Chapter 112 Zhu Er, do you think we are dead this time?
"This problem is left by the current Emperor Hongwu!"
Lin Che sighed quietly and said: "When Emperor Hongwu discovered the treasure banknotes, the value received by the people was reduced by [-]%, and there was no way to deduct taxes."
"When you enter and exit, the court makes a lot of money, but the people suffer heavy losses!"
"If this kind of government decree that treats the people like brainless leeks is not changed, no matter how much other corners are repaired, the treasure banknotes will inevitably rot!"
The inflation caused by the excessive issuance of treasure banknotes is still in its early stages.
"The depreciation rate will only get faster and faster in the future."
“In the end, the currency value shrank by more than 100 times or more than when it was issued! "I'm afraid only God knows how many people's blood has been sucked into it."
After Zhu Xi heard this, he was not only numb.
He even wanted to go back to the palace immediately to question his father why he instituted such a bad policy of robbing the people.
Simultaneously.
Zhu Xi was also extremely shocked by Lin Che's knowledge.
A mere treasure banknote actually contains so many principles of governing the country.
Lin Che didn't know what kind of truth and knowledge there was in the world.
……
"I actually made such a big mistake?"
In the secret room, Zhu Yuanzhang listened clearly to Lin Che's analysis of the pros and cons of the banknotes.
now.
His old face was already flushed.
It's not that he was angry because of Lin Che's criticism, but he was ashamed from the bottom of his heart! Not long ago, because he had no money to send troops to the Northern Expedition, he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to issue more treasure notes.
Fortunately, today I had a chance to talk about the dangers of excessive issuance of treasure banknotes.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not considered to love the people like a son.
But what if, let him use treasure money to suck blood from the people.
There is absolutely nothing he can do.
It’s not about Zhu Yuanzhang’s high moral obsessiveness.
But he clearly realized that every extra piece of treasure money he issued was overdrafting the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yuanzhang faced the wall and commanded Zhu Biao in a deep voice:
"Boss, today Mr. Lin talked about the dangers of treasure banknotes."
"Please sort it out and show it to the officials from the Zhongshu Provincial Department and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Don't forget to send a copy to Tiande and Baishi."
"By the way, Liu Bowen also wants to send it!"
"Yes, Father!"
Zhu Biao put down his pen, stood up and respectfully agreed.
……
the other side.
Lin Che felt that she was a little drunk.
He held his swollen head, feeling that the alcohol was getting stronger and he was afraid that he would not be able to continue the class.
"I won't talk about the class today. There is still some wine in the wine jar. Let's drink it up. After that, we will go back and rest."
"It's the last night, so I won't leave any homework to make it difficult for you..."
"At least let's have a master-disciple relationship, have a drink, have fun, and send me off quite early..."
Zhu Xi: "???"
What does it mean to drink, have fun, and see off in advance?
Is Mr. Lin determined to pass away? Zhu Xi, with a smiling face that looked worse than crying, poured wine and food for Lin Che.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was next door, felt disappointed after hearing Lin Che's words, and stood up depressedly:
"Sir, let's stop talking. Let's go back. I'm afraid we won't gain much if we continue to stay."
"Boss, let's stay up late tonight to deal with the recent backlog of government affairs. There are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with tomorrow."
heard.
Zhu Biao stood up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously, and reminded carefully:
"Father!"
"Let's just go back and let the second brother..."
"Second brother... let's leave the second brother in prison and do it alone here?"
"My son is afraid..."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he not only did not slow down, but also sped up: "What is there to be afraid of? We are the emperor, and you are the prince and the heir apparent. Do you still want us to do this prison robbery?"
"We have arranged the people here. If the second son doesn't even have this ability, is he still considered a prince?"
"He keeps shouting all day long that he wants to go to the Northern Expedition, just go to the Northern Expedition!"
"I think even leaving the feudal clan is a no-brainer!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the nervous prince and snorted coldly:
"Boss, besides this, what else are you worried about?"
"Worried that those people in Huaixi will be unfavorable to Mr. Lin? Let's lend them some courage!"
"Before, Zhu Liangzu and the others were role models. If they dare to make trouble again, we won't just kill a few people."
"Boss, remember, when you are an emperor, you have to play with your ministers, show off their tricks, come and go, and play games for the king and his ministers. These are all normal. As long as both parties don't tip the table, everyone is good to you and I am good to you."
"But if you go too far and dare to touch our bottom line, then you will lift the table for me, and I will forgive you lightly!"
"I dare say these Huaixi people don't have the guts yet!"
After hearing this, Zhu Biao took a long breath, and then said worriedly:
"But... the second brother is fighting with people inside, and his fists and kicks are blind. If... he is hurt, we can't deal with the queen mother!"
"Remember that you told these inspectors not to harm the lives of these two people, but you didn't say not to do anything!"
"I feel that my second brother has not fully understood what my father means. When the time comes, there will be too much commotion in the prison. If word spreads, it will be treason!"
"I'm worried that the Queen Mother will..."
The voice did not fall.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and turned around to glare at the prince:
"We have said so much, where do these questions come from?"
"You brat, why are you moving out with your mother to suppress us? Is it because I haven't spanked you for a long time and your skin is itchy?"
With that said, he was about to take out the jade belt. Seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly begged for mercy: "My son doesn't dare!"
"Father, please be careful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not let go. He took off his jade belt and slapped the prince on the back, neither lightly nor hard: "Might check the fart!"
"In one day, I know how to protect this and protect that..."
"What's the big deal? Even for the purpose of kidnapping Mr. Lin, it doesn't matter if he gets hurt a little. He's just a man bleeding a little, so what does it matter if he gets hurt a little?"
"If this little thing can't be handled well, we have to punish him properly."
"go!"
"Back to the palace!"
Zhu Biao rubbed his back with his hands, glanced at Zhu Xi's cell, and prayed secretly.
My younger brother, please stop causing big trouble!
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang and his son left the secret room, the drinking party between Lin Che and Lin Che next door came to an end.
Zhu Fang was afraid that drinking too much like at noon would delay things, so he drank more cautiously this time.
Holding the cup, most of the time I only taste it briefly.
Don't dare to drink too much.
After the drinking party was over, Lin Che returned to the prison cell, and Zhu Ping followed her.
Lin Che didn't care either and just thought he was a little reluctant to let go.
Back in the prison cell, Lin Che lay on the straw mat with her hands folded behind her head, looking at the dark night sky through the skylight and thinking about her thoughts.
Zhu Feng sat next to him. After sitting there for a while, he found something to say and said:
"Mr. Lin?"
"You're back in the prison cell so early and you're not going to sleep. Why don't you have two more drinks at my place?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Che still looked at the night sky and said calmly without looking back:
"not so good!"
"While these prisoners have just rested for a while, we want to get some sleep quickly, otherwise we don't know how long the night will last!"
"Alas! Why bother? Isn't it just beheading? Can you not die by crying?"
"You have to be whipped to be honest, aren't you asking for boredom?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Ping beside him and suddenly said: "Zhu Er, do you think we are dead this time?"
