Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 57: The Era of Great Navigation! (Please follow up! Ask for a monthly pass!)
As soon as Emperor Xuande finished saying the word 'Baiyin', he suddenly realized that Lao Zhu's expression was not right, so he hastily added.

"I have made a decree to strictly prohibit the use of silver in transactions among the people. Those who use silver in transactions will be fined thousands of coins.

The meaning of this is obvious.

Old Ancestor, I listen to you. Those who disobey are the common people. If you want to beat and scold me, you can't blame me!
However, Emperor Xuande's decree is actually the same as the next one. The value has been depreciated by a thousand times, and no one wants paper to wipe his ass. If you want to be punished, you will be punished. Who cares?
"Even if it is the imperial power, it can't beat the laws of the market."

Ji Boying summed up everything lightly in one sentence, and then looked at everyone.

"You are all the emperors and princes of the pioneering period of the Ming Dynasty. In your era, some things are still too late."

As soon as the words came out, Eleven Zhu held his breath and listened attentively, all of them pricked up their ears to listen, for fear of missing a word, they knew that Master Ji Boying and Immortal Ji were about to start imparting the mysteries of true meaning.

And this is why Ji Boying divided the Ming Dynasty into three periods according to the timeline. Some of the things he is talking about now will not work at all for those dynasties later in the timeline, or it will be full of holes, and it is too late.

Only textbooks can be changed.

"The law of the market chose silver, which means that Daming was forced to choose silver."

'Da Ming was forced to choose silver? '

This sentence exploded in the hearts of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and others. They always felt that there was a dark cloud over the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, this dark cloud split a ray of dawn under the thunder of the immortal master.

"Master Immortal, is there any difference between actively choosing and being forced to choose? Why is there a risk of subjugation if forced to choose?"

A Biao, the first three-good student of the Zhu family, asks a question.

"Good question."

Ji Boying smiled, he likes this kind of good students who follow the teacher's train of thought.

"The core point is time."

'time? '

Everyone's hearts trembled again, they didn't speak in surprise, they just listened attentively.

"Da Ming was forced to choose the time of silver."

"Ah Biao, let me ask you, when Daming is forced to accept silver as the currency in circulation, which point will become important?"

Zhu Biao's expression became tense, and Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and others all looked at Zhu Biao one after another, hoping that the three good students of the old Zhu's family would give them a good face.

Accompanied by the frenzied rotation of the brain CPU, Zhu Biao had a flash of inspiration, his eyes showed spirit, he took a deep breath and said.

"The total amount of silver!"

"very good!"

Ji Boying applauded.

His idea of ​​teaching people how to fish is not as good as giving them fish, which obviously worked for Zhu Biao.

"At the time when Daming was forced to choose silver, this place..."

Ji Boying paused, and coughed twice. The concept of the earth will be instilled in this group of people surnamed Zhu in the future.

"The era of great navigation in this world has come."

The Age of Discovery? !

Old Zhu is numb again, one of his ancestral rules is the Forbidden Sea...

At this moment, Lao Zhu began to doubt his life a little bit. Could it be that all the ancestral systems he set were wrong? !

Old Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he heard it. He had already known the prosperity of the world through his Yongle voyages to Zheng He, but his voyages were only official activities. Although he made money, it was all used by Old Zhu Di himself.

"Da Ming fully accepted silver as the mainstream currency, but the amount of self-produced silver was too low. At this point in time, we ushered in the age of great voyages. In order to ease finances, we had to import a large amount of overseas silver. Since then, Ming has become the world's largest silver importer in this era."

"It can be said that it was Overseas Silver that saved Daming's life."

"However, dialectics tells us that everything in the world has two sides, good and bad are accompanied, and there are advantages and disadvantages."

"Although the massive import of overseas silver temporarily eased Ming's financial pressure, the direct consequence was that Ming completely lost its control over the domestic currency, and it gave wealthy nobles the opportunity to collude with overseas giants and embezzle the country's wealth."

"By the time of Chongzhen, the countries in the world that mainly controlled the export of silver realized the importance of silver to their own economies, and began to curb the outflow of silver. The silver that could be imported into Ming Dynasty dropped sharply to less than [-]% of the original in just ten years."

"Silver is in short supply, the people are terrified, and the aristocratic families are filling their own pockets. On the one hand, there is less silver flowing in from overseas, and on the other hand, there is also less silver circulating in the country. Under the double oppression, a serious silver shortage has been caused."

"At this time, the imperial court has already lost control over the currency, and even the road of over-issuing currency to drink poison to quench thirst is impossible. The only way is to increase taxes, seven consecutive tax increases, and want to extract silver from the hands of the people to continue their lives. Every time the increase is made, the rebel army grows stronger. The stronger the rebel army, the more the imperial court needs silver to calm the chaos. Such a vicious circle."

"Therefore, one of the causes of death in the collapse of the Ming Dynasty: silver poisoning."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Ji Boying took the herbal tea presented by Xiyu and drank it down in one gulp.

For a science and engineering subject, Ji Boying already thought it was pretty good to be able to address the issue to this extent.

All the emperors and princes in the audience listened with astonishment and solemn expressions, because they suddenly realized that even though they seem to understand, even if they seem to know these problems, they can't think of a way to solve them at all!

"Brother, silver is poisoned, doesn't it mean that silver is bad?"

"Then...you don't need it, can you?"

Lao Zhu asked a question that he himself felt a little stupid.

Ji Boying put down his teacup.

"No."

"Silver has been the world's currency for centuries, and this is a world trend."

"Old Zhu, don't you understand?"

Ji Boying stood up, took two steps forward, and approached Lao Zhu slightly.

"Don't you understand the core point of the problem I just said?"

Two steps closer.

"This…"

Lao Zhu rubbed his big hands together, his expression became a little nervous. After all these years, he felt at a loss for the first time. He didn't even blink his eyelids when he fucked Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang.

"You are really the worst class I have ever taught!"

Ji Boying flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

At this meeting, Lao Zhu was sweating coldly on his forehead, and the emperors and princes in their seats also had bad expressions. It was the first time in their life that they felt so ashamed.

"Understood!"

"I got it!"

Just at this time, Zhu Biao, a Miyoshi student, showed his eyes brightly, as if Yangming Longchang enlightened a hundred years later, he stood up happily.

All of a sudden, all big, middle and small Zhu looked at him, this was the only face of their old Zhu's family!
"Ah Biao, tell me."

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, suppressing the joy on his face.

"There is nothing wrong with silver, what is wrong is that Daming has too little silver!"

Hearing this, Ji Boying smiled.

This is where the true meaning and sense of accomplishment of teaching come into being.

"The answer is very good!"

Ji Boying smiled like a teacher, cast affirmative glances at A Biao, and motioned him to sit down.

"What I just said about getting money is getting silver."

"Master Immortal, my Great Ming silver class is only so small every year, even if I want a little more silver, there is nothing I can do."

Fatty Hong Xi frowned and said, other people also had the same question, where to get silver?
"Who said it's going to happen in Daming?"

"Where do you go?"

Old Zhu spoke subconsciously.

Ji Boying rolled up his sleeves and sat back in the grand teacher's chair, Erlang raised his legs.

"Far in the sky, right in front of you."

Xiao Zhu Si was taken aback when he heard the words, then scratched the back of his head with a bit of embarrassment and smiled.

"Master Immortal, what...isn't it good for so many of us to mess with you?"

Ji Boying:? ? ?
