woman of the right family is willing to marry and suffer. If you search further, you can find some families who are greedy for wealth, but the He family is not happy.
In the college examination in the 13th year of Wanli, He Zhenyan, who was not good at anything, suddenly became a genius.
"What kind of genius method is this? Learning arithmetic is like having mental arithmetic. You can know the answer just by looking at it, and it must be correct. You can compose a poem in seven steps and a lyric in ten steps. It's true. No, I also stole the show when I participated in various poetry gatherings. Everyone praised me, saying that the literary star came down to earth, and the prodigal son returned without money, and he also scolded the imperial examination."
"It's time to look at the college examination. "After the exam, He Zhenyan failed in the math test, scoring 48 points," Wang Yi'e said with a smile.
"Oh? The full score is one hundred points. Forty-eight points are really low." Zhu Yijun nodded and said.
Wang Yi'e said with a smile: "After thinking about it, I figured it out. In order to make their children look like geniuses, the He family probably spent a lot of money to bribe others. If they fail the exam, Hey, isn't this the unfair trial of the Daming Academy? Things also developed like this. He Zhenyan's parents sued the county government. The county government refused to let the He family and his son make trouble unreasonably, so they sued the government. "
< br>"This matter has caused quite a stir, and it was even reported that the minister accepted the bribe and refused to accept it."
Zhu Yijun asked: "Then how did you deal with it?"
Wang Yi'e held his hands, moved forward and said: "I just set up an open space three feet outside the palace, placed He Zhenyan's single table there, and asked questions on the spot, and the result was one He got a perfect score of 23 points."
"I set up a monument at that place, which reads: Qingcheng is a lazy and stubborn man who suddenly realizes that he has many resources and is a genius. His reputation spread all over the world. His parents were anxious and complained that it was unfair. He was twenty-three in the Jinan Prefectural Examination, which is a strange news in the world! "
"He Zhenyan had no shame to continue studying in the county school and dropped out of school."
This is the origin of Wang Yi'e's Monument of Strange Stories from the World. His specialty is erecting monuments. If you follow him, he will really carve people on stones for people to laugh at, just like the happy forest of steles outside Chaoyang Gate. A must-go place for students entering Beijing.
What’s more interesting is that to this day, no one has broken Xu Jie’s own corruption record.
"Your Majesty, you must be wary of the attempts by powerful right-wing officials to covet the imperial examination candidates." Wang Yi'e said why he wanted to tell this interesting story. Shandong started from Jixia Academy in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It is a place where culture and education flourish, and now someone is changing the rules of imperial examination selection, or class transition, in Shandong. Wang Yi'e dealt with the matter and reported it to His Majesty.
"Governor Wang handled the matter well, which is related to the rise and fall of the country. There is no room for sloppiness. This matter was published in newspapers and published everywhere." Zhu Yijun felt that Wang Yi'e handled the matter well and did it right.
In fact, He Yuanwai can definitely donate a hyperplasia, which is also prestigious and is equivalent to a scholar. Of course, he cannot donate if he is a scholar or a Jinshi. The reason why He Yuanwai is so troublesome is because the hyperplasia will be laughed at, especially In Shandong Province, purchased growth is generally not recognized and even looked down upon.
“Your Majesty, I have something to report. Recently, I discovered that someone from Shandong was smuggling rice grains to the Japanese country to make huge profits. The price of rice in Japan has been declining year after year. This year, some people have focused on grain and want to send grain to Japan to make huge profits. "Wang Yi'e talked about another incident. Japanese ships came to Ming Dynasty to buy grain, and some illegal people in Ming Dynasty were involved. Maritime traders were smuggled to Japan.
If coupled with the fact that Chen Sheng and Maori Huiyuan intended to steal the Ming Dynasty Water and Fertilizer Law, it actually illustrates a problem. The rice of the Japanese country is really not enough.
"Why is the Japanese country short of food? Is it true that the food grown in the ground cannot feed the eight million people? No, it is because of frequent wars and no clear leader, and as the sea As trade prospered, more and more people began to abandon their roots and pursue their inferiors. Outside the city, there were bandits and defeated soldiers, and in the city, people were living in a state of drunkenness and drunkenness. "Wang Yi'e didn't think that the land of the Japanese country could support the people of the Japanese country.
