I am the king of the dead

"Your Majesty has no food, hehe." Shi Heng ate his food indifferently, looking at the rippling Qinhuai River, he couldn't help but sigh, "Nanjing is really rich!"

"Do you want to grab a ticket?" Zhu Qiyu asked cheerfully.

Shi Heng didn't hide it either. That's what he did in Datong Mansion. He said with a lot of emotion: "I want to, but I don't dare, haha."

Zhu Qiyu said in full agreement: "Don't say it's you, I also want to grab a vote. This place is so rich that there is no money, customs and city tax. Is this reasonable?"

"It's unreasonable! They don't pay taxes!"

"Hahaha!"

Yangshi Bridge is full of cheerful air.

Li Xian bowed his head and said: "This is the minister's first question, not the minister's second question. The minister is just saying, what methods did they use to forcefully relocate the people of Yuminfang to the North City, and then forced them to run to the city gate?" .”

"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu showed a smile, Li Xian is really not a mediocre person.

He smiled and said, "Just ask, I will tell you when I know."

Zhu Qiyu, Minister of the Household Department of the Ming Dynasty!The world's financial affairs No.1!

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, no one could compete with Zhu Qiyu in this regard.

nobody!Than me!Learn more about financial affairs!

If Zhu Qiyu can't explain this doubt, then it can only be left to time.

Li Xian frowned and said: "Your Majesty once said that labor is the only yardstick to measure value, and I deeply agree with it."

"The wealth in the world is divided into three parts: reserved, fixed and flowing. It is the so-called financial affairs of the world. It is based on the way of reservation, the way of fixing, and the way of flow. It is like the changes of the four seasons and the movement of heaven and earth. The cycle repeats and repeats.”

"Heaven, earth and man, these three talents, stay solid, these three wealth."

Zhu Qiyu was full of smiles, this Li Xian is actually a good student!People in Nanya are actually familiar with the summary of the salt and iron meeting of the capital's financial affairs.

He asked strangely: "Didn't the people in Nanya have studied financial affairs? What I mean is that the results of my financial affairs have been published and circulated throughout the world, and there are newspapers in all provinces, prefectures and counties."

"If they want to learn about financial affairs, they just have to look at it."

The Daming Mansion Newspaper is in charge of the Sanjing Factory of the Internal Administration.

The appearance of the Dibao can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, when the court messengers would carry the Dibao out of Beijing and distribute it to counties and counties around the country.

Dibao is not an imperial decree, not an official document, but a message that conveys the holy will.

This kind of palace newspaper will publish the emperor's activities, the emperor's edict, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the memorials of his officials, important military and political information, and so on.

To put it simply: headline hot search.

It's not a trivial matter to be reported to the residence.

It is mainly used by local officials to understand the holy will and the court's movements, and it is fixed once a month.

The mansion newspaper has about eighteen pages, and will record many contents in detail. Zhu Qiyu specially set up a three-page financial affairs column to publish the results of the monthly financial affairs salt and iron meeting.

Li Xian shook his head and said, "They don't read, they don't listen, they don't understand, and they don't want to understand."

"How easy is it to collect rent from a collapsed house, how hard is it to make money by using financial affairs?"

Rent collection is indeed simpler, but it is too backward.

"Your Majesty, my second question is, what exactly are imperial silver coins?" Li Xian frowned and said, "I know that your Majesty has determined that currency is liquid assets."

"According to His Majesty's financial affairs proposal, the value of commodities is expressed by the general equivalent, that is, metal currency, because labor is condensed."

"But when I look at things in Nanjing, why is this imperial silver coin more like a fixed asset?"

"It is necessary for the Haoyou family, as long as they collect imperial silver coins, they can release money, such as green rice money, such as yellow rice money, and use these methods to obtain more interest and profits."

"Your Majesty, does this represent the use value of imperial silver coins?"

"But it is obviously not condensed by labor, so why does it generate use value?"

Li Xian has been troubled by this problem for countless days.

The imperial silver coin is obviously a current asset, but why is it more like a fixed asset that can generate more current assets (referring to interest)?

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Wu Jing, the head of the Imperial Academy, once asked me about your question. At that time, the discussion was about why the Tatars hoarded Yongle Tongbao and imperial silver coins, causing their people to boil meat in cowhide bags. Eat, there is no salt yet."

