Chapter 358 Looks a lot like me
Zhu Zaijing continued to coil the silver ingot in his hand and said unhurriedly: "I want to ask you gentlemen a question, is there anything in this world that can be like water?" Together, they form an unstoppable force, and they can repeat themselves endlessly."
After Zhu Zaijing raised this question, several people present could not help but fall into deep thought. .
There are too many things in the world that can be gathered together to form an unstoppable force like water. However, after gathering, they can cycle back and forth, endlessly, but it seems that there is nothing.
So for a while everyone showed a confused look, looking forward to Zhu Zaijing's explanation.
Zhu Zaijing saw that the atmosphere had almost improved, and it was time for him to continue showing off.
Zhu Zaijing placed one of the silver ingots in his hand on the table, held the other in his hand, and said with certainty: "It's silver! To be more precise, it's money!"
"If we can think of a way to make money flow like water, then let alone the project of the outer city of the capital, it will be more than enough to build another Beijing city."
"But if We can't turn the money around like running water, so we can only spend as much as we have, and it will be gone after we spend it. In the end, it will still be a pool of stagnant water. So, now we have to find a way to turn the money into a stream like living water. "The great river."
"As long as this great river can become a reality, everything on both sides of the river will be like fertile fields nourished by the river water, and will continue to bear fruit one after another. A good harvest.”
"In this way, wouldn't all the problems be solved?"
As soon as Zhu Zaijing finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
Prince Yu’s idea is indeed very advanced, and if you think about it more carefully, it seems that it really makes sense.
If money can really be activated like a surging river of living water, then not only the current problems can be properly solved, but also the same problems can be solved easily in the future. .
But how can we turn silver into living water?
This really stumps everyone here, because their understanding of money is still very simple. They think that money is money, and it is normal to earn every penny and spend every penny.
So, when they encounter a problem, the first thing they want to know is how much money they have and how much money they can spend.
As for the money that exceeds the money on hand, they can think of either saving some money, or borrowing other people's money to spend according to their ability.
So it is still difficult for them to understand silver as running water.
After all, the term "living water" is a financial concept derived from the era after the industrial civilization and economy developed. Before that, the ancients used money as a simple concept.
Therefore, after many wealthy families in history made money, they would rather spend huge sums of money to dig out bottomless cellars one after another in their homes to store the wealth they had accumulated over generations. They would not spend even a penny. circulate in the market.
This also led to the reality that the court spent huge sums of money to mint coins every year, but was short of money every year.
Because almost all of the new money minted was made by these large landlords, and then they either destroyed and recast them in batches to earn huge profits from the price difference, or they lost all the coins. It was hidden underground, thinking that it would last forever, so that it would not see the light of day for hundreds of years.
So even if financial instruments and financial derivatives such as Jiaozi, banks, and banknotes appeared in the ancient financial industry, it could not change the ancients' simple understanding of money at all. They still felt that money It is safest only to have it in your own hands. However, this kind of behavior will unintentionally cause a shortage of money in the market, and will also force the court to spend huge sums of money every year to mint coins for market circulation.
But it was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many coins the court minted, there was still a huge shortage of money in the market. In the end, many places could only barter and use things like cloth as currency.
So if he wants to change the current situation of lack of money in the market, Zhu Zaijing must be creative and play new tricks for these ancients.
Zhu Zaijing said: "I just said that I will not use the money from Shunyi Industrial Park for the construction of the outer city of the capital. It is not out of nowhere, but because I did not intend to do this from the beginning. Do it. Therefore, even if this proposal is included in the letter that I asked Mr. Zhang to write to Mr. Xu Ge, it is just a part of my plan."
"This king came early this morning. At some time, I have already expressed my opinion to His Majesty. Now I am waiting for His Majesty’s approval. If Your Majesty can adopt my new proposal, then I can easily reverse the situation in the outer city of the capital. Qiankun, make it revitalize."
"But if His Majesty feels that it is not possible, then whether it is the project in the outer city of the capital, the newly appointed Hu Zongxian, or the cabinet elders, they will have to ask for more. Fortunately. After all, the outer city of the capital is also His Majesty’s face. Anyone who dares to embarrass Your Majesty will have to pay the price!”
None of the people present could refute Zhu Zaijing's words.
Because they all know the importance of the outer city of the capital. The current project of the outer city of the capital is already an important event related to the face of the court and the emperor's eternal achievements.
Whoever dares to slip up in this matter, then Wang Youzhao's end will be just the beginning. There must be many people who will be implicated and dealt with later!
To be serious, even the high-ranking elders may be involved and become a scapegoat to clear the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor.
So just when Zhu Zaijing said these words, everyone's originally relaxed mood became tense again.
Hai Rui asked: "How confident is your Majesty that your Majesty will adopt your opinion?"
Looking at Hai Rui's concerned look, Zhu Zaijing smiled again and said: "Mr. Hai, I won't do it first. May I ask what my plan is? If my method is just a whimsical and shabby method, wouldn’t it be all over?”
Hai Rui was stunned when he heard this. But he immediately said: "Your Majesty is a genius, and the method he comes up with must be something that ordinary people like me cannot achieve. Therefore, I believe in you!"
After hearing what Hai Rui said, The smile on Zhu Zaijing's face became even brighter.
Zhu Zaijing said proudly: "I never thought that one day I would get such an exaggerated Haigang Peak. This life is enough!"
Then Zhu Zaijing burst into hearty laughter.
At the same time, in the Yuxi Palace of Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing was also looking at the latest document submitted by Zhu Zaijing, "About the Establishment of the Capital Special Economic Zone Development Bank, Vigorously Promote the Steady Construction of the Capital Special Economic Zone Project, and Open up A new plan for the Jiajing prosperity of the Ming Dynasty to new heights.
Emperor Jiajing also became interested when he saw the new words and new suggestions in this new plan.
After Emperor Jiajing read it over and over again word for word, he finally praised sincerely: "The special zone in the capital is great. He is indeed the son who is most like me! This little head can turn around very fast. He looks very much like me."
Emperor Jiajing praised Zhu Zaijing without hesitation, and then he shouted excitedly to Huang Jin: "Huang Jin, go and call the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue, and Hu Zongxian. Come, I want to give them a new arrangement!”