The population of the Japanese country is declining rapidly. Eight million people can fully afford it. War destroys production. With the rise and fall of maritime trade, more and more people are leaving the land, even if they have no Silver flows in, but prosperous commerce still changes the production structure of Japan. Japan's silver is flowing out, but treasure notes are flowing in.
This change made the Japanese country more dangerous.
"A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry?" Zhu Yijun frowned. If there was nothing to eat, he would grab it. This is the inertial logic of the Japanese pirates. One part of the human behavior has not been learned, and the other part of the animal nature is deeply ingrained.
"Maybe it's North Korea." Wang Yi'e is the governor of Shandong, which is very close to North Korea and the Japanese country. He sat up straight and said: "If the Japanese people jump over the wall in a hurry, it must not be because the king of North Korea refuses to enter Beijing. If left alone, once the Japanese pirates get a springboard to the mainland, their ambitions will turn to the Ming Dynasty. "
The Ming Dynasty and North Korea are not close to each other. There are some conflicts, but the problem is not too big. It is between countries. Interest comes first, but because of these contradictions, it is very unwise and irrational to give up North Korea to the Japanese country.
"They want to invade Korea unless Oda Nobunaga dies." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "First of all, it is strictly forbidden for maritime merchants to sell grain eastward to the Japanese country. This is an important matter. The Ming Dynasty does not have enough grain."
Mouri Terumoto invaded North Korea alone and lacked strength. Oda Nobunaga could not bypass Mouri Terumoto to attack North Korea and solve the food crisis. Due to geographical reasons, Oda Nobunaga could not do it.
The conflict between Oda Nobunaga and Mori Terumoto is irreconcilable. The two sides have been fighting for so many years. Oda Nobunaga wants Iwami Ginzan, but Mori Terumoto will not give it unless Oda Nobunaga wants it. Chang dies, or Mouri Terumoto is completely defeated, otherwise there is no basis for reconciliation. If there is reconciliation, neither party will be able to explain to their subordinates.
The Ming Dynasty is still very familiar with the situation in the Japanese country, and currently does not have the ability to form a joint force to invade the invaders.
The Ming Dynasty seemed to have done nothing, just opened the sea, but the Japanese country still became more turbulent because of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Ming Kaihai is in trouble." Wang Yi'e sat up straight and talked about business. He ran from Jinan Prefecture to Qingcheng County to meet the Holy Spirit. Naturally, it was not to connect with each other, but for him. When I was working in the local area, I discovered that the Ming Dynasty had entered a bottleneck period in the twelfth year since its founding.
“Tell me in detail.” Zhu Yijun said with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, the first dilemma is the saturation of overseas markets. The production of goods in Ming Dynasty is still increasing rapidly, but overseas demand has not increased at the same time." Wang Yi'e talked about the current situation of saturation of overseas goods. In fact, it is not saturated yet, but Ming Dynasty If production continues to grow like this, there will really be some unacceptable situations.
The reason why Wang Yi'e came to this conclusion is that various workshops were still being set up in full swing throughout the Ming Dynasty, but the growth rate of silver inflows in the five major hinterland cities was much lower than that of the workshops. Growth quantity.
The opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty was dominated by trade. Now the road dominated by trade is a dead end.
“Your Majesty, we don’t see any problems in the short term. In the long term, it will definitely cause some chaos. The Michigan Shipping Department already has goods piled up and rotting in the warehouse, and they are unwilling to sell them at low prices. "Wang Yi'e discovered a phenomenon. The goods in more than one warehouse were riddled with insect bites, but they still refused to sell them at low prices.
On the one hand, prices are slowly increasing with the inflow of silver. There is a serious shortage of domestic goods and prices are soaring. On the other hand, goods are piling up in warehouses. This phenomenon seems very contradictory and a bit unbelievable.
But it does exist.
Zhu Yijun can actually understand the emergence of this phenomenon. It is probably like pouring milk into the Mississippi River and refusing to lower the price.