"Heaven, earth and man are the three talents, and these three wealth are kept and flowed, just like the changes of the four seasons, and the movement of the heaven and the earth." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion.

I don't know if Wu Jing took the math exams for the Imperial Academy in the capital; I don't know if Hu Shangshu taught Zhu Jianji well every day, running around to wash the ground for Zhu Zhanqian.

I don't know if everything is fine in the capital.

Hu Wei's conclusion is to use the classical logic of the Book of Changes to translate His Majesty's words and deeds into words that everyone can understand.

With this posture, at this level, is there anyone in Nanya who can sum it up?

They will only hold some plausible scandals, accuse and frame them wantonly, and rush around for their petty profits.

Nanya's defeat was not unjust, Li Xian's current level is very suitable for his position, the fifth-rank patrol salt censor.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Imperial silver coins are general equivalents, and they can measure two values ​​of a commodity."

"Imperial silver coins are indeed liquid assets, but the liquid assets are always passed on to the reserved funds, and the reserved funds will be consumed."

"So imperial silver coins also have the nature of reserved funds and fixed assets, so imperial silver coins can generate profits, or they can generate current assets like fixed assets."

Zhu Qiyu's explanation solved part of Li Xian's doubts, but he still asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, the imperial silver coin itself should be a kind of Dou Hu, the same weight and measure, like Dendrobium Dou Sheng, a similar unit."

There are four court guidelines: fighting dendrobium, balance, seal, benevolence and righteousness.

Douhu is weights and measures, and they are all units of measurement.

Li Xian's words were not very clear, but Zhu Qiyu understood.

For example, one stone, one foot, one bucket, three liters, and five catties cannot be bought or sold.You can't buy one stone.

You can only buy one stone of rice, one foot of cloth, one bucket of beams, three liters of oil, and five catties of meat.

But currency, as another kind of weight and measure, can be bought and sold, and can even generate more liquid assets, and then money can be rolled into money, and interest can be rolled over.

Seeing Li Xian's frowning, Zhu Qiyu knew this problem, and it probably troubled Li Xian for a long time.

What is currency?

It was Li Xian's second question.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Imperial silver coins are supposed to express the value of labor, but they use various non-productive activities to extract wealth, and finally fill the pockets of powerful families."

"And this characteristic of imperial silver coins, because it is not affected by the right time, place and people, does not even have a production cycle. It alienates labor to a certain extent."

"It is necessary for Haoyou's family to wear a double mask on the imperial silver coins."

"First of all, we must make sure that imperial silver coins are inseparable from the labor that constitutes value."

"That's what it is."

Zhu Qiyu hoped that Li Xian could understand what he said, so he paused on purpose.

Li Xianruo nodded with understanding, the value of imperial silver coins is essentially labor.

Silver is worthless without the labor of others, like land that is not tilled.

Seeing Li Xianruo's enlightened appearance, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Labor is immaterial and immeasurable, so the essence of silver coins can only be hidden under his material and measurable facts."

"The essence of silver coins is still labor, but the fact it shows is that each silver coin contains [-]% silver."

"So imperial silver coins can be divided into essence and fact."

Li Xian had already become a little sluggish, and he couldn't understand a little bit.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Because the facts shown will always distort the essence to some extent, we will eventually believe in something that is not true, and will act accordingly."

"For example, the King of Tartar only exchanged for silver coins, not for daily necessities. For example, our Shiyao Haoyou family will put silver in the pigsty, hoping that they will grow silver trees and blossom and bear fruit."

"With this, we can easily come up with a simple and easy-to-understand reason."

"The very nature of money, which is labour, would be invaluable without the fact of imperial silver coinage, and the commodity exchange it facilitated."

"In other words, if there are no real facts and the assistance of such social activities as trading, the essence of imperial silver coins will not be reflected."

"The essence and facts of imperial silver coins are dialectical and co-evolutionary. They appear together, depend on each other, and promote each other. There is no causal relationship between the two, let alone a contradictory relationship."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the somewhat dull Li Xian and asked, "Li Aiqing, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Li Xian stared wide-eyed, shook his head dully and said, "I'm stupid... I don't understand, Your Majesty, this is really too complicated!"

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "I use vulgar characters and vulgar language, don't you understand?"

"Shouldn't be!"

Li Xian looked at the sparkling Qinhuai River and said with a sigh: "I am stupid."

