Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Taxation, grain transport management, canal dredging, salt law management, banknote law...

There's so much to say that I can't finish it all at once.

in other words.

Isn’t this God’s chosen oxen and horses?

In fact, the name "Xia Yuanji" was already in Zhu Yunhuan's budget, but at that time, many things had not yet been carried out, and Fu Youwen, the Minister of Revenue, was still sufficient.

There were so many things waiting for Zhu Yunhuan to do before, and he had no time to spare.

Xia Yuanji was not very old and did not have much experience. He was still a student at the Imperial College. Zhu Yunhuan naturally would not go to great lengths to drag him out of the Imperial College and force him to get a position or something - it was unnecessary, and having no status would only cause trouble and arguments.

However, now there is such a saying as "Auspicious start in the first year of Kaiqian".

It would make sense if we dragged him up here.

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's reaction to the name he mentioned, Ma Sanbao handed over the answer sheet and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of this person?"

"I guess I've heard of it." Zhu Yunhuan took over Xia Yuanji's answer and said it indifferently. As for how he heard of it, he couldn't say.

Ma Sanbao's fear suddenly intensified.

He thought to himself, "This person is truly blessed! Not only did he answer the questions that resonated with His Majesty, but his name has even been heard of by His Majesty!"

When he was shocked.

Zhu Yunhuan had already begun to read it carefully: [I don't know what Your Majesty means by "inflation", but... Your Majesty's rejection of the issuance of additional Ming Baochao is indeed a wise move! I personally think...]

The answer begins by praising Zhu Yunhuan for rejecting Fu Youwen's proposal, but one can tell from the wording that Zhu Yunhuan was being sincere in his praise and that the other person truly agreed with Zhu Yunhuan's approach.

Because Xia Yuanji's answer sheet did not have the same rigid and pedantic air as the other answer sheets he had seen before.

From his words to the vigorous handwriting, one can see the excitement he felt when writing this answer sheet - as if he was expressing the joy of having his thoughts recognized by others.

It also lists the actual data on the gradual decline in purchasing power of "Da Ming Bao Chao" since its issuance.

Regarding the second question, although what I said is not completely correct, it is quite relevant and very realistic.

Zhu Yunhuan took hold of his answer sheet and looked at it for a long time.

Then he slowly raised his head.

There was a rare hint of excitement and joy on his face:

"Even though the article begins by saying they don't know what inflation is, every word and sentence from then on is about inflation!"

What Zhu Yunhuan naturally wanted was not for people to explain the term he proposed word for word. To put it bluntly, this was a name for an economic phenomenon. In this era, it would be fine for Zhu Yunhuan to name this phenomenon after himself.

"If I remember correctly, during his tenure as Minister of Revenue, he attempted to stabilize the Ming Dynasty's treasure notes, which had depreciated due to excessive issuance. However, the effect was limited, and he ultimately failed to prevent the Ming Dynasty's treasure notes from becoming a pile of waste paper."

"With his background and knowledge..."

"Bring him over here and teach him the concepts of economics. If you take the time to teach him, he'll be able to do it like a charm in no time!"

"From this year onwards, the entire Ming Dynasty will have to deal with more and more things, and the Ministry of Revenue's affairs will only become more numerous, broader, and more complicated. Fu Youwen is old, and it's really hard to say how long he can hold out."

"Give Xia Yuanji, the chosen one, some time to gain experience and learn. This will make the transition seamless and save us from abusing the elderly."

After reading the answer sheet in his hand, Zhu Yunhuan immediately had ideas and arrangements in his mind - if his previous understanding of Xia Yuanji was entirely based on the few records in historical materials, this answer sheet gave Zhu Yunhuan a real preliminary understanding of Xia Yuanji.
