Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Humph! I was wrong. This brat must have been wrong!"

"We'll settle this account with him when we have the chance!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on the information in his hand, and his face still looked very unconvinced.

But then he seemed to suddenly realize something.

The resentment on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression became extremely complicated. He sneered and said, "You little bastard, you'd better not give me the opportunity to settle the score with you..."

Considering the current situation.

The best outcome would be that his eldest grandson would be able to accomplish everything smoothly, completely take over the Ming Dynasty, and gain the sincere loyalty and support of the people, the military, and the court officials.

If only he really had the chance to settle this account with Zhu Yunhuan.

That must mean that the Huaixi nobles were not appeased or controlled after all, and chaos broke out, forcing him, the Hongwu Emperor, to step forward and make the final decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang would certainly prefer the former outcome: "Although I would like to settle this account with you, it is best for us, grandfather and grandson, not to see each other again in the future."

His voice contained both expectations and sincere wishes for Zhu Yunhuan, as well as a sense of embarrassment and loneliness.

After saying that, he took a deep breath.

He immediately cast aside the sudden loneliness and said with a relieved smile, "We'll talk about what happens next later. If I can die of old age as Huang Shiliu, it would not be a bad destination. Let's see if this undercover agent who finally got in can get the answer to the second question for us!"

He thought he already knew the answer to the first question given by Zhu Yunhuan, but the answer to the second question... had made him curious for a long time.

As he spoke, he searched for the target in a pile of intelligence.

But when he flipped through the other intel and saw what the undercover agent had obtained, he frowned, puzzled. "A picture... What the hell is this thing? Just a bunch of horizontal, vertical, and curved lines tangled together, along with some bullshit symbols? What on earth is this?"

What Zhu Yuanzhang saw.

This was exactly the "relationship diagram of money supply and money demand determining monetary equilibrium" in "Macroeconomics" that Zhu Yunhuan had explained to Xia Yuanji and others before.

It naturally looked extremely strange in his eyes.

"The value of money... the price level... the quantity of money... inflation..."

"What does this ugly painting and these nonsense words have to do with inflation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought he knew the answer to the first question and opened the information confidently.

I was stunned for a moment.

This is completely different from the answer he overheard before...

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but curse.

In other words, he had no idea that what he had overheard before was actually just the most superficial and easy to understand explanation.

He thought it was his comfort zone.

As a result, all these things now hit his blind spots in knowledge.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at the "painting" in his hand from top to bottom, left to right, horizontally and vertically for a long time... Well, he didn't understand it.

I had no choice but to give up for the time being and put the picture aside. In order to save my dignity, I cursed: "What the hell! What kind of rubbish did you get from me?"

Then I continued reading.

Fortunately, the following page finally contained words he could understand:

[After entering the Ministry of Revenue, I immediately met the four highly sought-after individuals who had earned Your Majesty's favor due to these two questions.]

[Originally, the four gentlemen were instructed by His Majesty to teach his subordinates.]

[This subordinate entered the Ministry of Revenue and, after exchanging pleasantries with the four masters, was immediately stumped by them. They asked me two questions:]

[Part 1: Why did the increased issuance of Ming Dynasty treasure notes lead to price increases? Price increases are just a conclusion and a superficial phenomenon. What are the underlying reasons?]