But Zhu Qiyu quickly understood that it involved a little bit of dialectics, which is why it was so difficult for Li Xian to understand.

Zhu Qiyu misses Hu Wei very much by his side, and Hu can wash the floor at any time.

Hu Wei was always able to explain exactly what the great emperor wanted to express by using a subset of classics and history in the first place.

But now that Hu Min is not around, no one can translate Zhu Qiyu's words.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "You write today's memorial and antithesis as a scripture, send it to the capital, let Hu Shangshu have a look, and see if you can explain this matter in a way that is easier for you to understand."

"For those questions you still have, wait until you understand the second question, and then ask."

Li Xian bowed his head helplessly and said: "The minister leads the order."

Li Xian sorted out his and His Majesty's melodies, and in order to express His Majesty's thoughts clearly, he wrote out what he and His Majesty had said word for word in vulgar words and sent it to the capital.

Hu Wei received the instruction, looked at it for a long time, and walked into the small bookstore in the courtyard of his official residence. His majesty's performance was indeed not very easy to understand. After more than half a day, he left out.

As soon as Hu Wei walked out of the Xiaoshu Pavilion, he was taken aback. Jin Lian, Wang Hu, Lin Xiu, people from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance, waited anxiously outside the door.

"Hu Shangshu, how is it?" Jin Lian stepped forward and asked.

Chapter 351 Deviant?road trip also

Wang Hu and the others waited anxiously for Hu Mei. The match between His Majesty and Li Xian was quite incomprehensible to them.

Hu Wei took out the written test book and said with a smile: "It's finished, let's invite King Xiang to attend the Yantie Conference."

Is there any land in this world that Hu Shangshu can't wash?no, no.

Your Majesty, is that deviant?Your Majesty, that is a great journey!

If you want to scold His Majesty, you have to scold him first.

"I'm getting old, and my brain is a bit dull. It's been a long time." Hu Yan laughed heartily at Jin Lian, who was making a fuss.

Liu Ji is very envious of Hu Wei's ability. He is willing to be a real hardcore royalist. He can do what His Majesty says, and he can unconditionally support him, but he asks himself that he can't do it. Shut up.

Especially Shilin.

At this time, Zhu Zhanqian is really full of confidence!

He finally finished learning the financial affairs in the past, and finally understood those things that were like a bible to him.

Zhu Zhanqian usually spends no money except rewards. In other words, money is meaningless to him, the direct prince of Ming Dynasty, and he has everything he wants.

When he was in Xiangyang, how many people in his mansion were rice bugs in his Prince Xiang's mansion?

He knew it clearly, but he never asked, as long as he wanted it, the people below would give it to him.

He has strong confidence in the matter of pleasure, peace of mind, and being a waste. There is no one in the world with more experience than him.

However, he is now in charge of the state, and he has to study those things that he dismissed in the past, otherwise, after he participated in the Salt and Iron Conference, there would be only one sentence: "Follow Your Majesty's old practice."

"Luo Changshi, I'm telling you that although I don't know how to do financial affairs, don't underestimate Gu. He is extremely smart when he is studying." Zhu Zhanqian said confidently.

Luo Bingzhong was stunned for a moment, then asked full of doubts: "Your Highness, you mean that you look like a gentleman?"

Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, shook his head like a rattle and said, "That's not it! I just pick up your teeth and wisdom, and learn financial affairs from His Majesty seriously, so that the Salt and Iron Conference can go on smoothly."

"After His Majesty returns to the capital, Xiangyang Mansion is also calmed down, so let's go home."

"Although this capital is pretty good, people often feel its prosperity. The world's department stores are like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. They really have what they want."

Luo Bingzhong didn't leave his hand from his waist sword, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness means that you are happy here and don't miss your hometown?"

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and said, "No, no, Gu means that although this place is happy, is Xiang Wang's Mansion happy? Obviously not, there are too many things to worry about."

"Look at the court meeting in Fengtian Palace, the court meeting in Wenhua Palace, the administration of the General Administration, Wenyuan Pavilion's monthly examination and yearly examination, the impeachment report of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six ministries, patrolling the city defense, and reviewing the army and horses. It's so annoying! "

"I still have to work in the lecture hall, that's fine, I have to study financial affairs! It's too difficult, it's like walking on eggshells, it's very uncomfortable."
