Treasure Island?
I did not think that the original thought of the barbaric uncivilised Japanese Ying, there is actually the title of the island of gold and silver, this title does not mean that our country Ying gold and silver everywhere. And just now Zhu Pingan said our country with gold cast more than ten feet of the Buddha, tsk, our Ming Buddha statue is at most gold-plated, that also think it’s great, I did not think that the Japanese surprisingly pure gold casting Buddha statue.
Zhu Pingan’s statement made the officials in the hall interested in the Japanese.
“Nonsense, if the Japanese are covered in gold and silver, then why are they dressed in rags, have nothing to eat, and have to come to the coast of our country to be bandits and thieves?!”Li Mo did not believe what Zhu Pingan said.
“This is simple, bonobo east is rich in gold and silver minerals, but lacks natural resources, it is has several large islands that make up the barbarians, limited land suitable for farming, frequent natural disasters and earthquakes, and lack of food and so on. The people depend on food, no matter how much gold and silver there is a lack of food, it is still useless.”Zhu Pingan explained softly.
Zhu Pingan’s explanation was very convincing, for example, there was a flood, only two people on the tip of the tree managed to escape, below was an ocean of flood water. The two people on the tip of the tree, one is a landlord with ten taels of gold, one is a beggar with ten steamed buns, surely the beggar can live to the end, there is no food, there is more gold is useless ah.
“Zi Hou mentioned barbarian Japanese gold and silver exchange is said?”An official asked thoughtfully.
“The East Japan Japanese gold and silver ratio and my Daming difference is huge, the gold price of the Japanese country is greatly lower than my Daming, in the Japanese country set gold words, is not it profiteering?”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and whispered back.
Historically, about a period of time before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the western countries is the use of Japan’s gold price is greatly lower than the international price, a large number of arbitrage, seize profiteering, from Japan to earn a huge amount of gold, earn a full return.
Europe do, I Ming why can not do, why to leave this opportunity to hundreds of years after the European powers it.
This is about the most rough financial war.
“Ridiculous. My Daming hall **** on the country, the country of benevolence and righteousness, how can I use such means to take this ill-gotten gains! We are after the Confucius Sect, this kind of behaviour cannot be done.”After Zhu Pingan made the comment about cashing in on gold, an old minister with grey hair stood out and accused Zhu Pingan.
Err.
This old minister was really a benchmark in the moral world! The Japanese are killing and looting at our doorstep. I just mentioned going to Japan to cash in on the gold, but this is not even possible,**** the country of benevolence and righteousness, after the Confucius Sect and so on all came out.
In other words, I really want to let this old man go to the coast to give the Japanese moral lessons, maybe the Japanese will be moved to the disemboweling to thank you for their sins?
“What you said is also a way to enrich the national treasury. But I don’t know if you know that my Ming silver is in short supply, my Ming territory of ten thousand miles, but the production of silver is not much. Currently support my Ming operation is not easy, how can I use my Ming silver exchange gold. My Ming people’s livelihood depends on silver, silver for gold, long-term, the consequences are unimaginable.”After weighing the pros and cons, an official from the Ministry of Revenue raised a new issue.
In the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, the currency circulating in the market is mainly copper money, silver ah gold ah are only auxiliary; until the Ming Dynasty. Only then was the silver standard system established. If the silver is insufficient, the economic system of the Ming also collapsed.
Although the Ministry of household officials do not understand what is called the silver standard system, do not understand what is financial, but the general still have a rough knowledge.
“What this lord said is very true, but gold cash can not just cash with silver, there are other methods. My Daming produces ceramics, tea, cloth and other things, many of which are lacking in the East Japan and the Japanese, sell them to the Japanese, but ask them to settle in gold, so it’s two birds with one stone.”Zhu Pingan nodded. Then continued.
Zhu Pingan did not intend to exchange silver for gold in the beginning, he said so much, all he wanted was to stretch the sight of the aspirants of Daming a bit, and stop just staring at the acres and acres of the Daming Dynasty. There are more worlds outside of Daming.
Europe at this time has been on the road to catch up beyond China, the Ming Dynasty if now start to open their eyes to the world, there are still a lot of opportunities, the Ming Dynasty at this time is not inferior to the West.
However, if history continues, the sea ban. Closure, lockdown…It is only a matter of time before the Western ships and cannons open the doors of our country. The humiliation of modern China, Zhu Pingan ten thousand don’t want it to reappear, that’s why Zhu Pingan will make use of the opportunity to stretch the country’s sight a little longer, as far as possible, induced them to look at the world squarely in the eyes.
“Oh, you have said so much, circled around in such a big circle, but still not talking about the relaxation of the sea ban! Hmph, the sea ban is the ancestral system, a piece of sail is not allowed to be like the sea is even more explicitly stipulated, the sea ban can not be loosened.”
Li Mo laughed coldly, looked at Yan Song, Yan Shifan and other people who seem to have long been expected, and then very sneering look at Zhu Pingan. Obviously, Li Mo attributed Zhu Pingan once again to the category of Yan Song’s party.
It is also easy to understand that most of Yan Song’s clique, especially Yan Shifan, had the loudest voice for the relaxation of the sea ban. In Li Mo’s eyes, Zhu Pingan rounded such a big circle, what people do not add to the endowment and the national treasury doubled ah and so on, all is bullsh*t, all are blindfolds, all just for a purpose: relaxation of the sea ban!
Zhu Pingan this little thief is really hard for Yan Shifan and other people waving the flag, is also, after all, Yan Song helped Zhu Pingan promotion said a lot of good words, right.
Li Mo re-draws the question back to the sea ban relaxation of strict or not, the two factions of forces in the hall once again argued up. Because of the things that Zhu Pingan just said, relaxation of the faction more and more courageous, of course, strict prohibition of the faction is also not willing to show weakness.
However, this time Emperor Jiajing did not give them more opportunities to play, only listened for a few moments and then let Huang Jin off the stage to call a few names, leaving Yan Song, Li Mo, Xu Shi and other five people, the rest of the people will be led by the small yellow door to send out of the West Garden.
Zhu Pingan is also followed by the crowd was sent out of the West Garden, although Zhu Pingan today face to face performance can be, but Zhu Pingan is not enough to leave the qualifications.
When Zhu Pingan walked to the Hanlin Academy, the people in the Hanlin Academy already knew the news of Zhu Pingan’s promotion, except for Zhang Siwei’s congratulations from the bottom of his heart, everyone else had a look of envy and jealousy, especially Yuan Wei, that face was pulled almost to the ground, and he had even more grudges against Zhu Pingan.
“Congratulations, Ta-Jen Zhu.”
Zhang Juzheng’s gaze towards Zhu Ping An at first was also a bit strange, but it disappeared in a flash, and he came to congratulate Zhu Ping An on his promotion with a smile on his face.
